Chapter 269: Pi Cheng and the Fairy Cafe
Elle and Artoria signed their names in the cockpit of the army's airship before leaving to the cheers of the crowd.
"Little Elle and Leah are so popular......" Costa looked at the two girls and scratched his chin with envy.
"Little Kusta is cute too!" Elle said with a smile. "Speaking of which, if the future series can be completed, Kusta, you can also choose a role!"
"Serial? That's the kind of thing...... Well, if I have time...... I'd like to," Costa said hesitantly.
Elle and Costa had a good chat, and Zhao Tianhe also pulled Pixie out of his back bag.
"This guy is so heavy! I'm afraid I won't be able to carry it if it were the same as before......" Zhao Tianhe looked at the fat in his hand and shook twice with a surprised face.
Pixie has grown to the height of a human child, and now that he has gained weight again, he doesn't seem to know what kind of creature he is...... And what's even stranger is that she has been sleeping a lot lately, sleeping for a day, and eating when she wakes up.
After being shaken twice by Zhao Tianhe, Pixie woke up for a while, but yawned and fell asleep again.
"I originally wanted her to see her old friend, but now it seems impossible......" Zhao Tianhe looked at Pixi's state, his brows furrowed.
Pixie was quite lively for a while, and he was able to eat and play as usual, but he has been very lazy in recent days.
And Zhao Tianhe recalled that before Pixie appeared in this situation, he seemed to tell her that his body had healed, and he didn't need her to use the power of fairies to treat him in the future, so he didn't have to eat like this every day to accumulate energy.
Picksy's reaction was quite intriguing, as she didn't say anything nonsense, just nodded, then closed her eyes and pondered for a while before saying, "Since you're ready, it's time for me to get ready too." ”
Thinking back to his skills that had evolved again because of Rainbow Heart, as well as Artoria and Elle, Zhao Tianhe's instinct told him that Pixie was about to reveal her true colors!
'Could it be that you really are the legendary Elven King?!' But ......' Zhao Tianhe thought of the man Lei Qi who claimed to be a natural goblin hobby and protection club, he said that it is impossible for nature elves to degenerate, and all categorically denied the identity of Pixi, and later Zhao Tianhe also checked the relevant books, and the results were basically the same as what Lei Qi said.
In addition, in the past hundred years, there has not been a single case of the appearance of the elven king, and the reason is unknown......
Zhao Tianhe thought about it and didn't have a clue, so he had to put Pixi back into the backpack behind him.
This pet backpack has a built-in small curing space, as well as an air filtration and purification circle and a thermostatic circle, and is a high-end item that costs one gold.
The first stop of Zhao Tianhe's trip was naturally the refugee shelter in Rogue Town, but since there are many vacant properties left over from the past overdevelopment in Phi City, this is more of a shelter street than a shelter.
As soon as he stepped into this street, Zhao Tianhe caught a glimpse of an acquaintance, Liu Caier.
This little girl also saw Zhao Tianhe, only to see that she first covered her mouth and was startled, and then opened her arms and rushed towards him!
'Humph! Thinking about it carefully, I am also a celebrity, and I can get a soft ......hand just for the medal and certificate' Zhao Tianhe smiled slightly, and greeted him very calmly......
"Sister Artoria!"
However, Liu Caier pounced on Artoria's body, making Zhao Tianhe, who was just about to open his hands, stand in place with some embarrassment.
"I miss you so much! This bullshit guy in Leather City doesn't believe I know you! Liu Cai'er glared at Artoria with a pair of big clear eyes and complained. I'm a professional, so I can't tell my sister's identity, but those guys are too much! What a Leather City! How dare you say that we are in the countryside! ”
Artoria glanced at Zhao Tianhe next to her, who had adjusted his posture to fold his hands on his hips.
In fact, I don't blame Liu Caier for being like this, after all, no matter which time Zhao Tianhe was commended in the past, it was Ai Lei and Artoria who accepted the award on his behalf.
At first, it was just by chance, for example, in Saint-Ville and the island of Bal.
After that, it wasn't, it was all deliberately done by Zhao Tianhe and the military department, just to make Ai Lei increase her popularity.
Therefore, compared to Artoria and Elle, Zhao Tianhe's popularity is close to no ...... even in Rogue Town
Even most people have forgotten about Zhao Tianhe as a person......
So what happened after that was that Artoria and Elle were all over the place, and countless people were vying for autographs, while Costa and Zhao Tianhe were in charge of maintaining order.
The situation was not until the bald mage Ryan and the others appeared, and they were naturally aware of Zhao Tianhe's situation, although they had never understood why there was a situation where the summoned object was more famous than the person concerned.
They helped keep order and did it all, so that everyone could get together and have a chat.
"I see, it's really dangerous!" After hearing Ryan's account, Zhao Tianhe realized that they were the first witnesses to witness the changes in the Slime Cave.
"It was dangerous, but it seemed like something was going on at the bottom of the cavern, and it caused a pause in that proliferation so we could escape." Ryan nodded and said.
He was talking about the scene when the unknown being emerged from the ground and emptied the three floors, but it was precisely because of what the man did that the Slime Cave would erupt more completely.
"Anyway, what's the matter with you? It's true that Elle and Miss Artoria have the qualifications to become idols, but ...... How come you didn't even get a chance to show your face? Ryan finally couldn't resist asking the question.
"No, Brother Zhao showed his face before." Liu Tie on the side interjected. "It was reported that he was a little white-faced member of the same team, close to the water, and the building was the first to get the moon, and the public enemy of the whole people or something......"
Liu Tie is talking about the scene at the banquet when Artoria Alter broke out, when he was really explosive, and many people wanted to send him a blade, but unfortunately few people knew his specific name and address.
"Shut up, you idiot!" Ryan slapped Liu Tie on the back of the head and scolded.
Seeing this, Zhao Tianhe smiled bitterly and told part of his experience, and asked about the situation of other people by the way.
"I see...... Brother Zhao, it's not easy for you! Ryan sighed and shook his head. Most of the others have gone to other cities, after all, this kind of rural place would have chosen to leave if I hadn't been born here myself, and I would have chosen to leave, right? Although they are all dungeons, the places with the bustle are always more suitable for development, right? ”
The profession of the brave has never been hereditary, and if you don't have adaptability, you can't do it.
And although there is now a talent spell that is an anti-heaven technology, if you are not talented enough, it is not just a matter of money if you want to schedule the transformation of talent spells!
Therefore, the brave should also plan for their next generation, and a good city will always have a better environment and opportunities.
After everyone chatted for a while, Zhao Tianhe set a time for dinner with them and went to Zuoxing Street.
After searching for a while, they asked the locals about the location of the fairy café.
The Leprechaun Cafe is located in a very remote alley, which is generally not open to the public, and is the meeting place of the Leather City Natural Leprechaun Hobby and Protection Club. However, they are not averse to people coming in to see and read some materials, provided that the rules are followed, of course.
Zhao Tianhe found this remote café, which has only a small door, and the decoration is old but not dilapidated, giving people a sense of tranquility and longevity.
But as soon as he pushed the door in, a series of laughter broke the sense of tranquility.
I saw a group of children playing among the tables, chairs and benches in the house, and when they saw Zhao Tianhe and Kusta appearing, they ran back to the back.
Because Artoria's identity is too obvious and easy to cause all kinds of trouble, Zhao Tianhe did not summon them to go along, after all, this is not to fight the more people the better, he just wants to ask Pixie about the situation.
"Daddy! Dad! Someone's coming! To the noise of the children, a bloated middle-aged, balding man walked out from behind the bar.
"Well, it's really rare, in addition to the children, there will be non-member ......" The middle-aged man glanced at Zhao Tianhe and Kusta, thought about it and sighed.
'Do you think Kusta and I are brother and sister?' Zhao Tianhe looked at Kusta beside him and pondered.
But in fact, the middle-aged man thought they were father and daughter......
"Pretty young lady, do you want to see this? This book is very interesting, and the people in it will move! A tall blonde boy looked at Costa and excitedly invited, it seemed that this kid had a promising future.
"Huh? Me? Kousta paused and pointed at himself.
The boy nodded hurriedly, and a small child on the side also came over with a picture album.
It seems that Cousta is still very popular among minors.
Zhao Tianhe didn't have time to pay attention to such a trivial matter, so he just walked over to the middle-aged man and said what he meant.
"Did Lei Qi introduce you? Well, I seem to have an impression of you, I see, is there something wrong with your Wood Elf? The middle-aged man named Barton asked with a frown. If you get fat, it's actually not unusual, and lethargy is not a big deal, after all, they are magical immortal species...... Anyway, let me see it first. ”
Wood elves are the ancient name of natural elves, and they are the honorific names of forest elves for them, because the forest elves of that era were simple and primitive for beauty, and the more simple and simple they were, the greater they were, and the closer they were to the original.
Of course, that's not the case anymore, that's why it's changed to Nature Elves. Nowadays, the name only appears in the mouths of such like-minded people, and the reason is naturally to improve the compulsion when explaining to others......
Zhao Tianhe nodded and took Pixi out of his backpack.
"......" Barton, a middle-aged man, looked at Pixie and was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Tianhe asked with some curiosity. "Didn't you say it's normal to get fat and drowsy?"
"You...... You call this getting fat?! Barton pointed at Picsi, his fingers shaking. My mother-in-law usually calls this fermentation! Anyway, is this a wood elf?! ”
It's no wonder Barton is so excited, because Pixie's appearance is indeed a bit exaggerated.
The fat flesh propped up her strange well-cut tights into a small tank top and shorts, and the fat that flowed out became four large segments of flesh that covered most of her hands and feet, and her belly bulged even more exaggeratedly. The originally sweet and lovely little face is now trapped in a large mass of fat, making it difficult to see the facial features, and the pointed little ears have become fat and long, like rabbit ears.
"This ......" Zhao Tianhe looked at Picxi in his hand, and was a little speechless for a while.
He couldn't prove that Pixie was a Wood Elf......
"I didn't lie to you, she really is!" Zhao Tianhe said with a wry smile. "Aren't you guys very professional? Why haven't you even seen this? ”
"I'm sorry, I didn't know this time!" Barton said, shaking his head. "But I have a way of knowing if she's a wood elf...... Anyway, her size is not right, right? Could it be that it has grown? But it's impossible......"
"How could it not be? I remember Lei Qi said that natural spirits can grow, and the book also says so, could it be that there is a hidden secret? Zhao Tianhe asked with some curiosity.
"Of course there is, and it's a big secret." Barton nodded. "First of all, you have to understand one thing, that is, although the wood elves are immortal species, they often die, but they are also intelligent creatures and can understand what death represents, so in essence, they are still very afraid of death!"
"Oh, that's nature." Zhao Tianhe nodded and asked again. "So what? What does this have to do with growth......"
Speaking of which, Zhao Tianhe also had a reminiscence.
"Yes, once they grow, the wood elves are no longer immortal, and even if they eventually become elven kings, they have a lifespan limit." Barton said with a sigh. "And the most important thing is that not every wood elf can grow to the level of the elf king, and most of them will die halfway, so the wood elves have made a pact, that is, they would rather die than never grow!"
"Of course, there are some other shady and mysteries in between, but that's not something I can touch......" Barton shook his head, opened the small door of the bar next to him, and beckoned to Zhao Tianhe. Come on, let me determine if you're a wood elf or not. ”
Zhao Tianhe walked over, followed Barton to open the small door of the kitchen at the back and walked into a small courtyard.
This small courtyard is different from the café in front, the light is very good, and from the architectural form, it seems to be a courtyard house.
In the middle of the courtyard was a pergola crawling with vines, and Zhao Tianhe saw at a glance the one that Barton was confident that he could 'identify' Pixie.
Because a wood elf in his early tens, with long green hair, and wearing a tightsuit of unknown material, was lying on the back of a large squirrel on his side!
"Hey! Arathi! Barton shouted to the wood elf. Get down! There is your 'kind'! ”
"Oh, if you want me to sign an autograph, make an appointment first......" The wood elf named Arati scratched his ass and rolled over. This star business is very busy......"
Between the words, that inexplicable sense of nonsense is indeed very similar to Pixie.
Seeing this, Zhao Tianhe didn't speak, but just cast a spell and floated to the wood elf with Pixi.
"Do you know her? This state ......" Zhao Tianhe pointed at Pixie and was about to speak, but he saw that the wood elf named Alati in front of him had already pointed at Pixi with his mouth wide open and shouted with a frightened expression.
"Big man! It's stupid big guy Pixi! ”
"Oh? Do you know her? So you know what's going on, right? Zhao Tianhe continued to ask with a look of surprise.
"Who doesn't know?! How could anyone else not know the stupid big man Pixi! Arati shouted excitedly. You're human! Humans don't recognize stupid big men anymore! How sad she is! She tossed us enough when she was you! ”
"Huh?!" Zhao Tianhe and Barton on the side were stunned when they heard this.
"Slowly, slowly!" Barton's mouth was wide open, and he slowed down for a moment before he looked at Foxy and asked aloud, with some horror. "What do you mean, Arati?! This wood elf is also called Pixie, right?! But why call her stupid big man?! And what does she mean by 'you'?! ”
"Huh? Little Barton...... Speaking of which, I'm also a tenth, hundredth, ten-millionth mother. Arati proudly stopped in the air, and then said very unhappily. I've made it so clear, do I need to be more careful? There are a lot of Pixi, but the stupid big guy Pixie is only one! ”
"That's the elven king who created your human race, the head of the thirteen ancient elf kings, 'Pixi'!"
'Is it the Elven King?' Zhao Tianhe looked at the lump in his hand, not too surprised, because he had already prepared for it.
Barton on the side was so frightened that he collapsed directly to the ground, watching Pixie just stupidly open his mouth and not knowing what to say.
This is basically equivalent to God appearing in front of the devout believers of that religion, or the janitor basking in the sun downstairs of your house suddenly becomes the god of Pangu.
The members of the Natural Fairy Hobby and Protection Association must have a little admiration for this magical existence that created all intelligent life, otherwise they would not have made such an organization, but if they really let them see Allah, the situation is not much better than Ye Gong seeing the dragon.
Zhao Tianhe is different, Pixie is just a lifesaver for him, and there is no worship at all, and gratitude is indeed a lot.
"So, what's her condition?" Zhao Tianhe ignored Barton's situation on the side, and just continued to ask this question with some impatience.
