"Hoh~ now that's interesting," Nikol looked at Nym who had no idea what was happening since she was talking with other girls.
Nikol looked at the eldest one among the group expecting her full support since he wanted to meet some adults to discuss his future plans with.
"What's your name?" She looked at Nikol like she was observing him for a few seconds before answering his question.
"Susu, my name is susu,"
"So susu, can you take me to meet your mother? I want to discuss something with her," Nikol thought she was a middle schooler but at that time he didn't know she was a lot more older than him.
Since elves had double of human life span they lived about 250 years unlike humans, they didn't have a stage where they looked like older people for some reason.
"Why?" Seeing he wasn't trying to harm them she felt like believing Nikol but still, she was cautious. She looked at her other friends only to find them happily playing with humans.
"We want to discuss about these dark elves, they are a danger to all of us so we thought about helping each other would make things easier," Susu thought about Nikol's words for a few minutes.
"I will take you, a lot of my friends have gone missing because of them,"
*Sob
Susu had some tears coming out from her eyes remembering her friends.
"I hate dark elves, why did they take Nera? She was my best friend," Nikol didn't know who she was talking about but it was rather easy to see the pain in this girl's eyes.
"Don't cry, Susu, we will definitely find your friend and end this dark elf terror," Hearing Nikol's words, Susu felt like her hopes blooming like a beautiful flower inside her mind.
"You promise?"
Nikol patted her head in a friendly manner,
"I promise,"
Right after they finished talking, Nym and others also came to see why Susu was crying. They expected to see something dramatic but unexpectedly she had a faint smile on her face.
"Follow me! I will take you to our kingdom," She said happily while holding Nikol's hand.
Lydia, Alva and Emily also followed them while Susu explained a lot of things that benefited Nym. She had some knowledge about plants as well so Nym didn't forget to take notes.
"Susu, how old are you?" Curious, Nikol decided to ask. He guessed she must be at least fourteen compared to her body but Nikol was even more surprised when she answered his question.
"I'm 29," Even Alva and Lydia were surprised by her words.
"Impossible! with that flat chest-" Nikol couldn't finish his sentence as he felt a jab in his stomach.
"Did you say something?" Susu had a dangerous look in her eyes. Nikol expected Lydia and his group to help him but unexpectedly they looked at him while laughing.
"Serves you right, don't you know that boobs are something insecure for every woman," Lydia said while showing her own huge boobs.
"Wait! I thought having small boobs was a compliment in this place," Nikol was confused about it but hearing his words even Lydia and others felt something was wrong.
"What are you talking about? Bigger boobs are better and more beautiful we all know it," Her words made sense to Nikol since he thought exactly the same but still he was curious about how things are so different in the elf race.
"Every queen in our race had huge boobs, they are the symbol of prosperity and success," Susu said as she looked at Nikol with sad eyes seeing his chest.
"Don't worry, we won't discriminate against small ones it's just we prefer big ones," Susu said while giving Nikol a thumbs up.
He knew she misunderstood something but he had more important things to discuss right now as he remembered his previous words.
"It's crazy when you say you're 29, even Nym here is 26," Susu looked at Nym with surprised eyes. Since she had no idea about humans she didn't know that humans were short-lived beings unlike them.
"I'm not lying, None of us here is below 20," Nikol felt a headache but suddenly he remembered how elves were depicted in the story books in his previous words. So to be careful he decided to ask about their lifespan.
"Ummh, Elves live around 250 to 300 years, why do you ask such a strange question?" Susu didn't understand the importance of this but everyone else around her knew it was the main difference between them.
"That's why, so basically you live more than two third of our life span," Hearing Lydia's words, Susu showed a confused face since she didn't understand what she said.
They kept walking through the forest without stopping. Susu guided them since she knew where she was going but Nikol was pretty sure that if they didn't meet Susu and her friends, they wouldn't be able to find this place as it was so deep in the forest.
"Forest ghost! Catch me if you can," While spanking Nym's butt elf kids started to play around her.
Everyone was surprised by how quickly they became friends since they refused to even talk with others at some point.
Since Susu was brave she talked with Nikol and the group but the other kids were so shy and innocent that even if someone tried to call them they would hide behind Susu or Nym.
"I'm sorry, they are always like that, I think they are friends with forest ghost because her presence feels familiar," Susu said while crawling through a huge bush.
Nikol and the others smiled wryly as they wanted to be friends with these kids but they decided to forget it as things were hectic.
After walking for a few minutes, Nikol felt the whole atmosphere of the area changing like they entered some kind of a bubble where the air was so pure.
"This is-" In front of them was a jaw-dropping spectacle. Even Nikol who was a modern man felt more impressed by the spectacle in front of him as he quickly looked at Susu with sparkling eyes.
"Susu, this is-" He asked while pointing at the huge wall of trees in front of them.
Most of these trees were tall as twice of coconut trees, they had a width twice the normal size of a tree.
The appearance and colour looked more majestic than anything Nikol had seen in his entire life. The tree itself looked like it was alive by its colour.
"This is our eleven walls," Putting her chest forward with pride, she said.
"My goddess, this is like a miracle," Lydia said.
Nym felt a familiar sensation from the wall as she got close to it without even knowing she was walking. She felt comfortable like an embrace of a mother and happy as she felt that she found something they lost that is valuable than her life.
She started walking in the direction of the wall under everyone's gaze.
Nikol and Lydia were confused but they quickly tried to hold her as they didn't want her to be far away from them.
"Where are you going, Nym?" After hearing Nikol's question only she broke out of her stupor as she looked at everything with a confused look.
"That wall! It feels so familiar to me," Others couldn't understand what she was talking about but Nikol felt something was wrong.
Susu felt familiar with Nym and now she feels the same thing toward these walls.
"Susu, can we enter? I don't see a door," Handing over Nym to Alva and Emily, Nikol decided to talk with someone in authority to finish this matter as he didn't want to delay anything.
"There's no door, we will only be able to enter if our queen allows us, so you will have to ask permission from outside," Her words caught Nikol's interest as he was excited to see what this Queen looked like.
Susu grabbed Nikol's hand as she started to walk toward the wall dragging him. Others also followed them as they had no idea what to do.
"We came-" Susu couldn't finish her words as suddenly trees started to move without making any noises.
It was weird to see these heavy and strong trees moving like rubber but nevertheless, Nikol was impressed by this event in front of him which felt more like fantasy.
"Unhand them! Scoundrel,"
"We will shoot if you don't unhand them,"
They heard a female voice which sounded arrogant and prideful. They didn't even take a minute to form a circle around Nikol and his group as they aimed their bows at them.
Lydia felt conflicted seem so many weapons aimed at them. She quickly got in front of Nikol as she didn't want anything happening to him.
Alva and Emily did the same as they covered his remaining side acting as shields.
"I won't say it again, remove your hands from Susu and drop your weapons," Nikol looked at the owner of this voice through the gaps to see what she looked like only to be surprised.
