Candy Wizard and Travel

"Na na na, can we do it with others? How about becoming their compatriots?"

Their performance and enthusiasm are enough to put all service industry workers to shame. Every pair of golden eyes seems to be burning with flames - the last fire that is about to be extinguished in the stove.

The leader took Xi Di back two steps and stared at the person blowing the kiss warily.

"Please be careful with their bodily fluids."

Xidi also understood at this time.

"Are these dark elves suffering from any infectious disease?"

"Infectious disease? No, there is no such thing," the team leader shook his head, his voice under the mask carrying an unspeakable coldness, "Their existence itself is the most vicious curse and the most terrifying disease."

The flame of the oil lamp swayed slightly, making Xi Di feel a little uncomfortable. He took a closer look at the dark elves and found that they were surprisingly similar. If it weren't for the ups and downs of their bodies, it would be difficult to tell the difference between male and female.

These are living dark elves, different from the dolls that Teacher Mar put on the counter. Even if there are only a few of them, the trance caused by repetition and the abnormal enthusiasm will make people feel unspeakable fear in their hearts. , just like walking in the deep mountains and old forests, and suddenly seeing a beautiful woman enthusiastically soliciting customers.

The leader explained.

Dark Elf is a disease, a terminal disease that cannot be cured after infection.

There are two ways to contract the disease. One is through mucosal contact with dark elves.

These "enthusiastic" guys walk around, not rejecting or even actively "selling" their bodies. No matter fat, thin, beautiful or ugly, men, women, old or young, they can share a night of fun with them, and then find that the person next to them has disappeared after dawn. not see.

Their little melancholy would not last long, because one day later, they would meet again - as compatriots.

The team leader would like to call the substance that transmits this disease the "Dark Elf Virus" and believes that it is some kind of germ that cannot be solved by science and magic at this stage and can only be isolated and eliminated.

After being infected with the virus, it can take as long as one night - the dark elves who share the same bed can celebrate the new life of their compatriots before they have recovered their strength and leave; or it can only last two or three days longer, under the premise that humans are completely unaware of their own changes. , transformed into a dark elf, the past memory is gone, and only part of the memory of the transmitter will be retained.

Yes, within their group, they share memories.

At first, they claimed to be a subspecies of elves, and they could not stand the hostility of the elves and left their hometown. Now they all claim that they were persecuted by dark elf hunters and their hometown was destroyed and they had to wander, in order to deceive people's sympathy.

These guys who used to be as stupid as rabbits are now as cunning as humans.

Then, because wherever the dark elves go, people must disappear, and the things they communicate with cannot be concealed. People naturally think that these guys bewitch and seduce the people around them, and the dark elves are notorious and hostile. .

This is a good thing, and it is true.

This is terrible, just one spring night, and then die. No, it is more terrible than that. The whole person becomes another creature. All the past existence is like the soil in the flower pot, just for the sprout of new life.

"They are parasites! They are monsters and cannibals!"

The leader said bitterly with strong personal emotions.

Xidi wasn't sure whether this was the team leader's personal opinion or whether it contained some personal conjecture. However, seeing his determined attitude, he thought about it and did not directly question it. Instead, he chose to continue the conversation to look for possible loopholes.

"That is indeed dangerous, but what about the other way?"

"Please listen to me……"

After becoming a dark elf, no matter whether the human being before the transformation is healthy or not, whether he is an old man or a child, his lifespan will be reduced to less than one year. At the cost of this, no matter whether he was a vegetative state or his body was mutilated before, he can be repaired, including the transformation. Any non-fatal injuries suffered later will be quickly repaired at the cost of lifespan.

The name "elves" is false, longevity is false, and beauty is mass-produced. It is undeniable that this race that can easily find "food" and reproduce is undoubtedly very successful as a biological creature.

"...Then, after their short bug-like life ends, they will turn into a disgusting black liquid. This liquid is horribly contagious and is not restricted by mucous membranes. It can only be touched by the skin, breathed, and even If you touch the evaporated part even slightly, there is a high probability of infection and turning into that thing."

"I'm sorry to interrupt you, but before dying, do dark elves become extremely thin, then curl up like a plant, huddle up in a ball, and slowly melt into a black liquid? Is that kind of liquid harmful to other people who are dying? Dark elves also have a catalytic effect?"

"How do you..."

The leader was not stupid. He turned around suddenly and saw the dark elves melting like candles. Now they had no blood or bones. They were like water bags exploding, and thick black liquid gurgled out.

Once you see that scene, you will never forget it.

His face instantly turned pale.

"Save me! Your Majesty the Witch!"

When Xidi spoke, she had already opened the barrier that isolated all matter.

"No!" He shouted with his last sanity in fear: "Use fire! Burn it all, otherwise the whole camp will be destroyed!"

"So why would you put such a dangerous thing here?"

"They obviously still have more than half a month to live!"

Xi Di's instinct was warning him, and he trusted his instinct and lit the flame to isolate without hesitation.

In the flames of magic, the two walked out.

The moment she went out, Xidi vaguely heard a name.

The leader paused for a moment.

……

"Sunlight can inhibit the spread of that kind of thing, and our job is to make people aware of the dangers of dark elves. When they are about to die, we will try to hang them in crowded places to explain that those black waters are also Easy to handle... This situation has never happened before. Although it is a bit presumptuous, can you please explain in detail the things you have come into contact with? If they start to evolve..."

It is no exaggeration to say that if the appearance of the dark elf before death was not so terrifying that no one would dare to approach it, the liquid would also quickly become deactivated in the sun, and the world might be destroyed by this creature.

Xidi cooperated with them in research for a period of time, and finally came to the conclusion that the magic power around him was too high - because his body was not mature yet, he could not absorb magic power too fast and suppressed the speed, but this was still the flow rate of magic power in nature. The amount is more than three times, especially in the forest.

These hunters thanked Xidi for her contribution to their research and were ready to start working on magic. For some reason, the proportion of magicians among these people was not low.

In order to prevent them from getting into trouble, Xidi recommended a witch from the association who is extremely good at retrospective magic. With the support of the association, her magic can cover the town for a maximum period of 24 hours. That is to say, unless one has a special physique. It turns into a dark elf on contact, otherwise she can save him at the slightest sign.

The dark elf hunter once again expressed his sincere gratitude and promised to dedicate his life to the association after destroying these monsters.

"That... is too exaggerated. What's life? Just live your life."

"It's a pity," said the aristocratic hunter, "our past has been destroyed by those disgusting things."

The words were very plain, just a simple narrative, because at this time it was already too late to frame it with any intense emotions, and they had already embarked on this path.

At that moment, Xidi knew how these hunters with different accents, different habits, and even different races came together, because there was a common bond connecting them.

The name of the bond is hatred.

"There is one more thing I need to tell you," he continued. "If you meet a healthy dark elf who has not entered the final stage in the future, please stay away. Their memories coexist. In other words, if a dark elf sees You, then the new dark elves created by him/her will also remember you. We have observed that this kind of creature is particularly fond of magicians, and you will most likely be harassed."

At this time, the leader's voice came from afar.

"Hey, kid!"

The hunter bowed finally, "I sincerely wish you good luck, and goodbye."

Then he shouted back, calling out the name, the name he had vaguely heard in the flames.

……

"The association has been paying attention to the dark elves. It has published documents in various places several times, but the effect is not very good. You also know that those guys are very smart and will run to places beyond the control of the association. After they die, they will pass their memories back. …”

Sheila brought the association's records and shook her head. All the information from the dark elf hunters was also handed over to the association, helping them once again examine the danger of this creature.

Monster, this kind of thing is definitely a monster, an unknown monster.

If a thing eats people, is interested in magic, and has strong assimilation and bewitching qualities, then it must be a monster.

This is the attitude of the association.

Because there has been a shortage of personnel, these things that require considerable energy and manpower to deal with have always troubled the association. They can only ensure that there are no such things in the prosperous places in the interior. Sheila still remembers that when she met this child, there was a cannibal nearby. The village is called [Beauty Village]. The women who were twisted by magic have characteristics close to those of dark elves. They spent a lot of effort to clean them up.

Just like cockroaches, if you see one, there is a swarm behind them.

"You clean up the monsters very quickly. Don't work too hard. You can't kill all the monsters."

"I just saw it...and it doesn't take much effort. It's just troublesome to find."

Every monster is a lurking bomb. If you think about how many kinds of bad magic there are, you will know how many variations these naturally twisted guys have.

If there are more strange monsters like Dark Elves, the world will be over.

Xidi is still quite confused, but no one can give him the answer, so he can only find it by himself.

The social structure of the dark elves...if there is such a thing, it will probably be a net. Each thread is an infected person. Several threads are connected to a node, and the nodes are connected by thicker threads. In this net, Sitting in the center is probably that monster.

It sucks human souls, magic power, lifespans, and even flesh and blood, without wasting any of it. In the end, only a puddle of infectious liquid is left.

Making the best use of materials and people, what an "elegant" way to eat!

It sounds familiar.

Dark Elf...

Just like the epidemic centuries ago, the spreaders were just rats huddled in the dark shadows.

Hidi sighed.

This world is exciting and dangerous, and the clues are unclear. Even he can't do anything about it. All he can do is protect the people around him.

……

After a long time, Xidi saw the hunter who said goodbye to him again.

He had a broken hand, his elegance was gone, and his aura was a bit gloomier.

He was attacked by people bewitched by the dark elves. Those people were just confused by the beauty, not even infected. A few pitiful smiles made them voluntarily protect the flowers.

Fortunately, later, when those people were claiming credit complacently, they hunters gathered together and forcibly captured the dark elf.

The hunter didn't even care about being hurt by his own kind. He was dismayed that those beasts had evolved to this point.

Xidi mentioned the leader.

He cried out.

Xidi didn't ask any more questions.

"We will not give up," he said, "human beings, no, we, we have paid so much, and I will continue to use this half of my life on this path. No matter what, I must save those beasts Send them all to hell!”

During that time, he did not rest well and often dreamed of the leader. He did not drink alcohol or use any drugs to numb his nerves. He always maintained a sharp brain to catch the mice in the darkness and hang them one by one in the sun. Burn to ashes.

Later, Xidi still learned about the team leader.

Give him a fright.

He was a prince who had the hope of inheriting a country that was not inferior to that of Celestilia.

He has a gentle mother and a strict father. The domestic politics are clear and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Although there are occasional small conflicts in private, they are not serious. The prince can understand at a young age that no one is perfect in the world and everyone has bad things. One side, but that doesn't negate everything about a person.

After a long time, he discovered that his mother, the queen of the country, had an affair with his uncle. After his uncle slept with the dark elf, he contacted the queen that afternoon. In order to prevent an unexpected pregnancy, the queen was unable to match the time and climbed into the king's bed again. Unhappily, the palace maid was imprisoned. The next day, the palace maid was pinned down in the garden by her jealous old lover's guard...

This is a funny story, and even ignoring the past conduct of these people, it is a joke.

Only the person involved couldn't laugh.

The prince sobered up from a banquet in the palace. It was already late at night. The lights in the palace were extinguished, but no one went to light them because the people in this building did not have such skills.

After the prince called his father and queen, the guards and maids immediately responded enthusiastically in the darkness.

The moon breaks through the clouds, and brilliance pours out.

In the coldness of death, the prince discovered that the people around him all looked the same. They were handsome and charming, and they smiled and exchanged greetings.

That became his nightmare for the rest of his life.

There is no surprise, a country is destroyed and a prince becomes a hunter.

Then a hunter died.

Just for a moment of pleasure, you have to pay such a price. The world should not have such cruel things.

The leader spent the rest of his life escaping the nightmare of that night, and now he finally did it.

……

Somewhere in the hazy world.

There were gray-white light groups floating around, slightly shining, each with a slight color difference.

"You still have such bad taste, like a mouse."

"In this era, it's good to be alive, dream."

The female figure with brown skin, white hair and golden eyes raised her head and stared at her kin who had been operating under the terrifying banner of "devil" a long time ago.

It was a hazy mass of light and shadow.

The opponent is always surrounded by colorful lights and shadows. There is only one of them, but he still shows off all day long... It makes the devil covet him, but she can't kill him.

"Are you still eating pig food recently?"

The woman did not answer, yawned, fiddled with the air, and directed her lovely family member and food to go to another place.

What a pity, her power must wait for the fruit to mature and all the nutrients to be concentrated before it can be picked from the branches.
