Chapter 149: Elf Maiden

Near San Lorenzo.

Outside the Elf Forest.

The Holy Knights surrounded a few people who were wearing mercenary uniforms.

Although the mercenaries were afraid, they understood that if there were any unusual movements, they would probably suffer heavier injuries.

Though their legs were trembling, they sensibly stood still.

They quietly waited for the Holy Knights to capture them.

When the elf girl saw that the bad guys were captured by the Holy Knights, she finally heaved a sigh of relief.

She looked at Monn and bowed deeply.

She said gratefully, “Thank you very much, Cardinal Lord! As well as the warriors of the Orthodox Church!”

After bowing to Monn, she bowed deeply to the Holy Knights once again.

Her attitude made the Holy Knights feel a little embarrassed.

They might not think much of it, but to the elf girl, this saved her life!

If she was caught by these mercenaries, she would have had to live miserably without a shred of justice.

Thus, the elf girl was extremely grateful to the Orthodox Church members who entered her abyss of misery to help her.

Monn looked at her indifferently.

Since they had already seen how the Elves actually looked like, Monn was no longer curious about them.

Mm, it was not much different from the imagination of the humans in his previous life.

As for the current situation, Monn was also very clear.

It was just that these mercenaries had seen an Elf, so they wanted to capture her and sell her to the powerful noblemen.

The compensation they would get in return was wealth that was enough to enjoy for the rest of their lives.

Although Monn had never seen such a thing, he had heard a lot of these stories.

Not to mention that there were so many fantasy works in his previous life as well.

There were many such scenes, and Monn couldn’t be more familiar with them.

Facing the elf girl’s gratitude, Monn only nodded slightly.

Then he said, “Since there’s nothing else, you can return to the Elves. We will deal with these mercenaries.”

Monn’s tone was calm.

Although he had successfully rescued an elf girl, Monn did not think of having any romantic relationship with her.

Furthermore, he knew about the Elves’ hatred towards humans, so Monn did not want to keep her here any longer.

Hearing Monn’s words, Ace was very happy.

This proved that her Monn was still the same blockhead she knew. He did not change one bit.

She wouldn’t be treated differently just because she was an elf.

But at the same time, she felt a bit bitter in her heart.

He was so expressionless even towards the charming elf girl.

This made Ace start to wonder if Monn was suffering from some kind of mental illness.

Could it be that he didn’t like women?

This thought suddenly arose in her mind, and Ace hurriedly shook her head.

She threw this thought out.

Impossible!

How could Monn not like men?

After all, she hadn’t seen him get close to any man.

Ace hurriedly killed this unrealistic thought.

Similarly, hearing the obvious look on Monn’s face that he wanted to chase her away,

The elf girl’s face instantly stiffened.

It wasn’t because she felt that her charm had reached the point where no one wanted to let her go.

Rather, she thought of the human mercenaries that she had seen wandering around the outskirts of the Elf Forest when she was running earlier.

If she went back alone, she might be chased by those people.

Thinking of this, her face, which was red from running, instantly turned pale.

Her fair and delicate little hand involuntarily pulled on the lower hem of Monn’s clothes.

This action stunned Monn.

It also stunned Ace, who did not expect her to do that.

But in the next moment, vigilance rose in Ace’s eyes as she stared at this elf girl.

If she were to make any further excessive moves, Ace might have to show her how dangerous humans could be.

Fortunately, the elf girl’s action was only involuntary. As soon as she realized what she had done, she immediately withdrew her small hand.

Her face, which had already lost its color, instantly turned red again.

Even her long and pointy ears turned pink, making her look very cute.

She hurriedly lowered her head, her fingers tightly interlocking with each other, not knowing what to do.

Seeing this, Monn said indifferently, “What’s the matter?”

His calm and cold words made the elf girl’s heart tighten.

She hurriedly shook her head and stammered, “No, no, no, no, nothing!”

“Oh,” Monn replied and turned to leave.

However, Monn felt the lower hem of his clothes being pulled again.

Monn stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at her quietly.

His eyes were calm.

The elf girl looked at Monn and felt a little guilty.

However, when she thought of the consequences of returning to the elf forest alone, she could only grit her teeth and say, “That… that… there are still many human mercenaries outside the Elf Forest, so…”

As she said this, the elf girl secretly raised her head and glanced at Monn.

Seeing that Monn was still quietly looking at her, her heart instantly tightened.

She hurriedly avoided his gaze, not daring to look at Monn directly.

But her heart was filled with anticipation.

Although her words did not spell it out clearly, the meaning behind it should have been understood.

There were mercenaries outside the Elf Forest. It would be dangerous for her to go alone, so could he send her back to the Elves?

This was what the elf girl thought in her heart.

But what Monn said next shattered the hope in her heart.

“Oh, in that case, let’s go to the human city.”

Hearing this, Ace stared blankly at Monn’s broad back.

There was a dull look in her eyes.

Go to the human city?

“Ah… this…”

The elf girl stretched out her hand, wanting to pull the hem of Monn’s clothes.

But this time, Monn had indeed learned his lesson.

The moment she reached out her hand, his footsteps suddenly quickened.

The elf girl’s small hand missed.

He walked in the direction heading to San Lorenzo.

The elf girl staggered.

She could only look at Mon’s distant figure.

Seeing Mon’s unromantic behavior, Ace was very satisfied.

With her hands on her small waist, she nodded in satisfaction.

Ace was very satisfied with his attitude of keeping others at arm’s length.

But of course, she couldn’t be like Monn who didn’t explain anything.

After all, she was an elf. One careless mistake could cause a diplomatic problem between the two races.

This kind of situation still needed to be handled carefully.

She walked to the elf girl who was so stunned she was questioning her own life.

She said, “Since Monn wants you to go to the human city, then you should go to our Orthodox Church first. Stay there for a while until we can find someone to inform the Elves and pick you up.”

Ace said calmly.

The elf girl who was feeling gloomy in front of her heard Ace’s words, and her eyes lit up again.
