Chapter 346 - The Elven City
When the Elven Queen heard that Ren was looking for someone she straightened her back. It was pretty obvious who the former demon lord wanted to meet. It has been five centuries since that person woke up and became the representative of the tree of life, or was it more accurate to say she was now part of the tree of life.
"Based on your reaction it would seem that I don't even need to tell you who I'm looking for, you already know don't you?" Kara nodded her head and replied.
"I'm not going to lie to you, it is true than we know about the person you seek."
"Then this would be simple then, bring me to her."
"I shall, but before I do so, I need to tell you something," Kara spoke with a bit of nervousness in her tone.
"What is it?" Ren replied sounding a bit impatient, as it has been a few millennia since he last met the naughty little fox.
"Before I continue how should I address you?"
"You can just call me Ren, and the one with me is my little sister Leila."
"Very well, Sir Ren, Lady Leila. I wish to have this conversation in a more suitable place, can I lead you there?"
Ren clicked his tongue as this wishy-washy route was getting on his nerves. 'It's alright it's already been a few millennia, what's a few more minutes.' Ren calmed himself down and nodded his head in acknowledgment.
When Kara heard Ren clicking his tongue she was already expecting the worst, but when she saw him nod his head she sighed in relief in her heart.
'Meeting with the strongest mortal soul is more stressful than anything I have ever been through.' Kara continued to smile as she guided Ren and Leila into the Elven City Emyhesari.
…
Ren and Leila followed Kara and the other elves deeper into the forest. Ren who has been here before was amazed by how much it had changed. Even though he already understood that a couple of millennia has passed since he has been here last, but seeing the difference with his own eyes was something else.
…
The forest had numerous houses on top of the trees. These houses didn't seem like they were built by hand, instead, instead it seems like the trees themselves took the shape of a house. The elves who were inside these houses looked at passing Ren and Leila with curiosity.
…
There was a river flowing through the city and at the end of it was a lake were elven children played.
The few elven children in the city were rather curious about the new arrivals. It was their first time seeing another race and they wanted to approach the newcomers. When Leila noticed the curious stares of the little elven children she smiled sweetly and beckoned the children to come to her.
Seeing Leila's gesture, several elven children happily approached Leila. They gathered around her and looked at her full of curiosity.
"Excuse me, but who are you?" One of the elven children asked.
"Hi, little ones my name's Leila, and that over there is my big bro Ren." Leila pointed at Ren who was waiting for her to finish talking with the children.
"He's your big bro? Then why do you have fluffy ears and he doesn't?"
"That's because I'm the cute one which is why I have fluffy ears, and he's the grumpy one which is why he doesn't have any."
"Miss Leila, can I touch your ears?" Another child asked.
"Sure you can." Leila picked up the child and allowed the little elf child to touch her wolf ears. When the other elven children saw this they all started to get a bit rowdy and asked if they too can touch Leila's ears. Seeing as they were only a few of them Leila allowed all the children to touch her ears.
While every child was having fun touching her ears, Leila noticed that there was one child not joining in the fun.
"Is there something wrong little one?" The elven child had his arms crossed as he answered Leila.
"Can you please stop calling us little ones? I have a name and it's not little one, it's Callon. You can't fool me I've read that people from the outside might look old but are actually younger than us. I'm already seventy-one years old this year."
"Oh is that so? Then I can still call you little one since I'm already eleven thousand fifteen years old." Leila smiled mischievously at the child.
"That can't be, you're a liar. The books in the library said that humans can only live for a century, and only a few can live for more than two centuries."
"Well, I guess that's true. But in the first place, I'm not a human, I'm a demon or to be more precise a werewolf."
"Really?!" Callon suddenly looked at Leila with a blazing curiosity in his eyes.
"You're a demon from the werewolf tribe, so what's your other half?"
"I'm not a half-demon, I'm a full-fledged demon and a pure-blooded werewolf."
"That can't be, I've read that there no pure-blooded demons exist anymore. The history books in the library said that the pure-blooded demons all perished a millennia ago… Oh wait, you're older than a millennium so that means you're from the old era. Are there any more pure-blooded demons like you that survive?"
When Leila heard what Callon said she was once again reminded that this was a different era. Seeing the changing expression on Leila's face one of the elders approached the children.
"That's enough children, Miss Leila and her brother are about to have an important conversation with the Queen." As the elven children were being led away, Callon spoke to Leila.
"Miss Leila, when you're done with your talk, can you tell me more about the werewolf tribe and the other demons from the last era. There's not much information about the previous era in the library so I'm really curious."
Leila looked at Callon whose face was brimming with curiosity. Seeing that expectant look on his face made Leila's lips curve upward.
"Sure, I'll tell you everything I know." Hearing Leila's answer Callon smiled brightly.
"Thank you, Miss Leila, see you later." Callon waved his hands at Leila as he sprinted back to the group of elven children. Leila waved her hands in response and returned to Ren's side.
"Sorry for the delay."
"Are you alright?" Ren asked. Seeing the look of concern on Ren's face Leila nodded her head and smiled awkwardly.
"Yeah… Yeah, I am."
