On the Seven Towers

"Does Master Dining mind if a human lives in his home? I heard that most elves don't like humans." Xiao Chen asked as he walked on the elven streets and looked at the curious and repulsive eyes of the elves around him.

"Other elves might do that, but Dinin... won't. As long as you don't be frightened by him, that's fine."

"Huh?" Xiao Chen was a little strange, why did Elena look a little sorry?

Dinin's residence is also under the canopy of the World Tree, not far from the Elf Temple. As a high-level peak mage, his treehouse is very large, with several floors. It occupies the entire top and bottom of a big tree.

When Elena took Xiao Chen to the door of Dining's house, she happened to meet the elf mage returning home from outside.

"Elena!" Dinin is a tall and thin elf with a very handsome face, but unlike other elves who have dark and light green hair, his hair is red. His temper was also very different from the other elves. It seemed as hot as his hair. He seemed very excited when he saw Elena. He rushed up and hugged her, "Great, I heard them say you go before." After training in the human world, I encountered danger. When I learned the news and was about to go find you, there was news that you had been rescued and would continue to stay in the human world. At that time, another news came out. Some things...the elders asked me to solve the problem, but I couldn't go there."

"Wait, wait a minute." Elena pushed Dinin away, blushing, "I'm fine. Isn't it normal to go out to practice for a year or two and not come back?"

"Sorry, I'm a little excited." Dining smiled, "But I'm really happy to see you back. After all, we are children of the same spring."

"This is Dining. He and I are elves who grew up from the World Tree in the same year. Our relationship is like that of human brothers and sisters." Elena introduced to Xiao Chen. Then he said to Dining: "This is Xiao Chen, the high-level mage of the Tower of China. He was the one who rescued me from the slave camp. This time I have something very important to discuss with our Elf Kingdom."

"Let's talk in the house." Dining led them to the door, and the door of the tree house opened automatically.

Dining's house has a typical mage style, with simple decoration style, but there are many bookshelves from the moment you enter the door. Various books are piled haphazardly on the shelves, tables, chairs, and even on the floor in the room.

Similarly, the reception room on the second floor is also a sea of ​​books. Dining waved his hand, and a book flew up from the chair and the floor, forming a square array in groups, and then stacked them on top of each other in the corner.

The three of them sat down in the reception room. Dining looked at Xiao Chen with a critical eye and said: "A high-level mage of this age has good talent. Although he is a little thin, he is in line with the aesthetics of elves. Hmm. , are you Elaina’s suitor or a ‘good friend’?”

Xiao Chen was shocked. Is this a way to be jealous? He said awkwardly: "You misunderstood, I don't have such a relationship with Elena."

"Not even one?" Dinin said with a trace of dissatisfaction in his tone, "Isn't a noble, beautiful and gentle elf like Elena the dream lover of many humans?"

"Of course Miss Elena is good. But, I already have someone I love." Xiao Chen said confused.

"Dining, that's enough. If you keep talking, I'll get angry." Elena said with a dark face.

"Okay, okay." Din Ning still looked up and down at Xiao Chen, "It's just that I feel it's a pity."

"Ignore him! Dinin has always been a staunch supporter of the theory of blood mixing." Elena explained while holding her forehead, "He has always believed that elves and humans are races with their own characteristics. If the two races can be fused, Advantages, the race created is bound to be stronger than the original two."

"So, does he want you and me..." Xiao Chen couldn't laugh or cry.

"Yes, he desperately hopes that I can marry a human. This way he will have new research materials."

Dining put his hand on Xiao Chen's shoulder and said seriously: "This is true, my human brother. You see, elves have long lives but are not enterprising. Humans have short lives but are ambitious. After the two are combined, if a child is born What a great thing it is to have a race with a long life and full of motivation. I can list many more advantages and disadvantages of both sides. If you look carefully, you will find that elves and humans are really two races that are very complementary. The blood mixture is the most perfect. solution."

"But, isn't there a race called half-elf?" Xiao Chen asked. Cole under Kalanda was a half-elf.

"Half-elves are a good race, but most of the half-elves born in the past have problems. Often only some elves with weak strength and ordinary blood will marry humans. But I think that in order to create a powerful race, we should let the strong "The strong man will marry." Dining said in a vowed tone, "So, I will definitely marry a strong human being as my wife."

"Okay, okay, Dinin! Do you know? This is why the elders never let you go to practice." Elena said, "I'm going to the priest's hall right away to ask about the World Tree becoming weak. . Do you know anything about this?”

Speaking of the World Tree, Di Ning's expression also became serious: "As expected, you are the child closest to the World Tree. I guessed that you would find this out. In fact, the elders discovered this problem half a year ago, and they asked me to study this matter. In the past six months, the weakness of the World Tree has become more and more obvious, but we have not made any progress. However, just two weeks ago, the dark elves underground made some discoveries and have reported them to the Elders. You can ask your teacher for the details."

"I am about to go, I hope you can settle Master Xiao Chen." Elena said.

"No problem. I think Master Xiao Chen and I have a lot to talk about, whether it is magic skills or something else." Di Ning showed an excited expression. He seemed to be very interested in a living human high-level mage. "You may not know that it may be a wise choice for you to bring Master Xiao Chen here now. I think the elders may need him."

"What's going on?" Elena asked puzzled.

"The elders are recruiting non-elven masters through secret channels. The requirement is that their strength is high-level." Di Ning turned to Xiao Chen and said, "Sir Xiao Chen, no matter what your purpose is in coming to the Elf Kingdom, this is a good opportunity to build friendship with the elders."
