Looking at the handsome man's outstretched hand, Agnes was stunned at first, then hesitated slightly. After a few seconds, she stretched out her hand, held Wayne's hand, and let the other party pull her up from the ground.
Looking at Wayne's handsome face, she first said thank you softly, then glanced at the feline beast that had become a corpse on the ground, and then said, "My name is Aigles, thank you for saving me, Wayne."
After saying thank you, Agnes looked at Wayne's amber cat eyes and a pair of pointed ears revealed after taking off his disguise. She hesitated and didn't know what to say.
Under normal circumstances, if the other party is a human being, as a tree spirit, what she has to do is to expel the other party or simply kill the other party.
But now, Wayne not only saved her life, but also seemed to be an elven demon hunter.
The dryads have no hatred against the elves and even thousands of years ago, they were companions who fought together against human massacres.
But as a tree spirit, their race does not have the custom of inviting outsiders as guests. Moreover, Aegles is still a young tree spirit who has just reached adulthood. She has no right to make decisions that go against tradition.
Seeing the beautiful girl in front of him looking a little embarrassed, Wayne kept smiling. He reached into his waist bag, took out a handful of colorful high-end candies, and handed them to the girl.
"Aigles? What a beautiful name. By the way, we can wait for your companions here together. This is the candy I made by myself. You must have never tasted such delicious food."
This candy was carefully made by him using various high-end materials. Not only did it taste excellent, but it also had the added bonus of his cooking skills. To be frank, this was the most delicious candy in the world, and he prepared it specifically for those girls who had never seen the world.
Even sorceresses like Triss and Keira, who often attended high-end banquets, praised the candies he made.
After all, Agnes was still an inexperienced dryad girl. Facing the candy handed to her by Wayne and looking at the gentle smile on the witcher's face, the dryad girl hesitated for a few seconds, then reached out to take it.
Then, encouraged by Wayne's eyes, the dryad girl quite innocently peeled a candy and put it into her mouth.
“So sweet!”
The moment she ate the candy, Aigles' eyes lit up and a happy smile appeared on her face unconsciously, the kind of happy smile that comes from tasting delicious food, especially sweets.
The dryad girl didn't say anything else. She had a sweet expression on her face, as if she was immersed in the happiness of enjoying sweets. Wayne, on the other hand, was admiring the girl's unconcealed, exquisitely shaped body with the eyes of appreciating a work of art.
After about a minute or two, Wayne heard some noise and looked towards the treetops a few dozen meters away. Sure enough, he found four equally naked tree spirits appearing there, holding bows and arrows in their hands, looking at Wayne with vigilance.
The two sides looked at each other for a few seconds, and the plump, older tree spirit in the lead shouted at him with a serious expression: "Who are you? Why did you appear in our forest? What did you do to Aegles?"
Perhaps because the distance was too far, they did not see Wayne's appearance clearly. The tone of the older tree spirit was murderous, as if as long as Wayne gave a bad answer, the tree spirits would shoot him to death with their bows and arrows.
Seeing this, Wayne remained calm. He took a step back, away from Agnes, then raised his hand to indicate that he was not holding any weapon.
Agnes, who was originally indulging in the sweetness, was awakened by her companion's voice. She immediately turned around and said to her companion, "Malika, don't attack Wayne. He is an elf hunter. He just saved me from the forest panther. He is not our enemy."
The tree elf named Marika in the distance hesitated slightly after hearing Aglaise's call, but soon came over with three other tree elves.
When they saw Wayne's iconic features of a demon hunter and an elf, they all let down their guard.
The plump tree spirit named Marika should be of a higher status. She first looked at Aegles who was holding some candies with a strange look, then looked at Wayne seriously for a long time, then bowed her head to Wayne and said sincerely: "Thank you, demon hunter Wayne, thank you for saving my companion Aegles."
"However, I still want to ask, why did you appear inside the Brokilon Forest? And how did you get through our outer cordon?"
Hearing this, Wayne nodded to Marika. At this time, the magic carpet had been put into his storage bag, so the tree spirits had no idea how Wayne appeared in the depths of the forest.
"However, since I have met you, I would also like to ask you one thing. As a demon hunter who accepts various commissions, please ask Her Excellency the Dryad Queen if there is any commission that needs our demon hunters to complete."
"If not? I will leave this forest soon and go somewhere else?"
Marika probably didn't expect Wayne to make such a request, but considering the other party's identity as an elf hunter and the fact that he saved her companions, the plump tree elf thought for a few seconds, then turned to Aegles and several other young tree elves and said:
"Aiglais, you guys stay here for now, with the demon hunter."
"I will return to Duencanar and ask the queen's advice. Before I come back, do not act rashly."
After saying this, Marika nodded to Wayne and said, "Demon Hunter Wayne, I will report your question to Her Majesty the Queen, but before I tell you the answer, you'd better stay here and don't run around."
"This is the forest of the dryads. We don't welcome outsiders."
After saying that, Marika ran quickly towards the inside of the forest at a very agile speed and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
After admiring the beautiful figure of the plump dryad as she ran, Wayne turned to look at the four young dryads around him.
He was not stingy and took out some high-end candies from his waist bag and gave some to each of the other three new young dryad girls. Agnes, who had already tasted the sweetness, explained to her three companions how delicious these candies were with a happy face.
In less than a moment, the four young tree elves who were originally ordered to guard Wayne were all immersed in the happiness of tasting delicious candies.
Wayne was not bored either. He looked at the naked bodies of these young tree elf girls one by one with admiration.
After looking at them all, I think Agnes' figure is the most beautiful, with curves in all the right places, and abdominal muscles and waistline from regular exercise. She looks quite delicious, but I don't know if I'll have the chance to taste her in the future.
About half an hour later, Marika came back from a distance, bringing with her the answer from the Dryad Queen, Esna.
"Demon Hunter Wayne, Her Majesty the Queen invites you to enter our home, Duncanar. Her Majesty does have some commissions that can be delivered to you, the demon hunters, to complete."
"However, we must blindfold you before entering Duenkanal. Please understand that we cannot let outsiders know where we live."
"But don't worry, we tree spirits are different from humans. We always keep our promises and will never hurt you."
Wayne knew that this was the tradition of the tree spirits and had no objection to it. Moreover, with his strength and the green dragon light armor he was wearing, he was actually not afraid of these tree spirits at all. In this forest, perhaps only the most powerful tree spirit queen could pose a threat to him.
Ordinary tree spirits, however, have no deterrent power in the face of the ancient blood and his powerful skills.
Seeing that Wayne was blindfolded without any resistance, Marika breathed a sigh of relief and said to the other dryad girls:
"Let's go, let's go back to Duencanar together."
After saying this, Marika took the time to glare at Aegles, and said in a tone that sounded like a lesson: "You should have acted with us, Aegles. If you hadn't run into the demon hunter Wayne, you might have been seriously injured by your recklessness."
