A few minutes later, two girls with pretty faces climbed up to the treehouse first. They looked at each other with complicated expressions and then knocked on the door.
"Is Grand Magister Christine at home?" The speaker's name is Sarah, who transforms into a mermaid and is the personal bodyguard of the Dark Elf Queen.
"If you are at home, please open the door. We sisters mean no harm." The person who answered the call was Helen, who transformed into a mermaid and was also the personal bodyguard of Queen Quiet.
Even though these two sisters only appear to be in their twenties, they are actually over three hundred years old. As close friends of Queen Donna, the two of them have sworn allegiance to the Whispering Forest, but they have killed countless pure-blood elves. Moreover, both women are swordsmen, and they are mermaid warriors who can work together to perform secret arts. Maybe they are not strong in the world, but in the Whispering Forest, they are more than enough to protect a little girl.<

"Sister Christine, it's me. I heard that you have returned to the Whispering Forest. Is this true?" A petite girl finally climbed up the ancient tree. Although she was panting, her face was filled with tears.
Full of expectations.
The little girl's name is Astrid, the adopted daughter of the Dark Elf Queen. She is frail and kind-hearted. She is the treasure of the Whispering Forest and the apple of all the Dark Elf's eyes, even though everyone knows that she will not live long.
Astrid's expectation became stronger as the wooden door slowly opened. When she saw that familiar smile, she threw herself into the other person's arms.
"Come in, Sarah, Helen, you are still so close, we haven't seen you for a long time."
"Astrid, have you been obedient during my absence? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Christine rarely showed any emotion, and then raised her hand to usher the three of them into the tree house. As a mixed elf, Christine was already controversial in the Whispering Forest. If it weren't for the identity of the Great Magister, Christine would
It is estimated that someone has already stuffed it into the belly of the poisonous insect.
But Astrid is one of the few friends she has. Although she is just a low-level professional, she has no contempt for Christine and instead relies on her like a biological sister.
Time passed by, and after Boom chatted with the three of them calmly for a while, he went into the room again to read. Rikka, on the other hand, seemed to have found a playmate, and pulled Astrid to say goodbye.
Stop.
From that day on, Astrid seemed to live in Christine's tree house. Before, she would come early every day and leave in the dead of night.
"Sister Rikka, let's go out for a walk today. Although the Whispering Forest is not as prosperous as those human principalities, there are still many fun and delicious things." Astrid said with a smile while teasing the female contract beast.
.
"Huh! Who are you calling sister? I am an adult now, but you are a little girl. I think you are not even ten years old." Rikka rolled her eyes and then retorted angrily. Because Astrid is a
Although the dark elf looks young, he is probably over sixty years old.
"Just let me keep an eye on you here. If Astrid wants to go out for a walk, don't follow her." Christine looked at the two figures running towards the center of the Whispering Forest, and then said for no reason.
.
Although Sarah and Helen were hesitant, they finally bowed and bowed and left. Because even if Christine betrayed the Whispering Forest, the blood of the dark elves is still circulating in her body.
Christine may break up with Queen Donna, but she will never murder Astrid. This is an unreasonable trust, a bond between dark elves.
However, Christine will not interrupt the play of the two little guys today. The reason why she follows her is mainly to prevent Rikka from causing any trouble, and even being chased by the Yamachi killers for this reason.
As for Astrid's safety, Christine doesn't have to worry at all. As the descendant of the Dark Elf Queen, she will definitely not be murdered in the Whispering Forest. Because once that happens, the murderer is probably "
"Twelve Monsters", they also have to face an enraged four-winged killer, even if the crime is insignificant.
"Sister Christine, my godmother is very dissatisfied with your betrayal. I believe you should have a way to escape, but you still have to be careful." Astrid took Christine's left hand and said softly.<
/p>
"Sister, you really know how to spoil the fun. Since you are here to have fun, you should say something happy."
"Besides, how can Sister Christine be protected by me and my brother? You can rest assured."
Rikka took Christine's right hand, and while eating snacks, she answered dissatisfiedly. In Rikka's view, the reason why Christine left home was entirely the fault of Queen Donna, or the entire dark elves.
prejudice.
As long as all spirits exist, they all have their reasons. This is an old nursery rhyme that Rikka heard from the bard, but it still makes sense.
Boom was originally an orphan from the King of Ogu. Although he became a space magician by chance, everything he did after that was achieved through his own hard work.
Although Rikka is an ancient ferocious beast, if she had not met Boom, she would probably still be dormant in that giant egg, or even be used for magic experiments.
Therefore, although Rikka has killed countless people, she will not ignore any existence. In her heart, no matter the strong or the dead, they are all meaningful existences, and they are all living beings worthy of facing up to.
"Sister Rikka, first of all, I am already sixty-five years old this year, but I am much older than a little girl like you."
"Secondly, Sister Christine is a great mage. Do the top experts know that? She is the most powerful!"
"As for Brother Boom, it seems that his strength is not that great. Did Astrid get it wrong? Isn't he a mid-level magician?"
Astrid said while clasping her fingers and shaking her head. In her opinion, although Rikka is powerful, she is still not as good as her familiar sister Christine. As for Boom, he can only be reduced to the servant class.<
/p>
You must know that in the Whispering Forest, no peak expert dares to lie and come in and out at will. God knows how many assassins are hidden behind those ancient trees, and God knows whether he will be killed in a foreign land.
Coupled with the frightening poisonous insects and poisonous weeds, the Whispering Forest has now become the "Death's Back Garden". Except for those few beings standing at the top of the pyramid, no one dares to speak nonsense here.
"I'm the older sister! If you don't obey me, I'll beat you! As my brother said, talking back is not the sign of a good baby. Do you understand?"
"Don't laugh! If you laugh again, Rikka will really get angry! Wow, sister Christine, Astrid bullies others, even the dark elves are unreasonable!"
Rikka was so angry at Astrid's calm look, but she didn't know how to refute, so she could only ask for help from Christine beside her.
Christine smiled bitterly and shook her head. It was only today that she had some admiration for Boom, because Rikka really liked to mess around.
The three of them walked towards the center of the Whispering Forest while talking and laughing. All the dark elves bowed and saluted along the way, appearing very respectful. Rikka walked in front of them indifferently, and Astrid followed behind.
Christine followed silently, without any expression on her face.
