Chapter 864: Chapter 37 Rope Trick is Your Strong Suit_2
Various signs indicate that the girl cos from a wealthy family, most likely of noble origin.
Moreover, she seems to give him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
At this mont, the girl in front of the campfire is also scrutinizing the three unexpected visitors in the forest.
Light Elves, Dark Elves, and a Human?
She is quite surprised by the complex composition of the group.
The fact that the two kinds of Elves, traditionally as incompatible as fire and water, could follow harmoniously behind the male Human made the girl faintly think of a possibility, and her face instantly beca a few shades colder.
“Excuse us, we’ve just arrived in Central Earth and are not very familiar with this place. Could you tell us how to get to Heather Island?”
With a clear inquiry, Celebrian stepped forward and humbly asked the girl for directions.
“You wish to go to Heather Island?” the girl asked, sowhat surprised, and then a smile surfaced on her tense face, “As it happens, I also have matters there. If you don’t mind, we could travel together.”
“That would be wonderful!” Celebrian replied with joy, nodding again and again in agreent.
Rose narrowed her eyes and said tactfully, “Would that be too much trouble? You could just tell us the direction.”
The girl shook her head, smiling, “No trouble at all, it’s on my way. There are hardly any villages nearby, and you must have traveled a whole day’s journey. Why not sit down and rest your feet, have so food, and we can set off together in the morning.”
Seeing that Rose wanted to say sothing else, Luo En patted her shoulder and gladly accepted the girl’s invitation:
“It’s good to have soone familiar with the area. Thank you.”
Then, the party of three sat down around the campfire, while the girl served hot at soup and several pieces of frozen, hard bread for them to share.
The food was coarse, but for Celebrian, who lived in comfort, and Rose, who was a Deity, it was a novel experience.
They followed the girl’s lead, softening the coarse bread in the hot soup before eating it.
A warm feeling spread through their long-unfed stomachs, bringing a sense of comfort to their faces.
Seeing the two Elves seemingly enjoying their al, the girl offered a few more pieces of black bread, while she couldn’t help but take several more glances at Luo En.
Luo En cleared his throat to break her gaze, and with a smile asked:
“By the way, may I ask what your na is…”
“Zireael, my friends call Zireael.”
The girl replied casually, her eyes shimring slightly.
Celebrian, hearing the words in the Elvish pronunciation, was sowhat surprised:
“Swallow?”
“Yes, my godmother has one-quarter Elf Bloodline, so she gave this na.”
The silver-haired girl nodded and replied, her gaze drifting.
Half-Elves are the hybrid offspring of Elves and other species (mainly Humans), slightly taller and stronger than the Elves, but they are the unblessed anomalies.
Due to the obvious differences in individuals, Elves are very hostile to Half-Elves, not recognizing them as Elves, and considered impure; Humans, although more accepting due to their beautiful appearance, also reject their half-Elf bloodline.
Thus, revealing this to the two purebred Elves was sowhat embarrassing.
However, Celebrian showed no disdain at all, but instead asked eagerly:
“There are Elves living in Central Earth? I’ve never seen them before! What’s her na? Maybe we could et if we have a chance.”
“Yenifa…”
Faced with Celebrian’s keen eyes, the girl replied subconsciously.
“Pfft!”
Luo En, hearing the na, couldn’t help spitting out his at soup.
Instantly, all three pairs of eyes turned to look at him.
“Cough cough, sorry, I drank too fast and choked, please continue.”
Luo En coughed in response, patting his chest to catch his breath.
The three of them harbored no suspicions and continued to chat sporadically.
Perhaps because of the bond of Elf blood, the atmosphere gradually ward up, and the silver-haired girl nicknad “Swallow” began to recount her encounter with her godmother at Celebrian’s behest.
When she was still a child, sowhat mischievous, she wandered off from the servant one day and accidentally entered the Buluoqilong Forest.
That place is a sanctuary for Tree Spirits, Half-Elves, Unicorns, and other fantastical creatures, where Humans are forbidden.
Normally, Humans caught by Tree Spirits are forced to drink the legendary Buluoqilong Water and transford into Tree Spirits as punishnt.
But luckily, she encountered Yenifa – a female Magician with Elven ancestry living in seclusion in the Buluoqilong Forest.
Yenifa took pity on her, brought her out of the Buluoqilong Forest, and returned her to her parents.
Out of gratitude for the lady’s kindness, her parents asked Yenifa to be her godmother and protect her as she grew.
So, the two were bonded from then on.
Perhaps because of this relationship, she had a favorable opinion of Elves.
At this mont, having listened to the girl’s introduction, Luo En finally confird the identity of the girl before him and the source of that familiar feeling.
Hirya Fiona Allen Lianren, known as Xili, the granddaughter of the Queen of the Northern Kingdom of Cintra, called “Lioness of Cintra.” She was known as the “Lion Cub of Cintra” because of her fierce personality and inherited potential of the powerful “Ancient Blood,” displaying remarkable combat talents at a young age.
And the reason Luo En knew all this was that the girl Xili before him, like Celebrian, was also a character born from a story in his mind.
