"By the way, can this kind of thing really be used as a drug?"

At that time, when Lin was buying, Xiwei wanted to complain very much, among the "medicinal materials" purchased for the elf woman, the others were relatively normal, but there was a box, but Xiwei didn't even want to touch it.

"This sticky wet worm is still alive...... It's disgusting to watch!"

Xiwei was skeptical that this curled and wriggling worm could be used as medicine. But since Lin said that there was no problem with this, then she could only bring it back with her.

Confused, Luna opens the box, also startled by what it contains.

"This ...... Lynn would know about this kind of thing......"

Luna's face became very bad, the constantly wriggling insects in the box seemed to infinitely show off their slimy fat bodies, if under normal circumstances, Luna's personality would not be afraid of such things, but she knew the actual use of this unsightly insect - when she thought of this, Luna also had a blue and purple face.

“...... Ahh

"Eh, Mr. Fisher, how did you go?"

It was the first time that Shevi had seen Fisher show such a blunt sense of resistance, and it was not difficult to see some look of fear and avoidance on his face—so, what was going on?

Is it because of the discomfort in his stomach? Sively seemed to hold his stomach when he saw Fisher leaving......

"Looks like that one ate the worm raw, right?"

"Raw...... Eat it raw!?"

Xiwei subconsciously took three steps back. I even wondered if I had hallucinated just now. She glanced again at the wriggling and twisting bugs in the box...... Isn't it? This kind of bug, which is two fingers wide, is not actually used for medicine. But...... Eaten raw!?

"It's called Gryllworm, and it's a very special creature that grows in the desert. In that barren land. This kind of insect has an unusually strong vitality, just such a worm, it carries more than five times the life energy of a cow...... Many times, this bug is a life-saving ration for people in distress in the desert. ”

Luna picked up a struggling bug with a twisted look on her face, and put it in her mouth with a frown......

Click.

Sivi shuddered as she looked at the worm, which was bitten in two by Luna, and even burst out of the crack with quite a bit of pulp, and the remaining half of the worm's body. She was still writhing in Luna's hands—a sight that made Sivi feel her stomach churn.

(Chew Chew)

Luna closed her eyes and frowned, apparently the feeling of eating this big bug raw didn't make her feel very comfortable. Especially when she swallowed, Luna really felt like she was swallowing a burning fireball in her throat.

"This ...... What does this stuff taste like?"

Xi Wei didn't know why she suddenly said such a sentence, but anyway, her consciousness was a little numb at this time - the friends who are not very psychologically resistant, when they saw Bei Ye's video, they would throw away the eel rice of the forty oceans that had just been sent in horror. What's more, someone makes on-the-spot praise in front of him?

In response to Syvi's answer, Luna just looked at the half of the worm that was left in her hand...... However, it was handed to Sivi.

"Do you want to eat it? The taste is still relatively light - the taste and texture of cactus, if you put aside the psychological burden. Actually, it's just a little astringent. ”

“...... No, it was purchased for Miss Luna...... Supplements, so I must not take even a little bit of it!"

Regardless of whether the cactus smell is real or not, Xiwei absolutely does not have the courage to do so anyway. Check out the authenticity of this!

"That's a shame......" Luna tossed the remaining half of the worm into her mouth, holding back the nausea in her heart. It took a lot of effort to swallow a worm. However, this kind of desert-living insect is really not flattering. But the effect was just as effective as the legend had - Luna had begun to feel a lot of energy pouring into her limbs and bones in her parched body.

"Miss Luna, you're getting a nosebleed!"

"Normal, after all, the body is a little weaker, and the energy of this Gryllworm is a big burden for me. ”

Generally speaking, you must stop blindly taking tonic at this time, otherwise it will be very harmful to the body, but Luna is not vain, although her nose is still bleeding, she still reaches out and grabs the second bug.

"Well, have you ever had such an experience? Obviously, I am very disgusted with one thing in my heart, but because of the actual need, I have to do it...... By the way, can you give me some cotton or tissues? The blood is dripping on the ground. ”

"Why do you keep gnawing on these bugs!?"

"Because the life energy contained in this bug is different from the healing effect of other drugs - it can reawaken my debilitating power. The energy of a Gryllworm is enough for my body, but not enough to restore my strength. ”

This strange insect is closer to the crystallization of the life energy born naturally in nature than living things. In terms of energy conversion and utilization efficiency, it even surpasses many rare treasures. And the power of the Elven Tome, which Luna needs to reawaken most now, can only be reawakened with this essence of life energy.

Otherwise, you'll have to wait slowly - now that Luna is no longer the first priority user of the Elven Tome, she can't use it anymore if she doesn't recover.

[Lin actually knows that this thing can relieve my urgent needs...... Many of the other herbs are also used to help treat some of the negative effects of Gryllworm. 】

- So Lynn is hinting at something to herself?

Under normal conditions, Luna would have taken about a week to recover. Only then can he be basically healed and recover to about eighty percent of his strength at the normal level. It will take about a little time for the power of the Elven Tome to be reactivated. But apparently, Lynn didn't think she had that much time left.

"That...... Miss Luna, are you really okay with your body?"

Xiwei looked at Luna's nose very worriedly, it didn't take long for the cotton she had just given her to be completely dyed red, this kind of bleeding didn't look like the usual "lack of replenishment", right?

"When my strength recovers, it's nothing. ”

......

So you can't talk too much.

The identity of this elf lady is still classified as a secret in this human realm, and it is impossible for Xiwei to casually ask two maids to come over to help...... And the people who could have helped, the head maid and Lin were not here, and the old butler's identity as a man was a little embarrassing...... In the end, as the eldest lady of this family, Xiwei was very reluctant to do the work of handyman.

"Miss Luna?"

Glancing at the elf woman lying on the bed "dying", Xiwei asked tentatively: "The medicine you told me to suffer is almost ready." ”

"Well, thank you -- it really showed you my shameful side, it turns out that I was a herbalist back then. I didn't study very well. ”

It wasn't until her body lost consciousness that Luna remembered that it seemed that this kind of insect with a great tonic function had eaten too much. It will have a special effect of paralysis.

"Miss Luna is in such a hurry to regain her strength?"

“...... Well. For this girl who looks very similar to Sheena, and I don't know if there is a relationship between the two parties, Luna is not very stingy with her words. "It's okay to have a bad feeling of unhappiness...... I have to do my best to restore some strength. Even if it's only half. ”

But now it seems that maybe I am not calm enough, because I am worried about the time I have been injured. Whether Lilou would encounter any accidents, Luna was really a little too anxious just now.

"Is this the elf's sixth sense?"

"To be honest, I'm not a big fan of relying solely on intuition to judge things, but your city is so uncomforting. ”

The huge darkness that is gradually showing signs of becoming active is like a time bomb, and if you are not careful, this huge imperial capital may encounter a catastrophe. However, Luna wouldn't be too nervous if it was just that, but Luna was really uneasy when she thought of the war of aggression that the humans had launched against the elves.

"Just now, do you remember the 'seed' I planted for you? it was the seed of a World Tree, although it is impossible to really grow into the Second World Tree, but these seeds also have the power to suppress evil, and in your body, I just found that a trace of darkness was implanted. ”

The breath of darkness?

Xi Wei suddenly thought of what happened to him at the entrance of the alley.

“...... That...... What's going on here?"

"A very hidden and stubborn dark mark, although I can find it, but before I know the specific information of this dark mark, I can only send you a World Tree seed to temporarily suppress it - you see, even a noble girl like you, whose adoptive father is a dark magician, has been planted with this kind of thing unconsciously, can I not be nervous?"

The most important thing is that the faint smell of darkness on Xiwei's body is basically the same as the dark power she felt under the city, just like that.

"Was it planted at that time? Or is it ...... ...... a long time ago"

Xiwei's first reaction was that he was marked by the other party when he was attacked, but when he thought of that time, the other party had expressed a strong purpose to himself - what if he had been targeted by the other party a long time ago?

Will it be and...... Is it related to the part of the memory that I lost?

"Huh, you seem to have some clues?"

Sylvie nodded silently.

Luna dragged her still slightly paralyzed body and sat up from the bed, "Sive, can you come over for a moment." Reach out to me? Yes, the hand I planted the seed in you. ”

Luna took Syvi's hand. Fingers flicked over the location of the World Tree seed buried in the back of her hand—a faint green glow began to spread from the back of Shevie's hand towards her body.

"Don't be nervous. Take it easy and let them cover your whole body. ”

In fact, it's a bit difficult to really get nervous, right? Xiwei found that although it was a little scary at first glance, in fact, the green light that spread to her whole body did not bring her any uncomfortable feeling, on the contrary, this strange feeling of warmth and coolness made her feel very comfortable.

It seemed that the body relaxed in an instant. Blended in......

"There's nothing unusual about your body. ”

The forces of nature swept through Shevi's body, and Luna couldn't find anything wrong, "That dark mark isn't on your body, it's on your soul...... Well, how is that possible? It goes straight over the body, leaving no marks on the body, but on the soul?"

Everyone's soul is indeliblely connected with their own **, and wanting to cross ** directly engraved on the soul is tantamount to starting to build a castle in the air without building a foundation.

“...... Syvi. Perhaps the question is a bit abrupt—has there been any special condition in your soul in the past?"

For a young girl's soul, it is impossible for Luna to directly ask to check such a building. Check the body or something, the relationship is better. It's the same woman, and neither Shevi nor Luna will be embarrassed, but it's different when it comes to souls.

The soul that hides countless things that can be attributed to "privacy". Present it to others, even if it is a very close friend. It's hard to say this calmly, right?

Sivi wanted to shake her head and say she didn't know, but. The memories of the first time she and Lin met couldn't help but come back to me at this time.

If she remembered correctly, Lynn had wanted to say that there was something wrong with her soul...... It seems that at that time, Lynn was still "kind" to help herself, what did she do?

- Eh, could it be Lynn in her own soul......

A dangerous thought unconsciously arose in Sivi's heart. Although Shevi instinctively wanted to deny it, at the same time, a voice, also her own, suddenly sounded.

[Why do you want to protect that girl so much?Who is she, but you've only known each other for a few days, and you have such a trust in Cheng Dù? Don't you think...... Isn't it a little weird......]

“......”

"Sivi?" Luna touched Sivi's forehead with some confusion, this action immediately dispelled Sivi's inner activity that gradually became agitated, "What's wrong with you? Did you think of something bad? A lot of sweat flowed from your forehead just now......"

"I ...... I don't know what happened. ”

Sylvie tried to hide her heart, holding her forehead with her hand, but also covering her eyes to prevent Luna from seeing her eyes - Sylvie was almost certain that there must have been a look of doubt and distrust in her pupils, right?

Truly...... My trust in Lynn, a mysterious girl, seems to ...... When you think about it, it's a bit sudden, isn't it?

“...... Hmm!"

Syvi suddenly covered her forehead and let out a low wail.

"What were you thinking!?"

Luna nervously grabs Syvi's hand so that they can no longer cover their master's eyes, while Luna looks straight into Syvi's eyes with unusual crispness.

"Look me in the eye!"

[Don't trust others casually! This elf is the same! It's already a person in his twenties, why don't you still have any sense of self-defense? Have you forgotten that you were almost drunk and did something bad because you were gullible in the first place?

"Wow!"

Shevi only felt a thump on her forehead, and she couldn't help but exclaim—and when she looked into Luna's eyes again, she was at a loss herself—eh, what did I just do?

Sivi felt as if she had suddenly woken up from a dream, and although she knew that she had had a dream, she could no longer recall the details of the dream. This is the situation now, she instinctively feels that she seems to have been disturbed by some external force just now, but she can't recall her thinking at that time.

Sure enough, that thing inadvertently affects your thinking and judgment. ”

Luna's face was gloomy and terrifying, and she stared at Sive's eyes, her pupils full of majesty...... Staring at these eyes, Xiwei suddenly had an inexplicable feeling of relief.

"What happened to me......

"Look at the back of your hand for yourself. ”

Following Luna's instructions, Sylvie noticed on the back of her hand that the pale green glow around the "seed" had been infected with a hint of black. However, from the "seed" in the center, there is a steady stream of green flowing outward, gradually neutralizing the unusually dazzling black color little by little.

"Are these blacks ......?"

"Well, this proves that your mind was 'kidnapped' by some dark being—how about it, have you forgotten what you thought at the time?"

"Eh, Miss Luna, how do you know......"

Sivi was worried that telling the truth would make Luna think that she was prevaricating her, but she never expected that Luna had already guessed this layer herself.

"Because it knows that its hints and effects on you, once you perceive it, will no longer have any effect, so it will do everything in its power to avoid being discovered by the sober you - hum, a very cunning opponent. (To be continued......)
