Are you worthy of saving the world?

But in modern times, there are only about 100,000 elves left living in the Holy Tree Kingdom."

Stella couldn't help but interrupt Mr. Yuli's history lesson: "...So does this ancient history have anything to do with our search for a few elves who were tricked into becoming slaves in a casino?"

Yuri came closer and said mysteriously, "What I am going to tell you today is top secret. It must not be spread out, otherwise we will all die."

"Is it that serious?" The silver-haired witch looked unconvinced.

Yuri's expression was serious: "This involves the ancient history of the elves and their "original sin."

Stella couldn’t help swallowing and nodded gently: “Oh…oh, I see. I’m mentally prepared, go ahead.”

"Do you know why the elves migrated from Albion to Tiamat even though they hated having too much contact with other races?" Yuri asked.

Stella thought for a moment: "Isn't it because there are so many of them that the island can no longer accommodate them?"

"How can it not fit? Even 100,000 demon pigs can fit in it."

Yuri shook his head: "The elves announced that the reason for their migration was that they discovered the holy land of Elysium on the continent, which later became the Kingdom of the Holy Tree.

But that is not the case. The elves concealed their history. The truth is——"

"What's the truth?" The silver-haired witch swallowed.

"Elves are a race that only feeds on berries."

Yuli explained: "Just like koalas can only eat eucalyptus leaves, elves can only eat berries and nothing else.

Before the Second Age, they had eaten the berry trees on the island of Albion to extinction.

That’s why the elves had to abandon the island where they were born and migrate to this continent collectively—after all, if there were no berries to eat, the elves would become extinct.”

Stella: “…”

It took her a long time to come back to her senses: "What about the 'original sin of the elves' you just mentioned?"

Yuri said, "They were the ones who ate the berry trees on Albion to extinction.

In order to make up for the sins of their ancestors, the elves who settled in Tiamat gradually became environmentally mad people. "

"Wait, wait!" Stella suddenly thought of something, "What about the oath the elves made? What about their oath to never eat meat?"

Yuri sneered, "That's a character created by the Elf High Priest to establish the image of the elves as great and glorious environmentalists. They don't eat meat anyway."

"........."

After listening to Yuri's story about the dark history of the elves, Stella couldn't help but feel a little disillusioned:

Tsk...it turns out they are not as noble and perfect as described in the legend.

Just then, she suddenly thought of something.

"Yuli, the Elf High Priest you mentioned, could it be..."

Yuri nodded: "One of the oldest and most powerful sub-gods in the world, the youngest daughter of the White Night Goddess.

She once cultivated a variety of berry trees on the Tiamat continent that could produce unlimited fruit, and was therefore revered by the elves as the "Holy Tree."

"Eh...Is this why it's called the 'Sacred Tree'!?"

Stella suddenly felt very tired. Her beautiful fantasy about elves was shattered by someone in one day.

"At the end of the Second Era, she gave mankind the divine law and helped mankind establish what would later become the Tenli Church."

Yuli's expression was calm, without any emotion revealed in it.

“As the most powerful prophet in the world, she is the highest advisor to the Pope’s Office and the teacher and assistant of successive elven queens.

At the same time, the "Holy Tree" is also an oracle that spreads the prophecy of salvation.

It was the elf who chose the child of prophecy and gave him the name and surname "Ulyphis Falchion."

105 Son

"So, the Holy Tree is your mother? Were you raised by elves?"

Stella asked in surprise.

According to the social relations of witches, the person who raises a child is the mother.

If the "Sacred Tree" is Euripides' mother, then she is my enemy!

Stella secretly thought, I am Ulysses’ mother!

Yuli shook his head, obviously not wanting to continue this topic: "No, I was not raised by an elf, and I haven't seen her for many years...

Rather than this, let's get down to business and finish tonight's mission."

To put it simply, Yuli's clue was to investigate the circulation of berry products in the downtown area over the past month at the farmers' market.

Elves are a race that must consume berries to survive, so as long as slave traders still "offer" them as precious commodities, they must purchase large quantities of berries for the elves even if they are reluctant.

After that, Yuli and Stella went to all the fruit vendors in the market.

With Yuli's strong social skills and a little bribery, he successfully gained access to the fruit vendors' sales lists for the past month.

Yuli and Stella were busy until after midnight. By checking and comparing one by one, they finally locked on a very suspicious address.

This customer, called "Black Jack Club," has purchased more than 500 kilograms of berries from various fruit merchants at the farmers' market in the past month.

Looking at the name, Stella frowned in confusion.

"Is this a... casino?"

Suspected to be the hideout of the slave traders, the Black Jack Club is a casino, though not the one where the elves lost all their money.

However, considering that the elves became slaves because they lost everything in the casino, it is understandable that the next buyer who took over their business was also involved with the same industry.

Slave trade, casinos, brothels, illegal drugs... these businesses have been closely linked since ancient times, so it is not surprising.

Yuli let out a long sigh of relief: "The mission is accomplished, we can go back and report.

Give this address to the Holy Tree Kingdom Embassy and let them handle it... What's wrong, Stella?"

He found that his witch was a little depressed.

"Don't you feel very unhappy?"

"what do you mean?"

Stella crossed her arms and said, "We were busy all night, running errands for those arrogant elves, and in the end we only got some insignificant rewards. I guess they won't even say a word of gratitude."

"You mean... we should ignore the employer's request and rescue the elf slaves?" Yuli asked back.

Stella was stunned for a moment: “Well, I didn’t say I would do it to that extent, but… I always feel uncomfortable going back like this.”

Yuli pinched his chin and thought for a while, then chuckled and said, "Then let's go."

"what do you mean?"

"It's too early to go back like this tonight."

Yuli always felt that there was some unspeakable secret hidden in tonight's mission.

He was still upset because he only got an S score for the exploration of the Witch Night singularity.

Just tonight, I should mind my own business for once, he thought.

……

……

……

"There are two ways to infiltrate."

At 11:30 p.m., the master and servant appeared in the alley across the street from the Black Jack Club to discuss their next plan.

Stella complained that she was hungry, so Yuli bought her a hot dog, which she was now eating happily.

"The first way is to enter through the casino's back door or ventilation duct... Can you give me a bite?"

"No."

"Although there is also the drainage pipe as an alternative to the ventilation pipe, I don't think you would be willing to do that even if I wanted to.

First, we use the mapping magic of topographic survey to draw a three-dimensional map of the casino, and find the room or warehouse where the elven slaves may be hidden. After confirming it, we will enter directly through the ventilation duct. "

"What about the second one?" Stella raised her eyebrows.

"The second is from the front..."

"It's the second one."

The witch lady didn't even want to listen to Yuli's plan. She excitedly licked the sauce off her lips and crackled her finger bones.

"Let's attack from the front. Okay~ How about a competition to see who can kill more people?"

"Why do you have such dangerous thoughts?"

Yuli looked at Stella with disdain as if he were a terrorist: “When I say from the front, I mean disguised as a guest and enter through the main entrance.”

……

……

……

It is often said that the upper city and the lower city of the Vatican City are two completely different worlds, and this is indeed the case.

The upper town falls into a solemn slumber at night, while the lower town is a completely different scene.

This bar street located in the southwest corner of the lower town is also a microcosm of the dissolute and decadent lives of many people.

Although it was almost dawn, the people on this street showed no intention of quieting down.

The carnival noise coming from the roadside constantly hits the eardrums, as if the doomsday believers were celebrating the arrival of the end.

On the street in front of the Black Jack Club, a young man and woman stood side by side.

The man looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old.

He has a slender figure, delicate features, excellent temperament, and his long black hair is combed neatly behind his head, making him look more mature than his age.

The woman was a beautiful girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old.

She was wearing heavy makeup, her shoulder-length silver hair was curled into a bob, and she was wearing a super high-end fur coat over a figure-hugging short dress, and under the hip skirt was a pair of sexy red silk stockings.

The two people were Yuli and Stella, who were disguised as guests.
