The wind outside the window was getting louder and louder.

There were bright yellow flames burning in the brazier, crackling and smoke.

Siber sat in front of the brazier and looked at the burning object in the basin curiously. It should be the grease peeled off from some monster, and it smelled strange when it burned.

He turned his gaze around again, and what caught his eye was the house that was dilapidated but neatly managed, only because of the dark greasy filth on the walls that seemed not so clean.

There were many shelves hanging on the walls of the house, filled with all kinds of fragments of items. Cyber ​​could vaguely identify some tools and decorations that were obviously elven-style, as well as many black bones and bottles and jars containing unknown things.

The ground was filled with many mud discs, filled with sticky black fluid, and there were tips made of some kind of worm silk inserted on it. It was burning with flames, shining brightly, like oil lamps.

The cute elf girl Esther was squatting down, carefully blowing out the "oil lamps" one by one, collecting the black fluid and putting it into a bag, and then folding the mud discs one by one.

At this time, Cyber ​​also understood why when you were outdoors, the light in the windows of this house was obviously brighter than that of other houses. It should be these "oil lamps" that were shining.

There was no fourth person in the room except for the Elf father and daughter and Cyber.

It is obvious that before Dorey returns, the elf girl Esther should be staying at home alone.

Cyber ​​did not ask the girl’s mother where she was.

He was afraid of asking a sad story.

Dorey sat on the other side of the brazier, dealing with the trophy he brought back, mostly some black pieces of meat, emitting an unpleasant smell, which made Cyber ​​couldn't help but frown.

However, Doray seemed to be used to it.

The ugly-looking frost elf was crossing his legs, skillfully cutting pieces of meat with a rusty dagger, shave off the sticky grease and put it into the prepared bottle.

Looking at the thick liquid, Cyber ​​felt that he should know what the fuel was to light up those "oil lamps" and the brazier.

Esther quickly packed up the oil lamp.

Then, in Cyber's curious eyes, her figure disappeared into another room with slightly dim light on the inside of the house.

Because Dorey, who was sitting on the other side, just blocked his sight, he couldn't see clearly the situation in the other room, and could only hear the girl's "step-by-step" footsteps and the humming tunes, and occasionally some water flow.

She seemed to be in a good mood.

After a while, Esther's figure appeared in Cyber's sight again. This time, she had a patterned mud pot and three potholes in her hand.

She flew to the two of them like a cheerful butterfly, knelt down gently, and then poured a cup of tea for Cyber, Dore and himself.

"Dad, guest, thank you all the way, have some water!"

Her voice was crisp and nice, like a yellow oriole.

After doing this, she disappeared into the darkness, like a cheerful little rabbit.

What a cute kid...

Cyber ​​couldn't help but think of this in his heart.

After walking all the way, he felt a little thirsty, so he picked up the cup.

However, when he picked up the cup, he looked at the unknown liquid in the cup, but he was slightly hesitant.

It was a turbid liquid, with a light layer of oil floating on it, emitting an indescribable fishy smell.

Cyber:...

Is this water?!

Cyber's sense of smell told him that his body was rejecting this unknown liquid.

But when he looked at Dorey, he found that he had already picked up the cup and drank it all in one go.

The expression of this silent frost elf was very normal, and it seemed that it was not affected by the fishy smell of this "tea".

Cyber:...

He twitched the corners of his mouth, and admired the other person from the bottom of his heart.

This "tea"... he felt nauseated just after smelling it.

"Guest? Isn't it to your taste?"

At this moment, Esther's voice came over again.

Cyber ​​subconsciously looked over and saw the elf girl standing at the door of the inner room, holding a tray in her hand, and there were three mud bowls containing something on it.

She was tilting her little head and looking at Cyber ​​with her big shiny eyes.

The pure eyes, which looked like a newborn beast, made it difficult for Cyber ​​to say the word "no".

"This is the juice of the abyss worms, which has been purified."

At this time, Dorey's low and dumb voice came over.

After saying that, he started coughing violently again, took a few deep breaths before he recovered.

Cyber ​​noticed that the pus on his face had vaguely cracked even harder, and yellow pus flowed out.

"dad!"

Esther let out a low voice, put down the tray in his hand, ran to Dore, knelt on the ground and took out a strip of cloth that could not be distinguished, and gently wiped the pus from Dorere's face.

The girl's movements were very gentle.

"Does it hurt..."

Her voice trembled a little, and her expression was full of worry.

However, Doray gently pushed her away and said in a panic:

"Don't...don't touch me, it's dirty."

Under the shadowy flames, Esther's delicate side face formed a sharp contrast with Dorey's hideous appearance. The worry in the girl's eyes and the helpless expression of her father reflected each other, blending into one under the fire.

Looking at this scene, Cyber's nose felt inexplicably sore.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and drank the juice from the cup in one go.

Fishy smell.

Spicy and sour.

However, it is not as depressing as Cyber's current heart.

He didn't understand what these elves suffered to have fallen to this point.

Abyss Worm…

Is this an abyss?

The flames in the brazier were crackling, and the door was shattered by the wind.

Esther stood up, lifted the tray again, hiding the worries on his face, and replacing a smile that looked like spring sunshine:

"Dad, guest, are you hungry? Esther has prepared food and fills his stomach!"

As she said that, she brought the mud bowl on the tray to the two of them.

After hearing Esther's words, Cyber ​​felt a little hungry, but with the previous "tea" in front of him, he had already felt a little mentally prepared.

With his eyes down, he looked at the food the girl handed him.

They were air-dried jerky pieces, black and clean.

Unlike the delicious jerky that Cyber ​​often serves as dry food, these black jerky also exudes a faint fishy smell, which is disgusting.

In addition, there are some strange blocks that seem to be fungi, and the smell is not quite satisfactory.

Cyber ​​no longer wants to think about why elves will start eating meat without the influence of players.

He doubted whether there would be any problems with these scents...

Cyber ​​held the mud bowl with a hesitant expression, but Esther and Dorey had already taken action.

I saw them put the mud bowl on their chests and gently closed their eyes, with a quiet and pious expression.

Their lips moved slightly and they began to pray.

The flames in the brazier were flickering and snapping.

The two of them murmuring prayers also came to the ears of the keen hearing Cyber:

"A kind and great Mother Goddess..."

"You are the master of life, you are the mother of nature..."

"May you bless your confused people and find true light in the darkness..."

Cyber ​​opened his mouth slightly, his expression full of surprise.

Life is the master of...

Mother of Nature...

This is the name of Goddess Eve!

But...why did the goddess not respond?
