Journey to the Half-Elf Plane

Seeing Brother Loki devouring his food, little Fatuna was not to be outdone.

The little girl sat next to him and started fighting for food, giggling with joy from time to time.

A warm feeling filled the room.

The delicious hot food gave both of them a good meal.

Little Fatuna covered her bulging belly, lay on the clean and soft bed, and burped happily.

Loki found a clean handkerchief and filled a basin with warm water. After a long time, he finally made the dirty half-elf girl look cleaner.

Little Fatuna felt very comfortable, giggled, and rolled happily on the bed.

Looking at the relaxed little girl, Loki said slowly: "Little Fatuna, let me ask you a few questions."

He also emphasized, “If you really can’t remember some of these questions, don’t force yourself.”

Hearing this, the little half-elf girl nodded quickly to show that she understood.

Loki said: "Besides the common words such as Annunciation Bird Inn and Cask Tavern, what other words did your mother teach you?"

Little Fatuna clapped her fingers, thought about it and said, "I can write my father's and mother's names, and I can also write the words on the signs of hotels and pubs. I'll think about the others."

"Well, there is also a pharmacy store. I have seen these words and learned them..."

Loki asked gently: "Do you still remember where you saw these words, or where you learned them?"

The little girl scratched her head, her eyes became confused, and after thinking for a while she said, "It seems that I saw the pharmacy store in my small town before, so I will write it down."

"Then I asked my mother about these words, and she told me how to write them. She also sold me a candy. That was my first time eating candy. The candy was really sweet."

Loki's gray eyes were a little dark. He took the paper and pen, handed them to little Fatuna and asked her to try writing.

The little girl chewed the end of the pen for a long time until a piece of the quill became bald, and then she crookedly wrote the words "pharmacy store" on the paper.

There are no mistakes in these common language characters.

Loki smiled and patted her head, praising her for her good writing. The little half-elf girl's eyes turned into crescents with joy.

"Do you know how to write Tiantang?" Loki asked again.

Little Fatuna held the pen tightly, thought about it, her eyes lit up, and she wrote two more words crookedly, which was the word "sweet".

"I remember, after eating candy for the first time, I asked my mother to teach me how to write this word, huh."

On the little girl's face, there was an expression of "please praise me", and she seemed to have a sense of accomplishment when she wrote these words.

Loki echoed and praised her several times. Then when he looked at the crooked words on the paper, his eyes became more complicated than ever before.

'Pharmacy Store' Sweet Sugar', there happens to be a 'Sweet Sugar Pharmacy Store' in Silent Town. The owner is a middle-aged half-elf lady, her name is Maria Sweet Sugar.

There are very few places where common words appear in Silent Town, probably only 'Announcement Bird Inn' and 'Barrel Tavern'. These words happen to be familiar to the little girl.

Even the handwriting on the signboard is almost the same as the one on the paper in his hand, as if it was written by little Fatuna.

Loki had indescribably complicated feelings in his heart.

Silent Town, a town made up of half-elves.

Quiet and peaceful, and every resident is a truly good person. Could this fairy tale-like town exist in reality?

It is more like a fairy tale place in a child's mind, imagining

place.

Every resident in Silent Town has memories that are as chaotic as mud, and the town's trainer, Old Barney Longbow, claims to be an experienced adventurer. Not only does he have no experience with weapons, he even has no memory of adventure. , all as wild and exaggerated as a child's imagination.

Nothing in front of me seemed real.

Silent Town, its residents, or rather, these are all fantasies that only exist in a child's mind, a beautiful imagination of a half-elf child.

Loki's throat felt a little dry. Looking at the happy half-elf girl there, he had a ridiculous idea in his mind.

Could it be that I had intruded into the beautiful imagination of a little girl, little Fatuna?What about me? In what form do I exist?

Loki's mind was in a mess, and he thought of a hypothesis from his past life - the brain in a vat.

It can also be called the brain in a bucket, which is a thought experiment in a branch of philosophy.

The main point is that a human brain is in an illusion created by a computer.This illusion is so real that there is no doubt about it.

To the human brain, it seems that people, objects, the sky, everything still exists, and its own movements and body sensations can all be input.

This human brain can also be configured to input or intercept memories. These memories and feelings are all a bunch of codes, and they will not arouse the suspicion of the human brain if they are tampered with at will.

So, 'Brain in a Vat' leaves one final question.

'How can you be sure whether you are really in such an illusion? '

Loki's scalp was numb. He fell into this predicament not long after meeting the evil witch in the cave. Could it be that he was caught by the evil witch and fell into some evil witchcraft that confused his memory and feelings?

Little Fatuna was getting closer to him, now grabbing a lock of Loki's hair.

Her little fingers were twirling around there, as if she could play so happily all day long.

This is such a real feeling, and the little girl beside me has gone from being autistic to being ignorant and happy, even though she has forgotten many things.

But how could such a real little Fatuna be an illusion?

Loki temporarily suppressed his random speculations about the illusion in his heart.

He planned to figure out other problems in Silent Town first, and was not yet completely sure whether there was really no way out of the fog surrounding the town.

And who built that cave, and whether there are any secrets on the other side of the pool.

The half-elf boy didn't think about this, but instead opened the rag bag he had just brought.

It used to be filled with some rags collected by the little girl, but now it is filled with leaves and stems of some strange plants.

Among them, there are also the herbs that Loki took last time to treat the narcotic toxin.

These were all picked by Loki after little Fatuna reminded him on the way back to the town.

Some plants that look like weeds can be found everywhere, but they have medicinal properties.

This little half-elf girl has a certain talent for distinguishing plants and potions.

Weapons such as crossbows were also packed together, and the luggage suddenly became heavy. Seeing that the half-elf girl was also full of energy and happy, Loki naturally would not stay here longer.

Loki and little Fatuna, one big and one small, left the Annunciation Bird Hotel.

They walked around the town again and bought a lot of food and tools.

The most purchased items were rosin torches and some fire starting tools, as well as a large number of ropes.

After spending a lot of money, little Fatuna kept biting her lower lip, and she gently pulled the corner of his clothes from time to time.

The little girl looked like she was helping Loki with the expenses.
