Speaking of this, Lia has to thank Kokot properly.

That comet-like fifth-tier magic, and that dragon, almost terrified the young lady of the merchant guild.

"What do you two seem to be discussing?"

Upon hearing Liya's question, Vinya nodded and replied:

“Miss Liya, we do have some problems.”

"How do you humans reproduce?"

"ah……"

Lia was stunned.

That's a really direct question, because she has no experience either.

Although she had some knowledge of this, she had never actually experienced it, so Liya didn't dare to make assumptions.

Therefore, they could only vaguely state:

"Well... I guess it's... getting married?"

"If you were that child, after your parents got married, what would they probably do, um... and then you would crawl out of your mother's body..."

At this point, she herself was somewhat speechless.

Cocotte gave a mocking smile:

"Oh dear, so even you don't understand, Lia."

Hearing Kokote's words, Lia raised an eyebrow, sensing that something was amiss.

Although Kokot was an old elf who had lived for hundreds of years, Lia, as a human, had never had any dealings with elves before.

Moreover, a lazybones like Kokot is almost impossible to have contact with outsiders.

The only man I had frequent contact with...

Lia's smile gradually turned somewhat cold.

"So, you know a lot about this?"

Of course!

Although Kokot didn't experience it either.

However, she has read a great many books.

When she feels tired, she falls into a deep sleep.

Once she's sober, she'll concentrate on reading those erotic novels.

This was a bright spot in Cocotte's dull and monotonous life.

But Leah was unaware of all this; she simply maintained her smile and stared stiffly at Kokot.

She hadn't even noticed it before.

This lazy dog ​​elf in front of me is actually the most cunning one.

Now, upon hearing Lia's words, Vinya's mind raced.

Strictly speaking, the Divine Tree is the mother of every elf.

Regardless of an elf's origins or genes.

Ultimately, a new spirit needs to be born from a seed nurtured by the sacred tree.

Now that Kokot has become the Divine Tree, it possesses the power of the Divine Tree.

In other words…

Thinking of this, Vinya suddenly raised her head.

Kokot is now not only the Queen of the Elves, but also the mother of every elf.

ah?

Has Kokote become my mom?

"No, no, no, that's not right."

Vinya sat on the sofa, one hand covering her head, and muttered to herself in a daze.

Seeing Vinya's conflicted expression, Lia and Kokot exchanged glances.

What happened?

Suddenly, Vinya straightened up, stared at Cocotte, and asked without hesitation:

When are you and Viktor getting married?

"puff."

Kokote, who had just picked up his water glass to drink, spat it out in one gulp.

...

A man in a black trench coat walked through the dense forest, carrying a slight breeze with him.

As he pushed aside the lush branches in front of him, golden sunlight streamed in, and the figure of a catgirl appeared before his eyes.

She wore a black beret that indicated her demi-human identity, and was dressed in smart attire, exuding an aura of power and dignity.

His resolute gaze shone with a determined light, captivating the heart, like a vigilant cheetah, solemnly watching for any potential threats.

When she sensed someone approaching, the catgirl's eyes shone brightly, and she shot towards the entrance of the dense forest like an arrow.

What came into her view was Victor's figure.

Her eyes widened, and she bowed respectfully to Victor:

"Master, I have received the notification."

"plz follow me."

Viktor nodded and followed behind the catgirl instructor.

After passing through dense forests, they entered a magnificent building.

The building is constructed of solid stone blocks, its surface covered with lush green moss, and the walls are draped with ivy.

It blends perfectly with its surroundings.

Gentle sunlight bathed the stone building, so quiet that even the geckos clinging to the walls remained motionless.

This is the refuge of the demi-humans, cleverly hidden in this lush, dense forest.

Upon entering, one can see many subhumans moving in a standardized and uniform manner, constantly honing their physical abilities.

When the catgirl instructor brought Viktor in, their eyes couldn't help but turn to Viktor with curiosity.

Meanwhile, the catgirl instructor in black uniform led Victor through the stone tunnel and into the depths of the shelter.

The faint red light burning on the wall was enough to bathe the surrounding rock walls in a warm, pale yellow glow.

The catgirl instructor turned to Victor, a hint of respect flashing in her eyes:

"We have arrived, Lord Victor."

"Thanks a lot."

Viktor reached out and touched the catgirl instructor's ear.

The little black catgirl was initially somewhat resistant when she saw Viktor's hand.

But when Victor's hand touched her ear.

As she was being touched like that, she actually felt a little comfortable.

Then, the comfortable feeling made her unconsciously squint her eyes and let out a soft snore.

"Um... Lord Victor, I still... I still have a mission to complete."

She muttered to herself.

Victor stopped stroking and then continued to instruct:

"Go and summon Helnason, and bring along that demi-human he's recently been training."

"I see."

The catgirl instructor bowed slightly, her face still flushed, and reluctantly turned to leave.

A cat that has been petted by a skilled person will never forget that comfortable feeling.

Viktor, with a deep gaze, stepped into the mysterious cave.

As they ventured deeper, the surroundings became so dark that they could barely see their own hands.

Only the clear echo of his footsteps on the rocks and the dripping sound of water droplets falling on the rock surface reverberated in the silence.

Suddenly, a sharp, cutting sound rang out in the darkness.

Victor didn't turn around, he just waved his hand slightly behind him.

In the blink of an eye, a "clang" sound rang out from the wooden vines that materialized on his arm.

Sparks flew everywhere.

The dark cave was thus illuminated, revealing a figure that appeared for a fleeting moment.

Victor withdrew his hand, and the wooden vines were gradually retracted.

"Long time no see."

Viktor's deep, calm voice slowly rose.

He turned and looked through the darkness at the other person, staring into those emerald eyes that resembled those of a snake:

"Safirose".
