Another Life: Elf Archer

After hearing Qi Youfeng's words, Niannian fell directly into his arms, holding the bewildered elf child in one hand, and lifting his chin with the other and smiled:

"Tell me why you think so."

Qi Youfeng turned his head and looked outside the hut, slid his fingers down and poked his Adam's apple lightly, then quickly sat up straight and said seriously:

"Don't worry, the only people who can hear and understand us are our own people."

"You told us so much right after you woke up. At that time, I felt," Qi Youfeng grabbed Niannian and gently put his chin on her shoulder, "You probably don't want this world to be isolated from the real world. Beyond that, the future you envision requires breaking down the barriers between these two worlds.”

"Yes." Nian Nian relaxed back and nestled between his arms. The little boy in her arms no longer held on to Nian Nian's cloak, but tentatively hooked her fingers.

Qi Youfeng smiled softly, wrapped his big hand around Nian Nian's hand, and in Nian Nian's hand was the thinner little hand.

“I don’t understand anything too professional, but I think that instead of building this place into a paradise-like utopia, you would rather turn this place into a petri dish and fresh cabinet.”

"Your metaphor is quite interesting, I like it."

Nian Nian tilted her head, kissed him on the cheek, and then lowered her head to kiss the little boy's forehead, causing the little boy who stared curiously to blush instantly.

"You haven't said it yet, why do you think I am a war-loving villain?" Nian Nian leaned back slightly and asked in a sweet voice, but his eyes narrowed with a smile.

"Perhaps," this was just a sudden conjecture, and Qi Youfeng couldn't explain it at the moment, "let this place be so chaotic that the players can't end it, for example, let the war spread to another world, etc., to force a break. blockade"

Nian Nian smiled but did not answer. Qi Youfeng came close to her ear and whispered:

"To tell you the truth, did you have a hand in Song Qing's miraculous authority?"

Nian Nian shouted that this was a frame-up, took Qi Youfeng's other hand, and wrote a sentence on his palm with his index finger.

Before he finished writing this sentence, Qi Youfeng took a breath, held Nian Nian's hand tightly, looked around warily, and shook his head at Nian Nian with great disapproval.

Nian Nian understands that Qi Youfeng doesn't mind that she has secrets, and he doesn't ask her to share her secrets with him, including this one.

Even so, she didn't want to find excuses to offend Qi Youfeng.

"I believe you."

Nian Nian spoke every word, looked outside the hut, and smiled. The busy York just turned his head and raised his hand to say hello with a smile.

"When a person knows the truth about something, his subconscious emotional reaction when facing an unexpected situation will be different. If someone pays attention to it, I am afraid something will be guessed."

Qi Youfeng followed her gaze and saw that the human players who were drinking and having fun by the campfire had disappeared at some point. He could vaguely see some figures shaking in the woods behind the hut opposite.

"It's okay, don't be afraid," Niannian waved his hand nonchalantly, "I didn't expect you to find out. Fortunately, you were the only one who found out."

"Because I've been watching you."

That's why he was able to capture every unnatural expression in Nian Nian, and he also remembered every word Nian Nian said, and discovered coincidences that didn't look like accidents when reviewing the context.

Nian Nian stuck out her tongue with some guilt: "Should I look at you more?"

"No, it doesn't matter if you look at me or not. Just don't look at other people."

Qi Youfeng raised his chin, and Dion was leading a group of timid elf children walking past. Suddenly he turned around and gave Nian Nian a very charming smile.

Niannian quickly looked away, staring at Qi Youfeng's face without blinking, and solemnly declared: "Don't worry, others are not as good-looking as you."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Qi Youfeng had no choice but to pull Niannian to stand up, take the elf child in her arms, put her hands under his armpits and lift the child up to look at him levelly:

"Man, you have to walk on your own."

The little boy nodded, stood up straight after being put down by Qi Youfeng, straightened his tattered clothes, looked at Dion who had walked to the door of the hut, and asked:

"Did you drive away those humans?"

Dion knelt down on one knee and replied seriously: "According to the patriarch's instructions, I can't drive them away. I can only let them sleep somewhere else because they are too noisy."

The little boy nodded and stretched out his hand: "Hello, my name is Jovi, thank you."

Dion shook hands with him, shook his head and said:

"This is not my fault alone. My name is Dion. I just provided some canes to drag them away. The person who decided to move them is called Nick. The person who made them drunk is called Saraswati. They are also Humans, there are two dwarves in our mercenary group."

Jiewei thought for a moment and then said: "I know that not all alien races are bad, and not all elves of the same race are good."

"Indeed," Dion agreed very much and asked, "Would you like to lead these children to the campfire to warm themselves up? We can help you bandage your wounds and give you a good meal."

Jiewei seemed to want to cheer, but after a quick jump he replied in a pretentious manner: "Okay, I'll let everyone out later."

Dion stood up, saluted and thanked him, and walked out of the simple hut with Nian Nian.

Nian Nian looked up and looked around, discovering the human players hanging among the treetops, and discerned the condition of these people from their thunderous snores.

"It's still a bit noisy. Let's throw it farther away later." Nian Nian curled his lips.

"There's no rush, let's get these children settled first."

"erda."

Dion raised the staff into the air. The staff with the same name as the mythical Tree of Life emitted a soft light. Tall birch trees rose from the ground one after another, surrounding the entire tribal camp.

The fragrance of the earthy trees swept away the pungent smell of alcohol in the air. The birch trees formed a forest, with intertwined branches and leaves, like a city wall. Together with the breeze, they played soft music, and the panicked children instantly It became quiet, and there was a bit of innocence and curiosity on the little face that was illuminated by the bonfire.

The staff in Dion's hand suddenly shrank and turned into a seedling, with only one leaf drooping and a little yellow in color.

This rune means Mother Earth. It is a rune that directly attracts the protective power of this land. It can build a nearly invincible defense circle within the scope of the Jesses Forest. For Dion, even with the help of magic It will take a long time to recover the mana that Staff Yukotrasil has accumulated so far before it can be released next time.

There are no enemies here, and even if there are, Dion doesn't need to worry. His spell is just for the children who have just been rescued and sent back.

This gentle land and trees are the best and most effective comfort for these children.

Jiewei carried a smaller child out of the hayloft. Behind him were a dozen children who were moving or crawling. They raised their hands to block the dazzling firelight and huddled together timidly.

Nian Nian heard Dion's curse and saw Nick flashing towards him. Players from the Prison Dragon Village who were standing nearby also hurried over. Each of them picked up one of them and carefully placed them on the thick grass next to the campfire. Pad.

There are nearly 150 children, the youngest is two or three years old, and the oldest is only 16 years old. Everyone has wounds more or less on their bodies, and they also have a pair of ignorant and numb emerald eyes.

The more than 20 adult elves in this tribe have already started busy, checking the physical condition of these children one by one. Occasionally, they will carry a beautiful child in gorgeous clothes alone into a certain grass shed. When they come out, their eyes are red without exception.

The Chinese players who had just arrived in Gaia soon understood what was going on with these children and stood aside awkwardly, bearing the resentment that these elves would unleash on them from time to time.

"Stop being in a daze, get moving."

After a while, Sister Wu took the lead to stand up and directed the other eight players of Feng Yacun to come forward to help and do some simple wound treatment first.

"Take out all the wound medicine and prepare hot water and clean clothes." Shi Suiya quickly assigned personnel and let the 50 people in Xingtianxia get busy.

Young Master Yan looked at the big and thick men on his side. They didn't compete for the delicate work of cleaning and bandaging wounds. Instead, they cooperated with Sister Wu and Shi Sui to do some moving work.

Everyone was busy in silence and in an orderly manner. The bonfire gradually went out, but the forest did not become dark. The moonlight fell and complemented the candles lit by the players.

The girls were gathered together by female players and hidden in gauze tents. The wounds on their bodies were carefully treated, their messy hair was rearranged by the older sisters, and they were put on hastily cut new clothes.

The boys were startled by the sudden folding of the tent, and were amused by the colorfully dressed big mouse Mrs. Morgan. They watched the exaggerated tug-of-war between York and Mrs. Morgan attentively, and raised their little fists to cheer.

The twins were treating the whiplash on Jiewei's face. Jiewei insisted that they treat the other children in the same hayloft first. At this moment, Hyde was teasing him and crying, and Xiaomi was surrounded by a circle. Consciences scoff.

Sarah and Sister Wu held the two drowsy children and placed them on the clean beds in the straw shed. They also had their first conversation since they were traveling together.

Nick, John and the Qilongzhai bandits have just returned. The human players who were hung on the trees have been scattered far away in the depths of the forest. They will most likely be lost for a while after they wake up.

Nick and John originally wanted to send these people back to the resurrection point directly, but they just thought of the so-called elf clan leader's order and did not cause trouble for Dion and Nian Nian.

The foraging team led by Nian Nian also gained a lot. They carried back several baskets of delicious and nutritious berries. While supervising each other not to eat them secretly, they stuffed handfuls of them into the pockets of the children's clothes.

More than an hour later, the children were all asleep, and the players from China sat around the ashes of the campfire, sharing the dry food in their hands and their feelings.

At the same time, sitting with them were more than 20 elves from this small tribe. After carefully studying the differences in appearance between these human races and those of other human races, they conducted a physical exchange based on Shi Sui's suggestion. barter transaction.

Xing Tianxia brought silk cloth, cold brewed tea and some lightweight tools produced by the Mohist family in exchange for various herbs, animal bones and skins unique to the Feises Forest.

The food and shelter of the elves come from the forest, and their clothes come from the wild beasts that also live in the forest.

After all, the animal skins used to make clothes are only a small part, and the remaining flesh, skin, and bones are of little use. They are usually buried on the spot. Unexpectedly, they can get some good things today, which naturally makes these elves very satisfied. It also made Shi Sui very satisfied.

Sister Wu and Young Master Yan did not go to the temporary market, but went straight to Nian Nian and Qi Youfeng who were hiding in the corner and whispering.

Nian Nian looked at the two of them, then looked at the excitement on the other side, and said with a smile:

"You are also members of the caravan, right?"

"I hate being old." Sister Wu replied bluntly.

"We are mainly here to protect Qi Youfeng and you." Young Master Yan shook his fan.

"Then let's go our separate ways." Nian Nian tilted his head.

"You and Shi Sui are on a different path." Sister Wu's tone didn't sound surprising.

"I want to take care of things here first, and then go to the tribe where I was born. There are still people in our mercenary group waiting for us to meet up there."

Nian Nian continued: "They are going directly to the Elf Clan leader's tribe, which is in the other direction. It is also the largest, most populous, and most city-like tribe in the entire Feises Forest."

"So, if you follow me, you will really have no profit." Nian Nian spread his hands.

"It must be profitable there," Young Master Yan asked, realizing that Nian Nian seemed to have some information.

"The highest authority in Gaia is called the Council of Elders, and seven of the thirteen seats are held by players."

"Two of the seats were won by two elven players, and these two people are in the tribe that I am going to."

"And their most important competitor when they run for election is Alexander from our mercenary group."

Looking at Sui walking towards him every year, he smiled and said:

"So you see, he and I are really on different paths, and we might even be enemies in the future."
