DNF, made by the ancient gods

It was hard for her to imagine what kind of creature could kill wild wolves so easily. There were no less than four dead wolves here, and she couldn't tell the rest of the minced meat. This made the girl's heart skip a beat. From the perspective of the girl who had been living near the hut, the wild wolf was already a very terrifying creature—both mother and father said so.

Ordinary people encounter this thing in the forest... basically die.

"Is it a griffin? Or a legendary dragon..."

She thought of the creatures in the story. In this world with high energy activity, fantasy species don't just exist in storybooks... although ordinary people basically can't see it.

She first took a few steps back from each other, and after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was too dangerous to stay here, so she clutched the old tablecloth on the basket, turned around and walked away in small steps.

She wisely chose to follow her heart.

But fate is not so easy to avoid.

Looking at the entire timeline, everything that happens here is "inevitable", even if it seems to be just accidental, in fact there is no second possibility at all.

Once any external cause wants to interfere with this "necessity", then this external cause will disappear in an instant—disappear under the gaze of the four eyes.

Even if someone is unwilling to accept this fate.

Even if someone wants to try his best to resist fate.

There was a rustling sound, and the emerald green leaves floated towards the light blue sky under the embrace of the wind.

"Hello, unknown lady."

Tilting his head slightly, his pretty face showed an inquiring expression, his scarlet pupils were tightly focused on the delicate figure, but he seemed to feel that it was impolite, so he looked away again.

The long-eared outsider came out from behind the tree trunk, and put away the stick dyed light blue by the magic power. The transfiguration formula engraved on it made it possible for the Windchaser to hide it.

"That's great. I thought there were only trees and beasts in this forest. I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet a beautiful lady."

He has no intention of pretending to be a hunter or a woodcutter, and his attire has nothing to do with a hunter or a woodcutter... Although from a rational point of view, the identity of this "lost traveler" is also full of loopholes.

But, he really has no better reason, and no matter what... this girl who has "simpleness" written on her face is not a smart person who pays attention to everything, right?

As long as he can stay, he will always have a chance to gain her trust.

"Do you know the way?"

Chapter 011 The Cabin in the Woods

This kind of innocent little girl...is really easy to deceive.

"Maybe my sense of direction is really bad, and I got lost in this kind of place... Telling it may really make people laugh."

If anyone really wants to believe him.

"No, Mr. Gargamel, this forest is actually very big. It's normal for unfamiliar people to get lost."

The girl who was also lost made her fists slightly, and put on an encouraging smile on her small face, leaving a fuller image of this "elf" whose appearance was several grades higher than her father's rough guy.

——A somewhat...simple girl.

"Then you don't know about my situation. Look, I was able to lose the map. Now I'm in a bit of trouble."

He glanced at the girl, and if the situation allowed, he might touch this silly girl's head with "caring", and then tell her that the outside world may not be suitable for her now, and she should make full use of her wit , First figure out some interpersonal communication before coming out.

However, I really can't ask her too much...

From the very beginning, he knew that this girl was a commoner, maybe even a poor man, and her attire, which could be described as plain and somewhat forced, had already revealed her family background.

When he was "wandering" in the city, he had already understood that the education system in this world was as imperfect as the original Demon World, and it was not so easy for children from poor families to go to school.

If you don't have a systematic education, what can you do if your talent is high?To a certain extent, acquired learning is more advantageous than innate aptitude. If the former is put aside, then no matter how good the aptitude is, most of them can only be "disappeared by everyone."

In addition, judging from the distance from the forest to the city, this is beyond ordinary poverty. If they can barely survive, they will not survive in such a place far from the bustling.

In his opinion, this girl is a smarter child who has no education. Although she knows how to protect herself, she can't play tricks with a thoughtful person like him.

"Talking with you so much, you seem to have not answered my initial question."

He looked at the girl. He naturally knew that the girl didn't know the way. He had been observing her for more than ten minutes. The so-called smart girl was just like a headless chicken running around in the forest without a clear route at all.

He didn't think running around in the forest was fun enough for a girl to devote herself to it.

"Do you know the way?"

The girl's face froze, and she smiled a little forcedly.

"Ahem... Mr. Gargamel, I'm lost too."

*

So, she is "Lily".

Get her name out of the girl's mouth, and Bai En, who hid his doubts in his heart, still maintains a very normal expression, without surprise, joy or melancholy.

"It's a nice name."

As far as the name goes, it's pretty common.

"You want to bring food to your father, don't you?"

He opened up the topic. When walking side by side with a girl, he couldn't just be like a log. If you expect this kind of girl who is not very extroverted to actively talk to people, it would be too simple to think about things.

"Ah."

When this matter was mentioned, Lily's expression was a bit complicated.

"Father, he went into the forest to cut trees. I have to deliver the meal while he is resting. This is very important. If you are late..."

"He will punish you?"

"No, my father will scold me at most, but if I don't rush over and don't go home, my mother will be very worried about me. If I don't go back the next day, then my mother will die of grief."

"Then your mother must love you very much."

"She loves me so much. Among me and my two sisters, my mother must love me the most."

This is a completely different treatment from a certain queen. They are also three daughters in the family, but they have two personalities due to different family backgrounds.

"Two sisters?"

Bai En grasped the point of the topic.

"Yes, I have two older sisters."

Speaking of this matter, Lily's face was filled with sadness. She glanced at Bai En secretly. The side face of this "elf" is quite attractive, but she is not walking with Bai En just because of his "harmless" performance .

Even if she doesn't have much thought, she knows how to protect herself in the forest.

And there is no doubt that if Bai En is with her, she will be much safer.

The premise is that Bai En is not a villain, but villains will not reason with her like this. In the fairy tales told by her mother, there is no elf who is a villain, and it is impossible for a villain to be so polite. Those robbers and robbers will probably directly Robbery, robbery... well, she doesn't have money.

"The older sisters are all missing. They went to deliver food to their father. The eldest sister went out the day before yesterday, and the second sister went out yesterday...but they all lost their way in the forest. No matter what the meal was not delivered, no one was there. Gone."

In the eyes of this small family, the two daughters must be in danger.The unexplored forest is not a place for entertainment where people can come and go as they please. Two little girls who have not received survival training spend the night in the forest... The bones are probably almost digested in the stomachs of jackals, tigers and leopards.

Therefore, when she saw Bai En, Lily walked with him as much as possible. The sense of security when two people walk together is not comparable to walking alone.

"Didn't go home...?"

— to save the innocent.

The mind is a little active, but the face still maintains a heavy expression.

"This kind of experience is too pitiful, but please rest assured, you have to believe that your sisters are good children, fate will not treat good children badly, and they will definitely come back safely."

Following Lily was indeed a correct decision.

Bai En has dug out a lot of information from the girl's mouth, and since the disappearance of the two sisters has nothing to do with Lily, she never suspected that Bai En was just talking.

Up to now, the context of the matter has gradually become clear. There is a lot of information in what Lily said. The information sounds messy, but to Bai En, he has a main line that will never be shaken.

- Cabin in the woods.

This is the task name of the side mission, which means that the whole side mission will not break away from the main line.Literally, it means that there is a hut hidden in this forest.

——Protect Lily, save the innocent.

The first thing that can be determined is that Lily must be an important figure in this main line, and judging from the information she provided, those "innocents" may be her two sisters...or more.

The reason is that her sister has disappeared, and she herself is "lost". It is not difficult for him to imagine that Lily will encounter something similar to her sister in the process of getting lost.

So, what about the stage where the story is presented?

Cabin in the woods.

He turned his head inadvertently, and glanced at the gray pigeon on the branch.

Still following.

Chapter 012 The Cabin in the Woods

Is the cabin in the woods hard to find?

Bai En found that this thing was really hard to find. He took Lily for a long time to wander in the forest. Although he walked slowly due to taking care of Lily, this was still a place where he had perceived a quarter of the forest.

If it weren't for him, a companion who could offer opinions anytime and anywhere, Lily might have walked out of the forest...Of course, it might be the other end of the forest.

In short, the experience of wandering in the forest all day made Bai En a little unhappy.He was in communication with the wind at all times, which was the equivalent of driving a range radar through the forest, but even then he gained nothing.

He felt a little tired, and even the physique of a Demon Realm couldn't handle playing like this... If there was another 37 hours of high-intensity magic power running, he might faint on the spot.

But he couldn't say anything. Looking for a hut in the forest is a delicate job that requires patience. Although it is quite difficult, it is much better than finding a needle in a haystack.

However, during this exploration process, he also gradually had a doubt... Considering physical strength, he really doubts that Lily and her two missing sisters are really capable of walking so far in the forest?

And it's fine if they weren't eaten by wild beasts, but if they all happen to bump into the cabin in the woods... Is it really luck that can explain it?

—Remove the curse.

Regarding the third mission request, there seem to be some clues emerging.

"Mr. Gargamel, you can come over and eat something... After eating once in the afternoon, there is not much food left, we can take care of the leftovers."

The setting sun is like blood, and the darkness has replaced the brightness. The air in the forest was still very fresh, but now it looks particularly dull under the atmosphere.

Most primates don't like the dark, night is not their activity time, for them, light is the beginning of life.

It's getting late...

Silently, she took out all the food that she was going to give to her father. In fact, she took it out and ate it in the afternoon. At that time, she wanted to take Bai En with her, but it was unsuccessful.

There's nothing she can do about it, she's just an ordinary human being, and she can't keep carrying these burdens when she can't find her father.Moreover, she herself would feel hungry and tired. Walking for several hours consumed a lot of her energy, and she couldn't keep up without food supplements.

Moreover, she can't find her father, so she can't waste the food, right?

"I'm not hungry."

He waved his hand lightly, Bai En, who has always maintained his own image, did not come over this time.

"You also know that the physical strength of elves is much stronger than that of humans, and there is not much food in here, you should eat by yourself, save enough strength, and don't be unable to walk."

Just like a certain mage who didn't know the "elf" agreed, Bai En, who also didn't know the "elf", also admitted his identity as an elf.

Why not use a setting that can increase favorability?

"Really?"

To be honest, she has never seen a real elf, so her impression of elves is kind and refined.

But are elves physically stronger than humans?

maybe?

"real."

Gray pigeons landed on the branches, and the blood-stained setting sun also fell completely, and the silent darkness swept quickly from the place where the light disappeared like a tide.

There was a sound, and a huge target suddenly appeared in the originally quiet place, like a dot on the radar screen, which was extremely clear.

The crowing of cows, the crowing of chickens, the sound of human breathing, the crackling sound of burning firewood in the stove...

He pretended to turn his head unintentionally, the wind had already told him everything was abnormal.

This is... a curse?

Lily let out a cry of surprise, and Bai En looked over and found that it was the gray pigeon that had been following them and hovering around, attracting their eyes.

It flew in one direction, which was consistent with the direction of the sound that Bai En had detected.

A hut that only appears at night, gray pigeons in the forest... If there is really a girl walking alone in the forest, it must be easy to be led away and find that house under the guidance of gray pigeons. Cabin in the woods.
