Chapter 327: Settlement after the fact
The forest elves have suffered more trauma than natural disasters.
Although most of the young elves who were directly crystallized were estimated to need to recuperate for a while, they were still saved, while those elves who were killed when the Moon Tree went berserk, or who were directly killed by the World Realm Tree, could not come back.
Thankfully, the reinforcements they had brought in had played an unexpected role, and they had really suppressed the catastrophe that would have removed the forest elves from this world by accident.
They don't have time to grieve. After the center of the World Realm Tree was defeated by Xiwei and failed to break the seal as he wished, as soon as the Bleak Moon period passed, the huge World Realm Tree was once again pulled back to the moon by the power of the Quiet Moon. And the mess left behind needs to be dealt with by themselves.
In addition to the destroyed settlements and the rituals of praying for the dead, there are many forest areas that have been ruined by the fighting, and although nature has the ability to heal itself, it is estimated that it will take nearly 100 years to restore the way it was...... Naturally, the elves couldn't wait slowly, and even if they could, the monsters who called the forest their home couldn't wait.
Therefore, when the most important heroes in this incident, Xiwei and them left, except for Winter, no elf came to see them off.
This echoes the lonely scene when they came......
Incidentally, Frey had already returned to the Sanctuary with the members of the Templars, who had paid a heavy price in order to stop the expansion of the Celestial Tree and reduce the casualties of the Elves.
"Thank you very much this time, although the Great Elder can't take a break, but from now on, you are all the best friends of the forest elves!"
Winter shook Sivi's hand, and the gratitude on his face didn't seem to be fake.
"Actually, I've wanted to ask for a long time......" Sivi quietly withdrew his hand from the elven puppeteer's hand. Then in a rather casual tone, he casually found a topic to cover up: "Elder Winter, you don't seem to be different from ordinary elves, how can you say it...... It is. It's more like a human ......."
"When I was a child, I was adopted by a human family in the border area, and that's when I learned Hughman."
Winter replied disapprovingly, "I have lived in that village for a long time, and I have watched the adoptive parents of humans grow old, and children who were about my age grow into adults. Then I followed in the footsteps of my adoptive father and adoptive mother again. ”
He stroked his long hair, looking a little nostalgic and a little sad: "At that time, I felt that human life was really too short. In order not to have the experience of watching my friends grow old, I will take the initiative to leave the village and return to the tribe of elves......"
"Is that so......"
Sivi also sighed a little, no wonder he always felt that Winter's behavior was completely different from the elves' freewheeling (human) etiquette.
Just as they were about to say something, the whistle on the Sky Destroyer hissed long, reminding Sivi that it was time to leave.
"Well, my friend. See you again. May the moon of tranquility always favor you. ”
Winter gave a fairy salute to Sivi.
And Sivi gave him a mage salute: "May the goddess of Qiyao protect the elves." ”
Then the two looked at each other and smiled, and Sivi didn't stop there, turned around and walked back to the magic destroyer.
- Inside the Celestial Destroyer -
Looking at the sea of clouds surging outside the window, Xiwei was truly relaxed.
Although he expected the difficulty of this elven trip, he didn't dare to relax until the moment when it was completed.
After all, it wasn't once or twice before that the system was pitted......
Fortunately, this time it was relatively smooth. And the final harvest exceeded Sivi's own expectations.
Not counting the initial mission, the large-scale task of defeating the people in the pillar and thwarting the conspiracy of the Lord of the Plague made him a lot of money.
Not to mention the large number of gold coins and achievement points, the first is a new achievement building [Fairy Garden], which can provide a certain amount of wood and alchemy material resource points every natural day, no matter what you do in it, you can enjoy the effect of mana purification. At the same time, it is also a precursor to a variety of achievement buildings, such as the [Fairy Tree Shack] that Xiwei has been accumulating in his hands to eat ashes...... In short, when this building is completed, the overall level of Edric will also have a small leap forward.
Then there is a treasure-level gauntlet [Plague Gauntlet of the World Realm Tree]. This wooden gauntlet that looks like it's carved out of wood comes with a lot of magic defense, and there are two special natural spells that can be switched between 'Corpse Powder' and 'Soul Resurrection Incense', and when this gauntlet is equipped, it can also get a stealth effect in the woods, which is also a treasure second only to the Weather Ring.
Then there is a hard card called [Guardian Ticket (3 Stars)], which has the effect of loading it on any academy building, and it will automatically recruit a guardian corresponding to the loaded building, in other words, adding a guard to the academy in disguise. And that three stars should be the strength of the Guardian...... Sivi estimated that it should be equivalent to the level of an intermediate or high-level entry mage.
The last is a proof of the strong as usual.
In addition, because the friendship level of the forest elves to the Adric Academy has been increased from cold to friendly, the entire academy has received the buff of 'Demon Plant Growth Speed +1, Medicinal Effect +1'.
Of course, if there is one of the rewards that makes Sivi the happiest, it is undoubtedly the one in the system message area.
[Edric Academy has been carefully built and has reached the required level of prosperity, and now you can choose the terrain and open the second school district. 】
"I've long felt that the floating island land that the academy bought in the first place is not enough......"
Sivi looked at the screen and smiled with satisfaction.
At this time, when he came back to his senses, he suddenly found that Tio was alone on the side of the hallway, with a blank face and eyes looking out of the window.
"Oops, I almost forgot the most important thing."
He tapped his head, overwhelmed by the harvest, and walked over to Theo, "What are you thinking, Theo?" ”
"Sivi ......" The girl looked at Sivi, and then continued to look out the window: "I failed, I couldn't bring my friend back." ”
"It's not your fault."
Sivi touched the girl's head and comforted softly.
"I should have found out, Iko doesn't look right......"
The girl's voice sounded remorseful.
Looking at the haggard girl, the serious expression on Sivi's face finally collapsed.
"Actually, there's something that I didn't have a good time taking out when I was with the elves, but it shouldn't be a problem now."
He looked at the sad girl, showed a sunny smile, and made a gesture of please: "I finally invited, the second resident of the three sages." ”
A green-haired, pointy-eared girl with a faint fluorescent body appeared next to Sivi.
"I'll call her Sida."
Looking at the look of surprise on Theo's face, Sivi whispered.
Then looked at the girls who had reunited, and quietly left. (To be continued.) )
