My face flushed when I heard what the blonde female elf said, so the soft touch I had just felt was ...... This elf's knee pillow?!

(Oh my God, this isn't a dream?... By the way, why would she know my name?)

"It's very comfortable, thank you. Did you save me from dying?"

I sat up, holding back the incredulous emotions and doubts in my heart, and asked the blonde female elf.

"Yes~ I really had a very serious injury on your body at that time, and the injury worsened after so long. If I hadn't healed you, you'd have died. ”

Hearing my inquiry, Irenee blinked her pale green eyes and smiled in reply, sitting on the bed and acting a little reservedly.

I touched my body with my left hand and was surprised to find that all the wounds on my body had healed, even the sword wound on my chest that had been pierced by Hoyle and could not heal no matter what.

"Thank you. I know that no amount of thanks can be worth the kindness you gave me in saving me, but I still want to say thank you. Can you tell me your name?" I said, looking up at the blonde female elf who was still smiling at me.

The smile on Irenee's face when she heard what I said instantly changed to a very embarrassed expression, no, a look of unwillingness to act.

"My name is Irene and I am the spirit of the forest who guards the verdant forest. And also... You don't have to thank me, I... I didn't do anything very bad. Irenee looked at me with a panicked look and introduced herself a little nervously.

"That's not the case!If you hadn't healed me with magic, I'd be dead!You're my lifesaver to me, and I want to repay it if I could!!"

Hearing what Ireni said, I sat next to her, grabbed her weak hands, and spoke to her sincerely.

The moment I held her hands, Irenee's face flushed and her cheeks reddened, and Ireni was obviously taken aback by the sudden handshake. She had never held hands with any strangers, and the only people she had physical contact with were her companions, the forest spirits of the other forests.

In short, the blushing Ireni was overly shy, so she could only keep moaning in embarrassment like 'Wow, Wow, Wow' from her mouth.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked with some confusion at the sound of Irenee's moans, and I seemed to understand something when I saw Ireni's flushed cheeks.

After a few minutes, Irenee, whose face was not as flushed as before, said to me in a very low voice.

"That's... That, Tut... Could you please let me go first?"

The moment I heard Irenee's voice, I immediately let go of the hand that was holding her hands and looked at her with an apologetic look on my face.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so impulsive. "I apologize to Irenee for my rude behavior.

"It's okay. When Irenee heard me apologize, she waved her hand and told me not to care about what had just happened.

(She's so shy...) No, that's a fear of life. By the way, I still have questions for her...... ）

Looking at the forest elf Ireni sitting on the bed next to me, I suddenly realized something that I knew about anyway.

"Hoyle, did the silver-haired elf leave here with his men?"

I turned my head to look around but didn't notice Joyle or the others, and asked Irenee next to me, who was curling her hair with her fingers, with a puzzled look.

"Hoyle's words, he has retreated with his men, and by the time of day he may have returned to their camp. Hearing my question, Irenee said to me with a relaxed expression.

(Already gone?...... ）

Hearing Irenee's reply, I lowered my head and thought about the memories of when I fought with Hoyle before, Hoyle was very strong, and now I am still a big gap compared to his strength, plus I was at that time... Indeed, as the black shadow said, 'You are bound by too many good thoughts, and you hesitated at that time'......

If I had to fight Hoyle again, I might be able to fight with all my strength and without hesitation... Barely tied with him!

But then again, Hooyle, he asked me a few inexplicable questions before I was unconscious.

(Hmm!Does he really have a relationship with his mother (Winya)?)

Anyway, if you can... I really don't want to see that Hoyle guy again......

His strength is very strong, he always has a cold sense of killing in battle, and the sword in his hand is really terrifying, but any wound caused by stabbing, scratching, slashing, and slashing cannot be healed no matter what, plus the wound will further deteriorate over time if it is not treated in the first place.

It's tricky!

I lowered my head and thought gloomily about Hoyle, who had fought me before, how would I fight him next time I saw him again?

Just as I was thinking about Joyle with my head down, a slender hand reached out to me with a green fruit the size of a grape.

"Do you want to eat?"

Ireni's beautiful voice pulled me out while I was still thinking, and when I turned my head to look at Ireni who was smiling at me, I was suddenly relieved.

"This is the fruit of these trees in the verdant woodland, it tastes good~ Do you want to try it?" Irene also turned her head to see me and smiled as she introduced the fruit in her hand.

"Okay, thank you. ”

I took the green fruit from Irene and put it in my mouth and bit it gently, and for a moment the sweet and sour taste filled my mouth.

(It's delicious~ This fruit is completely different from the wild fruits I've eaten before.) ）

"Delicious, right? Irenee asked cautiously as she looked at me with a somewhat surprised face.

"Thank you, the fruit is delicious!"

I nodded, looked at Ireni in the affirmative, and Ireni smiled knowingly when I heard what I said for sure.

"Irenee, can I ask you a few questions?" I said, looking at Ireni sitting next to me, and I was determined to ask her.

"What do you want to ask?"

Sitting on a bed made of vines, Ireni turned her head slightly when she heard my words and asked subconsciously.

"Irenee, did you dream when you slept?" I asked anxiously, looking at the calm face of Ireni.

"Dreaming when I sleep? Well, I dreamed when I was sleeping. Irene said with a slight grin on her lips when she heard my question.

She had many dreams when she slept, some of which were beautiful, some of which were relatively ordinary, and some of which were very bad.

"What do you want to ask?" asked Irene before I could ask.

"During the time I was in a coma, I had a dream in which I saw many bad things... Those bad things appeared in front of my eyes one by one, and when I was helpless and my heart was like ashes, a voice kept mocking me, making fun of me, counting me, and enlightening me in my ears. ”

I was immediately angry when I heard this voice, but as this voice was enlightened step by step, I did not refute his words, and I felt that he had a good point. At that moment the owner of the voice appeared, a dark shadow, a black shadow that looked exactly like mine. ”

"When I wondered about it, the shadow said to me, 'I am him, and he is me. Later in our conversation, I learned that this was the second time I had met him. Can you tell me what that dark shadow is?"

I told Ireni who was sitting next to me about the dream I had in my coma, and her expression became serious.

"That dark shadow is you, and you are him. To be exact, he is your bloodline, the subconscious brought by the goblin blood in you. Irene gently touched my head with her hand and answered my questions.

(The subconscious brought by the bloodline?)

For a moment, more questions surged into my mind, and when I saw my puzzled expression, the originally serious expression on Irenee's face changed back to the calm expression I had before.

"Tut, you're a goblin. You have goblin blood, but you're not a purebred goblin. You still have some elven blood in your body, which means that you are both a goblin and an elf, no, you should be a half-elf. However, some of the elven bloodline in your body has not awakened, and you can't be called a half-elf. Erenee stretched out the index point of her left hand and said to me seriously.

"But the subconscious brought by the goblin bloodline is ...... Hmm!"

Just as I was about to ask the really important question, Irenee pressed her left index finger against my lips to signal me to be quiet, and she looked at me with a slightly bitter expression.

"When you see that dark shadow, it means that the goblin blood in your body has been fully awakened. Irenee whispered into my ear.

Eh, the Goblin Bloodline is fully awakened, what does that mean?

Before I could ask the question in my heart, Irenee on the side seemed to see the doubt in my heart and opened her mouth again to explain it to me.

"Each race of creatures has its own bloodline power, as long as you awaken the bloodline power of that race in your body, you can become stronger. Although the goblin bloodline in your body has awakened now, you yourself have not become much stronger. The dark shadow you see in your dream is formed by the subconscious brought on by the goblin bloodline. ”

"I see......" I said, nodding my head as if I didn't understand.

(The goblin blood in me has awakened...... What about some of the elven bloodlines in my body, how can the elven bloodlines be awakened?)

Wait! I remember running during the fight with Hoyle, suddenly 'disappearing' without a trace, and then he appeared in front of me without warning, and he stabbed me in the chest with the sword in his hand.

When Hoyle and I, who were seriously injured, were ready to make a move, Hoyle ran again, and then he 'disappeared' unexpectedly for the second time while running.

Just when I was so engrossed in a sense of crisis that I was on guard that everything around me seemed to slow down, and Hoyle, who had 'disappeared' without a trace, reappeared not far in front of me......

My brow furrowed again at the thought of what had happened at that time, and it was so big, and the environment suddenly slowed down... Could it be that some of the elven bloodlines in my body have awakened?" "Tut, do you have any more questions for me?" Irenee asked, looking at me and winking her eyes expectantly.

(By the way, I have two more questions for her!)

The moment I heard Irenee's voice, I suddenly remembered that I had two more important questions to ask her.

"Irene, I want to find out what the 'Chosen Ones' are, what does it represent, and I heard a song in my dream about the 'Chosen Ones', does it have anything to do with the 'Chosen Ones'?"

Looking at Ireni with a look of anticipation, I asked a series of questions.

After listening to the series of questions I asked, Irenee's expectant face gradually became more serious, and when she heard me ask the song about "The Chosen Things", a gleam instantly appeared in her eyes.

"Tut, can you tell me what that song you heard?" asked Irenee before I could ask another question.

"Huh?"

When I heard Irenee's question, my expression froze.

(Isn't that what you want me to sing to her?) I can't sing at all!!)

"Well, that's what the song says. Light has given warmth and peace to the world. Darkness brings peace and serenity to this world. They must not lose their balance with each other, because neither light nor darkness is indispensable. Stand up, the world needs you. ”

I looked at Irene with a stern face and said the lyrics of the song in my dream.

After listening to me finish the lyrics of the song, Irenee's already very strict eyes instantly became more solemn, only to see her sigh deeply and look at me with some emotion.

"'All things chosen' is a name that has been left behind by the [gods] who guarded this world, the relics of this world, and the things that exist in ancient books, and have been named by many races. ”

The gods who guard this world? Is there really a god in this world?!

Listening to the god that came out of Irenee's mouth, my face had to turn serious, and I seemed to have heard something very unusual.

"Once a creature of all races in this world is chosen by the chosen one, that creature is eligible to learn 'that' magic. Erenee then said what the chosen thing represented.

"What kind of magic is it?Is it universal magic?" I couldn't help but ask when I heard Irenee's talk about magic that only 'chosen things' could learn.

The solemnity on Irene didn't relax when she heard my question, and she took a slight breath and looked at me.

"It's one of the universal magics, and 'that' magic is at the top of the universal magic: light and darkness! When the chosen one has mastered both of them, the gods will summon him or her...... This is what the chosen ones are and what they represent. ”

Irenee looked at me in a slightly surprised and said calmly.

Goodo-

This is the sound of swallowing saliva in the mouth.

(Hmm!Oh my!

When I thought of this, I swallowed saliva and the sound of swallowing in my throat was very clear in my head.

"The pattern on your chest is the best proof that you are the chosen one, but remember not to let others with ulterior motives see the pattern on your chest. The voice of Irenee's admonition pulled me back from a shock that had been stunned for a long time.

"Ireni, can you teach me the magic of light and darkness?" I asked expectantly, looking at the solemn Ireni sitting beside me.

"There's nothing I can do about it, Tut doesn't know light and darkness. These two types of magic are the most difficult to learn in terms of ease of learning in general magic. To my request, Irenee looked at me calmly and said earnestly.

That's fine... Anyway, I might have a chance to learn these two kinds of magic in the future! I don't have to worry too much about it at this time, just do what I do now!

Well?

Just as I was still thinking about something, I suddenly noticed several butterflies of different colors dancing around Irenee.

From time to time, butterflies in flight flutter their wings and land on the flowers formed by Irene fingertips to collect nectar, and the colorful light reflected in the sunlight on the wings of these butterflies.

For a while, Ireni was surrounded by these fluttering and flying butterflies, forming a very beautiful scene, and I couldn't help but be stunned when I saw Ireni interacting with these butterflies.

The scene I see at this moment is probably one of the most beautiful views in the world......

Irenee, who was interacting with the fluttering butterflies, seemed to sense my gaze, only to see her turn her head and look at me with a slight smile.

"Tut, is there anything else you want to ask?"

“...... When I woke up just now, I remember you saying that you are a forest elf, right? Can you please tell me more about what a forest elf is?" I blurted out as soon as I heard Ireni greet me.

Irene looked a little surprised to hear my question, but she looked at me with a smile.

"'Forest Elf'. In every forest in this world, there is a forest spirit who guards, protects, and guards the safety of the forest, whether it is a huge forest, a small forest, an ancient forest, a dense forest, or a forest that no one cares about...... In these forests there is a forest elf. ”

I see......

"In addition, we, the Elves of the Forest, listen to the admonition of the elven goddess, and under normal circumstances, we will never appear in front of others, and as for why they do not appear in front of others, I forgive you for not saying more. ”

Could it be that the elven goddess is the god of the elven race?!

"That's all for the introduction of our Forest Elves. Irenee looked at me with a smile on her face.

"Understood. Thank you, Irene Nian. Looking at Ireni sitting on the bed next to me, I said with a hearty smile.

(Tut...) Your smile is so beautiful~)

When Irenee saw my smile, her face instantly turned red, and she really deserved to be "the chosen one"!

"Are you alright? Seeing Irenee's slightly red cheeks, I asked with concern.

"No... It's all right, Tut your companions are here......"

Hearing my greeting, Irene instantly panicked, and when she saw the goblin coming out of the forest not far ahead, she pointed ahead and said to me.

"Companions?"

(Do you mean Jot them?)
