Juventil is one of the most exclusive hotels in the city of Facero, and there is no one.

This is where the elven mission stays, and the choice of this location is not only for a place that is relatively in line with the aesthetic taste of the elves, but also for the requirements of their disguised identity - you must know that the vast majority of nobles are very delicate, and staying in those hotels that serve mercenaries are of low grade, not to mention the possibility of leaking the news under the mixture of fish and dragons, and it may even lead to death inexplicably, which is really not a wise choice.

On the contrary, being conspicuous is not something that cannot be accepted at all.

The mage thought, and pushed the door open.

"Ah, little Monia is back."

Quite a cheerful voice - its owner is none other than the only heir to the Elven throne, the owner of the blood of the Elven Forest, Her Royal Highness Isis Jean Eugramsil, the princess of the Elven Forest.

"Hmm." Monia answered, and then raised her head - the elf girl in front of her was about fourteen or fifteen years old, at the age of innocence and casualness, wearing a princess dress as white as a snow lotus blooming, a smile as warm as the winter sun, long pale blue hair pouring down like flowing water, and eyes similar to the night were filled with a certain smart aura unique to a girl, even the mage who suffered from it had to admit that she was still quite princess-like in terms of appearance and temperament alone.

But its intrinsic nature ...... There is no doubt that it is completely insulated from the princess.

"I said you......" The long tone was not deliberate, but ...... Monia lowered her body familiarly, dodged an imposing blow, and said, "A little nervous, okay?" ”

"No!" replied confidently, Her Royal Highness the Elven Princess has not stopped the offensive, but unfortunately has not captured the target once, "We should be in a relatively safe state before leaving the forest and arriving at Gable, why don't we relax at this time, and then enter the country of mountains, then we must not suffocate to death." ”

The mage nodded, and did not veto - it had been ten days since he left the Elven Forest, and the journey had indeed been a bit too comfortable, not to mention the possible ambush on the side of the church, and even the bandits, which had become more and more common on the mountain roads recently, had not encountered a few bands. But...... This kind of calm is not pleasant to study deeply.

"Even so, it's almost time to take your attention." Monia said that she really didn't have a good idea of what to do with Isis - the elven princess was more mature than she looked, but her way of acting was surprisingly childish, and it was a real headache, "You must know that this is only the calm before the storm, and the more comfortable our journey is, the more terrible the sniping will be when we enter Gable—this tranquility is only an illusion now, the enemy will not let us set foot on the top of the mountains, and they are also accumulating strength." ”

"Alright, alright, I know." The elven princess said, but it was not clear from her expression whether she had listened or not, "Then again, I seem to have heard Grandpa Klaus say that little Monia seems to have come to the Elven Forest from human society, right?" ”

"Yes." The mage was slightly stunned, then asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The shift in conversation is a bit abrupt, but in terms of experience alone, she doesn't have a secret to tell.

"It's nothing ......" The elven princess shook her head, did not answer the question, on the contrary, she also looked at this gap, and threw the mage to the ground, and the originally somewhat gloomy expression disappeared in an instant, "I caught you!" Small, Mo, Ni, Ya~"

One word at a time, and the tail note is long.

It's really careless...... The mage, who was pressed to the ground, did not speak, but turned his head.

"Well, I won this time." Isis said in a sweet voice, and then stared at the mage's side face, as if thinking about something, "How to punish little Monia...... Let me think...... I'll leave Monia to tell you the story tonight, I want to hear the story of Monia's mercenary days! ”

"Aha?" Conditions that were unexpected by the mage.

"Little Monia, if you don't agree...... the elven princess squinted at her, and said viciously, "I'll tickle you, and I won't let you sleep soundly tonight!" ”

"Okay, I'll throw in the towel." Cleanly, the mage raised his hands.

"That's right!" Isis said triumphantly, letting go of his body, and then seemed to remember something, put his index finger to his lips, and said as if threatening, "Explain it in advance, don't think about it!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Monia nodded numbly, but instead of saying yes when she got up, she said, "But wait a minute—the barrier hasn't been set up yet." ”

"That's it......" I don't know why, the elf princess's voice was a little lost.

"Don't worry, I'll be back later." The mage's heart softened, and he added, "It won't be much time. ”

"Hmm!" The girl nodded vigorously in response to the child's voice.

What a child...... Monia thought, and then took a step to carve out the basic prototype of the coat of arms around the main part of the room, then stuffed some rune traps in the corners, and finally finalized the main coat of arms in the central area, "This ...... Almost, right? ”

The barrier she chose was relatively simple, and could only serve as a basic warning and protection. However, she has limited materials now, and she simply doesn't have the energy to build a high-level barrier in a hotel where she only stays overnight - this simple barrier is definitely more than enough to deal with ordinary good deeds, and even if a professional is involved, it will buy her enough time to wake up from her sleep and take action.

"Okay? Monia. Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was watching from the sidelines, finally spoke up and said in a slightly nervous voice, "Hurry up, hurry up and tell me a story!" ”

What a anxious little guy...... The mage shook her head, she was not angry about such a trivial matter, but had a faint joy that she had finally regained the dominance, but she did not show this joy, but asked in a calm tone, "Are you talking about my time as a mercenary?" To be clear, my career as a mercenary in human society is only a few months, are you sure you want to listen? ”

"I want to listen, I want to listen!" The girl cried out, no different from a child.

"I can't help it." Monia said, in a rather old-fashioned tone, "I became a mercenary about three years ago,—— when I had just graduated from the academy and left the genre alone, intending to come to the Elven Forest through Mastan. Of course, you should also know how dangerous it is for elves to walk alone in human society, so I found a trustworthy mercenary group......"

The unfazed tone was eloquent, from the crusade in the lumberyard to the mercenary duel in the city of Mecarone, to the chance encounter between the city of the Holy Rose and Siyi, and finally the bloody storm caused by Aniji...... The scenes of the past unconsciously came to mind, and the memories that were gradually a little blurry were clear again.

I don't know, are you okay?

The mage couldn't help but think, and then drew a close to the story.

"Hey, hey! Monia, how did it end here? What happened after you fled into the forest? The elven princess asked, grabbing her skirt dissatisfied, and shaking violently, "Don't let the story break in the middle of it!" ”

"This is the end of the mercenary's story, and there's nothing to say after that." Monia shook her head, "It's to use the monsters in the forest to destroy the vengeful wolves, and then take the forest road all the way to the Elven Forest." ”

She wouldn't be so naïve to say anything about the path of her true name.

"Well......" Isis said, rolling his eyes, "I remember...... Little Monia mentioned in the story, you were a wanderer in the human world before? ”

"Well," Monia didn't deny, "that's right. ”

"Now." Suddenly, he rubbed over, "Monia, tell me your old story again!" ”

"Hmm...... All right. The mage thought for a moment, and there was no reason to refuse.

It would not be unacceptable if the mere telling of a few stories could calm the troublesome little princess—Monia thought she wouldn't admit that she was a little scared of the little one.

However, even so, she still didn't say yes, just shook her head: "Wait for tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow? Not deceiving? Isis asked, tilting his head, then holding out his little thumb, "Pull the hook." ”

"I won't lie to you, it's just that it's a little late today, and I have to hurry tomorrow." The mage explained, but did not refuse, and stretched out his little thumb to hook up with her, "Okay, now you can rest assured, right?" ”

"Hmm." The girl nodded, "Little Monia is the best!" ”

The prefix "small" is redundant, right? The mage's eyebrows were raised, but he didn't have a seizure, he just put on a straight face and said with a little impathy: "Go to bed!" ”

In a commanding tone, it was indeed late in the hour, and Monia was so emotionally involved in the storytelling that she had no idea how much time was around her—she would have to wake up early tomorrow morning, and she would have to hurry, and if she didn't get a good night's sleep, she would be in a terrible state of mind tomorrow—and a considerable part of the reason why she had postponed the storytelling had to be blamed.

"It's so late?" Some cute people stuck out their tongues, but the elf princess did not object, and obediently climbed into bed, rolled up the cover, and only showed a pair of big black eyes through the gap, and waited until the mage put out the alchemy lamp, then poked her head out and quietly said "good night".

"Good night." Monia replied naturally, and then lay down, the soft and comfortable feeling of velvet and the exhaustion of the day's travel, she quickly fell asleep.

"Hey," a voice seemed to ring in his ear, "Monia, have you slept?" ”

The mage opened his eyes sleepily, his consciousness slightly hazy.

"Haven't slept yet? Isis. She leaned sideways, looking in the direction the voice was coming from.

"No, I can't sleep a little." The elven princess said a little embarrassed, and then looked at her again and again, as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it, but in the end she bit her lip and still asked the question, "Oh, Monia...... Well, what do you think...... What kind of creature are humans? ”

"Humans?" Something is not very clear-headed.

"Yes, human." Isis repeated, then seemed to realize something, adding, "What do you think of humans...... Is it really bad? ”

"Bad? Mankind? Monia paused for a moment, then shook her head, "How is that possible?" ”

This is a subconscious answer that does not go through the brain.

"Really?" The girl muttered, looking at the little mage with a complicated face, her pink lips slightly opened, as if she had said something—but half-asleep, Monia didn't hear clearly, and she didn't have the heart to delve into it, she just turned over, and her consciousness sank into sleep again.

— until.

The first rays of light in the morning shine.

"It's good I didn't oversleep."

With that, the mage got up, and the fluffy ball on his nightcap shrugged up in front of him, swaying, swaying.

Last night, it seemed that I had a conversation with Her Royal Highness the pestering princess? Monia thought about it, but the specific memory was a little vague, looming in her mind - one hand covered her forehead, her gaze unconsciously deflected to the elf girl in the next bed, and then happened to meet the big smart eyes.

Already awake?

She thought about it, hesitated for a while, and then asked, "Your Royal Highness, did you tell me something last night?" ”

"Huh? This ......" Isis was stunned, unconsciously tilted his head, and then said in a slur "nothing...... No big deal. ”

It doesn't seem like a big deal, does it? Monia thought, but didn't intend to ask any more questions - everyone has their own little secrets, and there is no point in pursuing them until they are not close enough.

"Okay," she said, diversioning the subject, "now that you're awake, hurry up and get dressed - it's almost time to meet." ”

"Hmm!" The elven princess answered, then jumped out of bed and trotted in the direction of the bathroom.

"What a strange child......" Monia whispered to herself as her back vanished, and then looked out the window into the distance—it was the southeast, the direction of the land of mountains, and at this moment they were less than three days away from stepping into the mountains.

Three days later, the crisis could strike at any moment.

And then...... That's the real test.

The mage unconsciously clenched his fists—victory or defeat, life and death, all in three days' time.

It's all on that final journey.

Ps2: I don't know how the role of the princess is portrayed, it feels unsatisfactory, but I don't know what you think - I personally feel that the main flaw is that the personality is a little young? Please provide your valuable comments in this regard.
