Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Along the way, they roughly toured the entire village, and Fulilian kindly introduced them to other elves in the village one by one.

"It's Fulilian, what's going on?"

"this is my friend."

"Oh."

Conversations like this have occurred no less than twenty times in Xuer's records.

It seems to be showing off.

But perhaps because of the elves' habits, they did not react much when they saw two outsiders, Xuul and Takson, appear in the village.

There is no one in the entire village who looks old; they are all young people or teenagers.

As expected of elves, in this world, elves have the longest lifespan of all species.

Judging from the existence of people like Celia and the elven monk who have lived from the mythological era to the present, Xuel speculated that the lifespan of this group of elves should be almost as long as that of heaven and earth.

Takson's eyes seemed to be shining, and he was full of curiosity about everything like a child.

Well, although the buildings in the elf village are all wooden houses like those in the human village, they are indeed very innovative in appearance because they are integrated with the natural elements of the trees.

And his apprentice is very interested in the living environment of these elves.

But Xuer himself didn't have much idea.

Because long before, he had already explored the entire appearance of this village.

However, while visiting, he also recorded the appearance of all the elves along the way, as well as some locations in the village.

This is what his subsequent plan is.

......

It took a relatively long time because Fulilian introduced them to everyone in the village.

Then, these elves gave Xuer the impression that none of them were wary of outsiders. When he first heard that he needed to get the village chief's approval, he thought these elves still had normal vigilance.

As a result, when he really came into contact with them with Fulilian, he realized that there was a reason why they were easily slaughtered by the demons.

But it is also possible that because they were brought in by Frillian, they didn't care about Xuer and the others.

Xuul had also scanned some of them and found that most of these elves had relatively high magical talents or physical strength, but they had never had any combat experience.

Magicians are proficient in almost all kinds of magic that are practical in life, such as [making book pages dry quickly], [making plants grow healthily], [magic to extinguish fire] and so on.

Individuals with strong physiques are also trained by doing physical work in their daily lives, such as felling trees and carrying heavy objects. Xuer has analyzed that some of these individuals are even stronger than Takson in terms of physical strength alone.

The entire village, because it has almost no communication with the outside world, everyone seems to be enjoying a peaceful and quiet life.

So in Xiuer's opinion, these guys just have a lot of skills but don't have the intention to bring out the full effect of them.

But this is someone else's attitude towards life after all, and he is too lazy to care about it.

If these guys didn't know that this place would be invaded by demons in the near future, there would be nothing wrong with their lifestyle.

And Xuul came for this purpose. He was not curious about the elf village, he just wanted to come in and do the follow-up work.

Although the item given to Fulilian can eliminate the invading demons at one time, the contents inside will also cause devastating damage to everything nearby when released.

This back-up plan is to minimize the scope of damage as much as possible when he recovers it.

If there was a prophet from the demon clan who could have predicted this, he might not have attacked.

This is of course the best case scenario.

As for whether it will have a butterfly effect on future events and cause changes, Xuer doesn't care about it.

Now, he has come into this world in person and can do whatever he wants according to his own wishes.

In his previous life, he had read a lot of "fan works" in which the protagonists acted cautiously for the so-called "main storyline", fearing that they would change the plot. If you said that those were weak, it would be fine, but those who had the ability to change it but did nothing made Xuer a little puzzled.

Now that we are here, it would be a pity not to make some changes.

......

----

......

In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon.

Because of curiosity, Takson ran away on his own after telling Xuer, which also facilitated the latter's subsequent actions.

"—[Opening the Classic]—[True Classic]—[Boundary·Environmental Restoration·Trigger Type]—"

"—[Opening the Code]—[True Code]—[Block·Resurrection of Near-Death Creatures·Trigger Type]—Specify Creature "Elf""

Finally, in the center of the village, without anyone noticing, Xuel cast the above magic spell, placing the entire village under the protection of the [barrier].

Because it was necessary to divide the area, Xuer extended his "tail" from the gap in his clothes and inserted it into the ground, thereby casting this large-scale magic.

The effects of these two barriers are the result of new magic developed by him by mixing the power of Emperor Keke with barrier magic as the basis.

A transparent, colorless, and invisible protective shield instantly enveloped the entire elven village. According to Xuer's calculations, the strength of this barrier could easily protect the individual "elves" in it from death.

And the props that Fulilian uses at that time will not cause irreversible changes to the environment here.

"what are you doing?"

At this time, Fulilian came here carrying a basket of fruits.

"【Answer】Conduct follow-up work and finish it up."

As he spoke, Xiuer retracted his tail.

"?"

"You mean the hood that suddenly appeared just now?"

Fulilian's words surprised Xiuer a little.

"[Suspicious] Can you see it?"

"No."

She shook her head to indicate that she didn't see anything.

"But I can feel that the village is covered by two shields."

So it's based on feeling.

"[Question] So that's how you found this place?"

"No, I'm here to find you."

"[Additional] Does anyone else know?"

"No, I just felt a little bit. Is it some kind of magic?"

Looking at the calm expression on Fulilian's face, Xiuer felt that she was quite generous.

"[Suspicious] Aren't you worried that this thing might be harmful?"

"Friends wouldn't do anything to hurt each other, right?"

It seems that the other party trusts this new friend of his very much.

but.

"[Negation] People who call themselves 'friends' are not necessarily sincere. It is possible for two individuals to come into conflict or harm each other."

"[Reminder] Fulilian, you need to be cautious of strangers."

"Hey, is communication between humans so difficult?"

A distressed expression appeared on Fulilian's face. The thought of having to do all these things in order to communicate with humans was too troublesome.

But she didn't take these to heart, she just stared at Xiuer.

"What about you? Will you hurt me?"

“[Answer] No.”

"That's all right. I believe we are friends."

"..."

Xiuer was a little speechless.

How come this guy believed it without any doubt?

But there was nothing to explain, because he really had no intention of harming Fulilian, and even his previous work was just to protect the village.

If the village had not been destroyed, Fulilian would have been able to keep her innocent heart forever. Unfortunately, according to the original book, there is no if.

But now it’s different, Xiuer is here.

In order to enhance Fulilian's "vigilance", Xuer came up with a solution.

After making all the preparations, Xuerjue decided to go find Takson. He always knew the other party's coordinates and was now heading straight for his apprentice.

And Fulilian followed Xuer and chatted with him about random things. After all, few people from the outside world could come here.

"[Question] Fulilian, do you want to hear stories from the outside world?"

"Well, I'm not very interested, but I'm willing to listen."

Stories from the outside world still have some appeal to this elf who has not yet left the village too far, but not much.

But after all, it was a friend's suggestion, so Fulilian didn't refuse.

"[Received] The request has been approved, and the story module is enabled."

"Have you always spoken in such a strange way?"

"..."

Shul ignored Fulilian's question and began to narrate the story on his own. Even the device above his head unfolded, adding background music to the story, which immediately piqued Fulilian's interest. Fulilian didn't wonder where the music came from, but just thought it was Shul's [magic].

Afterwards, the two of them wandered through the elven village, heading towards Taksen, following Shul's story.

......

Chapter 44: New Labyrinth

The entire elven village was actually not that large, and it didn't take Xuel and Flillian much time to capture Taksen who was wandering here.

As for the content of the story, I won’t go into details here.

Even the beginning of the story has not yet reached the middle stage of the plot.

Then, at the strong request of his apprentice, Xuel continued the unfinished story, conveying the things in other worlds as stories to the two people beside him.

In fact, originally, Shul wanted Fulilian to be wary of others, so he chose a story with some dark content.

But when Tuckson joined the team, he also changed his overall style.

It’s a pity that from the effect point of view, Fulilian was simply attracted by the story and did not think about the connotation of the story at all.

Forget it, so be it.

The character of an elf cannot be changed so easily.

Besides, it was time for them to leave.

The preparations have been completed, and Xuer has no reason to stay here, well, if you don't count Takson.

"[Question] Tucson, is your wish fulfilled?"

"Ah, um!"

"The appearance of the Elfland really surprised me. The elves here are all very sincere, although most of them are relatively calm..."

With shining eyes, Takson told Xiuer about the scenery he had seen along the way.

It looks like a child who is happily sharing what he sees and hears with adults.

Although he is already a young man, when he meets someone he is interested in, this 1.9-meter-tall man will turn back into a teenager.

Xiuer understood this feeling because he got along with his parents in the same way when he was a child.

He had long realized that Tuxon no longer just regarded him as a "teacher", but more importantly, as an adoptive mother.

It's strange. Judging from my appearance, I should still be a "child", so why am I treated as a "mother"? At most, I should be treated as a sister, right?
