Volume 5: Taming the Beast Chapter 5: The Elf with Long Hair (Part 1)
The Supreme God Darimos is fair and strict to the world. Whenever he closes a door for you, he will open a window for you; similarly, when he gives you a pair of glasses, he will also send you a letter.
What? You ask me what the connection is between the two?
As far as I know, the only connection between the two is that Xian Ge Ya Yi just got a pair of glasses, so he got a letter.
Therefore, there is no necessary connection !
This letter was certainly not written to him by our father of the gods who lived in heaven, but by our greedy and beautiful ice magician Feiyin. The Elf Ranger opened his adventure notes, turned to the communication page, and quickly read Feiyin's magic message. Thank God, with the help of "glasses", he no longer had to press his nose flat on the notebook to see the handwriting on it, but this was not necessarily good news for him.
I took the notebook from the pale-faced and wry-smiled Elf Ranger and read the letter Feiyin had written to him:
"Xiao Xianzi, my sister has a job transfer mission that she can't complete. Hurry up and come over to help. I can consider writing off the decimals of the 6,374,216 gold coins you owe me to show my generosity (note: the decimals after ten). In addition, don't forget that you still owe me an 'Eagle's Eye' pendant, four bottles of 'Snow-Melting Dust' potion, a 'Dawn Prophet' staff, a 'Gorgeous Embrace' robe, two 'Honorary Tribute' rings, thirty 'Complete Animal Skins', fifteen bottles of 'Filled Magic Potion'... I have not forgotten these debts, and have recorded them one by one. I hope you can repay them as soon as possible."
In addition to the first line of words, this magic letter of hundreds of words lists hundreds of various items in total, ranging from the legendary artifact used by the last king "Heartbreaker" Darendil to destroy the world, to the inferior goods like "hen feathers" and "dogtail grass" that rot on the streets and not many people are willing to pick up. It can be said that it has everything.
I think that with the great power of our father of the gods in heaven, the Supreme God Darmos, it may not be difficult for him to recreate a world, but it is really not an easy task for him to find all the items listed on this list in the world he created.
Rather than saying that this text is a letter asking for help, I feel that it is more like a bill asking for payment - of course, only in this way can it be consistent with the incomparable unique temperament and personal charm of our magician friend.
It must be an honor for a friend to think of you when he needs help and to seek your help so eagerly. Xian Ge Yayi, who received this honor, was so happy that his face turned pale, and his forehead was covered with sweat because of the display of friendship - I have rarely seen people express their excitement and joy in this way.
At Xian Ge Ya Yi's strong request, I had to accompany him to find Fei Yin. The reason why he brought me along was that he had to explain to his creditors how the money in his purse turned into many ores, which were then refined and polished continuously, and finally turned into the two huge lenses on his face, and I was his most reliable witness.
Soon, we got off the carriage and stepped onto the streets of Yuexi City.
Moonbrook City is located on the east side of the Gem Flower Plain. It is a town belonging to the elves. Here, you can't see a house made of bricks and stones. All the buildings are naturally grown by various trees, shrubs and vines. The exquisite aesthetics and delicate creativity of the goddess of nature, Nachnia, are greatly demonstrated in this town: those seemingly thick and heavy branches grow in a unique way here, outlining soft city lines; branches and vines are woven together to cover the eaves and walls that block wind and rain; lush vines dot the walls, swaying in the wind, which is very interesting.
It was midnight when we arrived here. The silver moonlight seeped down from the tops of the towering trees, reflecting on the swaying leaves, rippling thousands of waves, as if the whole town was dancing silently, like a dream.
Even the most exquisite human buildings are as rough as a piece of dirty mud when compared with the simplest hut here; no matter how elegant and graceful the reliefs and statues are, they become dull and vulgar in front of any small leaf sprinkled with silver moons. Nature seems to be sneering at its poor imitators in this way, contrasting the clumsiness of human carving with its own natural dexterity. The "art" that the so-called "intelligent race" relishes in front of this lively miracle is completely defeated and not worth a sneer.
Being blessed by the goddess of nature and living in such a unique environment, it is no wonder that the elves dare to confidently declare that they are the most noble and elegant race on the continent of Falvi.
"Xiao Xianzi, over here!" Under the tree of life in the center of Yuexi City, the pretty ice magician Feiyin called out to Xian Ge Yayi loudly while waving her hands frequently. She was wearing a blue-purple robe with exquisite patterns woven with shining silver threads, and the short-handled magic staff in her hand was inlaid with a moon-blue crystal, which faintly exuded a chilling air. Compared to the first time I met her, our magician friend was dressed more gorgeously and her temperament was much more elegant.
Hearing her voice, Xiange Yayi couldn't help shivering. He shrank his neck, forced a stiff and flattering smile on his face, tugged at my sleeve, and walked over with difficulty.
"Oh, my most beautiful, kind, good, and generous Miss Feiyin, I am honored to be able to serve you and do my best. I dare not delay for a moment and will rush to you in the carriage as quickly as possible."
"Carriage?" This common noun touched Feiyin's sensitive nerves. She frowned slightly. "You actually came here in a carriage. It's shameful, too shameful. It costs twenty-seven silver coins to take a carriage from Campnavia to Yuexi City. This money is enough to buy two bottles of high-efficiency life potions, or four bottles of ordinary magic potions, nine complete wolf skins, thirty bundles of grass fruits, and seventy-two pieces of wild boar meat. If these twenty-seven silver coins are lent out at high interest rates, it will only take twenty years to turn them into eighteen gold coins. Eighteen gold coins! How many years of life potions can be consumed in exchange? Which half of your buttocks is worth nine gold coins? You actually dared to owe me a debt and take a carriage. Extravagant! Debauched! Wasteful! As a punishment, this account will be recorded on your head. Remember, you owe me another eighteen gold coins."
As soon as he said the first sentence, he was already in debt of eighteen gold coins. At first, I was surprised how Xian Ge Yayi could have such a huge debt, but now what I can’t understand is: he has known Fei Yin for such a long time, how could the debt he owed be “so little”?
It seems that Xian Ge Yayi is used to this kind of thing. He wisely did not make any rebuttal, wiped the cold sweat from the back of his head, turned around and walked behind me, and pushed me in front of Feiyin: "Please allow me to bring your old friend, our brave and strong warrior, Mr. Jeffreys Kidd, without permission."
