A City in the Forest (3)

The elves in this world are said to be the descendants of the gods produced by the aura of the [Creation Saint Spirit] after the death of the immortals. They have not reached the height of gods, but they are beings who are closer to perfection than gods. He has an eternal beauty, an elegant posture and a beautiful singing voice. They revere life and maintain the balance between living beings, which is almost a symbol of beauty.

In fact, after crossing over to this ghost place, I've been thinking: when will I meet a beautiful and shy elf girl, she made an exception to use the fairy method to turn me back into a human form, and then by chance I married her, and I got out of the group happily and smoothly.

"Don't move! Don't take another step!" Less than a hundred meters away, more than twenty elves were pulling their bowstrings and aiming at this side.

"The reality is so cruel! goodbye, my love, my dream, ...... woo"

The sound of swishing breaking through the air sounded, and a figure suddenly appeared on the stone door: "Get down!"

The voice was deep and low, steady and majestic, and I would be in awe just by listening to it, and Gu Lan and I hurriedly lay on the ground without saying a word.

A two-meter-long curved boomerang passed past our scalp, and my scalp felt a chill that I hadn't felt since I rode my bike up the 75Β° slope in sixth grade......

"Get out of the way!" the elves also began to dodge the boomerang, and it turned out that they were not the ones who had just attacked.

The elves are very skillful, and they dodge them one by one.

And then that's how the boomerang came to terms -- it came back. The momentum forward is still strong.

"Mom!"

"Keep your head down!" the magnetic male uncle's voice sounded again, and the figure above the stone door leaped in, and the heavy blow was received with its body but intact, standing there majestically, and the deep gaze that glanced back instantly conquered meβ€”and it only lasted for a moment.

The righteous man who helped the two of us block the oversized boomerang was a pig, a steel-armored pig covered in armor to be exact. Judging from the healthy pink flesh exposed through the cracks in the armor, there should be no chewiness of a wild boar......

"It seems to be a domestic pig, raised by someone. "I whispered to the Quran.

Guran didn't respond to my speculation, just looked back, which was the direction from which the attack was being sent. There was a man squatting on a large tree, wearing a bull-headed skull on his head, dressed in black leather armor, and holding a scimitar in his hand.

Gulen said to me, who was not very eyesighted, "There's a male dark elf over there, who looks like he's hostile to us, but he's only one person. ”

The lonely dark elves quickly withdrew, and the elves didn't leave, but stayed where they were, and basically ignored us except for one or two people who would look at us once or twice from time to time.

The Steel-Armored Pig who saved me and Guran asked, "Why did humans come to this forbidden land?"

"Well," he said, "I can't say I'm here to dig up your forbidden lands," Quran quickly came up with an excuse, "We're explorers, and we love to explore places and ruins off the beaten track. ”

"Humans are an intelligent race, and they will refrain from knowing that intellectual curiosity will put them in danger. But you obviously don't have this self-realization...... In other words, if you know that there is a problem but do not hesitate, you should have other plans, such as...... A sleeping relic in this Bloodline ruins. "This pig is still very smart, and directly questioned Guran's lies from the perspective of human nature, which shows that this pig knows more about humans than humans know about them.

If there was still room for lies, Guran would not hesitate to continue lying: "That's right, we encountered a battle between the elves during our expedition, so we changed our route and got lost, so we came here. I thought the stele was carved with a nearby route, so I observed it here for a while. Well, it's just that I didn't expect that there were elves fighting here, which was really unexpected. ”

The Steel-Armored Pig sighed, "I don't know how long this battle of the elves will last......" It paused slightly, then its eyes sharpened, and it looked at Gu Lan, "Qubble, although I don't know what your identity is, I can advise you to dispel the idea of a relic, it is harmful to you humans." ”

"Don't go, Pig Friend!" When the steel armored pig turned around and was about to leave, I suddenly rushed forward and said, "I'm your little friend and dog!"

Pig Peng looked at me with surprise in his eyes: "Is it a golden dog?" It knows me, but I don't know it, this should be considered famous, although it is in the livestock pen...... But this is a small step to fame, and of course a big step for Shiba Inu.

"Ah, I'm a talking animal like you," I would now like to ask how this seemingly large domestic pig can turn back into a human, "Were you a human before? Can you tell me how to change back?"

I don't know if it's because the brain capacity is not enough, but it was stunned for dozens of seconds in the face of my question before replying, "Oh! I rarely deal with humans, and I haven't mastered the illusion of transforming into a human form." In addition, I don't know what you mean by "crossing", and I don't know what you mean by "crossing" and I don't know what you mean by changing back......"

It replied to me kindly, but unfortunately I didn't get the answer I wanted, but the interesting thing was that the so-called "transfiguration of the human form" illusion made me write it down first.

"Forget it," it seems that the crossing side asked in vain, "Why did the dark elves on the other side attack us just now?"

The steel pig replied: "From a misunderstanding, elves generally don't deal with people, because you set foot in the forbidden land, he will attack and warn." ”

"This forbidden land?"

"Not 'this one,' but 'this,'" it said, raising a pig's trotter and pointing to the path opposite the stone gate, on which we were standing, "the road divides the whole forest into two parts, and the dark elves and elves live in one of them, and this path separates them, and treats each other's territory as forbidden land. The dark elves just now must have thought you were elves who crossed the boundary, so they attacked. ”

Generally speaking, most elves live in the deep mountains and forests and plant trees, but I didn't expect that the dark elves who always dig ravines, dig holes, and spend company with dwarves in the general sense also live in the woods. It's really a big bird, and there are all kinds of forests, and a forest can't accommodate them.

"Sabre-rattling, it seems that the relationship is very bad......"

"It's a long story, it's been a confrontation that has lasted for hundreds of years, and I've tried to get both sides to negotiate, but they all ended in failure, and the only time I ......" Steel-Armored Pig stopped talking, only sighed: "Don't waste your energy, it's all a thing of the past anyway." ”

It seems that there is a lot of going on here, and it would be a good opportunity to get involved, but who knows if there is any danger? I'm not a radical protagonist, and even if I did, I wouldn't care. However, Ye Daxia may be nosy...... No, he must be nosy, such a person is almost the center of chaos, and we must find and take him away before he can come into contact with the forest dwellers.

"Then I have to ask a question, do you know where the exit of this door is? We have to go to the exit to go back, it's very urgent. ”

"Why are you going there? It's not safe there, I rarely go there, and it's wrong for you to go there rashly. ”

Can you see that it cares about me, is it familiar? I asked the Qur'an with my eyes.

"Like the professor said, you're a beast. Gulan smiled and whispered back.

"I see, it turns out that it really is......" It seems that Herman is really not an ordinary person, I turned to Zhu Peng and said: "If it's dangerous, we have to go even more, the reason is very coincidental, it's because a friend ......" I skipped the main point, and simply said that Ye Ming played treasure and strayed into the ruins.

The steel armored pig thought for a long time and replied: "I didn't expect that the person staying next to the golden dog would be so unlucky, it's quite strange." ”

That's not bad luck, it should be considered death.

"As for the exit, I only know the general direction, walk south from here, you can see the elves' [City in the Forest], and then walk southeast for half a day. Steelhog motioned to the elves, "But the forest managed by the elves is not so easy to walk, and there will be a lot of confusing spells along the way. You can ask for their help, otherwise it will be difficult to get to the destination. ”

"What is the City in the Woods?"

Quran: "Refers to the area where forest elves live in the forest, and there will be one in every larger forest." ”

The steel armored pig said: "The city in the forest is full of elves' rune spells, and you had better have elves to lead the way." ”

I said to Gu Lan: "It sounds quite far away and very troublesome, could it be that Ye Ming has already had an accident when we reach our destination?"

"Well...... this"

The pig said for her: "Probably not, the partner chosen by the golden dog...... They must all be excellent, and they won't die so easily. Okay, it's time for me to go, Golden Dog, and I'll see you soon. ”

"Goodbye," I suddenly remembered that I didn't know its name yet, "what's your name?" ”

"Don't you know?" Steelhog turned back (it looked tough, he didn't even have a neck), "I'm Pig Friend." ”

It's really a pig friend!
