The food Shesta prepared for everyone was a sandwich filled with ham, bacon, pickles and green vegetables. The portions were generous, and they were kept fresh using fairy magic. When they were taken out of the backpack, they were still a little warm.
, people can’t help but sigh that the magical fairy magic can really do anything.
Because Alice was there, the lunch process seemed noisy. The golden retriever maid ate what she had, and also coveted other people's. She shamelessly came over and said she wanted to try the difference in taste. Despite Xie Mi's repeated assurances
The sandwiches made by the eldest sister all tasted the same, but she still refused to give up and kept pestering her. In the end, she was unanimously disliked by everyone and rushed to the other side of the river. She was not allowed to come back until she finished the sandwich.
Feeling that she had been excluded and isolated, Alice was quite angry. She squatted by the river and sulked, taking a hard bite of the sandwich in her hand. With her other hand, she picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it to the river, pretending
I was drifting, but in fact I only disturbed a few innocent fish in the river.
The stone sank to the bottom of the river with a "plop" sound, and the sound it made was quite clear.
"Yeah!"
"Plop!"
"Yeah yeah!"
"Plop!"
Alice threw another stone, and then replied impatiently: "Don't make any noise, I'm eating... eh?"
Only then did she realize something was wrong. She quickly turned her head and saw a group of little luminous people standing on the big rocks nearby. They stretched out their hands to greet her in a friendly way and made "ya ya" sounds. They looked like they had round heads.
The brain's eyes are like two black beans, blinking constantly, just like those cute characters in the earth comics drawn in Q-version cute style, not to mention, very cute.
"Wow!" Alice's shouting attracted the attention of her companions across the river: "What is this!?"
Everyone quickly ran over to check the situation, fearing that another innocent creature would be harmed by Alice. So many people crowded in at the riverside, which frightened these little guys with different painting styles, and they quickly gathered around.
I mean to run away if I don't agree with you.
At this time, it was Xie Mi who recognized their identities.
"Hey, isn't this a little elf?" She was originally lying on Metien's head, but now she flew down with butterfly wings and landed in front of the group of little elves: "It's actually on the outskirts of the mountain.
It’s really strange to meet them.”
Metien's eyes sparkled with curiosity and interest: "Xiemi, do you know them?"
"I don't know, but I heard from the eldest sister and the second sister that elves are a kind of weak and friendly demon spirits. They are demon spirits born from those objects that are obviously small compared to the same kind. For example,
Among the same type of trees, if one tree is smaller than other trees of the same kind, to the extent that it is visible to the naked eye, then it is possible that elves will be born. Even in man-made items, dishes, plates
, teacups and the like, if smaller inferior products appear due to technical problems, elves will also be born from these inferior products, but it will be more difficult. Perhaps because of this reason, they are not exclusive.
Contact with humans.”
As he said that, Xie Mi cast his eyes on Alice, or to be precise, on the unfinished sandwich in Alice's hand: "The elves have a unique habit of exchanging things with other beings. I think, these
The elf probably appeared in front of Alice after smelling the aroma of the sandwich, wanting to exchange with her."
"No wonder they keep staring at me." Alice suddenly realized, and then took a bite of the sandwich in her hand as if nothing had happened. The elves immediately let out a cry of "yaaaaah", and it could be heard that their tone was very anxious.

"So cute!"
Metien's eyes sparkled: "Let's exchange with them, Ringer!"
It's said to be an exchange, but she should be thinking about "giving food", just like she gave food to those gray feral pigeons that are not afraid of people in the station square.
There were indeed a lot of sandwiches in the backpack. The kind and considerate landlady was probably afraid that they—mainly her sister—would be hungry on the road, so she prepared more food than everyone could eat, and a certain bartender took advantage of them.
It doesn't matter if I exchange a few sandwiches with these little elves for the private goods I secretly slipped in, but the problem is...
"What can they give in exchange?"
Ringer had heard a lot of strange country stories, saying that the elves in them would use gold nuggets and gems to exchange with humans for what they needed, but that was just fiction. There were no gold mines in the mountains of Saussen, let alone
If there is a gem mine, no matter how dangerous it is to open up the wilderness, capitalists and nobles will flock to it, and they will be even crazier than the adventurers ten centuries ago. Where can these little elves take their turn?
"You are so realistic." Alice chewed the ham and bacon in the sandwich, and then quietly picked out the vegetable leaves. She was clearly doing something that violated the moral limits, but she still blamed others with confidence: "They are so cute.
, so what if you give something away for free? You have to be more caring, Ringer!"
Ringer had long been immune to her moral kidnapping, so he still looked at the little dots on the stone quietly, wondering what kind of things they could offer in exchange.
The elves probably guessed what he meant, and gathered in a circle. After discussing for a while, they finally got a satisfactory result. They turned around and quickly spread out, forming a circle on the surface of the stone.
The mysterious patterns then began to jump around, following some unknown and mysterious rules, constantly exchanging positions, causing the patterns to change accordingly. The golden light spots scattered on their bodies moved with this rapid movement.
And by stretching, the trajectories outlined are complicated and detailed, like a rigorously constructed mathematical model, which is dazzling.
As the patterns continue to change, the golden light spots gradually leave their bodies, flying and spreading in the air like fireflies, creating a brilliant and dreamy atmosphere. Bathed in the glow, travelers feel
My body feels warm, as if soaked in warm spring water, which gradually relieves the physical and mental fatigue after the journey.
"What is this?" Alice curiously stretched out her hand and touched the golden light spots flying in the sky, but as if they were called by some will, they quickly integrated into the girl's palm and disappeared.
"This is the innate magic of the elves!"
Xie Mi was also bathed in brilliant golden light spots. The translucent butterfly wings behind her supported her petite body and flew up, like a butterfly dancing gracefully in the rain of light. She looked elegant and beautiful, and her tone was filled with obvious joy.
: "It's called 'Lucky Gift'. As the name suggests, it can make the object of the magic effect have better luck! The elves generally don't use this magic casually. It can be seen that they really want to eat the sandwich made by the elder sister.
It’s here!”
Because it was her eldest sister who made the sandwich, she proudly puffed up her chest and looked proud.
"A magic that improves luck?" Alice's eyes lit up: "Real or fake? It can make me..."
"Can't."
"I haven't said what it is yet!"
"No matter what you want to say, you can't." After just two days of getting along with each other, even the innocent and simple little Xie Mi recognized Alice's true nature, and categorically denied: "The luck that this magic can improve is limited.
, at most it can only prevent you from being attacked by wild beasts when you sleep at night, or not being injured when you fall."
"What, that's it?" Alice expressed disappointment.
"There is no way. Little elves are very weak demon spirits to begin with. Being able to do this is already their limit."
The little elves on the stone didn't pay attention to the conversation between Alice and Semi. After performing the magic, they looked at Ringer eagerly. A dozen pairs of black bean-like eyes stared at the human in front of them at the same time, hoping that he would agree to use the sandwich.
Come and exchange this lucky magic.
The young man was silent for a while, then took out two sandwiches from his backpack, placed them gently on the stone, and said, "A very fair deal."
