"!"
Elsie opened her eyes and found herself in a warm mountain forest. She took a few steps, and the pain in her body disappeared.
Weren't we fighting Allen just a moment ago?
What place is this?
"Narrator?" Elsie tried calling out, but the narrator did not respond.
She clenched her fists, but they were limp and had no strength.
My strength has vanished!
Including the armor he was wearing!
He was now wearing fur clothes that made him look like a wild man.
"Huh? Even magic can't be used..." Elsie exclaimed in surprise. She could clearly sense the magical energy in the world, but she couldn't mobilize it!
It felt as if this was reality.
"roar!!!"
A loud bang echoed through the forest, and what appeared before Elsie was a ferocious giant bear!
Her muscles instantly stiffened, and she could no longer move an inch, just like when she first met Keomi in the illusion.
Natural enemy! You'll die!
This time... I really have no power to resist!
The giant bear ran with a deafening roar, and Elsie stared wide-eyed, unable to even breathe for a moment!
I clearly haven't figured out the situation yet!!!
"Get down!!!"
"call out--"
As a sound rang out, a flaming arrow instantly tore apart the giant bear's head. The bear's mangled body moved a few steps before finally collapsing in front of Elsie.
She stared intently at the giant bear before her, then turned back to look at the boy bathed in the sunlight of the forest.
The boy, holding a longbow, was looking at her with curiosity.
"Are they children from a nearby tribe?" The boy with the bow touched his bundle, took out a piece of candy, smiled, squatted down, and handed it to Elsie: "Here you go."
Elsie took the candy, but was still shocked by what had just happened.
Without power or narration, she felt utterly alone for the first time.
"Were you startled?" The boy patted Elsie's head and smiled. "My name is Tilan, and I'm one of the heroes who will slay the Demon King!"
"Do you know the way home? The forest is very dangerous!" Tilan said worriedly.
Elsie shook her head. Suddenly, she remembered that she seemed to have heard the name before, but she couldn't recall when.
"Oh, that's troublesome." Tilan seemed distressed that Elsie didn't know the way home.
"How about this, I'll take you to see the captain, he'll definitely have a solution."
“In short…” Tilan frowned as he looked at the gray wolves that had emerged from the woods. “Staying here is not a wise decision.”
...
In a daze, Elsie opened her eyes again. She couldn't control her feet and followed Tilan until they walked out of the woods and greeted the dawn.
As she gazed at Tilan's face, she felt increasingly certain that she had seen him before!
In the distance, there was a cluster of tents, which looked like the gathering place of some adventurer group. The mercenaries on guard were waving to Tilan.
"Hero... Tilan... Demon King..." Elsie repeated these words in her mind, wondering if she had transmigrated like in a novel.
Damn it, what's with this second time travel?!
"Hey! Tilan, where did you kidnap this child from?" a mercenary laughed as he drank. "This isn't a place for her to play house."
"Haha..." Tilan scratched his head and laughed it off.
The mercenary didn't make things difficult, simply shaking the bottle and saying, "One tonight!"
"Next time for sure!" Tilan's expression seemed to say, "Next time is not certain."
In the simple camp, Elshir can see dwarven blacksmiths wielding hammers and dark elves practicing archery.
There were also some elves who were gathered in the tent reading books or writing down their observations. When they saw Elsie watching them from outside, they arrogantly got out of bed and drew the curtains!
“They like quiet,” Tilan said to Elsie with a smile, seemingly trying to be considerate of her feelings.
In the distance, a young girl saw Tilan and hurried over, panting, "Tilan! They're fighting again!"
"?" Elsie looked at Tilan with a puzzled expression.
Tilan covered her eyes and smiled helplessly: "Let's go take a look."
...
The blur before my eyes skipped over all the previous processes in an instant, and I was suddenly transported to an open space!
There was a group of people with nothing better to do drinking and watching the two fighting in the arena.
Inside the arena, dust and sand were repeatedly kicked up as two burly men engaged in a duel.
But it seems the taller man is gaining the upper hand?
"Hey! Genna, is that all you've got?" The tall man extended his hand to the other man and laughed, "If that's all, then Leisa will have to marry someone else."
El, standing on the periphery, looked at Tilan curiously and asked, "Who is Leisa?"
"The eldest daughter of the Flower Sea Tribe chief, and Gena's first love..." Tilan suddenly remembered that Elsie was still young, and changed the subject, saying, "Oh! Is it inappropriate for me to tell you this?"
“No, it’s perfect!” Elsie gave a thumbs up with both hands.
"..." Tilan was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head awkwardly and laughed, "Why do you talk to Tilan like that? If Tilan wasn't unmarried, I would have thought you were his daughter."
Elsie smiled and looked down. The matter of her ancestor's daughter just didn't seem right... sigh?
"!" Elsie suddenly stared at Tilan, as if she understood something.
"Tilan! The Longbow Warrior!?"
As Elsie exclaimed, everyone around immediately turned to look. Tilan quickly covered Elsie's mouth and retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not that famous!"
"They call him a hero, but there are many heroes on the continent. Anyone who can fight back against the demons is a hero." An old mercenary looked at Tilan and laughed, "Tilan, even children know about your romantic escapades!"
"It seems that your romantic history is more likely to be recorded in history books than your military exploits."
"Hey! Tilan, why are you back so early today?" The tall man in the arena held down Gna with one hand and waved at Tilan with the other.
"This child is..."
...
Elsie's vision gradually blurred, and when it returned to normal, it was nighttime, and everyone had already entered the tent.
Sure enough, I was jumping through time, and it was an uncontrollable time jump!
"Is that so?" The tall man paced inside the tent, then said to Tilan, "So this child is also a survivor from some nearby tribe?"
“What a pitiful child…” A burly man with a big beard, holding a book, pushed a cup of hot milk toward Elsie.
“Well, Tilan, how about letting her stay at the camp for now?” Tilan suggested to the tall man.
As El looked at the helmeted man whose face was unknown, he realized that he had encountered... his ancestor.
