An Lusi came over hesitantly, frowning and looking at the ugly corpse witch elf.
The corpse witch struggled hard and roared: "Ruth, you were blinded by their illusion, kill them, kill them to break the illusion!"
An Lusi looked at Anthony hesitantly.
Anthony spread his hands and said: "Do you think this is an illusion? Your big elf was beaten to death by one of our adults."
An Lusi was shocked and immediately stopped hesitating. If it was an illusion, you resist, great elf! Ange can knock out the big elf with one punch, so he can also knock her out with one punch. The big elf can't bear it, so why let them die?
Thinking of this, An Lusi looked at Ange in fear, as if she had brought back a very scary guy.
It's really scary. Anthony can understand this feeling, as if the gods of light were defeated in front of their believers.
This corpse witch used some method to disguise himself as a great elf and fooled these void elves into thinking it was a god. Then the god was knocked out of its prototype by Ange with one punch. The impact on the elves can be imagined.
In order not to frighten them, Anthony quickly said: "Come on, let's have something to eat and chat while eating. Sir, can you treat them to a few fruits of life?"
Ange nodded and took out a dozen fruits of life. When he was about to take them out, he was held down by Anthony: "That's enough, that's enough. Your Excellency, aren't you going to prepare one for each person? Let's share it among ten, that's enough."
Ange tilted his head, don't you need one for each person? If ten people share it, can they be full?
Anthony laughed sarcastically: "The fruit of life, just share it and eat it. Do you still want to be full? I..."
For the first time, Anthony had the same idea as Nigris - to lose money.
One Fruit of Life is as big as a basin, and its vitality is very strong. The elves have eaten it for a long time, and their lives have changed from a short-lived species with a life span of two hundred years to a long-lived species that is more than a thousand years old. For living species, this is a magical thing that can extend life. , you can’t even buy anything, but you still want to feed them?
"Oh." Ange stuffed the extra ones back, leaving only ten.
An Lusi's attention was locked on the Fruit of Life from the moment it appeared. Although she had never seen the Fruit of Life, the feeling engraved in her blood made her instantly realize what it was.
For other species, the Fruit of Life is just something that prolongs life, and the extra lifespan is increased. But for elves, especially void elves like them, who have a lifespan of up to three thousand years, the Fruit of Life is their life, and they cannot eat it. A large portion of their lifespan disappears in just one stroke.
Ange originally took out a dozen, but now he stuffed a few more back. What was stuffed was no longer the fruit of life, but her life. She subconsciously screamed.
Everyone looked over in confusion, and An Lusi realized that the fruit was not hers, but someone else's treat, and she immediately blushed.
Still blushing? These elves are so innocent, Anthony murmured in his heart, and then began to greet everyone: "Come on, come on, come and eat some of the Life Fruit. I heard that the Life Fruit can extend the life of the elves. If you eat this often, your life must be very long, right?" "
At first, Anluosi was happily dividing the fruit and wanted to pick a big piece. Anthony's words suddenly hit her lungs and the fruit of life no longer smelled good.
Do they void elves have a long lifespan? Legend has it that they have a lifespan of three thousand years, but now they basically can't live to be sixty years old. Is it considered a long time?
"Pfft - sixty years old? This... how old are you this year?" Nigris couldn't help but ask.
"Eighteen." An Lusi said.
"...Then you look quite old. The Elf Queen Gaeladria who entrusted us is more than two hundred years old, and she doesn't look as old as you." Nigris said.
"More than two hundred years old? How long can a plane elf live?" An Lusi asked curiously.
"More than a thousand years old," Nigris said.
An Lusi suddenly became proud: "We void elves have a lifespan of more than three thousand years."
Nigris waved his hand: "That's all the business of your ancestors. Good elves don't mention the ancestors' bravery. Your current life span is not as long as that of humans."
An Lusi was shocked and bit down on the fruit of life in her hand. After chewing it a few times and swallowing it, An Lusi was stunned.
This was the first time in her life that she had eaten the Fruit of Life. Although there were various rumors that her ears had grown cocoons, this was the first time that she had eaten it in her stomach.
How to describe it? It felt like a life force slipped from her throat into her stomach. She could feel every fold in her stomach stretching and cheering. This life force was absorbed by her stomach and turned into a warm current flowing to her limbs, skin and nails.
When the warmth rushed to her nails, she subconsciously looked at her nails and saw that the barbs at the junction of nails and skin were even and smooth, visible to the naked eye.
People who have never had barbs may not know how annoying they are. If you accidentally scratch them, it will hurt like hell. If you want to tear them off, you may bring up a large piece of skin, which will make you want to live.
The elders of the tribe said that it was because of the lack of plant nutrition and that they could just chew more leaves. But now, these annoying barbs have disappeared?
Not only were the hangnails, but the skin was also much smoother, and the scalp was also itchy, as if hair was about to grow. However, everything stopped suddenly and the flow disappeared.
Now no one will doubt that this is not the Fruit of Life. Personal experience is the most convincing. An Lusika ate the whole piece of the Fruit of Life and licked the juice from her hands without wanting to finish it. She is looking forward to it. looked at Anthony.
How could someone like Anthony, who was the best at grasping the scale, satisfy her? The easiest time to give in is when you have unfulfilled desires and are dissatisfied.
It's a pity that I used too much force just now and poked the corpse witch's sore spot, causing it to immediately turn its face. But the problem is, who could have thought that it was a corpse witch? The beauty and solemnity on the outside are all illusions. Hey, no, can an adult see through it? Is it an illusion? I have to review my experience when I go back.
"Is it delicious? Every year during the harvest season, the Tree of Life will be filled with fruits that the elves cannot harvest by themselves. A large number of birds and beasts will come around, peck open the peel, and suck the sweet juice inside, leaving only the pulp. You can throw it away to feed the horses, but it’s such a waste,” Anthony said.
Ann Ruth couldn't help but swallow, even though there was nothing in her mouth.
Seeing this scene, even Lightning felt that Anthony was too cruel. Talking about this in front of an elf who had only eaten a small piece was the same as saying in front of Ange, 'There are many fields outside that are abandoned, but you can't go out.' ?
It's too cruel. Please increase your intensity. Also, you are the horse, and your whole family is a horse! ! Lightning was furious in his mind while watching the show.
It's a pity that Anthony didn't increase the intensity. He was afraid that the stimulation would be too much. The topic changed and he asked: "How many void elves do you still have?"
"About half a million. There hasn't been a census for a long time. A census was done four hundred years ago. There were still more than half a million people." An Lusi said.
"Half a million?" Anthony and Negris were shocked. Looking at the surrounding environment, it didn't look like they could hide half a million void elves here.
"This is a forbidden area, so there are few people. The other elves are in other places and live scattered."
"So that's it. So what's the situation like with the elves in other places? What do they eat, live in, and use?"
After asking, Anthony found that An Lusi was almost clueless: "We haven't contacted the elves in other places for a long time, and we don't know how they are doing."
There has been no counting for four hundred years, and there has been no contact for a long time. Doesn’t she, the Queen of Elf, manage other people?
Anthony whispered: "I probably know the reason. Because they are poor, management requires costs. They occupy forbidden areas and have a reputation of righteousness, but they are as poor as ghosts and have no way to manage the tribesmen outside. You can manage it." , do you want to provide relief to the people of the tribe who don’t have enough to eat? Who will listen to you if they don’t have enough to eat?”
"Many human villages were one family hundreds of years ago, but after they separated, they gradually lost contact and each lived their own lives. This is mainly because of this reason."
Everyone suddenly realized: "It seems that the lives of these void elves are even worse than we imagined."
After some conversation, everyone finally knew how miserable these elves were. As everyone could see, they had no food or clothing, and their main food source was moss and leaves.
The 'boulder' they were on was a little smaller than the one Trinute was on. It was also a mixture of the broken branches of the Divine Tree of All Worlds and rock and soil. Moss was attached to the broken branches, and the places where there was soil were scattered. There are some low trees growing.
Their staple food is moss, and they don't dare to eat leaves because they have to keep them for making clothes. As for weapons, they have to be as crude as possible.
This resulted in their current eldest elf being no longer than sixty years old.
After understanding their situation, Anthony asked again: "Then why do you think the tree shepherd is a rotten tree monster?"
"According to legend, it is the rotten tree monster." An Lusi said matter-of-factly.
"Who 'passed' that to you?" Anthony deliberately emphasized the word 'passed'.
An Lusi was stunned for a long time, then suddenly pointed at the Corpse Witch: "It's the Great Elf."
"In other words, all your history, habits and knowledge were passed down to you by it?" Anthony asked.
An Lusi nodded.
"Oh——" Everyone suddenly realized, no wonder the perception is crooked, and those who dare to convey feelings are crooked in the first place.
It was the turn of the corpse witch, and everyone was not so polite to it. Anthony even turned to Ann Ruth and said, "We are going to torture him. Do you want to watch it together?"
Anluosi hesitated: "But, I, the great elf, this..."
"Even if it is your great elf, can you beat us? You must know that we are here to rescue the sacred tree elves. If you attack us, you will not lose the chance of being rescued, and you will be beaten to death by us. You Do you want to do it or take a look together?"
Anthony's heart-wrenching words made everyone's teeth ache. They put themselves in his shoes and thought about what a difficult choice this was for an eighteen-year-old void elf.
No, no, it’s simply: there are two roads in front of my house, one is a dead end, and the other is also a dead end.
If it were an ordinary person, they would just run away at this moment and choose nothing, but Anluosi suddenly gritted her teeth, turned around and waved to the other elves: "Everyone, stay away!"
The elves were confused, but quickly retreated to a distance, while Anluosi came closer and said, "Let me take a look."
Anluosi's decision became the last straw that broke the corpse witch's heart. It no longer concealed it and said angrily: "I advise you to let me go obediently. You don't know what kind of existence you will provoke. If you don't die, Lord, right? That is my 'King', if you hurt me, the Immortal Lord will surely throw your soul into the soul prison."
