It was a warm forest.

The trees are not as old and huge as the vicissitudes of life in the Forest of Tagore, nor as dreamy as the Light Trees in the Elven Country, but are very ordinary groups of trees, revealing a kind of ordinary tranquility.

As a result, the sunlight was finally able to break through the trees and fall from the sky, like beams of light, hitting the forest.

Although the elves are flying here, they are not as excited and excited as when they are outside, as if they are enjoying the peace of the forest, slowly drifting back and forth.

In the middle of this scene, a temple sits, imprinted on everyone's eyes.

"This is the temple of the goddess of nature?"

Sheehan glanced at the temple.

At first, Sheen thought he was not looking at a temple, but a ruin.

Because it has no golden appearance, nor is it overly ornamented, but like a relic, it only has a very old earth and stone façade and a majestic and huge stone door.

On the exterior wall and stone gate, there are still many roots and vines entangled.

In addition to the roots and vines, the temple's earth-stone exterior walls and stone doors are carved with only a few mystical patterns.

Sheen glanced at those patterns and found that they seemed to depict some elven history.

For example, there are elves who resemble queens sitting on thrones and receiving bows from many elves.

For example, there is a goddess descending from the sky, and the following is the scene of the elves worshipping.

For another example, there are goblins that slowly grow up in the process of flying, and finally become a similar evolutionary journey map of elves.

Such a temple, it seems, does look like a ruin.

There is even a plaza around the ruins.

At this point, Sheehan and his party came to the square, facing the gate of the temple.

“......”

Sophie, Leia, Nia, and Merika were all silent.

They seemed to be praying, and with a reverent expression, they bowed in the direction of the temple.

As the only human race present who was not an elf, Sheen couldn't help but touch his nose when he watched this scene.

He didn't bow down in the direction of the temple, as Sophie did.

He doesn't have the same fear of God and so much faith in God as the people of this world.

Coupled with the fact that he had never seen the goddess of nature, he had only heard rumors of the goddess of nature, and had received two revelations from the goddess of nature, so it was naturally impossible for Sheen to bow down.

Sophie and the others did not ask Sheen to do such a thing, and only stood up after kneeling and praying on their own.

"The temple of the elves is different from the rest of the human race."

Sophie suddenly spoke.

"We prefer nature to extravagant appearances and glittering decorations."

In such a situation, the temple of the elves will not pay as much attention to the façade as the temple outside, but more to the changes of nature.

That's why the temple of the goddess of nature is like this, like an ancient ruin.

"This temple has a history of at least tens of thousands of years, and it was built by the first elves who were born together, and it has been used until now."

Telling this history, Sophie's tone also faintly revealed a little pride.

"Because it has never been rebuilt and has retained its original appearance, this temple is known as the oldest and oldest temple in the human world."

Now, Sheehan sees the oldest temple in the world, the oldest building in the world.

"The number of times this temple has been used is also quite limited, and only when a new elf is born in the elves, that elf will be brought here for the blessing of the goddess of the gods."

The birth of the elves takes a long time, so the temple is usually closed, sometimes used once in decades, sometimes once in hundreds of years, and sometimes even once in a thousand years.

It can be seen from this that this temple has been used here.

"No wonder it looks like it's been abandoned for a long time." Sheen suddenly asked suspiciously, "However, isn't there a clergyman here to repair and maintain it?" ”

"Nope." Sophie said very naturally: "We elves are not like humans, there will be special priests working in the temple, and we are not like orcs, there are saints and priests who perform the duties of the gods on our behalf, because we are isolated from the world and rarely have the opportunity to use the temple. ”

In this way, there is no need to leave some people here at all.

"Normally, once you need to use this temple, it will be handled by the people of the Elven Division, and it is usually the Elven Division who is responsible for repairing and maintaining this place, and they will come here every ten years or so."

Sophie's description made Sheen fully understand that the concepts of elves and humans are indeed different.

For elves, repairing and maintaining once every ten years is roughly equivalent to a human doing such an activity every few months, right?

Considering that the number of times you can use it is really limited, it is not too long to repair and maintain it once in a few months.

"Of course, those elves who have fallen in love will also choose to come here and spend the rest of their lives with the goddess of nature." Sophie seemed to point out something, and said, "If it were them, they would usually live in the temple and have always lived here, and the situation is equivalent to that of a human monk." ”

Hearing this, Sheen smacked his lips a little.

Doesn't that mean that every elf who falls in love will eventually choose to become a monk when he eventually returns to the land of elves?

Good guys, I'm just good guys.

What kind of fairy race is this elf race? Is it so loyal?

Thinking of this, Sheen remembered what Merika had said before.

This little girl seems to have said that she wants to follow her side silently, and then return to the land of elves in the future, like those elves who have fallen in love, and spend the rest of her life plainly, right?

In other words, this girl also wants to become a monk?

Sheen couldn't help but turn her head and stare at Merika, staring at her.

Merica saw it.

And, there was some embarrassment, and some of them looked away from each other.

Boy...

"I say, Merica." Sheehan smiled brightly, "Don't you do that?" ”

That's not persuasion, it's admonishment.

Sheehan's smile told Merika that if she dared to do so, he would tear down the temple.

"No... I'm not going to do that..."

Merika whispered in response, a little flustered, and a little nervous.

Before the change, Merika had such thoughts.

But now, Merica doesn't dare to think so.

Her love affair, accompanied by Sheen's incarnation of an animal, can no longer be as plain and sad as the elven predecessors of the past race.

Although, Merica doesn't know if this is a good thing.

After all, Sheen is a human and she is an elf, and the racial lifespan gap between the two is still there.

In the end, Merika could watch Sheen grow old and then die.

In that case, maybe it's even more miserable than those elven predecessors, right?

But since Sheehan has said that he will find a way to solve all this, Merica can only trust him.

No matter what, Sheen is a brave man, and he is still a brave man who has never befriended the dragon and demon, obtained the protection of the Protoss, and has a network of contacts and relationships that no one before him.

Such Sheen, maybe there is really some way to solve his own lifespan, that may not be said.

Merika could only look forward to it.

"That's good."

Sheehan nodded in satisfaction.

Sophie has it all in her eyes.

(These two people really have a problem.) ）

The elven queen made her own judgment and was faintly worried.

That's a natural concern.

Elves' romances have not ended well, but Merica seems to have embarked on a road of no return, and it is impossible for Sophie not to feel worried.

Especially now, there seems to be something wrong with Merica's body, causing her magic power to skyrocket to the point where she can be compared to herself, which makes Sophie attach great importance to Merica, and she will naturally be worried about it.

(Let's go back and talk to Merika.) ）

Sophie made such a decision, adjusted her mood, and continued to tell Sheehan.

"The goddess of nature has sent down an oracle saying that she wants to receive Poztut and Merika in the temple." Sophie looked at the two of them and said, "How?" Do you want to go in now? ”

Sheehan and Merika suddenly looked at each other.

Merika's face was full of nervousness, and her hand holding the staff began to tremble.

Even now, Merica is still suspicious.

"Like... Would someone like me really be summoned by the goddess of nature? ”

Merika's apprehension and uneasiness have reached the highest point in history.

"You..."Sheen could only smile and said, "It's just to meet, and it's not for you to fight with the goddess of nature, relax." ”

"Don't... Don't say it so scary! Merika was frightened by Sheehan.

Sheen didn't think so, and directly took Merika's hand and looked at Sophie.

"Can we go in now?"

Sheehan asked Sophie.

"Yes." Sophie nodded and said, "Now, the people in the temple have all withdrawn, and you can enter at any time." ”

"Okay." Sheen didn't hesitate and said directly: "Then let's go in now." ”

Sophie smiled and immediately took Leia and Nia and stepped aside.

"Let's go, Merica."

Sheehan squeezed Merika's hand tightly.

“...... Well! ”

Merika took a few deep breaths, then nodded heavily.

So, Sheen and Merika held hands with each other and walked to the temple together.

"Boom..."

The door of the temple suddenly opened automatically, setting off a heavy sound.

Sheen and Merika walked in slowly.

Sophie and the others watched the backs of the two and did not leave for a long time.
