Chapter 272 (2/2)

Because of the ways of Ye Lang, their team became bigger day by day. By the time they reached the edge of Sheng city, the number of people had doubled, reaching around two thousand people.

All these people were already self-sufficient and did not need help from anyone else, what they needed was a place to stay.

Of course, to help other refugees, they still needed to enter Sheng city and see if there were anyone that needed help, for they believed that they could help other people.

“The Holy Mountain is right over there!” Skinny dark man said while pointing at the mountain.

This was a strange mountain. The strange part was not the mountain itself, for no one batted an eye at the mountain. The strange part was that the mountain area was right next to the plain fields right where they were.

The mountain being in the middle of an endless field was what made it strange!

If we were to say that the mountain was a little bit tall, it would make it sound normal, but this mountain touched the clouds! It felt as if it was not supposed to be here, which was why this place was also known as a miracle.

“This holy mountain sure is interesting, standing there all alone. Alvin, Don’t think that that mountain is far from us, it is in fact only a few miles away!” Ye Lang looked at the mountain and felt that it was very close to them, but this was an illusion. An illusion that many had experienced, and an illusion that many understood.

Alvin, the skinny dark man, nodded his head, “That’s right, there is still quite a bit of walking to do, but at least we are able to see it”

“You are correct! I say, Alvin, are you sure you don’t need my help getting your ears back to normal?” Ye Lang simply asked while looking at Alvin.

“……Sir, I have told you many times, my ears are quite normal!” Alvin told Ye Lang, regretting showing Ye Lang his ear.

When Ye Lang left that little town, they had camped near a river at night for everyone to take a bath and change their clothes.

At that time when Ye Lang was acquiring everything from towns, there were many clothes to choose from, but because of the sheer number of people, there was still not enough clothes for everyone. Nonetheless, Ye Lang had extra cloth lying around, so the people who could make clothes started sewing more.

“What? You don’t have a sewing kit? I am full of kits! Do you not remember me buying everything from the sewing shop?”

“Do you see now? There’s a time and place for everything! And now we have put the tools to good use!”

Back to the topic, Alvin showered as well on that night, and even changed his clothes, although he didn’t remember much of it.

Even so, Alvin was still wearing his worn-out hat, while a few people found that weird, some thought it was important to him, and did not bother him about it.

But Ye Lang thought the hat was ugly and prepared a new hat for Alvin. He pulled off Alvin’s ‘hat’, which was just a piece of cloth.

Alvin’s hair was elegant, as soft as silk- the silkiest hair Ye Lang had ever seen. It matched his gorgeous eyes. Ye Lang didn’t care though. He was only focused on Alvin’s pointy ears.

Those were obviously the ears of an elf!

“Are you an elf? No wonder your eyes and skin are so perfect! But you’re darker than an elf!” At that time, Ye Lang blurted it out without thinking.

Just as Ye Lang noticed, Alvin’s dark skin is not because of dust, but because he was naturally darker-skinned (though he was indeed cleaner after his bath). He was tanned, a healthy kind of tan though -unlike Edward’s unnatural poison-induced coal-blackness.
