Chapter 3215: Evolved Flora
"I’m glad that you are optimistic," Rui replied to her. "I understand you have great hopes for the future of human civilization. I also understand you disapprove of our violent tendencies. However..."
His tone grew more serious.
"We are a Martial civilization, do not forget that. We are not dark elves, we are human beings. That means that we will never be like you, no matter what. We do not expect dark elves to adopt our ways and start wielding Martial Art, and likewise, we hope that you have a similar understanding regarding our relationship with nature."
"Of course." The Matriarch took a metaphorical step back. "We do not intend to impose our ways. We simply hope to share with you what you are able and willing to take, and likewise, we too hope to learn about your ways when it comes to the exotic matter that has whipped the entirety of the true world into a frenzy. We hope to cultivate a genuine friendship with human civilization."
Rui smiled. "We, too, hope for just that, Matriarch."
"In that case, let us not delay your journey to West Genora," the matriarch remarked. "The sooner you have the opportunity to speak to my sisters and understand our civilization as a whole, the more you will understand what our civilization is like."
Her eyes sharpened.
"Do not gain too high an opinion from what you see here in this little settlement, Dawnbringer."
Rui’s eyebrows furrowed at those words.
He didn’t quite understand what she was trying to convey.
