Decade. [Full text reading]

For many races on the continent, ten years is just a moment, just a time to close and open your eyes and fall asleep. But for many people, ten years is enough for a lot to happen.

In this decade, the most amazing things on the continent are nothing more than two. First, Prince Luther of the Tobiro Empire led his troops to exterminate the Lost Abyss-Ekri Basin, and made immortal achievements for the empire and the continent.

This is the real extermination, not a simple siege and killing of monsters, but the entire Acre Basin has been restored to life, not only the magic barriers have been dispersed, but even ordinary civilians have moved to the vicinity of that land, developing medium-sized villages.

Prince Luther's actions amounted to the creation of a new territory for the rightful encirclement of the Tobiro Empire, whose ownership no nation or race could dispute.

Because of this shocking incident, Luther quickly became a rising star on the mainland, and countless people stared at this Prince Tobiro, of course, the identity of the family belongs to the government officials, or the family's own empire, it is impossible to pull out and jump ship on public and private affairs, but we can still marry......

The second surprising event was the announcement that an elf had been found on the mainland.

This elf disappeared for thousands of years because of the tree of life, and the whole continent knows about it, if it weren't for the fact that archaeology has not been able to find tombs and fossils, the mainland history research association would have wanted to list the elf race as a prehistoric extinct creature for a long time. But I didn't expect that after a thousand years, just after everyone could slowly accept the fact that the elves were really extinct, there would be traces of elves on the continent.

When they first heard the news, many people took it as a boast of an adventurer. Then slowly there were more and more rumors about the elven traces, and everyone began to be suspicious, and finally one day half a year ago, one by one elves appeared on the edge of the lost jungle to circle the elf station, and visited the surrounding towns to register, and then pulled up the enchantment tree outside the jungle to warn outsiders not to enter at will, and then casually shot over an adventure group that tried to provoke, everyone was shocked.

At that moment, people's minds resurfaced the pictures of the Tree of Life in the historical records, and automatically annotated it with various strange annotations such as the blossoming of the iron tree, the birth of pearls of the old mussel, and the double opening of the plum blossom......

Genie. Really resurrected?!

"Mr. Luther." As soon as Luther stepped into the edge of the lost jungle, the blades of grass were turning, and soon a group of beautiful elves, men and women, each armed with a bow and arrow, and a dagger at their waists, appeared.

Luther smiled and asked, "Where's the crisp?!" ”

"The Queen takes a nap in the Living Tree House."

"......" Luther looked up, looking to confirm the position of the sun in the sky, and then helplessly: "It's almost dinner time." Still napping?! ”

"The question of the Queen's living habits is within the scope of personal **, please don't put it in the gimmick." The leading male elf waved his hand to let the elves behind him lower their weapons, and then brushed out a small notebook and a pen out of nowhere. After brushing through cursive, he tore off a page and handed it to Luther: "This year's toll has risen, please pay 200 gold coins, and the old rule is that if you defecate or throw garbage in the jungle, you will be fined 100 every time you are found." Caring for the environment is everyone's responsibility...... Well, that's a guide. When encountering a patrol team, please take the initiative to show it and cooperate with the inspection! ”

"......" Luther was very sad and restrained his uncalm emotions and handed out 200 gold coins. Every time he saw these elves, he would feel a feeling of tears and despair, not because the other party was asking too hard, but because he really couldn't accept that the beautiful and pure elves in his mind were like this...... The Elven King is above, this is really ...... Forget it, let's change the prayer word!

The male elf took the gold coin and counted it carefully, and did not have any appeasement because the other party was a regular customer and the only customer at the moment.

The corners of Luther's eyes jumped, and he finally couldn't help it: "I have to come several times a year, so you don't have to count them one by one every time." ”

"That's not good, friendship is friendship, business is business!" The male elf retorted very seriously: "If there is counterfeit money or omission, we will be responsible, and we will make up for the ...... Mr. Luther. You also know that the patrol team is not paid much, so everyone should be considerate of each other! ”

Never mind! Let them be! Luther held his breath and turned his head away, out of sight and out of mind. By the way, I don't know how many times I self-hypnotized in my heart - this product is definitely not an elf, this product is definitely not an elf......

Bought a way into the Lost Jungle, and met the Warcraft team again. Like the elves, they patrol the jungle and work part-time to lead the way, and can rent monsters for gold or meat to pay for them, or hire them as guides if they don't have enough money. After all, not all demonic beasts in the jungle have intelligence, and many low-level demonic beasts can easily attack humans. And there's also the problem of dangerous magic plants...... At this time, it is always safer to have elves or monsters to lead the team, and avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles and battles.

After paying a certain amount of gold, Luther sighed and rode a silver wolf with a swift wind, and after more than half an hour of extreme speed of life and death, he finally arrived at the center of the jungle, which is the current residence of the elves, before being tossed and vomited.

The village of elves should be close to nature in ancient texts, and the elves in legend like to live on tree branches to build houses and live, and use exquisite weaving crafts and wood magic to give birth to vines and flowers to serve as natural decorations.

And the palace where the elven queen lives is naturally built on the largest tree of life.

The Tree of Life is not an ordinary tree, the trunk of the resurrected Tree of Life will occupy all the open space around it, and the branches and leaves are a distance of 100 meters from the ground, and the canopy expansion covers the size of a medium-sized town, among which the Queen's residence palace is unbelievably built between these branches, and it is also a three-dimensional building, and there are thick vines or huge branches between the palace houses of different heights as access roads, which have certain magic and physical resistance.

The top of the canopy can only be ascended from the main hall, where the tree of life fruit that gave birth to the elves. Once a new elf is born on the Tree of Life, they are placed in the home of the Elf who is eager to have children or who is willing to lead the elves to grow up. Of course, since all the elves are still learning, all the elves are still being taught by Lin Su for the time being......

"I heard you're looking for me?!"

After Luther sat in the elven palace and drank the third glass of fruit wine with nothing to do. Lin Su, who was called, finally pushed open the door and walked in.

A slender figure, a slightly petite figure among elves, a casual home nightdress draped in smooth long black hair, and a beautiful and delicate face...... No matter how dissatisfied Luther was with the other party's character, he had to admit that the little villain had indeed grown into a very attractive girl.

Putting down the fruit wine, he took out a small bag from his arms and threw it on the table, Luther sighed: "This is a new tree species, dug up in the center of the Lost Abyss outside the Demon Race. ”

"The elves are going to grow again." Lin Shu walked over, opened the bag, looked inside, took out a shriveled seed and threw it to the elf maid who followed behind: "Bury this under the tree of life, and then send a team of people to guard the canopy, and pick it when the fruit grows...... How can you wake up without me teaching you again?! ”

The elven maid grinned and led the tree down. Luther was silent for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "The new elves are still taught by you personally?!" ”

"Not necessarily!" Lin Shu sat down and poured himself a glass of fruit wine, and after taking a sip to lift his spirits, he said, "These ancient elves who went out with tree seeds to find the new elven township were all sealed with the origin of life. They are different from the truly newly conceived elves, not only do they retain their original martial arts and magic due to inheritance from birth, but they also directly have the adult body when they were sealed...... If I had to use an analogy, these elves are like they have amnesia, and I just need to tell them a little bit about life. It doesn't take much time. ”

"Common sense ...... life" Luther wanted to cry, and it was precisely this aspect that he didn't want this scoundrel to teach the elves. Her so-called common sense is enough to collapse those normal people who really live with common sense!

O great king of elves! Did you see that?! Your people have fallen......

In the course of ten years, through the investigation of the lost abyss and the study of some ancient materials. Lin Shu had almost figured out the truth about the disappearance of the elven race thousands of years ago.

To put it simply, there is only one Tree of Life on the entire continent, and unless it is completely extinct, it is absolutely impossible for a new Tree of Life to appear.

Elves saw the decline of the Tree of Life in the Lost Jungle thousands of years ago. Unexpectedly, it was not actually dead, but only frozen in time in a state similar to being sealed. And the tree of life they dug up only had the ability to seal elves at this time. It is equivalent to restoring the adult elves to the state before they grow from the fruit, and sealing them in the seeds, so as to preserve and continue the inheritance of the elves.

When there is a desperate situation on the continent such as a race war or a riot of magical elements, or a spatial tear, etc., the elves can escape with this, and then after the original tree of life dies due to the troubled times, a new tree of life will grow from a certain tree species, and the adult elves sealed by the tree species will also awaken and repopulate and develop with their original abilities...... The only side effect of amnestics may be due to humanitarian considerations, if not. The elves probably spend most of their long lives remembering the pain of their people being separated before they were sealed.

The only mistake recorded in ancient books is probably the outside world's understanding of the tree species of life. The tree of life is not just one, but several. The elves who left their hometowns each took a tree seed in batches to find a new paradise suitable for their race to live in. And the elves thousands of years ago don't know what happened to them, and the elves who went out to find a new place to live mysteriously all disappeared. Sealed in the tree species they carry.

After leaving the Tree of Life, the Living Tree can only nourish the sealed elves by absorbing the power of life from the outside world, and according to the different conditions of the Life Tree Species, the area that can be absorbed is also large and small, and these areas later became the Lost Abyss, and the center of the Abyss is the location of the Life Tree Species that was left behind thousands of years ago......

Lin Shu and Luther are now equivalent to a mutually beneficial relationship, she helps the other party refine a potion that can resist the spiritual storm of the Lost Abyss, and after the other party clears the center of the Lost Abyss, she will also retrieve the life tree species left there and return it to Lin Shu.

The former relies on this collection of the people who have been sealed by the elves to strengthen the current vitality of the elves, otherwise the entire elf clan will be a bunch of underage elf children who are wrapped in diapers, and they will just wipe their necks and wait to be tied back to be Xiaomi.

The latter brings the Tree of Life species back behind the Tree of Life. It will also solve the problem of demonizing creatures in the Lost Abyss, and take the opportunity to accumulate fame and new land.

Luther thought about it, she was now in the status of the elf queen, and she really couldn't speak, so she had no choice but to give up. By the way, in the past ten years, in addition to being busy fighting the lost abyss, Luther's other most enthusiastic and devoted thing is trying to persuade his father to convert to other main gods.

However, the royal family of Tobiro itself was established and circulated because of the bloodline of the elf king in ancient times, and the latter can only be an extravagant hope.

"Don't talk about that." Luther sighed again, thought for a moment and asked, "Now that the Tree of Life has retrieved two of them, it is not easy for me to enter the Lost Abyss in other areas...... You know that, too. First, those places are too far away from the Tobiro Empire, and it is not convenient for me to lead troops there. Second, not everyone is willing to give me so much prestige for nothing. In their opinion, those lost lands would rather keep their disgust themselves than let me go to their territory. ”

"So?!"

"So I mean, if you have the time, you probably have to go over and collect the Tree of Life in person."

"Forget it. I'm also busy. Lin Shu waved his hand uninterestedly: "I'm not familiar with those elves, so let them sleep more." In the future, if there is fate, someone will always bring them back. ”

Now the elves have enough adult manpower. No matter how much it is, it's not easy to manage, Lin Shu is actually not very keen on reviving the race or anything, after all, she is still a human race in her bones...... Although it topped the shell and bloodline of the sub-elves.

“…… You're also an elven queen?! Luther despised it.

"No way, who made the elven blood on my body the oldest and purest?!" Lin Shu was contemptuous.

Can the hidden ancient elves in the game be pure?! Racial ancestry lock-in is 100%. She's not a queen who is a queen?!

Luther shook his head and stood up: "Whatever you want, I will return to the imperial capital after this mission." If you are not at the border in the future, it may not be convenient to come back again...... Also, Alphad seems to miss you so much that you don't want to go back and see him?! ”

Yafed?! Lin Shu touched his chin and thought, "He's not married yet?!" ”

"Not yet." Luther gave her a blank look: "Why don't you care about me?!" ”

"You...... After thirteen years of garrisoning and fighting on the border, I would be surprised if you suddenly had a marriage partner, no matter what gender, the hidden attributes that can appear in your life circle are definitely pure masters. ”

"......" Luther was speechless, he was cheap! Obviously, I have been fighting with this little villain for ten years, but I still can't learn well every time, and I can't help but go up and beg for abuse when I endure it...... What's it called?! It's called a shit!

The man finally left. Lin Shu nibbled on an apple, two peaches, three sweet dates, and four bananas on the spot, and then finally got bored.

In the past ten years, she has long since returned to the peak state of the game. The little white tigers have all reached the holy beast level. The god and demon shop that can only be opened at level 90 has long been opened, and in addition to using the skill books and props and medicines in the store to train the elves. Lin Su's only fun is to wait for Luther to fight with the other party when he comes to visit the prison, or to go to the surrounding towns to tease the little boy.

But...... None of that was really what she wanted to do.

The hope of going home is long gone, and Lin Su no longer has those unrealistic fantasies, but on the contrary, she doesn't know what she should do in this world.

Originally, the only focus in her life was to rescue Alfeid and find the murderer who wanted to frame him. Later, when this problem was solved, she came back to cultivate and teach the elven race, so that this lost race could return to the historical stage of the continent. Now that the elves have the ability to protect themselves, this problem can be regarded as solved. And then what?! And then what can she do?!

Even Luther will rarely be seen in the future, how boring will her life be?!

Empty, lonely, cold...... Lin Su was depressed.

"Your Majesty, there are people out there who want to see you."

"Luther?!" Lin Shu asked.

The elven maid who came in shook her head and wrinkled her cute little nose: "It seems to be the demon you mentioned." ”

Alfaye! Lin Su's eyes lit up, and he finally remembered that he still had such a pen pal...... It's not really appropriate to say that pen pals are actually inappropriate, but the two have only maintained a correspondence relationship in the past ten years, and there is indeed no more suitable adjective than pen pals.

"Good mix! This elf race is very well built, originally I thought that your queen was at most a cave stage, but I didn't expect it to evolve quite quickly. The demon general was uninvited, and the elf maid snorted to express her dissatisfaction, and then left with Lin Shu waving back.

"If you have architectural drawings, you can build them directly as long as you have enough materials and gold coins. Besides, the elves are all ingenious......" Lin Shu smiled, he was still very happy to see his old friend.

The demon general didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out an account and handed it over: "Ten years of turnover and profits have all been here, when will you have time to come to the demon clan?!" ”

"I'm not available at any time." Lin Shu flipped through the account book. Tsk, I didn't see that the demon clan actually has business talents, although I ignored it for ten years, but this restaurant is still developing well!

Of course,It's impossible to say how good it is.,After all, it's not written here.,I thought that casually hanging the name of the boss of the heroine through the crossing can add turnover and popularity to the store?! That's hilarious.

said that it was good, but it was just that there were no new recipes, and the business customer circle was limited to the light of the imperial capital, and Lin Su himself did not care...... And so on and so forth, the operating profit is not bad.

The demon general knew that this woman couldn't let go so easily, so he was only depressed, and he wasn't too surprised: "I saw Luther when I came in just now?!" ”

"Well, he's going to be transferred back to the imperial capital, come and say goodbye to me."

"Although I haven't been back to the Demon Clan often in the past ten years, I still know something about the situation over there." The demon general smiled: "Last month, the lost abyss on the demon border was wiped out by Luther and his troops, if you guessed correctly, this matter also has something to do with you, right?!" ”

"You're here for this?!" No wonder, she just said! This male demon didn't expect to come to him as a guest for ten years, why did he suddenly come over with Luther on a whim, and it turned out that it was because Luther cleared the lost abyss on the demon border, making them feel that their dignity and prestige were threatened.

"Sort of." The demon general nodded and admitted: "Of course, I'll just go through the motions, you don't have to worry too much." Actually, I'm here mainly for another thing. ”

Lin Shu smiled: "Tell me about it?!" ”

"All races and human nations have a gathering every ten years, ten years ago your elven race was not built, you don't have that qualification, now I don't know if you are interested in participating?!"

The news thrown by the demon general made Lin Su a little surprised. This kind of gathering she had heard of, similar to a United Nations conference on Earth.

In order to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy of the ancient race war, the leaders of various races and countries will meet and have a meeting every ten years, mainly to solve some of the large and small frictions that occurred in the past ten years, and by the way, adjust and contact each other to deepen the relationship, as the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person, everyone has something to do and get together once or twice, even if there is something to do, you can also spread out and solve it together, you are always embarrassed to reach out and stab others coldly, right?!

Of course, this wish is good, in fact everyone knows what is going on, it is nothing more than a passing matter. But...... Everyone also understands that if you don't even do a cutscene and superficial work, then the problem will definitely be even more serious.

After all, the vast majority of people still have the will for peace, and what needs to be discussed is nothing more than the details of interests. It's two different things to stab a knife in the back or not, anyway, as long as you don't get caught in the open.

Lin Su used to be a little orphan girl, of course, no one specifically told her about this, but now it's different, people are directly crowned the elf queen, although this system is not as powerful as other race countries, but after all, it represents a race, and you can't say it if you don't let people participate.

That's interesting...... Lin Su finally found something to relieve loneliness, and was very interested in thinking about it and asking: "Tell me more about this party?!" Time and Place...... And the specifics?! (To be continued)
