After all the couples recited their vows, they all entered the village hall.
A group of elves wearing servant uniforms appeared. Tables and chairs floated above their heads. The hunters watched as they set up the party's dining area. Not long after, another group of elves appeared arranging the dishes and food.
The aroma of the food pierced the hunters's noses. Their mouths salivated when they saw the various meat dishes served on the dining table.
On the balcony, Adelia saw the excitement of the party. The elven woman raised both hands in the air.
"I want to share this happy day with you. Let's have a party!"
"Uwooooggh!"
The sound of hunter cheers echoed. They quickly took their seats.
The hunters poured wine and toasted. Some of them sang on the table. Some were seen dancing together. Waiters continued to fill empty glasses and empty plates. The sound of flutes and drums made them forget that they were in a dungeon.
Despite the lively party, the high elf seemed to have a flat face.
"Why are you putting on a sullen face? Is this party boring for you?"
Zhang Gang came over to the elf woman carrying two glasses. That man willingly went downstairs to get ale for the two of them. He offered the drinks with a smile.
"This is your party. At least smile a little," said the man. He ran a hand through his hair.
Adelia accepted the glass. Her flat face turned into a sweet smile. The woman said thank you, then Zhang Gang laughed loudly.
Several times Zhang Gang cracked jokes, but the responses given by the high elf seemed ordinary. She just smiled and nodded.
Zhang took a deep breath. His hand did not stop twirling the glass. He glanced at Adelia, who seemed transfixed by the festivities.
"Eggh, by the way Miss Adelia, do you have plans to get married too?"
Hearing the unnatural question, one of Adelia's eyebrows rose. She glanced at Zhang Gang. That middle-aged man looked flushed.
A grin appeared on her face. "Of course. Why not?"
Zhang Gang opened his eyes wide.
The Blood Oath Guild Leader was quite desperate to get close to Adelia.
It was no secret that Adelia was the most beautiful woman in Elven Village. There were dozens of hunters approaching her. Her beauty was able to captivate the eyes of every man, Zhang Gang was no exception.
After seeing the wedding feast of the elves, he saw the opportunity to marry Adelia. Although the possibility was very small.
"Don't you mind marrying an old man?" asked Zhang Gang in a trembling tone.
Adelia smiled amusedly. Of course that elven woman knew the meaning behind the question.
"I do like to look for men who are older than me."
The answer given by Adelia excited Zhang Gang. The middle-aged man had been a single for 10 years since his first wife died. His youthful spirit was beginning to stir.
Zhang Gang grimaced like a fool.
"But alas, I have yet to see a creature older than me."
Hearing Adelia's answer, Zhang Gang opened his eyes wide. It was easy enough for that man to understand.
'ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ Novel(B) in.ᴄᴏᴍ ᴛᴏ ᴇxᴘᴇʀɪᴇɴᴄᴇ ꜰᴀsᴛᴇʀ ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ sᴘᴇᴇᴅ.',
Adelia was an adult high elf. The average lifespan of an elf could reach 600 to 800 years. While High Elves could be more than 1000 years old.
They would remain young in appearance even though they were thousands of years old.
Zhang Gang pursed his lips. His face appeared to be covered in cold sweat. "What do you think I look like in the eyes, miss Adelia?"
The high elf looked up, her index finger tapping on her chin.
"You look like my grandson."
Upon hearing the reply, he nodded with a grimace.
Adelia knew that the man next to her was disappointed. But she pretended not to see it.
The two of them were silent for a long time. The atmosphere became awkward, at least that's how Zhang Gang felt. This was the first time he had been treated like a child by a woman who looked so much younger than him.
The man sighed. He needed to break this atmosphere.
"By the way, if I've noticed from earlier, you always seem not to enjoy the party. Do you dislike parties?" asked Zhang Gang.
Adelia shook her head. "It's not that I don't like it. It's just that this party is coming to an end."
Hearing the last sentence spoken by the high elf, Zhang Gang frowned. He was sure that a few hours ago Adelia had said that there would be a big party for seven days and seven nights.
Then why did it all coming to an end?
The man puzzledly wondered for a while. Until finally he thought that time elves had a long life. Thus, the flow of time for them was relatively different for them. So, he ignored it.
Although in truth, the party was really coming to an end.
"Haha! Cheers!"
"Hey! Chinese! Look at me!"
A Russian hunter looked dance with a bottle on his head. All the hunters laughed as they clapped their hands.
The more time passed, the merrier the party became. The elven servants kept filling empty bottles with ale, replacing the bone-filled plate with new dishes. The hunters did not stop dancing to the music. Not a few hunters were seen standing on side or just chatting. Each of them enjoyed the feast in their own way.
In the middle of the crowd suddenly came the sound of a man shouting.
Due to the loud music, the party was still going on. Most of the hunters were still engrossed in the party music and their fun. Only a few hunters heard the scream.
"Did you hear that?"
"Hear what?"
A hunter with brown hair and blue eyes asked one of his drunken partner. But the man seemed to ignore him and went back to chugging his glass of ale.
That hunter hissed. Not being taken seriously, he got up from his seat. The man staggered through the crowd of people who were drowning in euphoria. The effects of the alcohol were still lingering in his head.
He finally came out of the party at the village hall. His eyes looked around, the village streets seemed deserted. Moments ago there were many merchants and a few street musicians.
"Where did they all go?"
His eyes narrowed, trying to focus his vision. He seemed to see something in the shadows of the forest.
Not long after, his eyes opened wide. The man's lips trembled.
"No. .... No...."
'',
A man in a black demon mask with hair like flames walked towards him. Hundreds of walking monsters followed him from behind.
The hunter quickly turned around and returned to the village hall. He ran with terror on his face.
"MONSTERS! MONSTERS HAVE ENTERED THE VILLAGE!!!"
That man shouted at the top of his lungs, until the veins in his neck bulged. However, the people ignored him. They were still busy partying. There were even some hunters who laughed at him.
"I'M SERIOUS MONSTERS ARE COMING!"
Zhang Gang heard the commotion. He put down his glass. His attention was drawn to that man.
"What's going on?"
He continued to observe the man from a distance, trying to figure out what was going on. The noise and music blocked his hearing.
Suddenly, yellow lightning struck in the middle of the party.
BAM!
Zhang Gang was so shocked that he fell down. So did Adelia. That man quickly helped her up.
"Are you okay, Adelia?"
The High elf did not respond. Her face looked pale. Her eyes were glued on the crowd.
Zhang Gang was worried about the woman's condition. Then, the sound of a scream rang out. He quickly looked towards the party.
Both of his eyes were wide open.
"No... way..."
Hundreds of monsters went on a rampage amidst the festivities. They attacked the drunken hunters. Meanwhile, the hunters who still had their wits about them quickly ran for their weapons. Some were trying to escape.
"Monsters! Monster! Monsters!"
"Get your weapons!"
"They're coming!"
The hunters screamed in terrir. Their voices replaced the laughter and music that echoed through the air. They tried to wake their unconscious comrades. The servant elves ran around. They saved themselves first. While the monsters preyed on thousands of humans who became easy meals.
Only the Blood Oath hunters seemed ready to fight. Unlike the other hunters, they did not join the party. They were on security duty.
Seeing the party turned to 180-degree, Zhang Gang could only stand still. The man was speechless. The situation shocked him.
Until a soft voice awakened the man.
"Mr. Zhang Gang, come to your senses."
A beautiful face and pearly eyes stared into him.
"Miss Adelia..."
Unlike him, the woman didn't seem surprised at all. There wasn't even a look of panic on her face.
"We have no time for daydreaming."
Adelia smiled broadly as if what she had been waiting for had arrived.
