Chapter 59: Elf!
Meanwhile, Elliot and Kumoko quickly entered the land filled with natural energy. In the Forest Nation, there was only one major city.
The total area was 4.8 million square kilometers, almost half the size of a large food-loving country!
Arriving in the Forest Nation, Kumoko and Elliot didn't have to worry too much about the Demon Lord's immediate pursuit.
However, neither Elliot nor Kumoko knew that just after they left, Administrator Gülie had told Demon Lord Ariel their destination.
After all, Elliot had only asked him to delay Ariel, not to keep their whereabouts a secret from her. So, the seemingly honest Gülie had, without a shred of guilt, spilled all the information about their heading to the elf territory.
In the not-too-distant future, this forest would be completely trampled by the Demon Lord's army...
Elliot and Kumoko were walking through a forest. This was already elf territory. The elves in this primordial forest nation were skilled in magic and archery.
But ever since Potimas used MA Energy to evolve himself into an elf-like species, Potimas and a small faction of his elf followers had surprisingly taken a technological route.
This was just ridiculously out of place. Imagine elves wielding machine guns, piloting Gundams, equipped with radios and night vision goggles, fiercely battling other races.
Elliot felt an unparalleled sense of incongruity. Yes, under Potimas's leadership, many elves had abandoned magic and turned to technology.
"Technology is the primary productive force," as they say. Under Potimas, the elves continuously climbed the technology tree, while some traditionalist elves also made achievements in magic.
