Chapter 962: Falling Chess (I)
Orin Feather wasn't used to living in a city, let alone a human city - he left the day after he arrived.
Ed told the truth. He could also tell that Viorita didn't want a definitive answer.
Sure enough, Vioritta nodded and told him, "He went to see Murray before leaving." And after he entered the forest...... Soon he got rid of the elves that were following him, and did not return to his people in the Dragonthorn Glade. There were some elves in the hotel who thought he was very suspicious. β
Ed was a little surprised. He couldn't think of where Orin could go except the Dragonthorn Glade...... There's no way he's going to run back to the Antler Forest, is he?
"Did you ever think ......," Narya began, "something could have happened to him?"
Violita nodded thoughtfully, and left without further words.
β...... She's here to say these two things?" Ed wondered.
"No, she came to tell us that we were also the object of suspicion of 'some elves in the hotel'. I don't need her to remind me to know, but I still have to thank her for her kindness. Naria shrugged, "Murray isn't here, we better be careful - it's worth it to clash with those elves." β
β...... Is there a 'got?'" Ed asked.
"Gass-off!" Naria glared at him angrily, "Of course you don't know, they are annoying sometimes! This is obviously a human city, okay!, why do we have to ......" She suddenly stopped and shook her head, "Forget it, I won't tell you this, in your eyes, the elves probably don't hate it." β
"No, not really. Ed argued, "I just hate ......"
He searched his stomach and couldn't come up with a single elf to hateβat least not any elves he knew. Even Fei Rui, who used to be a little annoying, seems to be forgivable?
Naria scoffed and ignored him.
"They...... Didn't do anything to you, did I?" Ed turned to Fenway, who was standing silently in the corner.
The elves of the Starry Night Inn are loyal to the Silver Leaf King, and don't have a good look at Finvi as a Shadow Dancer - even if he's out of his organization.
Fenway shook his head, "They didn't find me. β
Wherever he stood, he could look like a shadow without any sense of existence, and it was not until he opened his mouth that he showed a hint of vitality.
It was he who found Viorita...... Because of the figure standing alone in the dark, there is an indescribable hesitation.
"Sorry for always making you run around. Ed smiled at him, "Is the Silver Leaf King okay?"
Fenwei hesitated for a moment before replying, "...... OK. I think he's befriended by the leader of the elves of the Antlers Forest. β
Ed was stunned.
"And you don't think the leader can be trusted. Iss saw through it at a glance.
"I ...... I don't know. Fenway looked down, "I just think, that elf...... There are too strong ambitions. β
Too strong to hide.
"Your king is not a fool," Isis sneered, "and he doesn't need you to do it for him." β
"He's saying, well, it's time for you to take a break. Ed explained to him, "Your face doesn't look good. β
The elf, who had been a little haggard from running around for days, blinked, and a smile flashed through his eyes.
"Ah......" Ed suddenly remembered, "I should have told Violeta about Novi." β
But she walked just too fast.
"What's that news?" Iss squinted at him, "and she'll probably give you a good look when he's back human." β
"She's been nice to me. Ed muttered. He had been flattered by the sword to his neck, and felt that Viorita had been gentle enough to flatter him tonight.
It's just that...... Does he really have a chance to bring her that kind of good news?
.
Tess held her chin and stared blankly at the stars. The stars didn't blink, quietly looking back at her.
The night in the Western Wastelands was so quiet that there was not even a hint of wind.
"It's so deserted. β
Tess let out a long, long sigh for the fifth time of the night.
She wilted and flipped the snake strung on the branch, and continued to mutter, "It used to be like this, only me and you...... Later, there was Xiao Mo. I've never felt lonely, but now...... I miss Sweetheart, I miss Ed, I miss Akan, I miss that awkward dragon. β
She stared at the roasted snake that was beginning to scorch, and her longing for Nalya grew stronger.
I had such a troublesome but lively adventure, and now it is a bit boring to travel so quietly and quietly that I can't even quarrel.
"I'm not saying you're bored. She comforted the little mongoose crouched on her lap, "Your sign language is getting better and better!
The mongoose silently bowed its head and looked at its little paws. Long, sharp, and very useful for digging and grabbing people, but with only four fingers, they are far less flexible than human fingers...... Tess can read its sign language, but it's really amazing.
"Tsk!" it replied with a raised voice.
His frustration, powerlessness, and confusion could not be seen by herβeven if she knew it.
Tess fell silent. When she finally gave up on the dead snake that had turned into charcoal, and threw it away with her hand, there were silent ripples in the air.
The mongoose stood up vigilantly, and had just suppressed the urge to scream as a warning, when two black shadows appeared out of thin air in the shadows on the edge of the fire, one of them strangely half-outstretched, as if frozen there, and the other had already drawn his sword with his backhand.
Tess pressed her left hand down, retracting the dagger that hadn't been ejected, and a big smile crossed her lips after a moment of consternation.
"Long time no see, my dear friend!" she greeted warmly, holding up her hands.
Rosa Latus took a deep breath, looked at them, then again, withdrew her hand, and said in a flat tone: "This is really...... Damn it. β
"Say what. Tess expressed dissatisfaction, "Where am I like a ghost!"
Sesyana did not put down the sword in his hand, his eyes were still vigilant, but his expression was also a little surprised.
"One moment I'm in the bazaar in the Castle Forest, and the next I'm running to ......" Rosa turned to look, the four fields were vast, dark and silent, and under the starlight, the distant mountains were just a vague line.
"It's ...... Ernest Wasteland?" she frowned.
Tess smiled and gave her a thumbs up.
β...... Well, if that's not hell, it's a dream. Rosa said.
Tess simply pounced, because she was short, she could only hug the other party's waist when she raised her hands: "Where can there be such a warm and sweet dream!"
Rosa finally laughed out loud and touched her head.
"Long time no see, Tess. She said, looking around, "You're the only one, and what about your elves?"
Tess froze.
It's really a ...... A question that I don't know how to answer.
