Chapter 80: Bootlickers Look at Status Too
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“What!!!” Taylor shouted. He was dumbfounded.
The guard, who had just delivered news to him, had disappeared. He had returned to organize the elves who were moving houses.
Taylor was shocked when he heard what was happening. The Executive called Arthur had just told him that the entire Blue Moon Town was going to move to the City of Dawn. Princess Annie had decided to change her living environment. She was sick of living in Blue Moon Town!
All the Moonlight Elves were also going to leave. When so much time passed in a place and there were male and female guards, new lives would definitely be born. But these guards were the closest to the princess and would have to follow her.
As for the other Blacklead Elves, they could follow if they want to. But even if they wanted to stay here, it was fine. Annie did not force her will upon anyone.
But…
She had acted as the temporary Lord of Blue Moon Town for a while.
Ignoring the rest, the elves all liked Princess Annie very much.
It could be said that they had grown up watching this foreign princess…
She was cute, kind, pure, and a tsundere 1. She was lively and brought cheerfulness everywhere.
In short, she was a flawless princess loved by many.
Thus, when the Blackleaf Elves heard the news of her moving, they decided to leave with her.
After all,
They had not left the Blackleaf Forest. They were still Blackleaf Elves.
What about the City of Dawn?
After they started to have trade relations, some people found out that Lord William was a prince of Elfin royalty.
But bloodline would only allow you to settle down for a while.
Only Elfin royalty regarded bloodline as being very important.
Typical elves also felt that bloodline was important, but as time passed, they didn’t regard it with the same significance. Many of them yearned to be human.
Furthermore, in all those years, William had not committed any grave mistakes, right?
So did it matter where they lived?
To the elves, moving should be very normal, right?
Many of the elves had enough of living in Blue Moon Town. They were already sick of this small town, which had been built a few hundred years ago. Many elves moved houses frequently. They could not live in the same place for 100 years…
“Impossible! This can’t be true. Is this a test from Annie?”
“What do we do now, Royal highness?” Taylor’s guard walked over. They could not stop this, and they had no right to do so either.
The position of princess and the authority associated with it had been bestowed upon Annie by the Elfin king himself. Taylor was just a mere prince in comparison. He had no power to stop her.
She could go wherever she wanted to go…
Taylor still thought that this was a test from Annie. He believed that Annie still liked him. After all, elves had a long lifespan. She might be one of those that think that distance makes the heart grow fonder!
But he blamed William for all his resentment at Annie leaving.
“That son of a bitch. It was definitely him. He deserves to die.” Taylor could not help but curse. His guard stood beside him. It seemed as if he wanted to say something, but did not stop Taylor.
Luckily, Taylor knew his own status and limits. He took a deep breath and smiled coldly. “Tell the others that we are departing from here. After we return, we will tell father that William kidnapped princess Annie. And that he also used her status as princess to make all the elves in Blue Moon Town migrate to the City of Dawn.”
“You. Did you remember that?”
“Yes, Royal highness. I remember it word by word!”
“Hmm. Tell the same to other guards. Don’t get it wrong.”
Dressed in a luxurious and exquisite robe, Talyor looked at William. Who, in contrast, was clad in a suit of armor and was sitting on a horse. All the arrows and weapons that he may need were on his back.
“Look at him. Does he seem like an Elfin prince? He looks more like a knight than an actual knight does. Such a dirty bloodline should not exist in the world. Why did Alice fall in love with a human and allowed him to inherit the surname of a royal family? Such a shame.”
Taylor was too proud.
His surname was enough to represent everything. It was his source of pride.
Furthermore, his inheritance, the reputation, and the prestige of the Blackleaf Elves were enough reasons to give him the right to be proud.
Taylor stared at William.
William also looked back at him. They did not communicate. There was no need to. They could not swear and start fighting unreasonably, as it would only be an embarrassment to their identity as elves.
“The heroic deeds and legendary prestige of your ancestors is worth being proud of.”
“But being does not mean that you will rest easy forever.”
“Destruction and rebirth. That is the ending of the storyline in all the versions of Gods.”
“I, who has been reborn, am living an ignoble existence so that I can continue to live in the future. And you, what do you have? Do you think the Blackleaf Elf race is safe, just because you have such an identity?”
“Are you not relying only on the honor and legacy of your ancestors?”
“Heh heh…” William just laughed and kept silent.
Taylor led 100 guards and left, depressed. This was the Blackleaf Forest, the territory of the Blackleaf Elves. His guards did not need to carry much with them.
Furthermore, he was a middle level professional with a Legendary bloodline. He was rather powerful.
However…
There existed many NPCs with Legendary bloodlines in the legendary continent.
But more than half of them would die in the future. They would be killed by the players. As the game versions kept going forward, more and more ‘legends’ would die.
Bloodline was still only bloodline.
It did not mean the ones possessing it would become legends. If they never had the chance, they could never be!
William, who had killed at least five Legendary Bosses, definitely had the right to say so.
“Damn…” William’s eyes suddenly widened. He had seen a middle-aged Elfin mage practicing magic on a massive Moonlight Tree.
The air was fluctuating, and rich magic rippled out in all directions.
The Moonlight Tree, a few hundred meters tall, was gradually shrinking. It compressed to 100 meters, then a few dozen meters, and finally a palm-sized tree!
The mage wiped his sweat. He walked over, picked up their ‘home’, and placed it in a small box. Then, it was over…
“Space archmage?” William smacked his lips. He had uncovered something interesting.
Band Woznir.
Occupation: Space Mage
Race: Moonlight Elves
Bloodline potential: Epic
Position level: ???
Level: ???
Other attributes: ???
“This Band is interesting. He is definitely an archmage. The version limits have not been reached, but he is going to the City of Dawn. He is definitely a boss at the version limit. Who knows how far away he is from becoming an enchanter?
“No, that can’t be right. There exist people in the southeast who have surpassed the version limit. It’s just that there are very few of them. This is a remote and newly developed area. Is it possible that…”
William picked his eyebrows. With this guess, he could confirm that he did not need to panic.
Annie led 45 thousand elves to move, but they would not all come under him immediately.
They were only going to change where they lived to the City of Dawn, not their loyalty towards the its Lord.
Of course, ordinary people would also definitely not allow a huge group of outsiders to set up camp in their territory…
But William waved his long hair. He had confidence!
He would capture all these white rabbits who had run to his courtyard.
As for this sudden migration, naturally, the City of Dawn… it could not support them. But William had already come up with a plan. He would allow them to live outside the city, in the south.
William had plans for five years, ten years, and even 100 years in the future.
His final goal was to make all the mountain ranges from the north to the south his cities!
He would continuously extend and expand the City of Dawn. His plans included connecting the seas in the south with the fields in the north. Then, he would create a massive territory.
“Brother William!”
“Ah?” William turned around and saw the princess, who had suddenly appeared behind him.
“Were you serious about the 999 magical crystals?” Annie carefully went beside him and whispered in his ear.
William gulped and resolutely nodded.
After all, in his eyes, it did not matter if he gave out many crystals as their energy could not be used in large volumes. It was more beneficial for him to use them as currency, as he could not use them to increase the combat powers. And he was able to find the mere magical crystals easily.
Money that one could not spend was worthless. If he spent a large sum of money, he might be able to obtain benefits he had never imagined.
Selfish? Then why was he a Lord? How great would it be if he could guard the wealth of an aristocrat in the human nation!
Of course, his heart ached.
But Annie did not know what his thoughts were. When she smiled, her crescent moon like eyes served to make the smile even sweeter.
Executive Arthur, who was standing at the side, felt sad when he saw this. He gripped his sword tightly.
Knight and princess?
Then,
He would bootlick till the very end, until there was nothing left.
But,
It was different for a handsome prince.
