The rescued villainous lady wants to go home with me

Although it is a stone statue, it reveals an aura of agility.

Finding Lorraine staring at the stone statue, Aigui explained, "That's Lord Tiante, the god we worship."

"god......"

Hearing this word, the corners of Lorraine's eyes twitched inexplicably.

The god I know is not the same as the god in people's impression.

Are they the same existence?

Lorraine looked at the face of the stone statue, but there was no carving of her appearance there, so he couldn't confirm it.

"But why is she in that posture?" Lorraine asked.

The stone statue is only in the pose of drawing a bow, but it doesn't have any bow or other weapons in its hands.

"Because Lord Tiante's weapon is there." Aigyi pointed to the small pond again.

There, the small pond reflects the appearance of the stone statue.

The difference is that the stone statue in the water holds a fully formed bow in its hand.

Lorraine rubbed his eyes, and re-examined the stone statue and the reflection in the water, thinking that he was wrong.

"Master Tiante's weapons can only be obtained by those she approves."

Aigeyi walked into the small pond and walked forward slowly. When he reached the reflection, he reached out to pick up the bow.

But no matter how he touched it, he still didn't get anything, only slight ripples scattered the reflection.

"It's amazing." Lorraine said with emotion.

But considering that there is magic in this world, such a situation is not too strange.

Ai Geyi waved the water stain in his hand, and then said to Lorraine, "Do you want to try it too?"

"Me?" Lorraine hesitated.

It is true that the people here saved themselves, but it would be a bit bad for an outsider to step into this seemingly important place.

"It's okay. We've all done it before," Egoy continued.

Lorraine smiled, not knowing whether to say that they didn't understand anything, or they were too naive.

For a stranger like myself, I don't look like a child from outside at all. You must know that even if those children don't have the warning of adults, most of them will instinctively show timidity in front of strangers.

The children next to him also started to boo. For a while, they seemed to be very familiar with Lorraine.

"alright."

Lorraine stepped forward into the pond, and the cool water made him shiver slightly.

"Just reach out and touch it." Aigai said when he saw Lorraine coming to his side.

Whether it's Ai Geyi or other children, their eyes are just like the water in this pond, without any other impurities.

Think of it as coaxing children.Lorraine thought.

Leaning slightly, put your hand in the water, and then just take your hand out again.

Just when it was about to touch the bottom, Lorraine froze.

Looking at the reflection in the lake, it was different from passing through the reflection when Aigeyi touched it just now. In Lorraine's eyes, he was holding the bow.

Wait, is it my delusion?

Lorraine subconsciously wanted to stretch out his other hand to rub his eyes, but only then remembered that his arm could not move yet.

But if this is an illusion, what's the matter with this touch?

Slowly raising his hand, the bow that was supposed to be the reflection also moved with his movements, and then got out of the water.

"This......"

As the children exclaimed, Lorraine looked at the bow in his hand in surprise. He lowered his head and looked into the pond. The reflection had disappeared. It would be better to say that the bow in his hand was that reflection.

Chapter 13

people who don't exist here

Behind the giant tree, a group of elves slowly walked towards the residence, but most of the elves' faces were covered by haze.

"Anmont, the situation seems to be getting less and less optimistic recently."

"Yes." The elf called Anmont nodded.

As the leader here, if anything happens to the elves, they will come to him to discuss it.

But this time, the problem is not about a single elf, but about this area.

"If it is not resolved as soon as possible, should we also consider evacuating from here?"

Those wild beasts and monsters left this area suddenly, not without purpose, just because this place is no longer suitable for them to survive.

"It's okay, the elf tree will protect us."

Anmont looked up at the giant tree. As usual, it kept scattering light spots, as if to appease everyone's heavy heart.

In fact, he has also considered whether to leave, but as they who have lived here for an unknown age, if they want to leave, where can they go?

Go outside the Aino Forest?That would be unrealistic.

It seemed that these words affected everyone's mood too much, so the person next to him changed the subject.

"I heard that when you and Lieradi went out to check the outside situation, you brought back an outside existence?"

"Yes, he was badly injured and it could be dangerous if he was left there, so I brought him back."

"When was the last time we saw the existence of the outside world, I almost forgot."

They are in the depths of the Aino forest, and they have not been in contact with the outside world for a long time. When was the last time they saw the outside world?

Decades ago?Or was it hundreds of years ago?

"I asked Aigui to watch him, I guess he will wake up soon." Anmont said.

Of course they were talking about Lorraine. Although his injury was serious, fortunately he didn't hurt his vitals.

As soon as they walked back to the giant tree, the group heard the noise of children.

"what happened?"

Everyone looked at each other in shock. Usually there would be sounds from their play, but never like this. It seemed like something special had happened.

Anmont looked carefully, and in front of the pond, children were surrounding a figure calling.

And that figure was Lorraine who was still in bandages.

Lorraine looked at the children around him, and didn't quite understand why they were happy, but they laughed, and he laughed too.

Joy will be passed on to each other, which is probably the case.

"Ai Geyi." Anmont called Ai Geyi from a distance.

Ai Geyi, who heard the voice, saw them and ran over quickly, "Father."

Suddenly, seeing the adults came back, all the children ran back to their families, and Lorraine was the only one left in front of the small pond.

Lorraine also looked at these people. Although they were called fathers by children, they did not look like elders. Lorraine even felt that they were slightly older than herself.

Anmont stepped forward, looked at Lorraine, and said, "You're awake."

He bandaged Lorraine's wound, so he knew Lorraine's situation relatively well, and thanks to his appearance, he was able to stay in the forest.

"Yes. Thank you for saving me." Lorraine said.This was one of the voices I heard before my consciousness was about to disappear.

Aigei, who was beside him, shook Anment's arm and said excitedly, "Father, big brother, he has got Lady Tiante's bow."

"Master Tiante's bow?"

Anmont was no stranger to the name and the bow deeply rooted in their hearts.

Many people have tried to retrieve the bow from the water since they were children, but without exception, they have never succeeded.

They have always believed that the bow held by the statue of Lord Tiante is something that does not exist in this world, and only those who are recognized can pick it up.

After hearing Aigei's words, everyone noticed Lorraine's unbandaged hand. The bow they were so familiar with was being held in his hand, and the water on the bow was slowly dripping, proving that it Just got out of the water not long ago.

Anmont and the others looked at Lorraine in disbelief, and fell into a strange silence for a while.

Being stared at like this, Lorraine felt a little embarrassed, handed the bow to Anmont, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I messed with your things without permission."

According to Aigei, they put every weapon in the pond themselves, and now they take one away for no reason, which is somewhat rude.

Regarding Lorraine's actions, Anmont didn't slow down immediately, and paused for a while before saying, "Did you take this from Lord Tiante?"

"Bring it over?" Lorraine wanted to scratch her head, but she couldn't use it now. "I just put my hand into the water and took it out."

All of them have tried this method, and even these children often try it as a joke, but only Lorraine in front of him succeeded.

"A bow that doesn't exist in the world, is it given to people who don't exist here?" Anmont said looking at the bow.

After a long pause, Anmont said to Lorraine, "This is given to you by Lord Tiante, so it already belongs to you."

"Hey, is this okay?" Lorraine was a little embarrassed, he hadn't thanked them for saving him, but now he wanted to take away something that seemed very important to them.

Before Anmont could speak, the leaves of the giant tree beside him suddenly began to tremble violently, and the scattered light spots suddenly increased.

"Something passed through the protection of the elf tree?"

Everyone became tense, even the children around him were holding on to the adults' clothes.

"what's going on?"

I don't know what the giant tree represents, but Lorraine feels that something is wrong.

At the same time, two figures walked over from the place covered by the spreading branches of the giant tree.

Xue Ni gasped and looked at the girl in front of her, her eyes were too tired to open.

Now her body is like being suspended by a thin thread, and when the thread is broken, she will also fall down.

She doesn't know how she got here, she just remembers that she followed the girl and kept rushing here and there in the woods. Obviously she didn't walk in a straight line, but when she turned her head, she found that she had gone a long way, like a trigger. What is the general mechanism.

"So you've grown so big." The girl sighed at the giant tree, then turned to look at Xueni, with a playful look on her face, "If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have grown up in such a short time. Even if you get here, you may never get here, thank you very much.”

Xue Ni couldn't understand what the girl meant, but kept murmuring the name on her lips to support herself.

Seeing that Xueni didn't respond to her, the girl spread her hands, "Forget it, let him help those children well in the future, take it as your thanks to me, after all, helping you is also helping him."

The girl looked at the giant tree again, and could vaguely see a group of figures rushing over from a distance.

"Okay, here they are, and I've done what I should have done."

After the words fell, the girl's figure disappeared from the spot, as if she had never appeared before.

Chapter 14

Got you

The inexplicable commotion caused some elves to check the situation, while the rest of the elves returned home with their children.

Lorraine originally thought that these adults would complain about why these children talked to a stranger like herself.

But when they looked at him, they also showed a faint smile, as if they were greeting him.

Is it the reason for this bow?Lorraine looked at the bow in his hand.

No matter how approachable the people here are, there is absolutely no need to be so polite to a stranger like yourself.

So Lorraine can only think that this bow has a special meaning to them.

"Master Tiante?" Lorraine looked at the stone statue again. The stone statue still maintained the posture of drawing the bow, and the unsculpted face was unpredictable.

"It seems that my father and I picked up something good this time."

After Anmont left, Aigyi turned and embraced another elf.

Seeing Lorraine looking at himself with a puzzled expression, Lieradi laughed, "Don't you remember? I carried you back."
