Human beings are actually very special existences in this world.
Because they are not reproductively isolated from any other race.
If you think about it carefully, this is indeed a very wonderful thing.
A troll and an elf cannot have offspring.
But a human, whether with a troll or an elf, can give birth to offspring.
Therefore, some anthropologists have declared based on this-the human race is the chosen race of God!
Regarding this claim, other ethnic groups have expressed that this is complete nonsense.
But no matter what, it is an iron fact that only the human race can combine with any other race.
The descendants of humans and elves are generally called half-elves, the descendants of orcs are generally called half-orcs, the descendants of trolls are generally called half-trolls... and so on.
However, the race that combines the most with the human race in this world is the elves.
After all, elves are more in line with human aesthetics.
As for races such as orcs, trolls, naga, and goblins, except for a few warriors with unique tastes, few people can talk about it...
Therefore, there are very few creatures such as half-orcs and half-trolls.
But there are many half-elves.
They have even formed a new race and established a kingdom.
In the era when the elves retreated into the Huiyue Forest, and the human race dominated the most fertile land in the center of the mainland, and firmly suppressed other races, the Half-Elf Kingdom wisely chose to become a vassal state of the Glorious Empire.
And because it is located between the northern border and the eastern border of the empire, the half-elven kingdom has a long history of friendship with the Saint Hilde family.
Therefore, it is not too strange for them to appear in Winter City.
But at this time, Colin couldn't help but think of what the Duke of St. Hilde had said to him when he left Ice Rock City.
He always felt that the duke seemed to have some ideas about the half-elven kingdom.
Could it be that these half-elves came to Cold Winter City at this time, and it was also the Duke's plan
"That's the Silver Moon Guard of the Half-Elf Kingdom. It seems that there are members of the half-elf royal family in this team."
Hearing Okamoto's words, Colin nodded pretendingly.
In fact, he didn't recognize the badges on the armor of these half-elven guards at all.
After all, he was only the son of a country baron before, and he had never seen the exclusive guard of the half-elf royal family.
And for the half-elf kingdom, there doesn't seem to be much useful information in the memory of his predecessor.
Only the name of the half-elf king and the location of the half-elf king's capital were found from memory.
The rest of the memory is just a bunch of rumors about half-elven beauties...
At this time, the half-elf team had arrived at the gate of the city.
A young and beautiful half-elf came out of the crowd, came to the guards, and handed over a badge and an invitation letter.
The beauty of half elves is well known in this world, otherwise it would be impossible to forcibly hybridize a new race with humans.
This young half-elf looked like he was from a great nobleman. His reserved, haughty, and elegant demeanor was simply the exclusive label for the children of a great nobleman, and it was impossible for ordinary minor nobles to cultivate it.
She was tall and slender, wearing an elegant white robe, with silky silver long hair hanging straight from her head to her waist.
She has amber eyes, a delicate nose, pointy ears, and... an Adam's apple!
Depend on!
Only then did Colin wake up.
This guy is actually a man!
While Colin was still complaining crazily in secret, Okamoto seemed to have recognized the half-elf: "He should be the second prince of the half-elf kingdom, Tupe Mordewin."
"You know him?"
Okamoto shook his head: "I don't know. However, this is actually not difficult to guess."
Colin rolled his eyes, knowing that the troll prince was about to play X again.
However, he just didn't ask "How did you guess that?"
Just don't let this troll get his way!
Okamoto waited for a while, but didn't wait for Colin's question, so he wasn't embarrassed, smiled lightly, and explained to himself:
"Those who are qualified to attend Miss Vera's coming of age ceremony on behalf of the half-elf royal family must be members of the direct line of the Mordiven family, and the current half-elf king has only two sons. The eldest son is already in his forties. not on.
Therefore, it could only be the second prince. "
"Oh." Colin responded lightly.
Colin's indifferent response did not shut up Okamoto, but instead eloquently:
"Your Excellency, Viscount, do you know that Prince Tupe was not born to the half-elf king, but adopted!"
Colin came back with a little interest.
Because he thought that Vera was also the adopted daughter of the Duke.
Could it be that Prince Tupe's life experience also hides some bizarre stories
However, he still ignored Okamoto.
Just don't let you pretend!
But Okamoto seemed determined to pretend: "You may be curious why the half-elf king adopted another son when he had a son."
Colin didn't speak, and continued to hold back.
Okamoto spoke again and continued: "Actually, this is the request of the half-elf queen.
Because, the current half-elf queen was married by the king after the previous queen died!
But at that time, the Half-Elf King was nearly seventy years old!
At such an advanced age, no matter how beautiful the new queen is, he can't let her conceive his child.
Therefore, it is said that in order to make up for the regret of the new queen, the king adopted a child from the new queen's family as the son of the new queen.
This is His Royal Highness the Second Prince Tupe. "
Colin blinked, and had to admire the troll prince beside him for knowing such gossip about the half-elf royal family.
So, this troll still has the capital to pretend to be an X.
Just when Colin was about to inquire about some gossip about the half-elf royal family with Prince Okamoto, the half-elf nobleman had already entered the city.
After seeing Colin's team, he walked straight over.
After some introductions, Colin found that Prince Okamoto's guess was right.
Really the second prince.
After the three of them greeted each other for a while, they walked together to the Lion's Roar Castle on the top of the mountain.
The higher you go, the sparser the buildings and the fewer pedestrians.
Obviously, the people living around Lion's Roar Castle are either rich or noble, and ordinary civilians will never come to this height.
About two hours later, everyone finally arrived in front of Lion's Roar Castle.
The first thing that catches the eye is the huge 50-meter-high golden lion statue standing in front of the castle. The angry and roaring posture gives people a strong visual shock.
This huge castle has five floors inside and outside, arranged in a conical shape, rising layer by layer.
The gate of the castle was open. Apart from the fully armed guards at the gate, there was also an old man dressed as a housekeeper.
After seeing Ke Lin and his party, the old butler walked out the door, bowed slightly, showed an impeccable smile, and said loudly:
"Welcome to Lion's Roar Castle!"
