Chapter 154 - Failed (1/2)
The male elf immediately headed to the man and told him all about Albert and the information he had received earlier.
The elves' expressions became pale when they heard about Albert's identity. After all, it just put more credibility in Albert's words.
However, some of them still denied Albert's identity as there was no proof regarding their connections. Albert might be someone who used this fake identity to threaten them.
So, the man thought for a moment and walked to Albert, asking, ”May I ask for the proof of your connection with her Majesty Lilith?”
”There's nothing I can show you.” Albert shook his head. ”I come here not on behalf of the kingdom. I originally planned to hunt some monsters here until I found a few traces of volcanic eruptions.
”Instead of letting you die without knowing anything, it's better for me to come and tell you.”
When he heard Albert's explanation, he thought that Albert might indeed have some insight into this occurrence. The kingdom might know about it, but because they were a runaway tribe and had been living in seclusion like this, they didn't have the knowledge regarding this incident.
While he was thinking, another elf rose from the ground and snorted. ”Hmph. What relationship? If you can't even prove your relationship, there's no reason for us to believe you. Volcanic eruption? This is the anger of Demon God. You dare to say a disaster is the same as the anger of the Demon God? You're insane.”
Shella tilted her head in confusion, not understanding why this man actually said all this. From her point of view, Albert's explanation was already enough for them to understand that this information was true.
After a while, she thought she had overestimated the knowledge the elves had. Other than Magic and Archery, they might not be as advanced as them in terms of knowledge.
”Although I want to believe you as well, I still can't understand one thing.” The man raised a question while pointing at the volcano. ”Why would the volcano erupt? We've been here for five generations, and not a single time has the volcano exploded…
”You should know that we have a pretty long lifespan, so we have witnessed so many things. All this time, the volcano has never released such smoke. And all of a sudden, it does something like this.”
Albert scratched the back of his head. ”To be honest, this is not my expertise as well. However, with my limited knowledge, I believe this is just the volcano awakening. It has been in slumber for so long, and it's going to wake up. I don't know if this is normal or not, but I believe the volcano is going to erupt.”
”You are not even an expert, and you dare to claim something like this? Are you tricking us to force us out of this forest?” The previous elf that antagonized Albert started his ranting again.
Shella pointed at the elf and said, ”If you're only trying to hinder the conversation, it's better to stay quiet. My master has been humble and calmly explaining all this to you. Yet, you're provoking us all this time.”
The leader raised his hand and stopped Shella. ”Although I appreciate your action, I just can't believe everything you said. First of all, we don't know anything about you. It's true that there is something going on with the volcano. But we don't have any concrete evidence as well to prove that your information is right.
