Clinging to the Witcher world to become a god of martial arts

Damn!

Lorne paused, and Rudolf and the others ahead turned around and saw Mia peeking out of the bushes.

Mia was holding a few bottles of low-level Starlight Potions in her hand, and her small body shrank back a little when she saw the unfamiliar humans.

It cowered behind Lorne, clutching the hem of his robe, and asked in fear, "Brother Lorne, who are they?"

Rudolf and the others exchanged glances.

Pointed ears, red eyes, waxy white skin, and silvery-red blood vessels.

Kenlar tribe!

Lauren was extremely excited and pointed to the little guy behind Lorne: "Ken... um."

Just as he was about to blurt it out, Rudolf covered his mouth from the side.

Rudolf's gaze darted around, scrutinizing and reproachful, as if trying to pierce through Lorne.

Lorne lied to them!

The entrance to this folding space was very hidden and complicated; it took the group about a week to finally get in.

Everything was for the purpose of finding Lorne and taking him with them to complete the Elf's Tear's request.

Even though the target of their commission was right in front of them, Lorne deceived them by saying that the poplar forest was an orc settlement.

This is probably the stronghold of the Kenral elves...

Lorne dared not look directly at the group and clenched his fists slightly.

【Fist Bone II】- Bonus.

If things take a turn for the worse, Lorne is prepared to subdue the men by force before explaining the situation to them.

To his surprise, Rudolf approached with a gentle smile.

"Little sister, we mean no harm." Rudolf crouched down and looked at Mia. "We're here to find our companions."

"Companions?" Mia timidly tugged at Lorne's sleeve. "Brother Lorne, are they your companions?"

Lorne didn't know how to answer, and forced out a "Mm".

"They're here to see Brother Lorne."

Until now, Mia still believes that Lorne had no ill intentions and was just a human who accidentally wandered into this place.

They even told Lorne that they were cursed elves.

Rudolf and his companions' direct encounter with Mia caught him completely off guard.

With the slightest mishap, Mia would realize that Lorne and his group were searching for the Kenlar tribe with ulterior motives.

Now, the only option is to take advantage of the situation and agree with Rudolf's words, making the little guy think that Lorne had been missing for too long and his companions were too worried to come looking for him.

Ironically, it was all a coincidence.

Although Lorne had the intention of obtaining the Tears of the Elves, he was coincidentally teleported to the elven settlement.

Although Rudolf and his companions shared the same goal, they had only stumbled upon this place by chance while searching for Lorne.

Even more coincidentally, Rudolph was about to leave when he bumped into Mia, who was looking for Lorne.

It was as if a large net had been woven in advance, and fate made everything seem natural.

"Brother Lorne, let's go tell Grandpa Chieftain." Mia pulled Lorne and started walking into the poplar grove.

"Wait a moment, Your Highness the Little Elf," Lorne reassured Mia.

He couldn't rush to inform Sodrion; he needed to first explain to Rudolf and the others, dissuading them from obtaining the Tears of the Elves.

The folded space has been exposed, and the corresponding coordinates are known to everyone.

It's clearly unlikely that they can be sent out by random teleportation; the only option is to rearrange the spatial array.

Given this situation, how Soderion would deal with these people became a real problem.

Would it really go to great lengths to rearrange the magic array for a few unrelated humans?

Although Lorne knew that Sodrion was a kind man, he couldn't be sure that the situation was now far out of control.

The first step is to calm Mia down, and then explain what happened to Rudolf and the others.

"Give Brother Lorne some time." Lorne's thoughts were in turmoil. "Can we tell Grandpa Chieftain later?"

The little guy felt very insecure and clung tightly to Lorne's robe.

Trusting Lorne, it finally nodded firmly: "Okay."

"Good girl." Lorne ruffled Mia's hair.

"Your Highness, please go to the little house first. I'll chat with my companions for a bit and then come over."

"Hmm!" Mia turned and ran, not wanting to stay any longer, even forgetting to hand the low-grade Starlight Potion to Lorne.

Once the rustling sound from the thatch had faded into the distance, Lorne finally felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders.

Next, I need to explain things properly to these people.

"Lorne, you deceived us!" Lauren was the first to voice her dissatisfaction.

"We've wasted a lot of time just trying to find out if you're safe," Nina said, frowning.

"I didn't expect you to have been staying with the bounty target all this time, and even concealing this information. Have you forgotten what Lady Elena's bounty is?"

Rudolph did not join in questioning Lorne; he simply watched from the sidelines, remaining somewhat silent.

"Calm down, everyone." Knowing he was in the wrong, Lorne's tone softened slightly. "Let me explain."

"Let's hear what Lorne has to say," Rudolph said, gesturing for Lauren and Nina to be quiet.

"That is indeed the settlement of the Kenlar elves," Lorne began to recount his experience.

"After I was teleported here, they captured me and locked me up, but they are not like what Mrs. Elena said."

"From my interactions with them these past few days, they're not bad, although the Bloodborne curse certainly exists..."

Lorne recounted his experiences over the past few days to the group, omitting the part about Mia brewing potions for him and focusing on his process of learning elven runes.

"Stop." Nina stopped Lorne and offered her own perspective:

"Regardless of Lady Elena's purpose, she can at least give each of us a high-grade magic crystal, can't she?"

"Yes, that's right." Lauren readily agreed. "We've spent a lot of time and energy on this; we can't let all this effort go to waste."

Lorne was speechless. How could he persuade the others to give up on the Tears of Energy?

He recalled his meeting with Mrs. Elena, trying to find some clues to deduce her purpose.

First, you enter the Blood Eye Divination House, where the interior decorations are somewhat mysterious.

Next, upon reaching the second floor, one sees Mrs. Elena, who is wrapped up tightly by the window.

Finally, a soul contract was signed, and the group was informed of the relevant matters.

Was there any information I missed...? Lorne thought back carefully.

correct!

While searching through the resource area map, she knocked over a small box containing blue contact lenses...

Lady Elena's pupils are purple.

If bloodshot eyes take on blue, isn't that purple?

In addition to the fortune-telling shop's signboard, "Blood Eyes," Lady Elena also covered up all her exposed skin.

Lady Elena is an elf of the Kenlar tribe!

Lorne only then realized that Lady Elena herself was an elf of the Kenlar race.

However, she gave a commission, sending several people deep into the resource area to find the elves of Kenlar and obtain the Tears of the Elves.

Combined with her half-truths and half-lies, and her understanding of the resource area.

What exactly is Lady Elena's purpose...?
