"You win, human. Alice showed a beautiful face and said calmly: "Don't look at me with such vigilant eyes anymore, even if we are a race, the heart is also in the chest, and now it has been shattered by the hunter behind me, I have also lost my mastery of ability, look around, everything is returning to its original appearance." ”

Hodge thought for a moment, "That's it, don't you try to struggle before you die?" he gestured with his hand, "I thought you would fight back before you died, like roaring at me, like hoarsely slamming my neck, like using your abilities to trap me in the spirit world, to be honest, now that my left hand has touched my boot, there is a knife hidden there, which is used to fight back against your dying struggle, but now it doesn't seem to be needed." ”

"Growl, bite, do you think our people are vampires or banshees? Alice frowned and looked higher up at the sky.

"Besides, it is not our own will to return to this world. Alice's face was full of disgust, "This world is not the same as before, everywhere you go you can smell the stench emitted by you humans, and it gives me relief to be able to return to the place of origin as soon as possible." ”

"Not of your own volition?" Hodge asked, grasping the most interesting point of her words, "what does that mean." ”

"I'm running out of time. ”

Alice didn't answer Hodge's question directly, her body was changing, starting on her toes, every inch of skin shattering along her bones and turning into flying grit, all the way to her calves, thighs, and waist.

Half of her body was gone, and at this rate, the upper half of her body would soon be reduced to gravel and disappear into thin air.

She leaned her head forward slightly, leaned into the side of Hodge's face, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I can't tell you too much because of some kind of restraint. But I can tell you that I wasn't sent here for the twelve people I was sent to, nor for the eleven people who are here now besides you. ”

"My goal and mission is always to be close to you. That's everything I can tell you. ”

Hodge felt a cold touch on his cheeks, only to realize that Alice had quietly kissed the side of his cheek.

"It's a reward for being able to get out of my grip. ”

The smile bloomed on the corner of her mouth again, and the delicate smile even made Hodge's heart flutter for a moment.

"Goodbye. She whispered.

Then the whole head turned into dust and sand, fluttering in the air, and drifting away with the wind.

"Whew-whew. Thick gasps came and went.

After Alice disappeared completely, Lloyd and Marjery finally reacted, holding on to the trunk of the tree next to them, sweating profusely.

Parker and the others, who restrained Hodge, lost their strength in the blink of an eye and fell straight into the snow, motionless.

"That's!" Oliver exclaimed, looking up.

The row of camphors disappeared, and turned into twelve men in armor, their eyes closed, their lips purple and their hands were tied and they were sitting on the ground, six of them were bound alone, and the remaining six were leaning on their backs.

What's even more striking is that the lower bodies of these twelve people are gone, and the thing that is unique to men no longer looks majestic, and I don't know how long it has been frozen in the wind and snow, and it is almost thinner than the little finger.

Lloyd stumbled over with Margery in his arms, looked at the twelve soldiers who were supposed to be the ones who should have met them, and then at the eight members who had fallen, took a breath and asked, "What's wrong with them?"

Hodge crouched down and looked at them one by one: "It's not a big problem, it's not life-threatening." The reason for the coma is simple, their body is in a state of severe sperm loss. ”

"Losing sperm?"

Hodge had all the information about Alice after she disappeared, and naturally knew her true identity.

"Alice, she's not human, she's a dream demon. "A race of the lower elves who can weave dreams, bewitch all living beings that enter them, and suck their essence to strengthen their power. ”

"Take a closer look around, there are no villages slaughtered by monsters at all, all of them are dreams she weaves, I remember when we first saw the village, we thought something was wrong, why didn't we notice anything abnormal after that? Because the logic of people in dreams is in a state of loss, and even if an incredible event occurs without a profound reminder, it will be accepted by the human brain. ”

"Do you remember the gardenia nectar floating in the village but with a sweet smell? It is not the fragrance of flowers, but the smell of **, belonging to the twelve people who should have received us, they should have inadvertently stepped into this dream, and were bewitched by the dream demon and sucked the essence dry, and the dream demon also waited for us to step into a more powerful dream by laying a more powerful dream. ”

"Suck?" Lloyd said.

Hodge replied without hesitation: "It's just the face value." ”

"A bunch of brutes who can't control the lower half of their bodies. Lloyd stomped his foot in disgriet.

Hodge shook his head: "Don't blame them, in the dream realm of the dream demon, she is the most powerful existence, and the bewitching power she casts is far more violent than the most powerful aphrodisiac, if I hadn't discovered the abnormality and woke up, you, me, and everyone would have been squeezed dry." ”

"Since this row of camphor is a transformation of soldiers, if we really cut them down......" Majery plushed.

Hodge nodded: "I'm afraid these twelve people will really die." ”

"What a bad idea. Even though the crisis had been resolved, Oliver still felt a chill hit his back at the thought of Alice's intentions.

"Elf ......," Lloyd asked, "you just said she was a type of elf?"

"Yes. ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Lloyd's face became more and more puzzled, perhaps Marjery and Oliver did not understand what this meant, but he was the son of a large family, and even though he had abandoned his studies since he was a martial artist, he could still jot down bits and pieces from the nagging lectures of the bachelors.

The fairy section is one of those bits and pieces, after all, this obviously fantastical description is more appealing to a child's attention than the boring family history.

"Elves, weren't they extinct in the last era, how could they be here?"

Since the birth of the world, the first race to give birth to wisdom and rule the world is the Elder Dragons, whose rule lasted for thousands of years until the cataclysm, a genocide with a terrifying power similar to that of a god, and mankind named this period the First Age.

Immediately after, the races that survived the catastrophe continued to multiply, and wisdom no longer belonged to a single species, but wisdom also distinguished between high and low, and the goblins with wisdom far beyond other races became the masters of the earth, they were the darlings of the world, and they also gained great power by wisdom.

Thousands of years have passed, but the goblins have completely disappeared from the world in an instant, and according to the records, there has been no disaster similar to the destruction of ancient dragons, but the goblins have never appeared in any corner of the world again.

Therefore, in order to distinguish between the Great Tribulation and the disappearance of the elves, historians still name the period from the Great Tribulation to the disappearance of the goblins as the Second Age.

In the Third Age, the ruler of the world became human.

Nearly 10,000 years have passed, and the goblins that should have disappeared have reappeared in the field of vision of mankind.

Why is that?

"I don't know. ”

Hodge thought about the words Alice had said before she disappeared, including the phrase "It wasn't her intention to return to this world", which meant that it was possible that some person or other creature had forcibly summoned the dominant race of the Second Age back into the world?

If...... Summoning goblins and urging animals to mutate are the same thing.

That's too bad.
