Chapter 2882 The Sixth Man by the Fire

The darkness seemed to swallow up the last bit of courage, but the little elf who shrank his neck tightened the strap of his satchel and raised the back of his hand to wipe the tears from his eyes. No matter where this place is, since she promised Shade to go back with surprise and strength, she cannot be scared away here.

He bit his lip hard to recover from the panic, and then walked cautiously along the corridor.

The rapid recovery of her vision allowed her to see a flash of fire in front of her just after taking two steps. So after a brief hesitation, she endured her fear and continued walking in the direction of the fire, and soon saw that it was a bonfire on the side of a large gap in the corridor wall, and four strange figures were sitting around the bonfire.

They all looked stunned, like soulless corpses.

The firelight dragged the dark shadows of the four strange figures into the corridor, and the shadows swayed with the sway of the bonfire. Seeing this scene in the darkness, Emilia felt that the courage she had just summoned was about to disappear again.

In particular, she noticed that among the four shadows, one had a terrifying tail, one had sharp claws, one had huge eyes that did not look like human beings, and one... one was normal, but it seemed to be simulating the emotions in her heart. Familiar people.

Emilia wanted to stop and turn her head in another direction at this time, but unfortunately, the people standing by the campfire also noticed her breathing, so those corpses seemed to be resurrected in the story. The people turned their heads and looked directly at her.

The firelight illuminated everyone's faces, including the big-tailed green dragon maid, the gray wolf witch who was unconsciously sharpening her claws on the ground just now, Miss Los Metz wearing glasses and holding a book, and

"Iluna?"

The familiar faces made the little elf have the urge to cry again. Shade had told the story here, and she knew where it was.

Iluna from "Next Wednesday" stood up with some confusion after her head was briefly confused due to a long period of silence and drowsiness, but did not greet her immediately:

"Who are you?"

"Don't you know me? Iluna."

"Of course I know Emilia, but I mean, are you really Emilia?"

Iluna, who had regained consciousness, asked very vigilantly, looking at her up and down with her eyes. So Emilia also realized that the four people on the opposite side might be an illusion that this strange scene was simulated from the story told by Shade in her memory, so she subconsciously took two steps back.

"Ha~ I feel really sleepy. Originally, I thought this strange place about to be destroyed was only filled with darkness and fear, but since Iluna came, it has become more and more lively.

"Look, Iluna has another acquaintance here. But this time at least she's a woman, and she's an elf."

The green dragon girl stood up. After waking up from her sleepiness, she wanted to find something to do for herself:

"I'll make tea for everyone. I'll have a new story to hear soon."

Girl Gray Wolf stretched herself quietly:

"I used to always be unable to sleep all night long after drinking strong tea, but after leaving here, I'm afraid I won't have this problem anymore. The elf over there looks still underage, look at how beautiful she is. "

Miss Metz did not bring up the topic of tea, but suggested very sensibly:

"Iluna, just like when Mr. Hamilton first came here, can't you just prove each other?"

Emilia asked nervously:

"Mr. Hamilton? Are you really... Iluna, what was the gift you gave Shade at the end of last year?"

"This kind of question is easy for a mind-reading monster to guess. If I could read minds, I would now be able to tell that the answer is a scarf."

Iluna, who was very experienced, reminded, and then she reached out and grabbed it in front of her. Emilia immediately felt the bag shake, and then something flew out. After Iluna caught it, she realized that it was a brooch.

Iluna looked carefully at the "Sunshine Gun Brooch" she made. In her free left hand, warm yellow sunlight emerged. She compared the strength of her left and right hands with each other, and then said with certainty:

"I don't need to confirm. This is indeed an alchemy item made by myself. It cannot be faked. So, Emilia, why did you come here? After you left last week, Luvia said Every few hours, De would say, "I don't know what's going on with Emilia."

The elf's figure had already hugged her like a swoop. Feeling Emilia's trembling, Iluna, who originally wanted to ask more questions, closed her mouth and then hugged her gently.

(Agelina meditating)

"Emilia doesn't know what's going on."

After the violent wind that swept the white mist finally subsided, Emilia's figure was no longer visible in the ritual formation. Hearing Shade's sigh, Luvia came from behind and comforted:

"Don't worry, my divination shows that although she may encounter unexpected situations, overall she won't be in any big trouble."

"If Miss Siam Nord wants to become the chosen one and become the Elf King, she will have to face many things in the future."

The red-haired girl also came to comfort her. Shade also knew this truth, but he adjusted his mood and looked at the forest elf who was silently watching the gradually extinguishing ritual array:

"Now you can jump out of the bushes in surprise and announce that you have returned?"

The elf shook his head:

"I don't know what you are talking about. Emilia Sienord will not be back until next week. It's Friday now. Please wait."

Luvia looked at Shade in confusion, but Shade shook his head, signaling her not to ask more questions:

"In any case, at least the use of qualifications is no problem. We can't help now, we can only wait for Emilia to come back. The gentleman from the Church of Nature has not been gone for a long time. If Emilia really has to return next week, then I hope she can come with us early next Monday morning. Let's have breakfast together. "

Everyone could see that he was worried, but fortunately, Shade had a good self-regulation ability:

"Clean up the ritual traces here, and you three will leave first. I still have things to do here. Just take the chocobo with you. I'll go home directly after I finish my work. This way it's a little closer.

Luvia, tell Ajelina not to go to bed too early when you go back. Emilia's matter has come to an end for the time being. Tonight, the two of us will have a good talk with Ajelina. "

The girls didn't ask Shade what he was going to do so late. After cleaning up the ritual traces here, they left with the unicorn and the chocobos.

"I don't know what Emilia is like."

Shade stood alone in the open space looking at the five chairs, and then sighed before turning around and leaving. He found the place where he separated from the doctor last time, activated [Visual Magic] to look for the doctor's traces, and then continued to move southwest.

The doctor disappeared in the woods for a whole week, and Shade really wanted to know how he was doing now.

The traces were left by Dr. Schneider on purpose to make it easier for Shade to find him. The doctor didn't think the area around the giant tree was a safe place, so he didn't set up camp nearby, but continued to move forward into the depths of the dense forest.

The traces along the way were easy to find. After turning into a silver wolf, Shade quickly moved forward for half an hour and found the doctor's footprints, which meant that he had come to the area where the doctor's daily activities were.

After changing back to human form, he continued to walk forward with a long sword. Soon, a fire appeared in front of him, and then Shade saw a small house standing in the woods.

It was a classic wooden house with a door on the right and a window on the left. There was a smoking chimney on the roof. The warm light was projected from the cracks under the windows and doors. Travelers who got lost in the forest would definitely not refuse such a shelter.

Shade walked over and knocked on the door. Unexpectedly, the door creaked and opened inwards as soon as his finger touched it.

"Door that opens inwards?"

He stood at the door and looked into the wooden house. There was a fireplace in the warm house, and a pot was simmering on the fireplace. There were some dried bacon hanging on the wall, and upside-down books were placed on the table.

There was no one inside the door, so Shade did not go in. After standing at the door and waiting for a while, footsteps appeared in the woods again, and then a strange middle-aged man with a backpack on his back, with a panicked face, walked out of the woods:

"Oh, thank God! There are people here! Young man, can I go in and rest for a while? I got lost in the woods and haven't eaten for a day."

Shade shook his head:

"Okay, doctor, now I fully understand why you are making preparations in a place far away from human habitation. I admit that this is indeed very dangerous."

Seeing that the middle-aged man was still explaining "I am a traveler", "bad luck", "lost the water bag and food", "can give rewards", Shade interrupted him rudely:

"Bill Schneider, I recognize you."

So the middle-aged man who was nervously explaining his identity stopped for a moment, then slowly lowered his head and laughed.

The black fog poured out from behind him until a floor-to-ceiling stone mirror was constructed. His body merged into the stone mirror, and the psychiatrist with red eyes walked out of it.

With no intention of communicating with Shade, red rays immediately radiated from his eyes, leaving a right-angle mark in the air, then hit the tip of the sword of the Night Watcher and turned into thunder to strike the doctor himself.

But the scarlet thunder only penetrated the thick fluid. The doctor, who used the power of the labyrinth demon-Aru to jump in space, appeared silently behind Shade in the black fog, and was hit in the head by Shade's turn:

"Why do all people who use space power like to run behind others?"
