I'm a heartthrob in the wizarding world [Western Fantasy Elf]
Chapter 33 Southern Territory
As if a pair of invisible hands were writing on the rough yellow paper, a magnificent and mysterious picture appeared in front of Ye Qimeng's eyes.
It was a mountain range that spread thousands of kilometers south of Baiyan City. It was shaped like a giant dragon lying prone on the seashore. At the other end of the ridge is a plain area, and after dozens of kilometers you can see the endless sea.
The small plain area has neat square farmland and a rich network of waterways and rivers extending from the mountains.
There are no large urban buildings there, just scattered farmhouses and barns, and it looks like the rural areas often mentioned by elves.
The southern seaside is full of steep cliffs, so there are no large ports here. There are only some scattered small fishing villages, which should also be gathering places for humans.
Aibo should be helping Nahum look after these farmlands in the countryside and hire humans and half-elves to grow some local crops.
According to Ella, the human territory across the Serpent Strait has been contaminated by dark magic and can no longer allow humans and half-elves to survive.
Therefore, the humans and half-elves who chose to stay had no choice but to open up some barren lands that the pure-blood elves looked down upon.
The mountains are like natural isolation walls, separating humans and half-elves from pure-blood elves, avoiding continued conflict and hatred.
The picture on the paper map was basically clear, but Ye Qimeng still didn't know where the place Nahum was talking about was.
Until a red fork appeared in the valley in the middle of the ridge, she immediately realized that Aibo was indeed an earth elf, and he still liked to explore the valley caves.
She handed the paper map to Alexa and said, "Aibo should be at the red mark. When the sacred object is returned to them, it will be considered as completing the promise to the mysterious man in the abyss."
"Hopefully we can find this mysterious guy, it's going to be a tough job," Alexa prayed.
Ye Qimeng nodded, carefully put the map into his white robe, took out a silver coin from the purse on his waist and put it on the table, then he and Alexa stood up and left tacitly. Tavern.
When he opened the door of the pub, Wright was still at the bar behind him and asked loudly: "Why don't you have a few more drinks?"
"No, see you next time!" Alexa turned around and said goodbye to him.
"You must come again! I'll treat you to a drink..."
There was a hint of regret in Wright's tone, but they didn't know if they would come to this mixed tavern again. After all, spicy beer and salty broth really can't attract them.
***
It was already late at night when we came out of Baiyan City.
There was no pedestrian on the road on the outskirts of the city. Only Ye Qimeng and Alexa hurried along, carrying oil lamps and large bamboo baskets.
Tonight is another moonlit night, and the bright moonlight is still so hazy and beautiful, escorting travelers to the distance.
"I didn't expect that there is a moon in this world." Ye Qimeng seemed to have thought of something, raised his head and murmured to himself.
The moon in the sky is much bigger than her world, it looks five or six times bigger, and it also emits white mist in all directions, maybe it is the water vapor emitted by the melted ice on the star ring.
This made her look a little fascinated, and she couldn't help but stop and stare at this mysterious planet.
Seeing her stop, Alexa turned around and walked to her side, admiring the beautiful night sky with her, and explained: "This is not the moon, this is our sacred Luna star, the night traveler's star." Guardian Star.”
"What a coincidence. My hometown also calls the moon Luna, but it's not the Luna in the sky."
Ye Qimeng felt a little surprised. It seemed that this magical world was not completely unfamiliar to her.
"Is this what humans say? This is the first time I've heard of it..."
Alexa felt that the name "Luna" was indeed a bit familiar, but also a bit novel.
When she was about to continue talking about this topic, she found that Ye Qimeng was already walking in front, and turned around to urge: "Let's go home quickly. The night in the suburbs looks a bit eerie."
Alexa came to her senses and followed Ye Qimeng in a few steps, embarking on the journey home together.
***
Another tall and thin figure stood at the door of the cabin. If you look closely, it was Alexa's personal puppet maid.
She was holding a dim oil lamp, waiting for the return of Alexa and Ye Qimeng.
This was probably what Ella taught the puppet maid before she left, because this was how Ella waited for them to come back.
The puppet maid seemed to sense their presence not far away, and gradually turned around, as if she had been inspired by something.
She raised the oil lamp in her hand and placed it next to her face, trying to see clearly the appearance of the people from far to near, but it also added a hint of horror to herself.
"Hi, are you waiting for us?" Ye Qimeng waved to the puppet maid at the door of the cabin and asked loudly.
The puppet maid couldn't speak. She just nodded mechanically, looked at them with empty eyes, and kept a standard smile on her face.
For some reason, Ye Qimeng always felt that there seemed to be a glimmer of light in the puppet maid's eyes that could not rotate. Alexa clearly said that the puppet maid's eyeballs were made of obsidian and white flame stone.
How can emotions appear in inorganic objects? She must be too tired to see it wrong.
she guessed.
When Alexa saw the puppet maid waiting for her, her steps obviously became brisk. It seems that she has regained the ability to walk now, and she can walk much faster than Ye Qimeng.
The puppet maid took the big bamboo basket from Alexa's hand, hung it on the elbow of the hand holding the oil lamp, and opened the door for them with her other hand free.
When she wanted to continue taking the basket in Ye Qimeng's hand, Ye Qimeng refused and just patted her shoulder with appreciation.
"I feel like I've touched a pile of hard straw."
Ye Qimeng was a little surprised by the hard core of the puppet maid's body under the human appearance.
"She is my personal maid, so her body is made of the best obsidian and white flame stone. It is not like other puppet maids who were destroyed when the palace collapsed. Most of them are made of straw." Alexa Putting his coat on the shelf by the door, he proudly turned around and explained.
Ye Qimeng put down the big bamboo basket in his hand, finally freed from the huge white robe, and threw it casually on the shelf.
"It turns out to be a gem maid. She looks so expensive."
She lamented that Alexa had not lost the luxurious life before the manor, and couldn't help but touch the puppet maid's elbow again. It really felt like a stone.
"Don't you also have a house servant Ella? This is not an elf that ordinary people can have. It is an exclusive house servant that only pure-blood noble families can pass down from generation to generation."
Alexa seemed to suddenly think that a human like Ye Qimeng could have such a cherished house servant elf. She couldn't help but doubt her true identity, so she joked: "Are you the personal belongings of a certain Duke?" Giving birth to a girl?”
After saying that, Alexa felt that her words were a little inappropriate and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you about your personal affairs so directly."
"Ah, it's nothing. I am Duke White's daughter who lives abroad." Ye Qimeng said frankly about her identity: "Ella was originally Duke White's house elf, but she inherited it to me. I haven't figured it out yet. The truth is, the Duke and Duchess are both dead.”
Alexa was speechless after hearing this. She must be regretting her impulsive words and deeds now.
Ye Qimeng, on the other hand, looked indifferent, as long as she didn't say that she was actually born to the duchess, but changed her identity to the illegitimate daughter of the duke.
Then it just diverged from the regicide curse, and it could be regarded as a good way to conceal the truth and protect oneself.
Alexa hugged Ye Qimeng and comforted her: "You should not be responsible for the mistakes of the previous generation. I will always be by your side!"
This shocked Ye Qimeng, who was originally calm in her heart. Originally, she, a "substitute" from the human civilization world, had no feelings about these love and hatred at all. Alexa's words made her feel... He looked like a miserable, down-and-out rich man.
Ye Qimeng stroked Alexa's back and comforted her: "Life will get better!"
"Yeah." Alexa responded softly, gently but firmly.
***
Since the capital city of Santaros is far away, even if you ride a winged horse, it will take a week to go back and forth, not to mention whether the doctor can provide a timely solution to the dark magic.
So, today's dinner was made by the puppet maid. And under Ella's guidance, she became more familiar with civilian dishes.
The recipe is smoked bean stew, served with a green salad and a glass of red wine. It was an exquisite and elegant dinner, and even Alexa, who was accustomed to aristocratic life, ate it with gusto.
Compared to Ye Qimeng who was eating Haisai indiscriminately, Alexa was chewing every bite of food carefully, quite like a noble lady from the old days.
"thanks......"
The puppet maid added another spoonful of bean stew to Ye Qimeng and nodded to show that she heard the thanks.
But Ye Qimeng wanted to say there was no need to add more because she was already full, but she didn't know the name of the puppet maid.
So she asked Alexa, "What's her name?"
Ye Qimeng pointed at the puppet maid beside him.
After living with Alexa for so long, I never heard her mention the name of the puppet maid. She only used gestures and telepathy magic to control the movements of the puppet maid.
Alexa stopped using the knife and fork in her hand, picked up the red wine glass beside her, touched the slender neck of the glass and thought carefully: "It is true that I didn't give her a name. I used telepathy to control her since she was a child. , and I don’t know if she also has biological emotions.”
"Take one so you can summon her." Ye Qimeng suggested.
"Then let's call her by a human name. After all, she has the appearance of a human, why not let you choose it?" Alexa suggested as she took a sip of the red wine in the glass.
This put Ye Qimeng in a difficult position. He touched his chin and thought carefully: "Why don't you just give me my last name, call...Ye..."
"Ye what?"
Alexa curiously put down the red wine glass in her hand and came forward to wait for Ye Qimeng to tell her the entire name. Even the puppet maid leaned down and imitated Alexa, listening and waiting for Ye Qimeng's next words.
Ye Qimeng held her breath and didn't know how to spit it out. Finally, she saw the vase of bright red flowers in full bloom on the table, which looked even more eye-catching under the dazzling candlelight of the fire.
She blurted out: "Let's call her Ye Meigui!"
"Rose is such a beautiful and delicate flower. This name seems very special when paired with your last name..." Alexa lowered her eyes and thought.
The way she commented seriously made even Ye Qimeng almost believe that this rustic name was indeed so elegant and unique.
"Then let's call it Ye..." Ye Qimeng was still thinking of a more feasible name.
The puppet maid put her hand on her shoulder, causing her to turn around, only to see the puppet maid nodding towards her.
The very rhythmic mechanical movements and Alexa's approval made her decide to call the puppet maid "Ye Rose".
What a very fulfilling and happy day! Ye Qimeng sighed in his heart.
