Did the lord get rid of poverty and become rich today?

For elves with a sweet tooth, it is obvious that the "bribe" given by Joe Yi can completely suppress the shame caused by being teased.

And judging from the change in Lancaster's eyes that quickly became very happy after taking a bite of the donut, it was obvious that he was very satisfied with Qiao Yi's donut.

No one can resist the lure of dopamine, and neither can elves.

"Aren't you asking me to come in and sit down?"

Qiao looked at the narrow path gradually disappearing in the depths of the forest, and was a little curious about the elves' residence.

As for the residence of the elves, the first impression that popped into Qiao Yi's mind was actually the scene of a certain flower fairy game in a certain 399 game.

——Although Qiao Yi didn't know why the depth of this strange brain supplement was higher than the grand and exquisite elf temple in "The Hobbit".

...feels a bit broken.

However, with the character of the elves, who have always been the flowers of the high mountains, and their habit of prohibiting humans from entering the territory without authorization, Qiao Yi is ready to be rejected.

He was just curious.

Lancaster ate a donut, put away the bag, and looked at Qiao Yi.

Qiao Yi looked into the quiet eyes of the other party: "...emmm, I'm joking. If you don't go in, you don't go in, hahahahaha——"

"can."

Lancaster said suddenly.

"? What?" Joe blinked, apparently Lancaster's answer just now was beyond his expectation.

"You can go in." Lancaster tilted his head slightly: "Aren't you curious?"

Qiao Yi: "Actually, there is no..."

However, looking at Lancaster's clear eyes that seemed to see through everything, Joe choked for a moment: "...well. You are right."

"Come on then. Don't run around, follow me closely."

Lancaster turned around, but the corner of his mouth curled up in a pleasant arc from an angle that Joe couldn't see.

To be honest, at such a time when the sky was about to get dark, it was a little weird to go into a deep and dark grove alone with another person.

Especially as soon as Joe found the path it got narrower and darker.

The densely overlapping tree canopies obscured the already dim sunset light, and the common low shrubs and grass beside the road were gradually replaced by jagged thorny thorns.

The night owl's voice echoed in the empty space, and there were still soft rustling sounds in the vague darkness all around.

Qiao Yi: ...I always feel that this style of painting is not quite right.

It would be a lie to say no.

Qiao Yi could only get as close to Lancaster in front as possible.

It seemed that only the familiar fragrance of plants and trees on this guy could bring him a sense of security.

——After all, the cloak was still hanging by Qiao Yi's bedside.

In other words, every night it was the residual smell on the cloak that accompanied Joe to sleep.

飒

Suddenly, there was a soft sound in the narrowing darkness ahead.

"Crack-"

The sound of dead branches breaking under their feet was particularly abrupt.

Suddenly there was the sound of flapping wings overhead.

Qiao Yi raised his head stiffly, dumbfounded.

Lots of red eyes.

Big, round red eyes.

The chilly Joe subconsciously leaned his arms against Lancaster's side, using his poor night vision ability to carefully identify the black shadows.

Lancaster: "It's the bat."

Joe One: "..."

Joe One: "!...qaq"

go away

"They eat fruit, not carnivores."

"..." Joe looked at the fierce-looking bat with two huge red bulb eyes blinking above his head, and then turned his eyes to Lancaster's sincere eyes: "I always feel that you are lying to me."

Look at their eyes, they are big and red,

Look at their teeth again, they are white and sharp...

Now you tell me this thing is vegetarian?

Then why are they so fierce?

Frighten the disobedient fruit?

"Okay. They have a bad temper. If you wake them up to sleep, you might get bitten." Lancaster looked at the bat hanging above and spread his hands.

This is why the elves do not allow humans to enter here without authorization.

Qiao Yi: Okay, why don't you wake up angry with a group of hardcore?

As soon as Joe looked at the red eyes of the bats, he leaned towards Lancaster again: "Do elves bite too?"

"No." Lancaster replied.

Joe One: "..."

Engage in racism? ? ?

For the sake of his life, Qiao Yi resolutely gave up his dignity, grabbed Lancaster's hand, and said that he was with the elves, and hoped that these discriminatory bats would not attack him.

Dignity is precious, but face is more expensive. If it is for life, both can be thrown away.

Is it bad to live?

However, he apparently forgot to ask the person concerned for their opinion.

Lancaster, who was caught off guard and forced to hold hands, was lowering his eyes at this moment, and his eyes wandered around the hands that were clasped together with Qiao Yi.

—though it was only Joe holding his hand unilaterally like a rolling pin.

In a sense, the Daredevil Lord Joe was the first and only creature, elf included, to ever hold Lancaster's hand.

But I have to say, this feeling is... a bit strange.

But not bad.

"...Let's go, we're almost there."

Lancaster did not break free from Qiao Yi's hand, but naturally held Qiao Yi back, pulling him forward.

After passing through this dark forest overgrown with thorns, a magnificent stone gate can be seen standing in an open area with green grass in the distance.

The stone gate is engraved with dense runes, emitting a faint light in the deep twilight.

The temperature here seems to be much higher than outside. At this time, there are already fireflies rising and falling in the grass full of small bright yellow flowers.

It was quiet and quiet, but the sound of insects made the somewhat cold atmosphere here instantly become lively.

Walking through the stone gate, the valley unfolds in front of Joe's eyes:

...It looks like a very ordinary village.

It’s so common that if you take photos here and mix them into a collection of common villages in mainland China, you won’t find any sense of disobedience.

There are no giant trees and wooden houses dotted on the trees, and there are no magnificent and exquisite huge palaces.

If there is anything special about it, it is probably the huge ancient tree that towers over the sky and blocks out the sun in the center of the settlement.

It wasn't until he stepped on the bluestone floor of the village that Qiao Yi recovered from the huge gap between ideal and reality.

"……you……"

As soon as Joe looked at Lancaster, he hesitated to speak.

"?" Lancaster turned his head to look at Qiao Yi.

"You don't live in the palace..."

"It's not convenient, and it's unnecessary." Lancaster paused: "It won't be built yet."

Qiao Yi: ... so sincere.

In this world, architectural attainments are only for humans and dwarves who have disappeared for many years.

As for the elves...

In this world that lacks excavators produced by Lanxiang, and where magic is so low that there is almost no magic, do you expect these delicate, beautiful and slender elves to carry huge boulders?

"Then, I don't live in a tree house." Qiao's brain froze, and another sentence popped up.

Lancaster: "...?"

That’s all for a palace, but what is a tree house?

If you live for a long time, will there be no tide or water leakage in rainy days?Isn't it cold in winter when it snows?And bugs are annoying too.

Joe One: "..."

Yes.

Young, old, cold legs, old rheumatism scheduled.

……

White Creek Valley at night doesn't look any different from Stormwind Collar.

The lights that can be seen everywhere, the children chasing and playing, and twisting the ears of disobedient children, reprimanding the mother who dragged home over and over again...

Lancaster brought a human back to the territory.

This matter quickly attracted attention.

Although there was no hostility but pure surprise and curiosity, Qiao Yi still couldn't adapt to being watched like this.

...Suddenly understood the feeling of Lancaster going to the territory and being watched all the way.

It's just that Lancaster's status seems to be higher than Qiao Yi imagined.

The elves passing by, no matter who they were, the first thing they did after they were shocked was put their hands on their chests and bowed their heads to Lancaster.

Lancaster, on the other hand, would sometimes nod his head slightly, and most of the time, he wouldn't even give him a look.

It looks like the flower of Gaoling will be carried out to the end.

"Want to go up and have a look?"

Lancaster's eyes fell on the big tree that stood like a god under the night sky overlooking the entire valley.

Qiao Yi: "I don't want to."

I am afraid of heights.

"Rejection is invalid."

Joe One: "????"

What's the matter with you elf?Not like this

"...I just remembered, I haven't fed Xiaofei today." Qiao Yi smiled sarcastically, rubbing his feet outward: "Then what, I'll go back first... Hey, hey!"

A vine jumped out from nowhere, wrapping around Qiao Yi's waist.

"Don't let go."

Lancaster's voice came from next to his ear, and his feet were instantly empty.

Joe closed his eyes in a panic, and subconsciously hugged Lancaster tightly.

The wind suddenly sounded in his ears, and his breath was filled with the smell of Lancaster.

Joe just felt like a century had passed, so long that he felt his face and ears began to heat up to the point of smoking, and there was a silly rabbit in his chest hopping happily countless times.

"Okay, open your eyes."

Joe finally felt down-to-earth under his feet, and Joe didn't notice Lancaster's slightly smiling voice.

He picked up Lancaster's clothes, opened his eyes tremblingly, and looked at his feet.

At the foot, there are suspended wooden stairs.

Between the gaps in the stairs, the figures below have become very small, and even the houses seem to be no more than a square inch.

Joe felt dizzy in front of his eyes, and closed his eyes again with an "Aww", and his whole body was hung on Lancaster: "You lied to me!

"I didn't, don't look at your feet."

"I do not watch!

"It's safe here."

"I do not!

"..."

After a moment of stalemate, as if there was nothing to do with him, Joe heard the elf sigh.

Then, he felt himself being hugged horizontally!

I￥%%#&...[email protected]#...I don't want it!

Qiao Yi blushed and struggled to open his eyes, but froze in place for a moment.

A small but exquisite wooden house, with a small wooden platform in front of the house, sticking out of the dense canopy of trees.

There are many flowers on the platform, the entire guardrail is embraced by crowded roses, and wisteria and green radish hang down from the roof.

A rattan basket placed in the corner of the platform was filled with attractive red fruits.

The silvery white moonlight spilled through the shadows of the trees, leaving swaying spots of light on the wooden floor.

Outside the platform, there is a clear night sky and brilliant stars that are almost within reach.

Here is one,

Eden hidden under the canopy of trees.

The position where they were standing at this time was a hanging ladder leading to the platform, with waist-length guardrails, also surrounded by flowers.

At this time, Lancaster was holding Qiao Yi and climbing up the stairs.

Qiao Yi hooked Lancaster's shoulder with one hand to prevent himself from falling, and covered his eyes with the other arm, his ears were red and bleeding: "Put...let me down!"

This pose... ah ah ah I refuse!

"You didn't want to go down just now."

"Lan! Ka! Stu! Te!

"All right."

Lancaster finally decided to let go of Qiao Yi, whose head was so red that it was almost smoking, and let him down, unable to hide the smile in his eyes and the corners of his mouth.

If Lancaster is usually a clear but cold ice spring, which makes people feel blasphemy at a glance, then at this time he is the bright moon and breeze in the mountains, and when he looks back, he is a pot of immortals Brewing, one glance and feel drunk.

Qiao Yi's eyes fell on Lancaster's face, and he was a little bit puzzled for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Lancaster tilted his head slightly, and with the most serious and innocent expression and tone, he said the words that made Joe's head explode again: "Didn't you hug enough?"

Joe One: "..."

"I do not have!

Why is this elf so annoying!

...But, he smells really good.It feels good to hold...

#%%&...#...￥! #...& Bah, promising!

But here, Lancaster had already turned around and entered the room, and came out with two cushions, a bottle and a pair of glass wine glasses in his hands.

Qiao Yi: I'm so poor, I'm so sour, I don't even have a silver cup.

"Want to try it?"

Lancaster put down the cushion, patted the empty cushion beside him to signal Joe to sit down, and raised the glass bottle in his hand: "This year sacrifices the remaining wine."
