Rules for raising elves [Interstellar Apocalypse]

"Miss Shia has really grown taller."

Larry smiled and made gestures on the elf's head, which also confirmed that Leo's guess was not groundless.

"Tsk, has it really grown? Why do I still feel like this?" Before Dwarf could say anything, the angry elf jumped up and covered his mouth.

"I've just grown taller! Both Leo and Larry said I've grown taller!" She was so excited that she stomped her feet on the spot. Shea opened her eyes wide and argued hard, puffing her cheeks and saying unconvinced.

Nowadays, the newly evolved humans are generally taller, especially the orcs. Their adult height is generally over 1.9 meters, and there are many around 2 meters tall. Even females are rarely less than 1.7 meters tall. . Although Dak is still a few months shy of adulthood, his height is already well over 1.9 meters.

"I'm not short! I'm just still young!!" Sia tried her best to argue, but found that no one in the circle of people around her looked in agreement with her.

Because the fact is that although they have never seen what female cubs look like, judging from the male cubs of the same age, even the thinnest one is taller than the elf.

Therefore, Leo was always worried about this. He always felt that their raising methods were not right, or there was something wrong with the food they ate, which caused the elf to be extremely thin. Not to mention that in the past three or four months, he had not even grown a centimeter!

Although the female cubs of the empire all grew up in the core area, and their physical data and other information were kept strictly confidential, it was not completely unknown to anyone.

For example, Mo Xili.

Leo secretly rubbed his eyes and cast his gaze over.

"Lord Mo Xili, what do you think?"

The McCarthy family is different from other aristocrats with empty titles. They are a powerful group that can speak in parliament, and they have strong assets. The "Rose Garden" where the imperial females have long lived has their handiwork.

Moreover, as the youngest legion commander in the empire, Mo Xili himself had a reputation for being knowledgeable and good-looking, so he was frequently invited to serve as a special lecturer for those female ladies.

Although there are some other considerations, such as winning the favor of some outstanding ladies in advance and gaining more in-law benefits for the family.

Feeling the gazes cast by others, Mo Xili coughed lightly. Even though the elf's eyes were so pitiful, he still told the truth: "Compared to other females of the same age, Miss Xia, She is smaller." As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly added: "But he has indeed grown taller."

Although it was incredible to him, the elf did indeed grow taller overnight.

To be more precise, after absorbing the moonlight, the body showed signs of finally starting to grow.

Not only has he grown a few centimeters in height, but there is not as much baby fat on his face as before, his chin has also begun to become a bit more pointed, and his facial features have even lost a little of their childishness. If he hadn't had the previous photos and looked at them every day, When we first met, we confirmed again and again that such changes were actually very small and difficult to detect.

If she looked like she was ten years old before, Sia is definitely a little older than ten now.

"So he really grew taller after being exposed to the moon?" Karl said blankly.

"This is also the first time I've seen a race that needs to bask in the moon." Moussa No. 2 touched his head.

So I finally came to the conclusion that although I don't know the reason, the elf did grow taller after absorbing yesterday's moonlight.

Every day after that, Sia had a new fixed activity - sunbathing in the moon.

"It's only been a few days since we last met, and I feel like I've missed out on so many exciting things." Dak reluctantly lifted up the elf and spun it around a few times, and the elf's clear laughter rang out.

Duck and Larry arrived at Death Falls early in the morning when the sun had just risen.

In fact, they were not far behind Caleb and the others. They followed the scent and traces all the way to the canyon and then to the thorn forest. Unlike the elves who cheated all the way, their journey through the thorn forest was not so smooth, and it still took them a while.

What's more, due to some shitty luck, batch after batch of ill-intentioned people with no eyesight came, so they had to spend some time fighting.

Larry immediately felt the changes in the people present, especially Leo, who had always had a good relationship with him.

Looking the energetic gray-haired boy up and down, Larry raised his eyebrows: "If it weren't for the level difference, I could really feel this change, otherwise it would be really hard to believe."

Although there was a precedent with Caleb before, Sia's ability seemed to be just a flash in the pan since then and never appeared again.

It wasn't until this time that they finally understood one thing. The purification ability was not simply the result of Sia's tears, but more from Sia herself. The glow all over her body was just a manifestation. Sia could take the initiative on her own. To guide this ability.

Moonlight can replenish energy for elves. In fact, sunlight also exists, but it is not as efficient as moonlight.

And after they repeatedly guided Shia to try it on her own, they discovered that singing was just one of the more convenient methods that could work on a large scale.

For example, now, the elf's fingertips slowly condensed a small ball of light. After touching a wound on Duck's body that was pierced by thorns, the ball of light slowly sank into the wound, and the wound was very small. It healed quickly and only a little pink scar remained.

And this scar will disappear within a day, leaving no trace at all, just like Leo now.

"So is this a healing ability or a purifying ability?" Dak looked at his completely healed wounds and marveled.

The elf answered naturally: "It's magic!"

"magic?"

Karl's eyes widened, "What is that?"

Since Shia received a round of moonlight baptism that day, she vaguely felt that she had recovered some scattered memories, including how to use some basic magic. She was still smugly waiting for everyone's praise, but found that everyone was trapped in An eerie silence.

Soon, she became a little overwhelmed, her expression gradually became confused, and she always felt that something was not quite right.

Isn’t that what humans call them?

What kind of light magic, plant magic, lightning magic, etc.

A bunch of fancy names.

It's obviously just about controlling different elements to produce different effects.

In her view, these things are as innate as breathing, very ordinary things, a simple "quick tool" to achieve a purpose, but in her memory, humans are very concerned about this. It's fanaticism.

Why does everyone act like they have no idea at all?

Caleb reacted quickly, rubbed the elf's head, and praised her for being great. Others quickly followed suit, and the atmosphere gradually became lively again.

Although they didn't know what "magic" was, they didn't think about it more deeply, because as family members who had been together for a long time, no matter where Sia's ability came from, they were more happy than worried.

Duck put the elf on his neck, and everyone headed towards Blue Moon Lake playfully.

But Mo Xili and his adjutant Mussel, who automatically fell behind the team, had other considerations.

"Sir, do we want to continue to hide it from the empire? This is a purification ability! And it is also group-based. You should know that this will completely change the current interstellar situation!" Mussel couldn't help but have an excited look on his face.

"So?" Mo Xili's expression did not change.

"Should we inform the master?"

Mo Xili's footsteps paused, and Mussel felt a powerful pressure coming over him. His eyes, which were colder than winter, instantly froze him, and it became difficult to breathe.

"Musel, you are my most valued lieutenant. You must understand what you should do and what you should not do."

"Father or me, sooner or later you have to make a choice."

Understanding the hidden meaning in those words, Mussel was covered in cold sweat and lowered his head respectfully, "I understand, Lord Mo Xili."

Mo Xili showed his harmless, elegant and easy-going smile again, and continued to walk slowly, keeping a close distance from the team, hiding his deep thoughts.

"Magic", he always felt that he had seen this word somewhere. It seemed to be a fairy tale book restored by ancient humans in the Imperial Library. He just casually flipped through it at that time, because it was not his favorite subject, so he didn't think much about it. Take it to heart.

The research on the restoration of ancient human civilization is more concentrated in the field of science and technology. Whether it is due to the need for war or the study of "Kuroshio Disease", it is generally believed that science is the only way.

Although many literary works were deciphered as a by-product in the process, except for some scattered scholars who were interested in this, they were completely ignored.

But can "Kuroshio disease" really be cured by scientific means? Otherwise, why did ancient humans with highly developed science and technology eventually perish?

And the origin of the purifier that the Empire has been secretive about

It seems like we have to go back to District 1, Mo Xili thought to himself.

In fact, what most people can know is what the empire wants them to know. It's not just those precious females that are sealed away by the empire.

The Parliament has become increasingly secretive in its actions in recent years. Most of the seemingly public resolutions are insignificant, and the real conspiracies are carried out secretly.

Even though he is already the commander of the Third Army, he is still relatively far away from the center of the vortex, because it is his father Farina who really holds the real power of the McCarthy family. His father obviously knew everything, but he hadn't revealed anything to him so far, obviously not wanting him to get involved.

After all, in his father's eyes, he is just a beautiful tool that can benefit the family, just like his mother.

The lady's always melancholy eyes flashed through my mind, and a silent bitterness filled my heart.

Mo Xili looked at the elf in front of him who was filled with happiness and had mixed feelings for a moment.
