chapter 7 husband and wife

"I'm not very clear about the details. That's what happened after I left Sivania." Asu Ruffat hesitated for a moment and finally decided that it would be better to end this way. "I went to Sivania to find someone, but I didn't find it in the end."

"So...you now...dear friend," Cosbody's eyes lit up. "My agreement with you was still valid. If you had nothing to do, why not partner with me? I am running such a big deal now, and I will be very happy to have your help. We can share wealth, freedom and happiness. If our business fails, we can run away together." As he said the last sentence, Cosbody's face was a joke, so Ashu Rufate thought he was just a joke.

"But..." Ashu Rufate was actually completely thinking about the Elf Civil War in his heart. War means chaos or regulation, both of which are not good news for his plan.

"Master, don't worry. No matter what happens, getting a ship and the crew related is not a big problem." Carrie comforted in his mind.

"Ashu Rufate, there is a performance in the theater in the city in the afternoon. Would you like to go and see it with me? Let's stay here for a while and you'll be able to set off." Cosbody noticed Aeshu Rufate's hesitant attitude and immediately changed the topic. "It's actually a performance by the Insider Theatre."

"Insider..." Asu Ruffat suddenly recalled what Cosbody said just now. He was already married. But then again, if Cosbody refuses such a warm invitation, it would seem too outspoken.

"Okay." He smiled.

They spent some time in the restaurant relying on fruits and chatting, mainly because Cosbodie boasted about his experiences over the past few years, especially his experiences with the elves. Ashu Rufate immediately became a loyal listener and tried his best to keep the topic on the experiences of the elves. Cosbodie had been to the elves - no matter what he was doing, it was also useful for Ashu Rufate.

Cosbody was talking about his experiences and experiences going to the Elf Kingdom, and was about the fact that he reached a trade agreement between the two sides in the Elf's port city of the Elf.

"You just said, you met an elf prince?"

"Yes, it's a prince." Cosbody replied proudly. "If my translator didn't lie to me, that prince was carrying a whole team of soldiers. He was responsible for port trade and protecting the personal safety of foreign humans..."

"Will a prince do such a thing?" Ashu Rufate asked with some doubt. In the human kingdom, even in the royal city, the middle-level officials are responsible for such matters. Unless they have the idea of ​​"stepping stone", nobles of famous families usually refuse to hold such an inconspicuous position, let alone a prince.

"Hey, Ashu Rufate, you're using human situations to get elves again." Cosbody laughed. "Among the elves, princes are not rare noble existences. It should be said that the elves 'produce' princes."

"But I heard... Although the lifespan of elves is very long, it is not 'rich', right?"

"The lifespan of elves has nothing to do with this matter. Their fertility is not particularly strong..." Cosbody replied, "Princes are indeed not rare among elves. Too many elves have the title of prince. This is because the elves' kingdom is different from humans, and their kingdom has more than one dynasty."

"There are multiple kings in a country?" Ashu Rufate had to express his surprise.

"Their 'king', 'queen' and so on are usually just one title. There is no fixed relationship between this title and their actual ruling power. You should understand that the elves' kingdom... is divided into multiple different territories, and the rulers of each territory have the title of 'king' or 'prince'. Their descendants can be called 'prince', so there are many elves' princes."

"So that's it... You just said that some of the elves' rulers are kings, and some are princes? Why is this happening? Can't princes be kings? And you just said... the elves are split for the right to inherit the throne?"

"Don't worry, listen to me and tell me slowly. In fact, the biggest difference between the elves' king and the prince is that the king not only actually ruled a territory, but also was an absolute authority and ruler in a certain field." Cosbody noticed Ashrufate's confusion. "For example, the Emerald Queen is the highest authority in history, knowledge and technology among the elves. Her command concentrated the best scholars, craftsmen, recorders, and the most comprehensive and complete technical materials of the elves, history books, etc. In contrast, the Phoenix King is the highest authority in the political and military aspects of the elves, and has full power in the elves' territories, and appointing generals. In short, there is a highest king to rule in everything. If there is a dispute in this matter, then it is right to find that king."

"I understand, so, the so-called battle for the throne..."

"Yes, it was for the throne of the Phoenix King." Cosbody replied. "So you know, it is normal for an elf prince to be a middle-level official. I also heard that there are all troops composed of princes among the elves, and each member has the title of prince. Of course, that is also an elite force among the elves."

"It seems that the prince is not worth it." Ashu Rufate replied with some sigh. It seems that everything is the same, but if there are too many, it will be worth it.

"Then you are wrong again, Ashu Rufate," said Cosbody. "As far as I know, elves pay great attention to bloodlines—a hundred times more than humans. For example, if an elves are not princes, then he doesn't even have the power to command the army."

It was really a mess. Ashu Rufate sighed in his heart. He became suspicious of Carrie's plan. The elf customs are so different from humans. So can his plan to pretend to be an elf and build a ship succeed?

"Ah, the time is almost over, Ashu Rufate, let's go and watch the opera."

The location of the theater is not very far from where they eat, which proves from the side that the restaurant is really superior. Asu Ruffatt accompanied Cosbody to the entrance of the theater - it was obvious that Cosbody was a celebrity in the city, and many people greeted him. Cosbody's face was red and responded one by one.

"Hey, it's a problem to have money." Cosbody turned around and said to Ashu Rufat. "There are too many people who need social engagements, which is really inconsistent with my nature."

That's it, but looking at his joyful and proud look, Ashu Rufate felt that he was just talking casually.

Cosbody has a first-class box in the theater. The two sit together and enjoy a tragedy. This is a story between a knight and a princess. The content mainly tells the story of a knight for the princess, but the knight was originally a couple, but the knight participated in a life-threatening expedition for the country. During this period, the princess fell in love with a hypocrite. Finally, with the support of the princess, the hypocrite tried to murder the knight to seize his status, but was eventually discovered by the knight. The knight killed the hypocrite, angrily denounced the princess' betrayal in anger, and then turned away and went away.

Several male and female actors performed very well, with remarkable musical backgrounds. When the Knight said goodbye to the princess, the farewell song was very touching, and even made Ashu Rufate feel something. Soon, the script progressed to the end. The Knight saw through the trap, and the good and evil sides were about to show off, and the princess stood on the side of evil. Before the end of this scene, Ashu Rufate even heard more than a burst of sighs from the theater.

"The next scene is the end." Cosbody let out a long sigh, with tears in the corner of her eyes. The former professional gambler was actually a sentimental person. "Ashu Rufate, it will take some time to change the scene. Let's smoke a cigarette to refresh yourself." After saying this, Cosbody took a long cigarette pipe on the table, and the high-quality tobacco leaves were stuffed into the cigarette pipe.

"Thank you, I don't smoke." Ash Rufate replied.

"Are you moved, too?"

"I like a few of these songs very much." Ash Rufate replied.

"Do you like this show? What do you think?" Cosbody took a deep breath on the cigarette tube and asked.

"To be honest, I think this is a second-rate script, a first-rate actor, and the top music." Ashu Rufate replied. The bad news during this period has increased his musical level a lot - at least the level of music appreciation has increased a lot. Carrie's teachings are fruitful.

"Haha, this script is indeed from an unknown playwright. But my troupe has the best in the city... no, the best actor in Turan!" Cosbodie. "As for the musicians... As for the musicians... Ashu Rufat, I want to congratulate you on your appreciation and taste. Those musicians, the one who plays the harp, are a real master, a king in music." After saying that, Cosbodie squirted out a large amount of fragrant smoke. "How about it, life here is very good. Every day is full of fine wine, music, singing and dancing, and outings and horse racing. My life is very happy."

"It looks like you are very happy." Ashu Rufate congratulated sincerely.

Cosbody was about to speak when suddenly the sound of a door lock came from the side. A woman pushed open the door and hurried into the private room like a whirlwind.

"Dear, something bad happened... Our musician has something wrong..." The woman shouted anxiously. After halfway through her words, she found that there was another person in the box, so she stopped awkwardly...

"I'll introduce it." Cosbody was a little embarrassed, but he recovered quickly and said to Ashu Rufate. "This is my inner man, named Chris. Kriss," he turned his head and said. "This is my friend, Ashu Rufate. I used to..."

"Ash Rufate?!!!" Chris widened his eyes and looked up and down at the other party. "Gods are here, why are you here?"

"Captain Chris?!" Ashu Rufate also recognized the other party. It is true that this is Chris, the leader of the "Summer Night's Dream" troupe.
