Chapter 160 [Seed of the Forest God] 2/3
Elves, whether in Western mythology or in Eastern fantasy, are an extremely noble and elegant race, the most eye-catching is the appearance of the elf race, no matter what Western fantasy, elves are always a race born from the favor of heaven and earth, each of them is extremely beautiful and handsome.
In a very small number of cases, only the beauty of female elves is depicted, and the handsomeness of male elves is deliberately distorted.
But this is only a very small minority, anyway, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, elves are both male and female, especially the princes and princesses of the elf family, it stands to reason that they are definitely the existence of thousands of girls.
But in the plot of Hellboy 2, a pair of elf princesses and princes appear not only without exquisite appearance, but also without noble and elegant temperament, instead of pale cheeks than vampires, and long hair like ashes.
When I watched this movie for the first time, it completely subverted Chris's love for the Elf Queen and the Elf Prince when he used to watch The Lord of the Rings.
For a time, he lost all interest in the elves and movies he saw later.
If that's all there is to it, after all, everyone's setting for elves is different, plus the Hellboy movie is more Gothic, it's nothing to have this kind of strange elf, but the most unbearable thing is that the elves have been reduced to living in the sewers and living on those dirty rats and monsters.
However, these are just Chris's complaints about this movie, but now seeing the elf prince who appeared in Hellboy 2 has made him fall into deep doubts.
On the Airbus plane to London, England, Chris also knocked on the side of Hellboy, and learned from him that the other party did not have a girlfriend who could emit flames from his childhood sweetheart, let alone a fish-man friend who was knowledgeable and could read telepathically.
At that time, Chris decided that the world he came to should be the world of Hellboy comics, after all, the Baron's appearance is completely different from that in the movie, and at the same time he has no ability to release flames, his girlfriend, and the fishman friend.
But this time, in this monster alley, he saw an elven prince who looked like a vampire appeared in Hell Baron 2, which made Chris puzzled.
Is it the world of movies or the world of comics?
Alice shouted at Chris several times, but she didn't see any reaction, and when she looked at him, she saw a white-haired man with a pale face like death, pulling the corner of Chris's clothes and asking, "What's wrong with you?" Who is that man? ”
"It's nothing, let's go back." Chris glanced at Alice, thinking that now was not the time to go to the elf prince, leaving a trace of spiritual power quietly covering the elf prince's body, so he said to Alice: "I don't know where the major and the baron ran, let's go back to the garbage truck and wait for them first." ”
Alice thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay, let's go back early, don't wait for the major to bring that stupid guy back and can't find us, it's too bad, the streets in Monster Alley are complicated, and ordinary people really don't know how to get out after they come in." ”
Alice is still a little girl after all, although the number of missions is not small, but basically what she does is to assist in finishing the work, so she doesn't know what to do, and when she saw Chris propose to go back and wait for the major first, she also agreed.
When Alice led Chris back and left here, the elven prince suddenly noticed something, looked around, saw that there was no situation, and smiled self-deprecatingly, retracted his vision, and continued to communicate with the vendors in the tent how to buy this mysterious object cheaply, since the humiliating choice of the elves hundreds of years ago to surrender and peace, he, the prince of the elven country, has lost his former chic and magnanimity.
Inside the tent, a monster that looked like a rat scratched his long white beard with two front paws and said: "Sir, this is the only seed of the tree of life that I finally took from the war of the old century, although it is dead, but it still has a high collection value, everyone knows that the elves have perished, and the tree of life, the god of the forest, the patron saint of the elves has also died, this is its last seed and bloodline, I have collected it for more than three hundred years, if it weren't for the bad conditions at home recently, I wouldn't have chosen to sell it, so it's worth 1000 mana. ”
When the elven prince heard the words of the rat, his eyes darkened, and he silently recited in his heart, "The elven race has not perished", but so what, now all races know that the elf race has been almost completely hidden since the war hundreds of years ago and the humiliating peace agreement was signed, which seems to be no different from the extermination of the race.
"A thousand magic coins is a thousand magic coins." Thinking of this, the elven prince glanced at the pale seed of the tree of life that was the same color as his skin in the hand of the shrub, took off the sachet hanging from his waist, and threw it directly to the grub in front of him, and said: "There should be almost a thousand magic coins here, if you can, just trade it directly." ”
The rat took the sachet, opened it and saw that it was indeed full of magic coins, weighed the weight, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Then the seed of this tree of life will be traded to you, please sign a contract." ”
After speaking, the rat took out a magic scroll, which is a contract specially used for trading in Monster Alley, similar to the contract of human beings, but the person who binds both sides is not a judge or a law, but the owner of Monster Alley, the descendant of Merlin who has lived for eight hundred years!
The elf prince didn't think so, and directly took the magic contract scroll, opened it and signed his name on it, and suddenly the magic scroll emitted a wonderful aura, and soon after the aperture ended, the scroll was automatically burned, and the transaction was officially completed.
After getting the seeds of the Tree of Life, the elven prince glanced at the rest of the ruffler stall owner's collection with some greed, but he thought that he was shy in his pocket, so he had to leave here in disdain.
...
The dark night and the fierce cold wind howling, in this winter, add a bit of gloom.
When a ray of moonlight shone on the snow-covered roof, the elven prince stood on the roof, scanning the endless stream of people and vehicles below, and the black smoke emitted made his brow furrow.
"Who!" Suddenly, the elven prince turned his head suddenly, and suddenly saw a tall man standing three meters behind him, asking vigilantly, "Who are you!" ”
