to execute a real estate contract.

Oh, yes. Most elf legends are.

The Aldric family
wished to buy a parcel of their land.
132
00:06:52,433 --> 00:06:55,561
And the Bragga family,
well, they wished to sell it.
133
00:06:56,645 --> 00:06:59,523
This was one of the oldest
and most valuable plots of land

00:07:19,918 --> 00:07:25,090
Both families signed in triplicate
and took it to the king for his approval.

Then disaster struck.

In those ancient days,
148
00:07:45,277 --> 00:07:48,572
it was treason to bring
an unfinished contract before the king.

He exiled the Bragga family on the spot.
150
00:07:51,533 --> 00:07:56,038
With the contract technically unfinished,
the king declared the plot...

The laws are much fairer now,
of course. [chuckles]

If a Bragga signs this contract,
their exile will be over.

But, unfortunately, nobody's been able
to find them for generations.

We keep our word.
And when we don't, we enter combat!
180
00:09:24,167 --> 00:09:26,086
[roars] Yeah, come on!
181
00:09:26,169 --> 00:09:28,547
-Combat! Yeah!
-[elves shouting]
182
00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:31,758
Aw! Adorable, yet fearsome.
183
00:09:32,426 --> 00:09:34,720
Please, it, it's just one signature.
184
00:09:35,887 --> 00:09:37,097
Hmm.
185
00:09:37,180 --> 00:09:39,808
What's your interest here?
186
00:09:39,891 --> 00:09:43,770
Oh, I'm just a good Samaritan,
trying to help where I can. [chuckles]
187
00:09:43,854 --> 00:09:44,730
No.
188
00:09:45,397 --> 00:09:47,441
It's more than that.
189

You're an Aldric, aren't you?
192
00:09:53,614 --> 00:09:55,949
Uh... yes. Yes, I am.
193
00:09:56,575 --> 00:09:57,701
[all shouting]
194
00:09:59,119 --> 00:10:02,247
Alfur, your family
tried to buy No Elf's Land?
195
00:10:02,331 --> 00:10:07,169
They did, and thereby
are responsible for our exile.
196
00:10:07,961 --> 00:10:10,172
Well, that's hardly a fair interpretation.
197
00:10:10,255 --> 00:10:13,467
You must suffer for your family's crimes.
198
00:10:13,550 --> 00:10:15,385
There must be combat!
199
00:10:15,469 --> 00:10:16,553
[elves shouting]
200
00:10:18,555 --> 00:10:23,435
You will not leave this land until you
take on all ten of our rabbit warriors,
201
00:10:23,977 --> 00:10:26,271
including Agnes.
202
00:10:27,105 --> 00:10:28,190
[hawks]
203
00:10:28,273 --> 00:10:29,900
[roars]
204
00:10:30,442 --> 00:10:34,029
[whimpers] But I don't even know
how to ride a rabbit.
205
00:10:34,112 --> 00:10:36,031
-Hi, Agnes.
-[Hilda] Don't worry, Alfur.
206
00:10:36,114 --> 00:10:38,367
Nobody takes our friend without a fight.
207
00:10:38,450 --> 00:10:39,785
Bring it on, you bunnies.
208
00:10:39,868 --> 00:10:42,454
Hold on!
Everybody calm down.
209
00:10:42,537 --> 00:10:45,874
Contracts always have loopholes.
There must be another solution.
210
00:10:46,833 --> 00:10:47,668
Give us a day.
211
00:10:47,751 --> 00:10:50,921
Let us see if we can find a solution
that makes everybody happy.
212
00:10:51,505 --> 00:10:52,547
Hmm...
213
00:10:53,090 --> 00:10:55,175
Your offer is acceptable.
214
00:10:55,258 --> 00:10:58,011
Also, if we succeed,
we want the blue nettle.
215
00:10:58,095 --> 00:10:59,554
Just, just a clipping.
216
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:02,474
Fine.
217
00:11:02,557 --> 00:11:06,978
But we're holding on to the boy
to make sure you all come back.
218
00:11:07,062 --> 00:11:08,522
That's all right with me.
219
00:11:08,605 --> 00:11:12,234
I imagine it will be safer
than whatever you end up getting into.
220
00:11:12,317 --> 00:11:14,569
I'll just stay here
with the invisible ant men.
221
00:11:14,653 --> 00:11:16,738
We are not ant men!
222
00:11:16,822 --> 00:11:19,449
Um, if you want,
I could make you visible to him.
223
00:11:19,533 --> 00:11:22,369
-It just takes a bit of paperwork.
-[all] No!
224
00:11:22,452 --> 00:11:24,579
[laughs nervously] Never mind.
225
00:11:30,335 --> 00:11:32,879
[mouthing words]
226
00:11:32,963 --> 00:11:34,965
You elves are thorough, aren't you?
227
00:11:35,048 --> 00:11:36,133
Mm.
228
00:11:36,216 --> 00:11:39,428
What are you all doing?
I thought you were out looking for plants.
229
00:11:39,511 --> 00:11:40,345
We were.
230
00:11:40,429 --> 00:11:43,598
But now it seems we're reviewing
a miniature contract for loopholes.
231
00:11:43,682 --> 00:11:44,766
Ah, I see.
232
00:11:44,850 --> 00:11:46,852
Oh! How about this?
233
00:11:46,935 --> 00:11:51,523
"An elf contract is null and void
if destroyed by the fire of a lindworm."
234
00:11:51,606 --> 00:11:53,442
So we need to find a lindworm.
235
00:11:53,525 --> 00:11:55,610
-Now that's an adventure!
-Mm-mm.
236
00:11:55,694 --> 00:11:57,738
They put that clause in every contract.
237
00:11:57,821 --> 00:12:00,073
It doesn't actually mean anything.
238
00:12:00,157 --> 00:12:03,994
Lindworms are very rare
and very paperwork averse.
239
00:12:04,077 --> 00:12:07,831
-Heh, it's like saying, "When cows fly."
-You mean pigs.
240
00:12:07,914 --> 00:12:10,292
Oh, no. That happens
with some regularity.
241
00:12:10,375 --> 00:12:12,210
Do we have any better ideas?
242
00:12:12,919 --> 00:12:15,464
So, where do we start looking
for a lindworm?
243
00:12:20,761 --> 00:12:24,264
I kind of hoped we'd be setting out
into a deep, dark forest.
244
00:12:24,347 --> 00:12:27,768
The library
is a forest for the imagination.
245
00:12:27,851 --> 00:12:30,353
And research,
the greatest adventure of them all.
246
00:12:30,437 --> 00:12:31,938
[gasps] I like him.
247
00:12:32,647 --> 00:12:33,940
Found it!
248
00:12:34,024 --> 00:12:37,986
Lindworms: Habitats and Hideouts,
volume 27, section 3.
249
00:12:39,821 --> 00:12:43,825
I love a good subject-based
classification system. [chuckles]
250
00:12:45,911 --> 00:12:48,914
"Lindworms are notoriously
antisocial creatures
251
00:12:48,997 --> 00:12:51,708
and most fled
during the construction of the city.
252
00:12:51,792 --> 00:12:55,837
At last report, only one lair remained
in all of Trolberg."
253
00:12:55,921 --> 00:12:57,589
Well, where is it?
254
00:12:57,672 --> 00:13:02,761
[Frida] According to the key,
the lair should be right here.
255
00:13:02,844 --> 00:13:06,890
-The lindworm lives under water?
-Uh, well, not exactly.
256
00:13:13,355 --> 00:13:14,481
[Hilda] We could swim it.
257
00:13:15,065 --> 00:13:17,818
[Alfur] Wait. I may have a solution.

00:18:51,234 --> 00:18:54,988
collecting
some unique, very exciting samples.
356
00:18:55,572 --> 00:18:56,739
Isn't that right?
357
00:18:57,365 --> 00:18:59,409
"Exciting" is a strong word.
358
00:18:59,993 --> 00:19:02,036
[whispering] Frida, show her.
359
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,674
Crab grass? Dandelions?
Purple thistle?
360
00:19:15,717 --> 00:19:20,346
I've been trying to get my hands
on some good urban flora for years now.
361
00:19:21,389 --> 00:19:24,767
I haven't been able to muster up
the energy to go back into the city.
362
00:19:24,851 --> 00:19:26,936
My social anxiety is just awful.
363
00:19:28,062 --> 00:19:31,191
Would you part
with these exquisite specimens?
364
00:19:31,774 --> 00:19:34,736
I'd be more than willing
to burn your contract in return.
365
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,113
And not devour us?
366
00:19:37,197 --> 00:19:39,616
Oh... I suppose.
367
00:19:39,699 --> 00:19:41,451
Can we get that in writing?
368
00:19:44,204 --> 00:19:49,083
Sign here, and here, and here.
369
00:19:49,709 --> 00:19:51,461
Very nice. Thank you. [chuckles]
370
00:20:02,931 --> 00:20:04,057
Right! We're all set.
371
00:20:05,058 --> 00:20:07,477
See? All the best legends
involve paperwork.
372
00:20:10,438 --> 00:20:11,856
David, we're back!
373
00:20:11,940 --> 00:20:13,858
I'm so sorry it took so long.
374
00:20:14,651 --> 00:20:16,319
Are you okay?
375
00:20:16,402 --> 00:20:17,737
Bartell did it.
376
00:20:17,820 --> 00:20:19,572
It's to keep the bugs out.
377
00:20:19,656 --> 00:20:21,658
You know, David is quite the young man.
378
00:20:21,741 --> 00:20:24,702
He has set the bar very high
for future hostages.
379
00:20:24,786 --> 00:20:26,371
Now, let me guess.
380
00:20:26,454 --> 00:20:31,376
You have failed to break the contract
and have returned for combat!
381
00:20:31,459 --> 00:20:34,003
No! Very much the opposite.
382
00:20:39,175 --> 00:20:40,635
That glow.
383
00:20:41,302 --> 00:20:42,929
Lindworm flame?
384
00:20:43,012 --> 00:20:45,598
Mm-hmm. The contract is broken.
385
00:20:45,682 --> 00:20:48,268
Your exile is over!
386
00:20:48,351 --> 00:20:51,271
[elves cheering]
387
00:20:51,354 --> 00:20:56,234
You can finally leave this place
and move into No Elf's Land.
388
00:20:57,151 --> 00:20:58,403
Oh.
389
00:20:58,987 --> 00:21:01,698
"Oh"? [stammering]
What do you mean, "Oh"?
390
00:21:01,781 --> 00:21:06,369
Well, uh, we were so angry
about being exiled,
391
00:21:06,452 --> 00:21:09,747
we never thought about
actually leaving this place.
392
00:21:09,831 --> 00:21:14,085
-The wall is our home.
-But what about No Elf's Land?
393
00:21:14,836 --> 00:21:16,045
I don't know.
394
00:21:16,879 --> 00:21:18,131
Do you still want it?
395
00:21:18,715 --> 00:21:22,051
Really? You'd cede
your ownership rights just like that?
396
00:21:22,135 --> 00:21:24,262
No contract, no lease, no anything?
397
00:21:24,762 --> 00:21:28,975
Well, we have our own way
of sealing deals.
398
00:21:29,684 --> 00:21:31,102
Oh.
399
00:21:31,185 --> 00:21:32,770
[gulps] Good.

401
00:21:40,445 --> 00:21:43,740
You're right, Bartell.
This is way better than paperwork.
402
00:21:43,823 --> 00:21:45,700
It is quite the spectacle.
403
00:21:45,783 --> 00:21:47,577
Is it okay if I have seconds?
404
00:21:48,703 --> 00:21:51,164
We'll have to recollect
all new samples tomorrow.
405
00:21:51,247 --> 00:21:52,957
But wasn't that worth it today?
406
00:21:53,041 --> 00:21:55,293
A day in which we were attacked by elves,
407
00:21:55,376 --> 00:21:58,755
carried by a water spirit,
and almost eaten by a dragon?
408
00:22:01,007 --> 00:22:02,300
Yeah, I guess it was.
409
00:22:02,383 --> 00:22:04,135
Oh, oh, Agnes is up.

Alfur, a toast.
419
00:22:27,450 --> 00:22:28,785
To contracts!
