In a dark room by the canal in the college district, the unconscious Breeze had her hands tied to a pillar behind her back. Dead Leaf, Costa and Patricia were waiting for her to wake up.

Dead Leaf looked at the female elf in front of him, thinking about what sentence he should start with when she wakes up.

Twenty-seven years have passed since they last met. During these years, some things that Gu Ye has experienced have changed her forever. And when they reunited just now, Breeze seemed to be aware of these changes.

Yes, humans often say that elves never change.

But they were wrong.

Memories of Ishad Aixin's past came to mind. Dead Leaf and Breeze were attracted to each other when they first met. They naturally became friends and soon became close friends. By chance

Next - adrenaline and alcohol played a big role - they spent a noisy night. Afterwards, Dead Leaf understood why she could not maintain a long-term relationship with a male elf...

Okay, now is not the time to think about this, Dead Leaf told herself, don’t forget that Breeze rejected you once, and she will still do it now.

"Do we need to avoid it?" Costa suddenly said, "You may want to be alone."

Dead Leaf retracted her thoughts, "No, Costa, you stay. I need to remind Breeze how humiliating her failure just now was."

"Oh, are you really friends?" Patricia raised her eyebrows, "If my friend did this to me, I would definitely make her eyes look like this." She pointed to her eye patch.

.

"Costa should stay, but you'd better get out." Dead Leaf turned to the female pirate whose face was full of anticipation, "Although the elves have temporarily stopped shooting, the crossbow team must still remain alert and be ready to continue fighting at any time.

"

"Don't worry, aunt, my men are all reliable. They have been with me for many years, and they can handle this kind of situation completely."

"I remind you one last time, don't call me that." Dead Leaf frowned, "Otherwise I will be rude to you."

"Wow, don't be so excited."

"Costa," Dead Leaf said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

The retired soldier shrugged and then walked towards the female pirate. Patricia looked at him warily, then looked at the dead leaves. "I'm not afraid of him," she said.

"Then you are much braver than me." Gu Ye suppressed a smile.

The brave Patricia held on for a few more seconds, then exited the room dejectedly.

"You should know that I'm not good at dealing with women, right?" Costa said after locking the door.

"Of course I know, but she doesn't know." Dead Leaf said with a smile, "In her eyes, you look like a very dangerous thug - hush, Breeze is about to wake up."

The female elf's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her lips returned to color. Dead Leaf has been paying attention to her heartbeat, breathing and pulse, and now they are about to return to stability. These are signs of waking up from a coma.

Pretending to be unconscious in front of a sound engineer is almost impossible, unless that person is a sound engineer themselves. Even then, it's difficult to fake one's physiological reactions.

Breeze obviously knew this, so her efforts were not in vain. The female elf opened her eyes and saw the dead leaves in front of her.

"In the past, Dead Leaf," she raised her head and said hoarsely, "would definitely seize the opportunity to kill her enemies."

"Stop talking nonsense, I wouldn't have done this in the past." Dead Leaf said expressionlessly, "If you want to be clever, I advise you to save it. I have built a soundproof barrier around us, and the walls of this room are

It's thickened. Even if the two tuners work together, there's nothing they can do about it."

"Then what else can I say?" Breeze opened her mouth and showed a shallow smile, "Well done, Armindale. You caught me."

"It's not me who caught you, but that man." Dead Leaf pointed at Costa, who was standing in the shadows. The retired soldier naturally put on a ruthless expression - his usual expression.

This scene wiped away most of the smile on Breeze's face. It seemed that she still couldn't accept her defeat at the hands of humans.

"Why don't you just kill me?" Breeze tried to hide her annoyance, but her tone betrayed her.

"If we do that, your commandos will have nothing to worry about. They will attack immediately and fight to the death, just to avenge you." Dead Leaf pointed out calmly, "If things turn out to be like that, both sides will

A heavy price to pay. I don’t want to see any more elves lose their lives.”

"In that case, why do you want to side with humans?"

"I don't expect you to understand," said Dead Leaf, "at least not in such a short period of time. But one thing is very clear, that man took advantage of you."

"That man? You mean the special envoy?"

"No, I mean the person who cooperated with the special envoy. Don't act stupid, Breeze. Why did your commando sneak into Fire Seal City? And you specifically chose to attack the academy area tonight?"

Breeze smiled. "You think you know the truth, but in fact, you know nothing at all. I feel really sad for you."

"Answer my question, Breeze." Dead Leaf narrowed his eyes, "For Oriani's sake, I don't want to hurt you."

"How ironic, this is what I should have said to you... Use whatever means you have, Emindale, let me see what you have learned from humans. Your new lover must have taught you

How many hands?"

"If you are referring to Costa, unfortunately, you guessed wrong." Dead Leaf said coldly, "And if I remember correctly, it was you who proposed to break up twenty-seven years ago, so now

You have no right to accuse me."

"I have no choice." The remaining smile on Breeze's face completely disappeared, "It is completely impossible for us to be together, I am a nobleman——"

"And I'm just a civilian?"

"I have family responsibilities!"

"About this point, you made it very clear twenty-seven years ago." Dead Leaf waved his hand calmly, "Let's stop this topic here, Breeze, I'm not here to settle old scores with you. This is just a game.

Peace talks.”

"Peace negotiations should not involve one party having his hands tied to a pillar behind his back," Breeze said sarcastically, "and sitting on the dirty floor in such an unsightly posture."

"Before we come to a conclusion, please be patient for a little while."

"It seems I don't have many choices." Breeze raised her gaze, "What do you want?"

"I hope your commando team will withdraw from this battle immediately." Dead Leaf said, "No matter what the order you received, it must be terminated early. In exchange, we will let you leave safely, but your scimitar will be

Stay here with me for now."

This seemed to anger her, "This is simply wishful thinking, we will not accept such conditions! If you want to protect your human friends, just kill me!"

Dead Leaf sighed, "This is why I never like to attend your radical gatherings. Once the topic involves humans, you will become unreasonable."

"You can like humans, but you can't make me like them too." Breeze looked at Costa with hostile eyes, "This dirty race shouldn't exist at all. Just seeing them makes me sick.

.”

In reply, Costa smiled.

"You are right," said Dead Leaf, "I did this to protect my human friend, because she deserves this. She doesn't care about my identity or my past. This tolerance is something you will never

It's impossible to give it to me. So, yes, in my mind, this human being whom you despise is more important than you. In order to protect her, I will do anything."

Breeze looked at her without saying a word. After the initial shock, the female elf laughed.

"Stop deceiving yourself, Emindale! Do you think you can still get true love? You should know very well that elves like us have our hands full of sin... It is impossible for us to return to normal, those things will

I will pester you forever. One day, she will discover your true face, and if she still has any sense, she will leave you."

"You're right, Breeze, there's just a small mistake - I don't expect to get her love at all." Dead Leaf said calmly, "As long as I can protect her by my side, that's enough for me.

.There used to be many people who cared about Emindale, but the tuner is dead... Now I am just a withered leaf."

"I believe you," Breeze said, "Oh, Goddess, I believe you are sincere... That's why all this seems so ridiculous! Because while you were wasting time on me, another commando has infiltrated
