The fifth king of the elves

Chapter 257. 257. Xiao Song's Ranch

After dinner, Luther and Mai, led by Xiao Song, boarded a snow mountain near the gymnasium.

The reason was that Luther remembered curiously. When he proposed to fight in the afternoon, Xiao Song said that he would go to the foot of the mountain to call back his elf.

Unlike the owner of the pavilion that Luther had seen, Xiao Song's elves seemed to be in a semi-stocking state.

Xiao Song was very interested in seeing Luther, and decided to show Luther her snow-capped pasture at the foot of the mountain.

The road to the ranch was obviously much easier than what Luther had seen before. Not to mention the smooth road, there were some signs on the side, indicating the location information and marking that this was a private ranch.

Two cabins were built at intervals on the mountain road. Xiaosong said that some emergency supplies were stored in them to prevent unexpected weather such as blizzards. It can be seen that Xiaosong has put a lot of effort into maintaining his ranch.

Luther wanted to come here because he wanted to learn a lesson. He was very curious about how a person like Xiao Song would manage his ranch.

Xiao Song, who was walking in front, suddenly clapped his hands: "Here we are."

Hidden in the night, a pasture completely surrounded by wooden piles appeared in front of Luther.

The pasture that Xiao Song drew out is backed by a huge cave, and there is a large area of ​​coniferous forest nearby. The only artificial trace in the pasture is a two-story wooden house that Xiao Song built for himself to rest.

The ranch doesn't look that big, but when passing through the cave, Xiao Song's smile made Luther understand something.

Xiao Song entered the wooden house and turned on the lights on the fence of the pasture. The pasture, which had been sleeping in the dark, woke up. Some of the dazzling lights made Luther feel uncomfortable.

Shuttlecock Mian standing on Luther's shoulder consciously turned off the flash.

Xiao Song yelled at Mai and poured out a bag of elf food and fruit that hadn't been prepared yet, while Luther and the elves helped to bucket the food mixed by Mai and Xiao Song.

According to Xiao Song, every time it comes, it will prepare a certain amount of elf food, which is enough for the elves he raises at the foot of the mountain to eat for a week or two.

Because the temperature is low, and the elves have the habit of burying elf food in the snow and keeping it for eating, Xiao Song is very relieved about these things.

"How many elves do you keep here?"

Xiao Song finished processing the last piece of elf food, took off his gloves, and counted silently.

"Fourteen, there are always eight in the gym, not many."

This is true, according to the treatment of a core pavilion owner like Xiao Song, it is easy to raise more than twenty elves.

Carrying the bucket of elf food, Xiao Song did not forget to introduce the location of the ranch to Luther and how to build a good environment by himself.

"With your current strength, you can apply to the alliance to become the owner, and the assessment of the core owner will not be too difficult for you."

"Forget it, it's not that time yet." Luther smiled wryly.

Xiao Song took Luther and Mai into the cave.

There were obvious traces of repairs on the rock walls of the cave. Luther had known for a long time that the surrounding area outside was just for the elves to breathe and have fun, and the cave was the most important thing. But when he really walked in, he realized how much effort Xiao Song had put into it.

The trimmed rock walls are dotted with many crystals, and the lighting here is not as bright as outside, mainly in warm colors.

Under the light from these warm-toned wall lamps, crystals of various colors reflect charming light colors throughout the cave.

Luther felt as if he had stepped into another world. There was no cold wind, no snow, and no howling mountain wind. Except for the echo of Luther's footsteps, there was silence.

It's like stepping into a fairy tale world.

"These crystals..." Mai looked at everything in the cave obsessively, her words became a little pale at this moment.

Xiao Song chuckled, seeming very proud: "I didn't find many treasures when I dug this cave, and I didn't plan to exchange them for money, so I just used them for decoration."

"Does it look good? In fact, there were some at the beginning, but a lot of them were accidentally trampled by the ivory pig."

"Hey, I can't help it. I just like these shiny things. Girls always hope to have their own fairy tale world."

The light disappeared at the fork in the cave. Xiao Song said that further inside is the place where the elves live, so she didn't decorate it inside, and everything was up to the elves.

Putting the food on the ground, Xiao Song let Nine Tails out, making Nine Tails howl a few times.

The curious Luther stood aside, looking into the depths of the dark cave.

After a while, the sound of dense footsteps came from the cave.

Spike Shell, Ice Ghost Guard jumped out of the shadows, Mini Ice, Niura, and Milip Baby rode on the white sea lion, and slid along an ice surface next to the rock wall to Xiao Song.

After being stroked by Xiao Song, the elves began to gather around the poured food to eat.

In addition to the ice type, Xiao Song also raised elves with other attributes here.

Right now, Xiao Song and Mai were holding each other in their arms, rubbing the positive and negative electric pats vigorously.

"These two little guys come here from the gymnasium to play with other elves every week." Xiao Song explained to Luther.

After a while, Xiao Song looked into the cave curiously: "Did they all go out today?"

Luther didn't know what Xiao Song was waiting for. He followed Xiao Song's line of sight, and it was pitch black.

Just when Luther was about to shift his gaze to Mai, a group of soft cries came from the shadows.

Crowds of boars crawled over, sniffing the ground with their puffy noses, finally found the bucket of food that no one was eating, and surrounded it excitedly.

Luther counted, there are at least 20 boars here.

"Xiao Song, do you like little boars so much? Raise so many at once?"

Xiao Song, who was teasing the negative electricity, turned his head and waved his hand: "How is it possible, I just raised a small boar, and I put it in the gym to deal with newcomers. The small boars here are all wild."

"wild?"

"Yes, wild. This cave actually leads to the other side behind the mountain, and there are several entrances. This group of small boars entered here by mistake this year. Although the cold is nothing to them, the lack of food is more troublesome."

"Generally speaking, such a large group should be taken care of by an evolved long-haired pig or ivory pig, but something may have happened. Now there is no one to take care of this group of small boars."

Luther knew what this concept was. Wild elves also competed for living space. Without a strong leader, it was difficult for a team to survive.

The lack of food is largely due to the lack of a strong leader in this group of boars.

"In fact, this happened in previous years. Last year, a few frightened-horned deer entered here by mistake. They were hungry and cold, and they were very wary of us. But after eating some food, it became easier to talk. They lived peacefully with my elves until the beginning of spring, and then left suddenly."

Luther thinks that this is a normal thing. The contact and getting along between elves and humans, many times they just meet by chance in such a casual way, and there is no special plot staged when they leave.

Everything is normal and happens quietly.

"However, after the beginning of spring, outside the fence of my ranch, I can occasionally see some fruits with bite marks." Xiao Song smiled, "I can't eat such astringent fruits."
