Chapter 602: Chapter 598, tour guide

Twiggy silently sat in the hall and watched as Joshua led the three High Elves to the depths of the Hearthstone Tavern.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but it was too late when she came back to her senses. Just like that, Twiggy anxiously waited for a few minutes before Joshua finally returned to the hall.

“Where… Where did you take them?”

Twig finally gathered her courage and asked Joshua. She was a smart girl and knew that if she angered Joshua, it would be a serious problem for her to return to the High Elves’base tonight.

Moreover, the chaos demon in front of her did not show any hostility at the moment.

“A safe place. It seems that you still have many questions to ask me.”

Joshua found a chair and sat across from ARL and twigs, looking at the two High Elves.

Twigs indeed had many questions to ask Joshua, but ARL, who was next to him, immediately raised his hand.

“Um… can we still eat dinner here!”ARL’s voice was filled with anticipation.

“This tavern is open 24 hours a day, of course.”

“Then… then can we provide food delivery service? I heard that Nolan seems to be able to get an owl to deliver food recently. I’ll be going back to the hall of meditation later.”

Al seemed to remember that he was in a state of ‘confinement’.

“Of course.”

Joshua’s answer made the high elf girl excitedly look at the menu again. During this period, branches and leaves finally had the time to talk to Joshua.

“Could you please let Aurelian and the others go? They’re just a little repulsed by humans, they don’t mean any harm.”

Twig directly spoke out her inner thoughts.

During the time she was eating in the Hearthstone Tavern, Twig had thought a lot. When she left Nolan, she knew that the Holy Tree had invited Joshua to visit Arthur Crow, so Joshua’s current identity should be a guest and not an intruder.

But the holy tree accepting Joshua did not mean that the other high elves could accept him..

“I also thought of letting them go, but your world tree did not agree.”Joshua shrugged to show that he was also helpless.

“Holy Tree?”

Branch and leaf looked up and saw a white bird standing on Joshua’s shoulder.

The moment they saw the Holy Tree’s consciousness materialize, branch and leaf immediately stood up and performed a high elf etiquette toward it.

“Great Arthur Crow, if you wish to punish Aurelian and the others, lock them in the hall of contemplation.”

Twig and leaf were not at ease about leaving the fate of their own kind to Joshua.

“Your World Tree says that this punishment is considered light.”

Joshua wanted to subconsciously scratch the White Bird’s head with his hand, but the white bird gently tilted its head and snatched away Joshua’s attack.

“In short, the energy of your world tree is weakening with the passage of time. I came to Ascek to solve this problem, and your council of Elders stopped me,”Joshua said nonchalantly. “So the world tree is considering reducing the population of the High Elves in order to… conserve its energy as much as possible.”

Upon hearing the words ‘reducing the population’, twigs and leaves tensed up. She instantly thought of the hunger she had felt before.

“I have to tell the Council of Elders.”

She stood up and wanted to leave the Hearthstone Tavern. However, the wall made of ice spread out in front of her. She had no choice but to turn around and face Joshua again.

“Sit down.”Joshua gestured. Under such circumstances, she could only obediently sit back down.

“If you tell the Council of elders about this, it will only make things worse.”Joshua stared at the High Elf girl who was fidgeting. “The conflict will escalate further. The worst case scenario is that your council of elders will do everything they can to get rid of me. If things develop to that stage, it will be a bloody war.”

“It’s impossible for the sacred tree’s decree elders to…”when she said this, she fell into silence again.

‘your elder Sindonar is already on my side.’

This was what she had seen in the message. Joshua had considered the fact that there was a high elf behind him who was unknown to him.

She was also smart enough. Even though she was very surprised, she still tried her best not to call out that name.

After a moment of silence, she finally made a decision.

“What… What should I do?”Twiggy asked.

“Don’t you want to save your three High Elf Friends?”Joshua threw a bunch of keys to Twiggy.

This building had already been renovated by Joshua from the inside out. Although the decoration of the rooms was not as luxurious as the lobby, they could still accommodate people.

“Rescue means…”leaf looked at the key in her hand.

“Then go and rescue them. Of course, you can’t escape from this tavern,”Joshua said. “But at least this will ease the tension of your people, right? A hero will come and something like that.”

The high elf girl quickly understood what Joshua meant. After thanking Joshua, she quickly took the key and ran into the depths of the tavern.

“You’re too kind to those High Elves.”Hiri saw that Joshua’s conversation had ended, and suddenly said, “You provided free food and lodging, and now you even found a tour guide…”

“Miss Hiri, I seem to have treated you the same way in the past,”Joshua said.

After Joshua mentioned it, Hiri came back to her senses and realized that the situation after her encounter with Joshua was very similar to those high elves. Joshua even personally took on the position of tour guide.

“I… I’ll pay back my work in the future,”Hiri said with a red face.

..

Aurelian’s eyes were covered by a piece of cloth and she was taken to an unknown place.

Although she lost her vision, she tried her best to use her ears to capture everything around her.

The magic power in her body completely lost its effect at this moment. Aurelian did not know what was going on.

But fortunately… According to the sounds she heard, the group of people who escorted her brought her to a room and left.

“Are you guys okay?”

After making sure that there was no one around, Aurelian asked the other team members.

“Other than being a little weak, the rest are fine.”

The other team members were soon answered that they were fine. Aurelian did not expect that the other party would be so careless to lock everyone up together.

Aurelian tried to move her body. She was sitting on the ground and her arms were completely bound, unable to move.

However, from the touch of her legs, she did not seem to have been locked in a water prison.

Aurelian moved left and right, trying to break free from the restraints on her body. This attempt lasted for more than ten minutes..

“Elder sister Aurelian, someone is coming!”

A team member suddenly said. Aurelian also heard the footsteps of someone approaching. Then, she heard the sound of the key being inserted into the door and the door opening.

Was the torture finally coming?

The darkness that she could not see made a strange fear creep into her heart. However, Aurelian clenched her fists, reminding herself that she must not yield in front of this group of humans.

However, in the next second, the cloth covering her eyes was torn apart by the visitor. The dim light around her made it take Aurelian some time to get used to it. Then, she saw the person in front of her clearly.

“You are Twiggy?”Aurelian recognized the person’s identity. A high elf… a high elf who often stayed with al. in other words, she was also a traitor?

“If I were you, I would keep quiet right now.”

Leaf whispered to Aurelian. When leaf was about to use her dagger to untie Aurelian’s ropes, Aurelian’s expression changed.

Aurelian’s hostility instantly disappeared, replaced by a sense of joy that she had finally been saved.

After leaf used her dagger to untie Aurelian, she also released the other two High Elves.

“Thank you for your assistance.”

Aurelian hesitated for a moment, but still expressed her gratitude to Twiggy.

“You’re not out of danger yet.”

Twiggy’s heart was very complicated. She truly wanted to save her own kind, but the ruler of this Hearthstone Tavern, Joshua, gave Twiggy the key to open the door, she wasn’t sure if she could escape from the hands of… an ice dragon.

But at least she had to try.
