The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 25 The Wind at the Fireside
Although the elf pseudo-mother turned into a little elf girl caused quite a shock, but it is not so difficult to accept in this strange world. You will never be able to guess the magic caused by various strange magic props.

The Miracle of Agatha, a female elf mage named Agatha once made a mask with magical powers, people who wear it can disguise themselves into other appearances, including height, body shape, smell, race, etc. But since the elf died, the magic mask disappeared with it.Later, some elf mages imitated a few "cottage version" masks. These magic items with relatively weak camouflage ability are called Agatha's masks. They can hide a person's gender and appearance, but their body shape and smell cannot. Change.

After a small episode, the convoy continued on the road the next morning, and the elf changed back to the appearance of a male elf. When she wanted to harass Chen Jinyang in an ambiguous way again, she knew that she had taken advantage of the nasty man, He continued to pretend to be heartbroken, but in fact he had already burst into laughter in his heart. This innocent little elf was so innocent and cute. Chen Jinyang had the feeling of teasing a one or two-year-old kid.

The mercenaries and guards looked at the funny little tricks of the two with amused and envious eyes, and the elf girl who thought she had a plan was still carrying out her own "revenge" action with great interest.On the contrary, Chen Jinyang was a little embarrassed by others, his old face blushed and he could no longer pretend, and he returned an extremely nasty grimace to the innocent little girl. Stomping and running away amidst loud laughter, Misha'er, who thought it was funny, chased after the elf's buttocks and imitated Chen Jinyang's appearance to make faces. The girl who became angry from embarrassment reached out and grabbed the little girl's tender face and rubbed it vigorously. The two cute little girls The guy chirped and made a fuss.

The attention of the prank-loving elf girl was diverted, and Chen Jinyang, who was a little embarrassed, finally breathed a sigh of relief. The environment along the way predicted possible accidents, and Chen Jinyang assigned Finia to guard the little girl early in the morning for personal protection. Of course, more often than not, the giantess is not a qualified guard, but more like a fighter who charges into battle.

The little elf Xingye finally stopped being entangled in ridiculous revenge tricks, and instead came up with the idea of ​​Misha's helmet, but she completely underestimated the little girl's skill and will, when the elf first came out unexpectedly from the fiery red curly hair When he got the Horn of Cole and was amazed by its special material and hidden magic power, the little guy used the fighting skills taught by his brother to insert his little feet between the legs of the elf who didn't look much stronger than her. An elf's knees, a little butt pouted, the careless elf girl suddenly lost her balance and was thrown on a heavy horse. The little girl happily picked up the helmet that was thrown off (the elf) and hid behind the giantess , and then revealed a small head wearing a helmet, grinning and continuing to make faces at the dazed elf lying on the ground.

The elf girl who suffered a loss got up from the ground in embarrassment, and rushed towards Finia with her teeth and claws. The little girl hurriedly said to the giantess: "Sister Finia! Don't let this hateful elf approach!"

After hearing the words, Phinya agreed, and happily lifted the giant ice ax in his hand and waved it. The cold and wide ax blocked the rushing elves, and said excitedly: "You cunning little thing! Cowardly guy hiding in the distance! It's you who shot me in the leg! Don't come near! Or I don't mind chopping your head off your skinny shoulders! Humph!"

Out of fear of the frost giants, the elf girl really didn't dare to try the possibility of Phinia's words. She took a few steps away from the threat of the ice giant ax and said firmly: "Big brainless guy! Barbaric guy I'm not afraid of you! Humph—!" Then he threatened the little girl hiding behind the giant, "Little one! Give me the helmet! Otherwise, I'll fuck your little face!"

The little girl was so frightened that she quickly covered her cheeks with her hands, and then realized that the elves couldn't get close to her, and said angrily, "I'm not afraid of you! The elves are cowards! Come and twist me! Come and twist me! Hehehe! "Misha'er twisted her little face to tease the elves.

"The little one is the worst! I'm going to be angry! Will you give it to me? Will you give it to me?" The elf girl who was so angry that her little nose was crooked stamped her feet and circled around the giantess.

"No! No!" The little girl simply climbed onto Finia's back, ignoring the elf who was about to run away.

The elf girl who couldn't get close was depressed for a while, and then took a few breaths to calm down the turbulent anger. She took out a few exquisite objects from the small satchel, conjured up a reluctant smiling face, and looked at the little girl Temptingly said: "Lovely Misha! Can you show me your helmet? Hey! If you let me see, I will give you all these beautiful headgear!"

The little girl turned her head and "hummed", pretending to be dismissive, but in fact, the small gesture of sneaking a glance from time to time had completely betrayed her inner thoughts, and the proud elf girl took out a few fist-sized ones from her small bag Holding purple berries and some exquisite snacks, he shook them at the little girl and said, "How about it? The sweetest purple berries in the highest forest! There are also special snacks made by our Star-Moon Elf Tribe! Just let Let me take a look! These are all yours!"

The little girl nodded her head immediately, then shook her head and said, "No way! What if you lied to me? Why don't you let me taste it first?"

Alos next to him covered his forehead with his hands, sweating profusely: Misha's learning is bad!I shouldn't have used this method to tease her before I knew it!I wonder if William will blame me if he finds out?

The innocent elf quickly agreed, for fear that the little girl would regret it.

"Sister Phinya! Help me bring those things here!" Mishaer instructed the giantess to reach out to take the bait from the elf, and Phinya took the bait from the elf with one hand, and stretched it out in front of the little girl. , the little witty ghost grabbed a purple berry and stuffed it into the mouth of partner Finia.The two of you, you and I, ate up all the delicacies "contributed" by the elves in a short while.

The elf girl looked distressed at Mi Sha'er nibbling the last purple berry slowly, and asked impatiently, "You've eaten all the food! It's time for me to see the helmet!"

"Do you really have to just take a look?"

"It's really just a glance!"

"Okay! Let me show you!" The little girl took off the horn of Cole on her head, shook it at the elf a few times, then put it on her head again, and continued to gnaw the fresh fruit in her hand.

Seeing Misha'er's strange movements, the elf girl asked impatiently: "What are you doing? Hurry up and give it to me!"

"Didn't you just take a look? You've seen it now! Hee hee! I mean what I say!" The little girl replied triumphantly.

Finally realizing that he had been tricked, the elf was so angry that tears were almost streaming down his face: "Damn little one! How dare you lie to me! I won't let you go!"

"Haha! I learned this from Alos! Oh! Are you going to cry? Hey! Return the tiara! Sister Phinya! Don't let him approach!"

Intimidation and temptation!She racked her brains and exhausted all means, but the elf girl was still unable to do anything to get Misha, who was protected by Finia. The two little friends went up and down, like two chickens vying for bugs, their eyes widened. They looked at each other angrily and refused to give in, which caused the others to laugh heartily.

Perhaps it was because the cheerful atmosphere infected the entire convoy. All the people forgot the fatigue of the journey. When they camped and rested, the distance they traveled was more than double that of yesterday.There were no monsters or wild beasts to disturb along the way, and everyone relaxed their vigilance, and had dinner easily and happily, except for the stuffy Moon Elf pretender——Alafael Starry Night, or should It's called Elf Starry Night.

The enthusiastic mercenaries sang an ancient song widely spread in the Northland around the bonfire:
when you shiver in the cold and the dark

Watching the fire, watching the sparks—

that's my eyes

follow for you
When you walk into the howling cold wind

Listen to the howling of wolves

this is my singing

sing for you
When you get lost in the snow without a trace

Looking up at the soaring eagle

there is my star

blink for you
In deep dark mines, or crumbling mountains
listen to my love language
my thoughts
be with you
you are not abandoned
you are not forgotten
The north wind cannot swallow you

The wind and snow can't bury you

i will come to find you
Felon is warmer
god will smile
but!oh!my sweetheart!Take care of yourself--

It might be a long, long time
All the people were immersed in this ancient and affectionate ballad, including Chen Jinyang who did not understand the meaning of the verses of the ballad. The desolate and sad tune shook his heart. In the world of pain and helplessness, the last sustenance and hope burst out.

No one noticed that the secretly sulking elf had left the convoy and was alone in the dangerous wilderness.The little girl who had confronted the elves all day fell asleep peacefully in Chen Jinyang's arms to the sound of singing, and was then carried into a tent and covered with soft winter wolf fur.

The stuffy elf kicked the dirt on the ground aimlessly, and also didn't notice that she was far away from the camp. When she could no longer see the ground under her feet, she suddenly looked up and found that the bonfire in the direction of the camp was bigger than a bonfire. Tiny candles are still diminutive.

The poor little girl was suddenly surrounded by darkness and fear. With tears in her eyes, she slowly moved towards the camp, but she always felt that there was something following her behind her. Occupied by fear, she tried to escape back to the camp as quickly as possible, but she was still unable to move her stiff legs. Elf heard a slight rustling sound behind her, and she turned around suddenly, a dark The beast figure was standing not far behind her, with amber green pupils staring at the lonely elf.

"Ah—!" The elf girl screamed, and suddenly gained strength and ran towards the camp, looking back from time to time while running, and then found her green eyes following behind her, she screamed louder, and ran even faster up.

When there were more than a hundred meters away from the camp, the elf who was exhausted from running finally tripped over the messy tree roots under her feet and fell to the ground. A figure covered in a deep cloak came to her, leaning over her body and protruding out of the dark blur. Arm, the elf girl raised her chin and looked up, a pair of deep purple flames were burning under the dim hood.

The little elf Xingye "Ah!" let out a shrill scream, tilted his head and fainted from fright.
