Chapter 373: Witch, Hoe?
After landing on a remote tree trunk, Elysia revoked her invisible magic and left the rest to Nell because Nell would be responsible for going with Vanessa and Gioragh in a blanket of invisibility.
\'Okay, I\'ll go first. Please follow us from behind.\' Elysia telepathically sent Nell and Vanessa, then she jumped down from the tree.
It was a tree over twenty meters tall, but Elysia could easily land perfectly without making any sound. After confirming that Nell was in invisibility with the two beasts, Elysia walked toward Zhadphis Woodland in a relaxed and natural manner.
\'Uhm, Rhea, we won\'t raise any suspicions, will we? The elves in this world also walk on the ground instead of jumping from tree to tree like ninjas, right?\' Elysia asked the baby in her arms. She needed to confirm her actions before they met any elves.
\'Ninjas?\' Rhea thought for a moment, but she didn\'t know that. So, she just went straight to the conclusion. \'No, the elves in this world generally behave like humans.\'
\'Oh so it\'s like that. I can rest easy then.\' Elysia heaved a sigh of relief and quickened her pace.
Not long after, Elysia arrived near the city gate. Several elven guards dressed in green robes were standing guard there. The guards were checking every elf that wanted to enter the city.
Eshvelenora Woodland was like a big city on the Human Continent, but it had many elements like the forest city on the Fairy Continent. It was as if it was a mixture of the cities on the Human Continent and the Fairy Continent.
\'Looks like the city\'s security system isn\'t that tight. Is there a reason behind it? Nell, you can go first into the city and wait for us there. We\'ll catch up with you soon.\' Elysia walked over to join the short queue to follow the normal procedure.
\'Why don\'t we just enter the city in invisibility like before? Look, the guards ask every elves that come in to show certain ID cards or letters.\' Nell didn\'t immediately agree. She knew that Elysia would be in trouble because they didn\'t have any ID cards.
\'It\'s okay. I can handle this.\' Elysia stopped at the back of the queue. Only four elves were waiting in line in front of her.
Seeing that Elysia had such high confidence, Nell simply complied. She flew in through the city gate with the two beasts and waited for Elysia there.
Meanwhile, Elysia glanced at an ID card belonging to a male elf, the one dressed like a fighter. That ID card was like an adventurer card with information printed on it, somewhat similar to the adventurer card on the Human Continent.
When the identity card was checked by the guard, Elysia also scanned it with her advanced perception. At the same time, she put her hand in her robe pocket and made her identity card with imagination magic.
\'You are clever, Ely. But, please be careful because that card is still from your magic and is composed of magic energy. Don\'t forget to disguise it just like your current robe.\' Elena gave a gentle reminder, just in case.
\'En, that\'s for sure.\' Elysia immediately enveloped the card with subtle magic. So, at least it would resemble an ordinary-looking object.
\'Ahem, well... Are you going to use your past name in your current disguise?\' Elena glanced at the name on Elysia\'s identity card.
\'Uhm, I can\'t come up with another name. Since I used to be a man, so what\'s wrong with that?\' Elysia just felt that there was nothing wrong with using her past life name.
\'Oh, okay.\' Elena closed the topic of their conversation because Elysia\'s turn was almost here.
Elysia simply showed her identity card right after that but didn\'t hand it over because no one asked for it.
"Hmm... Sir Ali, yes? Oh! You are a man. Please forgive me if I sound rude, but you look very much like a girl instead. So, this is the rumored rare type of elf called Krasivaya, hmm..." The elf guard glanced at the adventurer card in Elysia\'s hand, then stroked his chin in an understanding nod.
"You can say it like that." Elysia decided not to talk more than necessary.
"Haha, is this cute girl your baby daughter?" The other guard gave a signal with her eyes to the long mint-green-haired baby. But she stole a few glances at the pretty papa because she was a little intrigued.
Rhea turned to look at the guards, but they were just stunned as if frozen. She completely didn\'t know the guards went kyun and stunned just because of her baby innocent gaze.
So, she leaned back against Elysia as if going to sleep. After all, she just needed to act as a sweet baby.
"Yes, she is my baby daughter. Do I need to pay for two to get into city?" Elysia didn\'t want to linger there because some of the elves waiting in line behind her might become impatient.
"Hush, we\'re still on duty." The burly guard scolded the female guard, then smiled kindly. "No, you only have to pay for one. We are unable to charge your daughter an entry fee."
Hearing that, Elysia put her identity card back into her pocket and gave some silver coins as if she already knew the entry fee.
"Okay, welcome to Eshvelenora Woodland, Sir Ali. This is just a suggestion, please don\'t accept invitations from women or men you don\'t know well. A pretty guy like you will attract some troublesome women you don\'t want to know at all." The burly guard pointed at the city with his open palm.
"Thank you for your kind advice, Mr. Guard." Elysia nodded and walked through the city gate.
Right after that, the female elf guard spoke in a whisper-like voice to her fellow guard. "Oh, what a pity. If I\'m not on duty, then I\'ll take that pretty papa on a tour. I wonder, who is so lucky to be the wife of that pretty man. If he is a widower, then maybe I can enlist as a new mama to his cute baby daughter, hehe..."
"Hah?" You and your drive to something beautiful. All women are the same. You will never understand the beauty of manly men and our masculinity." The dashing guard showed his biceps with a mocking smile at the female guard. "But, that green-haired baby is so cute."
"Oh no, did we get one new freak? Nevermind, next!" Another guard gave a strange smile to his two friends. After that, he just shook his head, then went back to carrying out his duties.
A little away from the city gate, Elysia felt a little silly, but Elena laughed heartily in the Soul Realm. They listened to the conversation of the guards for a moment, and that was the reason.
\'Huff, phew... Ely, looks like pretty boy is highly sought after by female elves.\' Elena wiped a tear from the corner of her eye. The female guard just now was quite amusing.
\'Well, forget it. I will only use this form for two or three hours.\' Elysia didn\'t want to make a fuss about anything. She didn\'t even want to consider much of anything other than completing their mission on the Elven Continent.
\'But be careful, Ely. If it is necessary, I will immediately help you when any witch elf try to approach you with ulterior motives, hehe...\' Elena looked around. Sure enough, she was able to find a hoe that was approaching even though she had just said that.
\'Witch?\' Elysia didn\'t immediately understand.
\'Yes, witch, hehe. Look Ely, there are hoes everywhere. One is approaching. Let\'s see what we will get from her.\' Elena answered while humming.
"That man over there, could you stop for a moment for me?"
Elysia could hear a woman\'s voice nearby, but she kept walking toward the downtown area nonetheless.
"Hey, it\'s rude to ignore a call from a fair lady like me. Don\'t you know who my father is?"
An ordinary-looking woman in a revealing black dress walked quickly and stood in front of Elysia. Thus, Elysia could only stop in her tracks. Perhaps, this woman was from the local aristocrat?
Elysia looked at the short blue-haired woman right in the face as she was afraid she would blush if she tried to look any lower than that. "Uhm, so you called me. Please forgive me because I don\'t know who your father is. You need to ask your mother for that. This might be a little rude, but do we know each other?"
"Ah, uh? You did apologize and sound polite, but somehow it\'s a bit like sarcasm? Nevermind, we don\'t know each other, but I find you quite pleasing to the eye. Come with me to my mansion. That way we will get to know more closely." The aristocratic lady unfolded her hand fan and put the small matter aside. She held out her hand for an invitation.
"Please forgive me, but I just arrived in this city and intend to go around to find out what the capital city has to offer. Are you a local?" Elysia tried to get something from this arrogant aristocratic woman in a simple but non-offensive way.
Perhaps, it would have been much quicker to gather information with a local aristocrat as a guide.
"Oh, that\'s not bad either. This Krasivaya Elf is mine~" The aristocratic lady muttered in a mosquito-like voice. She also covered her mouth with her fan.
Then, she folded her fan with a wide smile. "What a coincidence, I am a daughter of the Vencan Family, Arlayna Vencan. You asked the right person, allow me to take you on a dat-, ahem city tour."
