Unlike humans, the wood elves were loved by the forest, and they were a species that couldn't walk properly if they could jump on trees.
That was precisely why the depths of the Great Forests retained its primitive appearance even after the wood elves had lived in Trinia for a long time. There were almost no trails in the forest, and there were only paths made by large beasts or magical creatures.
That also made it extremely difficult for Marni to move through the forests, and he was already looking haggard even before he left the elven capital.
"So useless. You can't even move normally in the forest. Are you humans all so weak?" Selene the elven girl was sitting on a tree branch in front of Marni, her legs dangling in boredom as she unleashed an AoE cannon at all humans.
"After all, we humans can't jump around trees like monkeys."
Marni replied with a smile as if he wasn't angry at all.
"Ah, it's a skunk!"
The elven girl threw a rotten persimmon at Marni, her veins bulging.
"It's not a good habit to get physical just because you can't win an argument." Marni, however, easily dodged it since he was prepared.
What a joke. Brawling between Players was usually done with skills. Who would a rotten persimmon be looking down on?!
"Sorry, I just saw a weird skunk head over there." The elven girl said unapologetically.
Marni shrugged, having no intention of pursuing the matter and continued following the elven girl to the arcanum she mentioned.
"Actually, I'm quite happy." Marni tried to strike up a conversation, perhaps feeling that it was too quiet along the way. "I didn't think that you would actually lead the way to the arcanum … and here I was under the mistaken impression that you hate humans."
Selene, who was walking ahead, snorted softly, thinking, 'No, you're not mistaken. I really do hate humans.'
"Now it seems that trying to get closer to you people is great. I understand that the wood elves aren't as hard to understand as the rumors say." Marni added.
The elven girl who was hopping along the tree paused and turned to Marni, who was struggling with the bushes behind her. "What is driving you to try to get closer to us? Don't think I don't know that you humans classify us as magical beasts, and the dangerous kind at that! Are you lusting after our art, magical items, or other specialties? Or do you want to capture elven slaves to please your nobles? "
"Those words are really unpleasant to hear." Marni shook his head. "I believe that the reason the God of Games whom we worship would establish relations with your Silver Moon Goddess must be so that humans and wood elves could understand each other. After all, according to legend, humans and High Elves had always been allies before the last God-Demon War. "
As for the local specialties that could be sold for money, it was just a side benefit! Marni said inwardly.
"That's impossible. There's no way the wood elves and humans could understand each other. We've been waging wars of varying scales over the last thousand years! This is reality … "
The Elven girl twisted her neck back to its original position and said with a dissatisfied look.
"You haven't even tried and you're saying that it's impossible? Aren't you being too arbitrary? At least from the looks of it, aren't humans and wood elves having a friendly chat on the way? "Marni said with a grin.
"How are you friendly …" The elven girl muttered softly. "And you didn't say why you wanted to get close to us, did you? It's clearly dangerous, and we might even lose our lives … "
"If I have to say it, it's probably because I believe that the God of Games must have given us the Home attribute to encourage us not to fear failure, so that we could fearlessly explore all possibilities." Marni smiled. "That's why we naturally can't disappoint him."
"What a weird fellow …"
The elven girl grumbled softly, unaware that the attribute Marni was referring to was resurrection. She then leapt down from the tree and landed steadily in front of Marni.
"What is it?" Marni was confused.
"I'm sick of that place. I don't want to go back to Trinia."
"Aren't you being a little too arbitrary …" Marni rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. "I should have waited for James to come back."
The elven girl stared impassively at Marni. After a moment, just as Marni couldn't help but ask something, she turned away reluctantly. "Let's go. But let me make this clear: don't piss yourself when the time comes!"
"Is the arcane realm that dangerous?"
Not only was Marni not afraid, he was actually eager to try.
The elven girl didn't answer, and simply led the way with a stony face.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the entrance of a strange crypt.
The edge of the crypt was filled with lush vegetation. If Selene wasn't leading the way, Marni probably wouldn't have noticed the entrance even if they happened to pass by.
"We'll stop here. If you keep going, there would be terrible sounds coming from the cave, and the shockwaves would send you flying." The elven girl stopped Marni who was about to explore. "At the end of the War of Gods and Demons, the ancestral elves who survived imprisoned a devil that had invaded Trinia at the time. Even if you break through the shockwaves, you would only end up as the devil's food. "
"Wouldn't this arcane realm be meaningless if we can't go in …" Marni scratched his head, wondering if he should gather some Players to fight the Boss. No, from a long-term perspective, it might be more worth it to set up a stall here and sell tickets?
Then, he came to his senses. "Then why did you bring me here?"
"I wanted to have the devil scare you …" The girl walked to the mouth of the cave and turned to Marni. "Because you humans keep wandering around in front of me. It's so annoying!"
"Is it fine to stand there? Didn't you say there's a devil … "
"It's fine. The entrance is sealed and the devil wouldn't be able to stick a toe out, which is why it would only roar when it sensed someone approaching."
The elven girl said, spreading her hands. "After all, I just wanted to scare you, not kill you."
"I see …" Marni's face dropped even before he finished, and he abruptly dashed towards the elven girl with a burst of strength.
Selene did a double take. She thought that Marni was about to unleash his bestial instincts, but was pushed away from the entrance just as she was about to charge her mana.
In the next split second, a thick arm that almost filled the entire hole reached out from within, grabbing Marni, who had taken Selene's place in a tight grip!
"Th-that's …" The elven girl blanked out in fright.
"Don't just stand there … Run!" Marni spat out a mouthful of blood under the tremendous pressure, and mumbled, "Get someone else to help …"
"But in order to save me …" The Elven young lady looked like she was about to cry.
"I'm fine … Hurry up and go! This fellow … is about to escape! "
Marni flashed a pained smile at the girl. "As long as you're fine … everything's fine."
In the next moment, he was forcefully crushed by the huge palm in front of the young girl, turning into minced meat and blood that splattered everywhere.
