Qingmu's voice fell, and the ajar door was opened. Cai'er floated in first and called out "Dad" crisply. Then, a short, skinny old man with a green bamboo cane, who looked like he was about to die, stood in the room.
Xue walked in slowly with careful support.
This is an old man whose apparent age is similar to that of a human being around ninety years old. Even though the aura of the Elf Secret Realm is extremely abundant, it can no longer hide the traces left by the years on her face. Her old face is like the bark of a thousand-year-old tree.
Normal, but when walking, his steps are extraordinarily steady, and the slightly opened eye slits release a sharp light that makes it almost impossible to look directly... When Ling Chen looked at the old man, his eyes jumped involuntarily.
A few times.
Such sharp eyes, just like the eyes of a vulture... Such an old man has such terrifying eyes. She must be the mother of the Aoki clan leader. The Aoki clan leader looks to be in middle age, but this old man is already
It's the year of Can Zhu. It seems that the weak reproductive ability of the elves makes the age of childbirth extremely late.
"Mother!" Chief Aoki quickly came forward and supported the old man. Behind the old man, ten older elves also walked in neatly, seven men and three women. The youngest was about the same age as Aoki, and the older one was already over.
At this age, the aura on each person's body was extremely strong, which made Ling Chen's heart tremble. These ten people should be the top ten elders mentioned by Yingxue, and as the elders of the elves, the strength of these people must be
All quite scary.
What exactly is the ritual that Chief Aoki mentioned?
"Elders, please take a seat." He helped the old man sit down in the middle, glanced at the ten elders, and then sat on the seat next to the old man.
The ten elders sat in two neat rows on both sides. Only Ling Chen and Yingxue were still standing there...and a little Cai'er floating there blinking and waiting to watch the excitement. The room suddenly became quiet.
After standing down, all eyes were focused on Ling Chen, making Ling Chen feel uncomfortable all over. Especially the old man's gaze was so sharp that he felt like his whole body was being pierced by the gaze.
"Mother, this is a human from the outside world, and got Yingxue's first wings by chance." Qingmu pointed his gaze at Ling Chen and said to the old man.
The old man had been looking at Ling Chen. After listening to Qingmu's words, she nodded slightly and seemed to have a smile on her face: "Very good. Human beings are just like the legend. Except for the lack of wings, they are not much different from us. And
His eyes are like cold stars, his aura is extraordinary, and there is no evil spirit in his body, so he will not wrong Yingxue, so I feel relieved. You young man from the human world, what is your name?"
Ling Chen said politely: "Ling Tian, I don't know what I call you, senior."
"Haha," the old man smiled gently: "You can call me Granny Kumu, but it won't take long before you can just call me grandma or grandma like Yingxue."
Qingmu and the ten elders suddenly laughed ambiguously. The elder sitting on the far right said with a smile: "Yingxue is the pearl given to me by God. We have already said that her marriage will be determined by God."
Let’s decide. Now this foreign man who fell from the sky got Yingxue’s wings by chance. Isn’t this a marriage sent by God? It’s wonderful, hahahaha.”
The other elders also laughed, and Qingmu also laughed a few times. Ling Chen, the person involved, felt his scalp numb and stopped talking several times. Yingxue, however, had no reaction and stood quietly beside Ling Chen.
Just like an ice sculpture of beauty.
"Not only that. This little brother is the first foreigner to come to our world in so many years. Maybe he is a variable given to our elves by God, a variable that may change the current situation of our tribe. Do you think so?
No?" Another elder said with a smile.
The other elders also nodded in agreement. If such words were spoken by humans, even a fool could tell that they were just flattering words, but Ling Chen's expressions when he saw them were so sincere, and in the name of elves
How could he have the bad habits of human beings with his temperament?
The psychological world of these elves cannot be measured by humans.
"Okay, no more gossip. My child, Qingmu should have told you about our clan. Once you come here, you are destined to be unable to leave. This may indeed be God's arrangement. From now on, you will feel at ease.
You want to stay here and treat this place as your new home. In addition, Yingxue is not young anymore. I, an old woman, have been waiting for the day when she gets married, so I hope you can get married within ten days. What do you think?
How about it?" Granny Kumu looked at Ling Chen and said gently.
Ling Chen couldn't help but want to step back. Obviously, the status of this Kumu Granny was higher than that of the clan leader, and in this small room, the clan leader and the ten elders were all present. It can be said that for him, the elves have the highest say.
All the people gathered in this small wooden house, which put him under great pressure. After all, the others here were elves, and he was the only foreigner.
However, there are some things he must say.
Under the pressure of these twelve elves, Ling Chen took a deep breath and said calmly: "Grandma Kumu, Chief Qingmu, and the ten elders here, I cannot accept the marriage between me and Yingxue you mentioned.
.”
As soon as Ling Chen said these words, the small room suddenly became quiet, and the originally peaceful atmosphere suddenly became condensed.
The smiles on the faces of Qingmu and the ten elders were condensed there. Yingxue's expression remained unchanged, but her lips moved slightly. Cai'er, who was originally excited, suddenly became extremely nervous. She covered her lips with one hand and
A small hand waved desperately to gesture to Ling Chen.
The change in the atmosphere was completely within Ling Chen's expectation. He continued without pausing: "In our human world, marriage is never decided directly based on just one thing. Instead, it takes a long time to accumulate feelings.
, when the relationship is deep enough, the union can be natural. Today, Yingxue and I just met for the first time, there is no relationship at all. Because we are a pair of wings, Yingxue and I must get married. I know this is the rule of the elves.
But after all, I am a human being and cannot accept it. Moreover, as a human being, my lifespan is only a hundred years at most. If I marry Yingxue, then in just a few decades, I will grow old and turn into loess, while Yingxue will still be alive.
We are in our most beautiful years, so wouldn’t this be a disaster for Yingxue’s life? Chief Qingmu, Granny Kumu, you certainly don’t want your descendants to have to stay alone in their youth.”
After Ling Chen finished speaking, he looked directly into Granny Kumu's eyes without any hesitation. Obviously, Granny Kumu had the highest say in this cabin.
Chief Qingmu sighed and said: "Mother, don't be angry. After all, he is from a foreign race and does not understand the rules and beliefs of our elves. It is completely understandable that he would say such a thing."
Granny Kumu nodded slightly, her voice still gentle: "My child, although I have never been to the outside world, I can be sure that it is impossible to find a girl as beautiful as Yingxue in the outside world. The ancestors said that adultery is a human evil
It is part of human nature that countless human beings are willing to give up everything for a beauty, even including their own beliefs, and the fact that you can say these words at least proves that you are not a perverted person. The fact that you argue based on reason shows that you are absolutely
You are not timid, but have the courage to take responsibility. Haha, Yingxue is with someone like you, which makes me, an old woman, feel more at ease. However, my child, you are wrong on a few points. In my Elf clan, men and women are
In union, feelings also come first. Only when a woman has feelings for a man will she give her first wings. If a man has feelings for a woman, will he accept his wings and then have a happy union. And Yingxue's first wings were not given by her, but by her.
I got it accidentally from you. In our clan, this is called a match made in heaven, and it is also the most praised and envied combination. Because we all believe that this is the most beautiful marriage given by nature."
Qingmu followed up and said: "We elves are elves born by nature, and we have always believed that our destiny has always been arranged by nature, including marriage. Your marriage to Yingxue is also arranged and gifted by nature.
, we will make some efforts to promote it. If you do not successfully combine, it will be disrespect and resistance to nature. In that case, our tribe will definitely be punished by nature. Although you are a human being, you are already in our
We are among the elves, so we naturally have to respect our rules and beliefs."
Ling Chen: "!@#￥%..." (I'm confused about the logic of this!)
"As for your second worry, it is even more unnecessary." Granny Kumu said as she stretched out her withered old hand, with a wooden bottle only the size of a thumb placed in the palm of her hand: "Come on, child, put this bottle of genie
Drink the water, and then your body, soul, and strength will be purified. From then on, you will have the blood of the elves, the life span of the elves, and the power of the elves. Become an elf like us, so that you don’t need to worry.
I can’t stay with Yingxue for a long time.”
The body, soul, and strength will be purified, and you will have the blood of elves from now on... and become a true elf!
Ling Chen's heart beat suddenly and he shook his head quickly: "I am a human, how can I become an elf! And I can't stay here forever. My friends are all in the human world. I will find a way to go back one day.
!”
"Indeed, you are a human now, and your heart is destined to be unable to settle here, so you need to drink this elven water. In addition, you have entered our clan from the outside twice in a row, and you obviously know the nature of the maze.
If you use this method to pass through, and then tell others about the method of passing through, then our elves will never have peace, and may even encounter disaster. Therefore, you must drink the water of the elves no matter what. The water of the elves.
Water will not only make you a real elf, but it will also purify your memory and lose all the memories that have nothing to do with the elves. In that case, you can live in the world of elves without any worries or worries.
"This is of infinite benefit to you. So, come here and drink it." Granny Kumu's voice was old and slow, but every word was like a bell, vibrating Ling Chen's eardrums and heartstrings.
Ling Chen: "!!!" (Purify...memory?)
In his mind, the scene when he was in Novice Village, when his spirit was attacked by the Moon of Scourge, suddenly flashed through his mind. The feeling was extremely real, and it should never appear in a normal virtual game world. He even believed that if it weren't for
He was a pervert with strong mental power. His spirit had collapsed and he had become a puppet of the Divine Moon. It was also from that time that he began to realize that the world of the Divine Moon was unusual. It seemed that it could really affect a person's spirit.
So, if I drink this elven water, will I really lose all other memories?
With the lessons learned from the Moon of Scourge, Ling Chen would never try it. But at this moment, Qi Yue's voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Little Master! Never drink the Elf Water.
In my memory, elven water is used to purify sinful beings who are not guilty enough to die. It can purify their bodies, strength and memories. If the highest elven water is used on humans, it can also be used directly to
It will purify you into an elf. Don’t drink it, otherwise you will really lose all your memories and even your own race!”
Ling Chen quickly took a step back and said resolutely: "No! I am a human and do not need to become an elf. I will never drink elf water! As for the method of passing through the maze of nature, I will definitely not
Tell someone!"
The firmness in his words reached everyone's ears clearly, and the elves fell silent. After a short period of silence, Granny Kumu sighed: "We elves never want to force others, but we don't want to force others, and we never want to."
We will not disobey the arrangements of nature. Since you don’t want to, we have to help you drink this fairy water.”
