304 – Arrest
Yang Feng asked curiously: “Children of nature! Are there any children of nature among elves? How many are there?”
Children of nature were a kind of strange existence on the Feisuo Plane favored by nature. They could learn numerous nature-attributed spells from nature, and unlike human Warlocks, they didn’t have to build spell models in their spirit sea to be able to cast spells.
Children of nature were among the strongest existences on the Feisuo Plane. They got a scary power boost in forests, jungles, marshes, and other areas with complex environments.
More than two-third of elven gods of the Feisuo Plane used to have the title of child of nature.
Faldina gave Yang Feng a blank look, saying: “Children of nature, the elves might not be able to give birth to one in 100 years, so how can it be that simple for them to appear? As I said, elves call themselves children of nature. It’s a self-proclamation, do you understand now?”
Yang Feng responded with a light smile: “I do.”
When Faldina saw Yang Feng’s uncaring smile, she was overcome with anger. She opened the curtains of another window and looked outside, enjoying the beautiful Ancient Green Forest City.
“This is the Ancient Green Forest City, please show your proof of identity!” Before the enormous convoy reached the Ancient Green Forest City, 2 elven warriors barred its way.
“As expected of elves!” Yang Feng looked carefully at the 2 elven warriors blocking the road, and his eyes flashed with appreciation.
Among elves, the number of women was much greater than that of men. The two elven warriors were women, and they were beautiful.
The imbalance between men and women among elves was related to human Warlocks of the Cangzhi Plane. In the old days, when the human Warlocks of the Cangzhi Plane conquered the Feisuo Plane, the terrifying human Warlocks used a secret method to impact the fertility of elven mother trees. Ever since, more than 95% of elves born from elven mother trees were women.
At the same time, the position of Great Elven Monarch, which had been habitually occupied by male elves, started to be occupied by female elves. This tradition was kept to this day.
On the Feisuo Plane, traces left by human Warlocks of the Cangzhi Plane could be found in many places.
After checking Yang Feng’s proof of identity, a flat-chested, beautiful elven warrior said coldly: “Go in! However, I want to remind you that this is not a state of humans. Any attempt to harm our people will be severely punished. This punishment may even implicate your companions and guarantor! Therefore, pay close attention to your conduct here!”
For humans to enter the Ancient Green Forest City and trade with elves, they not only had to have a proof of identity, but also a proof that they had no criminal record. At the same time, they had to have a guarantor with an outstanding reputation.
Once someone was found hunting elves in the Ancient Green Forest City, the elven empire would kill everyone in that person’s caravan as well as their guarantor.
Without a proof of identity and a guarantor, any human that got close to the Ancient Green Forest City would be warned by elves, or even attacked.
However, the enormous profits from hunting elves still pushed numerous human slave hunters to employ various methods to sneak into the Ancient Green Forest City and hunt elves. The human slave hunters who attempted to hunt elves in the Ancient Green Forest City had to pay a huge price; their heads were suspended in the Ironwood Corpse Forest. Nevertheless, some people still entertained ideas about the elves in the Ancient Green Forest City. Consequently, the beautiful elven warriors weren’t very friendly to Yang Feng.
The enormous convoy slowly entered the Ancient Green Forest City.
As soon as he entered the Ancient Green Forest City, Yang Feng saw that it was completely different from human cities of the Feisuo Plane.
The streets were very spacious, and there was fur-like, just 5 centimeters long grass growing on the streets.
On both sides of the streets were large, hollow trees with over 30 meters in height and several to 10 meters in diameter. The large, hollow trees were transformed into tree houses, inns, and shops.
The Ancient Green Forest City was filled with a mixture of flower and grass fragrance, very refreshing. With his sharp senses, Yang Feng felt that the magic energy and vigor of heaven and earth in the city were several times higher than in other places. This place was very suitable for cultivation and residence.
The city resembled a large, level, and orderly forest, a forest with elves and many merchants.
Many elves of the elven empire had no contact with the outside world, spending their lives in the Elven Woods. Similarly, there were many elves who enjoyed human contact. The Ancient Green Forest City was the point of contact for elves with the outside world. Thus, elves, who were rarely seen in the outside world, were very common here.
Artais made preparations in the Ancient Green Forest City beforehand, thus the huge caravan went directly to the place arranged to unload the cargo.
After settling everything, Yang Feng took Faldina and the 3 Sacred Swordsmen to the entrance of the Elven Woods.
The entrance to the Elven Woods was at the back of the Ancient Green Forest City. At the entrance, there were 1,000 elite elven warriors stationed, with every warrior being a Great Knight rank powerhouse or above.
“This is the entrance to the Elven Woods, people who have no business here are not permitted to get close 500 meters from it.” Yang Feng’s group of 5 had just arrived at the entrance to the Elven Woods, when a flat-chested elven beauty dressed in green leather armor, with slender legs and an heroic aura got in their way and barked.
At the same time that the flat-chested elven beauty shouted, 100 elven warriors quickly readied their bows, aiming at key points of Yang Feng’s group.
Yang Feng took out the green leaf that Karina had given him: “I am Baron Ian of the Red Earth Wasteland, a friend of Belinda and Karina. Here is my token.”
As soon as the green leaf appeared, it bloomed with faint green light containing the breath of nature.
When she saw the green leaf, the pretty complexion of the flat-chested elven commander changed, and she looked at Yang Feng with a somewhat odd look in her eyes.
The tone of the commander turned milder: “So you are Ian. My name is Danny. Please wait a moment, I’ll send someone to report to the higher ups.”
Danny raised her hand, and the 100 elven warriors behind her lowered their bows. She spoke to a nearby elf.
The elf briskly walked to a nearby tree, grabbed a vine, and whispered into a bowl-sized, red flower.
There was a sound-proofing barrier in the area where the tree was located. Even Yang Feng, a powerhouse with level-3 Warlock rank physical aptitude, wasn’t able to hear what the elf said.
It was not long before a handsome, young male elf dressed in gorgeous garments, with fair skin and short, silver hair arrived at the entrance of the Elven Woods under the escort of a dozen beautiful elves with silver hair.
The handsome, young man was even more handsome than the Nr.1 handsome man of the Morrince Empire, Amodeo. Carrying great pride, he glanced at Yang Feng loftily, and his eyes flickered with frigid killing intent. He barked: “You are Ian? You lowly, petty, ugly, and nauseating human dare to come to the elven empire? Warriors, arrest him!”
Danny’s face changed faintly and she frowned slightly, then she raised her hand, and the 100 elven warriors behind her lifted their bows, aiming at Yang Feng’s group of 5 people.
Danny’s eyes glimmered with intense killing intent, and she spoke coldly: “Ian, surrender! Resist and you’ll all be killed!”
The elves outside the entrance to the Elven Woods had fought countless battles, their hearts as hard as iron. They killed an unknown number of slave hunter who tried to hunt elves. So long as the higher ups gave the order, these elves would even kill unarmed human women and children. They were the most most jugged and unswerving fighters of the elves.
Yang Feng frowned slightly. Staring at Danny, he asked slowly: “Is this how elves treat their guests?”
Danny’s beautiful eyes glittered with intense killing intent, and she replied coldly: “I’m just a commander, and can only follow the orders of the higher ups! Ian, surrender. Otherwise, we will be forced to kill you.”
Yang Feng’s gaze shifted toward the handsome male elf, and he spoke in a neither servile nor overbearing tone: “Please hang on a minute. Mr. Elf, I think that we have never met before, right? Could you please tell me how I have offended you?”
The eyes of the handsome, silver-haired elf flashed with a cold glint, and he shouted sternly: “You are a murderer who has their hands drenched in elven blood, you don’t have the qualifications to know my name. Why haven’t you people captured him yet, do you want to disobey my orders?”
The eyes of the elven guards at the entrance of the Elven Woods flickered with a cold shimmer. Staring at Yang Feng, they revealing frigid killing intent.
The population of elves was fairly small, with the total number of elves in the elven empire just adding up to more than 40 million people. This number couldn’t even compare to the most populated province of the Morrince Empire.
The sparse population led to a great unity of the elves. When they heard that Yang Feng murdered their kin, their eyes glimmered with intense killing intent.
The words of the handsome, silver-haired elf had just fallen, when Yang Feng suddenly shot toward the former alike a bolt of lightning.
