She was eavesdropping while Reiner and Junice were chatting.
However, the elf was too naive and was completely confused, only absorbing a few key words.
She raised her head and asked softly, "Reiner, do you humans know his lost city?"
Reiner nodded and taught Junice everything he knew: "Well, ruins is a general term for lost cities buried underground.
Judging from your reaction, Little Potato, you should have seen this thing before, right? "
"I told you not to call me potato, damn Reiner." Aliana pouted and used her staff to hit him hard. After a pause, she continued, "We have a similar thing in our forbidden land of elves. I saw it from a distance.
My mother said this was a disaster brought upon humanity by the ancient dragons. If the relationship between the two races hadn't deteriorated, the nation that once unified the continent would likely have continued to this day."
"What!" Junice pricked up her ears and came closer. She was particularly interested in this kind of story. "Aliana, tell me more!"
Seeing her enthusiasm, the elf hid behind Reiner in fear, and then muttered to himself, "It's just... a long time ago, there was only one country on the continent, and it was destroyed by the ancient dragons overnight.
I heard from my mother that those dragon space magics moved countless towns underground, and tens of millions of humans died in the dark underground. Their resentful corpses were corroded by the darkness and turned into terrifying skeleton monsters.
They make a creaking sound when they walk, and whenever a child is disobedient, these skeletons will take advantage of the night to snatch the disobedient child away and eat him or her!"
???
Aliana hugged her staff, her pointed elf ears drooped, and she became more and more scared as she spoke.
Apparently, this potato was disobedient when she was a child, and Selena, who was not very good at taking care of children, made up this lie to deceive her.
And Aliana actually believed it for so long.
Junice smiled, gently stroked Aliana's long hair, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, although there are indeed skeletons in here, they usually won't come out unless there are some powerful monsters inside that release them through the magic stone.
And your mother is no ordinary elf, as soon as you see her, even I can explore the ruins, so your mother can definitely kill those skeletons in seconds."
Aliana opened her mouth slightly, walked out from behind Reiner and stood in front of Junice: "Wow, then...then I believe you!"
Ever since Junice had a child, she had been unconsciously radiating maternal energy, and the elf was particularly fond of her.
Of course, Flori, who was left in Daisy's care, would definitely not think so.
Reiner waved to the three people who were fighting in the back: "Come over, we are ready to enter the ruins."
To prevent them from being teleported into the middle of the monsters, Reiner deployed a barrier to protect everyone.
Nora and Martina came running hand in hand.
Then, they put their arms around each other's shoulders and teleported into the ruins together.
One second they were in the forest, and the next second they were swallowed by darkness.
Lenanoura lit a fireball to provide light for everyone.
They were standing in a straight, narrow alley, and the air was filled with a damp and decaying smell.
The stone roads in front and behind are covered with green moss.
The alley is crowded with houses of all kinds on both sides.
The architectural style of this ruin is very different from that of the ruins in Merode. Even after thousands of years, you can still see the prosperity of this city at that time.
Eliana subconsciously hid behind Reiner: "It's...it's dark."
A small ball of light appeared at the tip of her staff, trying to make the surroundings look brighter.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you." Reiner rubbed Aliana's long blue hair.
