"Be careful, don't step on the ground, we'll speed up and fly through this forest."

Natya Vida hurried back to the Clover Forest with a confused Natsu, and said to her in a hurry:

"Also, don't go over the canopy of trees when flying, and try to let the trees cover your body, otherwise you will be targeted by all the monsters in the vicinity."

At this time, the glowing dream world was gone, and the entire forest turned black, coupled with the disappearance of the sun and the many branches and leaves in the sky, even Natsu, who could see at night, flew a little hard.

But this is not the case with the half-elf girl, as if she knows every tentacle of the forest, she easily dodges the branches and the area where the monsters live, and keeps flying forward with Natsu.

A low roar came from the sides of the two.

A beast covered in triangular leaves, walked a few steps on the ground in agony, and finally collapsed weakly under a tree.

"The leaves on the ground have all turned into sharp blades."

Xia saw the ground below like a pinprick terrain, and felt secretly frightened:

Stephanie didn't finish her words just now...... It's better to let Nana tell me in person, otherwise I can't explain why I didn't understand at first but then understood, and I must not let her know that there is a little Lori who has been with me. ”

Compared to the vampire Wendy, Natia Vida is more jealous, and Wendy is openly jealous, but she has a tendency to hold grudges, which is obviously more difficult to deal with, and she doesn't want to be shackled again to be trained ♀ again.

"Click, click, click......"

As a monster, the chirping bird is not afraid of the leaves on the ground at all, its claws are extremely hard, and the triangular blades cannot be penetrated at all, and it clicks when stepping on it.

In order to take care of Xia's mount, their speed was not too fast, and after three hours, they finally broke out of the black needle jungle and came to the ordinary forest.

"Do you want to take a break?" Xia asked with concern.

Flying for three hours in a row is a lot of consumption for a mage, even for the Grand Magus.

"No, we're going to keep flying, and we'll find a place to rest when we have half of our mana left."

Natya Vida flew to her side and replied:

"Actually, it's better to just fly all the way to the big city nearby, which is the safest; But we still have to keep our spare energy to fight, and we can't ignore possible crises because we are in a hurry. ”

With that, she suddenly unleashed two wind blades, and the wings of a flying monster that pounced on the two of them from the tree were severed, and then an ice pick was plunged into the head by her.

All kinds of monsters began to appear one after another, and Xia also joined the battle to clear the obstacles, occasionally looking back at the chirping birds that followed him from afar, and found that it was still very energetic, and the speed did not decrease at all after running for so long.

"Click!"

A monster struck it from the shadows, and the chirp pecked it in two with its white beak, sharper than a normal sword.

"Light of the Land...... It turns out that its body can really glow, no wonder people call it that. ”

Seeing its explosive combat power, Natsu let go of his worries and concentrated on following Natya Vida as he fought and flew towards the edge of the forest.

The northern forest was extensive, and after half of Nati Yavida's magic was consumed, the two slowed down and began to look for a place to rest.

"This tree hole is not too hidden, go over there and look for it."

Xia Yi looked for a few places in a row, but she was not very satisfied, because this time she was accompanied by her beloved girl, so she naturally had to choose a safe and comfortable environment, otherwise wouldn't it seem that she was very incompetent?

"Chirp—"

The chirping bird ran over to her and barked twice, then turned and ran northwest.

"Could it have found a good place?"

Xia flew over curiously, and found that it stopped in front of a downward crypt, flapping its little wings happily.

"Roar!!"

Then there was a roar from the crypt.

A large black figure walked out of it, its eyes glowing green, and the broad soles of its feet trembled.

"Giant Bear!"

Natsu tensed.

Although it is called a bear, this is not an ordinary beast, but a powerful monster, and since it is not affected by the dark aura, it is not a monster; But that kind of strange power and strong defense, ordinary monsters have to retreat when they see it.

"Master, the giant bear is now an A+ level boss, we should be able to deal with it."

The little Lori in black was also helping to find a place to rest, and when she noticed the abnormality, she flew over immediately, looked at the big monster and said.

"In order to give Nana a safe place to live, fight!"

Recalling the chirping bird, Natsu gritted his teeth and pulled out his long sword.

Under normal circumstances, she would not go to trouble with this kind of big guy, but now that the situation is special, her strength is much stronger than before, so there is no need to worry too much.

"-Whew!"

The bear saw the hostile human in front of him, and without saying a word, he stretched out his front paws and slapped at her.

Xia Ke would not be stupid enough to fight the other party, dodged to the side, and was about to swing his sword forward, but was stopped by Natya Vida, who rushed to the scene when he heard the roar.

"Wait a minute."

Natyavida hovered in the air and performed a pacifying spell on the bear.

The giant bear grinned and closed its mouth, looking at the half-elf in the air suspiciously, and it could feel a sense of closeness from the other party.

"The predecessor of this monster was the guardian of the forest, and it became ferocious for some reason, but it was not polluted, and my elven bloodline should be able to communicate with it."

Natya Vida explained to Natsu.

Then she walked over to the bear, glowing a light green.

The light was soft and warm, and the Bright Light Bear took a step back at first, but quickly stopped, a look of nostalgia in his eyes that flashed with a fierce light.

It remembered a long, long time ago, when the forest was still peaceful, there was such an elf girl playing the green flute in front of it, playing with it as a child, and riding it around the forest.

The elven girl would stroke her furry head with warm hands and snuggle up with it on cold nights to fall asleep, and that time was the warmest of her childhood.

"We need a place to rest, Guardian."

Natya Vida said to it in Elvish.

Hearing the familiar name, the bear stood upright, moved its massive body aside, and made way of the entrance to the crypt.

"That's it?"

Xia had the painful experience of fighting with the giant bear for a whole day at the beginning of the fourth turn, and his face was full of incredulity when he saw this kind of powerful monster obediently let people enter his lair.

"If it weren't for the hostility you felt when you saw it, and the white bird was a magical beast with magic fluctuations, you could have done it."

Natyavida pulled Sha in front of the bear, and when he saw her, the bear put his front paws back on the ground, sniffed at her, and arched her in a friendly way.

"You...... Hello. ”

Natsu also whispered hello to him with a little "modern" elf.

The giant bear stretched out a palm and shook it at her, as if in response to her, and the action was very human.

"Nana, the bears' dens are usually very smelly, I was going to chase it away and clean it up before letting you in......"

She had the experience of robbing a wild bear's lair, and whispered to the half-elf girl.

"Don't worry, Guardians aren't beasts, they love cleanliness."

Seeing her so considerate, Natyavida smiled, reached out and touched the bear's chin, motioning for her to go in with the chirp bird.

"Wow, there's so much food hidden in here, is it going to hibernat?"

Natsu saw that the nest was full of dried fruits and grass, but there was no meat in these foods, could it be that the giant bear was a vegetarian with such a large size?

"It says it's dangerous out there right now, and that it will keep a vigil at the entrance of the cave for us."

Natyavida walked in with a few dry twigs and lit a fire with her magic.

"There's actually another exit here, left by a former elf; We don't have to disturb it when we go, just go out from there, and the deterrence of the guardians keeps it safe from harassment, so it sleeps all the time. ”

"I'm going to Zekeria, will you come with me?"

Xia helped her lay out the sleeping place and asked tentatively.

"You're going to save your student council president, so I'm not going."

Natyavida sat by the fire and said without looking back.

"I'm sorry, I forgot that you don't have a good relationship."

Natsu remembered Natia Vida's attitude towards the student president, as if the two had always been cold to each other, and the relationship with the vampire Wendy was better.

"By the way, how did you end up with a vampire? She's a creature of darkness, don't you hate creature of darkness the most. ”

She was a little strange about the relationship between the half-elf girl in front of her and the two.

"Who told you that Wendy is a creature of darkness?"

Natyavida gave her a blank look.

"Isn't it, a lot of literature says so......"

Xia played with his hair with his fingers and said weakly.

"It's true that she can use dark magic, but can't humans too? Vampires are a species that has existed since ancient times, and their history is no worse than that of the High Elves; The so-called vampires are all degenerates, and the historical documents are all the products of the Church and the Empire, so they cannot be trusted at all. ”

Natya Vida snorted and sat down on the hay bed she had made for herself, then saw Natsu leave and make another place to sleep.

"Speaking of which, the elven dagger didn't warn Wendy, so what Nana said should be right."

The other party's words subverted the impression that those film and television dramas had on Xia, and she couldn't accept it for a while.

"I was at first, like you, and thought she was an evil being."

Lying on the hay, Natya Vida said:

"But then I found out that ......" said this, and she fell silent.

"Actually, it's not night."

Xia looked at the dark entrance of the cave and felt a little ridiculous in his heart:

How can anyone sleep in a hole in the ground during the day?

"But it's good to rest, that giant bear is a boss-level monster, and it's not often that the boss has the opportunity to guard the door for himself."

When she saw Natyavida's worried face, she comforted her:

"I've heard the saying before: no matter what happens in the world, the sun will always rise. I don't know exactly what terrible things will happen during this period, but I believe it will soon pass. ”

She quietly got off the ground, touched the other party's side and grabbed her hand:

"And now that I'm by your side, I'll definitely escort you safely to a nearby city."

Then he lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the back of her hand.

"You're wrong......"

The half-elf girl sighed, "Follow me." ”

She walked to the other end of the crypt and opened the passage behind her with a spell.

The two of them went all the way outside, Natya Vida unleashed her wind magic and flew into the air, while Natsu stepped lightly on the branches and came to the top of the tree with her.

"I ...... Is this a dream? ”

Xia felt a strange light shining above his head, and looked up, and his whole body stiffened there.

In what was supposed to be the sun, a huge blue star appeared, which at first glance looked like the moon magnified a thousand times more, and the craters formed by the impact of meteorites were clearly visible, and some craters with faint red glow were visible.

"If it weren't for the fact that there was no moon sea on its surface, and that the lunar volcano hadn't erupted for more than 100 million years, I would have thought I had come to the universe and was looking at the moon from a very close place."

Natsu's eyes were full of incredulity.

"The universe? It seems that you have a lot of research on legacy technology, which is a term in astronomy, and very few people know about it. ”

Natya Vida glanced at Natsu, then moved her gaze to the blue star:

"It's getting bigger......"

She looked at the sky and whispered, fear in her voice:

"The first thing people see is just a slightly brighter star; Now it's like this, as if it's getting closer to us. ”

"The Star of Destruction."

Natya Vida grabbed Natsu's hand and said, she could feel her hand cold:

"Planet Salya...... This star, which looks like it is about to fall, can be said to be the root of all anomalies in this world; Its appearance represents the "eternal night", the sun will never rise the next day, and the monsters will continue to wreak havoc on the continent, frantically encroaching on the territory of humans and aliens. ”

Natsu felt her body tremble and stretched out her arms to take her in her arms, wanting to say something comforting, but found that she couldn't say anything.

"Eternal night, this is the first stage; If the legend is correct, in seven days, there will be nightmares for all magicians. ”

Natya Vida raised her head, looked at her and said:

"At that time, all the magic factors will become extremely chaotic, elemental magic, dark magic...... All become unusable, and the magicians will choose to escape from the world, so the second stage is also known as the "magician's last night", and we must rush to the big city before then, where it is relatively safe. ”R1152
