Aurelian stood in the middle of the forest, feeling the wonder and nature.

The world here is as natural and magical as a secret place.

The bright sunlight shines through the trees and sparsely falls on the green grass, and the soft and moist smell reveals the coolness after the spring rain.

A babbling river constantly crashes against the rocks, creating a crisp sound.

Standing in the middle of the forest, you can even feel the gentle breeze coming from here.

If it weren't for Aurelian's knowledge, she had come in from the outside.

It probably made her feel that this should be a mysterious forest in the wild.

"Forest Paradise?"

"Here, the original intention was to let the elves agree to cooperate with us, and the residence specially prepared for them."

Kasanna explained faintly to Aurelian:

"The researchers of the Mage City have made theoretical speculations through the magic ripples of an elven councilor."

"When elves are in a good mood, they produce a lot of natural energy."

"This energy will be a source of magic for them to grow and become stronger."

A breeze blew, and Kasanna flicked the ends of her hair and looked at the mysterious forest in front of her.

The elves didn't seem to notice anyone entering, and they had a great time here.

They play with each other, sleep when they are tired, drink a sip of dew and streams when they are thirsty, and go up to the trees to pick fruit to eat when they are hungry.

Carefree.

"So, we tried to extract the natural energy produced by the elves through 'pleasure'."

"The effect is very significant, the natural energy of the elves, can be stored and used as energy."

Aurelian was a little stunned.

Looking at her expression, the corners of Lady Kasanna's mouth rose slightly, and she smiled faintly.

"A puppet that can act on its own, a light bulb that can be activated without magic, and even an energy car that can drive itself."

"Everything you see is powered by the 'energy' produced by these elves."

"Why, at first, did you think we were imprisoning elves?"

At this time, Aurelian reacted, feeling a little embarrassed, and her face was slightly red.

Although she didn't say it at first, she did think so at first.

"What's the good of imprisoning them?"

"They have no money, they can't make a profit, and if they hurt them, they will be plagued by the spirit of nature."

"But once they are pleasant, the 'natural energy' that is not necessary for them can be used by us."

Kasanna took a deep breath, as if she was feeling the fresh air coming from the dense jungle.

The breeze kept blowing her hair, but Kasanna let them flutter, and her voice sounded faintly:

"It's a win-win situation."

Aurelian opened her mouth and asked the doubts in her heart:

"Won't they feel unfree if they stay here all the time?"

"Not free?"

Kasanna turned her head and glanced at Aurelian quizzically.

"My niece, why do you think that?"

"The contract we signed with the elves never said that we wanted them to stay here forever."

Aurelian blinked, a little unsure of what Kasanna meant.

At this moment, the door that had closed behind him opened again.

Several elves were dressed in various styles of clothes, as if they had just returned from shopping.

They carried large bags of clothes and delicacies in their hands, and entered the forest with laughter and laughter.

If Aurelian hadn't seen their long pointed ears, she would have thought that these were some of the noble ladies of someone's family.

As soon as they entered, they saw Kasanna and were stunned for a moment, then they reached out and greeted her familiarly.

"Lady Kasanna, long time no see."

"What day did Madame come back? How did not say it in advance. ”

"I'm still thinking about shopping with my wife...... How many days will Madame stay at home this time? ”

Kasanna smiled and nodded in response.

After a few small talks, the elves headed deeper into the forest, until they were completely out of sight.

This caused countless question marks to flash over Aurelian's head.

"They are absolutely free, they can enter and exit this gate at will, leave the mansion, and go to the human city outside."

"The family even gives them a geo every month that is enough for them to spend so that they can live in the city."

"Now, do you still think they're not free?"

Aurelian: "......"

She fell into complete silence.

"In the treaty of cooperation between us and the elves, there is only one restriction on the elves."

"That is, keep it as happy as possible."

Kasanna smiled faintly, as if she was feeling a little happy to be able to solve Aurelian's doubts.

"Only when they are happy can the Rayser family get a lot of energy and continue to carry out subsequent scientific research and invention."

"Elves are the foundation of the Rayser family, how can we hurt them?"

Aurelian was a little embarrassed, bowing her head and squirming a little.

"I thought you had been doing something bad......"

Suddenly, a hand was placed on top of Aurelian's head and rubbed it gently.

Kasanna said softly:

"Don't think too badly of anything, kid."

"But don't think too much of everyone else."

"You have to know that the world is black and white, it's a delicate gray."

As if feeling something, Kasanna sighed softly.

"You are the princess of the empire, everything should be for the sake of the empire."

"I hope you remember, I was also a princess."

With that, she didn't look at Aurelian's silence again.

Turning around and walking outside, he faintly called out to Aurelian:

"Let's get out."

The two walked along, but Kasanna suddenly fell into place.

She narrowed her eyes, as if she felt something.

His eyes were like a poisonous snake, looking into the darkness nearby.

"As a guest, do you have to be sneaky when you come?"

Aurelian was a little confused, but as Casanna's words fell, a drop of pitch black began to flow from the shadows.

The black shadow swelled up like a pool of water surging and grew into the form of a creature.

It was a one-eyed raven with only one eye.

It grinned with an indescribable evil spirit.

This made Kasanna suddenly stunned.

She was a little incomprehensible.

Why, here, a crow will appear?

Aurelian recognized the crow, covered her mouth, and shouted in surprise.

"Yes...... It's the teacher's crow! ”

"Teacher?"

Kasanna turned to look at Aurelian.

Aurelian's teacher, she naturally knows who it is.

It could only be that one person......

Suddenly, greenery grows, and countless vines twist around the ground.

It was like taking the shape of a wooden man.

The raven flapped its wings and stood on the wooden man's shoulder.

Suddenly, the wooden man moved.

His hands stiffened together, then opened.

It's like clapping.

Then, the vines on the wooden man's head gradually faded.

A somewhat emaciated face was revealed.

The corners of his mouth rose and he smiled at Lady Kasanna.

"That's right, Lady Kasanna."

Aurelian was amazed when she saw the comer.

"Old ...... Teacher!? ”

Even she didn't notice when Victor had come in.

Lady Kasanna looked at Victor coldly.

"Sure enough, it's you, Victor......"

"What do you mean you're here?"

"Prove to me that you have what it takes to get past the eyes of all the Rayser guards?"

Victor smiled, and the wooden body on his body gradually turned into a windbreaker and draped over his body.

"Don't get too excited, ma'am."

"That's not what I meant."

With the trench coat swinging in the wind, Victor's body seemed to be completely transformed.

He put his hands back in the pockets of his trench coat and smiled confidently:

"I just wanted to tell you that none of you can beat me."

Kasanna took a deep breath and glared at Viktor.

Aurelian stepped forward and took Lady Kasanna's hand.

"Auntie, don't ......"

"What the teacher said is true."

Kasanna looked down at her.

"So what? I'm Kasanna, the former princess of the Empire! It's the talker of the Rayser family! ”

"Am I going to watch him be so arrogant in the territory of the Lesser family?"

She turned her head back to look at Victor.

"Victor, what makes you so confident."

Victor's gaze was extremely calm, and in it, there was a little helplessness.

"There's something I told your son Jace."

"I think I can give you the same sentence."

He didn't make any extra moves, just the logo of the three broken human heads on his chest, which flashed a bright blue slightly.

"Call me Councillor, Ms. Kasanna."

Kasanna was slightly stunned, a little unsure of what Victor meant.

However, she only blinked.

But suddenly, I seemed to appear in another world.

Everything around is gone.

Aurelian, the gates, the surrounding forest, and even the ground beneath your feet.

It seems to have been replaced by a barren and shriveled earth.

Suddenly a raging fire rose and seemed to engulf the sky completely.

Kasanna jerked her head up, just because she sensed some kind of crisis.

Suddenly, she froze.

In front of her, a monster appeared.

It was a monster that humans could never contend with, like a giant beast that destroyed the world.

It dragged the volcanic body, moving slowly.

One foot at a time on the sea of fire, the body flowed with extremely hot lava.

His eyes were scarlet, as if they were surging with a thick flame of rage.

It seems that in the next second, thousands of things can be incinerate.

The surging flames and ashes filled the sky, even Kasanna, who had been baptized by countless wars, felt extremely terrifying oppression shock.

At this time, she was already sweating profusely, her body was stiff, and she could only watch the monstrous beast that destroyed the world and kept walking on this shriveled land.

Like, burn everything.

"It's ...... Natural energy? ”

Kasanna has been dealing with elves for a long time and is very sensitive to natural energy.

The monstrous furious beast that was constantly rising with flames around it.

It's like ......

A collection of natural energy.

If this kind of energy is used, it can be used by the Rayser family.

I'm afraid that it can directly support the city of Tiyebo, and the energy consumption of more than 100 years!

But at this moment, Victor's figure walked out of the flames step by step.

The flames didn't seem to have an effect on him.

"How could it be ......?"

Kasanna looked at Viktor stunned.

The moment Victor appeared, she felt it.

This vast amount of natural energy.

Exactly from Victor.

This made her incomprehensible, and it was a little difficult to accept.

And under the breath of the flames, Victor's trench coat kept swaying, gradually becoming long.

Red lines covered the entire garment, like a red flame.

He stood silently above the head of the flame beast, looking at Kasanna condescendingly, with his head bowed:

"How."

"You're not convinced?"
