Based on Douglas's narration, the people of the Blue Sword roughly figured out the basic situation of the city.
Heroes Port is a rather special port city. On the one hand, it is isolated overseas and the ruling power of the mainland cannot extend here, so it has become a natural hiding place for pirates and smugglers.
They usually harassed and plundered the Wood Elf Tribal Alliance and the Highland Dwarf Kingdom along the west coast of the Iberian continent. If the Wood Elves in the south launched a navy to suppress bandits, they would flee to the Dwarf Kingdom in the north; if the Dwarves began to clear out pirates, they would flee to the south.
In case the two tribes join forces to clean up the coastal waters, they will simply move away from the mainland and hide in Hero Port to avoid the limelight temporarily.
On the other hand, the ruler of Angra do not come from a pirate background. The other eight islands nearby are all ruled by a religious priest group called "Tzontlilic", all of whom are Nagas.
Naga, also known as "sea elves", have upper bodies that are very similar to those of elves. They claim to be the ancestors of the elves on land. The ancient Naga ancestors lived near the sea, and some clans began to try to walk on land, eventually evolving into the elves of today.
Of course the elves would never admit this. They said that the Naga were cursed elves. Because they betrayed the elven clan god "Akainwyl", the gods cursed them to grow fish tails. From then on, they were hostile to the creatures on land and could only hide in the dark deep sea.
The so-called hostility, apart from religious exclusivity, is mainly racial discrimination. Although the pirates here don't care about these things (they discriminate against all weak people, regardless of race), the Naga guards in Hero Port still choose to wear robes and hoods, covering themselves up tightly - especially the snake tails on their lower bodies, so everyone mistook them for elves at first.
While listening to Douglas's narration, the girls started discussing on the telepathic communication channel.
Obviously, they had never heard of the Wood Elf Tribal Alliance or the Highland Dwarf Kingdom. Today, there are only three forces in the Iberian Peninsula: the human Kingdom of Aragon-Castia, the invader Hafsgar Undead Kingdom from the southern continent, and the Half-Elf Kingdom of Lusitania.
However, even the half-elves of Lusitania were undoubtedly not the same race as the "wood elves" this man was talking about, because there were several wood elves sitting in the tavern at this time.
Their hair is brown like dead grass and much coarser than human hair. Their irises are emerald green with countless tiny pupils. Their densely packed compound eyes are enough to make anyone with trypophobia scream.
Look at Mier again. Although her hair color, eye color and ears are also very different from those of humans, they are generally in line with human aesthetics.
Under the gaze of the girls, the wood elves could no longer sit still. One of them stood up and looked at Mi'er in the team. After hesitating for a long time, he asked:
"You...are you one of our people?"
"Sally!" The wood elf next to her growled, warning her.
"Sorry." The wood elf named Sally apologized quickly. Just by looking at Mi'er's single-core pupil, you can tell that she is not the same race as the wood elves, but her pointed ears and green irises are indeed somewhat similar.
