New Century Kitchen Warrior

Chapter 195 Happy New Year
Walking out of Hephis's room, Lei Ye saw the elves busy, moving things around.

The elves' tribe is not very big, with only about two hundred elves in the entire tribe. Lei Ye only met four or five of these people yesterday and didn't even remember their names. At this moment, all the elves looked at him strangely, no longer curious and friendly, but curious and a little disgusted.

That's strange.

Let’s talk about it later. Lei Ye first followed Hephis along the edge of the tribe and came to a location nearby.

Lei Ye immediately noticed the uniqueness of this place. First of all, it was unusual to have a cleanly cleared space in such a large forest with such dense vegetation.

In addition, Nadori on his chest also became restless. She waved her branches in an almost frantic manner. Normally, Lei Ye could understand what she wanted to express through her expression and body movements, but this time it didn't work.

After walking around for a few times, Lei Ye had a strange feeling at a certain moment. A vague resistance stopped him but did not stop him completely, as if he had passed through a "membrane". He paused at that position, reached out to touch it, and felt the strange feeling of that space again.

"This is it," Hephis said, "It's called the Witch Technology Portal. Witches often come in and out from here. If they invite guests to play in one day, they will also let us in from here. It's amazing! I can't forge such a thing."

"It's really amazing." Lei Ye replied.

He had been poking at the invisible membrane in the air with his fingers, and for the first time he felt a strong admiration for the technology of this world. Originally, he was considered a "scientist" in this world, but now he found that there was no way he could imitate the things he had created, as he could not figure out its principles with his knowledge.

However, based on what Hephis said, this thing is the same as the radio in Hephis's hand. It is also one-way. Without the permission of the other side, Lei Ye cannot pass through this membrane and enter the witch's world.

This can be said to be the most indestructible defense, like the protective formation on the mountain in the immortal cultivation novels.

Just then, Hephis let out a sharp scream.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Lei Ye ran over hurriedly.

Hephis was not hurt and was looking at the radio in his hand. Lei Ye leaned over and saw a few big words written on it.

'There is a traitor, stop the transaction'

"I, I'm screwed! If my order is cancelled, I'll be completely penniless!"

Hephis screamed.

Lei Ye looked around. As soon as he arrived here, he was immediately discovered by the witches, which meant that this area was under surveillance.

He touched the invisible membrane one last time and felt a ripple in the air, like a soft yet hard wall of rejection. He pulled Hephes away.

The collapse of Hefeis is a small matter, just making money. At worst, he can become the new boss of Hefeis. Lei Ye will not let such a good kid starve.

The difficulty lies in the attitude shown by the witches. Lei Ye is not afraid of resistance, but he is afraid that the witches will not negotiate at all. Lei Ye did not find anything like a monitor at that location just now, which means that they can observe him by other means, but have not shown any willingness to communicate.

Lei Ye thought about it for a long time and gradually became less nervous. Since Greti had entered the witch's house, it meant that the witches were not completely hostile to outsiders. He just needed to work hard to show himself and let the other party know that he was "friendly" and "capable".

"Mr. Lei Ye--" After returning to the tribe, Roxie, who was looking around anxiously, trotted over.

After stopping in front of Lei Ye with a heavy breath, she raised her panicked face and said, "Oh no! There are trolls around and a scout has been kidnapped. Mr. Lei Ye, please, please help me."

This matter had nothing to do with Roxie. Her recent task was just to help Lei Ye integrate into the place.

But this morning, the Great Elder suddenly pulled Lei Ye aside for a private talk, so Roxie had nothing to do for a while. Then, she heard from her colleagues that footprints of a large monster were found nearby, so she thought about going over to see what was going on.

As a result, they were attacked by trolls.

The elven patrol could not defeat a small group of seven or eight trolls, so they had to flee back. Two of their companions were beaten to their knees and abducted during the battle. Roxie's other colleagues had reported to the great elders and asked for support, but Roxie knew that the elders would definitely give up on those two elves, so they only ordered the other elves to strengthen the tribe's defenses and wait for the trolls to appear again. This was the safest way.

Anyway, the elves abducted by the trolls will always come back alive in the end.

But it's just coming back alive.

Roxie didn't want to see her friends become like that, but if the elders were unwilling to help, the only person she could ask for help was.
She gritted her teeth, looking ashamed. Her mission was to protect and settle the guest Lei Ye, but in the end she needed the help of the guest Lei Ye.

But what she didn't expect was.

"Lead the way." Realizing that those were the footprints that were discovered last night but not dealt with, Lei Ye immediately agreed, even acting more urgent than her.

Good guy, I actually thought he was the kind of disgusting human who liked feet, I am such a fool - Roxie burst into tears in her heart instantly.

Then Lei Ye waved to Hefeis, "Go home and continue working. Just follow the drawings."

"But. But the order is gone."

"It's okay, I'll take it. I've been thinking about that blueprint, and I think I know what they are going to do." Lei Ye took out a small gold coin from his pocket, shook it, and handed it to Hefeis. "This is the deposit. Since I can't be your partner, then I will be your boss. You can rest assured and go to work."

Hephis stood there stupidly with the small gold coin in his hand, his stupid head still processing what Lei Ye said.

Lei Ye had already run away with Roxie.

As she ran, Roxie kept thanking him gratefully.

"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Lei Ye. I apologize for my previous attitude towards you. You are really a good person. Whether you rescued my two friends later or not, I sincerely thank you. I will also find a way to help you restore your image in everyone's eyes. After all, I know Xiaoya's personality. The emotional problems between you two will definitely not be like what Aunt Luo Lin said."

"What?" Lei Ye was stunned. "What did Luo Lin say again?"

"I heard that when you were talking to the Great Elder this morning, Lorraine and the elves spread the news that you and Xiaoya broke up," Roxie said with some embarrassment. "How should I put it? Although she didn't exaggerate much, most elves desire a lifelong love. Elves are always hostile to the opposite sex who break up with elves. So before I could tell everyone that you are a good person, Aunt Lorraine made your situation a little worse. I'm sorry. This is my fault."

A little annoyed, but it was nothing. Instead, it made Lei Ye feel less guilty about possibly playing with Luo Lin next.

"You elves can be faithful to one person? Then let me ask you, if two elves break up, what will happen?"

"This..." Roxie was speechless for a moment.

This question accurately hit Roxie's blind spot in knowledge, because the current elf tribe only has female elves, and in the education of the elves, women should be with men, and there is no reason for same-sex love, so most of the elves in the tribe are single from birth.

However, if one only yearns for love but does not practice it, he will be like a cook who has never eaten. He has beautiful fantasies about actual cooking. Before this bubble is burst, he will keep adding illusory beauty to this bubble. The moment it is really touched, the fantasy disappears and he will be disappointed.

Seeing that Roxie was speechless, Lei Ye just smiled and said nothing.

They came to the spot where the patrol disappeared.

It had been just over ten minutes since the elves were kidnapped. Following the footprints, they should soon find the trolls' cave. But even if they could rescue the people as quickly as possible, it might be too late for some things. Lei Ye also knew that Roxie was so anxious to prevent such a tragedy from happening.

"Do you know flying magic?" Lei Ye asked.

"Flying magic." Roxie looked ashamed. "Flying magic is a special type of wind magic. I'm still learning it and can't use it. Ah!"

The sudden scream was because Lei Ye started to take off his pants without saying a word.

"What are you doing, Mr. Lei Ye!"

"The situation is urgent now, let's go kill the trolls, grab my hand, quickly!"

"Ah, this, ah."

Oh my god, what is that.

What she saw at a quick glance shocked Roxie's heart, but she agreed that the situation was urgent. She covered her eyes with one hand and stretched out the other hand, which was grabbed by Lei Ye.

Lei Ye used a magic bomb to blast away the branches and leaves that covered the sky, then straightened his waist, causing the black magic armor to spin faster.

It's flying!

Roxie was shocked.

It turns out that the sex education she received was wrong. The organs of the opposite sex are not fragile and can even be carried into space.

In the dense forest, there was an area where the trees were shaking slightly unnaturally. Lei Ye quickly discovered the abnormality in that location while spinning, and then flew straight there.

"If you have any offensive magic, just aim and fire downwards." Lei Ye began to command.

"It's fine." Roxie cast magic while immersed in the shock of being carried away.

Among the three types of magic, wind, wood and light, auxiliary magic is the majority, and there are only a few magics with real destructive power. As Roxie's magic bombarded, the power emerged in the treetops, blowing up all the branches in that area, revealing the trolls who were returning to their caves below, and the two injured elf scouts who had no combat power.

Lei Ye controlled the Black Demonic Flow Armor to flow towards Roxie, wrapped her up, then let go, allowing the propeller to drive her slowly down.

Having lost his power, he took out a set of light armor in mid-air and put it directly on his body. This is almost impossible for ordinary people to do, but with Lei Ye's perception and mastery of space, he can easily change clothes with one click. He did not reach out to take the holy sword behind him, but took out the Thunder and Fire Sword with his hand, poured magic power into it, activated the magic drive device on the sword, and a majestic stream of fire sprayed towards the ground.

The propeller drove the screaming Roxie to a relatively safe place, and Lei Ye sprayed fire unscrupulously, and the reverse force made him fall slowly.

Considering that the elven scouts were still "hostages", the majestic fire curtain did not hit the trolls directly, but it still burned them so hard that they roared and could not open their eyes. In the firelight, Lei Ye held the Thunder and Fire Sword in both hands and fired it from the fire stream like a cannonball.

He spun his body in mid-air to adjust his position, and the blade slid through the bones of a troll, neatly severing its head.

Cut off the head with one knife.

It was so smooth that even Lei Ye was a little surprised. Just now, he consciously combined his perception of space with actual combat, and was able to see the enemy's weak points more clearly.

These trolls are actually stronger than the trolls outside. This can be seen from their stronger and larger bodies. Perhaps it is because they eat better in the big forest.

But even with a monster of this level, Lei Ye could no longer enjoy the pleasure of facing it. He could kill it in one second with just one strike. What else could he say?

But if he really killed him with one strike, it would not have much of a performance effect. Lei Ye glanced at the two elf scouts on the ground, who were staring at him with wide eyes.

"It's a bummer. This move is a sure kill. I was so weak but luckily I at least killed one."

Lei Ye knelt on one knee and began his performance.

He took a short breath and rushed forward again, fighting with the trolls. When he saw that the attack of one of the trolls was about to affect the elf, he even used his body to block it.

He was hit so hard by the big stick that blood almost spurted out. Then he remembered that he was a mechanical monster, and without the black magic armor, he would be doomed if he was hit by a few sticks from the trolls. So he began to gradually exert his strength, saying something like "Don't worry, even if your tribe gives up on you, I will never give up on the weak", and gradually turned the defeat into victory and killed the trolls.

Although his acting was a little clumsy, the stick hit the target solidly, which had the added bonus of blood. So when Lei Ye staggered with the potion to feed the elf scouts, the two elves were already moved to tears.

Lei Ye felt the words "Regional Reputation +2" pop up above his head.

He had just fed the potion when he heard screams from the other side.

"I can't breathe—I can't breathe—!"

Oh grass.

Lei Ye rushed over there and found that the Black Demon Flow Armor had tied Roxie up tightly as if he was playing a real latex play. According to the instructions, when it transformed into a propeller, it went to look for the small head but couldn't find it, and ended up automatically locking onto the big head.

Lei Ye stretched out his hand and let the Black Demonic Flow Armor flow back. Roxie rested her head on Lei Ye's arms, breathing heavily.

At the same time, she saw the two rescued elf scouts behind Lei Ye, and they looked moved and grateful.

Say it softly.

"This armor smells wrong."

Lei Ye was stunned and looked down at the armor.

Oh shit, I put it there before and now I put it here, does that smell right?

at the same time.

As Hephis was about to resume forging iron, the radio in his hand lit up.

There are only a few short lines of small text on it.

'Transaction continues'

'Five large gold coins'

'Exchange all the information about that demon man'
