Chapter 18: A Mysterious Mission
"Mission?" Bibo stood up, patted the dirt on his buttocks, and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean??" ”
Luna reached out and pulled out an egg-sized object from the small leather pouch around her waist and handed it to Bibo, "Eat it!" Replenish a little stamina, rest for a while, and we'll have to keep walking. Seeing that he refused to move, Luna took out one of her own and continued to reach out to Bibo while eating, "Don't worry, this is my own food."www.biquge.info ”
Bibo was already hungry, he took a careful bite of the food, refreshing and smooth, not like the fruit of a plant, not like a snack made of flour, although there was only a small one, but after eating, Bibo suddenly did not feel hungry, and the fatigue seemed to disappear, "What kind of food is this?" I don't know what it's made of at all. ”
"Well, it tastes good!" Luna smirked, "I brought this from Ethanwater, uh, there's not much left, I made it myself before I left, using the best ingredients from the forests of our continent, including wild mushrooms, sprouts of fragrant plum grass, and ......."
"Huh? Wait a minute! Bibo interrupted the elf with a wave of his hand, "You mean you're coming from the eastern continent of Ethanwater, and you're here?" ”
"Yes, I've been on the road from our kingdom for a long time, taking a boat to Sunset Town, and then here, the Whispering Forest, ah, this is really not at all comparable to the forest of our kingdom, no wonder our people rarely come here, there really isn't even a decent tree, in our place, any of our towns, it's all on a whole tree, you know......" Luna began to babble about her continent and the elves.
"Don't, beautiful elf lady, can you please answer my question?" Bibo scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, "What the hell is going on?" Luna, what do you mean by mission? Does it have anything to do with me? ”
"Oh good!" Luna smiled embarrassedly, revealing a whole row of white teeth, like beautiful pearls, "About a month ago, our elder said that he would send an elven warrior to the continent of Lannos to carry out a mission, and when it comes to the bravest warriors, of course I am the one who will do it, so I came, I really have never been on a ship for such a long time, you know, I really get dizzy every day, I have never felt so bad in my life, forehead," looking at Bibo's desperate expression, Luna stuck out her tongue, "Ahem." , the elder told me that in the Whispering Forest, you will meet a human boy from Lannos, he will be hunted down by others, and your mission is to save him. ”
"Huh? How is this possible? How can you, Elders, be unpredictable? Bibo's eyes widened, "Is this also magic?" ”
"I don't know, the elder has always been sad lately, he told us that something very bad will happen, and said that the world will be invaded by the demons again, but he doesn't seem to have a way, he also quietly let me come, because it seems that the other adults in the kingdom don't know, our elder is very good, he can really predict some things in the future, this time he picked me from dozens of us, I also asked him, he said that he can't describe it very clearly, it's just like a dream, These images flashed through my mind," Luna stared at Bibo, her eyes full of enthusiasm, "That's why I'm here, I'm here for you!" The elders said that this is my fate, and maybe I can really do something for this world. ”
"This, what about next?" Looking at Luna's face, Bibo shrugged, "Luna, ahem, and then what?" ”
"I don't know." Luna shook her head.
"Huh?" Bibo almost jumped, "So where are we going?" Didn't you just say you were going to keep walking? ”
"Yes, the elder said, let's keep walking, he said the direction is north."
"And then?"
"There is no more!"
"Uh...... All right! Bibo thought for a moment, "That's so, since your mission is to save me, then you have completed the most important part, and then, your elders have not made it clear, and go west, I will go to the Rust Defense Station, there are my companions, I am absolutely safe, and besides, I will join the Rust Legion there, and kill those hateful orcs or demons, why don't you just tell me where the west is, or we will go together, you continue west, take a boat back to your kingdom, and return to your elders, how about it?" ”
"Eun,......" Luna said firmly, "no, we're going north!" ”
"Huh?" Bibo was about to cry, "Miss Elf, I won't play with you anymore, forget it, I'll go by myself!" ”
"You dare!" Luna frowned suddenly, drew her arrow, drew her longbow and aimed it at Bibo, "You must go north with me, and I won't leave the forest, the elder said that after completing your mission, I will go to the east of the Whispering Forest to find my people." ”
The elf's arrows began to gather blue and white light, Bibo wanted to cry without tears, this was simply the most speechless thing he had encountered, forget it, since he was already unable to distinguish the direction, it was better to go north with her, since the elf elders had predicted these things, it must really be necessary to go north, fortunately, he was out of danger, and the important thing was that the flame stone was not lost, and it did not fall into the hands of others.
Also, looking at Luna's outstretched hand, Bibo remembered that the elves also use magic, so it would be nice to get guidance from the elves. "Hey, alright! All right! My beautiful elf lady, Luna Group, then you lead the way! Bibo spread his hands, "Since I also said that this is all arranged by fate, then let's set off and see what we will encounter." ”
Luna smiled when she heard Bibo say this, and put away her longbow, "Let's go!" ”
"Do you still need to fly? Just jumping around in a tree? Bibo is looking forward to the clouds soaring again, the moon has come out, and the scenery will be even more beautiful.
"Haha, no!" Luna whispered, "I've run out of natas, and I won't be able to do it until tomorrow." Oh yes, how should you translate the lingua franca of human beings, uh, it's mana, energy, yes, that's what it means, you know? ”
Bibo nodded, and Luna continued, "Our elven magic, unlike yours, you just used, I know it should be a human blessing type spell, which requires chanting spells or medium materials, we," the elf said triumphantly, "Just think, do you understand?" Just think about it, and you're good to go. ”
"Well, so am I," Bibo scratched his head, "I also use to think, concentrate, and then it's okay......"
"Won't it?" Luna paused, turned to look at Bibo, and showed an incredulous expression, "I've never heard of it, how can humans ...... So, you can demonstrate it for me! ”
Bibo nodded, after eating Luna's food, until now, he was full of energy, so he concentrated, abandoned distracting thoughts, stabilized his breathing, and released the power of concentration, first attached to his body, Bibo's eyes gradually turned red, and the whole person seemed to be full of strength, as if his physique had become stronger, and then, Bibo attached the power of concentration to his short bow, and the arrows began to emit a faint red light, and the red lightning was ready to go.
"Not bad, not bad!" Luna clapped her hands and laughed, "Indeed, this is very similar to our way, come on, come on, try to see if you can release this power directly?" ”
"Like a mage, unleash a fireball or lightning attack?" Bibo shook his head, "I can't, I don't know how to do it, and, like you said, I don't know any spells or what the material is. ”
"No, no, no, it's not the kind of elemental attack," Luna continued, "You try, when your Nata, uh, energy converges at one point, you can feel, just like just now, attach it to a weapon, that's what it feels like, release it directly, like this!" With that, the elf drew his longbow, and the arrows began to glow faintly blue, just like just now, and when he got closer, Bibo was taken aback.
It turned out that there were no arrows on the longbow at all, the thin blue and white light, like an arrow, this is an invisible magic arrow, Bibo couldn't help but admire, and remembered that it was no wonder that those attackers just now retreated, there were no physical arrows, such an attack is indeed like a battle mage's magic attack, a battle mage can kill dozens of people casually when he is well prepared.
"That's all I have for my Nata," Luna said, "I'm not like you humans who can recover in such a short time. ”
"I feel like I've eaten your food," Bibo put down his arrows and drew his bow, trying to follow Luna's example, "and his energy will recover quickly!" ”
"Oh, that's it, it's weird, I used to eat it every day, why can't I!" Luna muttered to herself, confused, "Is it still different from Nata?" ”
"Huhu ,......" Bibo didn't succeed either, he gave up, "Hey, forget it, maybe your spells are really different from our humans." ”
"Oh well, let's find a place to rest!" Luna looked around, "The forest can be very lively in the night, but it is full of danger for you humans, and I don't want you to get into any trouble." ”
With that, Luna reached out and grabbed Bibo, jumped upward, and jumped onto the thick branch of a spruce tree, "Let's rest here, we're going tomorrow morning!" With that, Luna curled up in the branches, leaning against the trunk of the tree and resting her head on her knees.
The moonlight was bright, sprinkled on the entire Lannos continent, sprinkled on the elf's body, and the long silver-white hair was shining with silver light, Bibo was stunned for a while, remembering the moment he saved himself from danger just now, he whispered to Luna, "Thank you!" ”
In the distance, Bibo saw the northern mountains, the blade of Lannos disappeared into the darkness, now the direction was clearly discernible, he turned his head to look to the west, as far as his eyes could see, it was still pitch black, and he could not see anything, he found the grooved section of the large branch, and lay down.
The forest was quiet under the night sky, and with the occasional animal sound, Luna suddenly looked up and looked at Bibo, who was wrapped tightly in his cloak and snoring easily.
"Has destiny really begun?" She folded her arms and sighed faintly, "Okay, then! ”
