Chapter 69 Sixty Nine
"We met her in the underground prison of the Demon King City. To be precise, it is her soul..." Lin Tianyin looked at the elf whose emotions suddenly became extremely excited, and said calmly, "She has passed away long ago, the soul Chained in the dungeon and unable to rest in peace. We destroyed the handcuffs and liberated her soul from it. After that, she entrusted us to bring the necklace back to her father... Now that Ophelia promised, It must be done."
The elves who surrounded Lin Tianyin were shocked by Lin Tianyin's narrative. They were stunned, and involuntarily slowly retracted their bows and arrows ready to fire. Some of the elves looked bewildered at the one headed among them.
Jolteon and Kane were equally astonished. They had never expected this situation. The dark green haired elf also slowly lowered the bow in his hand after hearing Lin Tianyin's words, and took the necklace in a daze.
The elf bent his long fingers, and rubbed the top of the gemstone that hadn't been dimmed by the passage of time. The hostility and hostility he was carrying finally gradually receded.
"...I knew that this was the result, but when I learned about it, I still..."
The dark-green haired elf showed a sad expression, but he soon calmed down. He carefully put away the necklace, changed his hatred, and looked back at Lin Tianyin and nodded: I apologize to you, please come with me, our friend."
Did you become friends all at once? ! Even Lin Tianyin who was mentally prepared could not help being shocked by this development. The dark green-haired elves ordered the others to put away their weapons, and then motioned Lin Tianyin to follow them.
Kane and Jolteon followed the team in silence, probably wondering why didn't they take out the necklace earlier. Although the elves are arrogant and paranoid, and they look down on humans, they know how to be grateful and rewarded. Seeing that Lin Tianyin liberated Ophelia’s soul, he did not monopolize the secret treasure of the Elf race because of greed, and loyally returned Ophelia’s relics, so he promised them to see the patriarch and forgive them. The teenager who stabbed their companion.
The elf is called Rufus, he is Ophelia's elder brother, and he is an elf prince in terms of identity. But Lin Tianyin always feels that these two elves are really different. It's not about the relationship between looks and temperament. If you pay careful attention, Rufus's voice is soft and sweet, but his personality is that kind of unsmiling type. Rufus asked a few words about what Ophelia had said in the end, and then he didn't speak any more.
If they didn't fall into the belly of the sea monster, and didn't enter the Demon King City to meet the fairy princess Ophelia, how would they enter the village of the elves? Lin Tianyin always feels that Mirona is not the kind of Mary Sue she imagined...Although she is very popular, it is impossible for her to let the elves unconditionally let them in by her own charm. I really want to know how the original author made up the story... Although many of the plots seem to be illogical, they can actually find excuses to make things happen. This is really a skill...
However, it is meaningless to speculate on the strange brain holes of the shark roe. Lin Tianyin felt that he should focus on the things in front of him. No matter what it is, there is always a solution, right?
Rufus took a group of people into the real fairy forest. This place is just as described in the legend, as if you have come to a fairyland. Nowadays, what kind of language is used to describe its beauty is also superfluous, and the human landscape is really not enough compared to here. However, Lin Tianyin doesn't envy this kind of place. The elves with racial superiority, regardless of male and female, look very handsome. The beautiful scenery here is a place suitable for retirement and seclusion. But for Lin Tianyin, it would seem rather boring. She still likes lively cities. Although noisy but full of human touch, she is such an ordinary little person.
Probably the relationship between humans and elves seems to have deteriorated very seriously. Lin Tianyin clearly felt the hostility and vigilant gaze from the surroundings along the way. But because his group looked like Rufus' guests, they did not encounter interference. In short, everyone came to the elven patriarch’s wooden house smoothly, where Rufus stopped.
"Please wait here first. Don't walk around randomly. If you do anything wrong, you will be shot by our soldiers immediately."
"Understood, we will follow the rules." The prince nodded politely. In fact, this is a totally unnecessary warning. When all of them entered this forest, all the weapons and luggage were confiscated by the elves, saying that they would only return them when they left.
"I will report this to the patriarch, and you will soon be able to see your companions." Rufus narrated calmly, then opened the shutter and bent over and walked into the wooden house.
After Rufus left, Jolteon immediately turned his head and looked at Lin Tianyin, with a somewhat complicated expression.
Lin Tianyin could almost guess what he was trying to say, so she immediately spoke out before Jolteon spoke: "In addition to looking for the Elf King to make the Seal Staff, I also came here to return the Elf Princess’ relics. I'm so sorry to tell you."
A fool could hear that Lin Tianyin's words did not mean anything to apologize. In fact, she did not need to apologize. After all, this was an agreement between her and the fairy princess, and there was no need to tell others. Jolteon on the opposite side was silent for a moment, but he still looked at Lin Tianyin's eyes very seriously and asked aloud, "So...Miss, do you have anything else you would like to tell me?"
"You will know when necessary." Lin Tianyin bowed to him. Her attitude was very courteous, but Jolteon felt a certain distance.
Jolteon stared at the girl in a daze. He still didn't understand why the girl kept her distance from him so deliberately, as if she didn't want to have deep friendship with him. why? Did you do it wrong? Why treat yourself like this...
"Miss Shanoya..." Jolteon hesitated for a moment. He looked down at the ground, frowned slightly, and finally couldn't help but speak, "Do you...do you hate me?"
"Your Highness——!" Kane, who has been silent next to him until now, his sense of presence has become almost transparent, finally said, but even at this moment he doesn't know how to speak to his Highness, and in the end he can only turn his spearhead. Lin Tianyin reprimanded angrily, "Since this is the case, why didn't you tell us in the first place?!"
"Because I am just a village girl from an unknown mountain village." Lin Tianyin looked at these two people and answered neither humble nor overbearing, "And you and you, you are noble nobles. Even if your Highness says our relationship is right Wait, I can't treat you like a normal companion. I will tell your Highness everything you need to know, but there is no need to talk about some things that are not so important at the moment. Of course, if you want to ask Whatever, I will answer all of them truthfully...if you want to know."
"..."
Jolteon and Kane stared at Lin Tianyin blankly. It is true that the girl's words seemed very respectful, but Jolteon felt his chest feel stuffy. No... this is not what he wanted. He wanted to be closer to her. He found that even though he was treated so indifferently, he was more attracted to her.
Why is the distance so far?
...Then shorten the distance yourself.
After a moment of silence, Jolteon suddenly put away the expression, and renewed a smile very quickly, staring at the girl in front of him as if nothing was wrong, and said: "Then what I want to ask is, how does Shanoya think of me? ?"
"..."
This question made Lin Tianyin and Kane stunned at the same time. Kane did not expect that his Royal Highness would ask such a question, which made him feel a panic. Unsurprisingly, Jolteon was satisfied to find that the pupils of the girl in front of him shrank a little, as if he was also frightened, and the whole person seemed at a loss.
"I... Your Highness..." The girl looked around at a loss and began to fiddle with her fingers anxiously.
Then in Jolteon's gaze, Lin Tianyin seemed to finally figure out how to answer, and deliberately avoided his gaze and replied: "His Royal Highness, you are a very amazing person...I respect you very much."
Very formulaic and perfunctory answer, as Jolteon expected, so the young prince smiled slightly, stepped forward and gently pressed her shoulders, following the way in a very gentle tone: "No, I will not It’s not about this... What I want to know is what you think of me, Miss Shanoya. Or... Do you hate me?"
"...!!!"
As Jolteon expected, the girl who was still absent-minded suddenly took a breath. She suddenly raised her head, widened those beautiful apricot eyes, and looked at him incredulously.
Kane looked at Jolteon in amazement. He realized that his Highness today seemed completely different from usual. What happened? Why would you suddenly ask an ordinary girl such a question? ! Even if they need her power to save Farus Big 6, this situation is really unreasonable!
"No... nothing!" Lin Tianyin shook his head in a panic and denied it, and looked a little incoherent just like Prince Jolteon had remembered, "There is no such thing! Your Highness is fine! How could I hate you? ...How could anyone hate you!"
It was the same reaction as imagined...It's so cute...Jolteon has a faint smile on his face, looking at the girl in front of him more and more lovingly, resisting the urge to hug her at this moment. He found that he seemed a little strange now...but it didn't matter.
"If you don't hate it, do you like it?"
"..."
The girl was stunned again, but at this time she seemed to have realized something, so she immediately looked away again, appearing to be a little perfunctory with a dry smile: "This, of course! I like to wear like all your people. and you!"
"..."
Sure enough, I was not fooled. Jolteon thought with regret, but he quickly laughed again, nodded to the girl, patted her on the shoulder lightly, and said, "That's really touching. I will remember every word you say, Miss Shanoya... …Ah, then do you want to know how I feel about you?"
...Something wrong, very wrong.
Lin Tianyin looked at the prince with a very gentle smile in front of him, not knowing why he felt an unusual sense of disharmony.
What is going on... The prince is so strange now! Lin Tianyin instinctively felt that he absolutely couldn't agree at this time, but even worse things would happen if he refused him... How should she answer? ! After all, why did he suddenly become like this? ! Is he such a person in the original book? !
Lin Tianyin turned his help-seeking gaze to Kane, but she found that the loyal knight also looked at his Highness with astonishment. It seemed that he was aware of what was wrong with the prince.
"I..." No, she really doesn't want to know! I always feel like I can't look back once I answered!
