The Green Sons seem to be really fond of the Knights. Even if Leon left the woodland and caught up with Buckham, who set off first, these little guys had no intention of leaving. They still flew around the Blood Lion and let out small laughs from time to time. And thanks to the green light emitted by these forest elves, Leon, an ordinary person who has no way to see at night, can barely keep up with the pace of the elves.

But the following was not endless, and when the morning sun fell through the trees, the sons of the green, who seemed to be by Leon's side just a moment disappeared. Seeing the Blood Lion's confused expression, Bakham explained.

"They are invisible in the sun. If you want to see the Children of Green during the day, you must first establish a link to the forest. ”

"So you can still see them, right?" asked the chief knight, realizing that the elves were all closely related to the forest they lived in. Although he didn't understand what Bakham was referring to, Leon subconsciously thought that the other party should have done this. Who knew that this was the most embarrassing thing for Buckm, as an adult elf, a forest ranger, he was rejected by the forest that raised him.

“...... I can't. Not all elves are loved by the forest. After a brief silence, Bakham finished the sentence at a brisk pace, then quickened his feet, not wanting to answer Leon's question again.

As the elf quickened his pace, the two soon arrived at the location of what Bakham called "Mentor". As the field of vision suddenly widened, a clear spring gushed out of the rising stone crevice, merging into a small pond at the feet of the two of them. At this time, on the edge of the pond, there are many animals that have come here to drink water, and an elf sitting peacefully on the edge of the pond.

The elf was dressed in a garment of leaves and vines, and had a large white beard that was haphazardly braided with grass stems at the lower end of the beard. Opposite this impressive beard was the elf's hair, and Leon swore that even the most unkempt beggar would not have such a messy long hair that could already cover the elf's body!

In that long gray hair, there were clods of dirt, leaves, and even some insects. From time to time, birds that come to drink water will fly to the elf's side and peck at the worms in his hair. Not only the birds and finches, but also the surrounding animals did not care about the spirit at all, and their attitude towards the spirit was like treating a stone that was already on the edge of a pond.

In fact, if it weren't for the face in the hair and the two long ears sticking out of the hair, Leon would have almost thought that the elf was just a rock with vines and plants. However, Buckham did not care, and dragged the corpse of the nezumi to the old elf, and this action frightened all the animals that had been stopping and playing to flee into the woods.

"Teacher, I'm back. No one responded to Bakham's words. It was only then that Leon realized that the old elf sitting on the ground had his eyes closed.

The young elf called out to his mentor several more times, but after no response, Bakham's patience seemed to be exhausted, and he put down the nezumi's corpse, pressed his hands on the shoulders in the old elf's hair, and began to shake violently back and forth.

"It's time to get up, old fellow!"

Leon's facial muscles twitched as he watched Bakham shake his mentor like this for nearly a minute before two wizened hands reached out of his lush hair and grabbed the young elf's arm. With an elven language that the chief knight didn't understand, Bakham stopped his movements.

The furry elf struggled to his feet from the ground, and it was only then that Leon noticed that he had a mossy wooden cane stuck beside him. And as the old elf moved, some butterflies and beetles flew out of his hair, which made one wonder how many tenants lived in the old man's hair.

"Oh, looks like we have guests. "There is no need for Buckham's introduction, the old elf has already noticed Leon, after all, the knight chief is still a very conspicuous presence. At the same time, as the elf's gaze met the blood lion's eyes, Leon noticed that the other party's eyes flashed with green light. It's like the kind of glow that only comes when cheese casts spells.

Seeing this scene, Leon instinctively jumped backwards and made a battle posture at the same time. However, the attack he expected did not arrive for a long time, but Bakham looked at the knight chief with disdain, and silently walked past him to drag the corpse of the nezumi.

"Roar, sorry human guest. Looks like my eyes scared you?" said the old elf to Leon with a smile, his human language even more fluent than Bakem, "I'm sorry, these old eyes do look strange. ”

"This is proof that you are approved by the will of nature. I was so frightened that I could only say that this human being was too lonely and unheard. The elf dragging the corpse said, placing the nezumi-man's body in front of the old elf, "This is what you asked me to find." There are a few smaller ones that I can't bring back. ”

"Looks like these unclean things are causing you a lot of trouble?" Buckham tried his best to hide it, but the old elf saw his blind eye.

"It's all this human being holding back, otherwise I wouldn't be like this. Unceremoniously throwing the blame on Leon's head, the young elf said. But it was clear that such a simple lie would not deceive his mentor.

The old elf shook his head, there was a lot of controversy about this junior, and the rest of the clan had a lot of controversy, otherwise he wouldn't have handed Bakham over to him to take care of. You know, teaching young people is not something an elder like him should waste time doing. If it weren't for the fact that the population of elves has always been in a state of tension, every young person must focus on cultivating, and an "outlier" like Bakham probably wouldn't be able to join the ranks of forest rangers.

"I'm sorry for the crazy stuff you've been listening to all the way. Bakham isn't bad by nature, he just doesn't know how to control himself. ”

Leon didn't care about this, if Bakham's temper made him unbearable, wouldn't those aristocratic young masters and young ladies who had been spoiled since childhood and full of unrealistic fantasies force the knight to draw his sword and cut people?

"You're serious. I didn't feel anything uncomfortable. Leon bowed slightly, this is the attitude that a knight should have towards an elder.

"That's good, after all, there aren't many humans like you who are loved by the Green Child. If you hate the forest because of this, it's a loss for both you and me. The old elf said as he held out one of his hands, as if to greet something unseen. According to Leon's speculation, it was the Green Son who had followed him here.

"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Buckham's mentor, and you can call me Atwood or Green Rod if you like. ”

"Leon, the second head of the knights of the king of the kingdom of the Greylion. ”
