Elf Story from Another World

Chapter 19

The footsteps in the distance stopped, because he had already walked in front of him.

He bent down and picked up the ball peen hammer.

The huge hammer head slowly lifted up and was easily carried on the shoulder.

This is a skeleton, a skeleton covered in heavy armor. He held a hammer in one hand and a shield in the other.

He slowly opened his mouth and blew out a burst of white smoke. Blue flames burned in his eye sockets.

Ouyue has good perception ability in dark environments, so she can detect it in time, otherwise taking it will be enough to kill them.

The skeleton raised the hammer in his hand and took two steps forward, as if he was disappointed that he failed to hit something just now, so he wanted to make up for it now.

When Nasha fell down just now, the hand holding the sword accidentally let go, and the only thing that could save their lives left them.

Ouyue looked at the hammer, closed her eyes subconsciously, and subconsciously covered Nasha's eyes with both hands.

The hammer suddenly stopped in mid-air, as if time was suddenly locked.

He looked at the child in front of him and seemed stunned for a moment.

"You" he looked at them in a daze, as if thinking about something: "Aren't you human?"

His movements suddenly stopped: "I didn't look carefully just now. Can you tell me your race?"

Both elves and vampires have pointed ears, so when he saw the pair that clearly showed the characteristics of their race, he immediately reacted.

The two little guys shook their heads at the same time, they were indeed not.

"I am an elf, and this is a vampire." Ouyue quickly told it her and Nasha's identities.

If he could talk, he should be a member of the undead. Maybe he would look at the race and spare his life. Ou Yue was muttering in her heart when Nasha suddenly spoke:

"Do you have any intelligence?" She seemed to be asking the skeleton.

"Well, I'm a living corpse." The skeleton looked at her and tapped his chin with his hand: "Why do you feel so familiar to you? Do you know Ennardez Flamelin?"

"That's my dad, why do you know my dad?" Nasha looked at it and blinked: "Your producer gave you relevant memories."

"Well, I do have this guy in my memory after I was created." The skeleton tilted his head and looked at them: "I thought it was a few more desperate guys from the human race who came to die again."

It slowly lowered its hand that was holding the hammer, which made the little guys feel a little relieved.

"Then what you mean is that you won't hurt us." Ouyue sighed, thinking that this time he made the right bet, otherwise he would have really died.

After thinking for a moment, the skeleton stepped back and stood up straight: "What are you doing here? This is not the place you should come."

"It sounds like we want to come here." Ouyue looked at him and said, "Is there a way to leave from here?"

"Sorry, my producer just told me to protect this place." The skeleton bent down, put down what he was holding, and stretched out a hand to Nasha: "I'm very sorry, I just habitually The hammer was thrown.",

"Oh, it's nothing." Nasha was pulled up by him, and Ouyue also got up. The original clothes had been soaked in black mud and were full of dirt.

"Are you from the Flamelin family?" The skeleton saw a red ribbon tied on her left shoulder: "Can I take a look?"

"Don't break it for me." Nasha handed over the red ribbon on her left shoulder.

When this belt is unfolded flat, there is a piece of cloth embroidered with the family crest, which is proof of one's identity.

"With this, there is basically no mistake." The skeleton stretched and sat on the roadside: "Since you are not human beings, then I have no reason to trouble you anymore."

It yawned and sat by the wall: "It's really strange that I can see vampires and elves here."

"Have no elves or other members of the undead arrived before?" Ou Yue asked curiously.

Now that their fear of this guy has disappeared, since he is a guy who is not hostile to them, it is not worth worrying for a few more seconds.

"No, the only visitors here are the human adventurers." The skeleton looked curious about these two little guys and took a closer look at them.

"What's inside?" Ouyue asked curiously.

"I don't know either." The skeleton shrugged: "The only thing I am responsible for is patrolling this corridor and killing humans or orcs who dare to invade."

"What about other races?" Nasha looked at it curiously.

"I can't beat the dwarves. The elves and the undead are friends, so I just need to avoid it." It seemed that the skeleton had no intention of dying. It yawned: "Are you still planning to go inside?"

"We want to see what's inside." Nasha asked, "Can you lend me your hammer? I'm afraid there's something dangerous inside."

The skeleton was stunned. He looked at the ball-peen hammer in his hand and scratched his head: "Going inside, there is a corner. That is where I usually rest. There are several spare weapons in there. I will return this one." It needs to be used, so I can’t give it to you.”

"Then do you have blood or something like that?" Nasha asked, "I need to replenish some blood now."

"There seem to be two bottles of blood. I can't remember clearly. You can look through the cabinet." The skeleton thought for a while and said, "I remember I reserved some specially for entertaining vampire guests, but I put it away because I hadn't been here for a long time. .”

"Thank you so much." Nasha grabbed Ou Yue and said, "Let's go."

Ouyue wanted to ask more questions, but because she was not strong enough, she was dragged away by Nasha.

Further forward, corpses are rarely seen. It seems that this skeleton is very powerful, and it didn't even let anyone come over.

The gatekeepers are like this, they must be so crazy inside.

"Let's go back. If we go further in, we might not be able to go back." Ou Yue has not given up the idea of ​​persuading Nasha: "It is more reliable to just wait for your father to come."

"Then at least we get what the skeleton said." Nasha said to him: "At least you have to wait for me to replenish some blood."

"Okay, let's rest there for a while and then come back." Ouyue breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had persuaded this guy.

"We'll discuss it again," Nasha said without looking back.

It becomes cleaner and cleaner as you go inside, with less and less black mud on the ground, leaking out onto the marble floor.

Suddenly, a huge door stood in front of them.

"Locked." Nasha tried to push, but failed and could only shrug.

"Where is the corner he mentioned?" Ou Yue curiously looked at both sides, which were both rock walls: "We couldn't have seen it on the road, right?"

"Probably not." Nasha walked to the rock wall on the left and pushed hard.

The rock wall actually sank in, leaving a gap big enough for one person to pass through.

Blue light seeped out from the gap. It seemed that there was lighting equipment inside, and it looked like a place to rest and live.

There was a bed, a table with a large piece of fluorescent stone, several boxes, and shelves stacked with bottles and cans.

There is also a large bucket next to the shelf, which is full of hard powdery substance. It is probably bone meal used to repair the body.

"How did you see it?" Ouyue couldn't help but be a little curious: "The two walls are obviously exactly the same."

"I smell blood in here." After Nasha went in, she didn't even look for it. She bent down and opened a box, took out a red wine bottle from it, and licked her lips.

She didn't bother to find a screwdriver, so she just stabbed it in with a small knife nearby. After prying the cork open, the rich smell of blood immediately poured out. Nasha put it to her mouth, and drank half the bottle with a few gurgles.

"Woohoo, I'm saved." Nasha patted her belly with satisfaction and burped.

"It seems that I don't need to contribute any more blood for the time being." Ouyue looked at Nasha who had eaten enough, feeling inexplicably feeling a sense of security. Then he lay down on the bed. Although it was a stone bed, it was still a good place to rest.

"Didn't I just drink your blood once? Am I so stingy?" Nasha made a face at him, and then started to pack her things.

There was half of the bottle left, so Nasha stuffed it into a cloth bag next to her.

She continued to search and found three more bottles in total, and simply put them all into the bag. There are four glass bottles stuffed in this cloth bag, which can't help but seem to have a lot of weight.

"Look, what I found." Nasha waved the thing in her hand towards Oyue, which was a black key.

"This can't be the key to that door, right?" Ouyue suddenly felt an ominous premonition: "Let's go in and say goodbye. We have gone far enough."

"That's so boring." Nasha pulled out a new sword. The quality of this one was obviously better than the one she picked up casually before. It should be made of fine steel. When she swung it, it was powerful and blue. The fluorescent light casts a chilling light on it.

"Do you want to take it?" Nasha said to Ouyue who was lying on the bed and resting: "I suggest you get a shield and change your clothes. There are several hard armor and stomachs here. Although they don't fit well, they are fast. Having two of them can still save lives.”

"You don't really want to go in and take a look, do you?" Ouyue said speechlessly: "Let's just wait here. Your dad must be here soon, so don't run around."

"That won't work." Nasha got up, picked up two pieces of hard armor, and fixed several pieces of the blocky things on her body with ropes: "I finally got a chance to come out and take a look. You have to know that this is my first time. When you come to a place like this, who knows if there will be another opportunity in the future.”

"So this is the reason why you want to take me to death." Ouyue slapped herself on the forehead, sighed helplessly, and then got up to tie her stomach.

"It's okay. In the worst case, you can just run back by yourself." Nasha said nonchalantly, "Or you can choose to stay here by yourself."

"I'm already wearing armor, can I still stay here?" Ouyue took a shield from the box, and then got a helmet for herself.

The helmet was a bit big, and it tilted directly over his head, blocking one eye.

"You look so funny like this." Nasha smiled casually as she watched Ou Yue adjust her large helmet.

"What can I do?" Ou Yue shrugged: "Maybe when I grow up, I might be able to wear it properly."

He was holding the shield in his hand, which was a small buckler tied to his left arm, but in his hand it looked like a medium-sized shield, which looked particularly large.

"Are you ready?" Nasha put the bag on her back with half a bottle of blood left in it: "Let's go when you're ready."

"Does it mean that if you are not ready, you don't have to leave?" Ouyue suddenly felt a little hope in her heart.

"Of course not." Nasha made a face at him: "Take the fluorescent stone, I don't know what's going on inside."

"I understand." Ou Yue sighed and picked up the fluorescent stone she brought on the table: "Why don't you tell me why I can't think of going out to see the sea and just read a book?"

After he finished complaining, he followed Nasha a few steps and came out of the stone door together.

Nasha took the turned-out key and inserted it into the keyhole of the door. The fist-sized key fit the simple keyhole very well. As she exerted force, a sound came from the keyhole. Crisp sound.

She slowly opened the door, and inside was a staircase going all the way down. The walls on both sides were inlaid with lighting crystals, so she could see far and far below.

The stairs are very small, just enough for the lower half of the foot to step on. It is very straight, there are no turns in sight, and there are no obstructions, so the field of view is very empty.

But even so, there is no end in sight.

"Wow." Ou Yue sighed subconsciously: "How many steps are there?"

Nasha also felt it was a bit difficult. It was really too far. She really didn’t know how long it would take to walk underground.

She turned around, saw the shield in Ouyue's hand, and suddenly thought of an idea.

"Lend it to me." Nasha took the shield from Oyue's hand, placed it on the edge of the stairs, and sat on it.

"I'll go, you don't want to slide down like this," Ouyue swallowed and said, "This will really kill someone."

"What are you afraid of? This thing is made of rare metal. It can be broken." Nasha patted the back half of the shield: "Are you going to sit down?"

"I can't go on," Ou Yue helplessly followed and sat behind Nasha.

Although this shield is not small for them, it is still quite crowded for two people to sit on it.

So Oyue had to hold Nasha in her arms to ensure that she wouldn't fall.

Nasha and he were both wearing strong armor and stomachs, so Ouyue felt a lot of pain.

"Sit down." Nasha put her legs up and put them on top.

"There's basically no problem." Ou Yue looked at the stairs a little panicked: "Are you sure this method is reliable?"

"Never mind it." Nasha said nonchalantly, then pushed with her hand: "Let's go."

Ouyue suddenly froze, and he suddenly thought of a very serious problem.

"Speaking of which, if we continue like this, what are we going to do?"

A moment later, the long corridor was filled with Oyue's screams.

After they left, the door behind them slowly closed, as if someone was standing there, waiting for someone to come in.
