Chapter 773: Meeting the Patriarch
Entering the wood elf village, the whole situation was quite different from Silk’s initial expectations.
Compared with their original village, the biggest difference here is the different environment. One is on the grassland and the other is in the forest.
As for development...
There are basically no obvious signs of development. At most, some tree houses have been built for their tribesmen to live.
This is within Silk's expectations. After all, the elves are like this and will not deliberately develop anything. Simply speaking, as long as it does not affect their daily lives.
In the past, Hilke didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this, but now when he looks back at the past, he just feels that he didn't even see it. It was a waste of time and life.
Needless to say, life in the Great Zhou Dynasty has already completely changed the concepts of all the prairie elves, including Silke.
Now if we let them return to their previous state, they will not be able to go back.
While Silk was observing the wood elves along the way, the wood elves were also observing him.
Compared with the wood elves who are still quite original in terms of clothing, Silk is definitely glamorous. Although they are both elves, they seem out of place here.
But Silk didn't show much discomfort because of this. He walked with his head held high and looked unusually upright, leaving a deep impression on many wood elves along the way.
“Silk, the prairie elf, has met the leader of the wood elves!”
Walked into a tree house with the top covered with vines, and looked at the man sitting inside. Silk bowed slightly to show respect.
It was a slightly slender figure, but Hilke would not think that the other party was weak. He could feel that the other party contained full vitality.
"I am Locke, the leader of the wood elf clan, come and sit down."
Hearing this, Silk did not refuse, and walked over and sat down generously.
Looking at Silk, who had a handsome face and generous manners, Locke's eyes flashed with admiration unconsciously, as if he was looking at an outstanding junior.
The population of the elves is small, even in ancient times, which makes the relationship between each of their tribes closer.
As the leader of the clan, Locke is even more so. In Locke’s eyes, every clan member is like his own child.
Although Silk came from another tribe, Locke still had considerable goodwill towards him at this time.
"Silk, which branch are your ancestors from?"
To put it bluntly, these elves are all troops and ethnic groups scattered around the world from the ancient elves during the old civilization period. formed by reproduction.
Now faced with the question, Hilke was not vague and gave a direct answer.
Lock's eyes lit up when he got the answer.
"It turned out to be an elf knight."
In the old civilization, most of the elves who could become elf knights had good backgrounds.
Looking at Locke who was full of emotion, Silk hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to quickly bring the topic back to business.
"Chief Locke, I am here to talk to you on behalf of Great Zhou..."
As he spoke, Silk expressed the hope that both parties could work together and develop together. The matter was told once.
However, after listening, Locke shook his head.
"Needless to say, we live well in the forest and have no interest in cooperating with other forces."
Locke's refusal was extremely straightforward, and it could even be said that it was without thinking.
Silk tried to persuade the other party, but the other party soon showed his almost stubborn side.
To be honest, Silk felt a little annoyed. He had never seen someone so stubborn and couldn't listen to anything he said.
But Silke also knew in his heart that if he got angry for a moment and cursed the other party, it would be even worse.
At this time, he couldn't help but think of His Majesty's last words to him.
【Sincerity is always the last resort! 】
Thinking of this, Silke spoke again with determination... "Chief Locke! There is something I must say, your idea is wrong, and it will not work to continue like this."
Then Silk spoke again without waiting for Locke to speak.
“If you don’t mind, I hope you can listen to me tell a story.”
After saying this, Hilke’s mood became obviously heavy.
Perhaps feeling the change in Silk's mood, Locke, who was about to say something, nodded.
What Silk will talk about next is exactly what happened when their village was destroyed and the whole family was almost wiped out.
This memory was full of pain for Silk. He originally didn't want to think about it at all, but now in order to convince the wood elf clan leader to cooperate with their Great Zhou, he also ninja pained himself to recall it.
Lock obviously did not expect that Hilke and the others would have suffered such a thing. After being briefly shocked, an indescribable sadness also surged into his heart.
“So it’s not possible to continue like this. Your current state is exactly the same as ours at the beginning. There are more powerful enemies in this world. When that day comes, how will you deal with it?!”
After all, Locke is the clan leader and has to consider the safety of the entire clan.
Previously, they refused to have contact with the outside world and prohibited members of the tribe from going out. They have been living in this forest. Essentially, it was for the safety of the tribe.
But what Silke said at this time undoubtedly made him shaken.
At this moment, a voice sounded from outside.
"Just because you guys can't deal with it, doesn't mean we can't deal with it either."
At the same time as the sound sounded, the window of the house was pushed open, and Sion got in directly through the window, letting Locke, who was still struggling one moment, reprimanded angrily the next moment.
"Sion, you kid! How many times have I told you? Stop climbing through the window!!"
In the past, when he was reprimanded like this by the clan leader, Sion would definitely have to give in. But today, the situation was different.
I saw Sion standing directly in front of Silk, standing up straight, looking down at him, obviously very dissatisfied with Silk's words just now.
"I sympathize with the plight of your tribe, but you say we will follow in your footsteps? I disagree!"
Perhaps due to the influence of the beast spirit in the body, Sion's His temperament is more wild than that of ordinary wood elves. Normally, Locke would let him go, but at this time, this kid's behavior was undoubtedly too rude.
Lock was about to reprimand, but before he thought, Silke's voice rang out first.
"You seem to be very confident in your own strength?"
"Of course."
Sion raised his chin a little.
Silk was not angry when he saw this, but instead showed a smile on his face.
"How about this, how about we compete?"
"Just compare, will I be afraid of you?!"
Sion agreed directly without thinking.
Then they turned their heads at the same time and looked at Locke who was sitting there.
"Chief Locke, please don't worry. It's just a simple competition, and that's it."
"Yes, yes, yes, I will be careful not to hurt you."
Sean added angrily.
When Locke saw that things had reached this point, if he forced the organization, he was afraid that this kid Sion would turn around and cause trouble for him.
Thinking of this, Locke also nodded.
"Okay, let's give it a try."
