Encyclopedia of Feanor Continent

Although at present, humans are the race that has developed agriculture the best, but the earliest people who started farming were the elves who did not seem to be farming. They have been living near their residences since ancient times. Plant fruit trees and vegetables.

However, because the elves prefer meat and have a small population, they prefer to preserve the natural appearance of the forest for hunting, and the scale of planting has always been small.Up to now, the elves' rich experience in planting and their understanding of plants are mostly used in gardening. The artificial gardens of the elves are undoubtedly the most beautiful landscapes in the entire continent. -- "Feno Continental Encyclopedia · Humanoid Creatures"

"I can't wait to hear what you've learned about your travels, but first I have something to give you." Inelia handed over the small box she was holding just now.

Avandell took it and opened it. The thing inside looked like a pen, but the shape was not the same as the quill pen commonly used by mages.

Inelia said: "This is a pen specially made by me with the magic material I synthesized. The ink can be directly placed in the pen tube, so that when writing, there is no need to keep stopping the pen like a normal quill. Dipping the ink, hope this helps you with your writing while travelling.”

"Very helpful, thank you." Evandel happily accepted the gift.

"It would be great if it can be useful to you. I have always hoped to travel around like you and see different scenery, but my father doesn't allow me to leave Silver Brook City at all." Inelia pursed her mouth a little aggrieved , the naturally beautiful elf princess made such a cute expression, Evandel comforted her and said: "His Majesty Arlande's love for you is also understandable, after all, he lost several children, you are the one who is left The only heir to your family, your safety must be his greatest concern right now."

"I understand the truth, but I still feel very bored." Inelia looked at the mage with her amber eyes and asked expectantly, "Can you tell me more about the interesting things during the journey, as if Lighten up my boredom, okay?"

Looking at her with such an expression, I am afraid that no normal person can refuse, Evandel smiled and agreed to her: "Observe, Your Royal Highness."

Evandel, who is knowledgeable and talented, of course knows Elven language, but out of respect for the guests, the elves at this banquet were all talking in the common language, and an elf next to him even spoke to Palos: "They really Good match, no?"

The absent-minded Palos took two seconds to realize that the other party was talking to him, so he could only let out a dull "huh", and continued to look at the mage who had a good chat with the elf princess with complicated emotions.

"You are a friend of Evandel, right? This is the first time he brought a friend to visit."

"...That's right." Palos said a little depressed.

The elf didn't notice his unhappiness, and continued to talk: "Then you are really lucky. There are not many humans who are lucky enough to come here. If Avandel can become the princess's husband in the future, you, as his friend, Even if you want to live for a long time, there is no problem."

Another elf refuted his words: "I don't think His Majesty will agree. After all, Princess Inelia is the only heir to the throne. How can she marry an outsider?"

"Our Highness the Princess is self-willed, even His Majesty can't do anything about her, besides, what's wrong with outsiders, it's not the first day you know Avondel, his wisdom and strength, knowledge and character, nothing is worthy of us Princess Inelia? And he has the blood of the Sharku people, so he won't die in a few years like an ordinary human being. No matter how you look at it, he is fully qualified to be the queen's partner. "

"That's right, but what about their offspring? If Avandel becomes the princess's husband, we will have the first half-elf king in history."

An elf interjected: "It is not unheard of in our history that a member of the collateral line of the royal family can inherit the throne."

Another elf said: "But why can Her Royal Highness's own child not inherit the throne? What about the half-elf? The most important thing to govern a kingdom is ability and character, not blood."

The elves in this small circle began to debate about the issue of future heirs, as if the marriage between the mage and the elf princess was already a certainty, Palos couldn't listen anymore, and found an excuse to avoid the crowd and hide in the banquet hall In a nearby corner muffled holly leaves.

The mage didn't know when he came behind Palos, and suddenly said: "The tree is innocent, it will cry if you do this."

Palos, who was absent-minded, was taken aback, and quickly turned around to look at the mage: "Evandel, why are you here?"

"Shouldn't I come?" Evandel asked back with a smile.

"Shouldn't you be with Princess Inelia?"

"His Royal Highness will have someone to accompany her, but my little lover is secretly jealous in the corner. She needs my comfort and company more than Her Royal Highness, doesn't she?"

Looking at the narrow smile on Evandel's face, Palos began to feel ashamed of his petty emotions. He warned himself not to be jealous again. A jealous face is ugly. He was originally an ordinary man with no advantages at all. If Coupled with the love of jealousy, it is even more unlikable.

Palos said a little duplicity: "I'm fine, go back quickly, it's not good for the protagonist of the banquet to just slip away like this."

"It doesn't matter, there are not so many rules for elves' banquets. Let's go, I will take you to the nearby gardens. I have traveled to so many places, and only the gardens in Moonbrook City are the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen." Evan Del took Palos's hand and, like other couples who sneak out on a date at the ball, walked into the garden in the dark.

The banquet of the elves is indeed very free. There are no guards to check the invitations outside, and it doesn't matter what identity or what clothes they wear. Anyone can join the dinner whenever they want, and they don't have to say goodbye to anyone if they want to leave.

So after discovering that Avondel and Palos had left the banquet hall, Alkai, who was not very interested, stood up and walked towards the temporary residence allocated for them to rest.

When he was halfway there, he was stopped by someone.

The general of the elves, Kenathes, had just returned from a patrol mission. She obviously just got the news that Alkai was coming. She hadn't changed out of her military uniform yet, so she rode over on a moose and stood in front of Alkai.

Arkai, whose road was blocked, could only stop and look at her silently.

"Alkay, is it really you? You are finally willing to come back!"

Archie didn't speak.

"You have grown up." Looking at the child he had not seen for a long time, Kenaseth's eyes were a little moist, "You are becoming more and more like your father."

When she heard that Alkai had returned to Silver Brook City again, Kenathes, who was leading a patrol, rushed back immediately. She didn't think about what to say, nor did she think about what attitude Alkai would use after so many years to treat my own mother.

Maybe Alkai would sneer, accuse her of abuse and abandonment, and even get angry at her, but Alkai didn't do anything, just looked at her calmly, like looking at an irrelevant passerby: "Say Is it finished?"

"Alkay...?" Even though Kenathes had prepared for the worst, she never thought that Alkai would have such an attitude. This made her more sad than getting angry at her. Before he could adjust his expression of shock, Alkai had passed her by himself and continued to move forward.

After all, Kenaseth is not such a person who gives up lightly, she pulled the moose and followed Alkai, regardless of whether the child paid attention to it, she continued on her own: "It will be your coming-of-age ceremony soon. Yes, that’s why you came back. Look at me. I didn’t know you were coming. I was unprepared for such an important day. But fortunately, there’s still time. According to the custom, my father should make one for you. Gong, since your father is gone, I can do it for you, it only takes a few days, what kind of material are you used to?"

"I'm not interested." Alkai refused coldly.

"The coming-of-age ceremony is one of the most important festivals in an elf's life. You are my only child, and I will not let your coming-of-age ceremony be inferior to anyone else's."

Alkai didn't speak any more, and closed the door coldly in front of her. Kenaseth seemed to have not heard his rejection at all, and continued to say outside the door: "Just use the black sunken wood, your strength has been stronger than that since you were young. Others are bigger, and the hard bow of black ashwood should be suitable for you."

The elf garden at dusk, the quiet beauty is refreshing, the elves like the natural appearance, they don't clean up the fallen leaves like human parks, and let the red leaves in early autumn spread on the ground like a thick blanket.

Avandell took Palos for a long time, and finally came to a secluded corner where he could see the stream from a distance, brushed off the fallen leaves on the chair and sat down to rest.

Palos didn't speak much all the way, and only occasionally echoed when the mage talked to him, and now he was even quieter, only looking down at the hands they were holding.

From just now, Evandel has been holding his hand, and the two of them walked all the way with their fingers interlocked. For some reason, even though they have done more intimate things, holding hands for a walk still makes Pa Rose's cheeks were hot and he didn't know what to do.

Evandel found that Palos was not listening to him at all, and only focused on the holding hands, so he let him go.

Palos withdrew his hand in a sense of loss, and looked away intently at the distant stream. The two of them seemed to have become the purest comrades-in-arms again in an instant.

"I don't think we can go on like this," Evandel said.

Palos's heart skipped a beat, and he said that this day is finally coming. The little tenderness just now caused by holding hands immediately turned into a cold winter. He waited stiffly for the mage to continue speaking, announcing the end of this unhappy period. A normal relationship, just like what he had rehearsed in his heart countless times before.

"I think we are in love, and we are doing things between couples, but you never seem to treat me as a lover." Evandel turned to look at Palos, "There is always a distance between us Feeling, I thought you would slowly become closer to me as time goes by, but no, the distance between us is getting bigger and bigger, why?"
