Human beings are actually a very special existence in this world.
Because they are not reproductively isolated from any other race.
Think about it carefully, this is indeed a very wonderful thing.
A troll and an elf cannot give birth to offspring.
But a human being, whether with a troll or an elf, can give birth to offspring.
Therefore, some anthropologists once claimed on this basis that the human race is the chosen race!
Regarding this claim, other ethnic groups have expressed that this is completely nonsense.
But no matter what, only the human race can be combined with any other race. This is an iron fact.
The offspring of the human race and the elves are generally called half-elves, and the offspring of the orcs are generally called half-orcs, and the offspring of the trolls are generally called half-trolls...and so on.
However, humans have most offspring with elves.
After all, the elves are more in line with human aesthetics.
And for races like orcs, trolls, naga, goblins, except for the warriors with unique tastes, very few people can talk about it...
Therefore, creatures such as half-orcs and half-trolls are very rare.
And half-elves, there are many.
They have even formed a new ethnic group and established a kingdom.
In the era when the elves retreated into the Radiant Moon Forest, the human race dominated the most fertile land in the center of the continent, and firmly suppressed other races, the half-elf kingdom wisely chose to become a subject of the Glorious Empire.
And because it is located between the northern and eastern borders of the empire, the friendship between the half-elf kingdom and the St. Hilde family has a long history.
Therefore, it is not a strange thing that they appear in Winter City.
But at this time Colin couldn't help but remember the words that Duke St. Hilde had said to himself when he left Ice Rock City.
He always felt that the Duke seemed to have some thoughts about the half-elf kingdom.
Could it be that these half-elves came to Winter City at this time as the Duke's plan?
"That is the Silvermoon Guards 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 pretentiously.
In fact, he didn't even recognize the badges on the armor of these half-elf guards.
After all, he was only the son of a Baron before, and he had never seen the exclusive guards of a 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 kingdom were found from memory.
The rest of the memory is just a bunch of rumors about half-elf beauties...
At this time, this half-elf team had arrived at the gate of the city.
A young and beautiful half-elf appeared, came to the guard, 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 with humans to form a new race.
At first glance, this young half-elf was born of a great nobleman. The reserved, arrogant, and elegant demeanor is simply the exclusive label of the son of the great nobleman, and it is impossible for an ordinary little nobleman to be cultivated like that.
She is tall and dressed in an elegant white robe, and her long silver hair, like silk, hangs straight from her head to her waist.
She has a pair of amber eyes, a delicate nose, pointy ears, and... apple knot!
Depend on!
Only then did Colin wake up.
This guy is actually a man!
While Colin was still madly complaining in secret, Okamoto seemed to have recognized the half-elf: "He should be the second prince of the half-elf kingdom, Tupé Medywin. "
"You know him?"
Okamoto shook his head: "I don't know. But it's not hard to guess."
Colin rolled his eyes and knew that the troll prince was ready to pretend to be x again.
However, he didn't ask "How did you guess?"
Just don't let this troll do what he wants!
Okamoto waited for a while, but he didn't wait for Colin's question, but he didn't feel embarrassed. He smiled faintly and explained to himself:
"The one who is qualified to represent the half-elf royal family to attend Ms. Vera's coming-of-age ceremony must be a direct member of the Medywin family. The current half-elf king has only two sons, and the eldest son is over forty years old.
Therefore, it can only be the second prince."
"Oh," Colin responded indifferently.
Colin's indifferent response didn't make Okamoto shut up, but made him even more eloquent:
"Your Excellency, did you know? This Prince Tupé was actually 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.
Is there some bizarre story hidden in this prince Tupé’s life experience?
However, he still has no control over Okamoto.
I just won't let you pretend!
But Okamoto seemed determined to pretend: "You may be curious why the half-elf king adopts another son when he has 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 death of the previous queen!
But by then, the half-elf king was close to seventy years old!
At this age, no matter how beautiful the new queen is, he still has no way to get her to conceive his own child.
Therefore, it is said that in order to make up for the new queen's regret, the king adopted a child from the new queen's family as the new queen's son.
This is His Royal Highness the second prince Tupé. "
Colin blinked and had to admire the troll prince beside him for knowing so much about the gossip of the half-elf royal family.
Therefore, this troll still has the capital to pretend to be x.
Just when Colin was about to inquire about some half-elf royal family gossip with Prince Okamoto, the half-elf nobleman had already entered the city.
He saw Colin's team and walked straight over.
After some introduction, Colin discovered that Prince Okamoto's guess was really right.
It's really the second prince.
The three of them were polite for a while, and then they walked to Lion's Roar on the top of the mountain together.
The higher you go, the sparser the buildings and fewer pedestrians.
Obviously, the people living around Lion's Roar Fort are either rich or noble, and ordinary civilians will never reach this height.
About two hours later, everyone finally came to the front of Lion's Roar Fort.
The first thing that catches the eye is the huge golden lion statue standing at a height of 50 meters 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 one by one.
The gate of the castle was open, and besides the fully armed guards, there was an old man dressed as a housekeeper.
After seeing Colin and his party, the old housekeeper walked out the door, bowed slightly, revealed an impeccable smile, and said loudly:
"Welcome to Lion's Roar!"
