Once in the forest, the distinctive scent of camphor becomes so faint that it is almost imperceptible. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it is a forest in the Northlands, and it is close to the bare wild canyon, this forest is not monotonous at all, and it is full of life.

I don't know what kind of magic the Satie chiefs used to lock a large amount of water in this area, and the water that evaporated under the sun's rays will not rise into the air, but will fall back into the land along an invisible barrier.

That is, the forest grows in a huge greenhouse.

Everywhere you look, there are traces of small animals, bitten branches, long gray and brown hairs on the ground, and small burrows that look like rat holes.

Occasionally, you can hear the sound of birdsong.

Although it is not as good as the forests of the Dawn Mountains, the Satie chiefs are quite clever in creating such a green space on the border of the Wild Canyon.

"Little ghost, you can't just break in like this"

Timia said suddenly.

"What do you mean?"

"Your ears stand out"

Oh......

The round ears of humans are indeed very conspicuous among the elves.

The reason why our ears are shaped this way is to better receive sound signals, and they are sprites to better sense subtle fluctuations in magic.

So the ears of humans are like funnels, and the ears of elves are like antennas.

Once I walked into the city of the Satie Sheikh, any Satie Sheikh would be able to tell at first glance that I was a human ......

"I have a simple spell"

Timia's left hand lifted slightly, touching my ear.

The princess, who was already very weak, now looked as if she had just gotten out of the bed, and she had no strength in her hands at all.

"Okay"

"Oh?"

I shook my head, feeling my long ears shake slightly.

"You can even do this kind of thing? Didn't you say that there is no face-changing spell in this world?"

"No, silly little ghost"

Elle looked at me and covered her mouth with her hand to hold back her laughter.

"It's true that there is no magic to change your appearance, I just project my ears onto your head, which is equivalent to a shadow"

Timia's magic sustains her spirit, and her voice doesn't sound particularly tired, but that's good news for us.

"And what about Ellie?"

"I'm an elf, huh?"

The little guy is so sluggish.

"You're the princess of the Dawn Mountains, won't such a famous King of Destruction be recognized by the Sheikh Satie?"

"Little ghost, you deliberately found fault, didn't you?"

Ellie's face was red, but not because she was shy, just plain angry.

"Hmph, it's like I'm not well-known at all."

Huh?

Timia, why did you get involved with Elle about this kind of thing?

The princess, who was being held in my arms, pouted and turned her head away, as if she was angry with me.

One sentence made the two princesses unhappy, is this my hidden ability?

Sniff~

"It's ...... What does it taste like?"

"Ha, the spices of the Satie chiefs~"

Ellie's heart was eager to float up with the levitation charm to see what was going on, but she was afraid that the enemy would catch her magic, so she could only eagerly walk on her little feet.

Seeing the little guy chasing after me, I was a little embarrassed.

"Hey, Ellie"

"What?"

"You're well-balanced, aren't you?"

"What else do you need to say?"

The little guy did what I thought, jumped up behind me, pulled my clothes, climbed up, and stood on my shoulder, steadily.

"Hmph, little ghost, you're biased towards Ellie"

Timia reached out and grabbed me by the collar and tugged at me twice as a way to express her displeasure.

"Please, Princess, I've been holding you all the time, what else do you have to complain about?"

"Hmph~"

Timia was no longer in trouble.

When I walked out of the forest, I was instantly overwhelmed by the golden light.

Here it is a field with green stalks with clusters of small golden fruits and a rich fragrance.

The ground was almost black dirt, there were no ridges, all the fields were connected, and the wind blew from afar, rustling the crops waist-high.

Small white clumps like catkins floated out from under the shells of these small fruits and drifted all the way to the distance with the wind.

"These are ......?"

"The fields of autumn fennel, from which the Satie chiefs make spices"

"It takes a lot of seeds to produce a small jar, so it's a very valuable thing."

Oh......

I don't know why, but I have a sense of disobedience in my heart.

Because it was a plant that I had never seen before, I was curious to reach out and pick a fruit to take a look.

Syllable.

It's like static electricity, and when your fingers touch these little fruits, they hurt painfully.

"Clams, clams, clams, to be picked with spells~"

The two princesses are laughing at my shallowness.

"Similarly, refining this spice requires a lot of mana, and it takes a lot of elves to work together to drive the spell."

Ooh...... I don't know why I suddenly think of the scene of a group of people fighting and threshing after the wheat harvest in the human world, and it seems that no matter what world it is, the treatment of crops is almost the same.

Walking through the dense fields, my thighs and waist tingling with electricity, I tried to hold Princess Timia as high as I could, so that these little things would not disturb the Princess.

"Those are...... What?"

Walk through the golden fields and onto a stone-paved path with vine plants on the other side of the road.

There are obvious signs of artificial cultivation - rows of wooden shelves are erected here to allow these vines to grow in entanglement.

The turquoise vines have lilac leaves on them, and under the wooden shelves that look like corridors, small red fruits hang one after another.

Each small red fruit is connected to the vine by a special twig, like a hanging light bulb.

"Ah, this can't be grapes, right?"

Because the forms are so similar, I didn't hesitate to say it.

"Clam Clam"

The result drew a burst of ridicule from Ellie.

"Vampire fruit, it's true that it's similar to the berries of your human world, but it's a bit dangerous."

Ellie mentally encouraged me to try it with my fingers.

Anyway, he must have tried to play a prank on me, but I couldn't suppress my curiosity, so I walked down the field and reached out and touched the little red fruit with my fingertips.

"Hurt......

It was as if I had been pricked by a needle, and because it was on my fingertips, it was more sensitive, so I quickly withdrew my hand.

A tiny bead of blood oozed from his finger.

"No, this thing is going to eat people!?"

"That's not it, it's just sucking some mana, but the main medium for storing mana is blood, so it sucks along with blood, so it's called bloodsampire fruit."

"Oh, look~"

Ellie gestured to the little fruit that had bitten me.

The small red fruit just now seems to have become a little bigger, and the color is more vivid.

"This fruit has no roots, no stems, no leaves and no flowers, and can only parasitize on other plants or animals."

"But I didn't expect the Satie chieftains to feed it with this vine"

"Vineman draws his magic from the ground and from the air and from the rain, and then is sucked away by these vampires"

"Eventually picked by the Satie chiefs and then made into fine wine"

Ellie swallowed as she spoke.

It was clear from the soul link that Elle had never been to Satie or drunk the wine produced here, and that all the knowledge in her head came from books.

Is this the Satie chieftain?

Until just now, I had been haunted by a sense of disobedience, and I had the impression that this place should be a river valley inhabited by barbarians, with tents and scattered animal bones.

But now the world in front of me is a completely different scene, and Chief Satie is not as unbearable as I thought.

Their wisdom not only allowed them to survive tenaciously at the edge of the world, but even allowed them to evolve a fine product comparable to that of the Dawn Mountains.

From this, it can be inferred that their society should also have a level of prosperity that is not inferior to that of the Dawn Mountains.
