Chapter 773 Meeting with the Chief
Entering the village of the wood elves, the whole situation was similar to what Silk had expected at the beginning.
Compared with their original village, the biggest difference here is the environment. One is on the grassland and the other is in the forest.
As for development...
There are basically no obvious signs of development. At most, they have built some tree houses for their people to live in.
This was also within Silk's expectations. After all, the elves were like this and would not deliberately develop anything. Simply put, as long as it did not affect their daily lives, it would be fine.
In the past, Silk didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this, but now looking back, he just feels that it is simply unbearable to watch. It is simply a waste of time and life.
Needless to say, life in the Great Zhou has already completely changed the perspectives of a group of grassland elves, including Silk.
Now even if they were asked to change back to their previous state, they could no longer go back.
Along the way, while Silk was observing the wood elves he saw along the way, the wood elves were also observing him.
Compared with the wood elves who were still dressed in a rather primitive style, Silk was definitely glamorous and beautiful. Although they were all elves, they seemed out of place here.
But Silk did not show much discomfort because of this. He walked with his head held high and chest puffed out, appearing to be extremely open and honest, which left a deep impression on many wood elves along the way.
"Silk, the prairie elf, greets the chief of the wood elves!"
Walking into a tree house with vines all over the roof, Silk looked at the figure sitting inside and bowed slightly to show his respect.
It was a slightly slender figure, but Silk didn't think that the other party was weak. He could feel that the other party was full of vitality.
"I am Locke, the leader of the Wood Elf tribe. Come and sit down."
Hearing this, Silk did not refuse and walked over and sat down.
Looking at Silk, who had a handsome face and graceful manners, Locke's eyes unconsciously flashed with admiration, as if he was looking at an outstanding junior.
The elves have a small population, even in ancient times, which makes the relationship between each member of the tribe even closer.
This is especially true for Locke, the patriarch of the clan. In Locke's eyes, every member of the clan is like his own child.
Although Silk came from another tribe, Locke still had great kindness towards him at this time.
"Silk, which branch of your ancestors are you from?"
To put it simply, these elves are the descendants of the troops and tribes of the ancient elves who were scattered around the world during the old civilization period.
Now facing the question, Silk was not vague and gave a direct answer.
Locke's eyes lit up when he got the answer.
"It turned out to be the Elf Knight."
In the old civilization, most elves who could become elven knights had good backgrounds.
Looking at Locke with a face full of emotion, Silk hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to quickly get the topic back to business.
"Chief Locke, I am here to talk to you on behalf of the Great Zhou..."
As he spoke, Silk reiterated his hope that both sides could work together for common development.
However, after listening to it, Locke shook his head.
"There's no need to talk about this anymore. We live well in the forest and have no interest in cooperating with other forces."
Locke refused very decisively, even without thinking.
Silk tried to persuade the other party, but the other party soon showed his almost stubborn side.
To be honest, Silk was a little annoyed. He had never seen anyone so stubborn. He wouldn't listen to anything he said.
But Silk knew in his heart that if he lost his temper and scolded the other party, there would be no hope.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the last words their Majesty told him.
【Sincerity is the eternal killer move! 】
Thinking of this, Silk made up his mind and spoke again...
"Chief Locke! There is something I must say. Your idea is wrong. You can't continue like this."
Then Silk started talking again without waiting for Locke to speak.
"If you don't mind, I'd like you to listen to my story."
After saying this, Silk's mood became obviously heavy.
Perhaps sensing the change in Silk's mood, Locke, who was about to say something, nodded.
And what Silk was going to talk about next was how their village was destroyed and the entire clan was almost wiped out.
This memory was full of pain for Silk. Originally, he didn't want to think about it at all, but now, in order to persuade the chief of the wood elves to reach a cooperation with their Great Zhou, he had to endure the pain and recall it.
Locke obviously didn't expect that Silk and the others had actually suffered such a thing. After being shocked for a short time, an indescribable sadness surged into his heart.
"So this won't work. Your current situation is exactly the same as ours. There are more powerful enemies in this world. When that day comes, how will you deal with it?!"
After all, Locke is the patriarch and has to consider the safety of the entire tribe.
Previously, they refused to contact the outside world and prohibited the tribe members from going out. They have been living in this forest. In essence, this is also for the safety of the tribe.
But Silk's words at this time undoubtedly wavered him.
Just then, a voice sounded from outside.
"Just because you can't deal with it doesn't mean we can't deal with it either."
As the sound rang out, the window of the house was pushed open, and Sean came in directly through the window, causing Locke, who was still struggling the moment before, to scold him angrily the next moment.
"Sean, you little brat! How many times have I told you? Stop climbing through the window!!"
In the past, if Sean was scolded like this by the patriarch, he would definitely back down, but today the situation is different.
Sean stood directly in front of Silk, straightened his body, and looked down at him. It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with what Silk had just said.
"I sympathize with what happened to your people, but you say we will follow in your footsteps? I don't agree!"
Perhaps influenced by the animal spirit in his body, Sion's temperament is wilder than that of ordinary wood elves. Normally, Locke would let him do as he pleased, but at this moment, this kid's behavior was undoubtedly too rude.
Locke was about to scold, but unexpectedly, Silk's voice sounded first.
"You seem very confident in your own abilities?"
"certainly."
Sion raised his chin a little.
Silk was not angry when he saw this, but instead a smile appeared on his face.
"How about this, we have a competition?"
"Let's compete, I'm afraid of you?!"
Sean agreed without thinking.
Then they turned their heads at the same time and looked at Locke who was sitting there.
"Please rest assured, Patriarch Locke. This is just a simple competition. We will stop when we are done."
"Yes, yes, I will be careful not to hurt you."
Sean added somewhat unhappily.
When Locke saw that things had come to this point, he was afraid that if he forced the situation to stop, Sean would cause trouble for him.
Thinking of this, Locke nodded.
"Okay, let's have a competition."
