As the elves prospered, Cosette gradually discovered that the illusion was reaching its limit.

She maintained the illusion for hundreds of years on her own, and it was indeed easy at first, and it didn't cost much mana, but as the race grew, more and more magic needed to maintain the illusion, and she was a little overwhelmed, so it became urgent to rebuild relations with humans.

So she pinned her hopes on Ophelia, thinking that it would not be long before her goal would be achieved, but Ophelia was never heard from again.

Although she did not have the slightest doubt about Ophelia's personality, she also began to reflect on her own thoughts, and finally chose to find a different path, after all, as an elf, it is not appropriate to blindly rely on humans.

So, she decided to research a magic potion that would improve the soil, hoping to make the land beyond the illusion suitable for farming.

She tried hundreds of times, all of which failed, and the most recent one, although it had some effect, lasted only three days.

However, this at least proves that her efforts have not been in vain, and if she continues to study in this direction, she will succeed sooner or later.

She then went out of the illusion every day, sprinkled her newly developed potion on the frozen ground, and in order to prevent her identity from being exposed and causing trouble, she transformed into a deer through transfiguration magic.

Unexpectedly, this time she still ran into trouble, but it was not because of the identity of the elf, but because her disguise was targeted, so she had to hurry back to the illusion.

But just as she ran to the entrance of the illusion, she suddenly sensed a powerful trace of magic, and when she looked closer, she found that they were two giant dragons, although the other party had turned into a human form, but the aura full of danger was all too familiar to her, because her father's wound was left during the battle with the dragon.

Although I don't know what these two dragons are doing here, it won't be a good thing anyway, maybe they are here to declare war on the elves, after all, the two races have not had a good relationship since a long time ago.

At this moment, she was standing in place, thinking about how to avoid the dragon, when she suddenly noticed a familiar face.

“…… Ophelia? ”

Ophelia and Alice were also surprised to hear this voice, and they couldn't understand how a deer could speak.

Cosette reacted immediately and regained her human form.

"It's you, Your Highness the Princess." Ophelia suddenly realized, after all, she had never seen Cosette in this form before.

"Gee, just call me Cosette, but then again, why are you with these two dragons? Could it be that they have taken him hostage? ”

"Huh? How do you speak? Alice was not happy at once, and thought to herself that the elf was too discerning.

"Hehe, do you want to fight?" Cosette narrowed her eyes and smiled.

Alice naturally didn't back down, but luckily the white dragon ran out and stopped her.

Not to mention that they came this time to ask for help, and even if there is a fight, Alice is likely not to be the opponent of this elf princess, with the strength of the other party, it is estimated that only the dragon king can fight with it.

"Your Highness Cosette, please don't be surprised, in fact, the two of them are my friends." Ophelia also hurried to play the round.

"Huh? It seems that you have a wide range of friends. ”

Cosette smiled slightly, and she didn't know as much as Alice, after all, she and Ophelia had more important things to say.

"By the way, I also have a friend who said he went hunting and will be back soon."

"Really? But there's no prey in this kind of place. ”

Cosette was talking when she suddenly reacted, isn't the so-called prey herself? So she told Ophelia what had just happened.

Although this misunderstanding is very dangerous, if it weren't for Cosette's strength, I am afraid that she would become the first elf in history to be eaten by humans, but Ophelia couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and Alice on the side made fun of her even more unscrupulously.

"Hey, do you have any sympathy?" Cosette complained, but the other laughed even louder.

At this time, Emile finally returned, thinking that Alice should take care of her prey, only to see a strange girl being madly ridiculed.

"Uh, what's going on?"

"Haha, Emir, you're back just in time, I'll tell you a joke." Alice immediately approached him.

But he couldn't laugh at all after hearing it, he was actually taken as a prey by the elf princess just now, what an offense, and Ophelia said before that this elf princess is a very urban person, maybe if she offends her this time, she will be retaliated against very badly.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but shudder.

"You are the Emir?" Cosette no longer bothered with the gloating fellows and turned her attention to the Emir.

"yes...... That, I'm sorry for the fact just now, I watched Ophelia get frozen badly, so I wanted to catch some prey and roast it for her to eat, but I accidentally offended you, so I apologize, you can do whatever you want with me. ”

Emile was a little disheartened at this, but in order to discourage Cosette, he had to exaggerate, and with Ophelia here, she should not do too much.

"Feel free to dispose of me?" Cosette laughed, "You're very bold, if it were those people around me, I wouldn't dare to say such a thing, well, since it's a misunderstanding, I won't blame you." ”

“……”

The last thing Emir wanted to hear was spoken, and given Ophelia's assessment of her, it was impossible to just put it that way, so she must have been brewing some evil thoughts.

Surprisingly, Cosette really ignored him and went to chat with Ophelia.

"By the way, since you're back here, doesn't that mean you've succeeded? Are we elves and humans really able to connect? Cosette said expectantly.

But Ophelia's words quickly pull her back to reality.

"I have to apologize to you for that, I was so useless and didn't respond to your expectations."

“…… That's it, haha, it's okay, it's okay," Cosette laughed, and then comforted, "Actually, I don't have much to look forward to, I just want to try every possibility, that's why I let you drink the Elven Spring, since this path doesn't work, then I can change it, and I've got some results now, so don't blame yourself." ”

“…… Is it? That would be great. Ophelia smiled reassuringly.

"Hmm...... It's a little strange," Cosette said, looking at Ophelia, "why did you become so weak when you had already gained the power of the elves?" You probably haven't been seriously injured lately. ”

"To tell you the truth, although I managed to become an elf, I have been plagued by the side effects of the elven fountain ever since, and now it is very serious."

Cosette was amazed because an elven elder had told her that Ophelia had successfully transformed into an elf, and she hadn't heard of any side effects.

And as far as she knows, there are only two outcomes for humans who drink the Elven Spring, either they become monsters or they successfully transform into elves, and if you have to talk about side effects, then the former is the biggest side effect.

Cosette confessed that she had never heard such a statement, and Ophelia was surprised to tell her what Charlotte the Obsidian had said.

"So, you've failed to convert?"

"Well, that's how it should be."

"Tsk, that guy actually hid this." Cosette frowned, but then she remembered the background of the elven elven elder, who had once been from her father's faction, and had only later sided with Cosette.

Now that I think about it, his defection may have been a cover-up, and his purpose in doing so was to make Cosette pin her hopes on an unlikely human, and her desire to reconnect with humans would be frustrated, and if she could not improve the plight of the elves, she would lose the hearts of the people, and he and those behind him would be able to elect the elven king to power again.

Cosette felt both angry and ridiculous about these unreasonable fellows, if it weren't for her father's injuries that were too big to govern, how could she let her go?

However, if it was just to stumble on her, she was strong enough to be afraid of being framed, but they had to sacrifice an innocent human for it.

Isn't this the most shameful human act in the mouths of those elves? Since he has done such a thing, what right do he have to criticize human beings?

So she secretly decided that she must settle accounts with the elven elder when she returned, and it was time for her to eliminate the black sheep in the elven clan, but she had to say hello to her father first.

"Well, it's not hospitality to let you blow the cold wind here," Cosette suddenly remembered, "Come on, I'll take you into the illusion." ”

"But I just tried, and I can't get in." Ophelia reminded her.

"Really? You can't have made your request at the bottom of the pool, right? ”

"yes, what's the problem? That's how I went in last time. ”

"Haha, I'd be surprised if you didn't tell me the truth, but now it's clear that it's the elven elder who is guarding this device, and he deliberately doesn't let you in."

"Uh, I thought he was a good guy and he pulled me back from the brink of collapse after my failed transformation."

"Hmph, it's just hypocrisy, anyway, since I created this illusion, I naturally have other ways to enter."

Next, Cosette drew a rectangle out of thin air with her finger, and as a burst of white light flashed, a passage appeared inside the rectangle, and at the end of it was a warm world.

Amazed, Emile followed Ophelia inside, and Alice tried to go in, but was stopped by Cosette.

"Forget about you dragons, if other elves see it, it will cause panic."

"But ......"

"Alice, stay here honestly, Emir, they'll be out soon." The white dragon reassured.

Seeing Alice's lonely expression, Emir couldn't bear it, thinking that this guy would be afraid of loneliness.

"Yes, I'll be back as soon as possible, and you will take us back to Blackpool Town when the time comes." The emir smiled and made an agreement.

Hearing everyone around her say this, she had no choice but to nod, after all, being too willful would be disgusted.
