陶醉的妻子

Aurdis came to Erend, Billy, and Lt.Boartusk's room. But what greeted him was emptiness. There is no one in this room. Aurdis was confused about where all the residents of this room going.

Erend suddenly came out from behind the bathroom door. The man came out with only a white towel wrapped around his waist.

The sweet smell of soap entered Aurdis' nose, making her flinch for a moment.

"Oh, you here?" Erend was surprised to see Aurdis' presence in this room.

He immediately rushed to the wardrobe and took the clothes provided for them.

"A-Ah, yeah..." Aurdis swallowed her saliva. Erend's body turned out to be quite burly and paler than she thought. On the man's body, there were also wounds which for some reason didn't make his body look bad but made it even more charming in Aurdis' eyes.

"Uhhm, please turn around," Erend said.

Aurdis' eyes widened at his words. She flinched again then immediately turned around without saying anything.

'Wait, he didn't tell me to get out of this room.' Aurdis' mind began to stir. She heard a rustling sound because Erend must be starting to put his pants on.

Aurdis tightened her fists. Then her head started to turn slowly.

'Maybe just a little.' Aurdis thought. But it turned out that once Aurdis had seen Erend, it turned out that he was already dressed. She sighed in disappointment.

The physiques of humans and elves were not much different. The only thing that set them apart was the Elf's pointed ears and their hair which was mostly silver or gold in color.

Aurdis once thought that humans and Elves might have been descended from the same ancestor. But until now she had never managed to get any concrete evidence.

"I'm done," Erend said.

Again Aurdis flinched because her mind had moved to another place for a moment.

"Oh, okay." Aurdis immediately turned her body back towards Erend. Erend was already wearing white clothes like they wore every day.

"You know where Billy and Lt.Boartusk are?" Erend asked.

Aurdis shook her head. "No. I thought they were here."

Erend thought that the two of them were in a dungeon. He didn't know what else they might ask Anna. But whatever it was it seemed like it would be something useful for them.

Erend would trust the two of them and leave the matter to them.

"What do you want to say?" Erend asked Aurdis.

"I was just wondering when you'd be going back there," Aurdis replied.

Erend sat on his bed. While Aurdis sat on the bed occupied by Lt.Boartusk.

Lt.Boartusk's bed was in the middle between Erend's bed on his left and Billy's on his right.

"Can you do it today?" Erend asked.

"Yes." Aurdis nodded. "You want to do it today?"

Erend nodded. "I think the sooner the better. But I have to wait for Lt.Boartusk's decision first."

"Lt. Boartusk is your leader, isn't he? I see you always follow his orders for important decisions," Aurdis said.

"Yeah. You must know about warriors. There's someone at the helm among them. To me and Billy and everyone else in our bunker, Lt. Boartusk is that leader."

Aurdis' face suddenly became gloomy. "You must be suffering because of us, don't you? I'm sorry."

Erend looked at Aurdis. He only felt that he had a good relationship with Aurdis, not all the Elves.

All Elf races were arrogant creatures and had sky-high pride. Even after killing many humans on the orders of their stupid leader, they still saw Erend, Billy, and Lt. Boartusk as if the three of them were at fault.

Erend hates the Elves but they can't do anything. Because this place is the only shelter for them.

But Aurdis is different. The girl is very different from her big brother like heaven and hell. If indeed heaven and hell exist.

Aurdis wants to help them. She is the one who always tries to solve problems without any bloodshed or violence. She saw the three of them as equal beings. Her attitude was the complete opposite of all the Elves in this palace.

But even so, Aurdis still feels guilty for the actions committed by her people. Erend is sure that Aurdis is the only Elf who feels guilty towards humans.

"You were innocent. So you don't have to apologize," Erend said. "If you apologize for your people, it's pointless. They will never feel guilty for what they did."

Aurdis looked at him and bit her lip. "You are right."

She realized that her people were indeed like that. Elves were a race that was hailed as the race with the most magical power in this Realm.

Even so, they didn't use that power to help other races. But only to maintain their power and position.

"You don't have to be sad. You saved us, remember?" Erend said.

Aurdis nodded. "Yes."

Erend smiled at her. His smile reaches Aurdis and she finally begins to smile too.

Not long after that, Billy and Lt. Boartusk came into the room.

"Uh oh. Did we bother you guys?" Billy asked.

"No. We're just talking," Aurdis replied.

"Oh, good."

Then Billy and Lt. Boartusk tell Erend that they got some more useful information.

After that, they continued to discuss what they would say when they met the woman.

The late night came and the four of them were ready. Aurdis and the three humans are now back in the garden where the Portal used to be opened.

Aurdis doesn't only play a role in opening and closing Portals. But she said that she could use her Magic to 'convince' the woman.

When they got the offer, of course, Erend, Billy, and Lt. Boartusk didn't argue. They immediately agreed.

"What if there's someone there?" Billy asked.

"You already know what to do," Lt.Boartusk replied.

"Yeah." Billy sighed. "We have to keep them from being a nuisance."

"Are you ready?" Aurdis asked.

"Yes!" Lt. Boartusk answered on behalf of all of them. Aurdis stretched her arms forward. A small white vortex appeared and grew bigger.
