Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 858 Dark elves
858 Dark elves
Since we had caught them, it didn't make sense not to question them.
But before questioning them, there was something that had to be done first.
"Take off their hoods."
The elite guards nodded in agreement when they received this order and they went to take the hoods off these cloaked figures.
When their appearances were revealed, I couldn't help being a bit surprised.
I wasn't the only one that was surprised by their appearances, but it was clear that the others were more surprised than I was.
After all, they had never seen this kind of appearance before.
Sharp ears, that was the one defining feature that these cloaked people had, but that wasn't the only defining feature.
They also had dark skin that was completely different from the other race that had sharp ears like them.
Dark elves, these people were dark elves.
I had thought that they would be a bunch of demons that had snuck into our kingdom, but that didn't seem to be the case. It was no wonder there were a bunch of bows that were destroyed on the ground.
Dark elves used bows just like elves did.
It certainly was surprising seeing the dark elves since I never thought that the demons would actually send the dark elves to take care of their business. But if one thought about it carefully, sending the dark elves was the better choice.
After all, it was easier for dark elves to move through human society than it was for demons.
When cloaked, dark elves would at least seem like humans since they had figures that were like human figures.
Demons had much different features than humans, so it was hard for them to blend in even if they cloaked themselves. There were only a few demons that would seem similar enough to humans that they would be able to blend in with cloaks.
So dark elves were the better choice in this matter.
As for what the dark elves were…
Well, they were another race that existed in this world, but it was better to call them corrupted elves than dark elves.
In the beginning, these dark elves had been normal elves that lived the normal elven life.
But in the past, during the wars between the different races, these elves were captured by the demons. Or rather, it was the ancestors of these elves that were captured by the demons.
The demons had only wanted to see if they could experiment on these elves to find their weakness, but it turned out that they created an entirely different race in the end. That was because they experimented on the elves with demonic energy.
The dark elves were a race that came from elves corrupted by demonic energy.
No one expected the elves to absorb the demonic energy that was used on them and then turn into dark elves.
Because of this, the demons didn't know what to do with them…
There were a few dark elves that escaped and returned to their homeland with the other elves, but they found that they weren't welcome there. The dark elves that had escaped were seen as corrupted by the other elves, so they weren't welcome back in the elven homeland.
The elves were afraid of the demonic energy that the dark elves now possessed.
Since they were at war with the demons and hated things like the demons in the first place, it wasn't as if they would accept anything that was corrupted by the demons.
As such, there was no place for the dark elves to go.
In the end, the dark elves had no choice but to return to the demons.
The ones that didn't escape were used as slaves at first, but soon the demons found the uses of the dark elves.
The demon society was one where those with power would rise, so the dark elves created a place for themselves with their strength. They rose up from being considered slaves and were now considered a subrace of demons.
Or at least that was the backstory that they had in the game.
In reality, dark elves were just added because that was one of the tropes of the fantasy world and there was no way that an H-game wouldn't have dark elves in it.
There were scenes with the dark elves, but they were difficult to get since the dark elves worked with the demons that were considered the enemies of the main races.
Of course, I was a man who had gotten those scenes since I was someone who had completed everything there was to do in the game.
After a long silence, I asked the dark elves, "Why did you do this?"
It was the most basic question that I could have asked, but we did have to start somewhere.
At the very least, I wanted to see if I could get the dark elves to talk.
And as expected, they didn't say a single thing.
The dark elves did look at me with narrowed eyes as if they were judging me. They looked at me as if they recognized that I was the one that was in charge here, but there was no missing the trace of disdain that was in their eyes.
It seemed that they recognized that I wasn't that strong in the first place.
In fact, I was most likely the weakest person that was here.
In a society that was dominated by those that were strong like the demons, it wouldn't be strange that they would look down on me since I was weak.
Scar also noticed this, so he swung his sword down onto the ground and said, "Listen here, you only have two choices right now. You can either answer our questions, or you can be buried where you buried that dark crystal of yours."
The dark elves turned to look at him, but it didn't seem like there were any traces of fear in their eyes.
It almost seemed like they had accepted death.
I can't aim when I'm tired...
