Chapter Twenty-Six: Sleepless Nights
Ellena, accompanied by the enthusiastic Christina, visited almost the entire free zone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt wasn't until nightfall, the twin moons rose to the treetops, that the tired half-elves returned to their new home. Although Christina has been tactfully enlightening her along the way, her enlightenment is like a spring breeze, warm and not preachy. However, Alina still has a crush on Jessica.
Flogisa's promise, Christina's enthusiasm did not make her feel safe in the slightest. She began to realize that even the Good Academy had "enemies", but more civilized than the enemies she happened to encounter in the woods. Alina felt confused, she sat on the bed, the box-shaped element air conditioner on the side blew a cool breeze on her, and the blue and red February outside the window had risen to the air. Bright stars climbed up the treetops, and in the dense branches, like glowing fruits.
The scenery outside the window is beautiful, but it still can't dispel the complicated knots in Alina's heart. It is like an iron ring inserted into the heart, made up of anxiety, absurdity, and confusion. If you don't pull it out, sooner or later it will rust and your heart will have a dirty, pus-shedding wound.
Why do I react so much to those things? They're just fake and dirty words?
Alina asked herself, but a little uneasiness rose in her heart, at least there was some truth to the rumors that Jessica had concocted. She wasn't a half-elf from the Whispering Forest, she hadn't seen the World Tree tall, and she certainly wasn't related to Flogisa. What's even more terrifying is that she doesn't have a single memory of the Whispering Forest now, which means that she has most likely never set foot in the Whispering Forest.
But why do I feel scared, disgusted?
She questioned herself further.
Of course, her fear does not contain a moral fear of doing something "bad." Theoretically, she wouldn't be scared, and Frogissa was a good person. And she has a lot of status, which can be seen from the reverence for him in Christina's tone, she is an eternal nobleman.
But is he really trustworthy?
Thinking of this, the half-elf girl felt distraught, and she whispered out the scimitar. Placing the cold scimitar on her white thigh, her fingers gently brushing the cold blade, the coldness of the killing weapon gave her a sense of reassurance.
What exactly am I afraid of?
She asked herself again, and this time she finally got an answer. The half-elf doesn't know where she comes from, she knows that everyone else is someone with parents, who inherit their parents' surnames, and that their parents are a reliable and solid haven for them when they are weak. Blood relationship is the only weaker relationship in this world than the "devil's contract", and Frogissa has no blood relationship with her, why is he so enthusiastic?
Alina shook her head slightly, maybe she shouldn't doubt him, and he wasn't the source of the knot.
She excavated further, recalling the tragic experience of that day, and the panther swallowed her still alive in one bite. The monster killed them all, but took a quarter of her life, and ...........
"Do you think you're not a monster right now?"
She suddenly remembered the words, and Aliana got up, closed the curtains, and walked to the mirror. Even in a room with no lights on, she could still see with the help of the shimmer, but the pattern of the frame of the mirror lost its dazzling color, as if it were dead.
The half-elf looked at himself in the mirror, flustered, confused, and his originally snow-white skin was like the complexion of a dead man, miserable and white. She took off her nightgown and looked at the pale ketones in the mirror.
There were no horns, no worm limbs, and no tentacles, but it seemed strange......
She touched her body, bone-by-bone, afraid that they had already become strange, and even worried that they would suddenly break free from the shackles of flesh and move. Fortunately, these strange fantasies did not come true, and the half-elf girl breathed a sigh of relief, looked at herself in the mirror, and puffed up her chest with a smile.
That smile looked a little weirder, she suddenly realized that there was something wrong with her body, and her eyes immediately focused on one in the mirror, and the smile froze.
Her hand reached for the white ribs, and her fingers pressed hard, but no matter how hard she tried, her fingers couldn't touch the space between the ribs. In a panic, Alina examined her ribs with her ten fingers, and finally came to the conclusion that she had lost her ribs, leaving only a large piece of bone.
"My gift to you, brain. Step by step, gift by gift, sooner or later you will accept it calmly, and you will be very happy. ”
The sudden screeching sound frightened Alina back and sat down on the bed.......
Frogissa opened her fiery eyes and got out of bed. At this time, the vast majority of humans are still asleep, but for the elves, it is a time to wake up. Like her own adult compatriots, Flogissa has long since replaced sleep with efficient "meditation," with one hour of meditation equivalent to two hours of sleep. However, it is a pity that this efficient way to eliminate fatigue is a racial talent unique to elves.
Frogissa walked over to his desk, where he wrote many letters to weave a "greenhouse", the plan had already been prepared, and everything was going in a good direction. The annoying cat, under the service of the tuna and the maid's gentle fingers, had quieted down and enjoyed the beauty of life. He had borrowed all the books about Arcanis in the library, and the academy was a closed greenhouse, isolating all weeds outside.
As long as he guides her well, he will guide her to the path of goodness, and guide her to understand the brilliant and prosperous civilization of the elves. After understanding the greatness of the elven civilization, she will definitely fall in love with the other half of her bloodline, definitely.
He thought, picking up a copy of Alina's class schedule from his desk. It was crowded with art classes, rhetoric, etc., and he had already said hello to the academy, and they were all courses based on elven culture. And the fighting courses such as the Elemental Combat Skills class, which Alina cares about the most, only account for a pitiful three-eighth.....
Alina, who was in her bedroom, regained her composure, and I have to say that the bright lights in the bedroom helped her a lot. She wasn't intimidated by Kazkaz, but it was just a piece of bone.
My gift to you, brain. Step by step, one gift at a time......
She shook her head violently, and now Alina understood what she was afraid of. Everything about the half-elf girl is dependent on others, and they don't give her much security.
Deep down, she longed for herself to have the power to defend herself so that she wouldn't die and become a monster. Although Jessica didn't actually do her any harm, what else could she do if she couldn't even beat a Jessica?
After figuring it out, she became determined, and her immediate goal was very clear, to learn the elemental skills to become stronger, and then defeat Jessica's vassals. Jessica will be the first milestone in her path to growth.
The confusion in her eyes vanished, and Alina turned off the magic lamp, which she didn't need to cheer herself up now. With her scimitar in both hands, she began to fight imaginary enemies, honing her sword skills, and she couldn't sleep anyway.
Sweat spilled down with the swing of the scimitar, and she didn't know how long she had been wielding it, and she didn't stop until dawn came.
