Chapter 221: Wind Chimes Echoing in the Forest (2)

The territory of the Elven Empire is almost the same size as that of the Hansting, but compared to the Hansting Empire, which has a large number of cities with more than one million cities, the number of elven cities is not large. Because elven cities need to rely on the ancient tree of life to survive, it is almost impossible for a town without the ancient tree of life to obtain the blessing of natural forces.

However, in the last hundred years, there have been some villages and cities without lifeless ancient trees, after all, there are fewer and fewer places suitable for planting life trees when the forest is gradually dying. Although the forest coverage area of the Elven Empire is still very high, if the forest area required for the cultivation of a Living Tree is concerned, the entire Elven Empire can actually only support less than a hundred Ancient Living Trees.

The larger number of Living Trees has lost the possibility of becoming Ancient Living Trees because they do not have enough forest area to support them, so there are not many villages such as Runmaran in the Elven Empire. However, Runmaran is better than the other villages in that it is close to the Denzel Forest, which has a large area of over-forest at the edge of the Denzel Forest, and the existence of these forests makes it possible for some of the Living Trees in Runmaran and several surrounding villages to become Ancient Living Trees.

But it would take at least hundreds of years for Runmaran to become a town with a Living Ancient Tree, and a hundred years is enough time for the elves to build hundreds of towns that are even larger than Runmaran. So now the elves are also a little anxious about the development of the city, whether to continue to develop the city according to the ancient tradition of relying on the ancient tree of life, or to build a walled city like humans and dwarves is a question in front of the elves.

The elven town they see now belongs to the relatively old elven town, and the meaning of Loraine Illit in the elven language is the windy woodland. This is a traditional elven city, the town's existence is completely based on the huge ancient tree of life, when the hundred-meter-high ancient tree of life appeared in the field of vision, Chen Kai and they knew that Luolaner Elite had arrived, but because the name was too bad, most players would call this city the city of wind chimes. After all, this name is much simpler than the awkward elven name, of course, some people simply call the Wind Glade here, but there are a lot of places called the Wind Glade, so most of the time players will still use the Wind Chime City to call this place.

On both sides of the road there is a row of chime trees that make a constant tinkling sound. This semi-natural, semi-natural spell is what makes the city the city the city of wind chimes. The jingling wind chimes are the sound of the flower buds of these bell trees, and the white buds like an inverted bell make a tinkling sound when they sway in the wind.

The flowering period of these transformed bell trees is as long as several months, and Chen Kai and the others are basically in full bloom of these bell trees, so the wind chimes in their ears are very clear. Of course, the most famous of the whole city is the flower festival held every five years, on the day of the birth of the goddess of nature, all the bell trees in the city will bloom at the same time and at the same time, and all the flowers will make their own sounds at the same time to play a song that has always commemorated the birthday of the goddess of nature.

It's a pity that Chen Kai and the others were still in Khedira during the last flower festival, and that time was also the first time that players heard such a spectacular scene after entering the game. Although the number of players participating in this festival is not large, because the elven empire is not a country that is open to players in the early stage, and even if players are reincarnated as elves in the later stage, it is very rare for players to reach this city located in the northeastern border, so not many people know that there will be such a grand festival here.

As a result, less than seven players participated in the first Chime Festival after the player entered the game. And only one of them recorded the whole process, and the others were called up by the player from the offline halfway. Chen Kai can find the scene of the city's flower festival on the Internet, the sound of thousands of flower bells ringing is like heaven, I don't know how many times more beautiful than the current scene. After the release of this video, thousands of couple players ran to the city, almost in a short period of time, turning Lorraine Illit into a romantic city, and things are happening almost all the time, of course, there are more bloody scenes such as two women fighting for a husband or the original partner beating the mistress from time to time.

It's just that as the news of Runmaran's battle reached the city, Chen Kai could clearly feel the tense anger in the air, and the elves of the brigade began to patrol the streets. They were screened at least three times when they entered the city limits, and if Surez hadn't been in the carriage all the time, they would have been screened many more times.

Look at the elven guards on either side. Chen Kai and the others cautiously entered the city, although the city had a city wall, but Chen Kai looked at the wooden wall decorated with a large number of wind chimes and felt that the wall was basically unable to withstand too powerful attacks. Of course, this was just Chen Kai's feeling after seeing the fronts of these wooden walls, as he slowly walked through the gate made of two huge trees. He found that his opinion was a bit biased, because just in terms of the thickness of the walls, these wooden walls were actually not much worse than the stone walls made of masonry, and at the same time, under the natural spell control of the elves, they could grow terrifying thorns and other defensive measures on the walls, so the actual protective effect of the wooden walls was much higher than Chen Kai had expected at the beginning.

After passing through the city gates. What appeared in front of Chen Kai and them were more than a dozen ancient tree guardians lined up on both sides of the road, and it was obvious that these ancient tree guardians had just migrated from other places, and their huge bodies had not yet fully incorporated into the soil. Watching an ancient tree with wooden features, the guardian slowly inserted his legs into the ground and turned into roots. Then shaking his body so that his body was completely fixed on the ground, Chen Kai felt that maybe the city was preparing for war.

It's just that it was obvious that this kind of war preparation was a bit ridiculous in Chen Kai's opinion, because just as those ancient tree guardians were adjusting their positions, there were still some elves not far away who were playing xylophones and dancing. More elves live leisurely in the city, without the urgency of war at all. If this state is called war preparation, Chen Kai felt in his heart that the nerves of the elves were too coarse.

When Chen Kai saw a treehouse-like elf inn again, his mind flashed to the collapsed inn in Runmaran Village, and then he raised his head and looked at the huge ancient tree dozens of meters high. It's not just him who has experienced that kind of scene and will have lingering feelings about the Ancient Tree Hotel at the moment, but in the end, Chen Kai and the others still stayed in the inn because they needed to rest here for a night. In fact, according to their own situation, there was no need to rest at all, but it was clear that the elven messenger, the injured Lord Sures, did not want to continue on the road.

Chen Kai and the others, who were a little helpless about this, could only choose to obey, although they could leave each other behind and hurry by themselves, but the elves were a very xenophobic race, especially the humans who pushed them off the throne of the king of the world with little affection. Although the elves have basically not fought with the major human empires, there is no friendly situation. On top of that, many slave traders who sneak into the elven empire to capture elves as slaves are basically humans. This situation makes it almost impossible for most human adventurers to move an inch in the Elven Empire, except for some more famous adventurers or mercenaries, if you want to travel through the Elven Empire, you need an elf to lead it.

Therefore, Chen Kai and the others can only follow Surez to the capital of the Elven Empire, if they are left behind on the way, then let alone going to the Elven Imperial Capital, even leaving the Elven Empire will become a problem. This is something that Chen Kai did not expect at the beginning, although Nero Elu and the others have a high friendship value towards everyone, and Sures, who was saved by them, is extremely appreciative of everyone, but this does not mean that they can travel freely in the Elven Empire. After all, both Nero Aru and Sures are just individuals, and they don't represent the elves of the entire Elven Empire. Unless Chen Kai and the others did something to save the Elven Empire, it would be basically impossible for them to get the friendship of the entire Elven Empire. In this case, when they buy items in the city, the price will rise significantly, at least 10%.

What made Chen Kai and them feel depressed was that this kind of price increase was only for players of the human race, of course, maybe not only players, but also natives, and dwarves and minotaurs were not among them. Therefore, while wandering the streets of this city, Chen Kai and the others tragically found that the black dwarves spent cheaper than them to buy supplies, and they were even more angry that several elf bosses were courteous to her when Alyssa was buying things. Looking at the few elves who appeared behind him like farts worms, Chen Kai had the urge to swing his weapon and slash at the other party, while Alyssa followed Su Wan with a bewildered expression.

Compared to Runmaran, an elven town that already has a lot of fame in the mouth of players, it is much more prosperous, but because it is located on the northeastern border of the elven empire, adjacent to the forest of Denzel, which has almost no specialties to speak of. It can be said that apart from the five-year festival of the goddess of nature, there is basically nothing that merchants can rush to. So the city of Lorraine Illit is not very commercially developed. Although you can buy a lot of elven specialties here, the price is much more expensive than the hinterland of the elf empire, plus Chen Kai's price increase as a human race, the price is completely inflated, which is unacceptable.

In the face of such a high price, the shy people in their pockets could only buy a little material and end their shopping, and Su Xinghe did not find anyone to repair the armor they lost. Because the price of repairs is so expensive, you can buy a new armor. The most important thing is that these elven craftsmen repaired the armor obviously in accordance with the elven style, and there was no idea of repairing it according to Su Xinghe's requirements at all. According to the other party's line of thought, Su Xinghe could feel that his armor would definitely become very handsome after the repair was completed, and at the same time, his defense would be reduced by at least half, because the drawings given by the craftsman showed that the armor was covered with a large number of hollowed-out areas.

At the same time, according to the time given by this elven craftsman, Chen Kai and they had to stay in the city for at least seven days before they could get the armor. So thinking that there were still a few pieces of garbage equipment in their backpacks that could be replaced, Su Xinghe and the others gave up the idea of repairing their armor. After all, they are not wronged, how can they spend so much money to turn their armor into fancy equipment with low defense.

By the time they returned to the Treehouse Inn, it was completely dark. It's just that the elves who followed their butts were still showing great hospitality to Alyssa, and they thought they were very personable and wanted to open the door of the inn for Alyssa. But just as several elves were about to open the door of the treehouse inn, the originally closed door was suddenly pushed open, and a hand was placed on the door, and the elves were directly knocked upside down by the huge force.

Chen Kai didn't care that the elf who was so attentive to Alyssa was knocked away, because his eyes were completely attracted by the guy wearing a black cloak who appeared in front of him, and he subconsciously activated the divine blessing on his eyes. It's just that there is no evil aura as far as the eye can see, but the incomparably thick bloody aura on the other party's body makes Chen Kai feel that these guys in front of him must have killed many people in their hands.

There was no doubt that Chen Kai's eyes were shining with golden light, and his behavior of staring at the other party had been discovered by the other party, so Chen Kai was quickly counterattacked, and a pair of blood-colored eyes appeared in his field of vision, staring at him fiercely. At that moment, Chen Kai felt that the air seemed to start to become viscous, and he seemed to see countless blood surging towards him.

If it is a newcomer who has never been on the battlefield and killed an enemy, there is no doubt that he will be scared at this moment. And Chen Kai's hands don't mention how many monsters he killed, the players who died in his hands alone added up to more than three digits. If it were left in reality, Chen Kai would have killed so many people and would have been killed as a murderer, but in the game, which strong man did not have the blood of the enemy in his hands. Therefore, in the face of the other party's overwhelming murderous aura, Chen Kai only frowned slightly, while the guy in front of him who stared at Chen Kai was suspicious and stunned, because unless it was a temple professional with extremely firm beliefs or a guy with blood on his hands like him, almost everyone who was stared at by his blood-colored eyes would tremble uncontrollably.

"It's time for Mavi to go!" The blood-colored eyes slowly disappeared from Chen Kai's sight as this voice sounded, and at the same time, the murderous aura as thick as blood disappeared. It's just that the other party lowered his head and left in front of him, but Chen Kai's eyes were still staring at the other party, and it wasn't until the guy who was obviously the leader of the black cloak turned his head that Chen Kai stopped looking. Because I think for the guy named Mavi, this leader's gaze is even more terrifying. Just by looking at Chen Kai, he felt as if he was being targeted by a prehistoric giant beast, and his body involuntarily wanted to pull out his weapon from behind.

It's just that in the end, Chen Kai held back, because he found that the other party's ears were elven pointed ears, and if he pulled out his weapon towards an elf here, then no matter how many mouths he had, he couldn't tell. After all, it was he who first scanned the other party with his gaze, and it was a gaze with a detecting divine skill.

But Chen Kai retracted his gaze did not mean that the others would be willing to let these elves leave, the unlucky elf who was knocked out by the door got up from the ground and shook his head, and then began to shout loudly.

"Stop! Hold it! Don't want to run! Do you want to leave when you hit someone? Where do you think this is? Chen Kai didn't want to pay attention to this elf's death, he directly pushed open the door of the hotel and walked into the hotel first, and the others had no intention of watching the excitement, and Alyssa couldn't wait to get rid of these annoying guys as soon as possible.

The elf who originally wanted to express xiàn suddenly lost the object of the table. It's just that he didn't notice it yet, but straightened his clothes and put on a pose that he thought was handsome, ready to attract Alyssa's attention. However, the elf noticed that Alyssa's figure had disappeared into the door of the inn, and the elves in black cloaks looked at the elf with a stupid look.

"It seems that some parts of the empire have begun to become decadent!" The black-clothed leader gave the posing elf a hint of helpless taunt, and then directly turned around and summoned a horned eagle beast. This Hippogriff was quite large, at least a head larger than a normal Hippryph. The most important thing is that it has the coat of arms of the Elven Empire on it, and these horned eagle beasts summoned by black-clothed elves are all like this. Obviously, they were a powerful force in the Elven Empire, at least Chen Kai felt that these elves were very strong, but he didn't know where they came from.

The wind from the horned eagle beast that rose into the sky blew directly on the posing elf. It was only at this time that the elf who wanted to show his face in front of Alyssa came back to his senses, looked at the elf who rose into the sky, and he angrily dropped a cruel word and walked away. The elves passing by around them didn't pay any attention to such words, which seemed normal to them.

The elves who had left from Lorraine Illit on the Horned Hippogriff quickly moved in the direction of Runmaran. Flying through the air, they soon encountered the eagle knights patrolling the skies. After a brief exchange, a dozen horned eagle beasts began to land towards Runmaran on the ground.

"Lord Canamos! Mawi-sama! The elven elder lying on the hospital bed tried to straighten up and salute the two elves in black cloaks, but he was quickly pushed back into the bed.

"Elder Nil Gwynm, I need all you know." Slowly lifting his hood, the black-cloaked elf revealed a handsome face, and a silver glint floating above his eyes was a testament to his great strength.

"Okay! Lord Canamos, I've recorded everything! Weimars, give those things to Lord Mavi! The elven elder said softly to Weimars, who was standing beside him, and the latter quickly took out a box containing all the information that these elves needed.

"Hasn't Manna Shadow Song come back yet?" Watching Mavi take the information, the elf quickly asked for news of the other person.

"Sorry! Your Excellency, Shadowsong-sama is still in the Denzel Forest at the moment, and we have sent out sentinels to pick her up from the forest as soon as there is any trace of Shadowsong-sama! Weimas lowered his head and said slowly, although he only needed to accumulate to step into the realm of the Holy Realm, but compared to the elf in front of him, his strength was not enough at all. In fact, there was a voice in his heart shouting, if Ganamos and the others could have arrived earlier, maybe Runmaran would have suffered even less losses, but he knew very well that this was impossible. If it weren't for the heavy losses of Runmaran, these black-cloaked elves wouldn't have come to Runmaran. (To be continued......)
