Elf Story from Another World

Chapter 38

They rested for a while in the tavern and soon welcomed the next day's sun.

When the first ray of sunlight shines through the leaves into the town. This city that was still sleeping slowly woke up.

As if to welcome the sunshine, the windows on the tree house opened one after another, and the elves poked their heads out of the windows, as if to confirm whether the sun rising outside was the same. Then after making simple corrections, I will go back to work for a new day.

When Lowenstein came out with Oyue and Nasha, there were already elves coming and going on the street outside.

The number of elves is not large, and the level of prosperity in the Forest of All Spirits is difficult to see in other cities of the elves. Therefore, although the streets are already filled with elves, they will never be crowded.

All the elves are like children who have just grown up, the most beautiful age in their lives. The elves were all wearing workplace uniforms and hurried to work, as if they were afraid of being late.

Lowenstein drove the carriage on a road specially designed for carriages. Birds were singing and flowers were blooming along the way. Even when it gets cold, flowers still show their beauty to the world.

"I will send you to the tailor." Lowenstein said to Oyue and Nasha: "I will take advantage of this time to buy some materials."

Ou Yue was chewing an apple. The sip of wine last night made him still dizzy, and he found it difficult to answer.

Nasha was holding a large bottle full of blood and swallowing it in big mouths. This large bottle of blood was the blood bottle used for replenishment in the past few days.

They turned several turns on the street and finally came to a store built inside a hollowed-out tree.

Ouyue looked up at the tree and the house, and admired softly.

This is a quite big tree called Wuju tree. Its interior is vacuum, but the bark is as hard and thick as metal.

Therefore, Wuju is a natural house. You only need to add a mezzanine inside to get a warm and comfortable room.

But this was the first time he had seen such a big Wuju tree.

After opening the door, it was filled with wooden stands, and a dazzling array of clothes were placed here. They looked neat and tidy. Various designs were displayed on them, with complicated decorations and beautiful decorations. Clothes made of fabric look noble and elegant.

The clerk came up to him and asked Lowenstein: "Sir, what do you need us to do?"

The staff here are almost all female elves, and their smiles as bright as the sun can make people lose their minds just looking at them.

"Make a dress for this little guy." Lowenstein pointed to Nasha next to him.

The clerk glanced at Nasha and said with some surprise: "Are you Nasha? Why didn't you come with your father?"

It seems that Nasha is a regular customer here, and even the store clerk knows her.

"He has something to do." Nasha stepped forward and said to the clerk: "Can I choose a style now?"

"Of course, please come over here." The clerk made an inviting gesture, and Nasha dove into the forest of racks filled with hanging clothes.

"It seems like there's nothing wrong with me." Lowenstein grabbed a handful of gold coins from his purse and said, "Extend your hand."

Ou Yue obediently spread her hands and watched as a large handful of golden metal fell into her hands. The small hands could not hold so many, and a few of them leaked out from between the fingers, falling to the ground with a crisp sound.

"I'm going to buy some materials and I'll be back in about two hours." Lowenstein pointed around: "You walk around, this money is your pocket money, if you find something big that you like, just wait until I come back and buy it for you." you."

Aoyue nodded slightly, stuffed them into his pocket, and picked up a gold coin curiously: "Is this money?"

"Why haven't you seen it before?" Lowenstein chuckled: "Didn't your family let you go outside when you were a child?"

"No, I often go out." Ou Yue tilted her head: "But I have never been to other cities. There is no place to spend money where I was born, so I only know about such things in story books."

Lowenstein shrugged: "It seems you have a lot to learn."

He turned around and waved his hand: "Once again, don't run around."

"I understand." Ouyue nodded obediently.

The elves are a place where you can safely leave your children on the street and go take care of your own business. Because as long as the child doesn't run around, no one will take it away.

Children are a heavily protected group among the elves. This is because they are rare and because the reproduction speed of the elves is too slow, so the proportion of children in the total population is too small.

Children enjoy many privileges here.

For example, children can get discounts when shopping, or they can eat whatever they want in the fruit shop without paying. If you ask passers-by for help, almost no one will refuse to help. If it gets lost, just ask the people around you for help, and as long as the guardian doesn't die in a ditch, you can basically bring it to it.

If a child's family members unfortunately pass away, any local family or institution will be willing to take the child. And there is no such thing as abuse.

Therefore, Lowenstein is not worried about Oyue getting lost at all.

And Ouyue will really stay in place obediently.

"Oh, remember, never look at the elf." Lowenstein suddenly remembered this matter, turned around and said seriously.

More than one person said this to Ou Yue, but it was not until Nasha used a mental spell that Ou Yue knew the meaning of this sentence.

"I will." Ouyue has always been a good boy, so this time he nodded, indicating that he would be good.

"That's good." Lowenstein finally stepped forward with confidence, opened the door and left the place.

Ou Yue looked at Lowenstein's leaving figure, stood there for a moment, and then turned into the hanger forest to look for Nasha.

He is wearing a black robe now. It should be said that the three of them are wearing the same attire this time. After all, robes are easy to wear and comfortable, and they feel much better than dresses.

The clothes hangers are arranged in a natural and orderly manner. No matter what kind of clothes they are, they will be placed together. Men's, women's, or robes, dresses, and even wedding dresses are all mixed together.

When he walked to the back of the forest of clothes, he finally found Nasha.

Nasha chose a long skirt similar to last time and was measuring her waist and arms.

Ouyue saw that there were many people surrounding Nasha, but she couldn't find a place to get close, so she had to find a table to sit down, and lay on the table tapping on the table in boredom.

He yawned and sat on the table with his head propped on his hands, his expression a little tired because of the passage of time.

"Do you want some juice?" Suddenly, a female elf came next to him, bent down, and looked at Ouyue curiously.

Ou Yue subconsciously touched her forehead to make sure that the band on her head was tied and no patterns were leaking out.

"You are?" Ouyue looked at her curiously. This elf was not wearing the standard clothes of a store clerk. He looked like a guy who came here to hang out.

"An elf who stopped by to buy clothes." She smiled: "Can I sit across from you?"

"Oh, you can do whatever you want." Ouyue scratched her head and looked at her warily.

"Two glasses of fresh orange juice, one with some condensed acid, a purified sour seasoning similar to a food additive..." the elf said to the clerk who happened to be passing by.

After the clerk brought the fruit over, she placed one of the cups in front of Ou Yue and sat opposite.

"Thank you" Ouyue said a little embarrassed.

"It's okay. I feel very happy to see such a cute child like you." The elf picked up a book from the side and flipped through it: "Call me Ellie."

"Yes." Ou Yue turned her head away absentmindedly and looked at Nasha over there.

In front of him, several elves held belt rulers in their hands to measure Nasha's size. She sat motionless on the chair, as well-behaved as a porcelain doll.

The reason why I'm so obedient is that once before I didn't measure my clothes properly because they were too skinny, so I couldn't wear the clothes that came later and I had to try them all over again.

"Is that your girlfriend?" Ai Li looked at Ouyue curiously and asked with a smirk.

"No." Ou Yue quickly shook her head.

"Your sister," Aili said, holding her head with her hands and looking at Oyue, "she is quite beautiful."

"She's not my sister either." Ouyue scratched her head helplessly: "She can just be regarded as a friend."

Or it can be regarded as the relationship between diners and dinner. When Ou Yue thought of this, her shoulder felt a dull pain.

"Yeah." Ai Li blinked and looked at him, Ou Yue quickly averted her eyes, for fear of accidentally being hit by a mental spell.

"Do I look like a bad person?" Ellie looked at Ou Yue helplessly and said, "As for taking precautions like this, I will never use mental spells on children no matter what I do."

Ou Yue did not let down her guard because of her words, but nodded slightly and then turned her head away.

"What are you afraid of?" Suddenly, Ai Li asked: "Has anyone ever bullied you?"

"Why did you say that?" Ouyue didn't deny it, just asked softly.

"You were once hit by a mental spell, so you won't look into other people's eyes anymore, right?" Elinor said nonchalantly.

"Why do you say that?" Ouyue was a little confused as to why this big sister who was meeting him for the first time would tell him this.

"Because only those who have been hit by this kind of spell will start to take precautions." Elinor looked at him nonchalantly and said, "Poor child, someone has done something excessive to you at such a young age."

Ouyue was stunned. He had indeed been hit, but it was just Nasha who was playing with him and she used mental spells on him once. It was mainly because Lowenstein reminded him again and again not to look into the elves' eyes that he chose not to raise his head and speak.

But thinking about it carefully, he had told himself this before, but he never paid attention to it. It wasn't until the joke was played on him that he understood the meaning of Lowenstein's warning, so he chose to abide by that seemingly indifferent rule.

"But not everyone should be careful." Ellie smiled at him. The elf's smile is considered to be the most beautiful expression in the world, because there are no words to describe the warmth that that smile brings to people. It was a feeling that even the sun couldn't compare to.

Ouyue swallowed, and looking at her friendly look, her defensiveness gradually became less intense.

Indeed, why should we be wary of such people? She is so friendly to herself, and she is still teaching herself to understand the beauty of this world.

This is how the world should be. Why do we have to guard against each other? There are obviously many good people in this world, but there are so many people who want to harm us.

"Yes, thank you." Ouyue nodded slightly.

"Oh, what are you thanking?" Ai Li looked at Ou Yue's look and chuckled: "This is what it should be."

"Thank you for buying me the juice." Aoyue picked up the orange juice and drank half a cup: "And what you said to me."

"What did I say to you?" Ellie asked a little confused.

"Thank you for telling me that there are still good people who can be trusted in this world." Ouyue said: "There is someone who has been telling me that people in this world are bad, but I don't think so."

"Then are you willing to look up into my eyes?" Ellie asked with a slightly skeptical tone.

Ouyue raised her head and stared into her eyes. At this time, Ouyue was surprised to find that the pupils were actually golden, like light.

"Hey, I finally believe in my sister." Ai Li held her head and looked at him with a smile: "What's wrong?"

"Your eyes are the same as my brother's." Ouyue said, "My brother's eyes are also golden."

"Then you can take a look again." Ai Li opened her eyes wide and looked at Ouyue, her voice becoming softer and softer.

Ouyue suddenly felt a fatigue that didn't know where it came from, sweeping over her body. He turned his head and was surprised to find that he was in a bright sea of ​​light.

The light slowly fell on him, and Ouyue felt like he couldn't even open his eyes with that enchantment-like feeling, so he thought about just falling asleep.

And in the store, Ouyue sat there like a puppet with its strings cut off, her eyes open blankly, and at some point, the same golden color as Ellie's eyes appeared in her pupils that were originally as dark as a pool of water. light.

Ai Li leaned on the chair, looked at him with interest, and then took a sip of her drink.

"What a silly boy." She looked at him with a chuckle: "He trusts strangers so easily. Has no one taught him to be wary of people of unknown origin?"

She hummed softly, and suddenly her pupils shrank slightly, but less than a moment later, she restored her quiet and elegant smile again.

Then Ai Li turned her head slightly and looked at someone behind her who didn't know when a guy in a cloak appeared: "Am I right? The person who taught him is so incompetent that this child can be so stupid, Lowenshi. Tan, what do you think?"
