212 Chapter 212 - Blackwood Fores

As the sky gradually brightened, the carriage finally arrived at the Blackwood City’s border with the Blackwood Forest.

Carrying her luggage, Gallolei walked down the carriage.

This place was the only stage station outside the Blackwood Forest. It has been maintained since hundreds of years ago when Gallolei’s family reached an agreement with the elves of the Blackwood Forest.

Gradually, the stage station outside the Blackwood Forest has developed into a small exchange. The elves would use special medicinal herbs and ores to trade with humans arcanotech devices and other novel items.

It was currently very early in the morning, so early that there was barely any light. Yet, one could still see some humans and blackwood elves at the stage station.

“You can return to the manor. You don’t have to follow me.”

Gallolei said to the carriage driver. Then, carrying her suitcase, she entered the Blackwood Forest.

The reason why this forest was called ‘Blackwood’ was not because of the color of its trees. Instead, it was due to the size of the trees. The trees in the forest were enormous. Every single truck resembled a giant’s thick leg that reached over a hundred meters tall.

“But, Elder Safran, we shouldn’t allow a human to enter the forest with how things are right now.”

“The Holy Tree Narushi had admitted that human’s daughter. She is Narushi’s priestess. As such, she is one of us.”

The elf elder called Safran patted one of the young elf’s shoulder. With that, the elves withdrew their bows, arrows and hostility.

As for Elder Safran, he walked over to Gallolei with the enormous brown bear.

“Esteemed teacher Safran.”

Gallolei bowed to the aged Blackwood elf. Safran could be said to be the wisest and more farsighted elder in the history of the Blackwood Elves. He was the person who led the Blackwood Elves to sign a pact with the humans.

“Gallolei, you’ve grown up… The last time I saw you, you’re small enough to hide in Ayte’s fur.”

The aged elven elder examined the Black Swan. To the elves, the speed at which humans grew was simply unimaginable.

“Get on Ayte’s back. Flay, if you’re tired, you can get on top too.”

Gallolei was covering her ears. She felt suffocated like her heart was being grabbed by something.

Dragon… this was the only thought in Gallolei’s mind. Only a creature as terrifying as a giant dragon would be able to let out such a roar.

Fortunately, the brown bear blocked most of the impact from the roar for Gallolei. Else, Gallolei might’ve lost her sense of hearing after just arriving at the Blackwood Forest.

After the roar stopped, the brown bear used its moisty nose to rub against Gallolei who was hiding in its bosom. It seemed to be confirming Gallolei’s condition.

“I’m alright…”

In order to express her gratitude, Gallolei took out some candy and snacks to feed the bear. The brown bear ate her snacks without even bothering to remove the packaging.

“Elder Safran, the Brass Dragon… what is going on with it?”

Gallolei’s bodyguard walked out from the brown bear’s protection and arrived beside the elven elder. She has lived in the Blackwood Forest for all her life but has never experienced such a terrifying roar from the Brass Dragon.
