"Poetry of Iron" (21)

Han Dong stood behind me and said, "It's almost over, we still have business." Besides, you know what this thing is, and you'll regret it. ”

I didn't quite understand what Han Dong meant, and all the elves around him bowed their heads respectfully. A few adventurers on the side actually came around, and one of them handed over a wooden bowl and said, "Lord Diamond-level adventurer, I have a bowl here, you can use it to drink first." ”

I took the bowl, lowered my mask, took the water, drank two bowls, and handed the bowl back to my heart's content.

I realized that these adventurers seemed to be whispering about me, and that most of their masks were silver and copper levels.

Han Dong walked over and grabbed my hand, and led me to the so-called World Tree in front of me.

The tree is completely enclosed inside Moon City, and from the outside, you can only see the tall city wall, but you can't see the giant tree in the center.

And in the middle of the big tree is a hollow, which should be what the soldiers said before. That is, where the royal palace of Moon City is located, Han Dong led me to hover from the vines that were wrapped around it.

At the door of the tree cave, the two soldiers asked us to show our skin again and explain our intentions, and Han Dong said again and then lifted his sleeves.

And I continued to learn to lift the joint of the armor, and the soldier reached out and grabbed Han Dong. The other choked me so hard that I gritted my teeth and felt pain.

The pinch turned red, and the soldier let go of his head and said, "Adventurer, please forgive me." ”

Han Dong dragged me into the hollow of the World Tree again, which was divided into many rooms by a vine wall. The same Moon Fountain has one more than ten meters inside the hollow of the World Tree, and I saw elven males bathing under the spring. The washed water trickles out through the crevices of the vines below, and then snaked down.

I began to look curiously at the vines, which meander outwards from the inside of the World Tree.

A feeling of nausea came from my stomach, and I put my hand on top of the mask.

"That's right." Han Dong said.

"Didn't you say it was bath water earlier?" I said.

"This Moon Spring is the sap converted by the roots of the World Tree after absorbing the water from the depths below, and it was originally supplied by the World Tree upwards for its own growth. This tree hole was dug by the elves themselves, and the vines were also made by the elves with magic. The Moon Spring is the water source borrowed by the elves from the World Tree, and the water source is extracted from the inside of the World Tree by the vines of the tree for the elves to use. After that, the entire elven race was supplied according to class, and the vines extended from the royal family to the commoners in the city, and finally to the surrounding and even the farthest villages. Water can be drunk and washed, but elves are a little different from humans. The sweat transformed by the body has a sweet smell, so the spring water is slightly sweet. Han Dong said.

"Didn't you say it sooner?" I coughed several times.

"In the beginning, the elves didn't have Moon City, and they relied on ordinary trees to make Moon Springs to provide water. Of course, after having Moon City, only those who have been to the World Tree Tree Cave know about this matter, and almost everyone who comes to Moon City drinks this spring water. I didn't drink less before I knew it, and I always wanted to remind you that you were just in too much of a hurry. Of course, if I think about it, I should have understood the problem of Moon Spring, but unfortunately I didn't find out earlier. Han Dong said.

"If you think about it, you can find out? Moon Spring is sweet, because of the elves, who knows? I said.

"Anyone who has been on the battlefield knows that humans, elves, demons, and orcs are salty, sweet, sour, and bitter respectively. Otherwise, why do you think the demons attacked the elven village and kidnapped the elves? What can you do when you bring it back? Not for the sake of eating. Han Dong said.
