Cultural Invasion In Different World

Zhiye sat silently in the lobby and watched as Qiao Xiu led the three high elf inspectors into the depths of the Hearthstone tavern.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something on the way, but it was too late when she came to her senses, just like that, Zhiye fidgeted in her seat and waited for a few minutes before Qiao Xiu finally returned to the lobby again.

Where did you... take them?

Zhiye finally plucked up the courage to ask Qiao Xiu aloud. She was a smart girl and knew that if she made Qiao Xiu angry, even returning to the high elves' residence tonight might be a serious problem.

And the Chaos Demon in front of him has not shown any hostility so far.

A safe place, it looks like you still have a lot of questions for me.

Joshua found a chair and sat opposite Al and Zhiye, watching the two high elves.

Zhiye really wanted to ask Qiao Xiu a lot of questions, but Al who was next to him immediately raised his hand.

Um...can I still have dinner here! Al's voice was full of anticipation.

It's no problem that this tavern is open twenty-four hours.

Then...there is a food takeaway service? I heard that Nolan seems to be able to let owls deliver food recently. I will go back to the Hall of Contemplation later.

Al seemed to remember that he was in a state of confinement.

sure.

Joshua's answer made the high elf girl excitedly look at the menu again. During this period, Zhiye finally had time to talk to Joshua.

Excuse me, can you let Aurelian and the others go? They just resent humans, and they don't have any malicious intentions.

Zhiye directly expressed his inner thoughts.

During the time of eating in Hearthstone Tavern, Zhiye thought a lot. When she left Nolan, she knew that the Holy Tree had invited Joshua to visit Arthur Crowe, so Joshua's current identity should be a guest rather than an intruder.

But the Holy Tree's acceptance of Joshua does not mean that other high elves can accept it...

I also thought about letting them go, but your World Tree doesn't agree. Qiao Xiu shrugged and said that he was also helpless.

Sacred tree?

As soon as Zhiye looked up, he saw a white bird standing on Qiao Xiu's shoulder.

Seeing the moment when the consciousness of the sacred tree materialized, Zhiye immediately stood up and performed a high elf ritual towards it.

Great Arthur Crowe, if you want to punish Aurelian and the others, lock them up in the Hall of Contemplation.

Zhiye was not at ease in entrusting the fate of her own clan to Qiao Xiu.

Your world tree said that this punishment is considered light.

Qiao Xiu wanted to subconsciously scratch the white bird's head with his hand, but the white bird tilted its head slightly and took Qiao Xiu's attack away.

In short, the energy of your World Tree is weakening with the passage of time. I came to Arthur Crowe to solve this problem, but your Council of Elders stopped me. Joshua said casually, So the World Tree is in Consider reducing the population of the high elves to... save as much energy as possible.

Zhiye tensed up when she heard the words population reduction, and she instantly thought of the hunger she felt before.

I have to tell the Council of Elders.

Zhiye stood up and wanted to leave the Hearthstone Tavern, but the wall made of frost spread out in front of her, which made Zhiye have to turn around and face Qiao Xiu again.

Sit down. Qiao Xiu gestured, and Zhiye could only obediently sit back in his seat under such circumstances.

Telling this to the Council of Elders will only make the gaffe worse. Joshua stared at the fidgeting high elf girl and said, The conflict will escalate further, and the worst case scenario is that your Council of Elders will do everything possible Drive me away, it will be a bloody war if it develops to that point.

The will of the holy tree, the elders, it is impossible... Zhiye fell into silence again when she said this.

Your Elder Sindonal is already on my side.

Zhiye saw this passage in the text message. Qiao Xiu had considered that there was an unknown high elf behind him.

Zhiye is also smart enough, even though she was very surprised, she still tried her best not to call out that name.

After a moment of silence, she finally made a decision.

What should I do? Zhiye asked.

Don't you really want to rescue your three high elf friends? Joshua threw a bunch of keys to Zhiye.

This building has been refurbished by Qiao Xiu from the inside to the outside. Although the decoration of the rooms is not as luxurious as the lobby, they can still be accommodated.

Rescued means... Zhiye glanced at the key in his hand.

Then go and save them. Of course, the premise is that you won't be able to escape from this tavern. Joshua said, But at least this will ease the tension of your fellow clan, right? A hero has descended or something.

The high elf girl was much smarter than her friends, and quickly understood what Joshua meant. After thanking Joshua, she quickly ran into the depths of the tavern with the key.

You're too kind to those high elves. Seeing that Joshua's conversation had ended, Shirley suddenly said, Free food and lodging, and now I've found a tour guide...

Miss Heli, I used to treat you the same way. Joshua said.

After Qiao Xiu mentioned this, Shirley came back to her senses after she and Qiao Xiu met... Very similar to these high elves, Qiao Xiu also acted as a tour guide himself.

I... I will pay off my work in the future. Shirley said with her face flushed at this moment.

………………

Aurelian's eyes were blindfolded with rags and she was taken all the way to an unknown place.

Although she has lost her vision, she uses her ears to capture everything around her as much as possible.

The magic power in her body completely lost its effect at this moment, and Aurelian didn't know what was going on.

But luckily...according to the voice she heard, the group escorting her took her to a room and left.

Are you guys OK?

After confirming that there was no one around, Aurelian asked the other team members aloud.

Except for being a little weak, everything else is fine.

The other team members quickly got the answer that it was nothing. Aurelian did not expect that the other party would be so careless and lock everyone together.

Aurelian moved her body tentatively, she was sitting on the ground, her arms were completely bound and unable to move.

But judging from the touch from her legs, she wasn't locked in any kind of water prison.

Aurelian moved left and right, trying to break free from the restraints on her body. This attempt lasted for nearly ten minutes...

Sister Aurelian, someone is here!

A member of the team suddenly said that Aurelian also heard footsteps approaching here, and then Aurelian heard the sound of a key being inserted into the door and the door opened.

Is torture and torture finally coming?

The darkness where she couldn't see anything caused a strange fear to climb into her heart, but Aurelian clenched her fists tightly, reminding herself that she must never give in in front of this group of humans.

But in the next second, the rags on her eyes were torn off by the visitor, and it took Aurelian a little time to get used to the dim light around her, and then she could see clearly the appearance of the person in front of her.

You are Branch and Leaf? Aurelian recognized the identity of the other party, a high elf... a high elf who often stays with Al, that is to say, she is also a betrayer?

If I were you I would be quiet right now.

Zhiye whispered to Aurelian, when Zhiye used a dagger to untie the rope that bound Aurelian.

Aurelian's hostility disappeared in an instant, replaced by a feeling of joy that she was finally saved.

After Zhiye untied Aurelian with a dagger, he also untied the other two high elves.

Thank you for your assistance.

Aurelian hesitated for a while, but thanked Zhiye.

You are not out of danger yet.

Zhiye's heart is very complicated, she sincerely wants to rescue her own people, but Joshua, the ruler of this hearthstone tavern, gave Zhiye the key to open the door, and she is not sure if she can get it from a... ...escape from the hands of the ice dragon.

But at least try.
