Legend of the Elven Investigator

Chapter 168



In the elevator, the atmosphere gradually fell into a strange stalemate.

Wayne looked down at the city with tall buildings outside the transparent glass, with inexplicable emotions in his eyes.Since Wayne, the host, did not speak, the two of them stood on the other side of the elevator and subconsciously distanced themselves.

"Is this the first time you two have come to Curtain City?" Wayne asked suddenly, seeming to mean something.

"Indeed, we've only just arrived here today, and we haven't even had time to look around yet."

"Can I ask you a question, a simple question, what do you think of this city? I would like to hear the opinions of outsiders. I have been in this city for too long, so long that I can no longer see what the city really looks like."

Wayne's words are very interesting, why would he want to see what Veil City looks like in the eyes of outsiders?
"Curtain City is indeed the most amazing city in our travels. How can I say this? This is the most human city." After pondering for a while, Zhenping said.

The farther you are from the ground and the higher you stand, the more you can feel the shock of the city.The urban layout of Veil City is like a chessboard, each uniform block is divided into one block after another by the accessible road.

And ants-like vehicles, large and small, travel between the chessboards in groups, giving people the illusion that the city is alive.

At a glance, there are towering human buildings at the end of the line of sight.Perhaps because they have come to the east of Sinnoh, the mountains have faded away, and the famous east coast of Sinnoh is in the distance that cannot be seen by sight.

Wayne was also thinking about what Shinpei said, and he murmured in a low voice, "Is it the most human? What an interesting description."

"Veil City is a young and ancient city. The earliest pioneers came here to establish the city. Generations of people built this city, and they made Veil City better. Later, my father even built a public rail transit system that runs through the entire city, connecting everyone in the city closely!"

Glancing at the jumping red number on the screen, when it reached the number 120, the rising elevator finally stopped.

The elevator door opened slowly, and Wayne walked straight across the mirror-smooth marble floor, and leaned easily on a leather swivel chair.

"What would you two like to drink? Wine or coffee?"

Wayne raised his eyebrows, and a mahogany cabinet behind him displayed many specially stored liquors.It was only then that Shinpei noticed that the space on this floor was much higher than the floor downstairs, and the height of the wine cabinet reached the ceiling, about five meters high.

In the spacious space of thousands of square meters, a metal desk was placed alone in front of the bookcase. The floor seemed to be covered with a blanket made of a special material, and there was nothing else.

Yumi: "Mr. Wayne really likes spaciousness..."

Isn't this a waste of space!

Curtain Building is located in the core business district of Curtain City, and the rental price per square meter is at least five figures. Such a large space is all empty?
Wayne: "Well, I prefer a bigger room, don't you like it?"

I like it, but my strength does not allow it.

Shinpei: "..."

Yumi:"……"

Smiling a few times, secretly startled by this man's arrogance, Shinpei was taken aback, and said, "It's better to have coffee, we don't know how to drink."

Although Shinpei doesn't have much research on wine, but a glance at the wine bottles placed in the wine cabinet is enough to show its astonishing price.

"Tianguan Wine (50 Years)"

"Curtain Jug Fruit Wine (78 Years)"

"Silver Snow Wine (from the Silver Mountains)"

The wine in the elf world is different from the wine brewed from grain in the earth world. The unique tree and fruit resources in the elf world have incomparable advantages.Fruits with special effects support a completely different winemaking path, and even have some special effects.

It is said that the taste of some tree fruit wine can be unforgettable for a lifetime, but that kind of wine is not accessible to Zhenping.

Meeting Wayne by chance, it is not in accordance with etiquette to rashly take other people's treasures.

Wayne heard the word coffee, turned around and pressed a button on the side of the wine cabinet, and the huge wine cabinet moved slowly, revealing another cabinet hidden inside.

There are various varieties of coffee inside, which are still kept in the form of coffee beans. Wayne looked at it and took out a bag from the top.

Why do you still play with dolls in such a big room?Isn't it good to put it on?
A tacit remark flashed, Wayne had already poured the coffee beans into a special machine and started grinding them.

"The two of you can sit casually, don't be restrained, by the way, where are the bookcases and computers.

At the other end, a sofa, table and cabinet rises from the ground and stays completely in front of the translucent floor-to-ceiling windows.

The full floor-to-ceiling window design makes the building's lighting almost as good as that of the outdoors. Leaning on the sofa, the angle is just perfect to overlook the city below, just like floating in the clouds.

While shaking the handle of the coffee machine, Wayne said with interest: "This is the best place to watch the curtain view, and it is difficult to see such a view in other places."

Shinpei: "The coffee is very fragrant, full-bodied, and the scenery is beautiful. Mr. Wayne, you grind the coffee beans yourself, but can you tell us why you came to us?"

There is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no friendship for no reason. If there is, it must be your parents.

Although Wayne's actions are close enough to the people, there is still a vague sense of distance.

Compared with Wayne, Zhenping was not comparable in terms of status, wealth or strength.

He is the proud son of the curtain.Who can stay with such a person without any sense of distance.

Wayne's expression was still calm, and the speed of shaking the handle in his hand was still even: "I didn't invite you here for any reason, I mainly want to get to know you, oh, of course, it's mainly Mr. Shinpei."

I?
Shinpei was a little surprised, could it be him?
Wayne seems to have a deep research on human psychological activities, he already understood Zhenping's thoughts when his expression changed, and finally his face froze involuntarily.

Good guy, I thought your expression would never change.

Let Wayne break the merits, Zhenping is quietly proud.

"Ahem, I'm actually curious to know you. As far as I know, the two of you have a good relationship with Dr. Yamanashi?" Wayne coughed to cover up his embarrassment.

It turned out that what he was looking for was Dr. Yamanashi, Shinpei suddenly realized.In terms of status, Dr. Yamanashi is like a mountain in Sinnoh, and it is not surprising that Wayne wants to know him.

Shinpei: "Mr. Wayne, why don't you visit Dr. Yamanashi directly. The doctor is actually a very talkative person. He is just indifferent. If you ask for advice sincerely, he will not put on pedantic airs."

While grinding the coffee beans, Wayne chuckled slightly, shook his head and said, "You may not understand, because of some historical reasons, Dr. Yamanashi doesn't have a good face towards the people of our veil. You also know my identity, and he won't buy it."

Wayne hinted vaguely, and Shinpei suddenly realized.According to some comments on the Internet, the elf research center represented by Dr. Yamanashi seems to have a deep contradiction with the old conservative families of Sinnoh that have existed for hundreds of years.

The Veil is the place where the roots of these veteran families are the deepest.Some unwritten sayings divided the Veil City veteran family into four.

And Wayne is one of them, a member of the old family.Naturally, Dr. Yamanashi will not get a good face.

Shinpei really wants to ask why you insist on seeing Dr. Yamanashi, when you are not welcome and you insist on putting a hot face on a cold ass.But having said that, I don't think I'll be able to drink the coffee made by Wayne himself today.

He is already very face-saving.

Shinpei: "If you insist on seeing Dr. Yamanashi, I don't have a deep relationship with Dr. Yamanashi, and it's not easy to talk to Dr. Yamanashi. You say so."

"I know that Dr. Yamanashi has changed the rules. He gave out the fourth illustrated book for this year. This has never been done before. This stubborn old man will never change his principles until he meets you. So I think you are special and worthy of my contact." Wayne seemed to blink and said indifferently.

He seems to be very concerned about the affairs of the institute, even a small person like Zhenping has done a detailed investigation.

"You may not know what this thing represents. This is not a simple machine. You don't understand the meaning behind the illustrated book." Wayne put down the handle, walked to the real plane, took out the illustrated book from his pocket and shook it.

Shinpei was taken aback, isn't the illustration book just a piece of auxiliary equipment?At best, he would bring himself the status of a direct trainer of the alliance, saving a fortune.

"It seems that you really don't know the meaning of the illustrated book." Wei Ennan looked at Zhenping rarely, and his eyes seemed to be unaware that someone was holding a golden mountain.

As if feeling powerless against Zhenping's ignorance again, Wayne explained: "Although the illustrated book is just a piece of equipment, it represents the doctor's trust in you. He will give you this because he is optimistic about you. This is not a bad street thing."
