"That kind of thing doesn't matter, but if it's only half a month... dear, is the store busy recently?"

"It can be taken out for about a week at most."

Victoria clapped her hands, "Okay, it's decided, how about we go on a trip together next week?"

……

Irena woke up from her nap.

I was worried that if I got on the bed, I would relax too much, so I lay down at the table.

When he got up, there were red marks on his face, and the shoulder straps of his clothes slipped to the side, revealing his smooth and delicate collarbones and shoulders, with his hair hanging there.

The wind from the window blew, and the ends of her hair tickled her skin, which made her scratch it casually.

On the corner of the table, the birthday gift given to her by her brother, a clock from a distant clock town rotates quietly, the time is two o'clock in the afternoon.

"I overslept a little. I still have books to read. I'll try harder tonight..."

"Irena."

After a gentle knock on the door, a familiar voice came from behind the door.

It was different from what she remembered when she was a child. After entering puberty, a person's voice would change a lot. At that time, in order not to make her feel scared, her brother would come back every month to chat with her in a soft voice and help her. She remembers that when she really can't come back, she will engrave her words in crystal and send them back.

Irena's first reaction was that she didn't wake up from the dream.

She decisively leaned back on the table.

Don't wake up, don't wake up, don't wake up...

Looking forward to the continuation of the dream, and longing for the embrace of the kind person behind the door.

The conflicting and anxious mood spread like wildfire.

Finally, Irena stood up and opened the door.

"elder brother!"

Gap:Dark Elf

Before you travel, be prepared that not everything on your journey will be pleasant.

……

"Dark Elf?"

Facing the questioning voice coming from behind, the wandering businessman got excited and searched his mind to recall the relevant information.

This was a big customer, who took care of all the spices, coffee and cocoa that he shipped from distant islands. He was also a magical magician who transformed all the goods away with a "whoosh".

She looked like a lady who was as delicate as a noble lady. She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slender figure, fair skin, and white smooth hair. If the color of her eyes fell on ruby, she would definitely be of the highest quality in the country.

Other places are just like the witch in the traditional impression, mysterious and elusive. As for why he sat on the back of his carriage instead of flying around on a broom, the businessman did not dare to ask. He only knew that the other party had just come from a place called [Field] Return to the capital of Klausline.

"That's what I saw before I went to the island," the businessman asked. "Does the witch know about elves?"

"I know something," the magician nodded, "a magical species living in the forest, blond and blue-eyed, with eye-catching beauty and long lifespan. Now the elves on this continent should all be in the walled country and have weapons. Near the country."

The businessman wrote it down secretly.

"Ah hahaha, you are really knowledgeable. According to rumors, dark elves are similar to elves. Some people say they are a subspecies of elves. Both males and females have silver hair and golden eyes. Their skin is... Like...well, the distant Dashi, Poisoner, and Chocolate. I heard that they are a race that is not very popular with others. They are always hostile wherever they go. Or is it that they are 'popular' because they are too charming? ?”

What followed were some rumors, and the rigor and topic direction began to move closer to the field that bards are good at, which is the type that men like. Taking into account the magician behind him, he used all his life's learning to change to more subtle words. .

Some say that the race is depraved, and there are countless business travelers who have had overnight pleasure with it; some say that their lifespans are extremely long, and some old people are surprised when they meet acquaintances who greet them in their old age, and are surprised that their faces have not changed; some say that their hometown It was destroyed and is looking for a new home all over the continent.

……

What I saw and heard during the trip may be true or false. Most of the time it is enough to just listen to it for a while, but if you study it carefully, it is full of loopholes.

This is a hotel. In the light, Hidi recorded what he saw during this period.

He just went to a very strange place some time ago, the lonely overseas island [Crosslane, the Realm Capital], and met a magical lady. Unfortunately, he did not have a close friendship because that land seemed not to allow the existence of magic. He had to leave before his magic power was drained away.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough to catch a passing passenger ship. It would be bad if he really stopped there - Klaus Lane's ship to communicate with the outside world departs about half a year.

Forgive him.

It took me a while to recover my magic power, and I learned about the surrounding location with a merchant to prevent me from plunging into the deep mountains and old forests when my magic power was insufficient.

It's a country without magic, so you can't use magic. He almost fell into the sea several times on the boat because he saw jumping dolphins and wanted to touch them. Fortunately, he reacted in time before jumping.

What a novel experience.

After writing about that experience, Xidi began to figure out what happened to the dark elves.

This is not to write a guide to tasting different races. It is just a simple adolescent boy’s yearning for magical creatures. The giants of the deep sea, dragons, elves...those magnificent, huge, magical and exquisite ones are always fascinating.

The businessman's oral account is not very reliable and is probably similar to the popular adventure literature nowadays.

There is only one subspecies of elves, and that is the half-elves born with humans. Those creatures with pointed ears do not have excellent magical abilities as in the story. They cannot even use magic, and they are suspected of being reproductively isolated from species that are born with magical powers.

So succubus elves, blood elves, dwarf elves... unfortunately, none of them exist.

Only those humans who are also unable to use magic can have children with them.

Normally, two people who are unable to use magic will give birth to a child without magic talent, but Xi Di seems to have seen in a book that a legendary witch is of half-elf blood and also has the longevity of an elf. .

But there is no doubt that dark elves exist, and relevant stories are spread in various places. They seem to have been wandering, and no matter where they are, there are traces of them, as if they are looking for something.

It is speculated that the thing called the dark elf is just like the snow pea. It is called snow pea in the East and it is called snow pea in the West... The names vary from place to place, making it confusing in circulation.

Or it may be a race similar to elves, but people are forced to make assumptions.

He met a vampire during his travels. He also had blond hair and pointed ears, but his eyes were red. So think about it, if the blood-sucking racial habits were not so prominent, they might also have blood elves and the like. Call it something.

Xidi was very interested in those because he also had the blood of a foreign race. Sometimes he was concerned about his own life experience and wanted to know more about it.

He didn't plan to bother to check anything. The only remaining clues were probably completely dissipated with the destruction of Hameln. To say the least, there were some regrets, because Teacher Fran said that he had someone who loved him. Mother, but not even a trace could be found.

Really sorry.

The nib of the pen hung on the notebook. For a long time, before the ink fell, Xidi came to her senses and put away the pen.

Come here today.

……

A long time passed after that.

When Xidi almost forgot about the dark elves, he saw the dark elves with his own eyes in a remote forest.

It was an ordinary day. He was planning to go to the East. To be precise, he was going to the island country in the East to deal with some matters. He heard that Uncle Shira also went there some time ago.

Thinking about the journey, Xi Di passed by a forest and saw the rising smoke in the distance.

"Well, let's check the direction finally."

He was flying very fast, which also meant it would be troublesome if he went in the wrong direction, so he turned his crutches around and slowly dropped towards the area.

Those who light fires in the forest are basically not traveling alone. They are aware of the dangers of the forest. The light of fire may not necessarily protect them. Instead, it may light up the vision of predators. Therefore, there is a high probability that they are powerful magicians or businessmen working in a group. Team.

Here is the latter.

perhaps.

Neat tents were stationed in the open space, neat motorcades, and an inexplicably solemn atmosphere lingered, so much so that even the snoring of the horses pulling the carts seemed particularly harsh.

What's even stranger is the people coming and going. They all wear thick long clothes and trousers, and use heavy cloth to cover their mouths and noses. It seems to be a double-layer design, and the gaps are probably filled with purifying potions, goggles, and protective clothing. There are all kinds of uniforms, some people are patrolling with guns, and some are looking out with binoculars.

The problem is that even when walking around carrying firewood and supplies, they still look like this.

This is too similar. At first glance, it looks like the magical replicant mentioned in the popular novel that Xidi read some time ago.

……

Gap:Devil [-]

"We are dark elf hunters."

Seeing the Mingyue Badge of the association on the visitor's chest, the attitude of the residents was very friendly.

Xidi took a moment to reflect on what "dark elf hunter" meant. Generally, XX hunters are those who hunt XX.

Monster Hunter hunts various monsters - travel to the end of the world with your beloved;

Vampire hunters hunt vampires - vampires fall in love with big chicken legs.

So dark elf hunters, of course, hunt dark elves. I wonder if there will be any classic plot.

Anyway, putting aside the non-serious stuff, are those creatures bad?

Xidi couldn't help but start thinking about this problem.

Then, he saw that the people over there opened the carriage compartment covered with black cloth.

"Hey! Idiot, there are outsiders here!"

The team leader who had just negotiated with Xidi turned his head and shouted loudly, as if something shameful had been exposed.

That thing is indeed "shameful".

They were brown-skinned humanoids with dull silver hair that stuck together. The smell of filth after being imprisoned for a long time wafted over, making Xi Di, who was not wearing a scarf, frown.

The people over there surrounded the carriage again.

"That is?"

Xi Di quietly held down the wand, her movements inconspicuous.

If that's what the hunter meant, he'd have something to say.

He met many slave traders during his travels, and those meetings were not very pleasant. In order not to relive such unpleasantness, Xi Di usually gave them quite warm hospitality.

However, there are also some people who are trying to sell themselves like sheep. For example, the culture of slave merchants became popular in a certain place some time ago. It is actually role-playing. A bunch of boys and girls go in to find their masters, and they think they are well disguised.

Had a great time.

The team leader was not able to notice Xidi's movements, or he was very reassured by the people in the association. He breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"That's dangerous stuff."

……

The camp is not a place to entertain guests. After realizing that Xi Di did not understand the dark elves, the team leader gave an in-depth explanation very seriously.

"Please use isolation magic or wear a mask, witch-sama, they are very dangerous."

The team leader emphasized again.

His attitude was too frank, and Xi Di didn't think he could see through everyone's disguise, but the serious and terrifying feeling lingering around the entire camp would be too dedicated to say it was a fake.

The most important thing is that Xi Di didn't smell blood.

"I understand. If it's convenient, can I ask you the reason?"

"This is part of our job. If you want to understand the nature of these things... please follow me."

He walked to a corner of the camp.

Xidi had the experience of following a caravan. This location was located downwind and guarded by the surrounding tents. It seemed like a place where important items were placed, but the distance was a bit far away. On the contrary, it seemed like... disgust?Or fear.

"In people's eyes, these dark elves may be handsome men and beautiful women, who naturally have the charm of getting close to people. But in our research, this is a very scary thing. That kind of charm is like the lights in the deep sea. Every bit of light It’s the maw of a predator down there.”

The leader held an oil lamp and opened the door curtain. As he spoke, the eerie smell in the darkness became a little stronger, and terrifying whispers came from inside.

He took Xi Di to the cage and hung the oil lamp aside.

It was still a cage, and there were several inside - Xidi realized at this time that he was infected by the leader's attitude. According to his habit, he would still call several dark elves.

They were both men and women, all thin to the bone. Although they had no external injuries, they were dying. However, their spirits were strangely active, and their golden eyes seemed to be flashing with flames in the dim light. This spirit was so distinct from their thin bodies. Disgusting comparison.

These dark elves made strange noises in their mouths, and after seeing Xi Di, they were like snakes eyeing the mouse. One by one, they stretched their necks and crawled to the cage using their hands and feet. Their expressions were without any pretense, charming and charming. sweet.

"Uh huh...uh huh huh..."

"Oh haha, it's a young girl... a boy? Everything is fine!"

"Want to come and do something fun with me? Soon? It will be fun, kid."
