7、The captured elves

do not want.

"Why not? 』

Not interested, I don't want to sign any shit contract with you.

"Have you made a mistake? Do you know how good this lady is? How many elves are rushing to sign a contract with me? 』

I don't want to know, let me sleep for a while, don't disturb me, all right?

"This lady is the only one of all elemental spirits at present~? 』

I care about your whole department, it has nothing to do with me, you can find someone else.

"I said why you are so stubborn~? 』

...

"Hey, speak up~"

...

"Don't ignore people~ Why are you like this~"

...

"You, you are really... mad at me! 』

In the distance of the forest outside...

"Boss, how long do you have to wait?" A sneaky figure turned anxiously.

"...I have been waiting for more than ten days, can't you afford to wait at this time?" Another tall, strong man, with a scar on his nose, dragged it directly to his chin, looking very fierce.

"I'm anxious, the fourth child just said that the little thing is still lying on the spot, but if she gets up and meets the five elves, it will be much more difficult."

"Nonsense, don't I know? I'm also anxious! But the third child is not ready yet, just wait for him to come back, and then wait." The big man frowned, feeling extremely anxious. But as the leader of a small team, he must force himself to calm down.

"Hey, okay. Speaking of which, we were lucky this time. Young elves ~ haven't been seen in the market for decades. I don't know how much it will cost!" The sneaky man rubbed his hands involuntarily, and said in a tone. very excited.

"No, although adult elves are also very valuable, no elves who can sign a pet contract are as valuable as they are worth! Now our brothers can make a fortune."

"Hey! What a coincidence. I was lost for a few days and accidentally touched this place. It turned out to be a holy place for the elves to test the elemental envoys. There is no enchantment for some reason. What is more coincidental is that the ghosts and gods before the departure, unexpectedly I brought the big teleportation reel that I thought was a waste of money. This... I don't know what to say by coincidence! Hehehe!"

"If this ticket is accepted, brothers will no longer have to lick blood. These elves are so powerful in the forest that they will never end once they are tied."

"Ah, the third child is back." The two were talking, and a thinner figure appeared in the bush next to him. "how's it going?"

"The magic crystal trap is ready. You can do it." The man gestured.

"Okay, let's check the fixed-point teleportation reel again, whether you can live and enjoy the happy life in the future, rely on it."

Entrance to the Holy Land of Elves...

"Everyone pay attention, I always think it's a bit bad." Catherine turned around at the entrance, looking back at the little guy on the grass in the valley from time to time. It's been a long time, why the little guy is still lying there, I don't know if any elemental elves have found her. These can only be known after she herself comes out of it, and it's useless to rush.

The four rangers dressed in standard elven tabards looked at each other, nodded, and slightly opened the dagger in a close position, then removed the dagger from the back and picked up an arrow. Be vigilant.

Suddenly, there was an explosion in the woods a little further away, and a thick smoke slowly rose. Catherine quickly drew her dagger, looked in that direction, and hesitated.

"Mable, Corbett, you two go and see, be careful."

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"...These elves are quite cautious. They only led away two, and there are three left. What should I do?"

"Boss, do it."

"Damn... The three elves... It's too risky. But... Ah!!! Fight! Just help the fourth one to hold on for a while... Let the teleporting scroll take effect! This ticket will be successful, it depends on this! Go!! "

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"Hey, what do you want to say, do you sign at all? 』

…you are annoying?

"It's good for me to sign you. 』

When this elemental spirit who doesn't know whether it is true or not, is almost crazy. Suddenly I heard a loud noise in the distance, I don't know what happened, and then I heard what Catherine was saying. Sitting up suspiciously, I just wanted to stand up, but there was a gust of wind in my ear, a pain in the back of my neck, and a dizziness in my head. I vaguely felt that the elemental spirit named Eve was exclaiming, and before he had any thoughts, he fainted...

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

The two rangers walked for less than a while, and were looking at Catherine at the explosion site. Suddenly, they wanted to jump in their hearts, worried that the little guy would be in danger. Looking back, by the lake in the sacred place of the valley, a man who looked like a human thief was squatting on the ground and opening a scroll. The young figure beside him was lying softly on the ground, obviously in a coma.

Catherine was anxious, and immediately planned to rush over. Unexpectedly, three human warriors sprang out from the woods next to them somehow, just blocking their way forward.

There was no need to speak at all, Catherine and the other two elf rangers attacked instantly. Obviously, the martial arts of these humans are much worse than them, but under their almost desperate full defense, they will be entangled for a while, unable to break through.

"Get out!!" The attack became more and more ruthless, and the action became more and more urgent, but still couldn't break the defense of the three human men who used injury for injury like a rogue. Catherine watched the torn scroll turned into a small circular magic circle, covering the thief and the little guy together, turning faster and faster. Regardless of the doubt as to why the barrier of shielding teleportation magic in the Holy Land did not take effect, he fought two swords. He tried his best to hit a guy's long sword, and rushed in through the gap that he had finally squeezed out.

Unfortunately, it was still a step slower.

The short sword in Catherine's hand quickly stabs the thief who has stood up, trying to interrupt the operation of the scroll. But saw a flash of ridicule in the thief's eyes, and the entire magic circle flashed white light and disappeared...

Stupidly staying in place, Catherine stared at the place where the little guy disappeared in despair, and ignored the last human being who was smashing the teleportation scroll and fleeing behind her. The short sword in her hand fell to the ground.

"Master Catherine, one of the three human assassins ran away, and the remaining two are dead." The other two elf rangers looked sad, and seemed to be unharmed. But watching the same clan, being snatched by humans in front of him, felt really uncomfortable. They are all grown-up elves, with enough experience, and naturally they also know what will happen to the young elves when they fall into the hands of humans.

"What the hell is going on? Why didn't the enchantment of the Holy Land take effect?" Catherine suddenly thought of this question. She was very angry. During the jump, she rushed to the stone stele in the middle of the valley in the lake, stepping on a little protrusion of the base. Looking down, the fist-big seventh-level magic crystal in the center that was originally set on the top of the stone tablet disappeared completely, leaving only a semicircular groove.

"How could this be?" Catherine was stunned. This magic crystal was built from the Holy Land, which has a history of hundreds of years. Inlaid here, except for smashing it, it is impossible for someone to get it out. What is going on?

"We go back immediately, we must tell Her Majesty the Queen. Some humans sneaked into the holy ground and stole the energy spar of the enchantment!" Gritting her teeth, Catherine gave up her plan to think of a solution alone. Turned around and jumped back to the lake. Just in time to see the other Elf Ranger rushing back.

"Mabel, Corbett, you two came back just right, what's the situation over there?"

"I only found a magic crystal trap that I didn't know when it was installed, and there were no traces left around." Seeing everyone's expressions, the two elven rangers probably knew what they had discovered.

"Sure enough, these insidious, cunning, damned humans!" Catherine really hates those humans, and there is no better word to curse. She can only swear secretly that she must find that little guy. . Obviously so pitiful, and just born!

"Let's go back first! Let everyone be more vigilant."

Looking back at the place where the little guy disappeared, Catherine treated the wound on her body a bit, and left with the other elven rangers who were barely injured.

...

"Oops... how could this be? I knew I wouldn't touch that magic spar...it's broken, it's going to cause trouble now...』

"what to do! Can't let those elves know that I did it... Um... I have to smash people... Yes, I have to look for that little guy, after all, I was taken away because of me! 』

"Well, that's it. 』
