They recognized their feelings, but the knight had been reincarnated as a fox cub

"Not yet, what's wrong?"

"Before we go to the land of elves, can you take me to a place first?"

"You're asking for a lot. Where?"

"Go to Anlida."

"Anlida? What is that place?"

"A remote and inconspicuous little village in the southeast of the empire."

"Where are you going and what are you doing?" Christine asked casually.

"To do something that I should do." When she said this, Fei Tao's tone became more serious.

Hearing this, Christine didn't ask any more questions. She turned the sickle around and headed towards the empire.

"I am not familiar with the empire. Please show me the general location."

"That village is right on the border of the empire. It's easy to find." Fei Tao led the way. They have now arrived at the border of the empire. Anlida, which is also on the border of the empire, is easy to find.

From a distance, Andlida is a rather inconspicuous little village. More than ten years have passed, and it seems to be the same as it was more than ten years ago, with not much change.

Anlida is just a subordinate village of a remote town. It was established less than a hundred years ago and has no stories or history.

Like thousands of villages in the empire, there are only a few hundred people living here, and it also has a little-known secret.

It’s not really a secret, it’s just that not many people know about it.

This is the hometown of Grand Knight Arins.

In terms of appearance, it hasn't changed at all since I came here many years ago.

It was late at night and there were not many people on the street. Fei Tao came to an open space.

There were still some foundations and wooden boards that had not been cleared away left in this vacant lot.

After being exposed to wind, sun and rain for a long time, most of these wooden boards have become moldy and damaged. No one has lived here for a long time.

This is the former home of Alins, but now it is so dilapidated that it is unrecognizable.

I remember that when I came to this cabin, Alins was just as tall as this wooden board.

Recalling the past, her peach lips curved slightly.

Fei Tao found a stone slab in the wild woods and moved it to the front of the cabin with her hands and tail. She simply trimmed it so that it looked somewhat like a stone tablet. She placed it in front of the cabin, found a sharp stone, and carved a few words on it.

Christine, who was watching the whole process from the side, glanced at the words on it. It was written in the official written language of the empire, "Monument of Grand Knight Commander Arins".

Now, the news of Grand Knight Arins' death has spread throughout the country, although the reason will not be announced.

After all, Alins is the Grand Knight Commander of the Empire and a disciple of the Knight Commander of Dawn. If the people knew that such a person was colluding with the cult, it would definitely cause great unrest, and might even lead many blindly following people to convert to the cult.

Fei Tao understood Beatrice's considerations, so neither Kaido nor Beatrice intended to expose the real cause of Alins' death. They only said that he died in the line of duty, and that was all, leaving it to the people below to make their own opinions.

As the second Grand Knight of the Empire, regardless of whether the Queen liked him or not, or whether she was interested in him or not, she would personally hold a funeral for him and erect a monument and tomb for him.

Therefore, his official tomb should be in the imperial capital, but Fei Tao cannot go to the imperial capital now, so he can only erect a simple tombstone for him in Alins, his little-known hometown.

"Is the memorial over?"

"Yeah." Fei Tao had no expression.

"I have a question."

"what?"

"You like this disciple so much, why do you have to kill him?" Christine didn't understand, or she was rather vague about the concept of 'death'.

As a vampire, she is a truly immortal being with an almost indestructible body. Death is far away and incomprehensible to her.

She couldn't understand why the short-lived species commemorated their dead so frequently. After all, in her opinion, the short-lived species didn't live more than a few years, and death was quite common to them. If it was such a common thing, why did they have to commemorate it so grandly?

".......This world needs someone so heartless and ungrateful." Fei Tao raised her eyes.

"We need such a villain who doesn't care about feelings but only follows the law, otherwise the world will be in chaos, just like the chaos storm decades ago."

"Obviously, people are more willing to shield their cronies and confidants than to enforce justice to the end... Since no one wants to be the bad guy, I have to do it." Staring at the stone tablet in front of him, Fei Taomu's expression was a little lonely.

"............." Christine did not understand this complicated feeling. In her opinion, to love someone is to love that person unconditionally, and to hate someone is to hate that person without reservation.

As for the others, they are just strangers. What does it have to do with her?

Why would she change her opinion of the people close to her for a group of strangers?

After doing all this, Christine continued on the road with Feitao, but this time, Feitao sat properly on the sickle pole. It was clearly just a thin pole, but she was surprisingly stable sitting on it, and no one knew why.

"So what are your future plans?"

"To the land of elves."

"I'm not asking where you're going from now on. I'm asking what your plans are for the future? Are you going to change places and continue to slack off?"

"Otherwise, there's nothing I can do now." Fei Tao shook her fox ears.

"So, you just moved to a new place to retire?"

"The land of elves is more peaceful because there won't be any major accidents. It's quiet there."

"It would be even better if I could get a permanent residence permit." Fei Tao thought as she sat on the sickle.

The land of elves had suffered from war and was in chaos, but now it has almost recovered. Besides, not many alien races can come to the land of elves. It is indeed a very good place for retirement if you have a pass.

“How old are you and you’ve already started taking care of your old age?” Christine frowned slightly.

This young fox in his thirties has declared that he wants to retire, so what can she say?

"What else can I do if I don't take care of myself in my old age? Your Majesty, for humans, thirty-something is no longer young." The wind in the sky blew away some of the sorrow. Fei Tao changed her posture, lying on the sickle, crossing her legs and said.

There is no stipulation on what retired cadres should do. Fei Tao has nothing to do, so of course she should retire. What else can she do?

Isn’t it nice to take a walk, walk your bird, and drink tea every day?

"How is the Elf Land doing these days?"

"How would I know? I'm not one of those people with pointy ears." Christine yawned.

"But Your Majesty, you are well-informed. The blood clan's intelligence network is so large that you can know a lot of things without leaving home."

"What else can we do? Isn't it still the same?" Christine seemed too lazy to answer this question. "I don't even need to see what those elves are doing."

"Besides drinking tea, growing medicinal herbs, studying academic subjects, and composing poems, what else can you do?" Christine was not interested in this kind of retirement life. She found all the elves' hobbies extremely disgusting and boring.

"To me, it's really boring for you to go there. It's meaningless."

"So what is interesting?"

"For example, if there are murders and arson every few days, wars every now and then, and people disappearing inexplicably, it would be even better. It would add some 'festivity' to the bland and tasteless land of the elves~"

"I think you are just hoping for chaos in the world?" Fei Tao pursed her lips.

This old vampire must have lived too long and been too lonely, so she always likes to find fun. She can't survive in a place without fun.

Such a guy would of course be quite disdainful of the extremely old-fashioned and conservative elves.

Looking from afar, across a long river is a dense forest that stretches as far as the eye can see.

This is the boundary between the area where humans live and the dream forest where elves live. Across this river is the elves' sphere of influence.

This river is called 'Feng River'. Both ends of the river flow directly into the sea, clearly dividing the area where humans live from the forest of elves.

Back then, the coalition forces of the northern countries crossed this river and reached the land of elves to plunder.

The northern part of the Dream Forest is covered with snow all year round, and the elf land in the north happens to border the northern countries and has been directly invaded and attacked by the human coalition forces.

The Elf Forest is protected by the Elf God and is not disturbed by war. Only the elves can find the correct entrance. Foreigners who enter the Elf Forest without permission will gradually lose their sense of direction and eventually get lost in the forest, forgetting their original intention, wandering around for days and nights before returning to the exit.

However, the protection of the Elf Forest is not invincible, otherwise the coalition forces of the northern countries would not have successfully broken through the Dream Forest.

At that time, there was turmoil within the Elf Forest. The Elf King died unexpectedly at an early age, and the young Elf Princess inherited the throne and power. The protection of the Elf Forest was greatly weakened, which gave the northern countries an opportunity to take advantage.

As an ancient ethnic group, the elves, who had lived in peace for too long, were actually defeated by humans at the beginning of the war and were even driven back to the ancestral land of the Holy Tree. This was truly shocking.

The Elf Forest is a barrier but also a shackle, locking up the elves' martial spirit and making them believe that they can enjoy eternal peace by relying on this barrier. Military force has become an outdated and backward thing of the past.

Fortunately, they received great help from a human knight in times of crisis, which helped them survive the most difficult moment and prevented the Holy Wood from being controlled and destroyed by the Northern Coalition Forces.

After enduring the all-out attack of the Northern Coalition, the elves who had recovered their breath finally remembered that they were still a medieval tribe. Relying on their profound heritage and the concerted efforts of thousands of elves, they barely drove the invaders out of their home.

It is often easier to destroy something than to build it. Even though the Elf Land, which took thousands of years to build, has returned to peace, the mess and holes left by the invaders will be difficult to repair even after hundreds of years.

The looted treasures, destroyed cultural relics and buildings, and lost technology and art are only secondary. As a medieval race, the elves have a very worrying fertility rate, which makes them unable to withstand war and population consumption.

The compatriots who were killed and abducted in the war became the eternal scars and nightmares of the elves.

Long-lived elves rarely experience separations of life and death. If a friend or partner of hundreds of years disappears overnight, this scar will remain in their hearts forever.

After the war, the elf population dropped sharply, and many elves suffered from depression and post-war syndrome.

For the elves, who are mentally sensitive and fragile, this blow was too great. It also made the elven leaders realize what war really meant to the elves.

In order to ensure the continuation of the tribe and the safety of their people, the elves' high-ranking officials cut off all contacts with all alien races, especially humans, out of fear of choking.

The elves exercise strict control over the entry of humans. Not only are they blocked by the Elf Forest, but even if they are allowed to enter, they will be strictly checked upon entering the land of the elves.

The elves can no longer bear the risk of war, and anyone who might be a spy must not be let go.

This battle gave the elves PTSD. They were originally an xenophobic race and had certain prejudices against humans. After the war, the elves' prejudices against humans became even deeper.

Fei Tao didn't know what to say about this. It was no wonder that the elves were wary of humans like they were thieves. Facts proved that many human leaders were eyeing the Elf Forest, a piece of fat meat that was juicy and juicy, and would pounce on it and take a bite if they let their guard down for a moment.

No matter whether you can bite it to death or not, you’ll take a bite if you can, and your mouth will be full of oil and water.

Christine landed before arriving at the Fairy Forest.

The barrier of the Elf Forest is directly connected to the Elf Holy Tree, and even she finds it difficult to enter without a pass.

Christine's sickle flew very fast, but by the time she arrived at the land of elves, it was almost dawn.

"Weren't you a great hero of the elves before? How come those ungrateful elves didn't even give you a travel pass?" Christine glanced at Fei Tao.

After the sickle was put down, Feitao regained her human form, and the white-haired girl turned back into a blonde human girl.

"I did send it, but I threw it away when I left the land of elves." Fei'er thought.

"You are quite capable." Christine handed a leaf with golden veins to Fei'er.

Fei'er was not unfamiliar with this golden-veined leaf. It was a leaf taken from the branch of the sacred tree of the elves. Even if it was separated from the branch and had no water, it could remain evergreen all year round and never wither. Holding it was equivalent to having the qualification to enter the land of the elves and would not get lost in the forest of elves.

"What? Didn't you say you wanted to go to the land of elves to avoid the limelight?" Seeing that Fei'er was reluctant to take the holy leaf, Christine raised her eyebrows.

"........I want to go to the snow elf settlement first." After hesitating for a moment, Fei'er said.

Fei'er remembered that when the Northern Allied Forces invaded the Dream Forest, the Snow Elves were undoubtedly the biggest victims of the war. The Snow Elves living in the north were not protected by the Elf Forest. The Northern Allied Forces could come and go as they pleased, and the number of Snow Elves who were missing, killed in battle, or abducted was completely impossible to count.

After the war, nearly one-third of the snow elf villages and towns disappeared from the map.

Fei'er wanted to enter the Elf Forest from there and see if her old friends were still there.

"......Are you sure you want to go to the snow elf settlement in this state?" Christine's eyes became a little subtle.

You should know that most elves nowadays hate humans, and the elves that hate humans the most are the snow elves.

After all, unlike other elves, snow elves are direct victims of the war.

Chapter 118: 3~You have a rich imagination

"It's up to you." Hearing Fei'er's plan, Christine stretched lazily. "If you want to go to the snow elves first, go ahead. But I advise you not to go there in human form, or you'll get into trouble again."

"I know." He said that he knew, but in fact he didn't listen at all.

After spending some time together, Christine also realized that this knight girl was actually quite stubborn in some aspects.

For example, when using the fox form, after the transformation her bloodline may slightly influence her self-perception towards the fox side, but once it is lifted, her self-perception will return to that of a human, and she will have a rejection of her own fox bloodline.

She didn't like to show this attitude in front of others unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Your Majesty, thank you for everything you have done for me so far. I am grateful for everything." Fei'er bowed deeply to Christine.

"Oh~?" He was much more polite after turning back into a human.

"You're welcome. You've given me a lot of fun, haven't you~?"

“Humans may not be good at anything, but they are still top-notch at making things happen and having fun.”
