why not.

After Gut and Celia got their room keys from the hotel front desk, they went back to their rooms to put down their luggage. After a quick wash, they walked around the town together. Before nightfall, they found a restaurant that had good reviews from the locals for dinner.

At the dinner table, looking at the teacher sitting opposite him, showing off steak and juice, Gut hesitated for a while, and then asked a question he had wanted to ask for a long time.

"teacher?"

"Ok?"

"According to the legends in the picture book, shouldn't elves like to eat fruits and vegetables and drink dew? You don't seem to be like that."

"hehe."

Celia rolled her eyes at her disciple, then after chewing the steak in her mouth, she took a sip of the juice and said.

"If I really want to do it as described in the picture book, do I still have to live in a tree every night?"

"Ah."

Gu Te nodded.

"I don't know where these stories and rumors came from. They have given people such strange stereotypes about elves."

Celie slapped her forehead and explained helplessly.

"We, the elves and the dwarves, all fall within the category of humans."

"Apart from a few very specific physiological characteristics and an extremely long lifespan, there is no other difference from humans in the narrow sense."

"Neither has the legendary racial magical talent, nor does it have the strange habit of living in the wild as described in the storybooks."

"Most elves know magic, and their magical attainments are quite good. This is because during their long lives, they always need to find something to do, and the infinite mysteries of magic are obviously the first choice for most people."

"Their exquisite accomplishments aren't due to their high magical talent, but simply due to their long training time."

"To be honest, humans actually have the highest talent. Whether it's magical talent or combat talent, you humans can reach or even surpass the immortal species in just a few decades."

“So, stop having that stereotype.”

Celia said as she looked at the disciple in front of her, and poked Gut in the air with the fork in her hand as a threat.

"That"

After listening to the teacher explain that the difference between elves and humans is not that big, Gut continued to ask.

"Teacher, since there aren't many differences between elves and humans, is there any reproductive isolation between you and me?"

Celia: ???

"Well"

This time, Celie was silent for a long time.

After a while, Celie spoke to her disciples.

"I really don't know the answer to this question."

"But Gutt, I know something else very well."

"what?"

Gut, who was about to continue harassing Celie with words, stopped and asked in confusion.

"That means if you don't shut your mouth, the teacher will use magic to blast you away."

Gut:.

I'm already honest, please let me go.

At the same time, in the Fortress City Frisch's City Lord's Mansion.

Unlike the cheerful atmosphere on Gut's side, the City Lord's Mansion was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.

The city lord's wife cried bitterly while holding her eldest son who had just returned from hunting and was wearing a white robe.

The white robe that had not been stained with a drop of blood or dust during the close combat with the monster was now stained with tears.

The eldest son hugged his mother who was crying because of his younger brother's disappearance. He didn't know what to do for a moment and could only look to his father for help.

What could the father sitting on the side do? When he saw his eldest son's white robe wet with tears, his brows twitched wildly.

If she wasn't his beloved wife and the mother of his son, the city lord would have pulled her away long ago.

Chapter 36 Smoke rising outside the window

As time passes by.

Finally, the missing noble's father, the head of the Olden family, could no longer bear it.

After standing up from his chair, he walked straight to his wife, patted her who was crying, and asked her to let go of their eldest son.

"I say, cry all you want, but what's the big deal about holding our boss? Listen up and let go!"

"I won't let go!"

"I can't even find a son, and I won't let go of this no matter what I say!"

The city lord's wife shouted emotionally, not only dodging her husband's hand, but also hugging her son even tighter.

"Well--"

The city lord sighed helplessly. What a trouble! Where has her pre-marriage, delicate and docile demeanor gone?

Seeing that his direct words didn't work, the city lord had no choice but to change his way of speaking.

He softened his voice first, then moved closer to his wife and began to reason with her.

"Look, our boss just came back from fighting a monster. Not only did he not take off his inner armor, he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water."

"Why don't you try to find someone else first? Hold me and I'll be your hostage while our boss takes a break first, okay?"

After all, the city lord's wife is the eldest daughter of a noble family. Even though she is deeply emotional, she is not an unreasonable shrew and can still listen to some reason.

Therefore, after hearing her husband's persuasion, she hesitated for a moment, and finally let go of her eldest son, squatting on the ground and continuing to sob.

However, the eldest child who was released by his mother still stood there, looking at his crying mother, not knowing what to do for a moment.

It was not until he saw his father waving at him that the eldest son came to his senses. He bowed beside his mother, promised that he would not go out again during this period and would stay at home, and then left the room first.

After the eldest son left, the city lord looked at his wife who was still squatting on the ground crying, reached out to pat her shoulder, then opened his arms and said.

"Come on, I've exchanged hostages with my son, hold me."

"roll!"

The wife spoke to her husband mercilessly, and her first words were the elegant language of the imperial capital.

"Whoever wants to hold you, don't even think about touching me until my son is found."

"You are such a heartless man! If you hadn't provoked the second son every day, asking him to become a warrior, our son wouldn't have disappeared."

"Also, the second child has been missing for three days since you took him out for training, and you, as a father, didn't even notice!"

"At first, when I realized something was wrong, you wouldn't let me go outside to post the missing person notice!"

"If it weren't for you, I would have found my son long ago."

Seeing his wife like this, the city lord who was so majestic outside had no choice but to squat down and stay beside his wife, explaining and comforting her.

"Don't say that. I'm the child's father after all, not his enemy."

"I noticed something the first day he went missing, but I didn't take it seriously. After all, this kid has been lazy and run away from training more than once or twice."

"Moreover, most of them came to you, or were hidden by people you sent, fearing that I would catch them and give them a beating."

Hearing this, his wife's sobbing stopped for a moment. "Who told you to set such a heavy workload for our son? He's my son. How can I just ignore him when he comes back unable to bear the hardship?"

When the city lord heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched twice, but he had finally managed to coax his wife into saying a few words, and now was not the time to lose his temper.

Seeing that his previous way of speaking was effective, the city lord continued to speak softly beside his wife.

"You, stop imagining that."

"I've sent people to investigate the city's magical barriers and the rotating guards at the gates several times, and I've also personally visited them."

"There are no signs of demonic intrusion in the city's magical barrier."

"The security guards at the city gates did not observe any suspected criminals entering or leaving."

"So the only possible scenario is that your precious second child ran away from home without even saying goodbye."

"That's because you force me to do that every day!"

The wife stood up from the ground, spoke to her husband in dissatisfaction, and hit her husband's chest several times with her fist.

"You know that the second brother doesn't have the warrior talent like the eldest brother, so why not force him to become a warrior every day?"

"If your Alden family can't afford to feed this child at home, then let him be raised by our family. I will change his last name!"

"I can guarantee that my parents will love this child. They will give him a portion of the family property to inherit, ensuring he will live a worry-free life."

Hearing his wife's words, Lord Olden's brows twitched, and a small surge of nameless anger rose in his heart.

In the end, the city lord got angry.

The anger in his chest turned into a helpless sigh and he exhaled. He leaned against the wall and said to his wife.

"Yawa, you know."

"After all, this child has the blood of the [Warrior Land] in his body. Becoming a warrior is the ancestral teaching of our ancestors, and letting him receive warrior training is my final line."

"Yawa, as a mother, I know you love your child."

"But think about it, if we really let him live a life of luxury, how will he protect this city when the demons launch a massive attack?"

"You're going to push the citizens behind you as scapegoats and run for your own life?"

"."

His wife Yava stopped sobbing and fell silent.
