The correct way to use sprites

Grave Erton told me all about the types and fighting methods of elves, the classification and habits of animals in the fantasy world, and which plants are edible or medicinal. This will be a lot easier on my future journeys.

"Amazing memory. I only said it once and I remembered it completely. I never thought you were actually a human."

"Because the information is very important, I just jotted it down a little bit. It's nothing special."

I looked at my watch and found that three hours had passed before I knew it. It was almost time to go back. Sure enough, this time was still not enough. I really wanted to stay in the Elf Fantasy Land. The earliest generations of players probably had the same idea. ?

"It's getting late, so I'll go back first, and Mengmeng will be taken care of by you for the time being."

"Okay, don't worry, we will definitely take good care of Miss Mengmeng."

Since Gray Fulton said so, then he will do it, and I also realized it from the process of talking with him.

"Well, I'm waiting for the results tomorrow."

"I hope I can give you a satisfactory answer."

I nodded and walked out the door. As soon as I reached the door, something very important made me stop.

"Anything else?"

"I forgot to ask Mengmeng to set the return point..."

I frowned. If we went to the return point, it would still be at least two hours away, and it was getting dark soon. Walking in the forest might be dangerous.

Grave Erton touched his chin thoughtfully, as if he knew something, but can wild elves also set return points?

"Mr. Lin Yue, please come with me. The gate to the world in the forest area is in the village."

"Gate to the World? It seems like there is new information."

"Mr. Lin Yue doesn't seem to know about the World Gate. I'll tell you slowly on the way!"

----

Originally, the Elf Fantasy Land and the human world were connected by ten gates. These ten gates were distributed in ten areas of the Elf Fantasy Land, including forests, canyons, oceans, plains, snowy mountains, volcanoes, deserts, cities, swamps and the sky, so they were also called worlds. door.

Elves can freely pass through the gate of the world to and from the present world, but on the human side, only qualified humans can pass through, and these people are also the earliest players.

Later, due to various reasons, seven of the ten world gates were unavailable, leaving only three gates, one in the ocean area, one in the sky area, and one in the forest area.

"Hey~ I'm more curious about the reasons."

"Unfortunately, I don't know the details. I only know that the seven gates are unusable."

We came to a tree. This tree didn't look special. It looked ordinary like other trees.

"Mr. Lin Yue, please put your hand on the tree and try it."

I followed Grave Erton's words and put my hand on the tree. A few seconds later, an entrance to another dimension appeared in the center of the tree. It seemed that this was the door to the world. It was really surprising.

Just as I was about to go in, a question suddenly appeared in my mind, which stopped me again.

"Although it's a little late to ask now, where does this door lead to the human world?"

"I don't know, but it should be in a forest in the human world."

"Then why should I go in? Alas..."

I held my forehead and sighed helplessly. It seemed that I had to go to Mengmeng to set the return point first.

As if he saw what I was thinking, Gray Fulton stretched out his hand to block my way. He squinted his eyes and said with a smile:

"Mr. Lin Yue, I'm sorry, no one is allowed to disturb me during practice."

"Oh? I've never heard of such a thing."

Something feels wrong. What is Grave Erton's purpose? Only now did I have the feeling that everything was being pulled by him.

Although I wanted to make Mengmeng stronger, it’s up to me, but just tell me the method. Is it necessary to take Mengmeng away? What's the reason for isolating me?

But at least the other party won't harm me. If they wanted to do that, they would have done it long ago. Why bother telling me so many things, so I don't have to worry about anything.

"You don't look flustered."

"Is this something worth panicking about?"

"I can't believe you're human."

"Even if I hate humans, I will never look down on them."

"This is really rude."

Although Grave Erton said this, he couldn't feel his apology at all. This guy really looked down on human beings.

I waved my hand, indicating that there was no need to continue this meaningless conversation and went directly to the topic.

"Then let me tell you straight, there is another way for you to return to the living world, which is to sign a contract with an elf, so that the elf can set a return point."

"I see, is this your purpose?"

"Haha, please don't say it so harshly. It's not a bad thing for you. We just get what we need."

Grave Erton is right. Elves are indispensable to players. The more elves they have, the stronger their combat power is. For me now, I need new partners.

"I understand, let me meet the elf."

"You are really smart."

Through the woods, we were far away from the village. The place we walked became more and more remote, and our destination seemed to be right in front of us.

In a relatively open place, a wooden house was placed there. The wooden house was very small, about the size of a room.

It looks like it was built by humans. The house looks very dilapidated. It must have been built for a long time. The weeds around it are growing wantonly and it looks desolate.

Grave Erton didn't say anything, he just walked towards the cabin, and I had no choice but to follow.

"Zi-"

The old wooden door groaned in pain. The moment it was opened, a large amount of musty smell and cold air came out, and a few rays of light shone through the holes in the roof, illuminating the dark room.

There was a small figure inside the room. The figure noticed that someone had come in and moved slightly. The sound of the chains rubbing against the floor reached my ears.

"uncle?"

"Long time no see, Yukine."

A childish voice came from there, and I slowly got closer to see the true face of that figure.

It was a little girl who looked to be only in her teens. Her long silver hair was dragging on the ground. The little girl's limbs were covered with thick coverings.

He was shackled with iron chains and was wearing a piece of rag that couldn't even be called clothes. Under this rag was a very thin body.

"How dare you do this to such a young child."

"Don't get me wrong, we did this out of helplessness."

Grave Erton's face no longer had the original frivolous smile, but was replaced by a sense of heaviness.

"Xueyin...is not from this village. She is an abandoned baby picked up by the previous generation of village chiefs and raised by the previous generation of village chiefs."

"What does this have to do with her being locked up here?"

"Half the people in the village were killed by Yukine...no, it should be said to be another Yukine."

It's her, but it's not her, that is to say...

"Dual personality?"

"It can be understood this way, but the thing inside Xueyin's body is not like a second personality, but something more evil, and we have no way to deal with this thing, so we locked Xueyin here, this The chains seal her power."

"Where's Sylphiel? Have you never thought of asking her for help?"

In response to my question, Gray Ford smiled bitterly.

"Ordinary elves like us usually can't see the princess."

My thoughts have become clearer. Gray Fuerton can't bear to see Yukine suffering here, so he wants me to take Yukine out of here. If I have one more person, I can take care of her. Plus, I have to go see Sylphyr. , maybe bringing Xueyin can cure her.

This is a deal, and Yukine is the bargaining chip. If I sign a contract with Yukine, Gray Fulton will definitely let me pass, but my life is in danger at any time before I see Sylphyr. If I had refused, I probably wouldn't have been allowed to pass.

I looked at Xueyin. She had been listening to our conversation from beginning to end. Although she might not understand the content of our conversation, she should also understand that I was the only one who could take her away.

"Brother, it's okay. It's fine if Xueyin is here. You won't hurt anyone here."

Xueyin looked at me with pale white eyes, and there was no dirt in her innocent eyes. How could I believe that she would become a murderer? But... wouldn't it be nice to just let it go? Anyway, I have always been here, trying to believe in the possibilities I have.

I walked up to Xueyin and squatted down. This lovable child backed away with concern. She was not afraid of me, but afraid of hurting me.

"Hello, sister Xueyin, my name is Lin Yue."

"Lin Yue...brother?"

"Well, I...want to take little sister Xueyin to see the outside world. There are many interesting things outside, including the scenery of ten areas. After visiting all the elves' fantasy lands, there is also the human world. By the way, There is also an elf named Mengmeng who is also with us. Although she is not here now, let’s pick her up later! Then let’s go see this world together.”

I'm not good at showing my feelings, I don't know how to treat others gently, even so I try my best to be gentle.

"Is it okay...Xueyin will sometimes...become someone other than Xueyin and become very scary? Is that okay?"

Xueyin's tears fell from her cheeks, and she leaned over to hold my hand. Her cold little hand was smooth and comfortable to hold.

"It doesn't matter, I will definitely make Yukine wake up by then, so sign a contract with me."

"Well, I...I would like to..."

I pulled Xueyin into my arms. Her small body was very soft, as if it were made of water. I lifted Xueyin's face and kissed her gently. The cold lips seemed to be kissed on ice cubes, but they were softer, like jelly.

"Crack-"

The shackles on Xueyin's body were opened, the surrounding air was a little restless, and Xueyin's body was also shaking a little. I hugged Xueyin tightly, put my hand on her head, stroked her gently, and pressed my lips closely, hoping that she could calm down.

A strange force entered my body, and it felt a little uncoordinated, as if it had been blended into something else. This was probably the evil thing that Grayford Erton said, but this thing seemed to be suppressed by the contract.

"It's incredible, that power has been diminished."

Grave Erton looked at me in surprise. I left Xueyin's lips and relaxed a little. There was a trace of blood on my lips. This was from Xueyin's bite just now, but it didn't matter anymore.

"I'm so sorry! I actually..."

"It doesn't matter anymore! It doesn't matter anymore..."

Now... I can finally go back to sleep. To be honest, I am very sleepy and my body feels very tired. I just want to lie in bed and take a good nap.

"Xueyin, try to make a return point."

I recalled Mengmeng's usual appearance and told Xueyin what Mengmeng did in my memory. It took Mengmeng ten minutes to make the return point, but Xueyin only took one minute to make it. It probably took ten minutes to make the return point. Qualified.

Before entering the return point, I looked back at Gray Fulton. He looked relieved and watched us leave with a smile.

"Do not forget our agreement."

"No problem, Mr. Lin Yue."

Yukine seemed to have something to say, seeking my consent with her eyes.

"It's true...I'm not an unreasonable person, just say what you want to say!"

"Thank you! Brother!"

After Yukine answered happily, she turned to Gray Fulton and lowered her head.

"Thank you very much for taking care of me these days. I will be very happy with my brother now, so you don't have to worry about me anymore. Thank you."

"Oh~ I really feel like my daughter is getting married."

What nonsense are you talking about as a grandpa?

I entered the regression point, finally felt at ease looking at my room, and fell on the bed. I was already very tired today so I didn’t want to take a shower.

"Is this my brother's home?"

Xueyin, who came in later, looked around. Everything was unfamiliar, so he was probably curious! He's really a kid...but he's actually older than me, right? After all, elves are different from humans.

I glanced at my phone and saw the number 5:40 written on it. Is it already this time? Why don't you sleep at school... But what to do with Yukine? You can't just leave it alone...

My consciousness is blurred...

Forget it, stop thinking...

sleep…

"Xueyin, don't call me even if it's the end of the world."

"Is brother asleep? Then I also..."

It was only later that I found Yukine naked and lying on the bed with me...
