Chapter 55: The Tree of the Gods

At that time, the second child of Lingyu's parents had already been born, a three-year-old boy, who was also a boy, sitting in front of the window, with a faint magic gathering between his hands, making a plant in the pot bloom again and again. This is the innate ability of the Light Elves.

Looking out the window, at the foot of the hill, you could see a barren swamp on the other side of the river where the dark elves lived, where the land was gray, barren and withered trees, sickly crooked, curled up and ugly. Only in the middle of the swamp, a towering green tree stands abruptly out of harmony with the surrounding landscape, guarding the Dark Elf village below.

The white scorpion said seductively:

"I'm a doctor at the institute, I heard that there are infected patients in your family, can you let me bring them back to the institute for treatment?"

The mother's expression was gloomy, and she did not hold out hope, and sighed and said, "I have sent it to the dark elf village on the other side of the river." "Just close the door.

The white scorpion stopped her and said, "Can you follow me to the Dark Elf Village to find someone?" Of course, all the treatment costs will be borne by this institute, and Madame doesn't have to worry. ”

At this time, Xiaoyu was already 7 years old, and he was more intelligent than children of the same age, and he could read many words at a very young age, and it was easier for him to comprehend magic. At this time, he was looking through the ancient books on the shelves in Ling Xi's study, he stood on the high wooden ladder, tried to stand on tiptoe to take down a book covered with thick dust, and blew on the paper, the dust flew in the air, he was choked and coughed a few times, and the tip of his nose was covered with dust.

Go back under the ladder and sit down at your desk and flip it over. He was fascinated by the many beautiful illustrations drawn in the book, and although he couldn't read the ancient Elf text on them, he still read them with relish. Ling Xi was walking in from outside.

"Master, Master, what kind of story is written on this, tell me about it!"

Ling Xi walked over to the table and sat down and looked at the cover of his book.

"This is a history book, not a story book. ”

"Tell me about it, too! It's full of ancient characters, I can't read it, but I like the illustrated stories!"

Ling Xi smiled softly, since there was Xiaoyu, a smile began to appear on his originally cold face. He looked at an illustration that Xiaoyu had shown him. Above is a towering giant tree with lush foliage, and below is a rich and peaceful dark elf village, where a white-winged god is holding the hand of a dark elf girl.

He picked Xiaoyu up, put it on his lap, hugged him gently, and told him the story in the book......

"Once upon a time, there was a kind and beautiful dark elf girl, and one day, she met a god in the forest......"

"Celestial Gods, are there really Celestial Gods?" Xiaoyu opened her eyes wide, her face surprised and delighted.

"Of course, 5,000 years ago, there were gods. The god asked her, "Where are you from, what is your name?" The dark elf girl replied, I don't have a name, I wander around. “

Ling Xi gently flipped the book backwards.

The god asked her again, why don't you dark elves gather together to live together, just like the villages of other races? The dark elf girl shook her head, we dark elves also want to gather and live together, like the villages of other races. However, every time we live together, the surrounding vegetation begins to wither, and even the most beautiful forest becomes barren. ”

When Xiaoyu saw the illustrations on the page, it seemed to move, and the beautiful forests gradually became withered and became misty swamps, and he didn't feel sorry for them.

So the gods took her by the hand and took her somewhere deep in the forest. Ling Xi continued, "He cast his magic and grew a towering giant tree in front of him. The tree, with its leafy foliage and widespread root system, was taller than any tree in the forest. ”

Xiaoyu couldn't wait to turn the book back a page and point to the illustration with the giant tree.

"I know, I know, it's this tree!"

"Yes. Ling Xi touched his head lovingly, "The god said to her, from now on, under the protection of this tree, the children and grandchildren of your dark elf clan can live happily ever after. Sure enough, the Dark Elf Girls established the first Dark Elf village here, and the surrounding grass never withered or trees withered again, and they lived happily here for generations......

Ling Xi suddenly closed the book. "Alright, that's all for today, it's time for you to practice magic. I'm almost old enough to start elementary magic school, and I'll go out into the forest to find some materials for you to make your staff. ”

"Master," Xiaoyu said, "is that big tree that the gods have transformed into the same big tree in the center of our village now?"

In the window behind Xiaoyu, a grove of trees and jagged houses framed like a picture frame, and in the distance, a towering tree, towering in the blue sky, its dense canopy hanging down, like a mother's arm, guarding the village.

Ling Xi thought for a moment, "The tree in the center of our village can be said to be the descendant of the tree left by the Heavenly God, and it is the will of the Heavenly God. He stroked Xiaoyu's head, "Don't worry, as long as there is a place where I am, there will be a home for the dark elves." ”

With that, he got up, put the book back on top of the shelf, and went out.

Xiaoyu still couldn't resist his curiosity, and after Ling Xi left, he climbed the ladder again, and it took a lot of effort to take the book down.

He sat down on the table, re-flipped to the chapter, stroked the giant tree on the illustration, and flipped backwards. The later chapters are incomplete due to time, and the giant tree on the illustration is also caught in a sea of fire.

Xiaoyu pointed to the difficult ancient characters on the book with her fingers, and laboriously read out the phrases one by one:

"Enemy...... Burn down the village, with ...... Thunder and lightning split the giant tree...... With frost, the fields were frozen...... Kill your clansmen with light arrows......"

When Xiaoyu read this, he couldn't help but be horrified, he saw the giant trees floating on the illustration, crackling in the burning sea of fire, and heard the wails of people running away and the screams of being slaughtered......

He slammed the book shut.

Suddenly, in the silence, there was a noise outside the window. People ran past his window and hurried towards the entrance of the village. Xiaoyu also hurried out and quietly followed behind the clansmen.

"Hand over the infected elves!"

The white scorpion shouted at the entrance of the village, a woman huddled beside him, and behind him stood a line of research institute personnel wearing gas masks and carrying poison gas behind them.

"Why leave it to you!" the Dark Elf villagers were indignant, and they took their farm tools to block the road at the entrance of the village, preventing these uninvited guests from taking a step forward.

"The child's mother wants someone, and you dare not give it? He was originally from the Light Elf Clan, not yours, and now I am here to ask for someone on behalf of the Light Elf Clan, of course, hand it over quickly!"
