After some negotiations, the half-elf team finally agreed to take everyone deeper.
On the one hand, the Blue Sword team itself is small, and on the other hand, most of the team members are women. Generally speaking, women are less intimidating than men, so the half-elves subconsciously judged that these human girls were not threatening (but they were not).
After walking for a few kilometers, they arrived at a half-elf village located in a clearing in the woods.
What disappointed Nora again was that these half-elves did not live in trees, but simply built wooden houses on the ground... By the way, Sheila's grandfather's Olympia City was built on trees, but you built your own wooden houses. Isn't that un-elflike
Then, Nora suddenly came to her senses and began to repent guiltily for having committed the crime of stereotype discrimination again.
As we all know, the characteristic of a village like this is that every household living here knows each other, so once a stranger comes to the village, the news will quickly spread throughout the village.
Therefore, the people of the Azure Sword soon encountered inhumane treatment - they were surrounded by the surrounding half-elf villagers.
There was no friendly welcome or reception, nor any malicious questioning or threats. The half-elves just stared at the Blue Sword in silence, as if...
…see monkeys
"Mom," a child at the back asked, "they look so weird."
"They are human beings." The mother said perfunctorily without intending to answer too much.
"Why aren't human ears pointed?" the child continued to ask.
"It was cut off with scissors after birth," his mother threatened him impatiently.
So the half-elf child was so scared that he ran back home crying... Everyone in the Blue Sword were extraordinary people with better hearing than ordinary people, and the other party did not deliberately lower his voice when speaking, so everyone was speechless for a moment.
Fortunately, this awkward crowd did not last long, and the village chief was called out by the sentinel team.
"You...are here to see His Majesty?" asked the village chief.
"Uh." Everyone was stunned for a while, and Ask answered:
"We are here to deliver a letter on behalf of the Bull Mercenaries. The recipient is the most senior official in your half-elf group. If you call him His Majesty, that is also correct."
"Oh." The village chief nodded, "That should be His Majesty. Sorry, we are only the outermost village. If you want to see His Majesty, you have to go west."
"Thank you. Sorry for bothering us. We have to complete the task as soon as possible."
"You're welcome. I'll let the young man from the village take it to you." The elder smiled.
Ask certainly had no reason to refuse this request of "being a guide in name only but surveillance in reality".
After all, the Blue Sword did come only to deliver the news.
A few minutes later, when everyone left the village, the relevant information was transmitted by the village's spies through the nearby trees.
90 kilometers west of Badajoz Forest is the Dark Forest Airola.
A half-elf tree herder who was meditating beside a tree root suddenly opened his eyes.
