magician of beasts

"Gu Ruiyi." A Luo nodded in greeting. To be honest, he just wanted to ease the atmosphere, but now that Gu Ruiyi really came, he didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only greet like this, "It's been a long time not see."

Gu Ruiyi smiled again: "Mr. Errol, you don't have to be so polite. I happen to have something to ask for my mentor. Since you're here, come sit with me."

The elves next to Gu Ruiyi heard Gu Ruiyi's words, and they retracted their bows and arrows at the same time. Those on the ground stood on both sides of the road and waited quietly, while those on the tree just jumped between the branches continuously, as if they were guarding.

However, no one raised doubts about Gu Ruiyi.

It looks very authoritative... A Luo lowered his eyes and thought, and, obviously, the two sides have become estranged to a certain extent, and it is not easy to expose this matter, so why did they invite the two of them into the forest?You know, for the elves who hate humans, the elf forest has never allowed them to enter.

However, no matter what kind of ideas Gu Ruiyi had, he would not be afraid. Aluo felt the arms around his waist more forcefully, as if announcing his presence all the time, and smiled slightly.

The elves surrounded A Luo only on the outskirts of the elf forest. After walking for a long time without seeing the end, A Luo realized something.

Gu Ruiyi's steps are neither too big nor too small, but they seem to have a strange and rhythmic beauty as if they are dancing. Alo noticed that the elves who are responsible for guarding beside them have gradually stepped into this rhythm Among them, light and beautiful.

Although Gu Ruiyi invited Aluo, he didn't talk to Aluo other than leading the way. Aluo only glanced at these elves in a hurry, and didn't pay much attention, but focused his eyes on the elves. Under the tree, and some corners where the shade is not enough.

Yes, he just discovered that some familiar herbs began to grow sporadically near the core of the forest of elves, among which some rare herbs even had a shape similar to the herbs in the cultivation world... the more Going inside, the better they grow, and even the older they are.

The idea of ​​alchemy, which had been shelved for various reasons a long time ago, suddenly appeared in A Luo's mind at this time.

If you can pick these herbs...

Just when he was recalling the pill recipe with the herbs in his mind, the more intense and fresh wood air rushed to his face, the light in front of his eyes widened, and he suddenly realized that A Luo stopped his thoughts and found that he had reached the core of the forest—the elf where they live.

"You two, welcome to the paradise of elves." Gu Ruiyi finally turned around and smiled softly at the two of them.

This is an older forest, and there is a considerable distance between each tree. There are large holes dug in the trunks of some trees. The holes are clean and tidy. A net-like platform, and a long tree ladder made of more flexible branches and leaves; some big trees have vines weaving on the thickest branches to form a wide, pouch-like room, leaving only a gap as a door; Some use branches between trees to make tree houses. They don't touch the ground, but they look very firm and soft... In short, all elves love to be with trees, and they always want their sleeping places to be far away from the trees. A little closer, a little closer.

The elves are jumping happily among the trees, and the emerald green figures become the most beautiful scenery... Alo looked at these elves, and then at Gu Ruiyi—only Gu Ruiyi has pure emerald green hair and eyes , other elves, the color of these two places is always lighter than his.

Seeing two strangers coming in, the elves froze for a moment, but when they saw Gu Ruiyi next to the strangers, they quickly relaxed.

As if he didn't notice, Guriyi just smiled and said to Arlo: "Mr. Errol, please come to my room."

Alo didn't look sideways, and pulled Sirius, who was very sensitive to hostility, to follow quickly, bypassing the ancient woods where the elves built their nests, and came to the rear of them. There were still trees there, but they were more sparse than those in front. , and there are many bushes and flowers, but it does not make people feel cluttered.

Going further back is a big tree with a canopy that seems to be able to cover the sky. There are several wooden houses under the tree, forming a circle around the big tree. Gu Ruiyi walked towards one of them and pushed the house away. The door of the log house.

"Mr. Errol, Mr. Sirius, please come in." Gu Ruiyi smiled back and went in first.

Aluo and the two entered the door, and Gu Ruiyi was already sitting on the head of the bed.

It was a wooden bed by the window. The window was supported by a wooden pillar and opened, and a little light fell on the face of the person on the bed.

A Luo paused, walked over, stopped by the bed, and then he froze suddenly.

The person on the bed had a dejected face, his long gray hair hung down to his ankles, and spread out to make a bed, with his hands on his sides, and the gorgeous vines flamboyantly climbed half of his face...but the color was dull.

It was Shulia, the gray goblin Shulia who seemed to be seriously injured.

"Mr. Errol was surprised?" Gu Ruiyi's gaze stayed on Shulia, and there seemed to be a hint of a smile in his tone.

"Yes." Alo nodded frankly, and under Gu Ruiyi's gesture, he and Sirius sat on the wicker chair further back than Shulia, "What's wrong with Shulia?"

"Ah, I did it, and I did it on purpose." Gu Ruiyi seemed to have just realized, "However, that's not what I want to say."

Alo was quiet, waiting for Gu Ruiyi to speak.

Gu Ruiyi obviously liked Aluo's attitude very much, so he squinted at this side from the corner of his eyes, then returned to Shulia, and said, "Master, have you thought about why I have such a big change? In fact, it is very Simple, at the beginning, I accidentally learned about the conversation between Shulia and the mentor, so it suddenly changed."

...by chance?Aluo was a little confused, but Gu Ruiyi was obviously a good speaker, and he quickly resolved this doubt for Aluo.

"The elves have three secret skills, which are the heart of the elves, the voice of the elves, and the arrow of the elves." Gu Ruiyi spoke slowly, without any emotion, "Among them, the arrow of the elves is easy to understand, it is a An indescribably powerful archery skill, and the heart of the elf and the voice of the elf are actually more similar to telepathy. For example, the heart of the elf can display pictures and messy smells of things that happened some time ago in the virtual image, and the spirit of the elf The sound of the voice is the sound that can be heard when things happened in the past... The heart of the elves and the voice of the elves are used at the same time, it is like rehearsing a living event in front of your eyes. Generally speaking, it is a kind of memory ability Ordinary elves may not be able to master one of them, but once mastered, they are considered as talented elves, most of the elf royal family can master some, and to become an elf king, they must master all three. "

After laying the groundwork, Gu Ruiyi smiled: "I once gave Shulia a bracelet woven from grass stems as a gift, Shulia has been wearing it all the time, and when I weaved it, I used the power of elves The original purpose of the power of sound is actually just because he is about to enter school, hoping to provide Shulia with some help in memory... For example, repeat the knowledge he has learned so that he can review it better?"

Speaking of this, he laughed at himself a bit: "But I didn't expect that before I had time to tell Shulia how to use it, the bracelet was accidentally broken. Of course I tried my best to repair it, but I heard the repeated words of Xiulia and your mentor." Conversation... and then, I almost collapsed."

"I did a lot of things later..." He suddenly waved his hand indifferently, "Those are not the point, because I want to get something, um, there must be some deliberate elements, let Shulia do very dangerous things , He completed my confession, but he was seriously injured, and then I took him to the forest."

A Luo saw Gu Ruiyi's seemingly casual attitude, but it was also from his attitude that he vaguely guessed the unusually entangled mood he might have at that time.

Gu Ruiyi suddenly smiled again: "Actually, I can not only know the voice of the elves, but also the heart of the elves, and my archery skills are not bad...Although I am immature, because I am too fragile I didn't know that I already knew two kinds of secret skills, but my mother knew it very well."

He sighed: "My mother identified me as the heir at the beginning, so besides me, she didn't have any children. It's not that she can't forget my legendary father, but she doesn't think there is any need to add more children——Mother She can give everything for the elves, and when she thinks that I am the best candidate, she will not add any possible opponents for me." Gu Ruiyi said here, with a slightly wry smile, "Mother is really a very powerful person. Her people... I, Shulia, and even the turmoil of the black goblin this time are all expected by her. Everything is just to pull out the cancerous tumor of the elves... and to train me and make me mature."

"Later, I learned that Shulia's actions were inspired by my mother. My mother knew that I was so innocent and stupid at that time, and would definitely be close to the first person who approached me after going out of the forest, so she arranged for Xiulia Accompanying me is to protect me, but also to gain my trust, become my friend, and then betray at an appropriate time-in this way, the anger caused by setbacks will make me grow quickly, so that I will no longer So I don't know the world... I have to say, my mother succeeded."

"But..." Gu Ruiyi gently stroked Shulia's pale side face, his emerald green eyes shone with complicated light.

"It wasn't until I went back to the forest and saw my mother who was seriously ill that I realized the truth. I have always hated Shulia's betrayal, but such a betrayal was actually designed by my mother." This made him not know how to face it Xiulia, continue to hate and try to torture him?still……

Moreover, he was even more worried that everything Shuria did was part of his mission, and even the conversation that was heard was something planned, so it was true that nothing they had known since their acquaintance was Shulia Did you really do it yourself?Could it be that no matter how he treats Shulia, he can't leave any marks in his light gray eyes... Not reconciled, he really is not reconciled.

Arlo didn't speak, and of course Sirius didn't either. There was silence in the room, but Shulia's breath, which was as thin as a gossamer, seemed to be suddenly magnified.

Gu Ruiyi laughed, turned his head, and looked at A Luo: "Mr. Errol, are you wondering why I have to tell you so much?"
