After the Legend Chapter 27: Ludlow


She hugged the basket tightly and boldly asked, "What are you, what do you want to do?" While saying that, she cheered herself up: They are not as scary as monsters, they are not as terrible as monsters...

The scarred man is still smiling: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, uncle is a good person. Uncle just came here, and I don't know the place in life. I saw your cute little sister and just wanted to chat with you."

The black-toothed man also echoed: "That's right, little sister, have you lived here for a long time? Are you familiar with this place? Can you take your uncles around?"

Minna watched them warily, not believing a word of what they said. They don't look like good people, they must be trying to do something bad when they stop her from leaving! And the fall she just fell was so strange, they must have done it!

She pursed her lips tightly, rolled her eyes, and wanted to run away when they weren't paying attention, but was found, and was dragged back by the scarred man by the collar: "Little sister, don't say hello no matter what. Just ran away? Wouldn't that be rude?"

"What do you want to do to the children?!" When Old Qiao appeared behind them, Ming Na quickly struggled to get rid of the scarred man's hand and ran behind Old Qiao, not even caring if the apple basket fell. .

The scarred man was stunned for a moment, thinking that this little girl is moving very fast. He glanced at the black-toothed man, and both smiled at Old Joe: "It's nothing, it's rare to see my compatriots, it's just to amuse the children, we're not malicious." "That's right, boss, Even if this is your half-elves' territory, you can't stop us from getting close to our human race."

They grinned, winked at each other, and went back to the store with a flicker, just chatting in low voices from time to time, and the corners of their eyes glanced at Old Joe.

Old Qiao snorted coldly, ignored them, and helped Ming Na retrieve the apples and baskets, and gave them to her: "Next time they block you like this, you will shout loudly, but there is no such thing in the forest now. It's too safe, don't run too far with the little prince." He raised his hand to greet a passing half-elf and asked him to take Minna to Ludlow's treehouse.

Ming Na thanked Old Qiao and left with the half-elf. Along the way, the other party was complaining that the new human mercenary was causing trouble, entangled the patrol team, and hurt his friend A few days ago, I was injured by the **** vomited by the demon beast in the snowfield. I was forced to cut off a large piece of meat on my arm to save my life. Now those mercenaries are still wandering around the town, molesting young girls, and even The boys are not spared, I really don't know what they want to do.

Ming Na half understood all the way, but knew that those people had done a lot of bad things, and she was secretly vigilant that she must avoid them. As soon as she looked up, she saw the half-elf boy Leif coming towards him. He was about to say hello with a smile, but saw him blushing suddenly, and he hurriedly turned the other way and left. She is a little weird.

The half-elf who went with him laughed cheerfully and solved the puzzle for Ming Na: "Old Joe is not kind, he was quick to talk last night, and told him everything your uncle told him, and then we know, It turns out that Xiao once suspected that Leif was his son. Leif was embarrassed to see you last night, not to mention how embarrassed he was."

"Huh?" Ming Na was pleasantly surprised, "Is the big brother my grandfather... uncle's son?"

"No. Don't look at him young, he's actually in his twenties. He grew up in human society and lived here for only ten years. Of course he can't be your uncle's son."

Minna gave an "oh" and asked again, "Then who is my uncle's son?" The half-elf blinked: "Well... guess for yourself, I can't tell." Minna pouted. mouth.

While we were talking, we had already arrived at the tree house on the edge of the town. The half-elf had something to do, so he left first. Minna climbed up the wooden ladder, saw that the door of the house was unlocked, and knowing that Ludlow was at home, she happily pushed the door open.

The room is furnished with simple furniture, a low birch table, a low cabinet, a cushion made of vines, a few scattered books, a curtain made of hemp and fine kudzu hanging on the window, and a table top with carved tree roots. Water glasses and wooden bowls and plates with bright and delicate patterns. Several wicker fruit baskets were placed in the house, which contained some colorful fruits, exuding a faint fruity fragrance.

There was no one in the room, and judging from the remnants of juice left on the plate, Ludlow should have just left. Ming Na shouted "Xiao La", but when no one responded, she ran outside the door again, standing at the entrance of the wooden ladder and shouting in the direction of the forest, wondering if this friend of the same age went to play in the forest again. .

She was screaming, her eyes darkened, a figure descended from the sky and landed in front of her, and when she looked closely, it was Ludlow. He gave her an angry look: "What's your name?! Don't call me that idiot!"

Ming Na smiled and said, "I think it sounds good. Where were you just now? Why did I call you so many times and you didn't answer?" She handed him the basket in her hand: "This is Uncle Qiao Give us something to eat."

"Idiot! I just finished eating, where can I eat?!" Ludlow rolled his eyes again and paused, "Is your injury okay? I heard that you were covered in blood that day."

"It's alright." Ming Na followed him into the room carelessly, and put the basket on the table, "Although it hurts, it will get better soon, even if the foot is injured, it will hurt to walk, but now It's alright. What about you? You passed out that day, and you haven't come to see me for the past few days. I don't even know what happened to you."

"I'm fine, I'm just out of strength." Ludlow sat on the mat, lowered his head and asked, "I want to ask you, why did you come with me that day? You are obviously far away from the beasts, and you can escape back to town. Damn, why do you want to help me? I'm so cruel to you, don't you find it annoying?"

Ming Na tilted her head and said: "No, although you are a bit fierce, but you know a lot of things, you can climb trees, and you invite me to eat delicious fruit, we are already friends, how can I Can I leave you and run away?"

"Friends?"

"Yes, I also made a lot of friends in Edonia, but they don't understand anything. You are almost the same age as me, but you know so many interesting things. I admire you very much."

Ludlow suddenly showed a weird smile: "Sure enough, he is an idiot. Do you think I am about the same age as you? To tell you the truth, I am seventeen years old this year, but I have inherited the characteristics of slow growth of elves, Appearance will be like a child."

Ming Na's eyes widened: "Liar! I don't believe it!" He clearly looks like a child, how could he be so old?

Ludlow raised his head high: "Don't believe it? I ask you, you met my mother and my aunt that day, guess how old they are? I tell you, my mother is over five hundred years old, My aunt is also over 300 years old, but they only seem to be in their twenties. This is because elves have a long life, so they grow slower than humans."

Ming Na was a little dazed. The beauty in white and the woman in black that she saw that day did look like they were only in their twenties. If they were really hundreds of years old, then Xiao La would be six or seven years old when she was seventeen. The appearance is not surprising. But are they that old?

Seeing her disbelief, Ludlow added: "If my mother is really in her twenties, how old was she when she married your grandfather twenty years ago? How is that possible? ? So ah, my mom just looks young when she's actually hundreds of years old."

Ming Na thought about it for a while and felt that what he said did make sense, but... wait, what did he just say? "How did you know he was my grandpa?!" she exclaimed.

Ludlow sneered: "You said it yourself, we already knew."

Is that so? Minna touched her head, when did she leak her mouth? Before she could recall it, she suddenly froze, pointed at Ludlow and murmured: "You said just now... my grandfather and your mother... get married..." She looked around the room: "Uncle Qiao said... ...Grandpa's son lives in the tree house at the end of the town..." She opened her mouth: "You said you were seventeen..."

She said all the way, Ludlow nodded all the way, and smiled generously: "Officially introduce myself, I'm your uncle Ludlow, don't call me the ugly 'Xiao La' in the future, just call me uncle Oh."

Ming Na stared blankly at him, her mind was in chaos, it was not easy for her to believe that this little boy who looked about her age was actually her uncle and eleven years older than her. thing. She jumped up suddenly: "I'm going to tell Grandpa to go!" As soon as she turned around, Ludlow held her tightly: "Don't go! I don't want him to know!"

"Why?" Ming Na was puzzled. "Grandpa is here to find you. He really wants to see you."

"I know, he still thinks Leif is me, right? But, I don't want to meet him." Ludlow turned his head, "I can't leave the Elf Forest, and he won't stay. Live with my mom. Why does he want to know me now, since he didn't know about me for the past seventeen years? You said you were leaving soon, didn't you? After you leave here, just pretend you don't know With us, we each live our own lives."

Ming Na looked at him: "Xiao La, I don't understand... You seem to be a little different from usual..."

Ludlow smiled: "I'm seventeen years old, of course I'm not the same as the average seven-year-old child, and..." He looked at his hands, "I have the ability to control plants, which is There are many skills that real elves don't have. I used to have only the false name of a prince, and any elves could look down on me, but now it's different, my grandparents, and the elders of the elves have all agreed. I can talk to my mother every month. Staying together for a few days, the elves will also send people to teach me writing, magic and archery. Although I will never be the king of the elves, I believe that one day they will fully accept me."

Ming Na looked at the high spirits on his face and felt that this friend suddenly became a little strange: "Xiao La..."

Ludlow turned to look at her, suddenly reached out and tapped her on the head: "Don't call me that name! How many times have I said it? Idiot!" He reached out and took an apple and took a big bite, Stand up: "Come and play with me with a basket."

Ming Na pouted and rubbed her head, muttering, "Why hit me..." But she was secretly happy, and Xiao La returned to the original Xiao La.

She followed Ludlow up the rope ladder to the second tree house to play. This is actually Ludlow's bedroom. As soon as you enter the door, you are covered with layers of thick straw mats. The room is much smaller than the one below, but bigger than the four-poster bed she slept in in the inn room. The room can be used as a bed, except for a few large burlap pillows, two or three pieces of clothing, just some loose leaf paper and pens cut from twigs. Minna recognizes that this is the usual writing in town. tools, as well as several books about basic wind magic, and there is also a basket in the corner of the room, which contains half a basket of fruits.

Ludlow threw the apple basket aside, grabbed the basket in the corner of the room, and handed it to Minna: "Here, you have eaten some here, some haven't, let's exchange it."

Ming Na smiled and said, "Your fruit is delicious, I can't eat it in the store."

"Of course." The corner of Ludlow's mouth curled up, "These are fruits that are not easy to pick, and are very precious." He carried a magic book: "You have learned magic, right? Let me talk about it, the new teacher doesn't quite understand it."

Ming Na leaned over while eating the fruit. Seeing that it was just a few simple little magics, one of which was lighting, she demonstrated it to him. Her magic power has improved now, and the ball of light she emits is much brighter.

However, when she taught Ludlow to use this technique, she suddenly became depressed, because the light ball emitted by Ludlow was ten times brighter than hers! Seeing the other side snickering, she took a big bite of the fruit and vowed to go back to practice hard.

They stayed until dark before heading back to the inn for dinner. Although she ate a lot of fruit, Minna still prefers hot soup and bread. Of course, what she misses the most is grilled meat, why can't you eat meat here?

The two children (?) fought all the way and competed with each other for the brighter and longer-lasting ball of light. Needless to say, it was naturally Minna who lost, she said unconvinced: "You are so much older than me, of course stronger than me." Radlow glanced at her: "Idiot, I only learned it today."

Ming Na was discouraged and strode forward when she suddenly saw three dark shadows appearing in front of her. With the light from the nearby room, she discovered that two of them were the scarred men who had blocked her before. And the black-toothed man, hurriedly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Ludlow almost bumped into him, glanced at the three who were approaching with a smile, and asked Minna in a low voice, "Are they the new human mercenaries?"

Minna nodded, pulling Ludlow back one step at a time. I saw the black-toothed man beckoning to her: "Little sister, we meet again. Is this your friend?" An unknown mercenary smacked his lips: "Is it a elf? She looks so beautiful~IndoMTL.com ~Ludlow's little face flushed again. Minna glanced around quietly, and suddenly saw a faint silver light flashing at the corner in front of her. After a closer look, it was Leif. She was overjoyed and shouted loudly. After shouting "Big Brother", he dragged Ludlow and ran towards the half-elf boy - actually a young man.

Lever blushed when he saw her. He wanted to run away, but when he saw the mercenaries, he also realized something was wrong. He hurried a few steps, caught the two children, and quickly protected them towards the Go to the inn.

The three mercenaries watched them go away, feeling disappointed. The scarred man glanced at his companion: "What should I do? People in the town don't take the bait."

"There will be a way." The black-toothed man's face was gloomy, "The guards of elves have become much weaker these days. Among the half-elves, except for Joe, everyone else has average strength and is not our opponent at all. We Just find out..."

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and the third person licked his lips: "Boss, the two children just now looked good. That boy is still an elf."

The black-toothed man stared at him: "Don't make trouble." After a pause, he smiled again: "We'll talk about it when we're done."

The three laughed again.

Minna didn't know anything about the conversation between the three of them. She hurried back to the inn following Leif. As soon as she entered the door, she saw an elf carrying a longbow talking to Old Joe. When he heard someone entering the door, he turned around. Ming Na recognized him as one of the male elves who sent their grandparents and grandsons to the inn. He was very friendly.

Right now, the genial elf looked at her with a serious look, and there was a hint of worry in Old Joe's eyes. Ming Na suddenly had a bad feeling: "What's wrong?"

"Ming Na." Old Qiao said in a heavy tone, "Xiao is injured, seriously."
