gems and stars

That night, Evna stayed in this ancient castle under the leadership of State.According to State, the castle actually belongs to him, and the castle will only open its doors automatically when the real owner arrives.

During the day, Stat took his hand and visited from the hall to the attic on the steeple. Behind the ornate doors, there were rooms full of freshness for Ivner.One room is filled with paintings of all kinds, another room is neatly filled with decorations from all over the continent, and some are just ordinary but beautifully decorated bedrooms.There are no more moving dolls in the piano room that Evner once peeked at, and they are quietly placed in a corner of the room.

When I arrived at the attic of the minaret, the orange red of the afterglow covered the distant sky, and the wind blew in through the pointed arched windows, taking away the thin sweat that Ivna had appeared due to exercise.The hands of the two kept holding each other, although there was a sticky feeling, they did not let go.

Start smiled and bent down to straighten Ivna's wind-blown hair, then hugged him on his knees, and sat on the edge of the window, with most of his body hanging outside.Ivner was a little surprised, and subconsciously swayed his feet in the air, and there was a green grass underneath.

Start hugged him tighter: "Be careful, although I cast a spell, be careful not to fall." After a pause, he said, "Do you like this?"

"I like it." Evner turned back and smiled at him. In the past when she was with State, Evner was not stingy with smiling, but it was the first time to see his smile up close in reality. I still felt my heart speeding up a bit. Ivner's smile was very pure, like an innocent child, like the brightest star in the sky.He sighed, and put his chin on Evner's head: "Evner, I'm Starter."

"I know."

"Actually, I was originally a human, but because of the sapphire I absorbed last time and the purple gem this time, I changed back from a puppet."

"So you felt what I said to you and what I did to you in the past?" Evner's voice sounded a little nervous.

"I didn't feel it at the time."

"Oh." Evner replied with some frustration.

"However, these have become my memories now. I know that Evner likes to tell me stories when I can't sleep. I know that Evner likes to take me to the lake to see the stars. I also know that Evner likes to hug me. .About Evner, as long as I am by your side, I know everything."

In fact, the time that Start was not with Ivner was very little, and Ivner liked to have this silent friend with him all the time.

In this way, Evner became happy again.He didn't feel angry that the bits and pieces of his life or even his privacy were suddenly known by another person, but he was happy because his past actions were not only related to him.He had been alone for too long, longing for a warm response from others.

Evner began to admire the distant scenery, and said from time to time: "That cloud is really beautiful." "Is that the direction we came from?" "I like that tree." This performance made Stat a little dissatisfied Pinched the flesh on Ivna's waist: "Ivna, don't you wonder who I am? Don't you want to know how you came here?"

"Then tell me. I'm afraid you don't want to say it." Starr met Ivner's bright eyes, and then he lost all grievances, and began to talk, "I was originally a demon prince, but because For some reason the soul turned into seven pieces, one fell into the puppet you made, and the other six were sealed in a magic gem. Every time I got a gem, the time I became human increased by four hours , Only by collecting all the gems can I become a real person. And you were brought here in the middle of the night when I became a human."

Evner nodded knowingly: "Is the Starter still a puppet tonight?"

"Yes, when the sun goes down, I will become a puppet, but I will still be conscious. Ivna doesn't have to worry about a single person."

When the dark blue completely occupied the sky, Starter turned into a poorly made puppet.After washing, Evner held the puppet in his arms as usual, and curled up on a big and soft bed that he had never experienced before.The moonlight shone through the window on his pale golden hair and fair face, and he seemed to sleep extraordinarily soundly tonight.

The next day's breakfast was settled in the spacious restaurant on the first floor. The dishes were very rich but came from nowhere.After Ivner woke up, Start took human form, sat at the head of the table, served him attentively, or handed him milk or picked a strawberry.Evner was full, and he found that Starter didn't seem to have eaten a few bites, so he put a few pieces of fruit into the other's bowl with some embarrassment.

Seeing this, Start put it in his mouth bluntly, and Evner was stunned for a while with his elegant posture.He smiled and rubbed Ivna's head with his hands: "We are leaving in the afternoon. The next gem is in the Elven Forest."

But Evner didn't respond for a long time. Start lowered his head slightly in doubt, staring into Evner's blue eyes: "What's the matter? Is Evner unwilling to be with me?"

"Of course not." Evner hurriedly shook his head when he heard what Stat said, then lowered his head and murmured, "Star is so beautiful in real life, really like a star."

After packing up a little in the afternoon, Evner carried a small backpack and held a puppet and walked eastward. The Elven Forest was in that direction.In order to cherish the time when he could become a human, Start turned back into a puppet and stayed obediently in the arms of the little master until nightfall. He came out to help make fire and set up camp, and guarded against the attacks of wild animals to protect Ivna.

After walking for two days and one night, the two finally arrived at the outskirts of the elf forest.Compared with ordinary forests, the air in this large forest is obviously much purer. When it gets dark, you can actually see clusters of green light floating among the forests, which are small life coming out of plants.The elves have always been xenophobic on the mainland and look down on the greedy desires of other races, not to mention the existence of black magicians and demons that even humans are afraid of.

As soon as Evna and Starter in human form entered the forest, they were surrounded by green light groups, preventing them from going any further, while waiting for the arrival of elf soldiers.

The first thing that came was not the orderly steps of the soldiers, but the brisk steps of a woman, and the crisp voice: "Nubis, let me take a good look at these two foreign guests." Side dissipated, but not far away.This is a beautiful elf woman, with long red hair just above her shoulders, a few strands were pulled out and braided behind her head, and her dark green eyes were bent into two crescent moons, which looked cute and cute.

While the two were looking at the woman, the other side was also looking at them.Her eyes froze when Evner glanced at Start. Even Ivner, who was not very good at things like feelings, felt that something was wrong, and subconsciously grabbed a corner of Start's clothes.At this moment, the guards from the Elf Forest finally arrived. They first bowed to the woman, and called out respectfully, "Your Highness Princess." Then they approached the two menacingly.

"Wait, these two are our respected guests, and they deserve warm hospitality." The princess said.

Although the guards were puzzled, they didn't say much, and surrounded the two of them and walked deep into the forest under the leadership of the princess.

The hands that Evner and Start held in the dark never parted even when they reached their destination.This is a rare open space in the forest.Although the forest blocks most of the moonlight and starlight, and there is no dazzling artificial light, the lights of fireflies and elves basically illuminate every corner of the land.There are a lot of musical instruments in the center of the open space, and fresh fruits are placed on the tables around it. From time to time, elf girls who seem to be dressed in costumes laugh and run past, and then disappear into the forest.

A lively dance party is about to begin.

"Take the two of them down to rest." The elf princess said sternly to the guards, and then said with a smile to Evna and Start: "Please be sure to attend the rare ball tonight." Before the two could react, the princess Then they left, leaving them confused to follow the guards into a chic hut.After the guards explained the start time of the dance and some precautions, they were unwilling to monitor them and returned to their jobs.

"Start." There was only a kerosene lamp in the room illuminating the field of vision with weak light, and Evner seemed to be staring at Starter's face calmly, but there was a trace of uneasiness in his voice: "Should we what to do?"

Start rubbed the top of Ivna's head habitually when he heard the words: "The gemstone we are looking for is in the necklace on the princess's neck. But because of the nature of the necklace, there is no way to directly absorb it, so we have to find a way."

"Well. The future really looks like it's getting more and more difficult."
