"Mordrac, my dear son, what are you looking for?" Anna King asked, looking at Modrak.

"My bags, my paintings! ~" Modrek said nervously.

Hearing Mordrac's voice, the servant immediately took Mordrac's bag.

Modrec immediately unpacked, only to find that the painting was missing.

"How could it be gone?" Modrek asked, surprised.

"Son, what are you talking about? Are you hallucinating? Annakin asked, touching Mordrak's forehead.

"Mother, I don't have hallucinations, I did find the elves, they live in the elven forest to the north." Modrek explained to Annakin.

"Ahh

"Mother, what I said is true, if you don't believe it, you ask Andre, and he has seen it." Modrek said to Annakin.

"Andrey?" Anna King asked.

"Yes, if you don't believe me, you can ask Andre and it will be clear, he also saw the elf." Modrek explained to Annakin.

"But, André said, he didn't see anything, you had to go on an adventure in the forest, and then you were stunned by a strange poison, son, it's all an illusion, be sober." Anna King said, holding Mordrak's cheek with both hands.

"How is that possible? Andrei met the elven woman with me, and he met with me, Andrei? Andre? Mordrak shouted outside.

Andrei heard Modrek's call and immediately walked quickly.

"Your Highness?" Andrei stood respectfully by the bed.

"Tell your mother, did we see the elves in the Elven Forest? The elven woman also prepared food and fruit for us, didn't she? Modrek asked, looking at Andre.

"Your Highness, I don't understand what you said, I didn't see the elven woman, nor did I have any food or fruit." As soon as Andre said this, Mordrak's eyes widened in surprise.

"Andrey, why do you say that? You can see it too. Mordrake asked, looking at Andre in surprise.

"Your Highness, we got lost in the forest, ran out of food and water, and then accidentally ate a poisonous weed and almost died, but fortunately we met the patrol and were able to return to the city." Andrei said with palpitations.

"What? Andrey, why do you say that? That's not the case at all. Modrek said with a frown, not believing what André was saying at all.

"Alright, Andrey, you go down." Anakin seems to understand the truth of the matter, it must be her son who has delusions and is mentally confused.

"Yes, ma'am." Andrei nodded respectfully, then exited the bedroom.

"Mordrac, my dear son, you have a good rest, and I will surely find the best priest to pray for you." Anna King told Mordrak to lie down, and then left with the squire.

"You are strictly guarded, and your Highness is not allowed to leave the room for half a step." When Anakin walked to the door, she admonished the two strong guards.

"Yes! ~" The two guards responded in unison.

"Why? Why is this happening? Is it really just an illusion? Mordrak's brow furrowed, his head a little drowsy, and his mood very agitated.

"If it's just a dream, what about my paintings? Why is the painting I painted for her gone? Modrek was very strange, he vaguely felt that Andre must be lying, if everything before him was just a dream, why did his memory be so clear?

Just as Modrek was deeply questioning, suddenly, he saw in his bag the flower branch that had been worn by the elf girl, and there was a faint dampness and a faint smell of flowers on the flower branch.

"No, it must be Andre lying on purpose, I really saw the elves, I really went deep into the elven forest." Modrek said in surprise, and he already had a conclusion in his mind.

Mordrak wanted to continue his search for the elf, but his personal freedom was severely restricted, and the guards were watching him twenty-four hours a day, and he couldn't leave the room at all.

Mordrake's intrusion into the Elven Forest aroused the alarm of the elven tribe, and the fact that Ji Ran was caught by the female snitch Merlin was also known to Grandma Sophia.

The elves felt that this was a blatant provocation by humans, and although she let Modrek go, her dissatisfaction with humans became more and more obvious.

"The Elven Forest has been our land since ancient times, and humans will never be allowed to touch it, and if any more humans come here, every member of the clan has the obligation to expel them unceremoniously, understand?" Sophia summoned all the elves and said.

"Got it! ~"The elves responded in droves, full of hostility towards humans.

After the elf assembly, Grandma Sophia gave the painting to Ji Ran, it was a portrait of Ji Ran painted by Mordrak, he painted it completely based on the impression of Ji Ran in his mind, although some details are not accurate, but it is very rare to spend so much.

Ji Ran likes this painting very much, it is the most precious gift given to her by Sophia's grandmother.

In this world, it is rare that someone can paint themselves so vividly.

After Ji Ran got this painting, he often admired her, and he felt a sense of loneliness.

Sometimes, I will be alone for a long time, and I will be fascinated.

The longer I look at it, the more strange it feels, and sometimes I even wonder if this painting is me.

Just like Ji Ran sometimes looks at the mirror in a daze, the girl in the mirror is beautiful and fragrant, and every detail is impeccable, but after watching it for a long time, you will feel that all this seems to be fake, and gradually from the most familiar face, slowly becoming unfamiliar, and then later, there will even be an inexplicable fear.

I'm actually afraid of myself...

However, despite this, Ji Ran still likes this painting very much, and at the same time, she is also curious, why would a human being paint for herself so carefully?

Just one side, he can paint so beautifully, if two people get along day and night, I wonder if he will create a better painting?

Thinking of this, Ji Ran suddenly felt so interesting, and actually wanted to try this idea.

Of course, Ji Ran was just thinking about it in her heart, she had already promised Grandma Sophia that she would not leave the Elven Forest for half a step, otherwise, she would be severely punished.
