A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1272 Longevity Species Have No Love

"They gathered all the bards in the world to sing praises for the elves.

"They took out a lot of wealth and beauties to reward the bards who flattered the elves the loudest.

" In the early days, bard competitions were held once a year. The generous rewards attracted a large number of bards to participate. Over time, various cultural works about elves were widely spread to human society.

" The bards received the hospitality and benefits of the elves. Therefore, after they went to other places, they would occasionally sing the poems of the elves.

" The power of habit is very scary. Once a habit has been formed, unless the new cognition has a subversive power, it is difficult to change the old concept.

" Just like that, a false image of a perfect race was deeply rooted in people's minds.

" Because the vast majority of humans will never reach the Jade Court or Silver Night City in their lifetime. They can only come into contact with the elven cities in cultural works. Therefore, a small number of them will firmly believe that the elven city they imagine must be perfect.

"These people are the potential victims of the Jade Court Syndrome. I dare to say that if all of them came to this city, the city wall might have collapsed…"

Not long after.

The two of them went down the mountain along the green ropeway on the north side of the hill.

When they reached the ground.

Sure enough, Matthew smelled a faint sense of abnormality.

He glanced at Beanna.

The latter smiled knowingly.

" Follow me. This is the direction of the wind. Let's go to the Prancing Pony Inn. I'll treat you to barbecue."

She brought Matthew to a small path made of wooden logs.

Beanna was nimble, and it was effortless for her to walk on the wooden path.

Matthew also had the ability to do gymnastics, as given by the Equalization Domain, so he could naturally maintain his balance.

On the way, Beanna introduced him to the local customs of Jade Court.

Matthew shook his head after listening.

"Is there nothing good about this city?"

Beanna smiled sheepishly.

"There are still some.

" If you can tolerate a slight odour, then the scenery here is beautiful most of the time.

" And living in this city, the pace is very slow and free. You can sleep alone in the treehouse for three days without anyone coming over to disturb you.

" The elves sleep an average of 10 to 12 hours a day. Not only do they like to sleep, but they also create a sleep competition. The record for second place in this competition is seven months and fifteen days!"

Matthew couldn't help but ask,

"What about the first place?"

Beanna pouted.

"The first place has fallen asleep and died.

"It was only when his corpse was summoned by the Light Melting Pool that the other elves realized this…"

Matthew was silent for a few seconds before he sighed.

"It does sound like the winner can sleep."

They passed through a single-log path.

They climbed a few more wooden ladders and boarded the Thunderbird Express with the help of a friendly half-elf.

Seven to eight minutes later.

The two of them arrived at the front yard of the Prancing Pony Inn.

"It's noon now. The elves are all taking a nap. The elf shops are usually closed.

"This inn is run by humans, but their barbecue techniques and seasoning ratio were learned from the elves. The taste is very authentic…"

Beanna led Matthew into the inn.

Matthew looked around and found that most of the guests in the inn were elves, and several of them were eating barbecue.

The elves were not as elegant as the legends said.

On the contrary.

They were quite rough when they tore the food with their teeth.

It was also during this process.

Only then did Matthew notice that the Wood Elf actually had eight canine teeth.

This meant that the proportion of meat in their diet might be much higher than that of humans!

"You order. I'm fine with anything."

After sitting down.

Matthew ordered.

Beanna didn't decline. After ordering several types of roasted meat, she whispered to Matthew,

" The elves are carnivorous. They have long mastered large-scale breeding techniques. In the central and northern parts of the forest, there are large ranches to satisfy their meat needs.

"But the meat here is very expensive. Ordinary elves can't afford it.

" Some elves would even poach human children to satisfy their carnal desires, but that should have happened a long time ago. The wood elves now probably don't dare to do such a thing."

Matthew held back his disgust and nodded.

Even though he had mentally prepared himself for the Wood Elves 'character before coming here.

However, after learning so much from Beanna that it was completely different from what he knew, he still felt that his worldview was severely impacted.

She seemed to have sensed Matthew's thoughts.

Beanna concluded emotionally,

"Of course, there are good people among the elves, and the proportion is not low.

" But in the self-deprecating words of an elf friend of mine, they were originally a group of monkeys jumping on trees. They carried the curse of the long-lived species without knowing it. After losing their faith, they completely walked down the path of the abyss…"

Matthew didn't comment much on this.

He smiled.

"Friend?

"Is it Tarani?"

Beanna nodded generously.

Matthew suddenly asked,

"How are things between you and her?"

Beanna immediately explained,

"There is nothing.

"My relationship with her is very good and normal. In the past, we didn't exceed the boundaries of friends, and it will stay like that in the future."
