Chapter 2: The Elves
After less than a week in the elf's village, Ash had figured out his situation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Wormhole traversal. She didn't expect that what hundreds of millions of scientists were looking forward to would be met by her. Although she wondered why there was no Alliance here, she didn't think much of it, just as it was some forgotten corner of the universe. After all, with the level of modern science and technology, there are almost no places in the entire universe that have not been explored, and if there is such a densely wooded planet suitable for human survival, it is impossible to set foot without the alliance. Not to mention that there are leprechauns that are said to be the strangest in fantasy novels.
Yes, Pink Crystal is a leprechaun. Different from the so-called elves in general, their little elves belong to energy elves, which are produced by the condensation of natural elements to a certain extent.
It is also subdivided into pure elemental spirits, such as fire spirits, water spirits, wind spirits, etc., as well as tree spirits, ore spirits, etc., which are born from plants and minerals, such as pink crystals. As long as they look at the wings, the ones with small wings like the wings of birds are the elemental elves, while behind the plant and mineral elves are the thin layers of transparent cicada wings like the wings of insects.
And usually, those born from the elements are called elves, and those born from plant minerals are called goblins.
Although elves are weaker than elves, they are much rarer.
Pink Crystal is a flower fairy, born from a small pink flower, hoping to become a cute fairy who can become the queen of flowers. She is kind and simple, and even when the elders talk about the evils of mankind, she firmly believes that those who do evil things must have some reason of their own.
When she brought back a human like this, the shock caused was unprecedentedly powerful.
Almost all of the elves were hostile to Ash, and even though Pink Crystal used the Dew of Life to heal her wounds again, her beautiful face didn't give the elves any more favor.
"Jingjing, are you really not thinking about taking back the contract?"
"Why take it back?"
Pink Jingjing sat in her pink cabin, drinking the finest nectar, and looked at the male elf in front of her in confusion.
This black-haired, dark-skinned elf is Noxisi, the Dark Elemental Elf.
Dark and Light Elemental Elves are the rarest of the Elemental Elves, but each one is more powerful than the average Pokemon. Nossi is the most powerful of the young people in the elf village, and has a good relationship with Pink Crystal.
"That's a human!"
"What happened to humans?"
Speaking of human beings, Nossi raised his small fist and said, "Human beings are all heinous, and they specialize in catching terrifying creatures that our elves cook and eat, how can you sign a contract with them!" ā
Pink Jingjing pursed her mouth dissatisfied, pushed the nectar cup on the table, and said, "Hmph, humans are not so bad, ignore you, I'll go see Ash." ā
As she spoke, she ignored Nossisi's refusal and flew straight down from the window with her little thin wing.
This elf's village is built around a huge tree, Ash followed Pink Jingjing through it, according to the visual calculation in his mind, this tree is about 300 meters high, more than 20 meters in diameter, and the canopy covers about 30 acres of land, the size of three football fields.
And in the places covered by this canopy, on the branches, between the leaves, in the hollow trunks, or on the various other trees that leaned against the trees, elves lived.
Except for life-loving goblins like Pink Jingjing, who are willing to design and build their own cabins, most of the elves still like to sleep directly among the flowers and leaves. Once the night comes, the colors emanating from the tree, colorful and colorful, form a dreamlike landscape as the elves dance at night.
When Ash saw it for the first time, she was stunned for more than ten seconds, and it was from that time that she understood what it meant to be truly dreamy and beautiful.
She lives under a big tree where the elves live, and the climate here is not cold, and even at night, she can lie on the grass and sleep on the ground. After all, with the elves' height the size of a finger, their house, Ash can't get in.
Anyway, she had the experience of sleeping in the open whether it was a ravine or a ditch, and sleeping on such a grassy grass was not sad, but felt a little luxurious.
When Pink Jingjing arrived, she saw the ash with her eyes closed as always, and in the grass around her, there were countless elves who were curious about her.
The innocent and kind nature of the elves made them unable to remember hatred at all, and after two weeks, the original fear and resistance had long faded, and more curiosity, Ash could feel countless pairs of voyeuristic eyes around him every day.
"Go, go, peek here!"
Driven away by Pink Jingjing, the elves scattered in a hurry, and some naughty ones even grimaced at her.
Gray's eyelids opened a slit, glanced at Pink Crystal from the corner of his eye, and then closed it again.
In her concept, this should be a corner that has been temporarily forgotten by the universe, which makes her relax a little, maybe it is the reason for these simple elves that she does not need to be guarded, maybe it is the reason for the big tree that exudes a peaceful atmosphere, in short, she rarely unloads the heavy heart, and every day is no longer plagued by nightmares, but can fall into deep dreams.
Ash, who didn't expect that she would survive, has completely lost the goal of survival now, and if it weren't for Pink Jingjing's strong request, she would definitely not have come here.
Now she can be said to be like a marionette, her mind is at a loss, and when someone pulls hard, she will move like that.
The sudden and short-lived freedom, such leisurely, days that did not require any thinking, did not suit her. She didn't know anything other than killing people.
Every day, she would look up at the sky in a daze, and then wait for time to pass.
Sometimes, she often feels like those brain-dead patients, without any ideas, without knowing what she wants to do, without any goals, without any will, just watching the sun rise and set.
What is the value of surviving such a self?
That's right, it's because of pink crystal.
Because this elf said that they lived and died together, she could not die.
Just because he likes his extremely beautiful appearance and doesn't want to destroy it, he took the initiative to sign a contract with himself and tied the lives of the two together. If it was the gray of the past, he would definitely feel very disdainful and stupid.
But now, somehow, there is a feeling in her heart that she can't put into words. It's as if a matter that has been entangled in my heart for a long time has finally been resolved, and it is as if the tension that has been around for a long time can finally be relaxed.
This strange feeling made her guess and couldn't figure it out, so she simply put it aside and still faced the sunrise and sunset every day.
Pink Jingjing looked at the gray expressionless face for a while, and finally couldn't help but fly over and asked, "What are you thinking?" ā
I don't know why, Ash replied, "I wonder if I should live." ā
Ash's answer flattered Pink Jingjing, her little hands held her face, and her mouth opened into an O-shape, but she was immediately shocked by the content of her words.
Knocking on her head, Pink Jingjing, who felt that this question was difficult, thought hard, and half-sounded, her head struck, and she felt that the tendons in her head were all twisted together, so she had to give up thinking.
"It's a difficult question, I don't know how to answer it."
The indescribable cuteness of Pink Jingjing, who looked distressed, made Ash unconsciously rub her head with her fingers, and when she saw Pink Jingjing's bulging cheeks, she suddenly realized how could she make such an action.
Instead of noticing Ash's sharply constricting pupils at that moment, Pink Jingjing asked, "Why do you think that?" ā
"Aren't all human beings expecting a long life?"
Ash unconsciously put a trace of caution on the pink crystal that could affect his mood, and was silent for a while before replying, "Maybe." But I'm not attached to life. ā
After a pause, she said, "But I don't want to die that much." ā
At this time, Fan Jingjing was even more confused, and her little head was stirred into a mess, and she asked, "Since you don't want to die, why do you want to think about whether you should live?" ā
Ash was silent again.
She just didn't know what to do with life.
The muttered words were heard by Pink Jingjing, and suddenly a big smile appeared on the elf's face, and said, "I thought something was wrong, didn't you just have no goal?" ā
"I'll give you half of what I'm striving for."
The little goblin patted his chest and said proudly, "My goal is to become the queen of flowers, and then find the best husband in the world." ā
"I'll divide this goal in half with you, I will become the queen of flowers, you can find the best husband."
The little goblin said seriously, but Ash somehow felt an emotion from the bottom of his heart that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and his facial expression stiffened for a while, but he still didn't move.
Looking at the expectant Pink Jingjing, Ash found that he couldn't say anything to refuse.
That's it, anyway, she has no goal of survival, so it's better to follow the little guy's wishes.
Ash nodded indifferently, but watched Pink Jingjing dance happily.
Not far away, on the top of the branch, Nocisi watched all this, snorted disdainfully, and then disappeared into the leaves.
With a pair of tiny wings, he flew quickly against the trunk of the tree, and over the dense branches in front of him, it was the elder's dwelling. The elders of the elf village live on the highest part of the big tree, and the house is carved out of a large gourd and surrounded by a circle of beautiful flowers.
The elder was watering the little flowers and listening to the happy singing of the flowers, when he suddenly saw Nossi flying in a hurry, and suddenly understood and said with a smile, "Nossi, is that human being upsetting you again?" ā
"Oh, you can't say that, you should say you're sulking again?"
"Isn't that right, little flowers?"
The elder grinned, and miraculously, the flowers he watered also bent their stems, like children with tilted heads, and giggled.
"Elder!"
"Am I not right?"
"Of course not!"
Nossisi puffed out her cheeks and said, "Why should Pink Crystal be so good to that human?" ā
"She's a human!"
"And Fan Jingjing also said that she would share half of her ideals, so what should I do if I agreed with her to fulfill the agreed dream together?"
"Why give half of that human! That human didn't help us anything, and might even betray us in the future, so why should he help her! ā
"Pink Jingjing is too kind!"
Nossisi stamped his feet, venting his displeasure, and when the elder saw it, he shook his head and ignored it.
He knew that Nossi just needed someone to listen to, not to give his own opinion.
"Pink Jingjing gave her all the most delicious nectar, but that human never thanked her once."
"Also, Pink Jingjing is worried every day about whether she is uncomfortable in our village, and she also sends gifts everywhere so that other elves are willing to accept her, but that human has never seen this in his eyes!"
"Pink Jingjing has paid a lot for her, but when did that human appreciate it?!"
Today, Noxisi's frenzy seemed to be longer than usual, and the elder looked at the dying flower babies with distress, and decided to quickly drive away this source of noise pollution.
So he said, "If that human said thank you and thanked Pink Jingjing, wouldn't you feel unfair?" ā
Nossi was stunned for a moment, and thought about it, as if that was the case.
"After all, you're still holding grievances for Pink Crystal, but have you thought about it, does Pink Crystal need you to hold grievances for her?"
"Even if you're best friends, you can't fully understand her mind, can you?"
Nocisi nodded, thinking, yes, I'm still disgusted by her, this has never happened.
The elder saw Nossisi's expression and knew that he was right, and said, "In that case, you might as well go directly to the human being and take a look, if you look at it from a different angle, you will naturally experience it differently, and maybe you will find that she is very different from what you think." ā
Flying out of the Elder's room, Nossisi only felt a mess in his mind, although he felt that the elder was right, but in the bottom of his heart he didn't want to come into contact with a human.
After thinking for a long time, he saw that Pink Jingjing was not there, and saw that the human seemed to be in a daze, so he mustered up the courage to step forward and said, "Hey, human!" ā
Ash looked around the corner, only to see an elf not much bigger than Pink Crystal standing on a distant leaf, greeting her.
"You remember, I'm Noxisi, a childhood sweetheart of Pink Jingjing, a good friend born together!"
Among the piping elves hiding around, there are many elves of the wind element, commanding the wind element to convey Nossisi's words to Ash's ear, so that she can hear them clearly.
Ash judged that the other party would not cause danger to himself, and when he saw the other party reporting his name, he also lightly spit out a word, "Ash." ā
Yes? That's it?
Noxisi waited for a long time, and then waited for a gray word, and his small chest, which had been bulging, suddenly deflated.
There were voices of encouragement all around, so he puffed out his little chest again and said, "Human, don't think you can fool the eyes of the great Nossi, are you uneasy and kind when you come back with Pink Jingjing?" ā
"Say! That equal sharing contract, didn't you nasty human trick Pink Crystal Crystal Sign? ā
Noxisi is righteous in his words, but unfortunately his petite and cute appearance and his immature voice make his words not sound majestic at all, but like a child learning to speak to an adult, unspeakably funny and cute.
Ash was silent, not knowing how to answer.
In fact, as a killer, she was never taught to learn to justify. When she was wronged in the organization, robbed of her credit, or whipped and punished, she never said anything, but endured it silently.
Seeing this, Nossisi thought that she had spoken her mind, her little chest straightened even more, and she pointed to the gray road, "Wait, human, the great Lord Nossisi will find your flaws, and you will wait to be kicked out!" ā
Oh oh oh, the elves hiding around don't know why, they just feel that Noxisi is very powerful, so they hurriedly clapped their hands.
"Ahh Nossisi, you've come here to make trouble! Pink Jingjing flew down with her transparent cicada wings, puffing out her cheeks and getting angry.
Nocisi hurriedly flew up, turned around and stuck out his tongue at Ash.
"Stop!"
The sky began to fly back and forth, and from time to time you could still hear the quarrel between Nossey and Pink Crystal, and Ash, somehow, surged into a wave of sleepiness, relaxed and slowly closed his eyes.
