Chapter 13: Night in the Snowy Forest

"Why do you need my 'flash'?"

Wu Yu asked "why" three times in a row, but the elf fat man did not answer this question directly, and he used "You will know when the time comes" to prevaricate, Wu Yu smelled the smell of danger, but Wu Yu, who was poor and white, was finally carried away by the money and did not continue to dwell on this question.

After discussing some of the details of the mission, the elf fat man went back. The next morning, Wu Yu and the others met the elf fat man at the north gate of Sybil Town as agreed, accompanied by Tsubaki, and she was followed by the beautiful White Deer King. Seeing that Tsubaki Wu Yu was surprised, there was also a hint of joy. In fact, it should be said that most of them are stealing.

Don't look at Tsubaki's delicate appearance, Wu Yu has already understood that she is an elven archer with the title of archery instructor.

The Natural Elf Clan was originally born to be the best archers in this Tianyao Continent.

The mission took place in the Mount Kieran mountain range, about 300 kilometers from the town of Sibier.

Darren had already prepared the means of transportation for the trip, which was the first task to negotiate. The "Wind and Snow Mercenary Group" is responsible for all labor chores during the mission, and the elf fat is responsible for paying for the money.

The means of transport is three sleds, and in the snow sledding is the best option. Considering the steep climbs, each vehicle is equipped with 8 strong sled dogs, two in front to seat people, and one in the back to carry mission items such as cold-resistant tent sleeping bags. While these things can be placed in his space pocket, Darren prefers to fill his space pocket with the treasures harvested from this mission rather than these cheap tent sleeping bags.

The remains of the alchemy laboratory of the Great Alchemy Master should have a lot of valuable things in it......

Wu Yu and Darren ride on a sleigh, the elf fat man rides on one alone, and Tsubaki rides on the White Deer King.

The White Deer King is actually the mount of the elf fat man, but Xiaobai prefers to hold this elf girl rather than its fat owner. Looking at the fat mountain-like body of the elf fat man, and looking at Tsubaki's slender and slender figure, Wu Yu can quite understand.

Alas, poor little white ......

"Hey! Boy, put away your nasty gaze! Don't look at me as a little fat now, I think back then, when I was the thinnest, I was only six pounds and six! ”

“……”

When it was getting dark, they set up camp in the forest. The forest is vast, and according to the map, you can see the Kieran Mountains when you go out. The colder the place, the narrower the leaves, and the forests of the Ice and Snow Empire Gandowa are basically all coniferous forests.

"How long will it take for us to arrive?"

The elven fat man was a little impatient to get the alchemy codex of the alchemy master, and was a little dissatisfied with Darren setting up camp to rest so early.

"In general, sled dogs are quite enduring, they can run about 60 kilometers a day. But they also need to rest, and they don't have the strength to pull the sled with an empty stomach. Mr. Euromi, please be patient, at our pace, I can think of 5 to 6 days if I don't think of an accident. ”

Darren explained as he moved the tent off the sleigh. Seeing Wu Yu, who was sitting on the sleigh and staring at the back of the elf girl and fell into dementia, he was angry. He, the nominal and only younger brother of the head of the regiment, is he just sitting and not doing things?

Is this guy on a honeymoon or on a mission!

Darren swept Wu Yu with a vicious gaze.

"Xiaoyu, uncle! Don't spring all day long, can you have a bit of work ethic? Can you go hunt some game in the forest and come back, do you want our employer to go hungry? ”

"Oh!"

Wu Yu blushed and jumped off the sleigh.

"Wait for me, I'll go too!"

Tsubaki grabbed his bow and arrows and chased after him.

The northern part of the Gandova Empire was the coldest, with snow all year round. In the snow, it is difficult to see the shadows of animals, but there are definitely animals, and most of them are hiding.

Wu Yu and Tsubaki stood side by side, although he was hot in his heart, he still maintained a gentlemanly distance of about 1 meter. Neither of them spoke, they were both ignorant teenagers and girls about love, and the feeling in their hearts was wonderful.

Tsubaki's cheeks were a little flushed, but Wu Yu thought that it should be the reason for the cold weather, he seemed to have forgotten that the natural elves were the darlings of nature, and the cold and heat of the weather had little effect on them, even in the cold wilderness, Wu Yu and Darren were both thick cotton jackets and fur coats, while Tsubaki was wearing a thin white dress.

After shopping for a while, I found a mole, Wu Yu didn't do anything, he couldn't let his big financier eat rat meat, right? However, they were lucky, and after walking some distance they found a small reindeer.

Wu Yu's hand rested on the dagger, which was transformed from the original short sword, and cost 5 silver coins to do it. Because of the Star Sword, this short sword is useless, and it is only the lowest level 0 weapon.

This is a great opportunity to perform in front of your sweetheart! When Wu Yu pulled out his dagger and was about to use his fastest flying knife technique, he only heard the sound of the bowstring next to him.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow has been pierced into the vital point of the little reindeer.

Wu Yu opened his mouth and didn't speak.

No way! Such a fast arrow speed?

Wu Yu dragged the hapless little reindeer to the camp step by step, he enjoyed the time alone with Tsubaki, if it wasn't for the fact that some people would think that they would wait too long to be hungry, he actually wanted to walk more slowly.

"Why is it so long!"

Darren complained, he had already picked up a pile of firewood and lit a roaring bonfire.

Seeing the little reindeer, Darren didn't say a word, grabbed the little reindeer and skillfully cleaned it up. Cut off most of the meat and feed it to the sled dogs, and the rest was first propped up and hung on the bonfire with a wooden fork, and then kept shaking the wooden fork that supported the little reindeer, and the flames on the light wind roasted the venison and made a sizzling sound, and the oil seeped out of the meat and the flames jumped and jumped, and finally Darren naturally couldn't forget to sprinkle his secret spices.

The elf fat man tore off one of his thighs, and he was so satisfied with Darren's barbecue skills that he ate it all at once.

Wu Yu looked at the deer bones that the elf fat man casually threw in front of the White Deer King, with a strange expression. The young man wondered in his heart, is this too cruel to this poor White Deer King? Although the breeds are different, Xiaobai is still a deer no matter how you look at it, right?

Three tents, one for Wu Yu and Darren, one for Tsubaki, and one for the elf fat man. Of course, Wu Yu and Darren share a tent not to stage a spicy scene, and the two big men don't have to sleep in their arms, but because Wu Yu and Darren have to take turns to keep vigil at night.

Wu Yu was in charge of the first half of the night.

It was late at night, and it was too quiet in the woods. The day is cold and the night is even colder, even if he hides in a leeward place, Wu Yu can still feel the howling cold wind.

The night was quiet, using a thick dead tree trunk as a chair, and Wu Yu sat alone by the campfire. It was very boring to be unable to do anything, so his eyes were staring at the flame and beating, and beating.

The White Deer King snorted, and his white breath floated from his nose. It didn't know when it came over and sniffed at Wu Yu curiously.

This scene happened to be seen by Tsubaki, who came out of the tent, and she was a little surprised.

"It seems that Xiaobai likes you very much."

"Hasn't Tsubaki-san slept yet?"

"It's not like it's okay, just call me Tsubaki, or call me Tsubaki."

"Oh, good...... Then you can call me Wu Yu or Xiao Yu too......"

Wu Yu scratched the back of his head embarrassedly and moved Tsubaki's position, and Tsubaki sat down unceremoniously.

"I can't sleep, talk to me."

Tsubaki raised his eyes and smiled smartly, Wu Yu was stunned, and ripples rippled in his heart.

"Oh...... Good ......"

"You know what? Xiaobai only likes humans with pure hearts, and I've never seen Xiaobai take the initiative to approach a human! ”

"Is Xiaobai male or female?"

Tsubaki's words aroused Wu Yu's strong curiosity, and he didn't seem to have carefully identified it along the way. When he tilted his head and glanced between the hind legs of the White Deer King, he was greeted by a deer's hoof.

The White Deer King glared at Wu Yu and walked away angrily.

Tsubaki looked at the young man with a gray face and hoof prints on his face, and grinned, it was a silver bell-like laughter. As for Wu Yu, he looked surprised.

"It understands what I'm saying?!"

"Of course, Xiaobai is a super demonic beast, and high-level demonic beasts usually have quite high intelligence. It's very rude for you to do this, but you're a big girl! ”

Tsubaki pulled Wu Yu up and helped him pat the snow residue off his hair. The two of them had physical contact, and Wu Yu felt a quiet and attractive fragrance between his noses, and his face turned red.

"Dirty, I'll just do it myself......"

Tsubaki suddenly smiled inexplicably.

"Afraid of what? How I feel like I'm going to eat you. ”

Sitting back on the trunk of the dead tree, the atmosphere was inexplicably quiet again. Tsubaki lowered her head slightly, the firelight reddening her fair face, and the hairband fluttered gently in the breeze. After waiting for a long time, he didn't hear Wu Yu speak, so he secretly used the corner of his eye to see what this wood was doing.

Wu Yu didn't do anything, just stared at the flames in a daze, finished in a daze, and then changed his posture and continued to be in a daze.

This stupid melon, can't you take the initiative?

"We elves are natural archers, and the affinity of wood elements is also very high, and it is also good to be a nature mage, do you think that it is a stupid thing for an elf to be an alchemist?"

In the end, Tsubaki couldn't help but be the first to speak.

"No, that's a belief, it's not something stupid."

Tsubaki has been paying attention to Wu Yu's eyes, eyes don't lie, so she knows that Wu Yu's answer is very sincere.

"Actually, the reason why my father wants to take the path of an alchemist is because of my mother."

Tsubaki told Wu Yu some stories about the alchemy of the elf fat man, because some things involved some secrets of the natural elf clan, so some things were not detailed. The general content is: the elves are divided into the natural elves and the dark moon elves, the relationship between the two races is not harmonious, and it can even be said that they are mortal enemies, although large wars rarely occur, small-scale conflicts are a frequent thing. The most recent of the larger conflicts took place 113 years ago, when there was even a skirmish, in which her mother was seriously wounded. She was injured by an arrow with poison refiner poison attached, and the poison was most likely from the poison refining master. Her mother was lucky enough to survive, but she remained unconscious. Although his father also approached several alchemy masters and asked them to refine the antidote, they were all rejected because the cost of the antidote potion like alchemy was too great. Therefore, his father embarked on the path of an alchemist, hoping to save his mother.

As for why the elf fat man is so fat, the reason is that a long time ago, he tried to drink the magic potion that failed in the alchemy experiment, and there were some problems with his body. In fact, no matter how much the elves eat and drink, they can't get fat.
