The Extra's Indifference

Chapter 112 Irva

?

After looking through my status and inspecting my gains, I removed the status lenses and put them in their box. 

Then, I wore the lenses that Indra had given me and concealed my red and blue crystal eyes, which symbolized my status as the saint of Ilelia. 

'Welp, it is time to go out.' I thought and stepped out from my subspace from its bloody door. 

Then I slowly lifted my hand above my head after getting out of my subspace. 

"Can we first talk about this without resorting to violence?" I said after I saw a bunch of long-eared blonde people who have circled me with spears in their hands. 

These long-eared guys were elves. They were wearing tree bark-like armor and the sharp part of their spear was made of some sort of very sharp leaf. 

They shifted uncomfortably after hearing my calm tone and relaxed movements but their spears still didn't move an inch. They were trained excellently. 

"I do understand that all of you are soldiers who follow orders. So can one of you call your superior as it would be best for each other instead of waiting like this?"

When I stopped talking, one part of the circle of elves disrupted, and an elven woman with white hair and purple eyes walked towards me. 

'She is a high elf.' I thought after seeing the color of her hair and eyes. 

Because I knew that all elves have blonde hair and green eyes while the high elves have white hair and purple eyes. 

"There is no need for them to call. I am enough for you." The elven woman said. Her voice was soft and melodic, it was how I expected from an elf. 

"That is okay for me. All I want is to go my way and I don't want to cause problems on this beautiful ground." 

I was acting polite because most high elves were noble or even some of them were royal. Being in a good relationship with a high-status elf was beneficial for me instead of being in a bad relationship. 

"Then why did you bring a mana titan here and burn its corpse in this green area?" The elven woman asked suspiciously and raised a brow. 

'Hmm, she knows that I brought the mana titan and burned its corpse. I should gain her pity or else she will cause problems for me.' 

"I was running away from that mana titan but after seeing an elven settlement in the distance, I decided to fight it instead of ruining thousands of lives." 

The high-elven woman nodded with understanding but she shot a question with a sharp gaze. 

"Why did you burn it?"

And this was the question I was waiting to answer. 

"I need to show something to answer your question, can I?"

After receiving a nod from the elven woman, I slowly unbuttoned my shirt and showed her my melted flesh which was even painful to look at. 

The eyes of the high-elven woman widened after seeing my disfigured body and the corner of her lips trembled slightly. 

"The mana titan had a unique acid like substance and that is the reason I burned it after killing it. I didn't want anything to experience the pain I have." I said and buttoned my shirt, then spoke again with a calm tone: 

"Can I go now? I don't like to be circled by soldiers." 

The high-elven woman lifted her hand. 

"Lower your weapons!"

The elven soldiers lowered their weapons without any hesitation. 

Then the high elven woman began to walk to me with steady steps. I didn't try to feel her level of strength but I knew that she was strong. 

All high elves had a better amount of potential than normal elves and their life span was too long for humans. 

So, the elven woman in front of me might even be hundreds of years or just tens of years old. And had plenty of time to train. 

Anyway, the high-elven woman stood in front of me and extended her hand for a handshake. 

"I am Irva from Alanadel Count house." She said with a slight smile. 

I shook her hand firmly to make her understand to not underestimate me or cross me after seeing my injuries. 

"Kayle Ceurie." I said and pulled my hand back. 

"So, Kayle from the human kingdom. Why did you come here, do you have any specific purpose?" Irva, the high-elven woman asked with a kind smile. 

'Hmm, she is trying to get information without threatening and checking if I am a danger to the elven kingdom.' I thought and showed her my kind smile. 

"I have, but it would be better for both of us if you don't know it. Let's say that I won't harm the elven kingdom."

Irva lingered for a while and eventually nodded. 

"Well, I can't force you to answer it after you risked your life after seeing one of our settlements. So, how about I take you for a few days in my manor as a guest?"

"I am eternally grateful for your kindness." I said and slightly bowed, though internally I was thinking of this woman, who was trying to keep me in her sight while acting like a grateful noble who wants to repay.

'I will go with the flow and try to befriend her and if possible use her resources and connections to find the things I need.' I thought and we began to walk slowly while the soldiers were following us with disciplined steps. 

"I am sorry if I am rude but can I ask your age? I didn't meet with an elf without let alone a high elf, so I am curious about it." I asked with a curious gaze while we were on the road. 

"That is no problem. I became 137 this year, still pretty young compared to the others of my kin and elders." Irva answered and looked at me. 

"So, you know what the differences are between us huh?"

I nodded my head slightly and didn't say anything more than that. 

'She is young for an elf. Maybe I can use her.'
