Unexpectedly, Addis, who was born in the old and stubborn authentic Iron Tree Castle with thick eyebrows and big eyes written on his face, actually rebelled!

David opened his mouth twice before holding back one sentence: "This is really surprising." ”

If you think about it, this is not particularly bizarre, as a hunter, the most frequent place for Ardis is the forest, and the forest to the west of the Iron Tree Fort is the territory of the elves, even if the edge of the Iron Tree Forest, and even a few small forests around, there are also elf activities.

In the eyes of the elves, these forests are their sphere of influence, and the hunters of Irontree are actually begging for a living on other people's territory.

Ardis is still a very good old hunter in the elven territory, it is impossible not to meet the elves in his decades of hunter career, and he has not been destroyed by the elves but has not been bad, so it is very reasonable for this old hunter to have some kind of connection with the elves.

According to Adis's account, it was when he was young, he accidentally met an elf hunter on the outskirts of the Iron Tree Forest, and the initial performance of the two was no different from that of ordinary humans encountering ordinary elves.

The two of them used all kinds of means, but they failed to kill each other, but were almost picked up by the demonized beast.

In the face of a greater threat, the hunters of two different races chose to join forces, and this collaboration allowed the two to form an initial friendship that would become friends for decades to come.

“……”

Listening to Adis's reminiscing expression on his face, telling about his friendship with another elf hunter, David didn't know what to say, after all, according to Attis's description, he and the elf hunter Aesop could become friends, and Attis played a big role in his dislike of human nobles in his speech.

One man and one elf is the friendship that has been deepened by scolding the nobles of Irontree Castle.

"So, you helped that Aesop save Alfie and his mother, but because of Alfie's status as a half-elf, and because you are the savior of the female elf, she trusts you so much and entrusts her children to your care?"

After listening to Adis's narration, David summarized the key points of the matter, and Adis nodded after listening, feeling that David summarized it very well, and this is indeed the case.

"You already know about Alfie, now tell us what your situation is now?"

"Me?" David was stunned, what is my situation? Then he reacted that Ardis was referring to Laura: "You mean Laura? ”

"Of course, who else can you say?"

Laura Crawford is obviously a nobleman, Ardis doesn't know how David got together with a nobleman, and Alfie's situation makes him a little suspicious, worried that his affairs will be revealed, and the nobles have already targeted him.

David couldn't explain Laura's origins, but he knew what Ardis was worried about: "Don't worry Laura, she's not a nobleman from Irontree Castle, or even a member of the Tilan Kingdom. ”

"Not from the Kingdom of Tiran?" Hearing this, most of the vigilance in Ardis's heart immediately dissipated.

There is more than one human kingdom on this continent, the Kingdom of Tiran is only the northernmost human kingdom, one of the four powerful human kingdoms, and there are many other small forces, and civilians like Ardis don't even know how many human-dominated countries there are.

So Ardis didn't even ask what country Laura was from, knowing that Laura wasn't here to trouble him.

However, David, who he raised and taught, is about to become a village chief, and he has found a noble woman, and he has adopted a half-elf, and he feels in his heart that as long as he lives long enough, he can see anything strange.

"Let's go back!"

Since Laura is not an enemy, there is no need to avoid her, and Ardis begins to seriously think about David's suggestion: take Alfie to live in Winter Village.

Although Laura is not a nobleman who wants to trouble him, he also makes Ardis realize that he may not be able to continue living in Irontree Castle, and he will definitely not be able to support him for long in his daily worry.

And, how long can Alfie's identity be hidden? It's not a reliable way to cover the ears that are obviously different from humans with strips of cloth, and one day when your identity is suddenly exposed, you don't have much time to react if you want to remedy it, so it's better to hide out early.

But there is one thing that Ardis is still worried about, the identity of the half-elf will not change much if he leaves the Iron Tree Castle, even if he leaves the Tiran Kingdom, it will not change significantly.

"Don't worry, there are not many people in Winter Village now, and there are no nobles in the village......"

Before the words came out, Attis complained: "That Laura lives in Winter Village now, right?" ”

"She's just staying temporarily."

"What about after becoming the village chief's wife? I won't be staying for a while! ”

The village chief's wife? That sounds like a weak name!

David didn't think Laura would like this kind of title, and of course maybe she didn't care about this kind of thing at all, after all, Laura's most important thing was archaeology and adventure, which was simply engraved in the depths of her soul.

Slowly walking back to the door, Ardis thought a lot along the way, and made a decision: to move with Alfie to Winter Village.

According to David, there are only a few people in Winter Village now, and all of them are civilians, even if Alfie's identity is revealed, it is not as dangerous as here in Irontree Castle.

Winter Village is also far enough away from Irontree Castle, and its location is particularly remote, if something really happens, it's a big deal to take Alfie directly into the depths of the forest.

An old hunter with a half-elf should be able to easily get rid of ordinary people in the forest.

"Before I leave, I need to say hi to that old friend." He had to say hello to Isolt and explain the situation, otherwise what would happen if he disappeared with Alfie silently?

"I'll ...... tomorrow It should take a few days to get into the city after dawn, enough time for you to say goodbye to that friend, and even for Alfie and his mother to say goodbye. ”

David originally wanted to say that his Winter Village would not engage in racial antagonism, and that Alfie's mother could move to Winter Village if she wanted to, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it - the people trusted Ardis as a lifesaver, so they entrusted the child to him. You don't trust David the same.

Even in a way, if David becomes the head of Winter Village, he will be the kind of human that the elves hate the most.

"David." Just as David was about to push open the door, Ardis suddenly called out to him, "Thank you." ”

This thank-you is not only that David is ready to help him and Adis, but also that Davy is willing to come back to him after gaining a foothold outside.

"That's saying thank you? I'm going to help you with your old age. "Hands-on nurturing and teaching life skills is something David always remembers. If you don't live well, it's difficult to survive and you can't take care of it.

Now that my life is getting better and better, and I am living a better life than many people in this world, if I don't do anything, the books in my previous life are really in vain.

Pushing open the wooden door, David walked back to his 'bed', and when he lay down, he didn't look in the direction of the bedroom, but suddenly said: "I have to go into the city after dawn, and go to bed early." ”

Ardis then walked into the room and glanced at the bedroom, and lay quietly back under the covers, where the familiar snoring soon sounded again.

In the morning, the snoring stopped, and the habits of life for many years made the old hunter wake up on time, even if he slept for a while halfway, it did not affect him in the slightest.

David also opened his eyes, in fact, he didn't sleep much, but closed his eyes and 'cultivated' the holy light all night.

His physical fitness is strong enough now, and his mental strength is also growing steadily, and this kind of cultivation can barely replace sleep (not really replace), so when he can't sleep, or is not suitable for sleep, he uses this method to make up for a night.

The sound of dressing also sounded in the direction of the bedroom, and Alfie had already dressed and walked out of his bedroom, ready to make breakfast for a few people after washing.

"Alfie, your ears are exposed."

David's casual words made Alfie, who was not very energetic, frightened, and raised his hands to cover his ears, but immediately found that the strip of cloth was firmly tied to his head, and the upper end of his ear was obediently in the strip of cloth, not exposed at all.

"......" Addis looked at David speechlessly, and he found that after more than two years of messing around, David not only did not become as calm as he thought, but became more disgusted.

"Just refresh him." After speaking, he greeted Alfie, who was full of nervousness: "Don't worry, Attis has already told me about your situation." ”

Alfie looked at Ardis and then at David, then cautiously at Laura, who had just stepped out of the other bedroom.

Although Laura wears very common clothes, Alfie is able to see in Laura the habits and traits that only noble humans can have.

Dressed neatly, her hair was meticulously arranged, and Laura, who was not the slightest messy, said good morning to everyone, and finally looked at David, who was still struggling with her hair: "Are you going to enter the city immediately?" ”

"After breakfast, we left." David didn't know how long the process would take, and thought it would be better to go early.

The staff hasn't come to work yet? He didn't worry about this, the Ardis family was some distance from the inner city, and he needed to walk for a while, and of course it was impossible to deal with this kind of thing in the outer city full of civilians, but to go to the inner city of Iron Tree Castle.

Davy also thinks about how to fool people into living in his own winter village? It is better to join the pioneer team, bring your own chickens, ducks, cattle and horses, and solve the problem of livestock and poultry by the way.

Regarding David's thoughts, Ardis commented on only one word: "I'm afraid you haven't woken up yet!" ”
