"Miss Danister, don't leave in a hurry. I want to take Emilia to the forest elves in a while to transfer the umbilical cord qualification to Emilia. Luvia will also go with her.
Are you going too?"
Shade sent out the invitation. The red-haired girl hesitated and looked in the direction of the city:
"It's okay. Flora often goes out recently. I finally got out once and I'm not in a hurry to go back."
"Can I come along?"
Agelina, who was holding the cat, asked from the side. Although she was holding the cat, her presence was still weak at this time.
Danist looked at her appearance suspiciously, and Shade explained about the relic. The well-informed librarian also knew about the [Trembling Contract], but he was just curious about what happened to the little princess of Delarion.
She would encounter such a dangerous thing, but she quite agreed with Agelina's willingness to challenge herself, and the little compliment made the little princess very happy.
Shade also agreed to let Agelina follow. After all, if she just stayed bored on the boat, it would be difficult for Agelina to make any changes within the five-day time limit.
After not seeing each other for more than two months, little Lianna's body shape has not changed at all. Shade found that this little unicorn seemed to have never grown up since he first saw it in the Randall Valley at the beginning of this year. Then he realized that he was alone.
The growth cycle of the horned beast is also very long. It has only been half a year, and not much has changed.
The white little beast was waiting for everyone in the forest. Of course it knew Shade, and it was very happy to see him coming, and then it heard the same familiar cat meow.
And Agelina found that the little unicorn didn't seem to like her very much, and wouldn't let her get close to her after this meeting. When the group of people headed deep into the jungle, she told this story very sadly.
Emilia, the elf blushed and glanced up and down at her friend:
"Agelina, you can't be with Shad."
"Oh, what are you thinking? Of course I am still a pure girl."
Although the little unicorn for some reason would rather be near the "impure" Luvia than Agelina, at least it still looks very happy.
Emilia was originally a little nervous because she was going to go with Miss Danister, but seeing that her eighteen-year-old appearance didn't seem to be a deterrent, she gradually relaxed and excitedly stood side by side with little Lianna.
As they walked, they would discuss the autumn scenery in the forest with Agelina who was walking behind them from time to time.
Soon the group entered the forest area where they could not get out. In order to prevent everyone from getting separated here, Shade also asked everyone to get closer. When they successfully arrived near the elf girl's tree house, Emilia
He screamed in surprise, and then walked forward quickly:
"Chocobo! And it's a baby chocobo!"
The little yellow chocobo was standing next to the bushes, with its butt and tail facing the direction of the group of people. It had its head buried, not knowing whether it was looking for pine cones under the dead leaves or looking for insects to eat. When it heard the footsteps, it plucked it out.
He stepped forward and looked back at Emilia, then continued busy with his own affairs without any warning.
And when Emilia got closer, two more adult chocobo heads appeared from the grass with a whoosh, one with yellow feathers and one with blue feathers.
They looked at the approaching person warily, and when they discovered that it was a young elf girl, they each called out incomprehensibly, and then retreated into the grass.
Apparently they knew their feeder, even though she was three years younger.
"Little Chocobo~Shad, when you said there were chocobos here, I still didn't believe it."
Emilia said happily, but she didn't actually touch the little chocobo. She just stood aside and observed it. She waited until Shade, Miss Danister and Luvia came over, and then she joined them again.
Team.
When the pure white little beast walked up to the little chocobo, he stretched out his head and gave it a hug. After it flipped over and fell to the ground, he lifted it up again, and then happily followed the team.
Agelina, who suspected that her charm had been greatly reduced recently, also approached the little chocobo and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that it did not dodge.
But at this moment, two adult chocobo heads, one yellow and one blue, appeared again in the grass. They probably heard the whimpering sound of the baby when it was pushed over. They didn't want to attack Agelina, they just wanted to attack her.
A "warning" was issued to prevent her from getting any closer, but immediately the two chocobos saw the evil-looking cat above the human, so they retreated again.
The elf girl in the forest did not go out. She seemed to have known for a long time that someone would come to visit this morning, and she even prepared tea early to entertain everyone.
After a group of people arrived under the big tree, the elf girl who had been waiting for them immediately jumped down:
"Good morning, Shade, good morning, Luvia, Miss Daniste."
She greeted the "familiar" people, but did not greet the "unfamiliar" Agelina and Emilia. However, the little princess looked at the tall elf suspiciously, and then the more she looked, the more familiar she felt.
Then she had a flash of inspiration, and even though she had not yet acquired the so-called "amazing wisdom", Agelina still recognized who it was. She carefully looked at the elf's figure at this time in surprise, and showed a betrayed expression.
As for the elf next to the unicorn, Shade and Luvia were prepared for her to notice the truth, so they both observed her performance with their peripheral vision. However, they did not expect that Emilia was not looking at each other, but
He looked at the other person's face and figure with envy, and it seemed that he had a new crush.
In other words, she didn't realize who it was.
So, after a long period of doubt, Shade finally knew who Emilia was trying to deceive by pretending that she could not hide anything from anyone——
Emilia is here to deceive Emilia.
When Shade discovered this, he immediately had to hold back his smile, and it was obvious that Luvia and Miss Daniste also realized this.
Looking at the slightly mature girl in the forest, she also looked at Amelia at this time, but her expression seemed a little unhappy, and her words were also a little fierce:
"Hello, Elf of the Yuexi Clan, you are the one who has taken on that great responsibility, right?"
"Hello, hello, it's me. Sister, what clan are you from?"
Emilia was still there and asked very cautiously, not even paying attention to the little unicorn beside her. She was looking at the two owners standing in front of her with a puzzled expression. It obviously recognized it. So in order not to
Asking little Liana to do something that would be noticed by Emilia, Shade reached out and touched its head to make it relax.
This made the expression of the cat on Agelina's head even more unkind.
"My origins must be kept secret for the time being, but it's okay for you to call me sister."
The elf in the forest said absentmindedly, and did not continue to pay attention to Amelia:
"Let's not stand under the tree and talk. Let's go up and talk."
As he spoke, he grabbed the vines hanging from the tree trunk behind him and jumped to the second floor as if flying.
So the red-haired girl grabbed Luvia's hand and flew her up. Emilia and Agelina climbed on the back of little Lianna, and let the little unicorn carry them to the tree.
On the second floor of the house, Xia Deze of course turned into a red butterfly.
The elf girl had prepared a round table, chairs and teacups on the platform outside the tree house, and Shade noticed that the number of chairs and teacups was just right.
However, the elf girl prepared not black tea but green tea. After everyone sat down, she said:
"I also know the purpose of your visit this time. You want to transfer your qualifications to this immature elf girl, right?"
Emilia was not angry, but she pursed her lips in embarrassment and said nothing.
Shade nodded:
"The qualifications represented by the umbilical cord and Luvia's qualifications need to be transferred. Is this troublesome? Will it take a long time?"
The elf girl shook her head:
"It's not that troublesome. You told me about this a long time ago, and I'm also prepared. But you're right, the transfer of qualifications is not as simple as making tea. The two umbilical cords are easy to transfer.
It can be solved, but it will take some time to transfer Miss Luvia Anat's qualifications, probably. Today is Monday, and this matter can only be done on Wednesday night."
It's just that waiting for two days is not long. Shade is completely acceptable. Luvia has no objection, but the elf girl added:
"Although the qualifications symbolized by the umbilical cord can be transferred immediately, this will also cause the power contained in the umbilical cord to be completely absorbed by the young elves over there. The umbilical cord will no longer have any effect from now on. Can you accept this?"
"this"
Shade looked at Miss Danister again. Currently, the umbilical cord was the only way for her and Flora to temporarily regain their strength. Without the umbilical cord, unless the curse was completely resolved, there would be no way for them to escape from their current state.
"I'm fine, don't worry about my affairs."
The red-haired girl shook her head indifferently, and then Shade nodded and said:
"No problem, let's transfer the umbilical cord qualifications now. Is it here?"
Emilia looked worried, probably thinking that the ritual required her to "eat the umbilical cord." Fortunately, the rituals of elves are usually not so bloody:
"Although everyone has just sat down, please stand up and follow me now. No, you don't need to go far, it's just on the back of this tree."
The "backside" the elf girl refers to is the side that is not facing the sun. She has dug a small pool under the tree in advance.
When the group of people came over, the chocobos that were active nearby were drinking water around the waterhole, and then they were all chased away by the elf girl.
The water pool is directly under the big tree where the tree house is located, and it is a standard circle. Around the edge of the water pool, the elf girl used [Ocarina of Time] to carve complex elf runes on the ground, and then carved patterns
It is filled with mercury that has the color of emerald.
