"Eat slowly, kid, there's a lot more."

Aunt Susan watched dotingly as Gema stuffed the apple pie into her mouth.

Gemma must not have eaten anything good - there is no need to think about it, the druid avengers who believe in nature and live far from the town are probably usually hungry with berries and wild vegetables.

"Are you my cousin?" Martin, who was also holding an apple pie, was stunned.

"What are you calling me?" Gema, who had a ring of jam in her mouth, looked up.

"It shouldn't have been long since you became a druid avenger, right?" Annan asked.

"Hmm......" Gema didn't raise her head.

Aunt Susan asked curiously, "What is a druid?" ”

Uncle Holling chimed in: "What is an Avenger? ”

Martin looked up: "What's not long?" ”

"Hmm...... A druid is an existence that protects the forest, and a druid avenger is an existence that protects the forest with his strength. ”

"Oh~" Aunt Susan seemed to understand, "just like a knight?" Little Chestnut is still a knight. ”

Gema buried her head even lower, and only the sound of eating sounded.

Annan grabbed a loaf of bread and began to enjoy the dinner.

"I'm done." Gema jumped down from her chair and stood on tiptoe to salute Aunt Susan, "Thank you for the food." It reminds me of the hiccups in the Clan—"

Gema hiccuped, covered her mouth and ran out.

"I know she's not our cousin, and I know what's not long......" Martin proudly picked up the last apple pie, "I'm just lying to her so I can eat more than she does." ”

That's Martin's wisdom.

"I'll go back first."

Annan got up to say goodbye to Aunt Susan and Uncle Hollin, and went out into the street.

"She ran off to the coastal streets." The knight outside the door said respectfully.

When Annan arrived at the beach, Gema was lying on the fence, looking out at the waves crashing on the beach.

"My people were killed by humans, and villages were burned down." Gema lowered her head and whispered, "They came, and asked me if I wanted revenge, and I said I wanted to ......"

"With all due respect, I don't think it's a human thing."

Gema looked up and glared, "Bastard! Villain! Knave! You're human, of course you would say that! ”

Annan looked at her calmly: "You don't know about human beings...... A living halfling is valuable. ”

"I don't understand!"

"Do you think humans would choose to kill an elf or enslave an elf?"

Gema was stunned, revealing a sense of resentment and shame.

Annan continued to look at her: "I'll help you investigate the truth, you and I are friends, okay?" ”

The eyes covered by broken hair seemed to dissipate something, and Gema lowered her head and let out a muffled "um" sound.

Looking at the fluffy chestnut head, Annan couldn't help but stretch out his hand-

"Why don't you pet the cat?"

Out of nowhere, Lily jumped up to the fence and looked up at the palm of her head, and Annan had to touch Lily's head.

"Meow~"

The silly cat peeked out from the side and meowed in pleasure. The moonlight sprinkled on it seemed to put a veil over it.

"Do you have a way to keep me and your companions out of conflict?"

Gema shook her head hesitantly: "I...... The Avengers hate those who harm the forest, and they say you are a vicious burner......"

Plus those skeleton rat people, that's why Gema rushed in in a daze.

Even Gemma, the druid's avenger prejudice will only become more entrenched, and perhaps even Gema who acts as a lobbyist.

"Do you know a druid who is a tree man and a druid named Dade?" Annan asked her.

"Tree Man...... I seem to have an impression......" Annan patiently reminded Gemma, "I remember that there was a group of druids in the Third Monster Mountain Range, and their leader was the Treants!" ”

"I've got a way, can you go back to your companion and help me stall for time?"

"I'll try ......"

Annan patted Gemma's chestnut head, and Lily, who was sitting on the fence, patted her too.

"If you are in danger, say that I coerced you."

“…… You don't have to worry about it! ”

Gema transforms into a raven and melts into the dark night.

Annan picked up Lily, who was licking her paws, and after looking around, she didn't see the silly cat, so she sent Lily back to the City Lord's Mansion first, and then came to the crystal lair.

Elimayas slept soundly on her gold coin blanket, and Annan's arrival only made her deep snoring disappear.

Without disturbing Elimoas' restful sleep, Annan went to visit the guests in the "guest room": three young dragons snuggled up to each other, shabby and shrunk on the ground.

The most vigilant Glasti raised her head, then woke up the other two blue dragons, and suddenly complained to Annan that Elimoas was a domineering sister who had robbed her younger siblings of their money......

Glasti and Kritalia are no strangers to Annan, having secretly watched their sister tryst with the man several times and turned into human.

"She's just...... Just ......"

Unable to find a suitable reason, Annan gave up and quietly stuffed the young dragons with ten gold coins each.

"Hide it and don't let your sister find out."

The relationship between Annan and the three-headed young dragon was instantly shortened by thirty gold coins, and Kritalia rubbed Annan with her head affectionately.

Annan patted Kritalia on the head: "I'm going back, if Elimoas finds out, maybe he will guess that I gave you money......"

"We don't know anything, we picked up the money!" Kritalia assured, and said goodbye to Annan obediently.

Umirs looked at the human's back, remembered that he had threatened him during the day, and suddenly gave himself wings.

……

In the City Lord's Mansion, Annan opened the portal in the living room and told Olmedo what had happened in the past few days.

"I need your help."

"I also have two teams of knights and a team of mages, I can send them all."

"What about Typhoon Shelter?"

"And the white dragons."

"They're stupid, maybe they'll help outsiders attack town." Annan couldn't believe the white dragon, and also rejected Olmedo's kindness, "Actually, I very much expect the Mad Dog Grand Duke to take all his men to fight Liberty City now." ”

Trouble is coming, and Mr. Schwaro and Dean Brehim will fix it.

"I need you to send some people to the Third Monster Mountain Range to find the Treant Druids, they should be able to resolve the conflict between me and the Druid Avengers."

"The Third Warcraft Mountain Range is too big......"

"I know that too......" Annan suddenly thought of something, "you bring the white dragon!" The Treant Druids knew about the White Dragon, and might have guessed that it was us. ”

The portal closed, and Annan glanced at the clock, and there were still ten minutes before the new day.

He held the orichalcum in his hand, ready to begin the day with the goodwill of the elements.

The Warlock's Codex, the book that guides Annan on his way, could no longer be of any help. From now on, Annan embarked on a path that the warlocks had not trodden.
