Chapter 564 Extreme Xenophobia
"Hmm, the customs and traditions of the elves are indeed different from those of humans."

Celia walked through the border city of the elves, slowly enjoying the scenery along the way.

Her first impression of Elf City was that it had a lot of trees.

The streets were lined with lush greenery.

Most of the houses are low and nestled among the trees, shaded by their branches.

"I heard that treehouses are a characteristic of the Elven race, so why aren't there any treehouses here?"

Celia looked around.

Ross's phantom appeared beside her, smiled slightly, and said, "Treehouses are a specialty of the Elf Forest. This is just a border city for other races. How could they possibly build a special treehouse city for everyone to see?"

"That's not right. In Southern Border City, they specifically showcase the features of the Ishtar Empire to the elves and orcs."

“That’s the idea of ​​humans, or rather, the idea of ​​the Lord of Southern City. Elves don’t have that idea. I suspect they don’t really want to create a border city to allow people from other races and empires to come in and communicate.” Ross smiled slightly.

"How can we do without communication?"

"Yes, how can we manage without communication? Why do you think the Elven race was defeated and reduced to a small corner of the world, not even as large as the smallest human empire?"

"Hmm, speaking of which, the elves do have a history of arrogance." Celia pondered for a moment, recalling the history books about the elves.

As she spoke, Celia slowly walked into a shop with a treehouse style.

She glanced at the two large trees beside her that seemed to have become the building's supporting pillars, and went inside.

This is a shop run by native elves, filled with trinkets from within the elven realm, many of which are specialties of the Elven Forest, such as specimens of certain plants, fruits, and the like.

Many other things were emitting magical fluctuations, and Celia only recognized some of them, not most of them.

When she came in, the shop assistant's previously sour face softened, and he nodded to Celia.

Hello, welcome.

Celia noticed the subtle changes in the other person's expression, paused for a moment, but quickly realized why.

Behind her, a human mercenary walked in, and the shop assistant who had greeted her returned to his sour face, ignoring the human mercenary completely.

“It seems the elves are quite xenophobic,” Celia said.

Ross nodded and smiled, "Even your elven friend hates humans."

Celia nodded. She knew why this was the case; after all, the fact that the Elven race could only occupy a small corner of the land was a product of the former Holy Court.

The elves don't just hate the Holy Court; they generally come to hate the entire human race. Even when they want to do business with humans, they'll put on a sour face, as if it's a take-it-or-leave-it situation.

Upon leaving, Celia received a more direct comparison.

She didn't buy anything, but simply because she looked like an elf, the shop assistant watched her leave in a very friendly manner.

The human mercenary who bought a lot of elven specialties even spoke with impatience when paying the bill.

Celia observed the human mercenary's expression, but he seemed used to it and didn't say anything.

"It seems I'll have to be extra careful on my upcoming journey with the elves," Celia sighed.

At the same time, she was glad that she had disguised herself after entering, making herself look like an elf rather than a human.

She sneaked in, trying to avoid trouble if possible.

Celia was acutely aware of the trouble she was in.

Even if someone came in human form, they would at most be given the cold shoulder.

She might cause an accident that could directly lead to the destruction of the elven city or something...

Unnecessary risks should be avoided if possible. After strolling around the border city, Celia bought enough supplies for the next period of time and then quickly left.

"If possible, it's best to avoid going to places like hotels in the future."

Celia made up her mind.

After leaving the border city, she headed north and finally entered the Elf Forest at dusk.

Upon entering the Elf Forest, Celia sensed that the surrounding elements had become more active.

Especially natural elements.

She could sense that if she were a nature-based mage, meditating here would be almost as efficient as meditating in the Industrious Tower meditation room at the Holy Magic Academy.

"Such a rich natural element."

Celia took a deep breath.

"The elves possess such a large and unique area; they must have many high-level mages."

Celia became even more cautious.

If every elf lived in this environment, and most of them were nature-based sorcerers, they couldn't possibly be weak.

Ross smiled slightly: "Theoretically, that's how it is. You might see fourth-tier beings everywhere among the elves, and third-tier beings being worse than dogs."

Celia tilted her head. "Is it that powerful? Then why were the elves driven to such a small place?"

Ross said, "Why don't you go ask an elf and see what they have to say?"

Celia thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I'll ask when I have the chance."

Ross glanced at her, sensing that she was simply looking to cause trouble.

After entering the Elf Forest, Celia hadn't gone far when she heard the energy fluctuations of several elves ahead.

An arrow suddenly appeared and shot into the ground in front of her.

"Stop and identify yourself," a voice said.

Celia stopped and looked ahead.

Soon, a group of elves emerged from the depths of the forest and came before Celia.

The leader was a female elf, who, like most elves, was very beautiful and appealed to human desires.

The other teammates consisted of two men and two women, making a total of five people.

The leading female elf looked at Celia for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Why haven't you made any contact with the Elf Forest?"

"I was born outside, and only now do I have the opportunity to enter the Elf Forest," Celia said.

This was the explanation she had prepared long ago.

Long ago, Celia learned a great deal about the elves from Elena, including the wonders of the Elf Forest.

It seems to come from the Elf God. After an elf is born, it can resonate with the entire Elf Forest in a special way, thus allowing the Elf Forest to remember the elf's aura.

This aura can be shared with other Pokémon, allowing them to sense each other's aura when they get close.

Elena said this thing wasn't very useful; it was mainly used to identify elves, but it could only be used in the Elf Forest.

At the same time, if one is not born in the Elf Forest and does not undergo a blessing ceremony, one cannot leave a trace in the Elf Forest.

Celia was curious about something.

Can humans leave their mark in the Elf Forest?
