The reserve food raised is the Elf King

Francis stood half a step behind Isabella, with a slanting shadow covering her body, as if embracing her whole body in the shadow.

Isabella couldn't see his expression, nor was she aware of the subtle atmosphere between him and Lancelot that filled the air.

Miss Dragon was looking at the elf intently.

It's like observing a tightly packaged delicious food. Is it possible to tear a crack and steal a small piece of snack to eat?

But Lancelot has been traveling for many years and is very skilled in identity disguise.

It was the same this time, the shiny blond hair was hidden in the hood, the dazzling golden eyes were also covered in shadows, and even Miss Dragon's favorite unique fragrance was covered up by the potion.

Wearing a white robe and disappearing into the crowd, he is no different from the passers-by walking on the street.

There was no way anyone could discover his identity as an elf.

No wonder Isabella, who has a keen sense of smell, failed to notice him in the first place just now.

Miss Dragon blinked quietly.

Obviously she was still thinking about Lancelot before going to bed last night, but now she really saw him, the elf who had no trace of familiarity behind his disguise.

There was actually a sense of sluggishness and lack of interest.

She looked slightly regretful, sighed softly, looked at the young man in white robe in front of her, and thought vaguely.

It seems that I really can’t eat anymore.

If you can't eat, staying here is a waste of time.

It is better to complete the task and return to the academy as soon as possible.

Isabella was lost in her own thoughts and did not pay attention to the conversation between Francis and Lancelot.

She glanced up at the sky.

It was approaching noon, and the light was still dark, as if it would be sunset and dark in a few hours.

You have to seize the time to complete the task.

Isabella tugged on Francis's sleeve, "Let's go. It's best to find the location of the cave today."

"Ah, by the way, Lance, do you want to go find the cave with us?"

Lancelot shook his head.

This is a group task for Isabella's three-person competition. As a non-related person in the task, he is not allowed to participate in the task process.

Although he really wanted to stay with Isabella, he could only refuse with regret, "No, you go ahead."

"Oh fine."

Isabella nodded indifferently.

Anyway, it was just a casual question.

Then he waved to Lancelot and said goodbye without any nostalgia, "Lance, I'll see you back to the hotel in the afternoon."

He turned around and almost ran into Francis's arms.

Isabella quickly put her hand on Francis's chest, frowned subconsciously, and whispered, "Why are you so close? You scared me."

Francis said nothing, his eyes bent with an innocent expression.

A gust of wind blew by, and Rabbit's large sleeves fell down, and his arm seemed to accidentally touch Isabella's arm. The warm light energy passed along the skin and passed to Isabella's body.

Isabella stretched her eyebrows comfortably, smiled sweetly, and said briskly: "Okay, I forgive you."

Francis followed Isabella, watching the little girl's bouncing and heartless back, a smile on her lips, and then quickly covered it up.

He looked at Lancelot and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, senior, but the three of us do still have tasks to do today, so we can't talk to you any more."

Lancelot said nothing.

He stood there quietly, looking at Isabella's back that never looked back, his mind went blank.

Why……

Isabella why...?

Just before crossing the road, when Isabella ran towards him with a bright smile, the elf was still thinking that Isabella would be particularly clingy to him after not seeing him for so many days.

If the little girl hugged him in human form in public, wouldn't it have some bad influence?

Being very familiar with the little girl's extremely passionate temperament, Lancelot quietly felt a sense of anticipation in his heart. The corners of his lips rose uncontrollably, but he suppressed them with restraint and restraint.

The elf said in his heart that this is wrong, and at the same time he wanted to hug Isabella and braid her beautiful hair as usual.

In this three-person competition, Isabella came out to do a task, and the two of them hadn't seen each other for almost half a month. This is the first time that the two have not seen each other for so long due to mission reasons.

Then...do you want a hug?

Sweet troubles make the elf tangled.

Fortunately, his face was covered by a mask, so no one could see his reddish cheeks.

Forget it, let’s save it for the night.

There were people coming and going on the street, and the conservative elf was really shy.

But - Lancelot thought about it - even if he felt embarrassed, he must have the courage to respond to Isabella.

Tell her that he misses her too.

but……

When Isabella really came to him, she stopped a second before she opened her arms to hug him.

Lancelot didn't miss the hesitation flashing in the little girl's eyes.

Those beautiful misty blue eyes, with large pupils as clear as the clear sky, any emotion will be reflected in her eyes without reservation.

In her eyes, Lancelot saw... strangeness.

It was the strange feeling that made him fearful for no reason.

Fortunately, soon after Isabella heard his voice, she returned to her usual self of being most closely dependent on him. Lancelot suppressed the panic that slowly spread in his heart and was about to talk to his little girl more.

The young man approaching behind her broke the harmonious atmosphere between the two.

Francis.

What a strange name.

But Isabella not only trusted him immensely, she even left him behind without any reluctance or nostalgia in the end.

And left with this Francis.

-

"It's so strange. We have almost finished visiting this area, and we haven't seen anything similar to a 'cave' nearby."

Holding a magnifying glass, Isabella flipped through the map in confusion, looking horizontally and vertically, but she couldn't find any new clues.

"Where there are caves, there should be mountains, right?" Isabella asked Lydia on the side for confirmation, scratching her head and worrying: "But where are the mountains?"

The residents of the town told them that there were no mountains in the town, and the mountains outside the town were also a few kilometers away.

"Is it an underground cave?" Lydia guessed.

"It makes sense!" Isabella regained hope.

However, the aunt who sold potatoes on the street told them that the soil in the town was special and all the houses were built on the soil, so there could be no underground buildings or big holes.

This line of thought has been blocked again.

Seeing the sky slowly getting dark, Lydia was a little worried, "Walking street by street like this, I feel like I can't find any useful clues even in the dark."

"Yeah, it would be nice if I could fly around in the air and observe the whole town from above."

Isabella sighed. She was able to master her two big wings last year, but she never had the chance to actually fly.

She was not allowed to change back to her original form in the middle of the mission, otherwise she really planned to transform into a dragon in the middle of the night and fly quietly in the sky.

Anyway, it was the darkest sky in the polar night, so no one would notice her presence.

"If you want to overlook it from a high place, we can try there." Francis suggested.

Following the direction he raised his hand to point, Isabella and Lydia saw the church tower in the center of the town.

The buildings in the whole town are not high. The tallest one is the tower, which is about five stories high. A series of horse-drawn carriages passing by the road in front of the hotel in the morning were also destined for this church.

"That's right!" Isabella slapped her forehead, "I'm so stupid. I just thought about flying, but I forgot the simplest way."

But when the three of them walked outside the church, they were stopped and told that the church did not accept outsiders to visit these days. If they wanted to pray, they could go to the small church in the side courtyard.

If you want to see the tower view, you have to wait at least two months.

Two months was too long, and they obviously couldn't wait that long.

We can only think of new ways.

Lydia was hit by a series of obstacles and complained softly: "It would be great if we could use magic. I have learned several tracking and path-finding magics, and I guarantee that I will find this broken cave on the map in minutes."

"Oh, don't be anxious."

Isabella looked away instead, "The town is so big anyway, even if we walk through the entire town step by step, it won't take us ten days."

"You can't always rely on magic."

Lydia glanced at Isabella quietly and twitched her lips, "What you said is exactly the same as Senior Lance."

Lancelot's concept is that where he can do it himself, there is absolutely no need for magical power to do it for him.

But he is an elf who is close to nature. It is normal to have different thoughts and ideas from regular mages.

Unexpectedly, Isabella, a fire-breathing dragon, was subtly guided by him to stop using magic.

Isabella scratched the back of her head and said, "It's not like Lance at all. He likes to ask for trouble, but I find magic troublesome. Every magic requires memorizing a lot of messy theories and spells, so I can't memorize it." Come down."

"Besides," Isabella looked around, quietly leaned into Lydia's ear, and whispered smugly: "No matter how powerful those magicians are, they can't compare to the power of Isabella's tail hammer. .”

Lydia: "...awesome."

Isabella said cheekily: "Hehe, it's not bad."

Lydia was speechless: "You like fighting so much, why not go to the duel tower and play a single match."

Isabella shook her head of course, and even more confidently found an excuse: "No, every time the little mage I match is so weak, I'm afraid that I will break the opponent's bones with one tail, and he will ask me to pay for the medical expenses."

"..."

Frances saw the two little girls biting their ears and muttering, thinking they were talking about girls, so he took the initiative to move away.

When passing by a restaurant, he asked aloud: "Bella, Lidya, why don't we have something to eat first? It will get dark soon, and the shops on the street will close early."

"Okay, okay!" The two little girls nodded wildly.

Isabella raised her hand and suggested: "I also want to eat kebabs!"

Francis smiled and said, "I passed by a store on the street just now. I'll buy it for you."

Isabella cheered and praised with a sweet smile: "Brother is so considerate~

She never shows mercy when ordering people, so she started ordering: "I want fifty skewers of beef, with spicy and spicy sauce! Lily, what do you want to eat?"

Lydia whispered, "I'll just eat ten skewers of beef."

"Oh, then add ten more skewers of beef. Thank you brother, we will go to the restaurant to wait for you first!"

Lydia:?

You, the old man, can eat fifty skewers of beef by yourself?

The girl has slender limbs and a slender waist wrapped in an elegant lace tutu. She does not look like she has a body that can eat fifty skewers of beef.

However, Francis had no doubts at all, and left after taking note of their taste requirements.

Isabella led the cat girl into the restaurant, opened the menu, and ordered a table of meat and vegetables.

This is completely satisfying.

Facing Lidia's round, cat-like eyes that widened in shock, Isabella's snow-white cheeks seemed to be stained with a thin layer of light pink. She looked extremely innocent: "I get hungry easily. It's not like you don't know that, Lily." .”

Lydia picked up the menu, silently added a few green leafy dishes, and ordered them for the poor senior rabbit.

He said in confusion, "But wouldn't the appetite of the beast tribe be much smaller when in human form?"

Isabella nodded, "Theoretically, that's right."

"But when a giant dragon can't eat the most delicious food temporarily, it always has to find some meal replacement from somewhere else to make up for it."

Miss Dragon slowly licked the corners of her lips, her bright red lips sparkling, and her misty blue eyes shimmering with silver.

"After all, who could bear to let lovely Bella go hungry?"
