Chapter 57
Looking at the book in his hand. It's full of strange text, and it's elven text. Xu Ning leaned over and tried to translate: "Primordial ...... Bear...... Tree...... Flowering...... Elf ......"
But it's a pity that Xu Ning has only learned a little bit of elf characters, not even at the elementary level, and he is like a child who has just started to learn words in the elf, and it is very difficult to read.
"What is this written about?" Xu Ning asked suspiciously, and then looked down at the cover of the book, "This is the book you brought from there!" ”
"This is the book of the elves, telling the story of the tree of life." Eli closed his book.
"The Tree of Life? Shadow? Xu Ning snorted and leaned back on the sofa, "Until now, Dad's police station has not given an explanation as to why the black shadow snatched the seeds of the Tree of Life back then. How did they have this book? ”
"This book is just a legend of the tree of life, similar to mythological stories, and it is sold to the outside world. So it's not hard to get. Eli said, "If those guys are hiding in the danger zone, it's going to be hard to catch." The reason why they need the Tree of Life is unknown to no one except to ask themselves. It is used only as a weapon material...... There is no need for such a big battle. And the number of seeds is not enough for them to share. "There are tens of thousands of danger zones scattered around the world, from an island to a room. But the members of the Black Shadow are no more than hundreds, but they are all elites, where can they be caught.
"What is written on this book?" Xu Ning asked.
"The Origin and Legend of the Tree of Life." Eli put the book on the table and replied, "The first life in the world was plants, and the first plants were trees, and the first trees were trees of life. It is second only to this world in age. ”
Xu Ning looked at Eli with wide eyes.
"The Tree of Life is located at the very center of this world, it is rooted in the soil, and its root system can reach the very bottom of this world. It grows upwards, and its branches and leaves reach as high as the blue sky. At the top of the Tree of Life dwells the great god of our elven race, and only the purest elves of heart can see her. Beneath the Tree of Life is the burial ground of our elves, and we sleep under the roots of the tree before being reborn in the Tree of Life. The fruit of the Tree of Life is a gift from the gods to the elves, and the seeds of the tree of life are the hope that the gods give to the elves. Eli said slowly, "This is the sacred relic of our elven race, the Tree of Life. ”
"But beyond that, the seeds of the Tree of Life have other legends." Eli continued, "The seed of the tree of life is the origin of life and represents new birth. ”
Xu Ning tilted his head.
"Immortality, resurrection from the dead." Eli explained briefly.
"Huh?! Wait, is this possible? Xu Ning asked in astonishment.
"It's just a legend." Eli said, "This book is about the story of the seed resurrecting the dead spirit. Eli pointed to the book.
"Are you saying that the shadows want the seeds of the tree of life to resurrect anyone?"
"I don't know." Eli lay on her back on the couch.
The two were silent for a moment, and then Xu Ning asked, "Are you over there...... How are you doing? ”
Eli tilted his head to look at Xu Ning, with an expression of 'you finally remembered to ask', and bowed his head and said, "It's okay." Because the seeds of the Tree of Life were targeted, the young elves were not allowed to go out to school, and I spent a year in the elven territory before I could come out. ”
Xu Ning was stunned, he lowered his head and shrank his head, as if he didn't expect this to be the case at all.
He was about to say something when a girl shouted from outside the door: "Eli! Are you there! ”
It was an unfamiliar voice, and Xu Ning looked at Eli suspiciously, noticing the impatient look on his face. Eli stood up and opened the door, shouting, "Serena, what are you doing in the boys' dormitory?" ”
Serena threw herself into Eli's arms and rubbed it, and said happily, "Of course there is something." I heard that you went to the danger zone, is it true? You're so good that you're back alive with all four limbs! ”
Xu Ning looked sideways at Selina in Eli's arms, he had seen the girl before going to the island, and knew that she was Eli's cousin. But even so, seeing such a close relationship between Eli and Serena, Xu Ning still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Although he didn't know what this awkward feeling in his heart was.
"Hi, Eli." A bright-looking girl, dressed in a neat school uniform with a red armband pinned to her arm, walked over, looked Eli up and down and nodded, "That's right, compare that Elvis guy." I knew that your appearance must be higher than his. ”
Eli glanced at the girl, her face confused.
"Humph! I knew that no one would remember you except Xu Ning! The girl said, "I'm Pan Qing, and I'm a member of the junior high school disciplinary committee. A few of you have violated the school rules by trespassing into the danger zone, but since it was a mistake, the punishment for you will be reduced as appropriate, and the little red flower will not be deducted. With that, she gestured to Serena.
At this time, Xu Ning noticed that Serena was still holding a Wen Jiàn clip in her hand.
Serena immediately let go of Eli and pulled out a few pieces of paper from the bookcase in her hand and handed them to Eli.
"The punishment is that you go to the special communication department to volunteer during the winter vacation, and read the instructions for yourself in detail. Good luck! After Pan Qing finished speaking, she turned her head and left, and after only taking two steps, she turned around and shouted to the reluctant Serena, "Serena, if you want to join the student union, don't procrastinate, we must finish things before noon!" ”
Selina shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "I'm now a temporary member of the student council, and she's very strict. Before leaving, he glanced at Xu Ning curiously, then made a gesture to Eli, and quickly ran away with Selina.
"Volunteer in the Special Communications Department?" Xu Ning took out a piece of paper from Eli's hand and said, "No......"
"Is it bad?" Eli asked.
"It's pretty bad." Xu Ning said, "You know the special police station, don't you. ”
"Humans and non-humans built together to prevent cultivators and special police officers from non-human crimes, your father is the police officer there." Eli Road.
"The special communications department was established two years ago, and I don't know why the number of weird incidents has risen sharply recently, but there are not enough people to investigate, and most of them are ...... Fake case. So who needs to go and find out the situation first, this department is saving zài for this. Xu Ning's face was gloomy, "The danger is very low, but it is very troublesome." ”
"Sounds good." Eli said.
"It's not good at all...... Xu Ning's words were only halfway through when two figures came from outside the door, shouting to them from afar: "Something is wrong!" Our penalty notice is down! ”
Xiao Bai and Fang You came to Xu Ning, and Fang You grabbed Xu Ning's shoulder: "Let's transfer schools!" ”
Xu Ning: "No, this is a bit ......"
"You don't know! Our punishment ......" Before Fang You's words were finished, Xu Ning shook him with the text in his hand.
Fang You's face collapsed.
"Even if you transfer schools, you can't escape it." Xiao Bai said to Fang You, and then turned his head to look at Xu Ning, "I came to discuss with you, I have something to go abroad this winter vacation." ”
Xu Ning: Bad premonition.
"So I can only be there for the first few days of winter break at most. This punishment only limits the number of tasks that we can complete together, but there is no stipulation on who is required to complete them. Shaw paused for a moment and continued, "I'll try to make a few more pieces in the first few days, and then ...... Can I ask you? I'll bring you gifts when school starts! ”
"Nobody keeps you." Eli Road.
"Stay! I want to stay! Xu Ning said in a panic, "Going abroad during winter vacation? What are you going to do? qaq”
"My aunt got a boyfriend abroad and got married during the winter break." Xiao Bai said.
Xu Ning: "Okay...... Then there you go. ”
In that case, he would have no reason to leave people behind!
