Bread and Poetry

  Early in the morning, wake up.

  Getting out of a soft bed is a test of willpower.

  At the entrance door of the living room, next to Roy's muddy shoes, there was a finely crafted moccasin boot, and the other boot was stuck to the door. It seemed that Ms. Belinda came back last night. Sure enough, A dress hangs on the chair.

  Preparing breakfast is not a hassle. All you need to do is peel the breadfruit and prepare a cup of fragrant tea.

  Roy always thought breadfruit was a magical thing.

  There is no need for wheat flour or oven, but this thing is not in line with Roy's taste, but there is nothing I can do about it, everyone eats this.

  Wheat flour can also be bought at Castletown Port, but these foods from the human world are very expensive in the elf world, and Roy can't bake bread at all.

  The breadfruit the elf eats is very different from the one Roy saw in his previous life, except for the same name...

  This breadfruit is more like durian.

  This kind of breadfruit grows in a hard and prickly shell. When ripe, the shell can be easily separated into five parts, and the pulp lies inside like a croissant. However, the pulp of the breadfruit is not too sweet and has a tree-like flavor. It is fragrant and can be eaten directly or dipped in salt.

  Roy broke open 1/4 of the breadfruit, gave one to himself first, put the other on a porcelain plate, and then prepared a cup of impatiens honey tea for Belinda.

  And he drinks a glass of diluted Life Tree juice, which slows down aging.

  There is a Life Tree that has grown for nearly five thousand years in the central garden of Castletown City, and the Silvermoon Elf in the city can receive a copy there every month.

  Belinda was always worried that Roy would grow up too fast. She always said that she once dreamed that Roy died in her arms, so she insisted that Roy drink it every day.

  Sit at the table and eat food from the taste list.

  Thinking back to the time before he traveled to this world, he was still a junior student who made a surprise trip before the final exam. That day, Roy rushed to the library to grab a seat. There were many people in the library. Even though he came very early, those desks Almost all of them are filled with various personal books...

  He walked along the rows of bookshelves, curious about how many rows of bookshelves there were in the Second Layer library. Soon his attention was focused on it, and he always felt that he would never end no matter how far he walked.

  In the end, I just felt that there were no other students around. I didn't expect that there was such a quiet area in the library. It was really incredible.

  It's just that the books on the bookshelf all seem to be in foreign languages, and the texts are not in English, French, German, Italian or Japanese, like the ghost picture talisman of an unfathomable mystery.

  He casually pulled out a heavy copper-covered ancient book. The cover showed two elves, one holding a long sword and the other holding a staff. The two faced each other and looked up at the crescent moon above their heads. Although I can't understand the text above, the patterns drawn inside seem to describe the elf world.

  In fact, Roy was interested in flipping through it just to see if there were any elf beauties in the illustrations. The slim figures of elf girls are in line with Chinese aesthetics.

  He only turned a few pages, and then the whole book turned by itself, faster and faster, like a money counting machine. After just a few seconds, the book was turned through from beginning to end.

  And at the end of the page, there is actually a huge vortex, like a huge black hole.

  Roy was sucked in all at once. He tried to struggle and call for help, but there was simply no chance.

  …

  He didn't know how long he had been sleeping in the darkness. When Roy opened his eyes, he found that he had arrived in this elf country and became the son of Ms. Belinda.

  This elf mother, who looked nothing like him, was pretty good to him.

  However, she is the kind of literary elf who is somewhat petty bourgeois. She spends almost all the money she earns on enjoying life. She is always so sentimental and likes to pursue both material and spiritual enjoyment. She often wears beautiful clothes to participate in various dances.

  She is a pure bloodline Silvermoon Elf, so after putting on a dress, she can always enter the ball in various occasions.

  Roy can't. Even if Belinda guarantees that he is a half-elf with the Silvermoon Elf bloodline, many guards at the dance entrance will not allow such a human-like half-elf to enter.

  Roy would obediently wait by the flower bed at the entrance of the dance venue every time, and always comforted Belinda that he didn't like dancing at all.

  How can there be an elf who doesn't like dancing?

  Ms. Belinda must have been comforted by Roy. Later, the number of times Belinda took Roy to dances gradually decreased.

  Recently, Ms. Belinda found a new job and became an assistant to a sculptor in the city. Although she does some odd jobs every day, such a job with a strong literary and artistic atmosphere is very suitable for her.

  Ms. Belinda was wearing a cool nightgown, yawning and walking downstairs with bare feet. Her snow-white arms were almost completely exposed. The nightgown clung to her slender body, not covering much.

  She almost always dresses like this when she's at home.

  For a Silvermoon Elf who is less than three hundred years old, she is still very young, if in the human world she is exactly two eightteen-nineteen years old.

  She has silver long hair that is randomly tied into a ball on the top of her head, and there are heavy bags under her big blue eyes. Every time she doesn't get enough sleep, her eyes will become a little puffy.

  She is not the kind of extremely beautiful elf, but she is better at understanding herself and being able to dress up, which always makes her look intellectual.

  Sitting in front of the dining table, I looked Roy up and down first, then picked up the honey tea and took a sip before digging into the breadfruit on the plate with a spoon.

  Look at her eating breadfruit like she's eating ice cream.

  "How was your day yesterday?"

  Ms. Belinda also wanted to pinch Roy's cheek, but Roy turned away.

  "That's it, I want to go fishing at the beach today."

  Roy put down his spoon and revealed his plan.

  Belinda just hesitated for a moment and then said: "Okay, but don't pick up the shellfish on those rocks anymore. They taste like Nasal Mucus Insect. Just looking at them makes me feel sick."

  Roy shook his shoulders, "Okay! Actually, that stuff is really delicious, especially with a little lemon juice."

  Then it was time for Ms. Belinda to chatter.

  Like all mothers, Ms. Belinda always has expectations of this and that for Roy.

  "You have to learn how an elf should look and behave. After all, you live in an elf country. I really don't know where you learned these human habits. Could it be that the human innate talent hidden in the body has awakened?" Ms. Belinda felt helpless about this.

  Thinking of the task assigned to Roy, Ms. Belinda asked Roy:

  "Have you finished reading the poetry book I asked you to read last week?"

  Roy brace oneself replied: "Looking at it a little."

  In fact, Roy couldn't even remember where the book was in the room.

  The poems of elf...

  Just thinking about Roy makes me feel bad.

  "That's not okay. We, Silvermoon Elf, would rather live without bread than without poetry..." Belinda babbled to Roy.

  Roy also replied not to be outdone:

  "I know you can eat fish without bread."

  Breakfast is very simple, just need to clean two plates and cups, and Roy does almost all of this.

  …

  After breakfast, Ms. Belinda wore a new dress with a maple leaf pattern and went to work at the art gallery.

  Roy also washed his shoes that were stained with smelly mud and hung them to dry on the second-floor terrace. Then he walked out of the house carrying a fishing rod and wooden bucket and headed downstream along the Danne River. You can reach the seaside by walking, where is the mouth of the Danne River. There is a reef area that is very suitable for fishing.

  ELFs don't like to get up too early, except for those who go to the orchard to collect dew in the morning.

  The street is deserted, but very clean.

  One side of this street is the Dane River, and there are some shops in the wood house on the other side. The nearest shop to Roy's house is a shop that sells breadfruit. In fact, there are many other types of fruits in it, but Roy feels that None of that could be taken out for breakfast, so I ate only breadfruit every morning.

  There is also a pharmacy store at the corner of the street. The shelves are filled with various test tubes containing liquids of various colors. It is said that many of them are expensive potions.

  Roy didn't understand this, but he was very familiar with the night saber cub tied at the door of the pharmacy, and occasionally gave it one or two sea fish to eat.

  This street is almost full of ordinary second layer wood houses. The paint on the outside of many wood houses has been painted many times. This is very bad when living by the sea. It seems to be wet all year round, even if it blows The wind carried a strong smell of sea.

  Walking further from the street, there is a Liberty Goddess Temple built on a slightly raised rock wall. It is said that a group of people come to pray every weekend morning, and everyone will sit and sing together. Neighbor Ji Ms. Leanne's eldest daughter, Sabrina, is a member of the choir in the temple.

  Roy has actually always wanted to take a look inside, but every time he passes by the door and sees the statue of Goddess holding a scepter in the center of the flower bed in the temple yard through the iron fence, his steps become hesitant...

  Roy, who was standing on the roadside, saw a vague silhouette emerging from the corner of the north wall of the temple from a distance. He suddenly jumped out of the wall, threw himself into the grass outside the wall, and then disappeared. .

  Roy didn't pay much attention. The thief who dared to climb over the wall at this early morning time might be an elf secretly dating a priest in the temple.

  Standing here, you can take the port in the entire scene. There are more than a dozen three-masted sailing ships moored on the pier of the port, and there are dozens of small fishing boats. Now that the tide has just receded, only the smallest fishing boats can be so low. The water level is so low that large ships can only wait for the next high tide to go out to sea.

  Next to the pier is a golden beach. The sea water receded, leaving many shells on this beach.

  Roy was barefoot and wearing a pair of overalls, rolled up his trouser legs and strode down the beach.

  The sea and the sky in the distance were connected. Roy first dug up some sandworms on the beach and bumped them into a wooden barrel. Then he ran to the reef area by the sea with his fishing rod and climbed up a huge rock closest to the sea. There are some oysters scattered all over this reef, and many places are stuck. There are only a few places where you can stay, but Roy cleaned them up bit by bit.

  This is where he fishes.

  Standing on the rocks.

  Roy looked towards the end of the sea, wondering what kind of country there is on the other side of the sea...
