Chapter 429: No matter how kind a black dragon is, it is still a black dragon
“...... Is this Wynde City?"
The elf lifted the brim of the hood that blocked the view, and before he entered the city gate, he was already a little timid in his heart.
"Yes, this is Winde City!" Cervantes stood beside the elf with a lazy smile, "Winde City for me and Serra!"
The cars and horses around did not stop, but they slowed down significantly, and Eppoli looked around in a daze, and couldn't help but reach out and grab the corner of the black dragon's clothes.
Because Cervantes is so conspicuous, in addition to the dragon wings and dragon scales, he has not put away the dragon horns and dragon tails that can show his identity, coupled with his tall stature, even outsiders who have been to Wende City a few times can recognize that this is the lord of this territory.
The surrounding merchants had already taken off their hats and saluted the black dragon to show their highest respect for the idle lord.
It was because of this lord's indulgence in this realm that they were able to make so much money here, and that alone was enough to make them respect him - it was great that the Grim Wind Territory had a lord who didn't interfere in politics and commerce!
Epli saw that the eyes of the humans around her were cast, and although she didn't know what was happening, she looked at the expressions on the faces of those people...... The humans seemed to be saluting them, or rather, Cervantes?
Looking across the crowd, Epli saw the soldiers with their right hands raised with their eyebrows raised, if she guessed correctly, they were the city guards, right?
So, are they really saluting Cervantes?
To be honest, although the black dragon is the savior of the elves, but Epli has always thought that what he said, 'I am the beloved lord of the people', is just boasting, and a black dragon becoming a lord of human territory is already ridiculous enough to be loved?
But judging by the current situation, it seems that he is not boasting......
The elf tightened the cloak draped over her, and even though the heat was rolling outside, she was more concerned about the human gaze than the temperature.
'They're looking at themselves!' Epli suddenly felt a fluster.
There was a look of curiosity in the eyes of the people around them, and they were all a little surprised, because it was not the maid master who was standing next to the lord now, maybe it was the same as before, except for the maid lord beside the lord, only the two silver dragon girls were taken by him to appreciate Wende City.
In addition, lords often don't bring other people with them, but now there is another one, and they are very curious about who the man with the cloak is.
Cervantes keenly noticed the strangeness of the elf, waved his hand and said hello to the people around him, pulled Epuri, and lined up into the city of Wende.
Even the lord needs to obey the traffic order!
It was Cervantes' idea to bring Epli out and let her see Wende City, and it was idle anyway, so it was better to bring her out and let her have a good look at their Sadwind, so that she could understand that the people of Sadwind's Territory were different from people in other places.
"Don't wrap yourself so tightly!" Cervantes smiled indifferently after glancing at the people around him, "They're just curious, after all, there is an unknown person next to their lord, and you hide yourself so tightly that anyone else will be curious!"
"It's better to say—"
Cervantes lifted Epally's hood and laughed, "When they're all used to it, they won't be curious!"
The scorching sunlight shone directly on the elf's pale face, the two long ears were exposed to the air, and all eyes were focused on her face, and Eply was stunned, she had no idea that this would happen......
Her hood had been lifted by the dragon she trusted most, and the humans had seen her appearance, and they already knew she was an elf......
The elf felt a blur in front of her, and her body began to tremble, her hands involuntarily clenched her arms, and her eyes kept wandering, because she knew that in the next second, the next moment, the next moment, someone would come and take her away-
"What do you think?"
The black dragon patted the elf on the shoulder, and when he saw the elf turn his head with dazed eyes, he understood what was happening.
Cervantes scoffed and pointed with his chin, "Look around?"
Epli looked back blankly, blankly.
She noticed that no one was moving, and the humans who had been watching her seemed to lose interest for a moment, and some stood together and whispered, but the way they looked was nothing like what Eppoli had imagined in her mind.
After standing in place for half a minute, Epli reacted.
She asked the black dragon beside her, "Why didn't they come to arrest me?"
The black dragon blinked and smashed his mouth, "The question you asked is really difficult, I can't seem to answer it...... But Winde City is probably one of the most inclusive cities in the world! No matter what race you are, you don't have discrimination here...... Well, at least on the surface, there will be no discrimination, because we have set up laws to protect the rights and interests of merchants of all races! All races have their place in the city, and while it is the humans who run the city, we don't mind having people of other races join the ranks, of course, if they join the nationality of the Principality of Sorrow. ”
The elf still looked a little confused, and Cervantes thought about it again.
"Let's put it this way, in Wende City, there are not many wild elves, but there are also a lot, they integrate well with human society, in the eyes of others, you probably have a little longer ears and a little better looking, they should still treat you as a 'wild elf', and wild elves walking on the street will not be beaten by slave traders. ”
"And—"
Cervantes stood on the street, in the midst of the crowd around him, pointed to the ground under his feet, and shouted without shame: "In this land, in the Sorrowful Wind, there are no slave traders, their existence is illegal, as long as they dare to engage in the slave trade here, they are illegal and criminal, and they will be arrested!"
"So you don't have to worry at all. The black dragon shrugged his shoulders and grinned at the suspicious and surprised looks of the people around him.
"Elves. ”
Cervantes pointed at Epli and said in a language she didn't understand, "Orthodox!"
Then, he saw that the people were suddenly stunned, and Epli also saw that the humans around him suddenly froze, looking at him in a daze, and involuntarily moved his body behind the black dragon, but the black dragon pulled her from behind to his side.
"I know you're still a little scared......"
The black dragon's brisk voice rang in Epally's ears, and after hearing this voice, the elf's stiff body relaxed slightly.
"But what I want to tell you is that in Windcity, even if they know that you are the orthodox spirit of the Starry and Moonless Forest—this is what I told them—you can walk the streets, in the open!"
Cervantes said triumphantly to the elves, even though the reason why this city was a 'city of miracles' had nothing to do with him.
"Not a wild elf......"
"Orthodox elves......"
"Is she going to live in Windtown too......"
Eply stood beside Cervantes in a daze, the sounds around her reaching her ears, and although she couldn't understand what they were saying, she could feel them...... Doesn't seem to have any ill will towards yourself?
How is this possible?!
"Okay, let's all disperse, I'm going to take her for a good walk!"
The elf couldn't understand what the black dragon was saying, and she saw that all the humans around her had dispersed, and although they were still watching her, it seemed that they were just curious......
"The price of elf slaves is indeed high, and it can even make people take risks, if the elves appear in other cities, there may still be dangers, but if they are in Wende City, then there will never be danger!"
Epli followed the black dragon and saw him pointing at the corners and streets: "See? Those in black uniforms, still patrolling the streets under the sun, are 'police', if something really happens, they can be the first to arrive." If you don't believe it, I'll let those two-headed silver dragon girls take you out next time, and then you'll understand that nothing will happen to you in Wende City. ”
Cervantes grinned, proud of the 'city of miracles' he ruled.
Although, it has nothing to do with him at all!
