In the early morning, I woke up from my sleep. The warm bonfire made the temperature in the entire cave very comfortable. I opened the cloak covering my body and looked around, but Erica was nowhere to be seen. If it weren't for There was a large, strange-looking backpack at my feet. I even thought that Erica left me last night. After all, Master Severna's oracle said that Erica was not good at interacting with others and liked to live alone. eccentric character.

I slowly left the sleeping bag and stood up. The wound on my left arm had been wrapped with a white bandage. I moved my arm lightly and no longer felt any pain. Inadvertently, I noticed a few things placed by my feet. A plastic medicine bottle, I picked it up and read the English annotation on it and realized that it was some antibiotic drugs to deal with wound infection. Suddenly there was a rare warmth in my heart, although Erica did not know that the elf's body actually had She has a strong self-healing ability, and wound infections rarely occur, but this does not prevent my impression of her from changing.

"A guy who is cold on the outside but full of warmth on the inside."

After getting dressed quietly, I glanced at the Chaniers who were sleeping peacefully not far away. It was really hard for me to regard the people who were close to them as bad people. Although the definition is a bit vague, the fact is that people like Chanier This kind of pure natural spirit is very sensitive to the emotions of other creatures. For example, people who often do evil will always reveal some negative emotions from time to time, and emotions will affect the qualitative change of their own souls. Usually, this qualitative change will be Defined as "evil", this is also the breath that Shaniers fear the most.

In short, my judgment is that the Chaniers do not think Erica is an evil person.

While I was thinking about how to negotiate with her next, I walked out of the cave and walked outside. I walked to the side of the high stone platform and looked at the vast lake. I took a deep breath and stretched my muscles. This was my first time. I spent the night so close to Sleeping Lake, and I haven't been expelled by the dragon Shadir. Even now, I feel like I'm in a dream.

I used the elf's unique perception ability to find Erica sleeping on top of the boulder. I easily jumped to the top of the boulder and saw that she was not in a good condition. Her eyelids were trembling violently and slightly twitching, and there was sweat on her forehead and neck. , these characteristics clearly indicate that she is experiencing an unpleasant dream at the moment.

I didn't try to wake her up but decided to wait for her to wake up naturally. However, I quietly approached her and quietly observed her appearance. She was obviously very beautiful, but why did she have to dress like a soldier? What a waste of this heroic face and the white and tender skin on her face. If I weren't worried that it would wake her up, I would really like to reach out and touch it. As for the messy blond hair, if you look closely, you can see that it is carefully crafted. It has been trimmed and maintained. If it is longer, I really want to give her a beautiful hairstyle.

I inadvertently saw the rifle in her arms. Its appearance was not much different from the firearms I recognized. It might be a new gun made in the United States, because I remember that Americans have many rifles that can shoot continuously. .Recalling my conversation with her last night, I noticed that her accent seemed to have a bit of Eastern European flavor. Maybe Erica may also be a Soviet, which is also an area where the Nazis are eyeing. I don’t think that she is like a hungry wolf at all. Ordinary madmen will let go of a piece of fat, even if the owner of this piece of fat is a giant. Maybe there has been a war over there. After all, I have been away from the earth for a long time, and because I am an elf The relationship between my status and my identity has made me feel indifferent to time. Now I can no longer remember how many years have passed.

I left here before Erica woke up, because I planned to prepare a delicious breakfast for Erica to celebrate her arrival. Even if the world here is not peaceful, at least there is nothing

People can threaten the Chosen One at will, and this may be a safer world for her than Earth.

"Welcome, Erica."

I opened my eyes suddenly and exhaled into the humid air. This feeling was really terrible. Last night was the first dream I had in the new world, and it was also a nasty nightmare. In the dream

I returned to Earth and relived the battle that took place before my death, and experienced the feeling of being penetrated by several bullets.

"It sucks."

He raised his hand and glanced at the time. It was close to 6 o'clock in the morning. The sun had just risen but the temperature had not yet risen. A fresh scent of grass and trees came from the forest not far away, and the lake on the other side

There is also a light mist in the depths.

I stood up and moved my body in front of the sun, then climbed down the rock. I was not in a hurry to return to the cave but entered the forest first. In addition to checking the traps I set last night, I also needed to relax my bladder.

"Damn, I really miss the flush toilet whenever this happens..."

About half an hour later, I successfully returned to the base. As soon as I entered the entrance of the cave, I felt a burst of warm air coming towards me.

"The bonfire hasn't gone out yet?"

With some doubts, I walked deeper into the cave, although on the way I thought about how to face Diana when I came back. I didn’t hate her, because she was just a stranger to me when I met her for the first time.

Moreover, she is still a subordinate of Severna and has no hostility towards me. Maybe I can learn about the world faster from her.

After returning to the camp, I unexpectedly saw a magical scene. Diana had already gotten up, and the birds were actually surrounding her and chirping. The atmosphere was very lively, and even the little ones were standing there.

She was jumping up and down on her shoulders. It should be said that she really deserves to be an elf who is close to animals. This seems to be similar to many legends on the earth. At this moment, she is sitting on the sleeping bag and stirring up the firewood in the bonfire.

There is my soup pot on the shelf above, and the mouth-watering aroma wafts from the pot.

"Good morning, Erica. I'm very sorry for borrowing your pot and jerky. I prepared breakfast for you. I hope you like it."

I took a look at the ingredients in the pot. In addition to the meat, there were some vegetable-like things. It was obvious that these things were not mine and they were not carried by her.

"Have you been out this morning?"

"Yes, while you were out patrolling, I went to collect some wild vegetables nearby."

"It looks a bit like borscht. Are there tomatoes and potatoes in this world?"

"Yes, but these are just similar vegetables... don't you like them?"

"I really don't like it very much."

"I hear your accent sounds a bit like Eastern European, so..."

"Not all Eastern Europeans like borscht, and I don't have a nationality. If you want to say it, I am Austrian."

"Sorry...or...I'll give you another one...but I can't get cheese and bread now..."

"No, this smells good."

I really don’t like borscht, but the taste of this pot of soup seems to be very different, which makes me a little interested. I took out the spare lunch box spoon from the hiking bag and handed it to Diana, and then took the soup pot from the soup pot.

He poured out some hot soup and sat near her to drink it.

"It tastes completely different from the borscht I've had before, but it tastes better."

"Really...that's good."

"I don't like sweet broth."

"There's no beet in this."

"So it tastes better."

Today is my third day in this world. In this quiet morning, I finally had a hot local breakfast. Of course, it would be better if I could take a hot shower.

I didn't care too much about why Diana knew these things on earth. Instead, I paid close attention to the bowl of hot soup in my hand. This simple hot soup really suits my taste, with a light and delicious soup and an unknown...

The combination of vegetables stimulated my taste, and the pleasure at the moment made me forget all the troubles, including the nightmare last night.

After enjoying the meal, we went to the lake to wash the dishes together. When we came back, Diana actually took out a small bag of tea leaves from her pocket and boiled a pot of hot water to make tea in her lunch box.

I looked at her making tea with some strange feeling and had an unspeakable subtle feeling. At the same time, I did not forget these cute little birds. I took out a piece of compressed dry food, crushed it, and sprinkled it on a clean ground.

For them to enjoy, and the little one was very active today for some reason, and actually jumped on my shoulder and rubbed my face.

"It's really a strange sight I've seen for the first time. Shanils will take the initiative to get close to humans."

"They were just bribed by food. But...'Chaniel' is the name of this group of birds?"

"That's right."

"What's the meaning?"

"Shanier is the name of a specific bird in the Elvish language, because these little birds are the descendants of the giant blue dragon Shadir."

"Sha...what? Dragon?! The one with scales and giant wings?"

"Yes, a dragon, a giant dragon. And it sleeps in this lake, so the name of this lake is 'Sleeping Lake'."

I was a little nervous and wanted to get up and go to the lake to have a look. After all, the legends about dragons on the earth are very evil. Even if I don't consider this, being a neighbor with a giant beast will not be so pleasant.

"You don't have to worry so much. Shadir is not an ordinary dragon. It was chosen by the goddess Severna as one of the divine dragons to protect the world from the beginning of this world. From the position of the divine dragon, it is the prototype of the later God's Chosen One.

, or it can also be said to be the God’s Chosen One in the Creation Era.”

"I see, but this forest is its territory, right? Is it appropriate for me to live here?"

"It shouldn't be a problem. After all, you've been living here for a few days, right? And Shadir didn't expel you. And didn't you notice? There are no large beasts or even traces of humans in the large area centered on Sleeping Lake.

, because both humans and beasts are afraid of the dragon's breath and dare not approach here, but you are not affected, which is enough to show that Shadir recognizes you."

I was somewhat relieved when I heard Diana's explanation. Perhaps it was because Severna sent me here that it hindered the relationship between God and the dragon did not reject my existence, but I also had some doubts in my heart. After all,

Although it is a dragon, it is still a beast. Beasts are never polite to intruders in their territory.

"Does it really matter if I live here?"

"I can't guarantee it, but at least Lord Shadir's family is so close to you, I think you should be able to find a suitable time to talk to it."

"Can we communicate?"

"Of course, the dragon is not an ordinary flying dragon beast. It is a highly intelligent creature, and it also has the ability to transform into human form. It should be no problem to communicate with it."

"Then...when?"

"This... we need to see when it wakes up next."

"When was the last time you woke up?"

"Before 190 years ago, Lord Shadir would wake up every 500 years or so."

After hearing this answer, I suddenly became less interested in communicating with the dragon. After all, that mythical creature was not on the same level as me. I'm afraid I would have become a fossil when it woke up next time. I

I really like this place and don’t want to move so soon. After calming down, I looked at Diana. This elf really made me care too much, in all aspects.

"Then let's put these things aside and let's get to the point, Diana."

"Okay, but I think it would be more appropriate for you to ask questions first instead of letting me tell you blindly at the beginning."

"That's right. Then tell me first...who did you learn English from?"

Diana was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect that I would ask this question in the first place.

"I thought... you saw it... I didn't expect..."

"What?"

"Don't you see that I am a reincarnated person?"

This time I was stumped by the question. To be honest, although I knew something about the deeds of those reincarnated from the earth in this world, I never thought that Diana was one of them. I thought she came from somewhere.

He learned English from a person from Earth. After all, one of the impressions given by elves is that they are very smart. It should not be difficult to learn a language in a short time.

But this can explain the incongruity I felt when I just had breakfast. I speak fluent British English, I am familiar with food from all over Europe, and I have this inexplicable "breakfast tea".

"British?"

"Yes, I was born in Manchester."

"Oh...that place..."
