"Thank you for your help. If it were not calmed down so quickly, it would have caused more damage to the Forest of Origin."
The elf ranger Kerry put away his long bow and short sword and thanked Wang Yu and the others seriously.
"This is right. The elves have helped me a lot before, but compared to this, I still want to know more about the situation of this forest. From the state of this ancient war tree to spy on the entire forest, I'm afraid the problem is not only It’s just that simple…”
Sieg walked to the ancient war tree that had transformed into a giant tree, and wiped his hand on its trunk. His hands were full of bright red beast blood, and the smell of blood rushed into his nostrils. Sieg turned his head and asked Kerry .
"It's indeed a bit bad. The main reason is that apart from observing the sudden uprising of these ancient war trees, we didn't get any more information."
"You can ask your friend about the specific situation. His status should be enough to answer what you want to know. However, I am just a ranger and am not qualified to inform you of specific matters for the time being."
Kerry responded, his tone serious, but not overly worried.
"Mr. Ranger, if possible, could you tell me how many ancient war trees there are in this forest?"
Aviya, who was studying the ancient branches of war with Wang Yu, asked the elf ranger a question.
"Well, that's no problem. The special environment of the Origin Forest makes it easier for ancient war trees to be born than in other places. Therefore, ancient war trees account for fifty percent of the total number of tree spirits in this forest. About one.”
Crane did not refuse to answer this non-confidential question and told the girl directly.
"So many? If such a giant creature were only half rioting, the damage it would cause would not be even a little bit."
Wang Yu roughly estimated the number of these ancient war trees and found that based on the size of this forest, the number of ancient war trees was at least a thousand. It is difficult to imagine the destructive power of so many ancient war trees moving together.
"Well, it's difficult to deal with. Magical creatures like the Ancient War Tree have strong magic resistance. Large-scale covering magic is very ineffective against them. Once the number increases, it will be difficult to deal with them."
Aviya, who was questioned by Wang Yu with his eyes, confirmed Wang Yu's conjecture. Although this single ancient war tree was quickly dealt with by Wang Yu and the others, this was just to appease, not to kill.
Think about it, thousands of ancient war trees move together, and the destructive power of magic on them is limited. Let the warriors go up and fight with them. Even if they are not crushed by their huge power, it will be difficult to defeat these thick-skinned tree people. any idea.
"Shashasha..."
The sound coming from the forest made Wang Yu turn his attention there. Several elves wearing cloaks and carrying long bows and short blades jumped out of the woods and came to Keri's side.
"Kerry, you handled it very quickly this time. Also, what's going on with these foreigners?"
One of the elf rangers walked up to Kerry. He first praised Kerry for completing the task alone, and then asked Kerry about Wang Yu and the others.
"It is our guest, this gentleman has the golden maple leaf as a token, and it is also their help that allowed me to appease the ancient war tree so smoothly."
Crane showed Sieg to him and introduced him.
"Golden Maple Leaf? How rude. Please come with us to Liaheim. You are all our distinguished guests."
The elf who asked aloud was obviously stunned after learning about the existence of Golden Maple Leaf, and then immediately gave Sieg an elegant salute, as did the other arriving rangers.
"Then I'll trouble you all."
Sieg said with a smile without being polite, and led Wang Yu and others to follow the pace of the elf rangers and walk deeper into the forest.
Walking in the Forest of Origin, where the trees were becoming more and more lush, Wang Yu looked at the situation in the distance, only to find that besides the forest, the so-called capital of elves, Liaheim, had never entered his sight.
"Is it underground or something? I shouldn't have walked for so long without seeing it."
Wang Yu, who was pondering the situation in the Elf Capital in his mind, looked at the surrounding forest, and then he discovered a lot of good things that were quite rare in King Arestle City.
"Qing Lin Flower, Lan Pot Grass, Magic Vine, Emerald Moss, Blood-Rich Mushroom... Damn, they are all good things. Also, this kind of forest with extremely abundant vitality and rich magic power does not have many magic plants and medicinal materials. That’s a weird thing, it’s a pharmacist’s paradise, it’s like that.”
Wang Yu let go of his senses, and his penetrating vision spread out, and he immediately discovered a large number of magic plants and medicinal materials among the surrounding grass and rocks.
It is not the kind of extremely rare item that will cause widespread phenomena once it is born, but it is also a rare and good thing among the materials needed by pharmacists. The most important thing is that there are really many.
"Everyone, I would like to ask if the medicinal herbs here can be picked. If so, I would like to pick some materials for making potions."
Wang Yu is a guy who is not easily embarrassed and can put down his face. If he wanted to pick something, he made a request directly to the elf rangers.
Several elf rangers turned to look at Wang Yu, with slightly amused expressions on their faces, and nodded casually.
"You can take it as you please. It doesn't matter. These herbs are not precious things. The ancient war trees that just rioted destroyed many of these magic plants."
The elven rangers of Credai, who knew Wang Yu, agreed to Wang Yu's request.
"That's right. With the density at which this kind of demonic plant grows, I don't know how much it was destroyed just now. Hiss... it's such a violent attack."
Wang Yu smacked his lips, and he understood that the other party didn't care about these magic plants, but he didn't miss the thanks he needed. There are definitely not many humans who can enter the Forest of Origin to collect medicine. He can be regarded as an inheritance from the elves. their love.
The power of the chariot unfolded, and the invisible force stretched out to the surroundings. He did not deliberately let everyone stop and wait for him to pick. They observed while walking. As long as the medicinal materials were discovered by Wang Yu, they would be caught by Wang Yu's extended power and taken back to them. .
Aviya tacitly opened the space crack next to Wang Yu. When Wang Yu grabbed the medicinal materials, she roughly processed them and then stuffed them into the space by category.
Examining the medicinal herbs Wang Yu grabbed from the secret place on the roadside, the girl gradually became happy. These various magic plants can not only be used to refine medicine, but many materials are also needed for alchemy to make magic ink. Can be used with alchemical alloys.
She smiled and hummed a cheerful ditty that Wang Yu had heard to her before. Aviya was in a good mood. Wang Yu naturally didn't need to mention that this guy had already used the word "joy" since he started collecting herbs.
The elves took a look at the two people who were happily collecting herbs along the way. They all thought it was a bit fun and chatted with each other. They generally thought that Wang Yu was quite relaxing.
After walking forward for another ten minutes, the elves slowed down, and the elf ranger walking at the front began to chant something, the secret language of nature.
Wang Yu, who had gained a lot, also stopped gathering herbs from the forest because his perception touched a special barrier right in front, but to the naked eye, it still looked like a forest.
"Wonderful stuff."
Wang Yu muttered in his mind that this barrier was somewhat like the product of a magic circle, but it was different.
And as the elf ranger chanted, the layer in front of him that hid the elf city gradually opened, revealing what was inside the barrier.
"Dear guests, welcome to Liaheim, the capital of southern elves."
Keri turned his head and introduced the world inside to Zig and the others.
It was as if a hole had been opened in the curtain of space. It looked like it was still a forest scene further forward, but at this moment, a hole was opened in this scene, showing a prosperous city in front of Sieg and the others. in front of.
The first thing that came into everyone's sight was the extremely tall and majestic tree, the Southern Tree of Life. The thick trunk with a diameter of more than a hundred meters stood in the center of the Elf City. The lush canopy stretched out to the surroundings, with dense trees. The branches and leaves cover half of the sky in the city.
The green sky does not mean to block the sunlight. The light cast by the sun in the sky strangely passes directly through the green crown of the giant tree and shines on the elven city built around the giant tree below, making the elven city shine brightly at this moment. And the soft brilliance of the magic moon at night must also be able to cast a veil of twilight over the city.
You can see many green light spots suddenly appearing around the Tree of Life, and then gradually dimming, becoming smaller, and disappearing into the sky. These are the life force clumps released by the Tree of Life after absorbing the surrounding energy and converting it into life force. They will Gradually spread out and feed back the world.
There are many buildings built on the huge body of the Tree of Life. The giant tree proliferates branches and vines that seem to have autonomous consciousness, which is the best helper for the elves. The giant tree will help the elves build on its body. buildings, and use their own branches and vines to act as lifts.
The elves never worry that this powerful and magnificent tree will hurt them, because the elves were born within the tree of life. To them, this giant tree is their tall and gentle mother.
The towns of the elves are built around the Tree of Life, and are also three-dimensionally based on other relatively smaller giant trees that accompany the Tree of Life. The buildings are scattered and scattered on the giant trees and the ground, overlapping each other. connect.
Different from the random growth and spread of King City Shadow without any planning at all, the buildings in Elf City were planned and arranged by wise men. They are densely stacked but do not give people a chaotic feeling.
It is connected by wooden corridors and the gathering platform is intertwined with living vines. The whole place blends well with the trees, but it does not give people an original feeling.
What slightly surprised Wang Yu was the architectural style of the elves. The houses built between giant trees and on platforms were not completely wooden with some grass decorations, which was in line with Wang Yu's stereotype of elves. From the impression, these buildings have many shadows of human architecture in them.
The bricks and stones and some decorations made Wang Yu feel that it was not inconsistent to regard this place as a human kingdom built both in the air and on the ground.
Although this kind of scattered arrangement does pose a risk of falling from a high place for humans, and may not be very friendly to people with a fear of heights, it is completely fine for agile elves.
And in other words, if someone really breaks into the Elf City, they will be tortured when facing this "complicated" city.
The elf rangers led Wang Yu and the others into the elf capital hidden in the forest. Wang Yu looked back and saw that the opening he had just opened had been closed. Looking out from here was a normal forest scene.
But in fact, under normal circumstances, the extremely exaggerated Tree of Life cannot be seen from the outside. There is definitely something covering Liaheim.
"It should be Mystic Lock, a technology unique to the elves. After humans learned it, it was used in magic circles and transformed into floating-point magic circle construction technology. To put it simply, this city was surrounded by a huge, "living" Protected by the magic circle."
Aviya saw what Wang Yu was paying attention to. A girl who knew much more than Wang Yu, she immediately gave Wang Yu a popular science.
"I see."
Wang Yu sighed with emotion.
It is worthy of being the second oldest race among the five races. In the era when the elves were truly glorious, they left behind too much technology and inheritance. Even though many were left behind in the Battle of the Abyss, it seems now that the elves are still Some of the technologies passed down are still exaggerated.
The elven rangers separated after entering Liaheim, leaving only Kerry to take Sieg and everyone to the elven city.
"Mr. Sieg, just take out the golden maple leaf here and wait a moment. Your old friend will soon know your arrival with this, and he will naturally come to pick you up later. I have something else to do, so I'll leave it for now. left."
After Kerry informed Sieg of the matter, he left. Elves are much more direct than humans.
Based on what he said, Sieg took out the golden maple leaf, put it in his hand, and waited quietly.
Wang Yu could feel that after entering Liaheim, the golden maple leaves emitted an invisible energy, extending in the direction of the tree of life in the distance. This should be the use of this token.
Not long after, a giant eagle flapping its wings appeared in the distant sky, flying straight towards Wang Yu and the others.
On the back of this giant eagle, stood a handsome male elf, holding a staff made from the branches of the main trunk of the Tree of Life, which was enough to prove his high position in the elf capital. Elder.
"Boom! Click, click, click."
The huge eagle fell from the sky, fell towards this side, and was about to stop on the ground. However, this guy seemed to be not very good at it. He spread his wings and hit the big tree next to him. Suddenly, the huge eagle lost its balance and crashed. It rolled over and crashed all the way, crushing a large area of innocent trees.
"..." Noelle, the red dragon girl, looked at the elf elder who had fallen from the giant eagle to the ground and slid face down in front of her. She was a little hesitant to help him up.
"Alas, Angora's flying skills are still so bad. It's a shame that it has grown so big. It's really embarrassing for me to have to come and pick you up when I know you're coming."
Before Noelle could think about it, the elf man got up from the ground, patted the dirt on his body, and said with some embarrassment.
"Haha, Angola is still the same as before. Aren't you a lot bigger too? You look the same as before, Ge Wen."
Sieg smiled and walked up to the crashed giant eagle, touched the other person's head, and when the giant eagle showed a humane look of enjoyment on its face, he turned to talk to his old friend.
"After all, I am also an elder of the Elf clan. It is easy to find something that will keep my youthful appearance forever. Otherwise, you may have seen me look a bit like a middle-aged man. After all, a few hundred years is a long time for an elf's lifespan. It's been a long time, but for a giant dragon, it's only a moment."
Ge Wen came to Siege, gave him a hug, and said with a little helplessness.
"Come with me and chat over there where I live."
Ge Wen patted the giant eagle Angora on the head, motioned for him to bend down and let everyone come up, and then motioned for everyone present to go together.
Everyone climbed onto the broad back of the giant eagle, and the giant eagle flapped its wings, flew up, and flew towards the tree of life.
"Gwen, what's going on in the Forest of Origin recently? It seems like something troublesome has happened?"
Sieg asked this question to his old friend during the flight. He needed an answer.
"Well, you must have experienced something. In fact, the problem is bigger than it seems on the surface. This is related to the Tree of Life and the dwarves. This is the reason why outsiders are not welcome in Liaheim recently. We and The dwarves have some conflict.”
Ge Wen briefly explained the situation with a serious expression.
"dwarf?"
Sieg chewed on the word...
