    Chapter 17 Elf Attack 17 “I swear by my life and pray to the gods…

    Lu Qinian slept very tired that night. He either dreamed of a pair of dead fish eyes staring at him, or dreamed that he was tightly locked by an octopus with eighteen legs. He even dreamed of Alessi questioning him in a low voice…

    “Hiss——”

    Lu Qinian stood up and pinched the sore back of his neck. When he woke up, his whole body was twisted. He probably had a stiff neck, so he didn’t care to get up and walk out of the bedroom.

    The morning in the elves is warm and cool, and the breeze blows in through the wooden windows. The air in the forest is clear, and a few breaths will make you feel good.

    He stood by the window and looked for a while. There were already many elves walking outside the window. He estimated in his mind that he planned to make some food before there was enough time.

    Thinking in his mind, he turned around and took a step. The next second –

    His body froze.

    The soles of my feet felt obvious, as if I had stepped on pebbles, which stung my feet a bit, but the room had just been cleaned yesterday.

    Lu Qinian lowered his eyes and saw that there were several long-hardened soil prints on the ground. The shape of the prints was incomplete, but it could be seen that they were shoe prints.

    The elf pondered for a long time.

    He cleaned the footprints nonchalantly and turned around to cook breakfast.

    Most of the rice grown by the elves is grown by themselves, or wild rice found in the forest. The wild rice is rarely found in small quantities. This kind of rice does not taste good and can only fill the stomach.

    After dinner, Lu Qinian went to attend the early morning holy meeting near the holy tree.

    There was a dense crowd around the holy tree, and the moment the short-haired elf appeared, everyone’s attention fell on him.

    “He really cut his hair short.”

    “Didn’t the deer man say that he was tortured at the bottom of the sea? He was probably forced to do so, and he lost a lot of weight.”

    Discussions among the elves continued one after another.

    Laya’s eyes were full of worry, and she held Anti’s hand tightly: “Anti, don’t worry, I saw Sol yesterday morning, and he seemed to be in good condition. Besides, what they said may not be true. Maybe Sol was just too tired from the journey.”

    Antin’s face turned pale: “Raya, do you still remember what the deer man said?I’m afraid… Moreover, the red coral bush Milly gave me yesterday had a few drops of blood on it.”

    Yesterday at dusk, Milly called her and Antiy to the cabin and took out pearls, shells and red coral, saying that she would let them choose.

    Because Antin liked Thor, and Raya didn’t like the arrogant elf, she naturally wouldn’t compete with Antin for the coral, so Milly generously gave the coral to Antin.

    When she finally left, Raya happily held pearls and shells.But it was Millie who forced her to make two string bracelets out of pearls and wind chimes out of shells.

    Naturally, we talked a lot during this period. Milly said that Thor looked very haggard and very timid. Even the sound of wind would startle him. Andy was very worried from then on.

    As for the drop of blood, Laya pursed her lips and was speechless.

    Looking at Andy’s pale face, Milly immediately regretted what she said yesterday: “Anti, don’t worry, maybe Sol is like this because he is too tired from traveling.”

    “Yes, short blond hair is also very nice. Doesn’t that Deerman have short brown hair? It looks so small and cute, doesn’t it?”Raya quickly picked up the words.

    “I know, it’s just…” Antin didn’t continue.

    Ever since Thor left the elves, her two friends have been very worried about her and often brought her new things to make her happy.

    As she thought about it, she hung her head even more guiltily.

    An elf not far away said: “When the mermaid clan sent the message, the clan leader said something was wrong. Who knew that the mermaid clan would be so bold and reckless that they would let…”

    “Stop talking, he’s coming.”When the elf saw the short hair, he quickly scolded the person next to him.

    The elf immediately pursed his lips and stopped talking.

    Thor is the holy son of the elves. Even if he goes out for a trip, he cannot change his identity. He must stand beside the clan leader when praying.Lu Qinian kept walking, walking straight from the moment he entered the crowd to the foot of the sacred tree, and stood respectfully beside the clan leader.

    “Grandpa, I’m late.”

    The clan leader patted the back of his hand: “It’s not too late, we have to wait a while before we can start. You haven’t returned to the clan for a long time, so I will hold the prayer this time.”

    “good.”Lu Qinian’s hair was blown by the wind.

    Not long after, the clan leader slowly took a few steps towards the holy tree. All the elves fell completely silent and stared at the golden holy tree.

    The sacred tree was surrounded by exquisite wine bottles, wine poured into cups, fresh honey, freshly picked melons and fruits still hanging with dew, and fragrant flowers.

    Lu Qinian faced the holy tree. As the elf clan leader knelt down, he slowly knelt on the ground, hearing the clan leader’s old voice in his ears.

    “Pray to the gods to protect our clan and protect us from disasters…”

    All the elves closed their eyes and repeated prayers in their mouths.

    Then all the elves stood up and chanted no longer prayers, but prayers for their families.

    Alessi looked at the elf under the sacred tree silently.

    His elf had his back turned to him, standing under the brightest golden light. The light wind blew the elf’s short hair into a mess, and the sunlight fell on him, making him look like a god who had never shown his face.

    The elf softly recited the prayer, and Alesh heard it clearly. His world automatically blocked everyone’s voices except this elf.

    The boring prayers were like a lullaby, and even the headache that had been tormenting him for several days faded away a lot.

    After the prayer ended, Alessi narrowed his eyes in dissatisfaction. He wanted to hear more.

    The short-haired elf stood up slowly, and murmured slowly in a clear and clear voice: “I swear by my life and pray to the gods to bless Alexi and keep him safe and smooth in every life.”

    The light breeze blew by, and the golden leaves of the holy tree rustled. A touch of green appeared on all the elves. The green vitality enveloped the entire elves. Under the golden light, the faint greenery gathered together and merged into the holy tree.

    It was as if everyone’s prayers were heard by the gods.

    Alexi stood there with his eyes downcast. He didn’t know how long he stood there. It was so long that all the elves under the sacred tree had left, and the short-haired elf was nowhere to be seen.

    *

    After the holy meeting, Lu Qinian returned to the wooden house.

    “Alehi is there.”

    【009: Inside the forest.】

    The footprints were indeed his.

    Lu Qinian asked again: “Sleeping in the forest at night?”

    【009: By your side.】

    So when he opened his eyes, he was restrained not because he was sleeping in a twisted posture, but because he was entangled with a mermaid.

    Lu Qinian: “Why don’t I feel anything?”

    【009: Alessi puts a potion in the water.】

    Lu Qinian remembered that when he was cooking yesterday, he went to the well to fetch water. When he arrived at the well, there was just a bucket of water. He thought someone had forgotten to take the water away, so he took the water back home. Then he went to fetch a few more buckets, filled a bucket with water and put it back in its place before leaving.

    So, he took all the medicine-filled water home?!

    Lu Qinian was worried: “Will the water source be polluted?”

    【009: The antidote has been administered.】

    The elf breathed a sigh of relief: “Why didn’t you inform me.”

    【009: The system determines that there is no danger.】

    When 009 first took him away, he said that the host needed to complete the task independently and would only provide help in moments of life crisis.So Lu Qinian didn’t ask any more questions.

    I just thought that while he was still modern, he was one of thousands of social animals. He could not find a good job and was squeezed every day. He was working overtime even the second before he floated up.

    He was still not used to floating at first, and his soul still kept typing on the keyboard. If the white ball hadn’t suddenly floated in front of him, he would have thought he was tired and confused.

    After thinking about it, he still felt that life in another world was much more comfortable than when he was a social animal. If Alessi could live in peace with him, he would want to stay in the elves after the mission was completed.

    Now that Alessi is here, he doesn’t need to return to the bottom of the sea in a short time. Thinking of this, Lu Qinian is much happier, and even forgets what happened last night.

    The elves have a large area, occupying an entire mountain top, and there are often archers walking around in the nearby forest.

    The mermaid’s camp is stationed on another mountain, and it takes a lot of time to travel to and from the elves.

    Something was wrong when he came back from Alexi. Lingtang called the mermaid guards who were following him to come over and get to know each other for a long time. After thinking about it, he looked for Yangluo and discussed it together.

    The two of them had just sat together when a mermaid guard walked in: “High Priest, Your Majesty said to pack your belongings and return to the bottom of the sea.”

    “…” Lingtang turned to look at Yang Luo, and the two looked at each other in surprise.

    “And… do you still want to take those pearls back?”The mermaid asked in a low voice.

    Lingtang was silent for a moment: “I’ll ask your Majesty.”

    The items in the camp have been sorted out, and now only a pile of wooden boxes are left in place. The boxes are filled with pearls, corals and crystals brought from the bottom of the sea.Now these boxes are all piled up and bought together, waiting for their final destination.

    “Your Majesty.Lingtang cupped her hands and said, “It’s ready. You can return to the bottom of the sea at any time, but those pearls…”

    Alessi heard the sound and interrupted: “Send it to the elves.”

    Although Lingtang had a premonition, he still said: “Sending so many things suddenly may arouse the suspicion of other tribes.”

    What do you suspect?Does he have anything to do with the elves?

    Alessi: “Could it be that if I don’t send it, I won’t be suspicious?”

    Yes, all the tribes got the news that the Holy Son of the Elf tribe was wearing such clothes in the palace of the Mermaid King.

    Lingtang lowered his eyes: “Yes, then when do we set off?”

    The black-tailed mermaid was silent for a long time, then said: “You go back.”

    Lingtang raised his eyes in surprise and wanted to stop him: “Your Majesty!”

    Yangluo pushed away the tent and shouted angrily: “Have you forgotten that other races have united to attack you?It is not safe for you to stay on land now. It is impossible to stay alone among the elves.”

    “Do you want them to invade the elves?”

    Alessi raised his eyes and said coldly: “My poison is indestructible, and I will not survive for more than half a month. Whether I crusade or not is meaningless to me.”

    Alessi thinks that he is not a good person, if it were not for the mermaids in the reef area who were tortured and driven away by the sea monster.He had no choice but to become enemies with the Kraken.The old king kept compromising and gave away his territory to the Kraken. After his younger brother took office, he almost gave away his palace.

    If it weren’t for the young mermaid cubs being kidnapped by the sea monster, they would keep crying and praying.

    He doesn’t care about the throne at all, he just wants to avenge his mother.

    *

    “Get out!You useless piece of trash!What a useless thing!If you don’t die!I’ll kill him!”The red-tailed mermaid is violent and violent.

    The side of the blue and silver-tailed mermaid’s face was red and swollen, with an obvious fingerprint on her face. Tears rolled down her cheeks and fell to the ground from her bright blue eyes.

    “You are not allowed to talk about my mother!”The black-tailed little mermaid glared, bared her teeth, and stood in front of the mermaid with her hands spread out.

    “You trash, get out of here!”The red-tailed mermaid was instantly furious, kicked the little mermaid a few meters away, and slammed the door without looking back.

    “Bang——”

    “Well…well…” The little mermaid closed her eyes tightly, clutching her painful abdomen, trembling slightly and curling up.

    The mermaid struggled to crawl towards the little mermaid, then hugged the little mermaid in her arms, caressing her randomly with her palms, and her mouth was full of love and prayer: “Aleixi, Aleixi, does it hurt? It’s my mother who is sorry for you, it’s me who is sorry for you…”

    “No, it doesn’t hurt, Alessi doesn’t hurt.”The little mermaid’s whole body was cold, and her deep eyes were shaking with pain.

    “Alexi, Black Tail is not your fault. Your father promised me that when I…will send you away from the mermaid clan, you must grow up happily.”The silver-blue-tailed mermaid gently patted the little mermaid in her arms.

    Alessi in the cabin frowned, and cold sweat spread all over his body. The trembling movements of his body became louder and louder, until he woke up the elf beside him.

    Lu Qinian woke up and stared blankly at the familiar mermaid with long black curly hair. The mermaid looked like she was haunted by a nightmare.

    Before he could make a move, he only heard the merman’s murmur.

    “Mother…he lied to you, and I am not happy at all.”

    The author has something to say:

    ———————–

    Alessi: You know I didn’t have a mother when I was a child.

    Lu Qinian: I swear on my life…
