Hanging up, Leticia looked at Melanie. "Is Eriko okay?"
"She is safe, but when the bomb exploded, another girl was passing by. That girl was caught in the blast, and her injuries are a bit serious now," Melanie answered calmly.
A passing girl?
Leticia and Melanie both looked at the pale-faced Songstress on the side. Could it be...
"I think we might need to go together." After Songstress hung up the phone, Leticia said.
"Little Xi is injured; I have to go see her." Songstress put away her phone; she had just heard what Leticia and Melanie were talking about.
So, she knew that the three of them were highly likely to go to the same place to check.
"Then, without further ado, let's set off immediately," Leticia said to the other two.
But Melanie shook her head. She held down the restless Leticia, indicating that she could go by herself. "I'll have someone take you home. This is our business and has nothing to do with you."
As for the conflict between humans and elves, it's better for Leticia, the Demon Lord who currently has no combat ability, not to get involved.
This was Melanie's opinion.
"Your body hasn't recovered yet, and no one knows if those elves will launch a counterattack. I don't want you to get hurt because of my negligence." Melanie looked into Leticia's eyes and sincerely persuaded her.
The hot-headed adrenaline gradually faded. Leticia thought for a moment and felt that there was really no need for her to wade into these muddy waters.
To fish in troubled waters, there has to be fish for her to catch.
This Half-Elf had no utility value. As for Flora, that deity was indeed a reason that could make Leticia take action.
However, Leticia felt there was no need for her to risk herself. Having Luna or Kira go would be more reasonable than her going herself.
"Alright, then I'll have Luna go there to help you." Leticia nodded, accepting Melanie's proposal.
Just like that, the three girls split into two groups at the hotel entrance. Leticia took a car home, while Melanie and Songstress leaped directly into the air, rushing towards the scene of the incident.
There wasn't much to say on the way, except that Luna kept reporting the losses caused by the explosion to Leticia over the phone.
The place where Melanie settled Eriko was quite remote, even more remote than the residential area they lived in, the kind of place where you wouldn't see a living soul for ten days or half a month.
And to protect Eriko, Melanie had borrowed a few elite squads from the Hero Association and the United Government, personally commanded by her old friend, Cyclops.
This lineup, even if not an impregnable fortress, could be called foolproof.
For example, this sneak attack by the Elf Race did not cause any impact on our Miss Eriko.
The defensive force was quite trustworthy; the only problem was that an innocent passerby somehow suddenly appeared at the crime scene and, coincidentally, was caught in the magic bomb that the Elf Race attackers threw at the end.
Yes, this unlucky passerby was the heroine of Leticia and the others' previous conversation, the popular actress, the lead of "Love of the Forest," Miss Xi.
This poor girl was a purely ordinary person, and after taking that hit, she fainted quite simply.
After an examination by the physician accompanying the security team, she had several broken bones, and there was a strange magical aura flowing inside her body.

"It's poison. The Elf Race are masters of using poison, and the poison Miss Xi has been struck by is a very potent one." After arriving, Luna saw at a glance just how unlucky Miss Xi really was.
This wasn't just physical suffering; if not handled well, the person might be done for.
This kind of poison was used by the Elf Race on the battlefield to fight against Espers of the Human Race. For an ordinary person, the threat was super, super huge.
"Three days. With Candice's help, we can only hold on for three days." After communicating with Candice, Luna gave Leticia a timeframe. "After three days, there will be no turning back."
"Did you tell that York person and that Songstress the news?" Leticia saw the increasingly clear neighborhood gate; she was almost home.
"I did."
"Good. Does Candice have no way to detoxify?"
"Of course there is. Before every fight with the Elf Race, we prepare antidotes." The person answering Leticia's question was Candice, who was waiting downstairs to welcome the Empress back. She adjusted her monocle and explained, "But that's for us to use. If used on an ordinary human, I can't guarantee the results."
As she spoke, she reached out and helped Leticia out of the car.
Whether intentional or accidental, Leticia's arm happened to sink into Candice's two massive, wicked lumps, causing this innocent Empress to blush.
Candice's are just too big and too soft.
This kind of development clearly exceeds the standard, right?
Shaking her head vigorously to clear those strange thoughts from her mind, Leticia continued to ask, "Is there any other way to detoxify?"
"Yes, there is. The Elf Race definitely has the antidote. While there are poisons without antidotes, it's impossible for that to appear in a place like this." Candice indicated that there was an antidote, but since it was in the hands of the elves, it was generally impossible to obtain.
"So, we have to find the elf who caused this trouble?"
"Correct." Candice helped Leticia walk into the room.
Kira was actually at home today, but seeing the girl looking frazzled at the desk, Leticia decided it was better not to disturb her sister.
"What I can do now is suppress the poison, but the suppression can only last for three days at most. After three days, I can only feed that girl our Demon Race's antidote. Whether she lives or dies depends on her luck."
"Don't humans have an antidote?" Leticia asked curiously. Why did it feel like humans were helpless against the Elf Race's poison?
"I don't know about that. They probably have one, but how would I know if they actually do?" Candice stated that she was the Royal Physician of the Demon Race, and she really couldn't figure out human affairs.
Oh, I see. Leticia indicated she understood.
Then, she planned to rest for a while.
What? That poisoned girl on the verge of death?
Please, she was poisoned by an elf, and she is a human. What the hell does her life or death have to do with Leticia, a Demon King here on vacation?
Leticia took care of Eriko because that was the purpose of her visit, and because of Flora's request in a dream.
But this Miss Xi, Leticia had only seen her on the big screen.
Although she was very beautiful, Leticia wasn't the kind of shallow girl who couldn't walk when seeing a pretty woman.
Whether Miss Xi lives or dies has absolutely nothing to do with Leticia. She already had Candice suppress the poison for three days; that was generous enough, okay?
When Melanie returned, it was already late at night. Leticia had already finished washing up and was sitting on the bed in her pajamas, looking at something.
The current Melanie was much more restrained when entering Leticia's bedroom; at the very least, she would knock on the door outside and ask first.
Of course, the main reason was that there was now one more person in Leticia's house, and that person didn't have a good impression of Melanie. Since Leticia was quite obedient to that person, Melanie felt that if she continued to be as unscrupulous as before, she might have to pay a heavy price later.
"Yo, what's the result?" Waiting for Melanie to pull a chair to the bedside and sit down, Leticia closed her book and asked.
"Little Xi's situation is not very optimistic. The Songstress is already looking everywhere for a way to detoxify Little Xi." Melanie shook her head.
