The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 262: The Holy Body of the Innate Elf Warlock
As a result, they set off before reaching a final conclusion. Although they still wanted to continue discussing tactics, if they missed the battle time, it would be putting the cart before the horse and not be worth the effort.

Zun Zun said with some relief: "To be honest, I thought the meeting would last a long time."

“Who would hold such a long meeting?”

"You don't understand, Subaru. You know, some anime can have meetings for 12 episodes. It's really annoying."

"…It's a shame that this is reality. Time waits for no one."

In order to avoid this, Natsuki Subaru suggested to Julius: "The spirit you brought can use magic to connect the consciousness of people within the range. Can it be used to communicate while moving?"

Julius was slightly surprised by his suggestion, and then looked at Ferris.

"Not little Phyllis."

"What isn't Phyllis?"

Seeing the cat man waving his hand casually, Natsuki Subaru looked at Julius curiously and saw him shaking his head.

"…Nothing. I thought you didn't know I was an elf messenger, so I was curious about who told you that."

"Oh, I see. This is the first time the term Elf Knight appears here."

Julius claimed the title of Elf Knight, which was information that Natsuki Subaru only learned during the last stage. However, there were few opportunities to surprise the other party, so he said proudly, "I am more famous than you think."

"Oh?"

"However, I will notice that you let the quasi-spirit secretly possess me. It has nothing to do with your fame."

"——Have you seen through even this?"

Julius's face was filled with visible hesitation. He probably had no idea how the man in front of him, who was grinning secretly and couldn't hide his smug expression at all, could have noticed his little action.
Took a deep breath.

"It is just as you said. I let one of my buds follow you. Yiya, come here."

He waved his hand and red light flew out from Natsuki Subaru's hair. She was fainter than the fire but warmer than the light. She was one of the six quasi-elves brought by Julius.

"The quasi-spirit of fire, Yiya. I ask her to possess you."

"That's fine, but at least tell me. If anything happens, she'll suddenly show up and scare people, right?"

"Don't worry, my buds are excellent. And there shouldn't be such an opportunity."

"No need to show off."

Natsuki Subaru curled his lips.

Being forced to take care of someone without your permission, even if it is well-intentioned, can't help but raise suspicions of surveillance.

Seeing this, Zun Zun suddenly thought of something.

"Julius, do I have the qualifications to become an elven warlock? I left in a hurry last time and forgot to ask Emilia, so I want to ask... Wait, what's that expression on your face? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Don't you have any sense at all?"

"……what?"

She noticed Julius's extremely strange look.

It's so strange that I would be accused of having no self-awareness. Although I often hear this sentence, it is basically never said to myself.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"How should I explain it... Never mind, I'll just give you a brief demonstration."

At Natsuki Subaru's urging, Julius dispatched all six of his contracted quasi-spirits, and then found that they all gathered in front of Zun Zun, looking like they wanted to get close to him, but didn't dare to.

"That's right. That's why I didn't let any quasi-spirits possess the body of Master Zunzun."

Julius exhaled lightly.

Right.

If you think about it carefully, after all, he was nominally sent by Anastasia to protect Zun Zun. No matter what, the first priority is to protect him. If there is no hidden secret, how could he only add insurance to Natsuki Subaru and ignore Zun Zun?

"So, what does it mean?"

Zun Zun took the initiative to touch these quasi-elves, and it seemed that because of his initiative, these little guys were no longer afraid and hesitated and came up to him.

You can feel their joy and excitement.

"In short, my Lord, you are particularly popular with the elves. If I hadn't suppressed them forcefully, they would have gathered around you like they do now. It can be said that... you are a natural born elf sorcerer."

Julius couldn't help but sigh.

You have to know that he has the blessing of seducing elves, which makes it easy for elves to like him or get close to him. He can even share vision and talk with elves.

Even so, I am still not as good as you.

——It’s the effect of the body of God.

Zun Zun sorted out all the causes and consequences in an instant.

First of all, there is no doubt that the reason why he is favored by the elves is the effect of the body of God. In this way, it makes sense why he was targeted by the Archbishop of Sloth. After all, that guy is an evil elf who has lived for hundreds of years.

"But why would the elves be afraid of me?"

"That's because you, my Lord, rejected them."

"what?"

Zun Zun was dumbfounded. He had shown rejection before and just ignored their existence...ah, that's it!
Natsuki Subaru also clapped his hands.

"Zun Zun is a beautiful girl, everyone likes her, but no one dares to approach her because she is too aloof. But in fact, Zun Zun is just not good at expressing her ideas. Under the disguise of aloofness, she is gentle and shy... Is this how it feels?"

"…This metaphor is annoying. Also, do you think of me as the heroine in your daily love story?"

I couldn't help but roll my eyes at the otaku who was talking nonsense and falling into the fantasy of the second dimension. Although what he said was a bit exaggerated, it was actually quite appropriate. Zun Zun scratched his head in distress.

At this time, Natsuki Subaru seemed to have thought of something. "Julius, under what circumstances will Iya be forced out of my body?"

“…I don’t understand what you mean by this question.”

"This is very important. Depending on the circumstances, it may be directly related to the strategy to capture the Archbishop of Sin."

Natsuki Subaru's straightforward words made Julius abandon his confusion in an instant and answer directly.

"Having Iya attached to you means that you, as the elf messenger, have signed a temporary contract with her. If you want to forcibly terminate it, you must either reject her as the temporary contractor, or..."

"Or is it?"

"A formal contract was signed that would override the temporary contract."

That was exactly the answer that Natsuki Subaru wanted to hear the most at that moment.

Julius's eyes lit up with understanding, perhaps because he noticed it while he was saying it, but he immediately shook his head to deny it.

"How can it be……"

"Eliminate the impossible. Whatever remains, no matter how improbable it may be, must be the truth! ... This is what a famous detective once said."

Zun Zun, who was playing with the elves, suddenly said this.

There are already two cases.

Zun Zun and Natsuki Subaru.

The only thing they had in common was that they were both very popular with the elves, and they had a high affinity with the elves. So from that point of view, the spare body - all the fingers, had the qualifications of an elf warlock.

Natsuki Subaru and Julius keenly sensed the key to the matter.

"I say, how can we resist being contracted in this situation?"

"Unless a contract is signed first."

"That is to say."

"You and my Lord, both need to become elven sorcerers."

----

According to Julius, no matter if the contract is signed by a great elf, elf, quasi-elf or micro-elf, as long as the contract is signed, it is an elf warlock. An elf warlock who has signed a contract cannot forcibly override the contract regardless of whether the other party is an elf, a great elf, or even one of the four great elves.

This is the rule of the elf world.

Natsuki Subaru doesn't care about any kind of elves, as long as the contract is signed, it will be considered a success.

On the other hand, Zun Zun has many choices.

"Whether it's a quasi-elf or an elf, you are free to choose whatever you want, sir, but I strongly recommend that you choose a micro-elf."

"What's the reason?"

Looking at Julius' serious expression, Zun Zun asked a question considerately, but he asked back:
"My Lord, do you know why quasi-elves are called buds?"

"Hmm... literally speaking, it means a flower bud about to bloom, right?... I see. I understand."

I couldn't help but clap my hands.

To use flowers as an analogy, micro-elves are buds waiting to bloom, while elves are flowers that have already bloomed.

Although the micro-elves (flower buds) are very weak, they have strong plasticity, which means they can be trimmed into the shape you like before they bloom.

The elves (flowers) that have already bloomed are completely fixed in shape, with no possibility of pruning at all. They can only continue to grow along the predetermined trajectory.

"In other words, rather than choosing flowers that have already bloomed and may not be to your liking, you should try to choose buds that can still be pruned, so that they will be more compatible with you?"

"…Mirotov is right. You are indeed smart."

“Why does that old Deng’s name appear?”

Zun Zun curled his lips.

It's as if the credit you have earned was taken away by someone who wasn't there.

At the same time, I also understand that it is no wonder that Julius does not contract elves. These quasi-elves that he continues to cultivate will surely become terribly strong and undergo a transformation when the flowers (elves) bloom.

"Of course, this is a suggestion. If you can attract the four great spirits, it doesn't matter if they don't match."

Julius said jokingly.

After all, the four great elves are already at the pinnacle of the strongest, so what's the point of talking about whether they are compatible or not.

Zun Zun, however, has a different opinion.

It is true that the four great elves are very powerful, but there are also some pitfalls - a typical example is Parker, who is the epitome of a phantom god in civil wars and a weakling in foreign wars. If it were a great elf like Parker, he would rather not make a contract with him.

"Once I've decided, I'll be the quasi-elf."

"May I?"

"of course."

If he thought so, he would probably be welcomed by the elves - Zun Zun had such awareness, but as Julius said, the flowers that have bloomed have no plasticity at all.

Moreover, the Archbishop of Sloth - the evil elf, is unable to occupy Zun Zun's body due to the elf contract, so there is no problem at all.

"Most importantly, Julius is doing this for my own good, isn't he?"

"...Haha, you are absolutely right."

The purple-haired knight saluted gracefully.

Zun Zun also discovered that this guy can clearly express his kindness when facing others, but he immediately changes his attitude when facing Natsuki Subaru... In fact, he is the flower of Gaoling, right?
