My summons are weird

When you know that a story will inevitably lead to tragedy, it is inevitable that you will feel a little sad in your heart.

Reading Nettie Meyer's diary, Lu Yu and his party seemed to follow her, returning to the wild and silent mountains hundreds of years ago.

Although the owner of the story, Nettie, wrote down the words "there is no place for us to live in this world", she is still optimistic in her diary and ordinary life.

On the 62nd day in the Silent Mountains, Rebecca watched her crippled right hand collapse emotionally. It was Nettie who kept hugging her, comforting her, and calming her down gradually.

It was also Nettie who was constantly by Rebecca's side during her depressed days, encouraging her to help everyone do what she could.

In the end, Rebecca, who was not regarded as a useless person by the elves, gradually walked out of the haze.

Nettie will also try to liven things up in difficult circumstances.

For example, on the 100th day of coming to the Silent Mountains, Nettie actually notified the elves who were exiled here together, prepared some food as small gifts for the game, and celebrated in a grotto used as a refuge.

"Congratulations that we have lived a hundred days, and our goal is to live another thousand days!"

Lu Yu couldn't help but marvel at this spirit of having fun while suffering.

Perhaps it was because of Nettie's charisma that the celebration was such a success that it was well received by all the elves.

Although the diary did not record which games they played, there were more than a dozen strange handwritings on that page.

Here is Nettie's collection of the winner's autographs.

It would be great if such good times could last forever.

However, they are just a group of children who don't even know much magic. They are elves who are discriminated against and exiled because of their physical disabilities.

From time to time, Lu Yu could see information about his companion's death in Nettie's diary.

With the passage of time, more and more people died, and the joy of harvesting supplies in the diary became less and less.

Even though Nettie is always thinking of ways to inspire those around him, this kind of encouragement seems to have a drug resistance and can only last for a short period of time.

Numbness, helplessness, and despair gained the upper hand in the race against time.

But Lu Yu also discovered that although most of the elves in Nettie's cave have some skills, their survival has a lot to do with that Vanessa.

There are not many elves who can use magic in Nettie's diary, and the strongest is this girl named Vanessa.

Vanessa, who was born with aphasia and acquired blindness, has long served as a protector.

Relying on the sense of smell to find herbs, and relying on hearing to lock prey, Vanessa can bring the supplies that the elves urgently need every time she goes out.

With her strength, she can live on her own, but she chose to distribute the supplies she found to the elves in every nearby cave.

Because of her good relationship with Nettie, Vanessa often brings Nettie extra things.

On days when she didn't need to go out, Nettie took Vanessa's hand to the top of a mountain not far away, and described the surrounding scenery for her.

At this time, Vanessa would open her empty eyes and try to weave a colorful picture with past memories in the direction Nettie pointed.

"Don't you want to leave here?"

In the two hundred and thirty-seven days since she came to the Silent Mountains, Nettie asked Vanessa this question.

In the diary, she always felt that Vanessa had the ability to escape this hell and go to a wider world.

But Vanessa wrote two questions with her finger on Nettie's palm.

"I can't see, I can't speak, what can I do if I leave here?"

"Leave me, what will you do?"

In fact, Vanessa didn't say anything, but Nettie knew it well, because she had the same expectations as Vanessa.

"They haven't forgotten me yet."

Aesop once told Lu Yu that most of the elves who were exiled did not choose to escape because their respective families gave them an illusory promise.

As long as you rely on your own strength to gain a firm foothold in the Silent Mountain Range and reclaim the land, you can prove to outsiders that you are not inferior to anyone, and then you will be able to enter the gate of the family without being discriminated against by anyone.

Children who have lived in different eyes since they were young are really eager to be respected and needed.

In the eyes of Lu Yu, it was a blank promise, but in the eyes of this group of elves, it was an opportunity worth fighting for with all their strength.

Therefore, the reclaimed land is destroyed, and they still do not give up.

One by one their companions died, and they were unwilling to give up.

This group of abandoned elves are like people who are about to slip into the abyss, clinging to this life-saving straw that will break at any time, unwilling to let go.

Nettie wrote in her diary.

"I really want to encourage her, praise her, and let her know that even though she is blind and unable to speak, she still shows a super talent for magic. There is always a place for her in this world...Vanessa is different from us, She shouldn't be stuck here."

"But I can't say it."

"Without her, I, those elves struggling on the verge of life and death will die...I am a selfish person, as her friend, but I can't do what a friend should do...I'm sorry, Vanessa."

Vanessa continued to protect the elves around her, and in order to get all the needed supplies, she had to go on various adventures.

Going to the center of the mountains where high-level monsters often appear, and facing groups of monsters alone, these are all things she has done before.

It was also because of this that Vanessa dragged her almost dead body back to Nettie several times.

Most of the elves who were exiled were complaining about their bad luck, they had a disabled body, and what they encountered in this world were all hopeless things.

Either they cursed the gods for injustice after the collapse, thinking that everything was the malice of the gods.

But some of the elves broke down after watching Vanessa keep fighting for them.

"Why can the group of people outside the mountains sit and watch us be bitten by wild beasts?"

"Why can my parents be so cruel and abandon me here?"

While Vanessa was in a coma, the elves attacked passing merchants beyond the Silent Mountains, looting their goods.

This incident shocked several lords nearby. They set up bait and set up an ambush. After the disabled elves succeeded in committing the crime twice, they wiped out the "mob".

Instead of killing these elves, they escorted them back to the capital, and after the capital called their names, they were brought back by the people of the corresponding family.

Nettie knew this because after that a company of guards came in from the Silent Mountains to tell them what had become of those who were brought back to their families.

At the same time, it also brought "support" from various families for reclamation—a small amount of supplies that would be delivered every once in a while.

To outsiders, this is a completely perfunctory action, but in their eyes, it is a kind of affirmation. They work harder and harder to reclaim the land near the cave. At the same time, disabled elves are still being exiled to the Silent Mountains.

Despite their lack of strength, in the long life-and-death struggle against monsters, a group of elves still figured out how to deal with them, and gradually gained a firm foothold by making various traps and tools.

In addition to the fact that supplies are still tight and it is still extremely difficult to deal with the high-level monsters that appear from time to time, the elves have become easier to reclaim the land than when they first arrived in the Silent Mountains.

Nettie in the diary happily described this time as "the reward of hard work". Until now, she is still looking forward to returning to her hometown and proving herself to her parents in person.

If she is not injured.

"The five hundred and seventy-sixth day of the Silent Mountain Range."

"I was cut off by a strange monster on my left hand. The hand was swollen badly. There was a faint mucus flowing from the wound. The pain was obvious."

"My companions were all thankful that I had recovered my life, but my head suddenly became dizzy, and my hand holding the pen became very heavy."

"The five hundred and seventy-eighth day of the Silent Mountain Range."

"I'm running a fever, I don't have any intuition in my left hand, and my whole body is very hot. The diary can only be dictated and written down. Fortunately, Vanessa found a herbal medicine that can suppress toxins for me. After eating it, my body feels much cooler."

"Recently, the monsters in the mountains are very active, and it is a lot of trouble to go out to find food. I heard that many companions in the nearby caves have been injured. However, we must start stockpiling food for the winter from now on, otherwise we may not be able to survive the upcoming Winter."

"Five hundred and eighty days in the Silent Mountain Range."

"Vanessa decided to go out and try her luck. Vanessa never let people follow her in action, because no one can cooperate with her, and someone following will only distract her."

"Before she left, she wrote the words Get well soon in my diary...Although it is not the first time I saw it, I still want to say that she couldn't see it, but the words were written better than mine. Sure enough, Vanessa is the most powerful gone."

"Five hundred and ninety days in the Silent Mountain Range."

"Vanessa hasn't come back for ten days. It's rare for her to go out for such a long time. With her strength, she should be able to run away even if she can't beat her... God, please bless Vanessa."

"Six hundred days in the Silent Mountains."

"The toxins in my body have been completely removed, and I can make a fist with my left hand. I want Vanessa to see how I look after recovery...but Vanessa has been out for 20 days."

Twenty days, thirty days, then a quarter.

Nettie, who wrote down Vanessa's name in her diary every day, never saw the girl who would bring her a small gift again.

The girl who walked into the depths of the Silent Mountains on the bleak wind of late autumn disappeared.

The girl who would keep squeezing herself so that the elves could go home left.

Winter went to spring, and the notes left by Nettie, who had survived the cold winter, became messy.

"I killed her, she could have avoided taking risks..."

The departure of her friend crushed Nettie's strong heart. She wanted to encourage herself as she encouraged others, but found that she couldn't get out no matter what.

Nettie still keeps a diary, but there is no longer a sense of vitality in the diary.

lifeless.

After Vanessa disappeared, the names in the diary that were once familiar to Lu Yu began to disappear one by one.

In order to protect the reclaimed land, Rebecca died with the monsters.

Aaron died in battle to protect his wounded companion.

There are fewer and fewer people around Vanessa, and more and more companions are buried in the cave.

At the end of the diary, Nettie wrote down all the wishes expressed by his companions that he still remembered.

In the end, she left what she wanted to say to the two of them.

"Father, I hate you!"

"Vanessa... sorry."
