Chapter 87: The Violence of Empathy
At the entrance of the village, an elven girl who looked to be about the same age as Sheila came straight over, with a smile of good intentions on her face, and opened her mouth to ask loudly: "Yo!--Isn't this Xuela?Is this your new boyfriend?
The elven girl had the usual pink hair of the elves, and a pair of large, slightly childish eyes that looked similar to Sheila (also common to the elves), but with a shrewd philistine glint in her eyes (uncommon), and wore a short-sleeved dress made of silk and satin, which at first glance looked like an ordinary village girl.

At first glance, Xuela, who had a close friendship with the other party, shot back with lightning speed: "Arei is not Xuela's new boyfriend!
Apparently LETT is back in the driver's seat. I saw that his expression was extremely serious to indicate his "identity": "I am the most loyal servant of His Majesty Sheira!"
When the pink-haired elven girl heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but hold her stomach and burst into tears: "What-ahh I thought you were empathetic and found a new boyfriend to come back. I didn't expect you to find a spare tire and come back. He is also known as His Majesty Shera. Are you the Queen?βyou laugh at me..."
Xuela solemnly told the other party: "Hey, sister, Xuera just saved Aray from drowning." Arei is not a spare tire. We have no other relationship with each other. β
When Sister Yan heard this, her eyes lit up and she began to look at Leite, and asked with a playful face: "That is called Ah... Arley's winged human brother, you are so handsome, what a pity to be the spare tire of Shira. Sister Yan hasn't talked about friends yet, how about you being Sister Yan's boyfriend?"
At this moment, he didn't notice Sister Yan's problem at all, and the sensitive Leiter had already fallen into deep thought: "Empathy, don't love, spare tire... Does Sheila already have a boyfriend?... Could it be the big brother?... I'm sorry for you...", but he was relieved to think that his liking of Sheila also fell into the category of empathy.
Seeing Leiter's depressed face, Xuera hurriedly relieved: "Alei." That's how Sister Yan likes to joke. Don't take it personally. β
At this moment, Sister Yan's elder brother, the man from the elven clan who had appeared before, saw this, and had already run behind his sister, grabbed the target's ear, and sternly admonished: "Yan-sister!--You are playing tricks on people again! Don't you think the trouble you caused last time was not big enough? Hurry back with me!"
Sister Yan immediately began to beg for mercy: "Ouch!--You are also Sister Yan's elder brother, don't talk about friendship and family affection." Don't be so violentβ"
The old brother, who knew Sister Yan's temperament very well, refuted mercilessly: "But you went too far this time." How can there be any reason to block the guests at the entrance of the village? And if I don't use violence, can I shut your mouth?"
Sister Yan expressed complete (for herself) resignation: "Okay, okay." Sister Yan knew she was wrong. β
The elder brother let go of Sister Yan's ears and advised: "Then you should apologize to the guest and ask for the other party's forgiveness." β
Sister Yan reached out and rubbed her plucked ears, and shouted loudly to Xuela and Leiter with a reluctant expression: "Okay! I'm sorry!"
It was only after such a sudden apology that Leiter came back to his senses, and he reached out and touched the back of his head without knowing the current situation, and replied reflexively: "Uh... Never mind. β
Sheila, who is also well versed in Sister Yan's nature, whispered in Leiter's ear: "Aray. You're too talkative, aren't you?"
When Sister Yan saw this situation, she immediately got carried away: "Look! β
The elder brother whispered a warning in Sister Yan's ear: "I will spare you this time." Sister Yan responded with a grimace.
Immediately afterwards, Sister Yan's elder brother bent down with a sincere attitude and bowed formally to Leit and Xuela: "I'm sorry." Please don't mind. β
Seeing this, Sister Yan actually laughed more and more on the side: "It seems that my brother also knows that pulling Sister Yan's ear is an extremely violent act, and he took the initiative to admit his mistake." β
Sister Yan's elder brother became angry when he heard this, and loudly reprimanded: "I apologize not because I pulled your ears! Who caused this!?
I saw that Sister Yan's elder brother did not turn around to chase his sister, but walked to Leiter's side, stretched out his right arm and grabbed the shoulder of the winged brother, and whispered: "It really makes you laugh." You know, my sister is just over 100 years old like Shela, and she can only be counted as an adult in the elf clan. She has a special personality..."
The Winged Man refers to Rayter.
Xuela, who was standing next to her, saw the two big men start talking with mysterious faces, and immediately asked with curiosity: "What are you talking about?
Reitt nodded in understanding, "Oh-it's okay." At the same time, he thought to himself: Which is this more special? A hundred years old is not young, is it okay? Is it because his personality is extremely special, right? But he didn't realize that his personality is sometimes quite like that.
Sister Yan's elder brother finally whispered: "And don't say it, I told you the age of Xuela and Sister Yan." Otherwise they'll kill me. Hearing this, Reiter hurriedly nodded his head.
At the same time, Shira, who was shorter than both of them, was already behind the two of them, jumping up and down and making noise: "Sheila wants to listen... Sheila wants to listen too..."
Sister Yan then turned around and told Xuera with a serious face: "Ahem, um." We were just talking about where to go for the latrines in the village. β
Sheila replied, "Oh." So she didn't ask any more questions. Because, first, this question is very disgusting, and talking about it is the kind of thing she hates the most; second, the men's and women's toilets in the public thatched huts in the village are separated, and it is indeed easy to make mistakes if outsiders don't understand.
Immediately after, Sister Yan's elder brother turned around again and put his right arm on Leiter's shoulder again: "Little brother, don't be surprised. Don't look at my sister like that, in fact, she really hasn't been in love..."The old brother didn't seem to believe what he said when he saw the expression of the little brother of the winged man, so he further explained to the other party. He was half a head taller than Reiter, and he had a friendly smile on his face.
Rett had already noticed that Sister Yan was carrying a longbow behind him, and he was a hidden master, and he had been tracking himself and Sheila all the way, but he had not shown a single trace (the elves were good at tracking and concealment); If I had dared to disappoint Shera at that time, the consequences would have been unimaginable: "Are we going to see the elders now?"
Sister Yan's smile was still so kind: "Of course." β
Then, with his arms around Raytt's neck, Sister Yan's elder brother walked down a country road leading to the elder's residence, and when he passed the door of a hut that sold spell props, he took the initiative to introduce: "Look, this is my sister's prop shop. She's very serious about it. β
Rett looked up into the room, and saw that Sister Yan was holding it at the counter with a pair of monocular spell lenses on her face, and was looking intently at the pocket watch-like prop in her hand, which was being handled with tweezers. Spell lenses are used to zoom in on objects and see through certain materials.
Seeing Sister Yan's attentive appearance, Lei Tet asked in a low voice, "Is she cultivating something?"
Sister Yan's elder brother said proudly: "The spell props made by my sister are famous far and wide. The items in the village are usually brought to her for repairs. β
LETT seemed a little incredulous: "So powerful?"
Sister Yan's elder brother explained: "Her skills are all taught by the elders themselves. My sister is particularly talented in this area. Today, because the elder family has a guest visiting, she is very excited. β
Xuela couldn't help but interject: "But, it doesn't seem to be good in other aspects, right? Every time an outsider comes, Sister Yan seems to be very kind to Xuela..."
Sister Yan's elder brother said in a slightly helpless tone: "Because she is the only one of us who has inherited the elder's craftsmanship, she is a little extra favored and difficult to control." There are few people in the village, and it is exceptionally quiet, where can young children stay, in order to relieve loneliness, so Sister Yan likes to tease people. Shela. Last time you didn't take her with you to leave Arebis, because she was actually making a fuss and demonstrating to us with her temper. But the elders treat her like a treasure, so how can they let her go out casually?"
Xue stretched her hand and lifted the golden half-moon-shaped ornament on her head, and said whatever she thought: "That's because she swore to the elders that she would not leave until she completed her studies." Sheila doesn't have that patience. Forget it, forget it. Sister Yan is actually quite good. Shera wore this chain of the crescent moon that she made, oh, it's beautiful, isn't it?"
Reiter then complimented: "Very beautiful." In fact, people are like this, there are advantages, there will be disadvantages, and the most important thing is to learn to cherish it. He couldn't help but say what Siddle had told him before. Siddle was originally a gifted scholar in alchemy and history, and was also very good at crafting magic gadgets.
Sister Yan's elder brother reminded: "My sister is so serious, don't bother her." The elders are still waiting for us. So the three of them came to the door of the Elven Elder Strong's house, the entrance to a large, fenced courtyard. As far as the eye can see, the courtyard is full of large farmland, growing various crops, and many towering ancient trees, and a large wooden thatched hut in the center should be the elder's residence.
After Yan's elder brother brought Leit and Xuela into the courtyard, he walked towards the hut at a faster pace: "I'll go and report it first." β
I saw that Sister Yan's elder brother had not yet reached the front of the hut in a hurry. A wise elven man dressed in the usual style of gray-and-white mage robes, carrying a cane carved from oak wood, with a short gray beard on his chin, and a bright eye, led Crotty, Leonard, Tina, Hanks, Bran, and Howl out of the house.
This old man is Strong, the elder of the elves. Rossi, Li Ming, and the old captain stayed with the crew on the harbor side, as they were not wanted by Vosfitta.
Strong spoke first, "Kay." You're back. β
Sister Yan's elder brother, Kai, replied, "Elder. I've brought Shera and Reiter. β
Strong leaned on crutches and told Ritter kindly, "Welcome, welcome." Old decay is Strong, you old decay has heard of it. β
Seeing this, Shera pulled the sleeve of Leitt's left arm, and quickly ran forward to interject: "Chief, what did you hear? Behind you, they're all friends of LETT, right?"
At the same time, Strong turned around and told Leonard and the others, "She's the Sheila that Old Man just mentioned." β
Seeing this, Sheila said loudly and dissatisfiedly: "Elder, listen to me, don't ignore Sheila as soon as you see a guest!"
Strong immediately comforted Sheila in an unusually soft tone as if dealing with a spoiled child: "Alright, alright." I can't stand you. How could the elder ignore Shela?"
With a happy face, Sheila introduced Ray to Strong: "Then you listen to Sheila." This is Are, who is now a friend of Sheila. β
Strong immediately put away his smile and asked Reiter with a pretended serious expression: "Are, young man." Is this true?"
Rhett, who is sensitive by nature, didn't know how to answer at all, and suddenly his tongue was knotted and he began to speak incoherently: "This... Elder... That's not what I meant... Elders..."
Strong pretended to be surprised with his hands on crutches, his eyes widened, and his tone was unhurried: "Young man, speak slowly, is there anything you need to be so nervous?" said the elder, but he didn't care. The obedient Leiter was so anxious that his head was full of Han stains.
Seeing this scene, Leonard, who understood Strong's intentions, decisively followed and coaxed: "Leiter, there is really you." What are you ashamed of getting along with the elder's daughter so quickly?"
When Leiter heard this, he immediately glared at Leonard and regained his senses: "You!--..."
Seeing this, Shera became interested in Leonard: "Elder, how are you? And what other scar-faced human brother, what's your name?"
Leonard replied in a serious manner: "My name is Leonard." β
So Xuera continued to speak: "And that handsome little thunder. You all don't tease Are, okay?"
When Leonard heard this, he closed one of his eyes lightly and asked Xuera, "Who is little Ray? Beautiful young lady, you are not mistaken, right?"
Sheila also asked Leonard, "Little Ray." You're definitely younger than Shera, and you're so... Isn't it Xiao Lei?"
Leonard pretended to be incomprehensible and continued to ask, "What is this?"
"It's disgusting," Hanks whispered in Tina's ear.
Tina then reminded Leonard's ear, "Ray, it's time for us to get down to business. β
Leonard replied in an unusually calm and whispered tone: "No hurry." Since she is the one who wants to go back with us, it is better to test her again. β
Sheila said bluntly: "Such a ruffian. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said that Sheila was the elder's daughter and had a relationship with Arrey. β
Strong also felt it was time to get down to business: "Ahem. In fact, Sheila is not an old daughter. β
Leonard knew that his plot had succeeded, so he took the initiative to answer the question he didn't want to ask, and took the opportunity to ask, "What's going on?"
Sister Yan's eldest brother, Kay, responded in place of Strong: "I, Sister Yan, and Sheila are all orphans adopted by the elders. Among them, Sister Yan and I are brother and sister. The three elders of the elven clan in the past generations did not marry wives and had no offspring. β
Leonard continued to ask, "So Cleos also..."
Kai added, "Although Cleos is the king, he is also one of the three elders, so it should be the same. β
Then, Kay reported to Strong with a serious expression, "And, Elder. Shengwu has already taken action on the port side. β
Strong leaned on his crutches: "Then, Kai, Shela, you will accompany the old man to the harbor." When Sister Yan's elder brother and the young lady of the elf clan heard this, they consciously took the initiative to stand on the left and right sides of the elder.
Strong said, accompanied by Shera and Kai, and left, "Guests, rest for a while in your old home. I'll talk about something when the old man comes back. β
...... "Arebis is a colony promised to the elves by the five Heroic Spirits, and is already self-governing under the authority of Cleos, and you have no right to take any action without the consent of the council on the island, except with a certificate of authorization from Cleos..." The Holy Swordsmen had no choice but to evacuate aboard the Dark Judgment.
