Chapter 30

The two people with different thoughts looked at each other in silence for a while, and the smile on their faces was somewhat forced.

“During the time that I’m back at the Forest of Elves, you should close early.” Sophia paused for a moment, then frowned and said, “Also, don’t listen to the words of those drunkards.”

Alan laughed dryly, wondering why Sophia had such a bad opinion of mister Wayne…

Before sending Sophia out of the tavern, she gave Alan something.

“Is this pendant a seed?” Alan was puzzled.

Sophia looked at him seriously and said, “This is the holy relic of elves, the seed of the Tree of Life. Wear it close to your body. The magic power contained in it can constantly regulate your body, making you stronger and stronger, and increase your vitality..” After saying that, she curled her lips and looked at Alan’s small body in disgust.

Although Alan was not convinced, he could not refute it. After all, in this foreign world where everyone had the same physique, Alan’s small body was pitifully weak.

“Since this seed is so important, is it okay for you to give it to me?” Alan asked.

Sophia looked indifferent. “You are a friend of the elves. Take this tree seed as a gift from your elf friends. After all, you don’t have the ability to protect yourself at all, you are still so weak…”

Alan, who was stabbed by Sophia’s words again, almost fell down…

“I’ll take this seed as a loan from the elves. I’ll return it to you when I find something that I can use to strengthen my body and keep me safe.”

“Whatever you want.” Sophia turned around and walked out of the city.

Alan was in the tavern and watched her leave the street before going back.

…

There were only the rustling sounds of small animals in the night in the Forest of Elves. The riverbank that Stanton chose for the night was also very quiet. There was not a single small animal near the camp at night.

The knights traveled the entire day and experienced a tough battle. After everyone ate their fill, Olivia only arranged for Stanton to keep watch. He just broke through, so it was not bad to use this night’s watch to consolidate his magic power.

The next morning, before the dewdrops on the leaves evaporated, Olivia and the others already packed their luggage and were ready to set off.

“Stanton, let’s set off. We must reach the elf clan today. We don’t have much time left.”

The news that she received from Youpanji yesterday made Olivia feel a sense of urgency. The situation in the Imperial City was not optimistic. She had been out for almost half a month, traveling from the center of the Empire to the border, crossing more than half of the country.

She thought that it would be good to relax for a period away from the center of power, but from what she knew now, she did not have much time to waste.

The group of people who were traveling in the forest during the day finally arrived at the gate of the elven base when night completely replaced the day.

“Who are you people? Why are you still approaching the elven base at this time of night?” Stanton looked at the elven boy that was only up to his chest, holding a bow and arrow in his hand. The elf boy’s face was full of fear and tears could be seen in his eyes. Even so, he stood firmly in front of the convoy despite the stiffness in his body.

When Olivia got down from the horse, she saw Stanton’s stiff face. He was trying his best to make himself look friendly, but unfortunately, things did not go his way. The child opposite him was almost scared to tears…

She stepped forward helplessly and patted Stanton’s shoulder. “Go to the back. You cannot control the magic power in your body well. The pressure is too great.”

Olivia always felt that her Chief Knight’s hobbies were very incompatible with his looks. After all, he looked like a fierce and serious person. Who would have thought that he liked children the most, but was also the worst at dealing with children? When he was free, other than training, he actually liked raising flowers the most…

Hearing the princess’ words, Stanton instantly heaved a sigh of relief and his entire body relaxed. He thought that his appearance scared the child to tears. He tried his best to show his gentleness.

When the low-level knights in the team saw their boss in such a state, they could not help but cover their mouths and laugh secretly. Only their boss, the silly bear, did not have a correct understanding of his own face. The others were very clear about it.

Especially when their boss was facing people and things that he was not familiar with or liked, his expression became stiff, as if he was going to kill someone. Even the maid who rarely had any emotional fluctuations along the way smile when she saw this scene.

Olivia chased her Chief Knight away and stood at the front of the team to negotiate. This time, she was here to seek an alliance. Naturally, she could not put on the airs of a princess.

“Hello, young elf! ” Looking at the beautiful human woman who was smiling kindly, the young elf was finally not so nervous. That man who was as big as a mountain just now looked too fierce, moreover, he had been emitting a very strong magic power, which made him feel very pressured.

“This is the residence of the elf clan, right? We are diplomats of the Oreste Empire. We are here to make a deal with the elf clan and to meet the elf queen.”

The elven youth sensed Olivia’s kindness and knew that they were not enemies. He pulled out a small, slender wooden whistle from his neck and blew it gently.

“Beep… Beep Beep…”

The whistle was clear, melodious, and rhythmic. It had a certain rhythm and the sound traveled far into the forest.

After the whistle stopped, another whistle came from somewhere in the distance. The rhythm was different from the previous rhythm. Both sides seemed to be passing some kind of message through this small whistle.

After hearing the whistle, the young man’s expression relaxed. He smiled at Olivia and said, “Sister Maya and the others will be here soon. Wait a moment. Without them opening the door, you won’t be able to reach the elf clan.”

“Well, thank you… you helped us inform them. I don’t even know your name. My name is Olivia, the youngest daughter of the emperor of Oreste.”

The elven youth probably never seen such a beautiful human female treat him so gently. He shyly averted his gaze and introduced himself in a low voice, “My name is Jensen, I’m a reserve member of the guards.”

Just as Olivia was about to continue getting more information from the elven youth, a series of soft footsteps came from the forest. Jensen’s ears twitched, and he knew that Maya and the others had arrived.

“Jensen! Get over here!” The first female elf who walked out of the forest was suppressing her anger as she shouted at the young elf.

The group of elven squad members who were dressed in battle attire was all on guard as they looked at Olivia and the others. The elf who called Jensen stared at Stanton without blinking.

The young elf who was being shouted at walked towards his own people with his head lowered.
