As for the appearance of the Tove investigator, it was not that important to Xia Duo. Although the other party was a moon elf that he was relatively acceptable, it was nothing more.
Compared to the identity of the other party, appearance factors are almost negligible.
When Chateau entered the courtyard and cast a glance at the Comanso investigator, he also felt that the other party agreed with a glance.
It's just that the gaze gave him the feeling that it was much more peaceful than the "condescending" he had expected before coming, which also made Xia Duo change his attitude of preparation at the beginning.
He calmly came to Tove reluctantly, gave a standard meeting ceremony between elves of the same generation, and then spoke:
"I heard that a guest from Comanso came to the territory. I saw Ms. Tove at the moment, and I knew what a distinguished guest. The Moon Crown family will have someone to succeed in the next thousand years!"
Tove couldn't comment on such compliments, but she was still very satisfied with Chateau's attitude, and saw her gracefully plucking a flower from a plant that had just grown.
He held it in front of Xia Duo with both hands, and said in a playful tone:
"You are Iolum's new student-Chateau?"
"it's me."
Chateau picked up the flowers that Tove had sent, pinned it to her ear, and said humbly, "Has Ms. Tove also heard of my shallow reputation in Comanso?"
Unexpectedly, this caused Tove to chuckle. "If your reputation is also shallow, then the entire Netheril will not be called deep."
After that, she changed the conversation, "Lord Chateau, your Elvish language is very good, but it lacks a little natural flavor."
Xia Duo speaks the standard Elvish language, which is similar to the standard Mandarin in his hometown. When the elves speak Elvish, they always bring various accents, change their pitch, and even use some special rhetoric.
Form an exclusive language with very personal characteristics.
In Netheril, interpreting Elvish language is a very professional technique. However, being able to communicate normally with elves is already better than most humans.
Xia Duo was very proficient in elven language, at least it would not be what it is now. He could clearly understand the emotions and metaphors of Tove when he said that.
This was intentional, and he hoped that in Tove's conversation, the other party would expose more information beyond the literal meaning.
And he did gain something.
Looking at Tove’s slightly regretful expression, Xia Duo sighed: "Human life is very short, far inferior to the elves of longevity species. We humans are more inclined to pragmatism and can learn this very good new language inside. I am already very satisfied."
Hearing Xia Duo's words, Tove's eyes lit up, emitting a slightly enchanting light, and his whole body seemed to become brighter, "So, Lord Xia Duo longs for the elf culture?"
"I can't talk about yearning, it's more out of the idea of understanding the neighbors around you." Xia Duo replied slightly coldly.
To understand only from the inside, although this statement reveals alienation, it also conveys the meaning of yearning. If it is used in the exclusive Elvish language that combines personal emotions and personal information, many things cannot be concealed or hidden.
But Tove didn't seem to care about this. Instead, he showed a look that he only knew now, and said in surprise:
"Almost forgot, Lord Xia Duo, you are an Oriental, different from the average colorist."
In these words, Xia Duo heard arrogance and respect, and even more hidden temptations, to test his attitude towards Netheril.
But Xia Duo just didn't understand, and followed the other party's words and said, "Has Ms. Tove seen other Orientals?"
"Of course I have seen that. At present, there are at least tens of thousands of Orientals living in Comanso. Many of them are engaged in art-related occupations. They are highly respected in Comanso and the entire world of elves."
It turns out that a large group of "comrades" have already laid the groundwork for themselves in advance.
However, Chateau did not take Tove's words completely seriously. "There are Orientals who are respected in the elven society" and "the Orientals are respected in the elven society" are completely different things.
He didn't quite understand what was happening on the main plane, but on the projection plane, he saw many Orientals who were engaged in the planting industry that even the elves despised, and accompanied by druids, almost reduced to the bottom of society.
The few Orientals who have gained respect from the elven society do not represent the whole as a whole.
Orientals are also humans, and there is a natural gap between them and elves. In fact, in the eyes of many elves, the Orientals are more like high-end pets with their own legendary aura.
The respect they get does not come from the skill itself, but from the "master" behind them, and the mysterious ancient eastern country that has not yet been discovered.
Chateau didn't know Tove's true attitude towards Orientals, but just from the current exchanges with the other party, maybe there is goodwill and respect, but that's all, whether the acting has to say something else!
Even if it is true, I respect you, but it does not prevent me from killing you when there is a conflict between the two sides!
When it comes to the grand narrative of country and race, the warmth shown by individuals always seems very funny.
…
Xia Duo did not expose Tove's hypocritical warmth. In order to obtain more potential information unintentionally revealed from the language, he would patiently continue the conversation.
"Ms. Tove, do you know Master Mu Yan?"
"Of course I know! Master Mu Yan has been in and out of the palace many times to perform in front of King Mian, but unfortunately I only watched his performance, UU reading www.uukanshu.com and it is not his most famous "Epic of Summer". !"
("Daxia" in Elvish language is not the same word as Daxialing's "Daxia". The former is the name of the hometown translated by Mu Yan, and the latter is a word from Elvish, which sounds similar to Chinese. "Daxia" in Chinese, means "a place for the brave to open up".)
After Tove finished speaking, he hummed a little tune that was obviously not in the style of elves. Tove hummed the long and long singing voice with a light and delicate voice. Although it was slightly frivolous, it was also unique. Some flavor.
As a human being, Xia Duo just listened quietly, but Oripus, who was also an elf, forgot that Tove was humming at the moment with an extraordinary identity, and he hummed in harmony.
Is this going to have a concert?
Xia Duo complained in his heart, but he didn't stop him.
With the addition of Orips, the originally slightly frivolous tune quickly became thicker. Even Chateau, a person who does not have a high appreciation for songs, feels that he is surrounded by a vast and distant atmosphere at this moment.
It was like an ancient oriental elder, slowly spreading out an epic scroll in front of him.
