Mad Elf's Diary of a Scumbag

In the dark night, fireflies were dotted, and the stars and silver moon hung high in the dome.

It was a late autumn night, the vegetation was dry and the wind was quiet.

In the city lord's mansion, only the branches of the tall trees were left.

Only the maple leaves on both sides of the main road were dyed red by the passing time.

A maple leaf flutters in the wind, slowly hovering in the air.

Like a tired butterfly, it landed gently on the white palm.

Liszt lowered his head and stared blankly at the flaming maple leaf.

I remember that this maple tree was planted by three people together before they intercepted and killed the Lord of the Demon Realm.

The sapling was only as high as my chest at first, but now it has grown to nearly 20 meters tall.

I can't believe that so many years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"When I was a child, I always felt that the moonlight was very gentle, but later on, I always ignored its existence."

"Now that I think about it, I have missed so many beautiful things because I was disturbed by the secular world."

The tree crown is like a huge burning umbrella, blocking the sky.

Dots of silver moonlight shone through the gaps in the leaves.

Liszt stretched out his hand as if he wanted to grab something.

But in the end, it could only turn into a helpless sigh.

The sound of gentle footsteps sounded in the distance, and Liszt turned around to see that familiar figure.

"The streets are so lively. If you don't go and take a look, what's the point of hiding here alone and grieving for the spring and autumn?"

With a calm smile on his face, Lance slowly walked to his side.

He looked up and exclaimed:

"I never noticed it before, but I didn't expect it to grow so big!"

"I heard that maple trees have a lifespan of more than a thousand years."

"After thousands of years, I can't even imagine how beautiful it will become in the end."

Liszt gently stroked the tree body with a sad look on his face.

"We'll come back and see if it's okay then. If it's not burned into firewood, I'll let it evolve into a tree man."

"This tree is female, just bring it back to the Elf Forest for breeding!"

At this point, Lance took out a chisel and started to climb up.

"Are you going to carve the names of the three of us?"

"No way."

Lance waved his hand and said to Liszt.

"I'll carve it into a chest and let it develop in that direction first."

"You don't understand. Today's tree people have more sophisticated tastes than the others. If you don't pay attention to body shape and appearance, you won't be able to find a good partner."

"No! Just wait!"

Liszt reached out his hand and held Lance's shoulder.

"This maple tree is right opposite my bedroom window. Even if you want to mess with it, wait until I'm gone."

"Otherwise, when I wake up every morning and see the maple trees like this, I really can't accept it."

"Go? Where are you going?"

"Leave Glory City and go to a place far away."

There was a flash of doubt in Lance's eyes, and then realization dawned on him.

"Aren't you so lonely that you fell in love with one of the maids in the city lord's mansion?"

"What, have you thought clearly about waiting for the female tyrannosaurus? Are you ready to elope?"

"Actually, this is okay. Dragon Lady is not something that ordinary people can ride. If you don't do it right, you will be ridden against you."

"By the way, I'll give you a good gift."

With that said, Lance took out a beautifully styled picture album and handed it to him.

Liszt took a closer look and saw that it was actually the "One Hundred and Eight Styles of the Book of Bliss"!

"Ahem! Thank you, I will treasure it well."

Seeing that Liszt actually put the album away, Lance opened his mouth in surprise.

"Oh my god! You actually accepted it! You've never accepted anything like this before!"

"Tell me where you are going? Are you going to live in seclusion in some deep mountain or forest?"

"no!"

Liszt interrupted Lance and said helplessly:

"I just want to take a good look at the world."

The two of them walked side by side slowly on the main road in the city.

"Not an elopement?"

"No."

"Then you won't wait for Catherine?"

Hearing this, Liszt's steps stagnated and immediately returned to normal.

"After I leave, please send a magic message to Dragon Island, saying that Liszt has left and let Catherine find a good dragon to marry."

"The Crystal Hub is in the City Lord's Mansion, why don't you send it yourself?"

"Aren't I afraid that Catherine will suddenly fly over in anger and I won't be able to leave?"

"Do you really want to go?"

"Really go."

"Then if I miss you from now on, where can I find you?"

"It's fate, see you later."

"What if there is no chance?"

"Then, just disappear."

Lance paused and looked up and down at Liszt with strange eyes.

"Liszt, Liszt, why didn't I see that you are such a heartless person before?"

"If you have any issues, you can speak up and we can discuss and resolve it together."

"You're such a quiet person. You suddenly said you wanted to leave, but you refused to tell us where you were going."

"Is it possible that you want to start a harem but feel that your reputation will be damaged, so you are ready to find a place to start over?"

"It's a good idea. The God of War changes his appearance and hides in the mountain village, trying to live an ordinary life."

"Then when faced with provocation by a villain, he pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger, all the while pretending to be cool and being slapped in the face."

"Save countless beauties and finally open a big harem."

"I have played this way before, but later I discovered that the stronger you are, the more you encounter beautiful women."

"There are only peasant women with rough hands and feet in the village, and occasionally there are two village girls who are not so tan."

"He also never brushes his teeth and only takes a shower once a year."

"And when you're in this position, it's a bit too low to show off in front of a bully who doesn't even have enough to eat."

Listening to Lance's chatter, Liszt's face showed a look of longing.

"Your life is really wonderful, but when I look back, there is not a moment in my life that truly belongs to me."

"I'm sorry, I can't help you any more."

Liszt raised his head slightly and looked beyond the City Lord's Mansion, beyond the walls of Glory City, to the distant sky.

"I want to pursue a life that truly belongs to me in the future."

"I want to walk on the snow-capped mountains and ride a horse in the northern plains."

"Catch strange sea beasts in the deep sea, and watch the migration of flying dragons on the cliff."

"Good guy, none of the places you mentioned can be lived in."

Having said this, Lance put his hands on his waist and rubbed them gently.

"Although that female tyrannosaurus is scary, you can't be like this."

"It's none of Catherine's business, it's just that I don't want everyone to worry about my departure."

"Then when are you going to leave?"

Lance asked suddenly.

Liszt pondered for a moment,

"After the Glory Day celebrations, the handover with the empire will begin. As soon as the handover is over, I will leave."

After hearing Liszt's words, Lance frowned and asked.

"Handover? Are you sure you want to bring Glory City under the rule of the empire?"
