"Hey, is this the new roommate?"

The tall, burly shadow slowly approached the range of the gas lamp, and asked in a low and rough voice.

Carlos watched in surprise as the figure approached like a hill, and a clearer and clearer appearance appeared in his view, and his expression became strange.

Orcs?

In front of him was a burly and sturdy man with black green skin and about two meters tall, his eyes were a little abrupt, and his eyes were hollow with a natural fierce light.

"Cook, don't put that ugly face, you're going to scare your new roommate. ”

The little girl named Vivien jumped and shouted, and Carlos regained his gaze drawn by the burly orc.

Move the gaslight down at the same time as your gaze.

With just one glance, Carlos could tell that the little girl in front of him, Vivien, was an elf.

It's like stepping out of a book illustrator's picture book.

She has a small round ruddy face and wears an eight-panel dress with a blue embroidery pattern. With long golden and shiny hair, the sides of the scattered cloud temples reveal well-behaved ears that can't hide the big pointed points, and the hand with skin like congealed fat is inserted on her small waist at the moment, and her face is full of smiles.

Carlos's eyes were full of novelty, and he looked at the half-orc Cook who was scolded by Vivien and showed a smile on his face at the moment, and then at the well-behaved elven Vivian in front of him.

It took a long time to come back to my senses.

However, when he felt the friendliness of the other party, his whole body was slightly relaxed, and his surprised expression slowly relaxed and became natural.

"Hello, Carlos Stevenson, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Carlos held out his hand politely.

Vivien's face seemed to be forever smiling, and when she saw Carlos stretch out her right hand, she was a little shy and just gently swiped her small palm from Carlos's palm, and then quickly retracted it, as if she was not very accustomed to human handshake etiquette.

Cook was a big guy, his body was like a moving hill and walked in front of Carlos, generously stretched out a hammer-like palm and held it tightly, and struck a light punch on Carlos's palm with great restraint.

At this moment, Carlos, who was still in a trance, felt that he had really woken up from the hallucinatory truth.

"Are you a guest of Mr. Du Buyi? Your room seemed to be locked before, why can you come out now?"

Carlos actually wanted to say, aren't you locked up in the elven room and the orc room?, however, thinking that this would offend the two new friends, he changed his words.

After all, these two aliens don't seem to be bad guys.

Vivien said, "The four of us are only staying here temporarily, and Du Buyi won't let us out since that bad witch has been causing trouble all over the place lately. ”

Cook chimed in, "Yes, today is the exception. ”

Carlos blinked, a bit informative, and he felt the need to sort it out.

An elf, an orc, a human witch, and so on, and a pair of alienated beasts whose eyes were the size of a basin of water and knew they were big guys, were living in the house of an eccentric old alchemist at the same time, and they seemed to know each other.

"That's... Why are you all here at the same time?"

Carlos' curiosity reached its extreme.

Vivien was a little annoyed and said, "It's all the fault of a bad witch. ”

Cook the orc still agreed, "Yes, a bad bad witch. ”

Carlos, on the other hand, still just blinked, with a blanket on his face.

When Carlos sat down on the couch again, the elven girl Vivien also chose a sofa with her feet crossed and sat comfortably half-lying down, and the burly half-orc sat on the floor with her butt on her head but still a head taller than the two.

Vivien gave a general account of what had happened.

It happened more than a month ago.

In the depths of the Rodney Mountains, there is a group of bright elves with long pointed ears, about the size of a goblin or smaller, and a group of Rodney orcs who live in clans, they are usually cold, like to eat raw beasts, savage and silly.

When Vivien first described the background of the story as stupid, Cook just sat on the ground and frowned, touching his hairless green-skinned head in protest.

In short, they lived freely and happily in the Droni Mountains, until one day a month ago, a bad witch appeared in the depths of the mountains.

Carlos listened intently, and when he heard this, he looked up at the ceiling overhead.

Is the bad witch here the one upstairs?

He didn't think about it, and Vivien's story continued.

One day, Vivien ran out of the elven village because of her playfulness, and met a very cute human girl on the road, Vivien had never seen a human, and never thought about why a weak human girl would appear in the Drony Mountains full of wild beasts, so she took the initiative to tell her that it was dangerous and told her to leave quickly.

In the beginning, the Bad Witch was just cold.

ignored Vivian's proposal from the elves and left.

However, when Vivien was disappointed to return to the elven village, the witch found Vivien again, claiming that she was being hunted by a terrible orc.

Carlos doesn't have to think about it, chasing and killing that witch should be Cook sitting in front of him.

Cook heard Vivien say this, his eyes were as big as brass bells, and he said angrily, "I said she was a witch, but you didn't believe her. ”

Vivien turned her head to look at the disgruntled half-beast sitting on the ground, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Cook. ”

The next thing is actually quite simple.

The innocent and kind-hearted Vivien was easily deceived by the witch's demagoguery, and in the territory of the elves, Vivien was born to be a good elven magician, she easily defeated the half-orc, that is, Cook, who had only one brute strength, and vowed to escort the seemingly very thin witch out of the depths of the Rodney Mountains, at least keeping her away from the orc-patrolled area.

Cook was taken hostage, and the three of them set out from the depths of the mountain and headed west to find the exit of the mountain range.

During this time, Vivien learns that the witch's name is Meru Irene Dell, who claims to be an intern at the Academy of Dark Arts, who has come to the Rodney Mountains to collect herbs and gets lost with her companions, and strays into the depths of the mountains.

But the clumsy Cook knew that all this was her lie, because in the depths of the mountain range, Cook saw a group of low-level magical beasts with his own eyes, once surrounded by this human girl, obedient like a group of raised pets.

The three of them walked farther and farther from the mountain range towards the west entrance, and Vivien of the elven clan began to feel a little worried, because the elven magic element in her body was rapidly declining, and without the blessing of the elven forest, her elven magic was rapidly weakening.

What happened after that, Carlos could guess with his eyes closed.

The witch undressed her kindness and attacked Vivien, who was unsuspecting and had lost most of her elven magical abilities.

When Carlos heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

It's an alternative version of a fairy tale like Mrs. Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood.

Isn't a witch a wolf woman?

"Then why are you here? Could it be that Du Buyi suddenly appeared and knocked the witch down again?"

Carlos was still full of doubts.

Vivien shook her head, bit her lip and said, "We weren't saved, we're a monster. ”

"Warcraft?"

"Yes, an enlightened alienated beast, he is the same kind of alienated beast that unlocked the witch's spiritual charm and led those alienated beasts to chase them out of the mountains. ”

Carlos' eyes widened,

This time the beast tide of alienated beasts coming out of the mountains is really related to wizards, although witches are not the same as ordinary wizards, but they are essentially the same kind of people.

What he didn't expect was that the initiators who put Yanjing Town in a state of chaos, several parties gathered in Du Buyi's alchemy hut with everyone's eyelids down.

Carlos pointed to the stairs and whispered, "In the room upstairs with the nameplate of the Monster Room, is the Monster with the Enlightened Beast?"

Cook twisted his thick neck, "You can't describe it as a head, it's an offense." ”

Carlos asked, "What would be the best word to describe it?" ”

The thick palm of the half-orc touched the bald skull, thought for a long time, opened his mouth and said a little stopper, and stared at himself with big eyes.

This question seems to stump the orcs.

Carlos ignored him and asked Vivien one last question.

"Vivien, why on earth are you here?"
