"Anyway...can you please take me in for one night? I can help you with your mission tomorrow to repay you!"
Looking at the girl by the window with light green eyes, Xia Ye Yinghuo clasped her hands together and prayed carefully.
I hope this NPC girl, who looks much younger than me, will be kind enough to take me in for a night.
"are you sure?"
With her back to the moonlight outside the window, the girl's lusterless dark eyes looked at the fireflies in the summer night. There was a hint of ominousness in her tone, and she spoke slowly.
The deep darkness shrouded her little figure, making her face look a little blurry.
"It's probably not too late to leave now..."
For some reason, despite the bright firelight from the fireplace, the place where the girl sat was still shrouded in the darkness of the night, with only the faint light cast by the twin moons in the sky.
"What's the meaning……?"
The girl's faint tone echoed in her ears, and she was stared at by a pair of lusterless dark eyes shrouded in shadow.
Xia Ye Yinghuo's breath suddenly suffocated slightly, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva secretly, and felt discouraged in her heart.
But when she slowly retreated to the door, she saw the darkness outside the door, as if a lot of monsters would pop out of the dark street at any time.
Feeling the warm, fragrant air in the room and the bright crackling fire in the fireplace, she made up her mind again.
Even if I get a look from the girl for this, I still must stay here for one night shamelessly!
It looks so dark and scary outside, but it's safer here!
And there is also an NPC little sister to accompany you, so you will not be alone at night.
She doesn't like feeling alone.
"Please don't drive me away. I really can't find a place to stay, even if you just let me stay in the hall for one night."
Returning from the gate again, the girl and half-elf looked pitifully at the black-haired girl by the window.
"It's up to you... you can live wherever you want."
The girl by the window muttered vaguely, then turned around again, looking at the moon outside the window, no longer paying attention to the actions of the fireflies on the summer night.
"Thank you so much!"
Without thinking too much about the girl's reaction, Xiaye Yinghuo was very happy not to have to sleep on the street in such a dark night.
"I'm Vivian, can you tell me your name?"
Seeing the mysterious girl house owner turn around, Xia Yeyinghuo flattered herself and knelt down next to her, while carefully throwing a detection to the NPC girl in front of her.
"...Lona."
Lorna turned her head slightly and looked at her with black eyes.
Same as the 'novice guide' NPC, except for the name part showing Lorna's name, the rest of the attributes are still question marks.
The level is too low and there is no human rights.
"Lona? What a nice name!"
"..."
"Lona, your home is so beautiful. I once dreamed of living in such a big house——"
"..."
"Lona, do you feel lonely if you live here alone? I don't like the feeling of loneliness."
"..."
For the rest of the time, the half-elf girl was basically chattering away.
The black-haired mysterious girl Lona just listened quietly, staring at Xia Ye Yinghuo with her dark eyes, without making any comments.
As he spoke, Xia Yeyinghuo's vision suddenly blurred.
She glanced at the panel with some confusion and noticed that her mental fatigue level had reached the warning level.
"Sorry, I have to go to bed...one last question, can I sleep here?"
Looking at Lona a little apologetically, Xia Ye Yinghuo finally confirmed.
"..."
The little girl with black hair and black eyes nodded slightly, then turned her head again, looked at the moon outside the window, and stopped responding.
With Lorna's approval, the half-elf girl found a soft-looking couch and fell asleep on it.
…
"Well...it's so bright."
The next day, the slightly pale sunlight shone on Xiaye Yinghuo's eyelids, waking her up.
The surrounding environment is in ruins, and as far as the eye can see, it is completely ruins.
In the early morning in the seaport town, there was a thin layer of mist on the ground. The cold and damp wind passed over her body, causing goosebumps to appear all over her body.
The girl and half-elf moved, but her vision was blurry, her body was very heavy, and she couldn't control herself.
I opened the panel and took a look. I only had a dozen or so health points left, and my magic and stamina had already bottomed out.
At the same time, a series of negative states appeared in the status bar of the panel: [Severe Fatigue], [Moderate Weakness], [Severe Trance]...
And a special negative state [Dream Eclipse]
The description of dream eclipse is very simple: your spirit is specially disturbed, making you want to return here unconsciously.
Summer Night Fireflies:......
She doesn't want to come back here, she just wants to stay far away from here.
No matter how dull she was, she understood that she probably got into a special scene last night.
Taking out two broad-leaf lettuces and a salted fish, a specialty of the harbor, the girl quickly ate them.
[Endurance +10, Endurance +10, Endurance +15]
This is a great thing about game characters. You can replenish your stamina and physical strength by eating directly in a non-combat state.
However, due to the satiety setting, it is impossible to eat broadleaf lettuce from truck to truck.
.….….
Meanwhile, the sleeping siren.
On the second day after arriving on the island, after having a simple breakfast in the tavern, Anvis took Jom away and headed to the administrative hall on the central side of Port Lavanles City.
Although it is a remote port town isolated from the world, it also has a simple administrative system due to people's needs.
This kind of administrative agency is often equipped with an archive room to store various local information and historical situations.
Anvis was going to go there to research the specific history of the island and the information about the cult of the alien god.
Along the way, he discovered the female half-elf player from before again.
Her condition didn't look very good, she was weak, as if she had just finished two sets of fifty one-handed push-ups, and then was forced to do math problems for an hour.
Since the direction was different and there was no need to use her for the time being, Anvis continued to maintain his direction after taking a glance.
After a while, the two Anvis arrived at their destination.
The administrative hall of Lavanles is a large three-story building that looks like an inverted ship.
Like most buildings in Hong Kong City, it is also made of gray-white granite.
At six o'clock in the morning, the administrative hall was deserted, and no one came here.
Pushing open the tall and heavy wooden door, Anvis took Jom inside, making this building officially welcome its first visitor today.
