The capital of the elves, Granzas.
There are many mountains, lush and green. Although it belongs to the forest landform like the demons, there are still obvious differences in appearance: the trees here are vigorous and lush, exuding a kind of strong vitality. Being in the forest, the air is fresh like buds sprouting in the early morning. After taking a breath, the entire lungs seemed to be a bit unobstructed.
It is precisely because of such a unique environment that the elves can become the longest-lived race besides the upper three.
If there is no trauma, the lifespan of the elves can exceed a thousand years. Although some long-lived demons can reach this level, demons will age, but elves will not. They will always stay in a certain appearance of 18-30 years old, and will not experience the process of aging and fading for life. At the end of its lifespan, it will maintain this state and die without pain, just like falling asleep.
The elves are also the race with the highest average face value. To put it simply, because of their noble and unpolluted bloodlines, almost none of the elves are ugly. No matter men or women, they are all fair-skinned and beautiful, especially the direct royal family is famous for being rich in handsome men and beautiful women. It is a great honor for the nobles to be favored by a certain prince or princess, because it is usually a matter of money, power and sex.
Of course, all of the above are pure-blooded elves.
There are two types of elves, pure blood elves and night elves. The latter is usually called black elves or black dogs because of their brown skin. The number of black-skinned elves actually accounted for the majority of the elves, because the orc invasion thousands of years ago caused a large number of pure-blooded elves to fall into darkness, and the blood of the entire elves was seriously polluted. The Elf King relied on his iron-fisted policy to clean up the polluted blood of the royal family, and at the same time set rules so that most of the night elves could survive, thus maintaining the foundation of the elves.
After thousands of years of evolution, pure-blooded elves have been promoted to the altar, while night elves have been reduced to inferior servants. With a lot of cheap labor, the pure blood elves are no longer engaged in production, no longer participate in wars, but only hold high positions, ordering the night elves to serve them regardless of life and death. And after thousands of years of enslaving education generation after generation, the night elves have always served the pure blood elves as servants, and they are very loyal to the pure blood elves. Even if they endure endless torture and oppression, they rarely resist. Many night elves launched uprisings in the past, but they were soon suppressed by more compatriots loyal to the pure blood elves.
To this day, the core of power of the elves is still in the hands of the elves king and the ministers.
Today's Elf King still sits at the top of the Council Hall as usual, and the ministers sit at the round table. In front of each of them is a bowl of tea soup, which is bright red and crystal clear. While drinking, everyone talked and laughed happily, chatting about some romantic things—
"This tea, called Afterglow Tea, is picked from the cliffs by the river. When the sun goes down, the birds in the forest scatter out, and the black-clad fast boats pass by the blood-colored river, and the sky and the ground are blood-colored. This Waiting for the aura of heaven and earth, it will take five hundred years to grow a clump of afterglow tea."
"The fresh leaves are picked by the most graceful girl with her lips. A clump of Yuhui tea only yields two or three catties of fresh leaves, and less than three taels of tea are dried. Today Mrs. Weng was lucky enough to get a letter of Yuhui tea, and gave it to everyone to try. "
"It's really good tea. It's full of spiritual energy, tastes the fragrance of lips and teeth, like Bodhi empowerment. Rare, rare!"
"Master Cheng, this tea is just a fresh drink. I heard that your piano lady has improved a lot recently. How about inviting everyone to listen to the piano at your place tomorrow?"
"It's easy to handle. The piano girl in my family was also the best in Grand Sass fifty years ago. These years, not only has the skill not been abandoned, but it has become more sophisticated. Like "Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon", "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes" and so on The tune is not only familiar, but also has a special charm when playing. In the past ten years, she has also composed a new tune, which is already seven or eight percent hot, just let her play it for some of you, and listen to some of you too. An expert's opinion. At that time, you are not allowed to hide your secrets?"
"Don't you dare. But when it comes to the music, Mrs. Ming is also an expert. Why don't you let her introduce a few words first?"
"Hey, there's nothing to explain. Since I'm going to Mr. Sheng's house to listen to the music, etiquette is indispensable. I still have a good piano in my hand. I'll give it to the piano lady when I come back. As for the piano head, use The heart of the tree is three inches from Tianxiang wood, and the strings are made of moon silk. This moon silk has three advantages, namely, the sound is pleasant, crisp and continuous, and—”
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard the piercing sound of the teacup falling on the table.
Even the drowsy Elf King on the throne suddenly raised his head, and everyone in the hall looked in one direction.
A male elf slowly stood up on the round table. Unlike other feminine male elves, he has a short beard and looks like a young uncle who is thirty years younger. It was he who knocked the tea cup on purpose just now, which led to the silence in the hall. But now, instead of apologizing, he stood up with a sullen face.
"Today, the battle report from the frontline shows that more than 120,000 night elves died in battle. Although the dragon clan has retreated, there have been no less than twenty night elf uprisings in the past half month."
He stood up, looked at the red tea soup in front of him, and suddenly swung his hands, sweeping the teacup down on the ground, his tone became a little more serious:
"It's already this time, and I haven't heard a single useful speech in this palace. What I've seen and heard are all singing and dancing, what does it look like?!"
One of the elves among the ministers said with a smile:
"Master Cheng, why are you so impatient today? It's not been a day or two since those black skins rebelled. The disease of ringworm and scabies, why are you so angry? Your lords are all here, so there will be a solution."
The male elf called "Cheng" turned his head to look at the elf king, smiled, and said:
"The solution? Sending Her Royal Highness to the Demon Race is your solution?"
The female elf who was interrupted in the middle of the Tanqin talk just now said strangely:
"Master Cheng, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. Her Royal Highness Doris was kidnapped, and the government and the public have long agreed on this point. How did you get here, and it became a gift? Could it be that Master Cheng colluded Demons, planned this kidnapping case?"
Cheng ignored her, but lowered his head and calmly said to the Elf King:
"Dai Lisi's child, the old minister watched her grow up little by little, watched her be knocked unconscious by his trusted guards and gave her to the demons as a bride, and then found out that something happened on the road, the snake pupils turned their faces and refused to recognize anyone, The whereabouts of Her Royal Highness are also unknown. This matter was reported to the Palace of Political Affairs early in the morning... "
Having said that, Cheng turned around abruptly, and roared to the ministers who were sitting leisurely at the round table:
"And you, all of you, are like blind and deaf people, and you don't have a word to say about her fate! Do you think that since Her Royal Highness disappeared, this matter will never be mentioned again, and you can breathe a sigh of relief, Continue to live your happy life? The old minister has tolerated you for a long time! Thousands of years from the orc rebellion, our pure-blood elves have never suffered such humiliation!"
Pointing at the yin-yang female elf, he said viciously:
"Tanqin, you talk clearly and logically. What about state affairs? What do you know? I understand that the status of discussing politics in the palace should not be handed over to you, and you are not worthy to sit in this position! Marrying a princess is indeed It can bring short-term peace, but it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. The hidden dangers of the elves for thousands of years are not outside, but you, the waste of corpses!"
Speaking of this, even the Elf King had to stand up from the throne, yawned, took tea from the handmaid beside him, took a sip, and said:
"Come here, give him another cup of tea. Sincerely, calm down. The secret of the longevity of our elves is not to be angry with others, but to cultivate one's energy. This thousand-mile forest is too beautiful to behold. If you lose your temper here, Wouldn't it be a big spoiler? Apologize, sit back. It's been hundreds of years, so is it necessary to be so merciless?"
Unexpectedly, Cheng waved his sleeves suddenly, his long ears trembled twice, pointed at the Elf King and said:
"If there is no matter of Doris, the old minister can endure it for hundreds of years!... But now I have to say. Your Majesty, the old minister, and you royal family and ministers, we pure-blooded guys have seized the vast majority! Some of the resources, but they only know how to prolong life, only know how to be complacent about castles in the air, and never saw those night elves who sacrificed their lives as human beings from the beginning to the end!"
"My elves, the country was not established thousands of years ago, and now it is dying. Marry five today, marry ten tomorrow, and then have to sleep overnight. One day, sooner or later, marry the princesses clean, this elves will also Just die!"
As soon as the words fell, an elf princess standing behind the king turned pale and trembled.
Her name is Nellos, Doris's older sister. She is almost similar to Doris in appearance, but she doesn't have that domineering posture. She is a very gentle young woman.
Cheng didn't notice the princess's complexion changed, he just sighed and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, I have been ministers in the same palace for hundreds of years, so let's do it for myself. Starting today, the old minister will resign from the status of discussing the affairs of the palace. If Princess Dalisi is still alive, the old minister will search all over the world to find her. If she dies, the old minister I also don’t want to live alone. The glory of the elves must be guarded by someone. The princess of the royal family cannot die alone in another country! When the time comes, the old minister will be buried with her! You guys, enjoy the long years left. When will you think clearly If the foundation of the elves is not above, when will this country have a way out."
After finishing speaking, Cheng stood up and walked out of the hall alone. Without taking a step, he threw one of the precious robes and accessories on the ground, and when he walked out of the hall, he was left with only a thin piece of clothing.
Lord Cheng squinted at the maid standing behind, smiled, and said:
"Come here, clean up this pile of broken porcelain, and serve a new pot of tea... In this world, don't think too much of yourself, the elves will still operate in the same way if anyone is missing. Thousands of years Come here like this, this storm is nothing."
The maids came over with a new pot of tea and added tea to each minister, and there was another round of compliments.
Master Ming drank tea, let out a mouthful of dirty air, recalled the scene where Cheng pointed at his nose and cursed just now, and cursed in a low voice:
"Neuropathy."
Immediately someone smiled and persuaded:
"Hey, don't be angry. Master Ming, you haven't finished talking yet. Apart from the melodious, crisp and continuous sound, what are the advantages of this month's silk?"
"That's right, what's the benefit?"
Seeing so many people staring at him eagerly, Mr. Ming couldn't help being satisfied with his vanity, took a sip of tea, and said slowly:
"Also, there is a kind of ethereal feeling shrouded in moonlight in the music that pops up. The more you listen to it, the purer your heart will be, the anger will disappear, the blood will become colder, and you will be indifferent to the world. It can greatly...prolong your life ah!"
