Game of the World Tree - Chapter 352

352. Chapter 350: Elf? Another Elf?

That was the news from the traveling merchants from the Death Desert.

It is said that last year, the orcs organized a war against the evil god, but suffered a disastrous defeat in the war…

tens of thousands of troops were destroyed, the king of the orcs died in the war, and even their inherited artifacts were lost.

And it is rumored that the elves who fought against the orcs were a group of elves who believed in the evil god.

They are well-equipped, numerous, tyrannical and cruel, and extremely powerful…

When Huoxu heard this news, he didn’t believe it at all.

Elves who believe in the evil god? Tyrannical and cruel? Numerous? And they can also destroy an army composed of tens of thousands of orcs? What

a joke!

Even though Huoxu is a resident of the underground, he knows the nature of the elves very well.

Although those beautiful long ears are powerful, they are as weak as sheep, and they are famous for being pious. How could they believe in the evil god?

They rarely kill the enemy when they fight against him, let alone tyranny.

Moreover… who doesn’t know that the population of the elves is getting smaller and smaller, where can they get the strength to destroy the tens of thousands of orcs?

In Huoxu’s opinion, the news that the orcs suffered a disastrous defeat in the battle should be true. After all, they have suffered many setbacks when fighting with the human empire for thousands of years. And this time,

they are probably fighting with the human kingdom of Aerys again. But if it is said that the setback came from the elves and led to their annihilation, it would be too exaggerated.

Impossible, absolutely impossible, it is definitely a rumor!

Huoxu had forgotten this absurd news after hearing it, and he neither cared nor believed it.

However, today, when he came to Black Rock City and saw these strange elves here… he suddenly became alert in his heart.

These elves… are so similar to the description in that absurd rumor!

Not only that, if Huoxu remembered correctly, the Deep Crack Cave where Black Rock City is located seems to be located below the Dark Mountains, very close to the Forest of Elves, and even closer to the battlefield where the orcs were defeated in the rumor!

Death God is above… Could it be that the rumor is true?

Inexplicably, Huoxu suddenly hesitated in his heart.

Along the way, he carefully observed these elves, comparing them with the long ears he had seen in his memory. The more he compared them, the weirder they felt, and the more he compared them, the more alert he felt…

He had to be alert.

For the Silent City-State Alliance, the evil gods were a very sensitive issue. They were always on guard against the erosion of these fallen great beings…

Therefore, when he realized that these elves might have problems and might be related to the evil gods, Huoxu’s heart was lifted.

However, looking at the elves moving freely in Black Rock City, and the dark dwarves around who were accustomed to the existence of elves and even extremely enthusiastic, Huoxu felt that things might not be as simple as he thought.

While the old dwarf was thinking, the group finally arrived in front of the Death God Temple in Black Rock City.

The high-level officials of Black Rock City had already been waiting in front of the temple, and Huoxu also saw the head of the Death God Temple from a distance – Lady Eno, the God’s Favored One.

He put away his thoughts, put on a smile, and asked the members of the delegation to present their gifts. At the same time, he said to the Dark Dwarf Temple Master:

“It’s been many years since we last met, Ms. Eno, you are still so beautiful… May the God of Death protect you forever.”

“It’s been many years since we last met, Lord Huoxu, may the God of Death protect you forever.”

The Dwarf Temple Master returned the greeting.

After that, she showed a friendly smile and said:

“I have received the oracle and know the purpose of your visit. You have worked hard on the way. The temple has arranged accommodation in the tavern. Please take a rest. We will have further exchanges after lunch.”

After hearing the other party’s words, Huoxu also felt a little hungry.

They rushed all the way here in a hurry, and indeed they had not had a good rest or food for several days.

After expressing their gratitude to Ms. Eno, the delegation, led by the dwarf guards, checked into a brand new tavern called “Amway” opposite the temple.

The exterior of the tavern was ordinary, but the interior decoration was quite exquisite and elegant.

Dwarves in exquisite maid uniforms and butler uniforms came and went in the tavern, and there were dwarf bards playing relaxing and melodious music. This place was completely different from the rough style of ordinary taverns in the underground world, but it was very similar to the noble hotel in the above-ground world… which surprised the group.

After washing and resting, and sitting at the table, the meals prepared by the tavern opened the eyes of these envoys from the prosperous area of the underground world.

Unlike the common food in the underground world, they were served with white bread with a strong wheat aroma, exquisite and spicy barbecue, various gorgeous dishes that could not be named, fragrant fruits, and a transparent wine with great aftertaste but excellent taste.

“God of Death? There are white breads in the tavern of Black Rock City? The last time I ate these things was at the celebration of the city-state!”

“Hiss… Fruits! So many fruits! Very sweet and crisp! These are definitely fruits from the world above ground!”

“The barbecue here smells so good! It seems that spices have been added! They are so extravagant to add spices to the barbecue!”

“And wine! This is definitely the best wine brewed from grains! It has a unique mellow aroma!”

“Black Rock City… is it so rich? It is indeed an underground city-state close to the surface…”

The delegation could not help but admire the delicious food while enjoying it.

You know, the environment in the underground world is harsh, and the food is relatively monotonous and scarce compared to the surface world. Even though they are powerful in their own city-state, they rarely enjoy such delicious food.

And it is obvious that these delicious foods all come from the ground.

However, unlike the exclamations of others, Huoxu was surprised and a little surprised.

He came to Black Rock City once more than ten years ago.

And in his memory, Black Rock City did not have such good conditions at that time!

You know, the underground cities close to the surface world do not necessarily have developed commerce and abundant materials, because the location of the entrance to the surface world must also be considered…

Generally speaking, only those close to a developed surface civilization, especially human civilization, can bring rich surface specialties to the underground cities close to the surface.

The exit of Black Rock City corresponding to the surface world is very remote in the Segos world. It is a dark mountain range where no birds shit…

At most, it is adjacent to the Elf Forest where almost only monsters and plants are left.

So, where do such rich products come from?

Huoxu just noticed that not only they eat these delicacies, but the dwarves in the tavern hall also enjoy delicacies from the surface!

Thinking of this, Huoxu could not help but hold the dwarf steward who was serving them, and asked curiously:

“Friend, where do you get all this food here?”

The dwarf held by Huoxu was a little reserved. He bowed first, and then answered respectfully and proudly:

“Sir, our tavern belongs to Amway Trading Company, which is a chamber of commerce organization founded by us and our elf partners. Our food is all traded with our enthusiastic elf partners.”

Elves? Elves again?

Huoxu was slightly stunned.
