In the next three days, there will be a moment of leisure in the Elf Hall. Singing and dancing, silk and bamboo, delicious food. They enjoyed themselves in the palace of the Elf King until all night long.
Even though there was no good wine, even Trinville didn't have any regrets. He would shed tears from time to time when he was moved by his master's kindness. This is really a rare thing for the big man Vika.
Only Glenn and Althea saw helplessness and sadness in this joy. This prevented him from immediately proposing to leave. He couldn't bear to break the elf's last joy.
Finally, the elves slowly dispersed without knowing when, and there were only a few people in the huge hall.
Glenn knew it was time for them to hit the road.
The Elf King and Queen reluctantly bid farewell to their son. Because the elf prince was about to embark on the far journey he longed for, his passion for novel adventures made him radiant, but he did not see his mother's sad eyes.
The Elf King prepared abundant food and fine clothes for them. Grayne, Trinville and Loyda all received the bow and sword given by the Elf King.
He said: "Bring it on, this is the best sword of our elves. Even the most skilled craftsmen of humans cannot make anything comparable to them. Now, even I can't see what you are going to face." It’s clearer. But I believe that the warriors will not bow their heads.”
The travelers and their new friends who set off again said goodbye to the Elf King and Elf Queen and embarked on their journey again.
I didn't see any elves again along the way. But they all knew that the elves were watching them not far away and giving them blessings.
The road was very quiet, and it was undoubtedly safe in this forest. They walked very fast, and they all thought that this might be the last pleasant journey.
Prince Milerian was as agile and agile as all elves and had a keen eye. When ordinary people can't see the road, he can always find and lead people to walk on the most comfortable and convenient road. In the dense forest of the Elven Mountain that blocks the sky and the sun, Grayn is secretly frightened from time to time. Even with the permission of the elves, if there was no elven prince to act as a guide, they would definitely get lost here and die trapped in the sacred mountain.
The skills that Grein had honed in countless dangerous places became useless in the elves' territory. He was grateful for the elf king's kindness, and it was he who sent the elf prince to guide them. At the same time, he blamed himself for his stubbornness.
If he persisted in rejecting the Elf Prince, how dangerous would they be now.
On the third day, they walked on the peak. There is a large river at the foot of the mountain with rough waves and rugged rocks on both sides. I don’t know where the faint sound of singing came from, intermittent. They stopped and looked, but saw nothing.
The Elf Prince smiled and said, "It's the farewell song of the Elf King and Queen."
Grayn looked in the direction pointed by Prince Milerian. In the white waves, a ship bumps and rises, sometimes jumping to the top of the waves, sometimes disappearing into the bottom of the valley, leaving only a white ribbon, rushing and turbulent.
In the Elf Valley, the roads are rugged, the grass is delicious, and the green trees are whistling. They were in a good mood and light on their feet as they marched.
They walked through dense forests and mountain canyons for ten days. Although they were not tired of the beautiful scenery along the way, Trinville couldn't help but asked: "Milian, how long do we have to walk like this before we can get out of the Elf Mountain?" ah?"
His question has actually been lingering in everyone's minds.
It just seems that as soon as you open your mouth, you will lose the beauty and tranquility in front of you. If they weren't carrying a heavy mission, they would want to keep going like this. Thinking of leaving the care of the Elf King and Queen, everyone's heart felt a little painful and sad.
The Elf Prince didn't understand their feelings at all. He wished he could rush out of the sacred mountain in one step and be in another world full of flowers.
Hearing Trinville's inquiry, he replied with a smile: "When you see Lavarudo and Docha, it's time to leave the Elf Mountain."
Trinville asked curiously: "Who are Lavarudo and Docha? Are they also elves?"
The elf prince smiled slightly and said, "You will know it when you see it."
The mountain road twists and turns, twists and turns, and winds up. The river has disappeared at the bend at the foot of the mountain. There are no more white sails of treasure ships, and no sound of huge waves can be heard. The graceful journey, walking with the song, suddenly became quiet, and they couldn't help but feel lost.
Thanks to the Elf Prince. Along the way, they don’t have to worry about accidentally getting lost, nor do they have to worry about not having delicious food in their backpacks. The Elf Prince talked and laughed along the way, telling them the legends of the Elf clan's past. After passing the most beautiful places, he would also point them out and remind them that this is the beauty that only elves can enjoy for thousands of years.
He brings happiness to everyone, not to mention little Yamina. She always pestered the Elf Prince, sometimes not leaving him even an inch. She loved to see the way the Elf Prince walked, like the wind flying. Even if it's eating or drinking, she likes to watch it. Sometimes Loida felt embarrassed and scolded her gently, but she ignored her.
What's more, there is the giant Trinville who always protects her. Loida could only smile helplessly at this time.
Fortunately, the Elf Prince always didn't take it seriously and was always so happy. He said: "It doesn't matter, Miss Loida. I like Miss Yamina. I like Miss Yamina and she likes me."
Yamina then became even more unscrupulous. However, sometimes her questions were narrow and tricky, and sometimes even the Elf Prince could not answer them, which always aroused bursts of laughter.
Although Yamina became naughty, they all liked it. Aren't little girls supposed to be that carefree?
Besides, although the Elf Prince was lively and active, with an easy-going temperament, the nobility and mystery that shrouded the Elf clan made everyone around him full of curiosity. But no one was too embarrassed to ask him. Yamina spoke freely and asked random questions, which might just clear everyone's doubts.
Just like now, Yamina urged Trinville to catch up with the Elf Prince. She shouted: "Mr. Milerian, can you walk slower? I can't even catch you."
The Elf Prince slowed down and waited for her with a smile. Trinville quickly walked a few steps and walked side by side with the Elf Prince. She smiled and said: "Mr. Prince, let me tell you a secret. As a courtesy and reward, you also answer me a question. Okay?"
Loida said hurriedly: "Yamina, don't do this."
Yamina smiled and said, "I won't mess around, Sister Loida." Then she turned to ask the Elf Prince, "They all know my secret. Don't you want to know?"
The Elf Prince saw everyone unable to hold back their laughter and couldn't help but become curious. Moreover, he couldn't bear to disappoint Yamina. He replied readily: "Okay, Miss Yamina. Since they all know, it is natural for me to know too. Please tell me, and I will listen carefully."
"Don't regret it."
Looking at her strange expression, she seemed afraid that he would regret it. He smiled and said, "Of course."
Although everyone was rushing forward, they all slowed down intentionally, wanting to hear the "secret" that they all knew. They were all thinking, it must be that thing, right?
Of course. It doesn't matter if you tell the Elf Prince. Prince Milerian was already their friend. Friends should trust each other and not hide anything. They all think that way.
Miss Yamina received the elf prince's promise, and she smiled proudly. She said solemnly: "I am six years old this year, do you know?"
Trinville was still guessing in his mind, but when he suddenly heard Yamina's words, he stumbled and almost fell, making everyone laugh.
Only then did the Elf Prince realize that he had indeed been teased by the little girl. However, he still smiled happily and said: "Yes, Miss Yamina. I remember, you are six years old this year."
Yamina clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Okay. Now I have to ask you a question. You have to answer me well."
The elf prince smiled and said: "I will do as you wish, Miss Yamina."
In fact, everyone pricked up their ears. What weird questions will little Yamina ask the Elf Prince?
Yamina smiled and asked: "Mr. Milerian, you already know my age, so tell me too - how old are you?"
No one could have imagined that Yamina had solemnly obtained the "no regrets" promise from the Elf Prince in advance, but just to know his age, they couldn't help laughing. But if you think about it carefully, this question really makes them confused.
Looking at the little girl's smiling face, the Elf Prince smiled and nodded. "Since I was born, I have watched the Crystal Star circle around the Elf Mountain fifty times."
"But you haven't told me how old you are yet." She pursed her lips and asked.
Trinville also spoke up and said, "That's right. Milian, you shouldn't lie to children."
The Elf Prince smiled and said: "You calculate your age according to the sun. And we elves only know how many years have passed by looking at the Crystal Star. So, I saw the Crystal Star rise and set fifty times. According to the Elf Clan’s algorithm, I’m fifty years old.”
Yamina was greatly surprised. She couldn't help shouting: "Oh, it turns out you are so old." The Elf Prince smiled and said nothing. But everyone couldn't help it and started laughing again. Luoyida shook her head and sighed, but she also pursed her lips for fear of laughing out loud.
Yamina asked again: "Where is the Crystal Star? Why can't I see it?"
The Elf Prince smiled and said: "The Crystal Star can only be seen at dawn. In the dark night, in the east of the sky, the brightest star is the Crystal Star that we admire. Legend has it that it is the star used by the god Aldole when he sings It was transformed into a harp. What shines is the light of God’s wisdom.”
Everyone nodded and said nothing.
Trinville hurriedly said: "Milian, it's too late for me and you to meet each other. But I think you are so young, so it would be more appropriate for us to be good friends and good brothers."
The Elf Prince said gracefully: "Of course, Mr. Trinville. I happen to think so too."
This journey is well worth it. The Elf Prince was particularly happy.
He loved being a good friend and brother to Trinville. Moreover, he also liked to joke and bicker with Trinville.
Glenn is calm and meticulous, and is the most trustworthy and trustworthy travel companion during the journey.
Although Althea cannot speak, seeing her face makes people feel pure, peaceful and happy.
Loida is bold and passionate, and you can count on her to rise to the occasion in battle.
Little Yamina is the pistachio of the whole team, making the journey full of laughter and happiness. Because of her, all people truly understand the value of life and fighting.
Even though the days deep in the sacred mountains have never been unhappy before. But it wasn't until he had them, like-minded partners and friends, that he truly felt that there was no trace of sadness or regret anymore.
There are vines and tree roots, and the road is winding and undulating, so you can only walk with caution in many places. The top of the head is covered with airtight branches and leaves, and it is difficult for the sunlight to reach the ground directly. The thick fallen leaves exude a unique atmosphere of the forest. Seeing the steep mountains ahead, the mist rises quietly, the birds flutter their wings in the woods, and the sound of footsteps makes the woods no longer silent.
Trinville walked in the front, and he asked again: "Milian, when can we see your Lavarudo and Docha?"
The elf prince smiled and said: "I saw them a few times when I was young, but I can't imagine what they will become. Like you, I also want to see them soon."
Suddenly, Trinville accidentally tripped over the vines under his feet, and he stumbled and fell under the tree. Yamina was lying on Roida's back. When she saw the big man Vika falling on his back, she hurriedly shouted: "Oops. Mr. Trinville, are you hurt from the fall?"
Trinville jumped up and chuckled: "It's better to be Yamina. Yamina feels sorry for the big Vika. But Mr. Trinville is not afraid of pain." As he said that, he struck hard at the big tree. He kicked me, "Damn it! You actually made me fall down in front of Miss Yamina."
He looked back at Yamina making a face. However, both Glenn and Loida exclaimed in unison: "Trinville, be careful."
Before he could turn around, several vines coiled on the ground were swimming, as if they were alive. As soon as he shouted, his hands and feet were wrapped up, making it impossible to even move.
His face turned red with anger, and he struggled and shouted: "Who? Who is it? Let me go."
Glenn and Loida were shocked. He jumped off his horse, drew his sword and rushed over, followed closely by Loida.
The Elf Prince shouted: "Everyone, don't move." But they all turned a deaf ear and only worried about Trinville's safety.
The vines were like long snakes, silently and swiftly and forcefully lifting the wrapped Trinville into the air. A big green hand lifted him up, and they heard laughter.
Glenn shouted: "Put my friend down quickly." Then he saw a big tree on the side of the road also alive. It was the tree that laughed.
It was not a tree—it was a giant tree as tall as a tree. It was covered with long arms and covered with green moss, making it look like a tree.
The tree giant lazily ignored Grein and Loida. It waved a few arms at will, and they couldn't get close to them as they wielded their swords. But they couldn't just watch Trinville being caught in the hands of the giant and let it go.
Grain slashed at the giant's arm with his sword, and Grain turned around and shouted: "Prince Milerian, come and help."
Althea took Yamina and hid behind some big rocks. Prince Milerian shouted again: "Stop, put them down quickly."
Trinville's hands and feet were tightly bound. After struggling several times until his face turned red, he still couldn't move at all. He finally gave up.
The green giant raised Trinville in front of his eyes, staring at him curiously with his two big protruding eyes. It also stretched out a long tongue, seemingly wanting to lick the big man Vika it caught.
Trinville suddenly became furious, and he shouted loudly: "You are so brave, why don't you let me go quickly. If you don't let me go, I will, I will..."
The tree giant was not angry at all. He said slowly and leisurely: "I won't let you go. What can you do to me?"
Trinville was filled with anger, but was stunned by its question. "I will, I will..."
I wanted to kill it, but then I thought that my hands and feet were tied tightly, and it was impossible to break free, let alone kill the green giant opposite.
He was speechless and suddenly said: "I will, I will eat you." After saying that, he breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he was not stumped by the giant. At least, he still has the ability to fight back verbally.
The tree giant frowned while using its many arms to lightly block the swords in the hands of Grayne and Roida. It nodded calmly and said: "That's okay, that's okay."
Trinville struggled and shouted: "You monster, what are you talking about? Nothing, nothing?"
The tree giant actually laughed. It said in a rough voice: "Of course I ate you. If you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten."
Trinville couldn't help but regret that he would remind him that he was going to eat him. Seeing the long tongue getting closer and closer, he panicked and kept shouting: "Wait a moment, wait a moment."
The tree giant smiled and said, "Why, are you scared?"
Trinville is not afraid.
However, when he thought about it, he was about to be eaten by a giant that looked like a tree and had arms all over his body. How pitiful and ridiculous it would be if the friends in the Blueberry Tavern knew about this.
Greene saw that Trinville was about to become the giant's meal, but he couldn't break through the many arms of the tree giant, and there was nothing he could do.
I was terrified and in a hurry. By accident, the sword in his hand was caught by the giant's big hand. Several more arms stretched out from behind him, and soon he was tied tightly like Trinville, unable to move.
Loida raised the sword in her hand, not knowing whether to save Gray first or Trinville who was about to be eaten.
The Elf Prince was still yelling: "Put them down quickly. Otherwise, I will shoot you with bows and arrows."
The giant who grabbed Grain took long strides and slowly walked to the other giant. Trinville was still squirming and struggling to resist. Big Vika is dead, but if he wants to be eaten by a tree - whether for breakfast or dinner, he will never agree!
However, the giant who caught him was still nagging and asking: "Are you afraid that I will eat you?" Its voice was thick and thick, mixed with several strange laughs that made Trinville just laugh. Goosebumps.
Although Trinville's hands and feet were tied and he was completely defeated, he still said stubbornly: "I'm not afraid of you. I think you are afraid of me."
"Why should I be afraid of you?" The giant frowned and looked at him strangely.
Trinville straightened his neck and shouted: "If you are not afraid of me, do you dare to let me down and have a real fight with me. If you can still tie me up, I will be afraid of you." "
The other giant held up Gray and said slowly: "You old fool, don't be fooled by him."
"How could I be an old fool? How could I be fooled?" the tree giant said angrily. "You are two years older than me. How can I be an old fool?"
Another giant said: "I have lived for five hundred and thirty-two years, and I am only one year older than you. You have remembered it all wrong, and you still say that you are not an old fool."
"If I am an old fool, then you are a fool who is one year older than the old fool."
The two green tree giants bickered like Trinville when he bickered with his friends in the tavern. Although it was interesting to him for a moment, he was immediately frustrated that he was about to become a giant's meal.
The elf prince walked to the giant's feet. He raised his head and said with a smile: "Lavarudo, Docha, stop making trouble. If you don't let go of my friend, I will be really angry."
The giant holding Trinville laughed and said, "Prince Milerian, where are you going? Please wait for a while, and I will eat the snacks you brought before I talk to you."
The Elf Prince was angry and laughing. He stamped his feet and said, "Stop joking with my friends. They are not snacks. They are guests invited by the Elf King and Queen. If you scare them, be careful with Edra." Captain Si is here to punish you."
The two tree giants laughed. They retracted their long arms, and Grayne and Trinville were suddenly freed from their restraints and regained their freedom.
As soon as Trinville's feet landed, he transformed from a delicious meal into a vigorous warrior. He ran over and took off the spear from the horse's back, but even if he raised the spear above his head, he could only reach the giant's navel when he jumped.
So, he hesitated, should he really jump?
The Elf Prince smiled and stopped him. He looked at the two laughing tree giants and the bewildered big man Vika, pretended to be angry, and asked: "Lavarudo, Docha, why are you joking with my friends? Why are you trying to scare them?"
The one who captured Trinville was the giant named "Docha". He smiled and said: "We haven't seen Prince Milerian for forty-two years. Naturally, when I saw you, I felt indescribable joy in my heart. I wanted to say hello to you, but this little man was confused. He fell, but he blamed me and kicked me. It was all his fault, but he can't blame me."
The tree giant Ravarudo said from the side: "We haven't seen the prince for forty-one years, you old fool."
"Why are you calling me an old fool again?" Duocha yelled angrily.
Hearing the giant call him a "little man", Trinville wanted to be angry for a moment, but when he looked up and saw Docha, who was taller than a tree, he couldn't think of a retort. Then I thought, what the giant said was not wrong. He couldn't help but laugh.
Glenn and Loida all gathered around the Elf Prince, and Althea also walked out from behind the stone with Yamina. If she hadn't seen that the Elf Prince kept a smile on his face even though he kept shouting "Stop", she would have understood everything at that time. Otherwise, when Gray was entangled and lifted into the air, she would have rushed out regardless of her own safety.
On the contrary, it was Glenn and Loida who rushed to the front because they were worried that Trinville would be harmed. They did not see the smile of the elf prince and were overly nervous and excited, so they were caught by Lavarudo and Docha and fired. Big joke.
Things are completely clear. The Elf Prince smiled and said to them: "Lavarudo and Ladocha are the patron saints of the Elf Mountain. Without the guidance of the elves, no one can get out of the Holy Mountain. Lavarudo and Ladocha will take them away." They are all blocked here."
Only then did Green understand the true meaning of what the Elf King said, "Without the permission of the elves, you cannot leave the sacred mountain." He couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead, and once again felt lucky and grateful for the elf prince's intention to join the team.
He asked: "Prince Milerian, so my teacher also walked out of the Holy Mountain from here?"
As soon as Prince Milerian nodded, Docha rushed to say: "Seventy years ago, I also let a mortal go from here. It was Edras who sent him away."
Lavarrudo said, "It's seventy years. You old fool."
Duocha was furious: "I'm right, why are you still an old fool?" They quarreled without fun again. Everyone who looked up at them wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
Trinville suddenly said: "Docha is not an old fool."
Lavarudo was furious and asked, "Why isn't he an old fool?"
Duocha was overjoyed and leaned over and said: "What a good little man. Please tell him quickly why I am not an old fool."
Trinville raised his head and said loudly: "Docha didn't eat me, so of course he is not an old fool. Whoever wants to eat me is an old fool."
Lavarudo and Docha looked down at Trinville and said loudly at the same time: "We don't want to eat you!"
The Elf Prince climbed on the arms of the two tree giants, raised his head and said: "Lavarudo, Docha, I am about to leave the Elf Mountain and travel outside the Mountain. I don't know when I will be back. You must Think of me. When I come back, I will bring you some snacks."
Trinville's head went numb when he heard "snacks."
Lavarudo stretched out a few arms, rolled up the Elf Prince and raised it to his eyes. His voice was as sad and melancholy as friends saying goodbye, "I just slept, and the Elf Prince has already grown up. I I also sent the young King Adrian out. Today, I have to send you out again. Prince Milerian, the outside world is scary, you must be careful."
The Elf Prince smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, I have so many friends." He pointed at everyone, "They are all partners chosen by the Elf King and Queen for me. They are the bravest warriors and the most trustworthy people."
Duocha smiled and said: "The person chosen by King Adrian and Queen Bilisa can't be wrong. That little guy is very good. I like him very much."
Trinville laughed.
Lavarudo and Docha moved out of the way, waving goodbye to the two sad tree giants. It wasn't until the two green figures disappeared into the jungle that the Elf Prince reluctantly turned his head and caught up with the advancing team.
After parting with the patron saint of the Elven Mountain, they walked for another three days. Suddenly there is a clear view in front of us, with sparse trees and luxuriant grass. Everyone cheered. They saw Captain Edras standing in front to greet them.
The elf captain prepared horses for them. He said to Glenn: "You will need these horses soon after you leave here. King Adrian and Queen Blisa can also see you."
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw that the river meandered and merged into a blue lake at the foot of the mountain. The white sails were swaying in the wind, and the graceful figures of the Elf King and Queen could be vaguely seen on the bow. Glenn couldn't help but bow to the bow of the ship. The treasure boat rippled slightly in the lake.
Edras pointed forward and said: "I don't have the power to walk out of here, so let's break up here. I wish you good luck, Mr. Green. And you, His Royal Highness. Don't forget the instructions of the Elf King and Queen! In addition, I also have a message for Your Highness." The Elf Prince had already mounted his horse, and everyone looked at the Elf Captain. He said softly, "Listen to Mr. Glenn's advice and be a friend that will last forever."
"I will, Captain Edras! Please also tell the king and queen that I will definitely spread the glory of the elves throughout the continent. When I return to the sacred mountain, it will be a glorious return." The young prince smiled. Saying goodbye to the elf captain and his warriors, Grayn and others also waved goodbye.
On the land of the elves, they spent the most peaceful days since their escape. Now, they were about to leave the shelter of the elves and set off towards the White Dragon City.
Trinville shouted loudly: "Milian, I wonder if you can ride a horse as fast as climbing a tree. Haha! Let's go, let's go! The Holy City is waiting for us."
They cast one last glance at the Elf Holy Land, whipped their horses, and galloped away.
When Edras arrived at the treasure ship, he could still vaguely see the figure of the prince galloping in front of everyone. However, he saw tears of sadness lingering in the queen's eyes.
The Elf King stood beside his wife, looking into the distance until those vague shadows disappeared into the wilderness where heaven and earth meet.
"They will succeed," he whispered.
The Elf Queen covered her face with her hands and murmured: "Yes. It's just..." Her low voice could only be heard by the king beside her.
None of them could hide the tears streaming down their faces.
