I opened a shopping mall in Xihuan

It will take two to three days to build the teleportation circle, so in the next few days, Youxia will run to the manor outside the city if he has nothing to do. The manor's mount, the black panther.

Because Heizai stays around the holy pool every day and is nourished by the abundant life elements, he has obviously grown up a lot during this time. Not only has he grown taller in size, but his temperament has also become more and more stable. Although his original personality It was very calm, but now, it clearly has the ferocity and fierceness of a beast in its eyes.

On this day, Youxia heard that the teleportation circle was about to be completed, so she immediately rushed to the manor, ready to welcome a large number of wood elves at any time.

While waiting, he and Liyoumen walked and chatted along the bank of the holy pool. When they were relaxing, a black panther with big wings suddenly fell from the tall tree in front of them, which really surprised him.

The black panther folded its wings, jumped to his side with silent steps, rubbed its head against his legs, and then sat down on the spot with a cold attitude.

You Xia let out a sigh of relief, squatted down and squeezed its ears, and taught: "You can't be so scary in the future, you know, you are a big leopard now."

Li Youmen stood beside him for a while, then bent down and pinched Heizai's wings, and then stretched his wings to see the density of the feathers.

Hei Zai didn't seem to have any temper with the Wood Elf, letting him watch with his wings.

You Xia raised his head in doubt and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's about to enter adulthood." Li Youmen let go of his wings, straightened up and made a conclusion.

You Xia was surprised: "So fast?"

"Yeah." Li Youmen nodded, "After a while, you can start training."

You Xia didn't react for a while, and asked in a daze: "What is the training?"

"The ability of the mount, taking off, landing, riding and shooting, spinning in the air, how to deal with accidents, etc., all of which need to be trained. Of course, more is to cultivate the tacit understanding between the mount and the mount." Li Youmen said and looked at You Xia, "Controlling a mount is not like controlling a staff. A staff is not a living thing. It has no thoughts and instincts, and it will not disobey your orders. Do you understand?"

You Xia suddenly realized: "Understood."

To put it bluntly, this is like a pair of cooperative partners, who usually ask each other for what they need, and may even give their lives to each other when necessary. In this way, the trust and tacit understanding between each other need to be cultivated even more.

He understood the truth, but when You Xia thought about it, he found that he couldn't spare any time to train the black panther, so he said, "That's the only way. When the black boy becomes an adult, I won't need magic to travel between Los Angeles and the new land." , changed to a ride, but I don’t know if it can support such a long flight.”

Hei Zi touched his palm with his head when he heard this, and after attracting You Xia's attention, he looked at him firmly with yellow eyes, as if to show him that he was very reliable and there was absolutely no problem.

Li Youmen also said: "I may not get used to it at the beginning, just walk a few more times, and I will always practice."

"Then it's decided like this." Youxia rubbed the head of the black panther, then got up and continued the topic just now and asked: "Speaking of which, you don't have time to teach me recently, and you will be free after the construction of the teleportation circle is completed." ?"

"I was just about to tell you about it."

"Ok?"

Liyoumen's expression suddenly became serious, and he looked at him and said: "Generally speaking, every elf born on the sacred tree will be chosen by the priest to be raised by two elves who form a partner, but because of the more than 200 years No new life has been born, and many elf couples without cubs have accumulated in the forest, so..."

Before Li Youmen finished speaking, Youxia began to panic: "You don't want me to recognize your father now!"

It doesn't matter if you recognize some elders, after all, these wood elves are indeed quite old, but to recognize strange elves as parents, this is a bit beyond his bottom line.

"It's not counted as parents, but at most it can be regarded as a teacher who teaches you knowledge, magic and fighting skills, gives you love, and accompany you to help you grow up." Li Youmen explained patiently, "I was also adopted by a couple when I was young. , now I have a very good relationship with them.”

"Then you are my teacher, can't I recognize you?"

Li Youmen shook his head: "I don't have a partner."

Youxia was very helpless, and said: "I'm so old, I have long been used to living independently, and I can support myself economically. In addition to magic homework, I also need your supervision and teaching, and other cubs need company. I don’t need love or anything.”

Seeing his resistance, Li Youmen had no choice but to comfort him in a soft tone: "Of course it doesn't matter if you don't want to, your situation is really special, I will tell the high priest what you think, and I will continue to teach you magic knowledge in the future. "

You Xia breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I will trouble you."

·

Since Liyoumen promised to help him explain the situation to the high priest, Youxia felt relieved, and when the news came that the teleportation circle was completely completed, his attention quickly shifted to the imminent arrival of a large number of wooden above the sprite.

After three days of hard work by the priests, a wide square high platform appeared in the originally empty green grassland, with tall columns standing at the four corners. Looking up, one could see four different magic items floating on the top of the columns.

"It's the golden ring of the second-generation elf king, the prophecy book of High Priest Annovia, the quill pen used by a certain human magician, and the toe bone of the giant queen." Li Youmen said briefly.

"Toe bones?"

You Xia was about to raise a question, how could even this kind of thing become a magical item, when the magic circle suddenly opened, and the sudden flash of dazzling light interrupted his thoughts.

Ahead, there were platinum lines appearing on the plain marble countertop. The lines intersected and joined together to form a huge and complicated rune. Immediately, the four pillars suddenly burst into bright light. Four barriers were formed to surround the square platform, and wisps of golden light lingered in the center.

Both the Elf King and the Great Elder came here to wait, and Youxia stood beside the priests, looking nervously and expectantly at the space on the teleportation circle.

"Is this coming?"

Li Youmen nodded and gave a soft "hmm".

His voice just fell, and in just a blink of an eye, as if the game refreshed the characters, rows of figures appeared on the table.

The figures changed from blurred to clear, and when the light completely fell, they saw about 100 wood elves standing on the teleportation circle. At a glance, they were all tall, silver-haired and green-eyed beauties.

The elf king and the elders walked up the steps to welcome the arrival of the clansmen, and Youxia also followed the steps of the priests.

During this period, he restlessly admired the faces of the elves. He only felt that each of them was beautiful and distinctive. Ling Roumei, and after looking around, he suddenly found that he didn't remember anything.

So after half a month, You Xia once again had such a feeling that he seemed to be face-blind.

But I have to admit that facing such a large group of wood elves, I feel very happy in the senses, like being surrounded by a circle of angels, and the whole person is a little bit smug.

Of course, it would be even better if these elves didn't stare at him after greeting His Majesty and the Great Elder.

"I saw our cub." A certain male elf said suddenly.

"That's our cub. Il and I have submitted an adoption application to the high priest." The female elf next to him said coldly.

"So you guys submitted it too?" Another elf interjected.

"Then we're in competition now."

"Each according to his own ability."

Xia En, who was the first to speak, pulled his partner out of the crowd and came straight to You Xia.

Immediately, he twitched the corners of his mouth a little, and showed You Xia a friendly smile, and said, "Get to know me, my name is Xia En, I am 340 years old, and I am a horse archer. This is my partner Ka Na, she was born in the same year as me, she is a dual-wielding warrior, we have submitted an application to the high priest to support you, you can consider it."

After saying that, he took out a silver hair crown decorated with flowers from the interspatial ring and put it on the top of Youxia's head, saying: "This is a gift from Kana and I, I hope you like it."

You Xia wore a silver hair crown, before he could say no, another elf couple came from behind. The two elders introduced themselves solemnly, and then left a pair of golden bows and arrows as a gift.

Just like this one pair after another, in just a few minutes, You Xia's body was covered with gifts.

After finally waiting for a space around him, his first reaction was to look back at Liyoumen, with great doubts on his small face.

Li Youmen apologized: "I sent a letter to the high priest with flames, but he may not have received it yet."

The Elf King on the side laughed unkindly.

You Xia didn't know what to say, Li Youmen's explanation came too late, even if the Great Elder later explained to them that You Xia didn't want to be adopted, it was already too late.

Now that the presents have been given out, there is absolutely no reason to take them back. In order not to embarrass the cubs, the elders immediately changed their words, saying that these were gifts for the cubs.

In this way, the single elves who were on the sidelines had the nerve to stand and watch the show, and they all gave cub gifts without admitting defeat.

Most of these single elves were as aloof as Li Youmen, and they didn't say much when they came over. They either put down the gift and left, or reached out and touched his head expressionlessly, as if they were trying to appease some small animal.

Surrounded by beauties, Youxia experienced pain and happiness for the first time.

Knowing that it is absolutely useless to ask the Great Elder for help in this regard, she only wished to participate in it, so she looked at the Elf King for help.

The other party raised his eyebrows at him, and made a mouth shape with a smile: "Are you happy?"

You Xia decided to add the Elf King to the blacklist.

·

At night, the tea table and sofa in the room were covered with gifts You Xia received today, and pieces of gold, silver and jewelry reflected dazzling light under the lights, making the already bright space even more gorgeous.

It has to be said that the aesthetics of elves is both elegant and high-profile. Any gift taken alone is a work of art with high price and exquisite appearance.

Folding the last cloak made of gold silk and putting it on the sofa, Youxia sighed and said, "It's really strange to say, isn't it that the wood elves live in seclusion in the Yingdeng Forest and rarely come out? Where did they come from? How much is it?"

Rice helped him sort out the gifts, and said immediately after hearing the words: "I heard that a nobleman in the country of Lot hired a light elf as a hired mage with a monthly salary of [-] gold coins."

You Xia raised his eyebrows: "So tall, is that light elf very powerful?"

Rice shook his head, and said again: "There is also the former king of Ilan Kingdom, who once offered a monthly salary of two hundred gold coins to recruit a wood elf to be his hired mage, and promised to build him the highest palace in the whole continent in the holy city palace." mage tower."

"Did he succeed then?"

"No."

"Oh..." You Xia nodded thoughtfully, "It's an unsurprising ending."

Les: "Yeah."

"Two hundred gold coins a month, two apartments in the city center a year, which is too much money." You Xia sighed, and then jokingly said, "I think I should study magic hard and be a hired mage in the future. never mind."

Les paused, then suddenly raised his head to look at him and said, "Then you wait for me."

"Ok?"

"I'll hire you when I make money."

"You?" You Xia propped his chin with his right hand, frowned pretending to be tangled, and couldn't help laughing when he saw Les' slightly disturbed expression: "You have two gold coins this week, I think I can't wait for you to make a lot of money, or you should quickly become stronger, let me hire you!"

Rice thought about it seriously, then raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Alright."
