April 17, 4221 in the Holy Yuan calendar. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

For the ordinary residents of Tagus, another ordinary day in their lives is about to come to an end as the sun sets in the west and gradually approaches the horizon, and they begin to wait for tomorrow with longing or numbness.

It's just that for some people, it's not easy to live today.

The southwestern suburbs near the St. Gurus Mountains were relatively sparsely populated and extremely scattered, with at least a few manors in a sizable area around the secret stronghold of the Mercenary Alliance at the very edge, and even the closest one was a mile away, leaving the rest of the mountains with dense forests except for the gentle mountains.

Normally, Elena would never act alone in any place, but she didn't take Casey with her during the special period, but left Casey in the city the same way Curry did with Rawls. What's more, at this moment, she would prefer to be alone for a while.

The meeting was generally not as unexpected as Elena had expected, and the Terran bosses had a wonderful debate about the situation in their current control, but they could not agree on anything, and in the end, Lansar adjourned the meeting, and the discussion resumed the next day after everyone had thought it carefully.

However, in Elena's eyes, this is of no use at all, and it is just a waste of time.

Walking slowly on the forest path where the setting sun was shining, Elena stopped under a towering tree that was twenty meters high, her bright green eyes raised, and the sudden breeze stirred her long pale blonde hair, and let an indiscrete sigh dissipate in the wind.

The shortest tree in my hometown is taller than this one......

Shaking her head, Elena turned around and was about to leave, when she suddenly looked up as if sensing something, and looked at the top of another tree in the direction of the setting sun.

There, the figure sitting on the branch and leaning against the trunk of the tree looks like a silhouette from the angle of the backlight, and the hanging black robe flutters with the breeze with the leaves next to it, which is indescribably natural.

As if he hadn't seen Elena, Curry tilted his head and watched the sunset from above, his arms behind his head and a bent leg that made him look very comfortable, like a big cat lazily napping in a tree.

Perhaps it was this comfortable feeling that infected the princess, Elena slowly relaxed her nervousness, and subconsciously squinted her eyes after recognizing Curry's identity.

In the meeting just now, only this person and the one next to him had been silent, and she had not been able to infer anything from their expressions or movements, which made her pay attention in the first place, but she didn't expect to meet here.

This forest is already quite far away from the manor where the meeting took place just now, and it is for this reason that I came here, but it is clear that this person came before me.

"I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

After careful consideration, Elena said out of polite greeting.

But what she didn't expect was that Curry didn't even react to her greeting, and didn't even look back, as if he hadn't heard it at all.

Elena frowned, obviously not expecting the embarrassing situation now, and just about to say something more, Curry asked abruptly:

"Did you really sigh when you said this to me?"

“......”

If Morin had seen Elena's expression now, he would have patted her on the shoulder with empathy, and then gloated and laughed for a while.

Princess Elena, who has always choked on others, was choked by Curry this time, but she couldn't say a word. As Curry said, the truest sound she ever made here was probably the lonely sigh just now, but she really didn't expect that Curry would notice the thin breeze and the isolated self in the wind.

"Sorry for saying strange things. ”

What was even more unexpected for Elena was that after stretching, Curry turned his head and looked at Elena standing still below, showing a casual smile, and politely apologized to her as if he had changed someone, and jumped down from the tree with a bow.

This made Elena's eyes move. The twenty-meter-tall tree is of course nothing for a ninth-level elf archer like her, but it is not so simple for a magician like Ke Rui, jumping directly from the top of the tree without the body of a second-level warrior should be either crippled or injured, but Ke Rui's performance is very relaxed, and there is nothing unusual.

"Human masks are not easy to wear, and if you don't have to, you don't have to force yourself. ”

Perhaps it is the perennial solo travel that has made Curry accustomed to a concise way of speaking, Curry rarely speaks nonsense except on a whim or business needs, he always likes to use the shortest and most direct words to express his meaning, and because he has no scruples, what he says is often unprepared.

For example, Morin before, such as Elena now.

It's just that Elena is not an idle person.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with dealing with a race like that, and the Terrans are calculating, cunning, and unscrupulous in order to achieve their ends. ”

Facing Curry, who was dressed in a black robe, Elena did not back down at all. She can let it go, and since Curry is unabashed, she doesn't need to do any pretense.

"That's right. ”

Curry didn't seem to have a reaction that Elena expected, and in the face of the elven princess's calm answer, Curry nodded in agreement, but his gaze never stayed on Elena, but kept tilting his head to look at the sunset that was gradually slanting in the distance, and the soft afterglow made him feel very comfortable:

"But that's not what I meant. ”

"What?"

Elena was slightly stunned.

"Me...... I'm a merchant, and even among the calculating Terrans, I'm the most calculating, so I'm not telling you here, right...... It's about whether it's worth it or not. ”

Gently closing his eyes, and then opening them again, Curry looked at Elena who was slightly overwhelmed with a smile on his face, and his eyes lit up with a faint blue fluorescence:

"Three questions, Your Highness the Princess - in the past 100 years, have you lived for yourself one day?"

“......”

"Are you willing to change yourself in order to deal with the Terrans?"

“......”

"Are you born with the eyes that I am familiar with that seem to see you!?"

“......”

No, it's more of a question than a question, more of a question from yourself than a question from Curry—the self you've been running away from.

As a princess of the elven race, especially a princess born in a special period, the burden on Elena's body has been on her shoulders since she was born, and what she does must be based on race without choice, and everything she does must be unreservedly dedicated to the race!

Curry is right, for more than 100 years, has he lived for himself one day? Has he voluntarily changed in order to deal with the Terrans? His calm eyes like stones are innate?!

"The right judgment is not necessarily the result you want. The helplessness of life has been sung by many romantic poets since ancient times, but the bitter tears will never be tasted by a second person for themselves. ”

Looking at Elena, who was trying to stay calm, Curry sighed lightly. Originally, according to the development of this plot, Ke Rui should have taken the beautiful woman into his arms to comfort him or something, but if Ke Rui really did that, he would not be Ke Rui.

However, that doesn't mean Curry won't do anything.

He patted Elena lightly on the shoulder, and pointed to the west as she looked over—over there, the sunset, which was only half faced, looked like a reddish jade, and the orange-red afterglow shining at almost right angles looked dreamy and magnificent in Elena's eyes.

At this moment, Elena actually held her breath, she never realized that the shock and emotion were so simple, just like this...... It's happening around me every day!

In the blink of an eye, Elena suddenly looked at Curry beside her.

It was only at this point that she finally understood that she had come here to find a quiet place to think, to think about tomorrow's council, to think about the future arrangements, and that this person had come here just to enjoy the scenery quietly.

"Cunning humans. ”

Elena pursed her lips, but finally sighed softly.

If this is a confrontation, she has already lost completely.
