Dark Redemption of Elf

dong dong dong...

There was a knock on the door on the second floor of the mansion. The silver-haired girl lying on the bed quickly withdrew her right hand that was touching her chin and looked at the door. A light girl's voice came from behind.

"Xingye, let's go out for dinner."

"Ai...Sister Ariel?"

"Yes, it's me. My brother wants me to tell you, don't take it to heart this afternoon."

"...Oh, it's okay, I didn't take it to heart." Xingye blushed slightly, touched his chin again, and muttered.

"It's not very sharp..."

On the first floor of the mansion, in the living room near the kitchen, the food was neatly placed on a brand new table, the aroma was floating around, and a girl with light freckles on her face stood quietly beside the table.

Ayton stood opposite her, the atmosphere was a bit awkward... Originally he didn't plan to let Via help, but the other party had already prepared a black and white maid outfit and came here when he was preparing for tonight's dinner, ready at any time. It was almost time for dinner, and he was too embarrassed to drive her back, so he simply let her stay.

Because Ayton will go to Yaolan Magic Academy to study light magic recently, and Ariel will definitely follow him there. He is very worried about leaving Xingye alone at home. Originally, he wanted to find someone who can take care of Xingye when he leaves. Yes, cleaning the entire mansion, cooking and so on.

Now that she has taken the initiative to help him, he feels more or less uncomfortable. After all, he lived alone in his previous life and was more or less accustomed to doing everything by himself. Asking others to help with such small things, especially a woman... .Very irritating to his so-called masculinity.

When Ayton turned around, an exquisite figure flashed in front of the dining table, quickly picked up a piece of barbecue with his fingertips and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it while saying vaguely: "Well, it tastes pretty good, brother, you should learn more. "

With a whoosh, Ayton took out two chopsticks from his arms and hit her on the head: "Go and wash your hands first, don't use your hands directly."

"How dare you dislike my dirty hands?" Ariel quickly pinched another piece of barbecue and stuffed it into her mouth, and slipped out of the door before the chopsticks fell on her head.

Ayton used the right hand he had just raised to touch the back of his head. He squeezed out a smile from the corner of his mouth and looked at Via who stepped aside: "You can eat together too. Don't be formal. We are not nobles. We are all casual."

"Okay, sir." Via smiled lightly. As a down-and-out daughter of the Chamber of Commerce, she had learned some aristocratic etiquette from her father. Although her manners were not as good as those of Princess Lan Keke, she was far better than the gluttonous Ai. Lil.

"Brother Ayton, and sister Via?" A little head with red eyes poked out from the edge of the door, looking at the two people in the room with a somewhat shy expression.

"Xingye, come in and sit down." Ayton turned his head and looked into her eyes with some embarrassment. Fortunately, Via behind him waved to her in a friendly way and motioned for her to come and sit with him. Xingye immediately ran over and sat next to her. The little hands with light water beads seemed to have nowhere to put them.

Ayton smiled helplessly in his heart. It seemed that the misunderstanding at noon had not been resolved yet... After a while, Ariel came back after washing her hands, and sat comfortably on the sandalwood chair. Before anyone could say anything, she started smashing it consciously. Open your mouth and eat.

"Well, these things taste good today. Brother, I feel like you need to learn more about other things besides fried rice..."

"..." The corners of Ayton's eyes twitched slightly, and he turned his gaze to the two stunned women: "Let's all start eating, we are very casual..."

Xingye and Weiya looked at each other, put down their knives and forks at the same time, put their hands together, and seemed to be silently saying something like a prayer. Ayton couldn't help but put his ear towards them, and could only reluctantly Listen carefully to words like the Goddess of Light...thank you...for the gift.

"Yeah? Do you all believe in that goddess of light?" Ariel rarely stopped her movements and tilted her head to look at the two women across the table.

The unkind words made Ayton frown slightly. He touched her with his thigh under the table, then pointed at her and said to the two women: "Sorry, she doesn't know how to speak..."

"What?!" Ariel's slender eyebrows tilted sharply, and she stepped on his foot mercilessly. The movement under the table was even felt by the two women opposite.

Via put down her hands and said in a weak voice with a touch of sadness: "I had a typhoid fever when I was a child. Thanks to my mother praying at the Holy See of the Goddess of Light day and night, and getting the response from the goddess, I recovered from the disease. Moreover, my father's death recently The leg injury was also cured by Miss Vanessa of the Holy See, so from now on I will believe in the kind and benevolent goddess of light."

Xingye looked at Via next to her, then turned to look at Ayton, with some sadness in her eyes: "My mother said that she is from the Markarth Empire and a believer in the goddess of light. Although I don't believe in it, every time The dinner table will be turned over in prayer.”

Having said that, in fact, her faith had been abandoned when her mother died. After all, the one who killed them was the spokesperson of the goddess in the world, the Holy See. The purpose of doing this is just to remember the teachings of my mother during her lifetime.

"Oh, we get it, it's okay, you can do whatever you want, heh..." Ayton had a smile on his face, but the pain down there made him take a breath. Ariel just didn't let go of her feet until now. She actually twisted it hard, it seemed that she was really angry today.

......

After dinner, Via refused their offer to send him home. After saying goodbye at the gate, the sky gradually darkened. Ayton thought that now that the trivial matters were almost solved, it was time to conduct some research.

"Xingye, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"Huh!? What's the matter, Brother Ayton? I...I'm not ready yet." Xingye suddenly pulled the corners of his clothes with both hands, and his heart was as panicked as a deer stumbling around. Ariel's body tilted and her face was suspicious. Stare at him.

"Brother, is there something you can't tell directly? It's so stained."

"...Go and pack up the things in the basement. I want to transform that place into a research institute." Ayton said this to Ariel with a gloomy face.

"Ah? Didn't we agree to clean it up together!" Ariel yelled aggrievedly, but was quickly pushed into the storage room by Ayton. Even he felt that the things in the basement were a bit scary and could never be left in the mansion. Next, as for Ariel, he believes that these things have no sensory stimulation for her.

Now Ayton and Xingye were the only two people left on the first floor. Xingye felt her little heart speed up, thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump.

"Brother Ayton, the... peripheral warning eyes have been arranged. If I have the materials, I will make a magic crystal ball in a few days so that I can observe every move around this house."

Ayton's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that she could actually create something similar to surveillance, "Magic crystal ball?, no problem, what other materials do you need?"

Xingye reported all the required materials in succession, but the rhythm of her tone was a little messy due to her inner anxiety. She was afraid that Ayton would not be able to remember it for a while, so she repeated it deliberately and carefully, but he didn't know that Ayton was confused the first time. Keep it in mind.

Many materials are readily available in his storage space, but the main crystal ball is a bit difficult to obtain, and the price is also a bit expensive, about one thousand gold coins...

Seeing that Ayton just nodded calmly, Xingye realized that he was not specifically talking to her about the Vigilant Eye. What could it be? ...It can't be that kind of thing, people always have an inexplicable fear and tension when facing unknown and irresistible things.

Xingye recalled what Raya had warned her, and felt uneasy in her heart. She didn't dare to look directly into his eyes. Her hands seemed to have nowhere to put them, sometimes holding the corners of her clothes, sometimes behind her back.

Ayton noticed something strange about the girl, but he couldn't figure it out: "Xingye, come with me, I have something to ask you."

Xingye followed his steps closely, and when passing by the storage room, her blood-red eyes glanced inadvertently, and there was only the sound of breaking wood from underneath. Follow the corridor to the forging room on the first floor, which contains a brand new forging table, scattered tools and some ordinary iron ore.

Ayton carefully checked his surroundings through the window to make sure no one was peeking from a distance, but he still cautiously closed the curtains. The light dimmed instantly, but at the same time, he took out a magic lamp from the corner of his arms and injected a lot of magic power until the whole room was illuminated like daylight.

"Brother Ayton..." Xingye looked like a frightened little rabbit, his hands nervously guarding his chest, and his mind couldn't help but start imagining what might happen next.
