Chapter 187
Cheng Yu and his five companions followed the mighty crowd and left the strange road.
The elves also have a time-space observation tower.
The pitch-black tower stands on the edge of the sea of chaos, used to observe the abnormal movement of the sea of chaos and the opening time of the strange road.
"What is ahead?"
Cheng Yu looked at the woods ahead and vaguely saw a city.
"This is the territory of the light elves, and ahead is the main city of the light elves - Bretelles."
"Light elves? What is the relationship between the light elves and the goddess of light?" Cheng Yu asked Enzo.
The name of the light elves contains the word "light", which seems to be related to the goddess of light.
"Legend has it that a hair of the goddess of light fell into the world, and the light elves were born from this."
"Really?"
Cheng Yu had heard about the origin of the blood race. During the ancient war of gods, the blood of a god fell on the earth. After countless years, the god's blood gave birth to spiritual wisdom and formed the blood race.
After hearing what Enzo said, the origin of the light elves and the blood race is similar.
"It's just a legend, I don't know whether it's true or not."
Enzo smiled.
After so long, the truth has been buried by history. It may be true or fabricated.
The five people were about to head to Bretelles City, and a burly middle-aged man with white hair came over and blocked the way of Cheng Yu and the other five.
The burly man was more than two meters tall, with broad shoulders, tendons all over his body, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his beard and eyebrows were all white.
He stood in front of Cheng Yu and the other five, and had no intention of getting out of the way.
There was a stalemate for a moment.
Cheng Yu asked, "Uncle, who are you?"
With a little anger on his face, the burly man ignored Cheng Yu, but roared at the drunken Charles, "You only know how to drink and sleep all day, do something serious, Charles!"
The voice was so loud that it hurt Cheng Yu and others' ears.
Charles, who was holding Cheng Yu's clothes, sobered up a little. He looked up at the burly man with surprise in his eyes and said cynically, "Hey, good morning, Ralph."
After a stunned expression, Cheng Yu asked Charles, "Do you know him?"
"Didn't I tell you before? I came to the Holy Kingdom to visit an old friend. This is my old friend, Ralph."
Charles smiled and introduced the burly man to Cheng Yu.
The anger on Ralph's face dissipated, and his tone was a bit arrogant, "I've been waiting for you all morning, come with me."
"Wait a minute, there is a tavern in the main city ahead, let me go to the tavern to have a cup of fruit wine, a specialty of the elves, before leaving."
"Humph~ You should have arrived when the strange road opened last time, but you were four months late."
Ralph was not a good-tempered person. He didn't indulge Charles at all. He walked behind Cheng Yu, picked up Charles like a chicken, and carried Charles on his shoulders.
"Ah~ No~" Charles yelled.
A weak little boy was taken away by a nine-foot-tall burly man.
Some indescribable images emerged in Cheng Yu's mind.
The impatient Ralph walked quickly and carried Charles away quickly.
"That person named Ralph is not human."
At this time, Meiweier next to him said.
"If it's not human, what is it?"
"White dragons, very powerful white dragons, much more powerful than me in my prime."
There are five kinds of dragons on the Celsis continent. The black dragons control the power of darkness, and the white dragons control the power of ice and snow.
"I remember that you were a seventh-level black dragon in your prime. The one named Ralph is much more powerful than you. Could it be a ninth-level white dragon?"
"It's possible."
Dragons are rare. Meiweier didn't expect that she would encounter a dragon stronger than her today.
How many strong people are hiding on this continent?
Cheng Yu knew that Xiaer had an extraordinary origin, so it seemed reasonable that he had a powerful dragon friend.
"Let's go, let's go to the main city of the elves first."
Cheng Yu took Meiwei's little hand.
After hesitating for a while, Meiwei said, "There are not many people here, why are you still holding my hand?"
"You are a slave, I am the master, don't question the master's behavior."
"Damn human scum~"
Meiwei deliberately put on a stinky face, but did not get rid of Cheng Yu's hand, and let Cheng Yu hold her little hand obediently.
The four entered the city of Bretelles.
Light elves can be seen everywhere in this main city of the elves.
With long golden hair, white skin, and long legs, each light elf is very beautiful.
"The fruit wine in Bretelles is very famous. You are new here, you can go and try it." Enzo said.
"Let's go and try it."
Cheng Yu was a little thirsty.
The four of them walked into a tavern and ordered a glass of iced fruit wine, each for fifty copper coins.
Cheng Yu picked up the iced fruit wine and tasted it. It tasted sour and sweet, fragrant and refreshing, and quenched thirst., with a faint smell of alcohol.
This thing is actually low-alcohol fruit wine.
With Cheng Yu's keen taste of full-level cooking skills, he can tell with one sip that this fruit wine is fermented and brewed from thirteen kinds of fruits, and the alcohol content does not exceed ten degrees.
"How is it?" Cheng Yu asked Mei Wei'er.
"It tastes good."
Mei Wei'er held the big cup, raised her head, and drank it all in one gulp.
"In this year's seat competition, I think the Fire Elves have a greater chance of winning."
"The Fire Elves are not very powerful except for their bravery and aggressiveness. We Light Elves are still more powerful."
Just as Cheng Yu was tasting the fruit wine, he heard people at the next table talking about the seat competition.
He lowered his head and whispered to Enzo: "Brother Enzo, what is the seat competition that the next table talked about?"
"You don't know much about the Holy Kingdom."
"Well, I don't know much."
"The Holy Kingdom is composed of six major factions: Light Elves, Dark Elves, Fire Elves, Water Elves, Forest Elves, and Earth Elves. Each faction sends several or more than a dozen people to form the Elf King's Court."
"All decrees issued by the Holy Kingdom need to be voted on by the Elf King's Court. The principle of minority obeys the majority is followed. The more seats you have in the Elf King's Court, the greater your voice."
After listening to Enzo's introduction, Cheng Yu felt that the Holy Kingdom was a bit like the organizational structure of the European Union, and the Elf King's Court was equivalent to the European Parliament. Everyone voted on anything.
"The seat competition is to use the seat of the Elf King's Court as a reward. The younger generation of the six major factions compete together, and the winner can get a seat."
"I see."
It was indeed a wise decision to travel with Enzo and his sister. If you don't understand something, you can ask Enzo directly.
"Which faction has the most seats in the Elf King's Court?" Cheng Yu asked again.
"The Light Elves are the most powerful and have the most seats, occupying thirteen seats."
"Which faction has the least?"
"The Earth Elves have the least, occupying five seats."
"How many seats does the Forest Elves have?"
"Six, second to last among the six major factions."
The Elf King's Court has no king, which is completely different from the three major human empires in the east. Cheng Yu has seen a lot.
A few elves at the next table are still talking about this year's seat competition.
"A gifted genius girl appeared in the Forest Elves. She is already a fourth-level magician at a young age. I think the Forest Elves have a better chance of winning."
"Genius girl? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"The news has only been circulated recently. I just heard about it yesterday."
