All the elders and peers he had met during his years in the Elven Forest behaved more or less like that—aside from a few harmless quirks.
Like the Elf King who loved reading hot blooded novels, and the High Priestess who was obsessed with melodramatic romance stories.
So when Illiya heard this news today, he was completely dumbfounded.
What?!
Do elves partake in the affairs of the mortal world (like food and commerce)?

Illiya could understand the idea of doing business—after all, not all elves abstain from eating—but the choice of location was baffling.
This was the Nubilian Union! The Nubilian Union where the cost of living was ridiculously high!
A merchant who could afford to do business here couldn't possibly be an ordinary one.
Each and every one of them was shrewd and cunning.

Today, Illiya suddenly realized that he didn't understand the elf race at all.
