"I take the liberty of asking, old man, how old are you this year. Lias was still surprised.

Spend almost all of your life in one place.

Belch......

It's not that I haven't heard such stories.

Just like the Great Wall Guards, they will live in the North for most of their lives, and only in their later years can leave if they want to, but usually most people don't choose to leave at that time.

Having lived all my life, there is nothing more familiar than here.

I'd rather a few old people have a drink together, and they will aimlessly look for the family that has long since lost contact.

But that's not the same.

At least it's in the town, where there are a lot of people, and it's a place where almost no one comes over.

Hearing Lias's inquiry, the old man burst out laughing.

Wang Chu found that he didn't have many teeth left, no wonder he couldn't eat meat.

There was a lot of food hanging in this room, but most of it was vegetables, and there were some special plant branches, Wang Chu didn't know what it was, it looked like some kind of rhizome.

Of course, there are also fruits, which are also roasted and dried.

"I'm almost eighty years old this year. ”

Eighty years old, staying in this place for sixty years, that is to say, the other party came to live here in his teens.

There was a hunting bow hanging on the wall where the bed rested, which proved Wang Chu's previous conjecture.

The other party was really a hunter before.

It is very difficult to get through this kind of place just by eating some vegetables and fruits, and when you are young, you should have hunted everywhere and ate fruits and vegetables until you were old enough to gnaw on them.

"Eighty, so you've been here since you were a teenager?" Lias put down the bowl in her hand.

I want to talk to each other more, after all, I haven't met someone until now after walking for so many days.

It could be seen that the old man hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time.

I don't know if it's old or deteriorating language skills.,The words aren't particularly clear.,But I like to talk to the two of them.。

Usually at this time, Wang Chu would climb out alone and look around the surrounding environment.

A shabby old old style cottage.

Nothing special.

The cleaning was very clean, and it could be seen that the old man was still used to maintaining a tidy life even at this age, which was different from the many smug hunters he had met before.

Even Christian, who is also a hunter, is not so clean that girl.

"Drink more, it's cold here, there's still in the pot, I'll pour it for you." "The old man was very hospitable.

"No, that's all we need. ”

"It's okay, there's a lot more here, and I usually drink this pot for many days...... You've come just in time, go back when you're full, this is not a place for a little girl like you, it's too desolate and very cold. The old man continued.

Lias took a deep breath, she didn't want to hide it at this time, she was going to continue walking, and it was good if she finally met a family who could find out any news.

"Actually, old man. We're going to go to the Elven Forest, do you know how far we go?"

Bang dang.

I heard the bowl in the elven forest old man's hand fall.

"That place is too dangerous for you to go, and it's better never to go...... When you're done eating, go back quickly. The voice raised a few points.

It made the two of them even more curious.

"Why can't you go, how can the Elven Forest be so dangerous as you say. Anwenna said dissatisfied.

But it was this sentence that caused the old man to turn his head sharply.

"You, you're an elf?"

Wang Chu didn't expect that An Wenna's disguise, which had never been recognized, would actually be recognized by the other party as soon as she opened her mouth.

But Avenna doesn't have any accent, even if she has been smoothed out by herself for a year, and now she speaks like Lias.

"You really are elves!" the old man confirmed.

"Yes, I am. "Take off the hood, and a pair of long ears pop out in an instant.

Wang Chu noticed the old man's eyes at this time.

A mixed feeling, regret, sadness, or sigh...... I can't read it.

He just slowly bent down and picked up the wooden bowl on the ground.

This time he served himself another bowl and slowly sat down in his seat.

"Grandpa, have you ever seen an elf?"

"Yes. ”

"When?"

"Very early. ”

The other party's answer was simple, he didn't pay attention to Lias's inquiry at all, and sat alone in front of the fireplace and watched the burning fire.

"Because I've heard the same thing, even the tone of my voice is exactly the same. ”

........................

It was a long story, about sixty years ago, and although it had been so long, the old man was still full of joy when he said it.

A story about a farmer hunter, a story about a hunter in the wilderness.

A young hunter from an ordinary farmer's family, he has been hunting in this deserted place since the day he was able to pick up a longbow, in order to survive.

A single animal skin can be bought for a lot of money, and of course, diners who like to eat pickled offal will also buy it.

He had heard that further west was the land of the beasts, where there were more and more valuable prey.

For this reason, the young hunter continued westward without fear.

It took several days to see the legendary forest and see more prey.

But it was then that the young hunter met an opponent, a girl, whom he swore he had never seen with such a beautiful face.

She forbade him to hunt, and the two got into a big fight over it.

"She must have let me at the time, but then I learned about the elves' abilities, and if she really wanted to kill me, I probably wouldn't be alive now. ”

As with all bard stories, sometimes it happens in reality.

The two often quarrel and quarrel, but in the end they come together.

But how could a farmer return to the town with an elf, and the same elf could not leave the forest...... To this end, they found a way, a way for the two to compromise.

Live in the closest place to the remote and forested from humans.

After speaking, the old man slowly stood up.

This was where she used to live. ”

No wonder.

Wang Chu looked around, these unusual wooden furniture, carved supplies, a human hunter couldn't do it at all.

It turned out to be made by elves.

"Well, why did she leave in the end. ”

Although the old man never said it, anyone with a discerning eye could see it.

Elves don't die before anyone else, and she's not here now.

"Because she said she was going back and seeing!"

The old man just looked out the window and didn't continue.

Anwenna wanted to ask, but was stopped by Lias...... Shake your head.

The two drank a few more bowls of soup and ate some dried fruits.

Because it wasn't dark, she would rest as long as she was tired, and Lias didn't choose to leave immediately when the wind suddenly hung outside, but rested in the house for the night.

Just enough to sleep on the carpet.

Probably tired in the past few days, Anwenna, who had not slept all this time, also lay down.

Elves don't need a blanket to sleep, but when Avenna wakes up the next day.

There is still an extra layer of quilt on the body.
