Chapter 254 The Dark Elf Cub Admits Mistake
Under the cover of night, Ephite, wearing a black hooded cloak, held a dark elf cub in each hand and teleported quickly in the dense forest.
In order to find the cubs, we slowed down and traveled all the way from Wanaku to the Wobbe Canyon, passing through many countries and spending a whole week.
Now that he had found the cub, he naturally sped up, using teleportation magic without stopping to rush back to Wanaku.
However, the distance and frequency of the Grand Mage's teleportation are limited, so he has to stop and rest for more than ten minutes every hour to adjust his condition and restore his magic power.
Nolan and Luke hunched their shoulders and looked dejected, like two kittens being held by the scruff of the neck, not daring to move.
Just two hours ago, they were spanked by Efit, and now there are two big tears hanging in the corners of their eyes!
Although Efit is usually easy to talk to, he can be very scary when he is strict. He will punish when necessary and will never show leniency.
Efit teleported out of the woods carrying the two cubs and into a village that had been ravaged by war.
The Kingdom of Cecilia launched wars against neighboring countries every year and conquered many of them. The people suffered terribly from the wars.
Most of the houses in the village collapsed, and the fields were barren and overgrown with weeds, indicating that no one had lived there for a long time.
Efit found a house that looked relatively intact, cleaned it up a bit, and lit the fireplace.
Suddenly, the room was lit up with orange flames.
Efit took out bread, water, fruit, wheat cakes, and a pot from his storage ring. After heating the food, he divided it into three portions and placed them on the only low table.
"Eat!" he said to the two cubs.
Nolan and Luke's stomachs were already growling with hunger, so they picked up the fruits and oatmeal cakes and ate them voraciously.
Efit considerately poured them some warm water to prevent them from choking if they ate too fast.
After placing the cup of water in front of the cub, he picked up a piece of toasted bread and ate it slowly with warm water.
Dark elves, tainted by the forces of darkness, may have changed their appearance, but their tastes remain unchanged. Their preferred foods remain vegetarian, such as fruit, oatmeal, bread, nectar, and milk. Meat, however, can be eaten in small amounts, as excessive amounts can cause nausea.
The fire in the fireplace crackled and the dark elves chewed their food quietly.
More than ten minutes later, the two dark elf cubs looked very satisfied after eating and patted their round bellies.
Huhu, I’m finally full.
You know, in order to avoid those monsters, they haven't eaten properly for two days.
Efit wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, picked up the cup and took a sip of warm water, his blood-red eyes gazing calmly at the cub.
"Tell me, how did you meet that demon king?"
Nolan and Luke looked at each other, feeling guilty and not daring to answer.
Efit's expression was serious as he stared at them without blinking, emitting an invisible sense of oppression.
After a few minutes, the cubs couldn't bear it anymore, pouted their lips, and covered their little butts at the same time.
"Let me make it clear first, you can't spank us after you listen to this." Nolan bargained.
"You were beaten before and it still hurts!" Lujia blinked hard and squeezed out a few tears.
Efit said expressionlessly, "That's the punishment for running away from home without permission."
Nolan knew that Efit's words were his bond, so he sighed like a grown-up, took out a box of herbs from his storage bag, and put it on the table.
"This is why we are being hunted by the giant monster."
Efit took the box and asked, "What is it?"
Luke held up a finger and replied, "It's a grass, a beautiful grass."
Nolan said flatteringly, "We will remember your words. If we come across any precious herbs, we must not miss them and must carefully pick them and bring them back."
Luke nodded repeatedly. "Yes, that's right."
Efit held the medicine box in his hands, feeling the strong blood inside. He frowned and opened the medicine box carefully.
As the lid of the box opened, a rich and pure bloody aura hit him in the face. Efit subconsciously leaned back, squinting his eyes to examine the grass in the box with a solemn expression.
The grass is bright red all over, with crystal-like branches and stems, leaves covered with a thick layer of fuzz, and an unopened bud growing on the top.
If not picked, the bud will bloom into a small blood-red flower.
Unfortunately, it has been picked and has lost its vitality. I'm afraid it will never bloom again.
Nolan leaned in closer and whispered, "Isn't it beautiful?"
Luke said proudly, "It grows three thousand meters underground in the canyon! When Nolan and I found it, there were no monsters guarding it, so we picked it without any problems."
Nolan puffed out his cheeks and complained, "I didn't expect the monster and its minions to have such sharp noses. We ran a long way away, but they still caught up with us."
"This grass must be very important, otherwise why would the monster keep chasing us?" Luke said, holding his chin. "We killed the monster several times, but it got stronger and stronger. We couldn't defeat it, so we had to keep running."
"I wanted to run towards Wanaku, but I got so nervous and panicked that I lost track and ended up running the wrong way." Nolan rubbed his nose embarrassedly. "But I was lucky enough to run into those goblins."
Luke asked curiously, "Ephet, have you ever known the little elf named Sperian?"
Nolan blinked his bright eyes. "Yeah, you two seem to be very familiar with each other. He even gave you some herbs."
Efit didn't answer the cub's question. He closed the medicine box and put it into his storage ring. "This herb is not simple. I'll keep it here for now."
The herbal blood was too strong, and the low-level storage bag couldn't block the smell, which was why the cub was chased by the monster. His storage ring was a high-level device that could prevent any smell from escaping.
"Oh." The cub didn't dare to refute.
Efit asked, "Did you go three thousand meters underground?"
"Uh—" Luka was stunned. Oh no, he had gotten so carried away that he actually revealed everything.
Efit looked at the frustrated cub and said with a stern face, "What did I tell you before?"
Luke lowered his head in shame and stammered, "Do what you can...do within your means and don't put yourself in danger."
Efit asked, "Did you do it?"
Luke shook his head and replied quietly, "No...no."
Nolan spoke bravely, "Efit, this is all my fault. I was the one who insisted on going three thousand meters underground. Luke tried to dissuade me, but I didn't listen. I dragged him along to collect herbs with me."
Luka looked up and retorted, "No, no, no, it's my fault! I wanted to find a higher-level magic stone, which can only be found deep in the canyon."
"It's my fault, if you want to spank me, spank me!"
"It's clearly my fault. I'm tough, so just hit me."
"Oh, I told you, it's my fault, Luke, you are not allowed to snatch it from me!"
"How could I compete with you? I'm an honest dark elf, just telling the truth."
Seeing the two cubs about to fight over whose fault it was, Efit shouted, "Enough."
Suddenly, Nolan and Luca shut their mouths and behaved like two quails. They stole glances at the cold-faced adult dark elves, feeling uneasy.
Efit relaxed his expression, stretched out his hands and touched the heads of the two cubs at the same time.
Feeling the gentle caress of the palm on their heads, Nolan and Luke's uneasy hearts gradually calmed down, and they called out coquettishly: "Efit~"
Efit lowered his hand and warned, "Don't do it again."
"Yeah!" The cub smiled brightly.
Wow, that's great! No more spankings on my little butt.
Efit could see through their little thoughts. He bent his fingers, tapped each finger, stood up and said, "Keep going."
It is not safe to walk outside with two cubs. In order to avoid any trouble at night, we must return to Wanaku as soon as possible.
"Okay~" Nolan and Luke responded obediently.
Although they were sleepy now, they had to hurry on. They didn't have to walk anyway; they could just be carried by Ephite the entire way.
Efit put out the fire in the fireplace, picked up a cub in each hand, and teleported away from the dilapidated house.
As they teleported, they passed through several villages and towns, each of which showed signs of war. Many civilians were homeless and slept on the streets in desperation, all of them looking pale and thin.
The darkness provides an opportunity for evil to breed, and the elderly, children and women suffer the most.
Efit held Nolan and Luke tightly and left these towns filled with darkness cautiously.
The current king of Cecilia has launched countless wars since he came to power and annexed all the surrounding countries.
However, after annexing these countries, he did not govern them well, allowing the people to struggle in pain, infinitely magnifying their inner fears and desires, and becoming pawns of dark forces.
This is not something a normal king would do.
The geographical location of Cecilia determines its importance.
It is next to Wanaku and has the Sword of Carlos. It was once known as the "Guardian of Light".
With the loss of the Sword of Carlos, Cecilia's status plummeted and it became the country most infiltrated by dark forces.
If the dark elves wanted to go to other parts of the continent, they had to either cross the dangerous Unibal Swamp, take a long detour by sea, or pass through the country of Cecilia.
Of the three options, going through Cecilia is the safest.
However, after the war broke out, this road became the most dangerous one.
When the full moon moved overhead, Efit stopped teleporting and took a rest.
They sat under a huge tree, lit a fire, and spread insect repellent around.
Efit sat cross-legged, meditating to recover his magic power as quickly as possible. Nolan and Luke, wrapped in thick cloaks, took a nap together.
Fifteen minutes later, Efit recovered 80% of his magic power and opened his eyes alertly.
His diffuse perception told him that two figures were moving quickly towards him.
They are filled with rich dark power.
Efit took out his magic wand and protected the two cubs behind him.
Nolan and Luke opened their eyes dazedly. "Efit, what's wrong?"
"Don't make any noise." Efit warned in a low voice.
The dark elf cub felt the tense atmosphere, held its breath, and hid behind him.
Soon, the two figures teleported to the vicinity of the giant tree, and the terrifying dark power was released domineeringly.
When Efit saw who was coming, his pupils shrank slightly.
A necromancer at the level of a mage saint, and a young man...whose level is hard to tell but exudes a strong dark aura.
Compared to the necromancer, the young man put more pressure on him.
"I was wondering who dared to camp here, it turns out to be the dark elves." The young man stood in front of the fire, looking down at Efit and the dark elf cub.
Efit's whole body tensed up as he stared at the young man warily.
"Sarn, don't make things complicated." The necromancer Xien Pusen frowned and said, "Hurry to the canyon as soon as possible and complete the mission."
The young man named Sarn raised his eyebrows and said to Efit, "Dark Elf, take off your hood and let me see your face."
This is a very rude request, almost like teasing someone.
Efit did not move, and said coldly: "If you have nothing to do, please leave immediately."
Sarn smiled and said, "I just want to know the difference between dark elves and white elves. I have no ill intentions. Don't worry, after we see it, we will leave."
Efit remained indifferent, clenching the magic wand in his hand, ready to attack at any time.
The dark elf cub clung to his back nervously, feeling horrified.
This young man is dangerous!
As dangerous as that big monster!
"Saen, my patience is limited!" Sheen Pusen said coldly.
Sarn sighed softly and snapped his fingers: "Okay - wind!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong gust of wind blew around and blew off Efit's hood without warning.
In the moonlight, the long silver hair was flying, the handsome face of the dark elf was slightly stunned, the ruby-red eyes were sharp, the blue-gray skin was smooth and delicate, reflecting the faint moonlight, as if covered with a hazy halo.
Efit did not expect the other party to suddenly use this trick, and was extremely angry at his shamelessness.
Sarn stroked his chin, examined the adult dark elf from head to toe, and came to a conclusion.
"As expected, the beauty of dark elves is no less than that of white elves. Although their appearances are different, they have their own unique charm. That fat guy Locke has poor taste!"
Shaking his head, he said to the impatient Sheen Pusen, "Let's go!"
Sheen Pusen snorted coldly and disappeared in an instant.
Before leaving, Sarn smiled at Efit. "Goodbye, my beauty."
Under Efit's cold gaze, he flashed away.
After a while, Efit could no longer sense their breath and finally relaxed his tense nerves.
Nolan grabbed Efit's cloak and asked, "Who are they?"
Luke whispered, "They mentioned the canyon."
Ephite scooped up the two cubs, kicked the fire out, and teleported away without hesitation.
The identities of the necromancer and the young man were far from simple. Their destination was the Wobba Canyon. The only thing that could cause the necromancer to worry was the slain demon king.
It was obvious that they were humans loyal to the Dark God.
If they knew that Nolan and Luke caused the Demon Lord to be killed, the consequences would be disastrous.
Sooner or later, the Dark Elf King will cooperate with the dark forces and launch a war against the White Elves. By then, the casualties will be incalculable.
He didn't want the newborn dark elf cubs to become victims of war before they grew up, and he only hoped that Sperien would act quickly, purify the branches of the mother tree as soon as possible, transfer the fruits, and curb the number of dark elves.
This way, at least the damage can be minimized.
Efit's eyes were determined and he increased the speed of teleportation.
