Chapter 380: A Journey to the Past
"The elves rarely have spirit ore, I don't know if it's a lack of mineral deposits, or no mining at all, so I need to get some spirit ore from Tris, the previous white roses have been almost consumed, and the refining furnace is a big money-burner, and the demand for spiritual energy is higher after being promoted to the fourth grade, so you must reserve some."
"I don't need magic weapons, and as for firearms, I can't use them...... At present, what is lacking is only the cultivation exercises above the fourth grade, as well as the ability ......"
Although these can also be exchanged through the Nine Divisions, it is ...... Cheng Lin is still prepared to be prepared, prepare more hole cards, and have the opportunity to get the exercises and abilities in advance, there is no reason not to take them.
"But it is conceivable that there will definitely be reservations in this special department."
These "self-filling" trading goods only account for a small part, Cheng Lin's heart is still not black enough, and most of them are still considered for the elf clan.
Books account for a considerable proportion of the items traded, although the text is not understood, but since the elves have a long lifespan, they can slowly analyze and learn Chinese.
Human beings can figure out the meaning of strange oracle bone inscriptions through their intelligence, and there is no reason why elves can't do it.
"As long as they can digest some of the knowledge in these books, it will be enough to revolutionize the entire civilization."
In addition to books, there are also a large number of industrial products and manufacturing drawings.
This is to upgrade the industrial level of the Elf Royal Court, as well as a large number of civilian goods and entertainment content, but due to the lack of electricity, there is very little room for choice.
Then there are all kinds of bizarre gadgets, such as toys and food.
The rest is made up with gold.
"Whoa."
Turning the last page, Cheng Lin put the booklet on the table, there is still time, with the continuous communication between the two sides, this list may be expanded, but this is no longer something he needs to consider.
"The rest just have to wait."
Cheng Lin leaned back on the solid wood seat, stared at the gorgeous chandelier hanging on the roof, and muttered, and then, exhaustion and sleepiness flooded him like a tide.
……
The second day of the projection.
The whole city is getting busier and busier, and several helicopters have been added, probably the local military district that the special department temporarily communicated, and the reinforcements carried out, Cheng Lin also came forward to coordinate several times in the morning, and in the afternoon, the whole process became smoother and smoother, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner.
There is no longer any need for Cheng Lin to interfere more.
It's another evening.
The red-hot clouds were piled up in the sky, wisps of light, shining so that the faces of the busy people below were red.
"Ugh."
Standing on one of the cloisters in the middle of the city.
Cheng Lin looked at the busy scene below and sighed softly, which reminded him of the busy docks and ports.
"What are you sighing about?" Suddenly, a familiar voice floated from behind him, Cheng Lin turned to look, Ai Lu holding a magic wand walked over, her pure eyes were like a mirror lake, reflecting a figure shrouded in black robes.
"Sigh? Is there one? Cheng Lin was stunned and said.
"Absolutely." Eru said seriously.
Cheng Lin smiled and said with a wry smile: "I didn't even find it myself." ”
"Is there anything bothering you?" Elu came closer and asked softly.
Cheng Lin held the railing with both hands, shook his head, and nodded: "Not really...... Everything is fine, there is no war, everyone does business with harmony, it's really good. ”
"Then why sigh?"
"Hmm...... It's probably ......" Cheng Lin glanced at the sunset on the western horizon, "The sunset is infinitely good, but it's just near dusk." ”
Ai Lu was confused, as if she didn't understand, and after a while, she said tentatively: "Although I don't understand much, I can guess something, the fusion of the world...... I mean, projection, it's almost over, right? ”
"I don't know, but according to experience, there should be some time, maybe it can last a day, maybe not."
"So...... When the projection disappears, will the divine envoy leave? ”
"Yes, not only me, but also them, all humans, will leave, and everything will return to the way it was." Cheng Lin nodded.
“…… I experienced this distinction more than 100 years ago. Eru said suddenly.
Cheng Lin was silent.
He knew that this elf girl was referring to the time when the "evil god" left, and he thought it was a goodbye at first, but he thought that there would be a day of goodbye, but it was just ......
"This time it's over, it's really goodbye...... Right? Cheng Lin suddenly became a little uncertain.
After all, he couldn't figure out the deduction procedure either.
Who knows...... Will there be any tricks in the future?
"Okay, let's not talk about this, since I don't need to take care of it here, then while the projection is still there, we have to hurry up and get down to business." Cheng Lin exhaled, raised his tone, and said.
"...... get down to business? We're ......," Eru froze.
"Have you forgotten my real mission here?" Cheng Lin smiled.
"Ahh Seed of Life! Eru whispered.
"Yes, now, can you take me to pick it up?"
The elf girl nodded vigorously and said, "Of course! ”
……
"Chirp!"
The Seed of Life is hidden in the World Tree, so they still need to rush back to the royal capital.
Eru gave the order, and soon a soldier brought a bluebird over, and the two of them rode together, and Eru tapped the bluebird's head lightly with her wand, and the fellow chirped, and flapped its wings to the west, like a black silhouette, and ran towards the red sunset.
"Back then, I flew from Krum to the World Tree with the gods, and even the route was almost the same."
Standing on the back of the blue bird, today's elf girl is no longer the little girl who hugged the bird's neck tightly and grabbed the feathers for fear of falling, but can stand on it calmly, spread her hands, squint, and be a big girl in the state of memory.
"Well...... This teacher didn't say it," Cheng Lin finally took off his mask, revealed his true face, and quietly looked at Ai Lu who was standing in front of him with his arms outstretched, his expression was a little emotional, and after a while, he hesitated and said, "If it's convenient, can you tell me about that journey at the beginning?" ”
“…… Of course, if you want to hear it...... I remember that the gods had just saved the city of Krum, and then, taking me, to purify the World Tree, I was ...... I don't understand anything yet......"
In the wind.
In the sunset.
Cheng Lin stood quietly, listening to Ai Lu narrating the original story from another perspective, for him, that journey had just passed a few days, but for Ai Lu, that memory had been buried for more than a hundred years......
When she finished the story, the two finally came to the huge "tree hole" above the World Tree again.
Riding the blue bird, flying directly into the tree hole, the gem at the top of the magic wand in Ailu's hand emitted a soft light, illuminating the way ahead, and after a long time, it finally stopped.
"We're here."
Ailu said.
Cheng Lin looked up, and once again saw the seed that was suspended in the huge space, emitting a holy white light.
