Chapter 14
Juan was very frustrated.
It was completely different from what he saw on the top of the mountain. After returning to the camp, when Juan looked at the pictures he had taken, he felt that they were no different from standing on a tall building on the main star overlooking Central Park.
"That won't work, Morgan. Such pictures have no meaning. Even if I put a label on it and said, 'Look, this is the World Tree,' no one would believe it. They would think I was just joking."
"But you know, that's the World Tree."
"Morgan, I want you to put yourself in my shoes.
"When I get older, my grandson will come to me with this picture and ask: 'What is this, Grandpa?'
"I said to him: 'Child, this is the World Tree.'
"He will definitely say: 'Grandpa, you are lying, this is just a forest, exactly the same as the woods in the park!'
"Tell me, how should I reply to him?"
"Are you okay Juan."
"What's wrong? Why do you ask me that?"
"I just wanted to make sure you were okay."
"I am fine."
"Not sick?"
"No."
"Aren't you sleepy?"
"No, I'm very conscious."
"But I think you are being confused, because you don't have children at all, so you can't have grandchildren."
"Hey! I'm not you! I'm still single at this old age! I'm still young, and being young means there are infinite possibilities."
“So it’s possible that you can’t find a wife, or you may find a wife but you can’t give birth to a son, or you may give birth to a son, but he can’t find a wife, or you may have a son who finds a wife, but he can’t give birth to a child…
…”
"That's enough, Morgan, please don't curse me. You have no sympathy at all."
"I just mentioned a possibility. Since you said there are infinite possibilities, of course there is such a possibility."
"I was wrong. I apologize. I shouldn't have said that you were an elderly single. You just look old, but in fact, you are not old at all in your mentality."
"This is advice from singles to singles! Although the advice may be harsh, it is the truth."
"Okay, okay, let's stop hurting each other. I know what you mean, you just won't take me in."
"Yes, because I can't violate Soma's prohibition. I can't afford the consequences of having my hunter's license revoked. This is a more serious matter than if you can't get a wife or give birth to a son."
Juan sighed, knowing that Morgan was serious this time.
The bonfire in the camp was crackling, but there was no other sound.
Until Frodo brought some slightly tough spaghetti.
"Well done, Frodo, you have the potential to be a great chef."
"Thank you, boss. I strictly followed the instructions printed on the package. No matter the microwave power or microwave time, there was no difference at all.
"And I didn't put both pieces of pasta into the microwave at the same time, although that might be faster, but if the noodles are not placed in the center of the microwave, they will be heated unevenly, which will affect the taste.
"So I specially separated it, and after finishing one part, I made another one..."
A certain string in Huan's mind was suddenly plucked. Although Frodo was still chattering, he could not hear a word he said.
"Morgan, I have a bold idea..."
"Stop it, I don't agree."
"I haven't said anything yet!"
"Based on my years of experience, any 'bold idea' must be stupid."
A breath was held in Juan's throat, and he almost died on the spot. Fortunately, he was young and finally recovered.
"Morgan, Soma only banned you from entering, but he didn't ban me, so I think..."
"Don't think about it, I'm telling you, it's a restricted area."
"No, what you said is useless. You are just a hunter and a guide, and you always like to talk nonsense seriously. I can definitely think that the statement about the Elf Reserve is just your nonsense. After all, there has never been an Elf Reserve in the official statement.
An argument."
"I never bullshit!"
"Okay Morgan, let's not discuss this. What I want to say is that if I want to go in, there is actually no way you can stop me."
"I will dissuade you."
"Yes, but I don't have to listen. And you're not the webmaster, so you don't have the power to enforce the law, right? You don't have the power to enforce the law! So you can't do anything to me."
"But Soma..."
"What can Soma do to me? He never told me about the reservation."
"But Soma will blame me."
"You didn't go in, and you tried to dissuade me. You've done your duty, what else can he say?"
"That's the elf reserve!"
"So what? It's not like I've never seen elves before. There are two elves in the Pioneer Station building, ah no, there's only one left now."
"That's different. The eladrin is different from the elves in the reservation."
"Who is Yaling?"
"Our introducer, Soma's servant, the director of the service center, the elf who manages all the humanoid creatures in the development station for Soma."
"Ah, I remembered that blond elf. But except for the different hair color, I don't think there is any difference between him and the elves here."
"The difference is huge! The Yaling is the Moon Elf."
"Moon elves and tree elves are not both elves, what's the difference?"
"Moon elves are the largest branch of elves. They originally believed in the moon goddess, but after the moon was blown up by humans, their faith collapsed.
"The vast majority of moon elves have turned to humans and are willing to serve humans as their masters. They will even enlarge their breasts to please humans, and... forget it, let's not talk about it.
"But the elves in the reservation are different. They are not protected by Alliance laws, which also means that they do not recognize Alliance laws.
"Some of the older ones among them, you know, elves are famous for their longevity. They may have even fought with humans. God knows how these elves will treat you."
Morgan's words made Juan feel a little nervous. He had seen the rebellious elves. Although they had all been wiped out, there was no guarantee that there were still some left. These elves could not be friendly to humans.
But Juan is not a person who is afraid of taking risks. In fact, he came to this remote and beautiful planet in search of excitement, trying to become famous through videos and live broadcasts, which is an adventure in itself.
Moreover, Juan has no choice but to retreat. His property on the main star has been mortgaged and turned into a spaceship ticket for interstellar travel. If he cannot make enough money, he can only file for bankruptcy.
The fear of bankruptcy made Juan determined.
"I still decided to go in. What you said is just a guess. Maybe after so many years, they have long since given up their hatred.
"Maybe I won't encounter any elves. I just need to walk in, take a photo, and walk out again. It's as simple as walking in the woodland in a city park."
Morgan looked straight at Juan, his face was as serious as ever, but the flickering light of the bonfire in his eyes revealed a warmth.
"I'll wait for you for a day. If you don't come out after one day, I will go to Soma and ask him to send someone into the reservation to find you..."
"Thank you, Dad, you are a good man."
"Or bring your body out."
"You actually don't need to add this sentence."
"Don't tell me I feel uncomfortable."
"..."
