Chapter 141: The Ancient Tree of Life
No one knew that she didn't return immediately after Starlight left Shattered Star Lake, even though the battlefield thousands of miles away was where she was needed more.
Instead, she calmly walked into the depths of the strange dense forest of Ye Ye Academy.
As Ge Sheng and Ye Qing had experienced, this was simply a miracle creation, in the bitter cold northern land, no one had ever imagined that there would be such a place that was as warm as summer all year round, and the humid air was so heavy that it seemed to squeeze out water with a pinch of the hand.
In the past, there was actually only one path leading to the Leaf Night Academy's archery training ground, and you wouldn't be able to find anything superfluous here, and there would have been students who were curious about it in the past who tried to go deep into the forest alone, but without exception, after a long trek, they would unknowingly return to the original starting point.
And the time between Ge Sheng and Ye Qing, under the personal leadership of Ai Enlu, they walked through the rainforest that seemed to breathe and think like animals, and came to Ai Enlu's residence in the depths of the rainforest, and were properly entertained there, and since then, this has given the green light to the two of them in a sense, not only that the club activity room of the Friends Society at the end of the summer was given by Ai Enlu's teacher, but even Ye Qing's fluent elf language is also learned from this elf.
But other than that, the entire Ye Ye Academy took this archery teacher as an elf for granted.
The degree of naturalness even surpassed that of the Third Highness.
She will be ranked second on the list of women in Ye Ye Academy every year, and this time span is even far more than Lan Yaxin's ten years, and it is also more than the three highnesses' decades, maybe from the first time the list began to be evaluated, this teacher was on the list, but no one knew what it meant at that time.
At this moment, Xingxi walked through such a dense forest, and the original forest that seemed to have a soul should have blocked this non-vegetarian in every sense, but in fact, even the most dull person could clearly read the fear from the vines and branches.
They instinctively feared the rather petite girl in front of them, like ordinary humans, or animals, so that with every step she took, the vines and leaves that should have quietly changed course and trapped her to death all retreated respectfully and fearfully, paving an open path for the girl.
At this time, it was still night, and although the time of the rising of the sun was getting closer, the cold light of the moon still fell coldly from the gap separated by the rainforest, and Xingxi enjoyed it all as a matter of course, without the slightest fear or hesitation, just calmly walking towards where she should go.
Of course, the end of the journey is naturally the huge treehouse of Ainlu that sits across the lake.
However, when Dawn actually stood in front of the treehouse, she finally stopped, instead of breaking in ignorant and fearless.
Her face, which was like an ancient well, also revealed a different kind of emotion in an extremely rare way.
"In the lower stars, come to see the saint."
The girl's voice echoed calmly in the quiet rainforest, bouncing off the calm turquoise lake, however, the silence around was a little too excessive, and even the insects that could be heard everywhere could not be heard.
It's just that after Xingxi said this, she didn't make any movements, and she stood on the opposite side of the book room like a statue.
As the clock ticked by, it wasn't until the fourth drop of dew was bent on the leaves of the banyan tree that the voice of Ainlu was heard from all directions.
"Xi Che asked you to come over, so you are really not afraid that I will kill you?"
Xingxi didn't answer, but Mu Ran raised her hand.
In her hand was a branch that had been broken off raw, I don't know how long it had been, but the leaves on the branch were still verdant as if they were still growing on the trunk.
"The old gentleman told me that if I bring it to you, you will know the cause and effect of everything."
Ainlu silently appeared ten steps away from the starlight, a very peculiar appearance, completely different from the usual spatial teleportation, if you really want to describe it, it is more like this blue-haired and white-clothed elf growing there at an unbelievable speed.
Ai Enlu stood still, looking coldly at the tree trunk in Xingxi's hand, her turquoise eyes were as deep as a lake, and she couldn't see any emotion, she stared at it for about a flick of her fingers, then shook her head quietly, and looked at Xingxi again: "Are you so sure that I will leave with you?" ”
"I'm not sure." Xingxi said lightly, "But he said that you would definitely come, so I came here." ”
"But Xi Che may not know that I have no relationship with my clan for a long time." Ainlu said without the slightest emotion.
"He didn't tell me that, but he told me that you are the most unwilling elf in the world to see the tree of life wither, so you may not be going back there for your kind, but you will definitely break your promise for the sake of that old gentleman."
Ai Enlu sighed rarely, she paused for a moment before she spoke quietly, as if she had known the result for a long time, but still wanted to confirm it from someone else's mouth: "Uncle Qi only regretted it until today, or has he begun to regret it since that day." ”
"We don't know." Xingxi didn't hesitate at all, "Because we don't have the technology to penetrate the heart of the Tree of Life, but that old gentleman did accept his suggestion and was willing to invite you to feather him in his name." ”
"yes, even he doesn't know." Ai Enlu smiled lightly for some reason, this may be the most beautiful elf in heaven and earth, and a smile may be the most beautiful scenery, but it is a pity that the only viewer is the most boring object.
"Even I don't know." Ainlu said with a bowed head.
"However, those of us born under the Tree of Eternity have an innate obligation to fulfill the wishes of all the Tree of Life, and this comes from the contract we made at birth." Einlu said, then nodded, "As you wish, I will leave here in the near future and go to the Eternal Land, although I have the slightest interest in watching what is about to happen on the ground beneath my feet, but since your brother and many people around him do not want to see me as a variable, then I have no choice but to do as you wish." ”
"But before I do that, I have a little thing to take care of here, so I'll leave in three days, and if I'm not mistaken, we'll end up in the Eternal Land together."
Xingxi nodded, and then without a trace of concern, she stuck the stump of the Tree of Life in her hand into the dirt beneath her feet, and then turned to leave.
The moment she turned around, the stump that had been away from her mother's body for a long time but had never lost its vitality quickly took root downward, and then began to stretch her body upwards.
Almost voluntarily, the whole forest began to tremble, and they gave their life nourishment unreservedly to the branch, which seemed to drain all energy, and watched it gradually take root, thicken, and grow upwards until the sky no longer covered its leaves.
Anyone who could look down from the sky would be amazed to see how the lush rainforest quickly turned yellow and withered in a matter of breaths, while an incomparable giant tree slowly and leisurely sprouted through the dense forest.
Of course, slowness and leisureliness are both relative.
Ainlu slowly approached the massive ancient tree that had grown in less than half an hour almost as much as a feather tower, and her white, slender fingers gently caressed its rough trunk.
"Thank you very much Uncle Qi for letting you accompany me, but before that, I hope you can help me watch my home here for a year."
