Chapter 106, Come and See! This Monkey Can Speak Human Language!
PS. Many book friends have given me suggestions, and I also attach great importance to them. I am a person who can read the book review area. I read the chapters and book reviews one by one. Everyone can speak enthusiastically.
PS2. Many people say why the protagonist doesn’t touch the dark elves. I think what I said is obvious. He just wants a maid who can do things from the beginning to the end. At least now he has no idea.
The festival of human beings is not the festival of elves. The New Year's festival of elves will be in mid-January, and there are still some days before their festival. The high elves are not a populous race, so when Ryan appeared in Iftao, he found that This area is incompatible with the festive human atmosphere outside, and it looks very deserted.
The high elves once had an extremely glorious history. Thousands of years ago, the elves were the ruling race of the entire continent. However, due to a series of reasons, they finally collectively retreated to their homeland, Ulthuan (many humans also called it the empty island). ).
It was precisely because of this retreat that a division was formed. Some elves who were unwilling to retreat to Ulthuan chose to stay in the forest on the mainland. They became wood elves. They called themselves Eslai, and those who chose to retreat called themselves high elves. They call themselves Asur.
As for how Druzzi (that is, the dark elves) was split from the middle of Asur, there are many opinions on the human side, and it is generally accepted that it is the statement of the high elves, that is, Malekith, the son of the first Phoenix King, used disgraceful means Wanting to steal the Phoenix King, he murdered the Phoenix King at that time. As a result, Asuryan, the lord of the Phoenix, was aware of the details and punished the insidious Malekith with justice (a lesson from the gods). When the Phoenix King was burned by Asuryan's holy fire, he was seriously injured and fled with his followers. These people became dark elves.
The high elves were once extremely autistic, and only had the lowest level of communication with the human empire. Five hundred years after the establishment of the knight kingdom of Britannia, the high elves realized that there were other people in the old world besides the empire. Another human kingdom?
After thousands of years of desperate wars between the high elves and the dark elves, the population and economy have fallen into a severe recession. The formerly proud high elves had to actively seek contact with the outside world. The current Phoenix King "One Piece" Finnubar Before assuming the throne, he visited the wood elves, Britannia and the human empire successively, and sought opportunities to establish diplomatic relations.
The opportunity came soon. One hundred and fifty years ago, the capital of the human empire was broken by the army of chaos. The savior Ludwig led the remnants of the human army to rise up. He first wrote to the high king of the dwarves at that time, asking him Is the sacred covenant between Charlemagne and the dwarves still valid? Will the dwarves be willing to lend a helping hand when the empire is on the verge of extinction?
Sure enough, the dwarves did not disappoint Ludwig. The dwarf high king personally led the army to join the imperial army.
Under the personal order of the fairy in the lake, the Knight King of Brittania led the army of the dukes and the Knights of the Holy Grail to join Ludwig.
Then, Ludwig waited for an unexpected reinforcement. The High Elf Magister Teclis personally led a team of Hoeth Sword Masters and a High Elf wizard group to join Ludwig's team.
So after the end of the Great Holy War, the high elves and the human empire re-established diplomatic relations and signed a trade contract. Since then, humans and high elves have started trading and have maintained it to this day.
Ryan came to Ifetau today to find Estelle. This half-elf has powerful dark vision and bow and arrow skills, which are exactly the skills necessary to explore the mine. He thought carefully about the reliable remote weapons he could find. There are not many, and it is easy to be opened by a lion if you want to find a spellcaster. Estelle is a more reliable choice.
The architecture of Iftaol follows the characteristics of the high elves, that is, the smooth cylindrical and conical architectural style, with spiers soaring into the sky, and golden, white and blue buildings are arranged in Iftao, except for the gatekeepers. Almost all the high-precision soldiers Ryan saw were half-elf or human figures who came to do business.
True high elves are rare.
When he reached the gate of Iftaul, the high elf guard stretched out his halberd towards him, blocked his way, and then spoke in a strangely pronounced High Gothic language: "Human, tell me who you are and what you are. your intention to come, or show your identity card!"
The high elf in front of him is wearing a peaked feathered helmet, with extremely gorgeous high elf special armor with various patterns on his body, and an armor skirt with iron scales under his body. The whole set of armor is extremely gorgeous, and the pointed feathered helmet is even more noble.
He holds a high-precision halberd engraved with red runes, and carries a large bow behind his back.
Ryan thought for a while, and said in Elvish: "I am Ryan Malcador, the guardian of Marienburg, and I am here to find someone."
"Wait, what did you say?" The elf guard couldn't believe it at first, and then said in elf language to the guard beside him in confusion: "What did this human just say?"
"He... seems to have spoken Elvish? It's pretty standard?" The guard next to him said uncertainly.
"Hey, human, what did you just say? Can you say it again?" The high-spirited guard asked Ryan to say it again.
"I said... I am Ryan Malcador, the guardian of Marienburg, and I am here to find someone." Ryan calmly repeated it again in Elvish, but there were already black spots on his head. Wire.
Even though he was prepared in his heart, Gao Jing's arrogance to the bone still made him very upset, very, very upset.
It's just that high spirits have the ability to be arrogant. Every adult high spirit is at least a strong man with the strength of the elite's elementary level. In addition to being able to possess a variety of skills, every high elf knows at least one or two small spells, and their natural and powerful affinity for magic makes many of them double-time spellcasters.
Therefore, the elves are the darlings of the world, one can do it, and the other can do it, especially the high elves. Their talents and long lifespan make humans envious. They are born rich and handsome in this world.
"Oh my god! Come and see, this human can speak Elvish!" A high-spirited guard shouted loudly, so Ryan almost gathered the eyes of all the high-spirited guards: "Come on! Humans, say a few more words! Say a few words, let's meet again!"
"Yes, yes! Let's meet again!"
"It's so rare to be able to speak such a standard elf language!"
The high-spirited guards surrounded him like animals.
So Ryan stretched out his hand, and a light blue psychic flame emerged from his palm with terrifying power. The Primarch resisted the urge to draw his sword, and continued with black lines all over his head: "Gentlemen? I am here Looking for someone."
Only now did the high elves feel Lion's strength, so the guard at the gate answered him in Elvish language: "Lion Malcador? Are you the one..."
Halfway through the conversation, a group of high elves came out, and the leader was none other than the high elves' ambassador to the Human Empire, Taimarg-den-Carben. He glanced at Ryan curiously, and quickly recognized him, because the ambassador Met Ryan as a member of the House of Lords.
"Isn't this Ryan? May I ask why you came to Iftaul?" Taimag was wearing a set of luxurious high elves silk and satin robes, and came up with a string of Elvish language.
Ryan had no choice but to repeat his intentions again.
"This is simple!" Temag took a piece of parchment from his entourage, then took out a pen and signed a name hastily, stamped a seal with a ring, and threw it to Ryan's hand: "In the future, you don't have to do that." Trouble, this is a pass, with which you can come to Iftaul to visit and shop at any time, but I hope you only use Elvish in the elf territory."
"Okay, then I'll go in and look for someone, Your Excellency Taimag, goodbye." Ryan took the parchment, performed a ritual, and walked towards the interior of Iftao.
"Go, go, have a good time!" The high elf ambassador waved his hand and walked outside with his attendants.
After walking a few steps, Taimag's entourage turned to the high elf ambassador and said, "Is it so easy to give the pass to that human? Your Excellency Taimag?"
"This is a monkey that can fight quite well." Temag's tone was full of indifference: "And it actually knows how to speak human language, so let's give it some face, it's just a pass, it's nothing What a big deal."
"That's right, it's not a big deal." The follower expressed his understanding.
"The big thing now is to arrange ships to send Prince Yelian back to Ulthuan as soon as possible. We have already suffered a fiasco, and we cannot bear another fiasco!"
"clear!"
…………
Ryan quickly found Estelle, and judging from his look, the half-elf hadn't had a good time during this time.
The conditions of the place where he lived were average. Seeing Ryan coming, the half-elf smiled bitterly and said, "Why did the famous human hero come to see me, a half-elf? What's the matter?"
"Yes, I have something to ask you, but it's not suitable to talk about it here, let's talk in another place."
"Okay!" Estelle didn't have any objection.
So he and the half-elf left Iftao directly, and the two came to the shield block and found a bar. Ryan ordered a glass of rum, and Estelle ordered a glass of orange juice: "What's the matter, Ryan? What's the matter? "
The two were sitting in the corner of the bar. It was still morning, and there were not many guests in the bar. Sitting on a wooden table, Ryan raised his glass first: "Don't say anything else, Estelle, Happy Winter Veil Festival .”
"Well, Happy Winter Veil!" The half-elf reluctantly picked up the wine glass, took a sip of orange juice, and then muttered, "Although Winter Veil is not our festival."
"Haha~ How's your time going? I don't think you're feeling well." Ryan picked up the wooden wine glass, expressing his concern for his friend.
"Generally speaking, I can only answer that you are okay, Ryan, can you understand the feeling that the master receives you very politely, but never takes you seriously? I have encountered this situation." Estelle put the cup on the wooden table, his face full of tangles: "Since I came to Iftaul, these high elves confirmed that I am a half-elf, and arranged a place for me, and confiscated I have money, but I can feel the contempt and arrogance in their bones, they just don’t care, they look at me like the illegitimate child of a homeless distant relative, although they will provide me with a place to live, but they still don’t care. Didn't treat me as one of my own."
Estelle's description is very appropriate. For the high spirits, the wood elves are distant relatives who are not very familiar with each other. As a half-elf, Estelle is the illegitimate child of distant relatives. The high spirits will receive him, but It is certain that he will not take him seriously. Estelle is a half-elf who is proud and popular with humans, and he must not adapt to this situation.
"In any case, living in Iftao will definitely save you a lot of money. The room rate in Marienburg is not cheap." Ryan laughed, thinking of the wandering knight Lopes, because of the super high housing price Had to go out often to make money.
"So I thought about it for a long time, and decided to continue living in Iftao. This period of time is the Winter Veil Festival, and the major guilds and many institutions have stopped operating, and I have no work to do. I plan to go to see it in two days. Let's see if there are any tasks that can be accepted." Estelle tidied up her long golden hair, and then got down to business: "So? What do you want from me?"
"I have a mission here, and I want to invite you to form a team." Ryan took out the parchment, and then explained his mission in detail.
"Only you, me, and that paladin named Alfred? Is there no spellcaster?" Estelle knew that this was a dangerous task, and seeing Ryan's plan, there was no spellcaster Go together, just him and a paladin.
There is no doubt about Ryan's strength, but the lack of a spellcaster still makes Estelle hesitate: "So...can you talk about the reward?"
"The reward is 100 gold marks, and the travel expenses are at your own expense. It's a one-off price, and no counter-offer is accepted." Ryan offered a generous price. Under normal circumstances, it would take Estelle more than half a year to acquire earn so much.
"Is there no one else?" Estelle still wanted to fight for it.
"Estelle, we are going to check the situation in the mine, not in the wild. More people are not necessarily good."
"Hmm..." Thinking of the generous reward of 100 gold marks and Ryan, a legendary middle-level powerhouse, Estelle finally nodded: "Okay then, when are we going?"
"A week later." Ryan knew that it would be difficult for Estelle to refuse. The reward of one hundred gold marks was enough to tempt him. He had already agreed on Alfred's side, and the reward was also one hundred gold marks. .
If Estelle still has a chance to earn a hundred gold marks in half a year, then Alfred, a paladin, may not earn that much in a year and a half, and Alfred has no reason not to agree.
"That's it! See you in a week."
"See you in a week!"
Ask for a ticket! Ask for all kinds of tickets! Gao Jing is so arrogant.
