"...What should we do now?"

Emile turned back to Ophelia for help. He had no choice at this time. Let alone whether to listen to Cosette, even if he wanted to help, he didn't know how to treat her injuries.

Ophelia spread her hands and said there was nothing she could do.

"His Highness has a special physique. We ordinary elves certainly have no choice but to do what His Highness said."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she noticed Emil behind her and showed a nervous expression. Emil didn't know why and looked back, but was shocked by the sight in front of her.

"Well, Your Highness Cosette, have you finally recovered?"

Cosette stood up from the ground. A large number of slender and curly horns suddenly appeared on the top of her head. At the same time, she lowered her head slightly, and green light emitted from her pupils.

"Emil, get out of the way." Ophelia noticed something was wrong and quickly pulled Emil away.

The next moment, with a loud noise, a big hole appeared where he originally stood, and Cosette stretched out her hand towards him, with a dazzling white light shining in her palm.

The floor of the shelter was full of hard stones, but under Cosette's attack, the stones were instantly destroyed, leaving not even the dregs left.

Emil couldn't help but tremble slightly. If Ophelia hadn't caught him in time, he would have ended up like those stones.

"Your Highness Cosette, what's wrong with you?"

"Leave her alone, we'd better stay away first." Ophelia continued to pull him back.

Sure enough, Cosette's movements became extremely fast. As soon as Emile left her front foot, the next attack came.

By now, Emil understood that she had lost her mind. Seeing that her wrist was still bleeding, although he was a little worried about her, his own life was more important now.

So, in order to avoid the terrifying attack, Emil summoned Lilith and flew into the air.

Fortunately, Cosette didn't notice the target in the air, so she could only attack everything around her indiscriminately. After a while, the entire shelter was riddled with holes.

Lilith took the opportunity to fly out through the gap in the shelter. At this time, it was just dawn, and Emil and Ophelia stayed above the town, looking warily at the entrance to the shelter.

"If I guessed correctly, it should be the atavism of the elves." Ophelia said with a frown.

"Atavism?" This was the first time Emil heard such a thing.

"Well, I once heard from the Elf King. It is said that thousands of years ago, the elves were basically existences that looked like elk, but they had wisdom beyond humans and their own language. The most obvious thing is that

Their characteristic is the horns on their heads, which can reflect the strength of their magic power. In addition, the magic power of female elves is naturally stronger than that of male elves of the same age, so their horns are thin and long, but this is not a good thing. The lifespan of elves is almost

It is infinite. Their magic level will continue to get stronger as they grow older, and the horns on their heads will naturally become longer and longer. However, the growth trend of the horns is not always straight. If they are unlucky, the horns will grow longer and longer.

It is very likely to penetrate into the head, causing fatal injuries. The elves also know this very well, so they have been looking for a solution. It was not until an elf king developed the magic of transformation that all elves became

The human form continued to reproduce like this, and they finally got used to the human form, which is the form we see now."

"I see," Emil nodded, "I understand, so every elf has atavism, so how do they solve it?"

"No," Ophelia denied his conjecture, and then continued, "Over thousands of years, the elves have become accustomed to the human form. As a result, their descendants lost the ability to transform into their original form, and

Not long after that, the Elf clan experienced a disaster of genocide. At that time, almost all adult elves died. Except for the current Elf King and a few powerful elves, because of this, they were the only elves alive.

In order to transform into the original form, Her Highness Cosette is an exception. As a new generation of elves, she has the rare ability to return to her ancestors. Of course, this matter has always troubled her, although other elves think that this

It is a symbol of the chosen one.”

"Well..." After hearing this, Emil fell into deep thought. After a while, he spoke again, "So, is there no way to solve the problem of Cosette's violence?"

"Oh, I don't know either." Ophelia sighed. She had no idea at this time. After all, she was just a simple-minded knight.

"Since Cosette will follow us, she must have a way. Didn't the Elf King tell you how to solve her usual atavism?"

"No," Ophelia shook her head, "but, listening to what you said, I think Her Highness will indeed be prepared, and we may be able to find a solution with her."

"Well, so we still have to control her next." Emil nodded.

Not long after, Cosette also came out of the shelter. She released terrifyingly powerful magic wantonly, turning the houses in the town into ruins.

Emil didn't have to worry about the other party attacking, but when he saw there were so many monsters in the town, he immediately thought of a way.

"There is a way."

"What can I do?" Ophelia asked.

"Hey, you'll know later." Emil smiled mysteriously.

Ophelia finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him like this, because she knew that Emile would be able to solve the predicament at hand.

Immediately afterwards, Emile let Lilith fall to the ground, and then deliberately appeared in front of Cosette.

Cosette had just destroyed a large building and suddenly turned around in alarm. She sensed traces of magic on Emile and others.

"Go to hell...go to hell!" Cosette rushed over like crazy.

Only then did Emil see her appearance clearly. He saw that her face was ferocious, her eyes were fierce, and her hair was messy. She seemed to be in a lot of pain. But the most terrifying thing was that the horns on her head were actually visible to the naked eye.

It grew rapidly, and the sharp horns would approach the head from time to time, but in the end they would just pass by.

Emil knew that if he didn't find a way to stop it, her head would be pierced by the horn sooner or later.

So, he continued to seize the time to implement his plan. After attracting Cosette's attention, he quickly let Lilith lift off, but it was only five or six meters above the ground.

Cosette chased him fiercely, and a large number of holes suddenly appeared under Emile's feet until he came to the monsters near the city gate.

Those monsters were looking for targets everywhere, and Cosette happened at this moment. They were suddenly excited and rushed towards the tide. Lilith took the opportunity to rise into the sky and escape from the battlefield.

Sure enough, within a minute, Cosette was restrained by a large number of monsters, and no matter how hard she struggled, it was to no avail.

"So this is the method. It's worthy of you, Emil." Ophelia couldn't help but admire.

"Hehe, it's just a small trick." Emil smiled humbly.

After that, they slowly descended and reached a position where they were not noticed by the monsters.

With the help of the gradually clearing light in the sky, Emile carefully observed Cosette's body and found a small and exquisite kettle.

"In extremely cold areas like the elves' territory, do they really know how to drink water?" Emil suddenly asked.

"Of course not. The water there is frozen. Even if there is water, the elves will not drink it, because their daily water has always been the fairy spring."

"Really? That's right. That kettle should contain the Fairy Spring, and it can definitely solve the problem of returning to one's ancestors."

"Try it, I'll get the kettle." Ophelia suggested.

Emil was a little worried that she would be attacked by monsters, but then he thought that she had dealt with the monsters in the shelter just now, so he said nothing more.

Sure enough, Ophelia chopped down the attacking monster with a few swords, quickly snatched the kettle from Cosette, and jumped back to Lilith with the last step. The whole movement was done in one go, and Emile watched.

Stunned.

"Here, let's see how to feed the Fairy Spring to Your Highness Cosette."

Emil took the kettle, opened it and smelled it. It was indeed similar to the smell of the pool water he had soaked in before.

He then glanced at Cosette and found that her mouth was tightly covered by the monster, and she was even suffocated, let alone letting her open her mouth.

But he suddenly remembered something. When he was soaking in the Fairy Spring, he accidentally drank a few sips, and then found that there was a smell of spices in it, and there were some white petals floating on the water. He once suspected that

It's a woman's bathwater, and the other woman's status must be very noble.

Now that he thought about it again, he guessed that the owner of the pool was probably Cosette, which meant that he drank the elf princess's bath water at that time.

Emil immediately shook his head, trying to get rid of distracting thoughts. It was not that he disliked Cosette, rather, he even had a strange feeling, but it was this feeling that made him feel complicated.

"Emile, what's wrong with you?" Ophelia saw him in a daze and asked with concern.

"Ah? Oh, it's nothing. Maybe we can pour the fairy spring directly on His Highness."

"Uh, is that enough? Is there any basis for this?" Ophelia was doubtful.

"Anyway, let's give it a try. Just don't finish pouring it. Maybe my guess is wrong."

"oh."

Ophelia nodded, and then returned to Cosette again. The monsters noticed her and almost knocked over the kettle in her hand. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, and at the same time she dodged the Fountain of Fairies.

It fell on Cosette's face.

At that moment, Ophelia found that a sharp horn was about to pierce Cosette's head, and she couldn't help but sweat.

Until the last moment, Cosette, who came into contact with the Fairy Fountain, instantly returned to normal, her fierce eyes became clear, and the horn stopped, and then quickly retracted. After a while, all the horns on her head disappeared.

.

"...It's really effective. It almost scared me to death."

Ophelia breathed a sigh of relief, but the monsters around her took the opportunity to pounce on her again. This time she lightly swung her sword and chopped down the monsters.

Seeing Cosette's appearance, Emile dared to return to the ground, and he quickly ran over to express condolences.

"...Well, my head hurts," Cosette frowned, and then said, "Did you help me? Ophelia."

"Haha, you praise me too much, it's Emile." Ophelia scratched her head and said, she didn't notice anything was wrong.

"oh?"

Cosette's eyes stayed on Emile, and the next moment, the white light in her hand flickered, and a majestic magic power struck Emile.

However, when she was about to touch him, the magic power suddenly disappeared. Cosette rushed over and opened her arms to hug him.

"Really, didn't you tell me not to help me?...Now I owe you a favor...Oh, no matter what, thank you, Emil."
