I was currently being carried away by a group of elves with my hands and feet tied up.

Let's just hope they are just taking me as a prisoner, and they are not some weird group of elves with strange fetishes.

"Hey, We heard you, f*cker!" One of the elves said to me in an angry tone.

Seems like I was speaking out loud my thoughts...

Whoops.

"You are currently being brought to our capital Fedolas, we need to interrogate you for your motives in being here"

"Can't you do that right here and save us the whole trip?"

"We can, but it's better not being inside this forest for long, who knows how long will it take us to interrogate you"

"Can I leave after that?"

"We will see after the interrogation"

Well, at least there's hope...

"Also, could you tell your small friend to stop trying to kill us?" He said while dodging sightly to the side when a small shadow flew past him.

Neo was currently attacking them with all his might, however, their reflexes were a bit too fast for his attacks to even land on them.

"Neo, lets just follow them for now, you can attack them after I'm free from this ropes" I said while showing him the ropes tied up around my hands and feet

"We can still hear you human"

"Oh come on, It was a small joke, hehehe..." I said while smiling dumbly at them.

"Alright..."

After he stopped looking at us, Neo and me nodded at each other.

It took us a few hours, however, in the end we arrived at the capital of the elf Kingdom, Fedolas.

Seriously, how far was I from the actual human territory...? For the trip to just take us a few hours...

The architecture of every building inside was... exotic...

If I was to use one word to describe them, then it could be the word "Ecological". Plants and trees coming out from almost every building in this city, some even being the building itself.

As for the people here... They were... well, their ancestor seemed to had pretty good genes...

Almost all of their faces were what you could say perfectly symmetrical and beautiful, however, they were still different between themselves.

Truly a sight to behold, especially the female elves.

Luckily, I already surpassed that hellish phase that was puberty. Not gonna lie, it was horrible to have my hormones go uncontrolled every time I saw a voluptuous woman.

I almost went to a brothel just to ease these hormones of mine, however, probably thanks to my [Mental stability] stat and my perseverance, I managed to not do anything rash in all these years.

Truly my most horrible years.

So right now I was only admiring their beauty as I didn't felt romantically attracted in the slightest to these ladies.

Heck, some of these girls may even be a thousand years old grandmas...

Not that I was a young man anymore... I was mentally on my forties and physically on my twenties, so I was not so different to these guys.

Sigh...

*Tuth!*

"Ouch, what was that for?!" I said while grabbing the back of my head after being hit by one of the elves accompanying me.

"Stop ogling at the ladies" He said while looking at me with a grin on his face.

This fucker is enjoying it...

"I was not."

"Yeah, right." He said before walking ahead.

*Sigh...*

I just hope this ends quickly...

...

The surrounding people were looking at me in an amazed and curious way.

I felt like an animal on a zoo.

"I guess you don't receive that many human visitors huh?" I said while glancing at who seemed to be the leader of the group.

"You are the first after some years, so it's understandable that they are curious, especially the children"

"Oh..." 

Well, I was enjoying the tour through the whole city as well, the curiosity of being inside a city of elves was overwhelming

But before I could continue appreciating the sight of the city, we arrived in front of a small castle made of stone. The gates opened and revealed a small path that led to a beautiful garden.

Green grass, flowers everywhere, and an enormous tree in the center of the garden.

Truly a beautiful garden, however, while looking at my surroundings I noticed that we were not alone.

A woman was sitting there, humming what seemed to be an elvish song while watering the surrounding flowers. She wore red robes that covered part of her blond hair, and had a beautiful golden collar on her neck that seemed to shine along with the sun.

"Good afternoon Madam Elysia" The leader of the group said before bowing lightly to the woman.

"Oh, it's you Alyem, you came back quite early this time." She said before her eyes turned to look at me with astonishment.

"Who is this human you have brought here?" She said while eyeing me from head to toe.

"This human was hanging around our territory suspiciously, so we decided to bring him here for an interrogation. He used Natural control magic and has what we think is a summoned being next to him" He said while pointing at Neo.

She looked at us for a while with squinted eyes, like thinking about something.

"Indeed, this bird has a connection to the summoning dimension, as for the human... I must say that you found really an interesting human roaming around our territory" She finally said after some akward silence.

"What do you mean madam?" The guy named Alyem said with a curious look on his face while looking at me.

"His connection to nature is even bigger than mine" She said with a grim look on her face.

"WHAT?!" All the elves shouted at the same time, even the silent ones ended up yelling like the other guys.

Seems like I attracted the attention of a big shot huh?

Let's just hope that after this interrogation there won't be any young master waiting to "Courting death" me, nor any battle junkie trying to fight me because of this Connection to nature thingy.

"B-but your connection to nature is the highest ever recorded in the whole history of this kingdom! Similar in level even to the dryads of the legends!"

"I know, but that doesn't change the fact that his connection is a lot higher than mine. It is so high that i'm starting to doubt that he is really a human and not a dryad."

The elves that captured me started having complicated expressions on their faces, and after a small conversation between them, they freed me from the ropes tying me up.

"We elves coexist and live in harmony with nature, and as you have been chosen by it, then it could be disrespectful to nature on our part to treat you like that" He explained

"No problem... so... can I leave now...?"

"No, we still need you to go under the interrogation just to make sure this is not a trick to make us believe that you are connected to nature in such a way, after that, you are totally free to explore this city or to leave immediately."

"Alright..." I said in a dejected tone.

"Please sit here" The woman named Elysia said to me while pointing in front of me.

When I sat in front of her she began chanting a strange magic in my direction.

A small blue ball of light flew slowly from her hands to my head. However, when it was supposed to enter inside my head it just stopped advancing like there was something blocking its path.

"What a strong mind!, It started blocking my magic immediately when it sensed it trying to enter your mind"

"Umm what are you trying to do...?" I said with suspicion on my voice.

I mean, what kind of magic could need to enter inside my mind to work?!

"I'm trying to use interrogation magic, so that I know when you are lying to us. I need you to control your mind and allow the magic to enter"

Eh... I'm kinda reluctant to let some weird magic enter inside my mind just like that.

But, it's not like I can escape from this city without completing this interrogation...

What should I do...?

...

Well, I guess that as I was able to stop the magic from entering, I will be able to stop it from working if I feel that is something dangerous.

"Alright" I said while relaxing my mind and allowing the magic to enter.

A strange cold feeling appeared on my head, it was kinda refreshing, Like entering a cold building with air conditioner in a hot day of summer.

"Fuuu... okay, its finished, shall we begin the interrogation?" The woman named Elysia said while cleaning some sweat on her forehead.

"Bring it on"
