Chapter 97
==================
"She is, isn't she?"
"...She seems to be glowing just like us."
"I haven't seen her...what about the one behind her?"
“…It seems not!”
The two stood side by side, still maintaining stiff smiles, and communicated in a low voice through gritted teeth.
Unfortunately, the surrounding environment was too quiet, and Lian Yun inevitably heard their "whispering" conversation.
Obviously, they probably regarded Lian Yun as a member of their tribe because she could "glow" like them.
And the person behind you doesn't shine, so naturally it's not you.
"I really don't want to disturb you, but I think you'd like to know the truth," Lian Yun said softly, afraid of scaring them away. "My name is Lian Yun, and I'm human. So is my companion behind me."
She put her hand on Lina's shoulder, and the latter smiled friendly and waved.
"This is Lina. She has your elven bloodline and she's here to look for her relatives."
The other party has introduced himself, and the two polite and well-mannered elves obviously have to say their names as well.
The girl glanced at the boy beside her, touched the flowers on her temples somewhat bewilderedly, and tugged at the clothes of the man next to her in secret: "My name is Aning, and his name is Keke."
Keke was the first to react, and cautiously pulled Aning back two steps.
Although he was a little scared, he still stood in front of Aning and asked, "You are not from our tribe, how did you get in?"
"Besides..." His gaze fell on Lina, and he said suspiciously, "We elves don't marry outsiders, and you don't have silver hair."
Lina was stunned. She didn't feel good about being suspected, and her tone became anxious: "How could it be! My mother is an orc, and my father is an elf. Don't you really know?"
Lian Yun rubbed her back soothingly, silently reminding her to think about what he had said to her before.
Mia's tribe leader at the time forbade them to intermarry with other tribes. No one knew whether the elves also had such a custom. If the elves did the same, they might not have known of Lina's existence.
Aning and Keke looked at each other, and seeing Lina so anxious, they became a little hesitant.
Aning clung to Keke's shoulders and said, "Maybe we were still young and hadn't heard of it."
Lina took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and said earnestly, "It's okay. I can put my affairs aside for now. My companions are seriously injured. Can you save them?"
The two elves on the opposite side had already seen Luo leaning against the big tree, but they did not dare to approach. After hearing this, they still hesitated and struggled.
Lian Yun continued Lina's words in a more formal tone: "I want to see your leader. I have something important to discuss. If possible, could you lead the way for us?"
Aning hesitated and said, "You mean, you want to see our queen?"
"Yes." Lian Yun nodded seriously. "I am Lian Yun, the lord of Bubu Town. Our town has vampires, dwarves, human magicians, and orcs. Please help inform them. Perhaps the Queen would be interested in meeting me."
Ah Ning listened quietly to Lian Yun's words, glanced at Ke Ke, and whispered, "I've never seen a human come in through the fog. Should we go back and spread the word?"
Keke glanced at the bag in her hand hesitantly: "Our mission is not yet completed..."
"I'll help you!" Lina said quickly, "What do you need to do?"
Ke Ke pursed her lips, unable to say no: "We're going to catch three chickens to eat..."
"I can!" Lina agreed immediately, with a sparkling light in her eyes that made it impossible to refuse.
Aning poked the boy in front of him, but Keke was still struggling: "They are not easy to catch, you can do it..."
Before she finished speaking, Lina stood up holding a little black chicken. The little black chicken was "clucking" like crazy and stretching its neck to try to peck Lina's hand.
So Lina grabbed the little black chicken by the neck instead: "Come on!"
Keke didn't have time to be surprised and subconsciously opened the bag. Lina walked over quickly and threw the little black chicken into the bag by the neck.
Keke quickly closed the bag and looked at the little black chickens that were clucking and running all over the ground in chaos.
"What's wrong?" In the moment he was stunned, Lina had already grabbed a chicken with one hand and lifted it up.
Keke numbly unfolded the bag, waited for her to throw it in, and then tied the bag skillfully.
"Isn't that right?" Lina was a little nervous.
He swallowed, not knowing whether to shake his head or nod: "They are barking and running."
"Just wait a while." Lina said strangely.
Sure enough, the chickens calmed down after a while and lay down together again.
Aning was shocked: "We used to catch them secretly."
If you hold one in each hand like Lina does, and ignore their cries, they will cries for days and nights.
The elves who used to live close to this place couldn't sleep for several days because of this incident.
"How did you do it?" Ke Ke stuttered. Just now, he had been blaming the other party for being reckless...
It seems that he was reckless.
"If you want to know, I can research how I did it." Lina said seriously, "But my partner is really in danger now. Can you help me?"
"Oh, yes!" Aning frantically tugged at Keke, "We'll be right back!"
They ran away lightly with the bag of little black chickens, looking back from time to time.
As expected, the two elves did not make Lian Yun and the others wait too long. After a while, they heard the rustling sound of leaves coming from far away, and more and more shadows in the distant forest.
There was a rustling sound among the branches and leaves, and people were whispering about the sudden visitor, a human guest.
They all had good concealment skills. Except for some elves who intentionally showed up for them to see, Lian Yun could only feel that more and more eyes were being watched, but he could not find the specific location of the other party.
The elves that emerged from the jungle were curious but friendly. When Lian Yun and his companions greeted them, some of them would immediately hide, then look back with their big eyes. Some brave elves would smile back.
Everything went much more smoothly than Lian Yun had imagined.
The elves, at least for now, are not an inherently evil race.
After being the focus of attention for a while, Keke and Aning rushed back with excited smiles on their faces. They ran towards them while saying something, as if they were talking to the elves around them who had not appeared.
"Dear Lord, our Queen has accepted your request for a meeting. Please come with us." Ke Ke, who was assigned the task by the Queen herself, was obviously very excited. She also spoke the Queen's orders in the very formal tone she had just learned.
The two elves were sent to meet human visitors who had not appeared for hundreds of years. One possibility was that the queen intended to give them a warning, and another possibility was that the elves did not have a strict class system and concept.
But seeing Keke so happy, it is obviously a very honorable task. Lian Yun is more willing to believe the latter possibility.
Lian Yun signaled to Lana, who nodded, sheathed the sword, and put away the holy sword.
Seeing them put away their weapons, the atmosphere between the elves and the others suddenly became more relaxed.
"Come with us!" Aning jumped over lightly on the mushrooms and led them to walk across the wetland on the open space.
After walking through this area, the ground was much drier. Walking along a small path, there were lush forests on both sides. Compared with the forests shrouded in poisonous fog outside, this place was obviously much kinder and lovelier.
The atmosphere is also more harmonious.
Luo also regained some consciousness and mobility, and was able to walk slowly while holding Lana's shoulders.
But the burning sensation in his throat still prevented him from speaking.
The fragrant scent of nature around him penetrated his nose, silently soothing his aching nerves.
Compared with the barren land outside, this place seems like a paradise, with wild flowers and grasses stretching as far as the eye can see, and butterflies flying among them. It is a scene that Lian Yun has not seen for a long time.
Compared to here, the outside is simply a post-war wasteland.
Lian Yun then realized that this kind of scenery could be seen everywhere in her world, but it was so rare and precious on this continent.
Lina and the others had never seen it before, and they were extremely curious for a moment.
Even Lanna, who had lived in the main city for a long time and had a calm personality, couldn't help but look around a few more times.
"Ah! What is that!" Lina suddenly pointed at a white fluffy area and exclaimed softly.
She looked closely and said, "It looks like Xiaobai!"
Lian Yun looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a familiar shadow flash by.
"That's a rabbit."
She and Aning said in unison.
This caused Aning to look at her strangely again: "Why didn't Lina know? Do you know?"
Is she really not an elf?
Lian Yun smiled silently without explaining.
Lina raised her voice and said, "Sister knows a lot!"
Aning looked at Lina again.
The other party claimed to have elven blood, but knew nothing about the elves.
That's strange.
Suddenly, Lina's attention was attracted by something else.
She remembered what Sister Lian Yun had just told her: the flying creature is called a butterfly, and her sister often caught butterflies to play with when she was a child.
She couldn't help but try it just now, but they were too fast.
The one in front of me was flying very fast, but it landed on a flower!
Lina stretched out her hand eagerly.
Lian Yun saw that Lina was silent, so she turned around and happened to see Lina reaching out to catch the rapidly flapping insect. It was so fast that she didn't even have time to shout -
“That’s a bee!”
Unfortunately, these words rang out at the same time as Lina's cry of pain.
Lina covered her fingers and looked at Lian Yun with tears in her eyes in disbelief.
Lian Yun felt distressed, but couldn't help laughing out loud.
"This is a bee..."
It was her fault for not noticing that there weren't even any bees outside the forest.
No wonder there is no sweetener like honey.
Aning laughed the loudest, even crying. Lina looked at her with grievance, and she finally stopped laughing: "I didn't expect someone to be as stupid as Keke!"
When Keke was called out, her earlobes turned red.
Yes, he had done stupid things like that.
Having laughed enough, Aning kindly comforted her: "It's okay, give me your hand, I'll treat you."
As she spoke, she suddenly paused: "That's not right. Since you have elven blood, why don't you have the ability to heal?"
He even specially crossed the fog to bring the patient to find the elves.
Lina shrugged nonchalantly: "Maybe... I didn't inherit the right genes."
After all, she is a mixed-race, so it is impossible for her to be lucky enough to inherit all the talents of her parents.
Aning nodded thoughtfully. She had never seen a mixed-race person, so naturally she didn't understand him.
But she took Lina's hand and suddenly froze.
"Were you stung?"
Smooth white fingers, without any wounds or swelling.
"Yeah!" Lina nodded heavily, with a lingering fear on her face. She stretched out her other hand and pointed to the place where she was stung and recovered in a short time. "It's here, but it's healed now."
Her wounds have been healing faster lately, and she doesn't care much about it.
"Okay... okay?!" Aning's eyes widened in disbelief. "Just now, in just one minute, it's already okay?"
Seeing her surprise, Lina finally felt a little proud. She took out the knowledge she had read in the library a few days ago and said, "Yes! I have a lot of white blood cells! That's why I heal super fast!"
The surroundings suddenly fell into extreme silence, as if the trees had stopped shaking.
Lina looked left and right, bit her lower lip, did she say something wrong?
The girl said cautiously, "Aren't you guys? Is it bad that I'm healing so quickly?"
"No..." Aning opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer.
After a long while, he muttered with a frozen expression, "We can only heal others..."
“It can’t heal on its own.”
