The body...has recovered?"

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Lord Chosen One."

At this moment, I was talking to this poor elf girl in the back garden of the VIP hotel in a blunt Annuo language.

Her name is Puffy Merrigil, the elf girl we met in the baron's mansion before.

Now she is looking at me with a smile on her face, which makes me a little bit at a loss. After all, we are not very familiar with each other. Although I did come to see her when I saw her just now, I just gave her a simple greeting.

After a few sentences, I didn’t know how to continue talking, and even if I thought of some topics to resolve the embarrassment, I didn’t know how to say them. After all, I only know a few words in Annuo.

"Hey, Ruby, can't you help me translate a few words?" I lowered my head and whispered to the little guy in my arms.

Ruby looked up at me, then looked back at the other person, and then nodded at me.

"You can just call me by my name." I asked Ruby to tell her.

Puffy looked at Ruby in my arms a little strangely.

"She asked you 'Am I your daughter?'."

I looked up at the other party helplessly. To be honest, I was really reluctant to answer this question because many people had asked it in the past two days. Although they all asked Diana behind my back, when I

When I was asked this directly, I felt inexplicably nervous. Especially even if I denied this statement, the other party might not believe it. After all, some things I heard from Severna made me think that this guy actually came from

Physiologically speaking, they can indeed be regarded as my "blood relatives".

I looked down at Ruby in my arms. This little guy was waiting for my answer expectantly, although I didn't know if she could really understand the other meaning of this question.

"No...but it means almost the same as 'daughter'." I glanced at the little guy in my arms with some regret.

But I found that Ruby pouted, clearly expressing her dissatisfaction, but she still turned to talk to Puffy. But what Ruby said seemed to be obviously longer than my original text. She must have said more.

A few words or they didn't translate my words at all and just said something to themselves.

The evidence is that after hearing what she said, Miss Puffy blushed inexplicably, and her expression changed from curiosity to wonder, and even a little embarrassed that made me feel that the meaning was unclear.

"Oh hey, what did you say to her?" I lowered my head and asked nervously.

But the little guy hit my forehead very stubbornly, then suddenly reached out and grabbed a handful of candies from my pocket, and then quickly jumped out of my arms before I could react, and flew away.

In no time, he ran to the stone arch door of the garden.

I turned around and looked around, and saw this little bastard making an inexplicable face at me, and then ran towards the group of elf girls not far from the stone arch that had been quietly observing us.

I glared at her angrily, but I wasn't angry either. Because I couldn't have a normal conversation with Puffy without a translator, so the two of us could only look at each other hesitantly, and the atmosphere was awkward again.

Got up.

"What happened? Erica, where is Ruby?"

Just when I was racking my brains to resolve the awkward atmosphere, Diana's voice suddenly came from the other side.

"Oh... You're here just in time. Come on, help me ask her what Ruby just said to her?" I grabbed Diana and made her sit next to me and said impatiently.

"What did Ruby say?" Diana looked at Puffy with some confusion, but for some reason the other person's face was getting redder and redder. I simply couldn't understand why this guy was acting like this.

But I could only watch eagerly as Diana continued to talk to Puffy in Elvish language that I couldn't understand at all.

To be honest, I have heard some about the Elvish language in this world, and I also asked Diana to explain it to me. It’s just that this strange language does sound regular at first glance, but the most terrible thing is that Elvish language is

Both the language structure and the number of words are a bit crazy. The most intuitive expression is that Diana once gave me an example. There are as many as 11 words for the word "apple" in Elvish, and this time

There are no similarities in most of the vocabulary.

Later, Diana told me that the reason for this complication actually had something to do with the past history of the elves. According to legend, the elves had lived in the same place as other races on the continent since their birth, and everyone also used the same

Language, until a certain disaster broke out and their homes were destroyed, so that the large elves were displaced and lived separately. The long-term separation of ethnic groups also evolved many different cultural differences, and the branch of language is the most obvious one.

way of expression.

According to the ancient records of the elves, many ethnic groups had already experienced language barriers at that time, and this situation lasted for nearly a thousand years until the god named Katari sent his god

The Chosen One came to make trouble in this world, and many elven groups were exterminated due to the invasion of evil. At that time, with the help of the goddess Severna, a group of elven heroes came out and led their respective groups to begin the unification.

And migration, eventually most of the elves on this continent migrated to the north of the continent and established the elf country Isheka, and the languages ​​of the elves slowly unified into one in the next few hundred years.

What it looks like now.

I cannot fully understand the magnificent past history of the Elf race through words alone, but I can intuitively understand the difficulty and tenacity of this race. Because from the time when the ancient homeland was destroyed to the present, almost 60% of the

The elves were exterminated, and this tragedy cannot be understood through written records.

I shook my head to stop myself from thinking about these past events, and focused my attention on Diana and Puffy again. I didn’t know what Diana was talking to her about, but it didn’t sound like they were talking about much.

Diana also felt inexplicably shy.

"Hey...how's it going?" I took advantage of their chat and quickly tugged on Diana's arm and asked.

"No...nothing."

"Don't be ridiculous, you are completely telling the truth."

"Shut up!"

"Hey, what are you doing..."

"Hey! Erica, Diana." At this moment, Aurora's voice suddenly came from behind.

I subconsciously turned around and saw that Aurora and the Severin matriarch were walking out together, but looking at their expressions, they seemed to want to go out.

"Is something wrong?" I stood up and asked.

"Yes, we are going to see Miss Michael. There are some important things that need to be discussed, so you have to come together." Aurora said seriously.

"What's going on?" Diana stood up and asked.

"About the underground passage... this matter seems to involve Meryl Gil as well..."

"I understand, let's go then."

"Wait a minute." Diana suddenly grabbed my sleeve and said, "I'll leave this to you first. I have something to talk to her about."

We looked at Diana and Puffy beside her. I don't know why, but I nodded subconsciously and left with the three of them.

"Thank you, Phyllis." Puffy said to me softly after watching the three people go.

"Nothing." I pulled her to sit down again and sighed. Then I looked at Puffy's sad smile and asked, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes." Puffy answered very firmly, so I didn't want to persuade her anymore.

"Over there at Severin..."

"The patriarch has agreed."

"Really... Then in the clan..."

"No one is rejecting me... This is my own choice."

"Sigh... Life is not easy for outliers." Seeing the somewhat stubborn Puffy, I rubbed my forehead with a headache.

"I know, I just want to find a place to live quietly for a while."

"Is it quiet... Then you will be disappointed. There will be no peace in the Varanato area now. You can't live alone."

"I believe in my..."

"Strength?" I suddenly interrupted her and then choked: "Your magic and swordsmanship are indeed good, but you have no chance of winning against a small human army. Even if it is not an army but a group of human hunters, you

You may not be able to escape intact, let alone those monsters in the wild."

Puffy suddenly became depressed when I said this, and I seemed to think that what I just said was indeed inappropriate, because I unintentionally exposed her scar. Her caravan was killed by the baron.

That group of second-rate soldiers were defeated. Although the key factor was the Baron's special ability, from the information I got from her later, it was not difficult to find out how embarrassed that caravan was when facing ordinary human soldiers.

It’s not that the elves’ combat effectiveness is not as good as that of humans, but that elves are not as cunning as humans. Even the rough concept of group tactics is a very unfamiliar understanding to Meryl Gil’s compatriots. After all, Mei

Lijir's people are a group of pioneers rather than an army. They may be able to easily win against wild beasts or monsters, but in the face of a war with humans, apart from relying on forest defense, they are actually not as good as the second-rate humans.

army.

"You know, I was rounded up by humans many times when I was wandering around with humans."

"You?!" Puffy looked at me in disbelief.

"Yes."

"Why?"

"The reason is almost the same as yours..." As soon as I finished saying this, I noticed that her mood began to change. She simply clenched her hands as if there was a strong resentment in her heart.

"Humans...can't be trusted...all deserve to die..." Puffy murmured a few words angrily, but after a while she suddenly raised her head and looked at me in panic and said: "I'm sorry...I didn't mean that...you

That friend of mine... and that Lord God's Chosen One..."

"Haha, I know, and I also understand your feelings. When I was rounded up by the group of human slave traders, I had the same idea as you, but later I received help from many kind-hearted humans, so I gradually understood

Some things. Now I still hate those despicable slave traders, but this does not prevent me from having a good impression of other human beings."

"You are really strong..." Puffy nodded in understanding, then said with a smile.

"I'm not strong at all...it's just that you have never seen my weak side..." I don't know why I suddenly remembered the incident when I met Erica, so I felt a subtle sense of shame.

It came to my mind. In order to cover up this kind of thing, I hurriedly said: "How about... you come to our place."
To be continued...
