There are not many roads in the dark forest, and most of them remain in their most primitive state. However, Ryan easily moved quickly through the forest, no slower than the few elves around him.

After observing for a while, the surrounding elves all let their guard down, as they sensed the natural aura from Ryan. And neither those humans who have taken refuge in evil nor those trolls orcs are so close to nature.

Soon everyone began to chat, the little puppet and Toriel chatted very well, and Ryan's stories of the various worlds he had experienced were also refreshing to the elves who had lived in the woods for hundreds of years. Especially when they heard the story of how Ryan used the power of nature to destroy those evil undead with plants in a world, they all had a taste of hatred and hatred, and of course, through such chats, the relationship between everyone quickly became closer.

Because the forest was fast traveling for all, an hour later Ryan found a moss-covered stone path beneath his feet.

After stepping on this path, the elves seemed to be much happier, because it meant that they were almost home. After following the path through treacherous valleys, forests, swamps, and streams, they finally came to the edge of a rushing stream six or seven meters wide.

The stream is topped by a narrow stone bridge without a guardrail, and on the other side of the stream is a steep stone hillside. Directly opposite the bridge was a fine stone gate where several elves in armor with spears stood guard.

Unlike the imaginary elven dwelling, the elven court in the dark forest is an underground structure. This is supposed to commemorate the Ming Ni Kingdom, the city of a thousand grottoes.

Soon after, led by Legolas, Ryan met the owner, Thrandil. Thranduil was a good-looking man, dressed in an extremely fine silver robe, and wearing a crown of red leaves and berries between his blonde hair.

After talking to his son, Thranduil said in a magnetic voice: "Welcome, friend of nature." I can see in you that nature cares for you, and I think what you say should be true. So as long as you don't have bad intentions, I agree to make a deal with you. ”

Soon, Ryan was taken by Legolas and Toriel to a very open area, surrounded by many elves.

"Where is this?" asked the Rose Crystal as it flew in mid-air, probably because there weren't many things in this world that could fly without wings, plus the Rose Crystal's beautiful appearance. The elves who came and went around looked at the rose crystal with curious eyes, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"This is the largest square in the Elven King's Hall, where the people usually gather and trade what they need. That's why my father asked me to bring you here. Legolas said from the side.

"So I can show my goods?" Ryan asked. After seeing Legolas nod, Ryan began to pull out a piece of specialty from the world.

Due to the habits of the elves, this time the product is not an industrial device. Instead, it is dominated by a variety of magical plants and some extraordinary materials, as well as some high-end daily necessities, such as porcelain and lacquerware.

Soon, these exotic goods attracted the elves who came and went. After all, Ryan is not just to make money, so he uses magic to tell the elves loudly that whether it is knowledge, interesting items or even stories that Ryan himself finds interesting, it can be used as a way to trade, and now the bored Touriel team plus Legolas are hired by Ryan to help with the price at the cost of a whole set of magic seeds.

Ryan found that sunshine mushrooms and sunflowers were the most popular items to trade, and even many elves couldn't wait to get them in their houses. When they learned how to use the Sunlight Crystal, with the help of their own natural magic, the underground city was filled with sunlight in just a few hours.

Ryan felt that this had completely deprived the Elven King's Hall of its previous mystery, but Toryl was dismissive of the mysterious silence in Ryan's mouth.

We elves have always loved nature and sunshine. It's just that due to changes in the past, we will place the royal city underground for safety reasons. But that doesn't mean we like the dark environment. The sunshine you bring with you even makes you feel like you're back in time to that golden age when we were still living on the ground. Don't you see that more and more people are coming out now? This is already very indicative of our hobby. ”

Sure enough, as the sunlight spread further, more and more elves appeared nearby. Even Thranduil was shocked in the end. After asking what was going on, Thranduil signed a large deal with Ryan, almost emptying Ryan's reserve of magical plants. Because he found that he could use these magical plants to build a green defense line in the dark forest, so that the dark forest would become bright again.

"But, Thrandil. This forest is so big, it may take you more than 100 years to accomplish such an ambitious goal. While handing over several plant cultivation methods and seeds to Thrandil, Ryan pointed out the Elven King's biggest flaw.

"It's fine. The Elven King looked very happy. "As a future immortal, you should gradually get used to our way of life. Otherwise, you will definitely have a very sad life in the future. I feel that allowing you to do business is one of the best decisions I've made in hundreds of years, because today is the happiest day for my people in hundreds of years. ”

Looking down his fingers, every elf had a cheerful smile on their face. Many of the elves gathered outside had begun to sing, dance, and play musical instruments. At the same time, many elves rushed over with food and wine, apparently to hold a feast.

"It's been years since you've been so happy. Legolas sighed on the side. In this atmosphere, Ryan and Rose Crystal also joined the banquet.

Unlike a few hours ago, the previously stone-filled underground city is now filled with greenery that Ryan has brought from several worlds. Coupled with the sunlight crystals, the area now feels like a forest.

Greeted by the elves, Ryan and Rose Crystal enjoyed an absolutely sumptuous feast. Contrary to what was previously thought, the elves here still eat meat. However, all the food tastes a little bland, but fortunately, the cooks are very skilled (after all, the almost immortal elves have enough time to learn various skills), so that Ryan can appreciate the deliciousness of the ingredients from these dishes.

The trade went on for a week, and Ryan reaped a lot of gains. Thranduil opened all of the city's libraries to Ryan, and even allowed Ryan to go to the library's most secret chamber to see the Codex and notes that Celebrimbor had left behind when he forged the Three Elven Rings.

After recording everything he was interested in, Ryan went to the palace to bid farewell to Thrandil. In a previous chat, Ryan learned that Gandalf and Thorin Oak Shield had been seen at the Prancing Horse Inn in recent days discussing the reconquest of the Lonely Mountain. This means that there is still a year left before the opening of The Hobbit story.

Knowing the current point in time, Ryan decided to look elsewhere. Because he felt that he could take advantage of this time to do something.
