Another Life: Elf Archer

"I wonder what this kid is reading. It seems interesting."

Nian Nian raised his head and met the eyes of the white-haired old man. From those dark brown eyes full of vicissitudes of life, he saw concern and worry.

Now that she had struck up a conversation, Dean Agate no longer controlled his gaze and carefully looked at her from the wounds on her cheeks to her bandaged shoulders and knees.

"Good boy, thank you for your hard work."

Agate sighed deeply, his slightly sad expression unable to hide his kindness.

Nian Nian's nose felt sore and he looked away.

At that time, she pestered Nick and insisted on letting him secretly take her to the Temple Academy to see the world. The old man in the library clearly saw through her and Alexander's poor disguise at the first sight and not only let them come and go. Ziru also helped cover up their tracks many times, sweeping away all kinds of tails for her, a bold little elf at that time, and "forgetting" some fresh fruits in various corners of the library from time to time. Every time she saw her, she would Give her some fructose.

And when Saraswati and Knight John joined them, Agate was even more instructive and didn't mind the weirdness of these people at all.

The library of the Temple Academy was the birthplace of their Christmas Clown mercenary group. In a sense, Dean Agate was the original guide.

Since she re-entered the game world every year, she has been with Nick. Although Alexander, whom she met later, lectured her all day long, he was basically her same age. The high priest of the elves and others were all cold-tempered. A kind and kind grandfather like Agate really gave the children of that time a novel experience.

Even when she regained her memory at this time, due to her special experience during her lifetime, she had never gotten along with her elders in the family. The "Grandpa Agate" who allowed her to laugh and play around in the memory storage became a unique character in her short life. of a flash.

"you know"

Adam looked back at Nian Nian, who was leaning in the recliner, and asked Dean Agate.

"Everyone knows that Archbishop Adam brought back an elf woman. I think her injuries are serious."

Dean Agate coughed slightly, and his rickety back bent a little more.

"Well," Nian Nian spoke first, "The injury is serious enough."

Adam explained: "After all, the power comes from different sources, and she is an elf. No matter how brilliant the Holy Mage of Light is, there is nothing she can do."

Agate nodded and clenched the crutch in his hand: "I heard the Pope said that he would conduct a purification ceremony for her on the day of her birthday banquet and completely bring her under the control of the Holy See."

"Well, the Pope wants to set an example for those pagans who have gone astray, and also to ease the relationship with the elves." Adam had already known about this matter.

"That's good, just bear with it for three more days." Agate seemed to be no longer worried and showed a relieved smile to Nian Nian.

"Well, I'm very patient, and life is not bad now." Nian Nian smiled gently and nodded slightly.

Agate turned his eyes to Adam and said cordially: "The Pope invited me to have lunch together. I'm being cheeky and how about asking you to come with me?"

Upon hearing this suggestion, Adam turned back again and found that Nian Nian had no response. Then he looked at Agate and replied:

"I won't go. It's inconvenient for her."

"In the next three days, royal families and other guests from various principalities will arrive. You have to meet them. You will also need to accompany the Pope to receive guests and coordinate with the arrangements for the banquet. I'm afraid there will be many inconveniences."

Adam lowered his eyes, knowing that Agate was telling the truth.

With his status here, many things cannot be avoided, and he is still under observation in the eyes of the Pope every year, so it is impossible for her to accompany him to meet various distinguished guests.

"If you can cure my injury, I wouldn't mind staying with you." Nian Nian said in a cool tone.

"I will arrange for someone to take you back to my mansion. You will be wronged in these three days." Archbishop Adam decided immediately.

His mansion is a private residence, unlike the papal hall where many people come and go, and no guests will intrude recklessly.

He curled his lips every year.This is to put her under complete house arrest.

"You don't have to be like this, you can't stop it."

Adam was silent for a while and then said: "If you don't try, you will always be uncertain."

Nian Nian's tone became softer: "I am the target, and I am also aware. You need to carefully calculate the pros and cons."

Adam looked down at his twisted hands: "I've forgotten it."

Nian Nian opened his mouth, but finally chose to continue reading with his head down and not speak again.

......

Dean Agate invited Adam away as he wished, and Nian Nian stayed alone in the room, moved his body, turned his head and looked out the window.

Nian Nian is a little confused now.

She used her body as a shield to draw the attention of Albert and Simil to herself. On the one hand, it was convenient for Adam to cause trouble, and on the other hand, she wanted to protect Adam as a "person".

Adam is different from her. His memory, identity, and meaning of existence are all in the hands of his creator. Once disaster breaks out, he will definitely be liquidated. At least, his personality will be formatted and restarted, or at worst, it will be completely destroyed.

After knowing each other for so long, Nian Nian still doesn’t want to lose this special friend.

The way she threatened Albert at that time was also to specifically guide Albert to use inertial thinking to understand the relationship between her and Adam. Since she could cross the barriers of the game world and enter the laboratory's internal database to dig out the details of the NPC, then she would The personality data of the members of the Beita Presbyterian Church were integrated into Adam's personality. Even if Adam was given wrong instructions, Adam would certainly not be able to refuse them.

In short, Adam was the poor little guy who was taken advantage of by her and had no power to fight back. Going to his territory was just to cover up the real purpose, such as looking for the Elf leader Yun Yun.

Therefore, as long as Adam acted according to their original plan, he would have the confidence to take care of everything on his own and never involve anyone else.

But Adam took the initiative to save her, and kept her close to him, and then spread rumors to make people misunderstand their relationship. It is difficult for people to suspect that this is just a cover-up...

Is this guy going to have problems caused by his own operations?

Couldn't he come out? Even if he succeeded in attracting Albert's attention, Albert would not be able to let her go.

Sooner or later, the target like him will be smashed by aiming. Even if Adam volunteers to be a shield, he will end up with the fate of being shot through with the target. Why go out of his way to give this person his head?

"You're thinking of me."

When Adam pushed the door open and came in, he saw this rare confused expression in Nian Nian.

"Why are you back?" Niannian pretended not to hear what he said before.

"Arrange your lunch, I don't worry about leaving you alone." Adam stepped into the door and saw a group of maids behind him holding delicious dishes.

"Well, is there anything else?" Nian Nian didn't want to look at him and tilted her head to study the ceiling.

Adam staggered around and let the maid come in to arrange lunch. He also ordered the guards to guard the door. No one was allowed to enter the room except him.

After everything was arranged, Adam walked to Nian Nian and looked down at her.

His field of vision was suddenly occupied by this person, and Nian Nian looked away slightly dissatisfied.

"I did the math, and I was right."

Adam said to himself, looking at him every year, he felt that his smile at this time was very natural and beautiful, and it separated his face that looked very similar to Simil from Simil himself.

"From Luxi to now, you are the only human being who regards me as a human being and has plans for me. Therefore, I also have to choose a human being who is irrational, inconsistent with pros and cons, and even illogical. behavior to respond to you."

"In my cognition and memory, robots and artificial intelligence often die to protect humans. However, I did not make this choice to protect you. I just want to experience a meaningless and benefitless self-destruction."

"Once, self-destruction on the same road as you."
