Game of the World Tree - Chapter 288
Chapter 286: Escape, Target: Elf Forest
On the players’ trucks, the elves tied up with forbidden magic ropes were communicating with each other.
“Lady Selina.”
Several elves looked at a blonde elf who looked like a human in her twenties and asked worriedly:
“Where do you think these slave traders are going to send us?”
The elf called Selina hesitated for a moment and shook her head blankly:
“I don’t know, maybe… the Kingdom of Aris in the south. I saw them communicating with merchants before, and they seemed to be nobles from the south.”
“But they claimed to be here to save us, and… after so long, they treated us well except for tying us up.”
Another elf hesitated and said.
“Bruce, do you mean they are all good people? Think about how we were rescued? They… took other compatriots to exchange us, not only that… they even enslaved our other compatriots! Think about what they did in the Chamber of Commerce! That was simply an insult to the elves!”
Another elf gritted his teeth and said.
“But, didn’t they say that those ‘elf compatriots’ were actually their people pretending to be them?”
“Bruce, you are still too young. What kind of place is the Slave Traders? Why would they involve others in order to save us? And… are those humans all fools? They have a way to identify their identities! This… as a senior member of the Oak Hand, you should know!”
“But…”
The elf called Bruce was still confused:
“But… why would they do that? What’s in it for them?”
“I’ve asked other compatriots.”
The indignant elf continued:
“All the compatriots who were rescued were exchanged by these people for two or even three compatriots.”
“So… they must have mastered some means of enslaving us! They want to take us back and sell us at a higher price after enslaving us!”
“But…”
Bruce was still hesitant:
“But… when they came to communicate just now, they looked like elves, and… you should have sensed that they were indeed our people.”
After hearing his words, the elf continued to sneer:
“Tribe members? Since they can enslave us, they can naturally let the enslaved elves deceive us! Have you forgotten how our base was destroyed this time?”
“Enough!”
When the two elves were arguing with each other, the blond elf Selina, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke.
As soon as she spoke, the two immediately quieted down.
Selina was one of the leaders of the Oak Hand and their boss.
Therefore, although the two elves had different opinions, they respected and trusted this partner who had been leading the tribe to save their compatriots under the oppression of humans.
“Lady Selina…”
They looked at Selina, a little confused.
Selina frowned her delicate eyebrows slightly and said softly:
“It’s too early to draw conclusions now… These strange humans, their actions are too contradictory…”
“If they are really slave traders from the Southern Kingdom, then since they have the means of enslavement, there is no need to win us over… Besides, they don’t look like the slave traders I know.”
“But, if they came to rescue us, but controlled our freedom and did that in front of humans… If they are really elves, then they should understand that the dignity of elves… is greater than life!”
Selina was a little confused:
“But, what are they… for? Who are they…?”
After hearing her words, the other elves looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
“Is it… really like they said, that the World Tree has revived, and they are warriors from another world to save the elves?”
At this time, a weak voice sounded.
It was a half-elf girl.
“The Mother Goddess has revived?”
The elf who first spoke up to refute shook his head:
“The Mother Goddess has fallen long ago. This is something that our elves have already confirmed. Otherwise, I would not have left the Elven Forest and joined the Oak Hand to save my compatriots.”
“And… the Mother Goddess is so majestic, so kind and righteous. If She really returns, how could the warriors she summons be like this?”
“The envoys of the Mother Goddess are a natural army composed of 100,000 oak guards!”
As he said this, his expression was a little gloomy:
“It’s just… that’s all history.”
“But… didn’t they explain it? When we were in the Chamber of Commerce, only by doing so can we gain the trust of humans!”
The half-elf girl argued.
“Humph, the elves never despise deception!”
“So you choose to perish?”
“You!”
Listening to her companions’ arguments, Selena’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
However, she neither agreed nor refuted.
In fact, until now, as the carriage continued to move forward, a somewhat absurd thought kept rising and falling in her mind:
What if… what these strange guys said was true?
As one of the leaders of the Oak Hand, Selena has lived in human society for hundreds of years, and she has her own opinions on many things.
For example, she believes that although the fall of the true god is the fundamental reason for the elves’ decline to this point, some of the elves’ own character flaws are also the direct cause of the rapid decline of the race.
Therefore, Selena actually agrees with some of the things those guys said.
Moreover, as a member of the Wind Clan, Selena lived in the Elf Forest when she was young.
At this moment, she has noticed that the direction of the entire team is exactly the direction of the Elf Forest!
However… considering that if they go to the Kingdom of Iris, this road is remote but accessible, so… she is not very sure.
At this time, the carriage stopped.
The door was opened, and the elves and half-elves also saw the bright sunshine outside.
The “humans” who exchanged them from the Chamber of Commerce appeared in front of them, but their expressions were much more serious this time than the last time they met. For
a moment, everyone in the carriage became alert.
What are these people… going to do?
However, to the elves’ surprise, these people led all the elves and half-elves off the carriage, untied them one by one in front of their surprised eyes, and gave each of them a human weapon.
What is this for?
For a moment, all the elves and half-elves were a little confused, whether they were suspicious of the players’ intentions or doubted the players’ identities.
At this time, the elves saw the female leader named Xiao Xian Miao among these “humans” speak:
“Comrades, I know you don’t believe us yet, but you don’t have to.”
“Our plan was discovered by those humans, and the compatriots who replaced you were exposed. Now, those people from the underground chamber of commerce are chasing us and will arrive soon.” “
Escape, the target is the Elf Forest, take the weapons to protect yourself, don’t think about anything else, as long as you escape to the Elf Forest, you will know whether what we said is true or false.”
“Don’t worry, we will never let others hurt you again.”
The other players also drew their weapons, with serious expressions.
Elf NPC… Not a single one is allowed to die!
After all, the use of the BUG to steal the materials failed, and these rescued elves and half-elves were the final harvest of their operation!
