Elf elders are used to specifically refer to those elves who have lived for a long time. In fact, although the theoretical lifespan of elves is far longer than that of humans, few elves can actually live to die of natural causes. War, accidents or diseases, in the face of these situations

Neither do the children of the forest, who are beloved by the forest.

Will be stronger than a beetle. So for the elves, those knowledgeable elders are real treasures. They may be good at communicating with nature, or they may be well versed in the way of life, even if they have only lived this long life in vain.

In time, what they saw was enough to teach the younger generations.

Leon had the honor to fight alongside an elf when he was participating in a battle outside the Cangshi area. The elf always spoke "what the elders said" when he opened and closed his mouth. This not only made the knight captain quite bored with him, but also annoyed the elders of the elf clan.

He had a vague concept. And now the elf calling himself Atwood in front of him was undoubtedly an elf elder. To be honest, this quite surprised the blood lion.

After the old elf briefly introduced himself to the knight commander, he began to study the rat corpse brought back by Buckham. However, the elf's research method was different from the dissection of cheese and the potions of the Pharmacist Association that Leon had seen before.

The techniques used by the masters were all different. I saw the green staff placing the skinny hand on the surface of the slightly rotted rat-man corpse, and then the hand began to beat gently on the corpse like stroking a pet.

"I said, your detection method is a bit..." Seeing an old elf caressing a half-rotten rat corpse in such a morbid manner, this scene was really hard for Leon to accept. But Buckham seemed to think so.

Don't take it seriously.

"In the eyes of the old man, both us and the monster's corpse are all part of nature. Touching that corpse is just to gain insight into its internal structure, just like you humans would use a fork to check whether the meat is cooked.

.Nothing to be surprised about." The young elf said.

Leon understood this metaphor for the moment, but what surprised the blood lion was that Buckham seemed to understand humans better than he thought. An elf at his age should not have had the opportunity to have in-depth contact with humans. So, yes

Did this elder who called himself the Green Staff teach him?

While the two were talking, Atwood seemed to have finished examining the body. The elf elder withdrew his hand from the body and made a solemn expression. Just when Leon wanted to step forward to ask about the results, the next moment

The opponent's actions almost caused the knight commander to flee.

The green staff removed his hand from the rat man's body, and then with a fierce force, he stretched the skinny arm into the rat man's abdomen! The old elf's hand stirred in the rat man's abdomen, making a disgusting sound.

sound, a large amount of blood and other fluids flowed down the rat

Water flowed out from the punctured gap in the man's stomach, but Atwood didn't seem to care about it. After stirring for a few seconds, the green staff finally seemed to find what he wanted, and the elf took something out of it.

The body was taken out from the stomach.

That's a heart stained with blood!

"Hey, if I were you, I'd close your eyes right now." Buckham said from behind Leon.

As for whether the elf closed his eyes, the blood lion would not know, because his eyes were completely frozen for the next second. Originally, although Lyon thought that Atwood took out the rat man's heart just because it might be mutated

Core, but what he saw next completely changed his impression of the elves.

Because, Atwood, this seemingly kind-hearted elf elder, after taking out the heart from the rat man's corpse, bit the heart hard in front of his descendants and Leon! And!

Under the dull gaze of the knight commander, he ate the whole heart in three bites. Judging from the old elf's expression, it seemed as if he was nibbling on some juicy fruit. However, there was a lot of blood on his face and the original shape of the heart.

The fact that he belonged to a human made Leon instinctively want to vomit.

"You! Ugh..." Well, the knight commander still couldn't control his instinct, turned around and vomited. However, since he had only eaten some wild fruits in the past two days, there was nothing in his stomach to vomit.

Buckham patted Leon's back gently, hoping to make him feel better. Judging from the sympathetic expression on the elf's face, he must have experienced a similar situation before.

"Old man, you scared the guests."

In response, Atwood sucked his fingers unconsciously, with an expression as if he hadn't had enough. Hearing Buckham's complaint, the old elf scratched his head in embarrassment, but the expression on his face matched

The blood stains around my mouth really made my back feel cold.

"Sorry, sorry, I forgot there are outsiders here."

Leon on the other side finally ended his retching. The knight commander straightened up while holding on to the tree trunk next to him. He looked at Buckham and Atwood with a look that looked at monsters.

"Are you really elves? Or are you just demons in elf skin?"

"Hahahaha!" After hearing what the blood lion said, Green Stick couldn't help laughing. He walked to the pond and washed away the blood stains on his mouth with the stream water.

"That's what the old man is like. It's normal for you to be scared. I dare say that if he hadn't been the oldest elf in this forest, he would have been driven out long ago." Buckham shrugged and said. Regarding his mentor

, this young elf was also full of complaints. Although he knew that his talent was not outstanding among his peers, when the tribe handed him over to Atwood, Buckham once suspected that they wanted to kill him with the help of this old madman.

own.

"Hey, Buckham, restrain yourself in front of the guests." The elf elder who had washed his face came over.

Seeing Atwood approaching, Leon subconsciously took a step back. Facing a guy who could eat the hearts of other intelligent creatures without changing his expression, the Knight Commander did not want to get too close to him.

"Don't be afraid, guest from Cangshi. What have I done to deserve your fear?"

"I think it's worth it. After all, not everyone can eat a heart without changing their expression." Leon said with a pale face.

Hearing the knight commander's words, the old elf smiled again and shook his head.

"Does it look like this to you? I ate the heart of a monster that was once a human? That's why you're so scared."

"Isn't it?"

"Haha, yes and no. Although you have the potential to be loved by the forest, your heart is too tightly clamped by your human social rules. Many things, I mean many things, what you see is not accurate.

." Atwood said.

Looking at the pair of eyes flashing with green light, Leon felt that there seemed to be some truth in what the other party said. However, the knight commander could not tell what the elf elder wanted to say to him.

"If one day, your kingdom and family no longer need you. Come to the forest, I will teach you many things." Staring at the confused expression on the blood lion's face, Atwood said in a low voice.

"Thank you for your love, but my country and people need me very much right now." Lyon replied.
