Bringing Culture to a Different World

It happened so fast that Ravel didn’t have time to react.

When he thought he was about to be killed by the Dark Elf, the voice from the magic net saved his life.

Now that Ravel was sitting quietly in front of the Dark Elf, the crazy expression on the Dark Elf’s face gradually calmed down.

She had been using a language Ravel could not understand to communicate with someone in the magic network.

Ravel guessed that it was a language unique to elves. He observed the expression on the Dark Elf’s face, from surprise to disdain, and finally, despair.

He looked up at the Dark Elf in front of him. They were less than two meters apart, and this dark elf could easily take her life.

“How long have you been here?”

Suddenly, the Dark Elf asked Ravel in human language.

“Seventeen… days.”

Ravel had also used the voice communication function of a text message. He knew that his conversation with the Dark Elf would be heard by His Majesty the King.

This Dark Elf was the only one who could communicate in the dungeon. Although she was very dangerous… she was also an excellent information provider.

“Seventeen days.”A contemptuous smile appeared on the Dark Elf’s face. “Have you looked in the mirror?”

Ravel was reminded of this. An ice-blue rune appeared in his hand, and a mirror made of water flow appeared in front of him.

The Man in the mirror was very haggard. His eye sockets were deeply sunken, and his messy beard stuck together.

Ravel could not believe that the person in the mirror was him. In the past, he had never been unable to woo a girl in Frost Wolf City. Apart from his family status, he had relied on his handsome face.

But now, he was completely a vagabond who had been living on the streets for a long time, taking some medicine.

“Anger, regret, sadness… I guess you’re losing control of these bad emotions,”the Dark Elf said.

“What exactly are you trying to say?”

Ravel clenched his fists, the wound on his palms still hurting.

He was still able to maintain his rationality. He could see the hope that he could be saved, but the anger in his heart was rising.

“You’re the same as the humans who came here,”the Dark Elf said as his pale purple eyes swept across the group of people behind Ravel.

“When they were first imprisoned here by the adjudicators, the generals, knights, and soldiers… none of them gave up hope. They planned to escape from here, but they failed. At that time, the adjudicators would still send people to watch over this place,”the Dark Elf said.

Ravel also turned to look at the humans who were clearly alive but looked like corpses behind him. What kind of fate had caused them to become like this.

The more he thought about it, the more fear he felt.

The Dark Elf seemed to enjoy the human’s fear. Just as she was about to continue her prank, Ravel’s Weave rang out with a strange voice.

“That… Unknown Dark Elf lady, you don’t have to reveal any more secrets. I can roughly guess the situation in the cell. It’s probably due to the gray fog that caused the mental illness.”

“Who are you?”

The Dark Elf’s pale purple eyes looked at the glowing interface in front of Ravel.

“Me? I have quite a lot of titles in this world. You Elves call me the child of the forest. I personally think that the world tree gardener is more suitable.”

“Child of the forest? Human? I Won’t believe it…”

“I don’t have time to care whether you believe in my identity or not. I only want to ask you one thing.”

He forcefully interrupted the Dark Elf’s sarcasm once again.

“Do you want to leave this damned place and take revenge on the adjudicator while you’re at it?”

“I don’t have much time left. There’s no point in leaving this place.”

The Dark Elf seemed to have guessed that Joshua could see her through Ravel’s eyes. She showed Joshua her hands. The skin on her hands was gradually turning from purple to grayish-white.

“Before this human came, I had been in a dormant state. The gray fog and despair were eroding my consciousness and soul… if I hadn’t heard the voices of my own kind just now, I might have become similar to those humans.”The Dark Elf’s voice was gradually distorted, in the end, she calmly closed her eyes. “It’s all over.”

“You look like you’re going to pass away soon. Miss, don’t you want to meet your own kind?”

She frowned slightly and finally opened her eyes again.

“This is my last wish. As a human, my lifespan is more than a hundred times longer than yours. There’s nothing in this world that I care about.”

“Alright, Ravel, don’t bother about him… if you feel that you can’t control your emotions, open the first episode of ‘Cat and Mouse’. It should be able to save you from a mental breakdown.”

Don’t bother about him?

The only person in the dungeon who could communicate with him was a key figure no matter how he looked at it!

Ravel did not dare to refute the person who passed the fire. When he was pulled into the group, the king had already ordered that the person who passed the fire had the same status as her.

He took one last look at the Dark Elf. The Dark Elf sat on the ground with her eyes closed, like an old man sleeping peacefully. The grayness on her arms had gradually spread to her shoulders.

The anger in Ravel’s heart was becoming more and more out of control.

For the past fifteen days, he had relied on the song “The Phoenix”on the magic web to survive. This song always gave him hope to live again, but as time went on, the emotional boost from the song grew weaker and weaker.

Ravel opened the first episode of “Cats and mice”at the behest of Jose.

A blue cat and a walking mouse appeared before him, along with a symphony Ravel had not heard in a long time.

Moving Pictures?

Ravel had never seen a movie, but he had seen some short films on the magic web.

Such animated paintings seemed very rare in his eyes, and the style of the paintings seemed a little childish in Ravel’s eyes, who was used to seeing all kinds of oil paintings.

Childish as it was, Ravel was soon attracted by the little mouse running hard in the picture.

The Cat and mouse episode lasted less than ten minutes, during which the judge still did not appear in the corridor.

After Ravel finished watching the cat and mouse, he touched the corner of his mouth. From the beginning of the story, his smile had never stopped.

For Ravel, who had been under oppression and despair for a long time, the cat and mouse had simply saved his life.

After Ravel finished watching the cat and mouse, he suddenly noticed that the dark elf sitting in front of him had opened her eyes.

Her light purple eyes were staring at Ravel’s magic web interface.

“Gardener, about this strange cat and mouse… is there anything else?”The Dark Elf asked.

“Of course there is, but I haven’t made it yet,”Jose answered her through voice communication. “If you want to see it, you have to live for a few days.”
