Chapter 273 (1/2)

Alvin (2)

Alvin’s exquisite tanned skin was naturally beautiful, it was aesthetically pleasing.

Perhaps many would even say he looked like a girl. That would’ve been true in the world of humans, but if he was truly an elf, then it would be quite normal.

“I’m not really an elf, I’m half-elf!” He explained.

“Even if you didn’t tell me, I would’ve also guessed you were an elf. You have very weird ears...” Ye Lang said while he looked at Alvin’s strange ears.

This was why Ye Lang offered to help restore Alvin’s ears to normal. He wouldn’t have offered if they were just elven ears though.

The problem was…

When Alvin said his ears were normal, Ye Lang immediately interrupted to say, “This is what you call normal? You have a human ear and a pointy elf ear on the other side, that doesn’t look normal no matter how I look at it!”

“…” Alvin suddenly became quiet.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re only half-elf... Offsprings usually inherit a complete set of their parent’s traits… Both their ears would be the same! Not like yours… Alvin, I think you might be a special kind of half-elf!!” Ye Lang continued.

Silence.

“Anyway, I still think it’d be better to make your ears the same, It’d make you look so much better!” offered Ye Lang again.

“Never!” refused Alvin, shaking his head.

“Alright, alright. It’s unique anyway, something special only you have!” waved Ye Lang. Not once did he mention the ears again that day.

“…”

The name ‘Alvin’ was also a topic of controversy between them. Back when Alvin said his name, Ye Lang wasn’t paying attention and it sounded vaguely like Alvin to him.

And since Alvin didn’t disagree, the name stuck.

Seven days later, Ye Lang and his team were finally approaching the Holy Mountain. They had passed numerous villages, passed many people who thought they’d never make it this far.

There were many too who thought it might take a few more days to arrive. To their surprise, they were already there!

Very soon, Ye Lang and two thousand of his men met with the other refugees. They found the other refugees easily, too easy.

There were over a hundred thousand refugees, how hard could it be?

Ye Lang was astonished at the size of the crowd. Looking at all of them, he and all his men felt tiny compared to all of the refugees.

“I knew there would be a lot of refugees, but I did not expect so many of them here!!“ blurted Ye Lang...

It was easy to imagine what a hundred thousand refugees would look like. However, when they were there, right in front of his eyes, everything felt very different.
