Dota: Becoming a God Starting with Dragon Knight

Elon blinked. "Huh! Really?"

Lina took a deep breath: "Didn't my mom tell you to pick me up outside?"

Airon realized he had probably messed up and quickly apologized, "Cousin, I'm sorry, I don't really like the environment outside the forest. There aren't many trees there, so..."

"So you've been playing around here? And you even figured out a spell to give yourself a glowing effect?"

"No, I didn't! This was something I planned a long time ago." Elon quickly turned off the light effects, stepped forward and grabbed Lina's hand. "Believe me, I really didn't do it."

"I don't care, I'm going to tell my mom that you didn't come to pick me up outside, and that I got bullied by a bunch of skeletons and almost died outside the forest." Lina shook off his hand, pushed away the elf following behind Elon, and walked inside on her own.

Seeing this, Li Ming quickly followed.

Knowing he had made a mistake, Elon didn't dare to provoke Lina, so he grabbed Li Ming.

"Young man, please help me. She took you into the forest even though it was so dangerous, she must value you a lot."

"Please help me persuade your master, I really didn't mean it!"

The immense force nearly deformed Li Ming's hand. He looked miserable, unsure of what to do. Agreeing was out of the question, and he couldn't shake off the grip, so he could only stand there silently.

"Eron, what are you doing?" Lina walked back angrily. "If it weren't for him, you wouldn't be seeing me today. Don't be rude to him."

Elon quickly let go, and Lina grabbed Li Ming and left.

Elon was left standing there, bewildered, pondering how to quell Lina's anger.

After leaving Elon and the others, Lina noticed that the two were holding hands. Her face flushed, and she pretended to be nonchalant as she let go of their hands.

Li Ming gently pinched it; it was quite soft. He then asked, "Lina, is that your cousin?"

Lina: "What? Ah... no, no."

"That......"

"He is my mother's sister's son, my cousin, and he's over two hundred years old but still doesn't behave properly."

"Cousin?" Li Ming shuddered as he recalled Elon's alluring appearance. "No wonder she's an elf; even a man can look like that! I noticed you two seemed like you couldn't stand each other since you met. Did you have a conflict before?"

Lina didn't want to talk about it and quickened her pace, saying, "These are all old stories, let's not dwell on them."

"So what do we do now?"

"I'll have Elon arrange a place for you to stay. You can stay here tonight, and we'll continue our journey tomorrow."

After saying that, Lina went to the trunk of the family tree and crawled inside.

Li Ming wanted to go in too, but his head hit the tree trunk with a "bang".

He leaned against the trunk of the family tree, one hand covering his head, while the other hand repeatedly tapped the trunk: "Hey, hey—you tree, are you discriminating against me?"

An elf walked by and, seeing him banging away so enthusiastically, reminded him, "Stop banging, you country bumpkin~~ You're not an elf, you can't get in."

"If you break it, you'll have to pay for it!"

Then, under Li Ming's watchful gaze, he passed through the bark and disappeared into the tree trunk.

"No, then where should I go to rest?"

"I can sleep lying on the floor, but with people coming and going, it's a bit inappropriate!"

"I wonder where Elon has gone. Oh well, let's go look for her."

The reception area is not specifically for people entering through the Forest Gate; it also serves as a trading market.

The Elf Forest is divided into two parts: the Inner Forest and the Outer Forest. The Inner Forest is where elves live, while the Outer Forest is inhabited by many other intelligent life forms.

Including little fairies, tree spirits, deer people, mushroom people, and the wise beast kings.

The various races needed a place for trade and exchange, so the elves opened up many trading markets in the forest.

As an important stronghold for the Elven race in the outer forest, the reception area was naturally set up as one of the markets.

This is one of the reasons why the reception area is not located behind the Forest Gate.

Since he couldn't get into the family tree, Li Ming started wandering around.

It did allow him to see many races he had never seen before, which broadened his horizons.

More than ten minutes later, Li Ming was chatting with a group of passing fairies by the roadside when one of the fairies approached him.

"Hey~ what are you doing here? Come with me."

Without saying a word, he grabbed Li Ming and started walking away.

"Let's talk again next time we meet!"

"Hehe~ Goodbye!"

After saying goodbye to the adorable little fairies, Li Ming turned back to the elf who was dragging him along: "Hey~ big brother, why are you pulling me?"

"Young master asked me to arrange accommodations for you tonight."

"Then let's talk this out properly. Why are you pulling me? I'm not going to run away."

The elf stopped and glared angrily at Li Ming.

Do you want to hear what you're saying?

If you hadn't been running around everywhere, would I have been running all over the reception area?

Li Ming, of course, had no idea what the elf was thinking. He straightened his disheveled clothes, dusted them off, and said, "Let's go to my palace for today."

"Brother, what's your name?"

"Cyrillic."

"I've heard that elves are long-lived and can live a very long time? How old are you?"

......

Li Ming was like a curious child, asking questions all the way. Cyril answered seriously at first out of politeness, but eventually got annoyed by the questions and only gave perfunctory answers.

After settling Li Ming into a fruit shop, Cyril hurriedly left.

"ah--"

"Comfortable!"

Lying on the soft bed, watching the three enchanting moons vying for brilliance outside the window, Li Ming's eyes were glazed over.

"Three moons, huh? It really isn't Earth anymore!"

"I wonder if I'll ever be able to go back?"

"Waaaaah, I haven't deleted my study materials yet! My lifelong peace of mind..."

Silent all night.

The next day, when Cyril came looking for him, Li Ming was leaning against the window, listening to the birds' concert and staring at everything new and exciting outside.

After having a traditional elven breakfast, Li Ming, led by Cyril, found Lina, Elon, and others.

"Li Ming, how did you sleep last night?"

"Great, the environment here is wonderful, I slept very comfortably."

"If you like, I can have Elon act as your guarantor so you can live in the Elf Forest from now on."

"Forget it, this place is nice, but it's not home. I want to go home and visit before making a decision."

Hearing this from the side, Airon muttered disdainfully, "He's just a lowly Bronze-level character, I wouldn't even take him as a slave. And he actually refused? He really doesn't know his place."

"Eroon!!!"

"oh......"

"Li Ming, just ignore him. That's just how he is. He may be a bit playful and shameless, but he's still a good person."

"It's okay, he wasn't wrong. I'm just a beginner, but I really want to see if I can go home first."

Airon: "Tch~ At least you have some self-awareness."

Seeing Lina looking at him again, Elon quickly shut his mouth.

The group came to a fork in the road, and Lina led Li Ming onto the left path.

Elon coughed and reminded her, "Cousin, we're not going to the post station today."

"You brought your own mount?" Lina asked, puzzled. She remembered that Elon had never liked her keeping a unicorn.

Elon raised his head: "We're taking a private car today!"

"car?"

"Heh heh, yes, we made it in collaboration with the goblins," Elon said proudly.

"Those goblins who play with puppets, I remember their most prized creation is a giant lumberjack? Aren't you afraid the Nature Faction will come after you?"

"Hey, no way, the resolution must have been passed."

"Let's go then."

"Hehe~ This way."
