Ultimately, due to the power of the Temple of Light, the elves, despite their strong aversion to humans, still agreed to let Maggie and her group enter the village.
As the group entered the village, they were greeted by lush greenery and refreshing treehouses. The elves all had long, pointed ears, a physique similar to humans, and were all handsome and exquisite in appearance.
The quiet and peaceful elf village is like a paradise from a dream.
It would be perfect if these elves didn't look at them with wary, indifferent eyes.
Maggie was helpless.
However, there's nothing that can be done about it; many mercenaries will take risks to capture elven slaves for profit.
She vaguely remembered the elves locked in cages at the underground slave auction, their eyes numb and empty, their clothes tattered, and their exposed skin bearing deep, bone-revealing wounds.
Humans will harm other races for their own selfish desires.
"Your Highness, that treehouse was prepared for you by the Elf Chieftain."
Yarlin pointed to the small treehouse, which wasn't too far from the village, and whispered a reminder to Maggie.
Please say thank you for me.
Maggie knew that the elf would most likely not give her a friendly look, so she decided it was best not to go up there and see his cold face.
"yes."
High Priest Yarlin accepted the order and turned to leave.
As she walked toward the treehouse, admiring the beautiful scenery of the elven village, she caught sight of a small, thin figure standing behind a large tree, staring at her with curious eyes.
"?"
A question mark popped up above Maggie's head; she never expected that an elf would be interested in humans.
Since entering the village, she hasn't felt a single friendly glance.
and.....
This little guy is... too beautiful. His features are several levels more exquisite than those of other elves. His pale skin is almost transparent, without a single flaw. His long, silvery-white hair reaches his waist and is as smooth as silk.
His bright, sparkling eyes were perfectly positioned with the distance between them and his eyebrows. The light red pupils accentuated his snow-white skin, creating a beauty that was both androgynous and breathtaking.
He wore a newly woven flower wreath on his head, peeking out from behind the big tree, his eyes eager to approach her, but for some reason, he dared not get close.
wrong?
Is his eye color light red?
Ordinary elves have light green eyes.
A question flashed through Maggie's mind. It seemed that only the Forest God in his prime would have such faint red eyes during battle.
But there shouldn't be any connection between them, right?
The Forest God is indeed an elf, and his reincarnated human form is also an elf, but according to the storyline, he should now be in the Kingdom of Saint Na, living a carefree and irresponsible life as a bard.
Of course, this is only his public identity. In reality, he is also a powerful magician who is secretly investigating the crimes of the Zefneria family.
As for the reason... Maggie doesn't quite know either. The comics have never explained why he hates the Zefner family so much.
Furthermore, the human form of the forest god should now be an adult, not the child before us.
It should be noted that elves have long lifespans and extremely slow growth rates. It takes at least several hundred years for an elf to grow from infancy to adulthood. Even if this young elf were to travel by rocket, it would be impossible for him to become an adult in a short time.
She's probably overthinking it.
Maggie dismissed this unrealistic speculation, glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention to her, and then stretched out her eager paws, beckoning towards the tree.
He was so beautiful, he was like a creation of God.
He didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards her; he must just be a child.
Her girlish heart was pounding uncontrollably.
Maggie didn't want to be noticed, and was only afraid that other elves would misunderstand that she was trying to kidnap children. But her sneaky little actions made her look more like a child trafficker.
When the little guy saw Maggie waving, he first took a step back instinctively, and then showed a hesitant look.
Maggie's excitement grew as she saw him waver.
There's hope!
So she mouthed a signal to the little one.
'I'm not a bad person. Come and play with me, and I'll give you malt candy.'
On the continent of Coral, sugar is an extremely expensive food, affordable only to nobles. Faced with such temptation, the little guy couldn't resist and darted out from behind a tree, running barefoot towards Maggie.
"!"
When Maggie saw this, her heart melted, and she couldn't help but scream inside.
She's so innocent and adorable!
Young elves are truly the most healing beings in the world.
"Mom won't let me get close to humans. Let's go inside quickly so Mom doesn't see us."
When Maggie was about to speak, the little guy made a 'shh' gesture in front of his lips and whispered in a soft voice.
"!"
The little guy stretched out his tiny hand and pulled Maggie towards the house. Maggie was instantly overwhelmed with happiness.
Only after leading Maggie into the treehouse did the little guy relax and pat his chest.
"Luckily, my mom didn't find out."
He randomly picked a chair in the room and sat down. Because he was too short, his two short legs couldn't touch the ground, so he could only sway back and forth in mid-air.
Maggie simply sat down opposite him, staring at him with eyes that said, "I like him so much" and "He's so cute."
Logically speaking, when humans and elves sit together, they are either negotiating or at odds, as long as their interests are aligned.
But things just happened to be so coincidental. A young elf full of curiosity about humans and a human girl whose heart was melted by the elf's cuteness just happened to meet, and they just happened to be curious about each other, so they sat together harmoniously.
Here you go, the candy I promised you.
Maggie took out some malt candy from her pocket and handed it to the little guy.
The little guy took the candy and eagerly took a big bite, only to have his face scrunch up from the sweetness the next second.
"It's too sweet! So sweet it's almost bitter!"
The little guy chewed on the malt candy with a sad face, reluctant to spit it out, but it was so sweet that he couldn't stop complaining.
Maggie couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Pfft, hahaha."
It has to be said that even with his expression contorted, the little guy's exceptionally handsome face still makes him remarkably good-looking.
"Don't laugh! How can humans be so mean!"
The little guy angrily took another bite of maltose candy, but this time the bite was much smaller. He savored the sweet taste and a happy expression appeared on his face.
"I'm not a bad person, I'll even give you candy."
Maggie shrugged, then started acting like a scoundrel about mocking him.
"Oh, you're right."
To everyone's surprise, the little guy actually showed a thoughtful expression, and then nodded seriously, agreeing with Maggie's words.
