My Elf System - Chapter 90

Chapter 90: 90. A Goat.
Orion cracked his fingers as he stretched his body in preparation for what he was about to do.

His blonde hair fluttered gently in the breeze as he looked at the scene beneath his feet once again.

From the height at which Orion was hovering in the air, he could see everything that was going on in El’vendom {The village of farming and agriculture}; this was thanks to his Omnivision skill, which he had activated.

Unlike before when Orion could only see as far as his entire castle, now, he could see every single activity happening within the village.

His range of vision still had its limits because he couldn’t see the whole kingdom yet, but it was far better than how it used to be eight years ago.

“Oh, it’s showtime,” Orion said with a smile when he spotted a Wyrmling flying directly under him.

“Let’s have some fun,” He swiftly canceled the wind spell that had been allowing him to stay in mid-air as though he was standing on a transparent floating glass.

Now, he was falling very fast to the ground.

Orion continued to fall rapidly from his high altitude at a speed faster than the eye could comprehend. He swiftly conjured a large spear made completely out of ice.

He held the large ice spear and aimed it straight at the wyrmling’s head, killing the rank nine beast within the blink of an eye.

The ice spear pierced through the wyrmling’s thick skull, impaling the lifeless body of the rank nine beast as Orion and the dead beast continued to fall straight to the ground.

“Mehh!!!” Meanwhile, at the location where Orion and the dead wyrmling were falling straight to, a huge goat could be seen minding its own business as it fed on the field of grass beneath its feet, not knowing that Orion was currently above it and falling at a really high speed.

Also, there was a huge griffin hiding in the woods as it stared intently at its prey.

The griffin knew the huge goat hadn’t spotted it yet, so it hoped it could grab its prey as fast as possible before the goat detected it.

“Mehh!!…..*nom* *nom*…Mehh!!,” The goat continued to eat, clueless of the fact that it was being stalked by a predator.

Just like the huge goat, the griffin was equally as huge, and one could only wonder what a goat was doing here in the middle of a clear field.

The answer was simple, the goat was actually used as bait to capture the large griffin.

However, the elf farmers who set up the trap were unable to confront the griffin themselves.

The griffin was a Rank 8 beast, and this meant none of the farmers watching from afar could go against the beast.

“The griffin is getting closer to the goat. Are you guys seeing it?” A male elf farmer asked in a whispered tone as he noticed the griffin slowly closing in on the goat.

“I see it,” Another male elf whispered back.

“Me too.”

“It looks so big.”

“Indeed, and it looks terrifying as well,” Five male farmers were hiding in a dense thicket of bushes, watching closely as the griffin closely watched its prey as well.

“Do you guys really think this plan will work?” One of the male elves expressed his doubts.

“I hope it does. I don’t want to lose any more goats on my farm.”

“Me too.”

“Me three.”

“Me four.”

“You guys need to calm down and trust in the prince. Didn’t he say he’ll fix it? Don’t tell me you guys are doubting our prince?” The first male elf urged his fellow farmers to trust their prince.

“I would never doubt the prince, but we haven’t seen him all morning. All he said yesterday was that we should come to this specific spot in the morning and drop the fattest goat in this field, and then he’ll handle the rest. I’m just worried that whatever the prince intends to do might be at the loss of my biggest goat.”

“It doesn’t matter what the prince does; as long as the griffin is dealt with, I’ll be happy to lose one more goat.”

“That’s easy for you to say because it ain’t your goat. In case, you didn’t hear me out the first time. That’s my GOAT!!!”

“Will you two shut up before you ruin the plan? We’ll give you three gold coins if your goat dies, so keep quiet. I understand you’ve lost so many goats and sheep to the griffin and wyrmling that have been appearing in the village for the past few months. However, we have no choice but to place our trust in the prince. We wouldn’t be so dependent on him if all the other adventurers took care of the griffin and wyrmling before now.”

A few adventurers had been tasked with the quest of taking down the griffin, but everyone who tried to fight the griffin became severely injured.

Other strong and capable adventurers and mages couldn’t help the farmers because all of them were busy trying to conquer high-ranking dungeons and labyrinths, but when the farmers heard the prince was in El’vendom, they swiftly made a plea to him, and they explained what had been happening to their goats and sheep.

Luckily for them, Orion was in the village for something similar, so he assured them yesterday to take care of everything before it escalated into a serious problem for the kingdom.

The number of fruits, vegetables, and livestock in El’vendom had reduced exponentially from how high it used to be, so Orion decided to take matters into his own hands.

As the prince of the elf kingdom, it was his job to ensure the kingdom didn’t suffer from a scarcity of food.

The male elves continued to wait patiently to see what the prince would do, but while the five farmers were waiting, two female elves could be seen waiting a few meters behind the farmers.

One of the female elves was a little girl, while the other elf looked like a girl around the age of eighteen.
