Chapter 76: Anaheim, the Elven King

The Anaheim Tree Sea is considered to be the largest forest in the West, located on the southeastern edge of the Thousand Ring Mountains and north of the Naki Plain. When people think of the Anaheim Tree Sea, the Elven Kingdom and the World Tree are always the first thing that comes to mind. All kinds of legends are constantly told from the bards, but in reality, few people actually enter the elven kingdom.

After all, it's no secret that humans aren't welcome in Anaheim. Most adventurers who want to find the elven kingdom will get lost in the sea of trees in Anaheim, including those mercenary groups who want to capture elves by chance. The intricate sea of trees is a natural barrier to the Elven Kingdom, and even if you can see the iconic World Tree, you can't reach it anyway.

That's right, the World Tree can be clearly seen from afar on the mountains of the Thousand Ring Mountains, and even the well-informed Lawson was amazed when he saw it, it was really spectacular. Who can imagine what it feels like to have a big tree soaring into the sky?

"it," Fingal said in classic Internet parlance, "these trees are much taller than the Red Moon Forest!" You can't see the edge at a glance. ”

Rosen looked at the top of the World Tree hidden in the clouds and sighed, "Is this a miracle? ”

Legend has it that the Anaheim World Tree is a seed planted by the ancient gods that gave birth to the green earth, and according to legend, all the plants in the Azure Continent were born from the World Tree.

"Of course, the World Tree is one of the recognized miracles of the Azure Continent, and below that is our elven kingdom Anaheim!" Selena pointed to the bottom of the World Tree and introduced with some pride, "If you want to get to Anaheim, you must not only know the route, but also get the approval of the World Tree, otherwise you will have to go around Anaheim." But with me with you, it's impossible to get lost. ”

Selena was still angry that Lawson secretly left at night, but when she heard that Lawson went to mine, harvested a large amount of magic iron ore and was willing to sell it to the elves at a low price, that anger disappeared.

The simple reason is that Anaheim has little minerals. Magical iron ore has good resistance to magic and is much lighter than ordinary iron ore, and most importantly, it can be enchanted stably, making it a good material for crafting equipment.

Compared to rare materials such as meteorite, adamantite, and mythril, demonic iron ore is not so rare, and basically the elite troops of many human countries can equip equipment made of demonic iron ore. But the problem is that the elves don't have it! The elven army can't even popularize the most ordinary iron equipment, which greatly reduces their combat effectiveness, although the elves never take the initiative to provoke wars, but they can't be defenseless, especially the dark elves have been moving frequently recently, maybe it won't be long before there will be a war.

As the princess of the elven clan, she naturally knows the fact that her troops are not well equipped, and it is definitely good news that she can win so much magic iron ore, and Selena feels that her mother will also praise her, so she naturally feels better.

Looking at the bouncing elf princess, Rosen felt that something was wrong with the sentence just now, it seemed a bit like FLGA......

Hagrid nodded noncommittally: "I see, no wonder I have never heard of an adventurer arriving in Anaheim, it seems that not only because Anaheim itself is a huge labyrinth, it turns out that the entrant also needs the approval of the World Tree." ”

Yuffie glanced at Selena, who was a little proud, and then snorted disdainfully.

Standing high on the mountain, at a glance there are dense tree tops that cannot be seen, these big trees flutter in the wind, flooding with green waves, aside from other references in the line of sight, it really seems to be a green ocean, you will feel that you are moving in the waves, the sea of trees lives up to its name.

As it got closer to the sea of trees, the World Tree became more and more spectacular, it looked like a mountain peak reaching into the sky, and its unimaginably thick branches spread out in all directions, compared to the big trees that were more than ten meters tall and dozens of meters tall next to it, they were too small, like weeds.

When everyone entered the sea of trees, they immediately felt the freshness of the air, and the air seemed to contain a comfortable breath, and the breathing was much smoother. Some zero-rank demonic beasts shuttled through the woods, seemingly completely unafraid of these intruders, and even crossed around everyone.

A two-tailed elk ran around Selena and rubbed her face affectionately against Selena's body.

This is the characteristic of the elves, they are the darlings of nature, they do not like to kill, they protect animals, they are accepted by animals.

Selena snorted, startling the two-tailed elk and running away.

"I forgot about Do'er!"

As she spoke, Selena began to cast a spell, and a mini-summoning circle appeared, and the contract fairy Do'er flew out of it.

"Linlinlin, I'm about to suffocate Duo'er! Hey, it's Anaheim, or is the air here comfortable! "The leprechauns are around

Selena flew around and stopped over her shoulder, then greedily breathed in the fresh air.

Selena smiled at Rosen and said, "Doll doesn't like the outside world. ”

Rosen nodded noncommittally, he couldn't help but quietly reach out and want to touch this little cute thing, especially interested in the two pairs of transparent wings, wanting to study whether it was different from a dragonfly. Unexpectedly, Do'er reacted very quickly, turned around in the air, hugged Lawson's fingers, and opened his mouth to go down.

"Ahh Rosen retracted his hand in pain.

"Don't mess around, they're friends with the elves." Selena said with a smile.

Duo'er flapped her wings and flew up to Rosen's face, looked at it carefully a few times, and then said, "Is that like that, Linlin, but he's too ugly." ”

"......" was despised by such a little guy.

Duo'er snorted in disdain, then swayed and flew out, disappearing from everyone's sight. This little goblin grew up in the sea of trees, this is her home, and Selena is not worried about her safety, nodding apologetically to Lawson and continuing to lead the way.

Lawson and his family shuttled through the sea of trees, appreciating the pure breath of nature, and occasionally shocked by the mountain-like world tree seen in the cracks of the trees.

They were gone for a long time.

Rosen finally couldn't help but ask: "Selena, why haven't you arrived yet, we've been gone for a long time." ”

Selena ignored Lawson, walked straight to the front and looked left and right, and then whispered to herself: "Hey, why do you feel that you are not going right?" Where is this? ”

Although Selena's voice was small, it was heard by the attentive Lawson. The corners of Lawson's eyes twitched unnaturally a few times, and he asked strangely, "Selena, could it be that you are lost?" ”

"Ahh Selena turned her head sharply, glared at Lawson for three seconds, and then smirked: "Hahaha, how can it be, this is my home!" A little further on that side is the border of Anaheim. ”

Looking in the direction Selena was pointing, the dense trees blocked the view. Rosen said with some skepticism: "Really? ”

"Of course!" Selena patted her chest and walked out first, "Follow me!" ”

Rosen rubbed his head and followed, asking Nash about Nash's condition in a chat message.

Considering that Nash is a dark elf, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Rosen still let him go to St. Solin alone to wait for him, after all, elves and dark elves are incompatible.

"Nash, how's it going? Where? Don't get into trouble on the road. ”

Nash: "Don't worry, master, oh no, boss, I'm never in trouble, I'm halfway there, I'll be there before dark." ”

Rosen pouted, Nash's words sounded like a Flag, just now Selena set up a beautiful Flag, Rosen estimated that she had been slapped in the face, I hope Nash doesn't cause trouble.

"Okay, let's go to St. Sorin's College City and inquire about the market of various equipment, and when we get there, we can have a big sale, oh yes, don't forget to hide your identity."

"No problem, boss."

After ending the chat, Lawson and the others continued to follow Selena around the woods, and Lawson felt a little hungry.

Selena walked in front alone, biting her fingers and whispering, "It doesn't make sense, there should be a vine passage near here." ”

Lawson, who accidentally heard this, stumbled directly......

Well, as an elven princess, she can't find her way to her own doorstep, and if it gets out, it will definitely be transformed into a hot story by the bard.

The problem was eventually solved by the elven guards in charge of the patrol, and Rosen figured that if he hadn't run into them, he might have spent the night in the Great Forest tonight. However, the elven guards did not show any friendship to Lawson and the others, even if the elven princess explained, Lawson estimated that if it weren't for Selena to follow, maybe those guards wouldn't talk nonsense at all, and directly attacked him.

With the Elven Guardian leading the way, the group soon approached the bottom of the World Tree...... Anaheim Kings.

It is said to be a royal city, but it is different from any city that Lawson has ever seen, the whole city is surrounded by the roots of the World Tree, and the trees around it are even taller, and the big trees have become the dwellings of the elves, most of these big trees are hundreds of years old, and the interior is naturally hollowed out, and some of them have become the dwellings of the elves, and most of them have gates made of vines at the bottom.

There are also many wooden houses built directly on trees, with thick branches forming paths. However, in some open spaces, there are occasionally these normal buildings. For example, not long after entering Anaheim, Rosen saw a magnificent building about a few tens of meters high.

"That's the Druid Temple!" Selena volunteered to act as a tour guide, "All gifted elves will be baptized there to see if they can become druids." ”

"There's the council hall, there's the Hall of Warfighters, Rosen, do you see a row of domes over there? There is an elven barracks, and the adult warlords of the elves are basically soldiers in the barracks, but most of them usually live freely, and if there is any emergency, they will gather there to fight against foreign enemies. ”

Several of the guards noticed that the princess even told humans about this kind of thing, and their eyes were full of speculation when they looked at Lawson.

Rosen was also uncomfortable with those glances, but in comparison, he sighed even more at the elven city, the elven clan deserves to be the darling of nature! However, the buildings Selena was referring to were more or less human-world-like, and Rosen could see the buildings in the distance built on the thick branches of the World Tree in the distance, and he could guess what they were without Selena explaining.

Elven King City! Where the Elven Queen lives!
