#1967 - Elderly Yaling

An ecological community has already formed within the planet's fortress, and due to the existence of airlocks, the ecology of different areas may be different.

So even when she saw the savages, Alyssa wasn't surprised.

But there is actually an old lady who is at least 70 years old living here alone, this...

Who would believe that she was just an ordinary old lady?

Alyssa didn't dare to get too close and just took two steps forward, keeping her fingers on the grip of the plasma gun.

The other party seemed really invisible, and it was not even clear whether Alyssa was approaching.

She threw the mushrooms she had just dragged into the house into a steaming pot on the stove. Her dry, black hands looked like they had never had their nails cut. Their nails were long and yellow, and the gaps between her nails were filled with all kinds of dirt.

——A bit disgusting.

At this time, Sanafia pulled Alyssa and waited for her to put her ear close before saying:

“Sister Alyssa, this person seems to be an elf.”

ah?

Elf?

If you look closely, you'll notice that the old woman's ears are very pointed and her bones are somewhat different from those of humans, appearing slender.

But don’t elves never age?

Since elves are one of the common races, almost everyone knows that once an elf reaches adulthood, his appearance will hardly change at all. Until the moment he dies, he will still look young.

But the old woman in front of her had shrunk into a skeleton, and Alyssa didn't even think about the elves.

"Haha, elf? I haven't heard this familiar name for a long time."

The old woman was blind, but her ears were very sensitive and she heard the whispers between Sanafia and Alyssa.

"It's been so many years... I can't remember how long I've been away from the Feywild."

After hearing this, Alyssa realized that this old woman was not only an elf, but also an elegant elf.

Eldrin are a subspecies of elves that live in the Feywild and are the least common type of elves in the mortal world.

Could it be that it was also brought here through the portal?

But why does she age?

A series of question marks popped up in Alyssa's mind, but the other party did not explain it. He shook the creaking rocking chair and said:

"You are looking for something, young men, aren't you?"

This startled Alyssa, and she almost pulled out the gun.

"Treasures, magical items, mysterious connections, gifts from the gods, everything is here. What matters is what you need."

The old woman continued to speak in a whisper, and then laughed again, revealing her dark yellow teeth:

"Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you. Are you afraid of an old man who has trouble walking?"

Alyssa quickly calculated and replied:

"Do you know what we are looking for?"

The other party has already made it clear, so there is no point in pretending to be confused. Alyssa wants to see what this old woman is up to.

"No, I don't, kid."

She said:

"As you can see, I'm just an old man, at most a little special. But what young people pursue is nothing more than fame and fortune."

Seemingly fooled by her, Alyssa asked:

"How long have you been here?"

"It's been so long that I can't remember. I used to travel around and see the sights, but now that I'm old, I can only stay here."

"Did you build the village outside as well?"

"Well, you've got to have some fun, right?"

The old man said, and sighed:

"Some of the local red robes are so unfriendly. I just wanted to invite some people to live with me, but they closed the valley, so I have no choice but to stay here."

Red Robe Man, is she talking about the people from the Glowing Ion Yin Cultivation Society?

Alyssa never figured out what had happened to this planetary fortress that caused all the people responsible for its maintenance to disappear. She could only temporarily attribute it to the fact that it happened too long ago and everyone died.

But from what this person said, she actually had contact with people from the Glow Ion Yin Society.

But most importantly, she mentioned closing the valley.

The so-called closed valley probably means locking all the doors in and out of the mine. This operation is more like trapping the old woman inside.

Alyssa immediately became alert. If the threat was not particularly great, the people from the Glow Ion Yin Society would not use this method.

But Li Chengxi, who always gave warnings when there was danger, said nothing this time. Alyssa was a little suspicious whether he had gone to watch the war again.

While hesitating, the old woman said:

"Look at me. I shouldn't waste the time of young people. I haven't talked to anyone for too long. Only some small animals here will listen to my mumbling."

She tried to get up from the rocking chair, but failed. She almost merged with the rocking chair and had to lean back on it.

"I don't know what you're looking for, but if you want, I can help you."

Alyssa narrowed her eyes slightly:

"What do you need?"

"Alas, it's too utilitarian. After all, they are young people."

The old woman complained:

"I don't need anything. This is the reward for your willingness to listen to me. But if you need my help, please give me a lock of hair."

Nails, hair, blood, these are all media that can be used to release curses. Giving hair to a guy who looks like an old witch is obviously a bit suicidal.

Alyssa's personal fighting skills are not outstanding, but she also knows this common sense. After all, there have been similar stories in fairy tale picture books.

She shook her head and said:

"I'd rather not need your help."

The old woman was not angry and continued to rock in her rocking chair:

"Since there is an elf here, let me remind you that almost everything here can be taken away at will, but there is one thing that you absolutely cannot take."

"What do you mean?"

"When you see it, you will know that it is not that I don't want you to take it, but that it will bring you great disaster."

She stretched out a dry finger and pointed to the top of her head:

"The existence in the dark will not let you go, remember this."

After saying this, the old woman sighed:

"I'm tired, I hope you can remember what I said."

Alyssa was about to ask more questions when she suddenly saw a thick layer of mist filling the cabin. Before the three of them could react, the thick mist had obscured everything in their vision.

The next second, a breeze blew and dispersed the fog.

But there was no old woman in sight, and even the entire cottage had disappeared.

Alyssa looked back and found Lieutenant Dui and others who were on guard behind her. Through their masks, she could see that they were also very surprised.

The hut disappeared in an instant like a wisp of fog.

Alyssa patted her forehead:

"Are we seeing a ghost?"

"Probably not."

Li Chengxi, who had been silent, said in the headset:

"That old woman is indeed an Eladin, but she may be a wizard. Everything you saw may just be a half-truth illusion."

"Did you see that?"

"Yes, but what concerns me is that I can't see the age of that Yaling."

When Li Chengxi right-clicks on the character's attributes, he will see basic data such as name, gender, age and level. The old woman's other data are normal and her level is not high, but the age item alone has three question marks.

There are not many things that can deceive God's eyes. Li Chengxi was somewhat suspicious that the character panel he saw might have been disguised as well.

The reason why he didn't say anything was because if it was really some extremely powerful boss, it would be useless to say anything. Li Chengxi had been silent because he ran to his garage to turn on the projector, ready to pull Alyssa and the others over at any time if there was any danger.
