The elven kingdom of Armenia.
Among the existing elven kingdoms in Lost Land, it is the most powerful country.
This kingdom claims to have inherited from the former Elf Empire, and according to its Zhengshuo, who possesses the artifacts of the old empire, it should be the co-lord of all the Elf in the Lost World. This sentence is both correct and incorrect, because the five existing kingdoms all claim this, and they all have their proofs.
In fact, of the five existing elven kingdoms, except for one that has been changed, the other four kingdoms trace their origins, and their royal bloodlines are indeed derived from the imperial bloodline of the elven empire. The artifacts each possesses are indeed one of the proofs that the elven empire ruled the world in the past.
However, the disintegration of the Elf Empire was slightly different from that of the Dwarf Empire. The Silverbeard dwarves were betrayed by all the clans, and the dwarf royal family thought very highly of themselves. They packed up their belongings and ran away with an attitude of "I won't play with you anymore." This was the end of the dwarf empire.
The situation of the Elf Empire can be simply described in four words, that is, 'brothers separate families'. Everyone wants to take the lead, but no one accepts the problem, so they simply break up the team. After this dismantling, the elves no longer had the greatest strength, so various races took advantage of the opportunity to rise up and escape from control, forming the subsequent pattern. The empire is no longer an empire.
Then the former younger brother wanted to become the master. How could the elves endure it, and years of war began. Although not all of them were necessarily the protagonists of the war, in the end, only five elven kingdoms were left that could survive to this day. The arrogance of the elves and the covetousness of outsiders have made the national policy of the elven kingdom tend to be closed in order to protect its people.
But the Armenian Elf Kingdom is more open than other Elf Kingdoms.
On the Lost World, in addition to the Elf Kingdom, there are also many countries that choose the policy of seclusion. But Suo Guo is not completely cut off from contact with the outside world. After all, some materials may not be produced in our own land and must be imported from abroad. Without these things, it will cause trouble for specific powerful people, such as magicians, nobles, etc., so they still have to trade with outsiders.
Therefore, the foreign trade method of such countries is to do transactions with designated people in designated places. Basically, foreign trade is dominated by countries that implement seclusion policies.
However, the Armenian Elf Kingdom allows outside chambers of commerce to enter, and these merchants each select trading partners to cooperate with. The attitude towards travelers is also much more relaxed than other elven kingdoms. But for adventurers and mercenaries who travel around and are lawless, the entry permit system of the Elf Kingdom and the inspections that may be encountered at any time within the country will be quite troublesome and inconvenient.
At least, for someone who wants to obtain legal status in the Armenian Elf Kingdom, waiting at the border post seems a bit helpless.
Lin, wearing a black Xuanwu robe, was sitting alone outside the checkpoint on the border, looking at the long queue of people, his face full of impatience. Although I say I have a net worth of less than a few hundred thousand a minute, I have a lot of things to do at hand, and this is not the time to leisurely wait in line. But... so what?
If you don’t want to cause trouble, you have to obey the rules. Although doing this is not the most efficient way for me; but if we consider it from an overall perspective, it takes up a little more time for everyone, and the result is a more efficient overall result. So it is not difficult to understand how these people in power will make choices.
Although someone was lining up calmly, he had not considered how conspicuous he was among the general crowd. A formal magician and the peculiarity of the Xuanwu robe are difficult for adventurers or caravan guards with a little knowledge to ignore. Especially the face, the skinny appearance that resembles a skeleton, cannot be explained by being regarded as a necromancer.
Sure enough, someone who was lining up peacefully was invited by a small team of elf warriors to wait in another quiet room.
Although there are no windows around, there is only one guarded door, but at least there are seats here. Lin sat down with peace of mind and waited for the outpost officials from the Kingdom of Armenia.
As for the slight magic fluctuation, it is probably a remote surveillance magic similar to the Arcane Eye. Lin ignored this level of monitoring, opened the water mirror screen, and continued his unfinished algorithm design work. As long as it is related to the World Tree, nothing is simple. The same goes for the algorithm used for World Tree. There are too many special cases that need to be handled in order for it to work smoothly.
The waiting time was not long, and the program code had not been typed for more than two paragraphs. An elf wearing a robe and appearing to have a higher status came into the room with two soldiers and sat face to face with Lin. As for the other two, they stood behind that one like the second general of Hengha.
The visitor was quite polite. After bowing, he took out a pen and paper and asked, "Your Majesty the Magician, please give me your name."
"Gablash Tripwood. Magician rank." Lin pointed to a golden thread on his chest.
Upon first hearing this name, the elf in front of me thought it sounded familiar, so he asked one more question: "The inventor of the browser?"
Lin smiled and said, "It's me."
There was no imaginary scene of the celebrity meeting his fans, nor did he surprise the elf opposite. He just went about business and recorded the data from the inquiry. He continued to ask: "Excuse me, your destination for coming to the kingdom?"
"Sending letters of credence on behalf of the King of the Elf Kingdom of Paiyathaime, Ridan III."
Maybe thousands of years ago, the elves separated because of the bad blood between brothers, but things are not what they used to be. In order to resist various means of aggression from humans, the intimacy between the elven kingdoms is now quite high. Therefore, the credentials from Pyatt Jaime are more useful than anyone else's letter of introduction.
However, it is not true that anyone who claims to send credentials will be treated politely. At least as a human being, when he sent something like this, the first thing Lin got was three suspicious looks. The leader of the elf said respectfully: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, it is not the norm for the kingdom to use a human as a messenger. Do you have any proof? Or can you allow us to see the seal?"
Lin took out a small silk bundle from his arms. After opening it, he took out a letter.
The material of the letterhead is a kind of straw paper made of special material, which is not damaged by water or fire. But after pouring a unique potion or activating some kind of magic, the letter will melt away in the blink of an eye. This is the unique method of sending messages to elves. Because it is used by the royal family, there is a faint royal pattern mark on the letterhead, and a gentle and elegant fragrance can be smelled.
The fire paint on the letterhead is a kind of sealing wax mixed with perkin, which is a magical material. The formula of sealing wax is different for each elf family, and the slightly emitted power perception is therefore different. It can be said to be a very special method of distinguishing families. If the elves had not used the special techniques to open the letter, the magic attached to the fire paint would have destroyed the letter to protect the secret in the letter.
As for the marks on the fire paint, it can be regarded as a very conventional identification method. The letterhead brought by Lin had the imprint of crossed mimosa on the paint, and was surrounded by a circle of elven secret texts. The content of the text is translated as 'Inherited to this day, the golden seal of destiny'. The Golden Seal is the artifact of the Elf Kingdom of Paiyat Jaime, inherited from the former empire.
As soon as he saw this letter, the elf official opposite immediately believed it. This thing is not so easy to copy.
He took the letter respectfully, turned over the back, and checked the mark on the lacquer. From time to time, he whispered to the warrior behind him and whispered in Elvish: 'Is this true? ''It should be true. I saw The Mark of Jaime Pyatt when I was younger, and that's exactly what it was. ''Don't know what the content is? ''Don't worry about things that aren't our business! ''Just why should a human deliver the message? Did he steal the letter? Did he have other intentions? '
The three elves were chattering, and Lin pretended not to understand the elven language and just sat across from them and giggled. Although the three people opposite had many doubts, they did not dare to open the letter and read the contents.
Not to mention whether you will see some secrets that you shouldn't see, it has nothing to do with knowing how to open letters. If this letter is a trap, magic will be activated the moment it is opened, and they will be fooled. They don't want to be regarded as a scapegoat. After it is returned to the country, there will naturally be specialized people checking for such traps. Their mission at the border post is just to check the authenticity.
Seeing that there was nothing suspicious about the letter, the elf officials turned to someone and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Magician. Although we can confirm that this letter should be authentic, but human beings are The matter of the messenger is too incredible for the kingdom. I wonder if you have any other proof that you can prove that you are indeed the messenger of Pyat Jaime?"
Faced with such a request, Lin was a little helpless. Just because I have neither good looks nor pointed ears, I should be questioned about this. However, considering that he planned to be polite before fighting, it was impossible to fall out here. Thinking of his other identity, he didn't know if it was useful, but Lin still showed his behind and said, "I am still a member of the Turtle Dove Alliance. Can this prove it?"
On the back of the magician's shawl, in addition to a three-headed monkey totem representing Tripwood, there is also an additional three-feathered bird totem with gold thread and black background and blue eyes embroidered to represent someone's core membership in the Turtle Dove Alliance. , which is different from the black line colorless three-feathered bird totem of ordinary members. It's just that the height of this core is as high as Gaozao himself. This is the part that outsiders cannot know.
As for the identity of the core member of the Turtle Dove Alliance, although it can explain that someone has an unusual relationship with the elves, at least he is appreciated by a certain high-ranking member of the alliance, and it is also proof of trust. But the elf official in front of him couldn't help but frown and murmured in a low voice: "Ikaruga Alliance."
