The blizzard poured into the room through a hole in the roof, and the temperature in the council hall of Ringol Pante immediately dropped. Jonah put on his hood and reached out to cover the snowflakes in front of the pit, and Hannah stopped him with a spear: "Wait a minute, I don't know what will happen in that barrier, it's better not to get too close." ”

"Rest assured. The astrologer wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, "Hide behind me, I'll be on my guard." He turned on the power of the defensive circle and the "square circle" of the skirt armor Lutarus, and walked to the edge of the pit in two steps, only to see a hexagonal gap blooming above the dark brown spherical barrier, filled with a warm orange-yellow light, Jonah's heart was pounding, and the probe looked into the barrier.

He saw a pair of dark eyes.

The boy's heart stopped beating. Realizing that the creatures within the barrier were eyeing him, he took a step back sharply, and said in a trembling voice, "The people inside...... Do you understand what I'm saying? We didn't mean it, and we didn't mean to damage the buildings here,...... I'm sorry!"

There was no answer. Hannah Stewart leaned out from the side and took a look, "It's an elf, it's the same race as the corpse frozen into ice, it's supposed to be a thorn elf." Does anyone in the Pitchfork squad speak Elvish?"

Jonah looked back at Elliott. The knight smiled wryly and shook his head, "We can only read some elven characters, the grammar and pronunciation of elven languages are very strange, and some syllables cannot be produced by human vocal organs. If there is a communication barrier, remember to smile, Brother Jonah, the only language in this world is to smile. ”

Jonah took a step forward slowly, showed a very awkward smile to the elves in the enchantment, and gestured: "I, we are from other continents, and we don't want to disturb you, but some people come here and do something, we are very concerned, so ...... My name is Jonah, what's your name?" he pointed to his heart, "Jonah, Jonah." Then he pointed to the other person: "Name?

"Idiot. The elf spoke, speaking in pure Western Continent lingua franca. "Now, come in, everyone, it's not safe outside. The elf beckoned, turned and went into the depths of the barrier out of sight.

Several humans stared at each other dumbfounded. "This ...... Could it be a trap?" Jonah asked weakly, and Hannah shook her head vigorously. The Rose Knight looked sideways at the furry elf on his shoulder and said, "No, it's a real elemental elf, and divine magic creatures don't lie." We're about to enter the barrier, and Miss Sibby's heat is rising again, and she must be healed right away. ”

The Pitchfork's buddies have different mentalities and leap into the pothole, from the hexagonal notch into the spherical enchantment. Unexpectedly, it was a rather large space inside, and as soon as he entered the enchantment, Jonah felt dizzy, as if the whole world had been turned upside down. He rubbed his eyes and found himself standing on the inner wall of the barrier, his head pointing towards the center of the sphere, and at his feet was the hexagonal hole from which Hannah Stewart's feet were protruding eerily.

"Can even gravity be changed?" said the astrologer, dumbfounded. He watched as the head and feet of the current head of the Stuart family slowly protruded from the hole, and suddenly spun around in the air and landed lightly, Hannah looked around vigilantly with a big gun in his hand, and then was stunned: "What?

The next one to come in was Yakong, who poked blankly at the ground as if he didn't care about the strange space, completely forgetting who had just tried to split the barrier in half with a burning eye. Finally, the unicorn arrives with the Rosenkavalier and sees four fur-wrapped horses' hooves sticking out of the ground, which has an eerie sense of humor, but Elliott himself was the first to notice the change in the gravitational field, "Oh, that's right. The knight jumped into the barrier, hovered briefly at the critical point of gravity transformation, and then stood gracefully in front of everyone, "It's funny, this kind of barrier doesn't exist in the world for a long time, and it's still in perfect condition after a long time." ”

The hexagonal entrance and exit slowly closed, and an elf stood in front of everyone. The elves are slightly shorter than the grasshoppers, have dark brown skin, and have surprisingly large black eyes and long, pointy ears. He had six sharp protrusions on the top of his head, a small braid hanging from the back of his head, and a linen shirt on his body, so that he could not tell his gender or age. "Now, you. The elf suddenly pointed at Jonah, "What are you doing?"

"Me?" the astrologer was a little flustered, "I'm Jonah, a member of the Pitchfork Squad, and we're here to find a group of people from the Eastern Continent, who I'm sure they've been here before." ”

"Idiot. The elf said unceremoniously, "Tell me what you're here for." ”

"Is that what I just said the purpose?" said the young man strangely.

"Ah, that's annoying. The elf suddenly sat down and pointed to the top of his head: "Now, that idiot is one of yours, right?"

They followed his gaze and looked up, and saw several elves standing at the other end of the barrier—opposite the fifty-yard-diameter sphere—whose faces were not easy to see each other because of their heads being overheaded, but a man lying at the elves' feet (which felt more like hanging from the ceiling) looked a little familiar. The white robe that refused to be replaced because of the face problem and stuffed a lot of animal skins in it, the desert-style white turban, the huge backpack, and the large gold coins that would not let go even if he passed out, this honor seemed to be easily recognizable.

“...... Danny?"

When everyone looked back, they realized that Danny Stewart had disappeared as soon as he entered the council chamber. "No wonder I always feel like something is missing. Hannah said, "...... There's something called 'trouble' missing. ”

The elf sat there without any energy, "Now, that idiot is drunk in our pantry, ruining our precious things, and has been spotted by patrolling, and there is no choice but to bring him here." What to do, Jonah guy?"

Jonah immediately said sincerely, "I'm sorry! The books record Ringolpant as a ruin, and we thought that the thorn elves were long gone, and that the gold coins were ownerless. Danny is a bit greedy, but he's definitely not a bad guy, he'll give you back all the gold coins, and won't hide a single one, we'...... We'll make it up to you too, whether it's for Danny or for the holes in the floor and ceiling......"

"Now, what are you talking about? The elf's dark eyes rolled widely: "Gold coins and that kind of thing, you can take as many as you want, every guy here has boxes of gold coins that can't be used." I'm talking about food, food! We only have a little food left, and if we don't waste it, we'll starve to death before the end of our life! Dying at the end of our lives is completely different from starving to death, but the way to die is completely different, idiot!"

"Food?" the boy froze again.

The elf picked up a small silver jar, opened the jar and took out a smaller small gold jar, opened the smaller little gold jar and took out a tiny glass jar, opened the glass jar, and said, "Oh, food." You humans aren't stupid enough to know even food. ”

The amber viscous substance in the glass bottle exuded a sweet and fragrant smell, and several elves sitting or lying around immediately stared at each other with round eyes and grunted saliva, the elf triumphantly covered the bottle cap, and carefully stored it one bottle after another, "Food! Ringol Pant's most precious treasure! The treasure of the thorn elves!

"Ahh......h I'm sorry, but we'll compensate for the damage to my partner. ”

"Now, that's a lot better, hey, send that guy over. The elf nodded and shouted. Several elves above his head worked together to lift Danny up, and threw it upwards with force, Danny Stewart slowly rose to the center of the sphere, turned around and fell like a stone, Jonah reached out to take it, and then the elves spoke: "Now, I don't have the strength to talk nonsense with you, I'll say what I'm going to say first, and then it's time for you to say it." ”

He found a comfortable position to lie down and said in one breath: " My name is Malu Ringol Fir, I am the village chief of this Ringol Pant, and I am also the oldest person in this village, of course, I am also the speaker of the Thorn Elf Council, needless to say, I am also a member of the Supreme Council of the Elemental Elves, since the catastrophe destroyed the entire Northern Continent, there are so many people left of the Thorn Elves, they can't go out and walk around at will, they can only hide in this turtle shell, eat and wait for death, you know that the Thorn Elves are users of plant elements, there is not even a dog tail grass in the ice and snow outside, we can't absorb the power of the elements, and if we go out, we will immediately freeze into iceFortunately, there was enough food stored in the village, and the amount of food we ate was not large, and it was good to eat a little bit a day, so we held a meeting and set the price of food - needless to say, the price of food has increased more than 800 times in a thousand years, and that was decided by more than 800 meetings - every time we take food, send four people to supervise each other, put the money in the storeroom, and we can't take more food, and of course we can't give more money, and so a thousand years have passed in a blink of an eye. We won't live long when the food is almost gone, and the rest of the matter is not known whether it will be starvation or starvation, and recently the parliament is preparing legislation to make gambling against life expectancy illegal!"
