A minute later, the empty orbital cabin stopped smoothly on the outer ring platform of Hanging City No. 1.
Hanging City No. 1 is somewhat different from Hanging City No. 2. Looking from the outer ring into the glass cover, there is a white mist, making it impossible to see the internal situation clearly.
"Good afternoon, Captain Elif, are you ready to go back to the elf residence?" asked the elf guard standing in front of a green portal on the outer ring of the glass cover.
"Yes, they will go back with me. Father has given permission." Elif nodded.
"Okay, please allow us to verify the identities of the two gentlemen again."
After confirming the identities of Chen Yao and Baloch again, the elf guards released the two.
Following Elif into the green portal, the scene in front of them changed rapidly, and the three of them came to a lush green grassland...
"Is this the inside of Hanging City No. 1? No wonder we have to let others in..."
Both the air freshness and the environment here are much better than other suspended islands. The position where a few people are standing is at the edge of the glass cover of No. 1 suspended island. Countless elves are flying freely among the flowers on the grass...
"Uh...what are these elves doing?" Chen Yao asked curiously.
"Collecting nectar, this is the elves' favorite food."
"Ah? Can you feel full just by eating nectar?"
"We also eat other things, such as morning dew, and some fruits and vegetables that grow naturally."
"that's it?"
"Yes, it is enough for the elves to eat these things. These naturally-given foods can make the elves' power more pure and their lifespan longer." Elif nodded and explained.
"Okay...can you give me some nectar?"
"What do you want nectar for?" Elif asked with some confusion.
"Refining elixirs, uh... I want to try to see how using these nectars to refine elixirs is different from using ordinary honey..."
"Oh well..."
"Jasmine! Come here!" Elif greeted an elf a few meters away.
"What's going on? Lady Evely."
Hearing Elif's call, an elf flew over carrying a palm-sized flower basket.
"Jasmine, how much nectar have you collected today?"
"Lord Elif, Jasmine has collected two jars of nectar today!" The elf circled around Elif, looking extremely happy.
"Okay, Jasmine is great! Then take out a jar and give it to this gentleman." Elif pointed to Chen Yao beside her.
"Huh? But in this case, Jasmine will only collect one jar of nectar. If the nectar is not enough, Jasmine will be scolded!" the elf said pitifully.
"It doesn't matter, just say that I took away a can and see who dares to scold you! If anyone dares to scold you, come to me!" Elif said domineeringly.
"Oh well..."
The elf flew to Chen Yao and handed him a flower basket...
"Sir, the nectar is in the flower basket. Can you take it yourself?"
Looking at the pitiful elf in front of him, who was only the size of an arm, Chen Yao suddenly had the idea of playing tricks on her...
"Oops, I accidentally took them all away!" Chen Yao reached into the flower basket and took out two small glass bottles filled with transparent liquid...
"No, no, no! Please don't take them all! This is what Jasmine collected with great difficulty!" The elf grabbed Chen Yao's sleeve and begged...
"Mr. Chen Yao! Please don't tease her!" Elif frowned and said seriously.
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, little Jasmine is so cute, I couldn't hold it back for a moment...hehe..."
"Here, I'll give it back to you. Look, I only took one bottle, right?"
Chen Yao put the bottle of nectar back into the flower basket and shook the small bottle of nectar in his hand.
"Thank you, sir!" The elf happily circled around Chen Yao.
Well...shouldn't it be Chen Yao who expresses his gratitude? This elf is so gentle and kind...
After carefully observing little Jasmine for a few times, Chen Yao found that except for the size and the two pairs of wings behind him, the rest of this little guy was almost carved out of the same mold as Elif!
Chen Yao suddenly had a bold idea...
"Um...Ms. Elif, can I..."
"Put away your dirty thoughts. Adopting an elf privately is a serious crime in the upper city!" Chen Yao's idea was seen through by Elif at a glance.
"How dirty am I! Don't I just want to adopt an elf as a daughter!?" Chen Yao retorted unconvinced.
"This is impossible unless...you can get father's permission!"
"Oh? Is that possible? Hehe, let's go and see your father! Goodbye, little Jasmine!"
After Chen Yao nodded little Jasmine's head, he quickly walked forward with excitement.
"Goodbye, Mr. Chenyao." Little Jasmine also waved goodbye blankly.
The two of them hurriedly followed Chen Yao and followed the path in the direction they came from. Beyond that, there was a large lush forest...
"Do you usually live here?"
Looking curiously at the tall and thick trees in front of me, this is somewhat similar to the forest of sacred trees...
"Yes, the elves of our ancestors all lived in treehouses built on trees. This not only prevents wild beasts from invading, but also brings them closer to nature. This is the true tradition and inheritance of the elves." Elif Tris said while saying Chen Yao spread his knowledge while greeting other elves in response.
"So that's it..."
Hiss... Then why doesn't Alicia live in a tree?
"By the way...those elves are almost carved out of the same mold as elves. Are elves also a type of elves? I mean, uh...are they also a race that is produced normally?"
"No! Elves are very special beings. The way they are born is very strange. Whenever a new elf is born, there is a high probability that an elf will be born at the same time. This probability is related to the purity of the elf's blood. Direct hookup.”
"For example, if the purity of my elf blood is 100%, then when I am born, a new elf will be born, and so on."
"The appearance of the elf is almost the same as that of the associated elf, and there is a certain degree of mutual induction between the elf and the elf. This induction ignores distance. For example, if the elf is injured, the elf will also feel pain. vice versa."
"Generally speaking, there are only female elves. If a male elf is born, it means that the power of nature is disordered and a disaster is about to happen!"
Elif Tris patiently explained.
"Oh...it turns out to be so complicated..."
"Then, hey...which elf was born with you?" Chen Yao chuckled.
"...You have already seen it just now." Elif Tris had a strange expression...
"Little Jasmine?? That's great! I like little Jasmine so much!!" Chen Yao smacked his palm and said excitedly.
"Chen Yao! What do you mean???" Baloch suddenly became unhappy!
"What do you mean? You like Ms. Elif, not little Jasmine!" Chen Yao retorted with his hands.
"Then you can't..."
"Okay! Shut up, you two!" Elif Tris gritted her teeth and turned her head with a blush!
"Okay, okay, I shut up, I shut up..." Chen Yao raised his hands in surrender...
"..."
After walking through the lush forest path for more than ten minutes, Elif finally stopped.
"arrive?"
"Well, the place where the elves live is right ahead."
In front of a few people was a huge hemisphere that was wrapped and bent by countless trees and vines. The hemisphere was ridiculously large, with a radius of several hundred meters at least!
"Bloom!"
Bringing the two people close to the hemisphere, Elif stretched out her palms and recited a spell. A flash of green light shone, and the hemisphere made of plants slowly opened a gap. Elif led the three people into it quickly. ...
Chen Yao looked around curiously. There were countless tree houses made of various trees hanging on the inner walls of the elves' residence. When he saw three people coming in, a large number of elves came out of the tree houses and observed the two strangers curiously. ..
Further forward is a flower bed several meters in size. Bees and butterflies are flying in the flower bed, and a variety of bright flowers are blooming. In the center of the flower bed is a... branch? ? ?
WTF...
"What is that branch? Why is it stuck there?" Chen Yao couldn't help but ask.
"Those are the branches of the Tree of Life. My father and mother have always wanted to cultivate the Tree of Life. With the Tree of Life, the elven tribe will be truly complete. For hundreds of years, the tribesmen have used the power of life to irrigate it every day. But I don’t know why, the branches of the tree of life have been sleeping..."
As she spoke, Elif's face showed a deep look of worry.
"That's it..." Chen Yao lowered his head and pondered...
After walking some distance further, the three of them arrived at the other end of the elf's residence.
On two simple thrones made of tree branches, a pair of elves and a man and a woman were sitting. It looked like they had been waiting for a long time...
"Chen Yao, see the City Lord and the City Lord's wife!" Chen Yao took the lead and rushed to the front of the throne, bowed and shouted.
"Huh? Mr. Chenyao, there's no need for this. We elves don't have such etiquette. Just be more casual."
"Oh, alright."
The elf man in front of him was extremely handsome, with an elegant and easy-going demeanor, coupled with a perfect handsome appearance.
It would be great if he were an elf... Chen Yao couldn't help but sigh in his heart...
"Father, mother! I can now fully control the fire element! Look!"
"blaze!"
Elif chanted the spell, and soon a huge fireball condensed in her palm!
"Oh! It's unbelievable, Elif, my good daughter, you have successfully overcome your fear. You have done well."
The elf woman with white eyebrows and white hair stood up and said with a somewhat surprised expression.
"Disperse!"
Elif chanted a spell to disperse the fireball between her palms...
"This is all the result of Mr. Chen Yao. Mr. Chen Yao is a master of controlling flames, and he is not afraid of any flames!"
"That's right! Mr. Chen Yao not only helped me overcome my fear of flames, but also gave me a bottle of magical elixir that can improve my control over flames!" Elif trotted to the two of them and took out the fire elixir. The elixir bottle was displayed happily.
Hmm... In front of the city lord and his wife, Elif looks a bit like a little girl...
"Haha, Mr. Chen Yao has helped you so much, does he have any request?" Ben Barton took the pill bottle containing the Fire Pill and asked casually after smelling it.
"Yes...he asked me to agree to have dinner with Mr. Baloch over there..." At this point, Elif Tris blushed a little.
"Huh? What a strange request..."
"Uh...Mr. City Lord..."
"You can call me Mr. Ben or Mr. Barton."
"Okay, Mr. Barton, it's like this. My good friend Baloch has liked Ms. Elif very much since a long time ago, but he gets nervous when he sees Ms. Elif, so I use this method to help. He..." Chen Yao confessed.
"You are surprisingly candid..." Ben Barton smiled lightly.
"Chen Yao and Baloqi Shenji are quite famous in Xiacheng District, especially you, Chen Yao. If the information is correct, the bounty issued by Chenxing for you is 250,000 gold coins."
"Well... this is nothing to show off, let's get down to business..." Chen Yao began to change the subject.
"Mr. Barton, do you know this thing?" Chen Yao took out the leaf-shaped green crystal.
"Oh?" "Phew!" A vine stretched out from the ground, grabbed the crystal in Chen Yao's hand and handed it to Ben Barton...
"Such pure life force! You can't go wrong! This definitely comes from the real pure-blooded elves!" Ben Button felt the crystal for a moment and said with a solemn expression.
"So, where are my people?"
"Hey...Mr. Barton, I have some small requests. I hope the two of us can find a quiet place to discuss."
Chen Yao scratched his head and said a little embarrassed.
"Oh? Making demands as soon as you come here? You are being honest, but I also have a small request..."
Ben Barton showed a hint of amusement on his face and slowly stood up.
"blaze!"
He raised his palm upwards, and in just one second, a fireball more than two meters in size suddenly condensed and formed!
"My dear daughter just said that you are not afraid of flames. I am a little curious about this and want to discuss it with Mr. Chen Yao. How about it?"
I--*! ! !
Chen Yao frowned immediately and hid behind Elif in a flash!
"Mr. Barton, if you have anything to say, can we make peace?"
"Mr. Chen Yao! As a man! How can you hide behind a woman?!" Elif's favorable impression of Chen Yao suddenly dropped sharply!
"Yes! Are you a boy or a man? You are actually hiding behind a woman!!!" Baloch's face was also a little nervous...
"Well... you are right, I shouldn't hide behind women, I should..."
Chen Yao jumped twice and moved directly behind Baloch...
"Well! After all, men have broad shoulders and are reliable!" Chen Yao patted Baloch's tight latissimus dorsi and said with satisfaction.
.....................
The entire residence fell silent.
