When the job was robbed...

Qiao Ting stood blankly on the river of light inside the mother tree. He looked at the flickering light spots all over the sky in disbelief, but no matter how hard he searched, the gray-green light spot with double shadow was still gone.

——Jolai walked into Qiao Ting's life by a wonderful coincidence, and then disappeared strangely in just one year, just like the accident when they met.

Curling up weakly, Qiao Ting sat on the mother tree Guanghe with her knees hugged, tears slowly falling down.

He didn't know how or why Jolai died. The only thing he could know was that Jolai had a female friend who had a bad personality and lived in Memphis, the capital of the Seaman Empire in the northern highlands.

But all of this is useless to Qiao Ting. As an underage elf, it is impossible for him to leave. Even if he becomes an adult in the future, if his occupation is still a specific occupation such as archer and magician, it is impossible for him to leave the tribe at all. Entering the human world, not to mention avenging Joe Lai.

But... Qiao Ting still felt uncomfortable.

He clenched his fists and told himself that he must go out, even if not for his sister, but only for Qiao Lai.

Coming out of the mother tree, Qiao Ting walked into the Great Elder's yard listlessly. Before he could climb over the fence, he heard a kind voice, "You boy... why did you come out so early this time?"

Turning around, I saw the Great Elder sitting under the tree in the yard, looking at him with a smile, and holding the silver magic armor in his hand.

Qiao Ting was in a low mood at the moment, and he drooped his head without saying a word.

"Boy, come here."

Qiao Ting raised his head, walked over obediently, and sat opposite the Great Elder.

"The mother tree will protect all the little elves who enter. Even if you enter the spot of other elves, no elves will scold you. Did you encounter an exception?"

Qiao Ting shook his head and said lonely, "A big brother who has been in touch with me suddenly ignored me."

The Great Elder chuckled, "You can go find someone else."

Qiao Ting pouted, and said sadly, "No, one good friend is enough."

After all, death is death, he will remember him, and there is no need to rely on new friends to cover up and comfort the sadness.

The Great Elder was taken aback for a moment, and took a closer look at Qiao Ting's expression. After a while, he said in a low voice, "You're right, one... is enough."

He stroked the armor under his hand, and suddenly had the idea of ​​talking about ancient times, "An elf once said this to me."

Qiao Ting looked up at the elder, "Oh?"

The Great Elder smiled as he recalled, "That was when the Elf Queen's Guard was campaigning. The opponent came from the coast of Xisha, where the jungle was low. lost."

That year, in the competition field, the green long-haired elf from Xisha broke the green jade longbow in his hand with a pair of scimitars. Help him repair the longbow, what did he say at the time...

"The longbow has been split like this by you! How can you repair it?!"

"It's definitely possible!" The pair of firm green eyes were so pure, "Weapons are our half body, life and death go hand in hand, as long as you do your best, you can definitely fix it!"

"Hmph, no need, there is time to repair, why not make a new one!!"

"No! I don't agree!!"

"What does my weapon matter to you?!"

"I broke it! I will fix it for you, and you are not allowed to get a new one!"

The Great Elder at that time was anxious, "Why?!"

"Just because I broke your bow! If you get a new one, I will continue to chop!!"

"￥%&*#@..."

——Thinking about it now, that was the beginning of his life's happiness.

"Isn't it inexplicable?" The elder said to Qiao Ting, who opened his mouth wide. "But after getting along for a long time, I realized that he has such a temperament."

He looked at the armor in his hand affectionately, "He started using this armor when he was a minor, and used it until his death, so for me, looking at this armor is like seeing him."

Qiao Ting was silent for a long time before saying, "Some things are enough once in a lifetime."

The Great Elder nodded again and again, "That's the reason."

"Not everyone thinks that way." Qiao Ting thought of the girl who was hanging Jo Lai, "Human beings always want more."

"You know humans." The Great Elder frowned slightly. "Elves rarely know humans. Did you meet elves who know humans in the mother tree?"

Qiao Ting knew she had made a slip of the tongue and wanted to make up a lie, but looking into the clear eyes of the elder, she couldn't speak, so she could only remain silent.

The Great Elder sighed, "You can't make yourself stupid because of other people's stupidity."

Qiao Ting said coldly, "But even if we are wise, who can understand?"

"Do you need others to understand?" the Great Elder said flatly, "The world is too dirty, we can't change it, we can only maintain ourselves."

"Then just watch other people get dirty and degenerate?"

"Child, this is not something you need to consider." The elder stared deeply at Qiao Ting, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "At least, in the tribe, I will not allow this kind of thing to happen."

Then he blinked slyly, "It's like that dwarf Chas, who thinks that he can work less because of the poor quality of gold."

Knowing that the great elder wanted to make him happy, Qiao Ting asked cooperatively, "Then how did you do it?"

The Great Elder smiled and said, "I told him that I heard that a little charmander is about to come of age recently, and that he has not yet found a suitable place to live. location~"

Qiao Ting laughed out loud, "Including the clan land of the dwarves?"

"Oh~ my lovely child, why would I do that? Wouldn't that make the brothers of the dwarves homeless?" The elder shook his head again and again, with a sincere expression on his face, "It's still ten kilometers away from the north of the dwarves. Volcanoes are more suitable for dragons to live~”

——That's the place where the dwarves forge weapons. If you give that place to the dragons as their lair, don't the dwarves who can't make iron go crazy? !

Qiao Ting was overjoyed, he tugged at the elder's beard, "You are really bad!"

"Nonsense! I'm a kind and pure Dawn Elf! How could it be bad!" The elder said solemnly, "Boy, you have to learn well, do you hear me?"

"Yes yes yes~" Qiao Ting nodded again and again, with a little more smile in his eyes.

After chatting with the Great Elder all night, Qiao Ting returned home exhausted the next morning.

As soon as he approached his own yard, he saw Manya who was picking up herbs at the gate of the yard. Looking at the dew on his body, it was obvious that he had stood there all morning.

"You child! Where did you go?!" Manya breathed a sigh of relief, and then glared at Qiao Ting, "I won't come back all night! If the great elder hadn't released the contracted beast to tell me, I would have let Rika Gather all the guards and go out to find it!!"

Qiao Ting was stunned, a little embarrassed, and a little moved in his heart. He smiled and said, "Manya Manya~ You and Rika haven't seen each other for a long time. Didn't I delay you when I was at home?"

Manya's face flushed suddenly, and he grabbed Qiao Ting's ear, "You boy! Where did you learn that?!"

Just at this moment, Rika pushed the door out with an unhappy expression. Qiao Ting rolled his eyes, pointed at Rika and said, "It's Rika, it's Rika!!"

Rika's face darkened immediately, and Manya turned to stare at Rika, "What did you say?"

Rika repeatedly complained, "I went out with the Great Elder for three months, how could it be me?!"

Manya thought about it, and turned her head to continue asking Qiao Ting, but she didn't want Qiao Ting to turn around flexibly, and ran away with flowers, shouting loudly while running, "Manya Manya, what's your name~ I like you voice~"

Manya froze.

"Manya Manya, tighter, tighter, I like your place~"

Rika froze.

"Manya Manya..."

"Shut up!!!!" Manya was furious, remembering that the words he and Rika had heard when he was getting close to Rika, he felt ashamed and angry, he turned around and picked up the wooden barrel in his hand and slammed It hit Rika on the head, "And you! Get the hell out of here!!!"

"Manya! Listen to me!" Rika was hit hard, but she didn't dare to fight back, and she didn't dare to dodge completely, her forehead was all red and swollen for a while.

"I won't listen!" Manya grabbed a handful of tobacco and sprinkled it in front of Rika, and then kicked Rika out of the house when Rika's legs were weak!

"Get out! I don't want to see you!"

Rika, who was eaten by a dog, stretched out her paws to grab the fence gate of her house, her neck stretched out, her head was full of redness and mud, and there were a few scattered leaves on it, so pitiful.

Qiao Ting, who didn't know where he ran to just now, ran back again. He pointed to his cheek, and said to Rika with a smile, "Shy~"

Rika was furious and jumped three feet high, "Where is the kid running!?"

Suddenly, the person who always chased Qiao Ting on weekdays changed from the second elder to Rika. While running, he shot the bow and arrow that had lost the arrow, his eyes were full of anger, "Stop me, boy! Look at me! Teach me a lesson!"

Qiao Ting ran and hid, and yelled loudly, "Rika, you are a bully!"

"It's you who bullied!"

After all, Qiao Ting was young, and he couldn't avoid the bow and arrow that almost had eyes. Even if Rika consciously controlled the strength of the arrow, it still hurt a lot.

Qiao Ting grinned in pain, rolled his eyeballs, and began to cry loudly, "Manya Manya, I'm in so much pain!"

Then he turned a corner and ran straight towards his courtyard, "Manya Manya, Rika bullied me!"

The cry of the little elf was sharp and penetrating. Qiao Ting cried pitifully again. Manya, who originally planned to make Qiao Ting grow a memory, softened after a while. The sound of bows and arrows whizzed outside, Qiao Ting cried loudly one after another, Manya couldn't sit still anymore, got up and walked out of the room.

But he didn't want to see Qiao Ting falling to the ground at the gate of his own fence, and an arrow shaft from behind was shot at Qiao Ting's hand, and Qiao Ting's face was full of horror.

Manya immediately felt distressed. He rushed to Qiao Ting's side, hugged Qiao Ting in his arms, and glared at Rika, "You are too much! How could you do this to a child?!"

Rika is innocent, "I didn't exert any force at all!!"

I know best about my own bow and arrow. He only used two parts of his strength, and the long arrow he shot basically lost all strength when it touched the child. Who would have thought that the child was crying so hard? Could it be that he miscalculated the child's burden? force?

Rika has some headaches. In a few years, she will start teaching her children how to bow. What should I do if I can't dodge and can't stand the pain?

Who knew that just as he turned his gaze to the child, he saw this kid actually making faces behind Manya's back? !

Crack!Rika was furious and broke the long arrow in his hand, but Manya was still scolding him, and his stomach was full of anger, not to mention how uncomfortable it was!

He gritted his teeth secretly, boy, I will teach you how to practice bow tomorrow, just wait for me!

Not far away, the Great Elder looked proud, "Look, this kid has the demeanor of my past!"

The mouth corners of the people around him twitched slightly, "Are you as shameless as you?"

"Hehe, applying shamelessness to races other than elves is a good virtue." The elder said solemnly, "Don't talk nonsense, do you teach it or not?"

"Okay, since I have spirituality, I will try."
