I raise elves in Florian

Sure enough, there was no body in the grave.

Frillie looked at the empty grave with an expression of utter unsurprising acceptance.

"You must be the Sword Demon, the one who ate these villagers."

Frillie held her wand and looked at the demon woman in front of her. If she wasn't mistaken, this demon woman was the Sword Demon.

"I can only eat if I kill them. I have no other choice but to survive."

Seeing that his identity had been discovered, the Sword Demon stopped pretending and drew the sword he had stolen from the Earl.

Philon and Shutark were already prepared for battle.

"Whoosh~~~"

"Boom~~~"

*Smack!*

In just a few rounds, the Sword Demon was brought to the ground by Frilian's normal attack magic and slowly dissipated into the air.

Shi Yichen came to the grave to pray for the dead. Frilian and Philon also came to Shi Yichen's side and prayed for those who were killed by the demons.

. . . . . .

The Earl's Mansion.

Frilian handed the sword to Count Tah.

"Lady Frilian, thank you so much for helping me retrieve my sword."

Count Tah laughed happily as he held the sword.

"This is the payment I promised you."

Count Tah gestured to the butler beside him to give three magic books to Frillie.

"Well, in that case, we'll be going."

Frillian glanced at the magic book briefly, and after confirming there were no problems, she left the Earl's mansion with Philon and Shutark.

"See? I'm still the best."

Shi Yichen smiled as he looked at the three magic books in Frilian's arms. It was impossible for Frilian to take action with just one magic book.

"Hmm, the magic book I received this time is quite good."

Frilian smiled as she looked at the three magic books in her arms. If it weren't for Shi Yichen, there might only be one magic book left.

“That’s wonderful, Lady Frilian.”

Seeing how happy Frilian was, Philon's mood improved as well, which meant that their efforts had not been in vain.

"Speaking of which, what kind of magic is recorded in the magic book?"

Shutalck was curious because Frilian often collected strange and unusual magic.

"Let me see the magic that turns red apples into green apples, the magic that turns old clothes into new clothes, and the magic that turns long hair into short hair."

Frilian glanced at the three magic books. The spells recorded in them were all different. Although they were all life magic, they were all very practical. According to Frilian's magic level, these three spells were legendary.

"How boring! But they're all very useful, especially the magic that turns old clothes into new ones, so you don't have to worry about your clothes getting old."

Shutark nodded in agreement. Magic was indeed very useful. For example, when they traveled, they would fight, and their clothes would get dirty and old. Now that they had this magic that could turn old clothes into new ones, they didn't have to worry about that anymore.

"It's really practical."

Philon couldn't help but nod. She also had many clothes she liked to wear, but she didn't wear them because she was afraid they would get old. Now, with this magic, she could have new clothes to wear all the time.

"Right? These spells are all very useful."

Frilian smiled as she looked at Philon and Shutark. She also loved wearing new clothes, and many of her clothes were gifts from Shi Yichen, which she treasured dearly. With this magic, she could take good care of the clothes Shi Yichen had given her.

. . . . . .

The northern kingdoms.

Etovis Mountains.

"The weather has warmed up quite a bit lately."

Shi Yichen wiped away non-existent sweat from her forehead and said that since she was already a demigod, she wouldn't sweat all the time. Of course, she would only sweat when doing some strange things.

"Indeed."

Hugh Tarek strongly agreed with what Shi Yichen said.

"This area is a volcanic region, and it's considered one of the warmer places among the northern countries."

Frilian spoke to Shi Yichen and the others, mainly to Philon and Shutark, saying that Shi Yichen had been here before, but had taken a different route.

"So that means we'll be able to soak in the hot springs soon, right?"

Hearing what Frillian said, Philon's mood brightened, after all, she could finally soak in the hot spring she had been longing for.

“That’s right, it seems Philon is really looking forward to it.”

Frillie looked at Philon's adorable appearance and said with a smile.

"We'll reach the next village soon, and then we'll go soak in a hot spring."

Frilian looked at Shi Yichen beside her and said that it had been a long time since she had soaked in a hot spring with Shi Yichen.

"Of course you can."

Shi Yichen smiled and rubbed Frilian's little head. He wished he could do some strange things with Frilian while soaking in the hot spring, but with Philon around, it was impossible.

"Hot springs, hot springs."

Philon was very happy at the thought of soaking in the hot springs soon.

The group of four walked for a while, but still hadn't seen a village.

"Frilian, we've been walking for so long, haven't we reached the village yet?"

Shutark asked Frilian helplessly, "I thought we'd be able to soak in the hot springs soon, but we've been walking for so long and we still haven't seen the village."

"Hmm, I remember it being around here."

Frillie thought back for a moment, and logically speaking, they should be almost there by now after walking for so long.

"Lady Frilian, there's a small house up ahead."

After walking for a while longer, Philon saw a small wooden house in the distance.

"Is there only one room? I have a bad feeling."

When Frilian saw that there was only one small wooden house, she immediately felt uneasy, because there had been many houses when she came here before.

"Let's go and find out what's going on."

Shi Yichen probably already guessed what had happened, and could only say it was a pity.

"Are you talking about the village? It's so nostalgic. After the hot springs dried up, adventurers stopped coming, so the village was abandoned thirty years ago."

The owner of the house told Frilian and her family that the house had been abandoned thirty years ago, and only their family still lived there.

"What a pity, Lady Frilian."

Philon looked at Frilian with a regretful expression. She had thought she would be able to soak in the hot spring, but it turned out that she had already dried up.

"Human villages can disappear in the blink of an eye."

Frillie couldn't help but sigh; she had wanted to soak in the hot springs with Shi Yichen.

"It's alright, if there aren't any here, there will definitely be some in the next town."

Shi Yichen reached out and ruffled the little heads of Frilian and Philon.

"It seems we'll have to be patient until we reach the next town."

Frillie sighed and said, "That's all we can do."
