I raise elves in Florian

“Mr. Gennau… please leave this injured person here.”

Metode looked at the person Ganau was carrying; he was clearly dead, but she couldn't say it directly, so she could only say he was injured.

"The wounded? Don't offer such comforting words, Metole. The guy behind me is already dead, isn't he?"

"Ganau glanced at Metodai and said."

"When I found him, I knew he was beyond saving. He smelled awful, didn't he? The wound in his abdomen had already started to rot. In his condition, death was the only outcome. Even so, he still clung to me tightly."

Gainau put down the person behind him. The bodies of other villagers were also on the ground, all of whom he had neatly placed there. They were all familiar faces.

. . . . . .

Not far from the village.

"Frilian, there are demonic signs in the village ahead."

Shi Yichen said to Frilian and the others.

"Disappeared?"

The demonic aura that was just present has now disappeared, which proves that the demons in the village have been killed.

"So there are other people in the village?"

Frilian looked at Shi Yichen and asked.

"That's what I mean. The magical aura seems familiar. Let me see who it is."

Shi Yichen activated his magical perception and discovered that the two people in the village not far away were actually Ganau and Metode.

"It's alright, let's keep going. It's Gennau and Metode."

Shi Yichen smiled and said to Frilian and the others, "They are all acquaintances."

"Oh! The examiners from the first round and that mature and beautiful older sister, right?"

Frilian thought for a moment and then spoke to Shi Yichen.

"Yes, it's them."

Shi Yichen took Frilian's hand and walked into the village.

"Then this bird must also belong to Mr. Ganau."

Philon pointed to the bird that was on guard not far away; she had almost shot it down.

"Judging from the magical aura, it is definitely his."

Shi Yichen nodded and said to Philon.

"Luckily, they didn't make a move."

Philon breathed a sigh of relief.

The group of four walked towards the village.

. . . . . .

Inside the church.

"This guy is the bakery owner's son. We used to play together a lot when we were kids. After the owner passed away, he inherited the bakery. But the bread he bakes is terrible. Everyone's here, so he probably won't feel lonely."

Gainau looked at the corpses of the villagers in the church and said that he was still too late; the entire village had been destroyed by the demons.

"Why are these guys the ones being attacked instead of us by the demons? These guys are completely different from us, who live by fighting. Even if someone dies, it should be us who choose to fight, not them."

Gainau stared at the corpses scattered on the ground, lost in thought.

“Mr. Ganau, by the time the Northern Branch received the request for help from the Knights of Norm stationed here, the village had already been destroyed. It is not Mr. Ganau’s fault.”

Metodai looked at Ganau and said that she could sense Ganau's current mood.

“Mr. Gennau, someone has arrived, and it seems to be an acquaintance.”

Metold said to Guenau.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Open the door, it's me."

Shi Yichen's voice came from outside the door.

"At that time, there was Lord Yichen, Lady Frilian, Miss Philen, and a warrior named Shutark."

After sensing the person outside the door, Metold spoke to Ganau.

"Click!"

Gainau opened the church door and let Shi Yichen and the others in.

"Are you here because you received a mission to subdue this place?"

Shi Yichen looked at Gennau and Metodai and asked, "If nothing unexpected happens, they and Philen have taken on the same mission."

“That’s right. Lady Celia personally entrusted Mr. Ganau with this task, and I am here to assist Mr. Ganau.”

Metodai spoke respectfully to Shi Yichen.

"It seems to be the same mission as Philon's."

"Frilian said to Shi Yichen."

"I see. So Miss Philen also accepted this mission."

Metole immediately connected all the dots.

"Since we happen to be in the northern plateau, we came to take a look."

Frilian said to Metold.

"So, what's the situation now?"

Frilian looked at Mettodai and asked, but seeing the tragic scene and Shi Yichen's earlier statement that the demonic aura had disappeared, it was certain that they were all too late.

. . . . . .

In another room.

Are you praying?

"Genau asked, looking at Shutark with his hands clasped together."

"Can't we do that?"

Shutark looked at Gennau and asked.

"No, of course."

Gennau paused for a moment, then nodded.

"My hometown was also destroyed by the demons."

Seeing the devastation in the village reminded Shutark of his hometown.

"I see."

Gainau didn't expect that Shutark was just like him.

"Demons feed on humans, right? Then why do they leave behind so many corpses? My village is the same."

Shutark looked at Gennau and asked. Although he had also come into contact with many demons, he still did not understand why the demons were doing this.

"Who knows? Even if the demons are full, they won't stop killing. Nobody knows why."

Gainau also said he didn't know, maybe he just didn't want to eat it?

. . . . . .

outside.

"I see. Just as Lord Shi Yichen said, the two of you defeated all the demons in the village."

Philon nodded in agreement with what Metodai said. Just as Shi Yichen had said, the entire village was now free of any trace of demons.

"It seems we are still too late. We have tried our best to get here in the shortest possible time."

Frillie said with some regret that if they had come any faster, the outcome might have been different.

"However, Mr. Gainau, there is still one thing you don't understand. Please come with me."

Metodai spoke to Shi Yichen and the others, and then led them into the inner room.

"These are the Knights of Norm stationed here."

Gainau pointed to the several uniformed corpses on the ground and said to Shi Yichen and the others.

"The Knights of Norm?"

The name Shuttalk sounded familiar, like I'd heard it somewhere before.

"You've seen them in the Norm Merchant Guild's territory, haven't you? They are the guild's military force."

Frilian explained to Hughtark, "It seems like this will enhance Hughtark's knowledge. Let Philen take on this arduous and glorious task. I'm sure Philen will agree."

"There are only a few of them."

Philon looked at the Norm Knights lying on the ground.
