Before the patrol could say anything, an elven villager had jumped out and shouted, "I said, please don't hurt the child." ”

"Don't say it!" The patrol members tried to stand up to stop them, but they were immediately struck by a lightning bolt that pierced their chests and eventually collapsed with smoke all over their bodies.

After killing the patrol member who was in the way, Ruan Chi said to the elven villager who jumped out, "You can say it. ”

Seeing the patrolman's smoky corpse, the elven villager swallowed and finally told him honestly.

"It wouldn't have been that much if I said that earlier."

After knowing that Lan Yue's house was located in the Singing Hill, Ruan Chi put the little Lori down and flew away again in the shocked gaze of those elves.

……

Since knowing that she would marry in three days, Rachel couldn't sleep for the past two nights, and every day she opened her eyes, it was smallpox in her own house.

Rachel tried to escape, but was unsuccessful, and her mother, Cinderella, the patriarch of the Arazuki lineage, personally unleashed a powerful barrier and locked Rachel in her room.

Cinderella has the strength of a king-level elemental mage, and it is impossible for Rachel to escape, not to mention that she can't beat her, and even if she can, Rachel can't do anything to her mother.

Thinking of the cold expression on the day when her mother announced that she was going to marry her to the Hundred Days Line, Rachel's heart couldn't help but ache faintly at the moment.

Rachel probably knew why her mother married her off, probably to cover up her love affair with another race.

Elves take loyalty very seriously, and once Rachel and Ruan Chi fell in love, it was known. Rachel may not be able to gain a foothold in the elves in the future.

In order to cover up Rachel's affairs. Cinderella had met Denisha before. Let Denisha marry Rachel to the Hundred Days.

In a certain way, Cinderella did this for the good of her daughter, but Rachel couldn't accept it at all.

"Mom, why don't you ask me what I want?"

At this time, Rachel was like a wounded reindeer, curled up by the window, a pair of emerald green eyes had already dried up tears, and stared blankly at the scenery outside the window.

Rachel also thought of Ruan Chi. Now that she may still be in the Tower of Sinners, her heart hurts even more, she had planned that Ruan Chi would escape, but Rachel was very worried about whether Ruan Chi would be able to escape from the Tower of Sinners.

"Stupid Ruan Chi, you must be safe and sound."

Looking at the direction of the Elven King City, Rachel kept praying for Ruan Chi in her heart.

"Click!"

Suddenly, the barrier on the surface of the door trembled slightly, and the door slowly opened, and a person walked in from the outside, and then closed again.

The enchantment heals quickly. The man was also sitting next to Rachel.

At first, Rachel thought it was the father who delivered the meal, and she didn't look back. "Dad, I don't have an appetite, you can take the food."

"Child, even if you don't have an appetite, you have to eat a little."

A familiar and kind voice sounded, Rachel's delicate body was shocked, and when she looked up, she saw a familiar face, and finally, Rachel's tears slipped down again.

"Gona...... Elder? ”

"Rachel!"

That's right, the one who suddenly appeared in Rachel's room was none other than the Elder Gona from Luminous Village, who had a relationship with Rachel as both a teacher and a friend, and was Rachel's best teacher at the time.

Rachel threw herself into Elder Gona's arms and cried loudly, and after a few moments asked with red eyes, "Elder, why are you at my house?" ”

"It was Patriarch Cinderella who took me in, and I am now serving as a guest elder here in the Hill of Chanting." Elder Gona touched Rachel's supple blonde hair and said softly.

"Mom?"

"Rachel, your mother is a good person, she knows that our Luminous Village was destroyed by the Platinum Consortium, and after your envoy set off for the Terrans, she arranged for us to come to the Singing Hill to live, and also arranged jobs for the villagers of the Luminous Village before, and now everyone is fine."

"I know." Rachel's eyes were downcast, she didn't know what her mother was, but this time, she really couldn't agree with Cinderella's approach.

Rachel's expression, Elder Gona naturally saw it, she smiled slightly, and suddenly said, "I really didn't expect that Rachel, who hated that teenager the most, would now fight against her mother for the sake of the other party." ”

Hearing this, Rachel couldn't help but blush a little, and said with a wry smile, "Elder, don't make fun of me. ”

When she first met Ruan Chi, Rachel really hated Ruan Chi, on the contrary, the villagers of Luminous Village, as well as Elder Gegona herself, had always respected Ruan Chi very much.

Although he later learned that Ruan Chi was an "impostor", the fact that Ruan Chi saved everyone in Luminous Village would still not change, so the current Elder Gona was still grateful to Ruan Chi.

I have to say that the elves are all people with clear grievances, which is probably also an advantage of the elves, as long as they identify things, they will not change lightly.

"Rachel, you tell sù, do you really like that boy named Ruan Chi?" Elder Gona suddenly asked with a stern expression.

Rachel was stunned for a moment, then slowly asked, "Elder Gona, did you ask me this question instead of my mother?" ”

"You're smart, yes." Elder Gona didn't hide it, but nodded in acknowledgement.

"That's right, I like him, and besides, I'm already ...... with Ruan Chi It's been a long time together and my body is even ......"

Rachel was a little embarrassed to continue, but it was also a woman, Elder Gona couldn't hear it, Elder Gona smiled bitterly, "Rachel, you are too reckless this time, you should know the consequences of combining with a foreign race, although that young man looks good, but for him, do you think it's worth it?" “

"It's worth it." Rachel nodded almost without hesitation.

Seeing the determined light in Rachel's eyes, Elder Gona finally sighed lightly and said, "I will report this matter to Patriarch Cinderella, and when the time comes, Patriarch Hindlera will find a way to conceal that you are not perfect." ”

"Elder Gona, does my mother want me to marry someone from the Hundred Days Lineage?" Rachel asked willingly.

"Rachel, you haven't been back for too long, you may not know that this marriage between Lanyue and Baitian is not only to cover up your love affair with another race, but also for Lanyue's family."

"What do you mean by that?" Rachel had a blank expression, it was true that she hadn't been back for too long, and she didn't know much about the family's situation.

"In addition to the Star Language One of the Royal Clan, the other three veins are all guardian clans in charge of the leyline of the Tree of Life, and the status of your Lanyue family comes from this."

Rachel nodded, she still knew what her family did and her status in the elven clan.

"However, since the Spring of Life produced by the Tree of Life in recent years, the spring water flowing into the leylines has become less and less, and among them, the leylines of the Lanyue Vein are even in danger of drying up."

"What?"

It was the first time for Rachel to hear such a thing, and she was immediately surprised, of course she knew what the consequences of the leyline's spring water would be if it was depleted.

The Forest of Elves, no, or the entire Elven Race, whether it is life or survival, is inseparable from the Fountain of Life, which is basically the lifeblood of the entire Elven Clan.

The Tree of Life, located in the Elven King's City, is the source of the Fountain of Life, which flows through three leylines under Guò to every part of the Elven Forest and is used by every Elven village.

As the family in charge of the three leylines, Arashitsuki, the wind is gone, and the hundred days have been responsible for guarding the leylines since ancient times, so as to ensure that the spring water of the leylines can be continuously supplied.

However, about 500 years ago, I don't know what the reason is, the spring water of the Tree of Life is getting less and less, although the elven queen of the previous generation, and the elven queen of Sifarif's generation have tried to save it, but this phenomenon is becoming more and more serious.

This leads to a gradual decrease in the amount of spring water flowing from the fountain of life into the leylines.

If things get to the strictest point, I am afraid that there will be a phenomenon of the depletion of the leyline springs, and at that time, the territory under the jurisdiction of the Lanyue lineage, whether it is a forest or an elven village, will disappear because the spring water will dry up.

It was a terrible catastrophe, even for the elves, a catastrophe of total destruction.

"Although the spring water will not dry up in a moment, it is true that the spring water flowing into our Lanyue vein has become less and less over the years, probably because our vein is close to the higher southern part of the country."

"However, our leylines are dry, what does it have to do with me marrying a hundred days of one vein? Also, the leylines are depleted, doesn't the current Queen Denisha have no ideas? Rachel couldn't help but ask.

Elder Gona looked at Rachel and sighed for a long time, "The patriarch intends to use the marriage of the two clans as a bargaining chip, and propose to the Hundred Days One Vein to open one of the leylines of the two clans, so that the spring water can be connected, so as to achieve the phenomenon of the depletion of the spring water. And this method was also approved by Her Majesty Queen Denissa. ”

"However, this is only a stopgap measure." Rachel smiled wryly.

She didn't expect that she would encounter such a sacrifice for the interests of the family, if it was before, she would definitely agree without hesitation.

But now......

"Rachel, Patriarch Cinderella also knows that this matter is very unfair to you, but the patriarch really can't think of any other way, you should know how strict the consequences will be once the leylines of our Lanyue vein are exhausted."

"Of course I do." Rachel nodded distractedly, as if she was out of her soul, "Elder Gona, don't worry, this matter is ...... I'll think about it carefully. ”

Seeing this, Elder Gona knew that what she wanted to convey had been conveyed, and although she felt that this was a bit cruel, she had to do it for the sake of the big picture.

After comforting Rachel, Elder Gona slowly left the room, leaving Rachel alone and curled up again.

It seems that only in this way can I warm my heart and body a little. (To be continued......)
