    Chapter 129 The owners of the tavern, elves and half-elves

    The carriage had just stopped, and the handsome male waiter who was responsible for reception at the door had already greeted him respectfully and stood beside the wheel with his hands tied.  People come and go, and these smart young people's eyesight has long been honed to perfection. Who is just here to have a casual meal, who is an adventurer passing by to stay, and who is an important person who he cannot afford to offend?  You can make a rough guess just by taking a quick glance.

    A magician who can skillfully use third-level spells is considered a figure even if we look at the entire Saurons.  The eye-catching spire pattern in the shield-shaped family crest on the carriage proudly displays the distinguished status of its owner.  Sebastian had no intention of concealing his identity. In his view, the protagonists in those third-rate biographical novels who liked to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers were simply causing trouble on purpose.  It is meaningless for the rational strong men to show their identity and step on others after being bullied, because that kind of conflict does not need to happen in the first place. It is purely for the upstart-like protagonists to find trouble for themselves.  If revealing his identity from the start would avoid a lot of trouble, he would be happy to do so.  The young magician is not afraid of trouble, but he will not ask for trouble either.

    The two of them entered the tavern under the leadership of the waiter. As soon as the door opened, a wave of heat rushed towards them, accompanied by noisy voices and exotic music.

    Arati squinted his eyes and quickly scanned the surrounding environment. This habit has become his instinct as a warrior.  If he didn't even have this vigilance, his grave would have been overgrown with weeds.

    The hall is quite large, with 20 or 30 pairs of tables and chairs of various sizes arranged haphazardly, filled with all kinds of guests.  Directly opposite the bar is a half-person-high stage. At this moment, a gypsy girl with a plump figure and scantily clad clothes is shaking her belly and dancing wildly to the deafening accompaniment of the band.  Seeing the wonderful things, some guests were worried about their own demeanor and just clapped their hands to praise; but many people whistled loudly, full of naked provocation; there were even two disheveled dwarfs who were afraid of each other.  After drinking too much, he simply stood on the table and twisted wildly to the beat of the music, which actually attracted the applause of the good-hearted people watching the theater nearby.

    "Two distinguished guests, the hall is noisy, how about moving to the inner room? It's quieter there." The waiter glanced at the young man beside him and suggested cautiously.

    If other people see this duo of middle-aged man and young man, they may easily think of the knight and his young attendant, especially when the man is wearing shining armor.  But the waiter saw with his own eyes that when he got off the carriage, the tall and mighty knight was the first to get off.  And when the two of them were walking, the young man was also vaguely dominant.  Thinking of the shocking emblem on the carriage carriage, this well-informed waiter couldn't help but secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He was even afraid that he had met a great person today.

    "Well, let's lead the way." Sebastian said after looking at the hall for a while.  It's not that he is being pretentious. You must know that the purpose of his coming here is to talk about things, not to drink.  Although the atmosphere here is good, it is really too noisy.

    As for Arati, he came to accompany me at Isabel's request, so he was naturally helpless.  Although he and the boy next to him already belong to the same force, the two have fought against each other without any tricks for several times. It can be said that Alati has witnessed the incredible growth rate of the other party with his own eyes. Deep in his heart, he seems to have a deep understanding of this.  The unpredictable young man actually had a hint of fear.

    A few days ago, when he saw the young magician again after being separated for some time, he was shocked to realize that the young man's calm and extraordinary temperament was exactly the same as the masters he had come into contact with.  Arati couldn't figure it out. Although it was possible to improve one's strength in a very short period of time, a person's temperament and posture could also change so quickly?  It's been less than a year, and the former bandit leader can no longer recall the childishness he had when he first met the boy next to him.

    You know, once upon a time, this little guy was just a servant of a wealthy lady Arati shouted unwillingly in his heart, things are unpredictable, and fate is so unfair!

    Turning around a gorgeous screen partition, passing through a seven-curved corridor, the attendant leading the way pushed open a carved double door, and the eyes suddenly opened up again.

    The area of ??the inner hall is slightly smaller than that of the outer hall. In contrast, there are only ten tables, so it seems particularly empty.  Reliefs, murals, statues, carpets, furnishings, etc. are all exquisite and elegant. This is nothing, but what is particularly rare is that these many decorations are mixed together and are so harmonious with each other, which can't help but show the design.The ingenuity of the planner comes.  If the style of the lobby outside is lower-level, this place will be like a sunny one.  When the wooden door slowly closed behind him, the sounds outside suddenly disappeared, making people almost question whether they were in a different space.

    Similar to the hall, the other end of the bar is also a stage, and a performer is playing the harp at the moment.  As those slender fingers flicked lightly, the beautiful and intoxicating musical notes rippled in the hall like running water, like the beauty of the wonderful scene gurgling from the fountain under the moonlight, permeating the poetic atmosphere and washing the guests warmly.  their tired souls.

    "Elf?" Arati said unconsciously as he keenly caught sight of the slender pointed ears vaguely exposed from the performer's long hair.

    "Yes, that is Ms. Alhanna Xingyao, a music master from the distant elf country." The young waiter puffed up his chest proudly, as if just saying this lady's beautiful name was enough.  "The master is an old friend of the boss, so he accepted the invitation and came to play the last song in his free time during his stay in Saurens City. But there were too many people a while ago.  The noble gentlemen are waiting here every day, Master Alhanna has not been here for a long time, you two are really lucky."

    Ordinary people who have not dealt with elves in depth may not know it, but as a qualified magician, Sebastian clearly knows that those elven families whose surnames contain one of the three lights of the sun, moon, and star  , are all high elves left over from the Dragon War, and they hold huge power in the clan.  Compared with humans, the fecundity of elves is generally low, and a family often does not have many offspring.  In view of the fact that elves attach great importance to bloodline, all elves who inherit the surnames of Sun, Moon and Star are undoubtedly nobles recognized by the Elven Court.

    Research on some elven classics even shows that, contrary to common human knowledge, in elven culture, the order of the three lights is completely reversed, with the stars being higher than the moon and then the sun.  As for the specific reason, it is unclear.

    Alhanna? Xingyao What is the reason for this high-status high elf noble to come to Saurons?  This thought only circulated in Sebastian's mind for a while before he suppressed it.  Most of the time, he is not a troublesome person.

    "Go and ask Mr. Tannis to come over. I have a commission here and I need his help." Sebastian said kindly after the waiter took his seat.

    The young man named Tanis is known as the "Wind of the Battlefield" in the world of adventurers.  He has a handsome appearance and strong strength. He has solved many major events in his adventurous career and has been sung by bards. He is truly a glorious man.  Even though half a century has passed since the famous hero retired, and he himself may have been dead for a long time, Tanis is still the perfect idol in the minds of many newcomers to the industry.

    I don¡¯t know how many young men deliberately imitated Tanis because they admired him, and fought with two swords without overestimating their abilities. Even if they lost their lives, they never regretted it.  However, only people close to him know that the reason why this battlefield warrior is famous for his proficiency in fighting with two swords is because he is an outstanding and rare "double hand", and more importantly,  , what Tanis learned was not ordinary sword skills, but the secret war dancer training of the elves.  He is not actually a human, but a rare half-elf.

    Tanis has never publicized his identity, and few people know his real surname, not even Sebastian.  However, thinking of the elf lady who was playing a beautiful melody at this moment, he could understand a little bit.  It is conceivable that one of Tanis' parents must also be an elf noble, and because of this, he was able to make an exception and receive training as a war dancer as a half-elf.  Of course, perhaps a big reason is that he is most likely the product of his parents' romantic love, rather than the product of a tragic rape.  This prevented him from growing up under the rejection of the elves, but that inevitable indifference may be one of the reasons why Tanis is unwilling to confess his identity.

    Half-elves are a sad existence. Although their number is not large due to racial reproductive isolation, there are still a lot of them.  To humans, half-elves are like elves; to elves, half-elves are more like humans.  Although under certain circumstances, half-elves can temporarily act as diplomats as a lubricant between humans and elves, in more cases it is difficult for them to be truly accepted by the two parties from the bottom of their hearts.  and recognition.  If we insist on saying that there is something lucky in misfortune, then it can only be said that half-elves have accepted the advantages of both parent races to a certain extent, but there are no obvious shortcomings.

    The half-elf Tanis is likeLike other friends, he once concealed his identity intentionally or unintentionally.  Influenced by his elven blood, he took over this tavern after suddenly getting tired of the adventurous life.  After decades of maintenance, the reputation of the Adventurer's House has also grown, and a big signboard has been erected.
