Chapter 358: The Aliens Are Coming
"Then are you still fainting?" Cheng Lin interrupted her and asked curiously.
"......" Ai Lu stopped, and then didn't speak, her fingers subconsciously pinched the corners of her clothes, this action looked particularly "girly".
After pinching it twice, Ai Lu suddenly woke up and this action was a little inappropriate, so she hurriedly stopped, lowered her head, exhaled softly, and complained in her heart:
"Ailu, Ailu, what's the matter with you? Obviously they are already adults, and they are still like this in the face of the divine envoys...... It's simply unorthodox. ”
However, despite her self-criticism, she also felt a little weird.
I don't know why, although I met this oracle for the first time, but ...... Unexpectedly, there was a sense of familiarity.
It's like ...... It's the same as facing the evil god......
Shaking her head, cutting off the strange thought, Ai Lu resumed answering Cheng Lin's inquiry.
After some questions and answers, Cheng Lin finally had a basic understanding of the current situation of the elf clan.
One hundred and fifty years is not enough to restore the prosperity of the entire race, and it is fortunate to catch up with the peak of a wave of births, so the royal capital has somewhat regained some of the grandeur of the past.
It's just that due to the limitation of the number of people, the territory of the Elven Royal Court has to shrink a lot, which is also the reason why Cheng Lin has barely seen the elven town after he landed on the floating land.
As for the deceased...... Some of those soldiers died of illness or old age, and some had been promoted to officials at all levels and became the backbone of the new royal court.
"Is the Elf King still in charge of Luo Jia? …… The teacher mentioned it before. Cheng Lin covered up his slip of the tongue and asked.
Ai Lu nodded and said, "Yes, it's just that Your Majesty has already had the intention of abdicating in the past two years, and is looking for a new person, his age...... After all, it was gradually overwhelmed. ”
Seeing the elf girl sigh, Cheng Lin pursed her lips.
He didn't know much about Luo Jia, but he only remembered the demeanor of this elf who slashed out with a fiery sword in the face of overwhelming enemies.
The only pity is that the sword is more inclined to one-on-one enemies than group attacks, so the achievements are not high, but he knows very well that Luo Jia's combat power back then was already extraordinary, if he hadn't opened the ...... Not an opponent at all.
"I don't know what situation he has grown up to after more than a hundred years?"
Thinking in his heart, Cheng Lin remembered his name again and asked, "I...... The teacher once said, you have a friend named Margaret, is she still in the army? ”
At the mention of this name, the white and smooth face of the elf girl in front of her suddenly dimmed.
After a moment, she whispered, "Margaret...... He died twenty years ago. ”
"Oh?"
"Because of the wound in the lungs," said Elu, sighing, "she once injured her lungs during the defense of Krum, and she was pressed down by her youth, but later, it became a stubborn disease, although His Majesty used various methods to heal it, but it still did not work, because of the injury could no longer fight, had to retire from the army, and later served as an archery instructor in the army, and taught many good disciples, but it is a pity...... After all, it didn't survive that winter. ”
"Sorry to bring this up."
"It's okay, it's already in the past." Ai Lu smiled reluctantly, twenty years is enough time to soothe the heartache.
After pondering for a few seconds, Cheng Lin bypassed the topic and finally asked about the Thirteen Divisions.
Ai Lu hesitated, but still told the whole story, which made Cheng Lin quite interested, especially for the situation in the elven world at the beginning of the projection, he was very curious.
Previously, he had repeatedly guessed what the logic of projection was.
I am also very curious, when the projection is gradually solidifying, if you stand inside the projection and look out, what kind of scene will it be?
Now, Elu's narrative has helped him lift a bit of the fog.
Unfortunately, this made him even more confused about the inner workings of projection.
"The End...... Large swaths of the forest disappear...... You can also sense the presence of the bimoon...... You can see another world...... Interesting, quite interesting. ”
Cheng Lin subconsciously rubbed his chin with his fingers, it must have been a very magical scene, you can think of how great the impact on the entire Elf Royal Court was at that time.
“…… We sent scouts to hide in the shadows...... You are observing, everyone is very nervous, when I came here just now, I happened to hear the latest news, the largest team, has approached the warning range of the royal capital, Your Majesty is not ready to wait any longer, wants to take the initiative to attack, and officially meet with that team. ”
Eru spoke quickly.
"What do you say? The royal court is ready to contact them head-on?! Hearing this news, Cheng Lin, who was calm just now, suddenly couldn't sit still, which was much faster than he imagined.
He guessed that the Thirteen Divisions would inevitably move towards the World Tree, and he also guessed the possible reaction of the Elven Royal Court.
But I didn't expect the Thirteen Divisions to come so quickly!
According to Ailu's description, it seems that these people directly used a helicopter to lift the off-road vehicle to the floating land, and then formed a convoy, and did not delay in exploring the forest, but went directly to the royal capital?
"So reckless?"
Cheng Lin frowned, this disrupted his previous plan, especially the contact between the two civilizations was unexpectedly advanced, but at this time, he had just contacted Ai Lu!
"Maybe it's already in contact, after all, it took a lot of time for me to come here and talk to you." Eru corrected.
Cheng Lin took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly serious.
He got up and said, "I hope to see the Elf King Luo Jia immediately, if there is something about the other world, I want to talk to him!" ”
"Won't you go and get the seed of life first?" Eru got up as well.
"There's not much difference between taking that thing early and getting it late, and here, if I go early and go late, it may lead to completely different consequences!"
“…… Follow your will, come with me, and I will take you directly to your Majesty. Ai Lu sensed Cheng Lin's seriousness and nervousness, and probably guessed the big things that might be involved, so she immediately pushed open the door and took the lead forward, leading Cheng Lin up the stone steps.
She had endless questions in her mind, but she wisely didn't ask them at this time.
She had a hunch that when the divine envoy saw Luo Jia, many of her and even the entire royal court might be answered!
"Grand Priest?!"
"You're out?"
Dungeon doorway.
Grace and the officers here were all standing here, ready to rush into the dungeon at any moment, and at this moment, they were relieved to see that Elu's figure was gradually becoming clear on the dark stone steps.
However, in the next second, they saw the figure in prison clothes following behind Ailu.
"Be careful!"
"Alert!"
A group of soldiers were shocked and drew their swords one after another, and several officers were filled with magical power on their bodies, as if the next moment, they were about to blast over with an attack spell.
"Stop! All lay down their arms! ”
Seeing this, Ai Lu raised his eyebrows and scolded sharply, many soldiers were stunned, and then subconsciously put away their weapons, and just as Ai Lu was about to briefly explain a few words, suddenly, everyone present sensed something at the same time, and suddenly turned their heads to look at infinity.
Cheng Lin, who had just stepped on the last stone step, also raised his head consciously and looked out of the city!
The interrogation room is located on a branch of the World Tree in the outer city, so if you look out into the distance from here, you can see something far away.
In the past, the end of the line of sight was nothing more than lush trees.
However, at this moment, in that far away place, there was a brilliant streamer rising from the ground!
The streamer was elongated, needle-shaped, blue, sharp and glaring at the tip, followed by a streamlined beam of light that resembled a bullet, and at the micro end, it rendered a flame like a comet's tail.
The streamer rises from the ground, so striking that no one can ignore it, its trajectory is a standard parabola, and when it reaches the apex of the highest point, it visually seems to be engraved into the sun.
After that, it began to fall, faster and faster, faster and faster, and finally fell somewhere in the forest, exploding, rendering a large area of light and flames, which would probably be extremely beautiful if it was dark.
And beauty often goes hand in hand with murder.
"Ahh It's the holy artifact 'Aurora'! ”
"It's Harold! Harold used the 'Aurora'! ”
"What happened? Could it be that the Striker is already at war with that group of otherworldly creatures?! ”
Grace and the others turned pale and exclaimed.
Cheng Lin's heart sank suddenly, and he pulled Grace, the middle priest, and asked, "What is the Holy Artifact Aurora?" And who is Harold?! ”
Grace was obviously frightened, and replied in a trance: "Aurora is an extremely powerful magic weapon of our clan, and its owner is Harold, who is also the best archery genius in the past hundred years!" He is a disciple of Lord Margaret, and a star officer in the army, and is highly regarded by His Majesty......"
Officer?
Margaret's disciple?
Archery genius?
Unfortunately, that's not the answer I want to hear.
Cheng Lin took a deep breath, let go of Grace, strode forward, and glanced at Ailu, "I think, we have to hurry." ”
……
……
Thirteen Divisions.
Dozens of off-road vehicles painted in army green finally stopped, the motor roared low, and the key inserted near the steering wheel trembled slightly with the carriage.
Some of the Tris's lapels who accompanied him jumped out of the car and stood solemnly on both sides, while others simply turned over and climbed onto the roof of the car, pulled out their firearms, and looked ahead.
His demeanor was solemn.
"All on alert! Don't be reckless! ”
He Huntwu's voice was amplified by the aura, accompanied by the never-ending wind in the forest, and penetrated into the ears of every individual in the team of hundreds of people.
The head of the thirteen divisions, the head of the legal theory of this exploration team, kicked the car door, turned over and jumped up, his fat was as light as a feather, stepping on the roof of the car, his dark face, a pair of small eyes staring straight ahead.
Behind him, the masters of the company, as well as other major divisions and bureaus who rushed to "help", jumped on the roof of the car and looked forward.
In the back, the research teams in the imperial capital and the magic capital nervously poked their heads out of the car window, but they couldn't see what was happening in front of them anyway.
Overhead, several helicopters rumbled and hovered above, their propellers spinning desperately, and the machine gunners sitting in the cabin had quietly raised their muzzles slightly to ensure air-to-ground barrage coverage from the first perspective.
The atmosphere instantly calmed down.
All eyes were on the front of the convoy.
The road that was originally straight and wide rose at this moment with thick black smoke, and through the black smoke, you could see that the branches of the world tree were blasted out of a round, huge, and delicate hole that was combined with ferocity!
Just now, the perception powerhouse in the team issued an early warning, and then, a bright blue light rose from the ground, flew into the nine heavens, and then fell fiercely, "just rightly" blowing up the road where the convoy was going!
"Extremely high precision, extremely strong power control, ...... power Great, not like an attack...... More like ...... Assertion of sovereignty. ”
Behind He Jiawu, in a certain car, Shen Shanjing, the head of the Ninth Division, who also came to help in the battle, squinted his eyes and muttered to himself.
"Declaring sovereignty? What do you mean......" Next to the car, a snow-white arm was resting on the open camouflage door, and Huang Yin, who was wearing a rare uniform with small lapels, was wearing a brand-name sunglasses, and her small eyebrows were wrinkled tightly.
In the car, there are also two small brain melons curiously preparing to poke out.
"I guess...... It's them who came. Shen Shanjing said in a deep voice.
"Who are they?"
There was a slightly immature question in the car.
Then, a slightly grinning young voice responded, "Probably...... It's an alien, right? ”
