This question is the one that Emily has heard the most over the years. She has lost count of how many times she has answered it. Every answer is a kind of torture for her, hiding something.
When the time comes, the person who suffers the most is often the one who conceals it. As time goes by, this suffering will gradually deepen.
Her explanation to the children was experience. Experience is something that almost every elf will experience, but only she understands. How can there be any reason to let such a young child go out to experience? How dangerous this world is, the elves don't know.
Doesn’t she know it yet?
But what can she say? Can she be honest? Tell them that her parents may be gone long ago, and they will have to live in such a cruel world in the future? Not having enough to eat, not wearing warm clothes, being homeless, hiding in hiding for the rest of their lives?
Emily couldn't do it, so she could only hide it day by day, silently waiting for the day when the lie would be exposed.
"Sister, why don't you speak?" Another elf asked, biting his finger.
Only then did Emily come back to her senses, and she reluctantly said: "We haven't finished our experience yet... Before we go home, those brothers and sisters just now invited us to play with them."
The group of elves were stunned, and glanced at Mo Xiao and the others secretly. When they saw each other, they all looked over, and then hurriedly turned back.
"But... I really want to go home. My parents said that I can go home after the baptism is completed..."
"I want to go back too! My mother knitted me a floral skirt, sister Emily. When I go back, I will ask my mother to knit one for you too. It looks really nice!"
"Grandpa said he picked sweet flowers and fruits for me to go back to eat, but he never went back. Will the sweet flowers and fruits be spoiled... I'm so hungry..."
...
One after another, the elves gathered around Emily and told them how much they missed their hometown. Their innocent eyes and pure words deeply hurt Emily's scarred heart all the time.
Kong’s heart.
"Experience is a very important practice. Don't complain about being tired. Your parents came here like this before. When you finish the experience and go home, you will be brave warriors."
Emily looked at the children in front of her, with a soft smile on her face, and struggled to stand up: "You are still young now. You will understand when you grow older. Okay, let's do today's archery practice. If you want to be lazy,
If so, you will be punished by standing still.”
Hearing this, the elves immediately dispersed, and Emily put away her smile little by little, silently walking towards Mo Xiao and the others.
"When will we go to Beast Tooth Village?"
Mo Xiao saw what she was worried about and said as friendly as possible: "We have discussed it and go tomorrow. It is too dangerous to walk on the mountain road now, and the temperature outside is too low. I believe you are not willing to take your child on the mountain road at night.
?"
Emily nodded silently, her nervous expression slightly relieved. Thinking of what this group of people had done before, she was not worried that the other party would be detrimental to her.
"Do you want to eat?" Emily asked softly, looking at the food at the back of the cellar.
Gui Li's expression instantly became weird. After all, the grains were from his own village. He glanced at Emily and uttered one word: "Eat! Treat these grains as my gift to you!" p>
Emily was startled, then a hint of joy appeared on her face. She didn't understand why Guili made this decision, but this undoubtedly solved her urgent need.
"Why do you people like you need so much food? You can't eat it all in one winter." Ye Xiaoying asked doubtfully.
Emily looked at the elves who were clumsily practicing archery and said: "In exchange for clothes... the children need thick clothes to survive the winter."
Mo Xiao was silent. Seeing the thin clothes of these elves, he thought that the elves were also highly resistant to temperature. It seems that this is not the case.
"You guys rest first, I'll go cook and be ready in a while." Emily waved her hand and walked away.
Patty suddenly asked: "Can we go up there for a walk?"
Emily hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, you can do whatever you want, but please don't damage the church's facilities, and don't break in if you find a locked door. The priests will be angry. I was just kindly taken in."
."
Mo Xiao and his party suddenly became ashamed and looked at Reyes secretly. The entrance to the cellar where they entered was the big hole punched by Reyes...
Reyes also looked a little unnatural. Previously, he was chasing the murderer, so he didn't have too many worries, but now the situation was different. Knowing that the door he smashed belonged to someone else, the stone giant suddenly felt embarrassed.
Reyes immediately walked up to check whether it could be repaired, so as not to be more embarrassed when the owner saw it. Others quickly followed, and maybe they could be of some help.
Before entering the passage leading to the upper level, everyone heard unfamiliar voices. When they reached the entrance, they found other people. There were about ten priests in priest robes, and they looked like normal people.
Prepare to drill down the big hole Reyes made.
These priests are not tall, but they have strong bodies. Through the bulging priest robes, you can vaguely see the outline of muscles. When they saw a stranger coming up from the cellar, and then saw the big hole, they all immediately became alert and raised their hands.
guy.
Mo Xiao and the others kept their eyes on these priests, and were shocked when they saw their weapons. The priests were supposed to be wielding weapons such as staffs, and were squishy mage characters with high attack power, but what kind of trouble were these priests doing?
?Lifting the hammer and battle ax that were several times larger than the head was not difficult at all. Mo Xiao even saw an elder brother holding a giant sword that could be used as a shield...<
/p>
"Wait! Don't attack! There is a misunderstanding!" Mo Xiao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "We are friends of Emily!"
"When we are blind?"
The giant sword priest blew his beard and then struck Mo Xiao with his sword horizontally. The latter was shocked. Was he using the giant sword as a hammer?
Before the giant sword fell on Mo Xiao, Reyes reached out to catch it. A bright red blood mist appeared around Patty, and a black light blade appeared in Ye Xiaoying's hand, ready to take action at any time.
"It's very strong." Reyes commented.
The priests were extremely surprised. Who is the most powerful person?
"Accident, accident, don't do anything." Mo Xiao called to the tense two parties, "The wall is our unintentional mistake. You can go down and check with Emily. It's only a few steps away."
Mo Xiao wiped the cold sweat from his head. This dwarf priest had such a hot temper that he would do anything he wanted without even giving him a chance to explain. If they weren't ordinary people, how many bones would be broken with this sword? p>
"Lyuk, go down and check with Emily." The giant sword priest looked solemn and ordered without looking back.
"Yes, Lord Bishop."
A giant hammer priest put away his weapon, looked at Mo Xiao and the others and went into the cellar. The other priests did not relax at all, and still stared at them warily, guarding against any unusual movements.
Emily soon followed Ryuk up. She glanced at the destroyed wall and sighed slightly. Fortunately, she confirmed everything was a misunderstanding.
"The church is a place where the goddess watches, how can you destroy it at will, Emily..." The bishop looked unhappy, and originally wanted Emily to compensate, but thinking of her situation, he sighed heavily, "
Hey! Ryuk, ask a few people to collect the bricks and stones. We have to find a way to repair it quickly, otherwise we will be in big trouble."
