"Aha, a standard human city!"

Outside the marble corridor outside the chamber, a young Noldor stood by the columns, looking out over Caesarea, a cumbersome dark green robe decorated with dazzling patterns, making people wonder what a master this dress came from.

"Oh, where did you see that?" a Nodo, about his size and with fiery red hair, stuck his head out from behind the pillars, looked curiously at the distant scenery, and shrunk his neck, "In my opinion...... It's all pretty much the same?!"

"That's because you don't know how to look closely. The young man said with a smile, and after seeing his friend's puzzled look, he couldn't help but let out a sigh: "Okay! What do you think is the difference between the human settlement and the Noldor?"

"Hmm...... It should be ......" The Nuodo bit his nails and thought for a long time: "They prefer to build houses?"

"Yes, humans prefer to fence themselves off with wooden fences and stone walls, and only then will they feel safe - it's sad!" said the young man with a smile, "and this city contains all the stylistic characteristics of human architecture! ”

"Tall stone walls, angular buildings, straight roads, oh my God, not even the slightest bend! Maybe they admire straight lines, or maybe they like the square design?" the young man shrugged his shoulders and grinned, "It's really fun to go to great lengths to put yourself in a cage made of stone, isn't it?!"

"But you see the palaces and the elevated things, and the oval building. Pointing to the distant scenery, the Noldoc said, "You can't deny that they are indeed magnificent and magnificent!

"My friend, how could you think that? Could it be that mortal liliang can be compared to nature?" the young man looked back and said in surprise, "To be honest, I don't think these things are at all surprising compared to the ancient woods of the Silent Forest and those unforgettable waterfalls......! is using his own pathetic liliang to forcibly change the original form of nature, which in itself is an act of destroying nature!"

"Of course, the only thing that is not so good about these 'Romans' is their artistic accomplishment. The young man leisurely looked at the carvings on the pillars, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "They are perfect in the art of stone carving! Even on the Hall of Birds in Anduria, there is absolutely nothing abrupt, even compared to the finest silk!"

"It's really beautiful, but it's not as exaggerated as you say, right?" The fiery red hair looked at it for a long time, but didn't find anything special about these carvings: "It's just ordinary carvings." ”

"Oh my friend, I'm amazed at how slow you are with art!" the young man looked at him with his eyes open and a look of feigned surprise, "Are you a Nuodo?"

"I'm sorry that an ordinary person like me from a small southern settlement can't compare to your illustrious family!" The fiery red hair didn't feel any surprise at all, and said in a muffled voice, "It's not as knowledgeable as an artist from Anduria like you!"

"All I know is that my hometown is ravaged, and my relatives are starving and fighting the orcs!" the fiery red hair became more and more excited, "If I could, I would like to rush back and fight alongside them immediately!"

"Uh...... If I have any rudeness, please allow me to daoqian!" The young man was a little panicked, and said in a loud voice, lowering his body and clasping his hands together: "I'm really sorry!"

“...... No, I'm sorry for me, my friend, but I was too impatient. The fiery red hair smiled reluctantly, "I shouldn't be like this." ”

"Well, let's both forget about this unpleasant thing and come with me!" the young man smiled happily, put his arms around his neck, and pulled him forward: "Let's go find something delicious, I remember when we came, the guy in the white robe said that a beer here is very good!

"Beer, is it the kind of drink made from wheat?"

"Maybe, or will they use something else?" the young man shrugged, "But as long as it tastes good!

"Lorens!"

A smart voice came from behind the two of them, although it was crisp and moving, but with a hint of undoubted coldness, making the two people turn around with tangled faces.

A tall woman appeared in the eyes of the two of them, but her face was so cold as frost, her silky hair was tied in a ponytail, and her small pointed ears fluttered slightly.

"Hail to you, daughter of Ellewyn, Sibeia Ranger!"

"Uh...... Well, I think you probably misunderstood, I mean I just talked to ......."

"Don't let the two of you out of my sight again!" Sibeya interrupted the young man's words bluntly, her slender legs took a beating step, grabbed the young man's collar and carried it in front of her, her right eye closed slightly, as if she was examining the leopard of her prey: "Don't forget our mission! We are not here to play, put away your bohemian temperament, and let me see you and let you be my practice target!"

“...... Belch...... Uh......" Lawrence's face flushed, it was the first time he had been so close to Sibea - he could even easily feel the gentle breathing of the other party, and the subtle scent of the orchid.

The feeling of pain and happiness - it's really spring!

With a cold snort, Sibea let go of his collar and jerked back, the fiery red hair behind him quickly catching the coughing Lorens.

"Ahem, ahem............ My, ahem—oh my God!" Lawrence looked at the beautiful figure in the distance, shook his head and groaned, "Great Forest of Silence, let her hunt me!"

"I don't think you want to live anymore, in less than a month, you will be hung as a new prey on the collection shelf of the Ardalia family!" The fiery red hair next to him twitched the corners of his mouth, and pulled him up hard: "Do you think you can have hope?!"

"I only believe that fate is in my hands!" Lawrence jumped up, got up from the ground, and smiled confidently: "Look at it, brother, I will succeed!"

"Ah, dear lady, let me find it!"

As soon as Virgil returned from the castle, he bumped into Sibea, who was about to return to the house, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "I have just returned from the castle and met Caesar." ”

"Oh~. Sibeya raised her eyebrows: "He...... How so?"

"Caesar granted your request. Virgil's demeanor was undiminished, and his smiling face was very friendly, which made the originally somewhat angry female ranger's face better: "Of course, it is semi-public, only a few people know about it, and only Caesar and the most important ministers participate in the meeting. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"It is an honor to welcome the messenger from the Silent Forest, especially in ...... This is the kind of time to be!"

In the council, Theodore sat on a high-backed marble bench, half-leaning on the armrests and smiling, while Mesimus and Herodotus were on the left and right, and the venerable Domitius was allowed to sit on the stairs beside him.

Terenus, who was invited as a guest, stood behind the stairs on both sides, secretly observing the group.

Sibea stood at the front of the three, looking coldly at Theodore, who was sitting on a high place, and the height of the other party made her very uncomfortable, as if she was high up and had to look up, and generously accepted the request.

Although, it's probably the same.

"Is there anything I can do to you, then?" asked Theodore, "or, what is the purpose of your coming to Caesarea?" ”

“............ We are here to ask for your assistance. After hesitating for a long time, Sibea opened her teeth lightly and sighed and said these words: "The Forest of Silence has been attacked by the orcs!"

"They have captured Singar! 10,000 dwarven warriors of Singar have been forced to fight for them against the Noldor! The southern settlements of the Silent Forest are enduring the war, and these savage demons are setting fire to the forest, destroying our land and plants. The female ranger burst out word by word, each of them gritting her teeth: "We hope to join forces with humans to fight the threat of orcs!"

"Fight together, of course it should be!" but ......" Before a happy smile appeared on the girl's face, Theodore interrupted her, "Can you tell me where the elves were when humans were first attacked by orcs?"

"But the original Human Empire did not make a request to the Silent Forest!" the female ranger replied coldly, "And now, it has come time for us to unite, don't you know?!"

"If the Forest of Silence is destroyed, humans will be the next target for the orcs!"

"But I don't think you're going to be destroyed so soon, are you?!You're just trying to borrow the human liliang to minimize your own losses!" Theodore said expressionlessly, sitting up straight, "If you really want help, please lower your posture, elf!"

This damn human!Sibeia gritted her teeth and stared at Theodore viciously, but there was nothing she could do, especially when she was in such a desperate situation!

Keep your demeanor! Keep your demeanor! Silent Forest and his father are still waiting for him to go back!

"You can get friendship from the Silent Forest, and if you encounter the same disaster one day, the Silent Forest will lend a helping hand to your friends!" the female ranger resisted the unhappiness in her heart and said calmly, "And, as far as I know, you have an alliance with Lord Brenus and Lord Urtok, and if they send troops, then you must send them too!"

"I don't think you know enough about the covenant between us!" said Theodore coldly, "Virgil!

"Yes!"

........................

The empty government council, where only Theodore and Terenus were still sitting.

"How does it feel?" asked Theodore with a smile.

"Perfect!" Terenus smiled knowingly, "And, very decent!"

Interpretation: Beer (Western beer is generally summarized as grain wine, so our rice wine and Japanese sake can also be classified as beer), in Rome was regarded as a relatively low-grade drink, mainly for legionnaires and ordinary laborers, of course, it could not appear in the drink of entertaining envoys. This refers to ancient Egyptian beer, a bit like today's porridge, which was sticky and nutritious, and was one of the staple foods of the ancient Egyptians, sometimes with honey as a foil.
