Chapter 7 Chapter 5 Elf Brothers

The doctor and his party walked along Highway 5 to the Avon River Bridge. The autumn night was a bit cool, but the rain had stopped.The forest on both sides of Highway 5 was quiet, and the sound of the Avon River in the distance was the only sound in the quiet night. There is indeed a notice board erected by the police at the head of the Avon River Bridge, saying that the road ahead is dangerous, and cars going to Birmingham can detour to other roads or something.A few people took a quick look and walked onto the bridge. The sound of running water under the bridge became more clearly heard, and the doctor looked down at the river, but it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.Several people did not speak. They were probably afraid of being discovered by monsters, even though they were still several kilometers away from the crime scene.

After crossing the Avon River Bridge, everyone crossed the guardrail on the roadside and entered the forest. The residence of the elves closest to the crime scene is in the forest on the south side of the road after crossing the bridge.After entering the forest, the doctor took out the flashlight. Helen and Benjamin followed the doctor. It had just rained and the road in the forest was difficult to walk. The doctor kept reminding the two little assistants behind to be careful. Paul walked in the front. He turned on the night vision function. At the same time, he used the monster early warning system to search for traces of the elves.

One of the biggest advantages of following Paul is that you will never get lost. Paul's wayfinding function is based on his super powerful global positioning system. Doctor, there are definitely elves in this area.Paul suddenly stopped and said, but he kept his voice as low as possible, I can smell the elf's smell, and you see what is at my feet? According to Paul's prompt, the doctor shined a flashlight on Paul's feet, and several clearly visible small footprints appeared under the beam of light. These footprints were about the same size as those of a four- or five-year-old child, and they looked very cute.But the doctor and the others all understand that you must not expect to find the elf along the footprints, because the elves have wings and can fly. It is impossible for such a long list of footprints to lead you directly to the elf's home.

It is estimated that it was left when picking wild fruits here.The flashlight shone around and said. The doctor was right, there was a bush two meters away, it was full of berries, and there were a lot of berry skins on the ground, nuts and berries were elves' favorite food. Keep going, you're sure to find it.The Doctor whispered, I think we're getting closer to the elves. If we find them, will they welcome us?Helen has a doubt. I don't know, but they are all very reasonable.The doctor said and continued to walk deep into the dense forest. When he was only one kilometer away from the green dot displayed on the screen, Paul stood still again. He raised his head and looked around vigilantly. He even sucked his nose a few times, his expression seemed a little nervous.

I think I heard something, and I smelled a very strong elf smell up front.Paul told the doctor that it was about three hundred meters ahead. Invisibility and invisibility are all seen.The doctor recited a formula, because elves live in stealth, and only after reciting such a formula can the doctor see them. Hearing the doctor recite the mantra, Helen and Benjamin also followed suit. All right, follow me, and we'll go quietly.The doctor waved his hand, don't scare them away, they fly so fast. Helen and Benjamin followed the doctor softly, while Paul led the way in front of the doctor. Now he smelled more elves, and heard lively voices.

I heard that there seems to be a TV show over there.Paul listened and said at the same time, it came from the underground over there. What?TV drama?Benjamin was so surprised that he almost yelled, why would anyone watch TV here? Definitely a TV show.Paul said with certainty, come with me. There was a little light in the grass in front of us. Everyone approached the light slowly, trying not to make any noise. Paul stopped fifty meters away from the light. found it.Paul restrained his excitement and whispered, the front is the kind of semi-cave dwelling that elves like to live in, a hole is dug below, some branches are put on it, and grass is spread on it, but I don’t know how it glows inside.

Lighten up everyone, let's go take a look.The doctor nodded, then whispered, and he turned off the switch of the flashlight. A few people quietly approached the elf's burrow. When they were two or three meters away from the burrow, the doctor made a stop gesture. Everyone squatted next to the burrow covered by a pile of grass, and there was a lot of light in the grass. It flickered and flickered, and there were some changes in color.But ordinary people can't see these even when they come here, because the elves can make everything around them invisible as well. Everyone was shocked by the sound coming from the cave. There seemed to be a TV playing a romance movie, and the men and women in the movie were arguing about something.

Everyone heard the voice from inside and looked at each other.After a while, the noise from the TV suddenly stopped. Jiali brand cat food is available in major supermarkets. Jiali Jiali, a new sound came from the cat's favorite burrow. Obviously this is an advertisement inserted in the middle of a TV series. It's annoying, it's an ad again.There was an elf's voice in the burrow, and all the elves' voices were husky and funny, and the doctor could tell it right away. Brother, pass me the hazelnuts. Eat less, it is not good to eat too much at night. I know, you are really long-winded.

There was the sound of two elves talking inside. The doctor smiled and nodded to Helen and Benjamin. There was no doubt that the elves were next. What does it smell like? !An elf suddenly cursed, it was much worse than what I ate five hundred years ago. Don't be too particular, brother, it's the greenhouse effect, global warming.Another elf said that animals and plants are all affected, and it cannot be compared with what it was five hundred years ago. The greenhouse effect and the greenhouse effect are all good things done by human beings.Brother Elf said persistently, spoiling my good appetite, hey, human beings outside, come in, I already knew you were coming

The doctors who were squatting outside almost fainted when they heard this, these little things are really elves. Sorry to bother you.The doctor stood up while speaking, and he turned on the flashlight to take a picture on the grass, and found an entrance, which was covered with a small door. The doctor opened the small door with a smile on his assistants, walked down a few steps, and entered the cave. The cave was quite spacious, with sofas, seats and other furniture. A TV was on. There is also a large refrigerator. The two cute elves are only over one meter tall, and they sit on the sofa without looking up. Their hair is gray-green, with big eyes, long ears, and chubby little paws.The most peculiar thing is that the two elves are wearing sportswear, but it is a bit old, and there are a few small holes on it that are probably scratched by branches.

What's the matter, boys?One of the elves asked casually, and he peeled a hazelnut and put it in his mouth while talking, you people who know a little bit of magic are always bothering us. You call me two?Benjamin and Helen asked in trepidation, because they had heard the elf say children. Including him too.Another elf pointed to the doctor, and my brother was talking about you. us?Benjamin pointed to himself and then to the doctor in surprise, and said, we are children, but Dr. Nansen is 120 years old this year. That's still a child.Brother Elf said disdainfully, my brother is over 500 years old, and I am over 300 years old, sorry, I am too old and have forgotten the exact age ah?Benjamin looked at the doctor, the doctor shrugged at him, so they found the old elves, doctor, I just heard them say five hundred years ago or something And the doctor didn't even tell our age.Brother Elf asked, where did you cheat to get your degree? Me, my degree is from Stafford College.The doctor accompanied Xiaoxin and said, sorry to disturb you two. What?Brother Elf, who had been sitting on the sofa eating hazelnuts, suddenly looked up at the doctor. His attitude seemed to have changed. Are you a graduate of Stafford College? Yes. Okay, very good, tell me earlier, please sit down!Brother Elf said and stood up, but no matter how you look at him, he doesn’t look old. More than 300 years ago, a monster who passed by us bullied me. It just so happened that the principal of your college, Decker, also passed by. Just help me fight off that monster and save my life It turned out to be like this.The doctor was very happy to hear that Decker was the principal of our school more than 300 years ago, and he is no longer the principal now. Yes, hundreds of years have passed.Brother Elf pointed to his younger brother and introduced, this is my younger brother, who are you? I'm Nansen and this is my assistants Helen and Benjamin.The doctor hurriedly introduced his assistant to the old elf brother, and Paul, who is also my assistant. Thanks to the timely assistance of the old headmaster of Stafford College hundreds of years ago, the atmosphere in this room became harmonious, and the doctor and the others sat on the chairs.Brother Elf gave Helen and Benjamin a basket of hazelnuts, and the two children immediately waved their hands, neither of them interested in this kind of food. Brother, they are human beings, so don't eat this.Brother Elf criticized his younger brother, then looked at the two children and said, sorry, I didn’t expect someone to be a guest, I don’t have anything to entertain you here You old man must not be polite.Helen said very politely. Do you still have a TV?Benjamin uttered the question he'd always wanted to ask. Yes, I picked it up, powered by batteries.Brother Elf said and ate another hazelnut. I also picked the battery. You humans are quite smart.I used to always fly to the opera house to see the opera, now with this guy called TV, I don't have to go to the opera house anymore Did you always fly into the city to see the opera?Helen asked curiously. Yes, when I was young, I had been to London, Liverpool, Birmingham, and Paris.Brother Elf began his narration. I always go to the city, and I encounter many things. I also saw George III’s coronation. Of course, George III couldn’t see me, so I ignored him. Hahaha Doctor, they were all amused, and almost forgot the purpose of coming here. Don't laugh, now that I am old, I seldom have contact with you humans.Brother Elf slowly raised his hand and gestured. It seemed that he was very excited to have an audience. When I was young, I still cared about you humans.During the Second World War, in order to help the Americans land in Normandy with the British, I asked some friends to help them, but I didn’t expect them to solve it by themselves. Hey, the action is quite fast Helen looked back at the doctor and stuck out her tongue. She really couldn't imagine the outcome of the Norman Landing with the help of the elves. So what kind of TV show do you like to watch now?Paul is sort of a TV buff, he asked. This human being is getting smarter and smarter, even his own dog can talk.Brother Elf looked at Paul and talked about his hobbies, TV dramas, football games, cooking shows, quiz quiz shows I also love to watch knowledge quiz competition shows.Paul said excitedly. Yeah?There was a question yesterday that almost stumped me.That question is where is the deepest trench in the world. I thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember it.The host finally said that it was the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean.Brother Elf spoke very vigorously, and I thought, that is, I have a distant cousin living there, he is a water elf The two assistants were still listening to the old story with great interest, and the doctor was a little restless. They didn't come here to chat, but had important tasks to complete. The elf brother next to him could see what the doctor was thinking. I said brother, I must have something to do when I come today. Oh yes.Brother Elf patted his head, sorry, what can you do? The doctor immediately told the two elves about the strange case that happened on Highway 5, and he specifically asked if there were any signs of monsters in the nearby forest recently. You said monsters, but I didn't see them.Brother Elf stopped talking about those past events and became serious, but some strange things have indeed happened here these days, right, brother? That's right.replied the elf brother. what strange thing?The doctor suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the room became tense, and there were not many things that could make the elves feel strange. There is a large pond in the forest about a few thousand meters away from us, and some nights there is light shining there, as if something is flying over it.Brother Elf pointed to the outside. I don’t know if it was done by monsters. Our elves are very sensitive to monsters within 500 meters around us. Five hundred meters away is beyond our sensing range. I didn’t go there to see what happened. What, but my brother went. Yes, I've been there twice.Brother Elf took what his brother said, but he didn't find anything. When I flew over, it was already very calm. Is there a light in the big pond?Where is the specific location?asked the doctor. In the northwest of our place, about three or four kilometers away from here.The elf brother said that it is very close to the accident site of the iron-clad meat road you mentioned, and it is in the forest to the south of the iron-clad meat road. What?What is Iron-clad Meat Road?Helen asked puzzled. It’s the road you mentioned, and the things that run on the road, you call it a car, we call it an iron-clad meat, which means steel wrapped in muscle.The elf brother explained. Ha, interesting, iron-clad meat!The doctor and others all laughed. correct.Brother Elf remembered something again. These nights, I heard a loud sound of water from the other side of the pond several times, as if something had come and gone from the pond. Yes, I heard that too, and I heard the iron-clad horn coming from there.Brother Elf went on to say, I was still wondering why some iron-clad meat had entered the woods. Did you hear a car horn in the forest?The doctor widened his eyes and asked, yes, it was the sound of the iron-clad horn. I think so, and on more than one occasion, now that I have heard the cases you have mentioned, it seems that some monster may have brought the iron-clad meat into the woods.Brother Elf nodded, but the monsters probably don't have the guts to move around in this area. That is, your Stafford College is not far to the north.Brother Elf added, how could monsters dare to come here to make trouble? I think so, but when did you hear the sound or see the light over there?the doctor asked anxiously. A few days ago, I can't remember the exact time.Brother Elf frowned and thought hard, but just before you came, I seemed to hear some sound of water and horns coming from there, but I didn't see any light appearing. Just now?Benjamin cried out loudly, did you mean just now? Yes, not long before you came.Brother Elf spoke with certainty. Doctor, this should be related to Anderson's murder, right? I think so.The doctor nodded. Strange, what is on the other side of the pond?Helen thought about it. This is a very important clue.After thinking for a while, the doctor said slowly, then he looked at the two elders of the elves, I am really grateful to you two, the clues you provided are very valuable Don't keep saying thank you.Brother Elf has returned to his naughty nature. He often comes to chat with us in the future. We love chatting with you children. It’s a pity that our children have all moved away. Do you know the greenhouse effect?They all went to the cool north, the old stories have no audience, and we don't want to leave our hometown All right, all right, bro.Elf brother persuaded his talkative elder brother, he was here to handle the case, but he was not as free as we were. We are indeed here to handle the case.The doctor smiled apologetically, stood up and said, we will come to chat with you again, and we will also leave our address in London to welcome you two as guests. You are welcome to come.Helen also stood up, I still want to hear the old story! Me too.Benjamin said that he was a little bit reluctant to part with these two lovely old elves. Well, I have many old stories to tell you.Brother Elf smiled and looked at the children including the doctor. And me.Paul was afraid of leaving him behind. OK, talking puppy. We walked.The doctor said goodbye to the two elf elders very politely. Although no signs of monsters were found, you should be careful, some monsters are still very clever and cunning. Do not worry!Little friend, Brother Elf, look up at the doctor, we will be careful. After bidding farewell to the two interesting elders of the elves, the doctor led his assistants and walked out of the forest. Helen quickly ran a few steps to catch up with the doctor. Doc doc, shall we go to the pond? I thought about this, but Brother Elf said that he went there twice and found nothing.The doctor stopped and said, let's not go for now.If only we could fly too Can fly?Benjamin didn't know why the doctor said that. Yes, now our magic power can only be two meters above the ground and then move about one hundred meters in the air. It is okay to cross a small river, but not on a wider water surface.The doctor said regretfully that if there were any monsters with deep magic power hiding there, we would undoubtedly be in the bright spot by walking there with flashlights, and it would be dangerous to be attacked by surprise. Just look at the situation over there. So what do we do?Helen asked anxiously. Go back to the gas station first, I think it's best to lure out the monster hiding in the dark, so that we can do things more conveniently.Dr. said. lure him out?Benjamin touched his head and asked, how to lead? Go back to discuss and discuss, doesn't he like cars?The doctor's eyes sparkled. Didn't he get all the cars into the woods? The doctor hurriedly left the forest with his assistants and headed for the gas station.After a while, they reached Highway No. 5, and Paul no longer needed to lead the way when they got on the highway.
