Chapter 310 Engagement Ceremony, Elf
It’s summer and the cicadas are chirping.
Rand's lord hall was decorated very lively, which was unusual.
Although the overall style is still full of wildness, the bone snake is still coiled above the lord's hall.
However, compared to when it was first built, both the interior and exterior decorations are much more gorgeous.
Rand also dressed much more formally.
Some people were invited to the engagement ceremony, but they were all people who had a relatively good and close relationship with Rand.
Instead of holding a grand ceremony and inviting a large number of nobles or even kings to watch the ceremony.
The host of the ceremony was the former Archbishop of the Torch Church, the current Archbishop of the Frost Moon Kingdom, and one of the souls of the Novice Faction of the Torch Church, Bishop Kahn! Rand had been hesitant about whether to choose Bishop Kahn as the host of the ceremony. Since he couldn't find someone who was respectable enough, he decided to invite Bishop Kahn to host the engagement ceremony at the last minute.
Bishop Kahn had never expected this. He didn't understand why a cult leader would invite him, a bishop of the Torch Church, to be the host of the engagement ceremony. But he still had to give face to Rand, so it was difficult to refuse.
However, when he received the invitation, he was still leading an "inspection mission" in Xinyue.
He had just rushed back from Xinyueling Village. Since there was still a kiss mark on his neck, he had to choose more solemn and thicker clothes in the relatively hot weather.
Although it was hot, if the hickey was seen in such an occasion, he would be finished.
However, as an experienced bishop, Bishop Kahn naturally remained calm, and people could not tell that he was very excited.
As for the sweat on his forehead, he evaporated it with flames. Although it was hotter, he had to do so for the sake of face.
I hope the engagement ceremony will be over soon.
As a highly respected old bishop, Bishop Kahn has presided over many engagement or wedding ceremonies.
He is very experienced, but today, in addition to feeling hot, he also felt a little nervous.
It was not the first time that he felt that this lord's hall was extremely evil.
When Bishop Kahn was doing business in the upper-level hideout, he would deliberately avoid this place because it was too evil.
Bishop Kahn has gradually become familiar with Rand over the past period of time. He does not think that Rand would do anything evil, but this place is too evil and makes him feel a little uncomfortable.
It was as if there were altars of several different cults here at the same time.
It's really weird.
And although he was experienced, he had no experience in hosting an engagement ceremony for a cult leader.
He was a little worried. Would this anger the evil god that Rand served? On the contrary, he was not very worried about the Torch Goddess. The Torch Goddess had no time to care about such boring things.
After all, he has been visiting brothels all the time and has never been punished, right?
Karin watched from the side with her arms folded. She was also among those invited by Rand.
Although she was not Rand's relative or friend, since they were currently discussing in-depth cooperation, it would be impolite for Rand not to invite her.
It would be rude for her not to come.
So here I come.
But her dress was completely different from the other guests.
Most of the guests were dressed up, like the owner of the perfume shop opposite her detective agency.
A gorgeous low-cut evening dress with sparkling gems embellished on her chest and forehead made Miss Ayesha a pearl at the banquet.
At least until the heroine of this engagement ceremony appears, Miss Ayesha will be one of the focuses of attention.
Karin was still wearing her usual work clothes, a detective uniform, with a hat whose brim covered half of her face.
It’s not that she likes this outfit too much, but if she dresses up like Miss Ayesha, she might be recognized.
Even if you can't recognize it for the time being, it will be easy for people to guess your identity when it is mentioned repeatedly in the future.
So it’s better to avoid trouble. The current detective uniform is good. It makes her look like a staff member hired to maintain order in the venue, and not many people will pay attention to her.
Karin also noticed that the elf who worked as a teacher in the school seemed to have come as well, but he also seemed to be a staff member, there to help welcome guests.
It seemed that this elf had many part-time jobs, and Karin often saw her running to the upper-level hideout.
Is she anxious to redeem herself? That's why she works so hard.
Inside the lord's hall, at the banquet, guests were toasting each other or chatting.
Rand and Ellie have not yet appeared on stage. They are still nervously tidying up their appearance.
Soon it will be their time to appear.
Rand looked at Ellie, who was wearing a dress and looking equally nervous.
Seeing Ellie so nervous, Rand was not so nervous anymore.
It will be their turn soon.
…
At the same time, in the woods outside the resort, under the still scorching sun, a group of elves were acting cautiously.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The leading elf said: "According to the information obtained through torture, #%...& (translated as vanilla) was finally sold here."
They are the elven field troops, and sometimes moonlight as slave catchers.
Just as humans often capture elves as slaves, elves also often capture humans as slaves.
But this time they didn't come here to capture slaves. The elves with royal blood were actually captured!
The blood of the elf royal family must not be left outside! So they set out.
Since the human slave traders were not very tight-lipped, they soon caught up with them.
The task will be completed soon.
They sneaked into the town hiding in the merchants' goods.
Then quietly observe this place called a resort.
It was really prosperous. They had never seen such a prosperous town along the way.
And there are elf slaves here too.
The Elven Field Troops found their compatriots.
An elf maid walked out of the tavern, carrying a basket, as if she was going out to buy something.
Then they blocked us in an alley with fewer people.
The elven maid was not nervous after being surrounded. Instead, she said calmly, "What do you want to do? If you violate the laws set by Lord Rand, Lord Rand will not let you go."
"Don't be afraid, we are compatriots, and we are here to rescue you." The leading elf took off his hood, revealing his pointed ears.
The elf maid, who had been relatively calm and collected, was now trembling all over.
The thing she feared most had happened, and she didn't want to be rescued at all.
I finally found a job that provided me with food, clothing, and stability, but now this group of people wanted to take it away! If I went back with them, I would only be able to farm and weave in the elf village, and the elf lord would take most of the fruits of my hard work as taxes.
They will not be protected and may be captured by human slave traders, and no one knows where they will be sold.
Perhaps the life of the elven nobles and royal families was much more comfortable and luxurious than that of the human nobles and royal families, but there was actually not much difference between the lower classes of the elves and the lower classes of humans.
In the words of missionaries, as long as productivity is insufficient, life will not be good no matter what.
It's py time again, and I'm recommending a new book "It's Broken! Am I a Demon?" Recommendation: It's so good, I read it all night, and I strongly support it. (Great Read)
It’s actually quite good, if you’re interested you should definitely go and have a look.
