Chapter 731 -464: New Member Joins_2
It’s better to keep it a secret for now!
In cooperation with Lis, Jade City naturally showed enough sincerity.
Not only were all the materials Lis applied for delivered in excess, but the members of Nature’s Wrath were also quickly assembled for him.
…
“Erik, you’re here too?”
An elf youth dressed as a ranger slapped the back of the warrior in front of him who was carrying a light shield and greeted him with a laugh.
“Xia Zuo?”
The elf warrior standing in front turned around, and could only give a wry smile when he saw his friend.
Ever since they were kids, Erik had always wanted to sneak up and scare him.
Now they were both over a hundred years old, still playing this game?
“Did your dad throw you over here too?”
Xia Zuo said with a smile, sizing up Erik from head to toe.
Years had passed, and this guy’s presence had become much stronger!
But I’m not falling behind either!
“What do you mean, ‘throw’?”
Erik shook his head and said in a low voice to the several elves standing around him:
“If the elders sent us here, they must have their reasons.”
“Also, Uncle Mark must have mentioned to you the situation with Nature’s Wrath, right?”
Xia Zuo stroked his chin, nodding his head curiously:
“That’s true, he did tell me, but to be honest, I find it hard to believe.”
“A human suddenly becoming a favored individual of World Tree Yggdrasil, I mean, doesn’t that sound a bit too strange?”
Erik looked at Xia Zuo speechlessly, his gaze was like looking at an idiot.
Your father, Mark, is a major councilor of the Elf Council in Jade City; would he get such a matter wrong?
Erik pulled Xia Zuo aside and said in a hushed tone:
“Don’t just blabber about these things. Although many here know about it, it’s still in the secrecy phase.”
“Besides, do you know where we are?”
“Where?”
Xia Zuo glanced around the martial arts arena and at the Elf High Tower not far away, and asked with a shrug:
“I don’t have any impression. You know it’s been many years since I last came back.”
“But honestly, Nature’s Wrath must be a force newly established by that Favored individual, right?”
“The area it occupies is so vast!”
Erik shook his head and whispered:
“This used to be the Illiser Family’s station in Jade City, so now you understand, right?”
“Huh?”
Xia Zuo was startled and whispered:
“Are you saying that this World Tree Favored is related to the Destruction of the Elf Court?”
“I’m not entirely sure, but it seems to be the case.”
Erik slightly shook his head, stating uncertainly:
“I asked my father about it, and it seems he knows something, but he didn’t tell me. He just told me to behave and listen.”
“Said it’s a rare opportunity.”
“My dad said the same thing.”
Xia Zuo nodded:
“He also told me to ask you if there was anything unclear.”
“I have no idea what it’s about, they suddenly called me back from Andor City.”
“Uh…”
Erik didn’t expect Xia Zuo’s father would so blatantly tell Xia Zuo to listen to him. How much could he not trust Xia Zuo?
“Alright, let’s just observe for now.”
Erik pointed to the familiar faces that had appeared in the martial arts arena and said in a low voice:
“Do you see? Many of them are our acquaintances.”
“If they’re all here, there certainly won’t be any issues.”
Seeing this, Xia Zuo agreed with his friend’s view.
Despite spending many years in Andor City and only recently returning to the Jade City, he grew up in Jade City, and many of the elves around him were his childhood friends, so he recognized them.
Those who could appear here were all young elves of the same generation. There were no elders to be seen.
“Hey, who’s that standing over there?”
Xia Zuo suddenly noticed that on the east side of the Martial Arts Arena, a neat column of Elves was standing.
There seemed to be around two hundred of them, about the same age as him, but the aura they exuded was completely different, faintly emanating a calm and bloody scent.
Although their eyes showed curiosity about their situation, they did not chat with each other like the other Elves scattered around the arena but stood there silently.
“Oh…”
Erik glanced over and then said in a low voice,
“That’s the Elf Guard from Jade City, the ones responsible for hunting down the Slave Capturing Team.”
“How do you know that?”
“You know them?”
Xia Zuo was curious. The Elves gave off the vibe of battle-hardened warriors and were faintly divided into different squads.
Although he was confident in his own strength, stronger than many Elves standing there, he wasn’t sure he could defeat these well-coordinated Elf Teams in the chaos of battle.
“Of course… not familiar.”
Erik turned his head, pointed in that direction, and looked at Xia Zuo with a strange expression, saying,
“But don’t tell me you’ve forgotten that person?”
“Who?”
Xia Zuo followed the direction of Erik’s finger and looked with curiosity.
But when he saw the figure standing before all the Elves, wearing a sky-blue Mage robe, he was stunned.
He rubbed his eyes uncertainly but his sharp Ranger’s eyesight couldn’t be mistaken.
“How can it be her?!”
Cendelle Baldivia!
Xia Zuo’s childhood shadow, this Elf Girl had always firmly suppressed mischievous him, casting a deep shadow in his young heart.
But this wasn’t right. When he left for Andor City from Jade City, hadn’t Cendelle gone to the Elf Land?
From what Erik implied, was she now in the Elf Guard?
Noticing his friend’s disbelief, Erik chuckled inwardly, but his expression did not change.
“She’s been back for a while, always in the Elf Guard of Jade City.”
“Cendelle has now broken through to the Golden Rank; I thought she wouldn’t participate this time. I didn’t expect to see her here.”
“It’s just the Golden Rank, right? I’m nearly there too!”
Xia Zuo’s face stiffened, then he said defiantly.
However, his voice was so low that only Erik, who was standing beside him, could hear.
“That’s enough, it’s been so long, she should be done holding grudges from our childhood.”
“As long as you stop playing pranks, she probably won’t bother with you.”
Erik looked at Xia Zuo, who was retreating silently and hiding behind him, and couldn’t help but remind him amusedly.
Xia Zuo did not respond; to be honest, even in Andor City, he had heard rumors about Cendelle.
Being favored by Elf Great Sage Adela and taken to Elf Land for training was something many Elves envied.
It was then that Xia Zuo knew that, unless something unexpected happened, he could no longer catch up with Cendelle’s pace.
But he couldn’t just admit defeat, could he?
Even Cendelle had come to join “Nature’s Wrath,” which meant that she too valued this opportunity greatly.
Xia Zuo also became curious about just how amazing this Human, a World Tree Favored, must be to convince the higher-ups of Jade City to gather so many people here.
He took a quick glance and saw that in addition to the warriors from the Elf Guard, more than half of Jade City’s talented young generation were present, and their elders were not ordinary.
“Xia Zuo, stop hiding!”
“Quick, look over there!”
Erik’s somewhat urgent voice rang out, causing Xia Zuo to look over with curiosity.
Within his field of vision, three figures were approaching from outside the arena.
A figure clearly a Human and a middle-aged Elf were walking side by side in front, followed by an Elf Girl.
Was that Human the World Tree Favored?
Xia Zuo took a good look and nodded reluctantly.
Very handsome, about the same as me!
But when his gaze fell upon the middle-aged Elf beside him, he was stunned again.
He rubbed his eyes again, looking over uncertainly.
This time without needing Erik’s introduction, even he knew the identity of this middle-aged Elf.
Gale Sword Saint Igley Alce!
Damn!
What was he doing here?
Was this great person also joining “Nature’s Wrath”?
