Volume III 067 - Minnet

On the street of Huttonmar. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A man in a cloak with a giant sword behind his back, followed by a dark elf woman with a big ponytail...... This seems like a strange combination, as Dark Elves don't usually like to be around humans.

It's not that there is any prejudice against humans, because strictly speaking, dark elves are not aimed at humans, but they don't like to be around foreigners, probably more xenophobic...... The xenophobia mentioned here does not mean that there is any hostility, but the dark elves seem to feel uncomfortable when they get along with foreigners.

Even if everyone knows that the Duchy of Belmar has formed an alliance with the Dark Elves for a while, this group of dark-skinned and pointy-eared guys still seem to be the same, looking mysteriously like ninjas - speaking of which, in the DNF worldview, ninjas really seem to be a profession originating from the Dark Elves.

After getting along for a while, Locke doesn't seem to have much opinion on Forrest Gump, but she still feels that this man's eyes are very wrong, but she is also very troubled, because she always feels that although she has no impression of this man, sometimes it seems that it is out of habit, and she always unconsciously comes to this man.

It feels strange to think about.

Forrest Gump didn't know what Lockhee thought, during this time he took Locke to the West Coast to find Shalan, and asked her to look at Lockhee's situation, but what Shalan said was also a little inexplicable: "It's normal...... If you don't tell me, I really don't know that she's a person who died and came back again...... I've learned a little bit about necromancy, but I really don't see anything wrong with her, so why don't you go to the backstreets of Huttonmar and find a dark elf named Minette, who was sent by Queen Maya to do some chores...... Oh, bring this token of mine with you, although she doesn't do any dirty work, but it's always a little unreasonable to rush to her...... You just show her this, and say that I let you go; Minette has a more advanced study of necromancy, at least better than me, and if she doesn't know what's going on, then I can't help it. ”

So after so long, the two returned to Huttonmaar.

However, Forrest Gump didn't rush to take Lockhee to the backstreets first, but took her to the Moonlight Tavern.

As soon as he entered, he looked at Sosia at the counter in amazement...... It's not that there's anything wrong with her, it's because in the Moonlight Tavern now, all the waiters have been replaced by elven girls with pointed ears, and at the counter, Sosia is also smiling and saying something to Selia.

"Oops, Forrest Gump? It's been a long time since you've been here. Sosia saw Forrest Gump at the door, so she beckoned to him, "Drinking?" Why don't you try the ultra-authentic elf essence? This is made by the professional brewers in the family! It's much better than my previous half-baked work! ”

"......" Forrest Gump dragged Lockey into the tavern, sat down at the counter, looked at the elven girls running around in the tavern, and finally stared at Sosia and asked, "What the hell?" ”

"What? What the hell? Sosia tilted her head and asked, then pushed Selia to the front, "Selia, you say?" Oh, I brought her back from the Elwin Line a while ago, after all, now that the elves have returned, it doesn't matter if she knows her background, right? Celestia was once an elf! ”

"No, that's not the point......" Forrest Gump waved his hand to the left, his eyelids twitching as he looked at Lockhee—who was staring at an elven girl not far away—and asked Sothia, "The elves are back or something, it doesn't mean much to me, I just want to ask...... Why is your tavern so lively all of a sudden? ”

Sosia squinted his eyes and smiled, "Look at what you said, was my tavern very deserted before?" ”

"Oh, no...... But it's not as troublesome as it is now, right? Forrest Gump pointed to the crowded scene, "And why do I always feel that there are so many more women in it?" ”

"Because of the elven essence." Sosia laughed, "A healthy drink that can be consumed by men, women, and children, although it is drunk, it is not alcoholic in itself...... Would you like to try it? ”

"I ...... Uh............" Forrest Gump hesitated for a moment, then felt someone tugging at his sleeve, and when he turned around, Locke stared at him with a look full of hope.

――――――――

Hutton Marr Backstreets.

"Damn, this place is so messy...... Forrest Gump came to the back street with the unconscious Locke on his back, frowned when he looked at the garbage everywhere, and by the way, he also scared away the group of thugs who were not far away who were originally coming this way with super terrifying eyes.

"I'll see...... Backstreets 35-2509...... Uh, where did it come from? He muttered to himself, looking around, and it turned out that he didn't know how to find this so-called address - not to mention the house number in this back street, even the style of the buildings was different from one building to another, and the only common thing was that they were all white walls, but these new and dilapidated houses of different styles all stood on both sides of the street, which made him feel blinded for a while.

At this time, a woman's voice came from behind: "35-2509? Are you looking for me? What's the matter? ”

When......? Forrest Gump turned abruptly and found a dark elf woman dressed in tight black standing behind her, holding a large paper bag full of food in her hand.

"You're Forrest Gump, right? Although few people know about you now, it just so happens that I have heard about you...... It seems that you have weakened over the years, and you can't even find a character like me? The dark elf woman leaned over and looked at the loxie on his back and frowned, "This guy is drunk...... What are you trying to do? ”

"Huh? Ah...... This ......" Forrest Gump was immediately embarrassed, and he shook his head vigorously, "Are you Minette?" In fact, it's because of this woman that I came to you...... Well, it was Sharan who introduced me. ”

As he spoke, he took out an inexplicable small wooden sign from his arms with one free hand, which was the so-called token given by Shalan.

Minette took the wooden sign and looked at it, and nodded: "Come with me, go to my house and say." ”

The three of them wandered around the back street for a long time, and finally entered a house that looked dilapidated, and after entering, Forrest Gump looked at the messy and badly rotten furniture, frowned and asked, "You live here?" ”

Minette shook her head, walked over to the peeling brick in the corner, knocked it in many places in an intricate order, and then turned back to Forrest Gump and said, "I live here." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the fireplace in the center of the house suddenly clicked, splitting in two parts in the middle and sliding open in both sides, revealing a downward staircase.

Forrest Gump followed her down the stairs, and after a while, she came to a spacious basement, surrounded by crystal lamps on the walls, which made the place very bright, and I don't know how Minette did it, there was a breeze blowing in this basement, and the air was very fresh, not like the dull feeling of a sealed space.

"Come on, sit down for a while, and ...... Well, I give you special permission to put this woman on my bed, and you can tell me what the hell is going on before she wakes up. ”

Minette sat down on the couch with her legs crossed, and pointed to the unspeakably spacious bed in the corner.

"You live here with someone else?" Forrest Gump looked at the size of the bed and subconsciously asked.

“…… No, it's just that I don't sleep honestly, by the way, are you interested in this? Minette glanced at him.

"I'm sorry."
