Chapter 105 Elf/Conflict
Facing the information about the Elves.
They were all a bit surprised.
"A ship? There are Elves on the ship? It's them!" Beckett thought of something and exclaimed in surprise.
"Did they flee here too?"
"Do you know them?" Getai turned his head to ask.
Beget nodded and pointed to himself and the group of Half-Elves behind him who were setting up camps: "We left Lebia in search of Tegrella.
We were on a ship that actually belonged to an Elf merchant fleet; they escorted us and ensured our safety.
There was a beautiful ship full of Elves, and when they encountered those monstrous ships previously, they managed to escape."
It was clear that Beget was somewhat resentful when saying these words, given they had paid the Elves, who promised to ensure their safety.
Even though he thought that at that time, if people could escape, they wouldn't care about this.
After Beckett finished speaking, everyone turned to Kana.
"Let's go, no matter what, we should take a look first."
After finishing speaking, they gathered a simple team and brought Beget, mounting the Land Bird.
Even Grey Fang, who had been wandering around, seemed interested and followed on a Winged Dragon.
Following the Knight delivering news, they headed towards the beach.
...
"According to the map, this Eastern Wilderness is a vast area, why would a group of humans settle here?" A female Elf asked while looking at the map in her hand.
Another Elf standing beside her said: "Do you remember what those human cavalrymen said before? They knew about the monsters that attacked us.
Maybe they are like us, forced to come here?"
"What do you think?" The leading Elf asked, referring to the exchange between the two Elves.
Upon hearing his question, the Elf known as Heiswantha said: "The monsters that attacked us were once in a place that was human territory.
It seems like they established their nation not long ago, you know that several years ago, I led a team through there for supplies.
Recently, there haven't been any issues reported there, indicating that those monsters appeared only during this time."
As he spoke he pointed to the fishing village not far from them.
"Do you see that village? Now look at the few fishing boats by the sea."
Upon hearing this, the Elf leader observed carefully and noticed something amiss: "Everything seems freshly built."
"Indeed, too new."
Such a situation is obvious, even if these humans were not forced here due to those monsters.
They surely haven't been here long.
"Maxim, how much longer will we stay here?"
An Elf who appeared very young in human terms, perhaps only described as a youth, walked over.
Maxim, the Elf leader, turned to look at him: "Don't be anxious Mig, we are unfamiliar with this place, we need to learn from those humans."
"But as you said, they just arrived here too, look at those signs of logging, only two to three months old at most.
What can they know? We should hurry to find a suitable area to plant the Mother Tree.
Instead of wasting time with these short-lived… humans."
Upon hearing these words, Maxim frowned and said sternly: "Do not mention the Mother Tree here, we are not safe."
At this moment, Heiswantha tapped Maxim: "Someone's coming."
Several Elves looked over.
In the distance, they could see a team rapidly approaching, stirring faint dust behind them.
With the Land Birds,
Kana and his team took only about half a day to see the beach from afar.
The main reason was that this route had been trampled into a path by patrolling teams over the past few months.
Surrounding dangers were almost entirely cleared, and this path could be considered the safest route in the Eastern Wilderness.
"A fancy ship, obviously Elven." Getai said while riding War Sheep, seeing the slightly dilapidated Elf Warship by the beach.
One must admit, the Elf Warship truly stands out.
The entire ship extensively using white and blue paint, with gold stripes accentuating it.
The whole ship was built to be extremely elegant, not at all like a warship, it rather resembled a vessel for aristocratic tours.
But being an Elven thing, such appearance is not surprising.
Elves, after all, always appear with attributes related to elegance and nobility.
When Life spans long, pursuits beyond arts rarely withstand their time.
Very soon, Kana's team spotted the Elves.
Immediately seeing those leading, all familiar to Kana.
These Elves were precisely the origin of Elf Players at the game's start.
If one starts as an Elf, this origin is from this Elf team crossing the sea, narrating their persecution by the Blood Race and ship destruction at the start.
Afterwards drifting here, forced to settle in the Eastern Wilderness.
Though from a team of only hundreds of Elves, having tens of thousands of Elf Players suddenly emerge is quite odd.
But there's no way around it, games are like that.
Now, the origins of the three available starter Races in the game are complete.
