I raise elves in Florian

The central states.

Shi Yichen and Frilian continued their journey through the Central Kingdoms.

Following the planned route, they began traveling through various regions of the Central Kingdoms, collecting strange and unusual folk magic, as well as local delicacies and specialties.

A small shop in the woods.

Frilian led Shi Yichen here, because they were short of materials for magic, so they came here to take a look.

If you look closely at their intertwined hands, you can see that they are wearing the same rings, which are actually couple rings.

Shi Yichen wore a men's ring, while Frilian wore a women's ring. These were magical items that Shi Yichen had recently created using alchemy, and he had personally put them on Frilian's finger.

The meaning of the ring is self-evident! How could Frilian not understand Shi Yichen's love for her? She has already accepted Shi Yichen's love for her, but she just needs a little more time.

This little shop, nestled in the forest, is one that Frilian frequents. It contains many magical materials and some strange and unusual items.

Do you have any dark dragon horns here?

Frillie opened the door and went inside, looking at the elderly shopkeeper behind the counter and asking.

"Dark dragon horn? We don't sell those in our shop. Let alone horn, I haven't seen a dark dragon in twenty or thirty years."

The elderly shopkeeper shook his head and said to Frilian, "Because the Demon King has been defeated, the demons have begun to regroup. You can see that the shopkeeper is wearing monk's robes, so he must have been a monk when he was young."

"Oh, I see! This is troublesome, I need it when summoning!"

The lack of a Dark Dragon's horn here has put Frilian in a difficult position. If none of the Central Kingdoms have it, she will have to go to the Northern Kingdoms to look for it.

"Or I'll go to Celia, she definitely has it."

Shi Yichen came to Frilian's side and looked at her. As the oldest elf Ken, it was incredibly easy for Celie to get a dark dragon's horn; she could have as many as she wanted.

"We'll just have to wait and see."

Frillie planned to go look around elsewhere; she really didn't want to go find Celia.

"Oh right! Speaking of the Dark Dragon's horn, I think I found it in the Demon King's castle. I remember giving it to Simmel and asking him to keep it for me."

Frilian suddenly remembered this. When they stormed the Demon King's castle, they did find a dark dragon's horn. Since it was inconvenient to use spatial magic at the time, they gave the dark dragon's horn to Simmel for safekeeping.

"Besides, it's almost time for the half-century meteor shower. We made a promise to watch the meteor shower together, so let's just pick it up on the way!"

Frilian smiled, took Shi Yichen's hand, and looked at her. Over the years she had been with Shi Yichen, Frilian had grown a lot under his guidance and had become a qualified and virtuous wife.

"Let's go then!"

…………

a few days later.

King's capital.

Shi Yichen led Frilian into the capital and began searching for the house from his memories.

"The streets have changed so much since the last time I came!"

Looking at these familiar yet unfamiliar streets, Frilian couldn't help but say that she never imagined the capital city would change so much in just fifty years.

"Of course. With the Demon King being defeated, people's living standards have improved, and their living environment has also improved accordingly."

Shi Yichen looked around at the houses. Most of them were newly built houses that had been demolished and rebuilt. Moreover, the houses were taller and larger than before.

This was all thanks to Simmel for defeating the evil king; people lived in peace and prosperity, and everything seemed so wonderful.

Shi Yichen and Frilian followed the route they remembered. Before Shi Yichen and Frilian left the capital, Simmel had already bought a house in the capital.

His Majesty originally intended to give it to Simmel. Having a brave warrior in the capital would attract more people to come and watch, and would also boost the capital's economy. This was His Majesty's clever plan.

But Simmel insisted on not giving him the house for free, arguing that it was built with great effort and he should pay for it.

That's what Simmel was like.

"I remember it being around here..."

Frillie looked left and right, but couldn't remember anything, though she was definitely in this area.

"I'll go ask!"

"Frilian?"

Just as Shi Yichen was about to ask someone for Simmel's address, he heard an old but powerful voice sound behind him.

Shi Yichen turned his head and saw an old man wearing a blue cloak.

“Simmel…”

Although the voice was very old, Frilian knew it was Simmel at a glance. When Frilian turned around, a short figure emerged from the shadows.

"It's become an old relic!"

Frilian was shocked to see Simmel like this. She never expected Simmel to look so old. She had become shorter, bald, and had grown a beard.

"Isn't that going too far?"

Simmel stared speechlessly at Frilian. Fifty years had passed, but Frilian was still the same Frilian he remembered.

"Apologize!"

Shi Yichen gently patted Frilian's little head.

"I'm sorry!"

Frilian bowed slightly to Simmel.

"Hahaha!"

Simmel couldn't help but laugh as he watched Frilian apologize to him; it had been a long time since he had heard Frilian apologize.

"You've changed so much!"

Frilian watched as Simmel moved closer, and she couldn't understand why Simmel, who was clearly taller than her, had become so short.

"Even as I get older, I'm still handsome, right?"

Although Simmel was old, his vain nature remained unchanged, and the person in front of him was someone he liked.

"It's been fifty years, and you haven't changed at all! I thought I'd never see you again in this lifetime."

Simmel looked at Shi Yichen and Frilian, but Simmel's gaze remained fixed on Frilian.

Time has left no trace on them, unlike him who has aged terribly and can feel that his time is running out.

"We've come to see you! By the way, Simmel, where do you live? Yichen and I have been looking for you for a long time but we can't find it."

Frilian looked at Simmel and said that if they hadn't met Simmel, she and Shi Yichen would have been searching for a while longer!

"You've clearly been here before. It's been so long and the capital has changed. It's normal that you can't find it. Follow me!"

Sinmel shook her head speechlessly and, along with Frilian and Shi Yichen, slowly walked home, leaning on her cane.

She had clearly been there before, but she had forgotten where she was, which made Simmel somewhat sad.
