She didn't even turn her head, instead showing a look of irritation on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock, knock, knock!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vina tapped on the table. Hearing this, the plump woman had no choice but to put down her book and turn to face her, saying impatiently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's nothing to eat here. If you want food, go to town.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But isn't this an inn?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is an inn supposed to feed you? Be glad you have a place to stay. Stop bothering me, you hear?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plump woman ignored Vina, picked up her tattered book, and started reading again, chuckling to herself from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Vina didn't pursue the question. She glanced out the door—it had just turned dark, so there was probably still time to buy something to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, Vina left the inn and looked around the dark, run-down slums.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, there was nowhere to buy food here, so she had to head toward the center of town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon reaching the main street, Vina was met with the bustling night scene of Jones City. Vendors lined the commercial street, most of them selling human cuisine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vina stopped at a random shop and bought dinner for four. She was about to head back when the sudden sound of hooves rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked toward the source and saw the once tightly closed main gates now wide open. Outside, a merchant caravan burst into town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Vina saw the golden emblem on the lead carriage, her eyes widened—she knew that emblem all too well!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the slaver's emblem!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Make way, out of the way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mounted guards scattered the crowd, clearing a path for the caravan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon realizing these were the human slavers who hunted elves, Vina instinctively shrank back to avoid being discovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as she was preparing to slip away, the chatter in the crowd caught her attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, those really are elves!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vina stopped in her tracks at those words and turned to the group talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've never seen so many elves in my life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, just look at those pointy-eared folks; each one more exquisite than the next. If I could take one home, tsk, tsk, tsk...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In your dreams. You think you could marry an elf? Do you know how expensive that is? It'll never happen for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, listen to yourself. I was just talking. Who'd actually marry one of those foreigners? They're just playthings, nothing more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd kept talking, and their words stabbed deeply into Vina's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a time when her people, the elves, wouldn't have suffered such humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this were the elven empire of the southern continent, any human who dared insult the great ancient guardians—the elves—would have been put to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was the Ailera Empire, a human nation built on slavery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, those weak or abandoned by the Elven Empire were nothing but toys; hunting and abusing elves was commonplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, this wasn't what infuriated Vina the most. She looked toward the caged wagons at the rear of the caravan—seeing elves bound and chained, she clenched her teeth in rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes blazed with fury!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing those elves—tied up, bound, even abused—a powerful urge rose within Vina. And when she recognized several familiar faces within the cages, her fury reached its peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dorulu, Dolusam, Ephis—it's everyone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calling out the familiar names, Vina covered her mouth in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, the elves inside the cages were none other than the Darkmoon Clan elves who had been captured before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as the caravan passed through the crowd, a female elf in one of the cages seemed to sense something. She looked to the side and spotted a mysterious figure in a mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the person was masked, Dorulu recognized that unique natural energy—it was definitely one of their own!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Dorulu looked excitedly in Vina's direction, her eyes full of hope. In her view, Vina's presence here had to mean she'd come to rescue them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the carriage kept moving, Dorulu's line of sight stretched further and further back, until finally she could no longer see Vina at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Save them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Vina's only thought. She decided to rush back to the inn to inform the queen, then figure out a way to rescue her people. Their Queen Serea was so powerful—there would definitely be no problem!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the caravan rolled off into the distance, a question arose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where had the caravan gone? Where were her kin being held?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had to find out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Vina pulled her cloak tighter and, using the cover of night, trailed after the almost-vanishing caravan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She needed to gather information about the enemy first; otherwise, it would be too troublesome to look for them once they were gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, back at the inn, Serea was still unaware of Vina's reckless actions. She was still waiting for dinner, while instructing Little Black to tail Cain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, Little Black was already shadowing Cain, ready at any moment to play his part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Cain to a vast manor, Little Black stealthily crept behind a wall, using his 'Reaper's Shadow' ability to approach Cain unnoticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain rushed from the 'Xiyun Merchant Guild' shop to the estate, as if something urgent had come up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After an anxious wait, the sound of approaching hooves echoed from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the sound, Cain immediately stepped out of the manor, and Little Black activated his 'Phantom Veil' skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiding in the darkness, Little Black watched as a man approached Cain. The newcomer had a sword at his waist and wore silver knight's armor, striking an imposing figure even at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing the man, Cain hurriedly led his people forward to greet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir Pedory, you're finally here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've brought the goods. Let's talk inside—this isn't a good place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, I've already prepared wine and food, sir. Please, come in and rest with your men.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain ushered them in. Little Black was about to follow when, suddenly, he caught sight of the 'merchandise' on the caravan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were elves in ragged clothing, bound and chained—immediately, Little Black recognized them as the Darkmoon Clan elves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After relaying this information to Serea, she, too, was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She issued another order, telling Little Black to follow them in and investigate. Little Black prepared to sneak in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, in the empty fire of his soul, a familiar figure appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Vina!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw her trailing the caravan from afar. When the caravan pulled into the manor, she found the wall on the other side and climbed right over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is she here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Little Black's report, Serea was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for the safety of herself, her people, and Vina, she knew she had to have Little Black stop Vina from going any further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The order came. Little Black wasted no time—he activated Phantom Veil and dashed in after Vina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(To be continued...)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-------------= Clacky's Corner -------------=\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsk, if you're a subordinate, act like a subordinate...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why the fuck you acting alone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【ദ്ദി(⩌ᴗ⩌)】\u003C\u002Fp>",1208,"2026-06-09T05:46:32.369Z",1,"novelbin.me","90786193ec103b90a469865723e8041f893736b950387ea783a19336848cbd36","rebirth-in-another-world-as-the-undead-queen-chapter-53","rebirth-in-another-world-as-the-undead-queen-chapter-51",226,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-in-another-world-as-the-undead-queen-cover.jpg"]
