    It was already late at night when Hugo and others returned to the ground. The soldiers' morale was high. After burying their fallen comrades in the ground, they lit up a bonfire and began to celebrate this crusade, which was not considered a success but was definitely fruitful.  , they have seen too much death.  "Johnson, report the battle damage to me." Gray asked while lying in the tent.  "We lost three warriors and two gunners when fighting the dragon. The elves sacrificed three archers, and the druids had no losses. When cleaning up the undead creatures on the seventh floor, the elves took a greater risk.  , lost 3 druids, 1 archer, we lost two warriors and no gunners were killed." Johnson held a list in his hand, listing the names of the seven warriors who died in the battle and their military exploits.  The amount of pension that is already due.  "We owe the elves a favor" Gray said with a sigh.  This time, the Forest of Elves has deployed almost half of its available combat power, and they are all elite combat power!  The loss to the elves is immeasurable and may have a great negative impact on the development of the Elf Forest in the next few years.  "We will only take one-third of the loot this time." Gray said.  "We elves don't need your mercy!" Edwin said in a cold voice as he opened the tent and walked in.  "Wow - Edwin, you recovered so quickly. If I had known earlier, I should have let Mercedes hit your little head so that you could wake up in your own bed." Gray rubbed his own  Temple said helplessly.  ¡°We are the people of nature, and this is my home!¡± Edwin said.  "Don't be so serious, I'm just telling a joke." In fact, Gray himself couldn't laugh. The loss this time was really beyond his expectation.  Maybe retreating when you find something isn't right is the right choice.  "I thought a lot after I came out." Edwin said: "Although from now on, it seems that we released a dragon that may become a threat. The ancient dragon crystal should not be just the young dragon.  The source of energy seems to maintain a barrier that prevents the monsters in the "tower" from escaping. The young dragon itself probably doesn't know about this, but we should also think on the bright side. In this era when magic elements are so scarce,  The living conditions of a young dragon that has relied on magic to survive since childhood should not be much better But think about the Metal King. Although his magic is very powerful, it is only in the "tower", but the real power of the Metal King is  "It's because of its strength, Gray!" Edwin glanced at the entrance of the tent intentionally, where Hugo was counting his gold coins, and the lost metal that became the topic was sleeping on Hugo's shoulder.  .  "We have solved a big problem in the future, in a sense. A metal king is absolutely difficult to resist" Edwin turned to Gray and said.  "Okay, maybe you are right, but I still insist that we only take one-third of the loot, but Hugo's share should be calculated as 50-50 for Johnson. Anyway, he has contributed a lot, and without him  Maybe we have been swallowed by the metal king." Gray said.  "Really? I heard that human flesh is sour, and I don't think it will like it!" Edwin said proudly, but he didn't mention the 50-50 spoils anymore.  "Are you serious? Do you want to fight for this kind of thing? I have to say that the superiority of your elves is really boring" Gray waved his hand, "Let me rest for a while, we will set off tomorrow morning!" Hugo said to  Gray was very curious about the red flames that erupted from his body when fighting the dragon. He asked Mercedes just after he came back and learned that this was the special ability of the Hunter family's ancestral fighting spirit - burning one's various emotions to obtain it.  It was a powerful force, but it caused great damage to the body. Even a body like Gray's had to lie down all night.  "Hey, Hugo! What do you want this dragon crystal for?" As soon as Johnson opened the tent, he saw Hugo stroking the broken multicolored dragon crystal with a silly smile on his face.  "Oh, hey! Johnson!" Hugo threw the colorful dragon crystal in his hand into the mouth of the lost metal in a panic, "It's nothing! Hahaha." "You can tell at a glance that you want to give this thing to your sweetheart.  Tell me, which family's lady is so lucky?" Johnson smiled and sat next to Hugo.  Ever since Hugo learned last night that the ring on Mercedes' hand might be a token of love, he began to think about whether he should give something to Cecilia. It couldn't be said to be a token of love, but at least it must be a token of love.  A decent gift.  Hugo immediately took a fancy to the ancient dragon crystal that was cracked by his shot. Although it no longer functioned as a magic crystal, the dragon crystal shining with colorful light was undoubtedly very beautiful, so Hugo  He exchanged half of the reward he deserved for this dragon crystal, which was a full 1,000 gold coins!  , although Hugo felt that it would be easy for him to cut this magic crystal.Yi can sell it for a higher price, the beautiful color, and legendary material will definitely be enthusiastically sought after by noble ladies and ladies, so Hugo thinks that Gray must have given him a great discount.  "Um aren't you afraid of being eaten by it?" Johnson and the Lost Metal stared at each other. This Lost Metal ate up almost half of their loot. The value of those magic crystals is definitely higher than those of Warcraft materials, and  It is also rare to have the opportunity to encounter so many monsters with magic crystals gathered in one place.  "There's no energy in this, it's not interested." Hugo patted the lost metal on his shoulder with confidence. The lost metal gathered together and made a face at Johnson.  "Hmm So which girl are you giving it to? Is it your first love back home?" Johnson asked with an embarrassed cough. Ever since Johnson knew that most of the magic crystals were eaten by the lost metal, he went crazy.  It seemed that he had a fight with the Lost Metal, but of course the result was a disastrous failure. The Lost Metal didn't even use magic!  It just turned into a fist and hit Johnson's stomach. Johnson fell to the ground and wanted to vomit out yesterday's dinner "Forget it, Johnson. Only you have your first love back home." Nearby.  One of the gunmen drank ale and laughed wildly.  "Hmph!" Johnson snorted uninterestedly and picked up a bunch of roasted whole rabbits next to the campfire. Just when he was about to take a bite, the loose metal stretched his body and pulled it into his mouth.  "You!" Johnson raised his fist angrily and wanted to smash it down, but after thinking about it, he sighed and punched the lost metal, and the lost metal spit out the branch in his mouth and made a face in response.  .  The night ended with everyone laughing.  "Let's go, Hugo!" Early in the morning, Hugo was pulled up by Gray who became lively again.  "Where were you last night? Mercedes." Hugo rubbed his eyes and got on the bus, and asked casually when he saw Mercedes.  "Oh? You weren't here last night?" Gray also asked curiously.  "I went back to investigate again, and it seems that I didn't find any traces of human activity. Maybe it was too long ago." Mercedes replied.  "Okay, we can go to the Elf Forest today to enjoy ourselves before returning to Big City, hahaha!" Gray said to the driver.  By the time Hugo and others entered the Elf Forest, Edwin and others had already arrived. All the elves were gathering in front of the Tree of Life. Priest Helena was presiding over the funeral of the elves who died in the battle. After the ceremony was completed, the elves who died in the battle were  They will be buried under the trees planted by the elves during the coming-of-age ceremony that year, returning all the gifts of nature.  Unlike humans, elves do not feel sad when their people die. They believe that the dead elves just return to the embrace of nature.  "Thanks to your help, we elves were able to eliminate the crisis in Efelk Tower. Is there anything you want? Children." Helena came to everyone and asked after presiding over the funeral.  "Lady Helena, we are here to drink! Hehehehe!" Gray said with a smile.  "Hmph!" Edwin, who was following closely, couldn't help but snorted when he heard Gray's request. Elves usually live a self-sufficient life and are incompatible with this world of rapid industrial development.  Fortunately, this time the priest had traveled on the mainland for many years, his mind was much more open-minded, and he began to make some changes to the elves.  It's like the wine of elves. In the past, only elves and species that gained elves' friendship could enjoy it, just like the Hunter family.  But Helena has now made elven wine the main item in the trade between elves and humans.  Of course, generally only human nobles can afford it - a bottle of ordinary elven wine costs a full 10 gold coins!  "A bottle of twenty-year-old wine for each person! Children, you all heard what I said!" Helena said to everyone with a smile.  Gray and others immediately burst into cheers. Twenty-year-old wine cannot be bought with money!  Then Helena called the three Hugos to the tree house to talk alone for a while, expressed her gratitude to Gray for his decision, and then took out a bottle of wine for Gray to give to his grandfather.  "I have to say, the elven wine is really delicious!" Gray looked at the bottle of wine that was going to be handed over to his grandfather with a look of fascination on the bus back to the city.  "Yeah! It's really delicious!" Even Hugo, who doesn't usually drink much, couldn't help but agree. The elf wine is full of the aroma of various fruits and flowers, and the taste is also excellent, with various fruit flavors clearly layered.  !  "If you want to drink secretly, hurry up and don't hesitate." Mercedes said unhappily as she saw Gray staring at the bottle of wine in his hand.  "Hehe Then I don't dare. How could my grandfather not knowLady Helena will ask me to bring him a bottle of wine" Gray said with a pity on his face.
