Vivien and I resumed our journey after two months in Mainster, Sasalyn replenished us with the necessities of the trip, including food, water, fire tools, improvised tents, etc., while Memphis insisted on personally guiding us and escorting us away, accompanying us all the way north from Mainster through the "Grim Reaper's Heart", and after a few days of travel, we already saw the hilly terrain on the edge of the desert. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Memphis, send you a thousand miles, you need a farewell, you go back! Don't get down to business for us. I stopped my horse, looked at the lead-gray hills on the edge of the desert and the pale green grass between them, and said lightly.

"Alex, let me give me another ride!" Memphis said reluctantly.

I shook my head, smiled and said, "Don't look like you're going to live or die!" We'll be back in Mainster soon, and we'll have a long time to go from here to the next when we can fight side by side! Go back, the people of the desert need you—instead of wasting your time on meaningless send-offs, focus your time and energy on the cause of Meinster. I hope to see a different Meinster next time! ”

"Alex, my king! I promise you, when you return to your kingdom again, I will show you a brand new Meinster's! Memphis said in no uncertain terms.

"Brother Meng, you go back early, don't make your sister-in-law anxious. The newlywed Yan'er has neglected his wife for too long, and it is easy to fall in love and get married! Vivien quipped.

"You girl!" Memphis couldn't help blushing, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Then, Memphis looked stunned, hugged his fists at us, and said, "The future is precious!" ”

"You too!"

"Brother Meng, take care! Good bye! ”

Memphis watched our background disappear from view before leaving.

After two days we passed through the gray hills, and after two days we entered the inaccessible mountain forest, which is essentially the dividing line between the Elven Forest and the Lost Forest, and if we continue to the west, we will reach the Fairy Forest, where we will reach first, and if we go east, we will reach the Lost Forest.

The Fairy Forest is the second largest forest on the Shenglun Continent, and the largest Lost Forest, it is a zone where humans are discouraged, and it is said that because of the hatred of the elves for humans after the Bailing War, it is not easy for humans who dare to enter, and the Lost Forest is a natural labyrinth, except for Mr. Vitan, I have not heard of anyone who can enter and exit safely.

After entering the fairy forest, I raised my vigilance to the highest level, and I was on full alert, although I had the token of Mr. Vitan, but if I didn't have time to explain that I was killed by a hostile elf, it would be a great wrong.

The ancient forest in the forest is towering, the vines are entwined, the ground is full of roots and moss, the bushes are mixed, and rare birds and animals can be seen everywhere, but most of them are species that I can't name, such as the giant pink bat that appears in the daytime, the peacock that flies with a beautiful tail, and the animal with the characteristics of a rabbit but full of spikes like a spiny moth......

The early morning sun casts a golden shadow through the gaps in the leaves, the fresh air is filled with the smell of moss and rotting wood, and all kinds of small beasts peek out of the trees and the jungle and look at us with curious eyes. Being in the primeval forest gives us all a sense of peace and tranquility in nature.

However, not far away, an animal roar, mixed with the sorrowful screams of a child, tightened our relaxed minds again.

We followed the direction of the sound source, and after bypassing a dense forest, we saw a huge monster with two heads and six legs, and two sharp horns on each head, approaching the little elven girl leaning on a big tree, and next to it lay a human man in brown clothes, whose right arm and chest were scratched by sharp claws with three inches of blood, and the blood continued to seep out, and it seemed that even if he did not die, he had lost his mobility and passed out.

And although the little girl of the elf clan was not injured, she seemed to be overly frightened, although her hands were still condensed with light magic elements to send out magic light darts, but they could not cause the slightest damage to the monster, but made it even more angry.

A little girl of the elf clan and a human man, what a strange combination!

I didn't have time to think about the strange inside story, so I rushed out with Vivien, withdrew from the "unnamed", and stood in front of the little girl.

When the little girl saw us appear, she seemed to have grabbed a life-saving grass from despair, and said with a sob: "Big brother...... Big Sister ...... Help me......"

I didn't answer, but stared intently at the giant monster, which was supposed to belong to the monster category, covered in black scales, with only a triangular red fur exposed at the union of its neck and torso, and its body propped up on three hind feet, two of which were as tall as me, with a red compound eye and a bloody mouth under the long pointed horns on both heads, and three sharp claws on each of the three forefeet. When the monster saw us appear, it seemed to sense some kind of dangerous smell, and it stopped its advance, and stared at me vigilantly.

The monster suffocated, swung its sharp claws and approached me, and I rushed towards it with great speed, and "Weiming" slashed into the air, slashing at the oncoming claws, but instead of slashing as I imagined, it made a metallic sound. I had no choice but to take advantage of the situation and sweep the "Weiming" over its lower abdomen, but again in vain, but the powerful sword fighting aura triggered by the sword made the painful monster appear more and more angry, and frantically attacked me.

I used my dexterity to lure the monster away from Vivien and the elf girl, but the space was limited, and I was finally cornered under a big tree by the monster.

The enraged monster let out a piercing roar, and all three of its front paws swept at me—but that was the time I was hoping for!

I flew along the tree, jumped up, and floated in the air. The monster's claws swept over the trunk of the tree, and the tree was cut off at the waist.

And my attack was launched, I launched the beautiful sword technique "Wind God Imperial Dance" from top to bottom, and "Weiming" triggered a sharp wind whirlwind lightning to pierce into the triangular hairy area of the monster's neck and body, and then kicked my feet on the monster's body, quickly dialed out "Weiming", landed on the ground, and froze.

At this moment, black liquid began to gush out of the monster's wound, and the body trembled violently, and then fell in my direction. I dodged out of the way, and the monster fell to the ground, making a muffled sound and then no more.

I put away the "unnamed" and went to Vivien, who had already used her healing magic to heal the man's injuries.

"Thank you! Big brother, big sister! "The little elven girl, after dispelling her fear, looked at Vivien and me curiously.

"What's your name?" I also looked at this elven girl: with long elven hair and pointed ears, a pair of big sparkling eyes and a small nose embedded in her pink face, she looked about the same as a human ten-year-old child, but the elf's life was far longer than that of humans, so I wondered, she was older than me. However, the mental and physical maturity of elves is much slower than that of humans, right? So there should be nothing wrong with saying that she is still a child.

It's just that the beauty of the elves is really even better than the rumors! She will definitely be a big beauty when she grows up! If you go to the world of human beings, you will definitely be overwhelmed. Hehe...... What the hell was I thinking? Could it be that I, Alec, have pedophilic tendencies...... I smiled self-deprecatingly.

"My name is Sasha!" The little girl replied obediently, "What are the names of the big brother and big sister?" ”

"My name is Alex and her name is Vivien."

At this time, Vivian had already finished treating the man's injuries and came over, and when she saw Sasha, she seemed to have discovered something she loved, took her hand, stroked her pink little face, and said happily: "Your name is Sasha, so cute and beautiful!" ”

"Big sister is so beautiful! Big brother is also good-looking! You're prettier and more handsome than our elves! I thought that human beings were as ugly as that Luo Bai! Sasha pointed at the man.

The human man was still in a coma, and he was indeed not good-looking, but he couldn't be described as ugly, but in terms of the aesthetic concept of the elves who were used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women, such a description was not an exaggeration.

Then I remembered my first question and asked Sasha, "Sasha, how did you end up with a human man?" You didn't stay in the elves and ran here, and you were attacked by monsters? ”

"I ...... I was kidnapped by this thief who broke into our elven race......"

I noticed that Sasha's words were full of light, but she didn't mean anything, and she walked towards the human man with the word "unnamed", and said coldly: "This person is really the scum of the human race, let me kill him with a sword, so as not to leave a scourge!" ”

"Big brother, don't!" Sasha exclaimed.

※※※

The thief, who had been unconscious, had already stood up, knelt down in front of me, and said with tears on his face: "Hero! Spare the little ones! It's none of my business! I just broke into the elf kingdom and wanted to steal something, but this little girl found out and forced me to take her out to see the outside world...... If I refuse, she'll expose me ......."

I still put my sword around his neck and said coldly, "I know you are pretending to be unconscious!" Then he said to Sasha, "Is what he said true?" ”

"Really, I'm a professional thief, not a robber! People of our profession can only steal things, never kidnap people for extortion! The man named Luo Bai hurriedly said, "Aunt Elf, my little princess!" Just say something, otherwise, my life will not be guaranteed, for the sake of the injuries that I took you out and protected you for you, you can save me! ”

"Shut up! I didn't ask you! After I drank Luo Bai and silenced my mouth, I softened my tone and said to Sasha, "Sasha, is what he said true?" Your words will make the difference between life and death. ”

"Big brother...... I...... That's right, I didn't mean to lie to you......" Sasha confirmed his words.

I nodded, glanced at the thief who fell to the ground, and put away the "unnamed", the inside story was similar to my own guess, I originally suspected when the thief had the style of captivity. The idea that he was going to be slaughtered was just a pretense and a show, and although this method was unkind, it was the most direct and effective way to get the elf's eccentric little girl and the shrewd and cunning thief to tell the truth. Let me bluff casually, and the two of them will honestly tell the inside story.

"Sasha, why are you lying?"

"I'm just talking about it?"

"Why do you want to leave the Elf Forest?"

"I've heard there's a lot of fun stuff out there."

I smiled wryly, this was a quirky and daring elven child. "The outside world is actually not fun at all, and it is very dangerous, even more terrifying than the monster just now."

"But I really want to go out and have a look, I'm always in the elven kingdom, and I'm suffocated." Sasha pouted.

"Sasha," Vivien touched her head and soothed, "It's going to be dangerous for you to go out into the outside world now, there are a lot of bad people out there, and you don't have enough self-protection ability, so when you grow up, go out again." ”

"Isn't that another ten years to go?" Sasha pouted, looking unhappy, but she didn't object, maybe the previous horror of the monster also made her aware and aware of the danger to a certain extent.

But I learned from her words that the elves grow up in a much longer lifecycle, and that the elves may take about the same time from childhood to adulthood as humans, but the transition from adulthood to old age is quite slow, and it is the latter process that makes the elves live much longer than humans, thus overturning my previous conjecture about the life cycle of elves.

At this time, I remembered another thing and said to Luo Bai, "How did you enter the elven kingdom through the elven enchantment?" ”

A strange energy barrier has been laid around the elven kingdom, which can only be passed by the elves themselves or homogeneous creatures, and other creatures, such as humans and dwarves, want to pass through the elven barrier, unless they have very strong magical strength, it is impossible to do so. And it is not surprising that Luo Bai was able to get out of the elven enchantment with the help of Sasha, but it was not so easy to enter the elven kingdom in the first place. The strength shown by Yi Luo Bai is definitely not enough to pass through the enchantment, and it is strange that he actually did it, which is very unreasonable.

Seeing my question, Luo Bai showed a smug look on his face and replied, "Hero, you must know that we are quite patient as thieves. In order to enter the elven kingdom, I waited here for three months, carefully observing the changes of the elven enchantment, and finally let me find that every time there is a night in March, the power of the elven enchantment will be particularly weak, and it is not threatening at all, but the time is very short, and this phenomenon only lasts for one hour. However, for a great thief, one hour is enough for me to do many things and loot a great deal of treasure. It had been going well, and that night happened to be the time for the elves to hold a festival, which was a good time for me to start, but I didn't expect to meet this little ghost...... Elf. ”

Luo Bai's pride finally turned into frustration, and it seemed that he was quite miserable by Sasha.

I said angrily, "And the greatest thief!" I think you're the most failed thief, being played by a child. ”

I then said to Sasha, "I'll take you back to the Elven Kingdom, and we'll stop by anyway." ”

Sasha suddenly remembered something she was afraid of, and said to me nervously, "Brother Alex, don't tell my sister that I ran away secretly!" My sister is very fierce, and I will be miserable if I run away...... Just say...... Let's just say I got lost...... Meet you in the forest. ”

I smiled, and this clever and eccentric little girl, no wonder she called me so affectionately, and she asked me, so she teased, "Would your sister believe you to tell a lie like this?" ”

"That'...... Let's just say that this thief kidnapped me......"

"Since your sister is so terrible, and he is not afraid of being slaughtered by your sister, do you think he will be willing to help you lie?"

"So what...... Big brother, you want to save me! It would be terrible if I let my sister know! If...... If you promise to help, I promise to marry you when I grow up...... Or if you can't wait, I'll introduce my sister to you, if Sister Vivien isn't jealous...... Sasha was in a hurry, tears were already rolling in her eyes, and she was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Sister Vivian listened"! Sigh and said, "Don't worry, I'm not jealous!" ”

I glared at Vivien in disgust and said, "Why are you here to make amends?" ”

Then he said to Sasha, "Who taught you these strange ideas?" ”

But he muttered in his heart: What a strange tutor!

"No one taught me, fairy tales say so, the prince saves the princess, and the princess is going to marry the prince...... Big brother had already saved me once before, so ...... So I was too young to marry Brother Alex, so I had to marry my sister to Brother Alpha......"

Fairy tales are really bad reading, and they are not shallow to poison people! I thought with a wry smile, and said, "When you introduce such a terrible sister to me, it is as if you are passing on the disaster to me!" ”

"My sister is a bit fierce, but she is very beautiful, and she is the most beautiful flower in our elves—everyone says so! Moreover, she was also very kind to me when I didn't do anything wrong...... Brother Alex, you must help me! Since you saved me once, you can't leave me alone! ”

"Alex, you just have to think of a way!" Seeing the pitiful Sasha, even Vivien begged.

"Then let's ask Mr. Thief to do this favor and be wronged!" I looked at Luo Bai with a wicked smile.

"Don't smile at me like that...... Don't look at me with such a terrible gaze...... I don't do anything that might risk my life! Hearing my words, Luo Bai almost jumped up.

"Mr. Thief, if you promise me, I will guarantee your safety...... If you don't say yes...... Just take care of it! I moved the word "unnamed" and said coldly.

"Really...... Can you keep me safe? You're not...... Lie to me? ”

"Don't worry, I may be a bad person, but I rarely lie!"

"That'...... I'll do it......" Luo Bai weakly agreed, and in the face of a crisis that might be imminent, the calculating thief chose to avoid the former first between near and far troubles.

"Don't be too forced, I never like to force people."

"I don't ...... reluctantly"

"Well, you swear in the name of the god of thieves, Sverdtalia, that you promise to help you with this, and you will not change your mind halfway."

"I ......" swear by the gods that thieves believe in, and a person who is a thief cannot betray the promise he has made.

"Don't you swear?"

"I swear...... Remember to keep me safe. Luo Bai had to compromise.

"Brother Alex, let's go back, I'll take you to visit the Elven Kingdom! I know best which places are the most fun inside! Sasha said, tugging at the corner of my coat.

"Okay, let's go......" I stopped abruptly, feeling an unusual ripple in the air.

"Alex, what's the matter?" Vivien asked, seeing my strange behavior.

"There's murder in the air, we're surrounded." I replied, holding the "unnamed" to my chest and ready to go.

"Come out!" I spoke coldly to the woods.

More than a dozen people came out and surrounded us in the middle of the clearing.

Pointed ears, good or beautiful figure, close-fitting battle armor, half of men and women, he is a member of the elf race, and the leader is actually a female warrior of the elf race.
