Who told him to rush up there?.
Chapter 223: What I Saw in the Elf Capital
Who is Eli?
That's a real gentleman! The man who poops in the toilet with his face facing outwards!
Not to mention the delicate jade hands, even if the jade feet were stretched out to him, he would lick them... uh, touch them.
Looking at the white silk hand that Wendy handed over, Eli was stunned for just a second, then he reached out and took it in a gentlemanly manner, then held it to his lips and kissed it gently.
Not to mention that he hadn't done his homework before coming here. He had listened to Grand Duke Moko's talk about the customs and habits of the Elf Empire, and he clearly understood the conservatism of the elves. For example, they would absolutely not accept the kiss on the cheek that is popular in many countries. So even though Wendy looked very happy when she saw him again, she didn't rush over to hug him, but just offered him a hand.
Since she handed her hand over, it was natural that she wanted him to kiss her hand instead of her face. One had to say that they were really meticulous in this regard. Even if it was just a kiss on the hand, they had to do it through gloves. It was really conservative to the extreme.
Eli's kiss was very light, just enough. After all, although he and Wendy were familiar with each other, they were not particularly close. A light peck would be enough. Didn't you see that Wendy's little face suddenly turned red?
Hmm? You are blushing like a bubble teapot! Didn't you extend your hand yourself? What's the matter? You don't want to kiss me, you just want to shake my hand?
I still remember the first time I met Eleanor, she was furious when I kissed her hand. I am a half-god, how can I fail twice in the same move? I can't be worse than a Saint Seiya, right?
Facts have proved that although Eli is so powerful, his brain is not very useful due to muscle blockage. When he took a light bite, the people around him, the elves and the druids were all stunned.
Has the envoy forgotten what Grand Duke Moko said? The elves are very conservative. I think even if you can hold their hands, let alone kiss them, it is the highest courtesy for close friends.
In fact, Eli had not forgotten what Grand Duke Moko said, but because he had fought side by side with Wendy many times and traveled together, although they had never had particularly close contact, they had lent hands along the way and had occasional physical contact, so he thought her acceptance level was a little higher.
But now, looking at Wendy's reaction, and the stunned expressions of the other elves and druids, he could probably guess that he might have done something wrong...
"Long time no see, Wendy. It's great that you can come pick me up. Don't just stand there. Take me around your capital."
Although he already realized that he had done something bad, there was no way Eli could take back his words. Seeing that everyone else was still in a daze, he thought for a moment and pretended to be generous. He patted Wendy's shoulder and acted like we were good brothers.
I'm not disrespecting the elves, I'm just more careless, Eli muttered to himself.
Eli's generous pat seemed to bring Wendy's soul back to her body. She looked up at Eli's happy expression, and remembered his brave but reckless performance on the battlefield, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"Yes... yes, you are a guest from afar, I should take you around, please follow me."
Wendy calmed herself down after saying that and led Eli towards the inner part of the imperial capital. It must be said that the elves were calm. In just a moment, she was chatting and laughing with Eli, completely forgetting the embarrassment of the previous few moments.
But just because Wendy forgot doesn't mean that others have forgotten too. The Dawn Empire's envoys are fine. They don't have much contact with the elves. They only know that they are conservative, but they are not particularly clear to what extent they are conservative. Maybe they can indeed have more intimate contact with old acquaintances?
Only Prince Leighton, who often handles diplomatic affairs of various countries, still looked as if he had seen a ghost. He was one of those people who knew very well how conservative the elves were...
There were also several other elven girls who came with Wendy. They were also looking at Eli and Wendy who were chatting happily with surprise. Although this man looked very handsome and was said to be extremely powerful, even slightly stronger than their princess, the girls of the elven tribe had not been married for hundreds of years. Did Wendy want to make an exception?
As for the druids who sent Eli and the others here, they were completely speechless. Even though they were saints and semi-saints, it was the first time in their lives that they saw an elven girl interacting intimately with the opposite sex. They could only say that this allowed the young people to broaden their horizons...
Everyone who was accompanying them here was having wild thoughts, while Eli and Wendy were becoming happier and happier as they chatted. Eli was basically socially phobic when it came to communicating with strange men and wasn't very good at talking, but if he was communicating with pretty girls, he was also socially phobic, the kind of social terrorist.
They walked and talked along the way, and before they knew it, they had arrived within the third ring road of the imperial capital. This was basically the area where the middle and high-level people of the Elf Empire lived. Although it was hard to tell whether the tree houses were luxurious or simple, the breath of life here was stronger, which was probably because the elves living here were stronger.
If you go further and enter the second or even the first ring of the Elf Empire's capital, that's where the royal family of their empire lives. Wendy's home is in the second ring. She is also from a royal family, but she is not a princess, just an ordinary princess.
Of course, she was just taking Eli around the imperial capital and there was no way she could bring him home. It was almost enough to just stop here. The elves didn't have any landmark buildings, not even a commercial street. Apart from the beautiful scenery in the city, this place should be quite boring for humans.
If Eli and the members of the delegation who followed him knew what Wendy was thinking at this moment, they would definitely praise her for being too naive. Apart from anything else, just the countless beauties of all kinds that they met along the way meant that this place would definitely not be boring for them...
Even Eli, who was used to seeing stunningly beautiful girls, felt dazzled in this city. Although most of them except Wendy were not as pretty as his harem, they had the advantage of being large in number and stable in quality. Taking one alone might not be so stunning, but when so many beauties gathered together, the impact was truly terrifying.
And the impact is even stronger when you think that there are no less than 20 million beautiful girls like this in the entire Elf Empire. Compared with the "humanistic customs" of the Elf Empire, the so-called three thousand beauties in the harem are simply dregs.
"You have come a long way, you must be tired, I will take you to the State Guesthouse to rest, the envoys from the continental countries are all arranged there."
Probably thinking that they were tired from strolling around, Wendy planned to settle them down first, let them rest for half a day, and then take them to meet Her Majesty the Queen early tomorrow morning.
No, it's only what time, who wants to rest?
Although it was difficult to say it out loud, no one in the delegation, from the chief envoy Eli to the accompanying guards, wanted to go to the State Guesthouse so early. There were envoys from various countries there, and they were not as pretty as the elven girls on the road. "Ahem, I think it's still early today, why don't you arrange for someone to send them to the State Guesthouse, Wendy? I think I need to learn more about the customs and practices of the Elven Empire. If Her Majesty is free, it would be great if she could meet me today."
Eli just coughed twice, turned around and pointed at his entourage, offering to sell them out in exchange for the chance to continue picking up girls.
After hearing what the envoy said, the imperial delegation was angry but dared not say anything. What a guy who eats alone! If we can't beat you even if we are tied together, we must hit you hard this time!
"Uh... Her Majesty has an important meeting to attend today and has no time to meet with foreign envoys. We have already made arrangements in this regard. Tomorrow morning, we will summon the envoys of the seven countries that have arrived in the imperial capital to meet with her at the same time."
Wendy was stunned for a moment. She was not sure what customs and practices Eli wanted to know. From her understanding of Eli, she knew that he was a bit lustful, but the elf girls were not the girls around him. Even if he liked someone the most, it was impossible for him to get her for free.
But she and Eli had been comrades-in-arms after all, and they got along pretty well at the time. It was not easy for her to reject him too directly, so she could only hint at him tactfully on the grounds that Her Majesty the Queen was not available.
"It's fine to meet you tomorrow, but I'm not tired yet. Please take me to some other places."
It’s not that Eli didn’t understand what Wendy meant, but instead of going to the State Guesthouse early and staring at the old men and women from other countries, it would be better to continue hunting in the Elf Capital while it’s still dark... uh, investigate.
After all, he is now a diplomatic envoy. What's wrong with learning more about the cultural environment of his allies? It's not that he hasn't seen enough young ladies...
"Well... okay, but it's not convenient to take you to the area ahead. I'd better take you to the market in the imperial capital."
Wendy swallowed hard, defeated by Eli's pretended confusion. This man seemed to be the same wherever he was, a little too "assertive".
After that, Wendy took Eli and Lehehe, who followed their Dawn Empire delegation, to "check in" everywhere in the city. They seemed interested in all areas where the elves were active, especially the market she took them to. Although it looked extremely simple and there were no shops, only small stalls one after another, they were extremely excited while shopping there.
The Elf Empire also trades with various countries, mainly importing various kinds of fruits and vegetables that are not produced in the Elf Empire, and exporting fruits and exquisite works of art that are unique to the Elf Empire. Oh, they also produce various kinds of minerals, but they do not sell the ores. Instead, they directly contract the mines to the dwarves, and they sell on their behalf. This is for external parties.
As for internally, the Elf Forest is extremely rich, with extremely high production of various foods, and is completely self-sufficient. If it weren't for the fact that the fruits and vegetables from the outside world have a different flavor and many elves like them very much, they would not need to import anything at all.
Apart from the necessary food, the elves have very low demands in all aspects. They don't like prosperity, are not keen on fame and fortune, and don't need men. If they are not bullied because they are too weak and it is not conducive to fighting against the demons, they may not even pursue powerful strength.
For races like this, their markets still follow the ancient rules of barter. Some elves take out things that they don't need at home, set up a small stall, and wait for an elf with a destiny to exchange them for things they can use.
Although after so many years of foreign trade, the Elf Empire is extremely wealthy, and the "daily wages" distributed to the people of the empire in the past were ridiculously high, any family's storage bracelet or leg ring would contain no less than ten thousand gold coins. If they were taken to other countries on the continent, even the civilians of the Elf Empire could instantly become wealthy women.
But unfortunately, gold coins are the hardest currency outside the Elf Empire, but within the Elf Empire, a gold coin that can support a family of three to live comfortably for a month is not as valuable as a beautiful leaf.
With the elves' living conditions, it can't be said that they can be completely isolated from the world, but it's almost interesting. However, not only does the problem of demon invasion require the elves to contribute, even if there are no demons, the countries on other continents don't want the elves to really hide from the world.
After all, if there were no beautiful and elegant elf beauties in this world, the world would be at least five or six points less colorful.
Under Wendy's guidance, Eli and his companions had a good tour of the Elf Capital. Except for the more central areas which were inconvenient for them to visit, they visited all the other places that could be visited.
The most popular among them is the small elf market, not only because there are the most beautiful elves gathered there, but also because the beautiful elves there do not avoid people.
In other places, one can only catch a glimpse of them when passing by. After all, the elves do not like to interact with outsiders very much. Most people will rush past them when passing by. Only a very small number of elven beauties will stop and cast a slightly curious look at them. They are young elves who have stayed in the Elf Empire for many years and have never gone out. This may be the first time they see humans.
So under Eli's strong request to obey public opinion, Wendy had to take them back to the Elf Market. They said that after strolling around the streets, it was time to go shopping, but although the Elf Market had no clear regulations that it was not open to the public, there were very few outsiders who could actually make deals there.
Among the Dawn Empire's delegation, except for Prince Leighton, almost all of them are new faces. What can they buy here?
Facts proved that Wendy's guess was correct. After these people started talking to the beautiful elf woman who was setting up the stall under the pretext of shopping, no one could impress the proprietress in front of him.
Even the wealthy Prince Charles was the same, because the large amount of gold coins in his hand were useless, and the elf "vendor" who was setting up a stall casually took out ten times the amount of gold coins and let him go...
I am the prince of the Dawn Empire, but I can't even afford a small bracelet made by the elves?
