"No, no, no! Speak up! Stand up!"
This frightened He Wen so much that he quickly took a step back.
Instead, Shireen seemed a little scared and a little confused.
"Why... humans, like...? Etiquette...?"
The woman was still kneeling. She looked at Shirin and then said in a very indifferent tone.
"Because human males have a desire to conquer, and if a woman kneels on the ground and does such a thing, it will make the man feel..."
"Stop! I said stop! Don't teach her weird things!"
He Wen now regrets letting Shireen come with him. What's going on with the Lord of the Forest? It's a big deal if he teaches a child bad things.
After determining that his surrender and...service was not needed, the Lord of the Forest stood up.
I have to say, although her true form is simply embarrassing.
But the human girl it transforms into can be said to be beautiful and fragrant, and she also has an ethereal temperament.
"Oh, I thought that demons would like to torture human women, and I was already mentally prepared."
She seemed to sigh in frustration.
"Don't do anything weird. I'm here to ask you something."
Seeing that He Wen seemed to be serious, the woman stopped joking and her voice became empty again.
"If you are here to question me, I can only say that under the circumstances, I did not think you could defeat humans, so I could only retreat to my own lair. I hope you can understand."
"I can understand that."
Although He Wen did not come to tell her this, and after he awakened the magic soldiers, the Lord of the Forest also returned to the battlefield and helped him intercept the rear of the knights.
But it is also necessary to let her know her attitude.
"But I hope we can at least work together in the future."
"That's why."
The girl tilted her head in confusion.
"We are a cooperative relationship. I should regard my nest as the top priority to protect. Survival is my first criterion. If you don't agree with this, you can accept me as your slave, so that I can There will be no reason to abandon you."
"You are right, we are a cooperative relationship, but from now on, we are not just a cooperative relationship."
The girl still couldn't understand, so He Wen gave her a rough analysis.
"At the beginning, humans did not plan to occupy the entire forest. After all, there are many monsters here and you exist, but now the situation is different. Together we defeated thousands of iron cavalry and killed their lords. Do you think humans are still here? Are we allowed to live in this world?"
The girl thought for a moment, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
Although He Wen didn't know whether the monster's IQ was high enough to understand the current situation, he still waited silently.
"I understand what you mean, Lord Demon."
"Just call me Professor."
"Professor? You don't look knowledgeable. You are young and handsome."
"...Okay, stop bragging. Anyway, just call it like this."
"Yes, Professor, I accept your offer."
Hearing her say this, He Wen's expression softened a little.
"Then let's talk about another thing. What secrets does this forest hold? Why did the lord of Arnan County not hesitate to send out heavy troops to occupy this place? I believe he is not here for the orc village, nor is he here for you. .”
The girl was rare silent for a while, and then she looked at the girl next to He Wen.
He Wen thought that she was worried that someone would be present and it would be inconvenient to speak, so he told the Lord of the Forest that Shilin was his sister.
Hearing what He Wen said, Shilin blushed a little, but subconsciously held He Wen's hand tighter.
"Sister? An elf, a demon, sister?"
"The situation is a bit complicated, but it is true. Let's get down to business. You don't have to worry. She can be there."
Because the topic revolved around Shilin, Shilin was a little nervous at this time. In order to make her feel better, He Wen quickly brought the topic back.
Unexpectedly, the forest lord slowly shook his head.
"Professor, it's not that I don't want to say it because she is here, but because what I want to say is related to her."
He Wen frowned.
"You said it's related to Shireen?"
The girl shook her head again.
"My wording is not very mature yet. Sorry, I haven't communicated with people in common language for a long time. I mean, it has something to do with the elves."
He Wen did not repeat the question again. He knew very well that although the owner of the forest was not good at communicating with others, it also showed that there should be no lies or nonsense in what she said.
"Tell me."
"As you command, my professor."
The girl curtsied and saluted. This was a skill that He Wen mastered after being in contact with her several times. If you want to quickly make the Lord of the Forest surrender, the best way is to give her appropriate pressure. It is better to say that this trick is actually It works for most people.
What He Wen didn't expect was that the forest lord did not continue talking, but turned around and walked towards the hot spring.
Seeing that He Wen didn't follow, she turned back and smiled.
"Follow me, my professor."
When He Wen was still hesitating whether to let Shilin come with him, the elf girl had already tightly hugged He Wen's arm with both hands.
"I-I am an elf...I-I want to be together, please, leave me...don't."
Looking at the pitiful look of the girl, He Wen sighed and at the same time gave orders to the cookie in the shadow with his consciousness.
No matter what happens, protect Shireen first.
He Wen's shadow trembled slightly, and then he let out a low roar.
After hearing this movement, the smile on the forest lord's face froze.
"Professor, you don't need to show me how powerful you are, I already know how powerful you are."
"Defenses can not do without."
“Doubt is the biggest obstacle to cooperation.”
What He Wen didn't expect was that the girl was so sharp-tongued. He smiled helplessly and led Shirin to the girl.
"This is a dead end. It should be the deepest part of the mine. Why did you bring me here?"
Looking at the rock wall in front of him, He Wen was a little confused.
"No need to worry, my professor."
The girl chuckled and slowly stretched out her hand, her slender fingers gently sliding across the rock wall. The hard stone surface seemed to become extremely soft under her touch. He Wen noticed this scene and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
At this time, He Wen noticed that the huge spider monster in the hot spring behind him suddenly made a strange whisper.
The voice was low and strange, like a whisper coming from the abyss, making people shudder.
He Wen thought of the movie he had watched. The voice was like the voice of the Soul Eater in Harry Potter.
Immediately afterwards, something even more surprising happened to He Wen.
The rock wall that the girl was touching suddenly showed some mysterious runes. These runes emit a light blue light, as if they were stars in the night sky trapped in the stone.
Suddenly, the dark depths of the mine were lit up with azure light, making people feel as if they were in the vast galaxy.
"...Is this, magic?"
He couldn't help but sigh, but he heard the forest lord deny his words with a smile.
"...Is this, magic?" he asked doubtfully, his heart full of surprise and curiosity.
However, the forest lord smiled softly and denied his guess. "Magic? No, my professor, this is not magic, but the long-lost elven arcana." Her voice was low and very magnetic.
"And I guess these are the things that humans are looking for."
In that case, I am at a loss.
He Wen looked at these blue runes and thought, if those humans are looking for these arcane runes, they must have a head-on confrontation with the Lord of the Forest. It seems that he has inadvertently helped this big spider solve a big trouble. No wonder she has so much respect for herself.
It seems that she already knew that the Nan County Crusaders were coming here.
"Go on."
He Wen said, but saw the girl retract her hand. She turned to look at He Wen, lowered her head slightly and said apologetically.
"I'm sorry. My professor, with my knowledge on Weibo, can only make these arcane runes appear, but I can't do more."
He Wen didn't say much. After all, he was across the street like a mountain. He didn't make things difficult for the forest lord, but thought of another person.
Shalia.
This witch, who has lived for who knows how long, must be very interested in these runes, and there must be a way to unlock the secrets here.
"My professor, have these things satisfied your thirst for knowledge?"
"I am the devil."
He Wen smiled.
"The devil is greedy, I will not be satisfied so easily."
He pretended to show a sly smile, which froze the faint smile on the girl's face, but she quickly calmed down and spoke to He Wen humbly.
"Then...my lord, my professor, can you solve the mystery of these runes?"
"I can not."
He Wen shook his head, at least not now.
"But I know someone who can."
The forest lord tilted his head slightly, not quite understanding who He Wen was talking about.
————————————————————————
Half an hour later.
"My professor, could this be understood as some kind of provocation against me, or... a declaration of war?"
The Lord of the Forest has hidden under the hot spring with her true form, the big spider. Now only half of the girl's head is exposed, and her eyes are staring at the girl who just walked into the depths of the mine with great dissatisfaction.
"Hey, I didn't expect you to be alive and still hiding here."
Shalia walked to the hot spring with an indifferent expression.
"Please don't come near me."
The girl's face shrank further into the hot spring.
"We are old friends, why don't you come out and say hello to me?"
Shalia squatted by the hot spring and looked at the Lord of the Forest with a smile.
"No, I don't want to. Please leave and stay away from my territory."
After saying that, the girl buried her head directly into the hot spring.
"It seems that my words have no effect anymore."
Shalia raised her hand and made a grabbing motion.
"Ugh!"
The forest lord's slender body was pulled directly out of the hot spring by an invisible force.
"If you want to kill, then kill, demon! Witch!"
The Lord of the Forest was dragged into the air by Shalia's magic. Although he was shaking with fear, he still had no intention of surrendering.
"Okay, don't scare her."
It wasn't until He Wen came over and patted Shalia on the head that the girl obediently unlocked the magic.
The moment the magic was released, the forest lord let out a cry, and then fell into the hot spring from mid-air.
