Like many other words, the word "elf" that is now used in the languages of the human world was coined by the Lamanite language. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although its pronunciation is derived from the Romanization of the name elves in the Wizarding language, the meaning existed long before the Empire existed. But over the course of its long history, depending on the period, the Lamanites have gradually given it many different meanings than they originally were. Just as the vast and profound Eastern empire was its own culture, the term has now become a polysemous term.

The Lamanite word for "ni" has the meaning of "like, like" and "belongs to this thing", and when it is combined with the elves to become "alphani", the word becomes suitable to describe everything soft and beautiful.

There are three types of sunny days in the main city of Parnilla, with a scorching and sunny sunny day and a not-so-bright cloudy day. And in between, the less spicy but still sunny days of the past, the citizens of Parnilla would call it in the Lamanite language: "Un-Alfanie Kirone".

This rich culture can only be appreciated by those who are born and raised here, and its ubiquity throughout the Lamanite language further makes the language - and let us quote a Lamanite pun - "easy to learn, hard to learn" a language that is not so friendly to gentles.

Although humble and enthusiastic on the surface, they could not shake off the pride of the thousand-year-old Eastern Empire in their bones. An East Coast native can tell where you're from by the accent and the diction, and no matter how well you disguise yourself, these slang terms that require a common culture to understand aren't just readable - but let's get back to square one.

The word "elf" obviously has a very beautiful meaning in the Lamanite language. And with the export of Lamanite culture to quite a few parts of the world, many people who have never come into contact with elves also have an inexplicable affection for these races, which are much better than humans in terms of appearance.

But if you go to the origin of human nature, who is not like this?

Of the five races, dwarves have the most contact with humans, but among human societies, it is elves who have the most reputation and the highest degree of attention - in the final analysis, it is related to appearance.

The fluffy orcs are confined to the Kursimu region in the western part of the continent, and although their women are also delicate and cute, only a few people can accept the existence of staring at a cute face and tearing the prey with their claws.

The remaining gnomes and dwarves, the short, stout of the latter, were similar in appearance to those of human children under the age of 12, and with the exception of a few people with unique tastes, they were clearly outside the hunting range.

By elimination, the elves are the closest to humans, and at the same time they have the appearance that the entire race is superior to humans.

The children of nature, who roam the forests all year round, are the ones who love the light, obesity and tanning in the sun, and the elves have nothing to do with them. And their every move – at least in the human mind – becomes so graceful and glamorous underneath their appearance.

To be in a daze is to stare thoughtfully into the distance, with temperament and connotation.

If you are in a bad mood and hang your head, you are so melancholy that you are pitiful, and there is a story and a connotation.

Even tantrums, though elves rarely do, are coquettish and cute.

As long as you look good, everything seems to be forgivable. None of them had to explain it themselves, and the humans gave them countless legends and books, as if they knew their minds better than the elves themselves.

So.

What happens when a person with such a hazy and beautiful impression really meets an elf?

Henry clasped his hands and leaned against the trunk of the tree for a long time to look at the stunned faces of everyone in the camp, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Mr. Sage, who has a bad heart, is such a bad adult. Mira, who was already very familiar with this person, rolled her eyes and conveyed this meaning wordlessly, but even she herself was shocked for a long time, because this petite elf woman who was about the same height as Margaret was really.

It's so edible.

Although I have imagined it, although I can understand it, I ...... that adolescent boys are easily injured in their hearts.

Filippo's reaction looked as if - in fact - the illusion had been shattered, and he wanted to turn his head and not want to look at it anymore, but he couldn't help but be drawn to her and stare at it again. But after looking at it for a while, I still couldn't stand it and turned my head, and finally I could only hold my forehead and sigh a little without knowing what to say.

It's impossible not to eat the fireworks of the world, but a petite and cute character who represents all the good, like a myth and legend, solved the ration for eight people in just ten minutes.

"I—I'm going to calm down. Filippo covered his face and ran away.

Adolescent boys are easily wounded in their hearts.

"Poof—" Mira chuckled quietly, the episode somewhat reviving the others. Most of the members of the team are also adults who have experienced some ups and downs, and no matter how beautiful the elves are, they will not be like young people.

So under the watchful eyes of a crowd of people, she finally solved the problem of food and clothing.

"Whew-" She didn't hit the hiccups of the scenery, which was a blessing in misfortune. Even Mario and Moro breathed a sigh of relief, and after eating and drinking enough, the blonde elf lady seemed to remember something important.

She first glanced back at the bald man resting on the side of the camp, the same man he had fought with Henry before - the mercenaries were clearly not naïve enough to let their guard down completely, the unconscious bald man bound hand and foot with hemp rope, while four heavily armed mercenaries clung to the hilt of their swords.

"Ahh

"So, can we begin to explain?" said the person who spoke was the merchant leader, not our Sage Sage. Henry and Mira were standing on the periphery as if they didn't care about themselves. At the heart of the team are Margaret and Mario, who are just hired guards. So although he can control some things so that they don't get out of control, the decisions on the surface still have to be made by others.

This is the philosophy of adults, and if you have to fight for the right to speak and control everything, it will only lead to division and opposition in the team.

"......" The elf didn't answer immediately, she looked left and right around her.

Some of Henry's interactions with her were tacitly secretive, and after the conflict between the sage and the bald man had been misunderstood, the reason why she had quietly approached the camp was "because of the potential threat in the vicinity, and she wanted to find out who the travelers who would come to the forest at such a time were." ”

Such a short sentence or two obviously wouldn't have been bought by seasoned merchants and mercenaries, but before she could give a credible and convincing explanation, Miss Elf was nervous from hunger and finally relaxed.

Passed out.

"......" Mario frowned, and the elf girl watched left and right, still refusing to speak.

"How about introducing yourself?" the sage saw the fact that although she had experience in communicating with humans, she was obviously not very proficient. Maybe I have communicated with human society before and I also went with my elders, so although I am not so strange to humans that I will run away when I see him, I can't communicate smoothly as if I was a familiar person.

Judging from this, combined with her small size, she should indeed be just a girl at the age of the elf.

"Ahh......h My name is Ornonidorafan—" "Abbreviation—" Henry interrupted her, rubbing his temples, and Mira chuckled quietly as she looked at him with a little headache.

"—It's called Orno, and that's it. She said this, and the Elven accent spoke in Lamanite that sounded very good, but most of the people's attention was on the threat she had spoken of, except for Filippo who had returned.

Without further ado, Orno, whose name means "bright eyes" in Elvish, began to organize her language, thinking about how to express herself in Lamanite to make sure everyone understood.

And when she finally found the first word in Laman, and the moment she spat it out, Mira noticed that Henry's expression had changed.

"Witch. ”

"W—do you know?" was a beautiful pronunciation, but the language was obviously a bit stiff and in many places she still wanted to say it in Elvish, but thankfully she wasn't telling anything particularly unpopular, at least for the East Coasters.

"Witch? Margaret was startled, and the rest of the Lamanites were no better. Our Mila was the only one who looked left and right in confusion, and she was born on the West Coast and didn't have the same cultural background, so she couldn't keep up with the reactions of the others.

"What's that?" subconsciously, the white-haired Luoan girl asked.

Her voice was a little abrupt when everyone else understood what it was, but when Horno turned his head to look at the white hair, he immediately understood the cause and effect, and took the initiative to explain.

"Different, superior to, the existence of a magician. It was only clear that her explanation only made Mira more confused.

"It's a demon. Fortunately, it was not only the elves present, Margaret, who was born in the aristocracy and had better language and phrasing skills, opened her mouth to take over the conversation. Mira noticed that the word demon she used was not the traditional concept of a sulphur-smelling hellish demon, but rather a supernatural being that could be translated as "devil" or something like that.

This word is a broad term in the Lamanite language, used to describe something terrible beyond human comprehension.

"A long time ago, it happened, one thing. Margaret said, not knowing why, but turned her head to look at the sage, who was silent, not saying a word. For some reason, she seemed a little flustered, and stammered for a moment before explaining, "....... In the Northlands, the main city of the Suomir kingdom, Aurora. ”

The noun "!" caused Mira to leave and turn to look at Henry, but the sage was unmoved.

"A witch has appeared. The light of the campfire illuminated the face of the black-haired aristocratic lady, who, though immature, made the words even more mysterious by her serious expression.

"The Empire sent an entire legion to the rescue, along with the Holy Knights of the Church, who had gone to support the local branch. Not to mention the elite army of 10,000 people, the Holy Knights are composed of the children of the elite nobles of the empire and the devout believers, equipped with sophisticated armor and weapons, each of them is a strong man with a hundred enemies. ”

"It is not an exaggeration to say that this expeditionary force is the cutting-edge force of the Empire. Margaret said this, and Mira nodded subconsciously, although she didn't know when this history happened, but to change the concept that the Loan girl was more familiar with, according to Margaret's words, this army would have been able to conquer a country if it was placed on the west coast.

"But they. The noble lady said this in a beautifully worded and well-pronounced tone.

"Gone forever. ”

"This is where history is broken, for 'there are no survivors'—" She glanced at Henry, as if noticing the latter's expression, but the sage remained unfazed, and Margaret frowned in disappointment, and then continued, "So even I have no way of looking up any specific details." ”

"There are only various legends circulating among the people today, but no matter what, it is an undoubted fact that a city with a population of nearly 100,000 and the top military force of the church has disappeared from the world in just half a month. ”

As a result, the church and the witch became feuding, and a huge hunt was set off among the people. The people hated the house and the black, and included the mages who also possessed powers they could not comprehend in the hunting list, which eventually led to the mages except the elemental mages who sided with the church to raise the flag against them. ”

"This is what is recorded in history as the 'Ten Years of Turmoil', because of which the people of the empire are not living, and its origin is the witch. Margaret said, and the rest of the Lamanites nodded.

"I see. Mira could now understand why people on the East Coast had changed their minds about the term, not only because of the inexplicable power of the witch's existence, but also because there had been such a reason in history.

For the proud and unstoppable people of Padrossi, who do run rampant on the East Coast, this long-lost name that has made them deflated is probably a matter of shame and national hatred," Margaret continued.

"According to the historical records left behind, the witch's ability is a combination of a regular elemental mage and a wizard, and is ten times more powerful than them. She said this, and Horno, who had been silent for so long, spoke again, shook his head, and interrupted the noble lady: "You Valla...... The human account is wrong. ”

"A witch is not a wizard, nor is she an elemental. ”

"They are, they are born. ”

"The magic of a human magician" Orno said lightly, but it made waves in everyone's hearts: "It was created by a witch." ”

In other words, they are gods to magicians. ”

“...... Ridiculous!How can such an existence be compared to a god!" On the East Coast, where the White Church is prevalent, such words obviously irritated them a little, and one of the mercenaries shouted angrily, but considering that the person who spoke was not a human or a believer, he had nowhere to vent his anger but to stomp his feet.

"Vala—" she used the word again habitually, and the crowd knew that in the Elven language the word clearly referred to man: "Your myth says that man was made in God's own image. ”

"The higher demonic beasts will transform into human form, also because this is the posture of a perfect god, they tend to be perfect, they tend to be god. ”

"It's the same with magic. Orno said, her language so simple and clear that even those who didn't know magic could understand what she was trying to say.

"The magician uses spells to mobilize magic in order to reproduce what the witch has created. ”

"Just as children imitate adults, and humans worship gods. ”

"The church of Vala denies witches and wizards, and wants to kill them all because they threaten the existence of the gods. ”

"Witches themselves, like gods, have the power to create, and if many people learn about it, the church will be threatened. She spoke flatly, but the words sounded as uncomfortable to the ears of people of faith as a needle pricking flesh.

"I can't listen to it anymore!How can such a thing as a witch be compared to a god!" The mercenary who was so angry that he stomped his feet before was the first person who couldn't stand it, he turned around and ran into the distance, and even Moreau, who stayed behind, and even Uncle Mario, who had always been kind, put on a cold face at this moment.

"So you're trying to say that witches are actually great beings who can create life and create miracles, and we humans are all wrong?" Mario said with a rare thorn, clearly threatening his beliefs, and even a businessman couldn't keep his cool. But the indifferent Miss Elf didn't notice the subtle changes, she shook her head, and then continued.

"They can't create life. ”

"The witch is. ”

"The public enemy of any living creature. ”

"Because of them. Horno opened her eyes and swept over the faces of the crowd, pausing for a moment as she confronted Mira and Margaret, before finally stopping at Henry's.

"They are. Her emerald green eyes stared straight at the sage's gray-blue pupils, and both were similarly unwavering.

"Soulless. Horno said.

"Crackling. There was a crunch of firewood.
