Ethereal Ascendance: A Journey of Transformation(Vol 5)

Vol 5/Chapter 57: Distributing Supplies

"Wayne Peng?"

When I heard this name, it vaguely sounded familiar to me. I remembered that I had a classmate in high school with the same name. And as I looked closer, this person did seem to resemble what I vaguely remembered. Could it really be him?

Despite my curiosity, the current situation made it hard to ask directly, so I had to put the question aside for now.

"What is your purpose in coming to our world?" Elder Betty stepped forward and asked. As the former village chief, she wasn't too happy about Karati allowing these Earthlings to enter so easily. Even though they had treated the villagers and shown goodwill, Betty had seen too much of human cunning, so she handled matters with more caution.

"The Ilandra Empire of this world brazenly invaded our land in H-country, causing significant casualties and economic losses. To protect the lives and property of our people, we must seek justice from the one behind it all," Wayne Peng's response was firm and unwavering. In short, their main goal was to confront Emperor Reider.

The Light Elf tribe had never liked the Empire, so naturally, they wouldn't oppose H-country's intentions; in fact, they were quite pleased.

"But what will you do after you've sought justice?"

Mia couldn't help but frown as she asked. She was concerned not just about the Empire, but also about the potential unknown effects these powerful outsiders might have on the continent.

If the army from another world exacts their justice, or if they defeat and occupy the Empire and stay in this world, it would surely cause unease among other nations. To be prepared, it was necessary to clarify things early on.

"Don't worry, we come with peaceful intentions. Our nation can assure you that we will never initiate any form of war! We seek close ties, mutual benefits, and a win-win relationship. If all goes well, we can even establish trade and cooperation, laying a strong foundation for friendship between our worlds!"

Wayne Peng clearly had prepared his answer for such questions. He replied without hesitation, with words that sounded beautiful, though whether Mia believed them was another matter.

The Light Elf tribe, being just a small village, wasn't too concerned about what these Earthlings' real intentions might be. But the various gifts brought along with the Earth army definitely opened everyone's eyes.

There were all sorts of daily necessities, like Earth's shampoos, shower gels, skincare products, phones, hair dryers, induction cookers, small generators, books, and other cultural items.

"Amazing! These things are really magical! But I can't feel any light or dark elements in them. Are they not magical devices?"

Even Irene, usually so aloof, was dazzled by the variety of items, joining the crowd with curiosity, fiddling with all the little gadgets.

"This is a type of cosmetic that our women on Earth love to use. I'm not sure if you have anything like it here? But even if you do, feel free to try ours, you might find it even better. When we start trading, you can import it in large quantities!" The female translator approached me, trying to "sell" me the product. She seemed very skilled at this, likely having visited several other human villages before coming to us.

"Uh, no, thank you..."

I wasn't particularly interested in such items, and I didn't want her to realize that I was already quite familiar with them. So I pointed to a few electronic products on the other side, which didn't seem to attract much attention, and asked deliberately.

"What's that called? It looks interesting!"

"You're interested in that? Alright..."

The female translator seemed a bit disappointed but quickly regained her enthusiasm and brought over a mobile phone to explain. "This is called a mobile phone! It's a communication tool we use daily on Earth to stay in touch with friends and family far away. But I'm afraid you don't have electricity here? Although we've provided a small generator, it might not be enough..."
