Chapter 281 – Elf.

Larissa walked over to the table where the elf was standing and then slapped the table. She put too much force on it, so the glasses fell.

The men stood up angrily, but Larissa looked at them menacingly.

Even though they were muscular and threatening, the men swallowed their saliva and stayed put.

"I want to talk to you, come with me." Larissa pointed at the elf. Just as she imagined an elf, he had blond hair, and green eyes and looked quite young.

"Me, why? What have I done?" The elf said startled. He looked to his friends for help, but his friends did nothing.

Impatient Larissa shouted at the elf. Frightened, he got up and left along with her.

As the two of them left the bar, the elf began to tremble, trying to defend himself somehow. He was saying things like "I didn't do anything" and "Forgive me.

Larissa sighed.

"You're quite the coward, aren't you? But don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you, I came here looking for information. Is there somewhere we can talk alone?"

"My house, but it's small..."

"Never mind, let's go there."

"Urg..."

The elf led Larissa to his house. He was visibly scared, so people seemed worried about what Larissa was going to do to him.

But she didn't care about those details.

As soon as she arrived at his house she entered.

"What a dirty place, you don't clean here do you?" Again her vision of an elf was destroyed. Everything was dirty, she couldn't imagine that an elf would be like this.

"I just forgot to clean, hahaha."

"That doesn't matter, I want you to see this and tell me if you recognize it." Larissa took out the book that the recipe was in and handed it to the elf. He took the book and then began to analyze it carefully.

After analyzing it for some time, he handed it back to Larissa.

"Where did you get this?"

"In a library in Slovika. This book was causing some problems in my country. One person took the recipe that is in that book and started to manufacture and sell the drug."

"I see, that's terrible."

"Yes, I know. Now tell me what you know."

"I know that book, I can tell you where it came from."

"I'd appreciate that."

"All right, here." The elf went to a dusty closet and then took out a map.

"This village here, many elves live in this place, but they are not normal elves, rather mages focused on magic and medicine."

"Aren't all elves like that?"

"Not really. Even if we have a high magical knowledge and a high level of mana in our body, most elves prefer not to develop their skills."

"That surprises me."

"Why?"

"I think all elves were powerful mages."

"If an elf studies, he/she can be."

"That makes sense."

"All right, here it is. I marked on the map the exact location where the village is. It's not too far from here, you can get there in less than two days if you use a horse."

"I see, thank you for that."

"You wanted just that?"

"Exactly, I just came here for information as I said before. Thank you for that. Should I get any information, I will reward you for it."

"No need..."

"if you say so..."

The elf smiled bitterly and Larissa said goodbye to him. She then left the house and disappeared soon after. The elf went back into his house and then threw herself on his couch.

"Haaa~~ I thought she was going to kill me. What a scary little human girl."

Following the elf's guidance, Larissa went to the village that was in the middle of a forest. It was a green forest and quite dense, so it was a bit difficult for Larissa to locate the village.

The huts were under the trees, meaning that the entire village was blocked by leaves and Larissa couldn't see the village.

She only discovered the exact location because of the map, and also because of her location magic.

"I have to be careful. If I appear carelessly, I am sure I will be attacked."

Calmly, Larissa lowered her altitude.

As she descended, she felt her body pass through something "solid" that bothered her heart a little.

"A barrier? Whatever." But ignoring that, she landed on the ground a little way from the village. Then she deactivated her invisibility magic and started walking the forest.

She wanted to be noticed by the elves, and she succeeded.

After approaching the village, someone shouted at her from up in the tree. Larissa had already noticed her presence, so she was not surprised.

"Who are you, what are you doing here?" When she looked up, Larissa found a handsome elf pointing a bow in her direction. Like the other, he had blond hair and green eyes.

"I came here seeking information, could you let me pass?"

"Information?"

"Exactly, I have a book here that was probably created by someone in this village. I want to talk to this person about this book to get some information."

"Where is this book? Put it on the floor. If you try to do anything your body will be pierced with several arrows."

"Don't worry, I don't intend to do anything."

Larissa placed the book on the leaf-covered ground and then walked away.

The elf jumped down from the tree and then picked up the book.

"I think I already know who created this book, where did you get it?"

"In a library in Slovika."

"I see, come with me. As I said, don't try to do anything strange."

"Don't worry."

####

Larissa followed the elf and arrived at the village.

'That elf was dirty, but these elves are clean and organized.' Houses on the ground and also houses in the trees.

A stone fountain in the middle of the village with a statue in the center.

Stone paths through the entire village, plus flower beds in each of the houses.

And Larissa cannot ignore the beautiful elven children running around the village.

It was all so beautiful, like a fantasy.

"What is it?"

"Everything is so beautiful."

"Of course."

"...."

"Now let's talk to the village chief about it. If you stay out here any longer the kids will start harassing you."

"I'd kind of like that..."

"What?"

"It's nothing."

"All right, come with me."

Climbing a ladder, Larissa arrived at a treehouse. It was the largest house in the village, a large house made entirely of wood with many flowery details everywhere.

But Larissa did not have time to analyze the entire construction, the elf held Larissa's hand and then pulled her into the house.

"Mom, I have a visitor for you!" The elf shouted as he dragged Larissa inside.

She didn't fight it.

"Mother?"

"Yes, the village chief is my mother."

"I see."

"..."

After a few seconds, an older elf came out of a door that was to the right of the living room. Although it was a living room, it had nothing but a few pillows on the floor for visitors to sit on and also a table.

"Ara, what a pretty little girl." After the elf entered, she sat down on one of the pillows and looked at Larissa. She had a gentle smile on her face.

"Have a seat, it looks like it's something important."

"Mom, look at that. Isn't that yours?" The elf sat down and then Larissa sat down next to him.

He then took the book that was still with him and placed it on the small table.

"Hmm, what is that?" The old elf took the book and then opened it.

"Oh!" And after that, she made a strange sound like she was surprised.
