Alien world

Chapter 1108 Chapter 30. Setting foot in Wilhelm
Just as greed is revealed in every pore of a businessman, arrogance is revealed in every trembling hair of the elf.

Even the elven mercenaries who were closest to humans always acted independently. When everyone was barbecuing in front of the campfire, they would sit in the treetops in the dark, enjoying the moonlight, darkness and tranquility.

Their tribe is not divided like the dwarves, nor is it in internal strife like the orcs, but is closely centered around the World Tree.

Even though they are the darlings of the new era, humans have issued an alien order and all races are staying away from human towns. Only the elves have not bowed their heads. If you dare to kill the elves indiscriminately, they will retaliate against the human people.

Even the elves' celebrations are held with their own unique "arrogance" - they are held once every thousand years.

But this is a bit of a harsh accusation. After all, elves are immortal, and elves born and raised normally can experience more than two celebrations.

As for humans... after more than ten generations, it is possible to find an insider. But they are limited to knowing, after all, those who were invited are the top forces in the Allen Continent.

According to the bard, no one in the second row of the Holy Temple is eligible for an invitation.

Standing among these guests, Annan looked like a white dragon cub among a group of ancient dragons... But when he thought that he would soon be an ally of the Elf Royal Court, Annan straightened his chest again.

The Obilis Strait is like an inland sea, and it takes half a month to sail even to Wilhelm in the middle.

The merchant ship not only carried Annan and his companions, but also other passengers. So Annan spent the past few days either meditating in the first-class cabin or listening to the Skeleton King share stories from hundreds of years ago.

The only bright spot in the boring half month was that Annan was promoted to a seventh-level warlock late one night.

He couldn't wait to check if the magic vortex was enough to release his innate spell... The answer was that it was still not enough, and since they were on a boat and the noise was too loud, he didn't test it again.

After a few days, the merchant ship finally arrived at a place familiar to Annan - Maple Island.

I couldn't help but look up. The Rainbow City that once hung high in the sky seemed to be right above my head, and a gorgeous rainbow was drawn between the waterfalls.

Rainbow City is the kingdom of one of the Thirteen Supreme Kings, and its size is indeed comparable to that of a country.

I wonder if I’ll have the chance to go up and take a look during this trip to Wilhelm?

The ship shook slightly and docked at the Maple Island Port.

They were only halfway through their journey, and still had to cross half of Wilhelm to reach the Elf King's Court in the center.

Annan and Skeleton King can arrive quickly through the portals between cities, but the cargo on the ship can only be transported over honestly.

Annan has reserved time, so it should be ready to be delivered to the Elf King's Court after the celebration begins.

"We'll first take the ferry from Maple Island to Wilhelm's Rainbow Port, enter the portal to Humya Garden, and then walk to Aldo Forest. The elves will greet us at the entrance..."

The tall Skeleton King walked in front, and Annan followed behind, reading the route on the back of the invitation: "The elves even wrote down how to get to the Elf King's Court. It seems they are quite serious about it."

“I wrote that.”

"Oh."

Annan handed over the cargo that was still being loaded and unloaded to the officials who followed him, and they split up. He and the Skeleton King first boarded the ferry and arrived at Hongke Port after a few hours of sailing.

Rainbow City was still hanging high in the sky, and the distance didn't seem to be getting any closer.

The moment they reached the shore, Annan took a deep breath.

They were only outside of Wilhelm, but they could already feel the magical elements becoming active, even more intense than in Free City when he set out.

In this kind of environment, the chances of spellcasters being born are higher, and casting spells consumes less energy and is more powerful.

The soldiers from Hongke Port boarded the ship first and checked everyone's pass.

It would take extremely harsh conditions for outsiders to come to Wilhelm, even for people from Middle-earth.

The ferry had been checked in advance, and the soldiers soon came to Annan and Skeleton King. "Undead?!"

The inspection soldiers' faces changed drastically and they all grasped their spears.

"Open your eyes and look. The one standing before you is the smartest undead, the ruler of the kingdom of the dead, the guest of the Elf King's Court, the Skeleton King Leonefa!"

Annan jumped out like a minion, holding up the invitation letter and shouted loudly.

He had always wanted to try this, but couldn't brag about it.

The Rainbow Shell Harbor soldiers retreated in panic, bowing their heads and saying, "Please forgive us, your presence is an honor to Rainbow Shell Harbor. Is there anything we can do?"

"We are just passing through and are going to take the portal to Xumia Garden."

"plz follow me!"

The team leader handed over the task of checking the passes to his subordinates, and personally led Annan and Skeleton King off the boat and walked towards the portal in the center of the city.

A tall and ancient portal stood in the center of the square. Taking advantage of his position, the team leader took them through the long queues and fees and came straight to the portal.

Annan stepped in, and when it was Skeleton King's turn, the leader suddenly apologized: "I hope you don't mind my previous offense."

"Of course I don't mind, but I don't know if he minds." The soul fire in the Skeleton King's eyes flickered, and he pointed at Annan's back who had just walked into the portal and said, "But this boy's identity is more valuable than mine."

While the team leader was stunned, Skeleton King walked into the portal.

……

"Well..."

The moment he stepped out of the portal, Annan burped. "I feel a little dizzy."

Long-distance teleportation has this disadvantage...but they have traveled thousands of miles, so a little dizziness is nothing.

After recovering, Annan looked around.

What comes into view is the weight of civilization: every corner of the ancient city-state called Humya Garden seems to tell history, and ancient secrets may be buried under every stone slab.

The nameless statues stand quietly, entangled by vines and flowers, blurring their faces, like silent guardians. From the magnificent temples to the exquisite stone carvings, everything shows the prosperity and beauty of the city in the past.

But perhaps because his expectations were too high, Wilhelm did not give Annan the feeling of "God's Kingdom on Earth".

The streets were mostly populated by humans, followed by elves, and there were quite a few major races such as dwarves and orcs, with a similar proportion to that of Free City. However, most of the people passing by were professionals, and at a glance, there were more people wearing wizard robes than rangers carrying bows and arrows.

After figuring out the direction, Annan walked towards the Aldo Forest.

Annan, who was admiring the exotic scenery, ignored what was in front of him. Not long after he walked, a young beggar on the roadside suddenly stretched out his hand to him.

Annan withdrew his gaze, looked at the ragged beggar and the empty broken bowl, hesitantly took out a silver coin from his pocket and placed it in his hand.

"Is this enough for you to buy bread?" asked Annan, who didn't know the prices.

"That's enough for me to not have to worry about feeding for three days. Thank you..."

Annan smiled back and continued on his journey with the Skeleton King.

"There are still beggars in Wilhelm?" he asked puzzled.

“For as there are rich people, there are also poor people.”

Annan couldn't help but wonder, people outside are fighting hard to become Wilhelm people, so can these beggars be considered begging with a golden bowl?
