Chapter 34: The Chronicles of Madness - Remember Your Choice
"Madness will remember your choice," were the first words spoken by the Redskin Elf. Translated, it roughly meant that.
In reality, the seven pseudo-flower spirits immediately chimed in when they heard he was going to translate, talking all at once, each with a slightly different take on it, like:
"Madness spirits remember favors."
"I represent the Madness clan in extending friendship to you."
"You've made the right choice."
In any case, it was something along the lines of "someone will remember your choice in the game."
Hua Mi pondered for a moment and came up with what he thought was the most appropriate translation. "No need for you to repay me; just don't cause trouble for me," he thought.
He didn't say anything and simply nodded at her, shifting his gaze back to the lake. In his heart, he silently urged her to leave.
Hua Mi only wanted a peaceful life, tending to fields, raising bees, and occasionally going on adventures to find rare nectar sources to make more magical honey. Everything was gradually falling into place, just as he had planned. He didn't want this healthy routine disrupted.
The Redskin Elf said something again, this time very briefly. Purple hair interjected, "She says her name is Lei Luo."
Hua Mi was a bit uncertain about her emotional tone. Was she mocking herself or proud of it? However, her subsequent emotional expression was clear: it was evident anger.
"After the war, our creators considered us a threat and planned a genocide against the Madness. Even to this day, a thousand years have passed, and we still face expulsion and oppression from those pale-skinned elves."
War Hammer's finger left the wound, and she stared at the blood on it, her expression growing more fervent. "But the situation won't remain like this. Once we conquer the Emerald Court—this is just a matter of time—they will bear the accumulated anger of a thousand years!"
Hua Mi remained silent. Talking to me about this won't make a difference. I'm simply a honey seller.
"Applying it externally anytime is fine, but if you want to take it internally, I must remind you that it will put you into a deep slumber. The worse your physical condition, the stronger the sedative effect. In your current state, I estimate one bite will make you fall asleep on the spot."
Hua Mi's implication was clear: take it in a safe place, not here.
War Hammer gazed at him after swallowing the honey, her head held high. "Sweet treats are for those pale-skins; we Madness folk prefer spicy and stimulating food."
Well, she found something to complain about. Hua Mi urged, "Let's get inside quickly."
"Alright," War Hammer nodded and jumped into the well, but not before mentioning, "There's a ladder here."
