Chapter 42: The "Insurance" Mechanism Prepared by Shul

"call--"

Tucson wiped his smooth forehead.

It took a while, probably about three or four hours.

With the help of Takson, the basket in Fulilian's hand was also filled with various medicinal materials.

"You're a quick learner, thank you."

Feeling the weight in her hand, a friendly smile appeared on Fulilian's face.

Thanks to the other party's help, the process of collecting materials saved a lot of time, although for her, the time saved was nothing.

But the other party has helped after all, so it is necessary to express gratitude.

"You're welcome. I learned a lot this time, and I have to thank you."

A sunny smile appeared on Takson's face, making the 1.9-meter-tall young man look honest.

At this time, Fulilian lowered her head as if thinking about something.

"You said you wanted to visit the village, right?"

"Well, but didn't you also say that you need the consent of your village chief?"

"That's what happened."

Looking at what the silver-haired elf was thinking about, Takson suddenly felt that there might be a chance.

His teacher called out the elf named Frillian by name. The two had never met before, but when they met, the teacher recognized each other immediately.

In Takson's opinion, that "question" at that time meant that Xuer was certain that the other party was the person he was looking for.

The teacher has always been like this. As an angel, it is very reasonable for him to have secrets that he himself does not know.

He never doubted that Xiuer could always come up with something he had never seen before.

The reason why Takson helped the other party to negotiate with Fulilian was because he felt that his teacher really had something to do in the "Land of Elves".

"Then how can we get your village chief to agree?"

"You really want to enter the village?"

Instead of answering, Fulilian asked a question that stumped Takson.

It's not that he really wanted to go and see it, as his curiosity about elves had long been exhausted by his teacher's popular science education. But he also didn't know what Xuel was going to do in the land of elves.

So he was stumped by the question.

Fortunately, Freellian didn't really care about their real purpose. After all, Tuxon looked so honest and he also helped her.

Being relatively young, Freelian didn't have any "warning" towards others.

"Since you've helped me, I can go talk to the village chief."

"Really? Thank you very much!"

"Ah."

Nodding, Fulilian looked at Shuul who was sitting beside her and observing the whole process.

"By the way, my name is Tucson. I'm sorry for not introducing myself before."

"Really? I remember that."

"Also, the purple-haired girl over there is called Xiuer, and she is my teacher."

"Hey, you two are in this kind of relationship."

Fulilian's expression did not change. She actually had no idea about humans.

Among the elves, there are also cases where older elves look like minors. So for Furlian, an elf, it is not surprising that a 1.9-meter-tall strong man has a loli teacher.

"Then get ready and go."

"Okay, I'll go inform the teacher right away."

"No, actually..."

"[Negative] I already know about this. No need to notify."

Xuul's voice came from behind Takson. Without the latter's noticing, Xuul had come behind him at some point.

Because of the angle, Fulilian saw the whole process directly. In her eyes, there was no breath or movement in Xuer's actions.

He was just walking towards her normally, but he was eerily silent, like a ghost. If she hadn't been able to see him, she probably wouldn't have noticed Xuer's actions.

"Teacher, please don't be so scary, okay? Fortunately, I'm used to it."

Yes, there was a time when Takson was often frightened by Shule's silent approach, but no matter how much he complained, his teacher would not change. There was no other way, so he could only change himself.

So he got used to it.

"[Negative] I did not commit any illegal acts, and the conclusion does not have any factors that could create a "scare"."

"Okay, okay, my question."

Watching the conversation between the master and disciple in front of her, Fulilian felt a little confused and curious.

But she didn't ask too many questions, just thinking that this was a normal way for humans to get along.

"[Reminder] Time is up, the preparation phase is over, and you can proceed to the next step."

"The teacher said it's time to go."

In order to prevent the other party from not understanding what Shul said, Tuckson kindly translated it to Fulilian.

"Well, come with me."

......

----

......

"Teacher, why did you come to this land of elves?"

"【Answer】To get in touch with Fulilian."

"Why do you want to get in touch with Fulilian? She doesn't look like anything special."

"【Answer】Flillian as an individual is important."

"Huh? Why is it important? Could it be something that will happen in the future?"

"......"

The master and disciple were now outside the elf village, quietly waiting for news from Fulilian who was going to negotiate with the village chief.

And this conversation took place while we were waiting.

Speaking of which, Fulilian said "It will only take a moment" before leaving.

Xiuer didn't have much hope for this.

With the elves' concept of time, he really couldn't guess how long Fulilian's "a while" was, and Takson didn't know this.

He really believed that Fulilian would be back soon.

So, an hour later——

"Teacher, don't you think we were fooled? It's been so long."

"【Negative】The elves' concept of time is different from that of humans."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Why didn't you tell me before?"

"[Answer] You didn't ask."

"..."

Well, that's what the teacher said, and Tuckson was speechless.

And so, another half an hour passed...

They finally waited for the silver figure.

"Okay, the village chief had something to ask just now, and he has agreed to it now."

Fulilian was talking to the two people in front of her, but she noticed that unlike the calm Shuul, Takson had an expression on his face that said "the long wait is finally over."

She was a little confused, it didn't take that long.

"[Notification] Message received."

"【Additional】Flillian, I'll lend this to you."

As he spoke, Xiuer took out a golden ball and handed it to Fulilian. Although the latter didn't know what it meant, she still took it and observed the object curiously.

"what is this?"

"[Answer] A fantastic tool that can help you survive in the face of existential crises in the future."

Takson looked at the golden sphere and thought of what his teacher had explained before. He immediately thought of something, but did not say it out loud. The teacher must have her reasons for doing this.

"is it?"

Fulilian looked at the ball, which was only the size of her palm, in confusion. She didn't understand how this thing could help.

It seems like it should be some kind of "magic", right?

This Shuul should be a magician, but he does not have any "magic power". The reason why Fulilian thinks so is because she vaguely feels that the other party is very powerful.

"So, this is a gift between 'friends'?"

"[Correction] It's "temporary loan". I'll come back to take it back after you use it."

Because the massacre of elves was not a recent event, Xuul could not wait here for it to happen. Even if he could wait, his apprentice Taksen did not have many "ten years".

For humans, this time is too long.

So he came up with this plan.

"You don't deny that we are "friends"?"

"..."

Xuel didn't answer, so Fulilian took it as a tacit agreement.

Although this person has a weird personality, he feels pretty good. Therefore, Xuel's impression of him in Fulilian's mind has improved a little.

Frillian didn't know what she would experience in the future, so she regarded Xuer's "insurance" as an act between "friends".

Well, calling her a "friend" even though they haven't known each other for long, shouldn't I say that this is worthy of Freellian at this stage. She is not an old thing yet, and her mentality is still relatively immature compared to the life cycle of elves.

However, the insurance has been released, and the purpose of Xiuer's trip has been achieved.

It was time to go, and he had already found out about the internal situation of the elven village during the exploration phase.

However, he noticed the hormone condition of his apprentice Takson.

Hey man, didn’t you say that you weren’t curious about what the elf village looked like? What’s with all this excitement? You say one thing and do another.

For Xiuer, as a teacher, satisfying his apprentice's little hobby is not much trouble.

It was okay to spend some time satisfying the apprentice's interests. He had already calculated that this trip would not waste much time. In that case, there was nothing more to say.

"[Notice] Take us in."

"it is good."

Tuckson didn't say anything because he found that Fulilian had already adapted to the teacher's way of speaking, so she no longer acted as Xuer's mouthpiece.

Just like that, the two of them, led by Fulilian, walked into the legendary and mysterious land of elves...

......

Chapter 43: Shuul's Second Layer of "Insurance"

Under the leadership of Fulilian, Xuer and his companions entered the mysterious land of elves.
