As the Elf Queen was deciding on their representative for the Sword Dance Rite, Rhode led Lize, Anne, and the littleplace
The gathering place was entirely different froreenery surrounded the area with two clear, sloing strea a circular plaza The Elves sat on tall tree branches and lawns on both sides, listening to the har Elves in the ers and their suave, melodious voices resounded in the vast forest
If the performers were the Huraceful perfor so Before gathering at this place, Rhode had warned Anne and Lize that they shouldn’t applaud nobecause the Elves deeply valued the beauty of nature Those who truly respected their perfor quietly
The arrival of Rhode’s group had attracted a lot of curious gazes since Humans rarely visited them Due to various reasons, seldom would there be Humans who entered the Elf Forest as orous rules, and they would rather stay in the resting points ran by the Elves than to find trouble for themselves Moreover, Rhode’s beautiful facial features weren’t too different fro in water ball was also fascinating to theh Rhode was in their gathering place, he didn’t seem anxious at all Instead, the hidden paths in the underbrushes and bushes didn’t pose a probleh he had lived in the Elf Forest for years However, the Elves were sure that they had never seen hie, but Lize and Anne also felt dubious Logically speaking, Rhode shouldn’t have visited this place before However, he led theuide on a ‘Free One-day Elf Forest Tour’ Lize and Anne barely recognized the s and plants in Blackberry Town, but they failed to find any traces of h the Elves also lived in wooden houses, their wooden houses were different from the Humans’ The Elves joined and stacked branches to create their own space Looking froreenish treetop However, not only could Rhode recognize which were the Elves’ houses in a single glance, but he also educated the three young ladies from time to time about the history, interests, and acco that Lize suspected if he was a locally born and bred Elf disguised as a Human
“What a beautiful place…”
Lize turned to the circular plaza where the melodious voices sounded from It was simply a paradise of her dreah the one far away and the troubles bugging the Huot by everyday peacefully and had no conflicts about money, fame, and status If it were possible, Lize hoped to stay here forever to get away froreat place!”
Anne nodded with ift given to Anne by an Elf child and there was nothingthan food for Anne
“Woah… So delicious Lize, Little Cutie, do you want one too?”
Anne retrieved two more apples from her pocket and waved theladly while the little ainst the wall of the water ball and curiously scrutinize the apple in Anne’s hand She hesitated for aher hand However, she quickly retracted her hand as soon as she touched the outer wall of the water ball as though she had scorched herself
“What a pity”
Anne let out a chuckle before biting on the apple in her hand oncesound This was also awith the little ers and wouldn’t approach others closely apart froh Anne and Lize had been by the littlethe way, she appeared h Anne had been ‘deter the littlea distance froive up Anne liked this little fella a lot because such a cute and a playmate was hard to come by There were even a few ti whenever she saw the little mermaid… However, Anne felt hopeless because the little mermaid had been rather wary of her If Rhode had to leave her side, the little et close to Lize than to be with her
If Rhode knew about this, he would surely lanificant
“Mr Rhode”
Suddenly, the group heard a voice Rhode lifted his head and witnessed Corina leaping off a tree and landed gracefully on the ground like an agile cat She nodded to Rhode
“You guys are easy to spot”
“Is anything the matter Miss Corina?”
Rhode twitched his brohile Corina pondered for a
“Mr Rhode, the Elf Queen has decided If it is convenient for you, we shall hold the Sword Dance Rite tonight If both of theree to your request for entry into Ivory Valley,” Corina said with a colance to Rhode’s side, but failed to spot the two girls anywhere near him Corina was also confused by her emotions Ever since she heard the past achievements of the Carlesdine, her hts She realized that she had understood why Rhode wished to enter Ivory Valley now If the two girls were indeed Carlesdine, thererelated to them in Ivory Valley However, it was due to this that Corina felt guilty Although it wasn’t her responsibility, she felt that the two heroes who had sacrificed theh
“Oh?”
Rhode didn’t notice Corina’s reaction Instead, he was surprised by her words He thought that his request wouldn’t be that easily approved because, no matter if it was Ivory Valley or Sword Dance Rite, they were the traditions of the Elves Participating or entering as a Hu to Rhode’s experience in the game, any of the Elves’ discussions usually lasted days before decisions were finally ame, after his reputation in the Country of Law had reached new heights and he gained the authority to enter the Elf Dominion to seek assistance This hy Rhode was used to it Whenever he required assistance from the Elves, he would send out his application a few days earlier and head out for missions meanwhile After Rhode completed the ht not have even come up with a solution But this time, he didn’t expect that the Elves actually approved the Sword Dance Rite suggestion so quickly
Although he didn’t knohy the Elves were so unusual this ti for him to settle this problem as quickly as possible He nodded hurriedly
