Chapter 25 Elves

After the natives of the jungle were driven away, the various families in Nasir Town tried to organize people to develop the jungle, but later the development was suspended because it was too difficult.

The Fisher family was surprised and delighted to learn that there were mysterious creatures in the jungle.

Mysterious creatures refer to uncivilized species that possess extraordinary powers.

Their existence is distinguished from that of Warcraft. Although Warcraft also belongs to the category of mysterious creatures, things other than Warcraft, such as dragons, descendants of gods, and children of curse, also belong to the general category of mysterious creatures.

The difference between mysterious creatures and mysterious beings is that the former mostly have entities and complete groups, while the latter are often conceptual individuals with no entities.

What they have in common is that both mysterious creatures and mysterious beings can produce extraordinary materials.

According to some heretical doctrines, the many so-called gods in the world are also a kind of "mysterious existence".

Every believer in the Orthodox Church would get furious the first time they hear such a statement.

"Everyone, be careful. Even if those dirty natives have left, the jungle is still as dangerous as ever."

Lucius and Byrne entered the jungle one after the other, looking alert, followed by ten Fisher family guards.

The experienced mercenary Lucius prepared in advance everything the expedition team needed to survive in the wild, including insect repellent, food, water, tents, fire sources, first aid items and most importantly weapons.

As humans and various alien races develop on the continent of Oden, the number of mysterious creatures on the entire continent is actually becoming increasingly scarce.

It is indeed an extremely rare opportunity for mysterious creatures to appear nearby, and the Fisher family must not miss the opportunity to obtain extraordinary materials.

Lucius stood in front, wielding his sword to clear the way. He calmly looked around and asked:

"Byrne, remember?"

Byrne calmly observed his surroundings, adjusted his glasses, and used the super memory brought by his extraordinary characteristic of "Deep Memory" to memorize the jungle path.

His role in the wild is very important, like a human map, and his super memory can almost ensure that the team will not get lost.

"Remember, all the jungle so far has been in my head."

Lucius nodded slightly and said, "Very good. It is said that the mysterious creature has white fur. Everyone must pay attention to the sudden appearance of white in the jungle."

The search for the mysterious creature in the jungle lasted until noon, but nothing was found. However, Lucius was not discouraged at all but remained very calm.

They found a relatively safe place and decided to take enough time to rest. The guards took turns to be on guard against dangers around them.

Byrne couldn't help but ask a question during the break.

"Father, do you think Rhea from the north will attack us?"

Lucius shook his head and answered nonchalantly: "I don't know, maybe, maybe not. Do you know the dispute between Rhea and us Syat people?"

Byrne nodded and said, "I've read in a book that the meaning of Syat people is 'exiled people'. Hundreds of years ago, we and the Rhea people were originally a country in the center of the continent."

"Later, people from both countries were expelled by the empire and migrated together to the east of the continent."

Byrne paused when he said this. History books are full of stories about the survival of the fittest, which is almost the common fate of all living beings in the world, and no one can escape it.

Were the Syat people once as helpless as the jungle natives in front of the imperial people?

Lucius said nothing, obviously waiting for Byrne to continue.

"Eighty years ago, the Rheas seized the northern lands of the Syats. Later, the Syats continued to learn everything about the empire and gradually built the concept of a nation-state. Only then did their national strength gradually grow stronger."

"Fifty years ago, the powerful Syat people took back the north with the help of the Storm Church and the Redemption Church."

"Since then, there have always been wars and disputes between the Syat and Rhea peoples, until the two countries signed the 'Thirty Years Peace Agreement' under the leadership of the Church of Redemption twelve years ago. Everything has finally come to a standstill, and there are still eighteen years to go before the peace ends."

Byrne thought for a while, shook his head and said, "The war will not break out prematurely. The restraint of the two great orthodox churches is very strong, and the divine punishment is not something that mortals can bear."

His father shook his head and said nonchalantly: "Haha, you are as naive as ever."

Lucius's face showed an unprecedented seriousness, and his eyes seemed to have returned to the war more than ten years ago.

"The reason for the outbreak of the Rhea Civil War is that some nobles want to tear up the peace agreement, which must represent the deep inner needs of some people. You have never experienced a real war and don't understand that some people in the world are just crazy and don't have rational thinking at all."

There are no madmen who can think rationally?

Byrne was stunned. He would always think over and over again when encountering something, and subconsciously weigh the pros and cons. He also felt that his father and Irene would do the same.

But people who don't care about pros and cons and rationality at all, well, seem to really exist, just like the drunkards and gamblers I have seen in some places.

Those people will kill people out of extremely boring impulses and incredible reasons.

But is it the same for the aristocrats in upper society?

Deep down in his heart, he couldn't imagine a reckless war. For some reason, he always felt that the nobles, who were part of the upper class, were more rational, wise and smart, and would not do anything illogical.

After lunch break, everyone continued searching for a while until night fell, when they announced that the search would be suspended for the day.

Byrne woke up from his dream in a daze, glanced at the family guards on duty, and vaguely noticed a hint of white in the forest not far away.

What is that, that mysterious creature?

He was suddenly startled and subconsciously stood up to wake up the people around him, but suddenly found that it was not a mysterious creature at all, but an elf.

Elf!

Although Byrne had seen illustrations and descriptions of elves in books, he had never actually seen one.

It is rare to see foreign races in the east of the continent of Oden. Whether elves, dwarves, or orcs, most of them live in the west of the continent.

He subconsciously stood up and walked slowly, looking at the other person with great curiosity and fascination.

It’s really an elf!

She also stared at the approaching human, her eyes full of vigilance.

The elf girl has a slender figure, long light green hair like a flowing waterfall, unusually bright eyes that reveal wisdom and mystery, and skin of a pure pale color.

The contours of her face were delicate and soft, and her indifferent expression gave people a strange and otherworldly feeling.

What a nice view.

"Byrne!"

Suddenly a loud roar was heard, and Byrne was awakened from his fascination. The white figure not far in front of him disappeared in an instant.

"What are you doing!"

Lucius ran over with a serious face, ready to fight at any time, and the guards were also very alert.

Byrne was stunned for a while, then he murmured and shook his head, saying, "Nothing, I just seemed to see an elf."

"Elf?"

Lucius frowned tightly and immediately organized everyone to search the surroundings. After searching for more than two hours, they still couldn't find any trace of outsiders. There was no such thing as an elf at all.

"Did you see that mysterious white creature and mistake it for an elf?"

Lucius looked at his son in confusion and continued:

"Even though the large-scale slave trade was abolished openly decades ago, all countries except the western part of the continent secretly allowed the trafficking of foreign races. The legendary elves are like a moving gold. In addition, due to the long distance, there are very few elves in the four eastern countries."

Byrne shook his head and said:

"I am not mistaken, absolutely not. You also know my extraordinary characteristics."

Lucius frowned in deep thought, and Byrne recalled what had just happened.

His extraordinary characteristic of "deep memory" made the scene he just saw extremely clear and real, and he could replay it in his mind at any time.

Even if he wanted to forget, it was simply impossible. Byrne couldn't help but recall every detail of the figure in his mind.

What a beautiful life.

That elf girl is like the most moving song in nature, the gurgling stream flowing in the green mountains, full of the gentle breath of life.

He suddenly felt fear that he would never be able to forget that beautiful figure.

But will I have the chance to see her again in the future?
