According to Azzy's knowledge, the Elf race went extinct long ago. The Supreme Commander of WAMO is known to the world as the last remaining elf. From the Reaper, Azzy got to learn that Louis was also an elf. That makes only two of them.
It is why an appearance of an elf at the clan greatly shocked him. However, it appeared that the guest wasn't pleased by his reaction.
The 6-foot fair-skinned elf with a slender build, violet eyes, and silver hair, spoke in an aloof tone, "I'm not an elf, human… I'm a Celestial elf, the tribe with the highest standing even among the high elves (royalty)."
The strikingly handsome-looking guy (both from human and elf standards) spoke to Azzy in a tone as if he was scolding him for being disrespectful by addressing him as a mere elf.
Azzy read about the elf tribes, recorded in the Book of Death.
According to what he had read, the Elves are primarily divided into three classes. The Divine Elves, the High elves, and the common elves.
The divine elves or the immortal elves are from the Celestial Empire (Heaven). Just like the angels, the elven gods were born at the beginning of time. From time to time, their descendants will descend onto the worlds of humans and mate with them to give rise to the elf race.
These half-divine elves/ half-humans were called the High elves. Since all the divine elves were different from each other, their traits will also end up different. As a result, various tribes were formed among the High Elves.
The High elves were further divided into Celestial elves, Star elves, Moon elves, Sun elves, and Dark elves. Although all of them have the blood of humans in their veins, they were still called pure blood.
Then, the descendants of these high elves with human ancestors and other elves gave rise to 15 different common elf tribes. Azzy's former teammate (Louis) and Azzy's current boss (Kruger) belonged to these common tribes.
Of course, this doesn't mean that elves are weaker or less talented than high elves or anything. As one can see, Supreme Commander Kruger, despite being an elf of the grey tribe, is a Supreme realm expert.
Azzy knew what a celestial elf is and how much of a royalty this guy is but they were currently at the Death Clan village. The status of others doesn't mean anything here and every outsider who was allowed to step here is a guest. And every guest is equal.
Hence, he didn't bother to comment about it and just went with introductions. After all, the Garcia Palace was his home, meaning he is also a host. "I'm Azrael Garcia."
"Noted." The elf nodded in response but didn't say his name. Instead, he asked, "main family or branch family?"
"Main family," replied Azzy while wondering whether this guy probably had a superiority complex.
"Noted." The elf nodded without a change in his expression or tone and questioned Azzy once again, this time about his profession, "What do you do here? Any designation?"
"Nothing. Just a resident at this house." Azzy shook his head in response. He was saying the truth, after all. He was neither the clan heir nor was he assigned any duty by the clan head.
Judging by the way the elf was speaking to him, Azzy expected to receive negative comments but instead, the elf broke into a smile and clapped as he said with an excited look, "then, you'll be my tour guide. I'll put a word or two with your clan head to make sure you will be rewarded for your efforts." *Ahem*
Perhaps, he realized that he was behaving out of character. The elf quickly became aloof once again and calmly said, "Wait here. I'll go fresh up and return."
*slam*
After finishing his monologue, the elf slammed the door in Azzy's face and went for the bathroom.
"Huh?" Azzy blankly stared at the door, wondering whether there was something wrong with this fellow's brain.
Not intending to entertain the elf even if the latter is a Supreme realm expert, he decided to leave that place but didn't expect the Reaper to stop him from leaving.
The Reaper told that celestial elves aren't simple high elves. They descended from an Archangel and the Elf race's primary deity, Aerdrie Faenya.
"An Archangel? You mean like Claire's dad?" Azzy asked the Reaper. He knew nothing about the Archangels either. A few years ago, he learned about the hidden clans, elves, and angels but only learned basic things about them.
"You can say so," The Reaper continued to explain, "The fact that Faenya's blood running through their veins put them into high elves and were given the highest rank.
As a species of nature, the high elves normally excel in connecting with natural energy.
Adding on top of that, due to the presence of angelic blood, the direct descendants would even have a high possibility of invoking divine energy.
The person you have met isn't that special. He is a 3500-year-old young elf with only a low-rank-9 soul realm. But still, he would be the next leader of all the Elves, considering he is the only one who came along with the current leader.
One day, you will lead this clan and when that happens, this fellow will be your ally. Even when your father becomes the clan head, sometimes, you might have to attend the meeting as the representative. It won't be the last time you will see each other. So, you might as well acquaint yourself with him."
Azzy understood the Reaper's explanation but it wasn't enough for him to degrade himself to become a servant (tour guide). However, he still ended up listening to the Reaper and waited outside the door until the door opens again.
"Shall we go?" The elf became aloof once again.
Azzy nodded and escorted him to the Night clan directly upon remembering the perfect person for this job.
For a celestial elf that lives in a peaceful-looking environment, the clan compound full of assassins is something that is akin to a butcher shop.
The elf quickly pinched his nose in disgust and halted his footsteps at the entrance of the clan. "This place reeks of blood…" he commented, taking Azzy by surprise.
Azzy looked at him and introduced, "this is the Night clan. And we aren't here to tour around this place. We are here to meet a friend of mine. He is needed if you want to tour around the clan since his face is well known to everyone, compared to mine."
Azzy didn't lie but just emphasized in a way that the elf misunderstands his position. Just like he expected, the elf only concluded that the kid beside him is nothing more than a bum without any influence in the clan.
His behavior turned more arrogant and he warned Azzy in a cold tone, "Then, you go and fetch him. I'll wait here. And don't make me wait long. Or else, you will face the consequences."
Azzy clenched his fist but he stayed silent, not wanting to tarnish the reputation of his clan. Giving respect for the elf's position and age, he then walked into the clan and brought Aspen with him in about ten minutes.
