Chapter 1392: Chapter 910: Abyss Camp_2

"On the way, we just dealt with a demon harassment squad that didn’t know its place, which delayed us a bit, really sorry about that."

The Night Watcher Commerce Association leader heard this and chuckled twice, waved his hand cheerfully, his expression one of understanding: "This is the Abyss, my friend, demons are never truly eradicated, like wild grass, mow them down and they grow back again."

"In this hellish place, who still insists on precise punctuality? Wouldn’t that be too unfriendly? As long as you arrive safely, it’s all good!"

"Hahaha, very well said."

The Elf Captain was amused by the words, laughed heartily, affectionately threw an arm around the shoulder of the Night Watcher leader, and pulled him towards the camp, acting naturally and familiarly.

"Come on, come on, let’s not stand outside, let’s talk inside. It’s been a while since I’ve tasted your Night Watcher’s special brew, and I’ve been thinking about it. These hard days in the Abyss, are only made bearable by such thoughts."

The Night Watcher leader also laughed heartily, leading the way while humbly saying: "Special brew? The Night Watcher’s wine can hardly be considered a specialty treasure, how can it compare with the rich, fiery spirits of the Star Realm Dwarves."

"Not to mention your Elf Race’s exquisite, elegant wines brimming with natural essence, ours can only be considered to have a bit of rough charm, just good enough for unwinding."

The Elf Captain immediately stopped, turned around, with a rarely seen seriousness, shook his head earnestly, looking fiercely at the other.

"No, no, my friend, you really underestimate the good things you produce."

His tone was filled with indisputable certainty.

Night Watcher’s foodstuffs, especially various beverages, are highly popular in the resource-scarce, harsh Abyss Battlefield, this is an undeniable fact.

Those marching dry rations, not to mention their excellent taste and ample energy.

And their unique beverages, surprisingly popular.

These beverages’ original sources were mostly byproducts or failed experiments from the Alchemy Laboratory’s alchemists.

Although they couldn’t be used as real Healing Potions or enhancement potions, their unique ingredients and taste accidentally made them very suitable as daily drinks.

Then hand these cheap "potions" with certain special effects over to the Half-Elf chefs, known for their crafty skills and creativity.

Through their clever blending and refining, drinks like [Ice Brain Refreshment] emerged as leading star beverages on the battlefield.

Its cool, stimulating taste effectively counters the Whisper of Chaos Magic Power which is everywhere in the Abyss, granting warriors, who are tired from prolonged battles, a rare clarity and relaxation to their tense, buzzing nerves.

When Blood War Fortress first encountered Night Watcher supplies, they took a "try everything, sample something new" approach, purchasing all kinds of goods.

After comparisons, this [Ice Brain Refreshment] was eventually highlighted, becoming one of the key items in both parties’ trade list, with huge demand.

Of course, Night Watcher’s oddly flavored, effect-varied drinks are also quite popular.

Especially for those veterans who are long tired of their own or dwarf’s monotonous, unchanged tastes, this sense of novelty and unique experience itself is a huge attraction.

"However," the Elf Captain shifted the topic, with a long-held curiosity on his face, he again put an arm around the Night Watcher leader’s shoulder, while walking towards the tent, asked.

"There’s something I’ve always been quite puzzled about. Why do you Night Watchers usually refer to us as ’Star Realm Dwarves’, ’Star Realm Elves’, with such a broad prefix of ’Star Realm’?"

"Usually, to differentiate between us, we would use more specific designations, like Melted Fire Dwarves, Black Rock Dwarves, Green Elves, and Moon Stream Elves. Directly tagging ’Star Realm’ as such a big name seems a bit... um... general and weird."

The Night Watcher leader seemed visibly stunned at these words, he stopped walking and somewhat unexpectedly asked back.

"You haven’t noticed within Night Watchers, there’s also a group referred to as ’Elves’? They’re active within the fortress."

"I noticed."

The Elf Captain shrugged indifferently, casually lifting the tent curtain: "What’s strange about that?"

His tone was matter-of-fact.

"The Star Realm is vast and boundless, the Elf race’s branches have long been spread all over like stars, that’s common knowledge in the Star Realm."

"Between different worlds, or even between different elf groups within the same world, disagreements or resource-based hostilities leading to no contact until death are not uncommon, having an internal elf branch among Night Watchers is really not surprising."

The Night Watcher leader followed him into the tent, sat down next to the simple wooden table, signaling his assistant to pour wine, while patiently explaining.

"Because they are not from any known elf group of the Star Realm."

"They are indigenous races born in our world, sharing origin with us, only their appearance, size, and some talent habits are highly similar to your Star Realm Elves, and they also possess traits like elves’ agility and affinity to Natural Energy."

However," he emphasized, "if you carefully research bloodline pedigrees and deep origins, there is a huge difference, completely different race origin trees."

"Thus, to clearly differentiate in both internal and external communications, we summarize the other elf and dwarf groups from the Star Realm, like you who are significantly different from our indigenous ’elves’, as ’Star Realm Elves’ and ’Star Realm Dwarves.’
