165 Elf (1/2)

An interesting thing happened in Delpon recently.

An elf was spotted in Aldo's manor, but Aldo was gone. Nobody knew when Aldo disappeared to. His manor then belonged to Roland.

A lot of rumors spread in Delpon. Some said that Roland killed Aldo to steal his power, and some said that Aldo escaped because he feared Roland's formidableness.

Apart from all the rumors, everybody focused their attention on the elf.

What were elves?

They represented beauty, grace, and loyalty.

They were human beings' favorite species. Despite the risk of being attacked by Guardian Druids, most nobles still wanted to get an elf for themselves in secret so that they could have elven offspring.

Because of that, a lot of half-elves had emerged.

However, even the boldest nobles, including the royal family, dare not show the elven slaves to outsiders.

Those Guardian Druids cared little about identity. The moment they found that any elf was being sold as a slave, they would take action.

But in Aldo's… or Roland's manor, the elf appeared freely to the public.

Then, people discovered that the elf was not wearing a magic suppressor on her neck, which meant that she was free and was Roland's guest.

Therefore, many young nobles expressed their wish to visit Roland's manor, but Roland refused all of them for their blatant intentions.

However, there were three people that Roland couldn't turn down.

They were Hawk, Link, and Jett.

Though they were slightly more estranged than before, they were still very close to each other.

In Roland's manor, the four of them sat down around a table.

”An elf,” Hawk said enviously. ”I didn't know that you could invite one of them as your guest.”

Roland found it odd. ”You're interested in elves?”

Hawk nodded hard. ”When I played R18 games in college, I only played those with elf elements.”

Roland frowned hard.

Jett burst into laughter, but Link was absolutely unmoved.

”You're truly blunt.” Roland smiled bitterly.

Hawk shook his head. ”Why shouldn't we be? We're men here. What can men talk about except politics and women?”

Roland and Jett both smiled in acknowledgment.

Link was as calm as before.

”So, you've come here for the elf?” asked Roland.

Hawk nodded. ”Our organization intends to reach out to the elves, so I'm wondering if you can introduce us to your guest.”

Roland looked at Jett. ”What about you?”

Jett shook his head and said, ”The Church of Life and the Druids are aligned, so I'm obliged to help the elves in danger… To put it simply, if she's an elven slave, can you let me rescue her? I'll be rewarded with abundant experience points. Of course, I'll give you coins in exchange.”

Jett shrugged helplessly.

Hawk was relieved. He was afraid that Roland would deny him.

After all, Roland belonged to F6. It was understandable if Roland didn't want him to talk to the elf in the best interests of Roland's guild.

At this moment, Vivian served the guests fruit wine. Roland said, ”Go and bring Serrari here. My friend wants to talk to her.”
