It didn't take much effort for Han Jin to learn a lot from Louise. Of course, it was only things that Louise thought were safe to share with outsiders. Her sister, Lola, noticed that something was wrong with Nicholas's army. Coincidentally, a city lord discovered a group of unicorns in the forest and immediately reported the news to Lola. Lola had always wanted to form a personal team of unicorn Knights. She took the opportunity to send Panven and Louise, as well as her substitute, into the forest to capture the unicorns. In fact, she had secretly stayed in Moonlight City the whole time.
In fact, Lola's substitute was not so weak, or she would have been exposed long ago. In the process of capturing the unicorns, they encountered a suicide attack. Lola's substitute was weakened by a curse, and the priests accompanying the team could do nothing. They could only wait until they returned to Moonlight City and find a cardinal to remove the curse.
Louise's way of telling the story was frustrating. She would jump from one thing to another after just the beginning of one incident. There was no order to it at all, but Han Jin's ability to understand was very good. In the end, he got the gist of it.
Panven's life was tough. Under Louise's insistence, he had to use three Spatial Transmissions. Louise was relieved, but Panven's stamina and mana were almost depleted. He didn't even have the strength to stand up. The unicorns had just been tamed and couldn't accept the fate of being ridden, so they could only be supported by others.
At night, the team approached a mountain. In Han Jin's opinion, there was a dead end ahead, so they should go around it. However, Louise, who was in the lead, did not seem to know anything and just kept walking forward. Han Jin knew that this was related to the Elf Village, so he did not say anything and just quietly followed behind.
Walking to the bottom of the mountain, there was a high cliff in front of them. The trees here were extremely lush, and the grass under their feet was like a green pond. Even the mountain walls were covered in dense vines.
Louise was looking around when a figure suddenly jumped out from the vines. Upon closer inspection, it was a female elf. No wonder it was difficult for others to discover her. Her battle dress and leather armor were all green. In this forest, there were hiding places everywhere. Unless one could sense the aura of life or had other abilities, it was impossible to discover her with one's sight.
Louise and the elf exchanged a few affectionate words. The elf waved his hand, and the vines on the mountain wall slowly parted, revealing a small path that was wide enough for one person to pass through. Louise turned around to greet the elf and walked into the crack first.
After walking for about thirty to forty meters, the path ahead suddenly opened up. A small plain appeared in front of everyone. With the help of the moonlight, Han Jin could clearly see that there were dozens of straw huts in the center of the plain. Near the straw huts were hundreds of crooked withered trees. This plain was a world full of vitality. Compared to the surrounding environment, those withered trees seemed out of place. It seemed that the population of the Elf Village wasn't large. Pan Wen had said that the Elf Village was very strong. That was too exaggerated. Could it be that all the elves here were high-grade professionals?
A strange sound came and attracted Han Jin's attention. He looked in the direction of the sound and found that there was a huge cave in the mountain wall. The cave was about thirty meters tall and more than twenty meters wide. It was pitch black inside, and he couldn't see what was inside.
The lights in the straw hut lit up, and a female elf in her twenties came out with her clansmen. Elves lived very long lives. The so-called age referred to human standards.
Louise ran over with a smile. The female elf took Louise's hand and whispered something. It probably wasn't their first time meeting, because the female elf's attitude was very amiable, and her face was full of affection.
Just as they were talking, a few younger female elves ran over from the back of the village, chatting and laughing. Louise let out a scream and immediately got into a mess with the other female elves. Louise's personality was too unique … She would always scream when she was angry, and it was the same when she saw her friends. It made people not know whether to laugh or cry.
The female elf in the lead led Louise into the village. What was shocking was that the withered trees by the village were actually living creatures. They retreated to the side to make way. Han Jin was shocked. Only now did he see that those weren't withered trees, but tree demons!
The unicorns at the back of the group had always been very obedient, but when they reached the village, they gradually became restless. They let out cheerful cries from their noses and ran around the grassland nonstop. Some even ran near the Tree Demon and cautiously observed it. A few strong men in the group hurriedly rushed out and restrained the unicorns, afraid that they would cause trouble.
Under the lead of the female elf, everyone walked into a tall thatched hut. If one were to talk about living conditions, this place was very simple and crude, but it was full of the aura of nature. Furthermore, it was very tidy and exuded a refreshing fragrance.
There were no tables or chairs in the straw hut, only a few beautifully carved tree stumps. Beside the stumps were cushions woven from grass. However, there were too many guests in the hut, so there weren't enough seats. Most of the people stood there. Han Jin was lucky enough to get one, and he sat down cross-legged.
The female elf in the lead called a little elf over and whispered a few words. The little elf ran out and soon came back with a wooden bucket. Another elf placed a cup on each stump. This was the only thing Han Jin saw in the elven village that represented human civilization.
The little elf filled each cup with water and then walked out with the wooden bucket. Louise held the cup with a smile and asked, "Blanche, how many moon wells do you have now?"
"Silly child." The female elf in the lead smiled. "It's not easy to keep one moon well running. Many large elven settlements don't even have one moon well."
"That's because they're useless." Louise curled her lips and drank the cup.
Blanche smiled bitterly and shook her head. She was already used to Louise's blabbermouth, so she didn't say anything.
Han Jin wanted to drink as well, but when he heard that there was only one moon well in the village, he couldn't help but pause. The female elves who came later were all wet, and their hair was still dripping water. It wasn't bathwater, was it? Even if the elves were very clean, drinking bathwater … was a different matter.
Han Jin had just put down the cup when Pan Wen's actions attracted his attention. Not only did Pan Wen drink all the water in the cup, he even used his tongue to lick the remaining water droplets on the sides of the cup. When he realized that he had attracted attention, he resentfully put the cup down on the stump.
Han Jin couldn't figure out Pan Wen's strength, but he remembered what Louise said. Lola would listen to Pan Wen in other aspects. It was obvious that Pan Wen was Lola's right-hand man. For someone like him to treasure the water in the cup so much, there must be something about him that was worth treasuring.
Thinking of this, Han Jin no longer hesitated. He picked up the cup and took a sip. Then, his eyes suddenly widened. An extremely pure Yin Qi slid down his throat and circled around his chest and abdomen. The energy contained in the water wasn't much. It was only a few times more than the thunderbird meat he ate some time ago, but this was pure lunar aura! Even compared to the legendary Jade Nectar, the effect wasn't much different!
Han Jin drank the water in a few gulps. Like Pan Wen, he reluctantly licked the remaining water droplets with the tip of his tongue. Pan Wen let out a low chuckle.
Han Jin slowly put the cup down on the stump. If he knew these elves, he would definitely ask them to give him more water, even if it meant paying a price. Unfortunately, there was no room for him to speak here. He was lucky to be able to drink a cup. He could only remain silent.
Louise's eyes moved and she smiled. "Blanche, don't be so stingy! This is an important guest from afar. It seems … he hasn't drunk enough yet. "
Han Jin smiled and didn't say anything polite. He wasn't a pretentious person, but he felt that Louise was much more pleasing to the eye.
"Oh?" Blanche also smiled, then gave an elf a look. "Your sister recruited another powerful assistant? I should congratulate her. "
"Him? He's not one of us. "
"What? He's not one of you? "Blanche's expression changed drastically.
"He …" Louise knew that she had misspoken again. She stuttered as she explained, "Sister Blanche, don't … don't misunderstand. He's not an enemy!"
"Fool!" Blanche angrily roared and suddenly stood up. The elves who had been smiling just a moment ago had all drawn their swords in an instant. Their longbows were all drawn, and a dozen arrows were pointed at Han Jin from afar.
Han Jin was stunned. He didn't know whether to stand up or continue sitting. He never thought that drinking water would cause trouble.
"Speak! Who sent you?! What are you trying to do by sneaking into the elven village?! "Blanche shouted harshly.
"Sister Blanche! Let me explain! "Louise anxiously grabbed Blanche's arm." He's Aude's friend! He came all the way here just to find Aude! "Louise said as she gave Han Jin a look.
Han Jin was stunned. The person he was looking for was indeed Aude, but didn't Louise know many Light Knights? Why did she only mention Aude? But the situation was pressing, and he didn't have time to think. He nodded lightly.
"Aude?!" Blanche's expression softened. "You're friends with Aude?"
Blanche blinked hard. If this could be replaced, she would definitely nod for Han Jin. Han Jin sighed and shook his head. He couldn't pretend. If Blanche asked about Aude and he couldn't answer, then it would be impossible to explain.
Louise stomped her feet in anger and stared at Han Jin with an exasperated look. "Blanche, don't get me wrong!" she shouted. He really is our friend. He killed many of Nikola's dogs during the day. Really, we all saw it with our own eyes! "
Blanche snorted coldly. "Louise, you're too kind!"
Han Jin's figure suddenly sank down and disappeared without a trace. Then, the elves outside cried out in alarm. The elves in the hut all rushed outside, but Han Jin suddenly rose up behind Blanche. Blanche reacted quickly and kicked Han Jin in the chest with her heel. She then took out her longbow from her space ring. By the time she turned around, the longbow was already drawn.
Han Jin leaned to the side and patted Blanche's shoulder. His body tilted and disappeared into the ground again. Han Jin then appeared in his original position and looked at Blanche quietly.
The hut was silent. Han Jin was able to succeed so easily because his' magic 'exceeded everyone's expectations, but it was undeniable that if he wanted to hurt someone, Blanche would've been dead long ago!
"Ahem …" Han Jin coughed dryly. "Is there any more water?"
