In the fourteenth year of the new calendar, the elven village of Landuo.

Early in the morning, Stella picks some fresh cranberries from the vegetable garden behind the wooden house.

These berries are forest cranberries researched by the elves, and because they grow on grass, they can also be called strawberries.

Stella carried the basket into the house, put the strawberries on the table, and then sat down and spent more than ten minutes cleaning the strawberries and arranging them neatly on the plate.

After doing this, Stella was satisfied with one hand lying on the table, and with the other hand, she gently chose a beautiful strawberry and put it in her mouth to taste.

This plate of strawberries is Stella's breakfast and lunch today, and breakfast should be more pleasing to the eye than dinner.

For most elves, time is a vague concept that doesn't need to be too clear.

Because there are not enough supplies and there are no thriving cities, there is a lack of festivals to celebrate.

Most of the time I was busy with my own things in the forest cabin, and the time passed before I knew it.

Stella always thinks back to the time when she left the forest and went to the town outside, and these memories seem like a long time has passed, and it seems like it was not so long ago.

"The queen's worries are unnecessary, I will not be reluctant to give up on the outside world just because I have been to the outside world, or even betray the village like those elves who do not know shame."

Stella sees this as the Queen's test of herself, and is convinced that she will not be attracted to temptations from the outside.

Either way, the elves and the queen are the future of this forest.

The food problem has been solved, Stella has seen the changes around her in recent years, and the strong man of the elf race has only taken a little time to come up with a solution and cultivate high-yield crops that can solve the food problem.

Especially during these months, the nearby elves are also full of laughter, and occasionally the aroma of lamb and wolf meat can be smelled from a distance.

Everything is moving in a good direction.

"Stella!"

Stella heard the call from outside and quickly got up and walked out.

"I'm here, what's the matter?"

Outside the door are two male elves whom Stella knows, both of whom are members of the patrol.

"Stella, I heard Adena say that you've been eating strawberries and acorn noodles all the time, and we're going out hunting to get some meat today, are you with us? Can give you a little meat. ”

"Good!" Stella happily agreed, and soon had doubts, "Where to go?" The mountains to the east are all difficult muddy roads at this time, can you find prey at this time? ”

The two male elves saw that Stella agreed to the banquet invitation so happily, and they both smiled and let down their guard.

"It's not the east mountain, it's the forest in the west, and there are a lot of prey in the west and north, and you will know when you go."

Stella frowned, quickly showed her professional qualities, and asked directly, "What else do I need to bring besides bows and arrows and daggers?" ”

The two male elves were even happier, "No, we're all ready!" Let's go now, and we'll be there in the evening! ”

"Good!" Stella quickly went inside and picked up her bow and arrows, as well as a dagger and boots for running and fighting, as well as a jungle cloak to protect herself and hide her aura most of the time.

The three elves quickly went to the border patrol to assemble, and when they arrived, Stella found that there were already more than a dozen elves gathered here.

These elves are male and female, and in addition to the elves, there are several half-elves and humans, but they are all residents of the elven village, and there are no outsiders.

Although she was a little confused at first, after seeing that every elf and human was carrying a weapon, Stella sensed that everyone was not joking, nor was she going to do something unrewarding.

The leader of the team is a male elf, and usually this captain and management position should be held by a woman, but it is not surprising that it is a male one.

Elves are not patriarchal, and no elf would think that the other person is unfit to be the captain just because he is a man, which is a ridiculous reason.

The captain also noticed Stella's joining, and just nodded and greeted him calmly and kindly, without too many polite greetings on both sides.

This kind of polite greeting is already polite in the interaction of the elves.

Led by the captain, the elves began to walk quietly out of the forest.

Stella moved quietly through the group, noticing that none of the elves around her were carrying cages or cloth bags that could hold their prey.

Stella was silent about this, relying on her intuition, the captain was not an inexperienced hunter, he had a dangerous and ferocious temperament, and his strength and experience were not lacking.

Since he felt that there was no problem, then there must be a solution.

From the afternoon to the evening, as the moonlight appeared and the sky began to darken, Stella quickly realized the fact that her body was cold.

When you leave the forest and stand on the top of a nearby hill and look into the distance, you can see a large field of flowers and farmland.

Farther away, white smoke is busy preparing dinner, and nearby goats are slowly eating grass on the grass that have not yet returned.

Stella quickly noticed that the elves around her were preparing their weapons, and one after another, she took off the cloak that avoided the branches and thorns, revealing her strong muscles, or her slender and sexy body.

A female elf easily tied her hair with a rope, and reminded the female elf next to her kindly.

"Stella, it's your first time here, don't worry, the people here are not the barbarians of the Barbarian Kingdom, they are all some untouchables who have occupied our land after being driven out and rejected by the Barbarian Kingdom."

Stella didn't ask, but she got an answer.

After a second of silence, Stella said with a complicated look, "Does the queen know?" ”

The female elf shrugged her shoulders, showed a helpless look, and said casually: "You are not the first person to ask this, this is the captain and a few of them did it first, the garbage in the north has been cleaned up, and now there are more and more people who are willing to come over to clean up the garbage, don't you want to eat meat?" ”

A male elf next to him sneered: "Green knows about this, how could the queen not know?" But Grimm didn't stop us from finding something to eat ourselves, except that he wouldn't let us go to the barbarians' territory! ”

Stella already understands why the leader is a male elf.

The problems of the elven village have not been solved, but because of war and unrest, some male elves and male wizards have been liberated from the violent side.

Although the queen is in charge of everything here in the Elven Forest, in fact, male wizards are naturally stronger than witches, and the strength of male elves is generally several times to dozens of times stronger than that of female elves!

These witches are extremely destructive!

Stella soon gained a more intuitive understanding of the destructive power of wizards.

Under the leadership of the captain, more than a dozen elves quickly cleaned up the village of two or three hundred people, and did not let go of any one, regardless of men, women, old and young, as long as all the humans here were killed.

After a river of blood, a female elf who was excited to kill quickly unleashed flames into a room.

The flames, which were more than two meters high, stayed in the air for a second before moving directly towards the thatched hut.

At this time, the captain appeared in front of the flames and scattered the wall of fire with his hand.

"Burn the corpses, don't destroy the houses, and don't kill the sheep and dogs." Ignoring the witch who acted without permission, the captain of the witch turned directly to the red-eyed male and female elves, "You can relax. ”

The captain's body quickly jumped onto the thatched hut, and began to taste a pot of wine and a piece of bacon in his hand.

The nearby elves quickly let out cheers, and then relaxed in the moonlight and the village full of corpses and blood.

Stella didn't participate, but jumped onto the hut where the captain was.

The captain looked at the approaching elf with a cold expression, "I'm not interested in you, don't come near me." ”

Stella didn't move the whole time, and watched these elves around like savages, and like devils in the dark night, killing people with impunity.

Especially this captain, he didn't need to kill people at all, and the fleeing villagers fell one by one under his gaze, unable to move again.

"Why are they forbidden to burn down their houses and leave a few livestock?" Stella asked an unrelated question.

The captain continued to eat the cured meat, looking at the peaceful fields in the distance, "With these houses, there will be people living in the future, and they will continue to take care of the wheat and medicinal herbs that are about to be harvested, and then go to the barbarian cities to exchange money and wine for livestock, and then continue to stock up on food." ”

"The people here have nothing to do with the barbarians, you don't have to worry about the retaliation of those madmen."

Stella stood here blowing the cold wind and asked, "Why are you doing this?" ”

The wizard raised his hand and ate half of the meat, as well as the flask in his hand, "For this." ”

The wizard's intelligence is not low, his actions and thoughts are in line with his own logic, although it does not match Stella's intentions, but he does not care.

"You think I'm wrong?" The wizard looked at Stella.

The moonlight was cold, and the wizard's eyes were as deep as gems.

The atmosphere was dangerous, a little dead and silent, but there was a group of male and female elves relaxing in the nearby meadow.

Life and death, here are numb impressions.

Stella was not afraid of the witch, and she did not hide it, she clenched her fists, and said in a mournful and painful voice: "No, this is the queen's problem, it is the queen who has done wrong. ”

"No matter what the queen thinks or says, it's the queen's fault that she didn't let everyone eat enough and live a good life!!"

The wizard looked very surprised, and after thinking for a short moment, he stopped thinking about the matter, and continued to eat meat and drink wine in this filthy land.

Stella quickly left the place, and the wizard didn't stop her, nor did he take the female elf to heart.

Even if it was the queen's thoughts, the wizard didn't care, he just wanted to eat meat and drink wine, and he wouldn't take the queen's thoughts as his responsibility. (End of chapter)
