Seven Shows - Chapter 3. Black Eats Black

“Wait a minute, I suddenly thought of a big problem!”  Ye Lin suddenly cried.

Xavier looked at him, “You mean that we all will not grow up?!”

The life of an elf is extremely long, and its growth process is naturally very long. For example, Xavier looked only twelve or thirteen years old, but was actually alive for more than a hundred years, he is a veritable old monster.

And Ye Lin? He was very sad to find that since he became this little Zhengtai, he has never grown taller than even one centimeter.

“Although I don’t know where you are from, obviously you should have a long life like me, so you haven’t grown up at all in these two years.”  Xavier said in a tone that Ye Lin understood. Ye Lin clenched his fist, it’s not a problem that he didn’t grow up at all. He is not even like Xavier. Although he would grow up slowly but would grow up after all. He might always be like this!

“Near the tree of life, there is a kind of flower called Annual ring flower.”  Xavier said softly, “The Annual ring flower grows very inconspicuously. Only the elves can cultivate it, but it has a very important function. Small saplings urge the formation of towering trees.”

“The nectar of the Annual ring flowers is turned into water. You only need to water the tree a little, and one drop can make the tree grow by one annual ring. This is the role of the first annual ring flowers.”

Ye Lin widened his eyes. What kind of flower is it?! It’s nectar is simply against the law of natural growth!

Xavier squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. “A long time ago, a small amount of tree ring nectar from elves was obtained by the humans. Humans are not like the elves who only use this kind of thing on trees. Those black dealers use tree ring nectar to give birth to young children. And young elves, keeping them innocent and ignorant but maintaining the most perfect adult posture, selling them to high-ranking officials at a high price.”

Ye Lin could not hide the shocked expression on his face, obviously he understood in a moment what Xavier wanted to express.

“The nectar of the Annual ring flowers was originally used to give birth to trees. Even if it can affect people, people are not as thoughtless as trees. This practice made the elves very angry at that time. From then on, the elves would never sell the nectar of Annual rings to people. Humans, for greed, can do whatever they want. For this reason, there were many unpleasant battles between humans and elves. Later, the battles gradually expanded. Although the precious things of the elves to humans were not only Annual ring flowers, this was also one of the reasons why the war broke out later.”  Xavier explained, “The Annual ring flowers used to grow in large areas among the elves, but after the tree of life withered, it became less and less.”

Ye Lin, on hearing what he meant, his eyes lit up and said, “Do you have it in your hand?”

Xavier looked at him for a long time before nodding slowly, “Yes, when I left, I brought a small bottle of Annual ring nectar. I used to think that if I had a chance to mix into humans, then at least I could watch him grow up slowly after years and years as he grows old until he is thirty years old like humans, and then how it would be better to hide, because there is no lack of secrets to slow down aging in humans. If it is a strong human being, even after a hundred years, it can still maintain the appearance of about thirty years old. This will not arouse human suspicion at all.”

…No wonder, when the protagonist met Xavier, he was about thirty years old.

“You are so thoughtful.”  Ye Lin praised him, “If you didn’t have me, you wouldn’t have enough medicine to hide your ears. Naturally, you wouldn’t be able to go to the human world. If you bring this bottle of stuff, it’s also a vaginal discharge!”

“You are right.”  Xavier admitted readily. He carefully took out a small glass bottle from his arms. This bottle was only Ye Lin’s little finger long, and it was only half of the light green liquid in it. Very pale green, almost transparent, purely without any impurities, “That’s it, it should be enough for the two of us to grow up to the age of twenty.”

Hearing him count them together, Ye Lin was finally comfortable. The corners of his eyes and eyebrows were also stained with smiles. His face is a bit more lethal when he smiles with this beautiful and flawless face. If he was a real twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, he would have been dazzled, but Xavier is not any ordinary teenager, so his green eyes were deep, his expression did not show any uncomfortable expression, at least he didn’t let Ye Lin notice it, until Ye Lin turned his head, he quietly lowered his eyes.

Since Ye Lin learned a little bit of lingua franca, he always went to the town to supply the supplies, because ordinary children who look beautiful and resemble little girls are always cheaper and will not arouse the suspicion of others, even if he looks like those villagers who had never been seen before. They will treat her with enthusiasm for the white hair and black eyes they have never seen before.

After the two ate a simple meal, they set off toward the place where the last material was located. On the way, Xavier couldn’t help but ask: “Your race is still really strange. How can it grow as slowly as an elf? It seems to look like a human …… ”  ∮ ∮ Thinking ∮ ∮ ∮ rabbit ∮ ∮ text file sharing ∮ ∮ ∮ reading lines∮ ∮ read ∮ ∮ ∮ read ∮ ∮

Ye Lin rolled his eyes, “What my race! I am a human!”

“Although I heard that the real nobles of the Lancaster Empire are black-haired and black-eyed, I have seen one from afar, who looks different from you.”  Perhaps because he was about to be able to go out, Xavier was in a particularly good mood. The guy who couldn’t talk a few gossips a day has become so much, “He looks like those ordinary townspeople, but his hair and eyes are black.”

Ye Lin understood. He had heard that the pure-blooded nobles in this world were black-haired and black-eyed. He was also excited, thinking that although the villagers look like the Westerners, the world background is also like the Western swords and magic, but the ruler was an Oriental. Listening to Xavier’s words, he obviously thinks too much. Although those people are also black haired and black eyed, they are not the black hair and black eyes of the Orientals, but the looks of the Westerners. It’s just that the hair color and eye color are black.

Because only pure-bred nobles have black hair and black eyes, Ye Lin changed his hair color to white for fear that it would be too eye-catching after going out, but it still looked conspicuous…

So he curled his lips, “That’s because their blood is not pure anymore!”  It’s like a mixed race with black hair and black eyes, hum!

Thinking about it this way, the sense of loss immediately disappeared, and suddenly it became more comfortable.

Xavier nodded suddenly, “That’s it.”

“Where are we going after we go out?”  Ye Lin quickly changed the subject. If this guy asks what race or blood he is, he really wouldn’t know how to fool him.

Xavier stopped for a moment, “Where to go?” 

Ye Lin frowned, “Have you been thinking about going out for so long, but never thought about where you are going?”

“I’ve never been to the human world.”  Xavier didn’t turn his head, his voice was a little dull. “All I know is from the hunters, the black traders, and the explorers who occasionally enter the deep forest, and also from the records of the elves.”

Ye Lin was speechless, it seems this guy was also a bun who knew nothing about the outside world!

“In terms of our age now, where is the most suitable place?”  Ye Lin glanced at Xavier with contempt. Where could the two children go after going out, “Of course it is school!”

Xavier this time completely stopped, “As for the school, I have heard of two, there was an explorer who boasted about how the school was the best in which the son of his cousin went, something known as the Brabham. There was also a hunter who said that Pin Yipin must send his children to Belisford in the future.”

Ye Lin waved his hand, “Don’t worry about this, you have to find a way after you go out. The problem is, the two of us are the same. If we go out like this, people would think that we must be gangsters. You need to get the household registration first, and then talk about other things.”

Xavier nodded, “I have thought about this, but if I want to go to school, well, I still need to think about it—”  His eyes were dark. The color faded in a flash, but Ye Lin was sideways in thought, never even noticed.

Halfway through Xavier’s words, he suddenly stopped, and made a “hush” gesture towards Ye Lin, and led him to a bush on one side tiptoeing, and as expected, a faint voice came over. That’s why Ye Lin thought that this ally would really be useful sometimes. This guy had always been commendable in terms of his ears and eyesight.

It’s a black dealer! Xavier’s lips told him.

This guy has never missed his judgment in this regard. He has lived in the forest for too long. He only needed to listen to the beginning to judge which category the person belonged to.

Ye Lin nodded, squatting and touching the sword in his hand to his leg and disappeared. There was a gray ring around his right ankle. It was a simple spatial ring, which was originally covered by a black dealer. On the wrist, ordinary black dealers will have such extremely crude spatial items, including rings, bracelets, necklaces, etc., such spatial items are no more than one cubic meter in size at most, and it was very simple to establish contact with them, just a drop of blood. Once the original owner dies, this connection is automatically released, and the space objects immediately become unowned.

In this world, although space items will not be flooded, they are not exceptionally rare things, but the larger the space, the price will double up. The price of ordinary space items used by black dealers was about ten gold coins. Though with the meager net worth of Xavier and Ye Lin, this was already a very valuable thing, and the space of these black dealers often stored some of their gains, which often gave them some unexpected income.

Yes, in the past two years, Xavier and Ye Lin often did nothing but eat black.

It is a pity that this forest is not rich. Very few high-end black traders come here, so their business is not that easy to do.

Black dealers are actually just a general term. They often call themselves merchants. They buy the results of the hunters’ hard work at a very low price. It is common to buy and lower prices. They are interested in everything that could be sold. Ye Lin once heard with his own ears an explorer complaining to his companion that his daughter was abducted by black traffickers. Occasionally, these people will personally go to the forest to find some precious materials and furs. They often hire a whole team of mercenaries. If they ran into a single hunter, the fate of those hunters would often end up miserably.

Seeing and hearing with his own eyes, Ye Lin had no sympathy for these black traffickers a long time ago, and none of them had a thick layer of blood on their hands.

The voice of their words was getting closer and closer, and Ye Lin had already changed his clothes in an instant. Even the simplest set of clothes he pulled out was definitely not ordinary. Not to talk about the texture, just the inlaid accessories were enough to attract people’s attention.

“We’ve walked this road twice! It doesn’t seem to be this direction.”

Xavier entered the scene faster than Ye Lin, and he very much doubted that this guy was not an elf known for his kindness and simplicity.

Well, judging from the facts of this story, this guy is not only incomparable with kindness, it can even be said to be the complete opposite, anti-human and anti-social lunatics who want to destroy the world, how can such a beautiful adjective as kindness be compatible with him?! What was the relationship?

The big merchant of Bit City, Lanny Aschu, was annoyed when he heard this voice. As he was, he didn’t need to go to this deserted place in person. However, this time the customer was too important, and things were even more important. Don’t let anything go wrong, even if he leaves it to his confidant to do, he is not so relieved after all so in the end, he decided to go out in person. Only when he got here, he found out that this place was worse than expected. Lanny, who is used to good food and clothing, has not been able to get good rest for several days.

But out of a businessman’s amazing intuition, as soon as he heard the sound, he immediately motioned to the mercenaries who were chatting in silence, and when they gradually approached, one looked like a beautiful eleven or twelve-year-old girl and another as a beautiful girl in a cloak. The twelve or thirteen-year-old boy with a handsome face suddenly brightened his eyes.

This little girl! He couldn’t help but “hiss” softly, how long has it been since he saw such a good thing!

Although from the extremely arrogant look on her face at this time, the little girl’s temper was obviously not very good but it didn’t matter, there would always be people who would not mind such a small flaw in the goods, after all, such a face was really rare! She had pure black eyes, her hair color was like snow, her skin was white and smooth, her figure was slender and flexible, although she was still young, she had a somewhat peerless beauty, and she looked so distinctive and beautiful!

Well, it seemed that it could be sold at a fairly high price?

Lanny’s eyes suddenly heated up, wait a minute, the boy following her was also not bad! He was caught by the little girl just now. Although the boy looked cowering, he looked good. Many people like this pair of green eyes…

His heart began to quickly calculate that he could patronize. The list of frequent customers of this business, and then a face with a smile full of pleats, and in the most kind and soft voice, said, “Is this lady lost?”

Ye Lin’s face went dark, you are the lady, your whole family is a lady!
