"Pop~~"
The moment Hiccup pulled his pinky finger out.
It sounded like a wine cork being pulled out.
Anna looked at Hiccup with a wronged expression, then looked at the Night Fury beneath her.
She never imagined that this human in front of her was actually in league with this black Dragon.
In an instant, her face was filled with despair, ashen and lifeless.
Hiccup flicked her face with his finger and asked, "Dead?"
Hearing this question, Anna looked at Hiccup timidly.
"N-n-not yet."
"Dragon Knight Sir, you're not going to eat me, are you?"
"I really don't taste good. Eating an elf's flesh won't increase your lifespan."
"Those are just rumors, you absolutely mustn't believe them."
Hiccup did know that elves lived for about a thousand years.
But he had never heard of eating an elf's flesh to increase one's lifespan.
Immediately, he smiled faintly and said, "Then answer my questions as quickly as possible."
"How old are you exactly?"
Anna counted diligently on her small fingers.
"Three hundred fifty-two years, six months, and three days."
Hiccup: "..."
It doesn't need to be that precise.
"Then, having lived so long, have you always lived in Green Town? Have you been anywhere else?"
Listening to Hiccup's questions, Anna immediately became wary.
This human in front of her might try to use her to find the elves' homeland.
"But how should I answer him?"
"If I say I've been to other places, wouldn't I be exposed if he just asks two questions?"
"He'll definitely eat me then."
Anna pondered with a hesitant expression.
Hiccup saw her conflicted expression and casually placed her on the Dragon saddle.
Looking down at her, he said, "Why can't you answer my questions?"
"No, no."
Anna kept shaking her head and hands, her expression growing more and more flustered.
Sweat had already started to trickle down her smooth forehead. If one didn't look closely, it would be impossible to notice.
Hiccup's lips curved slightly as he said, "I won't eat you, so why are you so nervous and afraid?"
Anna was about to blurt out that humans are the most cunning.
The words reached her lips, but she quickly covered her mouth.
After thinking carefully for a while, she slowly opened her mouth and said, "Because I've never seen a human as kind as you."
Anna's thought was simple.
Humans are the creatures who like to be praised the most.
As long as she praised this human in front of her well, he would definitely let her go.
Hiccup, however, just curiously observed the little elf in front of him.
After all, it was his first time seeing such a magical creature.
Anna sat on the Dragon saddle, not daring to move, allowing Hiccup to play with her hair and wings.
At times she blushed shyly, at other times she was filled with terror.
Hiccup also found it strange.
Why, when he touched her ear, did her face turn completely red, like a cooked shrimp?
Subconsciously, Hiccup touched it two more times.
"Ah~"
Anna suddenly let out a cry of surprise.
Hiccup looked at her in astonishment, and Anna also looked at Hiccup with a flushed face.
One human, one elf, gazed at each other across the space.
"What's wrong with you? Are you afraid I'll cook you?" Hiccup asked, puzzled.
Anna didn't know how to explain it to Hiccup.
But she still waved her hand fearfully and said, "No, no."
Hiccup slowly withdrew his hand and asked, "Is it because of human capture that you've never left Green Town?"
"Then, can you use magic?"
Anna thought Hiccup was going to ask her where her homeland was.
But after she heard Hiccup's question, hope for life immediately ignited in her heart.
"Yes, yes, I can use magic."
"I can make withered flowers bloom again, I can make seeds sprout, and I can also help flowers spread pollen."
"If you take me back, I can definitely help you take care of your garden."
"Please believe me, I really can help you take care of the garden, please don't kill me."
Hiccup was a bit speechless.
Although she could use magic, it didn't seem to have much effect.
However, Hiccup had a change of thought.
Her magic would be a godsend for Berk Island.
But to verify the idea in his mind, Hiccup still couldn't help but ask, "Can all plants be magically stimulated by you?"
Anna quickly nodded in pleasant surprise and said, "Yes, yes."
"As long as it's a plant, I can use magic to make it grow more vigorously."
Hearing this, Hiccup nodded in satisfaction.
With the elf's blessing, wouldn't that mean that vegetables could be planted on a large scale on Berk Island?
Even if not on Berk Island.
Just in Green Town, the elf could play a huge role.
After all, looking down at the entire Green Town, one could hardly see any farmland.
Only in the manors of the nobles could one see a few scattered fields.
The rest were all gardens and labyrinthine forests.
But this was also the current situation in Green Town.
As part of the Northern Market, almost all residents of Green Town were merchants.
Since selling goods could earn them gold coins and food, why would they bother spending time and effort to cultivate farmland?
Hiccup carefully observed Anna.
Then he slowly opened his mouth and asked, "How much magic can you cast alone?"
"Will this forest be within your magic range?"
Anna looked in the direction Hiccup pointed.
The area Hiccup indicated was at least a quarter of the entire Green Town.
Now, under the threat of her life, Anna nodded with difficulty and said, "I alone can indeed cover this forest within my magic range."
"But that would exhaust my magic, and I would need a day to recover."
As she spoke, Anna cautiously observed Hiccup's expression.
Then he quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, I only need half a day to recover."
"It definitely won't delay your enjoyment of the beautiful garden."
Hiccup smiled faintly.
But to Anna, that smile was like a dagger hidden in a smile.
Perhaps the next second, his smile would suddenly disappear.
After all, having lived for over three hundred years, she had seen far too many humans in the forest.
And those humans living in the forest were one more cunning, one more brutal and bloodthirsty than the last.
That's why Anna had always been so afraid.
Meanwhile, Hiccup casually took out a piece of specially made dried fruit from his pouch.
The moment the dried fruit was taken out, Anna's eyes immediately lit up.
"What is this? It smells so good!"
