Leaf helped the other two High Elf Patrollers to loosen the ropes. They stretched their hands and thanked Leaf.
"We have to get out of here as soon as possible."
Aurelia propped herself up with both hands. She took the opportunity to look inside the room. It wasn't a gloomy dungeon. There were some wooden boxes and bottles piled up around it. It looked like a warehouse for storing goods.
"Let's eat something before we leave."
Leaf took out a package wrapped in oiled paper. When she opened the package, the three High Elves were instantly attracted by the contents of the package.
"Human food again?"
Aurelian's brows furrowed. The scent in the air made her hunger even clearer.
"I heard from the humans that this is called a bun. The surface is made of a plant powder called wheat."
Leaf looked at the two High Elves behind Aurelia, and they almost blurted out the word 'hungry'.
"Elder Sister Aurelian … I really don't have any strength left."
The High Elf named Wennern said disappointingly.
"Hurry up. We don't have much time left."
Aurelian turned around and no longer looked at the two High Elves. Aurelian's words were equivalent to giving them permission to touch the human food.
However, the two High Elves looked at Aurelian's determined expression and silently put down the food in their hands.
"Aren't you eating?" Leaf asked.
"Let's go to Elder Sister Aurelian's orchard for lunch after we escape," Wennern said with a forced smile. "Leaf, you can come with us."
Leaf looked at the expectant smile on her fellow High Elf's face and felt even more guilty. She really couldn't tell them that she was actually a traitor.
No … She was here to serve the holy tree and guide her fellow High Elves onto the right path.
The fact that the two High Elves refused the human food seemed to have encouraged Aurelia.
"I'll treat you well when we get back. So, hurry up and leave this place."
Aurelian immediately opened the door and went to the corridor. She had to bring her companions back to Assequero safely and inform the elders of the human invasion.
As soon as she came to the corridor, Aurelian, who was prepared to face the gloomy dungeon, saw a window.
Window? Aurelia walked in front of the window, and the ruined Forgotten Land was clearly visible to Aurelia.
Although she had no magic power left in her body, she could still break the window and escape.
Was it because the humans were too careless?
"Sister Aurelia, can I open this window?"
Wen Nuen, who saw hope, instantly entered a state of excitement.
"It's locked."
Aurelia grabbed the handle of the window and shook it. As expected, the window was completely sealed.
"Try this." Leaf handed Aurelia a dagger.
Aurelia scratched the glass with her dagger. The moment the blade touched the surface of the glass, ice blue magic runes appeared on it. The next second, the tip of her dagger turned into ice.
Magic barrier?
"Run!"
Aurelia subconsciously made this decision. Her action had undoubtedly disturbed the person who had set up the barrier — the Frost Elf.
The Frost Elf could easily restrain Aurelia's movements.
Aurelia had finally regained her freedom. If she was discovered again, there probably wouldn't be a second Leaf to save her!
The elven fugitive team instantly ran in the castle-like building … While Leaf was following Aurelia, she looked up at the ceiling and saw a white cat sitting in the shadow of the chandelier.
The white cat had been watching them from beginning to end. Perhaps Aurelia didn't realize that the owner of the tavern had been watching their escape.
… …
"Didn't they eat out of pity? These High Elves still have some backbone. "
Josiah sat in the tavern hall on the first floor, watching the images on the magic net. These images came from the white cat's "broadcast".
The scene of the four beautiful girls treading through the eerie castle with their hearts in their mouths was so horrifying that Josh felt like he could make a movie out of it.
"Eat out of pity?" Hiri was also a spectator of this escape show, but she was more concerned about what Josiah said just now that she couldn't understand.
"It's charity with humiliation."
Josiah gave a more understandable explanation.
"Charity? According to the setting, isn't it food that Leaf stole from the enemy? " Hiri hugged the back of the chair and looked at the three High Elves. "If this counts as backbone, I'd rather vent my anger."
"Miss Hiri, you mean …"
"We'll empty the enemy's food warehouse and eat it. When we're full, we'll burn this place down." Hiri revealed her plan.
"Alright."
Josiah was a little glad that there wasn't a girl like Hiri among the High Elves.
"Josiah, you want to record this and send it to the TV station?" Hiri rested her chin on her hand. She still didn't understand why Josiah wanted to keep these three High Elves in captivity.
They were now like hamsters, scurrying around the maze that Josiah had arranged. These hamsters were in the stage of hunger strike in a fit of pique.
"Not for now. The entire tavern has been set up with a defensive magic circle by Ice Dragon. It's like a huge cage for these High Elves. I'll lock them up until they 'adapt' to life in the tavern, then I'll let them go," said Josiah.
Hiri watched the scene on the Magic Web. When the High Elves walked into a dimly lit and empty room, Hiri instantly understood what Josiah meant by 'adapt.'
"Do we need to go out and catch a few more?" If Hiri remembered correctly, Josiah's ultimate goal was to change the High Elves' view of humans.
"There's no need. They'll come to us on their own. We'll just have to sort them according to their personalities."
Josiah looked at the High Elf wearing round-rimmed glasses who was still sitting in the tavern. Under Ahr's guidance, she didn't show any fear or hatred towards Josiah. Instead, she chose to take the initiative to play Hearthstone with Ahr.
At first, Ahr could rely on his own experience to fight her on equal footing. But now, the High Elf had beaten Ahr five times in a row.
