Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

Chapter 109 I didn’t expect it to be such an elf

The holy land of the elves, Serdarion.

An elven city built around the Sacred Tree of Vathirn, the largest tree known on the continent.

The towering treetops point straight to the sky, the lush branches cover an area of ​​several square kilometers, and countless aerial roots hang down to the ground, forming "tree trunks". On these trunks transformed from roots, there are scattered tree houses with very elf-like characteristics.

Looking around, it fits all of Jia Xiu's stereotypes about the city, which is a combination of the two keywords elves and giant trees.

It couldn't be more clever.

Standing in the square of the portal, Jia Xiu even had an urge to take risks, and he seemed to hear the adventurous tunes played by the harp and bagpipes in a trance.

Oh, it turns out there are street performers playing music on the edge of the square.

That's fine.

"Students from Sant'Ero College, please follow me. Your accommodation is here."

A staff member who was not sure whether it was an elf or a half-elf said that judging from the length of the ears, the probability of it being a half-elf might be greater.

It is said that the length of the ear tip is positively correlated with the purity of the elven bloodline.

People like Mia undoubtedly have almost no elven blood.

The accommodation arranged for the College of Sant'Ero is not far from the square and consists of several rows of similar wooden buildings.

"I thought we could live in a tree house."

Jia Xiu was a little disappointed.

Mia said from the side: "Believe me, living in a tree house is not comfortable at all. Not only is it tiring to climb up and down, but you will also encounter all kinds of bugs you can imagine and even unexpected ones. They are not afraid of people and will jump on your face and crawl into your mouth."

"what……"

Jia Xiu got goosebumps just thinking about it.

Ram replied sullenly, "That's delicious."

"Eh!" Mia couldn't stand it anymore.

However, the living conditions here are not very good. It is a small room with nothing in it and two beds. The only interesting thing is the carpet, which seems to be some kind of moss, soft, and will emit a fleeting fluorescence when stepped on.

It's just not a big deal for Jia Xiu, but it's a big problem for Ram. He can't sleep in this bed.

Just as Jia Xiu was about to ask the half-elf staff member, Mia spoke.

"No need to look for one. This is the peak tourist season for the Elf Holy Land. There aren't many vacant rooms. Plus, there are too many people coming from our academy, and there's no place to accommodate them."

"Ram can sleep on the floor. He sleeps on the floor a lot anyway. These green things feel very comfortable."

"That's not the case. I have a way to improve our living conditions."

"any solution?"

……

Ten minutes later, Jia Xiu and his group arrived at a market.

This does not fit Jia Xiu's stereotype. The market is very prosperous, with a wide variety of shops. It does not seem like a place that would be built by "pure and unselfish" elves.

"I didn't expect that elves are also keen on doing business."

"It wasn't built by the elves," Mia said. "Seldarion has long been a tourist destination, and there are no elves working in the tourism industry. But the elves want to make money, so they recruited many people of other races: humans, halflings, gnomes, and half-elves. There are no dwarves, and the dwarves don't want to come."

While Mia was introducing them, she took them through the commercial street quickly.

"You seem very familiar with this place?" Jia Xiu asked.

"I guess so. I lived here for a while."

"Then what are we going to do now?"

"Buy gifts, then visit relatives. If nothing unexpected happens, we can stay at her house. She has plenty of rooms. There are elves living here already. No matter what their side hustles are, they're all landlords, and they're incredibly wealthy."

So the elves here are actually a group of big landlords who own several shops at the beginning.

Jia Xiu felt that his filter for elves was half broken.

That's not what the story says.

Stories are indeed unreliable. However, visiting relatives...

"Mia, this relative of yours, could it be?"

"Yes, it's just as you think. My beloved grandmother, you shouldn't be surprised that she's still alive, right?"

"It makes sense. It's very elf-like."

If it wasn't surprising that Mia's wife and grandmother were still alive, then the gift Mia bought was very surprising.

Liquor, cured meats, ham, tobacco...

This is less like visiting an elf and more like visiting a dwarf.

In response to this, Mia said that you will know when you go there.

So, Mia knocked on the door of a four-story villa with a crystal dome that looked extremely luxurious.

Jia Xiu looked at the doorpost that was decorated with some unknown gemstone and felt the urge to pick it off.

Are local landlords so rich?
After waiting for about five minutes, I heard the door open.

A woman in a fitted leaf-green dress opened the door. She was an elf, not much older than Margaret.

However, it is well known that it is difficult to judge the age of the elves by their appearance.

"Grandma Gillianis, I'm here to see you."

Mia said directly.

Calling one's great-grandmother's great-grandmother "grandma" is not impolite; rather, in common language, using "grandma" or "grandma" would involve repeating a word, so for brevity, it's usually just called "grandma."

"Oh, so it is..."

Grandma Gillianis hesitated very obviously. It was not difficult to see that she was trying hard to recall who the person in front of her should be. After hesitating for a few seconds, she sighed. It was obvious that she did not remember it, but gave up.

"Yes, is it Anna?"

"No, Anna is my great-grandmother's mother."

"Excuse me, is that Lilith?"

"Not really. Lilith is my great-grandmother's sister."

"That, that..."

"I'm Mia, Mia, do you remember me?" Mia interrupted her grandmother's guess.

"Oh, it's Mia. Come in."

A warm smile spread across Gillianth's face.

However, Jia Xiu, who often talks nonsense, was very sure that judging from the expression of this elf, he definitely didn't remember who Mia was.

Jia Xiu and his party walked into the luxurious villa.

The door closes.

A scene that surprised Jia Xiu appeared.

Gillianis kicked off her shoes, waved her hands and cast a spell, and the slim long skirt on her body turned into loose clothes. Her walking posture was no longer elegant and dignified, but careless.

Mia was not surprised. "Grandma, have you forgotten who I am?"

"This, this is not my fault. It seems that not long after, my child suddenly has a big family. Who can remember this? Why have so many children when there is nothing better to do?"

"Grandma, I brought you a gift."

"It's a good birth. It's really a great birth."

Even Jia Xiu felt ashamed of himself for the smooth and fluent facial changes.

Seeing the confused Jia Xiu and Ram, Gillianis asked, "Are you getting married too? You mean, a two-way marriage?"

"Oh, no! These two are my classmates. We are here to participate in the Big Five Schools Championship." Mia hurriedly denied.

Gillianis took out a bottle of wine from the package while looking at Jia Xiu. "You've never seen a purebred elf in private? You've heard too many rumors about their nobility and elegance. It's okay, you'll get used to it after seeing them more often. Elves are not all the same. I just smoke and drink in private..."
