Chapter 327 - "An Unwanted Item"
The host was sweating non-stop. He received an order from above that he had to sell the elf no matter how. Of course, it should be sold at the auction and not at the market.
Unfortunately, the guests didn't seem interested in buying the elf!
Even Ainsley, who was watching the whole event, was also confused. She looked back and saw the guild masters also didn't make any bidding even though they bid some items previously.
Why are they not interested? That's an elf...it should be rare, right? Even though that's a criminal and an abandoned elf with weird skin, it's still an elf!
Of course, people didn't see how this blue-skinned elf was an elf.
Elves were supposed to be pretty, even prettier than fairies. However, this guy right here looked like a normal human being.
He couldn't be considered an elf from his look alone. If only he didn't have those pointed ears. No one would believe that he's an elf!
Out of curiosity, Ainsley looked up at Jake and tugged the man's hair.
"Zack, Zack. Why is everyone not intewested in the elf? That's an elf, right? Isn't it a wawe (rare) species hele?"
Because the ocean separated countless races in this world, and each race occupied one continent, it's hard to meet other races without going out of the continent.
The elven continent was miles away from the human continent and the elves wouldn't go to the human continent without any important business.
Even the trade was done through the Billios Family. The majority of humans have never seen an elf up close!
Elves might as well stay as a fantasy being compared to fairies who lived among the humans.
Of course, the fairies actually lived on another continent too, but there would be a batch coming to the human continent each year.
That's how the humans could make a contract with a fairy and get their protection.
Thus, Ainsley didn't understand why there's no one interested in this elf? This is the legendary elf!
She herself was about to bid but hesitated because no one wanted the elf...
What if that's not an elf but a fake and everyone knew about it? That's her concern.
Seeing Ainsley's confusion, Jake chuckled and pinched the baby's cheek. He then lowered his head and whispered softly.
"I have already expected the elf to be unpopular...despite being an elf, and that's not because he's a criminal."
Jake slowly looked at the stage where the elf stayed and let out a sigh.
"You see his skin? An elf's skin shouldn't be blue. It should be like humans but fairer. There's also an elf tribe with darker skin colour, and that's unique. But this elf…"
Jake paused a bit, contemplating how he should explain the things with the elf skin colour.
"Uh...well, you see. That elf...is a mutant."
"A...mutant? But isn't that cool? Mutant monstels are also stwong…" Ainsley tilted her head, and Jake replied with a bitter smile on his face.
"Unlike mutant monsters, a mutant elf means he's not only a mix-breed, but the other breed's bloodline inside his body should be that of a demon!"
Because to get that blue skin, one had to marry other species that had coloured skin other than dark and fair skin.
Red, green, blue, purple, and other colourful skin colours could only be found among the demons!
When Ainsley heard about the demons, the baby flinched. She immediately recalled what she read in the book about mythical beings.
Demons indeed exist in this world, and they occupied a hidden continent named the abyss. Rumours said that the monsters were born because of the demons' miasma.
The Beast Continent was close to the abyss, and the newborn beast contaminated by the demon's miasma became monsters.
They lost their intelligence and were berserk to the bone.
They started to hate humans because the Beast Continent also had the beast people races, where beasts and humans crossbreed.
Thus, the first humans they would come to hate are usually the beast people.
The monsters usually gathered at the outskirts of the Beast Continent because the beasts chased them out, but dimensional crack caused by the demons could send these monsters everywhere.
That's how monsters came to the human continent, along with some beasts mixed there.
It happened a long, long time ago, and now, the beasts in the human continent have already become so many that it has become an ordinary sight for humans.
On the other hand, the monsters kept coming from the dimensional cracks, and they also bred super fast, becoming a sort of danger for the humans.
Without monster tamers, humans would be in a more dangerous situation than now.
"You see, humans hate the demons because of the dimensional crack that the demons casually open randomly. That's why, when we see this elf…"
Jake sucked in the cold air and sighed.
"No one really wanted this elf exactly because of this. His blue skin is also seen as irritable in everyone's eyes. And I bet he becomes a criminal because he has a demon bloodline."
After all, the elves also hated the demons and would never let their brethren of any tribes and species to marry the demons, no matter what the reasons.
Thus, for such a mutant guy to exist, it's already a blessing that he's not killed yet. Must be because his family background was somewhat complicated.
Hearing Jake's explanation, only then Ainsley realised why no one wanted to buy the elf.
She didn't know anything about a demon except from books, but as a human, she also subconsciously disliked the demons.
Thus, if this elf had a demon bloodline in his body, that might be dangerous someday, ah!
