Chapter 829: Tess and Her Elves (Part I)

From time to time, Naria felt that of the three, two and a dragon, she might be the most reliable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Sure, she doesn't have any natural strength or God-given strength, but she has always been purposeful and determined...... At least most of the time, they don't change their minds every three days, or they are inexplicably moody, and they make all kinds of awkward things all day long like a child who doesn't grow up...... It was very tiring.

When I hurried back home, that feeling became even stronger. She had been gone for a short while, and it was clear that something had gone wrong between Iss and Ed. Maybe she shouldn't have been in such a hurry to leave...... There should be no hope that they will be able to resolve any conflict as well as two adults.

They tried to act as if nothing had happened, but Naria could tell at a glance that Ed was quieter than usual, pitifully clinging to Is's side like a puppy fearing that he would be abandoned, circling around him, and Is, who was clearly more irritable, tolerated his actions with greater patience and kicked him away without being annoyed......

Definitely problematic.

But she didn't bother with it, because the bigger problem lay before her—Tess was gone.

“...... I told you to keep an eye on her. ”

Naria struggled to keep her composure.

Ed bowed his head with guilt, and Iss twisted his head to the side with a cold face, and no one dared to look at her directly.

...... They didn't hear it at all.

Naria thought to herself, frustrated.

There's been a lot of going wrong with Tess lately. She doesn't talk much, she is always in a daze, and she snubbs Xiao Mo intentionally or unintentionally...... Norway. And this time, she didn't even take Norvi with her and disappeared - a big problem.

The little mongoose was sitting on the edge of the window with her head down, her little paws hanging on her sides, and even the fur on her body seemed to have lost its luster, so that Nalya couldn't bear to ask him what had happened.

“...... Never mind. She said, scurrying up the stairs and pushing open the window in the hallway, the probe shouted, "Lovina!"

The window of the small building opposite opened, and a middle-aged woman with still charm was smiling and waving at her on the windowsill.

"Where's Tess?" asked Naria bluntly.

"I thought you wouldn't ask. Lovina ruffled her long colored hair, "She's heading west, and Robbie is following her...... Although not necessarily eye-catching, the little girl was a notoriously slippery old man in Stonebuge. ”

That's what Naria was worried about.

The corners of her skirt were ripped off. Naria lowered her head and watched as the little mongoose gestured to her.

"Can you find her?" Narya guessed purely.

The little mongoose nodded, her expression gloomy and determined.

Nalya leaned over to pick it up, and the wind rushed down the stairs.

"Follow me!" she shouted at the two guys who were still standing there.

No matter what the hell they were messing with, her instincts told her...... She'll be able to use them.

Tess wandered in the dark.

The stairs go up and down, as if there is no end. She can barely see anything, but she doesn't get disoriented or tripped...... There was only one way, and she was walking too slowly.

Not to mention that she has walked this path...... Someone took her down the road.

The hidden memories are like a reef on the shore, revealing little by little when the tide recedes, and the fog is like a monster that eats people...... She remembered that she was held in her arms, and she looked around with fear and curiosity, watching the mountains of gems circulate, watching rusty armor and weapons rot in silence, looking at the white bones on the ground, and hearing a low moan from nowhere...... But he didn't dare to speak out.

She probably instinctively knew that the warm arms that held her belonged to a real monster.

She thought she had picked up a wounded elf in the sewers...... She had always thought so, but that wasn't all.

She forgot that the elf, who had almost lost her breath, opened her eyes the moment she touched him, and her green eyes were so dark that they were bottomless.

But she wasn't scared.

"Are you going to die?" she asked him, then comforted him, "That's not a big deal, we're all going to die." ”

Mother will die, father will die, she will die...... No big deal.

The elf looked at her for a moment, then smiled slightly. His smile was cold, for some reason, but there was a hint of sunshine...... It's like a little hope in the dying throes.

Then he picked her up, his arms warm and strong, completely devoid of the dying weakness of the previous moment, and carried her all the way into this place ruled by eternal darkness.

Three-storied pagoda.

A series of stairs finally climbed to the top. She walked into an empty hall and listened to the sound of her own light footsteps shaking the air slightly. The enclosed space has the smell of a stale, forgotten time, almost exactly as it is remembered.

She found the stone throne, groped with the intricate carvings, stood for a long time, and then sat down silently.

She knew that Rosa had been here, but she hadn't had a chance to talk to her about it, denying that she might have remembered that she had been here too...... A long, long time ago.

She was placed on the throne because it was the only place in the entire hall where she could sit. The cold stone made her uncomfortable, and she kept moving back and forth.

Now she can tolerate the discomfort...... She didn't notice it at all. She just sat there, not knowing what to do.

For so long, the elf she liked...... Who is her elf?

"Why are you here?"

In the darkness, she heard someone ask softly.

She looked up. The soft light gradually brightened up like the sun at dawn. The light fell on the elf's bundled blonde hair...... It's still so splendid.

Tess looked at him in a daze, unable to make a sound.

She came here, perhaps because she knew he was here...... But why would she know?

She was powerless to think.

“...... Follow me. ”

Ankelan held out his hand to her, his tone unusually soft. That's a different kind of gentleness from Novi...... It cannot be denied.

Tess hesitated for a long time, but finally stood up obediently and took his hand.

She didn't ask him where he was going...... That's unnecessary. She remembered why they had been here last time, and this time......

This time it probably won't be any different.

The only difference is that she is no longer the girl who is too small to resist, even if she is at a loss, she knows exactly what she wants.

What she wants, she will get.
