She Is Not a Witch Chapter 267: An accident at the exchange meeting
When Lorraine Hill was gradually familiarized with the characters of the major factions under the guidance of Westena, Yasara, the initiator of this exchange meeting, finally came out to give a speech.
"Welcome everyone to the 'Pelican Corolla'. Now is the season for blue-line whitebait fishing, and I will present you with delicious food and beverages. I hope you will like it."
An elf wearing a gold-rimmed robe with a green background walked up to the podium on the second floor and spoke to the people below. At this time, the hall quickly fell silent.
After a brief speech and introduction, the exchange meeting also officially started. The invited scholars began to go to the podium on the second floor to talk about some recent achievements and discoveries in accordance with the predetermined order. Guests stand or sit in the lobby on the first floor, listening quietly, and occasionally speaking and asking questions.
These achievements and discoveries are distributed in a wide range of fields. In addition to the traditional agriculture, extraordinary sequences, technology, and enchanting, there are also some theories about politics and philosophy.
Sitting at the small round table with Vestana, Lorraine Hill felt a little sigh in his heart when he heard the cutting-edge achievements of these elves.
Spirit elves are not as closed and conservative as outside humans imagine, turning a blind eye to the iterations of various technologies and developments. On the contrary, compared with humans, because they have a good academic research environment, abundant time and energy, they can be more To explore a field in depth.
Of course, it cannot be said that there are no shortcomings at all, that is, these achievements tend to be idealized, or a little far away, and deviate from the actual application.
This is like designing a tank. Although the data and structure on paper are perfect, it is difficult to pick out the fault, but it lacks the actual test on the battlefield, dust contamination, wear and tear, severe weather and environment Use, security and key protection in fierce battles, and so on.
After many things are designed, they often have to be used in various environments, and then iteratively improved after feedback before they can gradually reach the point of practicality and perfection.
The population of the elves is small after all, and the living environment is relatively stable and single. Unlike today's human empire, there are wars everywhere, and all kinds of technologies will be tested directly and cruelly on the battlefield. If one fails, it will be eliminated. .
Sometimes being too precise is actually a disadvantage, because the more delicate things are often easily damaged, the failure of any one of them will lead to a discount in the final effect.
"...So, the morning exchange meeting is over here, let's take a break first, how about continuing after lunch?"
When the time gradually reached noon, the host came out to adjust the overly quiet atmosphere, and the hall became lively again.
Indeed, after the bombardment of various academic achievements and discoveries, everyone urgently needs a period of time to digest and resolve at this time.
Then the sound of lively conversation resounded in the hall again, and at this time the waiters also brought various foods and placed them on the long table in the middle for everyone to take at will.
Eating and chatting lively.
"Come and eat something, Jialan, I'm probably hungry by now." Westena greeted Lorraine Hill.
"The blue-lined silverfish here has a special effect. It can remove some of the toxins accumulated in the body and make people healthier and younger. Although it is not very useful for young people, some elderly elves and humans are especially good. I like it." As she said, Vestana pointed to a small elongated fish placed on a plate on the table.
Even though the scales have been removed, the appearance of these small fish still reflects a beautiful silver-blue brilliance, which is very attractive.
Under Westena's suggestion, Lorraine Hill couldn't help being curious, and took a small fish with a fork and put it on a plate.
"It's really uneducated, how can there be humans here." Before Lorraine Hill tasted it, a mocking voice pierced his ears.
The conversation around the long table seemed to be quieter in an instant. Some elves turned their eyes around, and some people realized that this seemingly beautiful girl did not have pointed ears, but a human being.
Focused by so many gazes, the girl's mood dropped instantly. Although she couldn't bear such gazes, she was still somewhat disappointed.
Grain
A figure stood in front of Lorraine Hill, it was Westena.
"Sabrina, you are just a guest, and you are so disrespectful when you speak. Is this your upbringing?"
"Heh, I wonder who it is, it's Vesthena from the countryside, didn't you go to Emenas to curry favor with those humans, why are you still free to come back, is it because you are afraid that others will forget you as a character? ?” Sabrina shook her folding fan, and looked at Vestana contemptuously.
"Ah, is this Vestana?"
"I heard that she is one of the newly promoted sages after the mutation, and the Queen also trusts her very much."
"However, she lived at the edge of the forest when she was a child, and many habits are similar to humans."
"Does she still remember the elegance of the elves?"
"Isn't this a bit bad, after all, at the banquet, people directly said that..."
The elves present were talking a lot, some were mocking, some were not commenting, some were sympathetic, there were all kinds of voices, and there were all kinds of thoughts and scrutiny in their eyes, looking at both sides.
"Oh, so in your eyes, I am such an image, that is really an honor, I thought you would say that the queen has no eyes, that many elves and sages were deceived by me, and it was the dereliction of duty of the emerald flower cage. The sage Menas will get moths." Vestana said indifferently.
"So, our Lord Sabrina, what is there to say about you? Did you get excellent grades in school in the past? Is it the pride of evading responsibility after making troubles when you were young and not being discovered? Or the previous three years? I learned to walk when I was young."
"With all due respect, it is ashamed and disturbing that a person like you who has no academic education and achievements dares to eat at the table. I feel uncomfortable and wronged by those who have made contributions, what did they do wrong, and they still have to sit at the same table with people like you."
"What a shame."
Language was like a blade, like a sharp sword, piercing into the heart of the elf woman holding a golden folding fan, causing her face to change in shock, her mouth opened slightly, but she was speechless in a daze.
All of a sudden, the hall fell silent, and those who wanted to read a joke immediately shut their mouths, for fear that this sharp-tongued elf sage would target them with firepower.
"Okay, this gathering was called by Master Asara after all, everyone should enjoy lunch and don't embarrass that master."
Just as the banquet gradually fell into an embarrassing environment, a graceful and elegant elf woman finally stood up and spoke, and with her peace, the hall slowly regained its vitality, and everyone gradually continued to eat. It's just that at this time, no one is talking about the two parties just now.
Seeing that the atmosphere was slowly recovering, the elf woman nodded slightly, first to appease Sabrina who was suffering from a face-stricken face, and then turned around ~IndoMTL.com~ and slowly approached Vestena here.
"It's been a long time, Vestana, I didn't expect your words to be so sharp. This reminds me of when I went to the Emerald Flower Cage to watch the ceremony that year, you were also so powerful, defeating many of your peers, It was praised by the sages at that time."
"Long time no see, Your Majesty Marantha." Vestana nodded slightly, first returning the salute, and then slowly answering.
This elven lady named Marantha is much older than Vestana. When she just graduated, she was already one of the fifteen seats in the Emerald Court.
After a few simple and polite reminiscences between the two, Marantha finally turned the topic to the girl next to Vestana.
"So, who is this honorable adult? I don't remember you having such a powerful student."
Speaking, the elf lady looked at Lorraine Hill with a smile, so that the latter had to walk out from behind Vestana, facing the scrutinizing and surprised eyes.
