Chapter 1137: Surprising summons
A few days passed since that banquet.
During that time, there were other tribes that came to visit the Harakka Tribe to come and see
us.
These were the tribes that had bought from us previously at the giant market and had come to see if we would sell them anything else.
It wasn't all of the tribes in the area that came.
There was a group that didn't come to visit the Harakka Tribe.
This was the group that was led by the Korin Tribe that seemed to be hostile towards the Harakka Tribe. They were also the group that seemed to be against interacting with humans completely.
They didn't buy anything from us previously, so it was only natural that they wouldn't buy anything from us now.
The only surprising thing was how they didn't try to do anything.
It was as if they were completely leaving us alone, which was a strange thing.
I would have thought that at least Dorian would want to try something once he knew that I
was back. Especially with the news that the Vale Tribe had been spending quite a bit of time at the Harakka Tribe.
With his feelings towards Isra...
But it turned out that nothing was happening.
As for the reason for that...
It was because Olos and Olmir had left the Harakka Tribe the day after the banquet was over. The tribe was being held down by a few elders and Alidus who stepped up to take the position of replacement chief.
The two of them didn't abandon the Harakka Tribe, but rather they made the journey into the heart of the Land of Giants to see the elders.
These elders were the ones that were the highest power in the giant race, so they didn't dare to do anything when the elders were involved. Once the elders were involved, all of the tribes had no choice but to act honestly.
That included the Korin Tribe.
Though if the elders weren't interested in this matter anymore...then it would be hard to say what would happen.
For now, it would all depend on what Olos and Olmir had to say once they came back from their trip to see the elders.
That was what happened a few days after the banquet.
While everyone was busy trading, Olos and Olmir came back silently and summoned everyone to a meeting.
That included Isra's mother and father who represented the Vale Tribe.
When we arrived at the meeting, everyone was surprised to hear their report.
"They want to see me?" I slowly asked in a confused voice while everyone looked at me with a strange look.
Olos and Olmir slowly nodded in agreement as they had strange looks on their faces.
Seeing that no one said anything, I slowly asked, "Why?"
Both Olos and Olmir slowly shook their heads to show that they didn't know.
In their meeting with the elders, they had reported everything about the demons and their relationship with the humans.
After hearing this, the elders said that they would need some time to deliberate on what to do about the demons which was what they had expected.
What they didn't expect to hear was that the elders actually said that they wanted to meet Zwein.
Olos and Olmir took a chance and asked the elders why they wanted to meet him, but the elders just simply said...
"It's because we're interested in him."
Olos and Olmir had no idea what this meant or if it was even good or bad, but the elders had dismissed them before they could ask anything else.
"What do you make of this situation?" I asked the two of them with a serious look on my face.
They didn't say anything at first as looks of thought appeared on their faces. They just continued looking like they were thinking about it for a bit before both of them suddenly gave sighs.
The two of them both shook their heads and Olos slowly said, "It's impossible to figure out what the elders are thinking. All we know is that they want to meet you..."
The two of them looked at me again with strange looks.
I looked back at them and slowly asked, "Do they want to hurt me?"
Neither of them said anything at first, but they eventually shook their heads and said, "The elders wouldn't do something like that for no reason."
Though it did feel like there were traces of hesitation in their voices as they said this.
This did make me feel a bit anxious, but...
"Alright, I'll go and meet them." I said with a sigh.
I could feel someone grabbing my arm in concern when I said this, but I didn't turn back to look since I had already made up my mind.
Olos and Olmir looked at me with surprised looks, but they eventually nodded in agreement after seeing the look on my face.
"I'll go too." Alidus suddenly said as if he was showing his support.
It was just that Olos and Olmir shook their heads before saying, "No, you can't go. Even if you go, they won't see you since you're not authorized to see them."
Alidus knitted his brows and looked like he wanted to say something else, but Olos cut him off by saying, "It's not your time yet. Don't force this matter. Just the sentiment is enough." Though he still seemed like he was a bit unwilling to accept this, he didn't say anything in the end.
Once everyone seemed like they didn't have anything to say, I looked at them and asked, "When do we leave?"
Olos and Olmir thought about it before Olos said, "It's best if we leave as soon as possible. This matter is important if they're summoning you. Even without that, the demons won't wait forever, so we should settle this matter as soon as possible."
I gave a slow nod to show my agreement.
Though I could still feel the hand that was gripping my arm.
