Chapter 72: The Land of Half-Elves
The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.
"That...... It was actually Ira who snatched her necklace. Jiang Feng's eyebrows twitched, and he smiled stiffly, "It's the guy who took you up the mountain before." β
Inexplicably, it took away the purity of the girl.
This hat was so heavy that Jiang Feng felt that he couldn't bear it a little, so he immediately thought of throwing the pot.
"I know I've heard about it on the way up the mountain, that the kid took Emily's necklace at your direction. And she and Emily are both girls and will not be bound by this tradition. Leia said.
"No, no, no, she's actually a boy paper ......"
"Are you kidding us?" With a touch of gloom in her blue pupils, Leia stared at Jiang Feng deadly, "Although we half-elves love peace, we are not easy to bully. β
"I ...... I don't mean to tease you, but don't you think it's unfair to Miss Emily? Jiang Feng said
"Do you know what it means to Emily to be robbed of her necklace?" Leia took a deep breath and stared into Jiang Feng's eyes, "You have taken away her purity, and now you have to abandon her." She will live in the eyes of contempt all her life, being labeled as an unclean, and dying in solitude. β
Her sister's sharp words pierced Emily's heart like thorns. The little whitewashed face brought a touch of sadness that was almost crying.
"It's weird, if the necklace is snatched, you have to marry the other party, so if someone steals a necklace from you, wouldn't you-"
"That person will be killed," interrupted Leia, "If it weren't for your kindness to the creatures of the island and the protection of our relatives and friends from the misery of Chaos, your mere act of snatching Emily's necklace would have been enough to provoke a war." β
Half-elves have a very limited reverence for wizards, and are not as respectful as humans are to wizards. So when she said this, Leia kept staring at Jiang Feng's eyes, and there was no fear in her eyes.
Opening his mouth, Jiang Feng originally wanted to say something, but in the end, he shrugged his shoulders and swallowed back the words that had already come to his mouth.
He wasn't afraid of these natives, though it wasn't really suitable for him to clash with these troublesome creatures. The reason why I didn't continue arguing with Leia was only because I saw Emily's little face that was getting paler.
Obviously, before coming here, this mischievous half-elf girl should have shed a lot of tears, and even made up her bad mind. His repeated refusals may offend not only the traditions of the half-elf clan, but also the immature heart of a certain girl.
Whatever they want, anyway, after the Speed is repaired, they can leave here at any time.
"Emily is not yet mature for the half-elves, and I have a marriage ceremony, and I hope to be able to make her your fiancΓ©e in accordance with your human traditions." Leia stared at Jiang Feng, "And before you officially become partners, I hope you don't bully her." Otherwise, even if my father doesn't say anything, I, as Emily's sister, will never let you go. β
Hearing this, Jiang Feng almost choked to death with saliva.
The ghost would attack such a small imp!
Also, what kind of "tradition of your human race" is this, when did the Federation have such bad habits?
Seeing that Jiang Feng didn't object, Leia ended the topic, and after a pause, continued.
"Also, Mistress Krees wants to see you."
"Who's Kreese?" Jiang Feng asked.
"He is the eldest elder of our clan and the wisdom of all of us...... You'll understand when you meet him. β
"So, are your elders ready to ask me for their crimes?" While saying this, Jiang Feng picked up a sentence in his heart, if it is, then I won't go.
"Nothing to do with it." Leia shook her head. "Some time ago, Master Krees said that I wanted to talk to you in person and thank you personally, but I didn't have a suitable opportunity, and it was not respectful enough to call you to us. But his body is really not suitable for visiting in person...... Don't know when you're available? β
"Actually, you don't have to be so restrained, I'm still very easy-going," Jiang Feng smiled, looked up at the sky, and saw that the sun had just walked up to the treetops, so he said, "It just so happens that my experiment has just come to an end, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just today." β
β¦β¦
They crossed the rocky beach, this time without being stopped by bows and arrows.
Leia Meteor strode in front to lead the way, and Emily, who lowered her little head in frustration, walked behind, Jiang Feng thought about it, slowed down, and walked to Emily's side.
Poked the little girl's arm, looked at the big watery eyes, Jiang Feng lowered his voice and said.
"If I give you back the necklace and act like nothing happened......"
As soon as she heard this, Emily chewed her mouth, shook her head bitterly, and said glutinously.
"No, my father already knows."
"What if I discuss it with your father?" Jiang Feng's gaze stayed on her small body for two seconds, "After all, you see, you're only so small......"
"You, what do you mean!" The big watery eyes instantly became much sharper, Emily raised her eyebrows, crossed her small hands on her waist, and said menacingly, "I'll tell you, my age is more than enough for your grandmother." β
"Are you sure?" Jiang Feng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
Even if you don't count the time spent in the hibernation pod, and the time between planes, he is definitely older than most of the humans on this planet who are still alive.
Even his appearance is no different from when he first graduated from the Centaur Military Academy.
"Hmph, aren't you a wizard, how old are you?" Emily looked incredulous.
Jiang Feng shook his head with a smile, ignoring the little guy's entanglement, his pace quickened slightly, and caught up with Leia, who was walking in front. Emily chased after Jiang Feng relentlessly, like a fried little squirrel, almost chattering all the way.
Seeing her sister's rejuvenated appearance, the corners of Leia's mouth curled slightly, but thinking of her unfortunate experience, the corners of her mouth that had been raised suddenly gradually lowered again.
The half-elves who are united with humans never end up being full of happiness. The short lifespan of human beings is destined to not accompany the half-elves through a long life, and as their companions, the half-elves can only watch them grow old day by day, and eventually wither in the cold winter like withered pine trees.
"Hey! What do I ask you? β
"How long are we left?" Ignoring the rude imp behind him, Jiang Feng asked Leia next to him.
"It's just ahead." Leia said briefly.
The forest became denser and denser, and the colorful light and shadow became more and more sparse, and in the depths of the dense forest, which was almost impermeable, Jiang Feng saw a wall made of curly vines.
Leia reached out and pressed her hand against the emerald green vines.
I saw that the vines seemed to come to life, like pythons, and retreated in all directions, making way for the three of them.
A slightly dazzling light sprinkled through the dense forest, looking at the dreamlike scene in front of him, Jiang Feng couldn't help but narrow his eyelashes slightly.
"This is it," Slender Jade finger retracted from the emerald green vines, Leia turned her head and looked at Jiang Feng and said, "Welcome to our home, this is Elova, and it's also our hometown." β
