Humans in this world are, in fact, a unique existence.

That’s because they don’t have reproductive barriers with any other race.

Think about it, it’s really a wondrous thing.

A troll and an elf can’t have offspring.

But a human can have offspring with a troll or an elf.

So, some human scholars have argued that humans are the chosen race by gods!

Other races have come forward to declare that this is complete nonsense.

However, the undeniable fact is that only humans can mate with any other race.

The offspring between humans and elves are generally known as half-elves, those with the beast tribe, as half-beasts, and those with trolls, as half-trolls…and so on.

However, the race that has coupled most with humans is the elf race. After all, elves fit humans’ aesthetic appeal.

On the other hand, the races of beasts, trolls, naga, goblins and the likes, barring a few warriors with unique tastes, few humans would find them desirable…

So, the existence of half-beasts and half-trolls are quite rare.

On the contrary, half-elves are quite numerous.

They have even formed a new race and established a kingdom.

When the elf race retreated to the Bright Moon Forest, the humans took over the most fertile lands in the center of the continent, firmly suppressing other races, the half-elf kingdom wisely chose to become a vassal state of the glorious empire.

Because it is located between the northern and eastern territories of the Empire, the half-elf kingdom has a long-standing relationship with the St. Hilde family.

So, their appearance in Winterfell City is not so strange.

But at this moment, Colin couldn’t help but recall the words of Duke St. Hilde when he was leaving Ice Rock City.

He always felt that the Duke seemed to have some ideas about the half-elf kingdom.

Could it be that these half-elves coming to Winterfell City at this time are also part of the Duke’s plan?

“Those are the Silver Moon Guards of the half-elf kingdom; it seems there are members of the half-elf royal family in this unit.”

Hearing Okamoto’s words, Colin nodded pretentiously.

In fact, he did not recognize the badges on the armor of these half-elf guards.

After all, he was just the son of a rural baron before, and had never seen the exclusive guards of the half-elf royal family.

Moreover, he seems to have little useful information about the half-elf kingdom from the memories of his previous lite.

From his memory, he found only the name of the half-elf king and the location of the half-elf capital.

The rest of his memories are filled with rumors about beautiful half-elf women…

At this time, the half-elf unit had already come to the city gate.

A beautiful young half-elf came out of the crowd, went to the guard, and handed over a badge and an invitation letter.

The beauty of half-elves in this world is legendary, otherwise, they wouldn’t have managed to hybridize with humans and create a new race.

This young half-elf is clearly from the high nobility, her reserved, proud, and elegant demeanor, is an exclusive label of high nobility, it’s impossible for a small noble family to cultivate it.

She is tall, clad in a plain white robe, and her silver hair, like silk, falls straight down to her waist.

She has amber eyes, a delicate nose, pointed ears, and…an Adam’s apple!

Damn it!

At this moment, Colin realized.

This person is actually a man!

While Colin was silently scoffing in the background, Okamoto seemed to have recognized this half-elf: “He should be Prince Topaz Modewen, the second prince of the half-elf kingdom.”

“You know him?”

Okamoto shook his head: “Don’t know. However, it’s not hard to guess.” Colin rolled his eyes, knowing that this troll prince was about to start showing off again.

However, he refused to ask “how did you guess?”

He simply wouldn’t let the troll have his way!

Okamoto waited for a while without getting a question from Colin. He didn’t seem embarrassed in the slightest. Instead, he smiled slightly and explained on his own:

“Those who are eligible to represent the Half-Elf Royal Family to attend Miss Vera’s coming-of-age ceremony must be direct descendants of the Modewen family. The current Half-Elf King only has two sons, and the eldest son is already in his forties; too old to match the age.

So, it can only be the second prince.”

“Oh.” Colin responded nonchalantly.

Colin’s cool response didn’t silence Okamoto; instead, he started talking even more:

“Your Lordship, do you know? Prince Topaz is actually not the biological son of the Half-Elf King, but an adopted child!”

This peaked some interest in Colin.

Because he thought of Vera, who was also adopted by the Duke.

Does the story of this Prince Topaz also hold some bizarre twists?

Still, he chose to ignore Okamoto.

Just to prevent you from showing off!

But it seemed like Okamoto was determined to keep going: “You might be curious, why would the Half-Elf King adopt another son when he already has

Colin kept silent, still holding back.

Okamoto spoke again, continuing: “Actually, this was a request from the Half-Elf Queen.

Because, the current Half-Elf Queen became queen after the death of the previous queen; she was King’s second wife!

But by then, the Half-Elf King was already almost seventy!

At such an age, even if the new queen was incredibly beautiful, he couldn’t get her pregnant.

So, it is said to make up for the new queen’s regret, the king adopted a child from her family and treated him as her child.

And that would be Prince Topaz, the second prince.”

Colin blinked, and had to admire the troll prince beside him who seemed to know all the ins and outs of the Half-Elf Royal Family.

This troll, it seemed, truly had a knack for showing off.

Just as Colin was ready to dig into a little more gossip about the Half-Elf Royal Family, the Half-Elf nobleman had already entered the city.

Upon noticing Colin’s group, he walked towards them.

After the introduction, Colin found that Prince Okamoto was indeed right.

It really was the second prince.

After exchanging pleasantries, the trio went to Lion Roar Castle located at the peak together.

The higher they ascended, the thinner the buildings and people became.

Apparently, those living around Lion Roar Castle were either wealthy or noble; ordinary citizens could hardly make it to this height.

About two hours later, they finally arrived near the Lion Roar Castle.

The first thing that caught their eye was the fifty-meter tall giant golden lion statue standing directly in front of the castle; its roaring pose created a strong visual impact.

This massive castle had five levels both inside and out, arranged in a cone shape, with each level stacked taller than the last.

The castle gates were wide open. Apart from the fully armed guards at the gate, there was also an old man dressed as a butler.

Once he saw Colin’s group, the old butler came out of the gate and bowed slightly, revealing an impeccable smile, loudly saying:

“Welcome to Lion Roar Castle!”
