The unimaginable speed of the elven aircraft often confuses the passenger's grasp of distance and time, especially when they are in an enclosed cabin....

Therefore, at the end of the 90th year of the Rune Calendar, when the leader of the snake spirit ended her journey to the Northern Plateau for about a month and finally arrived at the elven headquarters, strictly speaking, she didn't even know where the northern plateau was, nor did she know the specific location of the Black Forest, let alone where the elven headquarters was located.

In this confusion, the aircraft carrying her arrived at the headquarters and anchored on the top of a mother tree, a specially developed take-off and landing platform.

"Let's go~ I'm home!"

Alama was excited, and she couldn't wait to take her friends to visit the elven kingdom and her own home.....

"Alama, don't forget the rules..... I don't want to pick you up in the confinement room anymore, understand? ”

"Understood, understood, then Captain, we're leaving? Alama is going to enjoy her vacation life! ”

"Okay...."

"Let's go, let the beautiful Alama and the equally beautiful Azra go to the whole headquarters!"

"Hey, hey! Don't run around with her... And remember to wait for the news from the ruling government, I should meet her in the next two days. ”

"Understand, she can't enter the impassable area, don't worry~"

~~~~~~~~

Bidding farewell to the warriors who had been guarding him all the way, Azra followed Alama out of the craft and onto the massive platform outside.....

The platform was high and empty, and the wind that was supposed to be there seemed to have forgotten it, except for the slightest breeze on her face.

Everything around him was in full view, and the leader of the snake spirit stood at the top and looked in all directions, and the endless forest in the distance came into view.

She involuntarily walked to the edge of the platform, and through the gap between the canopies, she saw a sea of dark green and purple gold.....

In the ocean, the tracks and bridges are scattered high and low, and the trains, the vehicles that have been seen in the previous months and more, are flashing away in them like swimming fish.

The number of elves in the city, at least to her gaze at this time, did not seem to be large, but Azra could feel their powerful, and similar strength;

These elves are obviously more to be reckoned with than the great enemies in her eyes, the core citizens of the Yin Species...

As she watched it all silently, Allama approached from behind;

She crept her chin down on the shoulder of the leader of the serpent spirit, who had consciously lowered a little, and the hot breath spewed out of her mouth and nose, tickling against Azra's cold scales;

Immediately, the elf quickly retreated like a thief, and after a sneaky glance behind him, he raised his eyebrows at a distance of a few centimeters, and asked proudly,

"How? The kingdom of our elves? ”

Twisting his neck and touching the scales on his shoulders with his cheek, Azra squinted in response as he felt the heat before the heat dissipated,

"It's beautiful.... It's also incredible. ”

Looking down again, the corner of the majestic city revealed through the cracks in the canopy was already showing her what it meant to be a 'country of darlings in the world'......

There is no doubt that this is a city beyond Azra's imagination, although it is not necessarily large in size, but the sense of space is extremely strong.

"Uh-huh! That's it! I'll take you around later..... But it seems that we have to wait a while, and there should be a consul who wants to see you in the next two days. ”

"Your king..... Is it your consuls? ”

Azra looked nervous, unsure of the future he and his people faced.

"Don't be afraid, they won't eat you, trust me, it'll be over soon........"

"yes, I see."

Later, Alama took a vacation, and under the captain's warning gaze, she temporarily left the warrior team, and after accompanying her new friend through the security check, and recording physical signs, she left the platform with her.

But along the way, there were also some episodes that weren't so pleasant for her.....

~~~~~~~

"Go to register first, and then let's go to my house~ You can live with me directly during the period."

"Is it okay? I'm an outsider after all...."

"It's okay, the headquarters is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and there is nothing wrong with it, and I didn't have ..... before"

"Nothing?"

"Uh... That's not important, go, go and record your signs first. ”

Alama avoided the topic with some weakness, after all, in many things, the concept of aliens and elves may not be the same, and she has suffered this loss before.....

"Okay....."

While walking, the two came to an area similar to 'foreign guest registration'.....

Walking to the branch terminal, Alama said to the already responsive device,

"Lady Azra of the Serpent Spirit Clan, there should be something in the mission, and I want to apply for a place to live for her."

"Checking.... Mission Marker.... Verified through, the center will serve you wholeheartedly. ”

"Very good, I applied for her to live with me~" Alama rubbed her palms and said with some anticipation.

"Please wait, the eligibility is being checked......"

After a few seconds, the screen suddenly lit up with a red light, and a mechanical sound sounded again,

"Your application has been denied, and Lady Snake Spirit will reside in the area allocated by the Hub."

"Why! Why not? ”

Alama was full of incredulity, when did she break the rules, why hadn't she heard of it?

"Please wait, the reason for the rejection is being ....."

"Hmph, if you can't say one, two, three, but you are good-looking."

Obviously, her threat didn't have any effect on the Hub, which was a branch of the system that took up very few threads......

So, when a few more blinks had passed, the mechanical sound, which was nice but also very empty, sounded again, and said in words without the slightest emotion,

"Upon inspection, you have a record of 3 violations of the relevant prohibitions, in accordance with the regulations in force in the Republic, Article 1. Strip... You will be prohibited from touching a lamp alone with a female foreign guest in an unsupervised private place for more than 10 years. ”

"Damn.... They can't control me outside, but don't they just care about the actions in the headquarters? Waste clause a ......"

"Coming soon to inquire about matters related to 'external control'......"

"Okay, okay, stop chattering! Apply for a place to live for the snake spirit leader, and do this. ”

"Mission Canceled... Mission change successful.... Optional areas are being summarized...."

"Please select ...... in the following areas"

"1st, 7th District, 4th Sector, 5th District, 1st Local Government, 31st Floor;"

"Second ....."

"Third ....."

"Isn't the 1-2-1-3-22 area okay?"

"We're sorry, but Zones 1-3 are restricted locations and cannot be used to accommodate foreign guests."

"Well.... Azra, where would you like to stay? This one is 31 floors, about 330 meters high, and this 23 story is ........"

"Huh? Didn't you say you wanted me to live with you? ”

"Uh.... Is this.... The ruling government has a problem in its brain, and the application is not approved.... But don't worry, I'll be moving next door to you for a while! ”

"Well.... Then I want to live in the 330 'Elf Mi' tall one! ”

"Okay, then choose this...... Let's pick 7-4-5-1-33. ”

"Please select the height of the room, the range of the zone can be defined here is 3-20 meters."

"10 meters high? Well, 10 meters is enough. Looking the female up and down, Alama responded.

"Please select the function of the room, optional configuration: kitchen, washroom, toilet, bathroom (fire and water branch), study, living room, bedroom, entertainment room, ......"

"Azra...."

"Huh?"

"You're going to the bathroom, aren't you?"

"You.... I.... I'm definitely going to go up...."

"Didn't I just in case, I've seen people who don't have to go to the bathroom..... By the way, do you want to cook your own meals? Also, these are all optional, which one do you want? ”

"I don't know how to cook.... The rest is enough for sleeping, bathing, and toilets. ”

"Well... You wait.... This, this, this..... Well, it's decided! ”

"Selected, room generating..... It is expected to be 250 square meters and 10 meters high....."

"Rationing content: lighting and temperature that meet the needs of the snake spirit, snake spirit diet, snake spirit language service terminal, limited video and audio channels for foreign guests, intercity rail travel card, control totem inscription ......."

"The room has been generated, the duration of the visitor's stay, and the external dispensing equipment will arrive within twenty minutes;"

After that, a hole opened in the wall, and a mechanical sound immediately sounded,

"Please put the inscription in, it is recommended to ...... it for your fingers"

"Get your hands in there, or you're going to be able to do nothing here."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, yes, it may hurt a little, you bear with it."

"Okay...."

The leader of the snake spirit put her left hand in, and then felt a faint tingling pain in a buzzing sound, and when she retracted her palm, she saw a dense pattern at the tip of her index finger.

"Wait a minute, the snake spirit individual terminal is being generated....."

After about five minutes, a familiar 'brick-shaped' device seen on Alama appeared through another opening;

However, unlike the former, the 'foreign guest terminal' does not seem to have a reserved external nerve slave port, but instead has some independent inscribed keys.

Azra took the 'bricks' from his friend, and saw the words on top of the buttons marked in a fine snake spirit language.

"I'll tell you, this is on, this is off, you have to press them with your index finger to have a reaction...."

Holding Azra's hand and using her index finger to turn on the machine, the female elf said tentatively to the light curtain,

"I want a ride." (Snake Whisper)

"The information of the audio source does not match, and the service cannot be given."

"Uh.... You say. ”

"I want a ride."

"Please select your destination and the hub will suggest the path for you."

"What should I say?"

"Say you're going to 7-4-5-1-33."

"Well.... I'm going to ......"

"Please turn left and go straight for 300 meters, take the vertical system to reach the 7th floor of the crown area, your physical information has been entered into the center, and you can control all the unrestricted devices in the headquarters with your fingerprint path."

"Haha! Let's go~"

The two females followed the instructions and left, and Alama continued to talk along the way......

"This thing is actually useless, at most it shows the way.... By the way, it can also be used to contact me, and the rest of the things can be done by the lines on your hand, such as making rail cars, going home to open doors, eating and drinking, watching video players, and so on. ”

As they spoke, they had reached the location of the 'elevator', entered it after being identified, arrived at the transit hub leaving the mother tree, and took the rail car to Alama's residence......

After all, although you can't stay in the unmonitored area for more than one light hour, it doesn't hurt to take her to see it~

When the rail car leaves the canopy area, the view of the city outside the transparent window becomes clearer......

Buildings flashed at high speed before the eyes, and the light squeezing in from the canopy took up only a small part of the daylight;

More light, after a lot of reflections, finally spilled from the intersection of the canopy and the trunk, and they shone on the dark green and purple-gold of the city, reflecting a magnificent but unremarkable glow.....

A serpent spirit and an elf soon arrived at the latter's abode in a convenient and fast transportation;

And looking at the surprisingly simple room inside, the snake spirit leader was disillusioned with the elves in some way.....

~~~~~~~

In order to facilitate the establishment of an overall defense system, the elves have been planning the city from a very early stage, and they have tended to open up on a smaller plane and have a larger use space, that is, at both ends of the upward and downward directions;

As a result, the headquarters has formed a huge underground storage and hub space, as well as dense and high surface buildings.

In the course of more than 100 years of development, the elves have gradually developed the habit of living in large settlements and small solitary lives.....

】

Elves who belong to a local government usually live in a large building, but if you look closer, you can see that even the registered 'companions' actually have their own separate residences, and they rarely share a private space with individuals other than pets.

However, since elves barely cook for themselves, have no childcare needs, and have no supporters, their dwelling structures are usually simpler and more elaborate.

Alama, for example, is one of the most typical females.......

Opening the door, a black blade-toothed beast that was much stronger than its wild brethren and more fond of sticky lake elves pounced on it, and then put its claws on Alama on her shoulder, and slammed into her face.

"Oh, oh, don't add it, why are you at home in Alama II? Didn't go to your boyfriend? ”

"By the way, you come in first, and then take a look, I'll coax this naughty girl first, I haven't seen her for a long time."

"Okay....."

Facing the wary eyes of the big black guy, Azra cautiously walked in from the rear and began to look at the residence of the 'darling of the world';

The unexpected smallness and simplicity are a little too big from what she imagined before.....

Compared to the overall beauty of the city outside and the sense of technology of the 'common architecture of the local government', Alama's residence is a little too inconspicuous.

Its overall shape is square, with a side length of about 20 elf meters, and a height of about eight elf meters, which also seems to be divided into bedrooms, bathrooms, toilets (washing), study rooms (powder room sharing), pet rooms and so on;

Although the clothes in the closet seemed to be extraordinarily gorgeous, and the shiny decorations on the dresser that she couldn't read made Azra blush, it was still too ordinary overall.

Well, if it weren't for 'every elf living in a palace', 'a horde of servants serving', and 'an endless stream of delicacies', it would have been at least bigger than your room in the swamp, right?

But look at this again......

"Alama, how do you live in such a small place? It's not as big as my place in the swamp....."

"What do you want to do that big? It was enough for me to stay with the two sisters Alama II. ”

Alama walked into the room, and the 'sister' beside her, who was 3 meters tall and nearly 6 meters long, was clinging to her, and still stared vigilantly at the strange 'guest snake'.

"Okay, you go out and don't scare my friend."

"Meow!"

"Good way~"

Finally coaxing the black blade-toothed beast away, Alama twisted her waist and walked to the snake spirit, wrapped her arms around its cold scales, and then casually explained as she pulled her to the bedroom,

"You see, I don't cook or work from home, so it's just a place to sleep, read a book, and I rarely even use the bathroom at home."

Azra did not resist, and as he walked obediently, he asked as he looked down,

"What about eating, exercising, bathing, and so on?"

"There are big cafeterias, big bathrooms, exercise rooms, bars, and dance halls in the local government, and almost all of us elves live in such places anyway, and no one thinks it's enough~"

"All of them? Are the consuls too? ”

"Of course, but it's just that the allocated space is so big, as for what kind of room to arrange, it's up to you...."

After a few steps, the bedroom had arrived, and the braid on the back of Alama was flicked into a hole, and in the blink of an eye the door appeared and opened.

The serpent's senses are not entirely dependent on the eyes, so she knew that there was a space here and the general layout of the interior, but when she actually came in, she found that there were still many things that did not appear in the 'thermal vision', such as the 'full-body portrait' hanging on the head of the big bed.....

In the portrait, it is a stout creature with blue skin;

Its face is hideous, with knotted muscles and muscles, but the sides of its mouth are barely closed, and there are two long, curved and tough fangs;

Overall, if it weren't for the untimely bulge on his chest, Azra wouldn't have been able to tell his gender.

She wondered why such a portrait hung in the room of a beautiful elf female.

That guy is even uglier and more fierce than Laiyin male?

So, naturally, she asked her doubts....

"What's that?"

"What's what?"

At this time, Alama was all focused on the beautiful female snake, and was fantasizing about how to 'play' later, so she didn't react immediately;

"I mean, why is it hanging here?"

Looking up and seeing the 'dream copy' on the wall, Alama flashed a little nostalgia in his eyes, and then said,

"That's who I used to be..."

"It's you?!

”

The female snake's face was full of incredulity, she turned her head to look at the portrait, and then looked up and down at the elven female who was unusually in line with her own aesthetics, and felt deep disbelief;

Of course, there is no reason for the other party to deceive himself, and it makes sense to hang a 'self-portrait' in the room, but it is too hard to imagine.

"Really?"

"yes, probably more than thirty years ago.... How's it going, isn't it fierce and heroic? ”

"This ..... I was a little frightened...."

"Scared? Isn't it fierce and heroic? ”

"Forget it... As if you haven't seen you, Azra just remembers you as you are..."

"Hah! It's up to you, so let's rest for a while? I'll take you to the big communal bath later. ”

"Hmm."

~~~~~~~~

After 58 minutes to enter the room, after 45 minutes to enter the bedroom...... At the dresser, Alama is helping a friend decorate.

15 minutes ago, while playing, she suddenly got up to her, thinking that it would look good to design a dress based on the elven style and the body structure of the snake spirit?

Therefore, she left the bed in the surprise and puzzlement of the snake spirit, and placed an order with the relevant elves (side jobs), asking them to design and make a set as soon as possible.

So, what Azra is now wearing is the unashamed clothing of the elves, which has an unusually small area of cover.......

"Hehe~ You're so good-looking...."

The purple-gold precious metal ornaments, as well as the delicate magic crystals and gemstones that had been processed, were decorated all over Azra's body by herself, and then she nodded with a smile and praise.

The female snake did not feel uncomfortable because of all this, but this delicate sense of dressing and the feeling of time spent in the process reminded her of the peak of the population when she was a child;

She remembered that wherever she was going, she would dress up first, only to be dressed up by a bunch of stupid and ugly (in her opinion) slave girls.....

Think about it again.....

'It's okay, as long as I come under the protection of the elves, I can get back to the life I used to have, and my people can live better.... That's right, that's it! ’

However, after all, she hasn't lived such a hypocritical life for many years, so at this time, she involuntarily had questions that she would never have before.

"Aren't we going to go to the big communal bath first? Isn't it in vain to dress up so carefully now....."

"So what, that's how you want to spend your vacation, it's okay, I'll help you draw it then."

"Well...."

"By the way, our habit is to take a mixed bath, can you accept it? I remember the snake spirits didn't seem to mind? ”

"It's okay, we don't care."

"That's good..... I'll tell you, I'm sure I'll try the flame bath later.... Oh, you can't come, so take a shower, that's fun. ”

"Flame bath? Is it fire to cleanse the body? ”

"Yes, it's going to be more lively, the elves rarely go to the water bath, it's a pity ....."

"Flames... How can a flame bathe? ”

"Anyway, we can just do it, and there are some monsters who will take a bath in the thunder battery... No, maybe it's practice. ”

Very good, in the eyes of the snake spirit, due to room problems, self-portrait problems, and slightly reduced points, the impression of the 'darling of the world' has recovered and exceeded the original ......

'Didi Di .....'

"Hub access, Azra, you have exceeded the one-hour limit, please enter the monitoring area immediately with foreign guests."

"Okay, okay, here it comes.... Stupid brains. ”

~~~~~~~~~~

In another sector of the Mother Tree, one of the 'monsters' in Alama's mouth, is practicing a different kind of practice.....

Inside a local government building, in the huge practice room, there is a specially built 'practice room' that has been applied for is in operation;

Metal wires wrapped in insulated skin were laid out in the ashram room, the other end of which ran through the wall and led somewhere, while the other end was traceable, all connected to a training cabin;

And inside the training cabin is our strong Mr. Giant Fang, who has long been at the apex of pure warriors among the elves......

At this time, he seemed to be engaged in a special 'bathing practice', through the transparent hatch, you could see the painful and sometimes soothing expression on his face, and his body was also intermittently convulsed violently.
