Great Nobleman

Noon the next day.

Guye City, a quaint tree house restaurant.

Under the curious looks from time to time from the nearby elves.

An elf man wearing gorgeous light armor with a young and handsome face was using standard human language to tell Brand various things about the Elf Forest:

“There are many differences between our Elf Forest and your Human Alliance.

Because we don't like fighting, we don't have the concept of a country here.

In other words, our entire Elf Forest is actually a unified country.

Together we support the [Elf Royal Court] that protects the Tree of Life.

But at the same time, as various branches of the Elf Forest, we are also living our own lives in our own territories. "

After a moment of pause, the elf gentleman suddenly remembered something.

Then he quickly said:

"By the way, I forgot to say that!

In terms of race, the elves in our Elf Forest all belong to the large branch of [Forest Elf].

There are also many smaller branches below this big branch.

For example, the [Tree Elves] where our Ancient Leaf City is located, the [King Court Elves] in the central area, etc.

No matter which branch we [Forest Elves] belong to, our appearance is basically the same!

Many outsiders arriving for the first time do not understand these things.

I always thought that the elves of different branches in the Elf Forest have some obvious appearance characteristics.

But in fact, our branch is actually more related to where we live.

It does not represent obvious differences in race or blood.

As for the [Night Elves], [Sea Elves], etc., who are of the same elven race as us, but have quite different bloodlines.

That is another big branch, they do not belong to the [Forest Elves].

They also have smaller branches within them. "

After hearing this explanation, Brand suddenly said:

"I see!

I used to think that the elves in each branch of the Elf Forest had obvious differences in appearance! "

The elf man responded:

“Strictly speaking, there are actually some differences in appearance, but they are not obvious.

The differences between us are more in our clothing and lifestyle.

This is similar to the different living habits of each country in your human alliance. "

Brand smiled and said:

"It's easy to understand. Mr. Rafael is really knowledgeable!"

Hearing Brand's praise, the elf man named Rafael also smiled and said:

"No matter what, I am now 68 years old, although I have not achieved great achievements in various fields.

But after all, I have seen a lot of things either actively or passively.

I once wanted to visit the Kaya Empire and the Human Alliance where chivalry is prevalent.

However, considering the danger of the snowy mountains, I finally gave up the idea.

Unlike you, we elves generally lack the spirit of adventure.

In our opinion, many times it is better to wait patiently than to take risks.

A relatively long lifespan always prevents us from making risky choices.

But accordingly, we often miss many opportunities, and sometimes even make the situation worse.

For example, that continental war in the past faced the undead.

We have suffered considerable losses because of this mentality.

Now, many of our elders are trying to change our mentality to a certain extent. "

Hearing these words from Mr. Rafael.

Brand couldn't help but think deeply.

The length of life does affect the style of doing things, and he also has certain feelings about this.

A war like their Kaya Empire's pioneering war would most likely not happen to the elves.

Compared to spending more than two hundred years and countless sacrifices and losses to open the way to the Endless Sea and open up a broader prospect for the empire.

The elves may choose to stay where they are.

Wait a thousand years.

See if there are any amazing breakthroughs in various fields.

Or maybe see if any "pies" fall into the house.

Then think about the rest!

Judging from the current situation, the surprising "pie" has indeed fallen!

——The Kaya Empire will take the initiative to open up the trade route to the Elf Forest!

Thinking of this, Brand couldn't help but feel that the elf's mentality seemed to have some merit!

Just when I was having some aftertaste.

Brand suddenly thought of a question, and then asked:

"By the way, Mr. Rafael, yesterday I asked Mr. Oster, he said that most members of the Knights of the Wind Eagle don't have any taboos on meat?

The same should be true for Mr. Raphael, right?

A lot of the food Catherine prepared in a while should be meat. "

Hearing this question, Raphael nodded and said:

"After all, we are a warrior profession, and we still need to replenish a lot of energy.

So I usually eat some high-energy foods, such as Warcraft meat.

Mr. Brand is overly worried about this.

In contrast, I am somewhat looking forward to the traditional cuisine of the Kaya Empire. "

As he spoke, he looked into the corner of his field of vision.

Wearing a golden winged cloak, Catherine, who looked like a noble lady, smiled and pushed a dining cart as she slowly approached.

Next to her was an elf man dressed as a chef with a somewhat distressed look on his face.

After seeing this scene, the two of them got closer.

Raphael asked in Elvish:

"Lerith, what's wrong?

Did something go wrong with Lady Catherine's use of the kitchen? "

Hearing this, the elf chef named Lerith walked to Raphael, then shook his head and explained:

“The lady prepared the kitchen utensils and ingredients herself, she just borrowed a place, and there was no problem.

It's just that I don't speak human language, so it's more troublesome to communicate.

Could you please ask me if this lady can teach me some cooking skills?

Also, do you have any intention of selling those condiments?

I can pay magic gold coins in exchange.

I didn't expect that the human league's dietary level would develop so quickly!

Those spices I have never seen before, and the taste of them together are really unforgettable!

Although that is slightly different from the taste of our elves, I have to admit..."

Halfway through his words, the elf chef stopped talking and his eyes unconsciously turned to the table beside him.

At this time, Catherine had placed dishes one after another on the dining table and opened the lids one by one!

The unique aroma of [Holander Family Special Dishes] suddenly spread to the surroundings!

Seeing these exquisite dishes in front of you, dishes are served like works of art!

For a moment, I was surprised.

Raphael quickly understood how the elf chef felt.

Just when I was about to say a few words of praise.

Brand suddenly said:

“Mr. Rafael, these are some family special dishes that I usually eat.

Although it is not as full of natural flavor as the traditional dishes of the Elf Forest.

But I personally think it tastes pretty good, and I don’t know if it suits your elves’ taste. "

After saying this, Brand turned to the elf chef on the side.

He took out a few bottles of condiments, and then spoke in a somewhat stiff Elvish language:

"Hello, Mr. Chef.

If you want some seasoning, I brought some over this time.

Consider it a gift.

In the future, our Chenhualing caravan will also transport seasonings to be sold as merchandise.

If you like it, you can pay attention to it then. "

After taking the condiment bottle handed over by Brand and hearing Brand's words.

The elf chef couldn't help but feel a little happy.

On the sidelines, Brand used Elvish to interact with the Elf chef.

While Raphael was surprised, he suddenly recalled that someone had told him before:

Most of the members of the visiting delegation from the Kaya Empire this time are rich or noble, and have a lot of resources.

And intends to cooperate with them in the commercial field.

Thinking of this, Raphael couldn't help but curiously turned his eyes to the delicious food in front of him!

——According to his guess, this should be one of the products brought by Mr. Brand in front of him!

At this moment, Raphael suddenly felt the gaze coming from nearby was a little fiery.

Immediately afterwards, a woman was dressed exquisitely and had a pretty face.

An elf lady wearing a dark red corset dress and having chestnut curly hair walked over.

She first handed Brand a bouquet of flowers.

Then he said to Brand in Elvish with a smile and slightly red cheeks:

"Hello, handsome gentleman!

Would you like to take a walk together in the ancient leaves city under the moonlight tonight? "
