Five years later, the Western Continent

It seems to be covered in greenery forever, and even above the mountains, hardy plants grow below the snow line.

In the cave below the mountain, truckloads of ore are transported to the surface, where they are pulled by vines and sent to the workshop, where they are melted and refined.

The elves use their own special process to process, forge, and forge arrows and swords into shape.

It was a hot place, and the elves with peerless looks were choking and coughing in the mud fire, and their skin was dry.

Time is slow for them, and the strife of the last era almost wiped out their race, but the Western Continent is like an isolated island with no quarrel with the world, and their long life span has too many advantages over the races of the North and South Continents.

When the evening came, the last batch of finished products was delivered to the wagon, and the elves finally ushered in their rest.

On the way to the cafeteria, Dinah was one of them.

She is still a child at the age of ninety-six, but there is no age limit for war.

She has been working here for four years, complaining about this boring life, repeating the same movements and walking the same path every day, and she has not been to the forest for a long time.

The old elf on the side sighed when he saw her, patted her shoulder with a smile, and comforted:

"It's okay, Dinah, the House of Elders has a rule that you can get half a year off after working for five years, or you can also use your free time to learn elven magic and pass the exam to enter the Goddess Legion. ”

The Legion of Nature, the only legion of the elves that uses divine magic to fight, is a gift from the goddess of nature, is the guardian of the gods, and being able to enter there is the glory of all elves.

The longing on her face didn't last long, and Dinah frowned again: "No, I don't study, and when I learn, I'm going to go to war, and I'm not going." ”

The old elf smiled and nodded, very relieved, but at the same time he was also helpless in his heart, under the wash of time, any idea could be changed.

"Dinah, look. The old elf pointed to a statue not far away, "Do you know who he is?"

"I know that the hero of the elven race, who entered the battlefield at the age of forty-five and died at the age of seven hundred and thirty-six, is a legend, and even the dark elves have no complaints against him. ”

"Yes, he is a legend, but when he was as old as you, he also hated wars and battlefields, but the contradictions between the two races have been going on for a long time, and the more they fight, the deeper they go, sometimes people are always involuntarily. ”

The old elf sighed and left, and Dinah froze in place, a little confused, until her hungry stomach woke her up and rushed to the cafeteria.

After dinner, the old elf went back to rest, but an elf under the age of two hundred like Dinah still needed to go to the ambulance next door for two hours of internship.

It is said to be an ambulance, but it is actually a sanatorium behind the Wood Elves, and those elves who have been seriously injured on the battlefield and have been mutilated will be sent here, and then under the treatment of divine arts, they will recover their health and injuries and continue to set foot on the battlefield.

The elves have a very strong physique, and their resilience is even more amazing, with the help of divine arts, this war has been fought for so many years, as long as they don't die on the spot, they can basically return to normal.

Some of the fighters even came to the ambulance several times, and Dinah once saw one, and the soldier said that his limbs were no longer the same, which showed what he had experienced.

And the Elder's House stipulates that elves under the age of 200 need to intern in the ambulance center, which can better reflect how far this war has come.

......

There is no longer any way to verify the contradiction between the wood elves and the dark elves, and the current situation is that both sides believe that they are the orthodox elves, and the other is nothing more than a variant of the tree of life when the goddess of nature is sleeping.

Today, the vicinity of the Tree of Life is still at the forefront of the battle line, and the two clans are fighting for control of the Mother Tree.

It has been a long time since the mother tree gave birth to new life, and the population source of the wood elves and dark elves, in addition to natural production, is that they each re-cultivated a tree of life on the root system of the mother tree that belongs to their own side.

These two new trees of life are far less luxuriant than the mother tree, but they are born much faster.

The only drawback is that the lifespan of the new generation of elves is only about five hundred years, which is far less than the thousand years of the ancient elves.

Late at night, a tired Dinah walked out of the emergency shelter, looked at the moon in the sky and sighed.

Maybe the old elf is right, some things are numb when they look at it, such as the stump and broken arm in the ambulance, such as the soldier who was burned all over his body and almost lost his life.

Dinah actually wanted to visit the Mother Tree, because I heard that a long time ago, both Dark Elves and Wood Elves were born on the Mother Tree, but it was a battlefield, not a place to play at all.

A dark cloud drifted in the distance, blocking the moonlight, and Dinah shook her head to return to the treehouse to rest.

Thick vines surrounded the giant tree, and she had just stepped on it when she caught a glimpse of a flash of light in the forest not far away.

The light flickered, but it was extremely dazzling, and it was not at all the light that plants could emit.

Dinah, who was distressed and not sleepy, hesitated for a moment, turned and walked down the vine, and ran in that direction.

Elves rarely use oil lamps outdoors, and although there are many antiquities left behind from the last era, as well as glass balls that are said to glow, no one can use them for a long time, so they can only pile up dust in warehouses, and elven scholars have no heart to study those things.

Peeling through the grass, the special plants in the woods have fruits that can shine at night, and the blue light is enough to illuminate the path.

Dinah looked left and right, wondering, and then, not far ahead, another bright light flickered, her eyes widened, and she continued to run forward.

In this familiar wood, there was a bright light, as if it was guiding Dinah somewhere.

Ten minutes later, Dinah came to a clearing, and in front of her, a giant tree that could only be hugged by a dozen people was emitting a hazy light.

Slender vines hung from the branches, like lightning fluttering in the wind.

Dinah was stunned for a moment, she didn't remember that there was such a tree nearby, and at that moment, a figure came out from behind the tree.

Cassia was dressed in a white robe, with her long silver hair tied behind her head, and beckoned to the stunned Dinah.

"You...... Are you an elf too?"

“...... Sort of, you've heard of other races?"

"The teacher said that beyond the ocean, there is a big world, but we can't get out, and the violent waves block it. ”

Cassia patted her on the top of her head, "Soon, soon you will be able to meet the others." ”

Dinah looked at the man suspiciously, feeling a warm sense of closeness, and before she could figure it out, Cassia withdrew her palm and walked deeper into the woods.

"Find a way to end the war, there are greater dangers waiting for you in the future, by the way, you can try to learn a little magic, it's not that difficult. ”

......

Early the next morning, a dazed Dinah rushes to the work area to prepare for the boredom of a new day, when the leader of the group tells everyone to take up arms and rush to the coast.

For some reason, Dinah thought it was another improvised exercise, which was too routine for their lives.

But when she and all the elves rushed to the shore, everyone was silent for a while.

Even if you don't use a telescope, you can see a large ship approaching this direction in the distant wind.

All the elves are soldiers, they haven't explored the ocean for a long time, and it's not an elven ship.
