I Transmigrated Into A Fantasy World To Farm And Build Houses!-Chapter 281: She is over a thousand years old
This leaf was as large as a palm, oval-shaped, and from the stem to the blade, it was the color of jade.
Eric could even see his own palm through the leaf; it was both exquisite and lovely.
"What is this?" Eric looked up in confusion, seeing Evan’s solemn expression. He guessed that this leaf was extraordinary, but he didn’t know its origin. Could it be some kind of rare magical herb?
He quietly sensed the leaf in his palm; a tiny leaf contained unfathomable magical energy. The magical elements around Eric seemed to be drawn in, gathering around the leaf. If he were to meditate now, the effectiveness would certainly double.
Evan smiled and answered:
"Every Elf, when born, receives the blessing of the God of Nature and is granted a companion leaf. This leaf is equivalent to our second life. If an Elf loses their life outside, but this leaf is here, as long as it is placed on the Sun God Tree, that Elf can still obtain a second life. Until now, this secret of the Elf race has been known only to you."
The leaf, originally light as a feather, suddenly became as heavy as a thousand pounds. Eric carefully cupped the leaf with both hands and hurriedly said, "You should take back such an important thing quickly. What if I accidentally damage it!"
His anxious expression made Evan laugh. Evan looked at him gently and said:
"You don’t need to be so careful. An Elf’s companion leaf is very durable; even high-level magic would find it difficult to destroy."
But to just tell him such an important secret, wasn’t Evan afraid he would tell others?
Eric was touched. He was a Snow Wolf, yet Evan entrusted the secret of an entire race to him, placing one hundred percent trust in him.
Such a big secret, besides representing Evan’s trust, was also a hot potato for Eric. But this was different from an object; once known, it couldn’t be forgotten. Thinking of this, Eric felt a bit angry.
"Evan, why did you tell me this? Aren’t you afraid that one day I might accidentally let it slip?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Evan smiled: "Besides this secret, I am also entrusting this companion leaf to you. Will you believe now that I have no intention of harming beastmen?"
Eric lifted the leaf towards him, shaking his head like a rattle drum: "No, no, this is your second life. How can I accept it!"
Evan reached out, but not to take back the leaf. Instead, he gently swiped over it. The leaf immediately shrank several times, instantly becoming the size of a little finger.
Before Eric could be surprised, he saw Evan take out a thin gold chain from his silver ring. With a wave of his hand, the leaf was securely fixed onto the chain.
"I leave this companion leaf in your care. If you encounter any danger in the future, it can protect you. Moreover, every Elf’s companion leaf is unique. Unless an Elf gives it willingly, even if others steal it, it will only turn into dust. If Elves come to cause trouble again, just show it to them, and they will not lay a hand on the Hadu tribe."
Evan moved gently to put the gold necklace around Eric’s neck.
Eric was listening intently to Evan, so he had no defense. By the time he intended to refuse, the necklace was already on. He wanted to take it off, but Evan gently held his hand:
"If you consider me an enemy, then take it off. If you consider me... a friend, then wear it."
Since Evan had put it that way, Eric couldn’t refuse anymore and had to accept his good intentions. It was just that the thought of Evan’s second life hanging around his neck made his neck feel incredibly heavy.
But besides this leaf, Eric was most curious about the ring on Evan’s hand. This must be the legendary spatial ring! It appeared so many times in novels, and finally, he got to see the real thing!
"Is this a spatial ring?" He asked curiously.
Seeing that Eric had returned to his normal attitude, Evan couldn’t help but smile.
"This is a divine artifact of the Elf race, the Divine Moon Ring. Besides storing items, it also has strong defensive capabilities, and when attacked, it can emit a signal for my kin to find me quickly. It’s just that this time I concealed its aura."
So the Elves searched for so long without finding their prince, and the main culprit was the prince himself...
At this moment, Evan suddenly laughed and said mischievously:
"Didn’t you always praise the pumpkin soup I made as delicious? Actually, I put ice cream in it. Food stored in the spatial ring doesn’t spoil no matter how long it’s kept, and I happened to have ice cream in my ring."
"..." Eric put his hands on his hips, looking at him speechlessly.
No wonder he couldn’t replicate that milky aroma in the pumpkin soup no matter how he cooked it. And then there were the handkerchiefs and hair ties of Evan’s that occasionally appeared; finally, there was an explanation.
Evan couldn’t stop laughing, but fearing Eric would really get angry, he took out several exquisitely carved small wooden jars from the ring. They were painted and looked extremely exotic, full of foreign style.
"This is ice cream. Didn’t you like the smell of it? I have a few jars left; I’ll give them all to you."
Eric hugged the jars of ice cream without standing on ceremony. Anyway, he had already accepted something more precious; it would be a pity not to accept such practical items. His dairy cows were currently drifting in who knew which sea.
"Then tomorrow I will take you to see your people. Their condition is fine; most are just exhausted. Only one Elf was unlucky and seriously injured, but I have already given him first aid, so there’s nothing to worry about."
Since he knew Evan was an Elf, Eric told him about the situation of the others so he wouldn’t worry.
Evan nodded: "That guy Pepsi, he is the most reckless one. If they hadn’t met you, and instead encountered another Snow Wolf tribe, regardless of which side suffered casualties, a great battle would have been unavoidable."
"That’s right. If Funa had come, this definitely wouldn’t have happened," Eric said with certainty.
"F... Funa?" Evan repeated with a strange expression.
"Yes, she was afraid I would be hungry and gave me lots of breadfruit. She is a good Elf!" Thinking of the beautiful, gentle, and kind Funa, Eric couldn’t help but smile nostalgically.
Evan hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping. Finally, he couldn’t help but tell the truth: "Actually, Elder Funa is a thousand years older than me... and I am already five hundred years old."
The smile on Eric’s face froze. He couldn’t recover for a long time, his soul seeming to have flown away.
A long while later, after a storm in his mind, Eric reacted and said quietly:
"You mean you are even older than my mom?"
And that beautiful sister... no, it should be beautiful Great-Grandma Funa!
Eric only knew that Elves lived long lives, but he didn’t expect their appearance to be so deceptive!
