Allen and his little bones [Western Fantasy]

What kind of state is the so-called "shame and anger"? Eli has thoroughly experienced it tonight.

For a moment, he remained in the posture of squatting down and covering his face, thinking that he could probably maintain this position for the rest of his life.

The brain was blank, and the limbs were unprecedentedly numb and stiff. Alan's voice sounded like it was coming from a long distance, drifting into the ears, and the brain that was supposed to accept and process the information immediately couldn't respond in time.

"...What did Alan just say?" After a while, Eli, who was squatting, thought slowly.

Then the first word that jumped into his mind was "pants".

What pants?

Eli continued to be stunned for two seconds. The body of the undead skeleton was not like a human body, and his perception of temperature was more than half a beat slow. He was wearing a loose cotton jacket and trousers for convenience after taking a bath. The trousers There is no tightness at all, and it is all tied around the waist by a belt of the same material. Considering that the belt may constrict the waist and abdomen after sitting down, he does not tie it too tightly, and he thinks it is enough to let the pants hang.

Naturally, there is nothing wrong with wearing this dress when you are wearing a human body.

But the problem is that he doesn't seem to be human anymore.

Eli: "..."

Before he mustered up the courage to understand his true status quo, a bad premonition had already settled in Eli's heart, making him extremely slow in turning his attention to himself.

When the line of sight finally moved to himself with difficulty, what appeared in front of Eli was such a scene——

Because the flesh and blood body suddenly turned into a sub-skeleton, the muscle fat in the waist and abdomen disappeared in an instant, and the belt became an overly wide loop. It is now hanging miserably on his spine. The trousers that should be restrained/bound by him were not restrained, and they floated freely, and slid most of them below the hip bone in the master's squatting posture... Only the front half of the fabric was stuck by the master's folded joints.

Naturally, the stuck piece of fabric didn't make the situation much better, on the contrary, it made his posture look more thought-provoking.

It was night, and it was almost late at night. The place was a hotel room in the settlement of the undead. The undead with half-faded pants covered their faces in front of the young human who was only wearing a bath towel.

Eli fell into a relatively long period of aphasia again, and he began to think about another question - why didn't he learn the skill of "fetching objects from space"?

Otherwise, he would be able to summon the shadow cloak at this moment, and let the cloak wrap around his whole body quickly, making him completely disappear from appearance to energy field in front of Allen temporarily.

... But he just can't!

It was also after Allen was relatively silent for a long while, one person and one undead, and after taking in all the small movements that Eli barely made, he realized that he had just said something wrong.

He should not casually suggest that others take off their pants.

Even if that sentence was really his real thought in an instant, he was desperately hoping to say something to ease the embarrassment, but these words obviously did not relieve the embarrassment, but made the situation worse, he still looked at it with his head down. Eli on the ground looks like he's already thinking about punching holes in the carpet.

"I said something wrong." Allen pursed his lower lips lightly, and conveyed his apology to Eli first.

The token of the abyss is still vibrating endlessly in his portable space. As the master of the order, the relationship between him and the order of the abyss is like Eli and Hall, who can use the sword of Hall to add a special bond, and do not touch within a certain range. It's the same as being able to sense each other without meeting each other.

Even if the token is still stored in the space right now, Allen can perceive its state, and he can also tell what each vibration of the token means—for example, at this moment, what he learned from the vibration, It was the news that "the energy field of the undead ahead is fluctuating violently".

The undead skeleton didn't seem to answer or talk, as if it had solidified into a skeleton model on the spot, and just wanted to pretend to be dead and old.

But the energy field around him couldn't fool the Lord of the Abyss, revealing his true emotions covered by his "expressionless face".

Eli hurriedly finished looking at himself and buried his head again, so he didn't see that the dark energy light clusters that should have disappeared after his transformation was completed, were already floating in the mid-air around him.

These are all the dark elemental energy that is manifested because of his excessive emotional ups and downs and unstable energy field at the moment.

They would still look tiny like stardust, slowly floating around Eli like dark fireflies.

But Allen knows that as long as Eli's emotions continue to be calm and the other party does not get out of the state of ups and downs, these "stardust" will soon speed up and continue to grow and strengthen, and then It will cause an out-of-control accident close to a power riot.

"I'll go back to the bathroom first, okay?" Allen couldn't force Eli, who was still embarrassed, to look at him, and the other party couldn't see his body expression, so he could only make his voice as gentle as possible, and The other party discussed in a warm voice, "It was my fault just now, and I said something wrong. I think you will be more comfortable if you can't see me. I'll go in first, huh?"

Compared to "Why don't you take your pants off?", this advice is, in every way, a little bit better.

Although Eli showed an appearance of "refusing to cooperate", in fact, a large part of his attention has been allocated to Allen, paying attention to the movements of the black-haired youth.

Allen gave a relatively reasonable and highly feasible suggestion, and Eli really wanted to disappear from his presence at this time.

After seeing the skeleton nodding his head slightly, Allen straightened up, turned back to the bathroom neatly and neatly.

He didn't walk a few steps out of the bathroom. Eli knocked his head on the bathroom door earlier, and the subsequent series of events happened by the bathroom door. Alan returned to the bathroom and closed the door in two or three steps. After the bathroom door once again blocked the sight of the two of them, he calmly let out a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to call out the portable space, and took out the abyss token that had been working diligently for half a day.

The black token, which seemed ordinary at first glance, floated in front of Allen, and quietly established contact with the undead outside whose energy field had not calmed down.

"Eli." Alan called out the name of the undead who finally started to get up in a steady voice.

Eli could tell that Alan didn't keep a long distance from him, but because the other party couldn't see him for a while, he relaxed a little, and whispered back: "I'm outside."

"Yeah." Allen paused, and continued to tell Eli the idea that came to him just now, "Do you want to test your ability now and see if it is the same as your mother? Also improved after undergoing racial conversion?"

The scene just now was indeed extremely embarrassing, but even in this embarrassment, Allen was able to think about whether to take advantage of the situation to verify the problem.

Eli was relieved that Alan didn't continue to bring up the "pants taking off incident" just now, but he was still a little bit dumbfounded in his heart.

After thinking about it again, he couldn't help suspecting that the other party said this purposely to ease the embarrassment and change the subject, and then he was a little happy again, and was moved by his presumed thoughtfulness.

"it is good."

Eli's affirmative answer was transmitted from outside the bathroom door back to the door.

Allen didn't know how much the undead thought and made up in his brain for a moment, but was surprised to find that the other party's emotions seemed to have eased up.

Even though he didn't know the reason, he felt relieved that the other party's state was moving towards recovery.

"But what should I do?" Eli's voice continued to come in. At this time, he also noticed the dark element light clusters floating around him, and they changed their floating positions with his movements.

Eli tentatively touched the ball of light—not forgetting to shake off his unlucky pants, and then found that the small ball of light was "absorbed" by his fingertips, and he could clearly feel a tiny heat flow coming from him. Fingertips poured into the body.

"I can absorb these energy light clusters." Eli said with uncertainty, telling Alan his discovery.

Allen in the middle pondered for a while, and first explained the origin of the small light clusters to Eli Cop: "These small light clusters are the dark elements that have manifested, because the energy field around your body fluctuated too much just now, they were attracted Come, affected by your energy field, they take on visible physical form."

"So if I continue to absorb them, the content of dark elements in my body will further increase, and maybe the ability will also increase accordingly... Can this be understood?" Eli tried to touch another light ball while talking, I "sucked" it in from my fingertips, and felt it carefully, "When I absorbed them, I only felt a little hot, like touching some hot water, but I didn't feel anything unusual."

"This shows that your body accepts these dark elements well." Allen said, "When the elemental energy you absorb exceeds a certain value, enhancement is one of the possible results, but it is also possible that excessive elemental absorption exceeds the body's tolerance. Ultimately, the ability to go berserk and an accident will eventually occur.”

Eli: "Then I..."

Allen: "Just keep absorbing it."

Originally, Eli had already given up, thinking that he would stop touching the light clusters as if he had discovered something interesting, and was about to ask Alan if he could make these light clusters disappear and calm his energy field Methods.

Allen's answer was completely unexpected, which made him startled.

"I'll watch you." Alan's voice came out unhurriedly, the bathroom door somewhat blocked his voice, but it didn't affect the attraction of that voice to Eli.

Eli was calmed down by Allen's voice, and he heard the other party continue: "You continue to absorb these attracted dark element light clusters, I have an abyss order in my hand, if you start to show signs of power runaway, or energy The fields swelled to the limit, and I was warned before they actually happened."

"I'm watching you here. In case of accidental risk, I will hold you before the accident."

Eli temporarily lost his ears but "moved slightly", but his imaginary pair of ears stood up.

Alan didn't seem to say anything particularly touching, but the words "I'll watch you" and "I'll hold you" hit a soft spot in Eli's heart.

Critical moments will grab your commitment.It's like the rope that is firmly tied around the waist when walking on the edge of the cliff, and the end is held in another person's hand.

It is also like the only small lamp when walking in the dark night, but the long handle of the lamp is attached by another person, and it is the light shared by the other party.

... Only those who can give all their trust can have the courage to entrust themselves to the other party like this.

"Okay." Eli said.

He thought he had been thinking for a long time, but in fact, no more than ten seconds had passed in reality.

Allen can hear the full sense of trust from this laughing "yes" without relying on the abyss order. He and Eli are like each holding an invisible long brush that can only penetrate the wall, each lightly poking The heart of the other party depends on who gives the other party that slap that makes the heart feel weaker, and the corners of the lips rise.

"Let's get started." There was a smile in Alan's voice.

That little smile made his voice sound softer, but his voice line tends to be deep. When he speaks in a soft tone, he seems to be able to resonate, and his voice teases the listener vaguely like a small feather. The eardrums and ear canals... The undead skeleton outside suddenly shrank its neck and let out a loud "click"!

Allen: "...what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Eli screwed back the slightly misaligned joint with two "clicks" and replied calmly, "Let's start."

Although he was a little confused about the situation outside, seeing that the energy field of the undead skeleton did not fluctuate as violently as before, Allen let out a "huh", suppressed his doubts for the time being, and continued to concentrate on observing the energy fluctuations of the undead.

The Abyss Order is not only an undead sensor with a wide range, but also a space-distance polygraph with race screening function, and an undead "tiger charm" that can dispatch troops at critical moments.

In addition to the above functions, it also serves as the designated undead status monitoring function, the energy field suppression and balance function, etc., which can be said to integrate multiple functions into one.

Allen called up the Abyss Order before to help Eli adjust his emotions. Now, because he and Eli decided to take advantage of the trend to test the increase in ability and wanted to find the upper limit of Eli's dark element absorption capacity, the Abyss Order just continued to come in handy. It has become the "safety rope" that Alan always pays attention to Lai Lai.

The results of the test are finally gratifying.

The ability runaway that Allen had been preparing to deal with did not happen.

When the dark element light around Eli was at its peak, the entire spacious hotel room was illuminated by the energy light cluster attracted by him.

Those energy light clusters seemed inexhaustible, the more he absorbed, the more they were attracted, one after another small light clusters appeared in the room one after another, almost spreading a dark sea of ​​light in the room.

The bathroom where Allen was in was not affected by the "sea of ​​light". When he "seeed" through the abyss that Eli's energy field had been completely stabilized, and the content of dark elements flowing steadily along the trajectory was at least three times higher than before, he He also heard Eli's voice calling him.

"Ellen."

Eli didn't use his spirit to communicate, but actually opened his mouth to call Alan, and he said, "I seem to be fine."

Allen opened the bathroom door again and walked outside.

An Eli, who at first glance was not much different from the human state, bumped into his eyes.

Seeing that Allen who came out looked at him in a daze, Eli still didn't know what he looked like at the moment, so he reached out and touched his face with some anxiety: "Is it... very strange?"

He asked hesitantly, and couldn't help but took two steps forward.

Because these two steps happened to allow him to walk into the light range of the white light in the bathroom, after leaving the warm light in the room, Allen could see the changes in Eli more clearly.

That "no difference" is just an illusion brought about by the previous light.

"It's not surprising." Alan shook his head quickly, his eyes swept over the pale blond young man, "You look a lot like your mother now."

Eli paused: "My mother?"

"Yes." Allen continued to compare the images of the two in his heart, and he said, "You look a lot like the day she arrived at the Hall of the Lord of the Undead and transformed in front of the elders."

The blond hair that was originally as bright as the warm sun seemed to have faded, and became a light gold that would be almost silvery white under certain light, and the skin tone that was already leaning towards cold white before became paler, with a light tinge under the skin. The hair is covered in dark gray, the tips of the ears have changed from round to pointed and long, and the color of the irises seems to have deepened. At first glance, there seems to be a deep purple in the deep blue eyes.

"The hair has grown a little too." Allen unconsciously stretched out his hand to the obviously growing hair, and he stroked the hair hanging on the back of Eli's neck.

It was only when Eli noticed that his hair had grown, and he was itchy from the hair sweeping across his neck, and he tilted his head unconsciously: "I haven't noticed this yet, so you don't think it's strange... um , I want to find a mirror to see what I look like now."

"There is a mirror in the bathroom." Allen said, but he didn't mean to give up the bathroom entrance, "but I don't suggest you go in and take a picture now."

Eli: "Huh?"

Allen was very gentlemanly and only pressed the back of the blond undead. He reminded the other party to pay attention to another fact that cannot be ignored: "clothes."

"..." Eli froze for a moment because of this shot.

He just remembered that just now, because he got rid of the trousers that made the skeleton embarrassed, he felt that it seemed inappropriate to only wear a top. Relying on his own skeleton, he generously took off his top, showing the true nature of a skeleton.

Then he absorbed the energy of the dark element, trying to explore the energy reserve and the upper limit of the increase... At this time, he successfully advanced into the appearance of a high-level undead with a real body, and of course he had no clothes.

Fortunately, the high-level undead who can already skillfully use some small techniques are different from the clumsy undead skeleton back then. Eli quickly summoned a dozen energy light clusters, and let the dark light clusters surging around his body give him Put on a "light robe", then took the clothes that Alan had summoned at some time, and quickly entered the bathroom with the other party.

At the moment when the blond youth passed by in a hurry, Alan's nose twitched unconsciously.

"Eli."

"Uh-huh?"

The undead who was dressing in the bathroom heard Alan calling himself, and he responded immediately, and then felt that the other party's voice seemed to sound a little different from usual.

"Did you spray something?" Allen continued to ask, and he turned towards the bathroom door that the undead hadn't closed carefully.

"Sprayed something?" Eli's somewhat inexplicable rhetorical question came from the open door.

At the same time, there was also the smell that Alan was particularly concerned about just now.
