"It's strange, my professor, as a demon, why are you angry for a group of elves?"
Seemingly seeing He Wen's clenching of fists, the forest lord guessed He Wen's current feelings, so she asked doubtfully.
"Don't worry about this...but why are the elves unable to use magic now?"
He Wen avoided the forest lord's question and then asked his doubts.
Shalia shook her head.
"Master, I just woke up and I don't know what's going to happen next."
The Lord of the Forest also shook his head.
"I... am not interested in things outside the forest. I only know that there are fewer and fewer elves. In the past few hundred years, the breath of elves has been completely lost in the forest. Instead, a group of elves have migrated from the north. Orcs.”
He Wen knew she was talking about Hal and the others.
At this moment, the runes suddenly began to flicker. He Wen suddenly became alert, and the silver needles instantly surrounded him. Shalia also seemed to feel something. She raised her hand and the staff appeared in her hand. She threw it away. A glance at the Lord of the Forest.
"You can't be the one causing trouble, little spider."
But the forest lord had already hid in the hot spring again. Half of her head was exposed, and her mouth was submerged in water, so her words were a little unclear.
"Fuse me (not me)"
At this moment, all the runes suddenly went out, and then in the corner of the mine, a blue light suddenly lit up.
Several people looked in the direction of the light.
I saw that the light actually came from the body of a girl.
"Shireen?!"
He Wen was startled when he saw Shilin's whole body glowing with blue light, and he rushed over.
Arriving in front of the girl, He Wen found that Shilin's eyes had turned blue. She was staring straight ahead, as if she had no reaction at all to the He Wen in front of her.
"Shireen?? What's wrong with you??"
He Wen asked anxiously, and then planned to activate the vital signs detection technique. At this moment, the girl in front of him suddenly spoke quietly.
"...Are you very interested in our affairs, devil?"
The timbre of Shirin's voice didn't change much, but the tone was very ethereal.
Very different from her before.
Moreover, Shirin spoke very fluently at this time, not at all stuttering like before.
"Who are you."
He Wen felt that the person speaking now might not be Shilin.
"My name is Annalin. I don't exist here now. I am just talking to you with the help of this child's body."
"Get out of her body!"
He Wen said seriously.
Shirin tilted her head slightly, looked at He Wen and said.
"Devil, you seem to care about this child very much. This is strange. Demons don't care about any life. All you care about is the soul. You like to taste pain, but your concern for this child doesn't seem fake. This makes me very happy. Interested, can you tell me why?”
"None of your business! Get off her now! She is my patient!"
He Wen was really anxious at this time. If this thing kept occupying Shilin's body, there would be nothing he could do.
"Although I still can't answer my doubts, please don't worry, devil, I will not hurt this child..."
"Why should I trust you?"
"It's funny, I actually have to promise a demon that I won't harm a fellow creature."
"......Same race?"
He Wen was stunned for a moment, and then Shalliya patted his back gently.
"Master, don't worry. Annalin is the princess of the elves. She will never harm Shirin."
"The princess...? Is she the princess you just mentioned who married King Talis?"
Shalia nodded.
Shirin's head moved slightly, and her ethereal eyes looked at Shalia.
"Shalia...I can still hear your voice."
Shalia smiled and looked at Shirin, her eyes became a little gentle, as if she was talking to an old friend.
"I didn't expect to be able to talk to my old friends after I woke up. Where are you now?"
Shirin was stunned for a moment, then said.
"...I don't know, I'm just a memory left behind, but I can feel that I'm in a very dark and sinful place now, and I can't escape. This is a prison, a... field......"
Speaking of this, Shirin's voice trembled a little.
"This is a betrayal."
There may be some anger in this trembling, but also a touch of sadness.
Her voice seemed to have some kind of magic power, allowing He Wen to feel her pain and despair even with just his hearing.
But soon, she regained her composure and looked at Shalia smiling softly. He Wen was a little surprised that such tranquility and elegance appeared on Shirin's face.
"But Xia Liya, you really went too far. You made an appointment to see me on the day we separated, but in the end, I didn't see you until the day of my accident."
Shalia scratched her head guiltily.
"I'm sorry...I had some physical problems at the time..."
"Is the demon spirit vein blocked?"
Shireen smiled and told her illness. Shalia was stunned for a moment, and then asked.
"How do you know, Annalynn, you have known it for a long time? Then why didn't you tell me..."
"Well, I'm sorry about that. I know about this disease of the demons and how to solve it, but I think you are not familiar with the world, so you shouldn't agree to that kind of treatment. Now I see that you look much better. , has it been resolved?"
"Well...it's solved, but it's not completely solved yet. Thanks to the master."
As she said this, Shalia hugged He Wen beside her.
This time, Shirin's face showed a little surprise.
"Eh? This...this really surprises me. You...married a demon?"
"Things here are very complicated. We are not married yet, but we should be soon."
He Wen was speechless. His marriage had already been decided, but he didn't bother the two of them to reminisce.
He knew that although Xia Liya didn't seem to react much now, for her, after a good night's sleep, things changed, and things and people changed. Those friends who might have been chatting and saying goodbye before, and making plans to see each other next time, were no longer there anymore. Can't see it either.
So she should be very happy now that she can chat with this elf soul named An Linna.
"No matter what, I'm happy to see you change, Shalia, but... there's not much time now. I have something to say to this devil, but before that, I want to Let me ask you, Shalia, can I trust him?"
Shalia nodded.
"Annalyn, I trust him, absolutely."
Shirin hesitated for a moment, not because she doubted what Shalia said, but because she was a little surprised that Shalia could say such a thing.
"I didn't expect... you have changed so much. You used to not even trust Patrick."
She raised her hand slightly, covered her mouth and snickered, then looked at He Wen seriously and said.
"Devil...Sir, I have a favor to ask of you."
"Since you are Shalia's friend, I can listen to you tell me what happened."
He Wen said that he had a feeling that what the elf named Annalin was going to say might be related to this large-scale entry of humans into the forest.
