Chapter 675 Elf

While the dwarves are busy with their own problems, Angus and the others also arrive at their destination. In front of them, they find a massive unusual building. The building is similar to the other building but is made of a living tree.

It is not only made of wood but a giant piece of living tree with branches and green leaves. Just by its massive size and unusual shape, people will think it is just an ordinary wooden house, not a single piece of a giant tree.

Unlike the other buildings that show banners or display their unique merchandise in the front, the building is entirely empty, besides the number address and a single wooden door on the front.

"Somehow I really have a bad feeling about this." muttered Angus.

"Is there something dangerous inside?" asked Jayna.

"I am not sure. I just feel a troublesome problem will come if we enter this shop." said Angus.

"Troublesome problem?" muttered Jayna while glancing at Anna, who was chatting with the silent Mira nearby.

Whenever Angus feels troublesome problems coming, they may encounter annoying problems like Anna's mischievous prank but nothing dangerous.

"Should we skip it?" asked Jayna.

"Well, we have already arrived here. It will be a waste just to not look at it. Besides, I didn't want to waste five Absolute Red for nothing." said Angus before approaching the wooden door.

'I really have a bad feeling about this.' thought Angus as he stopped before touching the handle.

Shaking his head, he touched the handle and opened the door. Behind the door, they find a massive room covered in wood and a serene ambiance. Not far from them, some tables and chairs are placed around the room in an orderly manner.

They also find a counter table far in the back and a person looking at them. The person has an exquisite appearance despite being a male. Angus also noticed the distinguishing characteristic of the person's body. The person has a slender body and smooth skin.

It is like the epitome of the beauty itself. Angus could see the long sharp ear, similar to the elf leader he met during the Nirvas test entrance.

'An elf?' thought everyone.

At this moment, he notices something strange on the elf.

'He keeps looking at Jayna.' thought Angus frowning.

Suddenly, Anna hopped from Mira's flying pillow towards Jayna's arm.

"Big sis, Anna didn't like this puny… stupid.. Prick!!" said Anna as she tried to say the meanest words.

"Hush… Anna, that's rude. You shouldn't say something to a random person." rebuked Jayna.

"But, this puny tree hugger wants Big sis, " said Anna, sticking her tongue at the elf, trying to mock him.

"Ehem… I am sorry about Anna. She is just a little girl. I hope you don't get offended." said Angus.

Although Angus didn't have too many interactions with the elf, he still heard something about them. Calling the elf a tree hugger is like mocking their ancestor, which is weird in human custom, but it is just how the elf is.

"Hahaha… No worries… No worries… Children like to say anything they like. This is why they are so beautiful." replied the elf with a warm smile.

"Anyway, what can I do for you?" asked the elf.

"We hear that you are selling the latest dwarf smithing tools." said Angus without beating around the bust.

"Ohh.. Straight to the point. Well, you are lucky. I happen to have it. But, since it will take some time to pack it as there is a lot of stuff there. Did you also need someone to assemble it? I could introduce you to some expert." asked the elf.

"Nah… We have our own experts. So, how long is the packing? Also, is it a second hand?" asked Angus.

"Don't worry about that. All of my stuff is new and original. I also guarantee its quality. As for the time, it will take about three-four days. I could send you to your inn if you want." said the elf.

"Three-four days, huh?" said Angus while contemplating something.

'The sooner we get out of this place, the better. But, if we could get the original and new item like he said, it would be better than asking for second-hand tools from the dwarf. Well, I hope nothing is wrong in the next few days.' thought Angus.

"So, did you want to buy it?" asked the elf.

"Yes. As for the payment?" asked Angus.

"Hmm…. How about that lady with blonde hair over there." said the elf with a smile.

Hearing these words, the room suddenly became unusually hot.

"Hahaha… I don't think it is a good idea to mix the joke with business matters." laughed Angus while glaring at the elf menacingly.

"I agree with you. But I'm also not joking." said the elf.

"See… That puny asslicking lizard wants Big Sis!! Anna already knows it!!" chimed Anna from the side while mocking the elf.

"Punny asslicking lizard?!" replied the elf with a frown.

If a tree hugger is mocking their ancestor, an asslicking lizard is a worst and cussing word for the elf. Only some people know about the existence of dragons in their homeland. But everyone knows elves and dragons have had a symbiotic relationship since ancient times.

Ignoring Anna's remark, "Mr. Elf, I think you should explain yourself. Or one of the precious elf races may be gone today." said Angus menacingly.

"Fufufu… It's nothing. I just find that woman is beautiful and charming. I believe you mortals called it love at first sight." said the elf.

"For an elf, you are truly arrogant and prideful, huh?" said Angus with a frown.

'Is the reason why Nabe said he is difficult to deal with?' thought Angus inwardly.

"Well, we are a practically immortal race compared to short-lived people. Still, I am not too heartless to take someone's woman. How about this if you could defeat me, you will get tools and everything I have for free?" asked the elf.

"But… If you lose, you will give me that woman." added the elf.

"No deal. I will not bet on her. Jayna is not a thing or merchandise." said Angus before turning around.

"Suit yourself." shrugged the elf.

"Wait, Angus…" called Jayna while putting down Jayna.

"No, I will not bet on you as a prize." declined Angus stubbornly before Jayna finished her sentence.

At this moment, Mira and her subordinates just stay silent and watch from the silence. Angus is also sure the taciturn girl is eating a snack once in a while, like watching a good movie.

"Angus, listen. His offer is better than asking the dwarf for second-hand tools. Besides, there is no guarantee the dwarf elders will allow us to buy it from them." said Jayna trying to persuade Angus.

"No. No matter how good it is. It is not worth it." said Angus.

"It's okay, Angus. I trust you." replied Jayna while looking at Angus.

Seeing Jayna's pleading eyes and her intention through their bond, Angus couldn't help but release a huge sigh. Then, he glances at the smiling elf while using [Analyze] at full capacity.

He is not stupid and is going to fight someone without any prior knowledge. Unfortunately, he couldn't gather much since the elf's physiology completely differs from the human race. They may look like humans, but their slender bodies are a few times stronger than human bodies.

Moreover, their bodies are also very light. Some of them are even lighter than a feather. No one knows it results from using a particular skill or unique body trait. But they certainly have magical bodies.

Angus also couldn't find the mana of the elf besides its density. The elf race is one of the races loved by nature, making it hard to investigate their total mana. Most people could only find their mana density and judge it from there.

Unfortunately, this is also another problem. The mana density will also increase as someone ages until they reach their lifespan limit. The elf race is one of the unique races capable of making their mana denser as they grow older until death.

'Judging by his mana density, he should not be very old and seventh grade. However, there is a possibility he is faking this and trapping me. I hear from father that the elf is also adept at using illusion magic besides wood elemental.' thought Angus while contemplating it.

Seeing the same harmless smile from the elf, Angus couldn't help but feel like getting played into a trap. In fact, he could know everything about the elf if he used the second threshold of [Analyze]. However, it will announce his power and attract more unforeseen danger.

'If this turns out to be a trap, I will fucking kill that red queen after this.' grumbled Angus inwardly.

"Alright, let's do this. However, I will only need the dwarf smithing tools." said Angus solemnly.

"Good choice. Then, please follow me." said the elf before leaving behind the counter table and opening the wooden door at the side wall.

Opening the wooden door, Angus feels like seeing an entirely other world. He could see a blue sky above, a fresh and cool dew in the air, and a lustful small plantation surrounding. However, the massive stone platform in front of them is the most iconic.

Seeing the enchanted stone platform, 'Yup, this is a trap. I will fucking beat that red queen!!' cursed Angus inwardly.
