The Elven Empress smiled bitterly and said, "Fortunately, when the various races were fighting, there was no strange person like you among the human races, otherwise, the elven clan would never be able to have even a unicorn again." ”

I smiled slightly and said, "At that time, there were many masters on the mainland, maybe with my strength, it was just a small splash." ”

The Elven Empress shook her head and said, "It's gold that always shines, even though there are many talented people at that time, but few can be as magical as you!"

I smiled and began to help the women sign contracts with unicorns. Soon, it was just me and Melina.

"It's your turn, tell me which one you picked?" I smiled as I looked at Melina.

Melina shook her head and said, "I said I wouldn't want it!"

I smiled slightly bitterly, but I was embarrassed, and looked at Filia for help, dealing with such a scene, naturally she was better than me. But I don't want Philia to smile wryly, looking helpless.

"In that case, let's leave Melina's unicorn and me here first, and wait for her to figure it out in a few days, and then choose together!" I said helplessly.

The Elven Empress gave Melina an interesting look, and after looking me up and down for a while, a smile flashed in her eyes, and she said, "Since that's the case, let's wait for next time! Anyway, with Elder Long here, it's not difficult to sign a spiritual contract." Then I'll be out of company first. With that, she drifted away.

I looked at Melina with a wry smile and said, "Sister, can you save me some face in front of outsiders?"

Melina wrinkled her nose, her pretty face was slightly red, and said, "What kind of outsider, is it true that I am an insider with you?"

"Of course, we've shared we've been through thick and thin along the way, aren't we insiders?" I snickered. Philia next to her had already secretly laughed, others didn't know, but she knew very well.

Melina immediately came to her senses, looked at the snickering Philia, and said, "Anyway, that unicorn is too precious, I said that I wouldn't want anything." ”

I said depressedly: "Don't you, do I have to ride one end by myself and lead the other, then I won't become a groom?" Besides, we have to rush together in the future, do we have mounts, but we watch you walk alone, and we have to stop from time to time to wait for you to fail?"

Melina didn't think about it, shook her head and said, "I don't care, anyway, I won't want it." ”

I shook my head and said, "Since you don't want to, don't blame us for leaving you alone." Who made you have no mounts? Come to think of it, old man Siskaya won't blame me at that time. ”

"Okay!" Melina was angry and said, "It turns out that you have always thought so! Well, out of the Elven Forest, we will go our separate ways, and I will never drag you down again!" After speaking, she turned around angrily and walked away. Vaguely, I seemed to see the tears in her eyes.

I suddenly froze, stupidly turned my head to look at Filia, and then turned to the faces of Sister Jean, Alice and Camilla, and said suspiciously: "What did I just say?

Filia sighed, and said, "You, you really don't understand a girl's heart at all!" she said, shook her head, and turned away.

Qinsi also looked at me and shook her head, with a sad look that made me even more confused.

Alice ran up in disgust and said, "Brother is so bad, bullying Sister Melina again, Alice ignores you!" and followed Filia and the others away.

I was dumbfounded, looked at Sister Camilla who was left behind, and said, "You say, did I say the wrong thing just now?"

"We dare not say it!" replied the sisters.

"What dare you dare, will I still eat you, come on, am I wrong?" I said eagerly.

"What the master just said is indeed a little wrong!" Cassily said bluntly and directly. Camila hurriedly tugged at her and motioned for her to be careful when she spoke.

"Oh, what's wrong?" I hurriedly asked.

"Anyone can see Miss Melina's thoughts about her master, but it seems that she is with her just now, as if she is with her to take care of her, so that her grandfather will not blame her, and this also hurts Miss Melina's heart too much. Cassily said seriously.

"Well, according to what you say, I'm really a little wrong!" I nodded, and then turned to Camilla, "If you have anything to say in the future, you can just say it directly, don't worry about anything." I've always considered you friends. As he spoke, he ignored the two daughters behind him. It's a pity that I don't say a lot of such things, but the two girls still can't turn the corner.

All day, Melina hid in her room, and even the meals were brought in by Camilla. Although I had the heart to apologize to her, I didn't have a chance at all.

In the evening, I found myself kicked out. First of all, Filia "closed the door", and then Qinsi "unwell", in short, I couldn't get into the room between the two. I really miss the gentle and graceful Philia who used to be gentle and obedient.

Standing quietly in the courtyard, I felt the quiet night unique to the elven territory, looking at the canopy of the Tree of Life like a giant umbrella on my head, the true qi slowly flowed, and I actually entered a state of calm like this.

It wasn't until a soft exclamation woke me up from this wonderful state that I realized that Melina was standing not far in front of me, staring blankly at me.

"What are you doing?" Melina said in surprise, "I thought it was a hell of a sight when the third watch stood motionless in the courtyard in the middle of the night." ”

I silently looked at the sky and said calmly: "It's been more than two hours, I thought it was only a while!" I couldn't help but sigh slightly in my heart, although this state is not very rare, but it is not usually visible. Breakthroughs often come from such selflessness.

"Brother Long, you, are you okay?" Melina said strangely, "Isn't it, did I just disturb you?"

I shook my head and said, "No!" Xuan thought of something again and asked, "Why haven't you slept so late?"

Melina's eyes flashed a hint of gloom, and she said, "I can't sleep, I'll go out for a walk!" It's not that my eyesight is amazing, but I can't see her eyes clearly in this dark night.

I apologized, "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry during the day, so I said the wrong thing, don't take it to heart." ”

"Forget it, I know I can't blame you!" Melina said calmly, but there was a trace of sadness hidden in her tone: "I shouldn't have forced grandpa to let you take me out, along the way, I added so much burden to you." ”

I was dumbfounded, this Melina is completely different from her before, the previous Melina would be happy to find my fault for the sake of me being able to take advantage of it verbally, and would criticize me for a little thing that she didn't like. Now, she seems to have lost that passion, with a sadness that is more sad than her heart is dead, could it be that such a simple sentence really hurts her so much?

"So you care so much about that sentence?" I suddenly looked like I suddenly realized, and said, "Does this mean that you care a lot about what I think of you?"

Melina's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, and a glimmer of hope arose, but she said in a dejected manner: "Isn't it just a burden that you can't do too much? You can easily subdue the elemental spirits that have not appeared on the continent for thousands of years, and even the holy beast-level pets can also be brought at will." The Elven Empress has not seen humans for decades, but not only summoned you personally, but also sent messengers to guide you a hundred miles away, even people like me who come with you can get such a generous gift as the Colorful Heavenly Fragrance Fruit, and your identity is naturally extremely noble. What else can a person like me make you think?"

A smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, and I smiled, "Do you think that's what I think of you?"

"Tell me, I'm listening. Melina calmed down and said indifferently.

I coughed twice before saying, "The first time I met you, to be honest, I was really disgusted, not because you asked me to take the test, but because of your domineering." In my opinion, it's better for girls to be gentle, and if you're too proud, you don't think anyone will like it. However, I later learned that you are the granddaughter of the old man of the dean, and you have been self-reliant since you were a child, so I have a good impression of you. ”

Melina's expression softened, she could no longer maintain her deliberate calm, and muttered in a low voice: "Didn't you just let you test it? ”

I pretended not to hear and continued, "However, when we met again, you still maintained your original pride, so I couldn't help but stimulate you a little. In hindsight, it was a good feeling, so I had the habit of wanting to tease you from time to time. Among them, I also found that not only are you not annoying, but you are also simple and cute. ”

Melina is speechless, just because it feels good to stimulate me, so I deserve to be stimulated by you?

"To be honest, I really didn't think you'd come out on an adventure with me!" I said in a tone that made Melina's face change as well, before she muttered, "If it weren't for Dean Siskaya's request, I really didn't want to take you out." Not because I think you're a burden, but because you're a good person, but there are some things I don't want anyone to know, and I can't tell you unless I can absolutely believe it. In this way, you will definitely be embarrassed to follow us, because, there are some things that I have to hide from you. ”
