A moment of coldness.

The mage's self-introduction is undoubtedly extremely impactful to others, and such an introduction that basically does not express any valuable information is tantamount to a naked slap in the face. However, to everyone's surprise, Niya, who should have cared the most, did not have a seizure, just looked at her deeply, and then said, "Next." ”

The voice is smooth and powerful, without the slightest emotion.

"Huh?" The rhythm of the young elf beside Monia was completely disrupted by the mage at this time, and she didn't react at all. In addition, being watched by the future boss, it is inevitable that he will be a little weak-hearted, speechless, and the embarrassment of his performance is the same as that of Esvetta at the beginning.

"Enough, with your mental state, how can you go to the battlefield." In a stern tone, Nya admonished, "Hold up your chest, soldier! You are a warrior, don't let the words of others shake your will, and don't feel your head down because of the gaze of others - lift up and look at me - say your name! ”

This event was nothing more than a small episode, and soon everyone's presentation was completed. The captain of the Eugtrasil Guard, dressed as a female swordsman, did not procrastinate, but said directly: "Very good, I have already got a preliminary understanding of you - to be honest, it is not a good impression, so I don't know - but you are still young, and there is still a chance to sharpen, I hope you can improve in the Eugtrasil Guard." Alright, without further ado, come with me and I'll take you to the Guard's station, a place you would never expect. ”

She pushed open the door and walked straight out, only then did the tension in the room loosen.

"Really, Monia, you just scared me." After the three still strange elves left, Esveta timidly spoke, "Do you know who that was just now?" It was one of the five giants of the military department, and the legendary ordinary high-ranking warriors could not catch her sword dancer Niya, who was a sword dancer with three or five swords, even in the human world, she also made a name for herself, and it was even rumored that her sword blade was stained with the blood of a high-level mage. ”

"Really?" Monia was noncommittal, "So what. ”

You can guess a person's personality by looking at the way a person speaks and does things, and for this captain of the guard, who doesn't seem to be simple, in terms of personality, he actually has a lot of appetite for Monia. But she seems to have subtle dissatisfaction with the Mage Association, and the two sides have contradictory positions, and it is inevitable that there will be some confrontation.

Monia is a member of the Mage Guild, and the Mage Guild is the most powerful force in the Elven Forest.

She is also a person with a backstage, as a person recommended by the Mage Association, their words and deeds outside represent the Mage Association, she can't turn a blind eye to the contempt in the other party's words, she must fight back - that attitude of not being humble or arrogant and uncooperative is exactly the way she chooses to fight back.

It's not powerful, but it shows the attitude that we're not vegetarians.

"By the way, Esvetta, there is a conflict between the Mage Guild and the Warlords?" Recalling that the Captain of the Eugtrasil Guard had targeted both of them and mentioned the existence of the Mage Guild intentionally or unintentionally, Monia couldn't help but frown - although she had heard Lavana talk about the situation in the Elven Forest and had some understanding during this time, there were still many unclear places that were new to the city.

"This ...... I think there is. "Esveta is an "otaku", but she has lived in the Elven Forest for more than a hundred years, and she has heard of these things," seems to be a debate about the autonomy of mages, and the military department believes that mages should be subordinate to the military department and serve the army - at least during the return of the elves, mages should be subordinate to the military department along with those who participate in the war service, and thoroughly cleanse their bookish energy. ”

"That's true," Monia said, "except that I still prefer the way it is." ”

"Me too."

That's it, and now is not a good time to gossip. They trotted to keep up with Captain Nya, and then followed her into the mage's tower—and sure enough, the Half-Plane Gate was under the seat of the Elven Archmage, and it was the most foolproof place in every sense of the word.

After entering the Mage's Tower, turning around and passing several certifications, you entered a unpretentious room - where there was a pitch-black door inlaid with countless heraldic runes - no doubt the half-dimensional door to the residence of the Guardians of the Eugtrasil.

"Let's go inside." She said, then pushed the door open.

The world was turned upside down in an instant.

"This is a half-plane?" Unlike the others, Monia has always remained awake, and the transformation of space has no special feeling for her, "It's really a different half-plane, not significantly different from Aarens—it's because the World Tree seedlings are rooted here...... Or ......"

Mages are no strangers to half-planes, whether it is in the game of her previous life or in the trial space of Hormones, she has seen this kind of spatial wonder that is rare for ordinary mages in their lifetime - in fact, she doesn't feel so new when she sees too much, isn't it a miniature plane opened up by legendary mages according to the rules of the Aarensian world? Compared to how empty and simple this colorful world is, there are some half-planes that even have only one color, or even only a few square meters in size, and even have no sense of space up and down, left and right.

Of course, such a rudimentary half-plane is relatively only a minority, and most of the half-planes still have a basic prototype after all, but that's all, and there is no comparison with the real world at all. However, the one she was in now didn't seem to be that thing, the real one felt unreal, even the breath of the ether could be clearly felt, it was like a small piece of shard peeling off from the world of Aarons, there was no difference.

"It's really a very rare quality," Nya's voice came from behind him, the captain of the Yuktrasil guard woke up only a little later than the mage, as an existence that almost stood at the top of the warrior, his understanding and adaptation to space was not weaker than that of a high-level mage, "I really didn't expect you to wake up so quickly, it seems that you have to react to Lord Moya, and the first line of defense must add a little more material." ”

"The first line of defense?" Monia was a little curious.

"It's also a final preparation, if the Elven Forest is lost, relying on the stun during teleportation can give us plenty of time to transfer the seedlings of the World Tree." Niya explained, "Actually, Lord Moya originally had a very important setting, which was to isolate the flow of aether in order to achieve the purpose of prohibiting spells. However, it is a pity that the existence of the World Tree seedlings makes the existence of this space constantly move closer to the world we live in, and this setting naturally ends without a problem. ”

Set...... Could it be that this half-plane was opened up by an elven archmage? She had never heard of an archmage who could open up a stable world that had taken shape...... Could it be that this is also due to the World Tree...... Monia looked puzzled.

This puzzled expression naturally fell into the eyes of the captain of the Guardian of Yggdrasil, but she didn't want to explain, she just stood quietly in place, and waited until everyone was sober before she spoke: "Welcome to the World Tree Garden, this is the station of the Guards, and it is also the garden of the World Tree Seedlings, and our duty is to defend the World Tree Seedlings from invaders at all costs, and to defend the hope of the elves' revival." ”

"As you can see," she continued, her words sonorous and with a kind of boldness that touches people's hearts, "this is not the continent of Aarons, but a half-plane opened up by Lord Moya, and you will be on a monthly rotation here in the future—don't think that this month is easy, there is no sun, no moon, it is always the same monotony, and there are even some newcomers like you who have some nervous disorders in less than half a month—so you must be mentally prepared, although this is not a battle, Sometimes it is more brutal than fighting, and man's greatest enemy is always himself. ”

"One last question," she paused for a moment, before asking in an unusually stern tone, "does anyone want to quit?" It's still too late - the spell to clear short-term memories isn't hard to master. ”

Silent.

Then the elf girl slowly raised her hand and said in a timid voice, "I ......"

Monia hung her head, indicating that she didn't know the guy next to her.

"Rejected." Without blinking her eyes, the female swordsman categorically vetoed, "The operation of the World Tree Courtyard is inseparable from the mage"

Esvita's death was just an inconsequential episode, the rhythm of the conversation had been firmly controlled by Nya, and the others couldn't find room to interject under her aura, and only after some precautions had been explained were almost explained did she slow down her tone and make the final arrangements.

"The patrol work of the World Tree is a team of two - originally the mage needs to be independent to check whether the spatial structure of the courtyard is stable and maintain the effective operation of each enchantment, but this time the recommendation is half a month earlier than in the past, so the mage also needs to join the patrol team for the time being." Captain Utdrasil added, "As for the team's work, everything is voluntary, and you will organize it yourself—of course, as is customary, you still have to go to the station first to have your mind spells tested. ”

After a slight pause, she looked around and asked, "Do you guys still have questions?" ”

She was met with iron-clad silence.

PS: Actually, I want to write three chapters, but my physical condition is not good - to be honest I really don't know what's going on, I have to have a routine cold for about half an hour every day after getting up, and then the symptoms are very mild, but my mental state has been bad - is it a cold? I'm dressed very tightly, and the bed is also a winter configuration - a little dry and itchy throat, is it an inflammation of the tonsils? I took the thermometer again, and there was no problem at all, and I didn't estimate that I would really have to go to the hospital in a few days.

Ps2: This week I made up for the little circle.,Why do I feel so healed?,The mid-term plot is really dark.,But isn't the ending a reunion? Although it is quite touching, everyone needs to be responsible for their own choices, even Xiao Yan, waiting for her to finally come, will meet Xiao Yuan again.

Ps3: Both chapters feel a bit cluttered, but the foreshadowing is almost over, and the last plot of this volume is about to come to an end.
