Julia and Suniya waited at the agreed location for the vehicle to appear, not knowing when Yan Luo and the others would arrive, so they were waiting early.
Julia had already informed the Deputy Corps Commander about the 'humans' intention to reconnect with the elves'.
As the Deputy Corps Commander of the Lingge Corps, Joel Gas Meng Tree had the responsibility to report this matter to the Lord.
This situation was different from before, as it fell under the realm of military defense.
If the Lord was unwilling to make contact with humans, then the Lingge Corps would be responsible for driving them away.
Fortunately, the Lord was very interested in this matter, even inviting Master Magnus in advance.
Now that their world had severed contact with other worlds, few people studied the magic of 'Language Proficiency', but for Master Magnus, who was dedicated to researching elf history, he had to learn some languages of other races.
Because some of the books in the academy library were from other races, and those books, written in different languages, were deeply connected to the history of the elves.
Therefore, Master Magnus was nearly the only scholar in the entire Elf Race who knew how to use the "Language Proficiency" magic.
Accompanied by a slightly familiar sound of wheels rolling, Suniya's wandering consciousness was brought back, and with her hand shading her eyes, she looked in the direction of the sound. Her eyes lit up, and she pointed at a grey silhouette in that direction, "They're here!"
Suniya had a shotgun given to her by Yan Luo hanging on her body, with a few bullets missing from the belt.
After using it once, Suniya became fond of this weapon that could produce a booming sound. To her, the weapons used by the elves were too "uninteresting".
Even though she cherished the shotgun and was sparing with the bullets, over time, they continued to dwindle.
This made Suniya anxious, thinking that if Yan Luo and the others didn't return, she would have no "arrows" to use.
Fortunately, Yan Luo and the others finally arrived.
Suniya remembered the full box of "arrows" she had seen before and thought she could trade prey with Yan Luo for them.
The vehicle's radar detected Julia and Suniya, and as the armored car approached, Sasa rolled down the window and waved to the two elves standing on the tree, "Julia! Suniya!"
The two sisters leaped down from the branches and turned their heads, only to find that the person driving this "iron carriage" wasn't Yan Luo, nor was the person in the other seat Sasa.
With a mix of doubt and caution, Julia and Suniya walked over and immediately noticed the differences between this "iron carriage" and the previous one.
The former had only three doors; this one had five: two on each side and one at the back.
Sasa opened the left middle door of the armored car and waved Julia and Suniya in.
Yan Luo, Sasa, and Li Xinyue were all seated in the last row of the armored car, leaving the middle row empty for Julia and Suniya.
Entering the armored car and sitting on the comfortable, soft seats, Julia and Suniya curiously looked around while the three people, apart from Sasa and Yan Luo, observed the two elves.
As in the mythical legends, elves had relatively pointed ears, though not every elf had blonde hair and blue eyes. Julia had brown hair and black eyes, while Suniya had black hair and black eyes.
Sasa, seated in the middle of the back row, communicated with Julia through gestures and signs, and after some effort, finally had Julia understand that all she needed to do next was guide them.
Then, Julia became the guide for the armored car, with Sasa and Yan Luo acting as translators, directing Liu Feiyu on the path ahead.
Liu Feiyu drove the armored car through the forest, but no matter which direction he went, all he saw was a dense forest, making him almost develop a "forest phobia".
It was unclear when, but Julia and Suniya simultaneously said, "We're here."
Here? Wasn't this area still surrounded by forest?
Just as people were puzzled, a grand and enormous city suddenly appeared in front of the armored car.
It was as if the city teleported right in front of them, appearing suddenly.
The city was surrounded by lofty, thick walls, with shimmering light flowing over gray stone bricks, and vines and roots emerging from the gaps to reinforce and bind the countless bricks together.
The 35-meter-high walls were capable of repelling any city-breaking level demon, which was more than enough for the elves living inside.
Even in the Elf World, disaster-level demons rarely appeared.
Upon the discovery of a level-five demon, they would be hunted down by the stationed forces from various cities.
If truly insurmountable, they could seek assistance from the Ancestral Court.
A spacious roadway appeared in front of the armored car, flanked by farmland encircling the city.
Scatterings of houses were located outside the city, serving as the farmers' residences.
The appearance of the armored car made the farmers who were tending their fields think that a demon had breached the barrier, causing them to cry out in alarm.
Julia was a bit stunned but quickly realized that these farmers were different from her.
She knew this was a "iron carriage" that didn't need horses, but to most elves, it simply looked like a demon.
So, Julia hurried to open the car door, hooked the edge of the roof, agilely climbed onto it, and waved to the farmers around, shouting, "Don't be afraid! This isn't a demon! This isn't a demon!"
Seeing an elf emerge from the "demon," and appearing to possess rationality, the farmers began to relax their caution and ceased their screaming.
However, the farmers' earlier cries had already alerted the soldiers stationed on the city wall.
A small black dot rose from the city wall and flew toward the armored car.
The black dot quickly enlarged, and Wu Zechuan slowly discerned that it was an elf riding a flying dragon.
That was probably a "flying dragon," as it resembled the wyverns from games and movies.
The flying dragon hovered over the armored car, circling constantly, and the cavalry on its back shouted down to Julia, "Julia, what's going on?"
"Humans! It's a human carriage!" Julia pointed at the armored car beneath her.
The Flying Dragon Cavalry was taken aback and instinctively turned its head to look for the horses of this carriage.
Seeing this, Julia explained, "Human carriages don't need horses; they can run with just iron!"
The Flying Dragon Cavalry was even more astonished, "My god, humans can tame horses made of iron?"
Feeling she couldn't get through to him, Julia sighed and switched topics: "I've already reported this to the Deputy Corps Commander and the Lord. You can ask your superior about it. I need to lead them into the city now; have the other elves be alert so they won't be scared."
The Flying Dragon Cavalry knew Julia's character and didn't think she was lying, so he tugged the reins, guiding the dragon to fly low over the road, shouting to the farmers below.
Wu Zechuan withdrew his gaze from outside the window, gaining a new understanding of the Elf World.
Elves seemed generally capable of using magic, and those farming were employing magic for agricultural work; one elf could tend to 10 acres with ease.
Moreover, they could even tame demons.
The flying dragon the cavalry just rode was probably a demon.
The elves' productivity was quite strong, but their production techniques were backward. If elves could acquire some knowledge from the Blue Star People, their entire world could undergo extraordinary changes overnight.
Fortunately, Wu Zechuan had no plans to exchange knowledge with the elves.
— At least not at the moment.
Liu Feiyu stepped on the accelerator, and the armored car slowly moved forward, drawing curiosity from the nearby elves.
Julia stood atop the vehicle, assuring the elves that the "iron carriage" would pose no problems.
At the end of the road stood several city gates, but the side gates were too small for the armored car, so the elves had to open the main gate.
Heavy stone blocks were slowly lifted with the pull of iron chains, the winch winding the chains round and round, gradually raising the stone halfway.
The cityscape within came into view, and those witnessing an exotic scene for the first time couldn't help but widen their eyes.
The armored car started again, driving into the city.
