Chapter 318 Sleeping in a Tent
After learning the shocking secret, it was hard for Morrissey and Sadler not to join the gang.
Become the hero who defeats the God of Darkness?
Morrissey looked at the little elf's confident face and smiled with interest.
Although he is a dark elf, he has no good feelings towards the God of Darkness.
If the Dark God had not tempted the Dark Elf King to fall ten thousand years ago, he would be a happy white elf now.
The Dark Elf had been corrupted by the power of darkness since childhood, fostering a violent temper that often led him to lose his mind and commit cruel acts. To suppress the dark power within him, he spent a fortune every year on exorcism from Ephite.
The anthelmintic tastes too bitter and is not pleasant to drink.
If he were a white elf, he wouldn't have so many worries, and he would have inexhaustible resources. Just thinking about it makes him happy.
However, the God of Fate made him reincarnate as a dark elf, and he could not change his race.
However, although you cannot change your race, you can choose your own stance.
Who stipulated that dark elves must charge into battle for the God of Darkness?
So, when Shu Li asked them if they would like to join the brave team, Morrissey agreed without hesitation.
"No problem, I'll join." He looked at Sadler.
Sadler nodded. "Maintaining peace on the continent is the responsibility and obligation of every magician. As a hero, I have no choice but to do so."
Even the God of Dharma is fighting for the cause of light, so what reason does he have to refuse?
"Great!" Shu Li high-fived happily. "Welcome to join us!"
The others followed suit and applauded, warmly welcoming the new member.
Shu Li was in high spirits after successfully recruiting the dark elves and white magicians into his camp. He took out a bunch of fruits picked from the Fairy Forest and the Elf Kingdom from his storage ring for everyone to eat.
Morrissey took a bite of the juicy romanesco and felt emotional.
It turns out that this is the fruit grown by the white elves, it is indeed different from others.
It’s so enviable that elves and fairies have been eating such delicious fruits since childhood.
At this moment, he very much agreed with Efit and thought he was very far-sighted.
It’s better for the cub to be a white elf’s cub!
The Elf Kingdom is rich in resources, with plenty of food, countless herbs, and the careful care of adult elves. Life there is so blissful.
Shu Li and his four companions did not have enough dinner, so they cooked some food for themselves. The others smelled the aroma of the food, which aroused their appetite, so they had a "midnight snack" together.
After eating and drinking, everyone went into their own tents to rest.
Shu Li put away the cleaned iron pot and touched his slightly overstuffed stomach. Lying down to sleep right away would be bad for digestion. Should he get up and walk around?
"Hmm, delicious." Farm squatted in front of the stove, gnawing on a sea fish he had asked from Amanda, eating it with relish.
Shu Li poked its back with his finger.
"What for?" Farm asked dissatisfiedly after swallowing a mouthful of meat.
It had been hungry all day, and a half-meter-long fish was not enough to fill its teeth.
Shu Li took out a few fist-sized fruits and placed them next to it. "We are all resting. You must protect the camp well."
When Farm saw the fruit, his eyes lit up. He sniffed and said, "There are no monsters around here."
Shu Li said, "I know there are no monsters, but I'm worried about people."
Farm asked, "People? What people?"
Shu Li turned and looked at the dense forest. "Someone with bad intentions."
Although Morrissey said that the first floor had been plundered and there were no treasures left, people's hearts were unpredictable. What if there were veterans lurking in the dark specifically to rob newcomers?
Farm thought Shuli was overthinking it. Its perception range was very wide, and there were no other living people within a thousand meters.
"Just sleep peacefully!"
Even if someone comes, it can be easily solved.
Seeing it eagerly chewing the fish, Shu Li stood up and walked towards the tent. When he was almost at the tent door, he suddenly stopped.
How could he forget?
I just realized my feelings for the Elf King today, and now I have to sleep in the same tent with him!
Shu Li's heart beat faster involuntarily and he stood there hesitant.
After washing up at the river, Kumandi saw Shuli staring at the tent curtain with a troubled look on his face and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Shu Li was startled and turned around and said, "No...it's okay, I forgot to wash my face."
He turned around hurriedly, ran to the river, scooped up some water with both hands, and splashed it on his face to cool his hot cheeks.
The confusion in Kumandi's eyes deepened. He lifted the tent curtain, bent down and went in, only to see the blond man making the bed.
Hearing the noise, the Elf King turned to look at Kumandi and said with a smile, "Are you sleeping in the middle?"
Kumandi:?
Usually he sleeps on the side and Ace sleeps in the middle, why did they change their positions today?
Could it be that he finally couldn't stand Sperian's sleeping posture?
When we were camping in the snowy mountains before, every morning when I woke up, I would see Sperian sleeping soundly with his legs straddled on Ace.
When Ace wakes up, he will carefully straighten Sperian's sleeping position.
Therefore, Sperian never knew how ugly he looked when he slept.
Kumandi pondered for a few seconds, then shook his head and said, "No, I'll sleep next to you."
If he wants to have a good sleep, he better stay away from Sperian!
The Elf King heard his refusal and did not force him.
So Kumandi took off his coat, lay down on the far left side, took out a book, and read quietly while leaning against the pillow.
The Elf King chose the middle seat, took out a book, and flipped through it slowly.
After washing up, Shu Li reluctantly returned to the tent. He mustered up the courage to lift the door curtain and was stunned when he saw Jingjing, the academic master, and the Elf King immersed in reading.
——Are you all so studious?
Noticing that he had entered the tent, Kumandi glanced up and continued reading. The Elf King, on the other hand, closed the book, smiled gently, and patted the empty bed beside him.
"You've been tired all day, come and have a rest."
"...Oh." Shu Li suppressed his pounding heart and tried to act more natural.
Enter the tent, take off your boots and place them by the door, then take off your coat and lie down under the quilt.
After getting into a sleeping position, he turned his head and saw the Elf King sitting and Kumandi reading a book. He couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you guys going to sleep?"
Kumandi said, "Read ten more pages and then go to sleep."
The Elf King lay down and pulled Shu Li's quilt up to cover his neck.
Shu Li: ...
There's no need to be so considerate.
The temperature on the first level of the maze is very comfortable, and a little blanket is more than enough.
Pulling the quilt, Shu Li frowned slightly.
Putting aside his feelings for the Elf King, there was one thing he was more curious about and wanted to know the answer to.
That is... why did the mighty Elf King disguise himself as a human, deliberately meet them, make up a lie about being robbed, and naturally get together with them?
In addition, the Elf King’s instant movement distance is really amazing!
In the past two years, he returned to the Elf Kingdom from the Magic Academy through the Mother Tree, and the King followed him back, even faster than him, without revealing his tracks once.
As expected of the Elf King, he has precise timing and is impeccable.
Kumandi didn't sleep, so he couldn't ask.
Shu Li quietly raised his head and glanced at the book in the black-haired fairy's hand.
What book is he reading so enthusiastically?
Solving the Snow Mountain Maze
Huh?
It’s a book about a snow mountain maze!
Why hasn't he seen this book before?
In fact, before coming to the Snow Mountain Maze, everyone collected a lot of books about the Snow Mountain Maze and bought a bunch of adventurers' notebooks.
I thought I knew enough about it, but as soon as I entered the first floor, I was confused.
All relevant books and notes did not mention that the environment and climate inside the snow mountain maze were different from those in the outside world.
Shu Li thought of a word: a different world.
"Why are the inside and outside of the maze like two different worlds? Do you know?" He lay back on the pillow and asked curiously.
Kumandi said, "I am looking for answers."
Shu Li tilted his head slightly and blinked at the Elf King beside him.
The Elf King is knowledgeable and he must know the reason.
As expected, the Elf King said, "I've read an ancient book that says the Snow Mountain Labyrinth is a training ground created by the Water God himself. Each level has unique scenery, and as long as you pass the test, you can go to the next level."
When Shu Li heard the word "ancient books", she knew that the Elf King was lending books and selling knowledge again.
——He thought he liked reading such incompatible idle books as "The Domineering Magician Falls in Love with Me".
"When we first entered the first floor, I thought everyone had traveled to another world." Shu Li asked tentatively.
The Elf King leaned forward, his head propped up, and lay on his side, facing Shu Li. "You can think of this place as a small world."
"Huh?" Shu Li was surprised.
Kumandi put away his book at some point and listened carefully to their conversation.
After being surprised, Shu Li carefully pondered the words "small world".
Isn’t this similar to the secret realm in cultivation novels?
Therefore, their entry into the snow mountain maze this time was equivalent to entering a secret realm with nine floors.
"The gods are truly powerful..." Shu Li sighed, "They can easily create a small world."
"Only the Water God can create a small world." said the Elf King.
"Why?" Kumandi asked.
The Elf King frowned and said, "Water is the element of origin."
Shu Li immediately understood.
Water is the source of all things and the basic element that makes up the world.
Where there is water, there is life.
It is not surprising that the water god created a small world.
Since it is a secret place, does the speed of time flow the same as outside?
For example, it is night outside the cave, but day inside the cave.
At the same latitude and in the same period, the two are completely different.
Shu Li asked the doubts in his heart.
The Elf King pondered and said, "There are indeed differences in time. Each floor is different. The further down you go, the faster time flows."
Shu Li opened her mouth slightly. "Could it be that I've spent a whole year in the maze, but only one day has passed in the outside world?"
The Elf King looked at his surprised expression and chuckled, "The time difference between the first floor and the outside is twenty-four hours. The time difference between the second floor and the outside is doubled. And so on. By the ninth floor, the time difference between the outside and the inside is ten years."
In other words, if you spend ten years on the ninth floor of the maze, only one year may have passed outside.
Kumandi said, "Our map only goes up to the seventh floor."
No one has entered the ninth level in ten thousand years, and it is impossible to confirm whether it is really a ten-year difference.
Why is Ace so sure?
"What is the name of the ancient book you are reading? Do you have it with you?" Kumandi asked very curiously.
Shu Li was stunned and looked at the Elf King nervously.
Does this so-called "ancient book" really exist?
The Elf King fumbled with the storage ring on his finger for a while, then took out a somewhat worn book and handed it to Kumandi.
Shu Li was surprised. There actually was an ancient book!
Kumandi took the ancient book and glanced at the other party's fingers. When he saw a familiar storage ring, he was stunned.
When did Ace ask someone to forge an ancient Ota ring?
The imitation was very realistic, almost identical to Sperien's ancient Ota Ring.
Um?
Exactly the same!
Kumandi couldn't help but narrow his eyes, thinking.
