Chapter 46: The Wandering Elves (I)
The sudden change caught Ciri off guard, and before her body could make any movements, her unknown hands pulled her into the portal behind her, the red and yellow changes in her sight made her irritable heart calm down a little, and when the things in front of her changed to a gloomy cold color again, she realized that she was far away from the battlefield.

The red full moon and the firelight of the building did not leave any attention for Ciri, and when she reacted, she immediately shook off the hands on her shoulders, and quickly turned her body with one foot as the axis of rotation, and at the same time, the long sword in her hand also changed space with the rotation of her body, and finally stopped on the neck of the person behind her.
After a brief tug, the scene in front of her became normal again, and the stranger who suddenly broke into the battle finally appeared in her green eyes.
He wore a common black trench coat and tricorne, while a high erect scarf shrouded the entire face below the other's eyes, revealing a pair of pale golden eyebrows, a pair of pale golden eyes, and two small pale gold braids hanging down from the temples.
Although the scarf was blocked, the other party's almost oval-shaped pointed ears did not escape Ciri's eyes.
"Are you ......" Ciri was about to ask if the other party was an elf, but at this time, he found that his neck was held by the staff in the other party's hand.
The staff was not sharp, except for the glass orb at the top, the whole body was made of unknown branches, although it was not as deadly as a blade, but it made her feel very dangerous.
This seemingly ordinary thing seems to burst out at any moment with the power to destroy itself.
"We were able to put down our weapons so we could all have a good conversation. A low, strange male voice came from behind the scarf, and although the voice was strange, what Ciri really cared about was the language the other person spoke.
Isn't this the language of the other world in which I was reborn? Why does the other person speak this language? And who is the other person?
All kinds of questions were haunted in his heart, but Ciri had not yet raised his own questions, and a loud explosion behind him diverted his attention, and the accompanying shockwave blew the boat-shaped hat on Ciri's top into the air.
Ciri turned, and only now did she realize that she could get a bird's-eye view of the battlefield she had just fought, but now the battlefield that had once been a dock had not only been destroyed beyond recognition, but the constant roar of explosions had brought out black and red flames.
Now, the battlefield was overwhelmed with black-red flames, and it was the Colossus who had just engaged her in battle, and the black unknown substance that emerged from it continued to expand and finally crack, spraying more black flames throughout the docks.
I don't know what the black-red flames were, but their power terrified Ciri, who was observing—the huge humanoid warrior was now incinerated into a ball of molten ice cream by the black-red flames, and the entire surface was reduced to a molten liquid, which continued to fall to the ground.
"Can you take the weapon away first?" The voice of the man behind him came again, and Ciri, who reacted, realized that the weapons in the hands of the two were on top of each other's vulnerable parts.
"I'm sorry. Ciri turned around and removed the sword from the other man's neck, the shocking red-black flames just now made her hostile to the man in front of her greatly reduced.
If it weren't for the other party's incursion, he would have been reduced to a mass of charcoal in that terrifying flame.
"Wait......" When both sides moved their weapons away from each other's vital parts, Ciri thought of something important.
"You just asked me to throw the lantern out?" raised her head slightly to look at the pale golden eyes in front of her, and since she had changed into this appearance, her height had decreased sharply, so that she had to look up at these tall people.
"It's me. In a short reply, the eyes did not make eye contact with her, but instead swept over her face, as if to examine the details of her face over and over again.
"Laura, is that you?" a soft male voice suddenly came out, and the inscuffable voice made Ciri think that he seemed to be delusional.
"What?" the gray brow furrowed slowly, the unfamiliar name "Laura" was unheard of, and she didn't know what it represented behind it.
"It's fine. The man who realized his gaffe immediately adjusted his expression, and the other party's misty eyes just now regained their seriousness and became cautious.
The sudden change made her feel that things were not simple, and the name Laura she had just said seemed to be closely related to her.
"Why did you save me?" the man was about to speak, but Ciri asked first.
"Because you're a lot like someone I know, and you're able to help me. In the face of Ciri's question, he replied without thinking, his sincere tone and sincere eyes were proving that what he said was true.
The words "people I know are very similar" made Ciri have a rich imagination, and the girl she met not long ago who looked similar to her current but with an extra scar immediately appeared in her mind.
After a brief recollection, the man next to the girl, also named Ciri, came to her head.
"I remember, we met. Although the first time we met, the other party was always dodging, Ciri immediately recognized who the other person was.
"Are you an elf?" Ciri asked curiously, in the world where she was reborn, maybe elves are not difficult to see, but the appearance of elves in this strange world makes her very curious.
The other's ears were not as sharp and long as they had been seen, which made Ciri doubt his guess, but Sophie's words that "the elves are the public enemy of this world" convinced her guess.
"I am. So......" The man replied without hesitation, and when he was about to say his words, he found that what he was about to say was interrupted by the other party again.
"Why did you save me?" Ciri was very concerned about the life-saving grace, and how to repay the other party's kindness made her very difficult. Now she needs to know what the other party's purpose is.
"Because you can help me......" The man put the staff aside in his hand, and his tone did not show the unhappiness of being interrupted, "Don't interrupt me again, is it okay?"
"Yes. ”
"My name is Avarak, and as you can see, I'm an elf. The scarf that concealed his appearance was removed, and the hat that created a shadow to make his face gloomy was removed, and the other person's face finally appeared in Ciri's eyes.
This is a man who is different from the elves that Ciri knows, the other party does not have the same aesthetic appearance as the elves she has seen, showing a rectangular face, the cheeks are deeply sunken and seem to appear abruptly, the chin is protruding, the bridge of the nose is high, the pale blonde hair is neatly combed back of the head, the wide forehead is exposed to the air, and the pair of oval pointed ears that are different from humans are very eye-catching.
"I'm not an elf from your world, I'm an elf from another world. Avalak explained to Ciri, and she took in the facial expressions of the other party all the time.
"So, I want to know what your name is?" asked Avalak meaningfully, perhaps because of the lack of rigor in his words, adding "I want you to tell the truth." ”
......Faced with this question, Ciri was silent for a moment, and the alternative grass trial had embarrassed her until now.
"This is a very important issue, and I will force you to tell the truth if necessary, and I hope you will not make me do something unpleasant to everyone. The staff that was put aside was picked up, and the translucent orb on the staff slowly appeared, except for the bright light, it looked like a harmless firefly in the night, but the continuous overflowing spiritual fluctuations explained its dangerous nature.
The sudden hostility made Ciri very vigilant, and the long sword in his hand slowly moved to a suitable position to attack to guard against the opponent's attack.
The short but intense struggle of "I ......" made her finally choose to explain the truth to the other party.
But then, the sound of an eagle piercing the eardrums was heard in the sky.
In the darkness of the night, a pair of looming red eyes were firmly fixed on the two people who were talking.
"It's not safe here, let's go somewhere else. The moment the eagle appeared, Avalak pulled Ciri into the dark alleyway.
Isn't that the eagle that dropped the Colossus down? The vague outline made Ciri immediately judge which sacred was hovering in the sky.
