Chronicle of the Elf Realm

The corridor leading to the banquet hall is paved with a gorgeous red wool carpet. The milky white stone walls on both sides are not decorated in any way, but a painting with a gilded frame will appear at a distance. These paintings were all created by the artistically talented elves in the long history of the Aqua Tribe. They were all purchased by the Basil family, which has great power and wealth, and were hung here to decorate the palace.

The platinum-trimmed door of the tall banquet hall was opened, and a pair of chainmail elf soldiers stood on both sides.

Entering the banquet hall, the floor is actually paved with glass. Under the glass, the magnificent Dolomite Mountains are reflected. Larch trees cover the entire mountain range. In the banquet hall, as long as you lower your head and look down, you will feel like you are standing on an overlook. From an angle, you can look at the % realistic natural scenery of the mountains created by the magic of landscape projection, and the entire banquet hall is filled with an extraordinarily peaceful atmosphere.

The style of the banquet hall is different from those of lounges, but pursues the ultimate spiritual feeling. After all, those water tribe nobles are already accustomed to luxury, so naturally they need something different to keep them from getting bored.

The original milky white stone walls were replaced by internally heated white clay walls, the ceiling is paved with exposed wood, and the entire hall is open.

The rows of long tables in the hall are covered with white water-like tablecloths fixed by spells. On them are gorgeous silver-inlaid candlesticks with long white candles arranged at a certain distance. Bright flames are dancing on the candles. The carved food plates are placed in an orderly manner.

The dishes on the silver platter range from stews to strudels, from Iberian ham to apple tarts, from cold roasted leg of lamb to lemon steak, and all kinds of exquisite flavors are available.

It was dinner time, and the palace's banquet hall had already gathered the noble elves and senators. Among the hosts, the elf waiters in white suits and black bow ties were walking around holding silver dinner plates.

Hillisant held a red wine glass in his right hand and was talking to the elders around him very comfortably.

The noble elves, large and small, chatted with each other, with elegant manners and appropriate language.

From Sijia's perspective, most of their clothes are very similar to those of European aristocrats from centuries past, but there are also modern suits, which look like a century-old fashion show.

There is a nobleman with dark green hair turned up. He has a cloak with a ruby ​​embedded pin on his chest. The cloak is made of dark green cotton with scattered red flowers embroidered on it. The inner part is an orange-red knee-length robe with yellow edges. Wearing a dressy belt, blue tights on the lower body, round hoop-shaped brown knee pads similar to leggings, and white jade rings on the ankles.

The other aristocrat is wearing a gray-green wide lapel collar shawl sleeve knee-length coat, a white hard-collar shirt underneath with a blue-gray narrow tie, a khaki wide lapel vest on the outside, and a dark gray long top. His lower body is gray and blue. He was wearing long, narrow trousers and a tall hat that had just been taken off by hands covered with white leather gloves. He must have just arrived.

A silver-gray curly-haired aristocrat caught Si Jia's attention. He was wearing a silver-white scarf tied with a bow, an open high-collar striped coat with blue-purple stripes and yellow stripes, a red short vest with yellow edges and yellow buttons that was very close-fitting, and a black stripe underneath. Velvet trousers, he remembered, seemed to resemble the French gentleman he had seen in a book before.

There are also some who don't seem to be nobles, like high-ranking officials in the army.

There is an elf wearing a silver-white metal helmet with a visor decorated with red phoenix feathers on his waist. He has a soft armor on the inside and a silver-white metal armor on the outside. The same silver-white metal kneepads are buckled at the knees, and he wears a double-leather belt with a sword. At the waist, a long sword is tied to one side. If he hadn't just seen the Imperial Guards outside the banquet hall, Si Jia would have been blinded by the sight. Good guy, this is complete war equipment, but it's cool enough.

Some other high-ranking military officials are also in the same formation, except that some of the armors are made of different metals. Some senior officials remove their armors to reveal tight-fitting leather clothes underneath, or wear various velvet windbags, probably for this atmosphere. You don’t have to be so serious. After all, wearing armor and wandering around the banquet hall is not very suitable. But some elves don't care, so Si Jia can see that cool dress.

However, basically all elves are male, which makes Si Jia feel very boring. He can't keep looking at them, although no human being is as lucky as Si Jia to witness this century's clothing show.

But Si Jia really never dreamed that he would come to such a place. If this kind of palace banquet were in the human world, there would probably be only a few places on earth. To be honest, he has always longed for the British royal family. He seemed very dignified, and I always wanted to catch him on the spot, even though his English was terrible.

"Alas, it's really luxurious." Sijia secretly sighed.

In fact, apart from being non-technical, the elven world is no different from the human world, and it also combines things that humans have experienced for centuries. Its control is extraordinary, but its slavery system is far inferior to the modern human system. This is how power comes from strength. Thinking of this, Sijia sighed helplessly.

But now that you have come, you probably won't be able to go back. Then you have to get used to the system of other people's territory. Si Jia still understands the saying that people have to bow their heads when they are under the roof.

"You're here."

Ayako's hair was deliberately pulled up, and there was a faint trace of makeup on the corners of her eyebrows. She was wearing an open long-sleeved gold and black embroidered robe. The transparent collar was dotted with a few diamonds. She looked extremely beautiful, but there was no Outline her perfect figure.

"Um"

Sika didn't expect to meet Ayako in this place. He had obviously experienced such an embarrassing thing not long ago. He stayed where he was, speechless and couldn't think of what to say.

"Let me help you lead the way." Ayako made a gesture of invitation, half-lifting her skirt with one hand.

Sika remained silent and followed Ayako.

"Your Highness, please forget what happened before." Ayako lowered her voice and said quietly, as if pleading.

"Well, don't worry." Sijia breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"Tonight is a special palace banquet. There will be elders coming to announce the matter later. Your Highness, don't be too nervous. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. My name is Ayako." Ayako smiled at the visitor. He told Si Jia carefully with his mouth shape, taking care of both sides perfectly.

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you, Ayako." Sika smiled habitually and touched the back of his head.

"By the way, don't call me Your Highness, my name is Lei, just call me by my name."

Suddenly remembering something, Siga moved closer to Ayako and lowered his voice.

Although I don’t know why, it feels a bit strange that in a place like this, you have to lower your voice to speak, Sijia thought to himself.

Sijia said that he didn’t understand a lot about everything that was going on. After all, who told him that he had no idea about the etiquette and rules of the palace? After all, who knew that he would suddenly become a guest of the palace and even participate in a palace game? banquet

Si Jia originally didn't want to come, but thinking that maybe this was a good opportunity to leave, he agreed. As for what he will announce next, it probably has nothing to do with him. He doesn't care anyway.

"Your Highness, this is against the rules." Ayako lowered her voice.

"Alas, just listen to me. It's weird, people call me Your Highness, Your Highness." While Siga was still whispering to Ayako, a sweet cry suddenly came from in front of him, making him turn his head.

"Brother Lei"

Haiya's small and exquisite pink dress highlighted her fair skin, her neckline was slightly open, and her hair spread out in waves. Her whole body was full of ultimate temptation, and she smiled sweetly at him. .

Sijia's Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, swallowed, and looked over. He was wearing a black tuxedo, a black tie, slim trousers covering his strong long legs, revealing a white short vest, and raising his hair high. Hex, with his comb combed, although his expression is stiff and frozen, in the human world, he is an iceberg handsome man.

Hex glanced at Sijia indifferently, with anger, annoyance and disdain in his eyes.

Sijia was slightly shocked by Hex's eyes, feeling that he was not very welcome, but the emotion was so fleeting that he felt that he had seen it wrong.

"Oh, Haiya." Si Jia forgot about the situation he was in for a moment, waved happily, and returned his attention to Haiya. This move attracted the sideways glances of many noble elves.

They all held the champagne glasses in their hands and whispered to the elves beside them. The content was probably about Si Jia's identity. For a while, the venue was filled with whispers.

"Your Highness, don't be too ostentatious." Ayako reminded quickly in a low voice.

"Ah" This was considered a swagger. Sijia was stunned.

"In the palace, except for the privileges of the princess, no one else has the right to disobey the palace etiquette. Your Highness just did this and it will easily attract the attention of other nobles. Your Highness, you must maintain your noble demeanor at all times, and your Highness shouted loudly Princess Basil's name will obviously reveal your relationship to other elves present, which is not good." Ayako explained patiently, but her face showed no expression, only her lips moved very inconspicuously.

"Okay, then I understand." Let me go, this palace is too strict. Si Jia was angry and dissatisfied.

Fortunately, the civilization here is very similar to the human world. Otherwise, Si Jia would have felt like Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden and just made jokes because she didn't understand anything. It seems that suits here are called "tailoredsuits", but whatever, I think suits are anyway. It sounds nice, but if he studied English well, he would probably know that this is actually one of the languages ​​of his human world.

Sijia struggled silently for a while, but said nothing. There was nothing he could do about it.

"Brother Lei, you look so handsome tonight." Haiya's sea-blue eyes showed surprise and praise, and her tone was gentle like a little sister meeting her big brother.

Hex's body stiffened without any trace.

A dark blue suit, a white hard-collar shirt, and dark trousers outline a slender figure. His hair is slightly raised, and his charming sea-blue eyes are exposed to the air. In fact, what Si Jia wears is simply the most ordinary. Although the maids brought out a bunch of dazzling and valuable clothes, Si Jia, who had never worn a suit before, insisted on choosing this lowest-grade one because he wanted to experience his white-collar suit addiction.

But there were two more white jade rings on his ankles. Si Jia himself felt strange. He couldn't remember when they were there, so he had to give it up, so he didn't remember his slippers or the missing ones. The watch was missing, so I had to do as the Romans do, barefoot.

Fortunately, the floor was covered with plush carpets instead of cold marble, so it was okay to go barefoot.

Si Jia smiled sheepishly, this was the first time someone praised him haha.

"You are also very beautiful." Sijia returned the greeting, bowing slightly, as graceful as a gentleman.

A flash of joy flashed across Haiya's eyes.

Immediately, the two chatted one by one, leaving Ayako and Hex standing aside silently without saying a word.

After a long time, Haiya left first, leaving Ayako and Sika alone.

Sijia turned his head, looked at those rare dishes, smiled happily, and started eating like crazy, regardless of image. At this time, only eating can be considered as truly living, living in the moment, Sijia sighed silently in his heart, his mouth not stopping for a moment.

The dinner lasted for a full two hours, and it was almost at the end that Mount Highrise appeared.
