I could hear the apathetic tone in their voice, but I didn't let myself be disturbed by this.
I just calmly looked at the green haired elf and said, "A few days ago, there was a dispute between my people and the elves of this forest. I wish to meet with the elders to discuss this matter."
Once they heard this, all of the elves suddenly knitted their brows. They looked at us with a wary look.
But before the green haired elf could say anything, one of the two blonde elves behind them suddenly said, "Audacious! Do you really think that someone with your status could meet with the elders? Let alone step foot in our…"
Before they could say the final word, the green haired elf raised their hand to stop them before saying, "You're too confident for someone that's asking this kind of overboard request. There must be some kind of reason that you are this confident."
When the blonde elves heard this, they looked at me with wary looks again.
But I didn't care since the beginning, my eyes had been on the green haired elf the entire time.
That was because I knew that when it came to elves, those that had green hair were considered superior to the other elves. The green hair was the indication that the elf that possessed it was closer to nature itself.
It meant that they were closer to becoming a high elf, the advanced version of the elves.
So this green haired elf was clearly the leader of this group.
Looking at the green haired elf, I slowly said, "Aktu han mumet."
The moment that they heard this, the elves looked at me with narrowed eyes.
As for everyone else, they looked at me like I had gone crazy because to them, it sounded like I had just spoken gibberish.
But I didn't care about their concerned looks as I focused my attention on the elves. Especially the green haired one who I was waiting for a reaction from.
Finally, after a long silence, the green haired elf suddenly asked, "What did you say?"
It was almost as if they were pretending like they couldn't understand what I was saying. It was just too bad that I could already see from the look in their eyes that they had indeed understood what I said.
So I repeated the same thing once again.
After hearing this, the elves looked at each other before giving sighs.
The green haired elf looked at me and sighed again before saying, "Alright, follow me."
Then after that, they turned around and waved their hand, as if they were telling us to follow them.
When this happened, all of the members of my group revealed shocked looks. They looked at the elves and looked back at me, as if they were trying to figure out just what had happened.
But I ignored their inquisitive looks as I began following the elves.
However, before I could take more than two steps, Cecilia suddenly came in front of me.
She raised her hand to stop me before saying, "I'll go first."
I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say it in the end with the way that she looked at me.
The look that she gave me made it clear that she was putting her foot down as the head of security here.
There was no way that she would allow me to go into an unknown portal all by myself first. The only way that she would ever allow this to happen was if she went in first to check it out.
So I could only accede and let her go first.
Cecilia gave a nod and had two of her knights follow her as she went after the elves.
The elves had been waiting in front of the portal, standing on the water.
But then there was a problem.
The portal was in the middle of the pond and there was no way that we would be able to walk on the water as well. So Cecilia and her knights just awkwardly waited on the side of the pond, not knowing what to do.
They could have waded in, but that would have put them at a disadvantage if the elves ever tried anything.
Seeing that they didn't move, the green haired elf looked at Cecilia and asked, "Human, what are you doing?"
Cecilia was surprised at being addressed like this by the elf, but then she awkwardly said, "We can't walk on the water like you do."
The green haired elf raised a brow as they looked at Cecilia before saying, "We can't walk on water either. Just take the magic bridge."
After hearing this, Cecilia and the two knights beside her couldn't help looking down at the pond in front of them.
It was very faint, but when they looked closely, they found that there was a sort of glow on the surface of the water. This glowing part only existed in a path to the water portal and the rest of the pond looked normal.
This was most likely the magic bridge that the green haired elf had mentioned.
But this was completely new to Cecilia and the knights, so they couldn't help being cautious.
Cecilia was the one that took the lead and she carefully brought her foot onto the part of the pond that had a faint glow to it.
While she expected to fall right through since she thought that this was one of the tricks of the elves, she found that she didn't. Instead, she just stood there on the surface of the water like she was standing on solid ground.
The elves just looked at her like they were looking at a caveman before shaking their heads and giving a sigh.
The green haired elf didn't wait any longer and moved over to the water mirror. They waved their hand behind them and then said, "Come on."
Then without waiting, they stepped right through along with the other two elves.
Cecilia also walked over to the water mirror and then carefully, she reached her foot out towards the water mirror.
When it crossed the threshold of the water mirror, it disappeared just like the elves did.
