Chapter 13: The House of the Elves
Xia Fan's disguise was not perfect.
Although his appearance and temperament are exactly the same as the portrait of her father in Evelyn's memory.
The problem was that Evelyn had never met her father.
Her understanding of her father came entirely from her mother's story.
Charfan searched Evelyn's memories.
So his disguise is based on Evelyn's father.
Although there is no clue from the outside.
But once he came into contact with Evelyn's mother, or someone who knew her father well, it was easy for him to expose his flaws.
After all, a fake is a fake.
Xia Fan didn't have any worries about this.
Because he had already discussed with Evelyn, when he returned to Evelyn's clan, he would go directly to Evelyn's mother as soon as possible, and then completely complete his disguise by searching Evelyn's mother's memories.
"Beyond the mountain ahead is your tribe, right?"
In a vast and lush forest.
Xia Fan, who was wearing a wide cloak to cover most of his face, looked up at the mountains in the distance, and then looked at Evelyn, who was in a trance beside him.
"Oh, yes!"
Evelyn reacted a beat slower when she heard this, and after coming back to her senses, she quickly nodded.
"After crossing that mountain, our tribe will be ......"
It's been a long time since I've been away from home.
But Evelyn will never forget what her hometown looks like.
She was distracted just now, not because she was homesick.
But from the moment she left the manor, she frightened Xia Fan.
The so-called hearing is false, seeing is believing.
Evelyn knew that Xia Fan's strength was very strong, and even equated the other party with demigods and gods in her heart.
But in the end, she still shocked Xia Fan's terrifying strength.
She didn't think about it at all.
The other party would use spatial movement to take them on their way, and there was no pause in the process.
Although spatial movement is a very clever spell, anyone who is proficient in spatial spells can learn it after reaching a certain level.
The point is.
Even the Grand Magus takes time to prepare for spatial movement, and the more people who carry the spatial movement at the same time, the greater the consumption.
Normally.
If the Archmage moves in space alone.
With the magic power in the Great Magister's body, it can only be cast three times at most, and the mana will be exhausted after long-distance spatial movement.
As for the words of the demigods.
The number of spatial movements cast is definitely stronger than that of the Archmagus.
But demigods also have limits.
After all, spell casting is all about expending.
It's just that the demigod's staying power lasts a little longer than the archmage.
Only true gods can ignore this attrition.
To paraphrase the terminology of the game.
The god's blue return speed is greater than the blue cost.
Especially in their own kingdom of God, the gods will not lack blue at all, and any powerful spell with big blue consumption can be thrown away without money, and it is an arrogance.
However, Xia Fan showed the same strength as the gods.
This undoubtedly made Evelyn feel deeply shocked.
Really.
The other side doesn't seem to be lying.
He may indeed have the power to rival the gods.
The more so.
Evelyn's curiosity about Charvan grew.
Who is he? Or what kind of god is he?
"Are we going to teleport directly to your clan's headquarters or to the outskirts?"
Xia Fan asked again seemingly casually.
After deciding on the place.
He immediately unleashed his sentient sense and detected it in all directions.
Not for a moment.
He locked down Evelyn's tribal quarters.
“...... Your Excellency, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is better for us to appear on the periphery of the tribe. ”
Evelyn muttered for a moment.
"No problem. ”
Hearing this, Xia Fan agreed very simply, raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
The next moment.
Evelyn only felt her eyes flicker.
The surroundings have changed.
Although she had experienced the spatial movement of Xia Fan countless times, she still couldn't help but marvel in her heart every time.
It's really too strong.
Yes.
That's right.
Now they have teleported to the outskirts of the clan.
Evelyn could not have mistaken the tribal home where she was born and raised.
"Who?"
For the rest of the road.
Xia Fan no longer casts spatial movement.
Instead, he followed Evelyn through the dense woods.
What was strange was that there was a carriage that followed the two of them from beginning to end, and the carriage was as fast as they were, and even avoided all obstacles in the road as if consciously.
No doubt.
This carriage was operated by Xia Fan.
Lina and the others stayed in the carriage obediently.
Without Xia Fan's permission.
None of them were allowed to leave the carriage.
I don't know how long it took.
Suddenly, there was a loud shout in the woods.
Evelyn subconsciously stopped.
Immediately after that, looming figures appeared in the surrounding woods, and the atmosphere instantly became solidified.
“...... Uncle Crow?"
Maybe it's because I feel that this loud cheer has some familiar relationship.
Evelyn asked tentatively.
“...... Evelyn?!"
There was a moment of silence on the other side, and the voices that came again were full of disbelief.
Immediately after, a figure flew out of the forest in front of him.
Take a closer look.
I saw a slender and handsome middle-aged elf holding a longbow in his hand, looking at Evelyn in front of him with a blank look.
"Uncle Crow!
See who is coming.
Evelyn immediately excitedly took off the hood on her head and rushed towards the other party with some excitement.
"Evelyn! It's really you! You're finally back!"
The middle-aged elf named Crow withdrew his longbow, opened his hands and hugged Evelyn who threw herself into his arms, and his face suddenly showed a kind and loving look.
"You've suffered a lot over the years, haven't you?"
After the hug.
Crow couldn't help but look closely, and Evelyn was concerned.
"Uncle Crowe......"
When the two were catching up.
Xia Fan remained silent all the time, and at the same time lowered his head and covered most of his face with a hood.
Crow?
Based on his memories from Evelyn's search.
The other party is the head of the guard of the Evelyn clan, who is responsible for protecting the patriarchs and elders.
It can be said that Evelyn was raised by Crow since she was a child.
The most important thing is that Crowe and Evelyn's father know each other!
Interestingly, the relationship between the two is very bad.
Because.
Evelyn's father used to be a rival to Crowney.
Competition for what?
Evelyn's mother, of course!
As a result, Evelyn's father had the last laugh, and you can imagine how much hatred Crow has for Evelyn's father!
That being said.
However, Crow has always taken good care of Evelyn and Evelyn's mother, and does not transfer his hatred for Evelyn's father to them.
After getting to know Crow.
Xia Fan had strange thoughts in his heart.
Does this guy want to take advantage of the situation to be the king next door or a pick-up man?
After all, Evelyn's father had left the clan for all these years and never returned. I love to read
If Crow is a qualified yellow hair, he will definitely not let go of this NTR opportunity.
What if Evelyn's mother was the patriarch?
Isn't that more exciting?
Then again.
Crow's hair is indeed blonde.
As the saying goes, the people who know you best are often your enemies.
See Crow now.
Xia Fan was not prepared to have any contact with the other party for the time being, lest the other party detect the clues.
“...... Uncle Crow, haven't you always been in charge of guarding the clan, and why are you here?"
The other side.
Evelyn, who was almost the same, looked puzzled.
"Alas, it's a long story, you'll find out when you get back......"
Crowe shook his head when he heard this, and instead shifted the topic to a mysterious man in a black robe and hood not far away.
In fact, he has been paying attention to the other party for a long time.
When catching up with Evelyn.
He had been secretly observing each other without a trace.
However, there was a suspicion that there was a spell under the hood of the other party to isolate detection, so that he couldn't see through the other party's true face through the hood.
"Evelyn, you actually brought a friend with you when you came back this time, don't you want to introduce me?"
“...... Uncle Crow, please forgive Evelyn for not being able to introduce you for the time being, and when I return to the clan, I will explain everything to you when the time is right. ”
Evelyn's heart tightened, but she pretended to be calm on the surface.
"Well, then Uncle also forced you, since you brought the people, I believe they must not be bad people. ”
Crow glanced at Xia Fandao seemingly casually.
"Let's go back now. ”
"Good!"
Subsequently.
Under the leadership of Crowe.
They all made their way to Evelyn's tribal quarters.
It is said to be a station.
It's better to say that this is a city in the forest without walls.
Hidden under the hood, Xia Fan doesn't need to look to feel the unique style of this city.
Unlike a well-planned city by humans.
One word to describe this elven city is nature.
The elves live in wooden houses built of trees, and the wooden houses are often covered with vines and flowers, and the whole city is colorful as far as the eye can see.
Go straight along the wide main road.
From time to time, young elves can be seen chasing each other and playing with each other, or stopping to stop and look at Xia Fan and others who pass by with big curious eyes.
"Miss Evelyn?!"
"Miss Evelyn is back!"
"It's really Miss Evelyn!"
Evelyn's return is something that can't be hidden.
She's lived here for too long.
What's more, as the daughter of the patriarch, most elves are no strangers to her.
Moreover, the elves are not as hierarchical as the human kingdom or other races.
Evelyn remembers that when she was younger, she used to run around the city, and even played games with elven children of the same age, completely different from the princess who was high up in the human aristocracy.
When someone recognizes Evelyn.
Suddenly, the whole city was in a stir.
After all, the elves have been living comfortably for too long, and some things can be spread, not to mention that Evelyn, the daughter of the patriarch who has been away from home for many years, has returned.
Outcome.
Along the way, Evelyn was smiling like a flower and kept greeting people.
Wait until you arrive at your home.
Evelyn felt her face stiffen with a smile.
"Evelyn, Uncle is going back to patrol and guard, and I'll come back to see you later. ”
In front of an ancient giant tree.
Crowe said goodbye to Evelyn.
Before leaving.
He didn't forget to take a deep look at Xia Fan, who was hidden under the hood.
Who is this man?
Why does it feel familiar?
"Mother, I'm back. ”
Evelyn lives in a different place than the other elves.
Because.
The huge tree in front of her was her home.
The inside of the tree, to be exact.
Abbreviated as Tree Hole.
But the tree is too big.
According to Xia Fan's observations, the diameter of this giant tree is more than thirty meters.
The space inside the tree hole is like a small square.
"Welcome home. ”
Shortly after entering the tree hole.
Immediately, a beautiful and dignified elf lady greeted her with a smile.
"Sister Shirley! I miss you so much. ”
Unexpectedly, when she saw someone coming, Evelyn immediately rushed up and hugged each other even more excitedly.
"Okay, okay, Evelyn, you've grown up, why are you still like when you were a child......"
The elf lady named Shirley stroked Evelyn's head in her arms like an elder.
"Are you going to eat something first or go straight to your mother?"
"To see my mother, of course!"
Evelyn let go of her hand and said quickly.
"Let's go, then, but ......"
said.
Shirley's gaze slowly fell on Xia Fan's body.
"Sister Shirley, don't worry, this is the person I brought back......"
Evelyn, who was keenly aware of Shirley's strange appearance, immediately explained.
"A man?"
Shirley suddenly restrained her smile and looked at Xia Fandao calmly.
“...... Yes, but Evelyn assures her sister that he's not a bad person!"
Even if it's a bad guy.
We can't compete with each other.
Evelyn added two sentences inwardly by the way.
“...... Well, you come with me. ”
Shirley's gaze stayed on Xia Fan for a long time.
Finally nodded.
"Let's go. ”
Evelyn heard.
walked directly to Xia Fan's side and whispered.
"The kids will be fine here. ”
said.
Her gaze glanced at the carriage behind Xia Fan that had driven into the hollow of the tree together.
Xia Fan didn't speak, but just nodded slightly to show that he understood.
Immediately under the leadership of Shirley.
They boarded a lift-like thing and went straight up from the bottom of the tree hole.
After climbing an unknown number of meters, it was difficult to stop.
Get out of the lift.
Walk through a labyrinthine tree hole loft.
It didn't take long.
Shirley led the two to a room without a door.
The interior of the room is simply furnished, surrounded by flowers, and the air is fresh and scented.
"Mother!"
The first time.
Evelyn rushed to one of the beds in the room.
Shirley nodded quietly to the two elven maids who were in charge of serving in front of the bed.
The other party silently exited the room.
"Evelyn?!"
on the bed.
Evelyn's mother slowly opened her eyes.
There was a hint of surprise in those confused blue eyes.
"Why are you back?"
"Isn't it true that my mother used the letter eagle to urgently summon me back?"
"What? Is there such a thing?"
