Chapter 248: Bloodline - 248
Zhou Fan nodded as he heard the guards' explanation. He hadn't expected him to be such an influential figure.
The rest of the journey continued quietly and smoothly. Although the hot sun may affect mortals, both Zhou Fan and the guard were perfectly fine.
As time passed, Zhou Fan realized they were closing in on the center of the city. Just as they were about to reach the castle in the middle, they took a right. The closest thing to the castle was a giant purple dome.
Although it made the things inside it slightly blurry, Zhou Fan was able to make out the outline of some trees. He also noticed that the inside seemed pretty dark.
"We are here. Inside the dome is the high elf domain. Word has been sent that you are coming. Once you enter, a high elf will meet you. Follow her." The guard in silver explained.
Zhou Fan nodded in understanding.
"The domains shield has temporarily been deactivated. Hurry up and enter." The guard said.
Zhou Fan nodded and walked into the dome.
As he entered, it was like day shifted to night. The sun was no longer in sight and a moon could be seen in its place.
Zhou Fan was easily able to see through the illusion array, but he ignored and looked around the dark forest. Luckily, he could see no matter how dark it got.
Not long after he began looking, he spotted a woman with silver hair and long ears halfway hiding behind a tree.
"Hello." Zhou Fan said.
Due to the domain's silence, his words easily reached the elf's ears.
When the elf realized Zhou Fan was looking at her, she stepped out from behind the tree.
"Follow me." She said before turning around and running.
She was quite fast, but she was only at the 2nd level of the Qi gathering realm.
Zhou Fan easily kept up with her, maintaining a distance of 15 feet.
The elf woman looked behind her and nodded as she saw that he could keep up. After just thirty seconds, the elf woman stopped running. Zhou Fan appeared beside her and looked forward. In front of them was a large tree with purple leaves.
At the trunk of that tree was a doorway shrouded in light.
"Go inside." The elf woman said before going somewhere else.
Zhou Fan didn't pay attention to her departure and entered the tree trunk doorway.
As he entered, he finally received some light. Looking around, it seemed that he had entered some sort of bar. There were around 20 high elves chatting around the place and barrels of wine were lined on the walls.
The light was coming from a chandelier on the ceiling inlaid with spirit stones.
As Zhou Fan entered, the 20 people stopped speaking and turned to look at him. The smiles and laughter on their faces was replaced with a cold silence.
On the other side of the bar, a door opened and a 40 year old looking elf woman wearing a crown on her head entered the room.
"Come boy." The elf woman said before turning around and walking back through the door she had just exited.
Zhou Fan nodded and walked forward, ignoring the gazes of every person in the building.
As he opened the door, entered, and closed the door behind him, he saw a long tunnel extending deep underground.
As the elf woman continued to walk forward, she spoke.
"You will have to forgive my fellow high elves. Since you have yet to be proven a high elf, they look down on you." The elf woman said. "I am the queen of the high elves, second to only the emperor himself."
"The kings of these kingdoms consider themselves above me, but they have no idea the importance of me." She talked as she continued down the tunnel. "This domain is the place that all high elves reside. In total, there are a hundred high elves. The high elves outside of this domain can be counted on one hand."
As she spoke, they reached a door. Zhou Fan estimated that they were past the domain walls and under the actual city.
Zhou Fan was getting tired of doors and entrances, but he quietly walked through.
The room behind the door was simple and not that large. The only thing besides the wall, ceiling, and floor was an altar.
"Prick your blood on the spike. Contrary to what you've been told, if you are not a high elf, you will be killed." The high elf queen said.
Zhou Fan nodded and walked towards the altar. Naturally, he was not stupid. As he walked through the bar, he observed every person's bloodline and comprehended the high elves in their entirety.
They were simply elves with a mutated bloodline and average talent on par with the celestials or the heavenborns.
In other words, they were not that special.
With the high elf queen's high elf bloodline as a final reference, Zhou Fan was able to perfectly imitate the high elf bloodline and condense a drop of high elf blood.
In order to prevent himself from being seen as some sort of high elf king or high elf god, he toned down the quality of the blood drop.
When the drop of blood landed on the spike, the altar lit up and presented a percentage in the air.
It read 80%.
Seeing it, the high elf queen's eyes opened slightly.
"Incredible. Your bloodline's purity is second only to mine and equal to only a few." She said.
Suddenly, her face seemed a lot more friendly.
"We high elves have statuses based on our bloodline purity. 1% to 24% is a dirty blood. We usually kill them for shaming our bloodline. From 25% to 49% are what we call high elf commoners. We accept them, but they don't enjoy much special treatment. Regardless, they get much more than any normal elf." She explained.
"From 50% to 69%, we call them noble high elves. That is where special treatment starts. From 70% to 89%, we call them high elf dukes. That is what you and 5 others are. From 90% to 99% we call high elf kings/queens, and at 100%, that would be a high elf god."
Chapter 249: Racists - 249
"I am the purest and strongest high elf alive. The kings of the kingdoms are about equal to me in strength, or were, and the emperor was stronger than us all." The high elf queen explained.
Zhou Fan nodded in response. Naturally, the elf bearing the elf races providence would be stronger than a high elf.
Since the elf race on the elf planet is different from the other elves back in the Zhou galaxy, they would be considered different races, which meant that there would be two providences for two different elf races, although the high elves were still in the same category as the elves of the heaven galaxy.
"Now that it has been shown that I am a high elf, what happens next?" Zhou Fan asked.
He had been going with the flow since he got here, but he had no idea what the endpoint was.
"That's up to you. As a high elf, you can enjoy life inside the high elf domain without having to be near lesser elves. You can cultivate or enjoy the high elf domains attractions." She said.
Zhou Fan was confused by her words. Since he was restricting his divine sense, he had no idea if there was actually anything good in the high elf domain.
"What exactly is there?" Zhou Fan asked.
Hearing his question, the high elf queen put her hand on her chin and thought. "Well, since you are a high elf duke, I suppose I can give you a personal tour."
After she spoke, she began to walk back through the way they came.
"First, I'll give you a badge. If you had a Citizen Id inside your arm, I could update it, but a badge is required regardless." She spoke as she walked back up the tunnel.
Zhou Fan followed behind her.
Before long, they entered the bar again. Silence took over the place until the high elf queen spoke.
"This is Zhou Fan. He is a high elf duke. Treat him worthy of his status." She exclaimed to the entire bar.
In an instant, everyone's gaze changed from suspicion and slight disgust to interest and astonishment.
"Wait here. I'll be back with the badge." The high elf queen said before walking off.
Zhou Fan looked around and it seemed that the entire bar was focused on him. Now, however, there were conversations going on.
Before Zhou Fan even attempted to listen in on what they were saying, an aged butler walked up to him. He was wearing a badge with a moon in the center and one purple star above it.
Using basic deduction, it could be assumed that he's a high elf commoner.
He spoke with a calm and experienced expression on his face, his head lowered and his eyebrows covering most of his eyes. "Good evening lord duke. It is an honor to meet you. Would you like to enter the vip section?"
Zhou Fan nodded while speaking. "Yes I would."
The old butler bowed before walking away. Zhou Fan assumed he was meant to follow him and did so.
On the same side of the bar as the entrance door was a stairway. It was on the left and went up into an arched frame with purple lights coming out of it.
The old butler went up those stairs and stopped right before going through the arch. He turned around and gestured for Zhou Fan to enter.
Zhou Fan nodded and entered. In front of him was a fairly long hallway. At some point, it seemed to turn to the left.
Zhou Fan briefly walked down the carpeted hallway until he reached the turn. He then entered the room in front of him.
In the room, he saw five couches, with only one having a person sitting on it. He was facing the wall to Zhou Fans' right that he could not see and chuckling.
As he saw Zhou Fan enter, he frowned for a second.
"Stop. Who allowed you to enter?"
"My name is Zhou Fan, a new high elf duke." Zhou Fan answered. "The elf queen is getting my badge right now."
"Oh." He said as his frown disappeared. "Hurry and come over before the show is over." He said while gesturing to the couches around him.
Zhou Fan walked in and sat on one of the couches before finally paying attention to the right wall.
It was a wall of glass and behind it were two normal elves.
"I hope you don't mind the sight of blood." He said with a chuckle. "These two monkeys should make a good show."
Zhou Fan understood what was happening in an instant. Seeing the occasional trembles of the elves facing each other, it was even easier to understand.
The high elf duke, or whoever was managing the entertainment, had captured two elves and forced them to fight each other to the death.
'These guys sure are racist.' Zhou Fan said to himself before paying attention to the battle.
Although he wasn't a fan of what was happening, he didn't plan on stopping it. He was no enforcer of justice. As far as he was concerned, the two elves, as well as all of the high elves on the elf world, along with all the elves on the elf world, along with all the living beings in heavens galaxy, along with all the beings of the universe, would end up dying and turning to dust regardless of whether or not he saved them.
Only he would live forever.
Such an attitude had caused Zhou Fan to feel distant from everything happening. It was as if he was reading some sort of book.
'Whatever.' He said to himself as he watched the fight.
The two elves clearly were forced to fight, but they seemed to be going all out.
"This show is fairly rare. There are plenty of others, but you just so happened to come during the best one." The high elf duke spoke.
"By the way, my name is Richard. Nice to meet you Zhou." The high elf duke said casually.
Suddenly, from the dukes vision, he saw Zhou Fan head turning towards him slowly.
"What did you just say?" Zhou Fan asked.
