"Who cares about these half-elves!"
"Exactly, half-elves are all stupid!"
"That's right, half-elf farmers are no good at farming, no good at carving, they don't deserve to stay in the Eternal City!"
"Elves should unite with other elves; elves should not unite with humans!"
Qin Yiyi's words ignited the anger of all the other elves present.
"We don't need half-elves. If you want to take a half-elf, then take him!"
"That's right, our lives would be better without half-elves!"
Hearing these words, even the little girl named Dodora, who had been trying to hold back, finally couldn't help but burst into tears, silently venting her frustration at the injustice.
But she had no way to refute it.
Qin Yiyi snorted coldly. She was already familiar with the system of the Eternal City. Elves enjoyed privileges and trampled on half-elves. Half-elves took on all the dirty and hard work in the city, which was why they looked so rich and elegant.
If no one does these dirty and tiring jobs, and robots are too expensive, they will eventually fall into the hands of humans, and these noble elves will have to do hard labor.
The dirty and tiring work is done by elves. No matter how elegant they are, can someone who carries manure be elegant?
Can someone who smells like feces still be elegant?
It's like eating rice grown by someone else and then complaining that it doesn't taste good, shamelessly saying that you won't starve even without rice!
Qin Yiyi certainly didn't tolerate this group of people. She wasn't afraid at all of them joining forces to refuse the half-elves. It just so happened that her territory was short of labor, and she even had to buy ordinary slaves. These half-elves, who had some skills and even some good skills but were looked down upon by the elves, came to her territory. She was too busy welcoming them to the doorstep!
“I know that the Eternal City is a wise ruler. If you do not like half-elves and want them to leave, my territory is always open to you. As long as you dare to vote, I dare to accept half-elves forever!”
The noise suddenly stopped for a second.
Should we urge everyone to vote?
Everyone else hesitated for a moment, but the aunt who had her cake smashed on her today didn't hesitate at all.
"Vote it! I'll be the first to vote to expel the half-elf!"
Seeing that the situation was escalating beyond their control, the duty elf quickly called for help.
This is the main city's flower market, where crystals record everything that happens here. After he sent the information back, he said that a distinguished guest had a conflict with an elf, so reinforcements arrived immediately.
Three police cars arrived and parked on the side of the road, and more than a dozen people got out.
"Everyone else, stay back! Otherwise, you will be dealt with according to the law!"
Some of the on-duty elves love to intimidate others by relying on their power, but they aren't particularly good at actually doing things properly.
Qin Yiyi shook her head as soon as she saw the dozen or so people.
Produce the token.
"Send those of you who are truly in charge to me! We can confront the Duke of Eternity together!"
The woman who had been pelted with cake was indignant; it was the first time she had ever been bullied and forced to pay compensation and apologize in the elves' territory!
"Let's stand our ground then! Let the Duke see if someone like you deserves to be a distinguished guest of the Eternal City!"
A duty elf wearing a hat stepped forward. He looked quite old and must have been extremely experienced.
His face darkened as soon as he saw the token.
He cursed everyone around him.
"The tokens vary in rank. Before you took up your posts, didn't we repeatedly emphasize that this Bauhinia token represents the most distinguished guest?"
This is the Eternal Bauhinia, a token personally bestowed by the Eternal Duke!
This was the first time Qin Yiyi had lit up the token. A bauhinia flower slowly opened, and a huge bauhinia flower appeared in the air where she, Zhu Li, was. In less than three seconds, an elf with transparent wings flew over. It wasn't a duty elf growing from small to large; it flew over in its true form.
Immediately afterwards, countless winged elves flew over, and soon hundreds of people surrounded them.
"Clear the area!"
The first elf to fly over glanced at the elf on duty.
"Our special operations force is now in charge. You can go back now!"
"I will communicate directly with your supervisor about today's matter!"
This elf called the Special Operations Force looks like a battlefield veteran.
"We are part of the Bauhinia Legion under the Duke. If you have any questions, please tell me directly, and I will handle them for you!"
Qin Yiyi raised an eyebrow.
“They said they wanted to expel the half-elves, but it just so happens that my territory can accommodate half-elves.”
The man didn't frown at all when he heard the request. He looked at the half-elf holding a flowerpot next to him. Half-elves and elves don't look very different, except that half-elves are born with a round earring on the tip of their ear, which is their mark.
To put it bluntly, it is the mark of shame for half-elves.
Half-elves are generally no different from elves in appearance. Most people only recognize them by their earrings. If an elf has a silver earring on the tip of his ear, he is considered a half-elf. Most half-elves are not good at planting flowers and crops, nor are they good at carving handicrafts. This lack of skill is seen by elves as a sign that they cannot integrate into the group, so they are increasingly ostracized by half-elves.
"You seem to be a half-elf skilled in farming. The Eternal Capital has a rule that half-elves skilled in farming can study at the Agricultural Academy and are guaranteed job placement afterward. Why don't you go and study there?"
Under this intense pressure, Dodora gave up in despair and looked up with tears in her eyes.
"Why can't I learn from you high and mighty adults? Don't you know? You've established a treaty that treats half-elves and elves as equals, but discrimination is everywhere. Even you patrolling elves will unconditionally favor the elves whenever you see a conflict between half-elves and elves!"
The Bauhinia flower's special agent spirit frowned slightly.
"Our Eternal City is a city where half-elves and elves are equal. We have established laws of equality. Since you have been treated unfairly, why don't you appeal? Why don't you tell us?"
Dodora shook her head as she looked at the group of special agents who were of noble status and powerful strength, yet asked such a question.
"My lord, how can a lowly person easily meet with high-ranking officials? I need a channel to give feedback. Have you investigated the administrators of your various regions? They are all composed of elves. A council composed entirely of high-ranking elves, a law entirely decided by high-ranking elves—are you sure they will speak up for half-elves?"
Would a capitalist speak up for ordinary people?
"You've really opened my eyes to a question like this! Half-elves in the Eternal City! Hopeless!"
