Chapter 181 Don't come close to me

?Lathel didn't know what to say either. Yordle was just the name of a race that had a similar appearance to the creature he was seeing.

However, he only knew that name and race through a PC MMORPG game he played when he was still living on Earth.

Lathel never thought that there was a similar race in this world.

Cauldron explained: "Yordles are a race that looks smaller than dwarfs; they live in the forest, and they possess a special ability that allows them to possess natural energy and use it easily."

"Each Yordle is like an extremely precious natural energy stone. There are many people who view them as commodities; they are also hunted by magicians and adventurers for their hearts."

"Of course, a Yordle's heart has the same effect as a high-class elemental stone."

Hearing that, Lathel frowned. He felt that the Yordle clan was too pitiful. Although they possess great natural talent, it makes them excellent prey in the eyes of hunters.

He looked towards the Yordle girl and gave her a friendly smile. "Do you want to eat?"

Lathel asked as he held up the grilled meat. Seeing these, the Yorble girl opened her mouth, her eyes widened, and she nodded repeatedly.

But then the girl became cautious; she hid behind a large tree, stuck her head out, and stared at Lathel.

"Lathel, that is a strange creature; we cannot easily trust it." Claire shouted worriedly: "Don't worry, I will destroy it."

Lathel: "..."

He felt that Claire had a tendency to become violent. He sighed and said: "Okay, Claire, she won't harm us. Sit down, she's just a Yordle."

"Yordle?!" Claire asked puzzledly.

"Uhm! Yordles are..." Lathel began to explain what he knew about Yordles based on what he had just heard from Cauldron.

"Ah! I understand, but... What if she endangers us?" Claire still feels uneasy.

"It's okay, let's observe her for a bit, if anything goes wrong, we can still run away." Lathel said calmly.

Seeing Lathel so calm, Claire finally listened to what he said. But as she sat down, she glanced towards the Yordle with caution.

The Yordle girl saw that they did not do anything to endanger her, so she bravely thanked them and moved towards them.

"Huk!" The Yordle girl suddenly stopped walking when she saw Claire's murderous eyes looking straight at her.

That look seemed to say: 'If you dare take one more step, I will tear you into a hundred pieces immediately.'

Lathel: "..." ( ¬ _ ¬ ;)

"Okay, Claire, stop scaring her." Lathel sighed and said.

He looked towards the Yordle girl, smiled, and asked: "Are you hungry?"

When the Yordle girl saw Lathel, she felt a bit calmer.

Just as she was about to step forward, she immediately stopped and took a step back.

"Uck... uck... uck..."

The sound from the Yordle girl's stomach made Lathel laugh: "Hahaha... okay."

He stood up, prepared a meal, and then placed it about three metres from where he sat.

"I'll leave it here; you can eat in peace. Don't worry, I won't harm you."

Having finished speaking, Lathel returned to his original place, sat down, and continued eating. Upon noticing that Claire was still wary, he didn't know how to reassure her.

"Claire, don't worry, she won't do us any harm." Lathel reassured her: "Besides... you don't need to look at her with those murderous eyes, you're scaring her."

"That's right." Nina nodded and replied: "We can only live inside this forest, we cannot go further."

Lathel looked inside the forest, but there were many trees blocking his view, making it impossible for him to see further.

"Why are you so hungry? Is there nothing to eat in the forest?"

Nina pursed her lips and shook her head: "No, there are a lot of fruits in the forest, however... I... this is the first time I have eaten delicious food like this."

"Even if I die, I have no regrets."

Lathel: "..."

"Inside that forest there are no animals, and we cannot kill animals for our food."

Nina bowed her head and spoke pitifully.

"Hmm?!" Lathel frowned and asked: "But you just ate meat, is it ok for you to eat meat?"

"That's right." Nina nodded and replied: "Our race can eat meat, but we cannot kill any animals because we worship the goddess of nature."

Hearing that, Lathel nodded. He couldn't help thinking that perhaps the life of the Yordle clan was not complete.

He didn't continue asking questions, after all, he and Nina had just met, and he didn't want her to be wary of him.

Nina quickly finished eating. She then took the wooden box containing the meat and the porcelain vase containing the soup and left.

Before leaving, she thanked him many times, she even looked at him pitifully and asked: "Lathel... can I continue eating the food you cooked?"

"Of course, but I'll only be in this forest for 7 days. Maybe I'll come back to this forest, hopefully we'll meet again." Lathel said while smiling.

"Uhm! With these words from you, I feel very reassured. Thank you, Lathel, you are the best human being I have ever known." Nina also spoke happily.

"Hahaha... there are many people in this world who are much better than me." Lathel shook his head in response.

"No! I believe you are the best. Thank you, Lathel."

After she finished speaking, Nina bowed to him and quickly disappeared into the forest.

Watching Nina disappear, Claire glanced at Lathel and smiled.

"Hm?! What's so funny? Lathel asked confusedly.

"No, I am laughing because everyone knows that you are a good person."

He sighed and said: "I'm just being a little kind. I'm not a good person, I'm not a hero, don't think too much."

"I am still afraid of death, selfish, greedy, and, moreover, I really like beautiful women. It's very dangerous for you to be by my side. One day, if I can't control myself, I'll do terrible things."

Claire was startled when she heard that. She widened her eyes and looked at Lathel.

Lathel smirked: 'Hehehe... are you scared? If you're scared, stay away from me, otherwise, hehehe...'

Claire seemed frozen. She just stared at him and thought: 'He... he wants to do those things to me?'

'Could it be... Awww! He really likes me, he's not afraid of my lowly servant status.'

'Lathel, you are indeed very good. But... Lathel is having to restrain himself?'

'Should I help him?'

'If I say it, will he think I'm a bad girl?'

'But... I really want to help him.'

Lathel felt that Claire was not scared; rather, she seemed very excited.

She looked like a hungry wolf looking at a rabbit.

Lathel took a step back, keeping a distance from Claire: "Oy! You...don't come near me."
