Redeem The Villain [Quick Travel] Chapter 19
byChapter 19 Talk about what’s on your mind
At dusk, the entire azure sky is covered with a layer of light orange.
Several clean wooden tables had been placed around the elves’ campfire. On the table were freshly picked fruits and steaming delicacies that had just been cooked.
Dozens of male elves formed a circle in the center of the flat ground. There were a lot of wood and hemp ropes piled in their hands or at their feet, which were necessary for building a bonfire.
The cabin on the other side was pushed open from the inside out, and the female elves all wore bright garlands on their heads. They gathered together, smiling, and holding a jar of a suitable size in their arms, which contained fruit wine brewed by the elves in autumn.
“Have you sent out your wreaths?” The elf said with a smile on his face.
An elf’s face was full of happiness: “Of course, when I gave Phil a garland, he was super excited and said he wanted to drink fruit wine with me.”
The elf walking at the end curled his lips and said aggrievedly: “I didn’t succeed…”
“It doesn’t matter. If you really like him, wait until the bonfire is lit and then ask him for a glass of fruit wine.”
“Will he drink?”
“How will you know if you don’t try.”
After a long while, the elf, who had not spoken yet, said cautiously: “By the way, have you heard about the mermaid moving in?”
“Is it true?”
“It should be true, but…I heard that he will live at Sol’s house.”
“Huh? Thor?! You can’t be the one who bullied him at the bottom of the sea…”
“That’s him.”
The elves were silent for a long time. They walked to the wooden table and opened the completely sealed jars in their hands. The fragrance of the fruit wine instantly filled the air, and a breeze blew the sweet and sour fruity smell to Lu Qinian.
The short-haired elf sniffed subconsciously.
It smells good.
Lu Qinian stood there and stared for a long time, and couldn’t help but think of what the patriarch said.
“Now most of the ethnic groups on land have gathered together. It has only been two days since we returned from the bottom of the sea, and many ethnic groups have extended olive branches and want us to participate in this matter.” When the patriarch talked about this, he became even more haggard.
Lu Qinian was silent and said, “Grandpa, what do you think?”
Elf leader: “Thor, what do you think grandpa should do?”
Of course he can’t confront the villain, but the elf’s identity doesn’t allow him to be too straightforward.
Lu Qinian did not respond, but moved his eyes to the leather box beside the elf leader and asked, “Grandpa, why haven’t I seen these boxes before?”
The elf leader shook his head: “You have seen it.”
“…”
Lu Qinian looked at it carefully for a while and suddenly thought of something.
The Elf leader did not wait for his response, as if the boxes were just decorations, and said slowly: “Thor, you have to understand that crusade is just an excuse for profit.”
After finishing speaking, the elf leader did not want to continue. He waved his hand for Lyle to enter the room, avoided the crowd and buried the box deep in the forest.
Yes, those leather boxes came from the mermaid tribe. To be precise, they were the finest pearls that only Alessi could use.
Putting this wealth in other ethnic groups would definitely cause a bloody storm, and the Elf leader did not dare to bet on such an accident.
Finally, Lyle took the wooden boxes deep into the forest and buried them.
It turned out that when he went out to collect colorful flowers, Alessi’s men had already visited the Elf clan leader, and it was no secret that they moved into the Elf clan.
His worries were completely unnecessary.
Lu Qinian left, and the sweet and sour fruit wine filled his entire nasal cavity.
In the original plot, Thor and the other orcs all died at the bottom of the sea, and the elves also participated in this crusade.But this time it was different. All the imprisoned orcs returned to their tribes, but the races on the land still chose to gather together to fight against Alessi. This time, only the elves did not participate.
Lu Qinian returned to the wooden house, opened the wooden door in front of him, and saw Alessi leaning on the wooden chair with his back to him, looking through the wooden window at the elves in the distance preparing for a bonfire feast.
The mermaid’s waist-length black curly hair falls smoothly, and a few strands of hair float slightly when the breeze blows. He is wearing a black shawl with a mermaid totem woven with gold threads. In the simple wooden house, he looks like a nobleman who fell into the slums, making people unable to take their eyes away.
Hearing the voice, Alessi slowly turned his head. The moment his cold, deep eyes touched the elf behind him, they immediately melted and became warmer.
“You’re back?”
“Yeah.” Lu Qinian walked into the house with a smile, “What are you looking at?”
“What are they doing? Why are they holding a bunch of wooden sticks and tying them here and there? Why don’t they just insert them into the soil if they want to stand them up? It’s very troublesome to tie them up.” Alessi turned around and continued to look into the distance.
When the bonfire is lit, it needs to be in a piled shape. The wooden sticks are easy to tilt, and the elves usually need to use hemp rope to fix them.The truth that everyone knows on land is strange in Alessi’s eyes.
Lu Qinian couldn’t help but feel soft: “It’s a bonfire. Today is the holy meeting of the elves. At night, the young elves will gather together to light the bonfire, sing and dance around the burning bonfire, drink fruit wine and eat delicious food together. You can also sit with the people you like and chat about what’s on your mind in this atmosphere.”
Sit with the person you like and talk about what’s on your mind.
Alessi was in a daze when he heard this. He had never experienced this kind of life. He had never seen a lit bonfire, nor had he had the opportunity to drink fruit wine or eat delicious food with others, nor was he with the person he liked…
Seeing the mermaid’s confusion, Lu Qinian asked: “Do you want to go and see it?”
Alessi: “…” I thought.
He opened his mouth, but did not make a sound, but the anticipation in his eyes was clearly seen by the elf beside him.
“I want to go. If you have nothing to do at night, how about you accompany me?” Lu Qinian smiled at him.
The elf’s blond hair turned golden under the setting sun, and his thin lips were raised and his eyes were smiling.
“Okay.” The response was almost a whisper.

In the elves, men all wear green and gray cloth armor. This kind of clothing is convenient for archers to patrol the mountains and hunt at the same time.Women have more clothing choices. Archers who need to go out for hunting on weekdays wear roughly the same cloth armor clothing as men. On weekdays, there are more cloth skirts and clothes dyed with flower juice.
After the treatment, Lu Qinian decided to go to the grandmother of the clan to buy some clean cloth clothing. Alexi’s clothes were not suitable for the elves to wear. With his black hair, it became even more obvious among the elves.
As soon as Lu Qinian opened the door, the mermaid guard guarding the door immediately lowered his head with cold face and shouted respectfully: “Holy Son.”
“Have you been staying here?”
“Yes.”
There is not much food in the house. Lu Qinian went out this time not only to buy some clothes, but also to prepare some food. After thinking about it, he asked: “Do you know what Alessi likes to eat?”
The guard’s face instantly turned pale, and the corner of his mouth was trembling as if he were trembling. He could only say one sentence for a long time: “Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Hi, I don’t know what food you like.”
He just asked, is he so scared?Lu Qinian asked again: “I don’t mean anything else. It’s just that the food types of the elves are different from those of the seabed. You should be his most trusted guard besides Lingtang and others, so you should know.”
“I, I really don’t know, Holy Son, please don’t embarrass me.” The guard’s face was pale, and his eyes kept looking back in worry.
“Forget it.” Lu Qinian stopped embarrassing him.
After thinking about it, I was afraid that Alessi’s bad achievements in the past were so scary that he would do this.
Actually, the Aleshi people are quite nice.
He was able to handle everything he said, and the progress of the mission increased at a fairly fast pace.
Lu Qinian exchanged Alessi’s pearls for some clothes, a few days of rice and meat, and then returned to the cabin.
The cloth armor and clothes were changed according to Alessi’s figure. Lu Qinian was taller than him, but physically he was thinner. After all, he lost a lot of weight during those days in the dungeon.
“Take it and try it.” Lu Qinian handed the clothes out.
Alessi: “Okay.”
The mermaid walked into the bedroom carrying the clothes. Lu Qinian put the rice and dried meat in his hands into the cabinet. When he and Millie exchanged goods a few days ago, he thought he would leave soon, so the exchanged food was not much and he was almost out of food.
He felt easily restless when there was no food, but now that he had some food in it, he felt much more comfortable. He closed the wooden cabinet and turned around to face Alessi who was walking out of the room.
The mermaid’s wheat-colored skin was tightly wrapped in cloth armor, her strong arms were outlined in tight and straight lines, and the muscles on her exposed calves were smooth. Even Lu Qinian looked at him in surprise, but he did not expect that the mermaid’s black hair would be more suitable for this outfit.
Thinking about Alaixi just now, Lu Qinian couldn’t help but laugh out loud: “You are thinking of the down-and-out noble young master now. You are still wronged by the elves.”
After all, they are really poor. Even if they search the entire elves, they may not be able to find a piece of clothing made of silk.
Alessi nodded: “The fabric is very rough, but it’s much better than what I wore in the reef area.”
The corners of Lu Qinian’s mouth straightened. He almost forgot that the life of the mermaid in front of him was far inferior to that of this place.
In that cold and dark stone cave, there was only a worn-out foam mat, and the only daily necessities were broken pots covered with rust piled in the corner.
Thinking about it, Alessi had only left the reef area for a few months, so before that…
Lu Qinian felt a burst of pain rush into his heart, and a sour feeling filled his whole body.
Is he feeling lost?Why…
Alessi moved the corner of his mouth for a moment and said, “Do you want to take me to see the bonfire again?”
