Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 284 - 272: Poor Elves (Two in One) _2

"I was quite curious about this village too."

"Then let’s take a break, we walked all day and I’m really tired. This game’s too hardcore..."

"Agreed..."

In the team chat channel, the players were all sending messages.

Seeing that the players had reached a consensus, Li Mu gave a slight smile to the skinny guard,

"Thank you for your hard work."

The skinny guard let out a breath of relief and then warmly led the players into Streamwood Town.

The houses made of black wood and bluish stones stood in rows, the white snow covered them in a layer of silver frost, and the curling smoke slowly rose from the chimneys, carrying a slight tempting aroma...

The players walked through the small town, curiously observing everything around them.

Streamwood Town wasn’t large and had a very limited population, just about a thousand people.

More than two hundred players swarmed in, instantly making the already narrow town feel crowded.

As the players admired the town’s scenery, pairs of curious eyes also observed the incoming trading caravan through windows.

Children would occasionally run out of their houses, chasing the caravan with cheers, only to be scolded by the guards.

After the caravan settled, many villagers came out from their homes, gathering around the caravan with curiosity, bringing some hunted animal furs, or local specialties, inquiring about trade.

Since they were putting on an act, the players were fully prepared for the role.

For these enthusiastic villagers, the players took out the surplus grains from Elf Forest from their wagons and traded with the villagers.

Of course, Streamwood Town was so impoverished that the things these humans offered didn’t even catch the players’ eyes.

However, they didn’t need the villagers’ goods.

*Hmm, they accepted some specialties.*

*But what they needed more... was information.*

"Is there anything interesting in this territory? Or any legends and ruins?"

Holding the grains given by the players and listening to their inquiries, the short and stout guard was slightly stunned.

"That’s right, it’s our first time visiting the empire, so... we’ve always been curious about the famous Fengye Territory, and since it’s the first time opening a trade route, these goods are considered meeting gifts."

"So... we are willing to trade goods for these interesting rumors and news, but... they must be true."

Li Mu smiled.

Now, Elf Forest had no shortage of grains.

With magic around and excellent growing conditions, the grains from Elf Forest had long become an overabundance...

And the ones the players brought this time were actually the rejects from an experiment on breeding, some of the worst looking merchandise.

Nevertheless, Elf Forest products were, after all, Elf Forest products, even the worst grains were countless times better than what the villagers usually saw.

Looking at the plump Aries potato and the quick-growing wheat with an alluring aroma in the sacks, the skinny guard was transfixed...

Nobles!

These young folks were definitely nobles, no doubt about it!

They were powerful, with excellent equipment...

And such fine grains, they could just give away, only wanting to hear some interesting news, probably intending to go on some adventure or something...

Such wastrel behavior, who else but those young and proud nobles would do it?!

It was said that those noble young lords and ladies, who were like the darlings of the heavens, loved nothing more than seeking thrills!

Of course, for a moment, he did wonder if these young adventurers might be spies or something...

But he quickly dismissed that thought.

How could it be?

If they were really Aries Kingdom’s official spies, there was no way they’d let a bunch of noble kids do this kind of thing!

These inexperienced novices, if they went to Fengye City, were bound to get scammed out of their pants.

The skinny guard secretly shook his head.

Of course, he wouldn’t warn them about it.

Nobles were never good people, he never cared much for them.

All signs indicated that these were definitely a bunch of satiated young noble brats seeking entertainment!

*Alas... such is the world.*

Many commoners couldn’t even afford to eat, while nobles lived a life of drunken dreams.

Of course, anyone who doesn’t take advantage of a good deal is a fool.

Since these nobles planned to trade goods for interesting news, the skinny guard naturally obliged.

Thinking of this, he quickly racked his brains, spilling out every piece of news he thought these young folks might be interested in like pouring beans:

"Yes, yes! Interesting things... I know quite a few!"

"Hmm, recently, don’t know why, but many adventurers in Fengye Territory have broken through their bottlenecks after many years. It’s said that even the Lord, who was long stuck at Gold Middle Rank, has experienced a loosening in his bottleneck..."

"Ruins? There are plenty of ruins in Fengye Territory! Left from the Silver Era, belonging to those elves, though many have already been explored by adventurers..."

"However, it’s rumored that there’s a hidden ruin in Fengye City that no one can open, showing strange phenomena every full moon night..."

"But, that’s just a legend..."

"Hmm... there’s one more thing! The annual Fengye City Auction is about to start. I heard the City Lord destroyed an underground base and captured many elves, belonging to the ’Oak Hand’ organization..."

"And it’s also been heard that the Lord has invited nobles from various places to attend the auction..."

Elves?

The players exchanged glances, pondering.

"Oak Hand?"

Little Xian Miao noticed a new term, her expression curious.
