The blond elf girl frowned and looked at the dwarf.
Flint: "What? In your opinion, we dwarves also like to lie?"
"No, my master said that dwarves are an honest and stubborn race to the point of being pedantic."
Everyone looked at Flint. Unexpectedly, the dwarf was quite happy with this evaluation and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's right, us dwarves are like this, as stubborn as rocks!"
Elizabeth: "Stubborn is not a good word, right?"
"If we think it's okay, then let's do it," Flint replied.
Wang: "Let's go back to Miss Elf. Why do you want to travel away from your hometown?"
The blond elf immediately replied: "To improve my archery skills."
The dwarf snorted: "What a coincidence, our team has a mage who wants to make friends, a warlock who wants to go on an outing, and now we have a ranger who is good at archery!"
Xiaobai: "Druids who want to taste delicious food."
"Oh, yes, there are also druids who want to taste the delicious food." The dwarf added Xiaobai, "It's so colorful that the world-ending crisis doesn't matter at all."
The lord's son Ralph and the elf girl asked together: "Crisis of world destruction?"
The king looked at the earl's son: "We told you, when we first came here."
Ralph looked embarrassed: "Did you tell me? Oh, when you put it like that, it seems like it really happened."
The elf girl silently distanced herself from the earl's son: "Is this a trick?"
It can be seen that she is really bad at recognizing human lies.
Wang: "I think he just really forgot. After all, for him, the crisis of annihilation is far less urgent than the crisis of cavemen."
The elf girl further distanced herself from the king: "You...are covering each other? Is this a cover?"
Wang: "No, of course not. It's just stating the facts."
Elizabeth: "Both of them probably mean no harm."
The elf girl looked at Elizabeth hesitantly.
Wang whispered beside him: "Forget it, you are also a human being, she probably won't believe it."
Elf girl: "I think this lady is more trustworthy."
Wang: "Why!"
Elf girl: "I don't know, I just feel...she is a kind person."
The king looked back and forth between the elf girl and Elizabeth, and suddenly snapped his fingers: "I understand! This silly elf girl was confused by the princess's appearance! It is said in the book that beautiful people are more likely to be favored when they meet for the first time!"
Dwarf: "Well, that makes sense."
The elf girl became even more wary: "So you are just planning to lie to me?"
Flint smoothed things over and said: "Okay, stop teasing Pointy Ears. I think Wang, you should tell the details about the current situation immediately. If you are so open and honest, you should be able to gain more trust. Then we can ask Pointy Ears why.
You have to come to this place where birds don’t poop.”
Wang nodded, and then took out the old underground mine map borrowed from Ralph: "After a day of intelligence collection, we now know the reason why the cavemen continue to attack the ground. This reason did not appear just now. How long has it been exactly?
If...according to the caveman's timing method, it would be 270,000 times before water drops fell from the stalagmite."
Elf girl: "I have never heard of such a timing method."
"Me too. So I wrote it into the paper "How Caveman Expressed Emotions Through Smell"."
The elf girl was shocked: "Do cavemen express emotions through smell?"
Flint: "Based on the conclusion I drew from watching the mage brother's entire experiment, this should be the case."
Xiaobai: "The happier they are, the more they stink! It smells so bad, bah bah!"
The elf girl opened her mouth slightly, not hiding her shock at all, but it seemed that even in a state of shock, the elf would pay attention to the elegance of her behavior. She didn't even open her mouth wide, and there were no teeth at all, which was really good-looking.
Wang continued the topic: "270,000 drops of water ago, cavemen discovered the temple of Lamashtu."
The elf immediately reported the name and power of this deity: "The mother of monsters, the protector of all deformed and weird things, and also the god worshiped by some tribes of evil creatures."
King: "In the Lamashtu Temple, in a place called the Fetal Movement Hall, the cavemen have mastered an artifact. I don't know why this artifact cannot be moved out of the Fetal Movement Hall. It may be that it is relatively large. Since then, the population of the cavemen has
It began to grow rapidly. According to the cavemen, they were all born from the Fetal Movement Hall."
Elf: "Could it be a metaphor?"
"The caveman's IQ shouldn't be able to use high-end techniques like metaphor. Just like the barbarians in our team." The mage said.
Gotrick nodded: "Yes."
The elf girl crossed her chest with her hands and held her chin.
When Elizabeth saw this, she immediately crossed her arms to hold up her proud secondary sexual characteristics.
Xiaobai looked back and forth between the two of them, as if watching a good show, and her ears twitched, as if a horse was chasing away flies near its head.
The elf did not notice the competitive behavior of the human girl, but said after a brief reflection: "There is no contradiction with what I know."
Wang: "What do you know? We have already told you the information. Following the principle of reciprocity, you should share it too."
The mage originally thought that the elf girl would be very vigilant and shout, "Are you trying to lie to me again?" However, the girl nodded.
"You are right," she said. "When I was crossing the Shield Road, I encountered a snowstorm and was trapped on the snowy mountain. The elf's cloth helped me protect me from the severe cold, but my horse couldn't bear it and froze to death.
.”
Elizabeth exclaimed: "Wait a minute! When did you cross the World Mountains? It couldn't have been the winter that just passed, right?"
Elf girl: "Yes, it was still the winter solstice when I went up the mountain, and by the time I came down the mountain, most of spring had passed."
Elizabeth looked up and down the elf's clothes: "You... are wearing such an exaggerated cloth robe that exposes your thighs. Can this be called a robe? It's so short! You start climbing over the world's mountains during the winter solstice?"
The king patted Elizabeth on the shoulder: "This is an elf cloth robe with magic on it. There is also her cloak. It is an elf cloak. As long as you cover it, you can hide it. It is not possible to see it when you get close.
not see."
Elizabeth was surprised: "Is that so?"
Wang: "Actually, she still lacks an elf sword that will glow when evil creatures come nearby. That is the three-piece elf adventure set."
The elf girl reminded seriously: "I am a ranger."
Wang: "Yes, you are a ranger. Now let's continue talking about your experience. Let's start with your horse being frozen to death."
Elf girl: "My horse was frozen to death, so after crossing the mountains of the world..."
Elizabeth: "Wait a minute, wait a minute! How did you cross the World Mountains? What was the process in between?"
The blond girl with pointed ears hesitated for a moment and said, "Just walk every day. I almost got caught in an avalanche, but I finally walked out of the mountains."
Xiaobai: "Aren't you going to eat?"
The elf girl took out a biscuit from a pile of pockets on her body: "I have this."
Wang: "A small piece of elf pancake can last for a day. It is usually wrapped in leaves and made into a bag. One bag is often enough for an ordinary human to eat for a month. This is the best dry food, second only to the one I used before.
The kind of beans that come out.”
Xiaobai: "Ugh! The cake is made by Dian! I hate Dian's!"
Elf girl: "No, although I don't know the production process, but this... uh, it should only be part of the starch, mainly mushrooms and vegetables."
Xiaobai: "I hate vegetables too!"
The elf girl shrugged helplessly: "Then there's nothing we can do. Where did you just say it?"
Wang: "You walked out of the mountains."
"Yes, I walked out of the mountains. Because the purpose of my trip was just to improve my archery skills, I kept wandering around and avoiding human cities. The only contact I had with humans was to buy a batch of skinny horses from an old farmer."
Wang raised his hand: "Excuse me, the horse you just rode is not thin."
Elf girl: "Because we rangers are familiar with the habits of wild animals, we always take them to eat rich grass."
"I understand." The mage put down his hand and said, "You continue."
Elf girl: "Then I arrived nearby and found a burning village."
Ralph became alert: "The burning village? Where is it? Can you point it out on the map?"
As he spoke, he took out the map from the nearby bookshelf and spread it out on the table where the king had just recorded the experimental results.
The elf girl stepped forward and immediately pointed to a point on the map.
Wang praised: "As expected of a ranger, his ability to identify maps is very high."
Rangers generally serve as guides for the team. Of course, sometimes rogues can also serve as guides, but after all they are not as skilled as rangers.
Ralph identified the location pointed out by the elf and immediately ordered: "Yanji Village has been attacked. Send the cavalry to have a look."
After the messenger took the order and left, Ralph muttered: "The mountain blocks the smoke, so we can't see it."
The king looked at the elf: "What happened in this village? You just said that you had the only intersection with a human."
The elf nodded: "Yes. I saw a child crying loudly next to his dead parents. Seeing me approaching, he suddenly rushed over and said, 'You have pointed ears, you must be the legendary goblin, please help.
Let me punish the monsters that come up from the ground!'"
The mage carefully observed the elf's body shape, especially looking at the pair of powerful long legs several times: "Your body shape is a bit different from that of the elf."
Elf girl: "Indeed. I think that child has never seen a real goblin or seen it in a picture, so he mistook me for a goblin. I think this should improve my archery skills, but going underground alone
It might be a bit dangerous, so I finally chose to report the news to the local lord. I heard that human lords will take revenge for their people."
Ralph smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I want revenge. But now it's difficult for us to just block the incoming enemies. But the mage next to him and his team really intend to solve the caveman problem.
.Because they suspect it is related to the crisis of annihilation."
The elf girl asked doubtfully: "So what exactly is the crisis of annihilation?"
The members of the princess team looked at each other, and finally looked at the mage together.
Wang cleared his throat and began to tell the story from the beginning, which began with the investigation of the disappearance of stray cats and dogs. Of course, he concealed some aspects of the political struggle, after all, it really had nothing to do with the annihilation crisis.
After hearing this, the elf girl exclaimed: "Isn't this... the opportunity I dream of to practice archery?"
Flint suddenly said: "You are a ranger, but you still need to practice your archery skills? Is your archery skills very bad now?"
The elf girl didn't say anything. She put the bow and arrow in her hand with a very smooth and quick movement. She set up the bow and shot the arrow in one go. An arrow was inserted into the wooden door frame of the room with a bang.
The dwarf looked hesitantly at the arrow whose tail was still trembling: "What did you shoot?"
The king moved closer to the arrow.
"A fly, she shot a fly." So saying, the mage pulled out the arrow and showed what was stuck on the tip to everyone.
Dwarf: "How can you improve your archery skills?"
The elf girl replied solemnly: "I can only achieve this kind of accuracy at close range, so I have developed the habit of shooting at close range. I hope to be like the teacher, who can shoot from a distance of one thousand meters or even further."
Orc Wolf Riders."
Dwarf: "Why orcs?"
Xiaobai: "Why wolf?"
Elf girl: "Because my teacher has shot this. Oh, and shooting underground creatures in the open space underground in the Underdark, and then climbing on the Mengsk war elephant and shooting through the brain of the war elephant from the back of the head."
"
Wang: "Your teacher also traveled?"
Elf girl: "Of course, elves have to travel around the world before they reach adulthood. We will visit halfling settlements and associations of druids living in the forest, and try to avoid large settlements of human dwarves or orcs as much as possible
.”
After a brief pause, she added: "But sometimes, we will also team up with humans."
Wang: "I heard that it takes a long time for elves to make friends with people. Elves and dwarves can become friends, but with humans, it's usually like 'your grandfather was my friend'."
"That is to say, by the time the elves realize that trust is friendship, humans are almost dying of old age, or have already died of old age, so the elves can only take care of their children and grandchildren to honor this friendship."
The elf girl thought for a while and nodded: "I have indeed heard of such a thing."
Wang: "I also know that in a certain plane, there was a powerful elf mage who spent ten years with her teammates to save the world. Then she continued to travel around the world until the human warrior who was the captain died of old age.
After that, she suddenly reacted.
"Then the powerful mage retraced the journey and found that the far-sighted human warriors had left traces of their past everywhere. The journey was filled with seas of flowers sown by those warriors."
Elizabeth wiped her tears and said, "Isn't this too romantic?"
Wang: "?Isn't it sad?"
Elizabeth: "Romantic! And of course sad."
The mage scratched his head.
"Anyway," he said, "that's the situation. Since...what do you call it?"
He looked at the elf girl.
The elf tilted his head: "My nickname is Nini."
Wang: "Baby name? It's a human nickname, right? Isn't it appropriate to call you this?"
The dwarf explained next to him: "When an elf is 105 years old, he will announce his official name. This name must be completely original and different from others. Some elves will use the most proud works of art they have made.
The name is one's own, and some people will deform it into the name of the person they admire.
"Other people, in order to choose a meaningful name for themselves, will start traveling."
The elf girl looked at the dwarf: "You know elves very well."
Flint smoked his pipe: "It's all a thing of the past. Even for dwarves, it's too long ago."
The elf girl Nini glanced at Wang and said: "As Mr. Dwarf said, naming myself is also the purpose of my journey. I am 100 years old this year, and in five years I will declare myself an adult and name myself.
"
Xiaobai: "I think it's nice to be called Nini. It feels like I have an extra sister."
The dwarf teased: "Her legs are as tall as two of yours."
"Wait a minute!" Elf Nini said, "I haven't said that I want to join you! Sure enough, you are a group of liars, trying to trick me into joining!"
Wang: "From your reaction in this paragraph, I judge that you are indeed easily deceived."
Dwarf: "Indeed, after all, a 100-year-old elf is too young and is still a child."
The king lightly poked Elizabeth's waist.
The princess immediately understood and smiled at the elf Nini: "Why don't you join us to fight the cavemen for the time being? Aren't you worried that it is dangerous to go underground alone without anyone to protect you? Maybe you can build trust after the fight is over.
?”
Nini frowned: "I didn't say I had to fight the cavemen. I just came to report to the lord."
Princess: "That poor child asked the goblin to avenge him. Are you going to betray that child's expectations?"
