Chapter 421 The white-haired elf means... (5000!!!)

After the interview with Karin.

Rand came to the street of the resort.

The holiday villa has been expanded and renovated many times.

The sewer system is slowly being built.

And Rand designed the toilet system.

Although the toilet feces composting system in the resort is still relatively primitive.

The sewers are also relatively primitive.

Some feces still need to be carried to the septic tank by feces carriers.

But at least the streets of the holiday villa are much cleaner and tidier than most streets in this world.

Rand strictly requires that livestock walking around the resort must carry dung bags.

After walking a few steps on the street.

Rand stepped back again.

It’s Ayesha!

"Aren't you doing experiments in the alchemy workshop?" Rand stared at Ayesha.

Ayesha crossed her arms over her chest, which made her fullness more prominent.

"Ah~ Sir, would you like to buy some perfume?" Ayesha pretended not to recognize the disguised Rand.

She didn't recognize him at first glance, but Rand's tone made her guess who the knight from the south was.

Looking at the tall and mighty female knight behind Rand, it is basically confirmed.

But Ayesha decided to play dumb.

Rand glared at him: "Don't change the subject!"

Rand had no intention of continuing to pretend and stared at Ayesha.

"It's really vacation time now!" Ayesha had to explain.

Rand recalled that indeed, the research on the upgraded version of the photo-retaining crystal was at the stage of purchasing equipment.

Armament research was also put on hold.

It is indeed Ayesha’s time off.

Rand apologized decisively, and it turned out that he had misunderstood.

Ayesha was a little surprised.

Grand Duke Lander actually apologized.

Thinking back on it this way.

Grand Duke Lander really doesn't put on airs most of the time.

This is really rare.

Although there are times when it is majestic and even terrifying.

Ayesha smiled and brought the topic back: "Brother, beautiful lady, do you want to buy perfume?"

The first time Rand went shopping with Elsa, they seemed to have come across this great alchemist selling perfume.

It seems like Ayesha really enjoys selling perfume.

As a great alchemist, the perfume she made was, it must be said, the best of the best.

Rand decisively paid for it.

Then Ayesha was also interviewed.

Question: “What is it about the resort that attracts you?”

Ayesha chuckled: "Of course it's the big bath. It's great to be able to take a hot bath every day."

The next target is the restaurant.

It wasn’t far from noon.

In fact, even among non-military groups, not many people eat lunch in this era.

One is trouble, the other is to reduce food consumption.

However, in holiday resorts, lunch has become popular due to the prevalence of the restaurant industry and the increase in residents' income.

Rand's eyes were sharp.

There is a food tasting event today.

Food tasting is a dangerous thing.

Because some of the chefs in the visited areas are soul contestants, they are developing dishes in preparation for the next cooking competition.

In addition, due to the development of the adventurer industry and the advancement of logistics, chefs can also access some new ingredients.

This leads some curious chefs to try some strange dishes.

Of course, for safety reasons, once a new dish appears, an alchemist will definitely come to verify the safety of the dish.

At least it will ensure the food is non-toxic.

However, being non-toxic does not mean that it will not cause mental damage.

But if you can be discerning, there are still delicious foods.

And Rand is such a master chef.

But he doesn't know which new products are delicious and which ones are not.

Instead, he is very familiar with the chefs here, and he knows which chefs are good at coming up with creative ideas and which chefs prefer to proceed step by step.

Then you can make your choice.

Soon, Rand filled his stomach in the tasting area.

There are also interviews with some adventurers and gourmets.

And then.

Just to interview Captain Rangang.

It is no secret that the Burning Steel team retired in the holiday villa, and the reason why Captain Burning Steel, the legendary top adventurer, chose to retire in the holiday villa.

It is certainly worth an interview.

Captain Steel didn't recognize Rand.

Only after Rand in disguise showed the lord's interview permit did he agree to be interviewed.

When asked about the impressive aspects of the resort, Captain Yan Gang replied: "You can find a lot of food here, and there are many people who like food. It is also a good place for new adventurers to start their adventures."

The reason why the Steel-burning Team retired in the holiday villa is that the environment here is great and there is less trouble.

Another important aspect is that it is suitable for new adventurers to start their journey.

Several of them have already accepted disciples and started training them.

It is estimated that in a few years, their apprentices will start adventuring from Crescent Moon Territory and become adventurers.

Rand was satisfied and let Elsa take back the photo crystal.

After leaving the Yangang Restaurant.

Rand also interviewed some passers-by on the road.

Then the work was completed perfectly.

Afterwards, Rand will carry out targeted development of holiday villas to a certain extent.

For example, the large bathhouse is currently being expanded.

Rand will pay more attention to the living attributes of the holiday villa.

This will attract talent from other regions.

And it can also develop tourism to a certain extent.

Ordinary people in this era are not qualified to travel, but some high-level talents or some young aristocrats will still travel, and these people have strong purchasing power.

At the same time, Rand will pay more attention to the economic attributes of the resort villa.

This will attract investment and promote trade development.

Of course, factories that cause more pollution will gradually be moved to the burning areas.

Although nowadays, considering the output of holiday villas, this little pollution is actually not worth mentioning.

But Rand will always increase production.

Therefore, plan ahead to avoid wasting time on relocation later.

"Then we can go back now." Rand looked at the sky and asked Elsa, "But it's still early. Do you want to do something else?"

Elsa shook her head.

Now she is in the posture of a burly female knight.

Elsa's purple-black eyes stared at Rand, then she moved closer until her face was touching Rand's.

At this time, Rand could already feel the hot air from Elsa's breath and the touch of the disguise wig on his face. Elsa deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Lord Rand, the knight from the south, don't you want to bully the female knight who is guarding you?"

I have to say that Elsa's ability to disguise is really impressive.

As a skilled assassin, disguise is of course a skill that he must master.

And at this time, being used by Elsa for cosplay also makes her feel very immersive.

So, last time, in the royal city, Elsa pretended to be Ellie and did some taboo things with him.

Rand stretched his neck, then opened his mouth and sucked a mark on Elsa's face.

"Then you'll be unable to get out of bed tomorrow," Rand announced in a voice that only Elsa could hear.

Elsa blinked her eyes. She was indeed a little scared to say that, but it might be a complication brought on by kleptomania. She was a little unconvinced: "I'm not afraid of you! If you have the guts, then kill me."

Rand and Elsa returned to the bedroom behind the lord's hall with eyes wide open.

…

The Elf Elder returned to the Elf Forest.

The Elf Forest is an extremely vast forest area with a complex ecology, numerous water systems, and a variety of creatures.

Of course, the main characters must be the elves, the rulers of the Elf Forest.

The Elf Forest is divided into the outer area and the core area.

The outer areas are relatively open areas that have been cleared out of the forest.

There are a large number of elf villages here.

Most of those living in the outer areas are elven civilians, and the lives of these elves are no different from those of ordinary human villagers.

Even life span won't be much longer.

And the core area.

There is a huge world tree.

The sun shines through the towering treetops, casting dots of light and shadows, like broken golden starlight. The air is filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and the fresh smell of soil.

In the center of the Elven Forest stands a breathtaking golden world tree.

The tree towers into the sky, emitting a dazzling golden glow, as if the afterglow of the sunrise is forever lingering among its branches and leaves.

Its trunk is like flowing liquid gold, emitting dazzling waves of light as the sunlight falls, as if it contains the eternal fire of life.

The World Tree has lush branches and leaves, and each leaf looks like it is made of gold. When the breeze blows through, it emits a pleasant sound, as if countless elves are singing in a low voice.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

There are bright golden fruits hanging between the branches. Legend has it that these fruits can not only grant the eater ultimate vitality, but can even awaken certain things.

At the root of the tree is a flowing Moon Spring. The spring water is like liquid moonlight, slowly flowing out from the roots of the tree, forming shining streams that meander through the entire forest.

The Moon Spring is considered to be the source of life in the Elf Forest. The Moon Spring at its source can be used as an advanced alchemical solvent to a certain extent.

Drinking it directly is also good for the body.

Rand had also heard of Yueyao Spring and wanted to buy some to add to juice or cocktails. It would surely attract many wealthy nobles.

The Moon Spring and the Golden World Tree are the capital that the elves rely on to resist foreign enemies.

The Golden World Tree is not only the faith center of the elves, but also the soul of the entire forest. Its power can dispel darkness, provide vitality to the elves, and form a barrier to prevent the invasion of external evil.

Here, time seems to have stopped. Only the golden light of the World Tree and the chanting of the upper elves make people feel the purity and eternity of life.

There is no hustle and bustle of the world here, only the echo of nature. Every flying bird and every breeze seem to be protecting this ancient pure land, and the world tree Soldia is the soul of this pure land.

At least it looks like a pure land.

For Vanilla, a member of the royal family, this place should be a pure land.

It's just that Vanilla doesn't like it here.

Vanilla's teacher, along with two assistants, entered the elves' royal city.

The elves' royal city is located beside the lake formed by the Moon Spring and at the foot of a huge golden tree.

The royal family of the elves of Vanilla's lineage live on the shores of Moon Lake, so they also call themselves Moon elves in the elves' own classification.

Vanilla's teacher joined the Presbyterian Church.

The elven elders and the Elf King are already waiting here.

"You actually failed, Nidhogg." The elf elder was surprised.

Nidhogg's fighting ability is considered very strong among the elf elders.

As one of the rare elf scholars who occasionally go out, Vanilla's teacher Nidhogg has a relatively strong physique and rich combat experience.

Moreover, as a top-level professional, he also brought two top-level rangers as assistants.

Could it be that Vanilla was imprisoned in the human palace? Otherwise, there would be few defenses that could stop such a force.

But Nidhogg failed.

"I met the powerful human Torch Church bishop and the high-ranking Centaur." Nidhogg said helplessly.

"Superior Centaur?" Compared to the powerful Torch Church Bishop, the scholars of the Presbyterian Church were more puzzled by this.

For monsters like Centaurs and Minotaurs, elites are basically the limit. Their naturally strong physiques are enough to make elite Centaurs or Minotaurs rival higher-level humans.

Although the superior centaurs are not as good as the superior humans, they are still much stronger than ordinary superior humans or superior elves.

And the Centaurs actually cooperate with humans.

"I suspect it's a conspiracy against our Elven Forest." An Elf elder said after thinking for a while, "The truce between humans and elves is due to the emergence of Rand Cameron and the rampage of the Nurturing Blood."

Now, Rand Cameron has disappeared, and only insignificant remnants of the Nurturing Blood remain.

Then it is very likely that humans will once again covet the land of elves.

As for what Nidhogg said, that the Duke of Moon Phase's men released him on their own initiative, the elders of the Council of Elders did not quite believe it.

He probably just said that to show off his strength after he was sure that he couldn't catch Nidhogg.

However, Nidhogg did not think that humans wanted to go to war with the elves. Many elven elders here did not understand the current situation in the human world: "Now that humans are facing the disaster of orcs and undead, it is impossible for them to start a war easily."

However, although Nidhogg did not think that this was an attempt to go to war with the elves, some still believed that it was a conspiracy against the elves.

One possibility for letting him go is that they really can't catch him, and another possibility is that they want to use vanilla as bait to lure more elves to come and get killed.

For example, the Elf Field Team has been captured.

This is very possible. After all, the price of elf slaves in the human world is indeed expensive.

"What should we do?" asked the elder of the Council of Elders. "We can't just let the royal bloodline roam around."

This is not only a question of internal dignity among the elves, but also a question of peace in the elven forest.

If anyone knew about this, the bloodline of the elven royal family would not be able to be protected.

Then the number of human slave traders coming to the Elf Forest every year will only increase, and they may even enter the core area.

And once humans believe that the elves are so weak, it is not impossible for them to really invade the elves.

What an evil Grand Duke of the Moon.

But how to deal with it is also a difficult problem.

If a large army is sent, it will be impossible to reach the territory of Grand Duke Moon Phase.

Elves are not welcome in the human world, and it is almost impossible to get through.

"You can let me go a few more times." Nidhogg said solemnly, "We were not very lucky this time. We should be more prepared next time. There is still hope."

Several elders of the Council of Elders and the Elf King also thought that this was a good solution and that they could just prepare more assistants for Nidhogg next time.

"Then is there anything else?" asked the Elf King.

"Yes." Nidhogg hesitated for a moment and said, "I investigated some things in the Duchy of the Moon Phase. I heard that the Duchy of the Moon Phase has an administrator who is a white-haired elf."

The oldest elven elders and the Elf King present all had solemn expressions on their faces.

The rest are a bit confused.

"Maybe it just happened, or maybe it's a disguise." The elder of the Presbyterian Church guessed with a frown.

"I thought so too. Otherwise, the other possibility is..." Nidhogg said.

"That's not possible." The old Elf King interrupted Nidhogg's speculation.

"That's the end of this matter. The next time you go to the Dukedom of Moon Phase, ..." The Elf King hesitated for a while, and finally said, "The most important thing is to save Vanilla first. You can learn more about these rumored things later."

Nidhogg nodded and left.

The Presbyterian Church was dissolved.

Nidhogg returned to the house where he lived.

This is a quaint tree house.

In the core area of ​​the Elf Forest, the royal city of the Moon Elves, only people at the level of the Elf Elders are qualified to live in the wooden houses.

The rest are basically stone houses.

The reason is simple.

If there are too many wooden houses, fires are likely to occur.

Ever since the last "big fire", only the elders and some of the best in other fields are qualified to live in the tree house.

Nidhogg picked up a book with a somewhat worn cover.

This is a book made of overlapping parchment and stone tablets, quite primitive.

This is the epic history of the elves.

A long time ago, the elves were united, not divided into three royal families as they are now.

Elf Empire.

The ancient elves ruled the Elven Empire, and their wisdom made the empire strong and prosperous.

At that time, they were at least on an equal footing with humans, instead of being weaker than humans as they are now.

The most outstanding characteristic of the ancient elves is...

White hair, golden eyes.

White hair as bright as moonlight.

Golden eyes that shine like the sun.

The Golden World Tree in the Elf Forest is the masterpiece of the ancient elves.

But the ancient elves...

According to legend, some ancient elves live on the branches of the golden tree.

Sometimes the now divided elven royal family would go to the Golden World Tree to listen to the teachings of the ancient elves.

Theoretically, it is impossible for ancient elves to appear in the human world.

Especially being the administrator of a human duke.

The Grand Duke of the human world is indeed very powerful.

But compared to the ancient elves, they are not worthy at all.

Nidhogg returned the epic history of the elves to his bookshelf.

Clear your mind of distracting thoughts.

He couldn't help but feel ridiculous for his own suspicion. He shouldn't pay attention to the affairs of the white-haired elf at all.

That's totally impossible.

What he should focus on now is how to rescue Vanilla.

Nidhogg didn't believe that the powerful old bishop of the Torch Church would always protect Vanilla.

This would be a huge waste of the strong's fighting power.

Therefore, he felt there was a chance to rescue Vanilla.
