Chapter 235
The brave Simmel defeated the Demon King. Although there are still many monsters remaining in this world, peace has truly arrived.
28 years after the death of the brave Simmel, in a forest in the northern countries.
This forest, which no one would normally visit, and even merchants driving carriages would not normally pass by, had a few guests today.
The team consists of one man and two women. The leader is a female elf with long silver hair tied into twin tails and hanging down to her chest. The other girl has purple hair and a good figure but has no expression on her face. The male has red and black hair, and his back is Carrying a long-handled double-edged ax on his back, he should be a warrior.
"Lord Fulilian, where are we going?"
The woman with long purple hair asked the silver-haired elf walking at the front, her voice calm and without any obvious fluctuations.
"Isn't this road too difficult to walk?"
The red-haired male warrior complained softly, "I remember that the nearest village is not in this direction..."
The silver-haired elf walking at the front, Fulian, did not stop because of their words. She didn't even look back. She just answered calmly.
"As for the village, there is no rush. The nearest village is still about two days away. Before that, there is a place I want to visit."
"Where do you want to go, Lady Frilian?"
The purple-haired girl Fei Lun repeated doubtfully, "It's really rare that Lord Fulilian would be so interested in a certain place. Could it be that there are any precious magic books or magic tools there?"
Then, Fearon saw Fulilian tilting her head and remaining silent for a moment.
"Hmm...doesn't it count?"
"What are you doing with such an ambiguous answer?"
The warrior Shutark scratched his head speechlessly.
With precious magic books or magic tools, the first thing that came to Hugh Talk's mind was the ruins from ancient times... and they were still unexplored super-difficult ruins. Generally, these ruins would have very strong... Monsters serve as guards.
"Can I run away? I want to run away..."
"What stupid things are you talking about all of a sudden? Lord Shoutalk."
Hugh Talk's cowardly words made Philan give him a hurtful look that seemed to say, "Is this man's head finally broken?" This gave Hugh Talk, who was fragile in his heart, an urge to cry.
At this time, Fulian's words attracted their attention.
"Here we are, right here."
Frillian stopped a few steps ahead, but when Hugh Tucker and Fearon followed Frillian's gaze and looked forward... they saw nothing.
"Lord Fulilian, is there nothing here?"
Fearon directly asked the doubts in her heart, but Fulilian did not answer her. Instead, she touched her chin and looked at... a tree in front of her seriously.
Is there anything odd about this tree?
However, in the eyes of Fearon and Shutark, this tree has no characteristics. It is as ordinary as all the surrounding trees in terms of appearance and magic power.
"Really? From your point of view, there is nothing here in Feilun..."
Fulilian suddenly laughed and turned to look at Faylan.
Since Fulian said this, it means... there is indeed something here?
"It's okay. It's not Feilun's fault, because even I wouldn't have found this place so easily if I didn't know the specific location in advance."
With that said, Fulian raised her hand towards the two of them.
"Come on, take my hand, or don't blame me if you get left out without permission."
Shutark and Philan looked at each other. Although they didn't understand what Fulilian meant, out of trust in Fulilian, they still held the hand that Fulilian extended.
Then, Fulian was still walking in the front, while Philon and Hugh Tucker followed behind with the former holding Fulian's hand... This scene was inexplicably like a pair of parents holding their young daughter out to play. It's just that the two parents who act as parents are too young.
It looked like Fulilian was about to hit the tree, but she didn't slow down at all.
A magical scene appeared. The moment Fulilian touched the tree, the tree...or rather, everything in front of Fulilian became like a lake. Fulilian passed through it easily, in a circle. Circle ripples rippled gently.
Before Fearon and Hugh Tucker had time to be shocked by Fulilian's disappearance, they were led by Fulilian through the rippling "lake".
What immediately caught their eyes was a small wooden cabin in the middle of a dense jungle.
The area around the cabin is very neat, clean and quiet. Not only the monsters that often appear in the forest, but also small animals such as birds and squirrels are not seen.
There are many types of flowers planted in the surrounding corner, which is pleasing to the eye. The floral fragrance in the air is not strong but it makes people feel relaxed.
Both Hughtark and Fearon were shocked by the sudden scenery in front of them.
"This is... an enchantment? But why don't I feel the magic power fluctuations belonging to the enchantment at all?"
Unlike the magician Fearon, who is good at sensing magic, Shutark is a warrior. He was completely shocked by the sudden appearance of the cabin in front of him. At most, he could only sigh, "Magic is so powerful" or something like that.
"Stop standing there and come here quickly."
The two people who came back to their senses looked at Fulilian who was walking further and further away, and hurriedly followed her.
"Wait a moment, Lady Frilian."
Stepping on the path paved with smooth small stones, a few people slowly walked to the door of the cabin.
"The person who lives here...is someone known to Lord Fulilian?"
When Fulian stepped up the steps and was about to knock on the door, Fearon suddenly asked.
"Yeah, we know each other."
Fulilian knocked on the door, then turned to look at Feilun, "Not just me, but also Simmel, Haita, and Aize. We all know each other. After all, we traveled together for a while. ”
Fearon and Hugh Tucker were both startled.
"Traveling with the master... wasn't that at least seventy years ago?"
Hugh Tucker's expression became complicated.
Seventy years... maybe human beings have died, right?
After all, out of the four-person team of Simmel heroes who defeated the Demon King, only the dwarf Aize and the elf Frilian are still alive. Haita and Simmel are ordinary humans and have passed away.
Dwarves can probably live to be three hundred years old, and elves can live even longer...almost eternity. There is no problem at least living for thousands of years.
Hugh Talk was a little curious as to whether the person Frilian mentioned was still alive...but he felt it was too rude, so he didn't ask.
"Coming."
There was a voice coming from behind the door.
You can tell from the timbre that she is a woman. She is gentle, delicate, sweet, and silky. Every syllable is like a carefully woven melody, which can easily touch the listener's heartstrings.
Immediately, under the gaze of the three people, the wooden door was opened.
426
Chapter 426: The elf named Qie.
The person who opened the door was a dignified and charming girl.
Her skin is as fair as flawless jade, her long golden hair is shawl-length, and a blue-black bow tie tied into a single ponytail behind her head, which makes the girl look more heroic. Her green eyes are bright and deep, and her face is Sophisticated, looks pretty without makeup.
The most eye-catching thing is the golden hair that stands on top of the girl's head. It makes people feel that something bad will definitely happen if these hairs are plucked out...
"Eh? Fulilian? It really makes me wonder if there is something wrong with my eyes. You actually came to me. You haven't come to me for so long. I thought you had forgotten me."
When she saw Fulilian, the blond girl showed an expression of surprise, and Fulilian also smiled.
"It hasn't been long, right? Didn't we just meet forty years ago?"
"It's not forty years. The last time we met was probably twenty-eight years ago... I also went to Simmel's funeral. I saw you at that time."
"Huh? Were you there at that time?"
It could easily be decades ago... It was really hard for Fearon and Hugh Tucker to get used to such an chronological conversation.
After a while, several people were welcomed into the cabin and sat at the small table.
"Is that so... Feilun, who was adopted by Haita and then accepted as a disciple by Fulilian, and Aize's disciple Shutarke..."
Frillian briefly introduced Philon and Hughtark to the blond girl, and then looked at Philon and Hughtark who were curious about the identity of the girl in front of them.
"Her name is Ji, and Ni is an elf like me. She traveled with me and Simmel for a while before."
When Fei Lun and Xiu Tucker cast their surprised eyes on Ai, Ai coughed twice and said with a smile.
"This is the first time we meet. I'm Qie. Nice to meet you, Feilun and Shutarke."
Fearon: "Nice to meet you, Lord Ash."
Hugh Tucker: "Hello."
They are two really polite people.
"Does Lady Fulian know other elves?"
Fearon looked at Fulilian expressionlessly, and then Fulilian nodded and said: "I have no contact with other elves, because we elves basically have some emotional flaws, and our life span is very short. Anyway, we have thousands of years to waste. The world is so small, we will always encounter it a few times, so we basically don’t contact others intentionally... But Ai is an exception. "
"I should be regarded as Frilian's half-disciple, right?"
Resting his chin on the back of his hand, Ash's eyes curled up like crescent moons with a smile, "I learned a lot of magic from Fulian. She collected a bunch of magic that seemed useless but very interesting." The magic makes people wonder, "Can magic still be used like this?"
"Why 'half apprentice'?"
Shutark suddenly spoke, while Ai explained patiently.
"Because Fulilian refused to accept a disciple... It would be a waste of time and a hindrance to teach a disciple."
At this point, Qi pouted and complained, "You can do farm work for others for a magic book that is confirmed to be a fake, but you actually think that teaching disciples is a waste of time..."
"The person who has been insisting on helping others with farm work is Simmel, right? Haita also asked him why, as a brave man, he didn't go to conquer monsters but instead helped others with farm work..."
"In my opinion, when it comes to wasting time, you and Simmel are evenly matched..."
Ash and Fulian just quarreled among themselves, causing the neglected Shutark and Fearon to look at each other.
…
The sky outside the window is getting darker, the fiery red sunset sinks into the hills, and the starry night covers the sky.
"Because I've always been the only one living here, the food is very simple... just eat together."
Ai brought out the last dish, and then smiled as he saw the three people sitting around the dining table eating the dinner in front of them.
"The food cooked by Master Ash is very delicious."
Fearon calmly offered the compliment.
"Yes, yes! I was worried when I knew there was no meat... I didn't expect that only vegetarian dishes could taste so good."
After finally swallowing the food in his mouth, Hugh Tucker also praised him.
Fulilian also said: "You still hate meat so much, Ash."
"What can I do? I really can't stand such greasy things."
After enjoying dinner, Ash put away the tableware, and then saw Fulilian following him into the kitchen, so he smiled and asked.
"What? Do you want to come and wash the dishes together?"
"No."
"It turns out it's not..."
Although she had known for a long time that Fulilian was not the kind of person who would take the initiative to help, but... she was still a little disappointed.
"I'm here to ask for magic from you."
There was a rare change in the expression on Fulilian's face. Specifically, the corners of her mouth raised a few pixels. "After so many years, you should have collected a lot of interesting magic, right? Teach me, I can I’ll trade it with you for the magic I have.”
"I'm sorry, you just hurt my heart, which caused my favorability towards you to drop by 10%. Now my favorability towards you does not support the 'exchange magic' function."
"...Can the magic that can wash dishes look like new in one go increase the favorability level enough?"
"You're kidding! You're half my master, so your favorability level must be full! Just tell me which magic you like."
After a while, Qie looked at the bowls and plates floating in the air, which were as clean as the ones she had just bought. Little stars twinkled in her eyes.
Finally free from the endless dishwashing hell! !
Feeling that the future was extremely bright, Ash hummed a tune happily and took Fulilian to his room.
Qie's room is not big, but it doesn't look crowded. There are only two rows of bookshelves in the room except for one bed. There is no dust on the bookshelves, and the books on them are neatly placed. It can be seen that the owner cares about them. love and care.
As soon as Fulilian entered the door, she saw the big bookshelf.
