371 Traitor (2/2)
”You, of course,” replied Roland without hesitation.
Andonara immediately giggled in delight.
Roland was telling the truth.
This female elf was indeed beautiful, but she was not even as pretty as the previous Andonara, not to mention the present Andonara, whose Charm had been further improved after her family bloodline was accessed.
Besides, the elves were generally… skinny, whereas Andonara had attractive curves.
So, in conclusion, Andonara was much more charming than this female elf.
They sat on the wooden stools.
Cage spoke to the female elf. ”Sejuani, this is Andonara, my niece. You may call her Anna. This young man is her man.”
Then, he introduced her to Andonara and Roland, ”This is Sejuani. She was a partner when I worked as a mercenary. By the way, Pettus was my partner too.”
Roland and Andonara were both slightly surprised that the mayor used to be a mercenary.
In her bright green dress, Sejuani was slightly confused. ”Pettus, you've never brought an outsider here before. What happened?”
”They asked me what 'Arcane Windrunner' meant.”
Pettus was quite grave.
Sejuani had been quite relaxed until she heard this phrase. She then became somewhat nervous.
”Where did you learn that phrase?”
Cage immediately replied, ”I overheard it from a mercenary.”
Pettus snorted. ”You're still not telling the truth? Do you not consider us friends at all?”
Sejuani also said, ”That's impossible. Whoever knows that phrase is either involved or dead.”
As he spoke, Sejuani laid her eyes on Roland and said gently, ”I can sense an elven vibe in you that is just like mine. It must be you who want to know what it means, right?”
Cage hesitated, but in the end, he simply scratched his head and didn't say anything.
Pettus chuckled and stared at Cage.
Cage did not look back at him.
Seeing that Cage ”flinched”, Roland said, ”Yes, that's what I wanted to know.”
”It would be weird if Cage, a pure human, asked that.” Sejuani looked at Roland with approval and said, ”But since you carry the elven bloodline, I can basically understand why.”
Roland sensed enormous natural magic power inside the female elf, but the power was rather queer and different from what Roland simulated.
Of course, Roland wasn't sure that the natural magic power he simulated was correct.
After all, she was a legit elf with a pair of long ears, and her natural magic power should be authentic. Roland's was only counterfeit.
Roland said, ”I only heard the phrase from a strange being. My instincts tell me that there's something more behind Arcane Windrunner. I actually caught another name as well: Destructive Druid.”
Pettus seemed slightly surprised.
Sejuani also looked at Roland in surprise. Then she said, ”If you know about Destructive Druid, you are indeed qualified to know this.
”The so-called Arcane Windrunners are traitors among the elves,” Sejuani said solemnly. ”If a pure-blood elf discovered an Arcane Windrunner or a Destructive Druid, they would attack them so crazily that they would rather die together with those traitors.”
