XXVI. Newcomers

Minna let out a scream, and then there was a sharp pain, and she had fallen to the ground, but fortunately the grass in the forest was thick, and she had not been killed, but the tips of the grass were covered with broken ice, which seeped into her clothes in an instant, and she felt very painful and cold all over.

At this moment, there was a beast roar in front of her, and as soon as she looked up, she saw a white light coming towards her. She froze completely, unable to move, thinking that this time she was going to die, and couldn't help but close her eyes tightly. Fortunately, she didn't feel the biting chill for a long time, and when she opened her eyes, she just saw a thin blue light shield unfolding in front of her, which was about to disappear. She turned her head to look in the direction of the beauty in white, and just saw that the other party was relieved, and knew that the other party had saved her.

But it's too early to be reassured, although the demonic beast has been tortured by her fire venom juice, she can only shake her body from side to side, and the saliva she spits out has lost its original strength, but she is too close, and it is still possible to be injured. She held back the pain in her body and tried her best to move back, just to avoid a few points of saliva from the demonic beast.

The monster seemed to be angry that she had escaped, its huge body swept suddenly, and then with a roar, countless gravel grass clippings roared in the direction of Minna, Minna was so frightened that she fell to the ground with her head in her hands, and as a strong wind blew, many branches, mud and gravel hit her, and she burst into tears.

The monster roared again, Minna's body trembled, thinking that she was going to be broken by another round of branches, but as soon as she saw a flower in front of her, she was hugged and jumped away, and in a blink of an eye, she came to the edge of the clearing, and the place where she was lying was already a piece of frost. When she looked back, it turned out that it was her grandfather who saved her, and she felt a sense of grievance in her heart, and tears flowed out of her eyes: "Grandpa-"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm here." Xiao Tianjian patted his granddaughter's head gently, and didn't care about saying anything else, so he took the sword and fought against it.

By this time, the situation in the forest was completely different, and twenty or thirty elves appeared around, attacking the wounded monsters with bows and arrows or magic. While most of the arrows had little effect, two of the blackened steel arrows plunged deep into the beast's body. It struggled unwillingly, its range of movements getting smaller and smaller, and gradually, it stopped moving at all.

Lucien stepped forward to inspect his companions, and pierced the beast's eye with a long knife, and when he saw that it was still motionless, he confirmed that it was really dead, and turned back to a majestic elf with a green wooden staff in his hand, and nodded to an obviously older elf.

The elf breathed a sigh of relief, and asked solemnly, "What's the matter?" How did the patrol put the monster in? Although it is only a minor, it is not so easy to ignore. Funoya and Aurora are in distress, but no one has been found for a long time. If it weren't for Cher's report, they would be in danger. ”

The elves all bowed their heads, and the elves with the staff asked the woman in black who had been helped over: "Why don't you bring guards with you when you want to leave the station?" Don't you know that the power of Warcraft will begin to revive as soon as the summer passes? What would you have done if we hadn't arrived, or had arrived late?! ”

The woman in black lowered her head when she heard this: "I'm sorry, father, I was negligent." After a pause, she looked up again and said, "That human kid just dropped a bottle of unknown potion on the Warcraft, which seems to have caused great damage to the Warcraft. Father ......"

All eyes (elves) suddenly fell on Minna, who shrank into her grandfather's arms, her hands clutching his clothes. Xiao Tianjian asked her solemnly, "Minna, what did you drop on the demonic beast?" ”

Minna whispered, "It's the fire venom juice, Grandpa Sennet's leftover ......"

Xiao Tianjian's eyes widened: "It's in a bottle?" You ...... the whole bottle" Seeing his granddaughter nodding, he couldn't help but have the urge to look up to the sky and roar, that was enough to make twenty fire poison arrows, all of which were used on an underage demonic beast, which was really too ...... What a waste!

But at the moment, he didn't have much to say, after all, at that kind of crisis, it seemed unrealistic to ask a child to consider the amount of poison juice, but such a young child dared to run into the depths of the forest to fight against the demonic beast, and she was too bold.

"Minna, I remember telling you to stay in your room in the morning to review your homework, why did you come here? And with such a dangerous potion! Dealing with such a dangerous thing as Warcraft, just leave it to the adults, why are you staying?! You think it's fun to be a hero?! Don't do that again! The next time you see a monster, run for me immediately, do you hear?! ”

Minna obediently bowed her head to listen to the training, feeling a little aggrieved, she didn't mean to provoke the monster, she just followed Xiaola, and just happened to run into it. She was very brave just now, why did grandpa scold her instead?

She suddenly remembered that Radlow had not known what was going on, so she glanced at him secretly, and was secretly relieved to see that he was sleeping in the arms of an adult male elf with his eyes closed, and that he did not seem to be hurt except that his face was paler.

When the woman in black heard Xiao Tianjian's words, she snorted coldly: "This kid still has some courage, you claim to be a hero, and you actually want others to be cowards?" What an amazing way to educate. ”

Xiao Tianjian was a little stumbling, and it was difficult to refute her, so he had to turn his head and ask the white-clothed beauty: "Funoya, are you okay?" Are there any injuries? ”

The white-clothed beauty, Princess Funoya, glanced at him meaningfully, and shook her head lightly: "I'm fine, only some skin injuries, and I'm already healed." She turned back to the elf behind her and said, "Take someone to the town to have a look, the patrol doesn't seem to have appeared yet, I don't know if anyone in the town is injured, if there is a serious injury, notify me immediately." The elf answered, beckoning a few of his companions and swept in the direction of the town.

Xiao Tianjian couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw that Fu Nuoya was either greeting if the other elves were injured, or checking the situation of the half-elf child, completely ignoring his own meaning.

The staff elf lightly tapped the ground under his feet with the wooden staff, and when Xiao Tianjian moved his gaze to him, he said: "It seems that the effect of the fire poison arrow is good, we don't have to argue anymore, and I hope you can continue to assist us in the next action." Xiao Tianjian hurriedly responded, and the elf nodded, and motioned for the others to leave with him.

Xiao Tianjian was about to step forward to say something to Funoya, but was preempted by her sister: "Sister, I didn't expect that Radlow actually had such a talent, it's really a surprise." Let's take him back to the station for one night to observe, so that nothing happens. ”

Funoya was a little surprised: "Is this okay?" Mother said......" "Mother did say that non-elves could not enter the station. Princess Aurora smiled proudly, "But even humans can go in and discuss things, so what's wrong with our children staying for one night?" He saved us. ”

Funoya smiled when she heard this, and asked the other elves to pick up the child and leave, Xiao Tianjian was just about to catch up, but was pulled by Minna's sleeve: "Grandpa, I hurt so much......" Xiao Tianjian looked down at his granddaughter, startled, Minna's whole body was covered with blood, and there was a slight twitch in her right foot. He couldn't care about anything else, so he picked up his granddaughter and ran to Phantom Town.

Minna only felt that her body was getting more and more painful, and there was a lot of ice in the forest, and the cold was getting heavier and heavier. She shivered slightly, and it wasn't until she returned to the inn room that her grandfather found a large bucket of hot water, poured several bottles of potion into it, and then let her in to soak it, and then felt warm.

Xiao Tianjian went to find medicine to cure the cold and asked his granddaughter to clean her body by herself. Minna took off her clothes and watched the large and small wounds on her body slowly heal under the soak of the potion, and the pain gradually disappeared, which was really amazing. Could this be another medicine made by Grandpa Sennet?

After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Minna limped to the big bed and lay down on it, her body was soft and tired. She yawned and fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was already night, and she found that the wounds on her body had been medicated and bandaged, and a thick bandage was tied to her right foot, which was warm and exuding a faint fragrance, and she didn't know what kind of medicine she was wearing.

Xiao Tianjian was busy by the bedside, as if he was packing something, Minna asked curiously, "Grandpa, what are you doing?" Xiao Tianjian turned around and smiled: "Awake?" The meal is on the bedside table, it's still hot, so let's eat it. I'm packing my bags and going out for a few days. ”

Minna, who was leaning on the bedside table, was stunned when she heard this, and her mouth flattened: "You're going to leave me again!" ”

Xiao Tianjian hurriedly said: "I didn't want to leave you, grandpa is going to kill the Snow Field Demonic Beast, have you forgotten?" Grandpa made those fire poison arrows to kill them. Now that the weather is getting cooler, if you wait until winter to go, their strength will increase, and it will not be easy to kill, so you should set off as soon as possible. Think about the situation during the day, only one half-elf was injured today, but next time it's hard to say. You don't want the people in the town to be killed by monsters, do you? ”

Minna tilted her head and thought about it, thinking that she still liked this town and those half-elves, so she nodded, "Okay, but I'm going too, I won't trouble you." ”

"That's not going to work." Xiao Tianjian was taken aback, "You almost died today, it's just an underage demonic beast, it's not always as lucky as today, stay here obediently, you still have to recuperate." ”

Minna moved her hands and feet, and found that she had to go a long way with her own situation, which was indeed a little reluctant, so she had to agree, but asked Grandpa to come back as soon as possible: "Grandpa promised to go back in a month or two at most, Grandpa Marshall is still waiting for us, it's been a month and a half now, grandpa can't talk doesn't count!" ”

Xiao Tianjian narrowed his eyes and pulled away a fake smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely rush back as soon as possible!" ”

He has not sent a message back for several days, but Minna heard from Lao Qiao that things should be going well, and it seems that she has killed a lot of snow field monsters, and she is also relieved. For several days, she was forced to stay in her room due to her limited mobility, unable to go out, except for the occasional chat between Old Joe and the half-elf boy Lever, who had to read books or practice magic on her own.

She was somewhat surprised to find that her magic seemed to have improved, but she hadn't practiced meditation for several days since she left the old magician's house, so why had her magic increased?

Puzzled, she no longer bothered. Seeing that her injuries were almost healed, she threw all her books aside and ran downstairs.

When she came to the restaurant downstairs, she was a little surprised to find that there were new customers in the store, different from the half-elves, these people were strong, and a few of them had long beards, judging from their clothes, they should be human beings like her, some like the mercenaries she had seen in the Qitun tavern, but for some reason, these people always gave people a bad feeling.

They were gathering in the dining room to drink and talk, and some of them were noisy, and the half-elves avoided them. Minna cautiously approached the long table and greeted Old Joe, who said happily, "Good day, little Minna, are your injuries healed?" ”

Minna smiled and nodded: "I'm all right, thank you Uncle Qiao for the medicinal soup, it's delicious." Old Qiao happily said: "Hungry, right?" Lunch was ready right away. He turned around and brought a wooden bowl of hot soup, full of mushrooms and plant tubers, and then picked a bunch of red fruits from the window: "Here, you like this best, don't you?" ”

Minna thanked her loudly, took the fruit and ate it, and talked to Old Joe about her grandfather while drinking the soup. Old Qiao smiled and said, "There should be a message back today, if there is no accident, they should have killed all the demonic beasts." Maybe before winter, we can go back to the place where we used to live and get some old things, I don't know if it's still there. ”

"Where did you live before?"

"That's right, the place where we used to live is actually a secret gathering place for the half-elves all along, but not many people have lived there, and that's where we store our things." Old Qiao smiled and explained Minna's doubts, but suddenly straightened his face and looked behind her: "What does this guest want?" ”

Minna turned her head to see that it was a mercenary who was putting his ear towards them, and was spotted by Joe, who was a little sneering: "It's nothing...... I think the soup is good, can you bring me one? ”

"Wait!" Old Qiao responded coldly, turned around and sent a basin over, and when he put it on the mercenary table, he seemed to inadvertently knock on the stump table next to him with a cigarette stick, and the table top suddenly cracked a big crack. He muttered that the wood was not strong, and glanced at the mercenaries, then turned back to the long table.

As soon as he left, several of the mercenaries began to whisper, seemingly interested in the crack in the stump's table.

Minna whispered to Old Joe, "Who are they?" ”

"The new human mercenary." Old Qiao pouted, "It's not an old guest, it's probably from someone else who asked for the trick, he came by himself, he didn't understand the rules, he was casually intruding around, and he had a fight with the patrol team." It was because of them, the day the monster came, that the patrol did not find out that you were in danger in the forest. He took out a basket of apples from the kitchen and handed it to Minna: "Take it with the little prince, these people stay in the shop, I don't know what will happen, you go out and hide, and come back at dinner." ”

Minna nodded in agreement, and after eating, she took the basket and ran out. As soon as he ran a short distance, he was hit by something in his calf, and he went weak for a while, fell to the ground, and two apples in the basket rolled out. She got up and was about to pick it up, but someone got the apple in her hand before her.

It was a middle-aged man, one of the mercenaries he had seen in the store just now, and he smiled at her with his mouth open, revealing his blackened teeth: "Little sister, why are you so careless when you walk?" Come on, come on, put it away. ”

Minna's heart was furious, she carefully took the apple, thanked her, and wanted to continue walking, but was stopped by another mercenary: "Don't be in a hurry to go, it's rare to see compatriots in this kind of place, you are also human, right?" Let's talk to my uncles. ”

It was a man in his thirties, with a long, deep scar covering half of his face, and a toothpick in his mouth, looking at her with a grin.

Minna was caught between two men, scared in her heart.
