I raise elves in Florian

"The number of troops stationed in the village will not be too large. Even so, these few are the elite of the elite, and even too extravagant for this village."

This man is their captain; he is a hero who has protected this village since ancient times.

Looking at the corpses of the people in front of him, Gainau said to Shi Yichen and the others, "To be able to kill so many members of the elite knight order, you can imagine how strong the demons who destroyed the village are."

“This is astonishing. This person is far stronger than Shutark. Let me check the cause of death…”

Frilian looked at the corpse of the knight captain on the ground. She could sense that this person was much stronger than Shutark. He could be considered a top-ranking warrior. It was a pity that such a powerful person had died in this village.

"According to the results of the death detection magic, their cause of death was a sword strike, and all of them died on the spot."

Mettoda told Frillie, who was preparing to examine the cause of death, that she had already done the examination before Shi Yichen and the others arrived.

"Those remaining in the village are all weak demons, not even worthy of being their opponents. The demons who actually attacked the village are probably still alive. However, fortunately, you have arrived, and this mission may end sooner."

Gennau turned to look at Frilian and the others and said that although Shi Yichen was here, he most likely wouldn't take action, because this was a task for the three first-level mages, not for Shi Yichen.

But when Shi Yichen is around, they don't need to worry too much about other things. If the demons are too powerful, Shi Yichen won't watch them die. If even three level-one mages can't defeat them, then Shi Yichen will have to take action.

Besides, this mission was originally meant to test these first-level mages. If Shi Yichen is in charge, then what are they supposed to test?

"I see! It seems there's something we can do to help. Let's teach these demons a lesson about the terrors of humans."

Frilian smiled and looked at Ganau, saying, "Let the demons see their power and let them know that humans are not to be killed at will."

"However, before that, we need to analyze how that demon killed all the knights in an instant."

Metode looked at Frilian and the others and said, "After all, it is a powerful and unknown demon. It is better to learn a little about it before the battle. The more they know, the greater their chances of winning."

Then the group started tinkering and recording all the information about the demons. The knights were a good source of information because they were the first to confront the demons.

. . . . . .

night.

"First like this, then like this, is this how you leave behind a slash?"

Metode held a wooden sword and practiced the attack methods of the demons in the room, but she always felt that the attack methods were awkward.

"This set of movements looks a bit unnatural."

Watching Metodai's gestures, Hughtark said that although Hughtark wasn't very strong, he was theoretically competent. After all, he was a warrior and had a good understanding of weapon attack techniques.

"Judging from the knights' injuries, that's the case..."

Metole sheathed her wooden sword, though the movement was very unnatural, but the wounds on the knights' bodies were displayed in this way, so this was not something a sword could do.

"The enemy might be using a dual-wielding style."

Shutark was also pondering this question; clearly, a knife couldn't have caused such a wound.

"In that case..."

Metold was also thinking about what Shutark had said about dual-wielding. Although it looked like the knights had used dual-wielding to slash twice, it felt like the wounds on their bodies were caused by a single blow.

"It seems they've got a lead."

Shi Yichen watched Metodai and Shutark's discussion, and it seemed they were getting closer to the truth.

"This way we'll know information about the demon race."

Philen had also been keeping an eye on Shuttalke, since Metodai was a mature, beautiful, elegant, and intellectual older sister, so Philen had been paying attention to her all along.

“Generally speaking, demons can only conceal their magic for a short time, so they should already be outside our range of magic detection.”

Frilian looked at the map on the table and said that Shi Yichen and she had both explored the vicinity of the village but had not found any trace of the demons, so it seemed that they had already left.

"In other words, the area around this village is safe."

Philon looked at Hugh Tarker and Metole and said.

“Genau told me about all the places in the area that could be demon strongholds, so let’s investigate along that line.”

Frilian pointed to the location on the map. Since this was Genau's hometown, he knew the room well and knew where the demons might be hiding. If they searched based on these locations, they might be able to find the demons.

"But before that, let's have dinner first."

Shi Yichen put everything on the table aside, waved his hand, and the next second several food boxes appeared on the table, each containing a portion of delicious food, still emitting a steaming aroma.

"Shutark, Metoldai, stop studying for now, it's time to eat."

Shi Yichen turned to look at Hugh Tarker and Metole and said.

"coming."

Shutark put down what he was holding and walked over to Philon.

"Yes, Lord Shi Yichen."

Mettodai smiled and said to Shi Yichen, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.

"Where is Ganau?"

Frilian looked at Mettoday and asked.

"He should still be at the church. I'll take Mr. Gennau's dinner there."

Metto said to Frilian, and prepared to pick up the food box and head towards the church.

"I'll take it!"

Hugh Tarker took two meals and went out before Metoley.

"Thank you, Mr. Shutark."

Metode thanked Shutark, saying that she preferred staying with Shi Yichen and the others to Gainau—three lovely girls, hehehe!

"Have you reached a conclusion? Is the enemy using dual swords?"

Frilian looked at Mettoday and asked.

"No, if I'm not mistaken, the enemy is using a four-sword style."

Mettode told Frilian that, according to the analysis, the enemy was a demon who wielded four swords and was quite powerful.

"Four-sword style, huh... looks a bit troublesome."

"Frilian said, enjoying her dinner."

"However, it's still a bit unbelievable to be able to eat such delicious food on the northern plateau."

Mettodai smiled as she looked at Shi Yichen, thinking, "As expected of Lord Shi Yichen."
