Chapter 268: Chapter 268 – Country Girl

“Big sister Luvita, this is Squirrel Street.”

Riley was wearing a round white hat to cover the horns on her head and hide her identity as a demon.

“Squirrel Street?”

The girl by the name of Luvita was the Blackwood Priestess that sneaked out from Farucci's Mansion. She looked at the little demon girl who was less than half her height.

This little demon girl was rescued by Gallolie when they arrived at Norland. After a period of interaction with the elven priestesses while staying in Farucci's Mansion, the Blackwood Elves had grown to accept this pitiful demon girl.

“Riley, I was enlightened by the Mage Forum. It said that the hotel that appeared in 'Léon: The Demon' was located in this street.”

Using her height to her advantage, Luvita started looking around the surroundings. Unfortunately, having lived in the forest all her life, she was unable to distinguish between the human constructions.

“If you're talking about Hotel Black Dove, it's this one.”

As a former member of the Black Dove, albeit only a lowest tier member, Riley has mingled herself in the various corners of Squirrel Street. As such, she knew the Squirrel Street like the palm of her hand. As such, it was not an issue for her to guide the country girl Luvita around this area.

“Ohhh… humans… there's so many of them.”

Luvita looked toward the direction indicated by Riley. She saw a hotel with a symbol of a black dove. But, there were already a lot of 'tourists' scattered all around the hotel.

While this amount of people cannot be regarded as crowded for ordinary people, Luvita was someone who has lived in the Blackwood Forest for nearly a hundred years. The amount of humans she met in her life there could also be counted with one's fingers. As such, she started to shrink back from the number of humans before Hotel Black Dove.

“Big sister Luvita, perhaps it's because of the movie Hachiko,” said Riley.

......

“Hachiko… I remember now! There's a revelation on the Mage Forum stating that one will be able to see the statue of Hachiko waiting for his master at stage station at the end of this street.”

The moment Hachiko was mentioned, the Blackwood Elf immediately became spirited. Before waiting for Riley's response, she dragged the little demon girl's hand and started walking toward the end of Squirrel Street.

“Now that I see them, the humans have created a lot of fascinating things.”

On the way there, Luvita's behavior had completely transformed into a typical country bumpkin's first time in the city. She was looking left and right nonstop. Urged by her curiosity, she would occasionally run over to stores and touch their display items.

“Stop! Big sister Luvita… you can't be touching other people's goods like that!”

Riley knew the Squirrel Street's cruel rules and how unkind the merchants here were. She began to pull at the Blackwood Elf's arm repeatedly, urging her to leave the shop.

Unfortunately, her actions were too late. A goblin ran out from the shop and loudly shouted “Beat it if you're not buying anything!” at Luvita.

“You…” Luvita was planning to confront the goblin when Riley started to pull at her arm with more strength.

Riley was putting her entire body's strength to pull Luvita away.

“Big sister Luvita, we should go.”

Dissuaded by Riley, the Blackwood Elf was successfully pulled away.

“Humans and goblins' notion of money is truly incomprehensible,” said Luvita.

“Big sister Luvita has never interacted with money before?”

Riley patted her cheeks with her little hands. She was completely embarrassed by Luvita's country bumpkin behavior.

“The concept of money does not exist in our race. Our kinsmen will always help one another and share all the necessities.”

“Kinsmen…”

When Riley heard that word, she pulled down her hat. Having lived in Norland for all these years, she has never seen any of her kinsmen beside her elder brother.

Whether it be in the human world or the Demon Realm, mixed-blooded demons were a despised group.

“That should be Hachiko's plaza.”

Luvita did not hear Riley's mumble. Her attention was completely captured by the plaza ahead, the same plaza she saw in the movie. But, Luvita only took a couple steps before stopping.

“What's wrong?”

Riley raised her head to look at the plaza's direction. Upon doing so, her body started shivering in fear.

She saw that there were five white-armored knights standing at the plaza. There was no mistake… those knights were from the Nation of the Holy Church, they were the templars.

To Riley, they were people that she must flee from the moment she encountered them!

“Big sister Luvita…” Riley extended her hand and gently pulled at the corner of Luvita's clothes. She discovered that the Blackwood Elf was tightly clenching her fist. Her emotions were extremely unstable.

After experiencing the pain of having her kinsmen killed and her home burned by the Heresy Tribunal, no Blackwood Elf would be able to remain calm at the sought of the people from the Nation of the Holy Church.

Those five templars seemed to be tangled by Norland's law enforcers. Soon, a man dressed like a priest arrived and started talking with the law enforcers to mediate the situation.

There were two nuns following that priest… Luvita kept having a feeling that one of the nun was giving off a stage feeling.

That nun noticed the Blackwood Elf's gaze. When she raised her head and met Luvita's glance from afar, she revealed a smile at Luvita.

She's been discovered! At this moment, the Blackwood Elf immediately utilized her stealth abilities, picked up Riley, surprising her in the process, and started fleeing toward Squirrel Street's other direction.

…

'Gallolie is about to give bir…'

Wait, that's wrong.

Compiling a message, Joshua pressed the escape key and deleted a series of words. Then, he started writing anew.

'Gallolie's World Tree is about to germinate? I will proceed to Farucci's Mansion at once.'

After typing out that message, he tapped send.

It was the dark elf who informed Joshua that news. Even though Joshua had entered an alliance agreement with the Blackwood Elves, he still ordered the dark elf Thousand Faces to pay attention to the Blackwood Elves.

The growth of the Blackwood Elves' World Tree going according to his expectations. Nevertheless, Joshua was still not satisfied with the current pace.

After all, there exist nine Blackwood Elven priestesses in the Farucci's Mansion that were capable of gathering nourishments for their World Tree. It was also not their desire to 'retire' in the mansion.

Right now, the only method Joshua could think of that would make them well-known to the citizens of Norland would be though music…

But, with Tylene here, selling records to raise one's reputation and earnings would be extremely difficult.

Might as well… hold a contest? Contests would always be a most attention-grabbing form of entertainment!

But, in order to hold that 'contest,' he would need 'television.'

Now that the second World Tree was germinating, Joshua felt that it was time to attempt the next phase.
