Chapter 192 - The Way Back Home (X) (2/2)
There are a few elf folks guarding in the village. And as expected of the elves, they are all blonde and wears green-colored clothes. Most of them have a bow and arrow as a weapon which means most of them are Hunter classes.
”Halt! State your business humans,” the elf guard stopped us from advancing the elf folk village.
”We are seeking the village chief of the elf folks. We are here to deliver a baby of an elf folk couple who have died from the hands of the demons. This baby was the only survivor.”
The two elf guards looked at each other and silently nodded.
”Can we inspect and see if the baby is real and you are not just making something up?”
”Sure,” I agreed and beckoned Goro who is currently illtaking the baby from Dolly's arms.
The elf folk guards look at the baby and they gave us a meaningful look.
”We will take the baby and we will make sure the baby will be delivered to the Village Chief.”
The guards then try to take the baby from Goro's hands, however, I stopped Goro from doing so and move him away from the guards.
”What are you doing?” the guard was confused.
”I don't know why but you two have suspicious vibes. I don't think we can entrust the baby to the two of you,” I said.
”Very sus indeed,” Chase and Hagane nodded to each other.
”Hand the baby over or you won't get away from this,” the guard gave a threat.
”How about.... No?”
”Then we have no choice but to capture you all. GUARDS!”
That's the moment we immediately retreated. Dolly quickly maneuvered the horse of the carriage and we quickly ride the carriage. The elf folk gave chase while shooting at us. However, we managed to deflect them thanks to Hagane's preemptive casting of a defensive skill that allows the arrows to temporarily target his shield.
I look at the notification that popped up from our interface.
[The Elf folk are now hostile to you. You will be attacked on sight.]
”Master? How did you know they are acting suspicious?” Goro asked.
”Based on how weird they act, they don't seem like noble like and they seemed to have no elegance in them unlike how they usually are. Not only that, elf folks are said to be welcoming to other people unless they are enemies.”
”Yep, you are right. Elf folks are not like that and your choice of running away from that place after you notice the suspicious behavior of them are the right one.”
That's when I notice someone else were in our carriage. Hagane was so shocked he fell from his seat.
”Hagane, be careful! Don't shake the carriage so much! I can't control the carriage if you shake it!”
”Sorry! I am just shocked. It won't happen again!”
I immediately pull out my weapon and changed it to a gun. It is the easiest to use and has a quick attack compared to a sword.
”Don't be alarmed. I am not here to make enemies,” the elf said and pull off his hood off. His hood revealed it to be an elf folk. However, he is a bit old.
”Huh? An elf folk?! Aren't the elf folk hostile?!” Chase immediately heightened his guard up.
”Relax, relax. I am not the same as them. Those guys are somewhat influenced in dark energy so they are currently in a very bad way. I will introduce myself as the current Village elder of the elf folk. However, due to the incident, I would have to say that my status as the elder will not be effective until the situation has been cleared out.”
