Chapter 14 (2/2)

“Jack, why did you bring a human with an elvish bloodline here?”

Elvish bloodline? Chu Nan furrowed his brows. He very much wanted to know the appearance of humans without the elvish bloodline. At the very least, the humans he saw who fought over the skill books looked no different to the humans on Earth.

Seeing that Chu Nan had yet to react to the three spears aimed at him, Jack hastily stood in front of him and blocked them. With a solemn expression, he said, “Stop, this is a guest I invited.”

“Guest?”

The three druids looked at the others who had returned together with Jack and noticed that Jack was not the only one with a solemn expression. On the faces of the other druids, there were traces of worry.

Jack then turned toward Chu Nan and said, “My apologies. It has been a long time since our village has seen other races, and so, they are nervous.”

The three druid guards were secretly surprised. Jack had never been so humble even toward Aleta, the strongest warrior in the village. So why did Jack use that tone of voice when he spoke to a human they could not sense any power from?

Before the three druids had the opportunity to ask any questions, the largest thatched house on the tree slowly opened, and an old druid with white eyebrows and a beard walked out. He had an aged face, but his eyes flickered with a bright glint.

“Elder.”

Jack placed his hand against his chest, bowed toward the old druid that appeared, and then turned to Chu Nan, “This is the sole elder of our village, Elder Alfred.”

Elder Alfred slowly nodded and looked at the furious Catherine, before turning toward Chu Nan. His eyes revealed a puzzled look as he said, “Jack, this is…?”

“Elder, this human here with the elvish bloodline is called Chu Nan. He said that he could heal Aleta’s injuries, so I brought him here.”

The moment he said that other druids walked out of their rooms surprised. Anyone who had seen Aleta’s injuries was aware that unless they used a blood sacrifice, nobody could heal his injuries.

Even Elder Alfred – who had lived for a long time – had a faint trace of surprise in his eyes. He frankly asked, “Human, are you a priest of the Temple of Light or a servant of the Temple of Darkness?”

“Temple of Light? Temple of Darkness?” With a puzzled expression, Chu Nan asked, “What’s that?”

Elder Alfred’s expression sank, and his voice became imposing. “Since you’re not a clergy, on what basis do you have the confidence to heal Aleta? You must know that for druids who believe in the Druid God, even if you treat them with holy light or darkness, it won’t have any effect.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Chu Nan frowned with discontent and cleared his voice, “Jack has promised that if I successfully heal Aleta, you will provide me with a generous reward. Therefore, I reluctantly followed him here. Don’t assume that I’m the one who’s begging you to cure that so-called Aleta warrior of yours. If you don’t need my help, then very well! Goodbye!”

Chu Nan pretended as if he didn’t care, and turned to leave with traces of anger on his face. In reality, he was extremely nervous. If he left the druid village, he had no idea which direction to take to leave the Heaven Forest

Jack released a strange cry, and he hastily rushed to catch up with Chu Nan. He blocked his path, before whispering, “If the elder’s words have hurt you, I would like to apologize on his behalf. In any case, please do not leave, alright?”

Jack’s words dissipated Chu Nan’s worries, but he still maintained a calm yet dissatisfied expression. He merely nodded and answered in a soft voice, “Okay.”
