Warhammer: I, Bartor Farmer

Chapter 23 Elena's Past (2)

Elena leaned against the sentry tower under the moon and slowly told the story. When she was in her hometown, that is, in the forest of Athel Loren, she was also a different kind. Will turn into a forest spirit to accompany her, Elena's parents died before she was conscious of it, because of the few diplomatic behaviors of the wood elves.

Because the soul did not return to the forest, many elves even felt that Elena's parents were taken away by one of the chaos gods, and because they never returned to the forest, Elena became a A rare orphan among the famous wood elves.

After hearing this, Roel couldn't help showing sympathy on her face. After all, it should be difficult for her to live alone...

And Elena is still as strong as ever, she used the following stories to express the character of the wood elf, she learned to use a dagger to cut the skin of adults who mocked her, and used traps to trap those peers who treated her badly. In a population with a small number of elves, she successfully expressed her specialness.

Then, she was ostracized even more seriously.

And she has a strong curiosity, and she will go to places that other wood elves are unwilling to go to eliminate dangers in advance. She is very skilled. Although she can't keep up with the oldest elves, she is also the elf who becomes the stalker the fastest.

She had no relatives, and soon she felt that the dense forest was better than the company of any creature, but the only existence she could still call relatives was an ancient wood spirit.

The wood spirits are transformed from the seeds planted by the ancient sages, and they are also the consciousness of the Athel Loren forest. However, this group of kind big tree people has gradually become more extreme in character during the long period of erosion by the wind of magic, and they have begun to love fighting.

Most elves are afraid of them, only Elena is rarely afraid of danger due to personal reasons, until one day, she foolishly approached an ancient wood spirit, that powerful individual was communicating with the forest spirit beside it So much so that he didn't warn Elena to leave immediately.

Fortunately, its long life prevented it from falling into all kinds of messy emotions like other wood spirits. Instead, it began to communicate with Elena with great interest.

Soon they got to know each other, and the wood spirit would tell Elena many secrets of the old world, and mentioned that it knew the vitality of this world from the oak of the age, and would also teach Elena how to talk to trees, using A tool of living wood shaped by one's own will.

And Elena will listen to those great battles and the fate of each race like a student, and then go back with a vicious tongue. She will also show her talent in changing trees, for example, her longbow is made by herself of.

But the good times didn't last long. Elena strayed into the forbidden area of ​​the elves during a mission, and witnessed an important ceremony that could not be discussed with others. Then Ariel and Orion gave Elena the death sentence at the same time.

Although Roel asked inappropriately at this moment. "What did you do?" But in view of the elf girl's murderous eyes, he still swallowed this question back to his stomach.

Soon, in a large-scale chase, Elena was captured, and this huge forest didn't have a shred of land where this young man lived.

It seems that as long as she dies and turns into the spirit of the forest, her "sin" will dissipate. When Elena closed her eyes, waiting for her soul to return to the forest, listening to the chirping voices of the elves, they even questioned Elena's Does the soul dissipate in the maelstrom like her parents, instead of returning to the forest.

Fortunately, before the executioner's blade fell, it was a gigantic wood spirit that saved Elena, and it was also her teacher.

The wise ancient wood proposed to Ariel a redemption plan for Elena that she could not refute, and paid a lot of her own things, and this incident also made Ariel start to pay more attention to the wood elves' diplomatic plan.

As a result, Elena came to Bretonnia, the country of knights.

Before Elena left, it broke off its own branches, a total of 8, and told Elena to insert them into the ground to bring you back to life in a crisis.

After that, the old tree fell into a deep sleep.

Elena rarely said words of thanks. It was the first time in her life that she said thank you when leaning on the trunk of her teacher's tree, and then hurriedly left the forest to do all kinds of things that would be considered crazy in the eyes of the wood elves. things...

To this day, the eight branches that protect her have all been buried in the soil, and every time it brings spiritual help in averting danger, Elena becomes more dependent on that branch.

At this moment, she was completely lost, but soon she saw it again. Today, she feels that she has only truly grown up, and she can even share such things with others...

And Roel rubbed the tip of his nose, he didn't know how to reply at the moment, was it comfort, or something else?
He is like a fool at the moment, just opening his mouth. "Would you like brandy? Everyone likes to get drunk in this situation."

Elena rolled her eyes. "Do you think everyone is a booze in Bordeaux!?"

Roel said seriously. "Of course, everyone is. The Imperial scholar once said that you can live without white bread, but you can't live without golden ale."

Elena cursed. "You short-lived ghosts have a short lifespan and little knowledge."

"In the forest of the wood elves, we all drink wine made from dew, and your wine is heaven and earth."

Roel tilted his head. "That's right, then I hope to have a taste one day, my lord Mistaker."

Elena used her slender fingers to help adjust the position of Roel's collar before returning. "Fix your clothes first, Mr. Farmer."

The two were chatting under the moonlight, and the second half of the night today was also quiet. Only at this moment, the long and terrifying night was no longer so crazy.

When the light of the lighthouse shines steadily on the coastline, it is unknown how many sailors have been brought back home safely through their efforts.

When they went back to rest the next day, the monks at this moment did not continue to meditate with their eyes closed and write scriptures. Instead, they came with a man in red clothes and a mule.

"Every night watchman, he is the merchant Malintaqin. He has brought important information. Undead have begun to appear in the Chalons Forest in the west. We need a person to station there."
