"But how are you going to thank me?" She looked at him expectantly.

"Bought on the road, freshly baked." He handed her a delicate little bag.

This was not what she expected...but she seemed to like it very much and accepted it happily.

…

The parade soon stopped at the venue of the grand festival.

The young elves, men and women, all gathered in front of the crowd at this time, waiting devoutly...waiting for the moment when the sacrificial girl brought the blessing of the goddess.

Probably tonight, some hotels or single apartments in the village will be doing very good business - old Eric's family is in the apartment business, but at this moment he has not considered whether he should temporarily join

Housing issues.

Because the sacrificial girls who went up the mountain today are the three women of Old Eric’s family... Three sacrifices from one family, such a huge honor has fallen on Old Eric’s head, and he had already fainted with happiness.

.

She held his hand and stood nervously among the crowd. Listening to the whispers of the elves and men, her palms became moist without realizing it.

"Are you nervous?" he asked in a low voice.

"Who isn't nervous?" She said angrily, and then pointed to the front quietly, "Look at them, their bodies are tense. If you say you are nervous... you don't look nervous at all."

"It's not the first time I've participated." He smiled.

"That's true..." She shook her head: "But in the past, I just looked at others, but this time it's different, this time it's ourselves..."

"It's about to begin." He said suddenly.

The sacrificial girl wore a white dress and, accompanied by the black-armored divine envoy, slowly walked to the statue of the goddess... She was praying in a low voice.

In the sky above the goddess statue, a hazy shadow of the goddess is slowly being born.

The village elder grandpa said that young men and women who want to receive blessings should come out and receive the blessings of the goddess... The crowd began to separate.

The young men and women held hands and walked slowly past her and him, but she had no intention of moving at this time.

He looked at her and asked, "Aren't we going?"

But she lowered her head and remained silent...for a while, she gently tugged on his clothes and whispered, "Luo, let's... let's come back next time, okay?"

"Why." He asked in confusion: "No, you have been looking forward to today for a long time."

She raised her head, with a look of fear on her face, "I don't know, I know I'm afraid."

"afraid of what."

"I'm afraid it will be gone." She whispered: "You know, this kind of happiness only comes once in a lifetime... I don't want it to disappear. I don't want it to disappear in the future."

"The elves who want to combine can only participate in the big festival once." He said matter-of-factly.

"That's not the case..." She shook her head and grabbed his clothes tightly, "If, if we only come here this time, then we can come again next time... We will only stop here next time, then we can come again.

You can come again next time. So, just stay here, okay, and we’ll come back next time.”

"Don't you want the ending?" he said softly.

"I don't know...I'm sorry." She lowered her head, then let go of her hand, and ran into the crowd...and disappeared into the crowd.

He was left standing in the middle of the crowd, standing in the middle of the crowd, and then the crowd disappeared, and black flowers bloomed everywhere.

Bit by bit it breaks and disappears.

…

The other shore began to dim a little bit.

She returned to the watermill where she was waiting, and sat here, looking at the disappearing streets, the disappearing crowds, and the gradually stopping stream.

Finally, the whole world disappeared, and only this lonely watermill was left... She was still sitting here.

Suddenly, the sound of squeaking pedals sounded along with the arrival of footsteps... She turned around suddenly.

"Luo... why are you..." She stood up in panic, her face pale, "Don't come! You disappear! You disappear first! I will be fine soon! I will be fine soon! We

We'll meet again later...you disappear first!"

He still walked in front of her... The ever-expanding darkness could not touch him in the end - until he finally came in front of her.

"I've been here for a long time." He looked at her and said, "This is the thousandth time... Miss Mayfair, aren't you willing to wake up?"

"I don't want to listen -!" She hugged her ears tightly, "I don't want to listen to you! You disappear! You disappear!! I will create a new beginning right away... You disappear! You disappear!

!!”

"If I really disappear." He said softly: "Then, can you still find this location... Miss Mayfair, I came here to respond to your expectations."

She stared at him blankly.

He said calmly: "I think it's enough...what is your wish?"

"Can...can you give me another candy?" She raised her head and smiled sadly, "This is what I said."

Saying this, Miss Elf rushed forward desperately, hugged his body tightly, stood on tiptoes, and encountered the sweet taste that she had been looking forward to for a long time.

for a long time.

…

White patterns bloomed from the feet of Miss Elf in an instant... Like ripples falling in water, they spread slowly, fading away all the darkness.

What follows is a pure world.

"Thank you for accompanying me a thousand times."

Miss Elf opened her hands wider, gave him a smile at last, and slowly closed her eyes... Finally, Miss Elf's body turned into a ray of light.

When the light faded from Miss Elf's body again, she no longer looked like Mayfair... but looked like a smaller, little girl.
