Chapter 335: Three Letters

Translator: Lonelytree

This was really regrettable.

The brocade phoenix flower was a type of bright yellow or orange flower.

In the early summer, it covered every corner of the Jade Court.

The Wood Elves used its roots to make medicine. After boiling it with water and taking it, it was said to be able to cure all diseases.

I tried it, and it really worked. It didn’t even hurt much when it came.

I like this flower even more now, and at the same time, I’m also interested in the ‘phoenix’ in the flower’s name.

Tarani told me that humans have a huge misunderstanding about phoenixes. They always confuse ” phoenixes ” with ” immortal birds “, but they are actually two different creatures.

Thousands of years ago, the wood elves had summoned a divine phoenix from the east in the previous generation’s palace.

The Divine Phoenix had incredible power and compassion that could save all living beings. (Note: The word “compassion” is in the elven language. I couldn’t find a similar word in the common language of humans. I hope it’s not because I wasn’t serious in language class. This should be a word from the East. If there’s any mistake, please criticize me.)

At that time, the Divine Phoenix had been seriously injured. The Wood Elf had let it recuperate in the city and take good care of it.

A few hundred years later.

Only then did the Divine Phoenix recover.

After that, he became the patron saint of the wood elves.

According to records, the Divine Phoenix had protected the Elven Court for a thousand years.

When he left, he said to the wood elves,

“My homeland is being invaded by demons. I have to go back and lend them a hand.’

With that, he spread his wings and flew away, disappearing into the eastern sky.

After the flames fell to the ground, they ignited a plant called the brocade flower by the roadside, burning a brand new brocade phoenix flower.

The Wood Elves believed that the brocade phoenix flower represented the blessing of the Divine Phoenix.

Therefore, even after the change of the royal court, these plants were still planted all over the city walls.

This was truly a romantic story.

Every year at this time, the elven couples would make a wish to the Phoenix Flower on the city wall. That scene was actually very beautiful.

If not for the Scar of the Dead that ruined the mood.

I used the method you taught me to be honest with Tarani.

But she was a very stubborn person.

She promised that she wouldn’t force me and would give me freedom, but she still came to look for me from time to time.

She was really domineering.

There were a few times when she wanted to secretly kiss my face. After I rejected her, she wanted to force herself on me. Fortunately, I was strong enough, so she never succeeded.

But most of the time, she still respected me.

With Tarani’s presence, I didn’t suffer any more harassment during class or between classes.

However, I soon realized that I had become completely alone.

Except for Tarani.

None of the elves wanted to talk to me.

The teachers were the same.

They avoided me as much as they could after completing their duty in class.

This feeling of being isolated by everyone was really terrible.

More and more, I felt that it was a mistake to listen to my father’s advice and come here to study.

After two months of hard work.

My dance is still in first place. My swordsmanship was still ranked last.

It was no different from two months ago.

Well, there was still a difference. Yesterday, I realized that I had gained a pound. Perhaps it was because I had eaten too much elf barbecue recently.

I’m afraid I’ll have to eat vegetarian for half a year to offset the debt of eating meat for the past two months.

Matthew.

I miss Rolling Stone Town.

Yesterday, when I was writing to my father, mother, and brothers, I secretly cried a few times.

I want to say to my father:

” Take me back. I don’t want to learn the Elven Sword Chant anymore.” I want to tell my mother:

” Please persuade Father. I’d rather go home and study oriental embroidery with you than continue to dance with a thick chest wrap.”

However, in the end, what was written on the paper was nothing more than ” I’m doing well here, dancing is my forte, and I’m also very good at swordsmanship.”

I know father spent a lot of money.

Part of it is my future dowry.

I can’t waste too much of our family’s money.

So I can’t give up halfway.

But this is really difficult, Matthew. I can’t hold on much longer.

Who can tell me how to learn a sword technique that will cause adverse effects if the posture deviation exceeds 2 centimetres?

At this point…

The green dragon outside the city was shouting again.

I’m so annoyed by that Fattina.

She should be fighting with the elves’ Shadow Leopard Troop and Windseeker Troop. Tarani said that she was very cunning and wouldn’t attack the city easily, but I was still a little afraid.

The Astrologer Society had announced that this year would be the year when the giant dragons would be active.

That was a giant dragon.

Every time I imagined the image of a dragon in my mind, I would feel especially small.

Jade Court is really not a good place.

If it was Rolling Stone Town, there definitely wouldn’t be such a terrifying thing as a dragon, right?

It must be.

This is all I can write in this letter. Tomorrow is the swordsmanship test. If I can barely pass it, then I can go and learn the magic of the sword chant.

I hate swordsmanship.

However, I am looking forward to the spell called ” Summon Pet.”

I heard that after learning it, I can summon a messenger for myself. This way, it will be very convenient to communicate with Rolling Stone Town.

Right, at the end of the letter, I want to ask you for a favour.

Although it’s hard to say, I haven’t received a reply to the letter I sent home last time. I’m not sure if my father and mother have received my letter. I can only hope that you…

My chest cloth wears out very quickly during practice and is now completely used up.

The wood elves don’t have a size suitable for me.

No one was willing to help me change it.

I hope you can go to a clothing store in Rolling Stone Town called ” Ruth Tailor ” and buy some for me. Buy a few more, silk ones, size S8.

I hid a piece of gold paper in the envelope, which should be enough to cover the cost.

Please!

Matthew.

- Your Beanna, May 2nd, Jade Court.

After reading it.

Matthew was silent for half a minute.

A moment later.

He called Peggy from the kitchen. “Do you know anything about chest wraps?” Peggy proudly puffed out her chest.

“Of course. After all, my breasts are very big!”

Matthew nodded and said,

” Then help me buy a few. Remember to buy them in silk. The size is S8.”

Peggy looked at Matthew in surprise.

Then…

She asked hesitantly,

“How do you know my size?

“And you want to buy me a chest wrap?!

“Am I being too explicit?”

In the morning.

Matthew had just entered the Lord Main Hall and was about to share Lorraine’s news with the other two when Rheagar announced,

“The war has begun!”
