Chapter 134 The legend of the Elf King, a taboo that cannot be touched.
"Oh, I didn't expect that there are still people who dare to catch elves these days!"
Irene raised the corners of her mouth in a meaningful smile.
Since the birth of the Elf King, there have been people who have challenged his authority.
But their end was undoubtedly a miserable death.
Nowadays, all races tacitly prohibit hunting elves, not out of respect for the Elf King.
There were supposed to be four human kingdoms on this continent, but now there are only three left.
And the fourth kingdom disappeared overnight.
And on the collapsed land, a chasm like an abyss was carved.
"Whoever offends our elves will be killed!"
The poet who sings the hymns that are passed down.
Everything explains that person's fear.
Legend has it that it is a being more terrifying than the devil.
Legend has it that his appearance can cause gods to fall to earth.
Legend has it that he was the incarnation sent down by the Mother Goddess of Life out of pity for the elves' plight.
But, these are just speculations.
Over the past few hundred years, no one has ever seen his appearance.
And now, there are actually people who dare to hunt elves.
Is it ignorance, or - suddenly Irene remembered a rumor circulating in their circle, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.
Could it be that the rumor is true?
Thinking of this, Irene controlled the magic line, accelerated its contraction, and quickly moved away.
Whether it was true or false, she didn't dare to take any chances.
She didn't want to trigger that person's anger.
Although, she was very curious and cared.
But, it's such a big thing.
But there are many people who are interested and take action for it.
She just needs to wait patiently.
Just fine.
It’s just that—Irene looked in the direction they were chasing.
I couldn't help but worry about them.
That's not a good direction!
Although she thought so, Irene did not step forward and tell them her thoughts.
Her most important task at this moment was to tell the princess the news she had seen today as soon as possible.
The princess will be very happy.
The rest is not up to her.
"That is?!"
One of the big men became nervous instantly when he saw Irene flash by.
After all, what they are doing now cannot be seen by anyone!
"Brother, what should we do?"
The other brothers looked at each other, fear and worry in their eyes.
They all knew that if this matter was exposed.
Not only will they be in danger themselves, but their families will also be implicated.
"Separate and chase?"
One of the younger brothers suggested.
"Kill the woman you saw as well to prevent future troubles."
However, the big man shook his head, with a fierce look in his eyes:
"No, let's go after the elf first! As for that woman, we'll go after her after we catch the elf."
He paused, glanced at everyone, and warned in a serious tone:
"The fact that we captured the elves must not be leaked out."
“Otherwise, not only us but also our families will be implicated.”
"Did you hear that clearly?"
"Listen clearly!"
The younger brothers answered in unison, with determination in their voices.
However, some of the new brothers still didn't understand why the big brother was so nervous, and one of them couldn't help asking:
"Brother, why is this?"
The big man glared at the man and angrily said:
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask! You just need to follow my instructions. If you don't want to die, shut up!" Damn it,
If he wasn't short of money, he wouldn't want to touch the elf even though the other party gave him so much.
He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
Then he led his younger brothers to quickly chase after the elf.
While traveling through the dense forest, the big man couldn't help but recall the days a thousand years ago.
At that time, the Elf King had not yet been born.
The beauty and mystery of the elves attract the attention of countless people.
In major auction houses, elf slaves can often be sold at sky-high prices.
There is even a kingdom that has laws specifically for hunting and enslaving elves.
However, that was a thousand years ago.
Without thinking too much, the big man led his younger brothers and quickly caught up with the elf and surrounded it.
The one trapped in the center was a slender elf girl named Rias.
She was dressed in emerald green clothes and her long hair flowed like a waterfall.
"You, you guys are not afraid of His Majesty the Elf King?"
Rias looked at the approaching man and took a step back, a look of horror on her face.
The team that was originally organized to retrieve Her Highness Victoria is now left with only her.
Lord Rimuru, I don’t know where to go.
Originally, she planned to go back to the Elf Kingdom, inform Her Royal Highness the Elf Princess of the matter, and tell her what Rimuru had done, and let her make the decision.
I didn't expect that these humans, who knows what they ate, actually wanted to catch her? !
Aren’t these people afraid of the king?
"Hahahaha!"
Hearing Rias' words, the leading man grinned.
"Don't worry, no one will know that you were caught by us."
His words were full of confidence and arrogance.
Rias' heart sank to the bottom. She bit her lower lip tightly, trying not to look so weak.
She tried to intimidate these humans with words.
But the big man didn't care at all. Instead, he chuckled and interrupted her.
"Oh, you said that the elf Rias died unexpectedly in the battle against the goblin nest? How about this plot?"
The big man looked at Rias teasingly, as if he was looking at a lamb about to be slaughtered.
Rias glared at him angrily and said in a trembling but firm voice:
"Do you think you can deceive His Majesty the Elf King like this? I tell you, if you dare to touch me, an elf..."
However, before she could finish her words, the big man slapped her hard in the face.
The palm was so powerful that Rias was knocked to the ground instantly.
She covered her cheeks and looked helplessly at the humans who were slowly approaching.
"Lori, let's go!"
The big man cursed, his eyes full of impatience.
He waved his hand to signal his younger brothers to come forward, while he stood aside and watched coldly.
The younger brothers smiled obscenely, their eyes wandering up and down Rias' body.
Their eyes were full of desire and greed, as if they wanted to eat this beautiful elf alive.
"Brother, this elf is pretty good looking!"
One of the younger brothers licked his lips and smiled lasciviously.
The big man glanced at him and snorted coldly:
"Nonsense! This is an elf! Are there any ugly elves?"
"Hahaha"
Being scolded by his elder brother, the younger brother was not angry at all, and his eyes were full of desire when he looked at Rias.
"Brother, you said those people only wanted living elves."
"Brother, you said those people only wanted living elves."
"This is not"
As he spoke, the younger brother licked the corner of his mouth and revealed a lewd smile.
"Let everyone enjoy it first?"
"You're crazy, this is an elf"
Before the big man could say anything, another younger brother spoke in surprise.
"You're crazy, this is an elf!"
One of the younger brothers couldn't help but exclaim, his voice full of fear.
