Fingertips gently run over the cheeks...... Then, the crimson eyes slowly opened.

"Hey, you didn't sleep." His gaze met the smile of the elven archmage who had leisurely stopped his hand—a rare smile showed a little tenderness, "I thought you would fall asleep soon after such a toss." ”

"Hmm," Monia nodded a little confused, she was really not good at dealing with such an "abnormal" elven archmage, and she was a little embarrassed to cover most of her face with a snow-white quilt, and cautiously poked out her eyes, "Lord Moya, what is the final result, have those intruders been dealt with, and Esveta, that is, the elven mage in my group, how is she, okay?" ”

"It's a shame they escaped again, but I don't think they'll make a comeback." The elven archmage said casually, without a trace of regret on his face, but with a bit of forbearance, "As for your friend...... You don't have to worry or feel guilty that the other person kept her promise and didn't do anything to her – so she was in a safe and warm place when you were in danger. ”

"Thank you" regained a little feeling, she looked for an opportunity to get up - she was too embarrassed to get up from the bed in front of someone she didn't know so well - even if she didn't even take off the outermost mage robe, just to find comfort and warmth to burrow into the bed, "Lord Moya......"

In the middle of speaking, she suddenly stopped talking - time seemed to stop here for a moment, and the next moment she suddenly got up, completely forgetting her initial scruples, "Anyway, why do you know about this?" ”

"What are you talking about...... "The index finger against her lower lip seemed a little confused, but apparently it was just a disguise, "Esveta?" I have to say, little Monia, you handled it beautifully. ”

"Even if you praise me like this, I won't be happy at all!" The half-lifted quilt - Monia had completely forgotten about etiquette and demeanor at this time, "Since you know about this, then you must be able to help at that time!" By all means! ”

"Yes," replied the elven archmage naturally, "but I wonder what little Monia can do?" ”

"But I almost died, you know!" It's not so much an inquiry as a catharsis.

"I know," replied, Mo Ya restrained the indifference on his face, squatted down, and looked at her very seriously, "So I have always stayed by your side, when you are really in a life and death crisis, make sure that I can save you in time." ”

"Yes...... Yes. "The vexatious fuss ended here, after all, it was just an emotional catharsis, and a little thought about it knew that she knew her impulse, but she still had some questions that she wanted the elven archmage to answer, such as—"Even if I am a little presumptuous, I still want to get an answer from you—since when did you include me in the scope of the surveillance?" Lord Moya. ”

"What a sensitive child," the Elven Archmage tilted his head, spreading his hands helplessly, and then pointed his finger at her, "I'll answer you later—though, it's worth paying more attention to now...... Who the hell did you learn this bad habit from, go to bed without taking off your clothes...... As an elder, I really can't stand your unruly attitude towards life. ”

"Huh?" Subconsciously bowed his head, and the mage buried his head in extreme embarrassment, then pulled up the quilt and covered it again.

"It's said that you don't have to care so much when no one is around," with a sigh, Moya pulled the mage out of the bed, straightened her like a doll, and then carefully combed her somewhat disheveled hair and the folds on her clothes, "Treat me like this as a ...... Forget it, I'll tell you later...... It doesn't have to be repeated again. ”

Tell me...... What the?

Burying her head in her breast, which had not yet begun to develop, and looking down at the non-existent ants, Monia thought with some embarrassment.

"Okay...... "Okay," the elven archmage looked the little mage up and down very seriously, "it's not bad—but the shyness of the problem really needs to be corrected." ”

I'm very strong!

Monia would love to refute this, but she also understands that being strong in battle and being strong in life are two completely different areas.

"Forget it...... It's not like you can change it once or twice. Looking at Monia, who raised her head and quickly buried it again, the elven archmage's face showed a rare look of distress, "Before solving this problem, it's better to explain things clearly - follow me." ”

She held out her hand.

After a brief pause, the little mage stopped.

Then everything around me dissipated like a mirror, and what appeared in front of me was...... A garden?

A real forest, lush with birds and flowers.

"This is the real World Tree Courtyard," said the Elven Archmage, who was not without pride, "and it is exactly the half-plane I planned at the beginning - I just didn't expect that the World Tree of Yggdrasil would be able to expand the half-plane, so many of my previous designs could not be developed." Luckily, in this area, most of my previous setups are still working. ”

"World Tree Courtyard ......" Indeed, this place is not big, it is only equivalent to a courtyard - although it is still a little unacceptable for an archmage who has entered the legendary realm to maintain the operation of a half-plane of this size, it is not an incredible thing, but she still can't understand...... "Why did you bring me here?"

"It's just that there's something to be done," Moya replied casually, "just by the way." ”

Just drop by? Monia couldn't accept this answer for a while—I'm afraid that the only thing in the World Tree Courtyard that needs to be dealt with by the Elven Archmage is the World Tree, right? However, the World Tree is the foundation of the elves, and it is definitely a secret among secrets, why would she bring such a "living person" into such an important place? Or is it just a drop-by...... Nothing more?

"Although we don't know what their intentions are," Moya, who was leading the way, did not notice the reaction of the little mage behind him, and just said to himself, "but the target of the invaders is undoubtedly the sapling of the World Tree. ”

"Saplings of the World Tree?" Monia is a good listener compared to irresponsible explainers, especially when the topic is relevant to what she is going through.

"Yes," the Elven Archmage nodded, "although it is not known how they did it, the World Tree seedlings in the center of the World Tree Courtyard have been contaminated...... Of course, this is a lie. ”

The serious words were suddenly mixed with discord, which made Monia's anger rise - but what made her even more aggrieved was that she really had no way to deal with the other party.

I can't get along with this guy, I can't get along at all.

Again, she confirmed.

"Actually, I'm not completely lying to you......" the Elven Archmage smiled in a mischievous victory, apparently Monia's reaction was expected, "If he had seen through my last layer of defenses, the World Tree seedlings would have been contaminated - but thankfully, he didn't succeed." ”

"What's the last layer of defense?" Suppressing her annoyance, Monia asked.

"I call it the world of mirrors." "As the name suggests, this is the inverted world—all that you see is not real, it's just a reflection of the real world—it's only the reflection of the saplings of the World Tree that has been polluted by the invaders...... However, it should not be taken lightly, and if it is not dealt with as soon as possible, there is a high risk that the contamination will be fed back to the real seedlings through the connection between the real and the mirror. ”

"That's right......" The little mage lowered her head, and for a moment her mind was confused—Moya seemed to have exceeded the level of trust in her, and even telling her the so-called final defense in such detail really made her a little dazed. What worries her more is the so-called pollution...... The almost miraculous creation that can pollute the primordial elves can only be imagined......

Demon Abyss.

The destroyer of all wills, the ultimate enemy.

Monia clenched her palms - no matter what, this was an enemy that could not be avoided, but she really didn't expect that she would make contact with them so quickly for a second time...... Wait—the magician I first came into contact with...... Before being tainted, he was an archmage who stepped into the realm of legends...... Couldn't it be such a coincidence?

In this era, the will of the Demon Yuan has obviously not mastered the skills of a demonic mage, and encountering a mage may be accidental, but it can be a second ...... Especially if you limit yourself to stepping into legendary territory, which is even less likely, it's simply impossible.

"What's wrong?" Noticing the change in the little mage's expression, Moya asked.

"No, nothing." Monia diflected slightly, "It's just pollution...... What can pollute the world's trees...... Even if it's just a seedling of the secondary generation. ”

"Well," the Elven Archmage said solemnly, "that's what I care about as well—not only can this substance pollute the World Tree seedlings, but even I will be eroded to a certain extent...... It's always reassuring. ”

Of course, I can't feel at ease...... The Demon Abyss is a kind of existence with an unknown body, as if it is the end of the world, not to mention the archmage, even the will of the legend and even the gods and even the ether, and they are extremely afraid of it - in the game, even if all the races and forces in the world of Aarons eliminate their differences and fight against it together, the final result is nothing more than a long-lasting stalemate...... There are even indications that if it weren't for the influx of players in the Year of Flowers, participating in a variety of battles and taking on a variety of missions, the balance of victory would have tipped in that unacceptable direction.

This is the Demon Abyss.

The ultimate enemy of this world.

In any case, Monia has no room for escape, because it is not a certain race, nor a certain force, but the whole world—there is no reason to destroy simply for the sake of destruction.

She had to strangle it, for herself and for the sake of those around her...... It's for the whole world.

PS: Why don't you make the information public, it's actually very simple - the source of the information is unknown, and even if it does, people who haven't really confronted it won't believe its horror, but will push themselves to the forefront.

Ps2: I thought that the consequence of making up for 10 episodes of the monthly magazine girl in a row was just facial paralysis, but I didn't expect it...... Stiff ...... Stiff neck! ~~~~(>_<)~~~~

Ps3: After a cursory run, it shouldn't be a big problem...... Right?
