Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 1465: Red feast (1)
The Elven King wasted no time in gathering the high elf nobles.
That just went to show how interested he was in the offer that I made him and at the same time, it went to show how interested the high elves were.
In the first place, this was most likely their goal in getting closer to our Kite Kingdom.
After all, there was no reason for the elves to be friendly with humans unless there was something that they wanted.
After learning about how they were corrupted by greed, it made even more sense that they would want to get closer to the object that they desired.
As such, they had no qualms about inviting the Kite Kingdom's group to the Elven Kingdom.
During this time, I made contact with the High Priestess with the secret method that she handed to me. This was a method that could go past the surveillance that they set up because it was a method that relied on the power of a god.
This was a power that relied on the plants themselves to pass on a message.
It wasn't as effective since the elves had built these stone buildings, but it wasn't as if it was enough to stop this method that used the power of the gods.
The power of the gods wasn't something to be looked down on.
Once that was done, all that was left was to wait for the feast to start.
…
"Your majesty, please follow us." The maids said after coming into my room.
I had been waiting here because the Elven King had told me that today was the day of the feast.
Since I was a guest, it wasn't as if I was involved with the preparations of the feast. The only thing that I had to do was wait until the feast began and they came to get me, which was what happened now.
Once the maids came, I followed them out to find a luxurious carriage waiting for me.
I couldn't help slightly knitting my brows seeing this as it was still disturbing to see what the elves had become, but I put those feelings aside as I entered the carriage with Klein.
Since I had made that offer to the Elven King, the treatment that we received was much different compared to before.
Unlike before where we were monitored all the time, it seemed that they relaxed this a bit and allowed us to move with limited space.
Which meant that even the royal guards were invited as guests to the feast.
They weren't afraid that they would do anything since they thought that we were about to become much closer.
While sitting in the carriage with Klein, I gave him a look that only he understood and he gave a nod in response.
Other than the High Priestess and her followers, Klein was the other thing that I was relying on. When the time came, I would need the support of him and the other royal guards on their wyverns to finish this.
Though I really hoped that it didn't come to this.
As we moved through the streets of the capital, it was strangely and eerily quiet.
It was the fact that most of the elves that I had seen previously were completely gone from the streets.
In the past, when I moved through the streets of the capital, it would always be filled with different elves going about their business. Whether it was during the day or during the night, the streets would be filled with elves exchanging goods and services with each other.
It was just like a human city with how lively it was.
But now, there wasn't a single person…elf that was walking around.
It was as if they had all been evacuated.
In the end, the only thing that moved across these roads were carriages.
I didn't see these carriages at first, but eventually I saw them once I reached a certain point in the city. Once we got closer to the castle at the foot of the Tree of Life, there were more and more of these carriages that appeared in the streets.
These were carriages that were as luxurious as the one that I was currently riding in.
At the same time, I could see that there were elves that were sitting in them. Only the mana fluctuations that they released was different from the normal elves that I had met before.
These were clearly high elves. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
And not just that, these high elves in these carriages had to be the ones that supported the Elven King since we were all heading in the same direction.
The fact that they had driven away all of the normal elves just so they could have the roads all to themselves like this…At the same time, the fact that they were all in luxurious carriages like this…
It seemed that they were indeed deeply corrupted by the Elven King just like the High Priestess and Vivrum had said.
Though I couldn't help slightly knitting my brows when I saw the number of carriages that were there.
Even if they had been corrupted by greed, the fact remained that they were high elves.
As high elves, they had a high sensitivity to mana and were very skilled at casting magic just like Aisha.
So with the number of carriages and the number of elves that I could see…it really seemed like it might be a problem. At the very least, it seemed like there were far more high elves than I had expected.
I took a deep breath to calm myself before looking forward to the castle that was in front of me.
Even if there were all of these high elves, it was already too late for me to go back on this decision. Things had already been set into motion, so there was only one way that this would end.
We would either have a new ruler or we would all die.
