The elven capital, Pandalan, is in the farmland a few kilometers ahead.

From a distance, the Elf City is beautiful, like a fairyland on earth, but when you get closer, you find that it has a bit of smoke and smoke, such as the smoke floating up from the buildings, the farmland in the open land in front of the city, and the lop ears in the farmland.

dog.

These lop-eared dogs are not particularly large and can only be regarded as medium to large dogs. Some of them are crawling in the fields, while others are gathered together in small groups.

Don't underestimate them because of their personalities and naive eyes. They are only friendly to humanoid creatures. They are mainly responsible for guarding the fields and are on duty 24 hours a day. Once a group of large herbivores approaches, they will never fight alone.

A few barks of dogs summoned all the surrounding dogs, and they swarmed forward, showing very little martial ethics.

Even when faced with some large extraordinary wild boars, they dare to fight hard, and because they are medium to large dogs, their food intake is not too large, and they are omnivorous and can eat anything.

In addition to being fed a fixed meal a day by the farm owner, at other times, these lop-eared dogs will catch voles and even non-toxic insects to eat, which greatly alleviates the threat of rodents to grains.

In this endless field, never mess with a lop-eared dog. After you beat a lop-eared dog until it runs away, in less than 2 minutes, it will bring hundreds of brothers and destroy all your shoes.

Get rid of.

The elves in this world both farm and hunt, plus the fishing industry in the port, to meet the food consumption of a population of 50 million.

In terms of hunting, hounds are necessary. In terms of farming, because they are close to the hot jungle, it is necessary to prevent herbivorous animals from harming the crops. Therefore, the relationship between the elves and the lop-eared dogs has been domesticated and raised for thousands of years.

Lop-eared dogs eat the least food, do the most work, and are loyal to their owners. This kind of hound is loved by everyone.

Su Xiao was walking on the path among the wheat fields, and there was a lop-eared dog not far away. Its lower body was blocked by the grain-yellow wheat fields. Only the dog's head was exposed. Its expression was particularly serious. It looked around for a long time. It was almost the harvest season.

, it has been a bit stressful recently.

"Bubu? Look how serious he is at work."

Baha spoke teasingly.

"Woof."

Bubu barked at the lop-eared dog in the field, and the lop-eared dog looked this way: "Woof? Woof."

"Woof woof woof..."

The boob dog started communicating with the lop-eared dog? Presumably, the content was, Hello, I am a dog? The other person replied? Hello, me too.

Su Xiao indicated that Bubu could move freely, and there was a high probability that there would be no direct conflict with the elves in the near future.

When Su Xiao walked out of the wheat field, he looked in the direction where Bubu Wang was. Several lop-eared dogs had gathered around Bubu Wang. No matter how he looked, he felt that Bubu was giving a meeting to those lop-eared dogs.

"This~"

Adol wanted to complain, but didn't know what to say for a moment.

Under the guidance of the local Lago, Su Xiao successfully entered the elf capital. Although there were many elf guards at several levels, they would not stop them as long as they were humanoid intelligent creatures.

The hot temperature in the south makes the elves on the street wear cooler clothes. The humid climate makes the skin of the elf girls fair and delicate.

The elf girls passing by on the street make people regain their confidence in the appearance of the elves. After all, when they first see the long-faced Legor, they will make people think, "Holy shit, do elves actually look like this?"

Visual sense.

The exotic architectural styles on both sides of the street allow people to see the elves' pursuit of beauty and refinement.

Su Xiao stopped in front of a street stall and tasted several snacks from the elves. She found that the taste of these snacks was bland, with few spices, spicy or spicy, and was not accepted by the elves.

The khaki square stones on the street are very neat. There are bookstores, restaurants, tailor shops, etc. on the street. There is a steel rail in the center of the street that is over 8 meters wide. Two horned rhinos pull three connected carriages to a stop. This is a public place.

Trains stop at fixed points and cannot get on or off the train, just like buses.

Although the technology of the elves is not advanced, it is not backward either. Electricity has been developed and is mostly used for lighting. In a world with extraordinary power, electricity cannot be developed very well and there are too many energy sources that are better than it.

When Su Xiao passed by a narrow alley, the sound of rapid breathing came from inside. He looked sideways and saw that the elves were more open than he expected.

Baha asked: "Are you elves so open-minded?"

"Of course, but it is said that we were not so enlightened before. Everyone, welcome to Pandalan, the capital of elves."

Legault was accustomed to the scenes in the alleys.

After a while, Su Xiao stopped in front of a street sign and waited for a while. Baha returned, already holding a money bag in his claws.

Opening the purse, Su Xiao estimated that there were hundreds of coins in it. This coin was called "Seer". It was actually a silver coin. It was a few circles larger than a member coin. It felt a bit heavier than silver of the same volume. It should be heavier.

Contains other hedging items.

Compared with precious metals such as gold and blue tin, the elves prefer silver, which represents lightness and purity.

"Seer", which is a silver coin, has a high purchasing power. Next there are "Buma" and "Nashiye", which are crystal and iron coins respectively. The purchasing power is determined based on the size, pattern, and the difference in the numbers above.

.

There are also paper currencies, but they are not as commonly used as expected. Many facilities in the elves can only be used by coin operation, such as the public train that Su Xiao is waiting for.

Ding bell~

The public train stopped, and the bell rang due to the shaking of the carriage. Su Xiao took out two "Nashiye" with a face value of 5 from the money bag and put them into the cash box.

After getting on the public train, about ten seconds later, the vehicle set off. Su Xiao looked at the city map posted inside the opposite carriage. He wanted to go to the Central Park, where the Beginning Tree is. There are three roads from here to the Central Park.

Stand on the ground.

Sitting next to each other, a young elf couple hugged and kissed each other. Opposite them was a homeless man with dull eyes. The homeless man took off his hooded hood with threads, revealing the horny skin on his face, which looked like ugly crocodile skin.

.

Su Xiao found that Lago, who was nearby, did not dare to look at the homeless man opposite. The young couple who had kissed just now also calmed down and sat there silently.

"Friends from outside, welcome to Pandalan."

The homeless man opposite was smiling, because Su Xiao had calmed down at this moment. It was normal for someone to take the initiative to talk to him.

"..."

Su Xiao took out a bottle of wine and threw it to the homeless man opposite.

"A piece of advice to you, generous traveler, don't drink the underground water in the city, unless you want to become like me."

The homeless man opened the bottle with a pop and poured liquor down his throat. This was a man who was about to die.

The public carriage stopped at the stop, and the tramp got up with some difficulty. After taking a few steps, he said again: "Outlander, let me give you another piece of advice. I am not like this because I 'ate' too many red crystals."

Fat, it’s a valve in my brain that can’t be closed, hehehehe, hahaha~”

The tramp got out of the car with a strange smile. Seeing this, both Lago and the young couple heaved a sigh of relief.

"What is red crystal resin?"

After hearing Su Xiao's question, Lago replied: "Red crystal resin is a contraband."

"Hallucinogens?"

"right."

Speaking of this, Lago's eyes wandered briefly.

Su Xiao began to close his eyes and rest his mind. What he saw and heard after entering the Elf City made him feel a little out of place.

In terms of cultural inheritance, the elves were not open to the public in the past. It would not be considered pure if they touched their little hands, but there would never be three people having sex in an alley, or sitting on laps and kissing in a public train.

While Su Xiao was thinking, the public train arrived at the station again, one stop away from the Central Park. Su Xiao chose to get off the bus early.

Not long after, a bookstore came into view. Su Xiao walked into the bookstore. When he walked out, behind him, Lago and Adol were holding a lot of books.

Finding a chair on the street, Su Xiao began to read through the books in his hands. These were books on humanities, history, and personal biographies. What he wanted to understand was the background of the times.

After quickly flipping through dozens of books, Su Xiao learned a lot of information. First of all, the elves were not so open-minded originally. About 150 years ago, the elves still retained the lifelong marriage system.

The so-called life-long marriage means that if either of the men and women is widowed, the other is not allowed to marry a new love. Monogamy was a legal requirement more than 700 years ago. Men who dare to have polygamy or polyandry will be burned at the stake.

, female waterboarding.

All this gradually collapsed more than 700 years ago. The elves first abandoned loyalty, and then the views on love and weddings changed. Nowadays, many elves advocate impending marriage, that is, marriage with a limited number of years.

A more intuitive reflection is that in the past decade or so, the number of people engaged in the meat business in the Elf City has soared, and some of them are not even doing it for money, but just for fun.

And all kinds of wine, especially intoxicating spirits, have become more and more popular among the elves in recent years.

In the past two years, a hallucinogen called red crystalline resin has become popular. If you smoke this artificial extract for a long time, you will have crocodile skin-like horniness on your skin, just like the homeless man you saw before.

The life of the elves has become more luxurious and decadent, which is a qualitative change from their proud and elegant ancestors.

It feels like, as generations pass, the willpower of the elves becomes weaker and weaker, and desire, alcohol, hallucinogens, etc. begin to be taken seriously by them.

As an extraordinary ethnic group that can occupy such a large territory in the south, this is obviously abnormal. Su Xiao estimated that this may be one of the consequences of the elves activating the "talent awakening device" with the power of their souls.

Putting down the last book in her hand, Su Xiao walked along the sidewalk on the street. Adol, who followed him, was full of doubts. If it was her first time entering a place, she must first find a way to contact the official institutions here. Ruzheng|

Mansion, royal family, etc.

In Aido's view, Su Xiao seemed to be wasting time. After arriving in the Elf City, it was like traveling, tasting snacks, experiencing local transportation, and even buying a bunch of biographies? This made Aido

I felt very confused.

In fact, Adol ignored an issue. It is normal for a foreigner to do these things when he comes to the Elf City. If he tries to cling to the powerful when he first comes, he will always be suspected and wary.

Adole had a mistake in her thinking. She was promoted all the way to the eighth level. After entering an unfamiliar area, her instinctive thought was to first become a "wage earner" for the local powerful and then cause trouble.

What Su Xiao did was totally different. He never took the initiative to contact those powerful people. He let those powerful people take the initiative to come to him and tried every means to win over him.
To be continued...
