164 Counterattack (2/2)

However, Roland ignored the elf's charm and was willing to let her go. Did it mean… Vivian couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts.

The elf looked at Roland with obvious distrust.

However, Roland merely looked back at her with a smile.

It seemed that Roland's attitude slightly reduced the elf's wariness. She said, ”Do you really honor your promises?”

”No, you need to honor your promises.” Roland nodded at Vivian.

Vivian stepped forward, and the elf immediately retreated, uneasiness returning to her face.

Vivian waved the bronze key in her hand.

The elf understood what they meant. She touched her neck, where there was a magic ring that constrained her and suppressed her natural magic power.

”I can give you freedom right now, so you are the one who needs to keep your word.”

The elf took a deep breath. ”You're very unique, human.”

Roland said narcissistically, ”I think so too.”

Vivian stepped forward again, and the elf didn't retreat again this time.

Vivian unlocked the elf's collar with the key, and Roland picked up the magic collar with Hand of Magic and put it in the Backpack.

Sensing that the magic power that had been suppressing her was dwindling and her natural power was regenerating, the elf stared at Roland with bright green eyes. ”Human, my name is Serrari. I don't want to tell you my last name, because I don't want to embarrass my family. So… What's your name?”

”Roland.”

”I need food and water. I need a safe space, preferably one with a big bed where I can take a good rest.”

Roland looked at her. ”It's very safe here. If you're unafraid of darkness, you can stay here, and we can offer water and food to you.”

”I've had enough of this dark, suffocating place,” said Serrari angrily.

Vivian smiled. ”If you're willing to trust me, I can arrange your accommodation for the next few days. Chairman Roland's manor is now empty. Dozens of elves can live there. That is, if they don't cause trouble.”

”A magic apprentice.” Serrari glanced at Vivian and then asked Roland with a mocking tone, ”You're very weak. Are you not afraid that I would run away after my magic is restored?”

Chuckling, Roland said confidently, ”That's why I said that you were the one who needed to keep your word. Elves are known to be the epitome of kindness, justice, loyalty, and determination. Give me a chance to appreciate your virtues.”

Looking at Roland's face, Serrari clicked her tongue and said, ”Cunning humans. Those who caught me and those who intend to release me are all so cunning.”
