Chapter 1183: Getting More Famous
Aldrian’s group’s appearance in America spread across the country, especially amongst the top-level figures in guilds and the military. They already knew about the appearance of beings much stronger than SSSS-rank from the notice of Second Sky Garden, which made them instantly recognize Aldrian and his wives.
They just did not expect that they were already in America when they had been in Shanghai only a few hours before.
As expected by many top-level hunters, those otherworlders’ appearance instantly attracted more attention and made them even more famous. Although visits from otherworlders are not uncommon, and even at this moment there are some of them on Earth, this group is different.
Besides their perfect appearance, their group made many people rethink their knowledge of otherworlders. What this group showed was outside the norm of what people understood about them.
An elf, which many believed to be a race that did not like mingling with other races, was suddenly seen in one group with humans.
Moreover, there is a rumor that she is actually a wife of the sole man in that group.
In fact, the entire rumor claims that the three women beside him are all his wives.
This caused debate because many thought it to be impossible. The concept of a harem is not taboo, but they still need to consider the races involved.
The rumor of an elf becoming a wife to a human is already strange, but her being part of a harem? That is out of the question.
At least that is what they know based on the information they have from the elves who already visited Earth.
This kind of rumor also reached the otherworlders who stayed on Earth.
One of them was a group of elves that at this moment were visiting the Amazon rainforest. They wore their own attire from their world, with white and green robes. Their style was more or less the same as the elves from the inner realm.
Just like the innate appearance of elves, all of them were handsome and beautiful.
They seemed to be in the middle of their own research activities, observing the fauna.
Since the apocalypse era, the flora and fauna on Earth had also undergone evolution. With various new species emerging, there were many things that could be researched by those interested in it. The elves from another world were one of the groups interested in observing the changes in Earth’s forests.
This group of elves was one example conducting such observation in the forest, which was their natural habitat. The group of three male and three female elves were trying to ’communicate’ with the forest itself.
But their activities were quite disturbed by the rumor spreading on the internet.
One of the male elves looked at his smart bracelet, which he got when he visited Earth, and his expression showed confusion with a hint of annoyance.
"Who is she? I have never seen her before. How could she be in one group with humans?" he said in bewilderment.
The other male elf not far from him looked at him with curiosity.
"What is it that made you look like that?" he asked as he stood up from his sitting position.
"Look." The man showed the content on the screen of his smart bracelet to his friend. After his friend read the content, he narrowed his eyes.
"Who is she? There is no elf with her appearance. I know every face of the elves who visited Earth, and none is like her. Has a new gate connecting to another world with a different elven race appeared?" he said.
"No way. If that were the case, our informants here would have told us. The appearance of another elven race from another world is too big to be hidden from us," the other elf replied.
"A wife to a human? How could an elf choose a human as her spouse? Does this woman not care about keeping her elven bloodline pure? She is already doing something taboo if this rumor is true. Even more so if she is in a harem! Does she not have dignity?"
"Yeah. Although I have to admit that this man’s appearance is truly superior, he is still a human. If this rumor is true, then she is a disgrace to our race."
"What is it that made you look so confused?" Suddenly, a feminine voice came from behind them as a female elf appeared.
Her beautiful face and blue eyes drew admiration from anyone who saw her. Her long blonde hair, tied into a ponytail, added to her beauty. Her tall and slim figure was the ideal many women would envy. Her robe was slightly different from the other elves, decorated with touches of gold color, showing that her status was special.
The two elves who were talking turned to look at the woman, a slight blush appearing on their faces.
"Your Highness," they said.
Even they were affected by the woman’s beauty. The woman who was addressed as royalty smiled at them, which made their hearts beat faster. Still, one of them answered her.
"Your Highness, we are talking about this rumor regarding the appearance of a group many say is from another world, but our focus is the elf among them."
The woman then lowered herself slightly to look at the smart bracelet’s screen. She read the article about the rumor, along with the photos of Aldrian and his wives. She was quite astonished after reading it and finally understood why the two elves looked disturbed.
"I see. I have also never seen her, and I doubt that there is another elven race connected to this world. If that were the case, I would already know," she said. She then looked at Aldrian’s photo, which made her heart skip a beat every time she saw his close-up.
’I have to admit that he is really charming. Who is he? Even compared to elves, he is more handsome,’ she thought.
"Could it be someone pretending to be an elf?" the other male said, making her come out of her thoughts.
Her expression turned thoughtful.
"I don’t see any benefit in someone doing so other than offending our kingdom. I doubt that anyone would be that reckless," she said.
"Your Highness, whatever the truth is, the fact that this kind of rumor exists is not good for the reputation of our race. In this world, people think that the elven race comes from our kingdom. If this rumor keeps spreading, then I’m afraid the people of this world will misunderstand our race. We need to maintain the dignity of our race," one of the men said.
"Your Highness, I think it would be best if we meet them and make things clear. This situation is really strange," the other man said.
The woman nodded. "You are right. After this, let’s go and visit them. I am also curious about where they came from."
They then continued what they were doing in the Amazon forest.
-----------------------------
While their news kept spreading, Aldrian and his wives were at this moment with a middle-aged man with blonde hair and a moustache. He wore a white suit and white gloves, making him look elegant.
He was one of the strongest hunters in America. An SSSS-rank hunter with a high status in the United States.
The leader of the U.S. Hunter Association, Mason.
Not long after Aldrian and his wives became known to the people of New York, he noticed them and quickly went to meet them. With the headquarters of the association located in New York, he arrived quickly and introduced himself.
Initially, he wanted to invite them to the headquarters, but Aldrian refused as he wanted to tour many places. Mason then offered himself as their guide, which Aldrian accepted.
Since then, they had been visiting some iconic places in New York, and after that Mason brought them around the country.
They flew to various places until they passed an area in Yellowstone National Park. Aldrian could see the area surrounded by a wall, along with military guards.
It looked more like a fortress.
He then saw a fairly large spatial distortion right in the middle of the fortress, and he could feel a familiar aura coming from it.
Aldrian knew that it was a portal to another world or secret realm, or as it was called here, a gate.
"I believe Your Excellency Aldrian already knows about the situation of our world and about gates. That one is called the Land of Blood Gate," Mason said.
"With an assessment of SSSS-rank, that gate is one of the most dangerous in the world. Even someone like me has to be careful when entering it. There have already been several attempts to clear it, but all of them ended in failure."
Aldrian kept looking at the portal before speaking.
"Could I take a look?"
Mason was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and nodded. "Of course, Your Excellency. This way, please."
