The legendary path of the abandoned half-elf

Lorenno fought with them to understand one thing. In theory, the speed of elves' improvement is the same as that of humans, or even faster, but now they are lazy by nature and like to enjoy themselves, which is commonly known as "lying flat". In addition, the things they learn are complicated and they have debuffs such as 8-minute heat, so they learn very slowly, and their power can only be activated at the critical moment of the survival of the race.

She wanted to see if the 80-year-old elf was really like this.

"In that case, let Miss Lorenno practice sword practice with you on my behalf."

……

With Ginkgo's consent, Lorenno and the elves walked to the training ground, picked a wooden sword, and compared with the elves. They found that they were indeed weak. The ranger girls could beat them as easily as children. Only the biggest elf boy could persist. a period of time.

While Lorenno was playing with them, Monica was also talking about something with Mr. Ginkgo. The iron ore matter was easily finished this time. He raised his monocle and said: "Miss Maytal, Are you looking for me for more than just this matter?"

"Yes," Monica said frankly, "We are about to start dealing with the Kurian family. Is there anything we need to pay attention to, Mr. Ginkgo?"

"That's good," Ginkgo said without leaking water.

"You can go ahead and do it, as long as you are not afraid of the empire's punishment."

The businessman raised his eyebrows when he received the answer, and took out the magic prop that left a sound: "This is what you said, Mr. Ginkgo~"

"Of course, I said, I will not get involved in this matter."

Seeing that Ginkgo didn't care at all, Monica hesitated: "Mr. Ginkgo, I have a question."

"Please say."

"...You are a noble among the elves, right?"

"That's right, I've never hidden it."

"You really don't care about this Ginkgo City and its current status?" Monica expressed her doubts, "This is a city you built with your own hard work."

"what."

Hearing Monica's question, Ginkgo smiled and said, "So this is the difference between the long-lived species and the short-lived species, Miss Monica."

"I was exiled by the Elf Court because I made a mistake. I will be sentenced to 300 years in prison. When the time comes, I will return to the Elf Kingdom with my children."

"How long did it take me to build Ginkgo City?" Ginkgo said with a smile, "295 years, and I can go home in five years."

"The average lifespan of an elf is 800 years. I am a legend. Although I am not very strong, I am still a legend. I can probably live up to 1200 years. There are things in the elf kingdom that extend life span, and I am definitely qualified to use them."

"How much money did it cost to build Ginkgo City? It wasn't much anyway. It was all paid for by my parents. Then it became prosperous amidst the intrigues of you humans. I just provided protection."

"In my eyes, this city is just an interesting toy I built during my 20 years in prison. Although it is a pity to give it to others, it is just a toy."

As he said this, Ginkgo's eyes deepened: "I'll give you a piece of advice. The Majesty of this great empire probably has the same idea. Otherwise, why do you think the Majesty of the empire would let you guys mess around? She might have sent someone here long ago. Collect this toy."

Chapter 188 Who are the relatives?

"Ah haha," Monica smiled, "Then just take it one step at a time."

The businessman felt that Gingko had probably guessed that he was on the empire's side, and his words were a guarantee that he would not interfere.

After asking the serious questions, the tension between the two disappeared. This legendary elf was surprisingly a very talkative type. Although he still had disdain for other races and lower classes than him, at least he did a good job on the surface.

……

Lorenno once again easily knocked away the wooden sword from the elf boy's hand. He rubbed his wrist and felt unconvinced.

The half-elf threw the wooden sword back to the sword stand and said, "What, do you think it's despicable?"

"Yes, I think..." the elf boy said seriously, "attacking the lower parts is not something a noble should learn."

"This is not what you have to learn," Lorenno corrected, "The reason why I do this is to let you know that not everyone has the aristocratic spirit, even the aristocrats. You have to be careful of them using dirty tricks, all kinds of A dirty trick in the sense of the word.”

As a person with a mature soul, the elf boy understood what Lorenno meant: "...Thank you, Miss Lorenno."

"You're welcome."

The half-elf girl accepted her thanks, and a servant came over and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the master and Miss Monica have finished their discussion. Now you can go to the restaurant to dine."

Lorenno and a group of little guys followed the servants to the restaurant. They asked questions on the way, and the half-elf answered them patiently. After arriving at the restaurant, they sat down at the guest seats. The food on the table was very plain, with only two plates of meat. category, the rest are vegetarian dishes, and they taste very light.

Lorenno, who had no appetite, put down his fork after taking a few bites. Seeing this, Ginkgo also put down the tableware and said softly: "I have something to talk to Miss Lorenno. I wonder if you are willing to move?"

"of course."

Lorenno readily agreed and followed the city lord to the reception room. With his extensive experience in reading people, he could see that the half-elf was a straightforward person, so he asked, "I wonder if Miss Lorenno knows her identity?"

"You mean the royal bloodline?"

"...That's right." Ginkgo thought she didn't know anything, but it turns out she knew she had noble blood.

"I was adopted by a legendary mage who lived in seclusion in Demon Suppressor Town, so I know my origin very well," Lorenno shrugged. "In addition, I am living a pretty good life now, so I am not planning to find my parents. .”

"I see, that would be rude of me."

Ginkgo nodded regretfully. Originally, he thought that bringing back the lost royal bloodline might reduce his five-year sentence. Unfortunately, half-elves are well-known among humans, and their reputation in the empire is also very good. It seems that it is not the case. I am willing to go to the Elf Country with him to have a look.

For half-elves of mixed blood (the other half refers to humans only), each race has different feelings. High elves will have disdain and pity. The disdain is that the blood is contaminated, and the pity is also the same. The issue of blood is not a child It's not their fault, but the fault of their parents. The most radical ones are the drow, who regard half-drow as slaves.

As for the remaining elven races, there is not so much discrimination. The wood elves with the largest population have the least discrimination against half-elves, and then there are various elven subraces with fewer people. They even regard half-elves as their own race. There is no way, people are too If it’s less, you won’t be able to discriminate even if you want to.

This is said, but it is different when it comes to the royal families of various clans. The royal families of the elves of each clan are the same as treasures, and the rare elves

The remaining subspecies are basically the royal family. The wood elves have the most royal bloodline. Even if they are so direct, there are only a few hundred, and the younger ones are even less, about dozens.

It is not easy for elves to get pregnant, especially for the royal family. Therefore, even if they are half-elves, the royal families of various tribes will not leave them alone and will take them back if they are discovered.

Lorenno vaguely remembered the conversations of those people when she was abandoned. She was abandoned regardless of her race, but seemed to be because of her "stand."

Ginkgo rubbed the porcelain cup and stared at Lorenno's face. Lorenno looked a little uncomfortable: "Mr. Ginkgo, what's wrong with me?"

"Nothing, I'm just guessing which clan your elf bloodline is."

"Then you saw it?" Lorenno was also curious. No elf seemed to have seen the white elf's identity before.

"It should be the high elves," he said uncertainly. "After all, half elves cannot inherit the talents of a certain elven race. They can only inherit the talents shared by the entire elven race. In appearance, every elven race has the same talent. Different, but being half-elf diminishes that difference, and I can only guess that you are a high elf.”

Remembering an exception, Ginkgo added: "Oh, except the drow."

The two chatted for a while, and then the valet knocked on the door and came in. Hearing what Ginkgo said, his face changed slightly and he stood up immediately: "Then let's go here today, Miss Lorenno. Please tell Monica that you are welcome. She’ll come again next time.”

"I'll pass it on, thank you for your hospitality."

After sending a few people away, Ginkgo asked the children to go back to their rooms and asked the housekeeper to take care of them. After two men in black walked in, he knelt on one knee and said, "Elder."

"Oster Ginkgo," taking off his black robe, a tall and handsome elf stood in front of Ginkgo, "This is an order from the Elf King's Court. From today on, your exile will be lifted and your status as a noble will be restored."

"Really, Uncle Seamus?!"

Ginkgo looked up instantly, overjoyed.

"Of course, my nephew," the elf smiled, but soon became serious again, "I will take your child back to the royal court, but you still have a mission to stay here for five years."

After hearing this, Ginkgo immediately lowered her head and waited for the verdict. The elf elder continued to explain the situation: "You have to lurk here. If the Federation officially goes to war against the Empire, the Kingdom will give you orders."

"Yes!"

Ginkgo sighed. As he expected, this task was not so easy to accomplish. The Empire and the Elf Kingdom fought once more than 50 years ago. It was that time that made the Kingdom feel the danger, the rising danger of a real human center.

Not a racial problem, but a national problem began to emerge.

The previous Elf Kingdom was basically a backwater, because no one in the main world could defeat them. But after that war, they found that the empire's progress was terrifying. With the Queen, if there is no change, the Elf Kingdom may be in decline. It will really be eaten away in a thousand years.

As for the gods, to put it harshly, as long as the Queen does not carry out any extermination actions, the great Corellon will not care. He has long been dissatisfied with the kingdom that has not made any progress.

In addition, the most important point is that the current growth of believers in the kingdom is very slow, but the growth of the number of elves in the empire far exceeds that of the kingdom. He may really destroy the elven kingdom and let the elves disperse to grow.

Chapter 189

He and Monica returned to the door of the Chamber of Commerce. The noise outside made Lorenno squint his eyes. He stopped the businessman from getting out of the car and asked the driver to stop a little further. The ranger girl rushed out and climbed to the second floor and patted the window to ask the clerk to open it.

"What's going on outside?"

Lorenno asked the clerk. The clerk wiped his sweat and said, "Miss Lorenzo, the thing is like this..."

The people around below are all local blacksmiths in Ginkgo City, and they all bought iron ore and various metals from the Chamber of Commerce. But today they actually said that the iron ore from the Maytal Chamber of Commerce is all low-quality ore, and the iron ore cannot be fisted. Only fine iron less than the size of a finger can be extracted.

"Relax, don't let them come in." Lorenno didn't know anything about these things, so it was better to leave it to Monica to solve it by herself. "There shouldn't be any casualties or conflicts. If you really rush in and let them smash it, as long as it doesn't harm your life, then good."

Anyway, this place is not yours.

The half-elf quietly jumped out of the window and returned to the car to explain the reason to Monica. The business girl showed a slightly cold smile and opened her eyes: "It seems that a certain gentleman or a certain lady can't wait any longer~"

"Do you think it was your sister who did it or Master Kurian who admired you?"

"Who knows, I'm sure there is someone else's spy in my chamber of commerce."

No one can let so many blacksmiths come to find trouble together. The problem must lie in the iron mines. There is no problem with the scattered blacksmiths. I am afraid... someone from the big chamber of commerce will come to visit.

Monica asked the coachman to move the car in front of the Chamber of Commerce. Lorenno and Aisha got out of the car first. When they saw the sign on the carriage, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "The steward of the Maytal Chamber of Commerce is in that car!"

Immediately, the angry blacksmiths turned their guns and looked at the carriage with red eyes, then rushed over and surrounded the carriage.

"Steward! Steward of the Maytal Chamber of Commerce! We want an explanation as to why the iron ore we purchased is all this kind of inferior product among inferior products, waste among waste materials!"

"We want to explain!" "We want to explain!"

Upon seeing this, Lorenno was about to use the wave of murderous intent to make the angry

The crowd was calm and collected, remembering his undetermined charm, and immediately stood on the roof of the car to attract everyone's attention.

After Lorenno, who had been using the assassin's stealth skills to hide himself, was exposed, the blacksmiths realized that the guard was such a cute little girl. His voice gradually dropped. Lorenno took this opportunity to wave and said: "Everyone, regarding your iron ore problem The steward is sorry, she will explain to you now, please give us a chance to speak, please?"

Monica knew it was time to come out. She walked out of the car and said apologetically: "I am very sorry for selling you defective products. I would like to swear to the goddess of wealth that I will replace the defective products of all the blacksmiths present within a month. Double the original product will be returned to you!”

After swearing the oath, the angry people calmed down, and the merchants began to sell miserably, crying and attracting a lot of sympathy. During this period, some people wanted to cause riots again, but they were easily resolved by the insidious and cunning Monica. Instead, many blacksmiths began to express their anger. their doubts.

Those who can be blacksmiths are all professionals, and some have even been adventurers in their youth, so naturally they are not too stupid. One of these people, a well-known dwarf blacksmith, immediately grabbed the guy after discovering that someone was repeatedly causing trouble, and slapped him. He sat down and asked the people next to him: "Does anyone know him?"

"I don't know." "I don't know."

A very unified answer. Even the most dim-witted people have discovered the problem. There are rules in the industry. The blacksmiths in the city are all familiar with each other. They also control the price of iron in the city. No one in this group of people suddenly appears. Guys who don't know clearly have something wrong.

Monica wiped her tears with a handkerchief and waved for Lorenno and Elsa to take down this guy who was muddying the waters. As a representative, the dwarf said: "Ms. Maytal, you must remember your oath, this time. Well, we have something wrong too."

"That's great! Thank you all for helping me find this little guy."

Monica saluted the blacksmiths and specially invited the dwarf blacksmith to ask him for help. After the others left, the businessman asked the ranger girl to transfer the man to the city guardhouse and lock him up until then.

Lorenno returned to the Chamber of Commerce. For the first time, she saw a solemn expression on the businessman's face, and even the smile was gone. There were boxes of iron ore in front of her, and employees and the blacksmith kept looking at the minerals. , finally the dwarf threw away the ore, pointed to a row of boxes and said: "This row of iron ore is all defective, the others are all good."

Monica left the dwarf behind just to ask him to help find out which iron ore was defective. The iron ore left at the Ginkgo City Branch Chamber of Commerce was fine, but the problem was the batch sent two months ago.

The confident businesswoman remained silent, and the coldness on her body became more and more serious, but the smile returned to her face after a while. After saying goodbye to the dwarf, Monica asked her employees to seal the defective iron ore and show it to the blacksmith who came to her door. Prepare double iron ore.

Then she went back upstairs and wrote several letters and gave them to the maid to deliver, her expression becoming more and more cunning.

"So you know who's playing tricks on you?"

"Of course it's my sister," Monica shook the contract she just found. "I signed this contract yesterday before you came. I thought it was a pie, but I didn't expect it to be a trap."

Lorenno leaned over and saw that it stated that a large amount of iron ore needed to be sent to a certain chamber of commerce in Ginkgo City, so he asked: "Isn't it just the inventory quantity?"

"That's right, it's exactly the quantity in stock, and it must be delivered within a week."

Monica smiled and said: "I asked why the Chamber of Commerce was so refreshing this time. It turned out that it was waiting for me here."

"So are you going to catch the mole first or what to do first?"

"Don't worry, I'm sensible. Miss Lorenno just needs to have a good rest and then prepare to help me fend off some unknown people."

Monica didn't expect the half-elf to help with this matter, so it was better to solve it herself.

"OK~."

"By the way," Monica patted her head, "Can people who are sent to the city guardhouse be lynched?"

"What do you think? I don't think it can be used unless his identity can be found."

Lorenno took out chips from the paper bag in Elsa's hand from time to time, and while eating, he was thinking about how to get the magic item that maintains the legendary life. He suddenly stood up to say hello to Monica and left the Chamber of Commerce.

She almost forgot that she had to go outside the city in the evening to get the topographic map of the Kurian family. When she arrived at the place, Kuro had been waiting for a long time and saw her coming and handed over the indestructible paper.

"Sir Lorenno, the terrain here will not be complete. The blank area is a restricted area. It should be the place where the legendary warrior sleeps and maintains his life."

Chapter 190 Plant Vision

Lorenno took the parchment. Since the map was missing the most important part, she decided to take a look tonight.

"Are you going to take away the things on the night of the banquet?" Lorenno emphasized again, fearing that he might remember the wrong time.

"Yes." The black-haired assassin nodded.
