《System Hunter》Chapter 11- Red Elves
Advertisement
The City of Lady Waterlake is peaceful and ideal. Sadly the Sentinel race came and destroyed it this time. The winged humans proclaimed justice and came burning the city until the remaining beauty of the lake only remained. Before the city burned, I was handed all of Lady Waterlake's research of the Runic Language. She also gave me a pendant which contains a memory crystal. She told me that she was once fell in love of a human. Because their life span differs greatly she left the man taking the pendant of his as a reminder. "My friend whom we both suffer through love. Take this pendant and please accept my selfish request. The pendant will light once the blood of the owner flows on an individual. Give it to them and pass these words: I have returned what is loss. I enchanted the pendant with runic symbol. One day when the owner's soul returns to life once again, the pendant will show the love that never faded." - Mira Research Book #4
The monthly merchants are owned by the nobles of the kingdom. They always make a roundtrip to around the 3 clans. Along with them comes the reward for the Gram clan. All of the clansmen drool at the sight of the livestocks. It was their first time seeing this many and not eating it. The clansmen prepared a place for the livestock beside the clan. They will pasture them near the place where Ernesh find the secret place. One of the people tasked to take care of them is Ernesh which he found very benefecial. Not only that Ernesh used his 12 gold coins to buy a piece of every herb and fruit he can buy and some magical beast bones and Energy crystals. The currency are divided into 5, bronze, silver and gold coins then pearl and golden pearl. 10 bronze coins is 1 silver coin. 25 silver coin is 1 gold coins. 1000 gold coins is 1 pearl and 1000 pearl is 1 golden pearl. Pearls are only found in the ocean. Finding a pearl is easy as long as you find clams that are 100 years old. These are the only one who can produce a pure pearl. While the golden pearls are produced by a magical beast variation of a clam. If a person has a pearl he can live a normal common life for 5 years and half a year if he want to live like a noble.
Back in his spacial room, Ernesh is lost in thought as he stared at his growing crops and some "borrowed" livestocks.
"Hehehe" He grinned as he daydream of his future.
[Sigh... I hate to do this but I need to snap you back. Lord L has authorized me to do this just in case.]
Ernesh didn't heard Zero as he count his future profit until he saw a sentence in his vision that made him snapped to reality.
[System grade has dropped to D. Also, reincarnartion has been set to 100% chance cockroach. Please work hard.]
"Zero! Why?!" Ernesh yelled as he began to move.
[Please work hard to regain your grade.]
"Damn you Zero!", Ernesh cried.
He is still practicing the intimidation stance skill. At the moment he can only maintain it just by standing in one place. The moment he tried to walk the skill deactivates. Not only that, he has so little energy in his core that every activation is precious considering his normal recovery rate of energy is 1 day where the red cores needed 4 hours to fill it up where they even have more energies than him.

The easier one is the rage mode skill. He only made connection to his core and heart using his the same process like he did to his muscles. The rage mode needed his blood to make an extra route to his core ftom the heart to the brain and to his muscle. It was already half done the time he completed his Muscle Connection Tunnel so he only needed a couple of days to complete his skill.
This past seasons has been very peaceful time for Ernesh. Training in the spacial room with his skills and growing his goods. Food is plenty for him and he can even make the place cooler if he wanted. Inside the spacial room, he made a cabin where he will store the his herbs fruits and crops in the near future. The problem is that he can't sell them openly when he is in the clan.
On his weather function, he added snowy weather. He also added a hill with a small pond on the top, where the area on it is snowy. One thing that he discover is that he can manually set the function on a specific area he choose. The hill where the snowy weather is has been set where his cabin is made.
"Winter is coming. By that time, most of my crops will be ready to harvest. Also the perfect time to snuck out my goods. Most of the hunters will lay low during this season."
Inside his cozy cabin lies a small wooden table and chair where he seated. He plan to sell his crops and fruits but don't have the chance since the hunters from his clan may spot him with many food. It will spell trouble for him once they saw him. That is why Ernesh bided his time and waited for the perfect oppurtunity to go out. On the table is a map he borrowed from the clan. It depicts the area in the Waterlake kingdom.
The 3 clans are located and incharge of the south border of the Kingdom: Gram-Southwest, Skofnung-south and Durandal Southeast. West east and their northern parts is where the 4 dukes of the kingdom are located. The Northern part is protected by snowy mountain ridges and before that is where the Waterlake castle stands. Ernesh right now is looking at the west area where the Lionheart Territory lies. It has a city called Lionheart city and 2 villages one on its northern part called Merry Village and the southern part call Hode village. The Territory is being governed by Duke Robin Lionheart.
"I guess I'll move out at the third day of the second week of the first month of this season. For now the Hode village will be my first target. I'll first scout these 3 routes and find the best way to go through the woods." Ernesh marked 3 ways in the map that leads on the village. He smiled in satisfaction and decided to head home. He stepped out the magic circle and he appeared in the middle of the woods. The cold wind blew passed on his white fur coat made on rabbit's fur. The trees that now have brown leaves fall one by one on the ground as the sky turns gray and began to rain. Today is the first day of the season of water. All the beasts are migrating and some began their hibernation. The woods now become more and more quiet. Ernesh took a dreep breath and disappear on his spot only to be seen jumping on the trees on the way home.

On the Elven Kingdom the elves are preparing for the incoming winter. Although they are called Kingdom it is actually in comparison to the human empires. They are in charge of the vast forrest in the northwest of the continent of Yggdrassil one of the three continents and also the largest continent where the majority of population is composed by humans. The only other race that has large territory in the continent is the Elven Race. The Elves are divided into 3 Ethnicities: The High Elves- The one who rule the entire Elven Kingdom. They have fawny beige to white skin color, bluish eyes and mostly brown to blond hair colors. The Dark Elves- They serve the High Elves and incharge of foods in the kingdom. They are proudful warriors and only mind their own busines but, by the time the High Elves shown its might by nearly slaughtering the Red Elves and also Killed a third of their kind, they surrendered to the High Elves in fear of annihilation. This Elves have dark to lavender skin tones and have white eyes like the moon and mostly black or white hair color. Lastly the Red Elves- They are the minority of the ethnicities but once they are the ones who held most of the lands in the Elven Forest. Most of them are slaves by the High Elves and the others are hiding inside and outside the kingdom. This Elves have Reddish brown ot red skins and has brown or black eyes. Their hair are mostly ashen or black.
In a dark cornes of the Elven Forest. There is a small settlement hidden underground. Inside lives atleast 50 Red Elves that suvive the massacre that occured to their kind. These Elves have given up for the Justice that they seek and only want to live now in peace. The only problem is that not only they have loss they were also branded and accused falsely in the entire world as a Horned demon allies whose objective is to unite all the 3 continents and rule all the races. These past few years, these Red Elves have been trying to contact the Waterlake Kingdom. The Waterlake Kingdom is considered a fresh Kingdom however this Kingdom is feared even by the 3 human empires that based on the Yggdrassil continent and even the The 4th Human Empire and the Orcish Kingdom in the Kalpa Continent and the Sentinel and the Demon race in the Skyhigh continent dare not to mess with this Kingdom. The Waterlake Kingdom is one strange Kingdom where King Lancelot Waterlake hale as the King at the age of 29. The Kingdom is now 57 years old and King Lancelot is only near the half of the human lifespan and considering he is a legendary tier, he still has few more years added on his lifespan. The Waterlake Kingdom is considered strange as they provide shelter to some of the races in their territory as residence. The now endanger race of Dwarves who lost on their battle against the Orcs have migrated and treated well in the Kingdom. The Scarlet Demons who are the non-aggressive of the two ethnicity in the demon raced are also accepted by the Kingdom although a chance of becoming a spy is present as a threat. These move made the Sentinel race hate the Waterlake Kingdom and demanded they slaughter the Demons but King Lancelot not only refuse but also repelled the Sentinel's attack. They even get the backing of the Holy Center Empire after this gaining more of there territories where the 3 clans of the Kingdom defends. They even have clashes by the Elven Kingdom and the Blood Moon Empire that they successfully defended and even pushed the 2 attackers back gaining some of their territories. The Blood Moon Empire saw the potential threat of the Kingdom and decided to devour but the might of the 4 dukes and the 3 clans are not to be underestimated. The Elven Kingdom demands the waterlake to become a servant and made a joined attack with the Sentinels but faced with only the 3 clans the Elves being lead by the High Elves were defeated while the Might of King Lancelot were finally seen bythe world and faced the Sentinels together with the 4 dukes.

Inside the place stood 4 Old red Elves that has been their teacher on their community. "This has been a good news." One of the Elders spoke. "The Waterlake Kingdom has sent a reply! Finally after many years of contact." He became excited as he goes on. "Although we lost 10 of our men just to deliver and get this reply, their death gave hope for our future." All the Elders went ona quick= silent prayer before they continued. "Hao. Not only you are one of the strongest but also the most special class good in running and fighting.
