What did you do with the dice?

Come to think of it, this guy had accepted everything silently before, but suddenly he withdrew everything silently. According to the custom of the elves that you can only give a bracelet to one person at a time, it is hard not to suspect that he is deliberately disgusting people.

After this incident, he became famous throughout the Elf Forest. Hundreds of elves protested together, forcing Queen Suarez to come forward and ask him to apologize.

But the next day, Elifus left a note at the head of his bed and ran out of the forest.

"I make no apologies to the childless elves."

Fortunately, Ailila was wise enough to burn the note, otherwise it would have been the "Flower Squad" that came looking for him.

After that, he kept repeating the cycle of "going out", "coming back", and "going out", but most of the time he was in the forest with Alila, taking care of Alija and Shana.

And although he has a very bad reputation, he is still popular after all, not to mention that the atmosphere in the Elf Forest is already a mess. Despite his behavior, he still has a lot of "fans" in private.

So even though Alice's grades in magic were very poor, she was still able to graduate successfully thanks to her father's connections, and the examiner turned a blind eye and allowed her to successfully join the ranger team.

What happened next was ten years ago, when the El Empire declared war on humans and the United Kingdom of Dwarves, and there was unrest everywhere.

Her father was the kind of person who was always in contact with the outside world, and he felt that it was too late for his Elf Forest to vote on the plan that Huafalin wanted to initiate.

To be honest, he is actually a supporter of Huafalin, but the problem is that he is too aware of the mobility of this group of elves to bother to support them personally - by the time he goes out and kills a group of people, the voting in the Elf Forest may just have entered the vote counting stage.

Alas, it’s so boring to stay with these elf women all day long. How can I get anything done?

I definitely can't rely on the elves, so why don't I lead the army myself?

Just as Huafalin also mentioned that the demon seal was loose, he used the excuse of repairing the seal to leave the Forest of Elves and ran to the El Empire, which believed in respecting the strong and, most importantly, was also very efficient in its actions, to see if there was any place for him to use his abilities.

By the way, I can also start to realize my "dream of building an army" which I have never succeeded in my life.

Just as Elifus thought, after going through a series of challenges, the orcs of the El Empire reluctantly admitted that this long-eared elf was indeed brave and resourceful, and agreed to let him settle here.

But rules are dead, and gods are alive. People like Elifus who carry the faith of Elune preach in the orc territory, saying "don't let the battle stop". When the matter is done, his settlement score will be given to Elune.

It's not appropriate to work for Elune next door on your own territory and using your own rules.

So the god of war, Campas, used a trick and made him go into the cave to lead the rat people.

I heard that you like novelty and want to lead troops?

Coincidentally, the underground of our El Empire is full of ownerless soldiers, and their number is very large. They are in a cycle of birth and death every day, which is guaranteed to give you a fresh and refreshing experience!

The God of War felt that an elf who was not even chosen by God would not react to being with the ratmen. He might even feel physically disgusted by those dirty and smelly ratmen as soon as he got out of the cave, and then feel that he should not be treated like this, and choose to leave angrily.

After all, the elves are very delicate and arrogant. How could they possibly accept such low-level cannon fodder creatures?

Elifus: Holy shit, there are so many lakes underground where I can fish? And there are even so many people who will obey my orders?

It's just that her living habits are a little bit bad. I've long been fed up with my housekeeper, Elila, who lives a routine life every day and nags me if I don't water the plants or fold the quilts for a day.

These furry dwarves are so casual, which is exactly what I want. They are so accepting!

So Elifus relied on force to become the new leader of this group of rats whose IQ was not high to begin with, and led the first group of followers to fight in all directions in the underground caves. He was invincible like a dimensionality reduction attack.

Soon, within just two years, he brought all the nearby rat tribes under his command and made him the "Long-Eared King".

Later, he discovered that the ratmen had suffered too many non-combat casualties, mainly because they ran out of food and began to eat the corpses of their companions.

This is not good. It is such a waste to eat corpses.

So he taught his agricultural knowledge to the smarter ratmen, and then divided the area into agricultural and living areas, letting the ratmen divide the work to maintain the operation of the system. Every time War Fox came to recruit ratmen, he would divide the pre-planned "extra population that would not affect the operation of the system" out.

Over time, he unified more than half of the ratmen in the Aiel Empire, and the sufficient food supply increased its population several times. He directly used the tactic of endless cannon fodder to crush the neighboring United Kingdom.

During the Demon War, he led the rat army and successfully used his talent for digging holes to launch a surprise attack on the demons in the forest from underground, cutting off the enemy's back row. He also set up traps everywhere to divide the ground troops, putting the demon army with no experience in tunnel warfare into a very passive position.

You asked Elifus what he felt?

Irivus just felt great.

Compared to feeding chickens, watering flowers and taking care of children at home, now you can pick up weapons and fight, and put them down to go fishing and farm. There are no worries and no step-by-step plans. This is the wonderful life that a male pure-blooded elf should truly enjoy!

It's a pity that I can't bring those half-blood old friends to command the army to fight in all directions. I don't know whether the meeting in the Elf Forest has ended. I don't know whether Huafalin, who is full of ambitions but has not taken any action in decades, has won the argument.

As for the demon invasion, he was not too worried because he believed that the Elf Forest was protected by Elune's mist array and must be very safe.

Moreover, these demons didn't seem to be that strong, about the same as when he went to hell. They couldn't even use fire spells to restrain his own, and they were still using wood-attribute magic in front of him. This was just a waste of time, which was ridiculous. It seemed that their IQ was not as good as that of the ratmen.

However, there are demons everywhere outside now, and it would be quite dangerous to encounter a high-level one. He also hopes that this group of elves are still in the quarreling stage. It would be best if they can come out after the quarrel and find that the world is already at peace.

As for Alice, I hope she can successfully graduate from the mage mentor by the time I return.

So Elune surpassed Light and took second place, which was actually largely due to Erivus, because the gods' score settlement mechanism is not a rigid "fact-based" one, but is based on "if Erivus does not exist, how will the situation change?" and the difference between the two is used to settle the score.

Therefore, the strength of the ratmen and the number of demons they killed under the command of this "Long-Eared King" mostly fell on Elune.

Alice put her hands on her hips and scolded Elifus: "You've been out there for so long, don't you know that our family is gone!"

Elifus was spitting in Alice's face, but he didn't dare to talk back. He just drooped his ears and angrily changed his target of attack: "What, Suarez finally went crazy because of her inability to have children and drove all the elves out of the forest?"

Shana whispered, "She's dead!"

Elifus suddenly became serious: "How is it possible? She is invincible in the World Tree. Who can kill her?"

"He's not completely dead, he's just become a tree spirit."

Rusalka asked Sanita, the perfect narrator, to tell Elifus everything that had happened in the Elf Forest.

The latter's expression went from shock to numbness, and finally to deep remorse. He hugged Alice and said, "I'm sorry, Dad. It's my fault. I thought the forest was absolutely safe, so I took the initiative to come out. That's why you encountered such a terrible thing."

Alice pushed him away a little embarrassedly: "Not really, beating demons is pretty fun."

A smile immediately broke out on Elifus's face. "It's pretty cool, isn't it, Alice? When you graduate, I'll take you to hell. It's really exciting there."

Last time he went in with 30 elves, but only 17 came back, which was really exciting.

"I'll secretly teach you fire magic there, the kind that makes exploding fireballs. Don't tell anyone else."

"So is there a 'burning explosion'?"

"Some daughters, Dad will make sure they know everything. I'll teach you whatever you want to learn."

"Okay then, I forgive you. When are we leaving?"

Rusalka was stunned: "Ah? These two poets?"

Sanitta now suspects that the small number of elves is not because they could not be born in the past, but because there were too many ancient elves who were modeled after Alice's father and brought their own deaths upon themselves.

Chapter 530 Fellow travelers

Because he unexpectedly found his lost father here, he had to strike hard at this old man who abandoned his wife and daughter. He had to escort him back to the Elf Forest himself first, so that he wouldn't say he was going home but then see something on the way and run away.

Even though Alijie and Shana were a little reluctant, they had no choice but to leave the team and return.

Thus, in this sudden reunion between father and daughter, the legend of the long-eared king came to an end.

The rat people didn't seem to be reluctant to let him go. They just gave him some food to hang up and then shouted "Goodbye" along the way.

However, it is much better than the "welcome" he almost ignored at the beginning. At least the rat people now have a certain living framework. If it can continue for a long time, perhaps one day the rat people will be able to develop naturally through the survival of the fittest.

Well, the premise is that the race created by God can also enter the Darwin tree.

Or perhaps, in a dozen years, the rat people here will forget this "Long-Eared King" because of the change of generations, or perhaps this legend will be passed down forever by a wise man and descendants of the rat people in an inadvertent place. Who knows?

Before leaving, Elifus found Sanita alone and had a private chat with him that had nothing to do with the identities of father-in-law and son-in-law, but was purely from a man's perspective.

Elifus took a bite of the Lubricating Mushroom. This cave mushroom was very delicious when eaten raw, but once cooked, it lost its slimy texture and became unpalatable. "What on earth do you like about my daughter and my adopted daughter? How desperate are you to even think of marrying two elves?"

Sanita: "Well, because I feel this option wouldn't be a bad one. I prefer the conservative gains in the short term to the unknown."

Elifus sighed. "Indeed, that's what I thought when I was with Alila. We met by a lake. I would sit there fishing early every morning, and she would persistently bring me food. She was very quiet and wouldn't scare the fish."

"Even though she doesn't know how to fish, I was actually thinking that a predictable life like this wouldn't be bad. At least with Ailila, I'd have three meals a day more than when I was alone, so I agreed."

Rusalka loved this kind of gossip. Once it started, regardless of whether the group welcomed him or not, he would definitely join in and comment: "Did you regret it later?"

Elifus didn't mind Rusalka's uninvited visit. He thought for a moment and replied, "I don't regret it. After all, time can't be turned back, and the possibilities we imagine are just possibilities. Maybe things will be worse after changes. At least when Alila and I are together, I don't think anything is wrong."

After saying so much, you still feel a little regretful, right?

"The main thing is that after I got together with her, she wanted me to go home every day, especially when we were building the house and furniture. She insisted on raising some poultry and other things, which increased my daily workload. Sometimes I just wanted to take a few days off, but when she came to bring me food, she would throw stones into the river and hit my fish. That's what made me most angry."

Rusalka commented: "Don't trust the opposition party. They will be the same even after they come to power."

Irivus seemed to understand this and asked, "Are you married?"

"Yes, the white one next to it."

Irivus's standards for judging the opposite sex seemed a bit strange: "That's not bad. I heard that Filins are good at catching fish. And it is said that the Filin people are good at wild fishing. It will be easy for you to take her around."

Ah, so wild is a noun?

Although Rusalka felt that there were problems with his grammar, since it seemed completely understandable, the language functioned properly and there was no problem.

Rusalka: "Well, it's not so good for her to follow me all the time."

It was indeed not good and very tiring. Rusalka filled up 80% of her free time along the way.

Irivus showed a jealous and contemptuous look: "I don't understand. What's there to be dissatisfied about? Is there anything worse than asking you to stay at home all the time to feed the chickens and garden?"

Therefore, people do not share the same joys and sorrows. If Rushaka had no worries about food and clothing and had something to do, she would have wanted to stay at home all her life.

The main reason is that he has experienced the electronic information age on Earth, and there are no mobile phones, computers, etc. in the permanent plane, so the only entertainment activity for him is fighting. Otherwise, why would he always run out? Is it because he likes traveling (flying around the world), baking (making military rations in the wild), and yoga (fighting high-intensity battles with the enemy)?

Since Irivus has never played with a mobile phone or computer, can't he play hopscotch, marbles, or flip cigarette butts?

Sanita interrupted the fruitless debate between the two: "Overall, I would like to believe that this choice will make my future better, and I will not regret it."

After hearing this, Elifus immediately agreed with a resounding voice: "That's good! I have no objection!"

Sanitta: "And I taught Alice fire magic, and she has a good understanding of it."

Elifus was in awe of the Sanita Tower. "Oh my god, you're such a brave human! Aren't you afraid she'll blow up your house?"

Rusalka questioned, "Didn't you just say you wanted to teach her?"

"Yeah, that's why I said I'll teach her after I take her to hell. You can blow up anything in hell."

Rusalka: (Fuck, this elf guy has brains!)

Sanita: (I feel like this guy is truly a freak among the elves.)

But it could also be that they had only come into contact with 1.5 male elves (Michelle counted as half) and didn't know much about them. If all male elves were the same as Elifus, then escaping from the forest was probably the inevitable trend.

In short, Elifus shook hands with the two of them, and finally wished them a safe journey. He did not say anything to Sanita like "I entrust my daughter to you", but instead replaced it with a very suggestive elf-like sentence like "Take care of yourself and try to live longer." Then he followed the two elves who were already getting impatient and left here and set out on the way home.

----

The convoy took the edible underground plants and continued on their journey. After about a week, they finally arrived at the capital of the El Empire, Lionheart City.

From the outside, the city looks like a huge arena, with walls made of huge stones, brown and mottled blood stains left by the sun, as well as broken edges and green plants left by the demons' attacks. Many slaves from Doug and Wolf's clan are repairing it.

Although the city wall looks scarred, it exudes a primitive, wild and murderous aura everywhere.

When the team arrived at the gate, a Fox Clan witch with three tails and a white mask came to greet them: "Everyone, please follow us. Lord Yu Shang has been waiting for you for a long time."

She gestured to the Taigo tribe members nearby to form lines on both sides of the convoy to provide a "close and strict" escort. As she walked along the cobblestone main road, she slowly explained the rules of the area to everyone:

"Don't fall behind, and don't leave without permission. Humans other than Rusalka and the Archmage are not welcome here. It's only because of Lord Yushang's orders that we've specially cleared this main road for your use today. If you stay the night, stay within the designated area."

Rusalka thought this travel rule sounded familiar to her: "Could it be that your Lionheart King will turn into the sun?"

The three-tailed fox priestess was stunned. "I don't know where you heard this rumor, but His Majesty the Lionheart is the most powerful of the Rhine tribe. We are the orcs who inherited the souls of our ancestors and the blood of the Rhine, not some divine creation like the sun."

Unexpectedly, the fox witch responded to her question seriously, so Rusalka continued the topic: "Then putting aside the strength of the race, what is the difference between the Rhine and the Filin?"

"I've never considered your question. After all, strong men like the two Flint tribe members beside you are extremely rare in the world, just as rare as weaklings among the Rhine tribe." The fox witch said slowly, "This is the fame and honor that the collective brings to the race."

"Just like us, the Fox tribe. In fact, only about three-quarters of the females in our tribe can become warlocks, and the probability of males becoming warlocks is even slimmer. Therefore, less than half of the entire race can cast spells."

"But everyone thinks that anyone from the Fox clan must be a warlock."

"So, if you're asking what the difference is between us Foxes and Ferrins..."

Rusalka: "That's a big difference. You have more tails."

The fox witch was stunned. She originally wanted to say "racial concept", but Rusalka's answer was strange but correct, leaving her completely at a loss as to what to say.

But in fact, Rusalka was speaking sincerely this time. Having more tails is indeed an advantage. Have you heard the story about how I could do 9 hits in Alice City without using my hands?

Rusalka added, "That way, one less piece won't be a problem."

Fox Witch was speechless, and Phoenix was immediately alert.

So, may I ask, which race is missing one thing that is in the way?

Fortunately, the time when the Fox witch was tortured by Rusalka was just on the way to the Fox Grand Shrine on the top of the mountain in East City.
