Chapter 42: Weird Little Things
Due to the fact that Lolana was staying overnight in the trading house, considering the reserve of the eldest lady and the soundproofing of the room, El had to control his evil and hold the pestering little maid in his arms and whisper softly. γStarterγ
"Today I also went to help in the back kitchen, and when Mr. Jupiter heard that I had worked as a tavern hostess, he asked me to greet guests in the shop, and to learn the knowledge of accounting. He said I was very talented and would leave the shop to me in the future......" Tika leaned into El's arms and muttered about his day's trivialities.
"My Tika is so cute, and certainly more appealing than those silly guys. El said solemnly, in exchange for a girl's giggles.
"It's just a hassle to remember those numbers, my head is dizzy. Tika snorted.
"If you don't like it, don't go, I told the boss. El said.
"It's okay, I like it. Tika wrapped her arms around El, her face rubbing against his chest. "That...... Miss Lolana is a big beauty, I heard that she is still talented and beautiful, and the young lady in the business house is full of praise, and her eyes are shining. β
"yes, that's right. El bit the girl's earlobe, reached into her dress with one hand, took the soft pepper milk, and kneaded it gently.
"I just don't know if the feel is as good as my little maid? Why don't I seduce her?"
"Don't!"
Tika threw his head back in a huff, bit El's lip, and pressed his hot body against his chest, his mouth whining unwillingly.
"Okay, don't make trouble, the eldest lady will listen to the corner. El struggled to get out of the gentle country, grabbing Tika's hand to prevent her from continuing to tease. For the countryman, there is no need to shy away from rolling the sheets, and there is no shame in it. Let the group of bachelors downstairs hear it, at most it is just envy, jealousy and hatred, but he is not sure how the reserved eldest lady next door will react.
Tika's face flushed with shame, but she still blinked her two large, watery eyes with a look of anticipation. El was so angry by her that he couldn't care about anything else when his mind was hot, so he turned over and pressed the girl to the bed.
Although his apprehensions eventually relented, it took El two hours to feed Tika and put her to sleep contentedly. The girl who tasted things for the first time only knew how to take without restraint, and this happiness troubled El was very headache.
He could understand Tika's psychology, the girl had lost her parents since she was a child, grew up in a tavern, and came into contact with only the vulgar drunks of the village every day. She doesn't know how to express her inner feelings, only that men like their bodies, and this is her only precious asset.
El stroked the girl's smooth back, sniffing her body fragrance. Even in her sleep, the girl habitually curled up in his arms in search of warmth and security, as cute as a kitten. He kissed Tika on the forehead and closed his eyes himself.
The room was silent again, and the breathing of the two men became muffled and steady. The bright moonlight shines through the window and reflects in the room. The backpack in the corner of the wall suddenly shook, and two slender tentacles poked out of the gap in the bag, carefully listening to the sounds in the room.
After a few more moments, after confirming that the owner of the room was asleep, a small black object emerged from the backpack. It looked curiously at the moonlight outside the window, tentatively reaching out of the shadows to catch the bright light.
After playing for a long time, the little thing sniffed its nose, its eyes lit up, and it turned its head and ran towards the apple bag hidden behind the door. It was silent and agile, jumping onto the box behind the door, quickly untying the tether from the bag, picking up the largest apple and opening its mouth to bite it.
The crisp "click" of the fresh apples is not loud, but it is very clear on such a quiet night. The little thing stuffed with the flesh in its mouth couldn't help but stiffen, although it always remained cautious, it had never seen fruit on the ground after all, and it didn't expect this apple to be so crisp.
Listening intently to the movement in the room, and feeling that nothing was unusual, the little thing breathed a sigh of relief and turned around. But then it shuddered, and its body trembled involuntarily.
In the darkness, a pair of terrifying eyes glowing with a faint blue light were staring at it coldly.
El's perception was very acute, and he could detect Tiana's gaze even from a distance of hundreds of meters on the Red Stone Ridge. Even when he was sleeping, he could sense all the faint movements around him. This is a necessary skill for any good hunter to survive in the forest.
By the time the little thing came out of his backpack, he had already opened his eyes and quickly came to his senses, and now he had caught the thief who was stealing food.
Although he already had some conjectures in his heart, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise when he leaned down to see the true face of the little thing.
The creature is about the size of a normal person's forearms, has smooth tan skin, and has a shield-like carapace on its limbs, which at first glance is known to be a shell used to disguise itself as an "egg". Its lower body is four sickle-legged limbs like insects, and it also has a scorpion tail on its back, and its sharp barbs shimmer with a dark blue sheen, which is obviously highly poisonous.
Its upper body turned out to be a human girl the size of a doll, except for a pair of large bright yellow eyes without pupils, and two humanoid arms wrapped in a thick layer of cuticular membrane, which looked like clumsy bracers.
The little thing was visibly frightened, and his eyes widened for a full circle. She still had a large apple in her mouth and didn't have time to swallow it, so she made stupid eyes with El.
This is...... The young body of the landwalker?El carefully looked at the stunned little thing, and he was not very sure in his heart, he had only heard of such a legendary creature in the mouth of the old bard.
Earthwalkers, also known as the Zerg by humans, are the third intelligent race in this world to have a ** civilization system in addition to humans and elves. The legendary Earthwalker are an extraterritorial race that has crossed the plane to this world, and was once designated a heretic by the gods and has waged several wars of judgment against them. But in the end, the race survived tenaciously.
Due to the different living habits, humans occupy the plains, elves hide in the forests, and landwalkers, as the name suggests, live in the underground world. Their physique is the opposite of that of humans, preferring cold regions, where there is no need to compete for living space between the two races, and there is no other point of communication. Because of this, there are few records of Earthwalker activity in the history of mankind.
In the few depictions of earthwalkers in the human world, the logic and morality of this race are so different from those of humans that they can barely communicate with them. Although they look very similar to insects, they possess the ability to change shape, and high-blooded Earthwalkers can even transform into humanoid creatures.
The little thing in front of me doesn't seem to have started to grow yet, and it may have only been born for a short time, knowing that the legendary Earthwalkers are all huge beasts. But judging by her reactions, this little thing already possessed an intelligence that was not weaker than that of an ordinary beast. When she noticed that El was not moving, she immediately swallowed the apple in her mouth quickly, her body clumped together, the carapace spliced together, and turned into the inconspicuous "spider egg" again, rolling down the edge of the box.
El's eyes quickly grabbed it, and his hand was slightly strained. To his surprise, this layer of eggshell turned out to be even tougher than he imagined, and it could also block his prying eyes with his true eye, which was really a rare protection.
Without alerting Tika, he quietly left the room with the "spider egg" and walked downstairs to the back kitchen. At such a late hour, even the cook was already resting, and the kitchen was empty.
"When you cut it and bake it, it must taste good. β
El pressed the "spider egg" to the cutting board, carrying a kitchen knife and muttering to himself.
The "spider egg" immediately writhed, struggling to escape the clutches, but was involuntarily spun by El's pluck. Seeing that there was nothing to be done, the little thing hiding inside suddenly split the eggshell, stretched out the scorpion tail and stabbed El in the hand, and was slapped flat by El in the back as he had expected.
The little thing shuddered, tears streaming from her eyes, and she quickly withdrew her tail and held it in her arms, looking at El with pitiful eyes.
"You can understand human language. β
El finally had a smile on his face, he took a piece of cake from the cabinet next to him, pinched a small piece and handed it to the little thing, shaking it twice.
Seeing the seemingly delicious food, the little thing immediately forgot about the pain, poked its head out curiously, sniffed the smell, took a bite of the cake in El's hand, and then quickly retracted into its own carapace.
El was not in a hurry, and broke a small piece of cake and brought it over. The little thing seemed to be unable to resist the temptation of food, almost never refusing, and eating so fast that in the blink of an eye the whole cake was wiped out.
The little thing clutched its stomach and hummed in satisfaction, and the fear of El gradually disappeared. She blinked and stretched her mouth out, begging for food.
"What's your name?" asked El as he rubbed his fingers against the little thing's face.
"Langa ......" A weak, immature voice suddenly sounded in his head.
"Langa?" El covered his head in amazement, and he noticed that the little thing was not speaking, but was transmitting the voice to his head in some mysterious way.
This way of speaking may be a unique ability of that race.
"This little thing might make a nice pet. When El thought this, the little thing didn't react, which made him breathe a sigh of relief and go on feeding.
