"Hahaha! I'm finally back! ”

Cocott sat a cloud proudly through a large green doorway and floated out.

She sat on the clouds, her head up, her mouth open, and she breathed the air, acting very arrogantly.

Leon followed, walking out after Cocott.

The green teleportation channel vanished, and Leon looked around with a strange feeling.

Turning her head, she looked back at Corcot and asked.

"You...... Misaligned? ”

"Huh?"

Coot reacted at this point, watching as the weeds around him barely reached Leon's knees.

The flowers are also extremely tall and full of life.

A large, extremely thick bronze tree stood in the middle of the grass, behind Kocot.

She turned around and looked at the giant tree, her face full of confusion and sluggishness.

“？？？”

Didn't they come back from the Elven Forest?

How can there be such a broken tree in this place?

Leon looked the Divine Tree up and down, turned around, and saw the Clevenna Mansion in the distance.

It was still familiar.

"No problem."

"We're back in the right place."

Leon put on her hood and pulled up her mask to cover her face, revealing only a pair of green eyes that looked like jewels.

"Well, I'll miss first."

After returning from the Elven Forest, she had a lot to say to Leah.

Leon leapt forward, nimbly rushing towards the mansion.

Coot looked at her back and opened his mouth, but before he could hold back, Leon was already gone.

"Hey, why are the young elves so impatient now?"

The reason why Leon was also left in the Elven Forest was to see if he could solve Leon's problem of not being able to attract natural energy.

But it didn't work.

No matter how Leon touched the Sacred Tree, even if she poured a few mouthfuls of the Moon Sacred Spring, she could not generate natural energy in her body.

As an elf, she seemed to be repelled by the energy of nature.

It's no wonder that the original Yade Divine Tree didn't recognize her.

Despite this, Kokot is still trying to think of a way.

As she sat on the clouds and thought, a familiar voice came from behind her:

"Looks like you're in a good mood."

Kocott looked back and saw Victor standing behind him, staring at him.

The eyes are extremely deep, as if they see through everything about her.

Coot was not surprised, but sat cross-legged on the clouds, put his hands on the back of his head, and grinned:

"Oh, luckily, I just accidentally overtook a large crowd...... Hey, wait, what are you doing, don't, don't touch it......"

Suddenly, Victor reached out a hand and grabbed Cocott's arm.

At the moment of physical contact, Victor looked closely at the top of her head.

Lv50——

Fifth-Order Mage.

Victor was not surprised.

For Kocot, becoming a fifth-order mage was no accident.

She was originally one of the top fourth-order mages, and she had already stepped into the ranks of the fifth-order with one foot.

It's just that if you want to enter the fifth order, you need an opportunity.

After the death of the Yard Sacred Tree, a huge amount of natural energy poured out, and it was like a gift to Kokot.

And this part is the opportunity of Cocote.

Originally, it was a kick in the door, but under the impact of this energy, it broke through that layer of membrane, which is very normal.

After seeing Cocott's rank clearly, Victor let go of her hand and continued;

"Congratulations."

Hearing this, Kokot immediately understood.

Victor must have seen her strength by some means.

She wasn't surprised by that.

What's more, Kocott originally planned to tell Victor about this, but he didn't expect Victor to see it first.

Thinking about it like this, Corcot seemed to be even more proud.

"Hmph, you have to respect me in the future, I'm your family...... No, I'm the only fifth-order mage in the entire empire right now! ”

The truth is exactly the same as she said, except for the fact that the capital of mages attaches great importance to the training of mages, most countries are not very interested in mages.

Because, if you want to cultivate a powerful high-level mage, the money you need to spend is too much.

And this mage won't necessarily listen to you.

The more powerful the mage, the more extensive his knowledge becomes.

Such people are difficult to control.

Even the entire Calencian Empire, on the surface, there are at most a dozen fourth-order mages.

After all, with so much money, it is better to train the same warriors or knights.

It can also be cultivated to a high level, and it is also obedient.

Especially the knights.

Obeying the chivalrous way, they will hardly refuse the orders of the leader.

Of course, even in the capital of mages, at this stage, Kocot has become the highest fifth-order mage of Endymion's rank.

As for why not the strongest?

Sorry man, there's such an unconscionable thing as Victor standing in the way.

Cocott is still self-aware.

Victor is already so powerful that he can't be considered a normal mage.

At this time, Victor put his hands in his pockets, looked at her, and nodded as if in agreement.

"You are the only queen of the elf clan, and if you don't have the corresponding strength to support you, it will be difficult to convince the public."

When the elven clan plans to expand outward, it means that the elven forest is no longer a pure spiritual territory.

but a whole country.

A country that is recognized by others must have a supreme combat power to shelter it.

Although the elves did have natural protection, others did not dare to rashly make trouble.

But if the population is weak, it will attract ridicule and laughter.

It will make people feel that they are just a group of weak elves sheltered by nature.

After all, swearing will not be sanctioned by the spirit of nature.

Therefore, the fifth-order Kokot is the most suitable.

Floating above the clouds, Kokot spoke a little helplessly, and said to Victor:

"That's right."

"Venia wants to establish diplomatic relations with the Empire, and intends to start with trade first."

It is true that the elves have been beautiful alone in the Elven Forest for thousands of years, but they have a lot of good things.

It's like a fruit wine made from the feet of an elven girl.

There is also the dew that absorbs the rich natural energy in the Elven Forest, and can even be used as a blessing agent for casting materials, greatly improving the quality of weapons and armor.

As well as some naturally occurring spirit fruits, after eating, they can prolong the life of humans.

All of these things can be used for export trade.

"But you know, this is the first time we've established diplomatic relations in the name of a country."

Kocot spread his hands, closed his eyes, and sighed.

The elves were exporting trade for the first time, and naturally there were many immature places.

Someone needs to lead them and let them learn.

Victor, who has a good relationship with the queen of the elves, is their best choice.

"So, your employees are in trouble, and you can't help them?"

As he spoke, Kocot opened one eye and stole a look at Victor.

I saw him with his hands in his pockets, as if he had been prepared, and slowly spoke:

"Twenty percent."

"Goose?"

Kocot froze in place, dazed.

She didn't seem to understand what Victor was up to.

Then, Viktor's voice continued to sound:

"I can be responsible for helping you open up the market and ensure that you make a lot of money."

"But the premise is that I will take 20% of the proceeds."

Kocote was confused, she didn't understand any of this, but her head was still thinking.

Twenty percent, is it a lot?

It doesn't sound like a lot.

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and then she simply threw herself back, and stopped thinking.

Forget it, Victor is the boss anyway, and it's no problem for him to make the decision.

After Coot's brainstorming, he nodded.

"Good! I promise you! ”

Victor's face was expressionless.

Thanks to Kokot, he is the mascot of the elven clan, plus the strength of the leader.

Otherwise, if she is in power, she can be fooled to the point of selling the entire clan and counting the money of others.

Victor held up another finger.

"Second, remember what I said earlier."

Kokot was stunned for a moment, and listened to Victor remind:

"Don't forget, the elves I need."

"Oh, this one."

It dawned on Corcote that she hadn't forgotten the incident.

The reason why Victor wanted to run to the Elven Forest himself.

At the end of the day, I just wanted some elves to be sent to the Clavenna Mansion to work.

When it is said to be work, it is actually pleasure.

Because they only need the natural energy that the elves produce through happiness.

“……”

Wait a minute!

Cocote reacted,

In the beginning, Victor just wanted some elves to provide natural energy, yes......

But how did things come to the burning of the Yard Sacred Tree?

Just to catch a few elves as employees, and easily liberate the minds of the entire elf clan?

This......

While Kocot was still confused, Victor put his hands in his pockets and looked at the sacred tree that stood there.

The tender green branches swayed in the sunlight and were illuminated with a little transparency.

The thick trunk of the tree is wrapped in tiny vines, and the green moss quietly absorbs the moist and refreshing air at the roots of the trunk.

The giant sacred tree towered into the clouds and rushed into the blue sky.

Specks of silver stardust were shaken off by the branches, falling towards the ground.

Victor looked at the sacred tree and said lightly:

"The elf's dwelling, I've got it ready."

"The tree?"

Cocott's gaze was also drawn to the past, looking at the giant tree in front of him, becoming more and more familiar.

It seems to be similar to the sacred tree in the Elven Forest, but it is much smaller.

Moreover, the natural energy in the sacred tree was so rich that it made her feel very comfortable.

This is indeed a suitable place for elves to live.

Even when Cocott was looking at the sacred tree, he almost couldn't help but burrow into the sacred tree and sleep beautifully.

She suppressed the urge to sleep and asked:

"How did you do that?"

Victor didn't look at her, as if there was only this towering sacred tree in his eyes.

At this time, his voice suddenly sounded:

"Don't you feel familiar?"

Coot shook his head in confusion.

Victor smiled faintly, and under Kocot's gaze, he gently called out the name of the sacred tree.

"Yard."

As if sensing something, the sacred tree slowly drooped down with its branches carrying silver stardust, as if bowing slightly to Victor.

The huge body completely blocked out the sun, and a large shadow covered the earth.

Kokot looked at the sacred tree that bowed slightly, and opened his mouth:

"Huh?"
