Chapter 259 Orun In The Elven Nation

Orun's step through the vortex brought him into what seemed like a new world with a different form of sensation from the outside world.

Where he was looked very colorful and vibrant, an effect brought about by the variable colors from the sun's ray, and the birds flying up in the sky.

To him, the place felt like paradise. The sort of place that one would sleep in and pray to never be woken up from their slumber.

In front of him, is a parade beautified with flowers on the ground, leading all the way to the multiple figures standing at the end of the flowers stop.

On each side of the parade are the multitude of elves with a line also reaching to the end of the flowers placed on the ground.

Theie eyes were glued specifically on Orun, like they were all waiting for him to start walking down the aisle.

Orun did not know what to make of this phenomenon, a situation were the elves are all looking at him with eyes of admiration.

It was as if he was being revered to as a God and they are his loyal humble subjects meant to always demonstrate before him their sense of humility.

Orun walked down the isle with Torsys by his side acting as a guide, while he had Theron and Monryck stand behind him. Standing behind Theron and Monryck, are the two Wyverns who followed them in.

The atmosphere was silent with Orun gently placing down his steps, and the Elves bowing to him as he walked past them.

Orum questioned the meaning of what was going on. If this was natural tradition for the Elves when they Invite someone over on the orders of their queen.

He also questioned how they knew of his arrival when he had yet to Inform them, but that side of his question was answered when he thought of the map he was given.

The map's only function might not have been to use as a location sensor but also as a movement sensor that would allow them to detect when it is on the move.

He was too shot minded to have thought of that possibility. Without knowing, Orun had risked giving out his movement to an unknown person.

Knowing this, Orun got himself on alert mode and making sure to not dull his body movements when the time comes for it to act.

Their friendliness act toward him is not only too excessive, it is also uncalled for seeing as how they are just meeting him for the first time.

Their aim might be to let his guard down, but he won't fall for that. His body is well protected by the cloth he is putting on.

As it is made out of Orun's mana, the rank of the clothing puts it in the same rank as the weapon Caius had made during their battle.

If they want to pull anything up their sleeve, they are going to have to first go through his clothing before they can get to him.

He would also be quick to react before they can even think of breaching through his clothing.

"Welcome lord Orun, we have been expecting you".

While he was in his thoughts, Orun made sure to have his eyes faced forward to when he got to the end of the isle.

The first thing he noticed at the end of it is the presence of two dignified presence outshining the several figures that stood beside and behind them.

The one that stood out at the center greeted Orun with her head still up while the rest of the elves including the one with a similar facial features to her also bowed her head.

Torsys joined the rest of the elves in bowing. Before he did that, he changed his stand by moving to position himself beside another elve on the same attire as him but with a different inner color wear.

Orun had his right hand raised up with his palm all open wide. He controlled the palm, putting it down as a way to indicate for Theron and Monryck to bow their heads like the Elves had done.

His hand gesture got to Monryck and Theron, swiftly bowing down their heads in the same length that the elves did.

Orun on the other hand, kept his head up like the one who he thought of as the Elven queen did.

He figured the subordinates bowing their heads was a way to show respects to each monarch and it was improper for the monarchs themselves to bow to another monarch.

A monarch bowing their head to another monarch could indicate that they succumb to the power of the monarch, admitting to them that they are of the lesser power and hereby submit their loyalty to the one with the higher power.

That is how Orun managed to interpret the situation from his own point of view. He could see that the Elven leader had no problems with him not bowing his head to her.

"I hope the journey here was not too stressful".

"it wasn't".

Following the Queen's next question, all the subordinates had returned the position of their heads to where it once was.

Orun wanted to skip to asking the main question that brought him here, which is how the Elven queen got to know about him and his location.

Why she sent the invitation is on the second line of what to ask. That could be answered once he is clear of the first question.

He wanted to ask, but the mood did not permit him to, nor did the Elven queen's way of acting toward him.

"we have prepared a welcoming ceremony for you. But before that, the maids will have you escorted to where you will be staying to freshen up and wash away the discomfort of the journey".

Her facial expression when she was taking to Orun was unexpressive enough for the words she was saying, but he understood her intent behind such words.

"yes, I would appreciate that".
