It was almost 9 o'clock in the evening in the tree house where Ask was staying.
Although the visible light inside the Gloomy Forest is not strong and there is not much difference between day and night, once night falls, the insects begin to chirp collectively as if they were set to an alarm clock.
"In fact, insects make sounds to court mates!" Nora explained to everyone, "Generally, male insects make beautiful and melodious sounds to attract the female insects they like."
"Really?" Mia asked curiously, "If I imitate their calls, will it attract female insects to come and play with me?"
Nora:
"First of all, you can't imitate their sounds accurately..." She was speechless.
"But Sister Nora, you can use the laws of evolution to create the vocal organs of insects, right?" Xiaomia asked.
"I won't do such a boring thing." Nora had no choice but to refuse firmly.
"Why? But I think it's fun!" Mia was still trying to pester her. "When those nasty female insects heard the sound, they rushed over to look for male insects like cats smelling fish, but they found nothing. Isn't this interesting?"
Other girls in the room: …
Why do I suddenly feel like I'm being criticized...
But thinking that it was Xiaomia who said this, and that children speak without restraint, everyone pretended not to hear.
"So what's going on? You all booked your own rooms, but why are you all gathered here with me?" Ask wanted to complain, but he sensed that the atmosphere was not right, so he kept quiet very rationally.
"Hey, look over there." Sheila, who was standing by the window, suddenly said.
Everyone came to the window and looked down as Sheila pointed. They saw several pairs of half-elf men and women snuggling together by the lake below, admiring the reflection of the moon on the lake.
“Because there are no trees blocking the view above the lake, this is probably one of the few places in the Dark Forest where you can see the sky,” Sheila said with emotion.
For nearly two years, she has been traveling with the team from the east to the west of the continent. When can she return to her hometown and see the sky of Constantinople again
Hometown... The little princess was somewhat sentimental at the sight. She felt tears starting to well up in the corners of her eyes and sniffed hard.
"Mi'er, what do you think when you see your fellow people?" Ask asked casually.
"To be honest, I don't have any feelings." Mi'er said helplessly.
She grew up in Constantinople, and because of her pink hair, green eyes, and delicate skin, she was often looked at as an oddball by the citizens around her. However, after being in the team for so long and establishing a close bond with everyone, she no longer cared much about being a half-elf.
It's great to meet the leader and everyone... Thinking of this, the half-elf girl couldn't help but gradually move closer to the leader next to her.
Before he could even touch Ask, he bumped lightly into Eleanor.
"Sorry, are you okay?" Eleanor quickly supported Mi'er who was about to fall.
"It's okay." Mi'er stood up shyly, her expression slightly embarrassed.
