Reborn as an Extra - Chapter 223

Chapter 223: Fix a broken ‘Path’…? Part-1.
“Hmm, we can talk later, it’s not good to stay here for long… there are too many people here after all…” (Ryul)

Ryul is the king of the whole elven empire, and wherever he goes he attracts immense attention.

Thus, a huge crowd started to form when he was standing right in front of the main gate of the capital city.

(There are massive walls surrounding this city, these walls are enhanced by SS-rank magic… aside from an SS-ranker, none can break through them…)

At Ryul’s words, Ashtel glanced around and noticed that many elves were starting to surround them, they were all just ordinary elves and none of them was an awakener.

They seemed to have stars shining in their eyes while looking at Ryul and Syvis from so close.

Children, elderly, and even adults all stopped in their tracks when they noticed Ryul’s presence.

“It seems you are loved by your people a lot…” (Ashtel)

At Ashtel’s words, Ryul puffed up his chest in pride and said in a happy tone.

“Well of course! I have already been in power for about a hundred years now! They all know me well!” (Ryul)

Elves have a long lifespan and thus the reign of a king lasts for a long time before the next generation replaces them.

The criteria to become the king of the Elves is actually quite simple.

First, you need to be born in the royal family of the Elves, then you need to reach peak rank SS, and then you need to gather the support of the populace. Fairly simple isn’t it?

Ryul waved his hand at the people and several of them started to jump in excitement.

Seeing the increasing crowd Syvis opened a portal and said to the students.

“You all can take this portal, it will directly send you all to the front of your resting area…” (Syvis)

The students looked at Ashtel and Jin for approval and when they both nodded their heads, only then did they take the portal.

One by one they entered the portal and left the scene.

Just when Link was also about to leave, Ashtel suddenly stopped him and said in a calm voice.

“You all are free for the next three days, we will be in the ‘Meeting’ for the next three days, so you children are free to roam the city and go anywhere you like…” (Ashtel)

“Just don’t cause any trouble and there shouldn’t be any problems….” (Ashtel)

Ryul and Syvis also nodded their heads at Ashtel’s words. Ryul even patted Link’s shoulder and said in a calm tone.

“Yes, children shall enjoy their youth, there’s no need to get concerned with the talks of us old folks…” (Ryul)

“Jin will tell you any important information about the meeting afterward… so you can enjoy your time here in the elven capital without any worries of missing out… it’s a rare chance, don’t waste it…” (Ashtel)

Link nodded his head solemnly after hearing Ashtel’s words.

Although he looked calm on the surface he was extremely excited from the inside but he dared not show off in front of the watchful eyes of four SS-rankers.

The portal closed after Link entered it and left the place.

Once the children were out of the picture, the faces of all of them instantly went calm and a solemn atmosphere appeared between them instantly.

Ryul’s eyes narrowed and he said in a very solemn tone.

“Let’s find a quiet place for us to talk a bit first…” (Ryul)

All four of them instantly flew into the air and left the place, leaving the excited crowd of people behind.

…

A giant tree, Elven Capital, South-west area.

“Whoa! So they really have houses on trees!!” (Riya)

The place where the portal sent the students was a resting area where small wooden rooms were built on gigantic trees.

Everywhere you look, a similar type of architecture could be seen.

“Hmm, it seems this whole area is purposely made as a resting place for the foreign guests… the talented kids of other races might become our neighbors for a while…” (Liam)

The students looked at their own ‘World Tree leaf’ and confirmed their own rooms using it.

The leaf guided them all to their own rooms.

There were exactly seven rooms on the gigantic tree on which they all were supposed to stay.

Wooden stairs connected all the small rooms and the falling leaves adding another great charm to this beautiful scenery.

“I will plant such a tree in my garden once I go back, haha!” (Fade)

Hearing his words, everyone gave him weird looks.

“You don’t even know that such trees are unique to the elven kingdom, right?” (Liam)

These small rooms that are made on the tree are not artificial, the tree itself creates them.

This is the work of a high-rank Wood Mage, who manipulated the tree and made it grow in this fashion, moreover, these trees are all blessed by the ‘World Tree’ itself thus they are unique.

To plant such a tree at your home back in the human empire, you would need to get it blessed by the ‘world tree’ first then plant it, and then find a high-rank wood mage to do the work for you.

Wood magicians are very common among the Elves, but they are quite rare in the human empire. Most people awaken violent elements like Fire.

Calm and gentle elements like ‘Wood’ are quite rare.

“Ahem! For the time being, we all should see our rooms and rest for a few hours, after that we can go and explore the city and have some fun on our own…” (Link)

Link told them all about what Ashtel said to him earlier and all of the students got excited after hearing the fact that they could wander around in the capital without any problems.

Fade didn’t even bother seeing his own room and rushed away to play along with Kira without any care in the world.

Others didn’t care much about them and didn’t bother stopping them either.

While climbing the stairs, Lia asked Rio.

“Shall we meet up after two hours?” (Lia)

“Yeah, I will wait for you below the tree…” (Rio)

At Rio’s words, Lia giggled a bit and asked:

“You will wait? What if I am the early bird and I wait for you?” (Lia)

Rio just shook his head at her words.

“I wouldn’t want to make you wait for me… besides, I am faster…” (Rio)

Lia just rolled her eyes at Rio’s words.

“It’s not like I am slow, you know…” (Lia)

“Girls need to take a lot of time to get ready, no?” (Rio)

“Well, that… is correct I guess…” (Lia)

Lia waved her hand to say bye and entered her room, Rio nodded his head and continued to climb.

His room was just above hers and thus he reached it quite fast too.

He opened the door lightly and walked in.

What greeted him was a massive room, with nearly all the facilities available.

There was a couch, a TV, a 3d printer, and a teacup… then Rio made himself tea.

(Cough! Bro didn’t even bother waiting for a few seconds, the first thing he did after reaching the Elf kingdom was, drink tea!!)

Only after sipping tea a few times did he properly start observing the room.

‘This place… it’s nearly as big as my dorm room back in the academy…’ (Rio)

The room which looked so small from the outside, had a massive bedroom with a king-sized bed in it, there was a kitchen, a drawing room, a washroom, etc.

All in all, the whole place was just as big as Rio’s dorm room back in the academy.

But there was one notable difference between his dorm room and this place.

Rio stretched out his hand and placed it on the room’s wall.

‘Hmm, as I thought… the walls here are made of magically enhanced wood… they have a strange calming effect… perhaps some kind of mild healing magic was also used while creating this place…’ (Rio)

“The elven architecture is indeed interesting…” (Rio)

‘To be able to do this… at least an A-rank Wood magician and an A-rank healer is needed…’ (Rio)

‘Although the wood seems sturdy… I am quite sure my ‘Sword intent’ can cut it…’ (Rio)

Ever since Rio has awakened his ‘Sword Intent’ he has always had a bad habit of comparing things in terms of whether he can ‘cut it or not’.

After observing the room for a while longer, Rio shook his head and stopped thinking too much.

He went ahead, slumped down on the couch, and watched TV as he sipped on the rest of the tea.

‘It’s not like I will be staying here for long… there’s no need to think too much…’ (Rio)

Truthfully speaking, Rio never really cared where he slept or stayed.

In his past life he had even slept on the cold floor, this place is already a great luxury in his opinion.

As they say: ‘When you eat rotten food for too long, even tasteless bread seems like a luxurious good in your eyes…’

Author’s Notes.

Yo! It’s your beloved author here! Rio really has developed a great love for Tea it seems.

Fun fact: Rio started to drink tea in the morning to save the ‘breakfast food money’ in his previous life, eventually he got addicted to tea as he continued to skip breakfast for a long time…

He bought his first-ever novel from the money he saved from skipping breakfast…

Question of the day.

Which type of home would you like to live in?

1. An Elven style home. (Live on the gigantic tree and feel the warm wind breeze…)

2. A Dwarven-style home. (Live in a metallic underground bunker, although it’s not luxurious, it’s safe…)

3. Others (Tell me in the comments.)
