At this time, the female knight was chattering and trying to persuade her parents to send a letter to inform other dwarf people.

"Bring your people closer, the queen will take us away together."

Pod shook his head and refused. Next to him stood a young man.

The young man had loose hair and looked like a savage, with an exaggeratedly large wooden bow slung over his shoulder.

He is Spiller, the boy who accidentally saved Pod's life and the orphan of the Spiller family.

"Arrietty, we have rules that we can't get close to humans." Spiller said to Arrietty in a low voice, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and his fingers were covered with thick calluses.

Arrietty rolled her eyes: "You don't understand anything.

Spiller, the Queen is not human, she is a planeswalker. Did you know that?

If there is only one way out for the Dwarfs, this is the only one left.”

After that, she looked at her parents and said, "I don't expect to convince you. I just hope that when you face the reality, you can really think about whether you want to leave with me."

Homily looked sad, with her head hung, and seemed to be sobbing.

Because she could hardly believe that her daughter would say such a thing.

"You're going to leave us. Are you going to leave alone with that human?"

Arrietty sighed. "Of course not. I will not leave you, Mother. I love you."

"I will only ask the Queen to kidnap you."

Smirking, she opened the door and pointed outside: "She is waiting for us. Seeing is believing, let's take a look at the future of the Dwarf People."

Mori Yuesa sat on the chair.

Standing on the table were the Pod family and the boy named Spiller.

"Now, tell me, human, what on earth are you thinking of?"

Even though they have been together for some time, Pod still has a natural resistance and wariness towards Mori Yuesha.

He kept his wife and daughter behind him and stared at the girl who was eating candy.

Spiller drew his bow and arrow from the side, quietly aiming at Mori Yuesha's eyes.

——Then he was knocked unconscious by Arrietty's punch.

He glared at Arrietty with a black eye.

As they were arguing, a few little people saw Sen Yuesha suddenly stand up and put a pot of plants on the table.

The pot of strange plant that was once withered but is now in full bloom.

Mori Yuesha silently put down the plant, slowly stepped back a few steps, leaned against the wall, pointed at the plant, and then pointed at Arrietty.

"Try it," she said.

Pod and Homily looked at each other.

Arrietty decisively pushed Spiller's hand away and walked towards the plant.

It was calling her.

That's right, as the girl approached, the diamond-shaped rhizome began to glow, gradually revealing a large number of green mint-like light spots.

As Arrietty got closer, the dots of light increased.

The entire desktop has been shrouded in light green light.

Then Arrietty swiftly climbed up the flowerpot and stood next to the diamond-shaped rhizome.

In an instant, emerald spots of light gathered towards her and soon connected together to form gem-clear lines.

They grew from rhizomes, then whooshed out of the house, dispersing into countless thin lines and flying in all directions.

The peach-shaped leaves under the rhizome began to sway along with the light.

Little peach hearts broke away from the roots, came to Arrietty and began to circle around her.

There are many little faces on the peach-shaped leaves.

Those are the faces of other fellow races in this world.

Arrietty's face flushed with excitement.

She carefully touched the leaves with her hands and arranged them into a flat array facing herself. Then, she took a few steps back and spoke to her confused fellow tribesmen.

Chapter 17 Conditions

"Hi, Simon's kid."

"Hello grandma!"

Arrietty greeted everyone she knew first, and Mr. Pod and Homily were obliged to come forward and exchange greetings.

Spiller stood aside holding the bow, staring at Mori Yuesha intently, monitoring her every move.

Mori Yuesha didn't move at all.

She found a comfortable little sofa early, jumped into it, and lay there lazily.

After the pleasantries, Arrietty briefly explained the situation to her fellow tribesmen.

As expected, most of the voices coming from the leaves were objections.

"I have to tell you something, Arrietty. You've been a wild child since you were little, and now you want us to follow... follow some wizard and leave our homeland?"

"How can we ensure our safety?"

Another voice: "I have known your mother for twenty years. Arrietty, what are you playing at? What is this? Magic? I don't believe it!"

An old male voice: "Don't try to fool me! Pod! Do you want to collude with humans and catch us all in one fell swoop?!"

The endless resentment and curses made Arrietty's face full of confusion and frustration. She turned around to look at Mori Yuesha, only to find that her queen had a mischievous look on her face, also staring at her.

"It doesn't matter. They are your people and your subordinates."

Mori Yuesha winked at her with her right eye playfully: "Oh, I forgot to inform you. Arrietty, from today on, you are the king of the dwarf tribe."

"Since you are leading them, those who follow must volunteer."

Arrietty's frustration did not disappear because of this surprise. She whispered, "I just, I just want them to live a better life..."

The female knight's mumbling made her fellow knights in the leaves curse even more loudly.

"What better life? Isn't our life good enough now? God, I can give my child a small piece of meat every week. Can your magician provide us with a better life?"

"Arrietty! Are you lying to us?"

"Proof, we need proof!"

"Take out a sausage first!"

There was shouting in the leaves.

Seeing her daughter being besieged, Homily spat, rolled up her sleeves, walked to the center of the "leaf screen", and blocked her daughter behind her.

"A bunch of old guys! If you don't want to, just wait for death in front of your matchbox! Don't blame my daughter!"

Pod covered his head with his hands. He could understand his wife's behavior, but he was also worried. How many people would be able to leave with his family at the last moment?

Yes, now, he has tacitly agreed to follow Mori Yuesha and leave.

Who made my daughter insist on doing this?

He and Homily could not allow their daughter to leave alone.

They are a family.

The verbal battle was still going on, but Mori Yuesha was getting impatient.

It was so noisy and chattering.

She walked over to the blade screen.

When the people inside saw Mori Yuesha, they fell silent for a moment.

"My name is Mori Yuesha, and I'm a planeswalker."

The girl sat on a chair, picked up Arrietty and Homily with her palms, and carefully placed them back next to Pod. "A planeswalker is a creature that can travel through planes."

"I don't believe it, magic—"

Mori Yuesha frowned and raised her hand: "Can you please listen to me first, Mr. Dwarf."

The other side fell silent.

"I have decided that Arrietty will be my partner and will leave with me. I will also have enough independent space to properly arrange for her parents."

“What I can offer is this: empty space without human presence;

Fertile land, lakes, and beautiful surroundings.

I can even provide three meals a day for you who are unable to work in the fields."

"As a price, some of your young people will have to fight for me."

After saying that, Mori Yuesha leaned back in her chair, "That's all. You can discuss it, can't you see each other?"

Arrietty ran over and moved the array of leaves into a circle so that they could talk to each other.

The content was obviously what Mori Yuesha had expected.

"She's lying to us."

"Yes, I don't think this is magic, it must be a human trick. Aren't they developing some 'technological' thing?"

"Are we going to be killed?"

"How about... asking her to give us some food first?"

The shrewd voice said, "How about asking her to prepare some non-perishable food for us and put it in the designated place we request?"

"agree!"

"Sure, I can send my son to get it!"

The chirping is so annoying!

Mori Yuesha suddenly felt that if no dwarf humans were willing to leave with her, it might be a good thing.

About ten minutes later, just as the girl yawned for the third time, the shrewd voice began to call her.

In just ten minutes, you've decided on the leader who will talk to me?

Mori Yuesha sat up straight, pinched her neck tiredly, and moved the leaves to face herself: "I'm sleepy, how is your discussion going?"

"We have two conditions."

The shrewd voice said cunningly. After confirming that Mori Yuesha was listening carefully, he began to put forward the first condition: "We will give you several places, and you must put the food and supplies we require there."

Mori Yuesa neither agreed nor denied it. She snorted twice and let the other party continue.

"The second condition: We can leave with you, but you must provide us with enough food and a room built according to our requirements every day. Also, you cannot let our children do those dangerous things for you!"

Mori Yuesha nodded: "Anything else?"

The shrewd voice thought for a moment and said, "As for the follow-up, we'll add more depending on the situation. Human, do you agree?"

Mori Yuesha blocked Arrietty's attack with her hand, shook her head, and replied to the voice in the leaves with a chuckle: "In fact, your request is very simple to me."

She stood up and opened the tall cupboard behind her.

It was filled with candies, bacon and bread, and glass jars were filled with sugar, salt and pepper.

This action made the leaves boil!

"Give me two! Just two will do!"

"I want bread!"

"Hey! We agreed, we agreed!"

The shrewd voice became more urgent: "Stop! Stop! Listen to me."
