When we left the elder hall, the attitude of the blonde elves had completely changed from before.
Before, they would always look at with disdain, but now…they were treating with respect.
As we walked through the village, I could even see them peeking back at from ti to ti and whispering a few things.
I would have asked Moon about this if it was before, but now…she had also changed.
Moon was following close behind and she was looking at with a strange look.
With the way that she looked at , I didn't feel like I should disturb her thoughts.
At the very least, the way back wasn't that far, so we were able to reach our residence quite quickly.
To my surprise though, the blonde elves took the initiative to ask if we needed anything.
If this was before, they would have left right away without even sparing a glance.
Then when I told them that we didn't need anything, they only revealed disappointed looks before leaving.
But there was another problem.
Moon was still here.
She didn't leave with the two blonde elves and had been there staring at the whole ti.
Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and asked her, "What are you doing?"
It was only then that she snapped out of her daze and realized what she was doing.
So with an awkward and unwilling look, she left as well, finally leaving us humans alone.
Taking this ti, I told everyone what had happened. Of course, I made sure to leave out a few things that I didn't feel like they needed to know.
They were very curious about the Mark of Life that had appeared, so I had to show all of them the mark and they all crowded , but it was different from how the elders had done it. After all, they were concerned about unlike the elders who only cared about the mark.
So the way that they looked at felt different from when the elders were staring at .
It was endearing rather than feeling strange.
This process took all the way to the late afternoon and it was at that ti that the two blonde elves ca back to pick us up.
They ca to bring us to the banquet that had been prepared.
The strange thing was that as soon as they arrived, Moon also appeared out of nowhere.
It was almost as if she had been waiting around the area the whole ti…
And as soon as she arrived, she went to the sa position as before where she stood behind , staring at the whole ti.
It was a very uncomfortable experience…
But at the very least, this only lasted until we reached the banquet in the center of the village.
We found that all of the elves of the village were already waiting for us, but they were only staring at one person….
It was as if they were all waiting for sothing as they stared at my forehead.
I could also see the elders looking at with expectant looks.
So without a choice, I called out the Mark of Life on my forehead.
The mont that it appeared, all of the elves let out shocked gasps and started staring at it with passionate gazes.
This once again made feel like I was an animal in the zoo that was being stared at, but I had no choice in this matter.
Once they had their fill, they invited us to sit and the banquet began.
The elves were acting completely different from before.
This ti, they were filled with friendliness and enthusiasm towards . This also rubbed off a bit on the other mbers of our group as they treated the other humans much more warmly compared to before.
It seed that this Mark of Life did have an effect on these elves, but I was also worried about the cons that would co later…
After the banquet had been ongoing for so ti, the green haired elder suddenly called for everyone's attention.
All of the elves imdiately stopped what they were doing and turned in that direction. Our group of humans also stopped everything and turned to look at the elders.
Once the green haired elder got everyone's attention, she raised a cup and said, "I would like to call for a toast. Without the help of our human friends, there is no doubt that our forest would have been tainted by the plans of the demons and we would have lost our ho."
After she said this, all of the elves couldn't help revealing sad looks, but those looks quickly disappeared. They all lifted their cups and joined in the toast.
Since this was a toast to us, we naturally also lifted our cups and joined in.
After the toast, the green haired elder continued by saying, "I would like to announce that from now on, we will be entering a new relationship with our human friends. They have offered to help us connect to the outside world and after long negotiations, we have agreed to enter a trading relationship with them. So if there is anything that you want from the outside world, please feel free to talk to our human friends about this."
The elves were visibly surprised when they heard this and they couldn't help turning to look at our group.
I had already told everyone about this, so we weren't surprised by this as much as the elves, though there were a few people that were still surprised by this.
However, this wasn't the biggest surprise that ca today…
After a pause, the green haired elder continued by saying, "I would also like to announce that in order to deepen our friendship with our human friends, we will be sending a group of envoys to their town to understand humans better. If there is anyone that is interested in this, please talk to Moon as she will be leading this group."
All of us humans couldn't help revealing shocked looks since this was the first ti that we were hearing about this.
