Main quest ......

Side quests......

When the safe house stabilized, Cheng Lin stood firm and shook his dizzy head, with a strange look on his face.

Is there a new trick to this mission?

In the past, tasks were only distributed in order, but this time it's good, and there is a main line and branch lines.

"But it's a lot clearer than before, the main quest is 'purification', well, I'm not sure what that means, but obviously, if you want to guess, it's very likely to have something to do with the darkness of the World Tree."

"As for side quests...... Save the Krum ...... I can't tell what it is, what is Krum? Slime's relatives? ”

These mixed thoughts were messing around in Cheng Lin's head, and he rubbed his temples and thought: Let's complete the first stage of the task first.

Task: Get informed

……

Making up his mind, Cheng Lin did not rashly walk out of the safe house, but looked around with the help of the window, outside the window was a dense forest, the branches of the World Tree supported the world, and under the rest of the shade, there were countless strange plant species, which jointly built this ecosystem.

Cheng Lin observed for more than ten minutes and confirmed that there were no elves around, so he pushed open the door of the safe house and walked out.

The place where the safe house fell was not on the surface, but on a branch, judging from the thickness of the branch, it should also be one of the branches of the World Tree, but it is definitely not the main branch, and it cannot even be found from the sky, if you make an analogy, the World Tree is like the Himalayas in memory, and the branch under your feet is a stream whose name no one knows.

However, even the "stream" has an astonishing thickness, its diameter is at least five or six meters, and there is a huge bird's nest on it, which has no eggs in it, and it is very dilapidated, and it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.

"The branches are so big, you can see how big the World Tree is, no wonder it can support an entire continent."

Cheng Lin stroked the branch and exclaimed.

He got up and walked to the end of the branches, which were still dozens of meters away from the ground, and he had seen from a bird's-eye perspective in the sky before, lacking understanding of the depth of the entire forest, until this moment, he found that this forest had many levels, such as the lowest level of the surface where plants and ordinary trees grew, and upward, tens of meters and hundreds of meters high, the branches of the World Tree spread, which is equivalent to setting up a lot of "tracks" in the air, which is quite magical.

Cheng Lin is standing on the second floor at the moment, the wind seems to be blowing eternally in the elven forest, and the countless green branches and leaves blown by the fresh air are shaking like wheat waves, extremely beautiful, only in the far west, can a black line be faintly seen.

As for the place a little closer, there seems to be a "city", Cheng Lin is not sure if it is or not, he can only guess by relying on the perspective of being in the air.

"Well, if you want to know the situation, you obviously need to ask an elf."

"But the way I look...... Once discovered, are you afraid that you will be caught and interrogated instantly? After all, although humans and elves look similar, they still look very different at first glance, how do I infiltrate the elf city? ”

Cheng Lin seems to be talking to himself, but in fact he is trying to talk to the "program".

Many deduction experiences have told him that the so-called "task" is actually never difficult, all he needs to experience is the plot, just like his own positioning, a "traveler", the deduction program is like a tour guide who likes to play tricks, and will not deliberately make things difficult for him, on the contrary, talk well, and you will get its help.

Just like now, when Cheng Lin asked this question for a few seconds, new information came to mind:

[You stand on a tree branch and look at the city in the distance, you want to go over and find an elf to understand the situation, but it is inconvenient to sneak in]

[You have received the temporary title "Wind Journeyer"]

["Wind Journey": When you stand in the wind, you can get the blessing of the wind god, melt into the wind, and become invisible (limitation: when the wind is insufficient, you will not be able to turn on this state)]

Cheng Lin finished reading these messages, and the information in his mind turned into a pale golden torrent and entered his body, and he immediately understood the use of this "title", which is similar to the "Blizzard Child" obtained last time, it is a state, no need to consume aura, but it needs specific conditions to open, more like some kind of buff with limitations, and, this is temporary.

"Blend into the wind......"

Cheng Lin opened his eyes and digested the information in his mind, at this time, there was just a wind blowing, he only felt that the pores on the surface of his skin were opened, as if he was welcoming and enjoying something, in the dense forest, Cheng Lin stood on the branch, suddenly jumped and jumped down, however, he did not fall like a stone, but in mid-air, his body began to fade, fade, gradually disappear, and became invisible.

Not only that, Cheng Lin in the invisible state has also gained an ability similar to "flying", which can float forward with the help of the wind.

This feeling is very strange, if you have to describe it, it is like an astronaut walking in weightlessness in space, every step, light and fluttering, no weight, the only problem is that he can only go with the wind, but he can not go against the wind with a slight tilt.

Luckily, the wind was blowing towards the city.

……

"Huhuhu......"

In the Forest of the Elves, the wind is eternal, and most of the time of the year is blown by the wind, and its frequency is second only to the sun and the double moon.

Cheng Lin turned into the wind, like a feather, fluttering in the wind, and slowly, approached the elf city.

It's really amazing, there is a thick and tall city wall outside the whole city, it is actually made of some kind of trees, and the trees grow extremely compactly, so it seems, this city wall seems to be a large "fence", only in a specific place to open the city gate, the city gate is also wood, it seems that there is no "reinforced concrete" building structure here, all the buildings, are taken from this large forest.

The walls were extremely high, like a barrel in a large forest, and on the western side of the wall, it was clearly made into a defensive fortress, and many elves stood on top of the wall.

They wear close-fitting armor that glows in the sunlight.

"Most of the armor is plants, and the key parts are obviously metal, which shows that the elven civilization has mastered the smelting of metal, well, since it can't be seen above, it means that the smelting site should be underground."

Cheng Lin floated in the wind and thought.

The elves in armor and armed with bows and swords seem to be males, well, considering that they are highly similar to humans, let's divide them into men and women, and most of these warriors are male, which is easy to judge, they are taller and stronger, occasionally shouting something, and their voices seem more powerful.

Females, on the other hand, are obviously much more petite, distinguishing between male and female, and are often the easiest to judge from their body size, especially in mammals, of course, there are a few special.

As for the difference from the face...... Well, that's obviously a bit difficult.

"It's worthy of an elf, both men and women are so good-looking."

Cheng Lin couldn't help but sigh.

Putting aside the influence of "exoticism", judging from the facial features, the appearance of these elves, whether male or female, belongs to the level of anchors at the lowest level on the earth, or natural anchors who have not been p, and the excellent ones among them even far exceed the stars in fashion magazines.

Flying over the high city wall, Cheng Lin didn't attract any of the elves' attention.

He looked away and began to survey the city.

Well, objectively speaking, the development level of this city is obviously not high, but it is also equivalent to the level of the Qin and Han dynasties, high-rise buildings and palaces built of wood, evenly distributed in the city, the whole city is erected on the basis of the world tree, from a high altitude, the city is unexpectedly very planning, although it is not the kind of stiff straight line cutting house layout, but it is also beautiful and concise enough, especially those erected on the tree "road", extending in all directions, not only flat, but also three-dimensional height, it looks like fiercely, It even smells like an overpass.

On these roads, there are many vehicles running, the carriages resembling cups rolled up from leaves, not rectangular but oval, and the "horses" pulling the carts are some kind of strange animals, which look like short-nosed pigs, but can walk on the ground in trees.

The elves drove and transported goods, and the whole city was unexpectedly lively.

Merely...... Beneath this lively surface, there is a strong sense of tension.

"It's like...... Wartime state, yes, wartime state. Cheng Lin thought about it and described it like this.

The busyness of the whole city is not the prosperity of a state of peace, but the busyness of wartime.

"It seems that the situation in the Elven Court is not stable, is the problem in the World Tree?" Cheng Lin thought to himself.

He decided to quickly find someone to ask.

Of course, the choice needs to be carefully considered.

Those elven soldiers were obviously not a good choice, and transporting elves was not very reliable.

"It's best to find a resident, it's best to have a higher status, know more accurate information, and avoid the attention of other elves and ask alone...... It seems that these elves are not very powerful, but there are many with high cultivation, and for the sake of my current cultivation, it is better to find a weaker ......"

Cheng Lin drifted with the wind in the middle of the city, constantly adjusting his direction, and began to look down on the earth, looking for a target.

Judging by the grandeur and distribution of the buildings, he could discern the approximate social hierarchy of the inhabitants, and he skipped the periphery, even though the inhabitants were more manageable, and looked instead towards the main city.

Suddenly, as his gaze swept over the main city, he paused.

……

On a path woven by thin vines, a thin female elf was walking with her head bowed.
