Returning from the abyss

Chapter 1260 New Neighbors

Dana is an elf from the Ancient Tree Clan, and one of the few elf groups in New Tree Studios that has not been affected by recent changes. After all, the Gushu Clan was the clan that was initially supported by Ellu and others. During this great liquidation, as long as the Gushu Clan does not jump out to express its opposition, nothing will happen.

But his neighbors are missing several people, such as the old guy with a hot temper who likes to sit at the door and curse that the elves have lost their previous bravery. He disappeared after one night. There was also an elf who lived next door who was a bit gloomy every day. After a slight commotion one day, she was never seen again.

Dana himself was actually a little panicked, but his daily life was not affected. Several stores were closed, but there were also stores that could be replaced. The distribution of important supplies is also going as usual, and it can even be said to be a little better than before - no elves are quarreling at the supply point.

The vacant house quickly welcomed new tenants.

When Dana went out to fetch water, he saw his new neighbor who had moved in. It was a slightly petite gray elf. The gray elves are not a clan that has been passed down for a long time, but are a mixture of various elven bloodlines. For some more traditional elves, they do not need to be concerned about. Dana didn't think so. As the situation became more and more tense, more and more wandering elves began to gather in New Tree Shadow City. This way, more elves could be retained, which was also a good thing.

So he asked.

"Do you need help?"

"Thank you." Gray Elf placed the package in his hand in the room, "I don't have much."

"Oh, oh." Dana felt that he had made a mistake. People who have been wandering outside are very vigilant. Even if there is nothing, they usually won't let others touch it.

However, there is no problem with normal communication. Although the gray elf is wary, he also knows that he has arrived in a relatively peaceful environment. Dana chatted with the other party for a few words and learned that the other party's name was Ye Nai, hiding all the way from the southeast. Danger has come.

Earlier, Ye Nai lived in a small shelter, but as disasters became more frequent, the shelter eventually failed to survive.

Dana was appropriately sympathetic and willing to be a guide to the other person's life here. But Ye Nai declined him politely and said that she could live well here. He disagreed with this. Although Xinshu Cinema has many support policies for newcomers, most newcomers can't figure out the difference between this place and their original small shelter.

However, the next day, he found that Ye Nai had gone to get an opening permit and came back. It took less than half a day to reopen a store next to a closed store.

Sells handmade medicines, handcrafted objects, and processed beasts.

Nowadays, food, weapons, etc. are all under control. Among the items that can be sold, these are relatively easy to obtain raw materials. All you have to do is go to the forest. However, the quality of Ye Nai's things is very good, especially medicines. Xinshu Cinema has no strict restrictions on the sale of drugs, generally because the elves all have some knowledge of pharmacology. But even from the perspective of the elves, the medicine Ye Nai mixed with herbs and some beast blood, minerals and the like also had a very good symptomatic effect.

After several elves who often went out hunting tried the wound medicine here, they quickly attracted a large number of customers. Some older elves also came here to buy some supplements. Ye Nai accepted barter, so they also exchanged the raw materials they dried with Ye Nai. Soon, Dana discovered that Ye Nai really didn't need any help. She had already run her own small store.

——Also because many stores were closed during this period, Ye Nai just seized this opportunity.

Dana was a little envious. He had entered the later stage of his second life. Although he was still in his prime, he could already clearly feel that his age was taking away his vitality. Seeing that Ye Nai was able to run his own shop with so much energy, he even felt that time could not wait for us.

Yesterday another recruitment started... The elven army of Dana's age has stopped recruiting. He is not that aggressive, but he can smell the breath of war approaching.

Dana unfolded a notice in his hand.

He mainly does clerical work now, and his position is regarded as the civil administrator of this street. He has a little power, but not much. He must admit that some of the elves who disappeared silently came from his reports.

"This is all for stability..." Dana placed the notice on the table and sighed softly. He prefers that his neighbors are honest people like Ye Nai who really want to live a good life, rather than a group of fighting maniacs who will cause trouble if they don't fight.

But today's notice made him hesitate. Although he himself could not join the army, those good talents among the elves must be reported. According to Dana's observations over the past few days, although Ye Nai is a little smaller in stature, she is an energetic and energetic young warrior.

"Should we be sending our young men into battle... when our enemies are ethereal doomsday or even gods?"

Dana hesitated for a moment and decided to press the report temporarily.

He took the distributed lunch and a piece of pie and walked home. I happened to pass by Ye Nai's shop on the way.

This small shop opens in the morning and closes very early in the afternoon. After all, the goods are made by Ye Nai herself, so it takes a lot of time to stock them. In addition to relying on some barter materials, she also needs to purchase many materials.

Dana arrived just in time before the store closed. At this time, there were still more than a dozen people queuing up at the door of the store. He noticed that after a few hunters left, three or five young-looking elves gathered around the door of the store instead of lining up one by one.

"Ugh……"

Dana walked over, this kind of thing was inevitable, he had seen it several times. Although Ye Nai is a gray elf, her appearance is not bad, she is young, and she has the skills to make medicine and make handicrafts. This is already a good condition in today's Xinshu Cinema, and she will naturally attract the pursuit of some elves. Situations like this have happened before, but the pursuit of the elves is usually quite restrained, and Dana will not care about it, but this time it is different.

"Everyone, don't crowd around here." He walked forward and patted the shoulder of the elf closest to him, "Pay attention to order."

"Oh, who are you?" The elf turned his head and looked at Dana, and said rather provocatively.

I don’t know which clan the young man is from...

Dana knew what was going on with this group of young people. Once they met multiple people with the same goal, their competitiveness and fighting spirit would be aroused, and they would even agree on a courtship competition. But they never notice how much impact it will have on other people's lives, the recklessness of their passion.

"Ye Nai, if you are not interested in them, just reject them. There is no need to worry about them." Dana ignored the young man and just said to Ye Nai in the store, "This kind of thing is very common, but Xin Shuyingcheng prohibits forcing others on emotions, just refuse them.”

"okay."

Dana admired Ye Nai's decisive behavior very much. With so many people pursuing her, any hesitation may be seen as an opportunity by these people. These elves who are blinded by hormones are not There are so many worries, so the only way is to kill the possibility before that happens.

After those people left angrily, the team quickly restored order. Dana received a small wooden handicraft from Ye Nai, and he did not refuse. He waved his hand and walked home for lunch.

For him, a street manager, this is just an episode. He is very willing to provide a little convenience to the new neighbors. This is probably one of the reasons why he can hold this position. Dana believes that although he is not a warmhearted person, he still wants to contribute to the elves who are looking forward to a normal life.

After eating lunch and taking a nap as usual, it was time to go to work in the afternoon. After many problem elves disappeared, his work became a lot more leisurely. After fiddling with spell configurations and writing notes, Dana waited until it was time to get off work. He went to the cafeteria to get another dinner, and then walked home. "It's only now that I feel... there are really a lot of people missing."

There were a few more people during the day, but in the evening, there were no more people to be seen. Dana was thinking as he walked, whether he should make a suggestion to the superiors tomorrow and arrange for more newly admitted wandering elves. As long as they are not thorns, he is willing to provide appropriate help to at least make this street look better. Somewhat popular.

Just as he was thinking about this, a wave of magic suddenly flashed through. Dana stopped abruptly, and a defensive magic formed in his hand, blocking the magic that was attacking him. But then, another magic attack came from behind. His brain had already reacted, but his body was half a minute slower.

When he fell, Dana even thought, if he could be ten years younger, even five years...

"This nosy guy..."

"He is from the Gushu clan."

Several elves quickly gathered around him and carried him to a nearby alley.

"Ha, Gushu clan, so many of our clan members have been arrested, but none of them have done anything."

"Tiantian claims to be fair, but where is the fairness?"

Several elves cursed and threw Dana into the alley, where a man in a cloak stood in the alley.

"Look, it's very simple, right?" His voice seemed to have magical power, soothing the restless young elves.

"But what if he complains later? We can't kill him!" The tallest elf also realized some problems at this time, "Even if we can beat him to vent his anger..."

"It's very simple. Can't we just make him a companion in the future?" said the cloaked man. "Although he doesn't have a lot of power, he still has some room to use his abilities. And that female elf who has fallen into disgrace to you, what are you still doing?" Do you want to pursue her? Or do you want her to suffer for rejecting you in public? "

"Also...there is no need to retaliate so excessively, we should abide by some..."

"Following the rules is an important reason why you can't get the results you want. What you want should be done. The Lord should have told you, right? You just want fair treatment and a fair pursuit of women. , is there anything wrong with this? In the face of injustice, if no one stands up and speaks out, fairness will never be achieved. "

"But she just rejected us. Since it's fair, she can refuse..."

"Yes, she just used an inappropriate method. Don't be so nervous. I didn't say to deal with her like this elf. I know what you are thinking, so we can take some other methods."

"Any other way?"

"I heard that the elves are recruiting soldiers? You are all of age, right? Then you might as well join the army. I think that in today's current situation, you can't escape, so you might as well take this opportunity to ask for an opportunity to make contributions. , that elf is also of the right age. You all join the army. On the one hand, it will make her suffer a little, and on the other hand, it will also give you a chance to show yourself. The most important thing is..."

"Our competition can continue!"

Several young elves immediately rekindled their fighting spirit.

"Yes, competing with each other as excellent soldiers is much better than what you are doing today."

"But, I heard that our opponent is a god..."

"My Lord who looks after you is also a god, so what do you have to worry about?"

After a moment of silence, the tall elf suddenly slapped the wall: "Just do it!"

"Wise choice. Leave this elf here. Tomorrow, he will be your companion. Don't worry, everything will be as you wish. Go towards the stars, there is a road prepared for you there."

The young elves left the alley confidently.

The man in the cloak squatted down in front of Dana, his hands reached out from under the cloak, and several white cloth straps hung down on Dana's head.

"Ah, an elf who feels sad for his old age and a defender of order. Very good, meet the Lord in the dream, and then take back everything you once looked back on."

……

When night fell, Dana finally woke up. He rubbed the back of his head, which was still aching, and remembered what had happened to him.

"It's a pity that I didn't see who it was... Even if I could guess it, there is no evidence."

He got up, looked around, and found that his dinner bag had been thrown aside, but it was not spilled.

"Huh, young and energetic brat."

Dana bent down to pick up his dinner, and a white cloth strap fell from his wrist. When he saw the cloth bag, his expression was slightly dazed.

"It's so late... I still have work to do tomorrow. By the way, it's time to submit the list of suitable personnel."

He picked up the package and walked out of the alley.

"It's just that if this happens, I'm afraid we will have a new neighbor soon."
