Allen and his little bones [Western Fantasy]

As if someone had pressed the time stop button, Eli grasped the sword of Hall that had turned back into a long strip, and froze in place.

He tried his best to search for more explanatory words in his mind, trying to remedy it, but at the same time, he realized that "acting" was not what he was good at. Lun has been quietly containing his "telling feet", and the other party did not expose his disguise out of consideration.

... As for why Alan suddenly became intolerant today, Eli has no time to think about it for the time being. The undead skeleton should have only a skeleton with no change in expression, but Alan looked straight at him from the empty eye sockets Li felt helpless and panicked.

Humans and undead looked at each other silently for a while, and they fell into silence at the same time.

Only Greddy, who was waiting for their reaction, was the most clueless.

The monster looked at the undead skeleton, and then at the human standing opposite the undead. It couldn't tell whether they were satisfied with their "tribute", so it had to test a little "owoo" to see if they could arouse their ideas.

Before the spell on the "strip" was driven, the young Grady didn't know what it was, but it knew that it seemed very precious in the eyes of humans.

The lifespan of Warcraft is much longer than that of humans. Even though this Greedy is only a minor in its group, a "baby" among Greedys, it has lived no less than Ellen and Eli.Many years ago, it happened to see treasure hunters going deep into the abyss forest looking for this "metal bar". It thought it should be something very delicious, so after accidentally finding this "metal bar" , Then eat into the stomach.

"Metal bar" is not only not as delicious as imagined, but also can't be chewed at all. Grady silently classified it into the category of "unpalatable", wondering why human beings are so obsessed with such unpalatable things, but it But I understand another point - when necessary, these things that are very important to humans can be used to make deals with humans.

Items that have no reserved value for Warcraft can be used to exchange lives with humans at certain times.

Because he never encountered any life crisis in his past life, this "metal bar" has always been lying in this Gerardy's side pocket...until it met Alan and Eli today.

The thin "owing" sound really caught the attention of Alan and Eli.

When Allen looked towards Grady, Grace flicked his big tail quickly and courteously, expressing that he was friendly and harmless.

Seeing that Allen's eyes were no longer focused on himself, Eli took this opportunity to move his body slightly.

For a moment, he thought about running away.

But as soon as he moved twice, Allen's eyes moved back like lightning.

Allen's eyes were clear and magnanimous, as if he had seen through Eli's intention of fleeing. Eli caught a glimpse of the elemental light shining on his fingertips, and remembered that this man had restricted Geridy's movements without a sound, so he set the escape plan again. The thought was silently put away, and he continued to stand where he was.

Seeing that the undead's escape intention seemed to be dispelled, Alan looked back at Grady.

Grady squatted obediently, with two big paws resting on his knees, and when the human looked at it again, his tail swung faster.

[Since the things have been accepted, can I leave? 】

Eli heard Grady asking Allen this way.

That is to say, only underage monsters who don't know the dangers of the world will stay where they are after handing over the trade items, waiting for humans to judge whether the "transaction" is successful, and replace them with adult monsters with more experience. After the "life-saving talisman" is released, it is time to take advantage of the human research items and escape.

Fortunately, this Greddy met Alan who never thought of taking his life.

Taking out the sleep aid medicine specially brought, Allen took two steps forward, and Greddy's big tail that was shaking immediately stood upright nervously. The bottle was thrown at it.

The medicine bottle "Gululu" with a smooth and round outer wall rolled in front of Geridy. The little monster lowered his head, first curiously sniffed the outer wall of the medicine bottle for a while, and soon realized that it was something that was good for him. It opened its mouth happily, rolled its tongue, and swallowed the medicine bottle whole.

The vial containing the sleep aid medicine is made of special material, which can be automatically decomposed into absorbable substances by the acid in Geridy's stomach. Allen expected that with Geridy's foodie attributes, he would definitely swallow the medicine bottle after bottle. He just changed the medicine bottle on purpose.

Right now, it seems to be the right one.

After eating the potion bottle, Greddy didn't intend to run immediately. It just looked at Alan eagerly with its golden-green eyes, and then straightened its limbs after Alan nodded slightly. First, it took two steps back slowly, and then Then he turned and walked into the depths of the forest.

For the first two steps, Grady was still walking slowly. After walking a few steps, it stopped and turned its head once.

Seeing that neither the humans nor the undead behind him had any intention of blocking, Grady was completely relieved. He yelled softly at Alan and Eli, then turned his head and ran towards the depths of the forest.

.

It is going to find a safe and hidden resting place again.

The movement of such a huge monster running was naturally not small, and feeling the vibration from the ground under his feet gradually subsided, Alan knew that Greddy had drawn a long distance from them.

Looking away from the direction where Greddy left, Allen looked at the undead again: "Now, let's talk about identity, shall we?"

Eli was silent.

He wrapped himself cautiously under the cloak, only returning Alan's quiet gaze.

Facing this attitude of being unwilling to cooperate, Allen sighed slightly, and before he said anything, the dark elements around him flowed.

It was Yin Xiao who was sent to deliver the letter and returned.

The pitch-black owl flew around its contractor, and it spread its wings, allowing the black-haired youth to see clearly the letter it was still carrying.

— Nobody received it.

"If it wasn't for all the places where I couldn't find the sender, my Yin Xiao would never bring the letter back intact." Allen stretched out his arm, and let Yin Xiao, who had flown in vain, rest on his arm.

Yin Xiao, who had landed firmly on Alan's arm, let out a cry, as if he was proud of being affirmed for his dedication.

Eli stared at the letter taken from Yin Xiao. He saw the name of the recipient on the envelope. The dark elemental aura on Yin Xiao made him feel familiar. I have sensed this breath before.

Even though Allen had already guessed his identity, he remained silent until the name was finally called out from the other party's mouth.

"Eli."

Looking at the undead who seemed to want to carry the silent confrontation to the end, Allen called out the name of an acquaintance he had guessed for a long time.

The wide cloak trembled slightly, as if blown by the night wind.

But at this moment, it was clear that there was no wind in all directions, and the rustling of the cloak was caused by the undead shrouded in it.

Suddenly hearing the name that hadn't been evoked for a long time, Eli was even stunned for a moment. He stared at Allen for a long time with empty eye sockets. When Allen was about to think that he was going to continue the "silent confrontation", he Finally opened his mouth: [I... I'm sorry. 】

Bones—or he can be called Eli generously—he apologized to Allen in a low voice, for his own concealment, and for his current appearance that is far from Allen's memory.

Yin Xiao, who stopped on Allen's shoulder, tilted his head, not understanding how it should have been a human being, and how it could become an undead skeleton, but since its contractor has already called out the other party's identity, It means that the other party is indeed that "Eli".

Thinking of his previous failed letter delivery mission, Yin Xiao flapped his wings and flew up. It took the letter that Alan had taken down in its mouth, and delivered the thin envelope to the skeleton.

In the envelope marked "To Eli Egbert", the content of the letter is extremely short, with only one line of small words written.

--are you OK?
