Although we said we weren't in a hurry, as soon as our conversation ended, the Elf Queen and Elder Elf immediately got busy.
Even the elves who were just standing around watching us moments ago suddenly all scattered, as if they had appeared out of nowhere.
"I think... we've been left out in the cold."
Aliyah said, looking a bit helpless.
"Perfect, I think there must be many interesting things in the elf city, so..."
"So, what do you want to see? I can show you around~"
"Eli, when did you appear behind me?"
"Hmm? I've been here the whole time."
Oh god, he didn't make a sound at all, it's terrifying. Is Eli an acarine?
"Well, until the Elf Queen and Elder finish their preparations, we'll have plenty of time. I suggest... let's visit your elf magic?"
"And the elf combat techniques, especially dual sword or dagger techniques."
Speaking of which, Aliyah is a thief. Although she mainly relies on stealing things, if we follow the branches, thieves should be classified as the same occupation as assassins.
So Aliyah probably uses both dual swords and daggers. Coming to an elf place like this should be just right, because in my impression, elves really enjoy shooting a few arrows and then hiding, and finally finding an opportunity to stab someone in the back.
Of course, maybe that's just a bias, because I've done it that way in many games.
"Well... if it's combat techniques, I think everyone has already gone out on patrol. But those old folks should still be researching magic in the dungeon."
"Wait, dungeon?"
I rubbed my temple.
I'm starting to feel like the elves in this world are completely different from the elves in my common knowledge. If having an impatient queen and a joker elder aren't magical enough, then building a magic dungeon instead of a magic tower, how should I describe that?
"That's right, because our magic researchers seem to dislike the possibility of paper being blown away from the high tower windows, so they built a magic dungeon underneath the original tower. And it kept getting bigger and bigger, moving everything down there. In the end, they abandoned and demolished the tower above."
"Oh my god, these magic researchers..."
I couldn't find any other words to describe them besides jokers.
"Well, anyway, let me see those magical researchers," I said.
"Well..."
Eli suddenly pointed behind me.
"They're coming towards you."
"Huh?"
I turned my head and saw a guy in a gray robe walking toward me, with a silver black-striped mask on his face.
My goodness, what kind of strange attire is this? Can't you guys dress up in a way that won't get mistaken as terrorists when walking on the road?
What's even scarier is that this guy's title is really annoying.
Mulan'uo Yefa Musi
[Reason for equipment fully blocked]
It's like picking up a comic book, opening it, and finding out that it's all blank inside.
This feeling really makes me uncomfortable...
"You're the human, right?"
"Um..."
This guy also has a problem with manners. At least say hello first.
"Very well, you just said you want to take a look at our magical fortress?"
"Yes."
"Great, your Elven language is quite impressive. Come, let's go to our fortress. Maybe while talking about your legendary magic, you can also learn some Elven language. Of course, no human has ever studied Elven magic, so your magical talent might give you an advantage. Let's go."
After saying that, this guy turned around and headed towards a building that I initially thought was a monument. He pressed a button at the entrance, and the Elf vanished right there.
They actually set up a teleportation array at the entrance? Are they kidding me? Do you Elves have too much money or too many magic crystals? They actually set up a teleportation gate?
I rolled my eyes and followed suit.
"Eli, are you coming too?"
"Of course."
The three of us continued walking and arrived at the teleportation array.
After pressing a button, we were instantly transported to a hall.
This was like a scene transition in a game but without any loading time.
Seamless loading, it's really something~
But I have to admit, the decoration of the Elven magic fortress is really impressive.
Hundreds of bookshelves were rotating above, with books flying in and out.
In addition, many other things were floating back and forth, resembling conveyor belts.
"Sorry for the messiness."
The Elf from earlier said as he walked to the side.
"Come, come, come to my laboratory, let me study your magic in detail."
"What are you planning to do?"
"Of course, test your magic abilities. What else can I do? Don't worry, it will only take a moment."
We followed him down the corridor and entered a place that looked like a basketball court.
But the biggest difference was... this basketball court was surrounded by various strange magical patterns and devices.
"Come, stand on this platform and let me see what abilities you possess in your strongest state."
"My strongest state?"
"You'll find out once you get on."
I gave it some thought and skeptically stepped onto the platform.
The Elf mage immediately started manipulating buttons on the apparatus. After a while, he pressed one button, and I felt a surge of energy enter my body.
Alert, external energy interference.
All restraints are about to be released.
Huh?
Restraints being released?
Am I Eva Unit 01?
Just as I was feeling confused, an incredibly powerful force burst out from my body! And then...
I saw my angel wings and bone wings simultaneously unfold!
"Oh my god, you must be joking with me..."
I'm done for, I've been exposed!
