At night, you can soak your legs in the water of the lake to absorb the water element comfortably. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A slight sound of footsteps sounded behind him, followed by Evie's voice, "Why are you going to Warsong Camp?" ”

Shang Ke paddled the water and replied, "I want to inquire about some news." ”

"Ghost jade?" Evie sat beside Shang Ke.

Shang Ke nodded.

Evie said, "The Robot Ghost Clan has issued a bounty order, and all half-blood elves are the target of their bounty. So you don't go out, I'll let you know if there's any news. ”

Shang Ke had heard of the bounty order, but he didn't expect that the Weapon Ghost Clan would actually kill all the half-blood elves. If that's the case, he's really not fit to show his head. After all, his current priority is to protect the twelve elves, who are likely to be the main force against the Robot Ghost Clan in the future.

"Okay, I'll try not to go out in the future." Acceptable and cooperative.

Seeing him so well-behaved, Evie couldn't help but want to touch his head, but his hand reached into the air and put it down again. Thinking of his ugly countenance, a hint of self-loathing flashed in Evie's eyes. The elves around him are too beautiful for him to bear to blaspheme.

Shang Ke keenly sensed that the man had a bright and sad aura of bitterness, obviously wanting to get closer, but trying his best to suppress it.

"Evie." Shang Ke propped his hands on his sides and looked at him sideways, "I'll always wait for your news at home, don't break your word." ”

Evie's heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at the elves beside him. In the night, a pair of blue eyes flashed with a faint halo, revealing endless trust and tenderness. He often heard that elves are the purest creatures in the world, but he didn't think so before, but now he feels it deeply.

Without warning, a strong desire swelled up in his heart to possess this elf, to take him for himself.

Evie's fists tightened hard, his heart pounded violently, and two clusters of blazing flames were hidden in his lowered eyes.

At this moment, a melodious sound came from his side, soothing Evie's restless heart like a breeze.

Shang Ke held a xylophone, his slender fingers plucked the strings rhythmically, and the beautiful music rippled in the night, and the notes with elemental power were like stars falling into the sky, shining with beautiful fluorescence on the silent lake.

Evie's heart gradually calmed down, and the whole person was immersed in the sound of the elf's piano. At this moment, there was a sudden burning pain in his left eye.

"Hmm." He reached out to cover his eyes, and the bandage on the left side of his face became distorted, as if dozens of bugs were wriggling under the bandage.

"What's wrong with you?" Shang Ke stopped playing and looked at him worriedly.

"Nothing." Evie tilted her head, avoiding his gaze.

"Let me see." Shang Ke pulled his leg out of the water and knelt in front of Evie, trying to pull his hand away from the left side of his face.

"It's fine." Evie fended off his hand.

"If you don't let me see it," Shang Ke threatened in a calm tone, "I won't let you see it in the future." ”

Evie paused, and turned his head to look at Shang Ke: "What don't you want me to see?" ”

"Don't let you look at my face, my eyes, my body, and my room, my bed!" Shang Ke knelt on the ground, his hands were placed on his knees, with a posture of "let you accept".

Evie stared at him for a long time, as if to pierce him, and after a moment, he slowly lowered his hand.

Just when Shang Ke successfully launched the bait, he heard him say stiffly: "I'm sorry, I don't want you to see me." ”

Evie's heart was bleeding, and God knows how much he wanted to say yes!

"What's wrong with your appearance?" Shang Ke asked puzzled.

"It's ugly."

"It's okay, although it doesn't quite conform to the public's aesthetics, but it's still quite individual." It can be evaluated pertinently.

"You don't have to comfort me......" Evie's voice paused and asked in surprise, "Have you seen me?" ”

"yes." Shang Ke replied in a casual tone, "The last time I helped you with treatment, in order to determine the injury on your face, I took off your mask and looked at it. ”

"You, aren't you afraid at all?" His face was terrible even to himself!

"What's there to be afraid of?" Shang Ke didn't expect that this man would also have an inferior complex because of his appearance, "Not only am I not afraid, but my elf is not afraid either." ”

"They watched it too?" Is it really good to just let a child look at a mess of things?

Shang Ke nodded.

Evie remembered the scene of being calmly watched by a large and two small elves when he was asleep, and the whole person was a little bad.

"So, you don't have to worry about anything." Shang Ke held out his hand to him again.

This time Evie didn't refuse, allowing Shang Ke to remove the bandages from his face.

His eyes were fixed on this beautiful face that was close at hand, and the faint fragrance that came from him lingered in his nose. As the bandages were lifted layer by layer, his heart seemed to be opened little by little. The originally dark and cold world was completely occupied by a warm and shining figure.

Feeling the coolness of the night breeze on his face, before he knew it, the bandage that covered his ugliness had been removed, and his true self was completely exposed to the sight of this elf.

"How did you get this?" Shang Ke's fingers ran lightly over the bumpy left side of Evie's face.

"I don't know." Evie replied, "It's been around for as long as I can remember. ”

Shang Ke pondered it carefully for a while, and it didn't feel like a scar caused by an external force, but rather a natural formation. At first, Shang Ke thought it was a birthmark, but the birthmark did not squirm.

Evie's attention was drawn to the opening and closing of his lips in front of him, no more than a few centimeters away, and he could touch them if he lowered his head slightly.

Shang Ke was concentrating on checking the stains, when he suddenly felt as if his lips had been touched by something, and the movement was so fast that it almost made people think it was just an illusion.

Shang Ke's gaze swept over the man's face, and he saw that his face was calm and his eyes were straight, as if the guy who stole the fish just now was not him.

"I have an offer." Shang Ke said.

"What proposal?"

"Just cut through the stains and take a look."

Evie's face froze, and he pursed his lips and asked, "Is it necessary?" ”

"I think it's necessary." Shang Ke's tone was not a bit of a joke.

Evie's face twitched a few times, and the serpentine streak wriggled with it, looking even more hideous.

Eventually, Shang Ke was unable to use a knife in Evie's face, even though he found the marks valuable to study. The fact that his sound is able to cause it to move suggests that it probably has the power to repel the elements of nature. It's definitely not a good thing for this kind of thing to appear on Evie.

In fact, in order to remove the scars on his face, Evie had used various methods and asked the priest to help treat them, but the priest was almost killed by the power of the serpentine scars. Therefore, he didn't dare to let Shang Ke try no matter what.

Evie felt that this might be an ominous curse, as he was forced to leave his family, his loved ones, and travel alone. He thought he was destined to wander for the rest of his life, but he was lucky enough to meet this elf, and it was he who picked up his fallen self and made him feel the taste of home again.

Evie looked at Shang Ke, who was exchanging feelings with plants in the orchard, and his eyes were full of tenderness. The touch of the kiss that night was left on his lips, enough for him to remember for a long time.

"Here's for you." Evie handed Shang a few gold coins.

"What for me?" Shang Ke looked at the glittering gold coin in his hand with a puzzled expression.

"Money to buy fruit."

"So much?"

Evie picked up a basket of fruit and said, "If there is anything you want to sell in the future, I will help you sell it and promise not to let you suffer." Regarding this elf's behavior of using the precious aura fruit as an ordinary fruit tentacle, Evie said that he couldn't bear it.

"yes, okay." Shang Ke put the gold coins away and smiled a good-natured smile at Evie.

Evie swore once again that he would protect this ignorant elf!

Saying goodbye to Shang Ke, Evie left the forest with the fruit on his back. The horse he had ridden back from before, and after living with the elves for a few days, he was no longer willing to move his nest. So Evie had to walk away and let the horse go blissfully with himself.

This time Evie didn't stay long and returned five days later. Not only did he buy many gifts for the four elves, but he also opened up a secret sales channel for Shang Ke. In the future, the property in Shangke's hands can be sold through this channel, and there is no need to worry about being snooped.

Evie wanted to surprise Shang Ke, but he didn't expect that after only five days of leaving, Shang Ke had two more elves around him, which surprised him.

It's just that these two little elves, one can't speak, and the other loses his hearing. Their anomaly, Evie had discovered it a long time ago, and he hadn't taken it to heart at first, but now it seems that there is something else going on.

Evie wondered if Shang Ke was specifically adopting elves with disabilities, otherwise why would new elves appear around him every once in a while, and all of them were disabled? Although the half-blood elves are not as good as the pure-blood elves, they are mostly in good physical condition, and the chance of disability is very low.

Shang Ke is very good with these elves, whether they have a disability or not.

Evie didn't care either, and did everything he could to take care of them and protect them. As soon as he returns to Shang Ke, he will take off the mask on his face, face his true self calmly, and enjoy a peaceful life in peace.

It's just that several times, he almost couldn't control the urge to hug Shang Ke, and the more and more intense * made him painful and happy, and reason and emotion collided fiercely every day.

But he never dared to go beyond it, for fear of destroying everything that existed.

In the middle of the night, Evie listened to the still even breathing in the trees, and his body became restless again. He ran a few steps and jumped into the lake, trying to cool himself down. But the cold water of the lake could not extinguish the flames in his body, and various congested images kept appearing in his mind.

He never knew his determination was so vulnerable.

In the dream, the elf tossed and turned under him, the touch of the skin, the suppressed breathing, so eclipsed-soul-eroding bones...... In the faint shadows, a familiar figure approached him, and Evie took him into his arms without hesitation, kissing him on the lips, sucking almost frantically......
