Elf Archer of Life in Another World

Under the yew tree, one person is playing the xun, while the other is listening quietly.

Every year, I took advantage of the new year and was not paying attention. I secretly glanced around with my peripheral vision, feeling helpless.

There was no one around five or six meters around the yew tree. Xingtianxia and the Qilin Army exchanged camps. The Christmas Clown mercenary group was surrounded by the Qilin Army. Those few people were nowhere to be seen.

In this way, she was isolated to this older brother with unknown emotions in front of her. Not only did she have to be obedient and listen to the songs with admiration on her face, but she also had to smile sweetly and call her brother again from time to time.

Every year I feel like I am the one who is about to have an emotional breakdown.

The gentle breeze blew by, and the leaves rustled, as if to accompany the soft music, and suddenly there was a bit of silence around Nian Nian.

Nian Nian closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, he threw himself into Sara's arms with curved eyebrows.

"Tsk, tsk, after all, he is a decent person, and he still manages to get into this situation," Nick said in a light tone. Sarah glared at him and immediately stopped, "What a sensible and good boy."

Not long after Nick came back, he heard something from the serious-looking twins, and they were scorning these useless guys.

He is not interested in computing resources or the meaning of the existence of virtual reality, but since Niannian so thoughtfully wants to abide by the rules of the game world, he will not instruct Niannian to continue cheating.

But these guys actually allowed those rookies to circle away Nian Nian and use them as a placebo for the physically and mentally fragile brother. Nick only felt that as the leader of this mercenary group, his IQ had also been lowered.

Sara did not talk to Nian Nian more, she still wanted to continue to maintain the projection under the yew tree. After Nian was "copied and pasted" by her water magic to her side, the original true image turned into a phantom.

It breaks when touched. Just relying on her familiarity with Nian Nian, this phantom is no different from the real person from the changes in expression to the subtle movements. It should be able to confuse the president for a moment.

"To make a long story short, there is no way you can continue like this." Nick said seriously.

"I think so too." Nian Nian nodded.

Several members of the Christmas Clown Mercenary Group were surrounded by the Qilin Army's tent. York was combing the hair of Mrs. Morgan, the big mouse. Kraft took out a lot of gear parts and various machinery to play with. The twins were holding

His newly made airship model is drooling.

The model was quite large. John walked around it, observing and studying it curiously.

Everyone seemed not to see Nian Nian sitting with Nick, but they all blocked the eyes of the soldiers outside.

"But let's not talk about his problem first," the silver knife danced on Nick's fingertips again, light and dangerous, he asked, "Are you okay?"

"I..." Nian Nian thought about it and said frankly, "I was really in a bad mood at first and thought about some random things, but after I understood the reason, I felt there was no need to be afraid."

"What were you afraid of at that time?" The knife rolled down from between the fingers of the ring finger, and with a hook of the little finger, the sharp tip touched the palm of the hand.

"I'm afraid..." Niannian tried to capture the momentary fear he had, "I'm probably afraid that you will call me Mianmian too."

"You think too much," Nick yawned, throwing the knife up and down, "You are just our cy, Nian Nian and Mian Mian are not good."

"Doesn't it sound good?" Nian Nian scratched his head, "Speaking of which, why did I choose the name Nian Nian? Is it because the pronunciation is similar?"

Nick shrugged. When he first met the child, he heard her introduce herself to others as Cybele. She only told him the name Nian Nian a few days before going to China.

"It feels like there are so many mysteries in my past." Nian Nian held his chin and sighed.

"A mystery is better than confusion." Nick paused and glanced at Sarah. Sarah was turning to look at him, it must be that the skill time limit is about to expire.

"The more you have, the more afraid you are of losing it. The more you cooperate with him, the more unable he is to wake up. You have to let him face reality." Nick finished quickly and added, "Remember what I told you about Intuition before?

The story of the Ship of Hughes?”

Nian Nian nodded, her eyes flashed with flowers, and the thick tree shadows once again covered her, and she subconsciously raised her head.

Shi Sui's face was as gentle as she had ever seen.

...

"Is she really okay?" Sara asked.

"Didn't she say it's okay?" Nick spread his hands, and the silver knife flew from his left hand to his right hand.

"...I suddenly don't know if this is a good thing." Sarah looked worriedly in the direction of the yew tree.

"For her, this is the best." Nick leaned back, the swirling air current held up his body, and two fingers with sharp joints held the handle of the knife, and the tip of the knife swayed in front of his eyes, "No

Emotional animals cannot sustain long-term longing, love and hate. For a long life, this is the best."

Sara grabbed Nick's hand and looked at him seriously: "I believe our Cy, she won't..."

Sarah was speechless.

"She won't forget, she just won't be too sad about our departure." Nick looked at her and smiled.

"Speaking of it this way," Sara also smiled, "it's really good."

...

Ship of Theseus. This is a wooden ship.

The hero Theseus and other brave Athenian young people returned from their adventure in Crete and left the ship as a monument. However, as time passed, the wood of the ship gradually decayed, and the residents of Athens would use new wood.

Repair instead.

If the planks in this ship are gradually replaced until every plank is no longer the same plank, will the new Ship of Theseus still be the same ship?

If so, which part of the ship is it?

If not, then at what moment did it become no longer true?

As a nian who has been tortured by Nick's various stories "since childhood", this most boring story is the one that left the deepest impression on her.

But, what does this have to do with being old?

Do you want me to tell him a story?

Every year I peek at it, I get a bit of a headache. No matter how good the music is, I get a little tired of it after listening to it too much.

"Are you tired of hearing that?"

Nian Nian nodded subconsciously, was horrified, and got up hurriedly: "No, no, I, that, brother, I didn't listen."

"Sit down." Shi Sui pulled her and sat against the tree.

"You..." Nian Nian carefully observed this man's expression.

"It's okay for the time being." Shisui smiled and sighed, "It's really embarrassing. I didn't expect that I lost my mind all of a sudden and my mind was confused for so long, which made everyone laugh."

Temporarily? These two words jingled in Nian Nian's mind, sounding a first-level warning.

"I've been fine for a long time. I've been trying to challenge advanced tasks just now," Shi Sui shook his head with regret, "I still can't control my emotions well."

"It's okay, it's okay. It doesn't matter if you can't control your emotions. Just be happy." She smiled every year. When did this person become sober?

"Come and chat with me, let me change my mood." Shi Sui thought for a while and suggested, "Why don't you tell some more stories and I'll see if I can find some inspiration."

"What kind of inspiration do you need?" I look forward to every year.

"Everything is fine, what do you want to talk about?" Shisui replied casually. He was happy, angry and sad, but he just couldn't grasp the turning points of these four emotions.

Probably because he didn't want to stir up those memories that were too profound.

"The Story of the Ship of Theseus?" Wink every year.

Nian Nian didn't answer. Nian Nian lowered her head in embarrassment. She seemed a little too anxious, and she should have figured out the purpose of the story first.

"I know what you want to say."

Warm palms stroke the top of Nian Nian's hair, which makes Nian Nian feel a little lonely.

"Give me a little more time."

She doesn't know why she is nian. She thinks that if she is nian, she will be less entangled but more stubborn.

"Mianmian, you've grown up, but it's a pity that I'm not used to it yet." Shisui said with a smile.
