Chapter 560 An Uncomfortable Meeting

As soon as Andre said that, Rorschach guessed who it was.

Sure enough, it was a half-elf with short light blonde hair, and her whole body could turn into a single color of Hill in the sunlight.

"Long time no see." Rorschach greeted tentatively.

She was not the only elf who wanted to see him, and the composition of the team was very special, including gray elves. They were originally sitting in the reception room, but when Rorschach walked in, they all stood up and looked at Hill.

The half-elf ranger was not used to such occasions, perhaps because she was not used to the gazes cast by her own kind. She cleared her throat slightly before speaking: "Yeah."

The two of them just stood at the door of the reception room, looking at each other in silence. The atmosphere suddenly froze, and the older elves behind them seemed to be about to collapse and hold their foreheads.

Fortunately, Andre came in with tea, and immediately everyone found something to do: "Drink tea, drink tea!"

Hill took the teacup and thanked him. He was stunned for a moment when he smelled the scent of grass roots: "I haven't had this for a long time."

"Miss Hill's family used to drink tea often, right?" Rorschach remembered that Dryarts had said that her bloodline was quite powerful.

The pale blond head nodded up and down: "Well, my home was gone a long time ago."

"." I'm just saying something along your lines. There's no need to kill the conversation, right? Rorschach almost spit out the mud-smelling "tea". He found that Hill, who was already silent, was even more difficult to communicate with. It would be better for them to cooperate in battle and work together in harmony.

It was difficult for Hill to say the following words: "Well, I came here today to ask for your help, Rorschach."

Rorschach raised his eyebrows: "Is this your personal request?"

"Yes, but it has a lot to do with me." The more Hill spoke, the more confused Rorschach became. The elf elder behind her sighed and said, "Let me tell you."

He bowed deeply, and Rorschach quickly used the [Mage's Hand] to prop up Old Deng. If he sprained his waist here, who would be responsible?
The elf elder said, "Great Master Luosha, congratulations on your promotion. Princess Hill told us that she had the honor of meeting you. We were very surprised and specially presented you with a gift."

"Don't call me that outside." Hill didn't want to accept the so-called "princess", but that didn't stop her from taking out the gift: "Here."

Rorschach felt that the word "give" would make the elder angry to death, so he quickly took it. Well, it was an exquisite wooden mask, painted and inlaid with gold thread, not to mention it was quite exotic.

But then again, when did he get promoted? Isn't it a bit late now? "Old man, please open the window and explain something!"

Seeing that Rorschach was a little impatient, the elves finished their words quickly.

It turned out that the elves knew about the starship plan. This was not surprising. From the beginning of the construction of the entity, absolute secrecy was impossible, not to mention that long-eared and dwarf engineers participated in the construction of the aviation center in Byrne.

The demands of these people are simple: they hope that they can also send the elves to the star realm.

An elder who was obviously a gray elf came forward to explain, and he seemed to have come from the island of El: “Not only have the adults noticed the Mother Goddess’s activities, but since the incident in Istani, the situation of the gray elves has improved a lot. We already know this, and thank you for your help behind the scenes.

"But in the process of fighting against the Istani royal family, we found that many of our compatriots had gone astray and triggered terrible forces." The gray elf still had a lingering fear in his face when he recalled the past:

"To this day we must carefully discern whether the power the priests invoke comes from Dryads or from Danu and his offspring, the Mother Goddess and her children.
"We heard that you and other masters are preparing for the coming disaster, and we also want to contribute."

To put it bluntly, the elves thought that the human wizard was a spaceship faction, ready to make a profit, and hurried to get a ticket. Rorschach did not express his opinion immediately, but scanned all the elves who came to visit. Some of them looked similar to Hill, and some were obviously from El Island: "I want to know, which ethnic group do you represent?"

Hill finally stood up and took the initiative to speak: "You can say that we represent the entire elf race. We are also a declining population group. We are even forcing the title of princess on a half-blood."

The hybrid of course refers to Hill herself. She is the descendant of the Elf King and Forest God Sylvanos, which Rorschach also knows.

"I know this is just a one-sided request. What the elves can give you now is insignificant and not equal to what we are asking for.

"But I'm asking you for the sake of my people. My ancestors have already abandoned his people. Now I carry his blood, and I can only try to atone for his sins."

How can we help? Maybe the elves who used to be the "Royal Army" have some industries in Istani. Due to the long-term "lack of virtue" of the Istani royal family, there is no decent industry in El Island.

So if Rorschach asks, it won't just be a matter of giving them technology, but at least building them a big starship?

Is this the Rorschach Ark? No, it should be the Eldar Ark. Do you want a special edition to put all your ancestors' spirits in it? Yes, there is similar technology in your tribe's holy land.
Just as Rorschach was thinking about when to enter the 40K world line, Andre, who had been drinking tea, couldn't help but whispered using [Communication]:
"Teacher, please don't be blinded by the elf sister."

It’s not about whether you can speak or not. We have always had a pure comradeship and the time was very short.

"Let the fart go."

".There is also a dwarf delegation seeking to see you. I think their demands are similar. I suggest you contact the dwarves before making a decision."

"Makes sense."

Seeing that Rorschach had been drinking the mud-flavored "tea" with his eyes closed, the elf elder became anxious: "Lord Rorschach, if you can give us the elves a chance, we will be very grateful and willing to share with you the knowledge passed down by our ancestors, as well as..."

Old Deng pushed Hill: "And the personal friendship of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

We were originally friends for life, but it feels like it has changed after you said that, Old Deng! Rorschach was already unhappy to see Hill's embarrassed face, and most importantly, he felt that the elves should not have any hard goods to trade.

As someone who had been a materialistic warrior in his previous life, Rorschach never believed in the idea that "the older the better". Logically, if the elves were really powerful, they would not have ended up in this situation today, being beaten by dwarves and humans in turn and having no place to stay until now.

Even if there was something, it should have been absorbed by the Forest Tower, and the rest was just dregs in the eyes of the ancient sages.

After thinking about this, Rorschach stood up and said: "The starship project is the result of the concerted efforts of the magic guild. Whether it is technology or the seats on the starship, I don't have the final say alone.

"I understand your thoughts. Please wait for me to discuss with other elders of the Arcane. Andre, please arrange for the guests to rest. Miss Hill, if you are interested, you can ask Andre to take you to visit various places."

Hill breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Rorschach's arrangement, and it was unclear whether he was relieved or had some other meaning.

Andre himself happily accepted the job, and he was obviously happy that his teacher was not led by the elf princess.

"Sir, it was the guild that asked us to look for you, Lord Rorschach." Feeling what it meant to be "passing the buck", the elf elder sighed at Rorschach's departing back.
