Minna nodded: "You want to find my grandfather...... Uncle? She suddenly remembered her grandfather's instructions, "He's not in the room." What are you looking for him? ”

The boy lowered his head and played with the pine cone in his hand, but did not speak for a long time. Minna waited impatiently, and was about to ask again, when Xiao Tianjian's voice came from outside the door, telling her to go downstairs to eat. She answered, but when she looked back, she couldn't see the boy anymore, and she thought it was strange.

Walking downstairs, Xiao Tianjian was sitting at the long table chatting with Qiao, and when he heard his granddaughter greeting them, he turned around and pointed to the dishes on a stump table: "That's your breakfast, you have to finish it." Minna walked over and sat down, and saw that it was a bowl of vegetable soup and a few buns, fragrant and hot, and her appetite was aroused at once, and she immediately began to eat it.

She was tired of eating cold dry food, and she had only drunk a bowl of "painful soup" last night, and now she was so hungry that she could stuff a cow. She gobbled it up while listening curiously to the whispers of her grandfather and Uncle Joe.

"I spent the night discussing with them, I didn't even sleep, they didn't even have a good face, it's too much, right?" Xiao Tianjian vomited bitterness.

Qiao sneered: "Are you content, leave your wife and children, and leave for twenty years, do you still want others to give you a good face?" It's good not to drive you away. ”

Xiao Tianjian was a little sneering: "I know that I have gone too far, but that is also to help the elves find a way to destroy the Snow Field Demonic Beast." Besides, I don't know about the child! I listened to Funoya last night, and when I left, she already knew she was pregnant, and she hid it from me! Now that she's blaming me, isn't she too much? ”

Joe raised his eyebrows, pulled out the cigarette stick on his waist, and said while stuffing tobacco leaves: "Don't pretend to be innocent, even if you know?" I heard that you also have a wife and children outside, haven't you left them behind for many years? ”

Xiao Tianjian was taken aback, and quickly leaned into Qiao's ear and said something, Qiao chuckled: "You can be regarded as self-inflicted, there was no contact with the outside world here before, we don't know these things, but since you built this phantom town according to your proposal, there are several groups of human adventurers who come here every year, we have all heard about you, the legendary epic hero, handsome and brave, amorous, Princess Funoya is very angry." ”

Xiao Tianjian stroked his forehead with a headache: "I didn't lie to her, when I came here, I had already cut off the relationship with my previous wife, and I thought I would live here for the rest of my life, so I didn't mention the past, and I have been in love with Funoya for a long time, and I have no half-heartedness." As for those scandals, they are just fun. ”

Jo lit his pipe and took two puffs: "What's the use of you saying this to me?" Princess Funoya must be willing to listen. However, with the arrogance of the elves, they will definitely not accept it. I really don't understand, you say you like beauty, but is there anyone in the world who is more beautiful than Princess Funoya? Why are you leaving? Still entangled with women outside? ”

"You don't understand, women don't just have to be pretty." Xiao Tianjian muttered in a low voice, "Funoya is indeed beautiful and gentle, but life here is too boring, you can't eat meat, you can't drink alcohol, you can't joke with your wife, and you can't even live with her." What's more, I lived here for five years and married an elf princess, and those elves still looked down on me. Don't they just live longer? What is there to be proud of? ”

"You shouldn't have said that in front of me." Joe glanced at him.

Xiao Tianjian smiled a few words, and said: "Anyway, I can't bear the life here anymore, when I left, I had a big fight with Funoya, and she had already said that she would break up at that time." If I hadn't heard about my son, I wouldn't have rushed back. But she refused to let me see my son to death, do you think she is too much? That's my son, too! ”

Jo lowered his head and smoked his cigarette, and after a while said, "Actually, that boy lives in our town, and although he is the son of a princess, he is still a half-elf. ”

Xiao Tianjian was overjoyed, and quickly grabbed his shoulder and asked, but Qiao was urged by him again and again before he procrastinated: "Even if you tell you, it will not be useful, Princess Funoya does not want you to see him, and he may not be there now." I live here, and I can't ignore the wishes of the Elven royal family. ”

"I understand your difficulties, but for the sake of our friendship of more than 20 years, you can give me some hints."

Joe glanced at him a few times and lowered his voice: "That kid lives in a treehouse, a very special treehouse." ”

The treehouse he was talking about was quickly found, just in the deepest part of the town, the closest place to the elven settlement in the forest, built on a thousand-year-old tree, with a total of three floors, very beautiful, it can be called the most special treehouse in the whole Phantom Town.

Minna was so good at talking that she asked her grandfather to agree to bring her with her, and when she saw the tree house, she let out a "whoosh" and was amazed. Xiao Tianjian, out of some consideration, told his granddaughter to stay where he was, and then climbed into the house to find someone on his own. Minna walked around the treehouse three times, still not feeling enough.

The first floor of the treehouse, which is more than two meters above the ground, is connected by a spiral staircase of wooden planks, the house is circular in shape, the roof is made of bark and hay, and the walls are wooden planks painted with brightly colored and delicate patterns. In the case of a treehouse, it is not small, and it has large windows on all sides. Underneath it, a swing made of vines, planks, and flowers dangles slightly.

The second level is at the waist of the tree, which is smaller than the first and can be reached by a rope ladder woven of vines. The house is made of bark, and the exterior walls are intricately woven with various colors of vines and blades of grass.

The third level, located close to the treetops, is small and looks more like an lookout.

The three-story tree houses all have rope bridges or thick vines connected to the nearby trees, and one of the rope bridges even leads deep into the forest, but the foliage in the forest is too dense to see where it leads for a while.

Minna looked at the treehouse enviously and thought to herself if only she could live in a house like this. Suddenly, she was hit on the head again, and when she looked up, she saw that it was the boy in the morning, sitting on a tree, holding a hand of pine cones.

Minna got angry: "It's you again! Who the hell are you? Why do you keep throwing me pine cones? ”

The boy looked arrogant: "Rude guy! I'm the prince of the elves, and you talk to me like that? ”

Minna glanced at the ordinary clothes on his body and pouted, "Who are you fooling?" Princes live in the palace, wear gorgeous clothes, drink tea, ride horses, dance, and dare to say that they are princes even if they are like you? "What prince would climb a tree all day long and take pine cones to embarrass people?

With an offended look on his face, the boy picked up the pine cone and threw it at Minna. He was very good at the head, and when he lost one, Minna was hit more than a dozen times, screaming in pain, but she couldn't dodge it, and she was about to take another beating, but suddenly a figure flashed in front of her, and Xiao Tianjian blocked in front of her.

He frowned and looked at the pine cone in the palm of his hand and looked at the boy: "Bullying girls is not what a man should do. ”

The boy blushed and stared at him. Minna stuck her head out from behind her grandfather and shouted, "He threw pine cones at me in the morning, and asked about you." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Tianjian looked at the boy, "Do you have something to look for me?" ”

The boy still blushed and didn't speak, Xiao Tianjian didn't care: "You heard other elves talk about me, so you want to come to me, right?" What is your name? ”

The boy held back for a long time before he whispered, "My name is Radlow." But Xiao Tianjian didn't pay attention, his attention at this time had been attracted by a half-elf boy who appeared in front of him.

The boy had silver-gray hair, dark black eyes that clearly did not belong to elves, pointed ears, a slender figure, soft facial features, and a shy smile on his face. He wasn't pretty by all, he was clearly half-elf, and most importantly, he looked like a human teenager of sixteen or seventeen. In the entire town of Wraith, there are very few residents of this age.

He approached Xiao Tianjian and the others with some embarrassment, and said softly, "May I ask what it is...... Uncle Joe's friend? Hello, Uncle Qiao said, you want to walk around the town, let me be your guide. ”

Could it be that Old Joe is hinting at something? This boy has silver-gray hair, slightly darker than Funoya's, it is very likely that he was influenced by himself, not to mention black eyes, although his appearance is not outstanding, but since he is a mixed race, it is normal not to look like an elf. Xiao Tianjian stared at the young man tightly, with some eagerness in his eyes.

While Xiao Tianjian was talking to the boy, Minna was also trying to talk to the little boy: "Is your name Radlow?" Shall I call you Xiaola? My name is Minna and I'm six years old, how old are you? You just threw the pine cone so accurately, how did you do it? ”

But Radlow ignored her completely, just kept a tense face at the two men who were talking. Minna asked a few more times, and he became angry: "It's noisy!" Are you annoyed?! ”

His voice was too loud, Xiao Tianjian and the half-elf boy were shocked, the former frowned, and the latter also said to him with a disapproving face: "Little prince, why are you bullying people again?" If Princess Aurora had known, she would have blamed you again. ”

Xiao Tianjian asked in surprise, "Princess Aurora?" ”

"Yes, the youngest daughter of the Elven Queen, Princess Aurora, heir to the throne."

Xiao Tianjian naturally knew who it was, Funoya's sister, an arrogant and rude woman, it turned out that this boy was her son? No wonder the temper is so bad.

The little boy seemed to notice the alienation in Xiao Tianjian's eyes, his face turned red again, he glared at the half-elf boy fiercely, and ran away quickly.

The young man scratched his head embarrassedly: "This kid is really ...... Don't mind, he's just a little naughty. Xiao Tianjian smiled: "It's okay, kid." ”

Minna looked at Radlow's back, a little disappointed, she pulled the corner of the young man's clothes: "You just called him the little prince, is he really a prince?" ”

The young man was about to answer, but another male elf who sent Xiao Tianjian's ancestor into the town yesterday suddenly appeared: "Xiao Tianjian, the queen wants to see you, please come with me immediately." ”

Xiao Tianjian frowned, but he also knew that the matter was important, so he hurriedly explained a few words to his granddaughter, and asked the young man: "This is the child in my family, please help me take care of it, take her around, and send it back to Qiao directly." ”

The boy smiled in response, glancing at the male elf a little awkwardly. Seeing this, Xiao Tianjian became even more suspicious.

Minna was very disappointed to see her grandfather leave, and when she wandered around the town with the teenager, she couldn't keep up even if she saw more interesting houses. After returning to the inn, the young man said to her with some shame: "I'm sorry, I don't know how to get along with children, I was bored just now, right?" ”

Minna hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, you said it very interesting, but I ......" She scratched her head, didn't know what to say, squeaked, and simply asked the previous question: "That Radlow, you said he was a prince, is it true?" ”

The young man was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Yes, he is the grandson of the elf queen, the only newborn descendant of the elf royal family in three hundred years, but it's a pity that ......" his eyes were a little gloomy, "It's a half-elf." It's ironic, he has the silver hair and golden eyes of the elf royal family, and he was born after three years of gestation in the mother tree, and he is completely no different from a normal elf, just because he has human blood, he can't become a real elf royal family, but he just has the name of a prince. ”
