Chapter Twenty-Five: The Abandoned Half-Blood Elves
In the dense jungle, a team of horse-drawn carriages and several elven hunters was slowly advancing.
The carriage was "creaking", and the elves did not have the habit of spending energy to clean the road, so the road from the Night Tribe to Antola was not smooth, and Yi Fan, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but feel some bumps.
These elves, even if they have an almost eternal life, are still accustomed to the life of the past, and they don't have the slightest intention of changing Looking at the young elf with a fixed expression outside the carriage, Yi Fan couldn't help but sigh, in his hand, at this time
Holding a heavy bag of gold coins.
Yi Fan was now on his way to Antola, the town where Aethra spoke of human presence.
Last night, after personally confirming that Yi Fan had "recovered" to the level of a high-level magician, Simon and Connor finally decided to end the protection of Yi Fan for more than ten days, which was almost like imprisonment.
Gently shaking the money bag in his hand, Yi Fan's face showed a thoughtful expression, the money he asked for from Simon.
After regaining his freedom, Yi Fan told Simon very seriously that he had lost a huge amount of magic power in the process of coming, and now he had to use the help of some foreign objects to improve his strength. Then, the latter readily offered enough to buy high-end equipment
Gold coins, without a hint of hesitation!
That man, there were so many things on his mind, it was hard to understand! And so did everyone else!
On the night he came out of that room, because of Simon's suggestion, Yi Fan had to go to a high-level gathering of the Night Tribe. In that party, in addition to Simon and Connor, Yi Fan also saw many figures that he had not seen before, among those people
, not counting Raphael, who had a one-sided relationship, there were two other people who left a deep impression on him.
A young elf who had been staring at him with hostile eyes, and an old man who looked like a bad guy from the outside! These two people, even if they met for the first time, Yi Fan could feel that they had thoughts that were unfavorable to themselves in their hearts.
But why? Yi Fan was puzzled, he already knew later that the young elf was the one who killed his fellow rabid dogs, but he still couldn't understand why he had just come to this world and became a jealous existence of others.
Despite the countless doubts in his heart, when he turned his face back into the carriage, Yi Fan still had a faint smile on his face, the reason was very simple, just opposite him, there were two silent beautiful girls sitting at this time.
Acera still stubbornly followed Yi Fan out, even though the white-bearded old man named Connor stomped his staff angrily, even though her father pointed at Yi Fan and quietly glared at her. This time it wasn't because she thought of the one she had longed for
The real reason for the town, only the girl herself knows.
Today is the fifteenth day that Aethra and Yi Fan have known each other, but because the last attack by the rabid dogs came too suddenly, and then Yi Fan was immediately locked up in the room with the statue of the goddess by Connor, half forced and half protected, so in fact, except for giving it every day
The short time when Yi Fan delivered the meal, the time that the girl and Yi Fan really stayed together, it was only two days.
Therefore, the girl cherishes and values the time she can spend with Yi Fan. But......
Aethra couldn't help but look quietly around her.
At Ethra's side sat Saber, the legendary king of knights in Britain, who became the supreme king of the Immortals, or rather, a shy maiden.
More than ten days of getting along day and night seemed to have made some wonderful changes in the relationship between Yi Fan and Saber, they are now neither a subordinate relationship between the summoner and the servant, nor a master-servant relationship between the king and the followers, but a kind of relationship that is both like friends and seems to be more than friends
A more intimate relationship.
Saber had been staring at the ground all the time, but perhaps because it was the first time she had been in such a confined space with someone of the opposite sex, there was a hint of nervousness and shyness on her beautiful face.
Although he has always existed in an almost spirit-like form, Saber's body still has the same faint girlish fragrance as Ethella, this fragrance makes Yi Fan feel very comfortable, if it weren't for the bumps of the carriage, he might even be immersed in that fragrance.
After sitting for a while, Yi Fan really felt uncomfortable, so he leaned back on the carriage, and his legs were slightly bent, this posture made him feel a little more comfortable, and he could also avoid the girl on the opposite side from looking at him quietly from time to time
Coming over gaze.
Although he likes it in his heart, but, like countless ordinary otaku, when he is really about to face it, he still subconsciously chooses to escape, or to put it more accurately - procrastination.
"Ethera, please tell the Divine Envoy that we are about to reach Antola. After the carriage drove for an hour, a familiar voice came from outside, it was Wendina, who had fought side by side with Yi Fan before.
In the battle more than ten days ago, Hill was seriously injured like Yi Fan, but because her injuries were more physical, she had recovered five days ago by recovering her magic, and now she has returned to the Moon Well with Maya to garrison.
Wendina, on the other hand, happened to stay in the tribe because of some other things, and after hearing that Yi Fan and they were going to Antora to buy things, she took the initiative to take on the task of guarding.
"Is it already there?" As Acera was about to open his mouth to remind, Yi Fan asked outside, he wasn't really asleep.
"Well, we're on the outside of Antola now!" Wendina's voice came from outside, as gentle as ever.
Hearing Wendina's words, Yi Fan lifted the curtain of the car, and a gust of cold wind poured in from outside, making him shiver coldly.
"Is it almost winter?" Yi Fan couldn't help but sigh, it was already the beginning of September, the last month of autumn, but the cold seemed to have come a little earlier.
In Yi Fan's original world, September actually has another meaning, it is the day when those of them who stay at home have to go out of the house again and go to school.
"Yes, it's almost winter, and I don't know why this year, it's getting colder and colder!" said Ethella as she wrapped her clothes tightly and trembled slightly, and beside her, Saber also subconsciously raised her head because of the cold wind blowing in from outside the car.
It seemed to be drizzling grayly outside, but the few huntress who were guarding Yi Fan and them had no idea on their faces, and Wendina had already removed her helmet, revealing her beautiful face with emerald green hair.
"Is it winter? Speaking of the moonlit night festival once every fifty years, it seems that it is also this winter!" Hearing Yi Fan's words, Wendina couldn't help but say softly.
At this time, Yi Fan and the others had already arrived near Antola, and the huge statue they had seen from a distance last time had actually passed under it a few minutes ago. Probably because it is inhabited by humans, the road is more jungle than at the beginning
It is much better, and there is even a smooth road paved with regular bluestone.
Maybe it's outside the town, or maybe it's raining, so there aren't many people on the road, just a dozen homeless people, wandering back and forth on the road, looking for a target they can beg for.
It seems that no matter which world, which country, or even any race, there will be such people, but I don't know, is there an organization called the Beggar Gang in this world? I saw a few homeless people surrounding a gorgeously dressed person, "dead skin"
refused to leave, Yi Fan couldn't help but sigh.
The wanderers, though dressed in rough linen, were clearly able-bodied, and if they really wanted to live, they didn't really find a way to survive.
"Those elf ......" Seeing that a few wanderers seemed to regard themselves as targets and began to rush towards him, Yi Fan finally couldn't help but speak.
"They are not elves, they are just the lowliest half-bloods, no, they are the shame of elves!" Hearing Yi Fan's words, an elf who was in charge of escorting next to him suddenly said loudly.
As if hearing the words of this elf, several wanderers who rushed over from afar invariably stopped their steps, and then turned around and walked in the opposite direction, at this time Yi Fan noticed that there was one of those who were pestered by the wanderer
Common features:
They don't have pointed ears, in other words, the objects they are begging for are all human!
"Half-bloods?" Yi Fan asked as he returned to the carriage and turned to Aethra beside him, vaguely feeling that those wanderers might not be simple beggars.
"It's the offspring of elves and other races. Aethra obviously didn't want to talk about it, so she replied simply.
......Seeing the complicated expression on Ethera's face, Yi Fan closed his mouth in amusement, and then looked at Saber inquiringly, and after the latter shook his head, he suddenly reacted, Saber did not belong to this world like himself, so how could it
can know these things.
"Elves themselves are not allowed to marry other races. At this moment, Aethra, who was originally silent, suddenly continued to speak: "However, because of the noble blood of the elves, there are often people of other races who secretly arrest the elves.
Then sell them to other ...... who want to get the elves."
Speaking of the latter, Ethera's face already showed an expression of anger, irrepressible anger, and pity for those who had suffered miserably.
"My father didn't allow me to come here because he was worried about these problems, and he didn't want me to know about the existence of half-blood elves. Tears began to glisten in Ethra's eyes, "The offspring of elves and other races, though
They can inherit part of the Elven bloodline and have handsome looks, but they cannot inherit the Elves' talents in magic and bows, so they eventually become the outcasts. ”
Aethera's appearance made Yi Fan feel distressed, and similarly, it also made him feel the anger in the girl's heart.
"This is an unforgivable sin!" Yi Fan clenched his fists, he could neither forgive other races for quietly selling elves as goods, nor could he forgive them, they were a certain type of people who existed in tragedy, because of the contempt of others, they became even more tragic victims!
"Isn't it always curious that I, as an elven oracle, have the same ears as a human?" Yi Fan put his hands on the girl's shoulders and made the latter look straight into his eyes, "The reason is simple, because ah, I'm also half-blooded
Species, a hybrid of humans and elves!"
Looking at the undoubted expression on Yi Fan's face, whether it was Athera, Saber, and the two girls in the carriage, they couldn't help but show shocked faces......
