Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 379: Between a rock and hardplace Part1

When Charlotte finally opened her eyes, it was already the next morning and her jaw fell on the ground seeing the two elven assholes waiting next to her.

“Hey! Did you do something to me while I was in deep meditation?” She pointed her finger at Xavier and angrily asked, as he was the one who she didn’t trust the most among the two brothers.

“The heck?” Xavier jumped up, offended by the accusation. “Damn it. I was the one who made him wait for you alright. Can’t you be a little bit more grateful?”

“Hmph. Whatever. I don’t have time for you right now. I need to go look for her.” Charlotte scoffed at him and walked away.

Xander threw his head back up and loudly chuckled, before wordlessly standing up and walking away as well, leaving behind the poor dumbfounded elf.

“Are you satisfied now? Stop laughing already! Grrr.” Xavier grumbled and quickened his pace to join his brother.

The three of them walked together, ahem… separately, heading further into the land. 

Beyond the sandy shores of the beach, were lush trees and after the three walked past the small forest, they came across a town of sorts.

“Let’s go look for some information there,” Xander told Xavier who nodded his head and the third party seemed to be headed in the same direction as well.

After a walking a while, the three directly entered the town, and against their expectations, there wasn’t any sort of border patrol or entrance fee for the town.

It seemed that they really did not care who entered or exited the small town. 

The streets were paved and smoothened out and were quite crowded with people walking about here and there.

The three elves were on high alert as they might be possibly stepping into the hostile human territory but everyone around them seemed to barely care about them.

There were all sorts of higher beings loitering the streets around them including human beings, dwarves, elves, lizard men, rabbit women.

They were dressed in similar robes and armors and even spoke in the same language. 

Xavier’s eyes were almost twinkling with a boundless delight. “Bro, we have stumbled into uncharted territories!”

“Oh my gosh, I have never seen these many furry beauties. Ah! My eyes have been blessed!” His head was craning from left to right and his grin from ear to ear.

Ignoring the idiot standing next to him, Xander looked around and muttered. “Let’s go get some information in a local inn.”

Unlike his brother, he was not in a mood to appreciate anything. Something didn’t exactly sit well with him.

Sure, the mana quality was different here, and probably because of that the beasts and the higher beings here might be stronger, but otherwise, this land might as well have been a part of Eldoria or any of the nine countries.

There was no war. There was no violence and more importantly, the humans seemed to be smoothly coexisting with the other races.

This was in fact the complete opposite of what they were lead to believe.

“Brother, see that is a tavern over there.” Xavier pointed, to which Xander nodded. “A tavern it is.” 

The two brothers proceeded towards an inn with a signboard that had a wooden mug on it and read ‘The Drunken Bear’.

The two brothers and of course, Charlotte pushed the door open and entered. 

It was a simple and tidy looking wooden inn with an unpretentious yet warm feeling about it.

The establishment had only about a dozen tables and there were at least 20 people inside. 

The rich aroma of ale filled the room and with the lively cheering, it looked like everyone was having a good time.

And once again, a medley of races were sitting inside, without the slightest hints of division.

Xander and Xavier took a seat at one of the empty tables and Charlotte sat down beside them. 

She would have preferred to sit at another table, but there wasn’t one available. So she silently sat down with the two elves.

A waitress immediately flitted over towards them and she was a rabbit girl with long rosy fluffy ears, purple round eyes, and fair complexion.

She wore revealing clothes, that particular accentuated her ample bosom and Xavier immediately lost track of his goal.

“Ah, my dear. What a sad life I have been living without ever having laid my eyes on a beauty like you?”

Both Xander and Charlotte simultaneously twisted their lips, revealing an annoyed expression.

At first, they waited for him to end the shenanigans soon, but the shameless elf continued flirting with the bunny girl until her cheeks flushed pink.

Since Xavier was very skilled, the two hit it off quite well almost instantly. 

Not having the patience to deal with this nonsense any longer, Xander sighed and pinched him on his thigh under the table.

“Charlotte! What the hell?” Xavier’s eyes widened and he immediately assumed that it was Charlotte who had pinched him. 

“Why are you pinching me? I am sorry, but my heart belongs to this woman here.”

Charlotte ground her teeth, really close to losing it, and gave him a death glare which made Xavier shut up.

The three of them then ordered some servings of food and ale. 

Inns were always the best place to gather information and local gossip, so the trio silently sat and keenly tried to observe the conversations around them.

They first needed to know the lay of the land and details about everything in order to even guess where Tang Yue could have gone.

Just from the looks of it, the place didn’t seem as dangerous but all three of them were grown adults and they were well aware of how sometimes looks could be deceiving.

Things might seem harmonious on the outside but that didn’t mean some sort of weird hierarchy did not lie underneath.

So all three had their ears glued to the other people sitting around them and eavesdropped without any restraint.
