BXBX NOVEL Chapter 178 A Golden Elf
Because the moment someone crosses the Dark Woodland, they will step out of the safety of Rare Freedom Plains, where Dark Being from the Wild Nation couldn\'t infiltrate.
The four powers had collectively built a thick wall called the Dark Pass, and their army bases were also behind this Dark Pass Wall. Anyone who wanted to leave the Dark Pass could as long as the four powers didn\'t want them.
But returning to the safety of the Dark Pass was another matter entirely.
Nevertheless, those brave, adventurous souls still dared to venture into those unknown territories, and some of them were also the people who either didn\'t want to be restrained by the four power or simply didn\'t fear death.
After all, the plains outside the Rare Freedom Plains were much more extensive and unexplored.
At this time, it was already night, but the Golden Swords Dark Pass was lit like the day in arena lights soldiers were patrolling the area, and many huge spotlights were placed on top of army base buildings constructed in the ample space.
It was simply a colossal army compound under the jurisdiction of Golden Swords Army and the most heavenly guarded place after the star ocean.
Amidst this compound was a vast road that led toward the huge metal gates in the dark pass where many barricades were established.
At this moment, a capped figure walked into the spotlight of the compound gate, which was directly linked with the road that led to the rare freedom plains exit.
"Half! Show your face, or we\'ll open fire!" A loud voice warned before more spotlights locked on this capped figure.
There were two barricades beside these gates, and the soldiers within them pointed their adult rifles at this capped figure.
"Don\'t shoot you, idiots!" The capped figure sneered loudly before he removed the cape from his head and revealed his peerless handsome face, especially the long golden hair.
Those guard soldiers instantly lowered their weapons, "So, it is, Sir. Elf, please forgive us. We were following the protocol!"
Golden Elves had an extremely high status in Golden Swords Country. They were akin to rulers, if put more bluntly.
Because the Golden Elves were one of the strongest races proficient in magic and were born with magic talent, even their untalented members had magic talent.
So, the Golden Elves had high-ranking military members all over the Golden Swords Country, and only two clans could compare, but they were still lacking in the splendor of this race.
Not only that, but the Elves had extinguished appearances, and they easily stood out in the crowd, so impersonating them was almost impossible. The Golden Elves had golden hair, so they were even more easily recognized.
Lastly, the Elves were innately arrogant because of their talent and appearance and looked down on every other race, so this Elf\'s vain words didn\'t make those soldiers offend.
They all knew offending a Golden Elf in the Golden Swords Country was akin to putting on a misery magnet because they were also quite protective of their race!
The Golden Elf sneered with disdain before covering his head again and moving toward the guard past.
A troll soldier quickly pressed a button, and the steel gates started to open. Two more trolls were standing there to receive this Elf.
"Sir, please follow us. We\'ll arrange lodging and dinner for you." One of them said with respect since they knew pleasing an elf was the easiest way to climb the ranks.
The Elf, however, had other plans as he coldly commanded, "I want to leave the Dark Pass for training. Arrange it quickly, don\'t waste my time!"
Those soldiers were shocked, "T-This? Please wait. I\'ll arrange a guard unit for you."
They knew just how dangerous the lands outside the dark past were, and an elf leaving alone there was quite a rare sight. They didn\'t even come here, much less go for training.
They all live in the safety of the central province and solemnly come here, but they come with a huge bandwagon and high-ranking members. This Elf was clearly an anomaly, but they still arranged a guard until it was not difficult for an elf.
"No need. Do you think I\'ll need you idiots out there to slow me down or drag me to die with you?" The Elf mocked as he suddenly showed his Star Watch, and there was an emblem lit within.
When those two guards saw that emblem, their eyes went wide, "T-two-star Nightmare Magic Knight?!"
A Two-Star Nightmare Magic Knight was even rarer than a Two-Star Nightmare Fighter Knight, and even the elf race only had a little over a hundred of them.
So this guy was clearly of high status within the golden elf clan, so they quickly sprang into action and didn\'t dare to risk angering him.
Soon. an army jeep was arranged, and the Elf sat in the back seat while the troll soldier drove him toward the other side.
"Tell me, what do you know about the dark city on the other side?" The Elf suddenly questioned.
This question caught the troll off guard, but he quickly regained his calm and replied with uncertainty, "I don\'t know much, Sir. But according to rumors, the Dark City exists somewhere in the Rare Wilderness Plains, but no one has ever confirmed it since the way toward it is simply too dangerous.
"But the news spread a few years ago that whoever goes to the dark city of the rare plains will never return. Ultimately, this news was declared a prank by some degenerate skull.
"However, like the Dark City in Rare Freedom Plains, it also existed in the rare plains out there, but those guys are simply too mysterious and never gave in to anyone, not even three hegemonies."
The troll sneered with discontent. He was clearly unhappy with the arrogance of the dark city, which didn\'t give anyone a face.
The Elf grunted and didn\'t speak again, and the troll didn\'t dare to speak without permission.
Thereupon, they reached the end of the road, and when those inspectors saw it was an elf, they didn\'t even ask for his id scan and let them pass with some words of caution.
The troll stopped the jeep in front of a small gate within the massive metal gate.
The Elf disembarked the jeep and walked toward the gate, where he heard a deep voice, "Are you sure you want to go alone?"
"Just open the fucking thing. Why are you all questioning this lord\'s capabilities?" The Elf coldly stated.
"Very well, please place your star watch identity badge in front of the scanner." The voice rang again.
The Elf put his wrist on the dark screen attached to the wall, and after the scanning was complete, the metal gate suddenly started to make loud clanging sounds before it slid open.
"We\'ll await your return." The voice rang again.
"Hmph." The Elf snorted before he flashed past the open gate and vanished into the darkness.

In the dark pass army compound, a burly orc was frowning as he looked at the Elf leaving the dark pass.
He pressed on his star watch, and suddenly an annoying voice rang, "What is it, Deputy General? It\'s the middle of the night, don\'t tell me those pricks are attacking the wall again?"
"I was just contacting you to inform you about a Golden Elf, probably an Elf Elder, leaving the dark pass just moments ago, alone." The orc plainly stated.
"What? Did he tell you the reason?" The annoying voice suddenly turned stern.
"Do you think an Elf Elder will tell me anything?" The orc questioned meaningfully.
"Ah, that arrogant of those guys. Sigh… since he left on his own accord, it had nothing to do with us. Just keep the recording of it if those elves come to haunt us. That recording will work like a charm." The voice chuckled coldly.
"My thought exactly. Good night General." The orc cut the connection.
But he frowned while mumbling, "Why do I have this feeling that this matter is far from simple?"

On the other side of the Dark Pass, the golden Elf was moving between the trees agilely as the distance between him and the dark pass was increasing.
After moving a few miles away from the dark pass, the Elf stopped in front of a small water source hidden between the wild vegetation.
The cloak on him magically vanished, revealing his handsome appearance. Suddenly he held his pointy ears, and with a push, those pointy ears detached from his natural human ears.
Not only that, but he started to wash his hair, the golden color started to dissipate in water, and the golden hair turned silver; after washing his face, all the makeup on it also came out.
His lips curled into a derisive smile as he looked at his reflection on the water\'s surface.
It was none other than Jacob!
