Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 285 - 272: Poor Elves (Two-in-One)_3

"Hmm... That is an underground resistance organization hidden within the empire, reportedly consisting of elves and half-elves, as well as some humans who sympathize with elves."

"They have been active in the various cities of the empire with the goal of rescuing captured elves..."

The skinny guard explained.

At this point, he sighed slightly,

"To say these elves... they’re really unlucky, having to hide everywhere and get captured, maybe... that’s just fate. Who told them to look so good..."

"I had the privilege of seeing a legendary elf once. You wouldn’t know, it was truly beautiful... good-looking, how to put it... just like an angel... No wonder they’re so liked."

"However, the time I saw it, it was locked in a cage. Sigh, it was really quite pitiful."

"Ah... thinking about it, which race would want to be captured? But... who told them to be so favored by the nobles, live so long, and look so good, with a magic constitution. I hear, what those noble lords like the most is keeping such intelligent creatures as pets..."

"Keep an elf, and the whole family can benefit for hundreds of years..."

"In my opinion, these elves are just too kind. Sigh... such a kind and powerful race ended up like this, it’s really quite lamentable."

"Maybe, in this world, only by hardening one’s heart can one survive." ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"Just like the great nobles of the empire, each one greedier and more brutal than the last, the more powerful they are, the worse they are, none of them are any good!"

As the skinny guard spoke, he became angrily indignant.

But soon, he realized that he had probably said too much...

And, because the communication atmosphere was too good, he had inadvertently started complaining about the nobility!

"Eternal Lord above!"

He had actually started complaining about the nobility in front of the nobles!

The skinny guard broke out in a cold sweat, quickly stopped the topic, and then cautiously looked at the players.

However, to his surprise, these young nobles were not angry.

On the contrary... after hearing his words, they instead showed expressions of quite some interest, and were itching to try.

"This auction... when exactly is it?"

Li Mu asked with great interest.

The others also looked expectantly at the skinny guard.

Their fervent gaze made him shiver instinctively.

As expected of the nobility... these guys, they become captivated as soon as they hear about elves.

The skinny guard shook his head secretly.

...

After exchanging a few words with the players, the skinny guard left happily with several bags of grain.

The other villagers also followed suit, exchanging various goods for what they knew from the players.

However, the simplicity of these villagers was somewhat surprising to the players.

Although the players said they would exchange information for goods, many villagers, after receiving the grain, still left behind the things they originally intended to trade...

Whether eggs, hides, small gadgets, or game...

As they said,

"Master, your grain is high-class stuff, hard to find even in Fengye City..."

"Your goods are too precious, and the things we’re telling you about can be learned easily after some inquiry..."

"We’ve already gotten a great deal, although the things in our hands aren’t much, trading with you makes us feel a bit more at ease."

"Eternal Lord above, may the True God be with you forever..."

This indeed surprised the players a bit.

*It turns out not all humans in this game are villains!*

*These villagers are quite nice.*

And after the transaction, the villagers warmly brought out all kinds of good food to entertain these generous foreigners.

The whole town kept bustling for several hours before it gradually quieted down...

After the last villager left, the players gathered in the temporary camp, sitting in small groups, seemingly resting, but actually entering the chat channel to discuss the next step...

"What does everyone think?"

Li Mu asked in the chat channel.

"What else? It was worth it! We got all the important information in one go, definitely a hidden plot! Find relics, rescue elves, and do some business on the side!"

Demacia said excitedly.

"Then... let’s rest up and head to Fengye City early tomorrow morning! What does everyone think? Can you adjust your online time?"

Li Mu asked again.

"Yes!"

"No problem!"

The players rubbed their hands expectantly.

"But... we need to find a guide, we can’t be running around like headless chickens."

Fried Tomato said.

"No need to worry about that, I heard the skinny guard say he’s going to Fengye City tomorrow."

Little Xian Miao interrupted him, saying.

After saying this, her expression became a bit peculiar,

"Speaking of... I just took a walk around town, guess who I saw?"
