The sunset is beautiful.

Afra took a sneak peek and saw that the visitors were a man and a woman, both of whom were long and well-groomed. She couldn't help but wonder for a moment.

Illo and Alex, what are you doing here?

But doubts are doubts, and it's always good that someone comes. The little girl raised her hand, and was about to withdraw the invisible spell taught by Rod, and opened her mouth to call for help, but she saw the rag doll in her hand shaking her head again and again, signaling her not to act rashly.

That...... Just wait a while.

Afra also felt a little embarrassed to interrupt others abruptly, so she stopped what she was doing. Rhodes, who was hiding in the puppets, finally breathed a sigh of relief, he had just escaped, and he didn't want to be pulled back by the half-elf rangers.

"Where have you been these days?" Illo's voice came from afar.

"I'm looking for Deathknell," Alex sighed after a pause, "but I searched the surrounding area and found nothing. ”

"It doesn't have to be like this," Seeing that there seemed to be a look of self-reproach on his face, Illo shook his head and said, "This is my responsibility, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

"In any case, it's all my own fault that I left Miss Bai Ji there without permission. Alex insisted.

"Even if you stay there, you won't be able to change anything," Illo said softly, "with the strength of the 'death knell', I might be able to take you away." ”

"It's better like that......" Alex didn't answer, but in the bottom of his heart, he sighed secretly. She and Illo both had a good impression of each other, and before this incident, although they often quarreled and quarreled, their feelings were constantly heating up. But after Bai Ji's accident, there was an invisible diaphragm. But let them quickly evacuate.

Now, for example, Illo stood an arm's length away from her, looking polite, but completely devoid of the sense of harmony that he used to have.

"You...... Is there anything else?" the half-elf stood with his hands in his hands, and he looked at the glow in the sky. Slowly dimmed, he finally spoke.

Seeing that Illo was about to leave, she took a deep breath and directly provoked, "Illo, you actually don't like Bai Ji. Isn't that right?"

"Why do you ask this?" Illo was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked rhetorically.

"Answer me. Alex turned, staring at him.

"Yes, you're right," the half-elf replied silently for a long time, "so what?"

"On me. Dragons," Alex waited for the answer. But there was no joy on her face, she turned her face away, and said quietly, "Therefore, my lifespan is twice as long as that of ordinary people, if I remember correctly." I'm forty-nine years old......"

"I'm three years older than you. Illo interrupted her softly, the lifespan of a pure-blood elf can reach three hundred to four hundred years old, even if he only has half of the elven blood in his body, he can live to be more than one hundred and fifty years old.

"I heard you were very young. Just left the Forest of Whispers and traveled outside?" Alex asked casually.

"Well," Illo nodded, "I was kicked out of the tribe at the age of twenty, and until then I had been hidden by my mother in the hollow of a dead old tree. ”

"Have you ever fallen in love with a human?" asked Alex cautiously.

"What about you?" Illo looked sideways at her, and the two of them looked at each other, and at the same time, they noticed a faint pain in each other's eyes.

Distance is the mortal enemy of love.

But how can the thousands of rivers and mountains in the spatial dimension withstand the birth, old age, sickness and death in the time dimension?

When the party in the prime of life sees his lover dying and aging, but he is powerless to reverse and change, that kind of pain and torture is enough to discourage a race.

"That's why you're deliberately alienating Ados?" Illo asked in a low voice, retracting his gaze.

"Ados?" Alex was stunned for a moment, before remembering that it was Dalgnan's pseudonym, and she stroked the silk scarf on her wrist and replied, "Yes, but not all, how can I pull him from a child to the age he is now, and he is both a friend and a teacher, how can there be such a thing as love." ”

"I'm afraid he wouldn't think so. Illo said lightly.

"What do you mean?" Alex snorted when he heard what he was saying, "And what about you and Bai Ji? She's much younger than you, isn't she?"

"Much younger, I'm even older than her father. Illo nodded, the barbarians are a notoriously short-lived race, with violent blood and aggressive nature, most of them will not live to be fifty years old.

"She has a good impression of you," Alex said quietly, recalling the past, "The girl's love is just beginning, but she doesn't know how to speak, and you are so ...... , and she fell deeper and deeper. ”

She omitted something from her words, but Illo knew what it meant. When he was bored, the half-elf ranger often teased the girls in the river valley, and he was merciful everywhere, not only Bai Ji, but many girls secretly agreed to him.

In the past, Illo thought it was very funny, but now that he thinks about it, he regrets it.

"Well, I'm sorry for her," the half-elf sighed and swore an oath, "even if it's all against odds, I'm going to snatch Kathage back from the Death Knell." ”

"I'll help you. Alex took a slight step towards him.

Illo didn't answer, but his feet moved quietly, still keeping the distance between the two. Alex was not at fault for being kidnapped by the evil gods, and he liked the latter more than ever, but so what?

One life and death are uncertain, the other is safe and sound, if he is with Alex like this, how will he face his own heart, how to face the criticism of others? The mustard in his heart will torment the two of them day and night, until the former deep affection has turned into wordless resentment.

The brilliance in the female killer's eyes was immediately extinguished. She stood there for a long time, and said a little blankly, "Then, I'll go first......"

"There will be a period later. Illo's heart suddenly ached. He arched his hand and did not hold back.

Alex bit her lip and turned away, she walked through the woods and across the grassy slopes, the moonlit scarf on her wrist fluttering gently in the evening breeze after the rain.

"Since I'm sorry for one, I'm sorry for the other......" When its figure disappeared completely, the half-elf lowered his head and muttered to himself. As night fell, his mind was so disturbed that he didn't notice any movement behind him, so he swept down the hill and headed for the town outside the valley.

Stunned, Afra finally saw the speed of the upper ranger, she retracted her half-stretched hand, and her little face was full of sorrow.
