On the hastily erected makeshift wooden table, a dazzling array of dishes dazzled the eyes of the three elven rangers. For the first time, Eric felt that the elegant elves might not be as good as the rumored barbaric and backward demons in terms of culinary culture. Judging from the red, green, and green colors and the rich aroma that makes people extremely satisfied, this meal has not been in vain. At least Captain Ranger has seen enough of this surprising alien culture.

"The three of us are the first guests of Andrare's arrival in Garlandia, so please don't be inhibited. I'm sure you'll love our food, and our friends in Thornleaf Village have praised some of our dishes. Andrei smiled and signaled that the guests were ready to go.

"Can you eat all of these!?"

The young trainee ranger was a little overexcited, but could this kind of question be asked out loud in front of his master? Eric wondered who taught the etiquette lesson to this guy in his squad!

"Of course! For us in Andrari, anything that can be swallowed has the potential to become delicious food. André was not worried about the deep contact of these long-eared people with moral purity into him, because he and his men did not contain any evil intentions. As long as they are willing to communicate with themselves, the Children of the Abyss have the confidence to be conquered by Andrari's unique charm.

As Barot used to say, what else could elf cook but bread and mushroom soup?

"Then you're welcome!" Arrett couldn't wait to move his chopsticks.

Speaking of which, the custom of chopsticks has been popularized in the culture of elves thousands of years ago, which Andrei never expected before. It is said that this kind of tableware used in formal banquets was actually passed down from the dragon clan, which was the source of civilization, and this special sense of disobedience was as strange to Andre as Marilyn Monroe's classic dress pressing posture, when she actually wore a cheongsam.

I just don't know if this custom originated from a coincidence or some other reason.

Not to mention the slightly weird details of this painting style, at least the chicken stew with bamboo shoots and the roasted konjac with venison completely conquered the taste buds of the three guests with a strong enough attitude. Just when Eric began to think that this lunch was not as bad as he thought. Livia, the attendant, brought out her home-brewed green amber again.

"This ...... In fact, we are still on duty, and it is not convenient for us to drink. ”

Even the wine is gone! Although the Ranger Captain was already curious, the most basic sense of responsibility made him politely decline.

"Captain, you're wrong!" said Al, with a serious look on his face, as if his captain had made some very serious mistake of principle.

"Huh!?"

"What's the number one priority on our guard mission right now?"

"Uh...... Know what an alien friend thinks?" In front of his master, Eric was really embarrassed to say that the entire ranger team of three hundred people was all around this group of uninvited guests from the Demon Realm, and the first priority of all of them was to monitor the every move of the group of demons in front of them.

"Isn't wine such a wonderful thing as a cultural heritage a convenient way for us to get to know our friends of different races!?"

Eric knew very well that Al was actually a glutton, but in front of the demon master, he could only have a very reasonable expression, and I was speechless.

......

Eric and his team had a pleasant lunch. Transformed into a raven, Yudeon hurried day and night back to the Watcher's station, the site of the decisive battle that had led to the narrow walkway in the Whispering Forest that had not been fully restored for five hundred years.

He was greeted by the elders who had been at the forefront of that war as leaders, and the years had left an irreparable mark on them, making their once heroic figure look extremely thin now. The old men stood silently on both sides of the hallway, waiting for Yudeon to make a further report.

"First of all, the appearance of this group of demons is only a special case, and the seal of the goddess has not been loosened yet. ”

After hearing the news that the seal of the abyss pit was still stable, all the old men who were worried about the reappearance of the demon clan after receiving the urgent report quietly relaxed their clenched fists.

"In addition, they claim to have a completely different civilization from any demon race we've seen before. They also brought from the Demon Realm the exact news of the heroes who fell into the abyss along with the entire limestone mountain in that final battle, as well as their descendants. ”

"It's unbelievable! They managed to save their lives in the collapse of the mountain caused by the great power of nature!? Thank you to the goddess of mercy for her protection!"

"How many descendants of the warriors made up of elves, dwarves, and orcs are there left, and are there any old friends we know alive!?"

"It is said that the orc warriors have all returned to the goddess decades after that battle, and none of them have any female members. The warriors of the Greystone Clan have re-spawned a new tribe of more than 1,000 people, and as for our elven heroes, most of them are still alive and well, among them Marserion and Quinn, who had achieved a great deal of success in that war, and together they have established a new village called 'Thorn Leaf Village'. ”

"It's too good to be real......"

"Thank you to the Great Goddess!"

After a brief celebration of the blessing, some people raised questions that are more debatable at the moment.

"Now that their path back has been completely damaged, we can only think long-term. But those demons who can actually coexist peacefully with dwarves and elves, what do they want?"

"They want to be able to use the Whispering Forest to establish friendly relations with our elves, and in order to defend themselves against other enemies that may exist, they even hope to settle near the Emerald River Valley. ”

"Although the Emerald River Valley is one of the main routes into the forest, the nearest village of Lengtan is also nearly a day's walk away, and it is not a very important place. But don't you think it's ironic that those brutal and bloodthirsty demons want to rely on the kindness and protection of our elves to survive on this land today!?"

"You have a point, but there are less than a hundred demons in this group, except for one son of the abyss and fourteen middle and low-level demons, the rest are all cowardly demons. This is a team that can be absolutely suppressed with only one ranger brigade, and this scale of the demon race may mean a once-in-a-century opportunity for us! I think it's okay to appease them in order to explore the way to coexist with the demons, after all, the goddess has already passed down the oracle, and the loosening of the seal may be in the next hundred years!"

"But who can guarantee that they are not harboring dissent! Who knows if they are honest on the surface, but secretly planning some ulterior conspiracy!?Why do I have to accommodate them!?Five hundred years ago, it was they who blasphemed the good intentions of our elven kingdom!!"

"No one can guarantee anything, but their numbers have determined that they can't afford to make too many waves, and this is indeed a rare opportunity......

"If they take advantage of our unpreparedness and hurt our people, who is to blame for this!?"

"But this kind of attempt has the potential to save thousands of lives in a hundred years! We should not blindly resist and hate them for fear of being hurt!"

"Who can guarantee that this attempt will end well!? Who will be responsible if something goes wrong......

"Everyone, please be silent!" a low, soft female voice interrupted the argument among the elders, "the Goddess teaches us that there are many possibilities for everything, but as hearsay, should we first listen to all the thoughts of those who have personally come into contact with those of the alien race, and get his opinion?"

His Royal Highness had already expressed his attitude, and the two sides of the dispute were so quiet.

"Those demons have already learned some of the art of growing food from our relatives in Thornleaf Village, and they have even completed a new forging process with the dwarves of the Limestone Clan!" Yudeon recalls the long magic knife that the adult elf was so tall and only a finger's wide, but could easily split through rocks, and considered his words more and more carefully," According to Barot, the dwarven emissary of Shattered Sky Mountain, this weapon created by this new process, which has just been proven to have not yet had time to be carefully perfected, has a tough texture and powerful destructive power that breaks through the traditional dwarven forging! I think at least this magical new craft should be spread between the dwarves and the elves in order to deal with possible wars in the future!"

"Everybody's heard it. Her Highness, dressed in green robes, looked around at everyone present, and out of respect for her, no one questioned, "Yudeon, do you have anything else to add?"

"They...... The demons have mastered the art of domesticating beasts, and they have many other skills in preserving and handling food that we don't know about, making it really difficult for me to connect this tribe that calls itself Andrarui with the savage and bloodthirsty invaders of hundreds of years ago. ”

"In that case, then the matter is decided. His Royal Highness directly summarized the discussion, "Now the Steel Feather Legion and the Seventeenth Brigade stationed at the edge of the forest are directly responsible for monitoring and pacifying this group of demons. At the same time, some craftsmen were drawn from the villages near the river valley to help them establish their homes as quickly as possible. ”

"Your Highness, shouldn't we wait and see for a while and then make a concrete decision, so that the undiscussed plan may be omitted in many details that we cannot anticipate......"

"I'm solely responsible for this. Although the years have left some traces on the eldest princess's face, every time Her Royal Highness, who is no longer young, makes a serious decision, her amazing charm is still undeniable.

"Do you have any other opinions?"

"Now that Your Highness Lozan has decided to pay attention to this matter personally, then we can rest assured. ”

For the elven eldest princess who personally led the coalition to repel the demon invaders five hundred years ago, Her Royal Highness Loshan Garlandia, all the elders belonging to the "Watcher" expressed complete convincing in tacit understanding.
