Chapter 114
===================
Lian Yun and Miao An stood up suddenly, looked at each other, and hurriedly followed Lana who had already walked to the door.
Before I even reached the door, I heard a loud shout from inside.
"ah!!"
It's Lina's voice!
The door was not locked and Lana pushed it open easily.
Inside the room, Lina was leaning against the wall, staring at the window opposite with wide eyes.
A monster with a skull face was standing at the window, and a skinny and bony hand had reached in and rested on the window.
For some reason, Lanna recognized it at a glance as the one that had run away.
With one hand behind him, Lanna took three or two steps to Lina, blocking her. He then drew out the holy sword and swung it across the air neatly.
However, the sound of breaking air did not scare away the monster. Its dark eyes were bottomless. It tilted its head and tried to look past Lanna at Lina.
"Lina, are you okay?"
Lian Yun quickly ran to Lina and hugged the little girl tightly.
Lina raised her head, worried: "Where's Luo? Is he okay?"
Lian Yun nodded and comforted her: "I just passed by his room, he is fine."
This time, the monster was coming for Lina.
Realizing this, Lina pursed her lips, secretly encouraged herself to let go of Lian Yun's arms.
She deliberately raised her voice, even though it still sounded a little trembling: "You, you came to see me?"
Lian Yun was stunned.
Lina is talking to a monster?
But suddenly she remembered Lina's profession.
The little girl already has her own profession. She is a monster trainer and has a natural affinity for monsters.
I don’t know what happened, but the skeleton monster actually seemed to understand and nodded at her.
Lina subconsciously wanted to get closer to talk to it, but Lian Yun grabbed her worriedly.
The little girl turned around and whispered in her ear: "Sister, I'm not afraid of it."
She looked at Lian Yun seriously, and the latter slowly let go of her hand.
Lian Yun knew that, just like he had an innate sense of danger, Lina's affinity for monsters was mutual.
She would not allow herself to take risks. Since she could decide, she was sure of it.
So Lian Yun just gave Lana a look, asking the latter to pay attention at all times.
Lina took slow steps, and the monster seemed to know that its every move would make the people in the house nervous, so it stood quietly on the windowsill, waiting for Lina to approach.
Walking to a safe distance, Lina looked at the black hole on the skull face seriously.
"What do you want to see me for?"
The skeleton responded quickly - it retracted its skinny fingers and slowly turned in a direction under everyone's gaze - the direction it came from.
Lina was forced to play guessing game: "Where are you from?"
The skeleton monster nodded slowly, then suddenly raised his arms, opened his mouth and roared.
The people in the room were shocked, and Lian Yun risked his life to rush forward and carry Lina away.
But when they looked closely, they saw Lina holding her forehead and thinking hard, immersed in the word guessing game.
The skeleton also calmed down, retracted its movements, and waited for Lina to guess.
Lianyun: Sorry to bother you.jpg
Lina bit her lower lip: "Where you come from...are there a group of monsters like you?"
Skeleton: “…”
It thought silently for a while, and suddenly jumped off the windowsill when everyone was caught off guard. It jumped in front of Miao An in a few steps, scaring Miao An.
Miao An: “!!”
Before Miao An could react, it stretched out its finger, pointed at Miao An's neck, and then pointed at itself.
Then he walked around the house, making scary faces and roaring sounds as he walked.
Lian Yun: “?”
Lana: “?”
Miao An: “!!”
What did it just do when it jumped in front of me?!
Lian Yun thought about his words and looked at Lina: "It's okay, it's normal to have language barriers..."
"I see!"
Lian Yun; “?”
Lina's serious expression didn't sound like she was joking at all. She walked up to the Skeleton Monster, which had already stopped. "Before I tell you what I understand, I have something to ask you."
"Luo's accident wasn't caused by you, right?"
Everyone was shocked.
And the skeleton monster actually nodded!
However, Lina did not continue asking. Instead, she turned to Lian Yun and the others and explained the meaning of its previous series of actions.
"Just now it pointed at Miao An's throat, trying to say that his role was Luo and it was the bad guy."
The skeleton knew how he appeared to everyone and successfully made Lina understand what she meant.
But Lina was not very happy: "Luo was injured in the orc tribe, so it went in a circle."
"It means that a bad guy is coming. It's the same person who hurt Luo before."
Lian Yun:!
Although I don't know how Lina connected all this information together, this news is enough to make people ignore it.
"Is it true?" Lian Yun said in a deep voice.
"It's true."
Suddenly, a long voice came from the door.
It's the Elf Queen.
"After the fog cleared, some people did try to enter the forest."
The queen stood at the door, raised her chin and looked at the skeleton monster: "It is here to remind us."
The complexity of the forest is not something that can be easily entered just because the fog has dissipated. As the ruler of the Elf Forest, the Elf Queen can see through the changes in the entire forest.
"Eleven trees were cut down in the northern jungle this morning."
The queen lowered her eyelashes, but her long feathery eyelashes could not hide the coldness in her eyes.
They won't come in in the short term, but it's hard to say what they'll do if they accidentally break in one day in the future.
"It came here just to remind you of this?" The Queen looked at Lina and her voice slowed down a lot.
Lina nodded. "We've seen it before. And..."
"And I misunderstood that it was the one that hurt Luo."
The queen shook her head gently: "This kind of monster is very gentle."
Lina: “Huh?”
She remembered her uncles from the orc tribe saying that they were very vengeful and gentle...
She glanced at the skull face. It couldn't be said to be exactly the same, but at least there was no connection.
"It does have a good memory and can remember things that happened decades ago."
"But you must be confusing it with another monster. That monster is about the same size as this one, the only difference is that its face is not a skull, but covered with a thin layer of skin."
"They look very similar, and it's hard to tell them apart without looking closely. But their personalities are very different."
I see……
Perhaps it is because these monsters rarely appear, and only appear once or twice occasionally, and people who come into contact with them piece together their impressions and naturally confuse the two.
"It's actually easy to tell them apart," the Queen said calmly. "Its numbers are small and they act alone, while the latter travel in groups and are quite annoying."
"But," Lina looked at the skeleton monster in confusion, "I didn't know you before."
It wasn't it that did it last time, and now it seems that it was probably trying to warn them, but it was being chased all the way as the murderer.
Being misunderstood once would have been fine, but this time it rushed through the complex forest border at the first opportunity to find Lina and warn them that bad guys were coming.
If Lina had never seen it in her memory, then considering what her grandmother said, maybe it had seen her a long time ago?
The Skeleton Monster seemed excited to hear this.
It stretched out its arms eagerly, "scooped" up some air from the ground, hugged the air, put its arms around its chest, and maintained this posture, shaking it back and forth.
The queen didn't know the inside story, but the others who had heard from Garen where Lina came from were stunned.
Garin said that they had rescued Lina from a group of monsters when they were traveling on business and passed by a forest not far away.
Aunt Xiaoqi said that Lina was deliberately thrown away by the leader.
After listening to their simple explanation and considering its previous actions, the Queen quickly figured out the reason.
"It probably picked up Lina, and then got stolen by those monsters that look similar."
"The reason this monster species is so small is because most of them die shortly after birth. However, skeleton monsters that have become mothers will retain this maternal instinct strongly, and they have a strong desire to protect both their own cubs and those of other species."
It has an excellent memory and remembers Lina's breath firmly. Even after more than ten years, it still hasn't forgotten it.
The moment Lina returned to the grassland, it found Lina.
After understanding the whole story, when Lina looked at the skeleton monster again, she not only lost her guard, but also felt more friendly.
It was the only warm embrace that had given her since she left her mother at birth and before she met Uncle Garin.
"It came to find Lina, but happened to encounter Luo being murdered." Lian Yun suddenly realized.
So it wanted to give a warning, but was misunderstood and had to run away.
Luo is just a blind and injured boy. What kind of hatred or grudge could make those people risk sneaking into the orc tribe to hurt him?
The Elf Queen's voice sank slightly: "It seems that group of people have more than one purpose..."
Lian Yun and Lina looked at each other.
Lina understood and looked at the Skeleton Monster: "Then can you lead us to find those people?"
Sit back and wait for death?
Impossible.
The skeleton monster nodded slightly. Although its face was horrible, it was obvious that it was very happy.
The queen knew they were planning to take the initiative and raised her chin: "Don't worry, leave Luo here. I will definitely heal his throat before you come back."
"Anyone who has something useful from the elves may take it all."
