Cale observed the Elf priestess while holding the gold and coins in his arms.

The young priestess who had rushed over let out a sigh of relief before flinching. She had finally seen the Black Dragon sitting down next to Cale.

"Gasp!"

They all heard her gasp.
The Black Dragon Raon spoke into Cale's mind to share his first impression of this priestess.

– She seems like a nice Elf.

He then peeked toward the large bag of coins in Cale's arm. On the other hand, the young priestess bowed toward Raon.

"It is an honor to meet you, Dragon-nim! My name is Adite, and I serve the World Tree-nim in this End Village."

"Oh."
Cale let out a quiet gasp.
He had never seen an Elf behav so calmly around a Dragon before. He remembered what Eruhaben had told him.

'Talk to the Elf in charge of the World Tree if the other Elves do not understand. Then everything will be fine.'

The, 'do not understand,' was literally talking about the Elves not understanding what Cale was saying. It was just in case they were too busy revering the Dragon that they could not understand anything else.

"Yes. Nice to meet you, little Elf."

Raon's bright greeting to the priestess made all of the other Elves start to smile.

All of their gazes were focused on Raon as they continued to nod their heads. They looked toward Cale who had come to deliver Eruhaben's message every so often, but it was rare.

That was why they would not be able to understand anything Cale needed to say. It wasn't that they were ignoring Cale on purpose. They just could not help but look at Raon.

Of course, there was something Cale did not know.

There was a reason that the Elves were nodding their heads and looking at him every so often.

It was because of the conversation that the beings that Cale could not see were having.

'The World Tree called the priestess over to say something because of this red-haired human! I think it has been over a hundred years since the World Tree has talked about a human!'
'This human has a strong aura of nature on him. He is probably the human with the most natural elements.'
'No wonder he is with two Dragon-nims. This human smells really good.'

The Elementals were talking about Cale.
The Elves couldn't help but peek over at him after hearing what the Elementals had to say.

"Hmm?"

Cale realized that the Elves were starting to look at him more and more often. Most importantly, the young priestess started to scrunch her freckled nose as she stood there with her hands clasped together.

'... This is weird.'

Cale flinched after he started to realize something was weird.

Shaaaaaaaaaaaa-
It felt like there was a breeze. However, there was no actual breeze.
"...What is this?"

Cale became anxious.

One, two.
He could see many colorful and half-transparent Elemental.
That wasn't weird. This was the case at the Elf Village in the Ten Finger Mountains as well.

There were a lot of Elementals.
That wasn't weird either. The Elementals were born by the World Tree. This was their hometown.

The issue was elsewhere.
Where were all of these numerous Elementals gathered?
