Chapter 63: Method

Ethan's idea is very simple, that is, to use the [Falcon Taming] skill to recruit a few elves to guard the territory.

After all, there is no difference between giving one and giving several.

They look so innocent and pure, they are really good candidates.

Moreover, due to the characteristics of the bow mastery skill, other elves must learn it like Aphrodite.

In addition to guarding the territory, they must also provide additional magic tools, which will be a lucrative income.

Of course, the number of people cannot be too large.

Otherwise, as long as one of them has an accident, such as death, then the others, including himself, will lose the bow mastery.

Once the bow mastery is lost, if it cannot be replenished immediately, the tamed eagle will also lose control.

Although I can use skill points to regain the bow mastery, others will have to slowly rely on the [Usury] skill to make up for it.

This skill has a cooling time, which can only be used once a day. Although it can be replenished by [Quantum Fund] once for them, it depends on the force mortgage deposit.

This means that some of the Force will be stuck and cannot be used.

Obviously, Ethan cannot waste the Force on such a thing.

So, Ethan thought that he only needed to recruit three elf archers. If something went wrong, he could make up for it in one or two days at most, which was within his acceptable range.

Ethan also thought that if there were only three elf archers, it might not be enough to protect the safety of the territory.

It would be better to recruit some melee fighters, especially those who use long axes, spears and the like.

There is no need to have many people, one for each type, and then teach them the skills and expertise, which will not only make them stronger, but also cost no money to recruit.

Ethan made a plan in a blink of an eye, and now he just waited for Afulian to come back.

Let her go back to the elf hometown again, first to fulfill the previous agreement, and second to recruit two more elves.

Calculating the time, it will be the spring and summer of next year, so he doesn't have to stay in the territory all the time, and can free up his hands to do other things.

However, the idea is good, but things are a little beyond his expectations.

In the next few days, Ethan waited for Afulian to come back every day, but there was no news from Afulian.

Ethan had already sensed something was wrong, so he asked Little Yellow Hair to go around the Anji Mountains, but there was no sign of Afulian at all.

He asked Little Yellow Hair to look at the big tree where the Swift Blade Leopard lived, and sure enough, even the leopard was gone.

At this time, Ethan had realized that he might have been deceived by Afulian.

Thinking back to the days of dating Afulian, the other party had packaged herself as harmless, simple and ignorant since they met, including speaking and behavior.

But in fact, her words revealed some understanding of humans.

And he was attracted by her beauty and ignorance, and trusted the reputation of the elves, so he completed the agreement first.

Ethan couldn't help but smile bitterly, but it was just a bitter smile, and he couldn't say how upset he was.

Isn't it normal for this person to be deceived?

Who in this world would not be deceived?

I remember watching a high-scoring American TV series in my previous life, called House of Cards, in which even the president of the United States was fooled.

If the president of a big country is like this, it is normal for a little Karami like me to be fooled!

Moreover, to be honest, it can't be said that he was fooled. At most, it was mutual deception, because he also kept a backhand.

Although the skill of [Loan Shark] has no time limit, it can be actively added with a time limit. When Ethan taught Aphrodite the skill, he added a one-year limit.

In other words, after one year, Aphrodite's bow expertise will be invalid.

Originally, I thought that after one year, if there was no problem, I would change [Loan Shark] to unlimited in advance. Anyway, this operation was done in the background, and no one would know.

Unexpectedly, this backhand actually came in handy.

This transaction is equivalent to exchanging a one-year bow expertise for a [Duel Cage].

It can't be said to be a loss, but there is a lack of an assistant and the subsequent plan has been interrupted, which has some impact.

"So you've been lying to me from the beginning. I didn't expect that someone who looks innocent is actually so cunning. The elves are not as trustworthy as the rumors say!" Ethan muttered to himself.

He was standing in a tree hole at this time. This tree was the big tree that he and Afulian met at the beginning.

Deep in the big tree, there was a huge tree hole. Not only was the space inside huge, but it didn't need any heating equipment, but it was warm and comfortable.

It turned out that the land in the tree hole had its own heating effect like floor heating.

There were not all kinds of daily necessities in it, but they were all there.

There were two or three hot springs of different sizes beside the cave entrance, which were steaming.

Ethan looked at all this. Although he didn't understand why the tree could grow in a geothermal environment, he couldn't help laughing.

Although a traitor left, a treasure land was obtained!

Ethan's first thought when he saw the hot spring was to ask Angelina to take a bath together, and he really did so.

When Angelina saw the hot spring, both of her eyes were shining.

Without hesitation, they stripped naked and went into the water to play, and Ethan followed them.

Although it was snowing heavily outside, it was extremely warm here, and the hot spring water temperature was just right, so they were both so comfortable that they almost fell asleep.

"This place is so hidden, how did you find it?" Angelina asked.

Angelina didn't know about Aphrodite, and Ethan didn't plan to tell her. After all, being cheated was not a loss, but it was not very glorious.

So he said casually: "Little Yellow Hair found this place."

"Little Yellow Hair is really amazing. The shade of the trees here blocks out the sun, and it can find it even when flying in the sky." Angelina praised sincerely.

Ethan was speechless and could only smile awkwardly.

"By the way." Angelina said again: "Aphrodite has not been seen these days, and I don't know where she went?

If she knew there was such a place, she would definitely like it."

Ethan's mouth twitched: "Maybe! You know, these elves are always mysterious.

And you also saw Aphrodite doing things in a hurry, probably she left early for something."

"That's a pity!" Angelina said, looking at Ethan with a smirk: "If Aphrodite is here, you can invite her to take a hot spring bath together!"

Ethan knew that Angelina had thought of something wrong again, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, at least she didn't have so many bad intentions.

So he joked, "She wants to come with us, aren't you jealous?"

"No!" Angelina affirmed, "Ethan, you deserve more women, as long as you still have a place in my heart, I will be satisfied. I can assure you that I will not be jealous, nor will I do bad things, and I will always be loyal to you."

"I have high requirements for women, not just beautiful ones! Okay, let's not talk about this, we will go back after a while, there are guests coming!" Ethan smiled and replied.

When Angelina heard that there were guests coming, she thought it was another enemy and was immediately shocked.

"Why are you still soaking? Go back quickly, otherwise something will happen."

"Don't worry!" Ethan knew what Angelina was worried about, and comforted her, "It's a real guest!"

"Who is it? How can there be guests in such a ghost place?"

"You will know later! Distinguished guests! It just seems impolite."
