Countless pieces of rubble fell from the air, making a dense white splash in the rushing river. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In less than 5 seconds, I was already feeling dizzy.

The levitation spell shouldn't be such a difficult spell to use......

Manipulating the levitation charm, I floated myself up and landed on an undamaged suspension bridge.

Whew - I lay on the ground gasping for air.

While being attacked by assassins was one reason, it was more due to the running out of mana.

Poof-

There was a golden light in front of me, and Linda emerged from front of me.

"Kid, are you hurt?"

"I didn't ...... Ok......"

Sister Linda touched the top of my head as if to comfort me.

"Normally, these Seganger elves don't go deep into Red Cliff City......"

It seems that Linda seems to have some clue about the origin of this assassin.

"After all, their city is in the southeast of the Dawn Mountains, and to get to the Red Cliff City in the north, you need to go through the entire Dawn Mountains."

Linda put away her tomahawk, squinted her eyes, and deduced the ins and outs of the matter to herself.

"But it's good that you're not hurt"

My eldest sister helped me up, checked and found that I was fine.

"But the magic just now was so beautiful, I almost thought it was my sister'......"

"Sister......

Linda looked at me, and when she said this, this gentle-looking big sister suddenly became stunned.

It seems that something terrible has come to mind.

Her frightened eyes made me feel goosebumps all over my body.

"Scorched Earth Elf!?"

Linda asked in shock.

Yes?

Seems to be talking about the spell I just used.

'Scorched Earth Elf's Spiked Flame Shield'.

A very, very powerful spell.

Just by putting this one spell and spreading it no more than 10 meters, it ate almost all of my magic.

Is there anything other than lamenting the consumption and power of this magic?

Puff Bake -

A stream of flames came out not far above us.

Ellie's Shadow of Fire.

A little guy with long blue hair appeared on the suspension bridge not far above us, a few meters away from Linda and me.

Ellie must be worried, too.

If she hadn't heard the crisis in my heart, and then used the soul link to teach me to use these two spells.

I'm probably lying down by now.

If I had fought that Assassin head-on, I probably wouldn't have been killed so easily.

But after all, the other side has an ambush advantage, which is really dangerous for me.

"Sister......

Linda stared at Ellie and said in a trembling voice.

Strangely, Elle jumped to us with the Shadow of Flames, but didn't say a word.

The little guy's face was solemn, as if some secret had been revealed.

Even...... Her expression was like that of an elementary school student who had been found by her mother to score 59 points in the exam paper.

"Sister, you...... Rituals?and imps?"

Linda asked her sister, the melancholy Ellie, in a tone of disbelief.

Rite?

What ritual?

Is this important?

More important than making sure there are more Assassins?

Ellie's eyes darkened, and her usual aggressive momentum was completely gone.

The little one nodded slightly.

"Woo-ha-"

Linda let out a cry of giving up resistance, and her legs went limp, and she sat on the ground.

The big sister propped her hands on the ground, her head hung low, and her long silver-white hair fell to the ground.

A few tears fell in front of her.

And so on and so forth......

What's going on?

The unfolding in front of me has left me completely at a loss......

Elle jumped down from the high suspension bridge and landed gently in front of Linda like a leaf.

Then the little one got down on his knees and hugged his sister.

Hold this sister, who is a lot taller than her even if she sits on the ground.

Ellie's expression was sad, but it didn't seem to be sad enough to make her cry.

Seemingly, she just felt guilty for making Linda cry.

Ellie's head rests against Linda's chest, and Linda's tears can be seen falling on Ellie's long blue hair.

As if falling on a delicate velvet square scarf, tears slid down and fell to the ground.

There was a sad color between the two elves.

After a few moments, Elle picked up and looked around, as if to check for other elves.

Then he picked up Linda, took Linda's hand, and walked up the suspension bridge.

Faced with such a situation, I couldn't interject at all, so I could only obediently follow the two of them.

Slowly, Linda seemed to calm down a little, and as she walked, she raised her other hand to wipe the tears from her face.

Before we knew it, we were back in Ellie's room.

"Brother, eat"

As soon as he entered the door, Liu Xiao said.

She sat at a round table on the first floor, with stacks of books on the table.

Oh, by the way, I was going to get food.

At this time, Linda seemed to remember something, and took out a small fruit from the pocket of her uniform.

Walked over and put it in front of Liu Xiao.

"Thank you, Sister Linda"

Liu Xiao didn't raise her head, still immersed in her book.

Suddenly, Liu Xiao raised his head and looked at Linda in surprise.

"What's wrong with my sister?"

Linda shook her head and sat next to Liu Xiao.

"Brother, what did you do?"

It was Liu Xiao, who sensed the abnormality just from the atmosphere and questioned me directly.

"Actually, I also want to know what I did"

I looked back at Ellie, who was standing behind me without saying a word.

Hiding behind me like a little girl who was afraid of being scolded by her mother.

"Little ghost, don't you know that ritual?"

Linda finally asked me.

But......

"What ritual?"

I'm still confused.

"Uh......"

Linda thought about it for a moment and put it another way.

"Kiss?"

Uh-huh? What?

"Kiss?"

I didn't understand, so I asked casually.

Then I felt Ellie reach for the hem of my dress.

"Have you kissed Ellie?"

"No, how can this be...... ...... thing"

Yes!

It seems that there is such a thing.

In the original elf game, Elle took me to the center of the game.

There was a thick fog around me, and the owner of the game wanted to sneak up on me while I couldn't see anything.

Elle kissed me and taught me how to use the Light Charm.

Thus saving my life.

"Kiss...... Kissed"

Liu Xiao covered his mouth with his hands in surprise, and his usually half-open eyes were completely wide.

However, unlike Linda's stunned eyes, Liu Xiao was more out of gossip.

Linda's eyes, by contrast, drooped, as if confirming some bad news.

Could it be ...... What did I do badly?

Judging from Linda's series of reactions just now, I can only draw this one conclusion.

"Why did you kiss her?"

Linda's tone was a little agitated.

"It's me, in the elf game at the time, if I don't do this, I won't have time to teach the little ghost to use magic, he'll die"

Ellie ducked behind me and whispered in a tone that looked like she was admitting her mistake.

"That's ...... so"

Linda's tone was not as excited as just now, but it seemed quite helpless and regretful.

"I ...... Did you do something terrible?"

Linda's eyes didn't have that sad color, but they were still full of apprehension.

"Don't you know?"

I shook my head.

I could feel Ellie's hand clenching a little tighter.

The little one is shaking.

So I turned around and picked up the little one.

Ellie hid in my arms, buried her head in my shoulder, and clutched my neckline, afraid to look at Linda.

"That's a very important ritual for us elves."

"Very important...... Ritual?"

Speaking of this, Liu Xiao suddenly picked up a book, and under the floating spell, the pages of the book were automatically opened.

Liu Xiao pointed to it and said.

"For the elves, the kiss is a ritual of sharing the soul, just like our human marriage"

Ahh

What's what?

Slowly, slowly.

Wait, wait, wait?

Huh?

I'm completely confused.

Holding Ellie's hands, he also began to tremble like Ellie......
