They walked a long way and entered a restaurant with a very beautiful appearance. The restaurant was magnificent, with pillars painted in gold, and the decorative lines painted in gold, and even the armrests and legs of the easy chairs for people to sit in gold. At a glance, a few waiters who had been trained were wearing white uniforms and politely provided service to the two.

Ashu Rufat remembers that when Cosbodie lived in Mir City as a professional gambler, he was used to living in good living, eating and drinking. Now it seems that this hobby has been further strengthened. The table in front of Ashu Rufat was soon filled with fine wine and delicacies.

Among the dishes, the most eye-catching thing is a huge lobster. The body of the lobster was cut into small pieces, but it was cleverly pieced together to form its original appearance. They were matched with the lobster, a grilled lamb leg that was just right, a few roasted birds (which were probably a skylark), and two fish that Ashu Rufate didn't recognize.

"Don't worry." Cosbody noticed Ashu Rufate carefully observing the dishes and laughed. "Dear friend, this store belongs to my industry - part of the industry under my name. You can enjoy it as much as you want without worrying about the bill."

"Cosbody, I remember, we're less than three years since we last met...?" Asu Ruffat asked. Most of the puzzle on his face was real.

"Three years can change a lot of things," Cosbody was a little proud. "When a person's fate changes, it only takes three days. Do you still remember what happened when we broke up?"

Ashu Rufa nodded. When the breakup was over, Ashu Rufat and Cosbodie divided the trophy they received from the casino evenly. For an ordinary person, it was indeed a fortune, but with the pomp and consumption level shown by Cosbodie now, Ashu Rufat felt that the money would be spent within a month.

"After we broke up," Cosbody did not seem to intend to hide the process. "I joined a caravan. Of course I was just for safety, but at the destination, the caravan owner encountered a problem. The pepper, cinnamon and saffron he carried in the caravan actually encountered a sluggish situation. This made him very worried. In the position of a kind and kind person, I used the money in my hand to buy all his sluggish goods. But a month later, after the unlucky businessman left, the prices of these spices suddenly soared!"

Cosbody's face was full of pride. Ashu Rufat speculated that it was probably the lucky gambler who got the relevant information from some channel, so he made a lot of money based on the principle of "not making money without making money". However, from a business perspective, everything Cosbody did was reasonable and there was nothing worthy of criticism. If the unlucky caravan wanted to blame, he could only blame himself for his lack of vision and vision.

It is estimated that during that speculation, Cosbody's capital had increased at least three or five times. But this does not explain why he looks like this now.

"Then I came to this city." Cosbody approached Eshurufat and said in a mysterious voice. "After that successful business transaction, I felt that I had some talent for doing business. In order not to let this talent be lost, I tried it again, so... Luckily once again favored me."

"What kind of luck?" Ashu Rufate asked while eating. Although he no longer needs ordinary food, he did not mind giving himself a keen sense of taste and smell to feel the delicious food, and at the same time speculating on how these foods are made.

"Dandork has always been an important hub for the trade between humans and elves," Kosbodie said softly. "It mainly imports various precious handicrafts from elves, several special metals that are rare in the human world, and some specialties of the elves. I took all my assets from a small chamber of poor management and started to participate in the trade, but because I was not familiar with the situation, I stocked up a lot of goods... Unexpectedly..."

"I didn't expect it?"

"I didn't expect the elves to have a civil war!" Cosbody replied with a gaze.

"Civil War?!!" Ashu Rufate's reaction was much stronger than normal, but Cosbody didn't notice it. Of course, even if he noticed it, he wouldn't care. "So I made a lot of money all at once! So I took the opportunity to buy many stores in the city, and then bought their real estate from several nobles who were in urgent need of cash. Finally, relying on my eloquence, I finally established a trade relationship with the elves again. So you see, I am now married, I have the privilege of operating the entire chamber of commerce and many countries, and I have a trade channel with the elves. I have an income of 30,000 gold coins a year, which is considered a small achievement."

"Haha, I heard that money makes people rich and free. It seems that you have it." Ashu Rufate looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was unconsciously showing a little anxiety. "By the way, you just said, the elves had a civil war? No wonder I didn't see an elves in the city all the way."

"This has nothing to do with civil war. Ashurufat, you use the human point of view to judge the behavior of the elves... In humans, trading between the two places means that both sides gather together to do business. But elves are not like this. They are an unpredictable race. Although the elves have long and slim appearance and beautiful faces, they are too unpredictable. The elves call themselves Yasuul, which means "star people" in their language. In short, elves rarely get involved in human land, and they look down on humans. Although we are trading, it is just that human merchants are busy at both ends. There are very few professional merchants among the elves, and even I have seen them so far."

"By the way, what's going on with the Elf's Civil War."

"The civil war is not very suitable, or rather, the war between the Divine Martial Elf and the Dark Elf." Cosbody inserted a napkin. At this time, the main dish, that is, the lobster, had been eaten, and there were not many roasted lamb legs and skylarks left. It must be said that Ashu Rufate was actually just trying the taste, while Cosbody was feasting - his appetite had increased significantly, just like his figure.

"I've heard that elves seem to split into... two countries..."

"Actually, this is not that simple." Cosbody began to show off his knowledge. "But to explain this from head to toe, it would probably take a thick encyclopedia. In fact, according to my opinion, it was actually a battle for the throne that occurred within the elves, which eventually split into two factions."

"Warning for the throne?" To be honest, this kind of thing is common in the human world. However, usually, this kind of battle in the human world will quickly decide the winner. If the winner cannot be decided quickly, it usually means that it will lead to the intervention of third parties and eventually destroy the country - at least weaken it.

"Well, on the basis of the dispute over the inheritance of the throne, there must be disputes between religion and values. In short, it is a pot of congestion. Various opposing forces within the country took advantage of the opportunity of the throne to make a general liquidation. So, they eventually split into two countries. One is right next to us, where we trade with me, we call them Shenwu elves, or simply elves. The other side is much more dangerous. They live on another desolate continent across the vast sea, and we call them Dark elves. This name is not for nothing!"

"What's the meaning?"

"Although the Shenwu elves look down on humans, they can finally tolerate the existence of humans. In their cities, if a human can follow their rules, at least not be in danger of life. As long as you are decent and polite, they will not even refuse to talk to you. And the Dark Elf...there are only two ways of talking to humans, whip and sword! I heard," Cosbody's voice mixed with a hint of uneasiness. "The Dark Elf often attacks the coastal areas, plunder all ships they encounter, and captures people from the entire village and even towns as slaves."

"It's impossible, there seems to be no such rumors..."

"The official blocked the news to avoid causing large-scale panic. And I heard that the dark elves were very cruel, and they usually dared to resist and kill them... So not many victims survived to identify them. Besides, no one could figure out whether the dark elves were attacking, and some pirates were similar."

"So what targeted measures are the official going to take?"

"There is no way. The elves are good at sailing. Their ships are completely different from ours. They are very fast. If our ships encounter elves warships on the sea, they cannot fight and cannot escape, and they can only wait for death. You know, I don't know how many pirates have tried to attack elves' land... trying to plunder... I have seen it myself..." When Cosbody said this, his eyes unconsciously looked around, "The sea confrontation between elves and humans. A warship of the Shenwu Elves easily defeated a team of pirates, and the number comparison was one pair of twelve. As a result, only one of the twelve pirates could escape from the sky, and the rest were all fed to fish. This was not a battle of the same level."

"It's really that awesome?"

"Believe me, my friend, that's what I saw with my own eyes... The elves, although they look beautiful and elegant, have a cold and cruel side." Cosbody seemed to be recalling the scene at that time, because he couldn't help but shivering. "Fortunately, I was on the elves' boat at that time, as their friend...watching."

This memory may have affected Cosbody's appetite, and he ate significantly slowed down the pace of his subsequent meals. The hearty lunch soon entered the final stage. To be more specific, the waiter took away all the main courses and placed the fresh fruit in the center of the table. Cosbody picked up a red, rounded fruit and took a big bite. As he chewed, the sweet smell of the fruit filled the air.

How happy she would be if Mimilu was here. Ashu Rufat also picked up a fruit and thought sadly.

"By the way, Ashu Rufat, I've forgotten, why are you here? You're now..." Cosbody asked while eating.

"It's still the same." Ashu Rufat replied lightly.

"Although he's a wandering mercenary? Oh, I heard that there was a great war against vampires in Sivania."
