Aurelian stood in the forest, feeling the wonder and nature.

The world here is as natural and magical as a secret place.

The bright sunshine shines through the trees and falls sparsely on the lush green grass. The soft and moist breath reveals the coolness after the spring rain.

A gurgling river keeps hitting the rocks, creating a crisp sound.

Standing in the forest, you can even feel the gentle breeze coming from here.

If Aurelian didn't know that she came in from outside.

It is estimated that she would feel that this should be a mysterious forest in the wild.

"Forest Paradise?"

"This is a residence specially prepared for the elves in order to get them to agree to cooperate with us."

Cassana explained to Aurelian calmly:

"The researchers in the City of Mages have made theoretical speculations through the magic waves of an elf councillor."

"Once elves are in a good mood, they will generate a lot of natural energy."

"This energy will become their source of magic, allowing them to grow and become stronger."

A breeze blew by, and Cassana flicked her hair and looked at the mysterious forest in front of her.

The elves seemed to have no idea that someone had entered, and they lived very happily here.

They played and frolicked with each other, slept when they were tired, drank dew and streams when they were thirsty, and climbed trees to pick fruits when they were hungry.

Carefree.

"So, we tried to extract the natural energy produced by the elves through 'joy'."

"The effect is very significant. The natural energy of the elves can be stored and used as energy."

Aurelian was a little stunned.

Seeing her expression, Mrs. Kasana's mouth corners slightly raised and smiled faintly.

"Puppets that can move by themselves, light bulbs that can be activated without magic, and even energy vehicles that can drive automatically."

"Everything you see is driven by the 'energy' produced by these elves."

"Why, at first, did you think we were imprisoning elves?"

At this time, Aurelian reacted, felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed.

Although she didn't say it at first, she did have this idea at the beginning.

"What's the benefit of imprisoning them?"

"They have no money, so they can't generate any profit. And if we harm them, they will be harmed by the spirits of nature."

"But once they feel happy, the 'natural energy' that is not necessary for them can be used by us."

Cassana took a deep breath, as if she was also feeling the fresh air coming from the dense jungle.

The breeze kept blowing her hair, but Cassana let them drift, and her voice sounded faintly:

"This is a win-win situation."

Aurelian opened her mouth and asked the doubt in her heart:

"Won't they feel unfree if they stay here all the time?"

"Unfree?"

Cassana turned her head and looked at Aurelian in confusion.

"My niece, why do you think so?"

"The contract we signed with the elves never said that we would let them stay here all the time."

Aurelian blinked, not quite understanding what Cassana meant.

At this time, the closed door behind her opened again.

Several elves were wearing clothes of various styles, as if they had just come back from shopping.

They carried large and small bags filled with clothes and delicacies, and entered the forest with laughter and chatter.

If Aurelian hadn't seen their pointed ears, she would have thought they were some noble ladies from someone's family.

As soon as they came in, they saw Kasanna, froze for a moment, then stretched out their hands and greeted her familiarly.

"Madam Kasanna, long time no see."

"When did Madam come back? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"I was thinking about going shopping with Madam... How many days will Madam stay at home this time?"

Kasanna smiled and nodded to them one by one.

After a few words of small talk, the elves went deep into the forest until they were completely out of sight.

This made Aurelian's head flash with countless question marks.

"They are absolutely free. They can enter and exit this gate at will, leave the mansion, and go to the human city outside."

"Even, the family will give them enough Geo every month for them to spend so that they can live in this city."

"Now, do you still think they are not free?"

Aurelian: "..."

She fell into complete silence.

"In the treaty of cooperation between us and the elves, there is only one restriction on the elves."

"That is, stay as happy as possible."

Cassana said lightlySmiling, as if she was happy to solve the doubts for Aurelian.

"Only when they are happy can the Reiser family get a lot of energy and continue the subsequent scientific research and inventions."

"Elves are the foundation of the Reiser family. How can we hurt them?"

Aurelian was a little embarrassed, lowered her head, and was a little shy.

"I thought you were doing something bad..."

Suddenly, a hand was placed on the top of Aurelian's head and gently rubbed it.

Cassana said softly:

"Child, don't think too badly of everything."

"But don't think too well of everyone."

"You have to know that the world is not black and white, it is a delicate gray."

Cassana sighed softly, as if she was sighing for something.

"You are the princess of the empire, and everything should be considered for the empire."

"I hope you still remember that I was also a princess."

After that, she didn't look at Aurelian's silence again.

Turning around and walking outside, she called out to Aurelian in a low voice:

"Let's go out."

As they walked, Kasana suddenly stopped.

She narrowed her eyes, as if she had sensed something.

Her eyes were like a venomous snake, looking at the darkness nearby.

"As a guest, do you have to be sneaky when you come?"

Aurelian was a little confused, but just as Kasana's voice fell, a drop of black gradually flowed out from the shadow.

The black shadow swelled up, like a pool of water, and grew into the form of a creature.

It was a one-eyed crow with only one eye.

It laughed, with an indescribable evil charm.

This made Kasana suddenly stunned.

She couldn't understand it.

Why, here, would there be a crow?

Aurelian recognized the crow, covered her mouth, and shouted in surprise.

"It's... it's the teacher's crow!"

"Teacher?"

Cassana turned around and looked at Aurelian.

She knew who Aurelian's teacher was.

It could only be that person...

Suddenly, greenery grew, and countless vines entwined on the ground.

It seemed to have turned into the shape of a wooden man.

The crow flapped its wings and stood on the shoulders of the wooden man.

Suddenly, the wooden man moved.

His two hands closed stiffly, and then opened.

It was like clapping.

Then, the vines on the wooden man's head gradually faded.

A somewhat thin face was revealed.

He raised the corners of his mouth and said to Lady Kasana with a smile.

"Well said, Lady Kasana."

Aurelian was surprised when she saw who was coming.

"Old... teacher!?"

She didn't even notice when Victor came in.

Lady Kasana looked at Victor coldly.

"It's you, Victor..."

"What do you mean by appearing here?"

"Prove to me that you have the ability to get past all the guards of the Reiser family?"

Victor smiled, and the wooden body on his body gradually turned into a windbreaker and was draped over his body.

"Don't get too excited, ma'am."

"That's not what I meant."

As the windbreaker swayed in the wind, Victor's body seemed to have completely changed.

He put his hands back in the pockets of the windbreaker and smiled confidently:

"I just want to tell you that none of you can beat me."

Kasana took a deep breath and glared at Victor.

Aurelian stepped forward and held Lady Kasana's hand.

"Aunt, don't..."

"What the teacher said is true."

Kasana looked down at her.

"So what? I'm Kasanna, a former princess of the Empire! I'm the boss of the Reiser family!"

"Do I have to watch him act so arrogantly in the Reiser family's territory?"

She turned her head again and looked at Victor.

"Victor, what makes you so confident?"

Victor's eyes were extremely calm, mixed with a little helplessness.

"I have said something to your son Jace."

"I think I can say the same to you."

He did not make any extra movements, but the logo of three broken heads on his chest flashed a bright blue.

"Call me Councillor, Ms. Kasanna."

Kasanna was slightly stunned, not quite understanding what Victor meant.

But she just blinked.

But suddenly, she seemed to appear in another world.

Everything around her disappeared.

Aurelian, the gate, the surrounding forest, and even the ground under her feet.

It seemed to be deserted.The dry land was replaced again.

A raging fire suddenly rose, as if it was going to completely devour the sky.

Kasanna raised her head suddenly, just because she felt a certain crisis.

Suddenly, she was stunned.

In front of her, a monster appeared.

It was a monster that humans could never contend with, like a giant beast that destroyed the world.

It dragged its volcanic body and moved slowly.

It stepped on the sea of ​​fire one foot at a time, and its body was flowing with extremely high-temperature lava.

Its eyes were scarlet, as if surging with a strong flame of anger.

It seemed that in the next second, it could burn thousands of things.

The sky-high burning flames and the ashes all over the eyes, even Kasanna, who had been baptized by countless wars, felt extremely horrible and oppressive.

At this time, she was already sweating profusely, her body was stiff, and she could only watch the monstrous beast that destroyed the world and continued to walk on this dry land.

As if, burning everything.

"Is this... natural energy?"

Casana had dealt with elves for a long time and was very sensitive to natural energy.

The raging beast with flames rising around it.

It was like...

a collection of natural energy.

If such energy could be used by the Reiser family.

I'm afraid it could directly support the energy consumption of the city of Tiyepo for more than a hundred years!

But at this moment, Victor's figure walked out of the flames step by step.

The flames didn't seem to affect him.

"How could it be..."

Casana stared at Victor in a daze.

The moment Victor appeared, she felt it.

This huge natural energy.

It came from Victor.

This made her unable to understand and even more difficult to accept.

Under the breath of the flames, Victor's windbreaker kept swaying and gradually became longer.

The red lines covered the entire clothes, like a red flame.

He just stood quietly on top of the giant fire beast, lowered his head, and looked down at Kasanna:

"What?"

"Are you not convinced?"
