I raise elves in Florian

Twenty years after the death of the hero Shinmi.

Central States

The Holy City, outside Strahl.

Two figures slowly walked over from a distance.

"Is that the same tree we just saw?"

Frilian looked at the big tree in front of her and said in a puzzled tone.

"I told you that we should have gone to the other intersection at that fork in the road."

Shi Yichen said to Frilian, "Frilian insisted on trusting her own intuition, and then she took the wrong path and ended up back here in a circle."

"I always get lost when I come to this forest... What kind of place is this?!"

Frillie scratched her head sheepishly. If only she had listened to Shi Yichen, she wouldn't have had to walk so far.

Are you looking for something?

A small, delicate figure appeared behind Shi Yichen and Frilian, asking them in her childish voice.

Turning my head, I saw a little girl of about seven or eight years old, carrying a basket of mushrooms. She was wearing a black coat and a white shirt, with short, purple hair that reached her shoulders, and a red ribbon in her hair. The little girl also had purple eyes, and her chubby face was very cute.

What's wrong with you?

The little girl continued to ask.

Shi Yichen looked at the little girl who appeared behind her; she had only just noticed the little girl herself.

You can tell that the little girl has magic within her, but she conceals it very well; you can't tell unless you look closely.

Just by looking at her, you can tell that this little girl has great magical talent; she can still achieve such a high level of existence without formal training.

Wow, her magical talent is absolutely incredible! If I introduced her to Celia, she would be thrilled.

"We're looking for the home of a man named Haita."

Frillie also noticed the difference in the little girl in front of her.

"So, you're guests! Please follow me."

The little girl turned around and led Shi Yichen and Frilian to Haita's house.

"Mr. Haita, a guest is looking for you."

The little girl knocked on the door and spoke to Haita inside the room.

"Crack!"

The door was opened.

"Frilian, Shi Yichen welcomes you."

Haita opened the door and saw two old acquaintances. He quickly invited them into the house.

"You're still alive! You drunkard monk!"

Frillie looked at the elderly Haita, who seemed to be in good health!

"Hahaha! Dying a dashing death isn't easy!"

As Haita added firewood to the fireplace, he laughed and said, "Death is possible, but not now. If I die now, what will happen to that little girl?" But after seeing Shi Yichen and Frilian, he already had a solution.

"I see you have a minor internal problem; would you like me to treat it for you?"

Shi Yichen looked at Haita's aged body. On the surface, he seemed fine, but in fact, Haita's health had been compromised since he was young.

"Then please."

He was old and could no longer use his magic. He was constantly tormented by illness, but he persevered through it all for the sake of the little girl he had taken in.

Shi Yichen reached out and placed his hand on Haita's body. A green light shone, and Haita felt much more relaxed, and his body no longer ached.

The little girl witnessed this entire scene, but when she saw Shi Yichen looking at her, she quickly looked away.

Shi Yichen chuckled lightly, got up, and walked over.

"May I have your name?."

"Just call me Philon."

"Narphren, do you need my help?"

Shi Yichen watched the little girl who was busy boiling water and making tea.

“Lord Shi Yichen, you are a guest, how can you let a guest do these things?”

Little Philon shook his head, refusing Shi Yichen's help.

"Although we are guests, we are more like Haita's partners! Haita must have told you about his past!"

"Yes, Mr. Haita did mention some things."

In the living room.

"Oh, right! I bought some wine to offer at your grave. Would you like a glass?"

Previously, Haita had said that whenever he passed through the Holy City, he would offer a few bottles of wine at his grave. So Frilian brought the wine, but when she arrived, she found that Haita wasn't going to die anytime soon!

"I quit drinking a long time ago."

Haita shook his head.

"Really? I don't think the goddess will forgive you now that you're trying to play innocent."

Seeing this, Frillie sat back down in her chair and jokingly said to Haita.

"Hahaha!"

Haita sat down in the chair opposite Frilian and smiled at her.

At this moment, Philen came out of the kitchen and placed the brewed tea in front of Frilian and Haita.

“Arigato”.

Haita nodded to Philon.

"That child?"

Frilian looked at Haita.

"Her name was Philon, and she lost her parents in the war in the southern countries."

Haita watched the petite figure heading towards the kitchen and spoke to Frilian.

"This isn't like something you would do. You're not the kind of person who'd help others, are you? You're not Simmel."

Frilian sipped the hot tea that Philon had brought her, looking at Haita with a hint of surprise. She hadn't expected Haita to do such a thing; in her mind, only Simmel would do something like that.

In the kitchen.

While Philon went to get tea, Shi Yichen took out a lot of food from his magical space and was preparing it.

Is there anything I can do for you?

Xiao Feilun approached Shi Yichen with a tray of tea in her hands and asked.

"If you can, could you help me process those vegetables over there?"

Shi Yichen pointed to the vegetables in the basket.

"Ok."

Philon put down the tray in his hand, picked up the knife on the table, and began to process the vegetables.

Despite her young age, Philon is more skilled at handling ingredients than Frilian, probably because Philon cooks often!

"Um, could you teach me the magic I just used on Mr. Haita?"

Philen whispered to Shi Yichen, because she wanted to learn the healing magic so that she could heal Mr. Haita if he got sick.

"Of course you can, but you have to master the basics first. Without a good foundation, it's useless to learn any magic."

As Shi Yichen prepared the food, she spoke to Fei Lun, understanding Fei Lun's good intentions. Since Fei Lun wanted to learn, she would definitely teach her.

"Then can you teach me how to practice magic? Mr. Haita is a monk and cannot guide me in practicing magic."

Little Philon lowered her head and said shyly, knowing that her request was abrupt, but she wanted to try for Mr. Haita.

"Philan, you should know from Haita that I am a warrior!"

Shi Yichen rubbed Philon's little head. That's right, when she traveled with Simmel and the others, she fought as a warrior, at most casting some minor spells, but never casting combat magic.

Therefore, Simmel and the others did not know that she was also a mage, a mage even more powerful than Frilian.

"Although Mr. Haita said you are a powerful warrior, I can sense a very strong magic power from you, even stronger than that of Lady Frilian."
