Elf Story from Another World

Chapter 12

It was already midnight outside, but Lowenstein still took Oyue out of the castle.

They climbed onto the city wall. Although it was night, there were still guards patrolling.

The bright white moonlight shines on the city wall, and the light of the torches mixes with the moonlight, making it look particularly charming.

"We have to wait. It will take a few minutes for the floating ball to get here." Lowenstein took out a card from his robe and placed it beside the city wall. The blue shimmer spreads along the magical lines, which looks very gorgeous.

Ouyue tilted his head. He remembered that Charlie also had such a picture, so he raised his head and asked curiously: "What is this?"

"This kind of card is the certificate of life here. It has elemental circuits engraved on it. As long as it is placed on the appropriate induction array, the information inside can be revealed." Lowenstein thought for a while, and then said: "Oh, Suddenly I remembered that I haven’t applied for this card for you yet. When I come back, I will take you to apply for one, which will be very convenient for many things."

"Wow, that sounds so awesome." Ou Yue clapped softly, then he raised his head with some confusion and looked at the moon.

"Why don't you leave early?" Ou Yue looked at Lowenstein curiously.

"Because it is lunch time for the undead. If we go in the morning, they will go to bed." Lowenstein looked at Oyue: "Pull up the hat and cover your forehead more tightly."

"Well" Ou Yue obeyed and pulled her hat.

Although he had a piece of cloth tied on his forehead to block it, it was strange to have a piece of cloth on his head for no reason, so it was better to cover it with a hat.

Ouyue was wearing an evening dress. As a native elf, he had never worn such human clothes at home.

Evening dresses were the first to be worn by humans. Later, the elves found that they were a good piece of clothing because both arms were wrapped with strips of cloth and would not be covered by clothes when fighting. It was very comfortable, but the whole fabric was a bit hard.

So they made some modifications based on the human evening dress, such as changing the fabric and slightly changing the style according to the taste of the elves. It became the clothes commonly worn by elves living in big cities.

Lowenstein also found a large gray cloth robe for Oyue. Because he was not as small as him, it looked very big on him. The long sleeves hung down to the knees. The tail of the robe that originally reached the knees even fell to the ground. If it weren't for the bandage around his waist that held the robe in place. Otherwise, it would probably have leaked directly.

After putting on the hat, the long brim directly blocked his eyes. The sudden darkness in front of him startled Ouyue, and he scratched in a panic. Finally Lowenstein helped him lift his hat.

"When you get there, remember not to touch things, especially things they have warned you about." Lowenstein said to Ouyue: "The undead are not like elves. They have one thing and another. Basically I can’t hold anything in my mind. If you have anything you’re curious about, just ask.”

"Yeah." Ouyue nodded.

"Why are you looking around? Are you sure you are listening?" Lowenstein asked a little strangely. From just now, he has been curious about why Ouyue kept turning his head.

"Can I ask a question?" Ou Yue swallowed.

"Okay, tell me." Lowenstein raised his eyebrows, wondering what happened to the child.

"Where is Rovira's house?" Ou Yue asked cautiously.

"Why are you asking this?" Lowenstein was stunned and looked at the child in front of him.

"Because my brother seems to be over there." Ouyue swallowed and whispered.

Lowenstein was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "If you can skillfully use low-level and mid-level magic during our stay in the Undead, and can use a small amount of high-level magic, I will take you to see you. Your brother."

This is impossible, Lowenstein thought to himself.

There are five levels of magic in total, low level, intermediate level, high level, and secondary levels to follow the high level.

The reason for this division is that only elves can learn high-level magic, and it must be chanted in groups, not alone. Vampires among the undead have the same origin as elves, so they can use a small amount of second-level magic.

And humans, as well as some special orcs, and sea spirits. At most, they can only use high-level magic. Even if a bunch of mages chant together, they can only use sub-level magic at most.

As for the dwarves, they are great, because they can't use any magic, but it doesn't matter. They have arcane and enchanted equipment, and muscles with a hardness similar to steel. It is very difficult to hurt them with magic. .

It takes about seventy years for elves to learn advanced levels. Even for elemental elves, it takes nearly twenty years to get a 30% discount. Although this age is still very young for the elves, there is no way they can stay among the undead for so long.

"Really?" Ori's eyes lit up and he looked at Lowenstein blankly.

"Of course, I can still trick you into working hard." Lowenstein squeezed out a smile to make himself look more believable.

The floating ball finally floated to the city wall, the invisibility effect attached to it was lifted, and the white ball opened a gap towards them.

"It's time to go." Lowenstein pulled Ouyue's big sleeve: "If nothing unexpected happens, we can reach the undead before dawn. They usually choose to rest from ten to six in the afternoon. If they don't want to If you wait until six o'clock in front of their door, you have to arrive before ten o'clock."

"Why are they afraid of the sun?" Ouyue asked curiously.

"No, the sun can't hurt them, but the dark element at that time is too thin. They will get tired easily, so they will choose to have a good sleep. Just like you, do you feel very energetic now?" Loewenshi Tan hugged him into the floating ball and then rolled into it.

After hearing his reminder, Ouyue realized that she was in high spirits so far, and even her five senses seemed to be sharper than usual.

"It seems true. Is it because I have a high affinity for dark elements?" Ou Yue asked excitedly.

"Well, we have to adapt to their work and rest time when we get there, but for you, that work and rest time is the most correct." Lowenstein picked up the residence permit placed on the city wall and stuffed it into his pocket, floating it in the air The ball slowly closed after a few seconds.

At night, the scenery of the Forest of All Souls is completely different from when we arrived. The moonlight makes the forest pale, and there are some low-level elves who have not evolved yet. They float in the air like giant fireflies.

Ouyue tightened her robe, huddled in her seat, and said nothing.

He tilted his head and looked at the scenery outside. The faint moonlight shone in his moist eyes. His eyes were so clear and transparent, without any impurities or dirt.

The eyes of elves are originally so clear, but when their originally pure hearts are filled with lies and deceit, they will become dirty.

Lowenstein looked at Ouyue and smiled helplessly.

Such a pure child, I really hope not to get dirty in the big dye vat called society.

Lowenstein took out a package from his robe containing several pieces of fruit. He handed Oyue a piece of dried lychee. This kind of lychee grown in the Forest of All Spirits can grow to the size of a fist. After drying, the sugar content in it is very suitable for food rations.

"Eat it?" He also took a piece for himself.

"Thank you." Ou Yue nodded after taking it.

The main food of elves is fruits and vegetables. Vegetables are usually used to make soups or dishes, and some fruits can be dried and used as dry food.

Because there is very little fat in these foods, you won’t feel hungry until noon after eating them. Therefore, elves do not have a precise eating time. Generally speaking, they eat when they are hungry. Most public places will also have fruit plates, which are basically varieties with a lot of sugar to replenish energy.

"Oh, I forgot to mention it." Lowenstein suddenly remembered something, looked at Oyue and said: "When you get there, you may see some uncomfortable scenes. You may not be used to it at first, so avoid it. Click, and once you get used to it, you’ll feel free to do it.”

"Uncomfortable picture" Ouyue was stunned.

"Well, don't ask me to describe that scene to you. It's a bit disgusting to eat." Lowenstein suddenly felt nauseous, and even the dried lychees seemed to lose their sweetness.

That really can't be said to be something that can be overcome by willpower. As an almost complete vegetarian, the elf is disgusted by the sight of meat.

Aoyue could only shrug her shoulders, look out the window, and silently gnawed on the lychee stems.

Undead? He thought to himself: I really don’t know what kind of thing they are.

They passed through the teleportation circle and arrived at Diak, the closest city from the elves to the undead. When they got there, they found an open fruit shop and bought a few boxes of local specialties. After renting a carriage, we headed north.

This city is a place bordering both the human race and the undead. It is a trade transit station where merchants rest. Because the time when merchants come is uncertain, there are many hotels and shops open all day long.

The place Lowenstein is taking Oyue to is called the Great Tomb of Sadra. It is a city of the undead. The lord is Ennardz Flamelin, a vampire.

Because most of the undead are brainless, and vampires have some elven blood, so although they are still stupid compared to other races, they are already considered intelligent. Therefore almost all vampires manage an area.

The number of vampires is very small, only a few thousand in total. If they are divided into different families, each clan can have a few hundred, which is considered a very big family.

Who knows, with the way and speed of their reproduction, it’s pretty good that there are still thousands of them now.

The black blood crow swept across the sky with his pitch-black wings, passing through the sky like a black shadow.

This kind of crow has blood-red eyes, which are like red gems. The concave and convex eyes reflect the strange forest and the slowly advancing carriage.

It flapped its wings and slowly landed on the ground, pecking at the saprophytic fungi on the tree roots.

Suddenly, a black shadow passed by, leaving only a few feathers with residual blood on the ground.

This forest is named after the darkness, and stepping into it means entering the territory of the undead.

It is next to the territory of the elves, and it is also a forest. The junction is obviously weird. From the sky, it looks like it has been split open by a giant blade. With an invisible line as the border, to the south is a dense forest. To the north, there is a dark forest with only dead branches and leaves.

Ouyue looked at the forest she was about to enter and swallowed. The horse pulling the carriage trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of fear.

"Don't be afraid, they know me." Lowenstein held the slightly trembling Oyue in his arms: "They won't hurt you."

Ouyue did not feel at ease, because after the breeze blew, dead branches and leaves were flying in the air. The leaves with only dry veins were like ghost hands, and they made a strange sound similar to laughter when they passed through the air.

They seemed to have been walking in the forest for a long time, but the surrounding scene remained unchanged. Lowenstein scratched his head in confusion, as if he was lost.

Suddenly, the car shuddered suddenly, as if something had hit it.

Ou Yue stretched out her head and looked at the thing rolling by.

It was a skeleton, and judging from its appearance, it should be human bones.

His face turned pale instantly as the skeleton stretched out its hands and scratched around.

Loewenstein stopped the carriage, signaled Oyue to stay in the carriage, and got out of the carriage.

A skull turned and looked at Lowenstein blankly.

"Hello, elf friend." The skeleton waved, and then struggled to stand up, but failed because his hip bone was broken by the car.

"I'm very sorry, I didn't see it." Lowenstein knelt down and looked at the skull and said.

"Oh, I shouldn't have buried myself in the ground to rest. Can you help me clean it up? I think I need to put on some plaster." The skeleton stood up on the ground and looked at Lowenstein and asked.

"Of course, this is what I should do." Lowenstein put it on the car. Then he went to pick up the remaining leg bones and hip bones on the ground and put them in the car.

"Hello." The skeleton leaned against the barrier in the carriage and greeted Ouyue.

Ouyue swallowed: "Hello."

"It's really rare to see elves come here." The skeleton moved the remaining bones a few times, and two more ribs fell off.

"Are you okay?" Ouyue looked at it, the corners of her mouth twitching a little.

Although it was scary at first, once you get used to it, it actually feels surprisingly cute.

"It's about the first-grade plaster. I'm old and my bones are a little loose." The skeleton said casually: "What are you here for?"

"Go to Ennardez and talk to him about black magic." Lowenstein brought up the remaining bones and patted the dust on his hands: "Do you think you have enough?"

"Oh oh oh, it looks fine." The skeleton picked up his leg bone and looked at it: "Ennardez, I was made of him."

"Then please show me the way. I haven't been here for a while."

"Oh, of course."
