Chapter 949: Cover
Under normal circumstances, the elves live relatively freely, but during this time, they are extremely strict and controlled everywhere. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info And the guards in the city also often come to check on them and ask for some basic information. In short, the entire elven clan fell into an atmosphere of tension and panic.
When Xiao Dong asked, he learned that because of the current elf clan, he was attacked by the lizard clan. The lizardmen are a race that lives underground, accompanied by underground magma. Inadvertently, he discovered the world of the elves, so he wanted to occupy it with war. Because, their living environment is too bad, and when they see a good one, they naturally want to take it for themselves.
Naturally, the elven people would not agree, so a war between the two sides was triggered. However, the people of the lizard people are very fierce, and they have survived in underground magma for a long time, and they themselves are accompanied by a strong fiery burning ability, and they are also very ruthless. And the people of the elven race, who are stable and peaceful, have always been accustomed to a simple and simple life, and suddenly suffered a lot of losses when they were suddenly attacked by this kind.
Fortunately, there is an enchantment between the elves and the lizards, and the lizards have not been able to break through for the time being, and they have rushed in in a big way. Otherwise, they'll be in trouble. And it is precisely because of this war that the elven people have sounded a wake-up call, and the almost deserted escort team has regrouped, recruited militia training and training, and become a member of the front line.
The fighting has not stopped, and if you go to a distant city, you can see wounded soldiers returning almost every day, and the situation is not very optimistic. And the commander of the Great Priest is the supreme leader of the entire elven race.
Xiao Dong suddenly realized that after a long time, there was a war between the group of lizards and the elves. No wonder he was in the passage, and when he met the lizardman, the other party launched a fatal attack on him without saying a word.
Depending on the situation, the people of the lizard clan must be trying to find a way to invade the elves in a big way, and the fact that they were able to appear in that passage means that they have probably found a way to enter.
The situation of the elves is not optimistic.
But that group of escorts regarded themselves as spies, and they attacked him with arrows if they didn't agree with him, so that he couldn't explain clearly and explain his intentions.
"Mary, can you take me to the High Priest?" Xiao Dong asked.
Since the High Priest is the supreme commander of the entire city, you can solve the problem by talking to him directly.
Mary looked surprised and said, "Oh my God, you're not kidding, how could I possibly meet the High Priest." He is the most noble person of our elven race besides the Queen. Civilians like us are not qualified to look for him at all. Unless, it is He who has summoned us personally. ”
Xiao Dong couldn't help but be disappointed, it seems that this trick won't work.
"Big brother, are you a soldier who just returned from the front?" asked Mary curiously, "Your wings are gone, could it be that you were cut off by the lizard tribe......s?" ”
As she spoke, Mary reached out to touch it.
Xiao Dong couldn't cry or laugh, and for Mary, he sincerely felt a kind of kindness and loveliness.
He didn't know how to explain his identity, so he just smiled, and then asked, "By the way, you say, besides your high priest, there is a queen?
"She, she's the queen of our elven race, but she's been asleep for a long time, and she hasn't woken up yet. I've heard that the High Priest is trying to find a way to wake the queen up. Mary said mysteriously, "Big brother, I have heard everything, don't go to the high priest to complain to me, or I will be miserable." People are still young and don't want to go to jail ....... ”
Xiao Dong almost burst out laughing, this little girl is inevitably innocent.
"Don't worry, I won't say it. Xiao Dong pretended to be serious and said, "Then why is your queen sleeping?"
"This ...... It's not very clear. Mary shook her head, her face full of doubts, and said after a while, "However, I have heard from my friends, the Queen is seriously ill and needs to retreat, I don't know why, and she hasn't come out yet. Some people also say that in fact, the queen has long ceased to exist...... Oh, don't talk about it, if the guards hear it, I'll have to be pulled out and cut by a thousand cuts!"
Mary was shocked, which only made Xiao Dong cry and laugh, thinking that the situation of the elven clan seemed to be much more complicated than he imagined. High priest and queen. He didn't come here to meddle in his business, but to find the elven grass.
Isn't Mary just a local resident? Just look for the elf grass and ask her if she can't?
"Mary, do you know that there is such a thing as elven grass?" Xiao Dong asked.
"Elven grass?" Mary was stunned, frowned, and said, "This name, how does it sound so familiar, where have you heard it?" By the way, I heard from a friend who has been to the city last time that elven grass is the most precious plant of our elven race, and only the noble queen has it. ”
"Only with the Queen?" Xiao Dong was stunned and asked, "Why is that?"
"Because the elven grass represents the kindness and dignity of our elven clan, there is no one except the queen. Mary explained, "However, I have only heard a rough idea, and the rest of the details are not very clear. Big brother, what are you asking the elf grass for?"
"It's nothing, just ask. Xiao Dong became more and more disappointed, he thought that the elf grass was a very ordinary thing of the elf clan, but he didn't expect that in their place, they all belonged to the noble and rare, except for the queen, there was no one.
It seems that only the High Priest, or the Queen, can be found.
If it were normal, the other party would not be able to speak, so it would be a big deal to force the rush. However, he had already tasted the strange arrows of the other party, and if he was forced to come, it would be difficult to deal with. He didn't want to be shot again and fall into a coma. This time I was lucky enough to have escaped a catastrophe, and next time, I might have to become someone else's prisoner.
Xiao Dong's head was big for a while, and when he came to this elf clan, everything really didn't go well.
However, if it comes, it will be safe, and the elf grass is the last medicinal material to treat the eldest brother, and he will get it no matter what. Big deal, just stay here for a while, there will definitely be a way.
Knock knock!
At this time, Mom Jasmine had already prepared dinner and knocked on the door to come in. Seeing Xiao Dong who woke up sitting on the bed, he was stunned for a moment, and then showed a warm smile: "Wake up, then it's just right, let's eat together." ”
Not to mention, his stomach has been empty for such a long time, and when he heard that there was something to eat, Xiao Dong suddenly felt a strong sense of hunger, so he was not polite, and walked out with them.
Looking around, it is a relatively small tower, with only two floors, and half an open-air balcony above it, which is carried up by a staircase. Below, there are three rooms. In the living room, the meals are already arranged.
It's just that this food is a little different from what Xiao Dong usually eats.
Jasmine opened her mouth and asked, "Coarse tea and light rice, are you not used to eating it?"
"No, no. Xiao Dong shook his head and grinned, "I am a child of a poor family, I can eat anything, and I am not a picky eater." ”
"That's good. Hearing this, Jasmine couldn't help but get a lot closer, and said with a smile, "To be honest, I have a similar family background as yours, and we both grew up in poor families, and I grew up with Mary ......." ”
"What about Mary's father?" asked Xiao Dong.
He ....... Jasmine was a little speechless, but she saw that Mary's eyes were already covered with a layer of fog.
"I'm sorry, but I'm talking too much. Xiao Dong hurriedly said.
"It doesn't matter, it's been so much in the past anyway. Jasmine squeezed out a smile and said, "Mary's father died of illness very early, and I have always carried Mary with me." This kid was very obedient and lived up to my expectations. I only hope that she can find a good man to marry in the future, and stop being lonely like me. ”
"Mom, I don't want to get married, I'm going to be with you all the time!" Mary said, pouting.
"Silly boy, how can there be a girl who doesn't marry, you are still young now, and you will understand later. Jasmine touched her head dotingly, but Mary raised her head and said stubbornly, "Anyway, I just won't marry!"
Jasmine didn't argue with her, but turned to look at Xiao Dong and asked, "What happened to you, why did you float on the river?"
"Mom, the eldest brother is a soldier on the front line, he was seriously injured and unconscious, so he floated to our side. You see, his wings were broken off by those abominable lizardmen, and ...... is pitiful. Without waiting for Xiao Dong to speak, Mary immediately interjected.
Jasmine pretended to glare and said, "Little child, don't talk nonsense, I didn't ask you!"
"It's not the same, I've got it. Mary pursed her lips, unconvinced.
Xiao Dong didn't know how to explain his identity yet, but since Mary said it, wouldn't it be just right to cover up, so he showed a heavy look and nodded, "Mary is right, it's ......indeed like this." ”
"Oh...... Poor child, the High Priest and the Queen will bless you. When Jasmine heard this, she said with a distressed face, "Thanks to you, we have this stable life." ”
"That's what we men are supposed to do. Xiao Dong straightened his chest and asked tentatively, "By the way, since you know about the lizard clan, do you know that there are other races besides you?"
Jasmine and Mary looked at each other, then sneered, feeling as if Xiao Dong was telling a joke.
"How is it possible, we elves are the center of the whole world, and we are the biggest!" said Mary proudly.
"The lizardfolk can only be regarded as a mutated animal. Although they are strong in a short period of time, they lack spiritual civilization, and sooner or later, they will be wiped out by us. Jasmine smiled and said, "Don't think too much about being hurt by the lizardmen, there are other races besides us elves ......." ”
Well, they don't know anything about feelings!
Always living in his own world, never going out, that's why I think so.
Xiao Dong was completely defeated, and this elf clan can indeed be said to be isolated from the world. But it's normal to think about it, as if before this, Xiao Dong felt that apart from the world he lived in, there were any races and worlds.
Only when a certain level is reached, will there be an understanding. And Jasmine and Mary are just ordinary residents at the bottom of the elf race, they don't know, and it's normal.
Since this is the case, Xiao Dong doesn't plan to talk to them more, otherwise, the more he explains, the more he can't explain.
"Xiao Dong, since you are a soldier on the front line, you must go back. Jasmine asked, "You don't have to worry, it's not too late to go back when your injuries are healed." ”
Chapter 950: Dark Green Night
Xiao Dong was stunned, shook his head and said: "I don't have this idea for the time being, if I can, let me be a bum, I don't want to continue to be a front-line soldier, because, I have lost my wings for this!"
Xiao Dong said it with emotion, as if he had been wronged, with an indescribable desolation and grief.
Jasmine sighed faintly and said, "Hey, poor boy, you have given your wings to us, and you have made the greatest contribution. You should be made a brave warrior by the high priest, how can you be a vagabond?"
"Yes, big brother, even if you don't have wings, you're still the most heroic person in our eyes!" Mary waved her small fist.
However, Jasmine looked at Xiao Dong with a full and profound look, and said: "If you don't want to go back, you can stay here, depending on your age, you shouldn't be married yet, you see, how about this girl Mary?"
Nani: What's going on?
Does this mean that you want to sell your daughter?
"Oh, Mom, what do you say?" Although Mary was innocent, she suddenly became shy about what Jasmine meant, who understood what she meant.
Jasmine didn't pay attention to it, and said with a smile: "We are all children of the poor, if you don't mind, can you...... I mean, I think you and Mary are quite compatible, so you might as well ....... ”
Jasmine's meaning is obvious, doesn't she just want Xiao Dong to be her son-in-law.
"I won't tell you, shame!" Mary was too thin-skinned to listen to it anymore, so she covered her face and hurriedly ran away.
"This kid ....... Jasmine shook her head, laughing and crying, and asked Xiao Dong what he meant with her eyes.
Of course Xiao Dong will not agree, Mary is just a little girl in his eyes, besides, he doesn't belong here, and sooner or later he will have to leave. The reason why he fabricated his identity was also to expose himself so as not to let Jasmine suspect him. Unexpectedly, Jasmine was so impatient that she wanted to kiss herself.
"Could it be that Lao Tzu's charm has invisibly increased again?" Xiao Dong muttered in his heart, then smiled dryly and said, "Aunt Jasmine, I don't have this idea for ...... time being." ”
"It's okay, don't force it. Jasmine was obviously a little disappointed, but still smiled and said, "Your injuries have just recovered, and you need to recuperate slowly." In the meantime, you're just going to be here. ”
"Then thank you, Auntie. Xiao Dong nodded, he didn't know how to hide here and avoid the escorts. Now that it's okay, having the mother and daughter of Jasmine's family take it in is tantamount to having a layer of cover. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. I'm afraid that the people of the escort team will be killed, and they can't imagine that he will live in the homes of the people.
Knock knock!
"Aunt Jasmine, little Mary, are you at home?" At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Ah, it's Brother Locke here, hey, it's so late, what are they doing here?" Mary poked her little head out of the room at some point, and staggered out to open the door.
"The guards are also patrolling in the middle of the night?" Jasmine muttered, puzzled.
It's the people of the convoy!
There is no doubt that the person who came was the one who attacked Xiao Dong earlier.
Xiao Dong didn't want to take care of them, otherwise, in the face of that strange arrow, he would not have to hide in Tibet. It's hard to stabilize here, but it can't be broken.
"Aunt Jasmine, thank you for taking care of me, please don't reveal the news that I'm here, I don't want to be found. Xiao Dong hung his head, revealing a state of discouragement, and said, "I just want to be quiet and stay alone for a while." ”
"I understand. Jasmine nodded solemnly, and as soon as she walked over, Mary had already pulled the deadbolt.
A group of men in armor stood at the doorway, led by a captain named Locke.
"Brother Locke, long time no see!" said Mary, and pounced.
"Little Mary, haven't you been well-behaved lately. Locke crouched down and kindly pinched Mary's face, looking very friendly. and the previous attitude towards Xiao Dong, it is simply a heaven and an earth.
"I hate it, and pinch people's faces!" Mary slapped Locke's palm very unhappily, saw the rest of the guards standing behind her, and asked curiously, "Brother Locke, it's getting dark, why do you have time to come?"
"Passing by, I'm here to see you. Locke smiled and greeted Jasmine.
"Locke, is something going on? Looks like you have a mission?" Jasmine wasn't a child after all, and seeing that they were all armed, she sensed the difference in the atmosphere, so she asked.
"Yes, Aunt Jasmine, we found a spy who infiltrated our side, and he escaped by accident. We ask for your forgiveness for all of our negligence. Locke said with guilt and sincerity on his face, "But don't worry, we will definitely catch this person." ”
"Spies?" Jasmine asked, taken aback, "what about ...... Doesn't that mean we're dangerous?!"
"Don't panic, we will definitely protect your safety with us!" Locke said, "We just chased Slender and suspected that he had escaped along the river, so we came here to ask if you saw anyone suspicious, and reported it to us in time, so that we could arrest him!"
"Suspicious people?" said Mary suddenly, "not really, but ....... ”
Jasmine was shocked, and quickly blocked Jasmine's mouth, and said with a smile: "Children's family, adults talk, what are you interjecting? Locke, we have been making dinner at home, and we haven't seen anyone else." Have you eaten, do you need to eat in and eat something before continuing the mission?"
Locke frowned and said, "Aunt Jasmine, why don't you let Mary speak?"
"That's it, why don't you let me speak?" Mary brushed aside Jasmine's palm and said, "I didn't find anything suspicious, but I was washing mushrooms by the river before, and I didn't pay attention, the basket fell into the water, and the mushrooms were gone, so I wanted to ask Brother Locke if he brought me mushrooms!"
The solemn atmosphere suddenly collapsed, Locke wiped the sweat from his head, and said with a smile: "I didn't bring it this time, next time I pass by, I will definitely bring you mushrooms." Okay, since we didn't see it, let's go to the next house and ask. Remember, if you find someone suspicious, you must tell us in time. ”
"Don't worry, it will. Jasmine affirmed.
"Then goodbye. Locke pinched Mary's face again, only to make Mary angry like a rampaging Lori, and scolded.
Jasmine's slightly pale face recovered a little, she closed the door, exhaled deeply, and said, "Mary, you really scared me to death, in the future, adults will speak, you must not interject." ”
Mary's eyes flickered, and she smiled: "Mom, I'm not that stupid, you didn't tell Brother Locke just now, and you covered my mouth again, I knew I couldn't say it, in order to make Brother Locke not suspect, I did this on purpose." How's that, or am I smart?"
"Yes, my little Mary is so smart and cute. Jasmine was heartily pleased with her daughter's wit.
Xiao Dong walked out of it, also relieved, but fortunately it was not exposed.
But Jasmine's face was a little unpleasant, and she said, "Xiao Dong, who are you? They say you're a spy, it's ....... ”
"Misunderstandings, all misunderstandings. Xiao Dong hurriedly said, "Aunt Jasmine, please believe me, I'm not a bad person." It's just that there was a bit of a misunderstanding between me and the people in the escort team, and I didn't explain it clearly, so I ...... Hey, it's hard to say, anyway, I'll tell you later, and please don't believe me. ”
"That's right, the big brother has been so badly injured, how can he be a bad guy? Mary shouted from the side.
Jasmine glanced at Xiao Dong with a complicated expression and said, "Okay, I believe in you, I hope you will clear up the misunderstanding as soon as possible." ”
"Thank you. Xiao Dong nodded.
The sky outside had finished sinking, and the night was not black, but a dark green color. The entire elven clan is shrouded in a layer of green.
Jasmine arranged a room for Xiao Dong, cleaned it up, and let him stay.
Xiao Dong lay at the head of the bed, thinking about how to infiltrate the central city and find the high priest.
Knock knock!
"Big brother, are you sleeping?" a small voice came.
Little Mary?
Xiao Dong got up, opened the door, and saw a smiling figure, which quickly came in. Sneaky, it looks like he's doing something wrong.
"Why are you?" Seeing Mary's appearance, Xiao Dong couldn't help but laugh. What are you doing in your room when you don't sleep in the middle of the night?
Mary stuck out her tongue, smiled, and said, "Big brother, be quiet, don't let your mother hear, otherwise, she will definitely beat me." ”
"Then what do you say, what are you looking for me?" Xiao Dong asked.
"I can't sleep at night and want to talk to you. Mary was not polite, and simply sat down beside Xiao Dong, shaking her two long white legs.
Chatting: Life or Mechanics?
Xiao Dong was not interested in chatting with a little kid, but when he saw Mary's dress at this time, he couldn't help but feel moved. Mary has an innocent cheek, fat and extremely cute, especially those green eyes, if they are like gemstones, clear and transparent, and seem to be shining, which makes people feel good at a glance.
Coupled with the curvature that is beginning to take shape, and the pair of white legs that are not too short, I can't help but think of other things. After all, lonely men and widows are in the same room, and Mary is an innocent girl, which is especially easy to arouse men's thoughts.
In fact, Mary's age should be sixteen or seventeen years old, because the elves themselves are petite, so they look like children.
In addition, behind Mary, there is a pair of wings as thin as cicada wings, which flicker slowly, which makes people have an exotic reverie.
"Oh, big brother, what are you looking at?" Finding that Xiao Dong's eyes were a little strange, Mary couldn't help asking, and at the same time looked down at Zizi's body, but didn't notice anything, and said curiously, "Big brother, do I have something on me?"
"No, no. Xiao Dong coughed lightly and quickly withdrew his eyes, fortunately, Mary was simple, otherwise, he would have to scold himself for being a hooligan.
"I know, big brother, are you envious, I have wings. Mary said, "Don't be discouraged, big brother, you are a brave warrior, and you can definitely have wings again!"
"I believe it. Xiao Dong nodded, crying and laughing. This little girl can really write and direct herself.
