Capítulo 2715: Chapter 1491: Questioning and Surprise (Part 2)
“Being able to satisfy Your Excellency is my honor.”
Leo Ray gently raised his eyebrow and responded with a smile: “If Your Excellency has nothing else, I would always entertain you.”
“You sly fellow, you actually want an extra bodyguard, don’t you?”
The pink hooded person crossed their arms, showing some desire for the food, but ultimately shook their head and said: “Unfortunately, it’s impossible. I’ve been trapped here for so long, and I still have an important thing to complete, which is why I passed through this place.”
Hearing the other’s refusal, Leo Ray felt somewhat regretful, but his face inevitably showed a hint of curiosity.
This guy stands as a powerful figure at the peak of the Ten Thousand Clans in the Forest Elf Race, with considerable strength and background. He should hold a certain status within the tribe, so why would such a formidable figure come to the domain of a third-class force?
“By the way, aren’t you the Emperor of the Human Race? Speaking of which, the matter I need to deal with, perhaps you can help me with it!”
The pink hooded person’s starry eyes lit up, blurting out.
“You mean, Your Excellency’s matter is related to the Human Domain?”
Hearing this, Leo Ray’s curiosity deepened, and he was even more surprised.
“That’s right, I want to inquire about a person from you. She should be leading her people and settling in the Human Domain.”
The pink hooded person nodded slightly, inquiring: “Human young man, have you heard of the name Jasper Richardson? Even if you don’t know her, do you know the Moonwhite Tribe? Oh, they are all Half-Elves! Forest Half-Elves!”
Hearing the other’s words, Leo Ray couldn’t help but pause.
Whether it’s Jasper Richardson or the Moonwhite Tribe, he is naturally very familiar with them, as they are his most loyal subordinates and the subjugated tribe!
“Even you don’t know? After all, Jasper Richardson fled with her tribesmen, and it’s quite normal for them to hide.”
The pink hooded person clearly didn’t understand Leo Ray’s expression, shaking their head helplessly and said: “Never mind, I’ll go and search for her myself. There’s something I must hand to her personally.”
“Your Excellency, I think it won’t be that troublesome.”
Leo Ray smiled faintly, informing the other that Jasper Richardson is his most important and capable subordinate, and likewise, the Moonwhite Tribe has done a lot of meritorious work.
The other showed no hostility, plus their previous cooperation in battle, so Leo Ray felt no need to conceal the truth.
“Human young man, you actually took in my disciple and her entire tribe into your ranks?”
The pink hooded person widened her starry eyes, looking completely incredulous.
“What? Jasper Richardson is actually your disciple?”
This time, it was Leo Ray’s turn to be astonished.
Thinking carefully, both this guy and Jasper Richardson are rare Space Magic Mages, and one is a Forest Elf, the other a Forest Half-Elf, which does have some connection, but Leo Ray hadn’t thought the connection would be so close.
No wonder he’d been feeling the guy’s spells seemed familiar; they were the very source of Jasper Richardson’s magic.
Come to think of it, this fellow appears extremely young, much younger than the mature Jasper Richardson. It’s truly hard to imagine that Jasper Richardson is actually this person’s disciple.
However, the lifespan of the Elf Tribe is famously lengthy, far exceeding that of Half-Elves, let alone humans, so in this sense, everything makes sense.
“That’s right, I am indeed Jasper Richardson’s mentor, but an incompetent one.”
The pink hooded person’s starry eyes dimmed, speaking with a lowered voice: “Human young man, since you are Jasper Richardson’s master, you should be aware of her plight, right?”
“Of course, I do not forget.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly, and his expression turned serious.
Back then, Jasper Richardson and the Moonwhite Tribe were originally subordinates of some branch of the Forest Elf Race. However, one day they were betrayed by the latter, forcing Jasper Richardson to exert all her effort to bring her remaining clansmen and flee their original homeland, wandering through many lands until finally arriving at the Human Domain.
“For the majority of the Elf Tribe, Half-Elves are symbols of impurity and disgrace, even lesser than slaves, after all, the Elf Tribe is an existence standing at the peak of the Ten Thousand Clans, while humans are…”
The pink hooded person’s sentence remained unfinished, yet its implications were clear.
She cleared her throat slightly, then smiled awkwardly: “Human young man, I have no intention of looking down on you, after all, not all Elves think this way, just like me, otherwise I wouldn’t have taken Jasper Richardson as my disciple back then.”
“Especially after meeting you, I was surprised to discover that humans are far from as weak and incapable as we imagined, at least capable of standing their ground in the Outer Region.”
Hearing the other’s words, Leo Ray waved his hand, smiling: “Your Excellency need not explain. To humans today, the Elf Tribe is still an unattainable existence, but this won’t halt our steps forward. Humans once stood at the peak of the Ten Thousand Clans during the Silver Moon Era, and perhaps might reach that stage again in the future.”
“I didn’t expect your aspirations to be so lofty; indeed, it makes me see you in a new light.”
Although only out of politeness, the pink hooded person still complimented Leo Ray.
Afterward, the pink hooded person’s starry eyes grew misty, clearly caught in a reverie.
“Back then, I was extremely shocked upon hearing the news of Jasper Richardson and the Moonwhite Tribe being attacked. Although the Forest Elf Kingdom I belong to wasn’t the one attacking Jasper Richardson, nor do we have the authority to interfere with the other’s decision, Jasper Richardson is nevertheless my disciple, and the tribesmen of the Moonwhite Tribe treated me well, therefore I hurried to the scene, only to find the place a blazing ruin.”
“Helplessly, I tried my best to express my dissatisfaction to the opposing side, but the kingdom I belonged to had close ties with them, naturally they wouldn’t break ties over this, so I had to let it go.”
“Yet I didn’t give up, and after a series of investigations, I finally discovered that Jasper Richardson was still alive.”
“However, just as I was preparing to search for her, the tribe underwent a major upheaval, even implicating my family, and helplessly I had to delay my journey.”
“During this time, I continued my investigation into Jasper Richardson’s whereabouts, until a hundred years ago I unexpectedly received her letter, learning she eventually settled in the Human Domain.”
“Jasper Richardson stated in the letter to assure me, thus didn’t disclose her specific address and urged me not to seek her out, yet though we were teacher and student, more importantly we were as close as birth sisters, how could I truly allow her to face it all alone?”
“So, after settling all matters within the tribe, I embarked on the journey to the Human Domain, yet didn’t expect to be trapped here for so long until meeting you in the spatial seam.”
After listening to the other’s detailed explanation, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.
From the pink hooded person’s words, combined with Jasper Richardson’s previous description, he deduced.
The timeline when Jasper Richardson sent out the information should be right before her attempt to advance to Tier 6, which ultimately failed, but it led to severed communication with the pink hooded person, only until he subdued the Moonwhite Tribe, finally bringing Jasper Richardson back through the Tears of the Elves.
“Rest assured, Your Excellency, Jasper Richardson is doing well now, and she is in the process of advancing to Tier 6, so she temporarily can’t meet with you.”
Organizing everything in his mind, Leo Ray nodded towards the pink hooded person.
“After all this talk, it seems I still have to stay here for a while, huh.”
The pink hooded person pouted, then placed her hands on her hips: “Oh well, after all, the food here is so delicious, and the carpets and other things you owe me haven’t been returned!”
Despite the reluctant tone on her lips, Leo Ray could clearly see the joy spreading across her fair face, evidently surprised to learn that Jasper Richardson was right there with him.
“Human young man, has Jasper Richardson upheld my reputation well? After all, I am one of those who obtained the Space Art from the Ancient Elves!”
The pink hooded person, filled with joy, puffed out her chest.
Just as Leo Ray was about to respond to her, an unexpected message arrived.
