Awakening of Rebirth

The current living conditions of the orcs are exactly the same as what the old village head said that night. They have already been split into countless small villages, and they have lived a simple life without contention with the world. Ridi lived a simple and rude semi-primitive life, and the villages did not disturb each other, and occasionally helped each other.

Accompanied by orc friends, the four foreigners were not embarrassed by other orcs, and they unexpectedly approached Wagron step by step smoothly.

Running all the way, the winter is going away, the cold spring has passed, if it is in the south, flowers will already bloom everywhere.But here is different, the more they go north, the worse the weather and environment.

The four of them dug out valuables and exchanged them with the orcs in the villages along the way for thick leather jackets made in a hurry. It didn't fit well, but it was really effective in keeping out the cold.

After Vodo sealed off the border, the orcs were isolated from the world for too long, and they didn't understand the value of those human objects, so they picked out the things that looked pleasing to the eye and kept them, happily sewing them that would be impossible to sew on weekdays. super small warm clothes.

Putting on the new clothes, Jiang Zheng made a joke casually, saying that she felt like a barbarian in the clothes, and the orcs couldn't understand what she said. Seeing the happy little expression, she thought that the human girl should like the new clothes very much. , scratched the back of her head immediately, and laughed honestly, which made her always feel embarrassed that she had bullied an honest person.

It’s just that there is always an end to a certain journey, and the orc who led the way said to them when they said goodbye: “There are four or five days of walking ahead, which is the junction of the two realms where there is no one inhabited. Occasionally there will be giants coming and going. Be careful along the way, friends of foreign races.” Then let it go.

Today's orcs seem to be in a state of disunity. It is impossible to find a leader and organize to fight against the black dragon as they did back then. They still have to walk the road ahead by themselves.

For some reason, Jiang Zheng has always had a feeling of being unable to distinguish dreams from reality recently.

Her current body grew out of the tree of life, and what flowed was the blood of the phoenix. During this period of time, she could feel that her soul was gradually merging with this body, and she even gained the power she once had. own strength.

At the beginning, everyone was most worried about her physical condition, because she had never practiced spells or martial arts, and such a trek was too difficult.Later, it was discovered that she was alive and kicking, and the most worrying thing in the whole team was the only male, the dwarf with small arms and legs.

Every time everyone stopped to rest, he always suppressed himself not to gasp for breath, huddled aside with his luggage in his arms, staring at his eyes, and staring at the direction he was going to go with a gloomy expression on his lips.

Thinking of this little boring person who doesn't talk much on weekdays, if she was just an underage child in the world she lived in before, in fact, even Chang Sheng would not be much older, she would somewhat offend her elder sister. sick.

The moonlight above the head was a bit bleak, and the beating fire light illuminated everyone who was preoccupied.

Jiang Zheng moved towards Baozi, whose eyes wandered, touched his arm with his elbow, and said, "What are you thinking about?"

"Ah?" Baozi came back to his senses and shook his head: "It's nothing."

"nothing?"

"I don't know what's going on at home now." The family has never heard from him, are they worried, or, are they already aware that he was expelled from the college and has disappeared since then?

"I'm homesick..." Jiang Zheng said: "I'll settle the keel problem later on, and we'll be guests at your house, welcome?"

"My family is small, if you don't mind it, of course I welcome it." Baozi said, raised his head and asked, "Jiang Zheng, don't you miss home?"

"Me?" Jiang Zheng noticed that Chang Sheng's gaze was on him, and couldn't help laughing: "I don't have a home to think about. I have no relatives since I was a child. After I grow up, I will change my place of residence in less than half a year. I live alone. I am at ease, and I have no special feelings for anywhere.”

As she said that, she looked at Chang Sheng and said, "What are you hesitating to say, are you also homesick?"

Chang Sheng kept his hands close to the fire to keep warm, and murmured, "Tell me, have Ming Luo and Second Brother received my letter?"

"Not so fast." Jiang Zheng pouted.

Blind on the side said lightly: "Judging from the temperament of the girl from the Feng family, it should have been delivered in more than four months."

***

According to legend, behind the mountains stretching thousands of miles north of Ainota, there lived a beautiful and mysterious race.They use trees as their houses and vines as their roads. They are companions of all creatures in the forest. They are proficient in secret arts and archery. Although they don't like war, they don't allow anyone to destroy their tranquility.

For thousands of years, the Vodo Mountains have been shrouded in thick fog. No matter whether it is three or five travelers or a human army, they either never came back or came back in despair. However, they have experienced the feeling of being shrouded in fog for a few days. There is nothing else to gain.

Voldo is guarded, and for thousands of years, no one has been able to enter.

The last record of elves in various human books was more than 2000 years ago. After that, no one seemed to have seen elves again. The only ones who were isolated from them were the orcs and the north of Wodo. Two families of giants.

Imperial calendar 777, spring.

A little silver-haired girl with a white deer and a hood appeared in the city of Taran, who was out of place in this city.She is dressed in a simple and elegant gauze dress, a white fluffy cloak, a short bow and a small arrow box on her back, her steps are light, and a string of small bells is tied around her white and slender ankles, attracting passers-by with their crisp and melodious ringing gaze.

Someone claimed to have seen, in the light-colored hood, under the cover of the silver hair, looming, seemed to be a pair of pointed ears.

She asked someone about a person's residence, which was a very prominent person in Talan City.

……

"Elf? Are you kidding me?"

"It's not a joke. In the past two months, there have been rumors of elves appearing in many places... It is said that it is a very beautiful, very beautiful silver-haired girl, leading a sacred deer with a holy light, from the north to the Southwest, they are all talking about..." Frange said the exaggerated words with a serious face.

"The more you say it, the more outrageous it is." Tafil shook his head and said, "It's just echoing what others say."

The response was faint, and no abnormal emotions could be heard. This was the most worrying thing.

Frange had been with Tafel in the Xili Fortress. In terms of status, he wanted to call Tafel His Royal Highness. In terms of military rank, Tafel was also one level ahead of him.But in fact, the two came out of the same military academy, and have been together for so many years through ups and downs. They are comrades-in-arms on the battlefield, and close friends when they take off their armor. never changed.

Frange believes that he has followed Tafil for more than ten years, and he is very clear about his character. The more worried he is, the more he likes to act as if nothing happened.

If you have something on your mind, you must have something on your mind.

If it is hard to talk about your mind, diverting your attention is also a good way to relieve the burden of your mind.

"You don't believe it? We've all come to Taran. My younger brother and sister said they saw it with their own eyes. There was a silver-haired girl, about ten years old, carrying a bow, leading a deer, wearing a hood, and a little girl on her ankle. The bell is ringing." Frange said happily, I don't know, I thought he had a crush on some girl: "Do you think it is true that elves from Waldo came to Anota? "

Tafil kept looking at him, and when he finished speaking, he responded, "Sounds good, this kind of dress is probably going to be fashionable in Talan for a while."

"..." Frange rolled his eyes, and said, "Forget it, I don't think you have the heart to talk to me, so I'd better not bother you..." He said, getting up and going out of the room , walked to the door of the room, seeing that Tafil didn't say to keep him, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless, turned around and sighed: "I said you, if you want to treat me as a friend, don't hold back like this all day long, no matter what troubles, someone It’s always good to be together.”

"What can I do?" Tafil waved Frange away, sat in front of the closed window, looked at an inconspicuous potted plant on the closet, and was dazed.

——The royal father who called you in and out didn't take you seriously at all.

——When you were guarding the southwest, he was the one who allowed Lukele to slowly gather power in Taran. When you had done a lot of military exploits and your army was determined, he transferred you away from the southwest and seized your military power.No matter how wholeheartedly you are loyal to him, in the end all your struggles and efforts will not belong to you.

——Even without Lu Kelei, there are still Mingluo and Changsheng, you can't even compete with your younger siblings.

——But I can help you get what you want.

Suddenly, a puff of black and purple smoke came from the flowers and plants, slowly covering him.

"Haven't you figured it out yet? Tafil, you have competitive blood in your bones, and so do your relatives. Lu Kelei is a jackal in the face of power and desire, and Mingluo can't always be the little lamb he is today. One day, like Lu Kelei, he will find ways to strengthen himself and eradicate all opponents, whether you intend to or not, he will not misplace it."

That voice was hoarse and treacherous, as if it came from purgatory, with layers of depression.

"Is this how you fooled Lu Kelei?"

"I help you, so naturally I need your help. I am in a cooperative relationship with you and benefit from each other. You are a smart person. You can tell which of my words is true and which is false. Now my influence here is limited. If you really think that what I said is wrong, you can stop the cooperation at any time, can't you?"

"Heh..." Tafil clenched his teeth and clenched his fists, closed his eyes tightly, and remained silent.

"How? Have you figured it out?"

Tafil was about to respond, only to see that things in front of him returned to normal in an instant.

Suddenly a figure flashed outside the window, and Tafil got up and chased it out. He searched aimlessly for a while, but found nothing.

It can't be an illusion, the monster is hidden, there must be someone he is afraid of... What did that person hear?

He pondered for a long time in the corridor, feeling extremely anxious in his heart, but he didn't show the slightest bit on his face.

Suddenly, a silver bell rang softly in his ears, and someone tapped his left shoulder with his fingertips from behind. He turned around vigilantly, and saw a girl whose head reached his chest, holding a short dagger in her hand. , put it around his neck, with a serious face: "I didn't mean anything malicious, don't shout, or I'll get murderous..." After finishing speaking, he cleared his throat and said, "I'm asking you, Which room does your Highness Tafil usually live in?"

"you……"

At that moment, the soldier who had never shown any timidity on the battlefield in the past, was as dull as an idiot in front of a girl who looked very young.

"Me?" She looked up in a daze.

The four eyes met for ten seconds, the girl came back to her senses first, blushed and took half a step back, whispering: "I'm asking you something..."

"..."

Seeing that the big man in front of her seemed to be stupefied with fright, she quickly put away the dagger and explained, "Don't, don't, don't get me wrong, I'm here to deliver a letter. I have a very important letter. You must hand it to him personally. But the guards outside the door refused to let me in, no matter what I said, they just said: "Trust me and I can pass it on to you." That's why I sneaked in..."

——A silver-haired girl, about ten years old, carrying a bow, leading a deer, wearing a hood, and ringing small bells on her ankles.

Little girl, it is exactly what Frange said.

"Where's your deer?" he asked.

The sudden strange question made the little girl startled: "I... my deer?"

"Tafil, let me tell you, just as I was about to leave, I saw a white deer at the door, it must belong to that little girl! I think it is an elf, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with us coming to Ainota. It's related to..." Frange's excited voice was accompanied by hurried footsteps from far to near, until he saw the girl standing beside Tafil, and then it stopped abruptly.

"You, you are..." The girl couldn't help but widen her eyes, looked at Frange, then at the person in front of her, stretched out her finger in a daze, pointed to the courtyard wall, and said, "My deer, It, it's outside..."

Or maybe, it crashed into someone's heart.

Tafil couldn't help laughing, and said, "Let's talk in the room."

Frange stood not far from the two of them with a dazed face, looked at the backs of the two and murmured softly: "This guy... the smile is not right..."

After striding to keep up, I realized that it wasn't just the smile that was wrong, but that guy's whole person was also wrong.

That Tafil, who never likes to chat with others except for business, and who dares not to speak when he is serious, seems to be a different person in front of this elf who claims to be from Wodo and comes to deliver letters for Changsheng at this moment. .

Throughout the conversation, Tafil maintained a kind smile, and even used a tone that tried hard to be gentle, but couldn't be too gentle. He kept trying to find various topics to talk non-stop. Frange, who was listening, felt very numb, so goosebumps all over his body that he fell off again and again.

The most frightening thing is that the girl unexpectedly cooperated with him. No matter what he said, she accepted it very happily: "Drink", "Okay", "Is it okay? Then I want to eat..."

"drink water?"

"Let's eat some fruit."

"You went to Mokodo to find Mingluo before? How is he doing now?"

"Would you like some water?"

"Just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll let someone do it."

"Chang Sheng, is she okay?"

"Would you like some water?"

"Come on, try the dim sum made by Aunt De."

……

From afternoon to night, she was invited to eat and drink, talking a lot of nonsense, and finally left her at home, stood at the door to watch the servant lead her to the guest room, and told her to take good care of her several times.

Looking at his good brother's stunned expression of new love, Frange shook his head again and again.

"It's a beautiful moon today," said Frange.

"It's okay." Tafil responded.

Frange looked up at the sky, and saw only a few dim sporadic stars, and there was no moonlight at all.

"I usually come to visit you, from the moment I enter the door to the time I go back, you don't even say a word of politeness, but today you pour water and peel the fruit for this wind chime, and you ask people if they drink water a dozen times. What, did you see it?"

"Is it obvious?" Tafil asked back.

Frange said: "It's not obvious enough, you can consider writing it directly on your face."

Tafil smiled without saying a word.

"Don't tell me, you old man believes in love at first sight from a girl's mouth."

"I believe."

"..." Franke said, "She is an elf."

"Nice personality, very cute."

"She just came to deliver a letter, and she will go back soon."

"It's a rare opportunity for her to leave Vodo once, and it's not a big deal to go back after only staying in Talandor for a few days."

"Come on, I think her deer has directly crashed into your heart." Flange stopped trying to persuade her, and only pointed to the letter in Tafiler's hand: "Don't be too preoccupied with Acacia, forget to read it. "

Tafiler opened the envelope without thinking about it and read it. Frange suppressed his curiosity and didn't poke his head to look. He just looked around and pretended to look around.

After a long silence, Tafil handed the letter to Frange and said, "Frange, you are the person I trust the most."

"What's the matter?" Franke was at a loss, looking at the letter in his hand at a loss.

"I burned it after reading it, and it rotted in my stomach."

"Yes!"

"It's very important. You start tomorrow and find someone for me." Tafil went into the room and wrote three lines of small characters, kneaded it into a ball of paper, and stuffed it into the palm of Frange's hand: "Hurry up! Find it within half a year!"

"Yes!"

"Also...Talan will have a big change, you must have your own judgment in everything, don't trust anyone, including me." Tafil said, sighing softly: "This is an order."

Frange couldn't help being silent, until his fists gradually clenched, and then resolutely replied: "Yes!"

After returning home, he read Chang Sheng's long letter from Wodo by the dim candlelight, learned the secret and most of the details of the black dragon's imminent resurrection, burned it with complicated emotions, and slowly calmed Ta Fei The ball of paper that Lese gave him.

In the first two lines above, one line is written with the name of the person you are looking for, and that this person lives in the southwestern area without a fixed place, so it is very difficult to find. report."
