Chapter 886 - Family Matters
Chapter 886
(Unedited)
…
Shin Jiao and his group arrive in the flying ship and have seen the line of strange carriages and the large birds pulling them.
The elves that saw their group showed a hint of confusion and astonishment upon seeing the mechanical creature they are riding one and is pulling the carriage behind them.
They enter the checkpoint building and immediately saw the two separate groups of people. The other side is a group of elves, while the other side is his group. Shin Jiao could not help but show a hint of confusion and could feel that the atmosphere between these two groups seems heavy.
"What is happening here?" he said to break that heavy atmosphere.
When the two groups heard his words, they were all taken aback. Then Shin Jiao subconsciously released his pressure which made everyone feel a bit heavy.
The elves immediately knew that this human must be the leader of the group.
The 3rd elder immediately stood up and then walked in front of Shin Jiao.
"I am the 3rd elder of the El'fore family of the elven kingdom… How may I address the great master?"
Hearing the 3rd elder's words, the rest of the elves were a bit stunned. The 3rd elder is a GrandMagus, how could he lower himself in front of a human if this human is just a simple one? And from that pressure alone, they could already tell that the human has the ability and power to warrant such respect.
"I am Shin Jiao… I am the leader of this group…" Shin Jiao said as he pointed towards Axle Long and the others behind him.
Shin Jiao was a bit surprised that Axle and the others who came from the immortal land did not show any animosity against the elves. It seems that they have already understood that the elves in this world are not like those in the immortal land.
But from what he could see, their proud nature is still present even in this world, along with their beauty and finesse.
Then Shin Jiao's eyes noticed a tall young man standing beside Loom while holding her hand tightly.
He seems to remember that on earth, those tall basketball players standing beside their partner, making the woman look really short.
"Ah… So you are the one who helped the dwarves…" the 3rd elder said with a sense of enlightenment in his eyes.
He remembers the dwarven king telling them of that name before.
"Loom… what is happening here?" Shin Jiao shifted his attention towards Loom.
Loom was a bit hesitant and then shakes the hands Olley as she walks towards Shin Jiao.
Olley felt a bit reluctant to let her go, but he still respected Loom and let her walk to the guy.
"Master Shin… He… He is Olley… Olley El'fore. He is…"
"No! I do not agree with your union!" suddenly a tall elven woman shouted.
Her movement was calm but rage could be seen on her beautiful face. She suddenly walked beside Olley and then held his hand.
"Son… I know that mother is somewhat forceful of your marriage. But you… you cannot be engaged or marry a Halfling." She said with a tone pleading.
"How dare you! What is wrong with my daughter?" Warkita suddenly shouted in anger.
She could not take it that someone is belittling her daughter just like that.
"Shut up! Your daughter seduced my son! How could I let him marry… that… that Halfling!"
The two women suddenly began bickering which made Shin Jiao show a slight frown on his handsome face.
When Shin Jiao looks at the rest of his group, they all just shrugged their shoulders in helplessness.
"This is your family matters and I should not intrude…" Shin Jiao said.
His words made Warkita and Loom feel a bit sad. They did not expect that Shin Jiao would not help them. But the two also knew that they have brought this trouble to the group and knew that they should be responsible for it.
But then what Shin Jiao said next, made the two feel a bit surprised.
"But since you are now a part of my family… how could I not intrude?" Shin Jiao said in an imposing manner.
At this time, several people appear behind Shin Jiao. Isabel and her elven bandmates and Hua Xiao and her team.
When the elves saw Isabel and her group a slight surprise appear in their eyes.
"Ah… the El'fore family…" Isabel said with a slight smile on her face.
"Miss Nightingale… we have met again…" the 3rd elder said with a tinge of surprise and delight in his expression.
"3rd Elder… it's been a long time."
"What seems to be…" Isabel wanted to ask something when she noticed Olley standing beside a small Halfling.
"You know who they are?" Shin Jiao asked.
"Umm… They are the El'fore family. One of the most prominent families in the Elven kingdom." she said while introducing the elves.
"And this is Olley El'fore, one of the most promising young elves…" she said while pointing at Olley.
Shin Jiao seems to have gotten the gist of the situation. It seems that the family is against the union between Olley and Loom because of Olley's status. Well, even if Olley is a simple elf, the elves would still cause trouble for him once they knew that he is with another race.
At this time, he also felt helpless at this forbidden love between the two. However, Loom is already pregnant with the child of the guy, so how could he not help her find her own happiness.
He looks at the young man and then at the other elves in his family.
"I don't know what the elven tradition is. But as a human, we believe in being responsible. Since your son has already committed the act and the fruit of that act is now present in Loom's belly. It should be right that he should be responsible for his action, right?" Shin Jiao said with a stern tone.
When Isabel heard this, she seems to now understand what is happening.
"No! My son… My son is being deceived by that… that enchantress!… That… that little imp!" the woman shouted with tears in her eyes.
How could Olley's mother accept such a thing? Her son has a lot of potentials to rise in the ranks in the elven kingdom. How could she accept that… small thing? If this is known in the kingdom then it would cause her son's reputation to fall.
"That's right we cannot accept this!"
"Let that unborn child be removed!"
"That is an unwanted child!"
The old elves behind the group shouted in protest while glaring at Loom and her mother. But Olley did not want to let Loom be harmed so he hugged her tightly.
"Enough!" the 3rd elder shouted in anger.
His aura suddenly exuded and the rest was suppressed.
With the aura of a Grand magus, the rest of the elves were forced to calm down.
This time another figure came out of the ship after feeling that strong aura. It was an old human with unkempt hair and still holding some tools in his hand.
"What is going on here?" Phil Mason said while floating in the air and slowly lading at the checkpoint at the boundary of the ship's barrier.
When another Grand Magus appears the elves were now a bit taken aback. How could they know that this group has another powerful mage in their ranks?
But when the eyes of the 3rd elder and Phil Mason met, the two broke out in smiles.
"Ah! Old friend! What are you doing here?" Phil Maso suddenly greeted.
"Haha… Old Phil. You are still the same tinkering with just anything. Haha…"
The two hug each other and one could tell that the two are friends.
They began to chat not minding the people around them. This made Shin Jiao a bit perplexed and showed helplessness.
"Ahem…" Shin Jiao cleared his throat.
"Ah, Master Shin... How is the condition in the town?" Phil Mason who noticed this asked in a jubilant manner.
"Sigh… Gran Magus Mason, we have a problem with these two young ones." Shin Jiao said while pointing at Olley and Loom.
When Phil Mason saw the two, he seems to see a loving couple, so he smiles and then said.
"Let them get married, what's the problem with that?" Phil Mason said while waving his hand.
"You people are too complicated, if they love each other then let them be. If they discovered that they don't love each other anymore then separate. What's the problem with that?" he said nonchalantly then looks at his friend wanting to catch up.
His words made everyone feel a bit speechless. This old man thinks that everything in this world is as simple as his free-spirited thought. This made Shin Jiao a bit helpless. But the headache at this time is between Loom and this elf Olley.
He did not want to let down Loom, so he needs to think of a way for this to work out.
"Sigh… Why did I involve myself in these troublesome family matters…" Shin Jiao thought.
