After resting up for the night, we left the town.
It was the two high elf girls who led out of town, saying that they would bring to the Verdant Forest.
But the way that they kept arguing with each other really didn’t inspire any confidence.
It seed like they didn’t know exactly where they were going.
At the sa ti, it really seed like they were letting sothing guide them. Only I really couldn’t see anything other than this stick that they took out from ti to ti.
But I didn’t ask anything since I already knew what this stick was.
It was a branch from the Tree of Life.
The Verdant Forest was nad that because of the lush green colour that this forest had. As for how it was able to have this lush green colour to it, it was all because of the Tree of Life that was at the center of it.
The Tree of Life was sothing that the elves were famous for.
It was even said that the elves were a race that was born from the Tree of Life itself.
That was why the Tree of Life was the most important thing to the elves and the reason why they gathered around it. Naly, the high elves that were the progenitor of elves and the ones that were filled with the most nature energy.
Though they had this stick, it really didn’t seem like they knew how to use it.
So seeing them swing it around really made it hard for to hide the bitter smile that crept onto my face.
The two of them were swinging the stick around as if they were expecting it to do sothing.
What they should have done was use the nature energy that they possessed as high elves to incite the branch. That would have created a resonance with the Tree of Life that this branch belonged to, turning it in the direction of it to lead them there.
"They really don’t know anything, do they?"
I couldn’t help wondering what I could say to convince them to hand the branch to use it properly.
What I didn’t expect was that they would hand it to on their own.
"Can you take a look at this and see what’s wrong with it?"
The two of them suddenly turned around and asked this.
I couldn’t help being caught off guard hearing this before looking at them with a strange look.
However, it didn’t seem like the two of them had any hesitation in their eyes as they held the stick up for to take. It seed like they were just waiting for to take it as if it was a natural thing.
"Are they really this trusting?" I couldn’t help thinking to myself.
But Nimue’s words made rethink this.
"Are you not going to take it?"
"The two of them are just naive."
These two high elf girls clearly had never been out in the wide world before, so they were too trusting to people that they opened themselves to.
While it wasn’t as if I was a complete bad guy, it didn’t an that I was a good guy either since I was just using the two of them.
When I saw them like this, I couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty.
Only I didn’t get the chance to take the branch in the end.
"I knew that you must have gotten delayed so way or another."
All three of us were surprised to hear this before I slowly pulled out my bow.
However, I didn’t get the chance to pull it out as the two high elf girls ca over to stop .
After stopping , they just shook their heads at as if they were telling that it was fine before looking around as if they were looking for the source of the voice.
But when they didn’t find it, Nimue said, "Elder Rohice, is it fun hiding like that? We were in quite a bit of trouble just now."
Rania gave a nod without actually saying anything.
After a mont of silence, there was a rustle that ca from the trees before a figure appeared in front of us. The mont that this figure appeared, I could feel a trace of danger.
But at the sa ti, I felt the sa feeling that I felt when I t these two high elf girls.
It was clear that he felt the sa with the way that he looked at .
He only looked at for a few seconds before saying to Nimue with a bitter smile, "None of us expected this either. It should have been a safe route as far as we were concerned since we’ve already used it many tis. As for why I didn’t co to help you, it’s because we’re supposed to let you take this journey on your own to develop your own abilities. If we knew that this was going to happen, then we would have sent soone much sooner."
Only after appeasing the two high elf girls did he turn back to look at with the sa smile, but the bitterness that had been in the smile disappeared.
He narrowed his eyes to look at before saying, "I never expected you to encounter soone like this."
"He’s a friend." The two high elf girls suddenly moved in front of as if they wanted to protect .
But I wasn’t worried at all.
Since I was able to sense that familiar feeling from this Elder Rohice, it was only natural that he would sense that familiar feeling from .
With a smile on his face, Elder Rohice shook his head before saying, "There’s no need to be worried, why would I harm one of our own? I’m just surprised that there are those that are still wandering out in the world like this. It’s been a long ti since I’ve seen one like him."
Then looking at with that sa smile, he said, "We always welco one of our own."
