Taking the Mafia to the Magic World - Chapter 867: Elves
When Vicente, Victor, and Elmo arrived near the Elves Tribe three days after leaving the dragon territory, they discovered a place completely different from the Dragons Tribe.”,
The Elves Tribe was at the eastern end of the Majestic Treefrog Grove, in an area where giant trees, up to 400 meters high, with trunks over 20 meters in radius, grew. These gigantic trees covered the area, maintaining a constant penumbra on the surface because of the shade they created in the area.
But the area itself wasn’t dark. Through some passages, light reached the ground, giving the place a natural illumination that made it even more special.
From a distance, the three companions could see this colorful place ahead, where fluorescent beings floated in the air and the mana was so dense it seemed as if it would condense into a tangible essence.
As Vicente and his companions saw the symbol of the Elven Tribe in the trunk of a tree ahead, they realized this was the beginning of the territory of one of the three most formidable magical races on the continent.
According to the dragons, they would have to get permission from the elves to proceed from this point on.
Vicente then took off the identification of the Dragons Tribe friends they had received and said aloud, looking at the many branches of these enormous trees in the area.
Because of the size of these trees, there was hardly any undergrowth around, making the area rather ‘clean’, with no bushes or plants to get in the way of someone walking through the terrain.
“Friends of the Elves Tribe, we have just passed the Dragon Tribe. First Elder Xymanth recommended that I come to the tribe to seek answers to what I saw in the Divine Dragons Matrix,” Vicente said aloud, emphasizing the fact he had used the high-level tool of the dragons.
As soon as he heard the words ‘Divine Dragons Matrix’, one elf who had been watching this boundary point opened his eyes and looked toward Vicente, Victor and Elmo.
This 1.5 meter tall male creature, with blond hair, white skin, and large pointed ears, narrowed his diamond-colored eyes as he stood up from where he was sitting.
‘Divine Dragon Matrix? This tool is only used by the strongest dragons in the tribe. Would they let a human use it? Why?’
With these doubts in his mind, the slim-bodied creature, dressed in special clothes made of leaves bound with gold threads, with special runes glittering here and there, moved.
Appearing in front of Vicente’s group, as if he had materialized there after teleporting, the elf with a bow and arrows on his back stopped and looked into the eyes of the human who had caught his eye.
Even though he was only a High-level Paragon, this small individual was not intimidated by the presence of Vicente, Victor, and Elmo.
“Why did the dragons allow you to use their tool?”
“It must have been for this.” Vicente showed the Dragons Amulet, the special item Myndentan had made for him when he had passed the last of the challenges.
The elf looked at the necklace around the human’s neck, narrowing his eyes as he noticed the special magical fluctuation of the item.
‘It seems this human has completed one of the dragon’s games and some ancestor has recognized his potential.’
This guy didn’t make it difficult for Vicente when he realized how urgent it was to take these people to the tribal elders. “Come with me. I’ll take you to the council of elders.”
The three followed the elf, who seemed to be only a teenager, considering how perfect his face looked, hiding his centuries of experience.
“Touch nothing and don’t talk to anyone. My tribe is very sensitive about certain things. It’s best to avoid those who don’t really need to be in contact with you.” Said the elf as he led the way to the center of the tribe.
Elves were not creatures who liked members of other races, much less members of other races entering their territory. They were hard on creatures different from themselves, often considered arrogant, rac*st individuals who looked down on everyone, with a few exceptions, as if they were inferior vermin.
But there were reasons for that. Elmo and Victor understood well where the elven behavior came from.
As beings with an immense affinity for the elements of the Light Path, especially the light element, one of the most precious elements, these creatures were known for their extreme vitality.
In particular, elven blood was said to have magical properties that could allow an old man on the verge of death from old age to regenerate his vitality, gain energy, and live for decades or centuries, depending on the condition of the blood.
For a long time, beings of different races hunted the elves, until when they created the magical community that existed until The Purification, things got worse as humans hunted them in order to live longer.
After millennia of living in this reality, the elves were extremely defensive of non-elven beings, rarely leaving their territory and having strong opinions about members of races other than their own.
None of the three wanted to go against the Elves Tribe, so they respected the elf’s advice and followed him into the center of the tribe’s territory.
After 17 minutes of running through the giant trees, the group spotted the elven village, where many wooden buildings could be seen on the branches and trunks of the trees, with many stairs in between.
The village was built where there were no leaves above the area, where there was a fountain illuminated by the golden rays of light coming from the sky.
Over 400 creatures similar to the elf who was leading them lived there, living in harmony with nature, cultivating and minding their own business.
The group slowed down as they approached the village, the three guests controlling their auras so as not to frighten the wary elves in the area.
Then, just as they were about to enter the village, three 6th level elves appeared in their path.
“Haldir, take Vicente Fuller to the council. The other two will stay outside the village to wait for their companion.” Said one elf, surprising the three travelers by saying Vicente’s name.
Victor and Elmo readily accepted the elves’ terms and stayed behind while Vicente went into the village with the elf named Haldir, who had led them there.
