I raise elves in Florian

"Okay, I understand. Come back soon."

Frilian sat on the table, looking at the spellbook, and responded to Shi Yichen.

After tidying up the kitchen, Shi Yichen went out. Frilian watched Shi Yichen leave and felt that she should do something for him, since the family had always relied on him.

Although Frilian would occasionally go into the forest to collect herbs, make them into potions, and sell them in the city for money, the money she earned was only enough to cover her own expenses.

There was money that could have been saved, because Frilian loves to buy things indiscriminately, some of which she doesn't actually need, but she just keeps buying and buying and buying until she runs out of money.

Frillie thought about how hard Shi Yichen worked to earn money every time he went out, and how she was wasting money at home. She felt very sorry for Shi Yichen.

So she thought she would gather more herbs to exchange for money, which would also help Shi Yichen. Without hesitation, Frilian put away her magic book, picked up the basket placed at the door, and went out.

Frilian had no idea how rich Shi Yichen really was. With Shi Yichen's immense strength, he could easily obtain a lot of gold and silver treasures by conquering just a few mazes, but Shi Yichen felt that having too much money was useless.

The money in her magical space alone is enough for her and Frilian to live on for thousands of years, so she no longer needs to rack her brains to make money.

Frilian prefers magic books to money. Some dungeons may contain one or two magic books, while others are filled with gold and there isn't a trace of a magic book.

There are several mountains of gold and silver treasures in Shi Yichen's magical space, but in Shi Yichen's opinion, these gold and silver treasures are not as practical as a few magic books.

It's only needed when buying things, nothing more, nothing else.

Shi Yichen's favorite thing was bringing back magic books for Frilian. Frilian's happy expression was really cute.

Shortly after Shi Yichen left, three figures arrived at the mountain.

Two humans and one dwarf.

The three of them had inquired with the people in the town below and learned that there was a long-lived mage living in this mountain, so they came to take a look.

It's not that the villagers haven't seen Shi Yichen; it's that Shi Yichen's trips to distant places take anywhere from ten to thirty-four years, and he doesn't appear often, so not many people have seen him.

At that moment, Frilian was gathering herbs in the forest and had no idea that someone had come to the mountain, and specifically to find her.

Shi Yichen was lucky enough to encounter a carriage on the road that was about to enter the city. He gave the carriage some money and they arrived in the city together. He started to wander around, buying this and that, completely unaware that his home was about to be raided.

…………

the other side

Following the villagers' instructions, the three of them went up the mountain and began searching for the long-lived magician the villagers had mentioned. They eventually found Frillian gathering herbs on the mountaintop.

“My name is Simmel, this is the monk Haita, and this is the warrior Azer.”

The blue-haired man introduced the three of them to Frillie.

"We've heard that there's a long-lived magician in this forest. Is that you?"

The leading man looked at Frilian, who was picking herbs, and asked her a question, his tone full of tenderness, because the elf in front of him was the same elf he had met when he was a child.

Simmel got lost in the forest while gathering herbs and couldn't find his way back to the village. It was getting dark, and Simmel was very young and scared, thinking he would never be able to get back. It was during his most helpless moment that he was at his most vulnerable.

He happened to encounter Frilian, who was gathering herbs. Frilian pointed him in the direction of the village, and whether on a whim or not, Frilian cast a flower field spell on him, hoping to comfort Simmel's fear.

Frilian's actions made Simmel realize for the first time how wonderful magic was, and Simmel could never forget Frilian from then on.

"Although I have lived for a long time, I have just been living a leisurely life. I am not outstanding, because there are people who are more outstanding than me."

Frilian picked herbs and spoke casually, but what she said was true. However, she was comparing herself to Shi Yichen, and indeed she was not good enough in front of Shi Yichen, because Shi Yichen was now stronger than her.

"What do you think, Haita?"

Warrior Aize looked at the monk-like man beside him.

"Her magic power is about one-fifth of mine, so-so!"

The monk, known as Haita, sensed Frilian's magic and quickly gave his answer.

"This guy is infuriating."

Frilian stared speechlessly at the monk Haita. How could he say such a thing in front of others? It was incredibly rude of him, considering how powerful he was.

"Please go back! It wouldn't be good if she misunderstood when she came back. You don't need ordinary magicians, do you?"

Frillie waved to Simmel and the other two, telling them to leave. She didn't know if a fight would break out when Shi Yichen arrived.

"No, you are more powerful than any mage I have ever seen."

Simmel looked at Frilian tenderly; his intuition told him that the elf before him was very strong.

Shi Yichen, who had already purchased the supplies, was on her way back. At this time, she was unaware that someone was planning to raid her home while she was away.

Why do you think that?

Frilian looked at Simmel with some curiosity, because Simmel's own magical power was so naturally limited that it was generally impossible for ordinary people to see through it.

"Just go with your gut feeling!"

Simmel shrugged and said, "After all, feelings are something that can't be explained."

"That's because you've never seen a truly powerful mage."

Frilian recalled how, hundreds of years ago, Shi Yichen led her to the front lines of the northern kingdoms to fight against the Demon King's army. Shi Yichen annihilated hundreds of thousands of Demon King soldiers with a single blow, but then ran away, afraid that others would find them.

Because their teacher had said to keep a low profile before killing the Demon King, Frilian and Shi Yichen always kept this in mind. However, what Frilian didn't know was that Shi Yichen had already defeated the Demon King.

Having returned to the foot of the mountain, Shi Yichen sensed the arrival of humans, who were with Frilian. Although he didn't know what they were there for, Shi Yichen used flight magic to fly over at an extremely fast speed.

"Whoosh! Bang!"

Shi Yichen crashed heavily to the ground, cracking the ground beneath him.

What are you going to do to my elf?

The moment Shi Yichen landed on the ground, he immediately summoned the Holy Sword. Shi Yichen's original sword had been upgraded to a very high level.

The entire sword turned golden because it contained the power of holy light. Therefore, it was renamed the Holy Sword.

The Holy Sword of today is not the same sword it used to be; it is now comparable to the true sword of a hero.

The sudden turn of events put Simmel and Aize on alert, and they both drew their weapons.

After the smoke cleared, they saw a girl holding a sword, standing guard behind Frillie, watching them warily.

An extremely dangerous aura emanated from the girl, making Simmel and the other two feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Simmel unconsciously gripped the hilt of her sword, and Aize's hand holding the axe began to tremble.

Only Haita looked at Shi Yichen with great surprise, because he could sense the aura of a goddess from the girl in front of him.

Because he was a monk, all the magic he came into contact with was created by the goddess, so he was very familiar with this aura. The aura emanating from the girl in front of him was like that of a goddess descending to earth.

"I knew it."

Judging from their posture, Frillie knew that Shi Yichen had misunderstood Simmel and the other two, and a fight was about to break out.

"Stop!"

Haita blocked Simmel and Aize's path, leaving them both stunned.
