Chapter 222: Welcome to the Redhill Peaks, My Lord! (1) unedited

The land where the supposed administration building is currently crowded with orcs and moon elves, and all their eyes are glued to the glowing platform on the ground.

"Wow, is this the Transportation Circle the Moon Elf Lord was preparing for? It’s outstanding. As expected of the Moon Elf Lord!" one of the elders present blurted out.

Everyone is silently nodding their head. In their mind, they are singing praises to the Moon Elf Lord. It was because of the active efforts of their ruler that their knowledge broadened. Magic Circle? Spells? All these things are foreign to them. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they are ignorant.

The Moon Elf Lord is right. They needed to raise their awareness about the world outside the wide Amber Forest— or, better yet, the perilous Immortal’s Glade.

Slowly and at a stable pace, the ideas that Luis planted in the minds of his subordinates are sprouting. Give it some more time, and the reclusive moon elves will be as good as the humans of the modern earth where he came from.

"Make way for the Moon Elf Lord!" Koniel, the head priest’s assistant, loudly said. In an instant, the crowd parted.

"Woah, did Moses drop by and raise his hand? You guys parted like the Red Sea!" Luis joked upon seeing it. His subordinates and a big ass serpentine dragon followed his every step.

It was an overwhelming sight that left most of the bystanders gaping. But what really caught the people’s attention was the Moon Elf Lord’s get-up. Luis is wearing a white button-down shirt paired with a leather vest and jeans made from the Black Obsidian Lizard, a three-star beast that resides in the mountain peak near the former settlement of the Lune Clan. Xagrien once hunted it and proceeded to forget its existence.

Luis just happened to find it sitting around his belongings three days ago. He found the black and glossy leather beautiful and shamelessly asked for it. Xagrien is his simp, so it is as easy as spelling the word sex to gain the man’s approval.

Therefore, Luis’ fashion for today is sexy and edgy.

He even tied his long black hair into a man bun to match the look.

"Wow! The Moon Elf Lord looked different! He looked kind of... bad?"

Luis’ perpetual smile turned stiff. "Yes?" He looked at the young warrior who spoke, and the male moon elf also seemed shocked by the word that came out of his mouth.

Olyn, who is already in a rather sensitive mood since he is not going with the Moon Elf Lord to the Redhill territory because Luis decided that Olyn should focus on training, found someone to whom he could vent. "How dare you call Our Lord ugly, young man! Explain yourself!"

Luis felt as if two rocks fell directly to his head and voicelessly told in his mind, "Olyn, he didn’t call me ugly! Get your facts right. My old wounds are opening up!"

The young moon elf warrior panicked and tried his best to explain, "I- My Lord, that is not what I meant. You looked perfect, as always. However, it differs from your usual, uhmm, delicate style, My Lord. You look..."

The young man is obviously pressured. It is apparent in his complexion and the waterfalls of cold sweat on his face. He lacks words in his vocabulary.

Luis nodded to show that he understood. "It’s okay. I understand now. You meant I look strong and tough because of my clothes, right? I am like a badass bearer who could throw strong male warriors on the ground."

"Badass! That is a perfect term, My Lord!" The young man excitedly said in order to hide his sigh of relief.

Luis laughed at the young man’s silly reaction. "That’s great— eh?"

The rest of his words faded when a tall figure of a man towered in between him and the innocent young man.

"Baby," Xagrien said in a tone as solid as a crushing boulder. "The Mana Stone will run out of mana if we keep on stalling the time. Let’s go." Right after that, Xagrien held him at his waist and guided Luis towards the platform.

But no matter how casually Xagrien acted, Luis was already shaken by what he heard from his hottie. "Baby?"

It was natural to hear that when they were alone, but in public? Luis suspects that it will cause a mass heart attack on his subordinates. Well, that is an exaggeration, but that is not far from the reality.

"Baby?!" The innocent crowd who was forcibly fed with dog food all said in chorus. They are all dumbfounded because nothing about the Moon Elf Lord looks like he is an infant!

Legland and Nicol avoided the gaze of anyone with eyes. This situation is something that they cannot explain. It is impossible for them to take charge because even those who know the Moon Elf Lord best know nothing.

Olyn, on the other hand, was also helpless since he didn’t understand the incredulity of Xagrien’s words. For him, the Moon Elf Lord is someone he is committed to supporting and caring for, like a baby.

Luis wanted to explain further to brush off his subordinates’ incredulous looks. However, Xagrien’s grip on his waist was comparable to a metal wrench.

All he could do was look at Xagrien’s side profile, and his unassuming eyes caught something suspicious. "This brute’s pointy ears are red... Holy shit!" he exclaimed deep inside.

He cannot stop his heart from doing somersaults, but he did his best to hide it with a bright smile.."Oh gosh, Xagrien. I don’t know what I should do with you."

Xagrien deadpanned, "Don’t do anything. Let’s just go to the Redhill territory. The steel and the rewards of the metal clans are waiting for you, My Lord."

It was evident that Xagrien was just giving out random reasons to avoid the topic. Luis decided to indulge the man just this once, so he turned on his business-like attitude and called out the subordinates who would escort him. The number was relatively small despite the strong suggestion of his subordinates to at least send one squad of sentinel.

Luis only intended to stay there for a short time, and the travel time was shortened to an unbelievable duration, so he didn’t need an army. Besides, the majority of the people accompanying him are overpowered.

Legland, Sibal, Denzel, Xerxes and Baku, his serpentine dragon. Aside from Xagrien, these four would stand on the Transportation Circle.

"Do not be too stiff. The Transportation Circle is a safe mode of transportation. Even a pregnant bearer like me could use it," Luis said to Leglan, Sibal, and Denzel, who showed small indications of nervousness.

"Understood, My Lord!" They all responded in chorus.

Xerxes and Xagrien are busy tuning the coordinates using their magic powers. After a while, the magic circle shone a bright blue light, indicating everything was all set. That was their cue, and all of them stood in the magic circle.

Given that Xerxes is the one who is more experienced in manipulating Transportation Circle, he is the one who activated it. The light of the magic circle slowly covered them from their feet up. However, before they are completely covered by it, Xerxes said one last reminder— or more like a warning.

"Moon Elf Lord, I advise you to hold on to Xagrien’s arm firmly. Doing long-distance transportation for the first time is a bit nauseating."

"Yah! Why are you saying that just now?!" Luis roared, and that was the last thing that was heard from the Moon Elf Lord before they were completely swallowed by light. Once Luis opened his eyes, a sight that is completely different from the Amber Forest welcomed him.
