Humans are greedy and shameless.
This kind of cognition is not the conclusion that the elves take things out of context, but the conclusion that they have dealt with human beings for thousands of years. In history, countless elves have suffered losses in the hands of human beings. Elves have a long life, and most of their characters are weak and simple, without too much pursuit. So up to now, elves have maintained the social and economic habit of barter.
The character of elves leads them to use their own situation to deduce human beings. A valuable gem will be regarded as a good decoration by elves, but there is no need to take risks or do anything extraordinary for it. However, this gem is worth most of human's life. Based on cognitive differences, elves have been cheated and betrayed by human beings for countless times.
Even though the elves living in Farr forest are declining gradually, this ancestral precept still goes deep into the elves' bones and is praised as common sense. Ordinary elves are strictly forbidden to contact with human society. Only the selected special elves can cooperate with human business associations and exchange materials in the deep of Farr forest.
Isabella and Isabelle are one of the elves who are responsible for exchanging materials with human beings. One day, when a human chamber of Commerce staff was exchanging materials, they accidentally put their novels on the carriage carrying the materials. Isabella, who was sorting out the materials, found them.
Although the elves despise human beings, they maintain a high degree of recognition for the artistic civilization created by human beings, which is like the night blooming flowers even in the marsh full of poisonous gas( Noctiluca is a precious raw material of magic medicine, which only grows in swamp, will shine at night and has detoxification effect.)
As a spirit in charge of material exchange, Isabella can easily master human language by magic, so she can also understand the words in the novel.
Elves also have their own words and unique culture. Most of the literature created by elves are poems praising the beauty of nature, and a small number of essays are not without novels. It's just that the novels created by elves' character are more similar to the fragmentary prose, with scattered structure and no clear main plot, Most of them describe the daily life of the elves, or they are full of educational significance to the elves.
What is human fiction like?
Isabella had this idea for the first time when she saw the strange cover of the novel. She still clearly remembers the strange impression of the cover of the novel at that time. The cover of the novel is a picture of a despairing prisoner and a gorgeous but melancholy man. The strong feelings expressed are completely opposite to the artistic habits of the elves.
In the corner of the banquet hall, Isabella holds her chin and looks longingly at Harvey. In the eyes of other people in the banquet hall, she is a middle-aged woman who is crazy about flowers. "That's Mr. Adrian. Although it's different from what she imagined, she is really a very good writer."
"Where do you see that? I only see that he is an evil human caster!"
Isabella has no good way. She has tried to hand over the novel to the fairy elder on the grounds of rules several times, but Isabella suppressed it as her sister.
"Well, in retrospect, I should have destroyed that novel even if I was beaten by my sister." Isabelle closed her eyes and sighed silently as she remembered the time.
······
Ashra, the settlement of the elves, is hidden in the depths of the far forest by a huge magic array, free from the invasion of human beings and forest beasts. There are big trees everywhere, and even if dozens of people embrace each other, they can't measure the strength of the tree trunks. Most of the elves' wooden houses are built on these tree trunks, and the crisscross wooden stairs connect different places, It looks like an attic built on a tree trunk.
Lying on a hammock made of vines, Isabella curiously flipped the unexpected human novel, fingered the portrait on the cover, and said to herself curiously, "who is this? I didn't expect that human beings have developed the art of decorating books with portraits. "
Isabelle was worried about her sister's behavior and hesitated, "sister, this is not good."
Isabella didn't care to wave her hand: "what does it matter? It's just human literature. It's not really human contact. Besides, it's good for our work to understand human ideas through literature, isn't it? "
"The elder has stipulated that it is not allowed to bring human things into ashra without permission."
Isabella said with a smile: "we are the only ones responsible for the exchange of goods and materials this time. If you don't say it, no one will know, or do you want to disobey your sister? Hum, in this case, I won't pick fruit or cook for you in the future. "
"Good ~ good ~ good ~ whatever you want. I don't care if I'm discovered by other elves." Isabelle reluctantly goes back to her bed, stretches, uses magic to clean her filth, and then lies down on the bed.
"Thank you, my sister."
As the sky darkened, a few flowers growing on the roof slowly unfolded their bodies and burst out a soft white bouquet to illuminate the tree house.
Isabelle looks at her sister and reads this human novel curiously. She doesn't know when she will close her eyes and gradually fall asleep.
When she woke up the next day, the lighting bouquet on the roof had curled up, but Isabella saw that her sister was still reading the human novel. Judging from the thickness of the pages, Isabella didn't sleep all night. Isabelle feels incredible. Yesterday, they were responsible for exchanging materials with human beings. Just arranging the magic array to prevent accidents consumed a lot of their energy. Although Isabella, as her sister, is more energetic, she should be as tired as usual.
Isabella yawns from time to time, but her eyes never leave the human novel. At that time, Isabella feels like she has made a fatal mistake.
After a period of time, every time she came back, Isabelle could see her sister holding the book. Even after reading it, she didn't know how many times she had read it. She was still happy to do so, with an expression of urgency, relief and giggle.
Isabelle can only comfort herself that Isabella's enthusiasm will soon pass, not a big deal.
Just as she thought, Isabella lost her enthusiasm half a month after reading the novel, and the shabby novel was treasured.
However, one time when she exchanged materials with human beings, Isabella brought back several human novels. It should be that she secretly made a deal with human businessmen and heard a magic device called "phantom" from human businessmen.
After that, Isabella couldn't control the situation completely. When Isabella finished reading the novel again, she applied to the fairy elder for human social training. Considering the deterioration of ashra's environment, the elder who was late for the fairy to have large-scale contact with human also agreed.
Isabelle, who can't let go of her sister, has no choice but to accompany her sister to hide her identity and wander in human society. Her destination is the Holy Land "Elroy city" in Isabella's mind. Coincidentally, just when I arrived in Elroy by steam train, I heard the news about the farewell banquet. The two elves and sisters easily mixed in with low-level spirit suggestion magic, so this scene happened.
