Chapter 209: Looking for Trouble
The white wolf nostalgically withdrew his gaze from the statue of Friderus, to be honest, except for the fact that one of the protagonists of this statue was his sister, everything else was perfect, and the skills of the elven craftsmen were really high, and the statue was carved to life. ()
He continued to follow the fawn towards the core of the elven territory, and the further he went, the fewer buildings there were, and the more beautiful the scenery became.
Along the way, the white wolf met a number of elves, these pointy-eared people looked like ordinary civilians, they were dressed in fine silk coats, wearing ornaments made of tree branches, everyone was very energetic, and seemed to have a fairly good standard of living.
Judging from the fact that all the elves can wear silk clothing, their production technology and quality of life are definitely superior to that of humans, according to the information he learned from the witch Elisa, in the human world, generally only nobles and wealthy people are qualified to wear silk clothes, while ordinary commoners only have the ability to wear cloth clothes.
Of course, whether it is a human or an elf, the standard of living is definitely much better than that of goblins, and now many goblins are still living in the "primitive era" of nakedness.
The attitude of these elven civilians towards the white wolf is somewhat intriguing, the children cast curious glances when they see the white wolf, while the slightly larger elves are different, when they detect the white wolf's gaze, sometimes they will dodge, and sometimes they will look back in anger. From these manifestations and actions, the white wolf can clearly draw a conclusion, that is, the attitude of ordinary elves towards foreigners is not so friendly, they are a little vigilant, and even a little hostile, and a xenophobic mood permeates the elf society.
The white wolf didn't know why the elves had such emotions, maybe it was because they were too vicious, or because the elves were naturally reluctant to see outsiders, or some other reason?
In fact, the reason for this emotion is not important, the important thing is that this emotion has hindered the white wolf's mission, and now he can only hope that the attitude of the elf upper echelons and ordinary civilians will be different, so that his work can be done better.
"Hey, don't be in a daze. We're almost there. Just as the white wolf was thinking, a reminder from a deer suddenly sounded in his ears.
The white wolf looked up, and saw that in front of him was a huge complex built on the mountain, its gate was at the bottom of the mountain, and the whole complex went upward, until it reached the halfway point of the mountain, and there was a gorgeous and imposing residence near the mountainside, and at a glance it was clear that its owner was either rich or noble, and there was a small river in the valley, which should be the source of water for this elven territory.
In addition, this mansion is also heavily guarded, although it cannot be said that it is five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry, but it is enough to see how important the identity of the people who live in it is.
When the guards on the tower saw the two animals, they opened the side door, and the guards guarding the side door also lowered their spears and put them in, apparently having communicated in advance.
The deer led the white wolf to a house near a gate, then turned to look at him.
"Alright, that's the end of my duties, you can live here first. Your Lord will summon you in a while. Deer said.
"Thank you very much, by the way, is there anything I need to pay special attention to when I meet the lord?" asked the white wolf again, just in case.
"I don't think it's the lord who needs to pay attention, it's the three young men who do everything to win the favor of the lord's daughter. The fawn reminded in a friendly way.
"Thank you very much, I'll take note. "The white wolf and the fawn said goodbye.
After a long journey, the White Wolf finally had a place to settle down temporarily, the interior of the apartment was nicely decorated, but it was clearly intended to be inhabited by humanoids, and it seems that the person who built it did not consider the occupant to be an animal.
"The lord's daughter" The white wolf muttered to himself, from what he had just said, he could judge two pieces of information, the first was that his area was governed by an elven lord, and the second was that the elven lord was considering a marriage for his daughter, maybe he could make some fuss about it?
However, it didn't take long for the white wolf to give up such an idea, he was an outsider, but he was not qualified to point fingers in this matter, so it was better to concentrate on completing his own business first.
However, the white wolf didn't expect that he didn't look for trouble, but the trouble found him first, and just when he was about to rest first, there was a knock on the door of his apartment.
"Knock! knock!" The knock on the door was quite heavy, and the white wolf felt that the visitor was not good, but after all, this was someone's territory, and he couldn't keep shrinking, so he went to open the door.
After the door was opened, the white wolf saw an elf with a sharp chin standing in front of his door, taking advantage of his height and looking at him condescendingly.
This did not offend the white wolf, after all, after he became a wolf, his body was no longer suitable for standing upright, and it was normal for him to appear short in the face of a creature that walked on two legs, and if he had to worry about such a trivial matter, then he would not have to stay in this other world anymore.
"I heard that you are an envoy from the fox clan, why are you so weak that you can't even transform into a human form? Don't you fox clan have anyone else available?" The elf looked at the white wolf with disdain, and his gaze did not look like he was looking at an intelligent creature, but like a beast.
"Our fox clan has been attacked by humans, and now the situation is in danger, and the strong who can transform have to protect the old and the weak and the wounded, so they sent me to discuss this matter. Besides, I'd like to ask, who are you?" the white wolf asked.
"A mere beast is not qualified to know the name of a noble elf. Don't talk nonsense, I've already figured out the truth, you're not a fox at all!Arrest this impostor!" The elf with the pointed chin stretched out his hand and pointed at the white wolf, and immediately a number of elven guards in light armor rushed forward, holding chains in their hands, looking like they wanted to capture the white wolf alive.
"Is it really discovered" The white wolf smiled bitterly, his size was too large, his coat color was white, not like a fox at all, and the elves were not stupid species like goblins, and his random nonsense was quickly exposed.
"I'm just a fox, why did you frame me?" Even if he knew that he had been recognized, the white wolf still didn't want to admit it easily, because things were a little strange, if the other party recognized him, why did he have to wait until he entered the core area of the elves before he did it? What if he caused civilian casualties when he resisted? If the other side recognized his identity, wouldn't it be safer and safer to do it on the outskirts of the elven territory, that is, in the forest with powerful guardians?
"Don't quibble, tie it up for me!" the pointy-chin elf seemed to have already asserted his judgment.
Dozens of iron locks were overwhelmingly tied to the white wolf, but the white wolf seemed to be "frightened", he couldn't dodge at all, and even sighed until he was tied tightly by the iron cable, like a zongzi.
"Your Highness, we have subdued this beast, and now it is at your disposal!" one of the elven guards reported.
"Hmm~ not bad! Not bad! Under the nose of His Royal Highness the Lord, I caught the spy who tried to invade the elven territory, so he should be in favor of me. After all, only a man of my kind of wisdom, careful observation, and decisive action can be worthy of his daughter, don't you?" the pointed chin elf paced the white wolf with a haughty step, while self-absorbed.
"Yes, of course, I can't think of anyone more suitable to marry that young lady than His Highness Farr, in fact, she should have climbed you high, after all, you are, the elves!"
"Well, what you said makes a lot of sense, if it weren't for my old-fashioned old father who wouldn't allow me to tell my identity, who would dare to fight with me?" The pointy-chin elf stepped on the white wolf's body with his boots, and said smugly, looking like the elven hero who killed the demon wolf, Vedrius.
"I said, this burlesque should be over. The tightly tied white wolf spoke.
"Hmm, what do you mean by that, do you want to be whipped?" the pointed chin elf looked at the white wolf in surprise, obviously not expecting this "beast" to dare to speak at this time.
"It's nothing, I just think this kind of plot is too old-fashioned, and I just think it's a little boring. The white wolf replied, and at the same time, the sharp-chin elf felt a terrifying heat coming from under his feet, and reflexively lifted his foot on the white wolf.
The astonishing temperature was emanating from the white wolf, and the chains tied to him were melting one after another, turning into golden molten iron, and some of the chains even burned directly, bursting with crackling sparks, and everyone around could feel the amazing heat coming from the air.
"How is that possible?" the pointed chin elf's eyes widened, unable to believe what was in front of him.
"Your Highness, don't be dumbfounded, look at your boots. The white wolf shook the molten iron on his body, stood up, and then reminded him "friendly".
"Boots, my boots!" His Highness Farr expressed confusion in the first sentence and horror in the latter, he found that the boots he had just stepped on the white wolf were actually burning, and what the white wolf had done before was so shocking that he was completely unaware of the danger in his body.
