A few minutes later, Emile and Ophelia were taken to what looked like a noble manor.

Cosette herself brought them tea and fruit, and told them not to be polite, but to treat it as if it were their own, and after a while she ordered the servants to prepare lunch, and to ask for a hearty meal.

Her Royal Highness the princess, who treated her own deduction and search, was still quite generous to the guests, and at this time she no longer cared about the dilemma of shortage of materials.

The two of them were stunned for a long time, and they always felt a strong sense of disobedience, as if the person in front of them who happily ran back and forth to entertain them was not an elf princess, but a hospitable maid.

But the emir did not dare to relax, after all, they were courteous and courteous, they were either treacherous or thieves, they were obviously here to ask for help, but they didn't expect that they didn't say anything, and the other party was so enthusiastic that it was excessive, and there must be an ulterior secret in it.

"Well, then, Your Highness Cosette, you don't have to bother with it." Ophelia said with an embarrassed smile.

"I didn't bother, this is just the most ordinary hospitality of our elves." Cosette said as she filled their cups with tea.

The emir did have a good impression of her, after all, no matter how much she had a city, as a noble elf princess, it should be difficult to grovel to people to this extent, so her hospitality was at least partly sincere.

However, some of the servants saw Cosette's behavior and felt that she was wronging herself, but they knew Cosette too well as a person, so they didn't dare to say anything.

Then, while waiting for her meal, Cosette got down to business.

"By the way, Ophelia, since you're here, you probably want me to help you solve the problem of side effects."

"Well," Ophelia nodded, then added, "I don't know if I can do it, and I won't blame you if I can't help it, after all, it was my own choice in the first place." ”

"Don't worry, I naturally have a way, and I'll be responsible for it anyway, because I know now that the problem is with our elves, and you're just caught up in our intrigues."

"So what the hell is to do?" The emir asked curiously.

"Don't rush yet, I'll tell you later, let's talk about it after lunch."

So, the two had to put away the mentality of getting to the bottom of the matter and sit honestly.

After a while, the servants brought a variety of dishes, and the emir wanted to see how the elven dishes differed from those of the humans.

As a result, after the lid was lifted, he suddenly couldn't hide his frustration, because these dishes are what humans usually eat, and they are even worse, and they are all vegetarian dishes, and there is no meat at all.

Shocked by this scene, he involuntarily glanced at Cosette's chest and immediately understood something.

"Well, it seems that the standard of living of the elves is no more than that."

His illusions were shattered, but he was a guest and he was too embarrassed to complain.

And he thought about it carefully, although crops could be grown in this fantasy world, after all, the land was limited, and the nutrition was definitely not as good as the real soil, so it would be good for them to be able to use these to entertain guests.

After eating, Cosette also solemnly said that the hospitality was not good, which made the Emir even more embarrassed, and he secretly decided that when Cosette eliminated Ophelia's side effects, he must help these elves improve their living environment.

However, this is precisely what Cosette is all about, she has long expected that these two humans will develop sympathy for the elves, and she will help them at every turn, and they will naturally feel that they can't say anything if they don't give something in return.

Although Ophelia's reward didn't mean much to her at this time, it wasn't a bad thing to have another way, and maybe her original idea could really come true.

After some time, Cosette led the two to the edge of a pool in the middle of the forest.

The pool is filled with elven springs, and the surface is misty and mysterious.

"Alright, Emir, jump in." Cosette then said.

"Uh, is it me?" Emir wondered how Ophelia was the one who wanted to eliminate the side effects, so how could he let him soak in the Elven Spring.

But the other party said so, so he had to do it, and to his surprise, the spring water turned out to be warm.

That's when Cosette explained slowly.

"Because that's what Ophelia did last time, it's useless to do it again, alas, if I had known that I had been there in person, I wouldn't have to be so troublesome now."

"Is it possible that you will be able to succeed if you are there in person?" The emir will be skeptical.

"Hmph, of course."

"No, doesn't it mean that for humans, the chance of successful transformation is very low?" Ophelia asked.

"It's true under normal circumstances, but don't forget who I am, and the success rate can be 100 percent under my protection." Cosette puffed out her chest proudly.

"I see, then I'm relieved."

"And what's next?" The emir asked.

"Next, you can just take a sip of the Elven Spring in your hand, pay attention to only one sip, if you drink too much, there will be big problems."

"......" the emir fell into hesitation.

Because Cosette's intention was obviously to let him also drink the Elven Fountain and become an elf, which was not expected by him.

In fact, this is the only way, as long as the emir succeeds in turning into an elf, he will produce a special elven blood that even pure-blooded elves do not have, and then feed Ophelia to drink it to completely eliminate the side effects.

"What's wrong? Oh, rest assured, the Elven Fountain is very clean, and I definitely didn't use it for anything strange. Cosette thought he was worried about the dirty water, but her explanation was unconvincing.

Ophelia also understood Cosette's thoughts, so she decided to stop Cosette's further actions, because this kind of thing must first seek the consent of the Emile, and Cosette may have misunderstood her relationship with the Emile, so she did not say hello in advance.

However, just as she was about to speak out to stop her, Emir told her with his actions that he had no opinion.

As a result, as the Fountain of the Elves melted into his body, the Emir's appearance changed, first his short black hair turned white, then his ears became sharper and longer, and his pupils changed from brown to dark red.

Looking at Emir's changes, Ophelia was in a complicated mood, she didn't expect that this teenager would be willing to do this for her, and guilt and gratitude for Emir filled her heart.

Although the transformation process went smoothly and the Emir was very conscious, Cosette noticed that something was wrong, as the Emir actually had horns on the top of his head.

In fact, the current elves don't grow horns at all, unless they have a natural atavistic phenomenon, pure-blooded elves are like this, and it is even more impossible for human beings to transform into elves, but what appeared in front of her at this time was an exception.

Just as she was feeling incredulous, an accident happened, and she saw that the horns of the emir grew longer and longer, and finally even spread out to the surroundings, producing countless thorn-like substances, enveloping the entire pool, and the elven spring in the pool began to boil.

"W-what's going on?" Ophelia panicked.

“……”

Cosette was tempted to say that she didn't know anything about it, but she couldn't, because she was the one who had just packed the ticket and said she would make it.

After a while, the emir exuded high temperature, and evaporated all the elven springs, and the spring water was about to bottom, and if the problem was not solved as soon as possible, the emir would definitely be scalded to death.

At the moment of crisis, a pitch-black figure rushed from the depths of the forest.

With a flash of cold light in his hand, the thorn-like substance that emerged from Emir's head was disintegrated, and then he used his magic to summon a large amount of water, completely submerging Emir's body, which prevented tragedy.

It wasn't until everything was calm that Ophelia hurried over to get the emir out, only to find him faint.

At this time, Cosette finally saw the true face of the other party, it was a tall, handsome male elf, and it was also the elven elder who she wanted to ask for guilt later, Jerez.

The power of the entire elven clan is controlled by the Council of Elders and the royal family, but the power of the Council of Elders is so small that it is more like a fictitious position, and Jerez is one of the six members of the Council of Elders.

"Why?" Cosette couldn't help but ask, although she no longer had a good impression of this person, she still didn't understand the reason why the other party helped her out.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I hope that when you decide to make a human an elf, you will understand the background of the other party in advance, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that this kind of thing will not happen again next time."

Jerez ignored the princess's inquiries and lectured her directly.

He was the only one in the entire elven clan who dared to speak to Cosette like this, and it happened to be something that made her quite fond of him, so she had never doubted his loyalty before.

"Hmph, it's all this time, do you want to teach me a lesson? I know all about what you've done. ”

"Huh? But isn't that all for your good? Jerez didn't care, and then said, "Humans are not trustworthy, don't forget what happened hundreds of years ago, when the elven king also supported cooperation with humans, but the result was that humans took advantage of our trust and stole part of our elven clan's forging technology, and it is the core technology, so it is better to rely on people than on your own, not to mention, isn't the magic potion you are studying now very effective?" ”

"It's really crooked, that's all about Chen Sesame and rotten grain, people can't be generalized, when will you be able to let go of your prejudice against human beings?" Cosette said unconvinced.

"No, no, this is not prejudice," Jerez hurriedly denied, "I just want to say that it is necessary to guard against people, since you already know the truth, then I will make it clear, it is impossible to reconnect with humans, and other elves will not agree, your idea is destined to go against the will of the people." ”

"Okay, let's see."

"Hmph." Jerez snorted coldly and walked away.

After a while, Ophelia saw that Cosette's mood had recovered and walked over to ask.

"His Highness Cosette, what does he mean when he just said that he wants to know the background of the other party?"

"This, it's really my negligence, after all, I didn't expect such a coincidence, this boy actually has the blood of the Stuart family."

"Uh, what's the problem?"

"That's a big problem, it's a cursed bloodline among the elves." Cosette had an indescribable expression.

Now Ophelia was even more curious, and hurriedly motioned for her to continue talking.
