Chapter 87: Fear and Hope

When Valera followed Blue and the others out of the tunnel, it was the darkest hour before dawn.

She was very lucky, or unlucky.

As Valilla cautiously looked around, she suddenly noticed a huge heat source reaction appearing in the sky.

Intelligent, she immediately thought of the "big fireball" mentioned by the instructor in the academy, how could she stand it!

With a scream, she immediately turned and tried to escape back into the tunnel.

It's just that as soon as she took a step, her hand was grabbed by the captain of the team, that is, the blue-haired one-eyed man.

"Let go of me, I'll be burned to death by that fireball!"

"Although I don't know if you're heterosexual, but seeing that you're still a single dog, it's not your turn to burn to death, don't be too afraid, it's just the sun."

"The sun?" Valera asked suspiciously, then looked at the other party and nodded, and then asked, "I feel a high heat reaction, is that harmless?" ”

"No, for you, the sun is the equivalent of a flame that burns every inch of your exposed skin...... It's like a barbecue. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It turns out that what the instructor said is true! Let me go, I'm not going! Valeera's eyes gradually turned from the red of the pitch black to a faint greenβ€”because the light of dawn had begun to appear on the horizon, making the clouds begin to turn white.

After a while, the sun, which people in the terrestrial world are accustomed to, will jump out and emit its own light and heat.

Blue grabbed the dark elf's smooth hand, he frowned, and said, "Valera Ashley, I just allowed you to join our team, and you turned around to leave, this is disrespectful to me, don't you understand?" ”

Blue's words made Valilla stop struggling, and she looked at Blue and slowly lowered her head.

Loyalty is definitely not the creed of the dark elves, although Blue is now her captain, but the education that the dark elves have received since childhood and the surrounding environment are such that if the betrayal of the object of their allegiance can be more profitable, then the vast majority of dark elves will immediately betray this act.

And the occurrence of this act usually represents the death of the object of allegiance.

Even her own mother, the head mother of the Ashley family, sat in the position of the head mother by stabbing her elderly grandmother to death.

Of course, in the eyes of all the dark elves, the Great Mistress did not do such a mad and vicious thing - as long as no one found out and hid well, then the conspiracy never happened.

Yes, Valera Ashley's grandmother died at the hands of a vile and vicious underground gnome thief, and Ashley, one of the thirteen ruling families of Zolvirasi, killed 3,000 underground gnomes as revenge.

Valera Ashley could do the same, but she subconsciously rejected the dark elf's approach.

She had resolved to break with her vicious people, and it could not be just a geographical one, but a battle in all directions, including ideas.

"I'm sorry, Captain...... I was too nervous. ”

Seeing Valeera's appearance, Blue also let go of Macaria's teasing gaze.

I'm pure, okay!

What kind of eyes do you have?

He gave his spouse a very upright look, showing that he was not faking public affairs at all.

As a result, Macaria sent a "I know, I know, if you don't grab her hand, you're going to grab her other parts", which made Blue half angry.

After dodging Macaria's gaze, Blue shook his head at Valilla and said, "I don't blame you, the dark elves' decades of brainwashing education can't be made up because of my words." But don't worry, I still have a cloak to block the sun and a veil to protect against the sun...... I don't seem to have ......."

Blue was a little embarrassed and took out a normal costume that covered her whole body in the desert, and then said to Krisanna: "Old girl, I don't have a sunscreen veil for girls, I remember you have it, bring one to Vali." ”

Krisanna didn't say anything, she didn't want to go against Blue over this little thing, and after rummaging in her dimensional bag for a while, she threw Valeera a two-layer sunscreen mask that could cover her face, and even gave her an eye mask very thoughtfully.

Valilla took it and immediately put it on herself, and when her whole body was protected by clothes, she sighed like a thin burden, and her trembling body calmed down.

It was also difficult for the discriminated Tieflins of Macaria and Orianna to comprehend this scene.

Spider God Queen Rose has let her dark elves describe the surface world as a hell on earth for tens of thousands of years, and anyone who walks on the ground for too long will encounter inhumane punishment, making even the strongest dark elves full of fear of the surface world.

It's like Blue's previous life, if someone said to the Chinese people that life in the eighteenth layer of hell is actually picturesque, safe and worry-free, and die quickly, you see that if he doesn't beat you to death, you'll be done.

Valera Ashley is a dark elf with independent thinking skills, a genius in the clan, and a rebellious girl with explosive action.

But even with such a strong record as killing the summoned demons, she has wandered in this dark pit for more than thirty years, during which she has only tried to set foot on the surface of the surface world once, and she is frightened by the outside world in an instant and runs back into the pit in an instant.

Seeing Valilla like this, Macaria couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to her.

Makaria stretched out her hand towards Vali, who had been taught the Dark Elves by her thief predecessors in Shars City, so that she could now communicate with the other party: "Miss Valilla Ashley, you have lived underground for too long, and your body has already adapted to the underground environment, so you must not be accustomed to the light of the surface world, this is just a normal physiological phenomenon, and it has nothing to do with any punishment. When the sun rises, you should take shelter in the shade of the trees and get used to it. ”

Valera Ashley looked at Macaria in surprise, she had never met someone who would kindly remind others without interest, which made her feel a surprise in her heart - sure enough, what the spider old woman said was a lie, how could people outside be so terrible!

She laughed, and then said gratefully to Macaria, "Thank you very much, noble man, you are completely different from my people...... It's a good thing you're different...... But what kind of action is this? ”

Valera Ashley curiously pointed to Macaria's hand and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

"It's an act of kindness from humans and some races in the surface world." Macaria patiently explained.

Valera Ashley then understood, she opened her mouth slightly, and continued to ask a little embarrassed: "Then I...... How do you respond? ”

Macaria blinked, and the smile on her face became even brighter: "It depends on your mood, if you don't want to deal with the other party or don't like the other party, you can choose to ignore it when you don't see it." If you're willing to make friends with the other person, just reach out and hold it with the other person. ”

After listening to Macaria's words, Valera Ashley hurriedly stretched out her right hand and held it tightly with her.

"I believe that we will become very good friends in a while, in fact, there are many things to pay attention to the time and strength of the handshake, which I will tell you slowly in the future, now...... Let's take a look at what the sun looks like that gives hope to all life on the surface world. ”

With that, Valera Ashley took Macaria's hand, and then looked in amazement at the large ball of fire rising from above the east through two layers of goggles.

Even with her black goggles, the sun's rays stung Valera Ashley's green eyes, which could see the heat source like infrared in the ground.

Compared to torches and candles, the sun's rays are many times brighter.

Fortunately, except for the eyes, the carcass covered by the thick clothing was not directly hit by the light, otherwise Valera Ashley estimated that her skin would be directly "burned".

However, as the sun gradually rose, a puff of black smoke rose from the dark elf's body.

Blue looked curiously at Valera Ashley, who soon found out as well.

They looked at the source of the black smoke and noticed that a pair of eight-legged spider shoes sewn on Valera Ashley's feet were thinning like ice that was constantly evaporating in the heat.

Blue was dumbfounded, he didn't think to give Valera Ashley a pair of shoes just now, and now it is obvious that the shoes made by the dark elves are only adapted to the dark region or the underground environment, and after coming to the surface world, it not only loses its original magical ability, but even will soon be wiped out.

It's already May, and it's already the hottest time of the year for the western continent where Blue is located.

The sun gets hotter and hotter as it rises, and the Dark Elves' crafting from materials such as underground plants and spider silk quickly turn to ash under this light and temperature.

Valera gritted her teeth, her feet were now completely exposed to the light, which also gave her the most real feeling of facing the sun's rays without concealing it - it was no longer a stinging pain, it should be said that it was like a blunt knife cutting through flesh, the pain was incomparable!

However, there was no remorse in her heart, breathing the air she had never felt before, smelling the smell of plants she didn't know, and she felt that everything in this world was different from that gloomy hometown, but it was full of something called "hope".

Blue and Krishanna didn't know that the dark elf was going through a metamorphosis, and even if they did, they wouldn't find anything strange or to praise.

Struggling to survive is what living beings should do, whether it is a high-level dragon clan or a dark elf of a low-level race in their eyes, the will to survive is the same, the difference is only that everyone's survival ability is different.

With the help of Blue's cloak, although the soles of their feet hurt, Valilla did not become a drag, and they were not too fast or too slow.

Three days later, in the early hours of the morning, they finally met a small human village.

Although she had seen it several times, Valilla was still amazed by the suns that appeared every day, she had heard Macaria tell her about the relationship between the sun and living things, and it was hard to imagine that this terrible fireball was the root of the greenery of the surface world.

In addition, seeing the foreigners living outside for the first time also made her feel excited.

Blue and his party found a hill where they could observe the village from afar, and then stood there observing the village.

Some of the small lights in the hamlet faded in the light of dawn, while in the east, the sun rose as usual, shining on the wooden buildings of the village and the fields they plowed, as well as on the fruit trees.

"Their houses, why are they circled...... Are they all in the same family? ”

Valera looked curiously at the ground floor of the human wooden structure, puzzled.

This is due to the fact that the city of Zolverassi is built in a huge cavern, and no one knows how big and high the cave is, because the city of the dark elves is made up of a series of independent family castles.

Each castle is a closed fortress ruled by a single family.

Not to mention the fortress of other families, Valilla has not even fully understood her own family fortress - the fortress of the dark elves will only be opened to outsiders on a large scale if their plot fails, and then they will be slaughtered by all the people in the city.

So the city of the Dark Elves is like a hedgehog covered with sharp thorns, and any gesture of hostility will be attacked mercilessly.

What neighbors visit the door to drink with everyone and connect with each other, these behaviors are completely out of their cognition.

Human villages, on the other hand, have all their buildings within a three-meter-high wall made of wood, which looks like the inner fortress of a family, which is why Valera has this problem.

Blue looked at the dark elf who asked questions, then at Macaria.

Macaria was quick to explain to Valeera: "In the human world, the strength of individuals is too weak, so they have joined forces to unite all the buildings into one community to defend against danger from the outside world. and more convenient for everyone to unite and cooperate, and divide their labor. It's just a small village, so it's nothing, and when you get to the big towns, cities, and even big cities, you will find that the factor of protection against external dangers occupies a lot less in their cities, and it becomes ...... Ahem, I won't say it anyway, it's just that there are a lot of temptations in the world of flowers......"

When she saw Valeera's shocked and curious eyes and adoring eyes, Macaria felt quite speechless, she was not a master, and she could not describe in just a few words the changes in the city of humans, elves, dwarves and other races for hundreds of thousands of years.

Anyway, it's better to see than to hear, and I believe that after a while, the dark elves will understand.
