Even if you become a witch, you have to eat oranges

But as long as the true strength is not exposed, there will be no problem.The rank of a strong person is a watershed, and there are quite a few elite elves below.

"Please let me take a look. I'm also curious about how the people here survive."

This place is not far from the seat of the Rania family, but relatively remote from the Elf Royal Court.Elena's initial character design for herself was that of an elite elf from the Royal Court area.

There, there are countless elves of this strength.

"Well! Since Helen is from the royal court, have you ever seen any elves from the royal family? I heard..."

Carly is obviously a very familiar girl. She has never been to the Royal Court and seems to be very yearning for it.

"It's not easy to meet royal elves, but I do know one..."

The two started talking on the road, and Elena said something half-serious and half-truthful.Alyssa is good friends with the elf princess Aesel, so she knows a little bit about it indirectly.

The elf girl Kali’s eyes were sparkling and she looked full of admiration. She asked in an envious tone:

"Wow - even Her Royal Highness knows her. Miss Helen must be a very powerful elf, right? Is she the daughter of some big tribe?"

"It's okay, His Highness Athel is also very friendly..."

Elena made random nonsense, but the girl couldn't verify it in a short time anyway, and she wouldn't even know where she was by then.

Along the way, I also learned some information about their tribe from this elf girl.

They mainly make a living by hunting and planting, and have no special resources. Sometimes witches come to trade with them.The most important source of resources comes from the transportation of the Elf Royal Court.

"But recently the Royal Court said it would reduce supply..."

Carly didn't say any more, her entanglement was written on her face, and she looked unspeakable.

If you just want to survive, there are enough resources in the forest.But if the elves want to become stronger, they also need various resources such as magic stones.

Without resources, there is no strong combat power. It cannot hunt monsters to obtain more resources. It cannot deal with the mergers and acquisitions of other tribes, and it has fallen into a vicious cycle.

Without the support of the royal court, and such a small tribe having few specialties, it seemed that it would be a matter of time before it died out.

Carly's expression became much more negative, and she didn't seem interested anymore.So Elena changed the subject and asked about something else.

The two arrived at this small elf tribe soon after.Here are the tree houses that Elena is used to seeing, almost blending into the forest.

Carly walked to the entrance of the village first and greeted loudly:

"Uncle, you are on patrol today!"

"It's Carly, coming back so early today. Huh? This person behind you is..."

"He's my new friend!"

Elena was not questioned much, probably because of her elf appearance.On the contrary, the elves in the village secretly looked at her with some curiosity, but did not dare to come up and ask.

"Haha, I knew it."

Seeing the reserved look of those tribesmen, Carly laughed without surprise. She looked at Elena:

"Miss Helen is so beautiful and powerful, but everyone is a little shy."

Then you are so familiar with me, is it because you saw me embarrassed?Elena cursed in her heart.

She looked around very curiously. After all, hearing was not as good as seeing with her own eyes.She is very interested in the ecology of elves.

"These are all treehouses. It would be hard to spot them if you were passing by."

The residence of the Rania family is somewhat similar to the city of the dark elves. They are both part tree house and part normal house. They live in them according to their own preferences.

The ancient customs of elves are preserved here.

Carly said hello all the way and seemed to be very popular.

There are some fields in the village, with some plants densely planted on them, producing plump and attractive fruits. Some elves are watering and taking care of them.

Elena even saw a lot of potion materials. It seemed that they had taken full advantage of the elves' affinity with nature, and the plants they planted were growing well.

After hearing the conversation between Carly and other villagers, Elena realized that she was one of the few in the village who could go hunting alone.

Although she is still very young, she is already stronger than most of the elves in the village.It seems that most of the villagers are not good at fighting.

"Let's go say hello to the clan leader!"

"Well, that's fine too."

The meeting was not formal at all, but filled with a simple country style.

Carly took Elena straight to the center of the village, stood in front of a larger tree house, and opened the door while shouting:

"Grandpa Kugu, I brought my friends to the village to play!"

She knocked twice symbolically before opening the door.

"I told you to be a lady, don't be scared..."

bump!

There was a dull collision in the room, and the old voice suddenly stopped, followed by the sound of a pile of bottles and cans breaking.

"Ah! My potion!"

Elena and Carly looked at each other.

"Grandpa, I'm in!"

Carly felt a little guilty and tiptoed across the living room and into the back room.

Inside was a room filled with shelves filled with jars, one of which had fallen over and left a pile of broken jar fragments scattered on the floor.

An old elf man was squatting on the ground, picking up the fragments distressedly, and carefully collecting some of the scattered powder.

"Ahaha, grandpa, you are sorting out the potions."

"It's all your fault that this girl is dead! Come here and help!"

Carly waved her hand quickly, pointed to the door, and said awkwardly:

"I brought my friend here, and she is still waiting there."

"Friends? Outsiders?"

Kugu raised his eyebrows, and the wrinkles on his face piled up.He patted the powder on his body, stood up and looked out the door:

"There are people in places like ours who are willing to come, let me see..."

He took a careful look at Elena, suddenly raised his eyes, grabbed Carly, and closed the door of the back room at the same time.

"Where did you find this guy? At first glance, he looks like an elf from a big tribe. He can't be from the royal court!"

Carly was a little confused, and she replied honestly:

"It seems to be from the royal court, what's wrong?"

The old elf's face turned cold, he snorted and complained dissatisfiedly:

"She's here to cause trouble, right? You just brought her in like this?"

Volume 44: A farce: [-]. Origin and plea

Carly looked confused and didn't quite understand why her grandfather had such an attitude. She thought he would be very happy to see that she had made an excellent friend.

"Are you stupid? When you come to our tribe at this time, you seem to be quite strong and from the royal court. You must be here to investigate your father's affairs!"

Lao Kugu frowned and walked around twice in the back room, looked at his dumb granddaughter and sighed, with an annoyed look on his face:

"I told you we don't know anything, so why did someone come here again..."

"You go and hold her for a while first, and I'll think of a way."

Carly looked at her grandfather inexplicably and suddenly woke up. She explained:

"It's not like that! Miss Helen was just passing by. I asked her to come over. By the way, should I let her in?"

"You didn't tell me earlier! Invite people in quickly!"

……

The elf's residence looks simple, but it is very particular about some details. The furniture is carved with beautiful patterns and the walls are hung with paintings.

It is said that a long time ago, elves worshiped art more than the strong, and some masters were more famous and prestigious than the elders.

Elena politely stayed at the door, waiting for the grandfather and grandson to discuss in the room. She didn't really care about being left out here, but just wanted to remind:

The wall may not be as thick as you think, and your voice is not so low, I heard it!

"Miss Helen, you haven't left yet! Sorry for the long wait!"

Soon the door opened and Carly called Elena in. At the same time, the old man also came over.

He coughed and said in a pretentious manner:

"Welcome Miss Helen to our village. I am temporarily assuming the position of village head. May I ask where the girl is from -"

"Grandpa, please be normal! Anyway, the secret will be revealed soon!"

"Damn girl, what are you talking about? Just because it's a small place, it can't be looked down upon by others. Let me tell you..."

Elena watched the interaction between her grandfather and grandson with great interest.

Finally, she repeated what she said to fool Kali. The village chief, Kugu, nodded seriously while listening, and wiped his mouth from time to time to ask, and then he believed it.

"Please Miss Hela, please take care of this girl Carly. You young people can play with you as you like. There is nothing shameful in your memory."

During the brief exchange, Elena learned that in addition to being the village chief, this old man also worked part-time as a priest, doctor, pharmacist, carpenter, etc...

Well, the tea I made was pretty good.

After that, Elena followed Carly around the village. She watched the elves' daily life with interest, and occasionally asked a few questions.

Probably because they generally have long lifespans, the villagers live a leisurely life. They use a few random spells to make the crops they grow thrive, and they spend most of the day discussing music, sculptures and other things.

"I don't know how long this peace can last."

Carly suddenly sighed incoherently, but before Elena could be confused, she returned to her lively appearance.

Dinner was at Kali's house, the village chief Kugu's house.The table is filled with food that the elves like, and all kinds of fruits that look tempting.

"Ah! It's so rich today, I want to eat more!"

After seeing this, she sat down very excitedly and reached out to the dining table.

Snapped!

"Oooh, what are you doing!"

Carly's eyes were filled with tears as her hand was slapped away, and she looked at her grandfather dissatisfied.

Kugu glared at her, then smiled at Elena.It seemed like he was trying his best to be friendly, but his wrinkled face looked a little scary.

"Some guests should be more reserved. Look at me, the eldest lady in the royal court is much more elegant than you!"

In fact, Elena just doesn't like vegan food very much, and she's not a young lady.She said for Carly:

"Miss Carly has been with me all day, and she must be very hungry. Please try to relax, I am the guest."

“Just plain!”

Finally getting the fruit, Carly stuffed it into her mouth and nodded vaguely.

"You bastard!"

After finishing the meal, Elena was hesitating whether to go back immediately or stay overnight.

Kugu poured her a cup of tea diligently, as if he had something to say.As expected of a pharmacist, the tea smells delicious.

"Well, Miss Helen, have you heard about what happened in our village? It's the one that happened recently."

"...I'm traveling and I don't know much about the recent news."

Elena knew that the real drama was coming, and this old man obviously had some purpose.But she actually didn't know much about the elves.

"So that's what happened." Kugu nodded, seeming to clear up some of his doubts.

This makes Elena very curious. Is there something special about this village that attracts the attention of the entire elves? But it obviously looks very ordinary.

"You may not know, but there are also some important people in our village."

Kugu's expression was extremely complicated, a little proud, a little hateful, and mixed with regret.

And when he spoke, Carly on the side suddenly fell silent, and her expression became equally heavy.
