Humans were a special existence in this world.
They didn't have any reproductive isolation with other races.
Thinking about it carefully, this was a wonderful thing.
A Troll and an Elf couldn't produce offspring.
But a Human, regardless of whether he was with a Troll or an Elf, could produce offspring.
Therefore, some human scholars claimed that Humans were the chosen race of God!
Toward this sort of claim, the other races all expressed that it was complete nonsense.
But no matter what, only Humans could reproduce with other races. This was an ironclad fact.
The offspring of Humans and Elves were called Half-Elves. The offspring of Beasts were called Half-Orcs. The offspring of Trolls were called Half-Trolls … and so on.
However, the race that produced the most offspring with Humans was the Elves.
After all, the Elves were more in line with Humans' aesthetics.
As for the Beasts, Trolls, Nagas, and Gnomes, other than warriors with unique tastes, very few Humans could eat them …
Therefore, creatures like half-beastmen and half-trolls were very rare.
But there were many Half-Elves.
They had even formed a new race and built a kingdom.
When the Elves retreated into the Radiant Moon Forest, the Humans occupied the most fertile land in the center of the continent and suppressed the other races. The Half-Elven Kingdom wisely chose to become a vassal of the Radiant Empire.
Because it was located between the Northern Frontier and the Eastern Region of the Empire, the Half-Elven Kingdom and the House of Saint Hilde had a long history of friendship.
Therefore, it wasn't strange for them to appear in Chilly Winter.
But Colin couldn't help but recall the words that the Duke Of St. Hilde said to him when he left Icestone City.
He felt that the Duke had some thoughts about the Half-Elven Kingdom.
Could it be that the arrival of the Half-Elves in Chilly Winter was part of the Duke's plan?
"That's the Silvermoon Guard of the Half-Elven Kingdom. It seems that there are Half-Elven royalty in this team."
Hearing Okamoto's words, Colin pretended to nod.
He didn't recognize the insignia on the armor of the Half-Elven guards.
After all, he was the son of a baron in the countryside and had never seen the exclusive guards of the Half-Elven royalty.
Moreover, there wasn't much useful information about the half-elf kingdom in his previous life.
He only found the name of the half-elf king and the location of the half-elf capital.
The rest of his memories were a bunch of rumors about beautiful half-elf women …
At this moment, this group of Half-Elves had already arrived at the city gate.
A young and beautiful half-elf stepped out of the crowd and came before the guard. She handed over a badge and an invitation letter.
Half-elves were famous for their beauty in this world. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to breed with humans to form a new race.
This young Half-elf clearly came from a large noble family. That kind of reserved, arrogant, and elegant demeanor was simply the exclusive label of a large noble family. It was impossible for an ordinary small noble family to nurture such a person.
She was tall and wore an elegant white robe. Her silk-like silver hair hung straight from her head to her waist.
She had a pair of amber eyes, a delicate nose, pointed ears, and … an Adam's apple!
F * ck!
Only then did Colin come to his senses.
This guy turned out to be a man!
Just as Colin was secretly complaining, Okamoto seemed to have recognized the half-elf: "He should be the second prince of the half-elf kingdom, Tupe Modiwen."
"Do you know him?"
Okamoto shook his head: "I don't know him. However, this is actually not that difficult to guess. "
Colin rolled his eyes as he knew that the troll was ready to show off again.
However, he didn't ask, "How did you guess?"
He didn't want this troll to get what he wanted!
Okamoto waited for a while but Colin didn't ask him any questions. However, he wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, he smiled faintly and explained to himself:
"The only person who is qualified to represent the half-elf royal family to attend Miss Vera's coming of age ceremony must be a direct descendant of the House of Medea. The current half-elf king only has two sons. The eldest son is already more than forty years old.
Therefore, it can only be the second prince. "
"Oh." Colin responded faintly.
Colin's cold response didn't make Okamoto shut up. Instead, he became even more talkative:
"Your Excellency Viscounts, do you know? Prince Tupé is actually not the biological son of the half-elf king. He is actually adopted! "
Colin's interest was piqued.
This was because he suddenly remembered that Vera was also the duke's adopted daughter.
Could it be that Prince Tupé's life was also hiding some strange stories?
However, he still ignored Okamoto.
I don't want you to pretend!
However, Okamoto seemed determined to continue pretending: "You may be curious as to why the half-elf king would adopt another son when he already has one."
Colin didn't speak and continued to hold back.
Okamoto opened his mouth again and continued: "In fact, this is the request of the half-elf Queen Consort.
This is because the current half-elf Queen Consort was remarried after the death of the previous Queen Consort!
But at that time, the half-elf king was already close to seventy years old!
At such an old age, no matter how beautiful the new Queen Consort was, he couldn't make her pregnant with his child.
Therefore, it is said that in order to make up for the new Queen Consort's regret, the king adopted a child from the new Queen Consort's family and became the new Queen Consort's son.
This is the second prince, Tupe. "
Colin blinked. He couldn't help but admire the troll prince beside him. He actually knew so much about the half-elf royal family's gossip.
Therefore, this troll still had the capital to pretend.
Just as Colin was about to ask Prince Okamoto more about the half-elf royal family's gossip, the half-elf noble had already entered the city.
When he saw Colin's team, he walked straight towards them.
After some introductions, Colin discovered that Prince Okamoto's guess was right.
It really was the second prince.
After the three of them exchanged pleasantries, they walked towards the Lion's Roar Castle at the top of the mountain.
The higher they went, the sparser the buildings and fewer the pedestrians.
It was clear that the people living around the Lion's Roar Castle were rich and noble. Ordinary civilians wouldn't come to this height.
After about two hours, everyone finally arrived at the Lion's Roar Castle.
The first thing that came into view was the huge 50-meter-tall golden lion statue that stood in front of the castle. Its angry and roaring posture gave people a strong visual shock.
This huge castle had a total of five floors, arranged in a conical shape, and rose higher with each floor.
The castle's gate was wide open. In addition to the fully armed guards, there was also an old man dressed as a butler.
After seeing Colin's group, the old butler walked out of the door and slightly bowed. He revealed an impeccable smile and said:
"Welcome to the Lion's Roar Castle!"
