Chapter 3: The vengeful wolves
Time always passed imperceptibly, and not long after leaving the temple, the hungry intestines, who had not eaten since yesterday, began to issue the highest level of warning to the three of them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info offends no one, no one will offend their own stomach, Monia takes the two little elves and starts the great business of foraging.
In terms of food, elves are actually not much different from humans, after all, they are all creations of primordial elves. It's just that elves prefer fruits and vegetables more than humans, and meat food appears on the table much less frequently than humans. Therefore, it has also given many people the illusion that elves are vegetarians.
Elves aren't vegans, and Monia isn't either. It's just that it's much easier to gather fruit than to catch prey. After setting up the humble trap without hope, the little mage took Liel and Fana and began to collect the fruit from the trees.
Surviving in the forest is not an easy task, and not all fruits are edible. Some fruits are poisonous, others are simply bait for aggressive plants to attract prey, and only a small part is ready to eat.
Fortunately, thanks to the unremitting efforts of the trio, the harvest went smoothly. Not only did the picking go well, but Monia's humble trap unexpectedly caught a pheasant.
"Mage is really handy, Sister Monia."
"Seconded."
When the little mage uses a spell to create a drinkable water source and ignites the stacked branches, Liel and Fana let out a heartfelt admiration. But then, they lowered their heads a little dejectedly: "It's a pity that we don't have the talent to become spellcasters. β
Rarely, this time Fana and Lil spoke in unison.
Regarding their talents, Monia knew for the first time that most of their mage qualifications needed to pass a series of spell tests before they could be determined, except for some talents who were obviously different from ordinary people. But Lil and Fana can say with certainty that the lich who wants to be their protector must have tested their talents.
The results should not be very good.
Monia looked at them, not knowing what to say to comfort them. For everyone, the affinity with the Aether is almost constant, even in the era of highly advanced spells in the game of her previous life, there were no talents to change spells and items.
"It's okay, Sister Monia." Lil tugged at the sleeve of the little mage, "Although Fana and I don't meet the standards of spellcasters, we are more than enough to be a warrior. β
"It's okay."
"yes, I see." The little mage nodded, did not continue the topic just now, squatted down, and carefully handled the roast chicken strung by the branches.
"Crackling, crackling."
The flames burned quietly, no one spoke, and it was a little scary to be quiet for a while.
"Well, it's finally done!" Finally, it was Monia who broke the awkward calm, and the little mage said in a cheerful tone, "Try my craft, although there are no flavors, I can be confident that my craft is top-notch when it comes to grilling." β
"Well, Sister Monia, you're welcome!"
"Thank you."
The atmosphere was suddenly much lighter, and the three little girls half-jokingly scrambled to have some overly sumptuous roast chicken for them. When the meal was over, the three of them were satisfied and lay on the side, and there was still a small half of the roast chicken left undivided.
Finally, looking at the remaining roast chicken, the little mage couldn't help but say:
"It's a bit of a waste."
"But it's too much, it's all because Sister Monia only eats so little."
"Seconded."
"I'd like to eat more, too, but ...... But I really can't eat it......"
"Woo~ Sister Monia blushed and explained, so cute!"
"Cute."
"You two! Don't take it for granted and say such shy things! The little mage jumped up like a kitten whose tail had been trampled, and his face was almost dripping with water, "I'm not cute at all, not cute at all!" β
"Sister Monia is shy?"
"Shy."
"Harm...... Harm...... Shy...... Something, how could it be! The blushing little mage stomped his foot, then turned and climbed up the tree, leaning against the trunk, and staring into the distance.
"Comfort."
The silver-haired and silver-eyed older sister tugged at her cuff and pointed at Monia, who was leaning against the trunk of the tree.
"Obviously, my sister first thought that ** Sister Monia was a very interesting thing, why did you want me to come to clean up the aftermath in the end." Liel and Fana looked at each other for a while, and finally retreated in front of Sanwu, "I understand, you are a sister, I am a sister......"
Lil, with a bitter face, reluctantly climbed the tree, followed by Fana.
Quietly approaching, Lil reached out and covered the little mage's eyes: "Guess who I am?" β
"Lil." The little mage replied, "As soon as you hear this sweet voice, you can guess, and of the two of you, your voice is the sweetest and beautiful, and Fana's eyes are the most attractive. β
"Sister Monia isn't angry?" With a tentative tone, Lil asked.
"I'm not angry, just a little bit unused to being called cute."
Monia muttered, her voice subtle.
"But ......" seemed to hear something in the little mage's subtle voice, and Lil continued, "Sister Monia is really cute~"
After hesitating for a while, Monia finally lowered her head slightly and blushed and whispered, "Thank you." β
"No thanks, who made the blushing-faced sister Monia so cute~" The smug Lil didn't notice the annoyed and angry person behind her, "Hey! Ay! Sister Monia! Don't push me, don't push me! If I push it again, I'm going to fall! It's really going to fall! β
"Hey!"
The branch where Monia stayed was not high, and falling from here would only suffer a little flesh and skin.
"I'm sorry." Insincerely, the little mage said expressionlessly on the branch.
"Kill yourself." On the side, the silver-haired and silver-eyed sister also complained expressionlessly.
"You ...... You ......," Lil, who fell to the ground, pointed to the two men on the tree, "both bullying me!" β
In this regard, Monia and Fana tacitly turned their heads.
ββββββββββββ forced to be helpless to divide the lineββββββββββββ
Joy is just the spice of the journey, and boredom is the main theme of the journey.
After a short rest, it's time to start the wayfinding journey again. When they were full of energy and went on the journey again, trouble also happened unexpectedly.
"Be careful!"
Monia was the first to notice that something was wrong, and during her long life in exile, the little mage had long been accustomed to maintaining a certain amount of vigilance at all times. At one of her inadvertent glances, an ominous dark shadow lurking behind her leaped into her eyes.
It's a demon wolf.
Monia, who was very familiar with their aura infected by the Demon Abyss, raised her vigilance to the maximum the moment she spotted them, and quietly hid the two elf Lori beside her in her arms like old hens, carefully equipped with spells.
How did they get in?
While chanting the incantation in a low voice, the little mage pondered the question on the other side.
Storm wolves are aggressive and destructive, and it stands to reason that their destination should be the densely populated Aniji, not the unfamiliar and uninhabited forest...... Wait a minute! Are you following in my footsteps?
Thinking of a terrible result, Monia couldn't help but gasp, and even the spell in her hand was almost interrupted, causing the spell to backfire. It's not that the little mage has too poor psychological endurance, but that it may be too terrifying, and if it's true, she has no way to deal with it!
Monia knew that demon wolves had always had a tradition of bloody revenge. In the game of the previous life, there were many lone players who were retaliated by the entire wolf pack for killing a demon wolf, and finally died in the wilderness. Although the games in the previous life are more or less different from reality, they should be similar in the habits of the demon wolf.
Others who kill an ordinary demon wolf will encounter a bloody siege by the wolves, so what kind of revenge will she face for killing the first wolf in the wolf pack?
That would be -- never die!
If it's really the revenge of the wolves, how should she deal with it? It's a little easier to say alone, but with the two little girls beside her, she has no certainty that she can escape from the clutches of the wolves. But it's not a good idea to split up with them, this forest is dangerous, and there are quite a few carnivorous plants just to see along the way, not to mention other dangers, both bright and dark.
The Elven's Word of Nature is indeed a very useful natural ability, but most of the creatures in the mage's Locks are not pure natural products, but more creatures that have been modified by the mage's alchemy. The communication between the two little Loli and them is basically just a bunch of meaningless hiss every time, and those who should run away still run away, and those who should attack still attack. Leaving them alone in this dangerous forest is giving up the possibility of their survival.
What to do?
It may have been even bigger to live alone, but the little mage couldn't make the decision to abandon Liel and Fana. There is some inner persistence that is more important than your own life.
Gathering his thoughts, the little mage turned around the moment the demon wolf pounced, and the fireball in his hand turned into a ball of flame to engulf it, and the demon wolf's sudden miserable howl resounded throughout the forest.
"Sister Monia, this is ...... just now"
Lil and Fana looked at Monia with puzzled eyes at the same time.
"Shh......h
The little mage held his index finger to his lips and signaled them to be quiet.
And thenβ
"Whew!"
The howls of the wolves echoed through the woods!
"Let's go!"
Sure enough, it's the worst possible scenario.
Monia smiled wryly and pulled up the two little girls who were still in shock, and ran reflexively in the direction they came.
Now, the only hope is ......
The little mage stared ahead, at the last hope behind the layers of forest.
No matter what awaits them there, whether it is hope or despair that comes to them in the end, there is only one last stand!
