In the player's van, the Elves who were tied up with anti-magic ropes were communicating with each other.
"Lady Selena."
A few Elves looked at a blonde Elf who looked like she was in her twenties and asked worriedly,
"Where do you think these slave traders are sending us?"
The Elf called Selena hesitated and shook her head blankly, "I don't know.
Maybe … to the Kingdom of Ayres in the south. I saw them talking to the merchants. They seemed to be nobles from the south. "
"But they claimed to be here to save us. And … after such a long time, besides tying us up, they're quite nice to us."
Another Elf hesitated and said.
"Bruce, do you mean that they're good people? Think about how we were rescued? They … exchanged us with other Elves. Not only that … they even enslaved our other Elves! Think about what they did in the Chamber of Commerce! That's an insult to Elves! "
Another Elf gritted his teeth and said.
"But didn't they say that those 'Elves' were actually their people in disguise?"
"Bruce, you're still too young. What kind of place is the Chamber of Commerce? To save us, why did they have to sacrifice others? And … are those Humans fools? They have a way to identify us! This … as a senior member of the Oak Hand, you should know! "
"But …"
The Elf called Bruce was still confused.
"But … why did they do that? What good does it do them? "
"I've already asked the other Elves."
The indignant Elf continued.
"All the Elves who were rescued were exchanged with one Elf in exchange for two or even three Elves."
"So … they must have some method to enslave us! They want to bring us back and sell us at a higher price after enslaving us! "
"But …"
Bruce was still hesitant.
"But … when they came to communicate, they looked like Elves. And … you should have sensed that they were indeed our Elves."
Hearing his words, the Elf continued to sneer.
"Our Elves? Since they can enslave us, they can naturally use enslaved Elves to deceive us! Don't tell me … you forgot how our stronghold was destroyed this time? "
"Enough!"
While the two elves were arguing, Selena, the blonde elf who had been silent all this while, finally spoke.
As soon as she spoke, the two of them immediately fell silent.
Selena was one of the leaders of Oak Hand and their superior.
Therefore, even though the two elves had different opinions, they still respected and trusted this comrade who had led the elves to save their fellow elves from the oppression of the humans.
"Lady Selena …"
They looked at Selena in confusion.
Selena furrowed her delicate eyebrows slightly and said softly, "Don't worry.
"It's still too early to make any conclusions … These strange humans, their actions are too contradictory …"
"If they really are slave traders from the Southern Kingdom, then since they have the means to enslave people, there is no need for them to rope us in … Furthermore, they don't seem like the slave traders I know."
"But, if we say that they came to rescue us, yet they controlled our freedom and did that kind of thing in front of humans … If they really are elves, then they should understand that elves' dignity … is greater than their lives!"
As she spoke, Selina was a little confused.
"But … why are they doing this? Who … are they? "
Hearing her words, the other elves looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
"Could it be … like what they said, that the World Tree has revived, and they are warriors from another world who came to save the elves?"
At this moment, a weak voice sounded.
It was a half-elf girl.
"Mother Goddess has revived?"
The elf who retorted first shook his head.
"Mother Goddess has already fallen. This is something that we elves have already confirmed. Otherwise, I wouldn't have left the Elven Forest and joined Oak Hand to save my fellow elves. "
"Furthermore … Mother Goddess is so majestic, so kind and righteous. If she really returned, how could the warriors she summoned be like this?"
"Mother Goddess's Oracles are the Army of Nature formed by a hundred thousand Oak Guards!"
As he spoke, his expression was a little gloomy.
"But … that is already history."
"But … didn't they explain it? When they were in the Chamber of Commerce, that was the only way to gain the trust of the humans! "
The half-elf girl argued.
"Hmph, elves never bother to deceive!"
"So they chose to perish?"
"You!"
Hearing her companion's argument, Selena's frown deepened.
However, she neither agreed nor refuted.
In fact, as the carriage continued to move forward, a ridiculous thought kept popping up in her mind.
What if … what these strange fellows said was true?
As one of the leaders of Oak Hand, Selena had been in human society for hundreds of years. She had her own opinions on many things.
For example, she believed that the elves had fallen to their current state. Although the fall of the True God was the main reason, some of the elves' personality flaws were also the direct reason for the rapid decline of their race.
Therefore, Selena agreed with some of the things that those fellows said.
Moreover, as a Gale, Selena had lived in the Elven Forest since she was young.
At this moment, she had already noticed that the entire group was moving in the direction of the Elven Forest!
However … considering that they were going to the Kingdom of Ayres, although this road was remote, it was still passable, so … she was not very sure.
At this moment, the carriage stopped.
The carriage door was opened, and the elves and half-elves saw the bright sunlight outside.
The 'humans' who exchanged them from the Chamber of Commerce appeared in front of them. However, compared to the last time, their expressions were much more serious.
In an instant, everyone in the carriage was on high alert.
These people … What were they doing?
However, to the elves' surprise, these people led all the elves and half-elves down from the carriage. Under their shocked gazes, they untied them and even gave each of them a human weapon.
What were they doing?
In an instant, whether they were suspicious of the players' intentions or their identities, all the elves and half-elves were confused.
At this moment, the Elves saw the female leader of the "humans" named Salty Meow open her mouth.
"Comrades, I know you still don't believe us, but there's no need for that."
"Our plan has been discovered by those humans, and the people who exchanged you have been exposed. Now, those people from the Underground Chamber of Commerce are coming after us. They'll be here soon. "
"Run, our destination is the Elven Forest. Take your weapons and protect yourself. Don't think about anything else. As long as you escape to the Elven Forest, you'll know whether we're telling the truth or not."
"Don't worry, we won't let anyone hurt you."
The other players also took out their weapons with serious expressions.
Elven NPCs … None of them were allowed to die!
After all, they had failed to use the bug to extort resources. These rescued Elves and Half-Elves were the final harvest of their operation!
