Lord: Starting with Contract Half-Elf Twins

After the tree people left, the sailors and slave refugees settled down.

Even the sea crabs retreated and stopped surrounding their boat.

Kailian looked at the two people chatting happily in the distance and scratched his head.

Ms. Tasha is amazing; she even has friends in the wilderness.

Or a friend who can command monsters.

……

"You actually got to Sapphire Bay? And you can command these monsters? How did you do that? Did Solina and Viola come with you too? And that building on the shore..."

Despite Tasha's calm and composed demeanor just now, once it was just the two of them, a barrage of questions came out like a machine gun.

She became more and more agitated as she asked questions, feeling that every single one of them was impossible to answer.

Allen smiled helplessly: "Don't rush me, I'll explain it to you slowly."

Allen briefly recounted what happened six months after they parted ways.

Those inexplicable things:

For example, use the character panel to scout for dangers to traverse the wilderness, and use the [Recruit] function to subdue monsters.

He brushed all these things off by saying he was lucky.

After hearing this, Tasha looked at Allen suspiciously, but ultimately couldn't ask any more questions.

After all, it's someone else's secret, and she has no right to pry.

Moreover, there were many things she couldn't explain to Allen.

For example, the fact that she belongs to the Hidden Light Society, Princess Amber's secret organization.

She simply made up a story that she was traveling on a merchant ship and got separated from the ship during a storm, which led her to this place by accident.

Of course, Allen probably already knew that the female thief Tasha was likely connected to the royal family.

Those warriors who remained calm even when facing the treants all had character panels filled with elite level characters.

Especially that captain named Kyleon.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

An entire Royal Guard squad.

The captain possesses a hero-level template and also has the special talent [Innate Divine Strength].

Allen didn't see the [Weapon Master] class on any of the other guards, so it seems to be at least an advanced or hybrid class.

Allen estimated that with such a small team, they might even have a chance to defeat the Black Wizard—the Decayers—who roam the wilderness.

Silver Dragon, who came looking for trouble a couple of days ago, probably won't get any advantage against such a small team.

Given the significant level difference, it was even less likely that his own leader-level template would win.

Unless we use a swarm of monsters to wear down the enemy, the losses would be too great.

However, this was just Allen's assumption; they were not enemies.

"Since Lady Tasha needs to pass through on her way back to the Kingdom of Dorne, although I can't offer much help, I'd like to do my best to entertain you."

"Then we'll have to trouble you. We've been very tired these past few days at sea."

Tasha did not refuse; being able to get a good rest would greatly help her journey through the wilderness later on.

So Allen sent a message to Flintclaw, instructing it to prepare the freshest food.

At the same time, send a message to Solina and Viola, informing them of Tasha's arrival and inviting them to come and meet her.

All three of them, including Alan, were somewhat grateful to Tasha.

Although she only offered a water bag and a dagger, these two ordinary items played a very important role in the long journey across the wilderness that followed.

Solina still cherishes these two items to this day.

……

That evening, an open-air dinner was held on the beach.

Although it was a dinner party, the food consisted only of various roasted and stewed meats, but they were fresh.

After this period of research, Allen and Solina collected many spices that tasted good.

But there were just too many people today, and Allen's stockpile of spices was not enough, so only Tasha and the guards were able to enjoy them.

Solina placed a piece of meat, coated with honey and roasted, on Tasha's plate, and then distributed the wooden bowls filled with liquid to everyone.

"This is the fruit wine that Allen taught me to make, but he said it hasn't been aged long enough. Why don't you try it?"

Viola took the initiative to introduce them to Tasha.

Neither she nor Solina expected to see Tasha again, and they were both in quite good spirits.

Before Tasha could even pick up her bowl, Kylian had already downed it in one gulp.

"Mmm, really good! I didn't expect to get a drink! Little sister, do you have any more? Give me another bowl!"

"Well……"

Viola was surprised that Kyleon drank first. She and Solina didn't have much affection for human men, and they only sat at the same table reluctantly to see Tasha. At this moment, they looked a little awkward.

"Yes, please use it."

Allen pushed the barrel directly in front of Kelion, whose eyes lit up immediately. He hugged the barrel to his chest and began to drink heartily, taking bites of roasted meat and sips of wine.

Tasha watched this scene, speechless.

As is her habit, she always has to be wary of others. Even when she reunites with Allen and the half-elf twins after a long separation, she will first test whether they are poisonous or not.

Now we don't need to test anymore.

She tasted Viola's fruit wine; it was slightly astringent, but then had a very noticeable sweet aftertaste.

It was quite different from the ale and spirits that the lower classes drank; it seemed more like the kind of drinks that nobles preferred.

"It's delicious, I really like it."

Viola was overjoyed to hear this: "Sister Tasha, I'm glad you like it."

Allen glanced at Solina: "Since you like them, Viola, please take some with you for them to drink on their journey."

"Okay, okay."

With that, Solina and Viola left their seats to prepare drinks.

Tasha understood what Allen meant; she probably knew that Solina and Viola didn't want to be in this kind of situation.

To be honest, she was actually very pleased to see Allen's actions.

Solina and Viola's attitudes toward men were obvious to all, and she could probably guess what their past experiences were like.

In the continent of Tyrese, where the elven race has long since departed, the birth of a half-elf is often inextricably linked to nobility.

As someone who also came from a gray area, she deeply empathized with this experience.

With Allen protecting them, she could finally relax.

She had originally intended to ask them if they would like to go to Dorne with her, but now she didn't need to ask.

Tasha took another bite of the roasted meat. After eating dry rations at sea for so long, being able to enjoy a juicy roasted meat was a great comfort to her.

While eating, Tasha brought up the topic: "I said before that I would repay you for saving me from the dark wizard's dungeon, but unfortunately I never had the chance again."

"I've come here unexpectedly and haven't brought any gifts to express my gratitude, so it seems we'll have to wait until next time we meet."

"However, you can tell me what you want, and I promise I will do my best to find it for you."

Upon hearing this, Allen smiled and said, "Actually, I do have a few things I'd like to ask you for help with. It's better to be lucky than early."

"Oh? Is there anything I can help with given my sudden visit? I'd like to hear it."

"I would rather call it cooperation than helping."

"cooperate?"
