Cale had no plans of letting the Elves meet with a Dragon. He was planning on using that card in the future when it would be to his benefit. As for now, it was best to leave his identity as the human who was the closest to a Dragon.

Cale stopped walking and opened up his arms.

The Elves who were following Cale, as well as the ones peeking from a distance, all listened to Cale�s voice.

�Can�t you feel the great and mighty aura of Dragon-nim around us? I believe that all of you Elf-nims, the ones who are said to be the closest to nature, would be able to feel this great and mighty aura.�

Naturally, the older Elves and the Elementals could feel the aura around Cale. It was as if a Dragon was casually roaming around Cale. However, they thought that there was no way a Dragon would follow a human around. Unless it was crazy, a Dragon would never do that, especially while keeping itself invisible. They believed that they were sensing the Dragon�s aura that was protecting the human in front of them.

Cale observed the Elves nodding their heads and continued to speak.

�I will speak with the Dragon-nim and see if I can create an opportunity for you to speak with Dragon-nim in the future.�

The Elves jerked their heads up only to see a gloomy expression on Cale�s face.

�However, right now, as you all probably know, the village is in a difficult place and many scary things are happening around the continent. I need to quickly leave to deal with some of those things.�

Some of the Elves nodded their heads.

These were the ones who were watching Cale from afar.

The Elf village was a mess. They barely managed to fend off the invaders who were aiming for the branch of the World Tree. They did not like the attitudes of the other Elves who were praising a human during such a time. It wasn�t like Dragon-nim was here. Of course, it was fine to accept and respect a person who has received the protection of a Dragon, but they did not like such a happy atmosphere in a time of trouble.

While they had such thoughts on their minds, Cale�s words reached their ears. They could clearly tell that the human in front of them was the one who had saved them from despair.

Cale still kept this gloomy atmosphere about him. They could feel a sense of responsibility on Cale�s shoulders. It was solidified even further by Cale�s next words.

�I have a lot to do. These were the tasks that were assigned to me.�

The adult Elves� expressions stiffened at those words.

They felt like they knew what Cale was trying to do, even without him telling them.

Just like when he had saved their village, and just like they had heard from the Chief about the other time when he saved the capital, he probably had similar things to do. He was probably going to sacrifice himself again without seeking any material gain.

Cale observed the calmer crowd that was focused on him and started to think.

�I definitely have a lot of things to do.�

He needed to trick Toonka and make some profit. He needed to meet with a lot of people. Of course, he didn�t know what the order of things would be, but he needed to do everything in the near future.

�It was nice meeting with all of you, the friends of nature, however, I believe it is time for me to leave.�

The children who still had a lot of questions seemed disappointed, but the adults consoled them and created a path for Cale.

Cale looked back at his group that had stopped to wait for him. The Elf healer, Pendrick, seemed to be full of admiration. JrNovels.com
