Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 207 - 201: Justice Black Dragon and Evil Elf

Chapter 207: Chapter 201: Justice Black Dragon and Evil Elf

Mairrel proudly circled in the air before landing on the ground, causing a cloud of dust to rise and sending the livestock and poultry into a frenzy.

The cows and sheep quivered under the subtle dragon might, not daring to move an inch, with their legs clamped together and a foul puddle forming beneath them…

The chickens, ducks, and geese crammed into the cages clucked, quacked, and honked incessantly, their wings trembling and feathers scattered all over the ground, creating quite a mess.

Even the humans herding the cattle and sheep began to panic, some squatting down with their heads in their hands while others hid behind the animals, seemingly terrified of Mairrel.

Seeing the humans in such a state, Mairrel attempted a smile he thought was friendly, but it came off as rather frightening, as he said,

“What are you afraid of? The great Mairrel won’t eat you.”

The only well-dressed human shakily asked,

“Bla—Black Dragon Lord, where… where do you need us to deliver your goods?”

Game over.

Upon hearing the human’s title, Eve silently lit a candle in her heart for him.

As expected, the Little Black Dragon’s face immediately dropped, and he turned to the human leader, snarling,

“Idiot! How many times do I have to tell you? Mairrel is the great Silver Dragon! Call me Black Dragon again, and Mairrel will eat you!”

The Little Black Dragon bared his teeth, his dragon might soaring, his smelly breath and sticky dragon saliva spraying all over the poor human leader, who was so scared that he wet himself and then burst into tears, crying and pleading,

“Yes! Yes! Great Silver Dragon Lord! Silver Dragon Mairrel Lord! I’m an idiot! I shouldn’t have called you by the wrong name… I’m old and tough, my meat isn’t good at all, please spare my life, Lord Mairrel…”

“Hmph, that’s more like it!”

Mairrel lifted his proud dragon head, looking very pleased with himself.

“Don’t worry, Mairrel is a just Silver Dragon and a fair merchant. As long as you help me deliver the goods safely to my clansmen, I will let you leave.”

“Besides, hasn’t Mairrel already paid each of you a silver coin as a running fee? This is an employment! A transaction! Mairrel is quite merciful and fair!”

Little Black Dragon declared proudly.

Eve: …

One silver coin as a running fee?

*If she remembered correctly, even in the Dwarves’ Black Rock City, a large mug of mead would cost a silver coin.*

*From the nearest human village to the Black Dragon Castle, even though the way was smooth, it would at least be a few hundred kilometers, right?*

*Even eating dry rations along the way would consume more than a silver coin, wouldn’t it?*

*What a touching and righteous Black Dragon indeed…*

Thinking of this, Eve let her voice echo in Mairrel’s mind,

“Mairrel, where did you purchase the livestock, and how much did it cost in total?”

Upon hearing the voice in his mind, Remier’s eyes lit up.

He nodded in a certain direction and then shook his head, responding in draconic,

“Rua! Under the True God’s grace, this is a transaction Mairrel made with a Border Earl of the Human World!”

“Those humans are very generous and warm-hearted. Mairrel, with his exceptional bargaining skills, closed the deal for less than a thousand silver coins!”

“Moreover, Mairrel hired the Border Earl’s retainer for a commission of 20 silver coins, these cowards, to assist him in transporting the goods!”

Eve: …

*There was no need to ask about the details; she could probably guess how the bargaining went.*

*However, she didn’t really care either.*

*Whether it was a transaction or forced selling, since Mairrel had brought the goods back, it was now hers.*

“Rua! Under the True God’s grace, please send some clansmen to receive the goods. Although Mairrel is a righteous dragon, I do not wish for these humans to see my magnificent castle lest they attract despicable and shameless human thieves!”

Mairrel added.

This left Eve momentarily taken aback, then she realized,

*No wonder Mairrel contacted her through prayer before even reaching home, wanting to keep it under wraps.*

*After all, it was common knowledge in the Segis World that dragons collect treasures and hide them in their nests.*

*Once news of a dragon’s nest spread, countless human adventurers would rush in, dreaming of becoming dragon slayers and getting rich off the dragon’s treasure.*

*Even though Mairrel was not particularly afraid of dragon-slaying heroes with a great protector, it would still be annoying to have a bunch of overconfident adventurers disturbing his leisurely dragon life if his lair was discovered by humans.*

*The Little Black Dragon may not have been the brightest, but he wasn’t stupid either.*

Thinking of this, Eve contacted the Natural Saintess Alice, instructing her to send players for assistance.

Black Dragon Castle was equipped with a direct teleportation array to the Chosen City, and Mairrel was about a dozen kilometers from his castle.

Thus, after waiting a few hours, Mairrel saw dozens of fully armed elves arriving.

These players had accepted the mission!

These players always bounded along, some swinging large swords and performing air skills, like a band of ruffians.

However, upon noticing the humans near Mairrel, they immediately composed themselves, forming ranks and taking on a more serious demeanor.

But when they saw the long line of livestock, their eyes lit up,

“Wow! So many livestock?!”

“Amazing! Mairrel actually bought them?”

“So many?! Didn’t he just raid a village?”

“Hahaha, now the animal husbandry mission can be easily completed!”

“Nice one, Lord Mairrel!”

Hearing the players’ praises, Mairrel lifted his dragon head proudly,

“Hmph! Whenever Lord Mairrel makes a move, everything is naturally effortless!”

Among the dozens of players who came over, many had hung around with Mairrel previously. They frequently took on tasks released by the Little Black Dragon to serve him, forging connections over barbecued skewers and scale armor brushing, almost treating them as their own.

Therefore, conversing with them felt incredibly familiar to Black Dragon Mairrel.

As for the two dozen humans, they instinctively widened their eyes at the sight of the incoming players.

El…elves?!

So many?!

In that instant, they thought they were mistaken.

Yet… those tall figures, pointed ears, and their appearance… so beautiful that they seemed just like the most exquisite and elegant nobles of the empire, all pointed to one unmistakable fact—

They were indeed elves!

They had stumbled upon mythical elves in the wild!

Live ones!

Instantly, everyone’s eyes filled with curiosity and excitement.

Elves!

They were elves!

The most beautiful and noble race in the Segis World!

For a moment, their curiosity even outweighed their fear of the Black Dragon.

This was especially true for the impeccably dressed human leader, who had been so terrified by Mairrel that he lost control…

He was a steward of the Border Earl of the Holy Mania Empire, a second-level manager in the border castle.

At this moment, seeing this group of players, his breath quickened…

Elves!

Could there actually be so many elves near the Elf Forest?

And they’re so young too!

As a steward, he was also responsible for managing the servants and slaves in the castle, so he was naturally quite familiar with the slave market.

In the black markets of the Holy Mania Empire, even a male elf could sell for more than 5,000 gold coins.

As for females, well, that would be several times more! Each one was contested fiercely by nobles!

So, upon seeing the elves, his professional instinct nearly kicked in, and he subconsciously started calculating how much these elves would be worth on the black market…

Of course, he was merely thinking it through.

Even a fool could see that this Black Dragon and these elves had a significant relationship.

The shock brought on by this discovery even eclipsed the amazement of seeing dozens of elves gathered together.

By the Eternal Lord!

When did the noble and kind elves become entangled with the vile and cruel Black Dragon?!

And there were so many of them?!

Hold on… with such well-equipped elves, were they the clansmen mentioned by the Black Dragon?

A Black Dragon had actually enlisted a group of elves as subordinates?!

How did it manage to do that?!

Thinking of this, the steward’s eyes widened in disbelief at the absurdity of it all.

And the discussions among the players shattered his perception…

“Hahaha! Cows and sheep, now we have steak and lamb skewers! We’ve grown tired of eating demon beast meat every day.”

“Eat, eat! All you think about is eating! These are breeding stock, we’re supposed to nurture them!”

“Heh, just joking.”

“But… raising sheep and cattle takes a long time, right?”

“Take our time figuring it out. Anyway, we don’t lack magical plants…”

“Chickens and ducks grow faster, they should quickly become a flock, but… when the third test people come, I feel like it won’t be enough to eat again.”

“Better than nothing! Having meat is already good!”

The steward: …

*Eating… meat?!*

The steward’s eyes widened.

*What did these elves say?*

*They wanted to eat meat?!*

*The livestock wasn’t food planned for the Black Dragon, but for the elves?!*

By the Eternal Lord!

*The elves, who were always vegetarians, actually said they wanted to eat meat!*

*Was he going mad?!*

But the players soon turned their attention to the humans again.

“By the way, Mairrel, why did you even capture humans?”

“Ugh… after getting used to elf models, these humans look so ugly…”

Hearing the players’ words, Mairrel glanced at them as if they were fools, saying,

“These are the humans I hired for herding the livestock. Did you think a noble dragon like me should drive livestock?!”

The players chuckled sheepishly at his response.

But when they looked at the steward and others again, the strange scrutiny made them feel the shivers running down their spines,

“They seem surprised, as if they’ve recognized us as elves, should we silence them?”

“Hmm… right, humans seem to be enemies of the elves…”

*Silence them…?!*

*Elves considering silencing them?!*

The unfortunate old steward felt his heart condition acting up.

However, Mairrel’s words instantly brought him from hell to heaven,

“Rua! What nonsense are you spouting?! These are the humans I’ve hired. If you want to earn experience, go to the Underworld. Mairrel stands for justice and will never slaughter innocent lives!”

After speaking, the Black Dragon glanced once more at the dozen or so trembling humans, showing his teeth and growling,

“Alright, your task is done. Lord Mairrel is satisfied, you can leave! Be gone! Be gone!”

Upon hearing the Black Dragon, the dozen humans breathed a collective sigh of relief, then quickly turned to flee, fearing that the next moment the savage Black Dragon and those bizarre elves would turn on them…

And when they had fled far enough and confirmed that they could no longer see the Black Dragon or the elves, the old steward clutched his chest and murmured,

“Damn… I must have seen a ghost today…”

“Today’s discoveries… must be reported to the Earl…”
