Chapter 702 703. Encounter on a ship
There are not many half-elves living in the elf world. This group usually has no voice in the elf world, but they will be discriminated against by mixed-blood elves.
This is a very pathological chain of discrimination...
Half-elves are at the bottom of the discrimination chain. Mixed-blood elves look down on half-elves, and pure-blood elves look down on half-blood elves. But some half-elves don't have that much disgust.
Among the pure-blood elves, the Silver Moon elves felt that they were superior to the other two races because they were born into noble families.
The Dark Moon elves living in the Evernight Forest in the north of the Elf Continent are the most exclusive, while the Wood Elves living around the World Tree in Darnassus are the most tolerant...
The moment Roy boarded the deck of the medium-sized sailboat, he felt some mixed-blood elves scanning him with scrutinizing eyes. He was worried that he would be recognized by the mixed-blood elves. After boarding the ship, he sat on the stern of the medium-sized sailboat and looked at several Seabirds flew back and forth among several medium-sized sailboats, seemingly looking for small bulleye snails in the gaps between the ships.
These seabirds are not afraid of elves at all. When they are tired from flying, they will rest on the railings and masts.
Roy sat in the stern of the boat, a little bored.
Waiting for the tide to rise, medium-sized sailing ships will use the tide to leave the port.
He took out a handful of elf biscuit crumbs from his magic waist bag, pinched a little with his right fingers and reached towards the seabird on the railing.
The seabird looked at Roy with its dripping eyes, then flew over and pecked the food off Roy's fingertips like a dragonfly...
The seabird's move immediately attracted other seabirds to follow suit, and they all flew towards Roy.
There were some active mixed-blood elf children on the deck. They couldn't even find a space to play in the crowded ship. At this time, some children saw Roy surrounded by a group of seabirds, and curiously approached him with an envious look on his face. Looking at the seabirds constantly competing for food in front of Roy.
Several mixed-blood elves were sitting on a bench, with some worn luggage piled at their feet, discussing matters in the Partington plane.
"My sister currently lives in Padstow City in the Partington plane. She wrote to me half a year ago, suggesting that I give up my house and job in Istanbul City and move my family to Partington. Plane life, I was still a little hesitant at the time. Later, many of our mixed-blood elves left Istanbul one after another. There were fewer and fewer mixed-blood elves living there. The wages did not increase, but the workload increased by nearly 10%. Double. Last month I sold my house and furniture in Istanbul to raise enough money to travel to Partington, and then I came to Castleton..."
A mixed-blood elf was talking about his moving process.
In fact, Roy admires such elves very much. They have a house and a job in their original city. Although it is hard work, they are better than stability. They are just dissatisfied with the oppression of the Silver Moon elves and the current situation of life, so they have the courage to give up everything. Taking the family thousands of miles to a completely unfamiliar environment.
Speaking of which, this may be because the elf's body has been flowing with free blood...
They dare to abandon their original things and challenge a new life.
Another mixed-blood elf seemed more worried and anxious. He whispered in a low voice:
"I heard that the population of mixed elves in Padstow City has exceeded one million. Now you can't even find seedlings of magic herbs in Padstow Forest. If you want to collect magic herbs, you have to enter the Blackwater Swamp. Only Advanced herbs can only be found in the depths of the Blackwater Swamp. Do you know what kind of dangers there are in the Blackwater Swamp? Poison-horned black anacondas that are thicker than your waist, and swamp dragon flies that can fly faster than a falcon. These advanced monsters only need If you target us, we may not even be able to run away..."
It is clear that he has some understanding of the Partington plane, but it is not comprehensive and his mood is somewhat negative.
Several mixed-blood elves who didn't know much about the Partington plane suddenly panicked.
"Then what can we do after we go to the Partington plane?"
"In fact, there are many jobs to choose from, but the competition for good jobs is also fierce. Currently, the easiest job to find in the Partington plane is a senior carpenter, and it is best to have experience in building wooden houses..."
A middle-aged mixed-blood elf leaning on the railing introduced the mixed-blood elf in front of him.
Roy turned his head and saw a group of elf guards passing by on the pier, almost all of whom were familiar faces. He was about to come to the side of the ship and wave to them to say hello, but suddenly realized that he was wearing a gauze scarf on his face, so he put his hands away angrily. Come back.
A mixed elf girl stood beside Roy curiously, raising her little face and looking at Roy. She hid her hands behind her back and looked very cute.
Roy smiled and knelt down, stretched out his hand to pinch the girl's smooth face, and asked:
"What's your name?"
"Eileen." The little girl replied timidly.
"The name is nice."
"Are you feeding the birds?" the little girl stared at the half piece of elf cookie in Roy's hand and asked with pursed lips.
Roy blinked and placed half of the elf cookie in the little girl's hand.
"Guess!"
"...No."
The pointed ears of the little elf girl swayed slightly, and her big eyes moved around. She looked weird. She quickly put half of the biscuit into her pocket.
A bell rang on the mast of the medium-sized sailboat. This was the bell before the medium-sized sailboat set sail.
A mixed-blood elf woman stood not far away, staring at Roy with a wary face, making Roy look like a dirty uncle taking a little girl to fish for goldfish.
Roy could only sit on the bench and secretly waved to the little girl...
When the two half-blood elf men came to the half-blood elf woman, the half-blood elf woman had the courage to walk over, grabbed the little girl's arm, then stared at Roy coldly, and reprimanded him:
< br>
"Stop your tricks. If I see you sneaking up on my daughter again, I'll break your legs!" The angry-looking mixed-blood elf woman in front of Roy was speechless.
"Madam, please tell me how I sneaked up on your daughter. I have been sitting here since I got on the boat and haven't even moved. Isn't this a bit excessive?" Roy defended in a low voice.
The mixed-blood elf woman bent down and took out half an elf biscuit from the little girl's pocket, and said angrily: "Didn't you give this to her?"
"What does half an elf biscuit prove?" Roy asked with some confusion.
At this time, many mixed elves were already surrounding the stern of the boat.
"Who would inexplicably give something so expensive to a child they have never met before? I suspect you are a slave trader who specializes in selling children into the human world." The mixed-blood elf woman pointed at Roy and said loudly.
The mixed-blood elves who were watching were immediately in an uproar. At this time, they heard an elf criticizing the crew:
"How come there are slave traders on this ship?"
"Crew, crew!...Drive him off before the ship sets sail." The surrounding area immediately became noisy.
Two elf crewmen squeezed in and began to comfort the half-blood elf lady who was acting a little angry.
"Madam, please calm down and let us understand the situation first."
The two crew members did not take immediate measures against Roy, but turned to Roy and asked:
"Sir, do you have anything to explain?"
At this moment, Roy felt that when trouble came, he really couldn't get rid of it. He pulled the black gauze covering his mouth and nose and said:
"I was just sitting here to rest, and this little girl came over. I said a few words to her and gave her half an elf cookie. That was the process. I didn't initiate a conversation with any elf."
Roy spread his hands to prove his innocence.
"If he is really as innocent as he says, why did he still wear a gauze while riding on the boat? Let's all take a look at his ears. Is it necessary for a human to be so covert when riding on an elven ship?"
The mixed-blood elf lady's voice became louder. Surrounded by a group of mixed-blood elves, she straightened her waist.
At this time the second bell on the ship rang...
……
Go back a few minutes...
After the first departure bell of the medium-sized sailing ship rang, the crew began to busy themselves with the tasks before setting sail.
One of the elf crewmen untied the cable tied to the dock pillar and dragged the wrist-thick cable back with force. Several crew members raised the heavy sail at this time.
There was also wind in the harbor, which soon swelled the sails...
The ship tilted a little under the force of the wind, and the mast beams on the ship even made a creaking sound.
The two crew members at the stern quickly accelerated the winch and pulled up the heavy anchor.
The medium-sized sailboat slowly left the dock...
At this moment, two Silver Moon Elf guards riding white horses rushed over from the port pier. The two Elf guards pointed at the crew on the medium-sized sailboat and shouted:
"What is the destination of this ship?"
"Partington Island!" someone shouted back.
"Hurry to the shore, we have to take a boat to Partington Island." The Silver Moon Elf guard said loudly.
Although the captain was a little reluctant, he did not dare to offend the group of Silver Moon Elf guards, so he asked the crew to lower the sails and throw the cables back to the dock. Everyone worked together to pull the medium-sized sailboat back to the dock.
At this time, a silver carriage hurriedly came from outside the port and stopped in front of the medium-sized sailboat.
Miss Christine stepped out of the carriage, followed by two maids.
The four Silver Moon Elf guards jumped off their horses, handed the reins of their horses to the two companions behind them, and followed Miss Christine to the medium-sized sailboat.
A fair face,
Blue eyes,
Bright red lips,
Smooth blonde hair,
The apricot yellow dress highlights her beautiful figure. Miss Christine's whole body exudes a luxurious atmosphere.
The medium-sized sailboat re-paved the sampan, and Miss Christine, surrounded by six Silver Moon elves, hurried onto the sailboat...
The ship seemed crowded, with half-blood elven civilians everywhere on the deck.
The captain came out from the ship's building. He invited Miss Christine to rest in the captain's cabin, but Miss Christine did not accept the captain's kindness. She went directly to the top of the building along the stairs, in a corner at the end of the roof. inside, occupying a space.
The two maids silently brought out a folding chair and an exquisite small round table, and Miss Christine sat down on the roof of the ship.
Four Silver Moon Elf guards stood beside Miss Christine, blocking the sight of all the elves on the top of the ship.
