Game of the World Tree

Chapter 699 Singing (1200 monthly ticket plus more)

The wind outside the window was getting louder and louder.

A bright yellow flame was burning in the brazier, crackling and smoky.

Sebo sat in front of the brazier and looked curiously at the burning material in the basin. It should be the oil peeled off from some kind of monster, and it smelled strange when it burned.

He looked around again, and what caught his eye was the dilapidated, but well-kept house, just because the gray greasy filth on the walls didn't look so clean.

There are many shelves hanging on the walls of the house, and the shelves are full of various odds and ends. Cyber can vaguely identify some tools and decorations that are obviously in the style of the elf, in addition to many black bones and Bottles and jars filled with unknown things.

There were many mud dishes on the ground, which were filled with viscous black fluid, with what seemed to be some kind of worm silk inserts, which were burning with flames, shining brightly, like oil lamps.

The cute elf girl Esther is squatting down, carefully blowing out the "oil lamps" one by one, collecting the black fluid into a bag, and stacking the mud dishes one by one.

At this time, Cyber also understood why the light in the windows of this house was obviously brighter than other houses when he was outdoors. It should be these "oil lamps" that were glowing.

Apart from the elf father and daughter and Cyber, there was no fourth person in the room.

Obviously, the elf girl Esther should stay at home alone until Dore comes back.

Cyber didn't ask where the girl's mother was.

He was afraid to ask a sad story.

Dore was sitting on the other side of the brazier, handling the loot he brought back, most of which were black pieces of meat, exuding an unpleasant smell, which made Cyber couldn't help frowning.

However, Dore seemed to be used to it.

The ugly frost elf was cross-legged, slicing the flesh with a rusted dagger, shaved off the sticky grease, and loaded it into a prepared bottle.

Looking at the thick liquid, Cyber felt that he should know what fuel to light those "oil lamps" and the brazier.

Estelle quickly packed the oil lamp.

Then, under the curious eyes of Cyber, her figure disappeared into another slightly dimly lit room on the inside of the house.

Because Dore, who was sitting on the other side, just blocked his view, he couldn't see the situation in the other room. He could only hear the girl's brisk footsteps, humming, and occasionally Some water flow can be heard.

She seemed to be in a good mood.

After a while, Estelle's figure reappeared in Cyber's sight. This time, she had a patterned clay pot and three pitted cups in her hands.

I saw that she flew in front of the two like a cheerful butterfly, knelt down and sat down, and then poured a cup of tea for Cyber, Dore, and herself.

"Dad, guest, you have worked hard all the way, drink some water!"

Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like an oriole.

And after doing this, she "tatata" disappeared into the darkness again, like a cheerful little rabbit.

what a lovely kid...

Saibo couldn't help but think so.

After walking all the way, he also felt a little thirsty, so he picked up the cup.

However, when he picked up the cup and looked at the unknown liquid in the cup, he hesitated slightly.

It was a turbid liquid with a light layer of grease floating on it, and it exuded an indescribable fishy smell.

Cyber: …

Is this water? !

Cyber's sense of smell told him that his body was rejecting the unknown fluid.

But when he looked at Dore, he found that he had already picked up the cup and drank it.

The expression of this silent frost elf is very normal, and it seems that it is not affected by the fishy smell of this "tea" at all.

Cyber: …

He twitched the corners of his mouth, admiring him from the bottom of his heart.

This "tea"... He felt nauseated just by smelling it.

"Guest? Not to your taste?"

At this moment, Estelle's voice came again.

Cyborg looked over subconsciously, and saw the elf girl standing at the door of the inner room, holding a tray in her hand, and on the tray were three clay bowls containing something.

She was tilting her little head, looking at Cyber with her big, shining eyes.

Those pure eyes like a newborn beast made it difficult for Cyber to say "no".

"This is the juice of the abyss worm, which has been purified."

At this time, Dore's low and hoarse voice came over.

After speaking, he coughed violently again, and took a few deep breaths before he recovered.

Cyborg noticed that the pustules on his face had cracked more and more, and yellow pus flowed out.

"dad!"

Esther let out a low voice, put down the tray in her hand, "Tadata" ran in front of Dolei, knelt on the ground and took out a cloth strip that could not be distinguished from the color, and gently wiped the pus from Dolei's face .

The girl's movements are very gentle.

"Does it hurt...?"

Her voice trembled a little, and her expression was full of worry.

However, Dore gently pushed her away and said in a panic:

"Don't... don't touch me, dirty."

Under the shadowy flames, Estelle's delicate profile and Dore's hideous appearance formed a sharp contrast. The worry in the girl's eyes and the helplessness on her father's expression reflected each other, and they merged into one under the firelight.

Seeing this scene, Saibo's nose was inexplicably sour.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and drank the juice from the cup.

fishy smell.

Hot and sour.

However, it is not comparable to the depression in Cyberspace's heart now.

He didn't understand what exactly these elves suffered to be reduced to this point.

Abyss Worm...

Is this... an abyss?

The flames in the brazier crackled and the door rattled in the wind.

Estelle stood up and raised the tray again, hiding the worry on her face, and put on a smile like the sunshine of spring again:

"Dad, guest, are you hungry? Estelle has prepared food, fill her stomach!"

Saying that, she brought the mud bowl on the tray to the two of them.

After listening to Esther's words, Cyber also felt a little hungry in his stomach, but with the "tea" in front of him, he was already a little mentally prepared.

Looking down, he looked at the food the girl handed him.

It was a piece of air-dried jerky, black.

Unlike the delicious jerky that Cyber often uses as dry food, these black jerky also emits a faint stench, which is disgusting.

In addition, there are some odd lumps that seem to be fungi, and the smell is not flattering.

Cyborg doesn't want to think about why elves will start eating meat without the influence of the player.

He doubted if he would eat anything wrong with these pungent smells...

Cyborg was holding the clay bowl and looked hesitant, but Estelle and Dore had already acted.

I saw them put the mud bowl on their chests, gently closed their eyes, and looked peaceful and pious.

Their lips moved slightly and they prayed.

The flames in the brazier flickered and snapped.

The murmured prayers of the two also passed into the ears of the keen-sounding Cyborg:

"Merciful and great mother goddess..."

"You are the master of life, you are the mother of nature..."

"May you bless your confused people and find true light in the darkness..."

Saibo opened his mouth slightly, his expression full of surprise.

life dominates...

Mother Nature...

This is the name of Goddess Eve!

But...why did the goddess not respond?

At this time, Cyborg suddenly regretted that although he was a semi-casual party, he didn't have a deep understanding of the plot behind "The Kingdom of the Elf"...

Could it be... Could it be because this is an abyss, so the goddess' eyes can't be fixed here?

He couldn't help but guess.

The two frost elves quickly finished their prayers, drew a crooked symbol on their chests, and began to eat.

They eat slowly, chew carefully, and seem to have rather rare food in their hands.

At this time, Cyborg suddenly remembered that he seemed to have vaguely heard someone mention that the goddess seemed to have changed the symbol of prayer once during the previous internal tests...

Could it be that the goddesses didn't receive their prayers because the symbols were inconsistent?

Cyborg guessed again.

"Guest? Not to your taste?"

Just as Cyber's thoughts were flying, Estelle's oriole-like voice sounded again.

Cyber looked over and saw that the girl was looking at his slow-moving food.

He noticed that the mud bowl in the girl's hand was already empty.

Eat so fast!

Cyber is a little surprised.

However, when he noticed Dore's unfinished jerky from the corner of his eye and Estelle's unfinished expression, he suddenly felt in his heart.

It's not that the girl eats fast, but I'm afraid she doesn't have much food there.

Obviously, the food was prepared in advance by Esther.

It is impossible for a girl to know her arrival in advance.

So... she only prepared food for two people at the beginning, and now she should give most of her own to his guest.

Here, I am afraid that food is also quite scarce.

For a time, the grief in Cyborg's heart was even worse.

He took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said:

"No, it tastes good."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the mud bowl and devoured the jerky and mushrooms while holding his breath.

It was so patient...that I didn't spit it out.

"Cough cough cough..."

As if eating too fast, he coughed violently.

But soon, he felt a small, warm palm patted on his back, gently helping him to calm down.

"Slow down, don't choke."

Saibo turned his head and saw the sweet smile of the girl.

Looking at that innocent smile, his heart became more and more sour.

"thanks……"

Cyber said in a low voice.

After speaking, he stretched his hand into his arms, took some fruits of the Elf Forest from his storage space, and put them in front of the girl and Dorei.

"This...this is?"

Looking at the crystal clear blue fruit, Estelle's eyes were full of curiosity.

She couldn't help but stretched out her hand and poked it, then closed her eyes and asked, her eyes were suddenly filled with light:

"It smells so good!"

Dore was also slightly startled.

He couldn't help sniffing in the air, and there was a hint of intoxication in his expression.

"This is my hometown's specialty sweet green fruit. I'll give it to you. Thank you for your hospitality."

Saibo said.

"Sweet green fruit?"

Estelle repeated curiously, swallowed slightly, and asked:

"Is this... edible?"

Looking at her eyes full of curiosity, Saibo didn't know what to feel in his heart...

In the forest of elves, sweet green fruit itself is a favorite fruit of elves.

However, here, these elves don't even know what it is.

These hundreds of years... what have they experienced?

"Eat."

Cyber sighed, picked up one, and put it into his mouth first.

Crisp and sweet.

Seeing his action, the two frost elves hesitated for a while, and then carefully put the fruit into their mouths.

They first took a light bite, and their bodies froze at the same time.

Cyborg noticed that the expressions of the two became almost instantly enjoying.

They couldn't help squinting their eyes, and their expressions were moved, as if they had eaten the most delicious food in the world...

Then, as if they hadn't eaten for a long time, they devoured it.

"Eat slowly, I have more."

Saibo said softly.

At this time, Dolei suddenly put down the fruit in his hand and looked at him calmly.

Cyber was taken aback.

But soon, he keenly noticed that the frost elf's eyes seemed to soften a lot.

I saw Dore pointing to himself and said hoarsely:

"Dore Frost."

Then, he pointed to the elf girl again:

"Estel, my daughter."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Cyber again, and his voice was quiet:

"The Unsullied...you, what's your name?"

Saibo was slightly startled.

He was silent for a moment, then showed a friendly smile:

"Cyber."

"My name is Cyber, Cyber Shadow..."

...

After a meal, the three people in front of the brazier obviously got to know each other a lot.

Dore was still taciturn. He sat there quietly handling the trophies of the hunt, coughing a few times from time to time.

Estelle, on the other hand, was lying on the ground, staring at the big pure eyes, curiously looking at Cyber who helped Dore deal with the spoils together.

"Mr. Cyber, you are so beautiful!"

She looked at Cyborg's fair and flawless cheeks and said with some envy.

Seeing the girl's bright eyes, Cyber's expression became softer.

"You are the same, very cute, Estelle."

he said.

Estelle giggled, then looked at the gorgeous armor on Cyborg, and asked with anticipation and curiosity:

"Mr. Cyber... Are you the envoy of the Mother Goddess?"

"I saw in the book that the goddess and goddesses are all as good-looking as you!"

"And...you have that wonderful sweetness...sweet..."

"Sweet green fruit."

Cyber added.

"Yes! Yes! Sweet green fruit!"

The girl nodded.

"Then...that's the legendary fruit, right? Did you bring it from the goddess of the Mother Goddess?"

"I've seen it in the book! The Holy Scripture says that the goddess of the Mother Goddess is rich and beautiful, like milk and honey flowing..."

"There, there is warm sunshine, blue sky, sweet berries and sweet springs..."

"No worries, no sorrow, no pain, no degeneration, everyone lives happily and happily..."

"Mr. Cyber! Are you from the kingdom of God, the Mother Goddess?"

"Have you ever seen a clear blue sky? The book says that there are shining stars there, like magnificent gems!"

"Gem... what is it like?"

"Mom said that my grandfather's grandfather once had one, but it was too long, and he accidentally lost it when he migrated more than 2,000 years ago..."

"Have you ever seen a gem?"

Seeing Esther's excited look, Cyber hesitated.

At the same time, he was slightly startled.

What did he hear?

Two... two thousand years?

And at this time, bursts of roars like wild beasts began to come from outside the house, interrupting his thoughts.

Vaguely, Cyber can still hear shouts and fights.

"The Kuroshio is coming..."

Dore's voice was low and authentic.

With a move in his heart, Cyber quickly stood up and walked towards the door.

Outside the door, it was completely shrouded in gray fog, and you could only vaguely see the lights of other people's houses.

The earth trembled slightly, and the howls of monsters and the sound of swords were looming, as if it was the direction of the city wall.

The chaotic sound was buried in the whistling wind, and it appeared and disappeared from time to time.

Seemingly frightened, Esther shrank and hid behind Dore.

Dore, on the other hand, did not know when to turn to the work in his hand, and picked up an elf harp made of unknown materials.

He played softly, and the melodious and soothing melody flowed slowly.

Saibo was slightly startled.

That is the well-known elf-style music of "Elf Nation", "Emerald Morning".

The music is soothing, soft, with a touch of sadness, but beneath the sadness, there is a tenacious persistence and firmness.

Dore spoke softly, a low hoarse voice singing along with the melody.

As Dorei chanted, Estelle gradually calmed down.

She leaned against her father and whispered softly.

The hoarse voice of the vicissitudes of life is intertwined with the crisp singing, accompanied by a gentle melody, penetrating the window and floating over the city.

Gradually, faint chants came from all over the city and joined the singing team:

"The sky is bright, and the night is about to disappear"

"The dawning light slowly awakens the sleeping creatures"

"Music sounded soothingly, melodious surging"

"Flowers bloom slowly, exuding a natural fragrance"

"Sunrise and Sunset"

"Every day begins with new hope"

"melodious tune"

"The troubadour is singing in the emerald morning"

"Benevolent Mother Goddess"

"May you shine brightly"

"I am your most devout child"
