Chapter 465 The duke’s visit (6)
I revealed a surprised look when I heard this, but I still asked, "What do you mean by that?"
The green haired elder gave a sigh without really explaining anything.
It was almost as if there was something bothering her that she couldn't really talk about.
But in the end, she still said, "There are some visitors right now and it's best if you don't meet them. They are…not as friendly towards humans, so it would be bad if you…"
Before she could finish her words, the portal behind her lit up once more.
The green haired elder turned back with an ugly look on her face before waving her hand at me to move back.
I knitted my brows slightly when I saw this, but I followed her instructions and moved away from the portal.
There were two other green haired elves that suddenly came out of the portal.
When they came out, they looked around for a bit until their eyes fell onto the green haired elder.
The one on the left said, "Elder Lia, we have been looking for you. You suddenly left during the middle of our discussion, so we were wondering what kind of important things you had to take care of."
The one on the right suddenly looked at me and said, "It seems that there are human intruders in your forest. Shall we take care of them for you?"
As soon as their voices fell, they immediately pulled out bows that they pointed at me.
These elves didn't seem like they were playing around at all. They really seemed like they were planning to kill me.
But the green haired elder raised her hand and said, "Wait, these are guests, not intruders."
As soon as the two green haired elves heard this, they immediately knitted their brows.
Both of them looked at Elder Lia with serious looks before the one on the left asked, "Are you serious?"
The one on the right then added, "You should know what the consequences of such a lie is."
The green haired elder gave a sigh before saying, "They are indeed guests." She pointed at me and said, "This one is a friend of my daughter."
As soon as these two elves heard this, they immediately knitted their brows even more before turning to look at me.
This time, they were actually looking at me instead of just looking at me like I was a piece of trash in their minds. They seemed like they were sizing me up, seeing what I was capable of, that I could be considered a friend of the elder's daughter, the High Elf Aisha Bellthorn.
After a long silence, the one on the left said, "How are you certain of this?"
The one on the right added, "That's right, anyone can say that they are related to someone, but how can they prove it?"
The green haired elder looked at me as if she was waiting for me to do my thing.
I gave a sigh before giving them the proof that they needed.
As they watched me, the two of them revealed very strange looks.
However, neither of them looked like they approved of me.
It was clear that they weren't happy that I was a human that got along with elves.
After a long silence, the one on the left said, "Alright, we accept that this human is a guest."
The one on the right then said, "But, that doesn't explain why he is bringing other humans with him."
The hostile tone in their voice made it very clear what they were implying.
The green haired elder came forward and said, "We have a trade agreement with the humans, which is why they are here."
The two elves knitted their brows once again before saying, "Alright, since they are here to trade, let's see what they have for trade."
The green haired elder nodded in agreement to this.
I was the only one with an awkward look on my face since I didn't expect it to go this way.
We definitely were not here to trade, we were here to be rejected entry into the elven village…but now we had to go into the village trade…
We didn't have anything to trade at all!
My mind quickly turned, but there was no denying this anymore.
After all, I could see how the green haired elder were treating these two elves.
It was clear that these two elves had a special status among the elves…
The two of them narrowed their eyes to look at us again before turning around to head back through the portal.
Once they were gone, the green haired elder gave a sigh before saying, "Sorry for getting you caught up in this mess. But at the very least, you'll be able to come into the village."
I revealed an awkward look before saying, "I wasn't planning on coming today, so I didn't actually bring anything. I was hoping that you would have turned me away…"
The green haired elder's chin dropped as she looked at me before she revealed a bitter smile and said, "Then you better think of something, or else we'll both be in trouble."
I gave a slow nod in response before turning to look back at the portal.
After a pause, I asked, "Who are those two?"
The green haired elder gave a sigh before saying, "Well, that's a complicated story."
I looked at her with a faint smile as I said, "Then give me the short version."
The green haired elder shook her head and gave another sigh before saying, "I'm sure that you can already tell based on how they look and act."
I couldn't help slightly knitting my brows when I heard this since I did indeed have an idea, but I was hoping that it was wrong.
The green haired elder paused before saying, "They're from the capital, they're here on behalf of the Elven Kingdom."
As expected, it really was troublesome.
