Vera Beau, the daughter of the elven chief, was running nimbly through the forest without a care for any obstacle as she leapt and swung through the boulders and branches. This was the beautiful lady that led the group of elven archers into the fray in order to recover the kidnapped Spirit Guardians from the pesky humans. She was now running towards their village instinctively as she replayed her embarrassing actions over and over in her head.

"Ah! What have I done! I have just embarrassed myself in front of a... hero..." Vera muttered to herself as she hid behind her hair while running, the redness was still apparent on her face.

...

The group of elven archers could tell that Feihren was not actually their enemy based on the reaction of their lady. They immediately bowed in unison as they asked for his forgiveness. The adolescent spirit wolf was playful towards Feihren and the other elves, showing that this person was indeed someone trustworthy.

'They just apologized... after raining down arrows on me...? Damn'. 

Feihren could not help but think that an apology was not quite enough, even though he wasn't hurt or anything. But besides an apology, he guessed that there was nothing much he could really ask for in return.

He nodded a few times to these elves before pointing to the direction of the abused beasts.

"I think a few of those poor creatures are in need of healing magic and some nutrition. Please go help them already. Ah, and as for those people... I'll take care of them." Feihren glanced at Lady Caroline's party, which was aiding the injured beasts. 

'I guess they weren't really with the bad guys after all. Hmm, is that the reason why they didn't attack me when I showed up? Alright, then I guess I won't kill them...' 

Feihren thought about his pathetic punchline, yet somewhat cool entrance. Just the mere fact that he hadn't moved at all yet subdued three people would be enough to make up for the bad opening line. He nodded a few times due to satisfaction as he walked towards the group of adventurers.

Feihren's approaching figure caught the attention of the adventurers as they immediately stopped what they were doing and kneeled in unison. 

"""We apologize for what we have done, sire!"""

"We did not mean to harm these creatures! It was not something we really wanted to do... We are sorry!" 

The party of adventurers sincerely apologized to him, with Lady Carloine going a little further. Feihren had figured out that this group was separate from the group that had attacked him back when he first showed up. As for them doing such heinous jobs like animal poaching, Feihren could narrow down the reasons to one, money. This team of adventurers who seems to be well off and decent were still forced to do such acts, and as such...

"Ah, don't mind it. I just couldn't stand the 'injustice'. Although it saddens me to see that you people are forced to do such things... I know for myself that it is not easy being a full-time adventurer, so..." 

Feihren acted as if he was searching through the seams and pockets of his cheap clothing while he opened his Inventory and took out a palm-sized diamond.

Tossing it towards Lady Caroline, he continued, 

"I hope that this will be enough to last for a while. Please do take care, and I hope that our fates would allow us to meet again. By the way, my name is Gama Feihren. I am the king of the Wolfenstein Kingdom. Nice meeting you all."

'King?!? This person right here is a king?' 

The group hesitated in believing what Feihren had just said, and yet... The fact that he was extremely strong and the object that Lady Caroline was holding right now... It was more than enough proof for this man to be a king. He was a powerful wolf who was hiding in sheep's clothing!

The party of adventurers bowed deeply as they bid their farewells. Feihren threw a sincere smile at the party who was slowly disappearing into the forest. 

"Hmmm, they will reach Sechua City if they head in that direction... Well, I guess we'll see each other sooner than I thought." 

Feihren smiled once again as he went towards the carriages which were used to hold the wolves, and the group of elves who were still helping the beasts.

"It will be better if we move them to a place where we can provide better treatment for them. They need a proper place to rest at least." 

Feihren checked the conditions of the animals as he decided to do some of the healing himself. One of the Snow Tigers already had extremely low health as its breathing is getting slower by the second. Feihren still had over 30 million general exp on his status page. He had only touched it once for the repairs he had to do on the Demonic Carbine. Aside from that, all the exp he got from the clash at the eastern stronghold was still intact.

Green lights started swirling within Feihren's palm as he touched the Snow tiger and the other beasts that were also fading. It only took a few minutes before vitality could be seen again within the eyes of these beasts. Removing the cages and other devices within the carriages, Feihren carefully placed the beasts that were now resting within the carriage as he started pulling it.

'He can use, [Forest Healing Magic]?' A few of the archers were keen enough to observe that Feihren had actually helped the beast to recover faster. Some thought that the green light was just something to scan the beast or whatnot.

"It's best that I leave these beasts within your village, it would help them recover faster. I have heard that there is a special place in your village that helps for faster recovery?" 

Feihren instinctively said all these things. As for the rumor of that 'special place', he had only heard it from Marvin when they were chatting about random things one time. That guy was really fond of rumors and myths, but it seems that most of them were actually true according to Feihren's experience.

The elves looked at each other with a confused expression on their faces...

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself... I am Gama Feihren. I am currently the king of the Wolfenstein Kingdom." 

Feihren had guessed that they might be a little suspicious towards him as he hadn't yet introduced himself.

"Wolfenstein Kingdom? It has been so long since we've made contact with those people... It seems that they are under a better ruler now." 

One of the archers smiled as he checked Feihren from head to toe. 

"Although we do not have the right to allow any stranger to traipse about within our territory, we'll make an exception for now as you have helped us with the Spirit Guardians. For that, we sincerely thank you." 

Another elven archer that is somewhat old spoke up.

"Come, our village is not that far away from here. Although no other man could easily locate it..."

The old aged archer guided the way. The Spirit Wolf excitedly led the way as he jumped around beside Feihren like a playful dog.

Single-handedly dragging the carriage full of beasts, Feihren and the group of elves have arrived at a place in the forest with extremely thick fog. 7 of the old archers chanted some kind of spell which Feihren could barely hear let alone understand. The mist that covered the area slowly dispersed as a grand looking village appeared in front of him.

On the gate of the village was an old man and a gorgeous looking lady.

'Eh? It's that woman from before... Hope she doesn't start acting weird again...'
