It’s only half a day’s journey from Desert Junction to Dandelion, but the scenery along the way dazzles George:
There are patches of clover grass, the beautiful red swan lake, the towering trees that can be used as lookout points, and the spring water that continuously flows from the inconspicuous stone monument has the effect of restoring one's own magic power;
The goblins who like to get close to passers-by live in the beautiful goblin flowers and grass, while the gray wolf with prey in its mouth hides in an inconspicuous wolf den at the foot of the mountain;
In the huge dead tree cave beside the road, the ancestors of the elves built a shrine with piles of stones, recording mysterious natural spells for travelers who are destined to learn and observe on their own...
As the elf horse bumped along the way, George finally saw the elf city named Dandelion. At that moment, George finally realized what kind of elf country he was about to face that was perfectly integrated into nature——
The first thing that caught George's eyes was the dandelion wall. These giant city walls blocking the key points of the terrain are estimated to be about six stories high. The walls made of huge stones are covered with caltrops, and these thorny plants are climbing up and filling the entire wall. Interestingly, these plants, which are not pleasing to the eye, not only spread up and down the city wall, but also accurately filled and strengthened the gaps in the stone bricks.
Then, George passed the drawbridge of the city gate and crossed the clear moat. There are towering trees everywhere in the forest, and Dandelion's city gate and suspension bridge are made of two rows of thick solid logs surrounded by three people. George once curiously went up and touched them. These logs were completely hard. Beyond his imagination, even if he squeezed it with all his strength, no traces were left on the log.
Lova is the commander of the garrison guarding the city. With her status, the way in and out of the city must be smooth, and George, who is sitting on the same horse, naturally enjoys exemption from inspection.
Entering the city, the scenery inside made George's eyes shine even more. There are bursts of floral fragrance in the air, as well as the fragrance of earth. The aroma of food occasionally drifted from the house tied with hardwood. Young elves dressed casually were laughing and playing among the branches, while the elf horses and caravans moved forward in an orderly manner on the designated road.
Different from the cold cities on earth that are dominated by asphalt and concrete, the ground of Dandelion is covered with shallow grass. Similarly, through the color of the grass, the grass is also divided into areas for vehicles and horses and areas for walking.
"The green lawn is the movement range of our elves, and the yellow lawn is the rapid passage range of the caravans and elf horses. These yellow grasses are called roadbed grass. They are tough, durable and have strong survivability, but they will only grow and reproduce in place. , they can make the ground where it takes root very hard, making it very suitable for paving roads. This grass is a magical plant that was jointly improved and promoted by our two great former elf elders, Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes."
Looking back at George who was dazzled, Lova smiled and introduced him in detail about the history and common sense of elves.
"Miss Lova, are you sure it's okay to leave Mr. Green in the forest?" George asked tentatively to Lova who was sitting in front of the horse while his eyes were resting.
"Don't worry, he is a Druid. Oh, I haven't introduced you to the profession of our elves. No matter which camp you are in, there are two basic professions, the legal system and the combat system. Like us elves, as natural The largest population group in the camp, natural spells and archery are the two most suitable directions for our people to learn. I am an elf hunter, I learn archery, and am good at long-range attacks; Green is a druid, I learn natural spells, and I am good at long-range attacks. Use the energy of nature to summon spells. So, just like worrying about whether a fish falling into the water will drown, do you need to worry about a druid in the forest?"
Lova rolled her eyes at George behind her. Although she did not turn around, she believed that George must know her expression.
It wasn't just George who was testing Lova, Lova was also testing him. The female sixth sense told Lova that there were many, many more abilities that George had not shown.
"Miss Lova, can you tell me why there are so many elves on both sides of the road? Are they welcoming you back in triumph?" George glanced at both sides of the road. Countless elves were standing on the roadside, looking towards George and the others. pointing, accompanied by whispers and bursts of murmured laughter.
It seems that ordinary elves are no different from the melon-eating crowds among humans who like to watch, George thought to himself.
"Um... maybe, maybe they are more curious about you as a stranger." Lova couldn't say for sure. When she returned before, there really weren't that many elves watching.
"Maybe they are curious about why you have a stranger like me on your horse?" George's teasing made Lova blush.
"Then why don't you come down and take a walk?"
"Ah! I suddenly feel that the wound on my leg hurts!"
"What's wrong? Let me see? Humph! The wound has stopped bleeding a long time ago, you big liar!"
