After a few hours, the voices outside the carriage gradually became noisy, and Sean put his arms around Celia and casually glanced at the outside world with his mental power.

"Hmm...... It seems to have arrived, is this where the elves live? Sure enough, it's very close to nature. ”

He stretched, took care of Celia's clothes a little, and then directly mobilized his mana to open the curtains in the carriage, allowing the outside sunlight to shine into the carriage again.

"It's so beautiful, whether it's a building or a person, it's very pleasing to the eye."

With this exclamation, Sean poked his head out of the car window, wanting to see everything outside.

Tall, sturdy trees dot the roadside, their lush green foliage that shades some of the sun's rays, but occasionally allows the sun to cast a round spot in the shadows.

The diameter of these trees is quite thick, and the knotted roots are so deep in the earth that even Cien's mental strength can hardly reach the bottom.

Between the huge canopy, exquisitely shaped tree houses are hanging, some of them stand alone on a large tree, and some span several trees, looking quaint and gorgeous.

There are similar structures underneath the trees, but the wooden houses are leaning against the roots, with vines and flowers decorating the outer walls, and wooden staircases wrap upwards to connect the huts of different heights.

This is Silver Leaf City, the most prosperous city of the Silver Leaf Tribe, and also the administrative and economic center of the entire tribe, this small city is home to more than 30,000 elves, although the population is not large, but the area is very vast.

Most of the buildings here are made of trees, and many special techniques are often used in the construction process to make them blend perfectly with the surrounding environment, without the slightest contradiction.

Just like what Sean just saw, a large number of tall and low elven wooden houses surround the giant trees, and even some high-end tree houses will directly dig tree holes for transformation, and use some special methods to prevent the trees from withering and grow normally.

Of course, none of this comes naturally.

The vibrant forest scene in Silverleaf City is actually the result of years of hard work by countless Druyin and Nature Spellcasters, who rely on this behavior to keep their souls close to nature and constantly look for opportunities to upgrade.

In other words, most of the giant trees in Silverleaf City were artificially created, and although they were not bad in terms of sturdiness and durability, they were not precious materials at all, they were just ordinary mutant tree species.

……

But even so, Silverleaf City became the dream place of all the elves in the Forest of Liadon.

You know, since the policy of increasing a large number of people was forcibly implemented, the population of the elves has been forced to grow rapidly, it is said that this elf race was only a few thousand people when they first moved here, but in the process of human breeding for so many years, it has rapidly expanded dozens of times.

The massive growth of the population has accelerated the consumption of resources, and at the same time, the elves' already scarce living land has become even more scarce.

In order to allow the surplus population to continue in the Forest of Liadon, the elves outside Silverleaf City had to choose to change their way of survival.

They have obtained a large enough land by cutting down a lot of forests, and with the help of human "kindness", they have built a series of ground buildings made of wood and stone or new materials, and although they have to pay a large amount of rent for these land and buildings every year, at least the basic conditions for survival are guaranteed.

Therefore, according to Sean's understanding, in the entire Liaton Forest, only Silver Leaf City still retains the traditional forest spirit architecture and part of the way of life.

Countless elves living in the periphery don't want to settle here all the time and live a good and comfortable life, but it's a pity that Silver Leaf City usually doesn't accept elves from other cities for household registration transfer, so unless there are other adventures, ordinary elves may not be able to come a few times in their lives.

One of the most typical examples is the slaves like Celia, who have been kept in a slave training camp since childhood, without any contact with the outside world, and the heavily guarded city is like a huge prison, transforming them into the best goods and placing them on the shelves for people to choose from.

Yes, the first time Celia had seen Silverleaf City in her life was during an opening period more than a year ago.

At that time, she was brought here with a group of slaves with the same fate, waiting for the judgment of fate.

Her future, everything she has, is all materialized as a commodity for others to choose, she has no right to resist and choose, and even has to show her best side every moment according to the rules, so that customers from all over the world can choose.

Thankfully, Celia's luck was really good, and on her first day of appearance, she was bought by a nobleman named Reinado for a high price, and eventually resold it to her current owner, Sean.

It is precisely because of this that she can return to Silver Leaf City safely and happily like now, and return to this "hometown" that she has never seen a few times.

……

Looking at the elves walking on the side of the road in elegant costumes outside, Celia was slightly distracted, not knowing what she was thinking.

"What's wrong? Envy them? ”

Sean noticed her emotion, tugged at the collar around her neck with a hint of displeasure in his heart, and asked aggressively.

"No, master, I'm sorry ......"

After hearing Sean's words, Celia, who was still in deep thought, suddenly jumped in her heart, she quickly lowered her body and knelt beside Sean, and then put her hands around Sean's thighs and rubbed her head gently.

After serving by her master's side for a long time, Celia also adapted to this kind of life, and she gradually figured out how her master behaved under various emotions, as well as some imperceptible habits in daily life.

Celia knows that Sean is not a person who likes to get angry, and the various mood swings he shows in his daily life are just ripples on the water, although they look scary, they will dissipate naturally in a short time, and in fact they will not have much effect.

And once Sean is really uncomfortable or even angry, his language will not only not become fierce and irritable, but will be calmer and clearer, like an undercurrent under the water, inconspicuous, but extremely dangerous.

This is the case with Sean now, although the questions he asks are very ordinary, as if he is really asking her opinion, but the low and steady tone of voice instantly makes Celia panic, and she understands what she has done wrong just now.

"Let go."

Sean slowly straightened his sleeves, not even looking at her.

His voice was full of indifference, as if he had forgotten the words and tenderness he had spoken not long ago, and this transformation pierced Celia's heart like a sharp sword, causing her to feel unparalleled pain and panic.

"Please...... Please listen to my explanation......"

Celia tried desperately to hold back her tears, not wanting them to gush out, but her body seemed to no longer listen to her, not only was her whole body stiff to the point of not being able to move, but even tears were like pearls with broken threads, drenching the floor of the carriage.

"I don't want to hear your explanation."

Just as she was choked and tried to continue, Sean interrupted her again.

"The order just now is 'let go', don't let me repeat it a third time."

He reached out and grabbed the staff of reincarnation beside him, staring at Celia with some danger.

"Yes, yes."

Celia's whole body twitched, but finally forced her stiff limbs to move, silently retreated from Sean's side, and then, like a badly injured little beast, looked at Sean pitifully from a little farther away.

The master's order is absolute, and her failure to obey the order at the first time is already a great blasphemy in itself, and if she does not repent after the master's emphasis, it will really not end well.

"Reflect on it, if you have anything to say when you get to the place, if you don't solve the problem, you are ready to stay here."

Sean closed his eyes and rubbed his brows, and said helplessly.

……

The change in his attitude was not without reason, but it was Celia who inadvertently stepped on his lightning point, which made Sean feel quite uncomfortable for a moment before, and made that kind of move.

In Sean's heart, he can be gentle with Celia, can indulge her shortcomings, and even make her happy every day, it doesn't matter, after all, Celia is his slave and his maid, so what does it matter if she is lenient in these aspects?

However, the only thing he can't tolerate is Celia's departure and resistance.

As Celia herself said, she was all Sien's personal belongings, so no matter how much Sean loved a personal item, she would never tolerate it being taken out of his hands.

Even as he became more fond of Celia, so did his desire to completely control her, and he knew that it was a desire for control and possessiveness that could not be curtailed and impulsed, and it was also his nature.

Just now, when Sean noticed that she was looking out of the car window, he actually felt a trace of envy from her eyes and soul fluctuations!

Although it is not clear who Celia envies, her emotions still make a nameless fire suddenly rise in Sean's heart.

You must know that her identity is a slave, she usually treats her well, and even some things she doesn't want to do Sean won't force it, and now she actually begins to envy others? It really made Sean feel like he was a little ridiculous about what he had done before.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Sean decided to teach Celia a profound lesson, so that she would not dare to think about anything else from now on and stay by his side honestly.

……

More than a year will not only allow Celia to understand Sean, but also the opposite.

As Celia's master, Sean of course knew that ordinary physical punishment was nothing to her, and he didn't dare to use too drastic methods, for fear of leaving her a shadow.

Therefore, Sean finally chose a tried and tested trick, that is, cold violence at the psychological level.

This is what Celia fears the most.

In Celia's life, her only faith and pillar is Sean, and as long as she stays by Sean's side, she will become extremely peaceful and comfortable, both physically and mentally purified, and completely relaxed.

And once Sean can snub and alienate her like just now, Celia will naturally not be able to bear the blow and be overwhelmed by negative emotions such as uneasiness, irritability, grievances, and fear.

Although the effect of this wave of operations was extremely remarkable, in the end, Sean still failed to be ruthless, and still chose to give Celia a hope, which made her mental torture much lighter.

……

……

The huge convoy was slowly moving along the roads of the city, attracting the attention of one or two passers-by from time to time, and when they saw Reinado walking side by side in front of the convoy, the residents of Silver Leaf City quickly understood what they meant.

After confirming that Reinado was a merchant like the group of people who had come a few days earlier, the onlookers quickly dispersed listlessly, this kind of merchant team was nothing to look at, if it wasn't for Reinado and the others coming too late, maybe they would have just ignored it.

Reinado didn't care about this either, and under the leadership of the Nine Elder Bettina, he crossed most of Silver Leaf City and came to the area where outsiders were entertained, intending to reorganize the team before making plans.

For the twice-yearly open period, the Silver Leaf Tribe is quite well prepared.

It was almost an isolated residential area, with each visitor assigned a log cabin or treehouse, and during the opening of the tribe, it was the place where the outsiders lived temporarily.

In addition to accommodation, food, chores, guidance and other matters are all available, and even some special services can be provided by the Silver Leaf Tribe.

……

Amid the loud shouts, Sean got out of the car first, and he walked in front without saying a word, followed by Celia with a face full of pleading and grievances.

After a little talk with Reinado, Sean got information about the house he lived in, and Reinado said that he had a lot of things to do there, and he was not free for the time being, and that he would visit Sean again after everything was done in a few hours.

After hearing this, Sean was also very happy, anyway, he himself is not unable to find a place, of course it is good to have no one to disturb, and it is just so good that he can solve the matter on his side by the way, so as not to cause any trouble later.

(I'll change it tomorrow, so don't worry if there's something wrong.) ）
