Chapter 77: Natural Elf

Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Natural Elf

A list appeared line by line.

As usual, Thor’s gaze swept across them one by one.

In his mind, he was still pondering how to deal with this crisis.

Just as his thoughts were flowing.

The next moment, the content reflected from the intelligence caused his pupils to contract fiercely.

"Natural Elf!"

Murmuring to himself, his eyes held a trace of surprise.

And a sense of disbelief.

Elf.

Without a doubt, they are synonymous with nobility in this world.

Every Elf is unquestionably a natural Divine Archer and Mage.

Just like Anna, who, despite being only a Half-Elf, possesses exceptionally high Mage talent.

Thor never expected that an Elf was about to be born near his territory, and it wasn’t just a regular Forest Elf, but the rarer Natural Elf.

In the time away from Dressrosa Castle, after perusing a vast array of books.

He already had considerable knowledge about the entire world.

Elves are no exception.

According to the records in ancient books.

Elves also have distinctions.

Not considering the special existence of Half-Elves, the biggest distinction lies between Forest Elves and Natural Elves.

Forest Elves are typically born from the Tree of Life, nurtured by the fruits of the Tree of Life. They are born with relatively strong magic talent and have an inherent affinity for plants.

If Allen’s Affinity for All Things covers all creatures, then Forest Elves are maxed out in plant affinity and are stronger when it comes to plants alone.

Natural Elves, on the other hand, are different from Forest Elves. Although they are both Elves, strictly speaking, they are not exactly the same existence.

Natural Elves are incarnations of elements; each birth is blessed by the Goddess of Life, possessing the power to control elements and innate strong affinity for elements.

If Forest Elves have strong magic talent, then Natural Elves are magic itself.

Natural Elves can also sign a Symbiotic Contract with Forest Elves for mutual rapid growth.

Initially, Natural Elves are fragile, while Forest Elves are relatively strong and benefited by the protection of the Life Mother Tree, which can offer Natural Elves some room for growth.

With a Natural Elf contract, Forest Elves can enhance their own talent and potential, maturing into even more powerful Elves.

Looking at this intelligence.

And thinking about his Half-Elf maiden Maid, Thor’s expression inadvertently carried a hint of peculiar color.

There is no Tree of Life here, nor any other Elves.

This intelligence seems to present an opportunity for the Half-Elf maiden.

If he hadn’t bought Anna, she might have been purchased by the Lord of the Northern Province and then, by chance, contracted with a Natural Elf.

And as long as she could contract with a Natural Elf.

The higher-level Symbiotic Contract would completely override the low-level Slave Contract, liberating Anna from the constraints of slavery.

"Indeed, it’s the Goddess of Life’s grace!"

Whispering lightly, Thor couldn’t help but shake his head.

Having lived through two lifetimes, in the previous era of information explosion, Thor understood better than more people in this era that there have always been people favored by the heavens in this world.

Reine is such a person, and Anna too.

And beyond them, there would be more people.

Just not visible within the vast crowd.

It’s nothing unusual.

His thoughts shifted as he prepared to continue contemplating the subsequent matters.

But very quickly.

His actions couldn’t help but pause.

His gaze involuntarily turned back to the intelligence.

"Maybe it’s worth a try!"

Murmuring to himself, the notion in his mind couldn’t be suppressed any longer.

Thoughts flashed rapidly.

The night gradually passed.

Morning.

Sunlight scattered in the dawn.

A new day arrived once more.

The entire Eagle Ridge again plunged into busyness.

Inside the castle room.

The door was gently knocked.

"Come in!"

A gentle voice sounded.

"Creak!"

The door creaked open, Anna carrying a platter of fruit walked in.

"Master, your fruit!"

Anna spoke cautiously.

"Thank you, leave it here!"

"Also, Alice, wait a moment!"

Thor nodded, paying no particular attention.

Anna carefully placed the fruit aside, looking a bit puzzled, but then cautiously lingering by.

Thor finished dealing with the matter in hand, waved his hand to dismiss the surrounding servants, then turned his gaze to the maiden.

He didn’t speak.

The room fell silent all at once.

Anna’s heart started to pound rapidly.

"M-Master!"

Speaking cautiously, Anna could feel her heart pounding wildly.

And at the moment her words fell.

Thor’s light laughter echoed.

"Alice, should I call you Anna, or Anna Kalenina!!"

"Lord Half-Elf maiden from the Natural Forest."

His words carried a faint smile.

But sounded like thunder instantly stirring.

"You!"

Anna abruptly raised her head, her pupils full of disbelief as she looked at Thor.

At this moment, her exquisite face carried a hint of panic, but was quickly suppressed.

"Master, what are you saying?"

Anna’s voice trembled, no, her body began to tremble, she knew what Elves would become in human nobility.

She chose to stay because here she seemed undiscovered, and highly stable.

But now it seems not to be the case.

"Saying what?"

"Kalenina, one of the Kingdom’s Three Great Duke Families, it’s said that years ago, Duke Kalenina’s second son brought back a beautiful Elf from the Natural Forest."

"Need I say more?"

Thor sneered slightly.

Kidding, he didn’t do all that homework for nothing.

Kalenina is a prominent name, coupled with Elf, finding out something, isn’t too difficult.

In fact, he knew from the start.

He just didn’t say anything.

"You!"

Anna’s eyes filled with terror.

But in the next moment.

Thor abruptly flicked his hand, tossing an object forward.

Anna flinched in alarm, a wall of fire suddenly rose in front, as she was about to retreat.

But immediately, her body couldn’t help but pause.

"Splat!"

The black shadow collided directly with the fire wall, flames erupting.

The shadow was instantly engulfed.

And at the moment of engulfment, light intertwined around her, unseen shackles scattered in that instant.

This moment Anna was stunned.

Her exquisite face full of astonishment.

Staring blankly at the burning shadow, she seemed dumbfounded, not knowing how to respond, not knowing what to do.

She had intended to escape.

Even with the Slave Contract.

At worst, it meant death.

But at this moment, completely frozen.
