These Elves were less than a meter tall.
The best of them was about a meter tall.
They were thin and small in size.
Occasionally, some of them were sturdier.
They looked at Klein with cold expressions.
Step by step, they approached Klein and the others.
Klein asked, “Are you all Elves?”
Klein asked when he saw the Elves surrounding him and approaching him.
Although they were large in number, Klein didn’t show any signs of nervousness or fear.
This was because Klein had learned of their personalities from the hints.
He wasn’t flustered at all.
The Elf smiled and said, “We are Smurfs of the Elf race. We have lived here for nearly two thousand years.”
Among the many Smurfs, a very old-looking Smurf walked out and said to Klein, “I’m already 825 years old this year.”
The Smurf patriarch spoke gently.
He could tell that Klein didn’t seem to have any ill intentions.
The Smurfs wouldn’t mistreat a guest who didn’t have any ill intentions.
‘So that’s how it is,’ Klein thought to himself.
The blue Elf patriarch asked curiously, “You said you have Sweet Fruits here? Can you let us take a look?”
As a Smurf, they loved desserts the most.
After so many years, although they had to rely on other foods to satisfy their hunger, they still loved desserts the most.
Klein knew this very well, so he caught on to their thoughts.
“Are you talking about this fruit? Of course.”
Klein generously handed the Sweet Fruit in his hand to the Smurf patriarch.
The other Smurfs were afraid that Klein would have thoughts about the patriarch, so they wanted to step forward to stop him.
But they were signaled by the patriarch to back off.
The Smurf patriarch smiled and said, “Please don’t take offense. A few days ago, some underground creatures came here. They attacked our race, causing them to distrust these foreign creatures. I hope you can understand. If we can sense your sincerity, they won’t treat you this way.”
The patriarch smiled as he explained to Klein.
“Alright, don’t worry. I came with a very sincere heart,” Klein said seriously.
The Smurf patriarch nodded and looked at Klein before carefully examining the red fruit in his hand.
A moment later, the Smurf patriarch said softly, “From the looks of it, it really doesn’t have any poison. It can be consumed.”
With that said, the patriarch put the Sweet Fruit into his mouth.
Just as he put it into his mouth, the patriarch’s gaze instantly changed.
Shock!
It was filled with shock!
He didn’t say a word. Just a look from him instantly made the Smurf clansmen hostile toward Klein.
They believed that Klein must have done something to the patriarch.
The patriarch turned to the other Smurfs and said, “Don’t treat a guest like that. There’s nothing wrong with this fruit. The reason why I’m shocked is because its taste is too sweet!”
The patriarch explained to his clansmen.
At the same time, he turned to Klein.
“May I know how to address you?”
“My name is Klein,” Klein said with a smile.
“My friend Klein, this fruit of yours is truly amazing. I’ve never eaten anything so sweet. After all, I’ve lived for more than 800 years and have eaten countless desserts, but this dessert of yours makes me feel like all the desserts I’ve eaten before have lost their flavor.”
The patriarch said this to Klein very seriously.
“That’s not false at all. You might not understand my character, but I never lie.”
“Then, do you have any more of this fruit? I also want my clansmen to taste it. Don’t worry, we won’t eat your food for free. As a courtesy, we will give you a corresponding reward.”
Upon hearing the patriarch’s words, Klein heaved a sigh of relief.
“Of course, I still have about thirty more.”
Klein took out all the packages containing the Sweet Fruits and placed them in front of the Smurfs.
“I can give all of these to you,” Klein said with a smile.
“Thank you, my friend,” the patriarch said to Klein with great gratitude.
Then, he waved his hand to the other clansmen, “Quick, all of you, try the taste of this fruit. However, there are a lot of us. How about this? Every three of us eat one Sweet Fruit. That way, everyone can eat it. Besides, I’m afraid that after eating it just now, no matter how little it is, the sweetness won’t decrease.”
The patriarch spoke to the other Smurf clansmen.
The Smurfs were sure that the patriarch was still talking, so they naturally went forward and took all the fruits. They automatically divided the fruits into groups of three.
Each group had a sweet fruit.
Then, they carefully divided the Sweet Fruits into three portions.
Soon, everyone ate the Sweet Fruits.
The Sweet Fruits tasted very sweet and quickly conquered the Smurfs.
The way they looked at Klein changed from hostility to friendliness.
“Thank you, Friend Klein. That was our problem. You’re much kinder than those guys we met before.” The Smurf smiled and said, “Your candy is really delicious. This is the sweetest dessert I’ve ever eaten. I’m so blessed to be able to eat this dessert. I feel like my life has been worth it! Thank you, my friend Klein!”
Klein’s Sweet Fruit soon made the Smurfs extremely happy.
The sweetness that filled their taste buds made them extremely happy!
After everyone had finished tasting the Sweet Fruit.
The patriarch walked up to Klein and said with a smile, “We understand your sincerity. Now that we have shown our sincerity, please follow me. Don’t worry, we will definitely not harbor any ill intentions towards you.”
Klein nodded, called Little Fox and Little Wind, and directly followed behind the patriarch.
The rest of the Smurfs listened to the patriarch’s orders and did what they were supposed to do. The remaining few were responsible for following Klein and the others.
Soon, the patriarch brought Klein and the others to a very tall tree.
The tree looked very old and was surrounded by green leaves.
Even in this forest, it appeared very secretive.
It wouldn’t be easily discovered because of its size.
The patriarch walked quickly to a tree.
He gently tapped the tree.
Soon, the tree’s door slowly opened.
A black hole appeared in front of everyone.
“Wait for me outside.”
The patriarch turned his head and said to Klein before entering the black hole alone.
Soon, the patriarch came out.
He was pushing a small cart in his hand.
Just as he walked out, the black hole behind him suddenly disappeared.
The Smurf patriarch smiled and said, “Now, I’ll create a prop that belongs to you.”
