Imagination and reality are completely different things, Nangong Rong already understands this very well, but even if the young man has such an awareness in his heart, he still fell into a state of confusion when he saw the elf city, and the whole person was stunned and froze in place on the spot.

Based on the tree that was transformed into a watchtower, the city with pointed ears must have been built on trees, consisting of many wooden houses reinforced by magic, with a large number of rattan bridges between the trees, and some flowers and plants planted on the thick branches of the wooden houses, of course, there must be some edible and even medicinal varieties.

But the reality is that there are so few trees so large that they can build wooden houses on their branches, and the few that are occasionally found have been requisitioned by the army, and it is impossible to use them to settle down for civilians.

Therefore, the elves live on the ground, building a simple grass hut next to the trees of ordinary size, carefully taking care of plants and fungi such as berries and mushrooms in the nearby open space, and even children are helping to gather food instead of playing happily in groups, which is not as tall as Nangong Rong imagined.

The men who were in charge of greeting Angellot next to the teleportation array and leading the way to meet the Council of Elders had a completely different temperament from ordinary soldiers, more like the guards guys, who turned a blind eye to the civilians around them, and led the team straight through their curious gazes.

It can be seen that many people recognized Angellot, and they stopped their work and bowed to the girl, but no one took the initiative to approach and chat with her, it is estimated that a few guys who led the way in front of them were very eye-catching on the surface of their clothes, and they did not know what kind of flower-like coat of arms made everyone afraid, so they did not gather around and pull the girl to talk about family life, and introduce her to the object while stuffing gifts or something into her hand.

"I always feel that it's a little different from what I imagined. Nangong Rong looked at the pointed ears nearby who were also looking at them with curious eyes, and couldn't help but sigh to himself, "Where is this what a city looks like, it's clearly a temporary settlement, not even a village, right?"

Octavil nodded in agreement with the boy's words, she knew it was inappropriate, but she couldn't think of anything else but the makeshift girl. Everything here is too rudimentary, and it doesn't look like a city built by a high-level civilized race.

"I don't want to admit it, but could this place be the same as the slums in Radana?"

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess's brain hole began to attack again, but if you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong, but it is very reasonable.

It's a pity that she guessed wrong, Angelot, who heard the girl's question, immediately turned around and raised her index finger and waved it gently: "No, no, no, this is not a slum, and it is not our city." As Nangong Rong said, this is a temporary settlement, which is used to house refugees. ”

After hearing the elf girl say this, the young man and his happy friends suddenly showed a look of sudden realization on their faces.

Feeling very embarrassed, Octavier touched the bridge of his nose and subconsciously looked away: "Ahahaha, so that's the case." Indeed, you said earlier that you have recaptured a large amount of lost territory from the Abyss, and many of the refugees you have collected have not had time to settle properly, so this is the place where you temporarily resettled the refugees?"

"Well, because there are too many refugees, the city can't accommodate all of them, so I can only let them live in the wilderness first. Many of the Trees of Life were destroyed during the Abyss Invasion before, and now that most of the resources are being used in war, it is difficult to create new Trees of Life for people to live in in a short period of time, so it is a last resort for them to camp like this. ”

Nangong Rong noticed something that seemed to be very important in Angelott's words: "What does the Tree of Life mean, it won't be the kind of main base that makes farmers collect resources, right?"

When the elf girl heard this, she suddenly cried and laughed, raised her hand and scratched her scalp and said speechlessly: "This is a strange setting, although it feels like it does make sense." In fact, the Tree of Life is a giant tree that we have created with the energy extracted from the leylines, which can move around, can also take root and survive in the desert, and provides a large number of houses and planting areas inside, and is a mobile city that can accommodate nearly 10,000 people. ”

Angellot seemed to be proud, but in this pride the boy and the others found something that would not be so surprising, that is, the population of pointy ears was not very large. At least for the human race, which can gather tens of thousands of troops at every turn to fight the abyss, a city with a population of 10,000 is almost the same as a town.

But considering the fact that basically every adult in this group of pointy ears is a mid-level magician...... An ordinary human army of tens of thousands of people may really be nothing.

As an old bird who has been fighting with the abyss for a long time, Lin Weiyin has always been very sensitive to tactics, and immediately asked with a gleng of air from his nostrils: "Since there is a mobile city, then there should also be a mobile fortress, right?" Have you made a giant tree specially used for war, and used it as the core to clear the nearby abyss while pushing forward, and it is easy to break through the opponent's defense line. ”

Of course, the premise is that the people who are responsible for guarding the defense line are all cannon fodder-level miscellaneous soldiers, and I am afraid that it will not be so easy to replace the group of elites brought by Miss Trist.

Unexpectedly, the person who answered this time was the captain of the guard who led the way in front, and I don't know if he really wanted to talk or felt that Angelot, who answered the question anyway, couldn't hide the secret, so it was better to say it directly to deter the young man and the others: "We did create this kind of tree, and we have similar plans, and after completing the preparations, we will cross the mountain range and attack the abyss." As long as the giant tree is around, no amount of monsters is enough, and it's time to deal with them once and for all. ”

A certain pair of cheap brothers and sisters obviously didn't understand, and Octavier, who understood, shrugged her shoulders indifferently and said that she didn't care. After all, the empire has done such a thing as showing off her muscles, and the eldest princess will naturally get used to it when she sees it a lot - not to mention that she has never seen each other's muscles with her own eyes.

What the eldest princess really saw was the incredible civil technology of the elves.

The forest, which seemed to never end, suddenly disappeared, and in front of them was a huge clearing, in which not a single tree grew, because it was completely occupied by the trunk of a different tree, and only between the crevices of the roots of the trees on the other side of the ground grew a large number of flowers and plants.

There is only one tree in this open space that can barely be seen!

It was a bit of a misappropriation to say that it was towering, but at least the tree was as tall as a mountain, and there was no kind old man's face on the trunk, and there were no wooden houses on the branches, but many elves could be seen moving around on the branches, so it was likely that they lived inside the trees.

In addition, there are many other plants and animals living on the skin of the trees, and there is even a waterfall that falls straight from the top of the tree, along the trunk of the tree to provide water to the creatures on the branches, and finally falls on the surface of the tree to be absorbed cleanly, if nothing else, some kind of water circulation system.

The seven-colored rainbow produced by the waterfall in the sunlight almost blinded the eyes of the kryptonite dog of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

Had it not been for the knowledge that the tree was a creation of the Elves, Octavir would have almost thought it was some unimaginable miracle. At least for now, two humans of different forces can't make such a huge object, and the little monsters of the Sitneylanians can compare with the elves.

The eldest princess has been convinced that the elves do not need to rely on external reinforcements and firmly believe that they can repel the abyss on their own, so the biggest reason for her group - to come and help fight the abyss together - has become dispensable, at least it will not be taken very seriously.

"It's a bit of a headache, is it really going to be deported?"

Nangong Rong, who was admiring the magnificent figure of the Tree of Life, seemed to hear Octavier's soft whisper, and immediately turned his head and asked strangely, "What did you say?"

"No, I'm just wondering what the elves are going to do for us at lunch. ”

"Big husband. Even if the other party's face is almost pale, as long as it doesn't entertain us with fangs and claws or an attack full of corrosive energy. ”

This is indeed the truth, Octavir quickly threw the worries in his heart out of the clouds under the persuasion of the young man, and prepared to meet the big people with pointed ears.

Several guards brought everyone into the interior of the Tree of Life, which was decorated with a large number of luminous plants, the air was also very fresh, and the temperature was also very suitable, which couldn't help but remind Nangong Rong of a large shopping mall with lights and air conditioners on, the only difference was that the floor, walls, and ceilings were all pure wood.

The spacious [Hall] was crowded with people, and when he finally came to the side of the teleportation array between the floors, Nangong Rong, who was sweating and had messy hair, felt that he was almost no different from the sardines that had been stuffed in the can for months.

Why are there so many people, such a stupid question was swallowed back by the boy as soon as it came to his lips, if there was still room for people to live inside the trees, would the elves let their refugees live in the wild?

"Ahh Nangong Rong changed his words in time and replaced his question with a sigh, so as not to attract hatred and be beaten to death by the sharp-eared people, "Is it really okay if you simply settle refugees like that?"

"The production of various daily necessities is already accelerating, and now it is not a cold winter, so it doesn't matter for the time being. After the captain of the guard walked into the teleportation array, he beckoned to the young man and the others, motioned for them to stand up, and said calmly, "They just live in poor conditions, but the supply of clothes and food is very sufficient, and they can grow crops on their own in the forest, so there is nothing to worry about before the weather gets cold." ”

Speaking of which, Nangong Rong also saw an elf cultivating crops with magic on the road, and after a flash of light, the plants that would have taken a while to bear fruit fell and bore fruit at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming one of the sources of the family's rations today.

The only consumption during this period is probably only the caster's mental power and magic power, as well as the nutrients in the soil. Moreover, after collecting the fruit, the caster took out a packet of powder and poured it on the ground, presumably to replenish the nutrients in the soil so as not to damage the environment here.

Why don't this race open their eyes, even if they openly open them, they won't say anything at all!But it is precisely because of these talents that make people envy, jealous and hate, that the elves will have too much arrogance and may refuse the help and contact requests provided by Nangong Rong and his party, because they feel that it is not necessary at all.

What happened next also confirmed Octavier's suspicions, as the Guards eventually led them into a room about the size of a normal bedroom, rather than a conference room that could accommodate dozens or hundreds of people.

On the wooden shelf in the center of the room was a round and smooth crystal ball, and the light that bloomed from it projected the faces of several uncles and aunts in mid-air. Of course, even uncles and aunts still have a look far beyond that of film and television stars, so Nangong Rong didn't feel nervous when he saw it.

Nearby Octavier and Lin Weiyin's bodies suddenly trembled violently involuntarily, both of them sensed the fluctuations of magic power, and could detect the terrifying aura of those uncles and aunts in the projection transmitted through the crystal ball.

Although their strength is not comparable to Stephanie's deity, they are superior in numbers, and it is no problem to join hands to bully the rookie who has just graduated from the novice village.

Presumably, these guys who seem to be uncles and aunts, but whose actual age is estimated to be old monsters, are planning to give visitors from another world a dismount, and they almost succeeded, Octavir and Lin Weiyin were so shocked that they didn't even dare to take a breath at the moment - but Nangong Rong, an outlier, didn't know anything about magic, let alone detect the fluctuation of magic power, so he was not affected in any way.

"Yo, guys, it's a pleasure to meet you. In the ghostly expression of the uncle and aunt on the other side of the crystal ball, the young man raised his hand and smiled very friendly and said, "My name is Nangong Rong, what do you call me?"

Said that the body shook and released a little momentum, and according to the report, it seemed that the strength of the visitor was completely calmed to the royal road, and it was kicked into the corner of the pimple by a frivolous greeting!?
