Chapter 510: The Wandering Elf
The top of the food rankings has brought many new customers to Maimie's restaurant, and the good reputation of regular customers has brought many customers with high consumption potential, and this small restaurant in the westernmost corner of Aden Square has gradually gained a certain reputation in the chaotic city.
Because there are too many guests in the restaurant, it takes a lot of time to wait for a seat, so many guests choose to pack the food from the restaurant, some can patiently go home and enjoy the food, and more are not out of the restaurant can not bear the temptation of the food in their hands, regardless of any manners, while walking while gnawing on the meat bun in their hands, and from time to time let out one or two praises.
"Grandpa, what do you think she's holding in her hand? It looks delicious. ”
On the long street of Aden Square, a little elf pointed to the ice cream in the hand of a little girl not far away and asked crisply, his little eyes were round, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he saw the little girl licking the ice cream happily.
The elf looked like he was five or six years old, wearing a half-worn pink dress, long pale blonde hair tied in a big braid behind him, and a pair of small pointed ears, looking at the child with ice cream with curiosity.
Standing beside her was an old elf wearing an old gray robe, his old face was weathered, his wrinkled face looked a little rough, he held a long stick in his hand, his beard was half white, he looked down at the elf with a very loving expression, and said with a smile: "Anna, do you want to eat?" ”
"Uh-huh." Anna nodded vigorously, then looked up at the old elf and asked expectantly, "Is it okay, grandpa?" ”
"Of course you can, but we need to know which restaurant sells that strange-looking food." Joshua smiled and nodded.
"That'...... I can ask where she got it from. Anna's eyes lit up.
"No, you see, they're all coming from that direction, we just have to look in that direction, and we'll definitely be able to find it." Joshua pointed ahead, and more than one of the pedestrians on the road was holding the two strange foods stacked on top of each other like snowballs.
"Yay! Grandpa, let's go. Anna's eyes lit up, and she stretched out her little hand and led Joshua briskly in the direction of the street.
"Slow down." Joshua smiled helplessly, but looked at Anna's eyes full of doting.
"I haven't been to the City of Chaos for more than 20 years, and the changes are really not small, and it is getting more and more prosperous." Joshua looked at the crowded Aden Square and the shops next to it, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
More than eighty years ago, like most of the elves who left the Wind Forest, Joshua, who was alone, felt that the elves were developing in a direction he didn't like, and hundreds of years of racial wars made him disgusted with war and intrigue, and he didn't want to form any family, so he chose to leave the Wind Forest and began to wander on the continent of Nolan.
Wandering among the mountains and rivers, often encountering hostile foreigners, danger is inevitable, but for him, everything seems quite interesting, walking on the road, at least there is a feeling of being alive, and being able to meet many interesting people and things is also happy.
But since more than a decade ago, he has gradually discovered that a force has been eyeing him, trying to get him to return to the Wind Forest to find refuge.
This happened not only to him, but also to most of the elves who traveled outside of the Wind Forest.
There is inducement, there is also coercion, they are getting stronger and stronger, and their methods are getting tougher and tougher.
Most of the wandering elves are alone, or a family of several people, and how can they be their opponents.
"At least give Anna an innocent and happy childhood, if she returns to the Forest of Winds, I'm afraid she won't experience freedom in her life." Joshua looked at Anna, who was holding his hand with her little hand and a innocent and romantic smile on her face, and sighed inwardly.
"It's here! Grandpa, they came out of here! Anna took Joshua's hand and stopped outside McMie's restaurant, watching a child eat an ice cream in his hand with a focused face, and was led out of the door by his father, and said in surprise.
"Yes, Anna found it." Joshua also had a smile on his face, and looked at this restaurant in the corner of Aden Square with some surprise, but it was very lively, and took Anna's little hand and walked towards the restaurant.
"What a beautiful restaurant, like a palace, and so fragrant! It smells good! Entering the restaurant, Anna, who had been lively, suddenly quieted down, took Joshua's hand, shrank down beside him, looked around a little timidly, and lingered on the food on the table, feeling that each food looked particularly delicious.
"It seems that the tables and chairs are made from the blossom trees in the Wind Forest, and they are all from the same tree, is the owner of this restaurant an elf?" Joshua's eyes were completely attracted by the wooden tables and chairs in the dining room, and he was surprised and a little distressed, such a flower-bearing tree must be at least two or three hundred years old.
"Welcome, there's just a seat available over there, and two guests can sit there." Yabei Mia smiled and stepped forward, a little surprised to see that it was two elves, there seemed to be a lot of elves in the restaurant these days.
"Okay." Joshua nodded slightly, took Anna's small hand and walked towards the table with two empty seats, and when he saw Bloor sitting at the table, his steps paused, and there was a little hesitation in his eyes.
Anna looked at Bloor for a moment, and then hid behind Joshua, as if she was a little afraid of him.
"They should be elves who have traveled on the continent of Nolan, right? Why is that little girl afraid of me? Bloor also noticed Joshua and Anna, thinking to himself with some doubts, but there was still a kind smile on his face, and with that handsome face, it made people feel like a spring breeze, and Constantine, who was sitting next to him, was a little stunned.
"He doesn't look like a bad guy, and this is the city of chaos, so it should be fine." Joshua glanced at Bloul and then at the guests in the dining room, hesitated for a moment, but took Anna's little hand and walked towards the table, and sat down across from Bloor.
"What a beautiful brother." Anna leaned a little closer in Joshua's direction, but couldn't help but sneak a look at Bloor.
"Are they wandering elves?" Sally also noticed the two of them, and looked at Anna, whose timid appearance made her feel a little distressed.
