After a short stay, Ryan and his party bid farewell to Aragorn and the others, and embarked on a journey to Mochizuki City again, but this time there was one more person in their group, and that was the female elf Shaina.

Aragorn's explanation for Shaina's participation is: "Shaina herself came out to gain experience, and you seem to be the kind of powerful adventurer team, and now she can travel with you, which can be regarded as a shortcut." After all, we elves generally don't enter the area where humans gather, and Shaina's human sophistication is really bad, if you are willing to take her to experience some more things, there must be no misunderstandings like before, this can be regarded as Ryan's compensation for her. ”

Of course, Ryan strongly opposed Shaina's joining, because he didn't know how to face Shaina's eyes, but Faras accepted her with a smile, and under the threat of Faraz or covert, Flanner and the others obediently chose the camp, and finally the entire Ryan mercenary group joined Shayna with a huge advantage of five votes to one.

Ryan was very helpless, he didn't understand why Farath would gladly accept this new teammate, but since the team members did not object, although he was the head of the group, he had to accept this fact, but under Ryan's strong request, Shaina accepted three conditions: not to talk to outsiders, all actions must follow Ryan's orders, and wait for Ryan and them to finish their journey to Moon City and send Shaina back to Moyue City.

Shaina accepted these very harsh demands with a blank face, and in order to hide her identity, she changed into a gray cloak to hide her unearthly countenance, and never said a word during her daily march, even if she drank water and ate, and did not let her face be exposed outside the wide cloak.

Shaina's actions made Ryan absolutely himself a little too harsh on her, in fact, in Ryan's heart, he was still very guilty of pinching Shaina's ears, since Shaina's joining the team was irrevocable, Ryan secretly decided to help her as much as possible, so Ryan asked Farath to take good care of Shayna along the way, explaining to her various taboos and customs in the human world.

In a few days of contact, Faras found that this female elf was simply a blank slate, her strength was very strong, especially archery, she could easily defeat Colin and Thomas, but Shayna was completely incapable of dealing with people, what are the important cities on the continent, and the main properties of each place...... These are things that even a human child of a few years old knows, but Shaina doesn't know at all.

In her opinion, the female elf Shayna is simply a gem that has not been carved, and her innocence and kindness are almost extinct in the face of the materialism of the human world, but then again, in this regard, Shayna and Ryan are very similar, Farath still clearly remembers the situation when she first met Ryan, and Ryan at that time was so simple, even after experiencing so many things, Ryan still maintained his simplicity, and was not corrupted by power and wealth at all。

Along the way, Ryan also benefited a lot, when Alondo tore off a fragment of a cloak from Shaina's body, although Ryan knew that it was a very old and exquisite craft, but the pieces were too small to imitate, and now that Shaina herself was there, Ryan borrowed a piece of clothing with this craft from her to study carefully.

I have to say that the craftsmanship of the elves is exquisite, the magic array on Shaina's ordinary clothes makes Ryan look enthusiastic, and he can't wait to imitate one immediately, every day when camping, Ryan will take out the clothes and sit by the bonfire to watch fascinated, carefully experience the decorations on the clothes, and figure out the role of these magic arrays with his heart.

Shaina is naturally dismissive of Ryan's behavior, she is a noble elf, and the elf's talent for magic is simply innate, so there is a saying that the elf family is the darling of the gods, every elf knows some magic more or less, even if they are not magicians, they can still make some magic items by themselves, the most common is to add beautiful ornaments to their clothes and weapons, and these ornaments are all composed of magic arrays.

The elven costume and weapons have become more artistic with the addition of ornamentation, and at the same time, they have become more powerful due to the blessing of a large number of magic arrays, these skills have been passed down by the elves for thousands of years, which has also become an instinct of the elves, and the young human magician wants to imitate it in just a few months, which is really a classic joke, like a fish saying it can't swim and a bird saying it can't fly.

Ryan didn't care about the contemptuous eyes of Shaina looking at him, for him, it doesn't matter if he can imitate it, the most important thing is to learn this craft, as long as he can master this skill, then he can slowly integrate it in the future for a period of time, this time may be a few months, or it may be a few years or more than ten years, time is not important, as a magician, learning this skill is the thing that excites Ryan the most.

I don't know if it's because of the illusion or if it's real, Ryan's nose can always smell a faint fragrance, and when Ryan realizes this, he remembers that what he looks through every day is a female elf's costume. Ryan remembered that he had asked Shaina for the dress in the first place, he didn't expect such an embarrassing situation, Ryan had the heart to explain, but he felt that it was too leaky to do so, so Ryan had to pretend that nothing had happened, and focus on the study of the magic array.

After getting used to the unique body fragrance of female elves, Ryan always had a strange feeling in his heart when he saw Shaina again, but what kind of feeling it was, Ryan himself didn't know. However, because this feeling makes Ryan very uncomfortable, he is always cold when talking to Shaina.

"Shaina, what is the reason why you left Demon Moon City under the leadership of Aragorn this time?" Ryan sat by the campfire, eating grilled fish and asked casually, "Even if it is a trial of the rite of passage, you don't have to leave so far, right?" not to mention that it is just an ordinary journey, if you really want to add a little experience, you will not leave Demon Moon City and run to another inaccessible place. ”

Shaina's body was obviously stiff, because Ryan asked the most critical question about it, she hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to say that thing, because Shaina knew that she had just joined this team and did not have the trust of her teammates, especially the head of the group, Magician Ryan, who was wary of himself because of some previous misunderstandings, if she was not frank enough, then others would naturally have reservations about herself, and in that case, how could Shaina understand Ryan's strength and find out the weakness of this magician？

"If it's inconvenient, then it doesn't have to be said. Ryan had already finished eating the grilled fish in his hand, and seeing that Shaina was still hesitating, he said nonchalantly: "I'm just asking." ”

"No, please don't, I won't hide anything from my companions. Shaina hurriedly said, "It's just that this incident is a shame for us elves, so I don't know where to start." ”

"Then there is no need to say it. Ryan shook his head gently, he stretched his waist for a long time, and took out Shaina's clothes from his arms, ready to study the serial magic arrays that he hadn't finished watching last night, but Shayna hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop in front of Ryan, and said a little anxiously: "Maybe you still need your help with this matter, I'll tell you." ”

"Shani, don't worry, come and sit next to me and speak slowly. Faras grinned and stood up, pulled Shaina to her side, and then sat down with her by the campfire, and when the two of them were seated, Faras pointed at Ryan and said, "You are not allowed to see that magic circle tonight, you haven't talked to me for a few days, you must accompany me to listen to Shani tell stories today." ”

Ryan obediently put away the costume, and this also made Shaina's heart very grateful to Farah, because in the past few days, as long as Ryan delved into the magic array, he was basically completely addicted to it, even if you yelled in front of him, he didn't listen.

To this end, Shaina stammered to Faras, "Faras, thank you. ”

"Well, what did I tell you last time? Why do you still call me Faraz?"

"Oh yes, I remember you saying that humans call intimate women differently, and I should call you Fani. ”

"By the way, you can call me Fani from now on. Faras smiled and patted Shaina's hand as a sign of encouragement, and then said to Ryan, "Shayna is my good sister, you don't think you should be cruel to her." It's okay to forget the past, but you have to be kind to her in the future, you know?"

Ryan rubbed his nose and didn't speak, acquiescing to Faraz's statement.

"Alright, all sit down," Faras shouted to the others, then said to Shaina, "Tell me, I can't wait." ”

Shaina smiled, and suddenly it was like a hundred flowers blooming in spring, which made people's hearts feel peaceful, she cleared her throat and whispered: "I think you all know that 200 years ago, humans, elves and dwarves formed an alliance to resist the attack of the undead legion, and the military commander of our elven clan was the moonlight sacrifice at that time, Sophia - Moon Shadow. ”
