The elegance and dedication of the elves are not only reflected in the temperament, but also strive for perfection in the details of things. For example, the roasted hare in front of you, every part is evenly cared for, and the skin is tarry and shiny, showing an attractive brownish red.

Crunchy.

Cut a small strip of rabbit meat with a scimitar and put it in your mouth, it is charred, crispy, and full of flavor. Iluri showed a satisfied expression, ignoring little Joel, who had already cried into tears.

After destroying most of the hare, Eruli, who was satisfied, cut a piece of rabbit meat and brought it to little Joel's mouth - this piece of meat was the essence of the hare, the buttocks.

"Want to try it?" said Iluri's tone seductively.

Little Joel, who didn't dare to cry and couldn't run away, was about to nod his head with a long stream of drooling greedily.

Iruli added another meaningful sentence: "When you are full, you can go on the road." ”

"Don't eat, don't eat. Little Joel was frightened, crying and shaking his head, "Iluri, please." Leave me alone, I didn't mean it yesterday, really didn't mean it. ”

"Do you still have the face to mention yesterday? Didn't I give you a stone? Where did you go? Can you afford the responsibility for the loss of the ship? Coward, coward!"

"I'm scared ......"

"Now I know I'm scared, it's useless. If you offend my Eruli, you will have to pay the price. Elori lifted little Joel from the ground, and with half a hare in her hand, she began to approach the stone pillar.

As the distance got closer, the eerie voice echoed again. Little Joel's struggle slowed down suddenly, and his mind was chaotic, and he involuntarily craned his neck and looked at the stone pillar.

More itchy on the tongue.

The feeling of itching as if countless ants were swimming on the snake's head gave him a strange urge to find something cold to lick.

Sensing the abnormality, Iruli stopped, grabbed little Joelti in front of her, a pair of pale green pupils, and stared at him deadly, "Why don't you struggle?

"Itchy...... It's so itchy. Little Joel seemed to be drunk, his eyes were foggy, and his speech was stuttering.

"Open your mouth. Iruli grabbed his cheeks, and when she opened her mouth, her face changed instantly, and the green hair covering her tongue came to life, like a small worm, densely surging continuously.

"That's right, it's from the stone pillar. The closer they get, the more active they become. Iruli thought to herself, gritting her teeth and making up her mind.

Taking advantage of little Joel's confusion, she wants to make a bold attempt.

Put on the gloves of mouse skin, pull your tongue out, and use a sharp blade to start scraping it off little by little. However, Greenhair's reaction was beyond her imagination, and the moment she touched it, those green hats were like ants returning to their holes, and instantly burrowed under the skin, like moss covered with plastic wrap.

"Ah......h

Failed attempt!

Iruli was a little frustrated, the weird green hair was obviously not as simple as she thought.

The thought that little Joel's tongue might grow that weird white worm made her heart panic, and tears began to roll in her eyes.

Silently took little Joel back to the cedar forest, and it was not until he couldn't hear the strange sound that little Joel gradually woke up. He apparently didn't realize it had happened, it was like a dream.

"Did I fall asleep just now?" asked little Joel cautiously.

"Hmm. Iruli nodded lightly, wiped the tears from his face for him, cut the rabbit meat into fine strips, and handed it to his mouth, "Eat." ”

"Are you serious?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm going to change my mind. ”

"Oh, oh. ”

......

"Sisters, get ready, Iluri may have gone to the beach. ”

"Damn, it's all my fault. ”

Eslena hammered the table with self-reproach, and at first everyone thought that Iluli was going back to her cabin in a rage, which was not uncommon, until in the evening, when Aunt Marne came to the door and found that she had left early with little Joel.

Esrena, who knew Elori's rebellion, knew that she knew immediately that Iluri must have taken little Joel to the beach to find a solution.

No matter how blasphemous Iluri may be, Eslena always regards Iluri as a sister and will never give up on her easily.

Looking at the sisters who had finished the whole team, Eslena carried a quiver full of feather arrows on her back, her long ice blue hair was tied up, and she glanced at everyone, and her voice was light and serious, "Sisters, be ready to fight at any time." Those things are not weak sailors. Perhaps, we will be in danger, or maybe someone will die for it. But we will not back down, we will not be afraid. Because, Iluri is our sister, and there is nothing that can cut the bonds between us. ”

"Understood!"

"Let's go!"

......

At dusk, the sun sets.

Illuri, who hid in the cedar tree with little Joel, nervously watched the situation on the beach. She had a wonderful premonition that those ugly monsters would not give up. Especially the stone pillars on the beach, they will not be abandoned.

Looking back at the dark cedar forest, Iluli suddenly figured out a question, the reason why those ugly sea monsters chose to appear at night may not only be because they are more secluded at night, but also because they themselves come from the bottom of the sea and are more accustomed to haunting in pitch black environments.

"Itchy, itchy. Iluli, help me, help me. ”

The green hairs on little Joel's tongue also became more active, so much so that he began to itch all over his body, like a thousand worms, eager to jump into the cold water to relieve the pain.

"Don't move, don't move. Eluli held little Joel tightly in her arms, trying her best to soothe him, her eyes constantly looking at the sand.

It was a very risky choice, born from a vague expectation in her heart.

Tentacle!

If this is a curse, then the only solution is to resort to strange powers, just like in her homeland, where the elves rely on the energy of the web of life to pray for blessings and ward off diseases.

For the sake of little Joel, she has to take risks.

......

In the deep sea, Qin Song's attention to Yiluli has always continued. But I don't approve of her adventure, silly boy, instead of waiting here, it's better to go home and sleep - wouldn't it be better to see each other in a dream?

I'm embarrassed by you like this, okay?

What if it scares the child?

Qin Song had carefully observed the cursed stone pillar, and to his surprise, the verification ability of the Eye of Insight did not work, but judging from the strange symbolic text, the ten was some kind of unique creation of the evil god under the sea.

Destroying the stone pillars will not solve the problems of these elves.

Because, there is more than one stone pillar.

Among the many islands of the Fractured Rock archipelago, there are at least a few dozen of these stone pillars, which are located in different locations. What's even more terrifying is that many pirates or slaves have been recruited, and in the evening, they will gather around the stone pillars to stage that strange scene.

According to Qin Song's speculation, this should be a transformation ritual, the shrinking head fish lice parasitic on the tongue will absorb some kind of curse energy from the stone pillar, fuse with the host, and produce some kind of change, so as to become a deep diver, or a fish monster of a lower rank than a deep diver.

It turns out that everyone is not idle.

Qin Song had planned to eradicate these stone pillars all at once in order to weaken the enemy's strength. But considering that this is not his territory, and his roots are in the Blackstone Realm, a large-scale clearance operation will increase the chance of exposure.

Judging from the strength of the body of the deep diver he observed, it should be at the same level as the orc warrior and the Holy Spirit Knight. In the vast depths of the ocean, there may also be some kind of more powerful family.

Orcs and the Holy Spirit, enough for him to drink a jug. It would not be wise to provoke another ancient god who would attack from the coastline, and that would be to make enemies on three sides, and it would not be in his immediate interests.

Geographically, the Fractured Stones are closer to the Duchy of Vendôme, which means that the Duchy of Vendône is not as rumored, there is no threat from evil forces, but it has not yet surfaced.

The best choice is to let the Duchy of Vendon resist the army first, wait for the situation in the Black Stone Territory to stabilize, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Of course, the two elven witches of the Split Rock Islands are determined to win.

"Mom, I'm so scared, I want to go home. ”

The darkness was like a natural disguise of evil, and little Joel, who was twitching all over, was itchy and unbearable, and his whole body was hot, his consciousness became more and more blurred, and he kept muttering.

"Joel, Joel, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here. Iluri patted him lightly on the back, anxious, Joel's condition was getting worse and worse, and if he didn't lick the stone pillar, he would probably not survive tonight.

Eventually, Iruli gritted her teeth and jumped down from the tree, calling out tentatively, "Are you still here?" I, Iluri, pray for your presence. ”

Then, she took a deep breath and made a great decision: "If you can remove Joel's curse and restore him to health, I am willing to give everything, including my life." ”

It's true that Iruli is very rebellious, but she is kind in her bones, extremely kind, the kind of person who is willing to sacrifice herself for her friends, a really good person.

As if in response to her call, not far in front of her, a dark purple tentacle phantom sprung up, slowly solidifying, and finally turned into a terrifying huge tentacle, constantly swaying.

Iluri hugged little Joel horizontally and slowly came to the tentacles, her tone calm, "No matter what kind of existence you are, whether you are good or evil. As long as you can save this poor child, as I said, I am willing to give you everything, whether it be loyalty or life, to take it from you. ”

The witch's declaration of allegiance meant that she would give up her faith, and she didn't care whether Qin Song was good or evil.

"Please!"
