Bringing Culture to a Different World-Novel

Chapter 595: Chapter 591. There are cats and birds

“Sindonar! Have you betrayed us?”

The black-robed elder sat at a long table and stared at the young elder in front of him. He could not believe that elder Sindonar would choose to ally with a blasphemer.

“I am only following the guidance of the Holy Tree… Sokron! Isn’t this the reason why you risked breaking the taboo and left Ascek? There isn’t much time left for us!”

The Calm High Elf elder refuted the views of his own kind.

“The guidance of the Holy Tree? Have You Forgotten Our Commandments? ‘never rely on any blasphemer again,’”the black-clothed elder said with a solemn expression.

“Can Commandments Change Ascek’s fate of falling to the ground? No!”

Elder SINDONAR used the same solemn voice to deny the black-clothed Elder’s words.

The two High Elves sat at the wooden table and confronted each other. If it wasn’t for Joshua who restrained their magic power, they might have directly started to fight each other.

But just when the tense atmosphere was about to erupt..

“Um… do either of you need alcohol?”

Inno, the most beautiful ‘girl’of Hearthstone Tavern, appeared at the long table. She had followed Lady Marina to this ‘New Tavern’to take a look.

The surroundings of the tavern were still under renovation. The craftsmen from the Brotherhood of craftsmen were renovating the buildings outside the tavern.

However, the tavern was already open. These two High Elves naturally became the first and second guests of the Hearthstone Tavern, underground vestige branch.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Joshua didn’t think of any activities to open the tavern and reward the guests, there might have been a celebration ceremony.

Although there was no celebration ceremony, Ino still instinctively did what he was supposed to do.

“No need to thank me.”Elder Sindonar replied Ino in human language. He had used Elf language when he was arguing with the black-clothed person just now.

These two languages were imprinted in the minds of every high elf. They were knowledge that could be mastered at birth.

“I need a glass of ice ale,”the black-clothed man suddenly said.

“Okay.”Enoch left after memorizing what the black-clothed man had ordered. Only Elder Sindonar was left looking at the black-clothed man in silence.

This silence continued until Enoch placed a glass of ice ale and dessert in front of the black-clothed man.

“I’m a little thirsty after talking to you for so long.”

The black-clothed man took off his mask. His face inherited the unique beauty of a high elf, but it was very neutral. It was not an exaggeration to describe him as feminine and handsome.

“This is the thing that you call the blasphemer.”Elder SINDONAR watched as he downed a bottle of ale without hesitation. His fair cheeks were slightly red.

“This is something invented by humans. It has nothing to do with blasphemers.”

The Man in black replied expressionlessly.

“I’ve been away from Ascetic Crowe for almost twenty years. The energy I can absorb from the holy tree is getting lesser and lesser. In these twenty years, I’ve gradually learned about hunger.”

As the man in black spoke, he picked up the complimentary cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

At this moment, elder Sindonar also noticed the traces left behind by the years on the face of the person in front of him.

Under the nourishment of the holy tree’s energy, the High Elves would only need to eat once a month, and the hunger would become more frequent after they were far away from ASKRO.

Therefore, in the eyes of the high elves, humans who needed to devour the bones of living creatures every day were considered as a kind of low-level creature.

“Is it really worth it to suffer so much during these 20 years?”Elder Sindonar looked at the traces of hardships on his face, and his original anger gradually died down.

“Pain? “Elder Sindonar… I don’t think you’ve tasted how delicious human food is!”The black-clothed man stuffed another piece of cake into his mouth and said, “I’m hungry, eat and then be satisfied. I’m already addicted to this feeling. If I establish an energy connection with the holy tree again, the feeling of my body being full will make me feel a little uncomfortable.”

“Then you should be more receptive to the guidance of the holy tree than I am.”

Even though elder Sindonar had visited Nolan once, he was still unable to get used to some human customs. Meanwhile, the black-clothed man had already lived in the human world for more than 20 years.

He should be able to accept some foreign concepts better than the high elves of the previous generation.

“If you knew our past history, you wouldn’t trust the Blasphemer,”the black-clothed man said.

“I’m curious about the history of the High Elves.”

At this moment, Joshua sat on the other side of the long table and looked at the two high elves in front of him.

With the blessing of the Frost Elf World Tree, Joshua could vaguely understand the language of the two High Elves.

At this moment, the black-clothed person silently took out Nolan’s currency and placed it on the table. Then, he continued to eat his dessert silently.

“Alright, Elder Sindonar, why don’t you talk about what’s going on with your race?”Joshua did not continue to question the black-clothed person. Instead, he changed the topic to the Elder.

“The Council of elders has forbidden you from entering ascekro,”elder Sindonar said. “Even if the Holy Tree decides to meet you, it will still be considered an extremely dangerous act.”

“You’re here because the Council didn’t unanimously approve my decision, right?”Joshua was slightly relieved when he heard that the High Elves were part of the council.

“No, the ones who made this decision were three high elf elders who are much older than me. They are very… wary of the chaos demons,”elder Sindonar said. “The Holy Tree sent me to meet you… hoping that I could somehow bring you to the location of the holy tree. However, the council of elders has sealed off that location. I don’t have the ability to bring you there.”

“What do the other High Elves think of my visit?”Joshua continued to ask.

“There are many people in our clan who do not know about it, but the opinions of the council of elders have also split. One of the five elders has maintained a neutral attitude. I am trying to persuade him to accept the guidance of the holy tree, but he still has many concerns.”Elder SINDONAR glanced at the black-clothed man and said, “The High Elves do not believe that you have a way to save Arthur Crow.”

“Do you mean to prove it to them?”Joshua fell into deep thought. “Have you seen that girl, al? The naive high elf from before?”

“Al? She was locked up by Elder Enya for a year and has been in deep thought. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen her.”

“A year of confinement. You immortal species sure can waste a lot of time.”

Joshua waved his hand and opened the interface of the magic net. Although al had accumulated enough popularity, High Elves and other elves could gather the power of faith through the worship of living creatures.

“As you can see, I’m going to open a shop in ASGOLOS. I’ve heard your discussion just now. Elder SINDONAR, you want your race to change, right?”

Joshua looked at the young elven elder seriously and asked.

“The way the council of elders supports ASGOLOL’s glory is really… too ugly. That’s why I’m looking for another path of redemption,”elder Sindonar said.

“Then please introduce our shop to the Young High Elves. The High Elves’change starts from trying to contact the outside world.”

Joshua found a piece of paper and a pen and drew a simple flyer. It was probably the image of a cartoon figure giving a thumbs up.

“The change starts from getting in touch with the outside world…”the man in black beside him muttered what Joshua said. “I still don’t understand why the Holy Tree chose you.”

“The answer is very simple.”

Suddenly, a white cat appeared on Joshua’s head. A Black Cat appeared on Joshua’s left shoulder. The remaining white bird landed on Joshua’s right shoulder.

Seeing the three ‘holy tree spirits’appear on Joshua’s body at the same time, the black-clothed person was so surprised that the cake in his mouth fell to the ground without him noticing.

“Because I’ve already saved the Blackwood Elves and Frost Elves. Their lives are very comfortable now.”Joshua reached out his hand and scratched the white cat’s chin on his head.
