Cale started to frown. How could someone suddenly launch a hook like this? Cale wanted to sigh, but just turned around with the frown still on his face.

�Mm!�

He then flinched.

An Elf was standing behind him. Pendrick had lowered his hood to reveal his Elf ears.

The novel had mentioned that the Whales were so beautiful they could put the Elves to shame. However, as one of the main character�s party members, Pendrick had a different kind of beauty compared to other Elves.

He was someone who lived in despair as an Elf who could not handle an Elemental. However, he still had a purpose as a healer. Although his face was pale, Cale could not deny that Pendrick was handsome.

� Is that Elf sick? He seems very pale.

Although Pendrick looked pale, he was not sick. But he sure was handsome. Cale continued to stare at the Elf, Pendrick. This made Pendrick start to think.

�He really isn�t an average person.�

Cale did not even flinch after seeing an Elf. Although Cale was not speaking, Cale�s gaze seemed to be telling him to hurry up and explain.

Since he had brought it up, he needed to explain the details.

�I am an Elf and I live in the Elf Village.�

Cale held back a sigh. He turned his gaze away and looked far away as Pendrick started to explain. He felt like his luck was really bad. It was always a mess whenever he left his house.

At that moment, something Pendrick said caught Cale�s attention.

�An organization has invaded our village in an attempt to steal the branch of the World Tree.�

�What? Wouldn�t the Elf Village be destroyed if you lose the branch?�

Cale was so shocked that he accidentally blurted that out loud.

The World Tree was an existence of legends. Most fantasy worlds were said to be supported by a World Tree. However, the World Tree wasn�t really that grand of an existence.

However, it existed in a special location and helped the creatures of nature live peacefully. As for the Elves, they used a branch of the World Tree with permission in order to build their villages.

It was a village made with the help of the trees and nature. The Elves lived in that village, and the World Tree�s branch used illusion magic to let the Elves live without danger.

The Elf Village would disappear if the World Tree�s branch disappeared.

�Yes, it will be destroyed.�

Pendrick hid his shock as he calmly answered. He then started to observe Cale more thoroughly.

There was a reason this person did not become shocked after seeing that he was an Elf. JrNovels.com
