There were also many children among the elves, and they were not at all intimidated by Erin's cold expression, but ran from all directions and played around Erin. Although Erin seemed to frown as well, she didn't say anything.

"Sister Irene, where's the gift?" A little elf girl, Candle Erin's long dress, which is actually worn by elven women, but is not designed to interfere with movement, looks up at Erin with wide eyes.

“…… Emily, I didn't go out on patrol today, and I couldn't collect those berries......" There was some helplessness in Erin's tone - this made Ji Ran and the others' eyes widen, Erin actually had such a helpless time?

But it was clear that the little girl, Emily, didn't seem to understand Erin's words very well, but she knew that she couldn't get the gift, so she immediately showed a look of disappointment on her face. The other children next to him were the same, and they were silent for a while.

"Oh no, actually. Because Sister Erin is coming to pick us up, her friends, I don't have time to help you find gifts. Why don't I give you some gifts on behalf of Sister Erin to show our apologies? ”

Ji Ran saw that Erin seemed to be at a loss, and immediately stepped forward to relieve the siege. And as for the gifts...... In Ji Ran's magic pocket, there has never been a shortage of all kinds of dried fruits and candied fruits!

Although these things also appear in this world, they are quite rough and cannot be compared with Ji Ran's zuò. Not to mention the taste, just the sweet smell that emanates after taking it out immediately attracts those children.

However, those elf children obviously didn't trust Ji Ran and other "strange-looking" guys that were so trusting. So they still gathered around Erin. One by one, they stared closely at the dried fruits and candied fruits in Ji Ran's hands. Some of the younger ones have even started to bite their fingers.

"Don't worry. He's a good guy...... Sort of a good person. What he gives you, you can take it. Erin's words made the group of children give up their worries, and they ran over one by one quickly, surrounding Ji Ran.

Ji Ran didn't put this kind of small snack in his magic pocket...... He was a greedy man himself, and Alice was a gourmet...... Usually the Lord who can't be idle in his mouth. So once there is an endless fruit, Ji Ran will deal with it and turn it into dried candied fruit or something to keep for later enjoyment. And the fresh magic pocket can store these things for a long time, and the result is more and more accumulated......

Give each of these children a handful. The dried fruit in his pocket showed no sign of diminishing.

A group of children happily ran back to Erin's side, and then carefully put the dried fruit in their mouths...... After that, there was an exclamation.

"It's so delicious, it's better than the berries!" All the elven children had happy expressions on their faces.

Ji Ran smiled on the side, secretly thinking that he had made these dried fruit preserves with his own cooking skills, and he also added fourth- and fifth-level honey...... Can it not be delicious? These elven children are really pitiful, and they usually only have berries or something to use as snacks......

"Alright, you guys go play with these, I'm going to entertain my friends." Erin looked at the group of children. I instructed. So the little ones ran off into the distance with shouts of joy, clutching the dried fruit preserves in their hands. The small pockets on the body are also full. It seems that they should be able to have a happy day.

"Elves live a simple life and don't pursue too much enjoyment. Nature has an abundance of things to offer, so no one is short of food...... But they can't eat what you make. ”

Erin looked at the children who had run away, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly...... This is not the same as the smile she showed in the face of Ji Ran and the others before, with a rare feeling of tenderness.

"It's not a problem. Making zuò dried fruit is not a very complicated thing, although it may not be comparable to what I made with a special method, but anyone can make delicious dried fruit if you want. ”

Ji Ran shrugged his shoulders and looked at Erin.

"If you want, I can leave the zuò method behind. That might make the Elven Forest one more specialty, wouldn't it? ”

Erin was stunned when she heard this, but she quickly recovered.

"Elven Forest is not like your distillery, and will open a joint venture with you...... Moreover, this method of making zuò dried fruits and preserves is not very suitable for ......"

"No, no, no, I mean, leave this method to the elves, gratuitous." Ji Ran smiled and walked to Erin's side.

"I have enough money to spend now...... In fact, what I need now is no longer something that money can buy. Dried fruit preserves or something, I didn't think about making money with them at all. Leave it to the elves, I think it's a good choice. The Elven Forest is rich in products, and the elves have a good relationship with Warcraft and animals, so it is a good place to produce these things naturally. Moreover, the elf's cooking habits are different from mine, so I might be able to make this dried fruit candied fruit zuò different from my taste......"

In the end, Ji Ran also glanced at the elf children who were happily playing in the distance.

"Besides, I like how happy they are. Let them have a sweet taste in their future lives, which is also a very pleasant thing for me to be physically and mentally happy. ”

What Ji Ran said was extremely natural and unpretentious, as if he had been thinking so for a long time. But everyone knew that he must have been improvised...... Who would have thought that they would meet a group of elven children in an elven village and distribute snacks to them?

“…… Since you said that, I'm serious. Wait a minute, you can leave the method and recipe for making zuò or something, I think there will be a lot of elves who like this thing. ”

Erin glanced deeply at Ji Ran again, then turned her head and continued to walk towards a big tree.

Baker in the back approached Ji Ran, and put his arm around Ji Ran's neck with a thief's eyebrows: "I suddenly feel that something is not right...... When I think back to the old days, I realize that I am really an afterthought......"

Although he didn't say anything explicitly, everyone could hear what he meant.

Ban also patted Ji Ran on the shoulder: "If it's you...... No problem. ”

Rice smiled strangely: "I used to think you were an honest man...... It's true. ”

The three of them all walked towards the front, leaving only Ji Ran, who was crying and laughing on the spot.

“…… Sister Erin is very good, very good, I know. At this time, Lydia came to Ji Ran's side, bit her lip and said such a sentence, then turned her head and ran towards Erin.

…… What is this?

Ji Ran even wanted to shout, but it was obvious that the current situation was not suitable for him to do so...... He didn't dare to do that.

It's better to pretend to be an ostrich...... They're not going to be too ridiculous anyway, are they?

It's just Lydia...... Ji Ran shook his head vigorously and shook off the feeling of irritability in his heart. There will definitely be a way, and it will get better......

Ji Ran could only comfort himself like this.

The big tree that Erin had traveled to was where she lived now. In the middle of the tree there was a rather small wooden house, the same color as the bark of the tree, and it was impossible to see from a distance that there was a building that could live here.

Speaking of which, there are many stout trees in the Elven Forest...... Not necessarily particularly tall, but extremely stout, with a radius of at least a few meters. And building a wooden house on such a stout tree is not a complicated task.

There are special architects in the elves, and they are good at not stacking bricks and tiles, but transforming plants...... Especially trees. They have the power to communicate with plants, and they can even use their power to change the shape of plants to create the theme of the wooden house...... It's just that the process is so long that it's almost impossible to fight.

And the one who can fight with these traits is the druid among the elves.

Underneath Irene's hut is a staircase made up of exposed roots and branches, which allows one to enter the hut very easily. And after entering the wooden house, Ji Ran and the others also saw what a real elven abode looked like.

All the qiē in the room seems to be made of wood...... And it's a very rough kind of wood that hasn't been treated too much.

Even large furniture such as tables and chairs are made directly from the branches and other things from this tree! They even have verdant leaves on them and are still growing!

This makes the whole wooden house look harmonious...... It is even one with the big tree outside. A sense of nature pervades the entire wooden house, making you feel like you are in the lap of this tree.

They had seen the wooden houses in the harbor, but most of them were for human merchants...... It's not much different from a human house, it's just a lot more basic. But the real elven wooden house, although it is also very rough, does not give people a shabby feeling at all...... It's even a little gorgeous.

In amazement, the crowd sat down in the chairs of the house. Erin only fiddled around the room a few times, and there were several extra chairs in the room...... This is also the convenience of this type of wooden house.

"I happened to be patrolling this village recently, so I rushed over quickly when I got the news from you. I have to say, you guys are in luck. ”

Erin sat down too, still grim, but everyone could sense a hint of enthusiasm in her words.

After more than two years of not seeing each other, old friends are reunited, and even Erin cannot be indifferent.

"It's a nice place...... Is this how elves usually live? No wonder they all say that elves are children of the forest, and your lives are almost tied to the forest......"

Baker looked around at Yiqiē, his mouth full of amazement.

"You're right, that's what elves are like. But for me...... Those days outside the forest are also worth remembering. ”

Erin brought a plate from another room and handed out the drinks to the crowd, answering Baker in passing. (To be continued......)
