Elf Story from Another World

chapter eight

The air was filled with the scent of precious spices, and the sound of gentle music filled the big house.

In the huge room, Ouyue was lying on the bed, not waking up yet.

Yesterday, the gravity pull knocked him unconscious, so he just managed to fight back.

The black pattern on his head didn't shine a trace of light, it was as black as a pool of water. When light penetrated, it was like going into a black hole, with no possibility of escape.

There are piles of books on both sides of this room, all of which are about dark magic. The desk is quite small, with a piece of paper spread out on it, and an expensive piece of art placed on the pen holder. It's so delicate that it doesn't even look like it's intended for writing.

There is a fruit plate on the table next to it, which contains fruits transported from all over the elves. Because of the magical teleportation circle, freshly picked fruits can be delivered to places no matter how far away they are within half a day.

This is not because this family is noble, so they have to eat the freshest food. Elves hate things that have been stored for too long. Any elf who sees a fruit that has undergone any changes due to being stored for too long will throw it away without even thinking about it.

At first glance, this room looks ordinary, and it can even be said to be a great room. The stone walls are carved with hollow patterns, and oil paintings by everyone are framed and hung on the walls. These are all from transactions with the human race, and those guys exchanged this kind of art for a lot of supplies.

But if you look closely, you will know what this place is like.

The frame of the window is made of solid metal, and the inside of the glass is also made of metal pipes. Like a cell window. There are hundreds of magic circles hidden under those carved patterns, including teleportation.

On the only metal door that can be exited, in addition to the double lock at the handle, there is an additional row of locks. And after opening it is another door. This double door structure is very safe, because when Okuki actually opens the first door. The second door will be completely locked while triggering the alarm. The molten copper liquid was poured directly into the lock core, and smoke with a hypnotic effect began to spew out from the ceiling.

This is an exquisite cage containing a rare creature. They grew up expecting this thing to be used on large-scale battlefields.

Ouyue hadn't woken up yet. He closed his eyes tightly and frowned on his little face. He remembered the scene of separation from his brother too clearly. So after he dreamed, every picture at that time was even so clearly visible.

He is not as clever as his brother, or even as courageous as his brother. He was just a weak ten-year-old boy who couldn't understand why he was forced to be separated from his brother.

The brain circuit in his little head is too simple, and until now he is willing to believe that this is a world full of beauty and hope, where everyone is willing to laugh and live in peace.

In fact, not only the elves, but also all the races on the advanced Elrenya continent began preparing for war decades ago. The warning of the coming of gods thousands of years ago did not make them repent. Instead, they were looking for the existence of gods, or trying to prove that there were no gods in this world.

Then, the war for resources and land can be legitimately launched. Every inch of land captured was exchanged for blood, and the resources obtained were far less than the corpses.

As for Ouyue, he was still struggling with why everyone wouldn't sit together and play games.

The soft music finally woke up the child. Ouyue first stretched and yawned as she was accustomed to. Then he subconsciously reached out and pulled his right side, because that was usually where his brother was. He has a habit of staying in bed, so when he wakes up, he hugs his brother first and then sleeps for a while.

But this time, he didn't catch anything.

Ouyue opened her eyes and stared blankly at her empty right side, trembling slightly.

He slowly sat up, hugging his thighs. The whole person curled up into a ball and cried softly.

The surrounding air slowly became turbid, and the black air slowly enveloped him, like a black hand caressing him, as if the darkness was comforting him.

It was midnight outside the window, and all the light in the room came from the refined light element crystals on the roof. Ouyue looked at the dark night outside in a daze.

Suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart.

He stretched out his hand towards the dark night outside. Suddenly, the window suddenly shattered, and the glass fragments flying in the air looked as beautiful as glitter under the light.

The darkness outside seemed to come alive, creeping in through the broken window and forming something similar to a clay figure.

Its height reaches the ceiling, and Oyue looks like a little mouse in front of it.

"It's you again." Ouyue tilted her head and looked at the giant in front of her: "Are you here to play with me?"

Ouyue's eyes were now as black as ink, pure without a trace of color. The pattern on his head seemed to come alive, stretching out its soft edges and squirming on his forehead.

The black monster that came in slowly bent down, hugged Ouyue, and gently stroked his head with its huge claws.

Ouyue showed no resistance and allowed the monster to hug him. He seemed to have lost his soul, and his whole body was like a large rag doll.

"Thank you." Ouyue said softly. He felt the only remaining sense of security being held in this way.

Suddenly, there was a sound from the other side of the door, and a row of locks above it were unlocked one by one.

The black monster let go of Ouyue, moved to the side, and protected Ouyue.

The door was knocked open a few seconds later, and the person who came in was the one who finally came to Oyue after bargaining with the Rovira family in front of the throne in the afternoon.

He was startled when he came in. He looked at the huge black monster in front of him and Ou Yue, who was huddled on the bed and shivering.

"Did you do this?" His voice was calm, and he couldn't tell whether he was angry or otherwise.

Ou Yue nodded slightly, subconsciously moved back, pulled the quilt and hugged him, which made him feel at ease.

"Uncle, come here and take a look. Once you see it, you will know that this guy is really a genius." Suddenly, the guy opposite him, who was wearing a pair of well-dressed shoes, cheered and ran out and shouted in the corridor.

Ouyue was stunned. He thought he would be scolded if he accidentally broke the glass, and maybe even beaten. So he was scared to death just now, but he didn't feel angry from the other person's words.

However, the door is now open, and the guy forgot to close it when he left.

Ouyue was now wearing a white pajamas, which were a bit too big, and the white top hung down to her knees. He slowly got out of bed, grabbed a pillow and held it in his arms, which made him feel more relaxed.

Elves don't have the habit of messing with the hair on their heads. They usually use a dagger to cut off a section when it grows too long. His hair is naturally curly brown and hangs down to his shoulders. The long pointed ears were folded together because of sadness, and that face perfectly inherited the fine traditions of elves.

In short, he now looked like a little girl who had a nightmare, holding a pillow and walking barefoot in a huge castle.

"Are you coming too?" Suddenly, Ou Yue turned around.

Behind him, a huge black monster followed him, obediently like his shadow.

"Okay, be careful not to make any noise." Ou Yue looked at the big man and said helplessly: "By the way, you are already so big."

He knew the words were meaningless, the big man never made a sound.

It is now midnight, and the huge castle is empty. Ouyue hugged the pillow, followed by the silent black monster, walking aimlessly.

He didn't know what the monster was, where it came from, or why it came to him.

When the family saw it for the first time, they were briefly surprised and understood that this guy had no hostility towards Oyue, and then acquiesced to its existence.

As long as the night comes, it may exist in any corner of the house. No matter what form it takes, it always stays there quietly without making any sound.

At first, it was only the size of a washbasin, but it grew quickly until it became what it is today.

Ouyue had never seen such a big house before, and he didn't know where to go. He only knew that he wanted to find his brother, and his only wish now was to return to his brother.

Whenever he wanted to stand there and cry, the black monster behind him would come to comfort him.

He didn't know what this monster was, but since he was a child, ever since Ori had memories, this black monster would accompany him at night. If Ori is in a bad mood, he will find a way to cheer him up.

Ouyue turned around and saw the big man floating in the air following her. The eyes on his square head were one big and one small, and he would blink when he was looked at.

It's nice to have such a familiar thing with you. Ouyue thought that in this strange place, there could still be familiar things accompanying him.

Suddenly, there seemed to be voices in front of the corridor. Ouyue was so frightened that she crouched in a corner and secretly stretched out her little head to look at the things in front of her.

"Uncle, I beg you, you can leave half a day later." The guy who brought it followed an elf wrapped in a black robe, and his voice sounded like he was crying.

"The Blood Emperor and I made an appointment a long time ago. We'll talk about it when we come back if anything happens." The elf in black robes said in an impatient tone.

"Just take a look at the new little guy. It's not too late to leave after a little guidance." The guy almost cried: "If you leave, I guess you won't come back for several months."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I plan to stay there for two years before coming back." The elf in the black cloak said coldly: "If there is a breakthrough in the research, maybe it will be longer."

"So you should go take a look. That's an elemental elf with dark elements. If you leave, no one will teach him." The other one plopped down and knelt down, hugging the thighs of the elf in front of him with both hands. : "Uncle, I'm begging you. If this elemental spirit can be cultivated, those bastards from the Rovira family who deserve to be killed will not be able to compete with us."

"Aren't we always better than them?" The elf in the black cloak was hugged by the thigh and almost fell to the ground without his footing firmly: "You can just find someone to teach you. Aren't you also a good mage? Let go, it’s time for me to go.”

"I won't let him go, even if I beat him to death." This guy was so anxious that he actually forced his tears out: "But the Rovira family also got an elemental elf. If I bring this one back and it's not as good as it, I guess they will Use this as an excuse to attack our dignity."

In the afternoon, in front of the Elf King, he almost reprimanded the aloof king, and at the same time, he also used spells with members of the Rovira family. It can be said that it is on the tip of a knife to benefit the Stras family.

But now he knelt down on the ground, hugged the other elf's leg, and burst into tears. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that the guy who was so embarrassed was the same person as the high-spirited guy in the afternoon.

Okuki didn't care about these surprising changes. He only clearly heard the location of his brother.

Rovira family, is his brother in that kind of place?

He moved carefully, trying to escape from the other side.

The big guy actually slipped right into his shadow, as if he had never appeared before.

It tiptoed like a little mouse. Because it didn't wear shoes, its feet made no sound at all on the carpet.

But obviously, it's difficult to slip away next to an elf.

The two guys in front paused at the same time, stopped what they were doing, and slowly turned around.

The elves are the best race individually. If it weren't for their slow reproduction, they would have dominated the world long ago.

These include the five senses. If Ouzuki remained motionless, he might not be noticed, but he only needed to move a little. Any change will alert them.

"Ouyue, why are you here?" The elf kneeling on the ground was surprised and happy. He quickly got up, stepped over and grabbed his wrist in two steps, and pulled him in front of the man in the cloak.

"Uncle, look, this is what I told you. He will be your student from now on. You promised me that you would teach him." He grabbed the cloaked elf again, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

"Hey, hey, hey, when did I promise you?" The elf who was grabbed by the arm roared angrily.

His hat accidentally fell off, and his face was exposed, which made people surprised.

How could he ruin the beautiful face of an elf to such an extent that thick dark circles appeared on his lifeless face. His stubble grew messily on his chin, and his hair was as messy as a bird's nest. Those bloodshot eyes seemed ready to explode at any moment. His face was sunken in, like a hungry ghost who had been hungry for a hundred years.

It's like a mummy.

Ouyue was stunned by this, but before he could ask the question, the elf spoke like a vomiting ball: "I am Shkarlo, this is Lowenstein, my uncle, he He is a very powerful magician. He will be your teacher from now on, and you must follow him and learn well."

But Lowenstein didn't speak. He stared blankly at the shadow behind Ou Yue without saying a word.

Then he raised his hand, and a dark spear condensed in his hand in an instant.

He adjusted the angle, pointed the spear at Aoyue, and looked at Aoyue with bloodshot eyes, as if he wanted to devour it.
