Chapter 63: You Need My Help
The elves in the Elven Forest are different from the elves found elsewhere on the continent, not that the elves have changed since they left their homes, but only when they are in the Elven Forest will they show that kind of harmony with their surroundings.
"Morning! it's her! it's the cat! she's bullying me!" the little goblin named Aya flapped her wings and flew behind the elf who came over, her two little arms resting on each other's long ears, and her two little short legs were still kicking leisurely, God knows why she was doing such a pleasant gesture while complaining.
"Heh, you naughty little thing must be provoking others again. Chen smiled as he gently flicked the forehead of the little thing hanging on his ear.
"Nasty, don't flick my head! You have to talk to me, you can't help the cat! She snatched my dinner!" Aya opened her teeth and claws, but she always hung on the elf's ears and refused to come down, and it can be seen that the relationship between the two "people" is usually very good.
The squirrel who returned to Landolia's side couldn't help but laugh, and when she found out that it was a nut that struck, catching, peeling, and eating a set of actions was basically done subconsciously. There's no way, although she's now disguised as a cat lady, and she's gradually getting closer to a cat in her habits, but after all, it's ...... It's still a squirrel.
Landolia didn't speak, her expression was also rare and solemn, she could vaguely feel the strength of the elf named Chen on the other side—the high rank, and even reached the sixth order, which happened to be a line stronger than herself. Landolia is usually crazy, but she's not the kind of person who gets bored enough to get herself into trouble. Although Chen didn't seem to have any malicious intent, after all, it was the other party's territory at the moment, and Landolia didn't dare to be too careless.
"Hello, mage. After calming the little goblin hanging on his ears, Chen made a mage salute to Landolia and said, "I am Chen, the current life priest of the elven clan, and the mother tree has conveyed to me that there is a distinguished guest visiting, I wonder if I can meet him." In the idea conveyed by the Ancient Tree of Life, the description of the visitor is "he" rather than "she", and Chen, as a priest of life, naturally cannot admit his mistake.
"Uh......" Landolia didn't expect the other party to make this request directly, Liu Li's current appearance is not suitable for seeing people, after all, he is still in a box, "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, my student is not in a very good state now." ”
Chen was also stunned when she heard Landolia's answer, she didn't expect the other party to refuse. However, the idea passed on by the ancient tree of life is relatively vague, as a priest, she did not dare to slack off after receiving the summons from the ancient tree, and rushed here as soon as possible, Chen was not clear about Liu Li's state at the moment, and she didn't know how to make a decision for a while.
"Alas, I can't say it clearly, you can come in and see for yourself. Although she is inferior to the other party in terms of strength, Landolia will not have too many worries because of this, and she still decided to let Chen see Liu Li's current state with her own eyes, on the one hand, to reassure the other party, and on the other hand, she also hopes that Chen can have any way to make Liu Li recover as soon as possible. As for the danger, the carriage was her mage tower anyway, and although it was simple, Landolia was still confident that she could stop Chen before she could do anything against her students.
When Chen saw Liu Li's broken body in the elemental pool, he was also shocked. She was not surprised by the severity of Liu Li's injuries, but that this young man was still alive after being injured like this. And as a priestess of life, she felt the majestic vitality in Liu Li's body more obviously. The majestic vitality that can be compared to the Ancient Tree of Life also made her determine Liu Li's identity - it is the junior who returned to the Elven Forest some time ago, the next priest of the Ancient Tree of Life, who mentioned in the mouth.
Although it was the idea directly conveyed by the Ancient Tree of Life, Chen still had some worries in his heart. The Priest of Life has a self-evident position among the elves, and her role is not only to convey the ideas of the ancient tree, but also to protect it. For the distinguished guest that Gu Shu said, Chen was also on guard while being curious, but the moment he recognized Liu Li's identity, the defense in his heart disappeared without a trace - there are not a few people in the world who covet the majestic vitality of the ancient tree of life, but this young man lying in the box does not have to be like this at all, he already has the vitality of no less than the ancient tree.
"Come with me, his situation, I think Gu Shu can help a little. Looking at the nervous squirrel next to him, Chen could see that the catwoman was worried about the boy in the box, and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, even without the help of the ancient tree, he will be fine, the ancient tree just makes him recover faster, and there will be no side effects." ”
"No, no, where's my dinner?" Seeing that a few people were about to leave with that strange box, Aya who hung on Chen's ears was very unhappy, and everyone had dinner for each of them, but she didn't, and this result was completely unacceptable to the little guy.
Landolia didn't have a good idea of this kind of noisy little thing, and Chen knew more about what kind of character this little guy was, so she naturally knew that unless she could solve her dinner problem at this time, there was no way to stop her noise. The two high-level spellcasters glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly at the same time.
Squirrels love nuts, but she doesn't mind sharing them with others at all, otherwise Liu Li wouldn't have gotten so many "snacks" in the swamp. It took two months to come to the Elven Forest, and although most of the area along the way was covered with snow, after entering the Elven Forest realm, the squirrel also collected a lot of nuts, so it was naturally not a problem to give a few small things at this time.
After solving this small trouble, the group of three people took the box containing Liu Li and went to the depths of the Elven Forest.
The Elven Colony is a beautiful place in this woodland in the deepest part of the Elven Forest, the trees are taller than the outer perimeter of the Elven Forest, the vibrant green fills the entire view, and the afterglow of the setting sun casts mottled marks on the ground through the foliage.
Landolia's carriage did not travel here, and there was no road wide enough in the forest for the carriage to move normally, and the carriage was parked in the black hole space of Landolia, and the box containing Liu Li was held behind her by magic.
"Come to me, you need my help. Liu Li's consciousness was still immersed in the communication with the ancient tree of life, and he was ignorant of what was happening in the outside world. In fact, after such a long time, there were not a few words of communication with Gu Shu, the main reason was that Gu Shu's speech speed was really outrageously slow.
Think about it, take the human race, for example. Wells had determined that a war between the Kronos Empire and the Bair Empire would definitely take place, and that would take years for both countries to fight before the war. Elves are a long-lived race, the average life expectancy can reach several times that of humans, and the history of elves is far older than that of humans, and even thousands of years ago, when the four great empires were not established, elves have been living in this forest for many years. As the mother tree of the elven race, the ancient tree of life has existed for an unverifiable time, and it is not surprising that the outrageously slow speed of speech when talking to Liu Li.
The Ancient Tree of Life was a knowledgeable and kind elder, and although he didn't say much to Liu Li, he completely opened his mind, allowing Liu Li to more intuitively feel the operation of the life elements in his body. As one of the first elemental creatures in the world, the Ancient Tree of Life has a far better understanding of the green element than Liu Li imagined. Although like other elements, the nature of the green element in this world is also somewhat broken, but the ancient tree of life has condensed a broken ancient rune through the accumulation of time.
The Ancient Tree of Life did not ask Liu Li about his origins, nor did he ask why he had a life force that was not far behind his own, it opened its mind to Liu Li, and did not even hide the existence of the rune. Liu Li didn't know why this elder valued him so much, but he also knew that he had nothing to reciprocate at this time, so he could only silently keep this matter in his heart.
Landolia and Squirrel became more and more anxious along the way, Liu Li hadn't responded for a long time, and he had been able to respond to the stimuli of the outside world by giving birth to the crystals on the "Return", but since entering the Elven Forest, this reaction had not been seen again. Although the growth of crystals on the "Return" has not stopped, the weapon that has changed from "spear staff" to "hammer staff" has never appeared with any meaningful characters.
As the current life priest of the elf clan, Chen naturally knew that Liu Li was currently in a state of communication with the mother tree, but at this point, she chose to hide it from the two. It has always been a legend in this world that the Ancient Tree of Life has its own consciousness, except for the previous Life Priests, even if there are few people within the Elven Clan who know about it, Chen naturally will not tell outsiders about it.
Although Chen had not left the Elven Forest for hundreds of years, before she took over as the Priest of Life, she had also traveled on the continent for a long time as Heng, so that she would not be incomprehensible to the world. She knew that Landolia and the squirrel would not feel comfortable handing over the boy in the box to someone she had just met today and was not yet familiar with, not even a peace-loving elf.
"Heng, this young man will teach you, take him to the ancient tree. Chen looked at the juniors who were walking towards him and spoke.
"Liu Li, how could this be?" As the next priest of life appointed by the Ancient Tree of Life, Heng naturally also received a message from the Ancient Tree. She knew that a guest would come here next, seeking healing from the Ancient Tree of Life. However, since it was a summons sent by the ancient tree himself, in order to show respect, it was more etiquette for the current priest of life to go to receive him, so he did not go to the outskirts of the forest with the morning. When she saw Landolia, she already had an ominous premonition in her heart, but when she really saw the current state of Liu Li in the box, she couldn't help but exclaim.
Heng Gu couldn't say hello to Landolia, and turned around with the box and ran towards the Ancient Tree of Life, naturally she didn't notice the little squirrel staring at her, that slightly scrutinizing gaze.
