New Century Kitchen Warrior

Chapter 193 Milk Tea
Lei Ye regretted it as soon as he entered Luolin's house.

So far, he has only entered Hephis's tree house and the elders' tree house. Although Hephis's tree house is empty, it is clean and tidy. It seems that although Hephis is a depressed child, he still knows how to do housework every day and tries to take care of himself. The elders' rooms are not only unique but also beautiful, with a sense of simplicity and elegance. All these have raised Lei Ye's impression of the elves a lot.

The good impression ends here.

When I opened the door, a sour smell hit me in the face.

A rattan clothesline was placed across the living room, with several sets of clothes and underwear hung on it, but they were not washed very cleanly and unnatural water stains could be seen on them.

The smell didn't come from here.

Continuing to look, Lei Ye saw a small wooden cup with rough carvings on the wooden table, which contained red wine.

"You elves can also make wine." Lei Ye said in surprise.

"No, we bought all of this from traveling merchants. Traveling merchants bring a lot of good stuff, and they sell it at a very low price, just like they don't make money from us. Aunt Lorraine is one of the richer people in the tribe, so she can buy a lot of wine to drink."

"She is still a rich person?" Lei Ye looked at this tree house which was only slightly better than Hephis's.

"I guess so. After all, her job is to..." Roxie paused here and didn't continue.

Lei Ye leaned in and smelled it. The wine had a cheap taste.

And the sour smell didn't come from here.

Finally, Lei Ye confirmed the source of the smell and slowly walked towards the small room.

Before I could knock on the door, Lorraine, who had just changed her clothes inside, came out.

Before Luo Lin, whose face was still full of anger, could speak, Lei Ye peeked through the crack in the door and saw something on the dirty sheets. It looked like a large plug. Before he could see clearly, Luo Lin had already slammed the door shut.

"What are you doing here? Get out of my house!"

"You are not sick," Lei Ye responded immediately, "Didn't you tell me not to run away? You also told me to stay at your house, so I am here, right?"

"Oh, it seems to be true," Luo Lin was stunned, then closed the bedroom door, "If that's the case, then I... Hey, it's not you who did it! You have no manners!"

Lei Ye wanted to open the bedroom door and take another look, but Luo Lin immediately slapped his hand away.

"Look at the bed." Lei Ye said casually.

"What are you looking at? Let's talk business. Where's the betrothal gift?"

"What a dowry. We're not getting married yet. When I really get married, let alone five big gold coins, I'll have even a hundred." Lei Ye moved his feet, crossed his legs and sat on the chair.

He was a little thirsty, but he didn't touch the dry wine on the table. Instead, he took out a glass of blueberry wine and sipped it.

In the past five years, Lei Ye still had the habit of frugality brought from his hometown, but after so many saves, Lei Ye has become accustomed to eating and drinking as much as he can without wasting food.

Seeing this comfortable rich man's attitude, Luo Lin was a little unsure. She softened her attitude a little and asked tentatively, "What do you mean? Are you rich?"

He did have money. When Lei Ye returned to Hillius, he took out various savings that he had hidden. Although he could not compare with the real rich people, he still had more than a dozen large gold coins, which were enough for his short-term expenses.

In addition, with his technical ability, he would never be short of money. This confidence gave him self-confidence, and this confidence made Luo Lin even more indecisive.

Lorraine sat on the other side suspiciously.

She sat down to observe the wine in Lei Ye's hand closely. There was not much entertainment in the tribe, and wine was one of the few things that Luo Lin liked. She could tell at a glance that the wine in Lei Ye's hand was very high-end and definitely not cheap.

"Can I have some of that drink you have?" She swallowed.

"Okay," Lei Ye handed it over, and when the other party reached out his hand, he withdrew it, "One big silver coin per cup, not expensive, thank you for your patronage."

"One big silver coin for one cup?!" Luo Lin was stunned, then screamed, "You are robbing me!"

"This is the wine I made myself. I'm selling it at this price. Others may not be able to buy it even if they spend money. It's up to you to drink it or not."

Anyway, if it is sold at this price, there will definitely be someone who will buy it. After all, this thing can be used as an advanced magic recovery potion, and the taste is also top-notch, so Lei Ye is telling the truth and it is not considered as robbery.

Lorraine was very annoyed, but also very greedy. After hesitating for a long time, she leaned over and snatched the glass of fruit wine, muttering to herself.

"Deduct it from the betrothal gift!"

Lei Ye was happy and let her take the wine away.

As soon as she took a sip of the wine, Lorraine's expression changed suddenly. No matter how stupid she was, she realized that Lei Ye was not lying. At least she would really pay a large silver coin for this sip of wine.

Her ability to think quickly flew away as she immersed herself in the intoxication of tasting the chef's wine for the first time.

Lei Ye looked at her and laughed secretly. This would definitely be fun.

"So you asked about brewing just now because you know how to make wine. That's great. Many elves like this kind of drink. You know so many things. Living here for a long time will definitely make everyone's life better. I have a feeling that everyone will like you very much."

Roxie said, then shrank her neck as she thought of something, "And I think you, Mr. Rayno, are a very good person, I hope you will like us."

Lei Ye turned his head and nodded and smiled at her, "Don't worry, I like you guys very much."

You can really rest assured. Lei Ye doesn't like fighting, and he has a feeling that this save file won't have any particularly intense conflicts, and it doesn't seem like a save file that requires fighting.

"That's good." Roxie glanced at Lorraine who was beginning to twitch and convulse, and sighed, "Then let's talk business. You are here to learn magic, right? If you want to start today, you'd better come with me to the training area. Every afternoon is the time for the teaching elders to teach magic. You can follow along and learn the three types of magic: wind, wood, and light."

She paused, "If it's other types of magic, you need to learn from specific elves, such as water magic. Aunt Lorraine is a master of water magic."

"Oh?"

Lei Ye raised his eyebrows and looked at Luo Lin. Subconsciously, he turned his head to look at the clothes that were still hanging next to him.

A master like you must have amazing skills.

"Didn't they say that elves only know three types of magic: wind, wood, and light?" Lei Ye asked.

"Generally speaking, elves are only more talented in these three types of magic, but there are exceptions," Roxie said, "For example, Hephis was not an elf born from a mother tree but from love, so she is good at fire magic. As for Aunt Lorraine, her teachers..."

Once again, Roxie's words came to an abrupt end.

Lei Ye felt really uncomfortable listening to such a stagnant speech.

However, it can be guessed that this Lorraine is most likely also connected with the witches.

That's easy to do. We haven't come into contact with many elves yet. Hephis and Lorraine both know something about witches, but their brains aren't very good. So we can start from these two sides.

Anyway, there is still a lot of time. Lei Ye smiled casually and began to find an empty space to make a bed for himself. He was already mentally preparing to live in Luo Lin's house for a long time.

That night, late at night.

According to the rules of the Tanefu Festival, all elves must go to bed early, eat and sleep regularly to ensure the quality of their bodies during the week before the festival. Even the guards must abide by these rules, and the elders will be responsible for the protection of the tribe.

This is actually the reason why slave traders always target Zhong Fujie, because there are no scouts at night, but this rule has been in place for a long time, and even if it is dangerous, it still has to be followed.

In the quiet night, the elders lit a candle and sat together.

"What do you think about the human being in the daytime?" said an elder.

After saying this, several elders looked at the second elder together. She was a person with the Elf Magic Eyes and could see at a glance the skills that Lei Ye possessed. Not only the super-level magic, but also the rollback skills that were not displayed due to their special nature, all other magic that could be used were also revealed, as well as various numerical values. All these things showed that Lei Ye was a humanoid monster.

In addition, the elders have lived for hundreds of years and are considered to be very capable people.

Some humans who came here were strong but inexperienced. The elders could see that those people came to the tribe just out of curiosity, but ended up having unpleasant experiences with the elves and ended up parting on bad terms. However, this human named Lei Ye was very interesting. He was able to make a patrol team leader feel good about him so quickly. This was not a good thing, but rather dangerous.

"First of all, I can be sure that if a fight really comes, none of us together can defeat him. We only have a chance if we ask the witches for help." The second elder said with a sigh.

The other elders all looked frustrated upon hearing this.

"The relationship between us and the witches is already unequal enough. If we keep asking for help like this, we will sooner or later become their vassals." said an elder.

"Yes, more and more capable elves have left the Great Forest. Facing the sudden crisis, it is becoming increasingly difficult for us to cope with it. Second Elder, do you think that human can be trusted?"

Faced with this question, the second elder was silent for a long time, and finally gave a positive answer.

"Yes, I even think his arrival may not be a bad thing. You know, what our tribe lacks most right now is male elves."

These words made all the elders subconsciously express their opposition.

But no one spoke.

Finally, many elders sighed in compromise.

"Yes. Male elves. Nowadays, it is not realistic to ensure the purity of the elves' bloodline. The most important thing is to ensure the continuation of the race. Even if it is mixed blood, we need some male elves instead of us."

The great elder, who had remained silent, interrupted her, took out the medicine bottles and distributed them.

"Let's not talk about taking medicine. It's rare that several elves showed the desire to give birth to offspring during this year's Seed Festival. Since we have made the sacrifice, we should try our best to do this well."

The elders were silent.

Then, he drank the potion he bought from the witches in one gulp.

A few minutes later, under the moonlight, the elders in gauze clothes tiptoed out of the tree house.

"Great Elder, I don't feel well." One of the youngest elders sounded uncomfortable.

"Don't worry. You have gotten used to the male organ in the past few months. What you are not used to now is just the energy potion. When you endure the insemination process, you will not feel uncomfortable. Or you will feel the exact opposite," the elder said, waving his hand at the other elders. "Check to make sure the light in the tree house is still on."

"Don't worry. Today's fruits and vegetables are all infused with trace amounts of sleeping pills. Unless they ate something else, they would have already fallen into a coma. Besides, it's already the middle of the night."

"Then let's get started quickly." The great elder said again.

The Elf Mother Tree began to sway slightly. Every five years, the mother tree would sway slightly like this. Perhaps it was some kind of signal.

In the past, the mother tree itself was able to give birth to elf children. As this ability gradually disappeared, such elves can even be called saints now.

Later, artificial breeding was required, and the relatively small number of male elves in the tribe took on this task.

That was the most wrong decision the tribe had made. First of all, male elves were born weaker than males of other races. Given that the gender ratio was already problematic, these male elves were not even enough for the elf sisters in the tribe to share.

In order for the mother tree to give birth to the holy fruit, a large number of seeds are needed. At this time, the elders will use various methods to force or induce them to give birth, and then throw them into the mother tree, even at the cost of using potions.

Most male elves died young as a result.

After this, there were no more male elves in the tribe.

But the race needs to be continued, and as a last resort, the elves asked the witches for help. That was a potion that the witches had developed in order to seek the continuation of the race, but in the end they gave up because of their dignity. They would rather die than turn into that ghost appearance, but the elf elders believed that if the continuation of the race was exchanged for the sacrifice of a few people, then they could accept it.

The elders found their respective positions and lifted up their skirts in an indecent posture of peeing by the tree.

At this time, a person passed by under the moonlight.

That was Lei Ye who returned after gathering intelligence at night.

After all, this place was very unfamiliar. After spending a leisurely afternoon getting to know as many elves as possible, he did not idle at night. He walked around the tribe, trying to find the entrance to the witch's house that Grady mentioned, but he could not find any trace at all. However, this trip could not be said to be completely fruitless, as he found a lot of large monster feces nearby.

This is not a good sign, indicating that there may be a dangerous group of monsters wandering around, which is at least dangerous to the elves.

Lei Ye could track the feces to find those monsters and kill them in advance, but Lei Ye did not do so. He just returned the same way while the moon was still bright. If the monsters really came to attack, he would take action at that time to earn some favorability.

And under this bright moonlight, he glimpsed the biggest secret of the elf tribe.

"Hello." He greeted a certain elder who remained in that stunned posture, then rubbed his eyes.

I rubbed it, opened my eyes again, and saw the same thing.

Well, you guys are awesome.

Lei Ye showed an expression that was not flattering. This was not his XP, but he would show respect.

He continued forward, walking around the mother tree, and soon met the second elder.

The elder was also confused, also stiff in that ugly posture, his face pale.

"Hello." Lei Ye continued to greet.

He walked along the way, made a circle, and greeted the elders by saying hello from time to time. Finally, he looked at the chief elder who opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, and sighed.

"You are this." Thousands of words turned into a thumbs up from Lei Ye.

Then, under the devastated gaze of the elders, he turned and walked towards Lorraine's tree house.
