Elf Farmer

The tram only brought the two of them to the entrance of the town. If they wanted to go to Elvey's house, they had to walk along the main road for a while.

Liat walked on the road and looked around curiously - she left the town when she was five years old, and the scenery in front of her was quite unfamiliar to her.

Looking at the obviously damaged street lamps on the roadside, Liat was very confused - wasn't the town in her memory so dilapidated?Along the way, I saw not even a single good street light!

However, the fields on both sides of the road still looked like they were being taken care of, and there weren't many weeds in the fields.It was the harvest season now, and Liat saw that the wheat in several fields on the roadside had been harvested.

Not long after walking through the harvested farmland, Liat saw a house located in the fields. A path branched off from the main road and led directly to the door of the house.

Although it was a bit far away, Liat could still see the golden wheat stacks piled high in the yard by that family at a glance - it turned out that the harvested farmland in front belonged to this family.

Alvey did not keep walking along the road. He turned at the second intersection where the path branched off—this path branched off and led directly to the front door of Alvey's house.

The farmland Liat had seen before was well-kept - the sight of a bumper harvest always makes people feel happy - but after following Elvi on this path, Liat couldn't help but frown. He frowned.

Not only were weeds growing on both sides of the path, but inside what was supposed to be a golden farmland, there were also large expanses of green weeds swaying in the wind.If you look carefully, you can also find that the grains in the fields are visibly shriveled.

Walking to the end of the path, in front of a two-story building, Alvey took out the key inlaid with magic gemstones from his arms and opened the door. Then Alvey led Liat through the vestibule and entered a Go to the lobby of the building and go up the stairs to the second floor.

——After entering the house, Liat always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

When Alvy opened the door to the master bedroom on the second floor, Liat saw Uncle Hood lying on the bed in the bedroom, but she didn't recognize him at first glance——

The Uncle Hood in Liat's memory was an ordinary orc from the giant squirrel tribe. He not only had a pair of squirrel ears, but also a fluffy and conspicuous squirrel tail. The person lying on the bed now obviously did not have fluffy ears and a tail. of.

Although the orcs of the giant squirrel tribe are taller than the orcs of the ordinary squirrel tribe, they are still much shorter than the human race. Therefore, the houses suitable for the orcs of the giant squirrel tribe are a bit small for ordinary people. Short and cramped, the man lying on the bed now has an exceptionally tall body. The reason why he can lie down on such a small bed is not because of anything else, but because he is too thin——

He was so thin that he almost lost his human shape, he looked like a skeleton!

At this time, Liat also realized that something was wrong - the ceiling of this house was too low for her now.

Alvi was taller than Liat. He could only lower his head after entering the bedroom. Liat looked at Alvi who had his head lowered and couldn't see his expression clearly, and then looked at Alvi who had his hands and feet curled up like a mummy. Uncle Hood, who was huddled on the bed, didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a moment of silence, Liat decided to get down to business. She took out a crystal ball from her storage ring, stepped forward, and handed the crystal ball in the direction of Uncle Hood.

The crystal ball soon emitted a soft magical light, but a thick black mist rose from the inside of the crystal ball.

After staring at the black mist for a while, Liat turned to ask Alvi: "Who told you that Uncle Hood was seriously ill? This is obviously cursed. A magic potion can be made from deep sea pearls There is nothing inside that can work on this kind of black magic."

Alvi was stunned: "But the mayor told me that as long as I find the deep-sea clam, I can save my father."

Liat frowned: "How is that possible? The mayor told you? I don't know who the mayor is, but I swear on my magician's badge, Goddess of Justice, your father is definitely under the influence of black magic Master’s curse!”

Uncle Hood did not completely fall into a coma. He was awakened from his light sleep by the sound of voices close at hand. He struggled to get up. Alvey quickly bent down and helped his father's back so that he could stand in the narrow space. He sat up in bed.

Uncle Hood struggled to raise his eyes, and he spoke very slowly: "It's me. Let the mayor tell you to find the deep sea clam. I know that I have been cursed by the black magician."

Liat really didn't know what to say at this moment. If her magic core hadn't been cracked and she couldn't release magic now, she really wanted to throw some phantom magic at Uncle Hood's head and tell him to take a good look. Alvey was lying face down in the water, looking miserable.

After calming down his mood, Liat said angrily: "Deep-sea clams are only found in the deep sea. I think as a mermaid, you should not be unaware of how dangerous the deep sea can be. I don't know what your plan is. , the fact is that if I had not come back today, Alvey would definitely have died in the sea. Do you want to send your son to die, Uncle Hood? "

The man who was so thin that he was almost inhuman shape twitched the corner of his mouth, and a sad smile appeared on his face with deeply sunken cheeks: "Little Leah? Is it you? I didn't. I wanted Alvy to die. Quite the contrary. , I want Alvey to live."

He took a breath and continued: "Alvy is not a real mermaid. He also has a curse. To become a real mermaid, you need to go to the bottom of the sea and go to the mermaid kingdom. As long as he sets foot on the mermaid kingdom territory, the curse will be He'll have a fit, Alvy, and he'll drown in the water."

"To lift the curse, we need deep-sea pearls and potions." Uncle Hood gasped for breath for a few times. After he managed to calm down his breathing, he continued: "It's not just the curse, they also have tracking magic. The mayor helps, The magic has been transferred, and as long as the deep sea pearl is brought back, the mayor can refine the magic potion, and Alvey can leave the town and go to the Mermaid Kingdom."

"Everyone will leave the town. It is not safe here. Everyone will move away. The human nobles discovered the mithril mine underground in the town. They plan to set up a large teleportation circle, mine ore, and build an adventurer town—— Cough cough cough!" Uncle Hood coughed violently, and Alvey silently patted his back again and again to help him calm down.

After Liat heard about the mithril mine, he touched his crystal ball and muttered: "If it is really a mithril mine, it is not incomprehensible, but Uncle Hood, this has nothing to do with the black magic curse on you. It doesn’t matter, right? By the way, what’s going on between you and Aunt Sophia? Where’s Aunt Sophia? Why didn’t I see her? Or was she taken away by her family? "

Uncle Hood opened his mouth to speak, but because he was so excited, he burst out into a violent cough and was unable to say even a single word.He tried hard to control his emotions, and after calming down his breathing, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Sofia, was taken away by them and used as a sacrifice to those evil cultists! They believe in evil gods! They have fallen!"

Liat couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Evil God? If it is really a cultist of the evil god, it would be easier to solve. I forgot to tell you, Uncle Hood, that I am a dual-element magician of water and light. At the same time, Not only am I a White Mage, I am also a Battle Mage.”

"Under normal circumstances, it is not a big problem for me whether it is an evil god believer or a black magic curse, but -" Liat shrugged: "It is obviously not a normal situation now, my magic core is cracked , not a single magic can be released.”

"But -" she lengthened her tone and said calmly: "As long as you give me enough high-grade magic powder materials, I can still solve the problem by drawing a magic circle to release magic."

Liat's eyes fell leisurely on Alvey, and she pointedly emphasized: "It requires high-grade magic powder materials."

Thinking that Uncle Hood was also a mermaid, Liat couldn't help but glance at Uncle Hood. However, after looking at Uncle Hood's miserable appearance that was almost in human form under the curse of black magic, she finally took her eyes back and looked at him again. On to Alvey.

"Liat, you mean you can save mom and dad, right?" Alvi stared at Liat and asked.

Liat was not weak at all. She nodded and added: "The premise is that I have enough magic powder and enough magic gems in my hand."

She explained briefly: "For the magic powder, I need to use high-grade magic powder, because the curse on Uncle Hood was cast by a high-level black magician. I need you to provide enough scales as materials. If your hair can be used to refine it, If you want to make high-grade magic powder, you can also provide hair. There are also magic gems. In order to ensure the supply of magic power, I need a large number of magic gems. If I want to completely solve the curse on Uncle Hood, you must prepare at least one hundred for me. A magic element gem of more than fifty grams. As for Aunt Sophia’s question, I need to look at the specific situation before talking about it."

Turning to look at Uncle Hood lying on the bed, Liat took out a bottle of magic potion from the storage ring and handed it over: "Uncle Hood, drink this bottle of potion first. If you continue like this, your body will I can't stand it. This is a light-based recovery potion. Although there is no way to directly remove the curse in your body, it can also weaken it slightly."

After Uncle Hood drank the potion, he fell into a deep sleep. Liat waved to Alvi and motioned for him to go out and talk.

After going downstairs, Liat walked through the hall on the first floor. After a short pause, she went straight out the door and walked into the yard - she and Alvy were both quite tall and stayed in a low room. It's a little uncomfortable to sit on.

Standing in the open courtyard, Liat let out a long breath: "Okay, it feels much more comfortable now. I didn't think the house was so small when I was a child." After complaining casually, Liat looked at He looked at Alvey sharply: "Do you want to start refining the magic powder now?"

Her eyes that sparkled like rubies in the sunlight were filled with one sentence - Bring me the mermaid scales!
