A strange world

Chapter 1108 Section 30. Set foot in Wilhelm

Just as every pore of a businessman reveals greed, every trembling hair of an elf reveals arrogance.

Even the elf mercenaries, who are closest to humans, have always been mavericks. They sit in the treetops in the dark and enjoy the moonlight, darkness and tranquility while everyone is barbecuing in front of the campfire.

Their group is not divided like the dwarves, nor is it like the civil strife of the orcs, but is tightly centered around the World Tree.

Even if you are the darling of the new era, humans have issued alien orders and all races are staying away from human towns. Only the elves have not bowed their heads. If you dare to kill the elves indiscriminately, they will dare to retaliate against the human people.

Even the elves' celebrations carry their unique "arrogance" - they are held once every one thousand years.

But saying this is a bit of a forced accusation. After all, elves are immortals, and elves born and raised normally can experience more than two celebrations.

As for humans...it would be possible to find an insider after more than ten generations. It is only known that after all, those invited are the top forces in Allen Continent.

To put it in the words of the bard, even the second row of the sacred temple is eligible for an invitation.

Annan, who stood among the guests, looked like a white dragon cub among a group of ancient dragons... But thinking that he would soon be an ally of the Elf King's Court, Annan puffed up his chest again.

The Obiris Strait is like an inland sea, and it takes half a month to sail to Wilhelm in the middle.

The merchant ship not only carried Annan and the others, but also other passengers. So Annan either stayed in the first class cabin to meditate these days, or listened to the Skeleton King sharing stories from hundreds of years ago.

The only bright spot in the boring half month was that Annan was promoted to a seventh-level warlock late one night.

He couldn't wait to see if the magic vortex was enough to release the innate spell... The answer was still not enough, and since they were on the boat, there was too much movement, so he didn't test it again.

After a few days, the merchant ship finally arrived at a place familiar to Annan - Maple Island.

I couldn't help but raise my head. The Rainbow City that once hung high in the sky seemed to be right above my head, and a gorgeous rainbow formed between the waterfalls.

Rainbow City is the kingdom of one of the Thirteen Supreme Kings, and its size is indeed comparable to that of a country.

I wonder if there is a chance to go up there during this trip to Wilhelm?

The ship suffered a slight earthquake and docked at Maple Island Port.

They were only halfway through the journey and still had to cross half of Wilhelm to reach the elf royal court in the center.

Annan and the Skeleton King can be quickly reached through the portal between cities, but the goods on the ship can only be transported honestly.

Annan has reserved time, and should be able to send it to the Elf King's Court in time after the celebration begins.

"We will first take the ferry from Maple Island to the Rainbow Shell Port in Wilhelm, enter the portal to go to the Garden of Humia, and then walk to the Aldo Forest. The elves will greet us at the entrance..."

The tall Skeleton King walked in front, and Annan followed behind, reading the route on the back of the invitation: "The elves also wrote down how to get to the Elf King's Court. It seems they are quite serious."

"I wrote that."

"oh."

Annan handed over the goods that were still being loaded and unloaded to the officials who were following him, and they split up. He and the Skeleton King got on the ferry first, and took a few hours to arrive at Hongke Port.

Rainbow City is still high in the deep sky, and the distance doesn't seem to be getting any closer.

The moment they docked, Annan took a deep breath.

They were still just outside Wilhelm, and they could already feel the magic element becoming active, which was even stronger than in Liberty City when he set out.

This environment has a higher chance of birthing a spellcaster, and the spells are less expensive and more powerful.

Hongke Port soldiers boarded the ship first and checked everyone's passes.

People from outside need extremely harsh conditions to come to Wilhelm, even Middle-earth people.

The ferry boat was inspected in advance, and the soldiers quickly came to Annan and the Skeleton King.

"Undead?!"

The expressions of the inspecting soldiers changed drastically, and they all held their spears.

"Open your eyes and look. Standing in front of you is the most intelligent undead, the master of the kingdom of the dead, the guest of the Elven Court, the Skeleton King Leonefah!"

Annan jumped out like a minion, held up the invitation and shouted loudly.

He had always wanted to try this, but he couldn't brag about it.

The Hongke Port soldiers retreated in panic, lowered their heads and said, "Please forgive us, your arrival is an honor for Hongke Port. Is there anything we can do?"

"We are just passing by and want to take the portal to Humia Garden."

"plz follow me!"

The team leader handed over the task of checking the passes to his subordinates, and personally led Annan and the Skeleton King off the boat to the portal in the center of the city.

A tall and ancient teleportation gate stood in the center of the square. Taking advantage of his position, the team leader took them to skip the long queues and fees and went straight to the teleportation gate.

Annan walked in, and when it was Skeleton King's turn, the team leader suddenly apologized: "I hope you don't mind my previous offense."

"Of course I won't mind, but I don't know if he does." The soul fire in Skeleton King's eyes flickered, pointing at the back of Annan who had just walked into the portal and said, "But this boy's identity is more valuable than mine. "

While the team leader was stunned, the Skeleton King walked into the portal.

…

"Yeah..."

The moment he stepped out of the portal, Annan hiccupped. "I'm a little dizzy."

Long-distance teleportation has this kind of disadvantage...but they skipped thousands of miles, so it's okay to be a little dizzy.

After recovering, An Nan looked around.

What came into view was the heaviness of civilization: every corner of the ancient city-state named Humiya Garden seemed to tell the history, and every stone slab might hide ancient secrets.

The nameless statue stood quietly, entangled by vines and flowers, blurring its face, like a silent guardian. From the magnificent temple to the exquisite stone carvings, everything shows the prosperity and beauty of the city in the past.

But perhaps because of too high expectations, Wilhelm did not give Annan the feeling of "the kingdom of God on earth".

The streets were mainly human, followed by elves, and the main races such as dwarves and orcs were not few, and the proportion was about the same as that of Free City. But most of the passers-by were professionals, and at a glance, there were more figures wearing wizard robes than rangers carrying bows and arrows.

After distinguishing the direction, Annan walked towards the Aldo Forest.

Annan, who was admiring the exotic customs, ignored what was in front of him. Not long after walking, a young beggar on the side of the road suddenly reached out to him.

Annan retracted his gaze, looked at the ragged beggar and the empty bowl, and hesitated to take out a silver coin from his pocket and put it in his hand.

"Is this enough for you to buy bread?" Annan, who didn't know the prices, asked.

"Enough for me to not worry about feeding for three days, thank you..."

Annan smiled back and continued to travel with the Skeleton King.

"There are still beggars in Wilhelm?" he asked puzzled.

"Since there are rich people, there are poor people."

Annan couldn't help but think, people outside are fighting to become Wilhelm people, are these beggars considered to be begging with a golden bowl?
