The fifth king of the elves

Chapter 866. 866. Unrecognizable Elf

Without exception, all the elves who worked in Shiro Castle back then were brought back to their hometown of Heijin City by Kiriha's great-grandmother.

Kiriba's great-grandmother was not a very rich person. She did this because she was grateful for Shiori's care for her back then, and because her long-term work made her very fond of all the elves in that castle.

In order to get all these elves back, Wuyeze's great-grandmother sold her house in Jiayuan City.

In the end, it was Kiriha's great-grandfather who stretched out his hand, and the two took it together, bringing all the elves back to themselves.

A total of fourteen elves settled in Heijin City quietly with Wuye's great-grandfathers.

"Great-grandmother also wanted to find Miss Shiori's dream monster, but she went back to the castle several times to find it, but there was no result."

"Before she died, in order to fulfill her wish, the elders of the family went to the ruined castle in Jiayuan City again, but it was the same as before, no matter how much they called, the Dream Demon did not respond."

Luther noticed that the Dream Demon's body was trembling, and there seemed to be something glittering in his eyes.

The dream monster stayed in the castle for more than a hundred years, sleeping and waking up from time to time, and in order to ensure safety, she deliberately set up illusions near Shiori's room.

Wuye's elders came to look for it several times, but they missed her because of this.

As for what happened later, Luther was already mentally prepared.

"Unfortunately, all the elves brought back by my great-grandmother have passed away."

"Shortly after her great-grandmother passed away, Ladybug Ann, who had reached old age like her great-grandmother, stopped eating and drinking, and soon left with her great-grandmother."

"Following the behest of my great-grandmother, my grandfather carefully took care of the living elves until the year I was born, the last elf, the long-lived auspicious egg, also left this world."

"I heard that for a long time after I was born, Ji Lidan hugged me and took care of me. Until the day she died, she still guarded me."

"The elders said that when they found me, I was sleeping soundly in the pocket of the lucky egg. The expression of the lucky egg was similar to mine, as if I had fallen asleep."

Speaking of this, Wuye's expression was a little lonely: "Unfortunately, I have no impression at all. All this was told to me by the elders."

Meng Yaomo suddenly burst into tears.

It is far less impactful to hear the description of her old friend's departure than to say that she has passed away lightly. At this moment, she finally couldn't hold back and cried.

She knew it before she came, and she told herself repeatedly, don't be sad, don't cry, and don't bother Luther.

But she just couldn't help it.

After telling the past, Wuye and Luther remained silent for a long time, letting the dream monster vent its sorrow to its heart's content.

It wasn't until the crying became quieter that Luther held the Dream Demon in his arms and comforted her.

"Do these elves have tombs?"

According to the personality of the Wuye family, these elves should have a special cemetery.

However, Kiriba's answer surprised Luther a little.

"There is no cemetery, why?"

"Because after these elves died, they were all taken away by a strange elf. The elders in our family don't know what kind of elf it is. They only know that it was brought back by great-grandfather after he went out to sea."

"This elf doesn't seem to be particularly close to the great-grandfathers. It seems a bit scary, but it has a very good relationship with the elves brought home by the great-grandfathers."

"Before the great-grandfathers passed away, she had been hiding from humans and staying far away, but she would often run away when no one at home came to help with some housework."

"After the great-grandfather passed away and the elves she brought home also began to pass away, she disappeared from this family. She only came back when some elves died of old age, but every time she came back, she would help the family do housework again, or bring back some berries."

Wu Ye's words made Luther dumbfounded.

According to Wuye, every elf died of old age, and then an elf would appear quietly and take away the bodies of these elves.

Wuye's great-grandfather also said that the unknown elf was a friend of these elves, and this was the funeral he held for his friend.

"Strange elf, do you have a description or a portrait?"

Wuye thought for a moment, and said hesitantly: "It seems that my grandfather has painted one, but I don't know if I can find it. After all, our family has had many changes over the years, and our family has moved outside Heijin City."

"But there are two descriptions that I remember clearly."

"Grandfather said it was a strange, dwarf-like elf."

"My father also witnessed her appearance after the death of the lucky egg. He said it looked like an unusually shaped hat, and quickly disappeared into the distance with the lucky egg. He even helped our house tidy up the messy ground."

Luther and Xia Xu looked at each other.

This elf was brought home by Kiriba's great-grandfather, that is, an elf from at least 200 years ago.

And this elf was still active until the death of the lucky egg, which meant that her lifespan was at least similar to that of the dream monster, which was extremely long.

And the description is also very interesting, Wuye's great-grandfather didn't know this elf.

It's understandable that the younger generations don't know each other. After all, this elf appeared very few times later, and every time he came back at night to take away the remains of his former partner.

"Could it be due to the lack of news in ancient times?" Xia Xu reminded, "At that time, there was very little understanding of elves, and some areas could not unify the names of elves, which made them unable to recognize them."

Luther decided to take a look at the painting first. If Wuye's grandfather's painting skills were not particularly bad and the painting was well preserved, he might be able to directly determine which elf was silently guarding the old friends of the Dream Demon.

The Dream Demon also wanted to know very much who the elves were who accompanied his old friends on the last stretch of their dying journey.

She also wanted to know where her old friends lived after they passed away.

The store manager of Wuye is a reasonable person. After Luther explained the situation, he readily gave Wuye a day off and asked her to go home and have a good rest.

Misty Leaf led Luther into the narrow living room. After searching for a while, he found a damaged and yellowed painting in a dusty box.

It is exactly the same as the description of Kiriba, it really looks like a dwarf wearing a small hat.

Kiriba's grandfather said that he was very impressed by this figure, because it was night, seeing the body of Miss Ann floating in the air and following the "dwarf" away, the creepy feeling made him have nightmares for a long time.

Luther stared at it for a long time, then took out the illustrated book that had not been used for a long time and scanned the paintings, hoping that the illustrated book would be useful.

However, the illustrated book also disappointed Luther.

The sprite was not recognized.
