But Ellie, who was beside her, kept stealing glances. She didn't understand the intricacies of the system, but she found this man very strange, as he could bring back a lot of things after just one trip.

She was clever and had already gleaned some superficial secrets from the strange conversations between Xiao Linlin and Su Lin, but she didn't ask them directly, pretending not to see them.

Xiao Linlin had clearly figured out Su Lin's thoughts long ago. She felt that her brother was definitely planning to take down Elleri after receiving the recruitment order, and that she, as a pureblood, was a shoo-in for a spot.

There's no way around it; Elrere is currently the pureblood elf with the most powerful group buff ability.

Thinking about my own team, I have a strategist, a warrior, and an information provider all in place. All I'm missing is a support role, and Ellie would be perfect for that.

So Xiao Linlin stopped treating Elleri as an outsider and even started to proactively discuss some key arrangements with Su Lin in front of Elleri. She even suddenly brought up a major suggestion.

"Brother, what do you think... now that we have the recruitment order, why don't we go find the Elf Queen and win her over too?"

"Hey! You're thinking the same thing as me. I was just about to tell you about this."

Su Lin smiled at Xiao Linlin, who giggled and said, "I knew it! My brother and I are the most in sync!"

Su Lin asked, "When are we going?"

Xiao Linlin pondered, "Let's finish the phased tasks and get down to business first. There aren't many tasks left anyway. We don't need to rush to find the Queen. Let's just put her on the list for now."

The two, one big and one small, whispered and plotted together, their voices neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for Ellie to hear.

Ellie grew increasingly alarmed as she listened, almost unable to sit still. She repeatedly turned to look at the two men, her wide, beautiful eyes filled with panic and shock.

no?

What do you two mean?

They're so openly trying to take advantage of the Elf Queen, right in front of me, a pure-blooded elf!
