"Saint Luna...you are Saint Luna's son?" The old orc reacted very strongly upon hearing Luna's name, and even the wrinkles on his face began to fold with excitement.
"Yes, she met my father while traveling, and that's how I came to be... You've met her, haven't you?"
Kabur nodded, a look of reminiscence on his face. "That was many years ago. She came here as a traveler from the royal court and helped us a lot!"
"Please come inside to talk!" Kabur realized that his attitude earlier was inappropriate and quickly invited Qin Mo and Helena inside.
“A esteemed member of the bloodline deserves the respect due to you, but we have nothing to offer that befits your status. Please forgive us!” Kabur served Qin Mo honey water and dried fruit, expressing his apologies with shame.
Qin Mo sensed movement behind the door to the inner room, and then saw several small heads peeking out, with bright eyes staring at Qin Mo and the honey water and dried fruit on the table.
Kabur's face showed a loving expression. "These are all children of the free elves in the city, sent here to learn the traditions of our elven race according to the rules of our ancestors."
Looking at the group of young children, Qin Mo finally understood why Helena and the others could tolerate those greedy smugglers. They were too young and needed better living conditions.
"It's been decades, and the royal court has finally sent someone again. Recently, several surrounding tribes have been restless, and our people are finding it very difficult to survive. Your arrival is just in time!"
Faced with Kabul's eager gaze, Qin Mo said shyly, "Uncle Kabul, I'm not from the royal court..."
"Oh! I'm so sorry, I thought..."
Seeing Kabur's eyes quickly dim, Qin Mo couldn't help but say, "Actually, I could also visit the nearby tribes!"
Kabur waved his hand and said, "When Saint Luna came last time, we gave them enough warnings, so they don't dare to go too far now."
Qin Mo understood his meaning. Every few decades, the Elven Royal Court would send a super-powerful expert to Oslo to warn the surrounding orc tribes and instill fear in them of the Elven Royal Court.
Kabur was worried that Qin Mo's lack of strength would cause the orcs to lose their respect for the elven royal court, and that this last remaining land of the free elves would no longer be safe.
"Uncle Kabul, have you seen this person before?" Qin Mo took out the portrait of Qin Lan that she had drawn last night based on her memories and asked him to identify it.
"Oh! I've seen him before. Six years ago, on a full moon night, this person entered the royal court and never came out again." To chat about *Sailing and Conquest* with more like-minded people, follow "or" on WeChat to discuss your favorite books with other book lovers.
