Lord of the Continent [Western Fantasy]

Xi Xiumi followed Eros to the box, and as soon as he entered the door, the people inside immediately stood up to greet him.

"Master Earl Xihumi, thank you very much for coming to the appointment." The man said softly, "My name is Salinger, Viscount Itenetty, it's an honor to meet you."

Salinger had already taken off his mask at this time, showing his true colors to others, Xi Xiumi looked at the Viscount closely, and couldn't help sighing in his heart: She really is a great beauty!

He looks very young, with soft face lines, fair and flawless skin, eyebrows like crescent moons, eyes like stars, lake blue pupils as clear as water, high nose bridge, thin red lips and attractive, the whole person is as beautiful as an oil painting, Just standing there quietly can make people yearn for it.

His beauty is different from the handsomeness of an angel, and even less the charm of Philotes. It is a kind of dignified and elegant beauty, like the sculpture of a god, high above the sky, exuding soft light, giving people a sense of tranquility over time.

For some reason, Xi Xiumi always had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this Lord Viscount, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't remember.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Viscount Salinger." Xi Xiumi said politely, "I don't know what you want to talk to me about?"

Salinger motioned for Xi Xiumi to sit down, and then sat down on the sofa himself. Seeing that the two were about to have a long talk, Eros voluntarily withdrew from the box and gently closed the door for them.

"That's right, Lord Earl." Salinger said, "I would like to ask Lord Earl about the elves. Since you are the owner of this sword, you must know the elves very well, right?"

Xi Xiumi said: "Oh no, I don't know anything about elves. This sword is just a collection I got by chance. I'm sorry I can't help Lord Viscount."

Disappointment was faintly visible on Salinger's face, and he said softly: "That's really a pity, but thank you, Earl, for allowing me to meet you."

Xi Xiumi thought for a while and suggested: "Actually, Lord Viscount can go to the library of the church to have a look. There should be information about the elves there."

Salinger shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I have read all the books about elves there. In fact, not only in the church library, but in the entire human kingdom, I have read almost all the books related to elves." Seen."

Xi Xiumi: "??"

Seeing that Xixiu Mi was a little surprised, Salinger explained: "To be honest, Lord Earl, I have been very keen on studying elf culture since I was a child. For some reason, I yearn for the elf country very much. I always feel that I have been there in a dream. .”

"Over the years, I have read many books about the elves, and I have collected many objects related to them. However, because this country is too mysterious and rarely interacts with the outside world, as far as we humans are concerned, the They don't know as much as orcs and half-orcs, or even dark creatures."

Everyone has curiosity. Hearing Salinger's words, Xixiumi couldn't help but also want to know what is the mystery of the elves.

Salinger pondered for a moment, and said: "According to ancient records, the lifespan of elves is measured in thousands of years. Because of this, it is very difficult for them to give birth. There may not be a newborn for a long time."

"Just like the human race, they also have a class system. The highest level is the forest god of life, followed by the ancient tree of life, the king of elves, the queen of elves, and the princes and princesses of elves."

"They live in seclusion in a corner of the Western Fantasy Continent, living in the endless dense forest, and live a life of indifference to the world. It is said that they have the purest soul, the most beautiful appearance, and the most elegant speech and behavior in the world. In short, they are very Fascinating race."

Finally, Salinger said: "Due to the limited information, I only know so much, so I asked to meet with you, Mr. Earl, thinking that maybe you have some information that I don't know."

Xi Xiumi smiled apologetically and said, "I'm really sorry, what I know is not as good as yours. It's the first time I've heard what the Viscount just said."

"It's okay, Lord Earl." Salinger said, "It is enough for me to meet with you and have a pleasant conversation."

Xi Xiumi suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Since Lord Viscount took the heart blood and the sword of the forest spirit at the same time, do you plan to drink the heart blood first, and then enchant this sword into a wood element weapon?"

Salinger thought for a while and replied: "I'm still thinking about these things. I just photographed them out of my obsession with elf culture. I don't know much about the two treasures, especially the sword of the elves. Appeared in the materials I have read."

"That's how it is." Xi Xiumi echoed: "It is understandable that the Viscount is cautious. Although the elves' blood can bring healing wood elements, there are still some side effects after all."

"Side effects?" Salinger was puzzled, "Please enlighten the earl, what are the side effects?"

Xi Xiumi was taken aback for a moment, he thought that this side effect was well known to everyone, let alone this viscount who is proficient in elf culture.

Why... so everyone didn't know?

"Uh... Actually, it's not a serious side effect." Xi Xiumi hesitated for a moment, and explained: "After drinking it, you will only become like the elves, who hate meat and prefer vegetarian food. Maybe the Viscount doesn't mind this. A little bit, but for me, it’s really a side effect.”

Salinger murmured thoughtfully, then suddenly said: "By the way, my lord, how did you know about this side effect? ​​Did you use any books or channels..."

"It was I who told the Earl."

A cold voice suddenly sounded, and the door of the box was suddenly opened. Hersius walked in with a gloomy face, followed by Eros and Philotes, both of whom were uneasy.

Xi Xiumi and Salinger looked over at the same time, Salinger frowned, a little displeased with the behavior of the visitor barging in without even knocking on the door.

"This is...?" He wondered.

"This is my housekeeper, Hughes." Xixiumi introduced, and at the same time, he gave Hersius a wink, meaning what are you doing?Why are you so rude.

"I'm sorry, my lord." Hersius nodded slightly, and said respectfully: "I was rude, and I apologize for my behavior just now."

Sishoumi waved his hand and said nothing, Hersius turned to Salinger and said, "Master Viscount, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me, but I hope to end the conversation as soon as possible, after all, my Lord Earl is used to Go to bed at ten, it's too late now."

Hersius wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and had snow-white gloves on his hands. He showed a decent smile and looked at Salinger kindly, but there was a chill all over his body.

Just now, Hersius waited at the door for a long time until all the participants left, but Xi Xiumi did not come out.

He was about to activate his spiritual sense to search for people, when he saw Eros walking out with Philotes, the two muttered and didn't know what they were talking about, so they immediately walked over to ask.

"What?" Hersius said with a stinky face, "Master Eros, you actually left my Lord Earl alone and let him share a room with strangers?"

"It's not a stranger, butler Hughes." Eros explained, "It's Viscount Salinger, the guest who just photographed the sword of the forest."

"My family doesn't know him." Hersius said coldly, "Is this still a stranger?"

"My adults always go to bed at ten o'clock at night, and it's almost ten o'clock now. It will take time to rush back to the manor. Being so delayed, I don't know when I will get home."

"My adults don't like to communicate with strangers, and have never dealt with that Viscount Salinger."

"My lord is almost never away from people, either me or other attendants, Lord Eros, you really shouldn't leave him alone!"

Eros: "..."

After being questioned by Hersius, the Sunshine Boy suddenly turned into a Frost Boy. His face was pale and he was about to be frozen by the other party's cold air. So he subconsciously glanced at Philotes beside him, but the Succubus only slightly flattened his face. He pursed his lips, implying that there was nothing I could do to help.

Obviously, the demon angel is jealous at this time, and he doesn't want to get into trouble.

"Me, me, me," Eros stammered, "Don't worry, Butler Hughes, I'll take you to the Earl right away."

Therefore, Hersius suppressed his anger and followed Eros into the box, while Philotes hid a meter away and acted as the background board to avoid being cannon fodder.

"I'm sorry." Salinger said warmly, "I wanted to ask the Earl some questions, but I neglected this point. I ask Butler Hughes to forgive me."

"You are too polite, Lord Viscount." Hersius said eccentrically, "You don't have to apologize to my insignificant butler, I really can't stand it."

He said coldly to Eros: "Master Eros, can my master leave now?"

Eros hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, why not? Why does Hughes butler ask such a question? Really, hehe, haha."

Xi Xiumi's head was full of black lines, and he couldn't understand what happened to Hersius. How could he, who was always polite, lose his composure?I had to smooth things over and said, "Housekeeper Hughes, my conversation with Lord Salinger is over, and I think I should be able to leave."

"Okay, Lord Xixiumi." Hersius said softly.

The angel butler suddenly restrained his hostility, and obediently stood behind Xi Xiumi.

Eros and Philotes felt Hersius' anger dissipate, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Eros thought in his heart that it was terrible, the Earl originally liked such a strict housekeeper?And Philotes thought, stinky angels are so funny, and something bigger is worth using the power of angels, these are a group of mortals, what a lemon essence!

Xi Xiumi bid farewell to Salinger politely, and then, accompanied by Eros, left Bunce Auction House and boarded the carriage waiting at the door.

On the carriage, Xi Xiumi complained: "Hey, why were you so fierce just now? I've never seen you treat others like this. It's really not like you."

Hersius looked at the young man, who was completely different from the domineering look just now, and said lazily, "I'm just worried about your safety. After all, the person who spared no expense to take pictures of two elf objects came to you for no reason. Chatting, I'm not by your side, I lose my composure in a moment of anxiety, don't be angry."

Xi Xiumi looked at the angel speechlessly, and the other party was like a child who did something wrong, sitting there pitifully, and suddenly lost all anger.

"Forget it, you're right." Xi Xiumi said against his will, "I don't blame you, but I feel a little embarrassed that you treat Viscount Salinger like that."

"I'm sorry, Sihumi." Hersius said lowly.

"Oh no, Hersius." Xixiumi was about to cry, and hurriedly comforted him: "It's not embarrassment, it's just... well, it's really nothing, don't do this, let's go home."

"Yes, my lord." Hersius said softly, "we will go home now."

On a quiet night, with a bright moon in the sky, the moonlight is as gentle as water, a black horse patters on the road, Xixiumi looks out of the window boredly, while the angel stares blankly at his beloved god.

You are looking at the scenery, but the person watching the scenery is looking at you.
