Volume 4 The Clash of Light and Darkness One hundred and sixty-four, A Window in the Night
Minna was stunned, a little unable to believe that this was the answer: "How is this possible?!" ”
Princess Aurora snorted coldly: "We elves don't lie!" And Princess Funoya also said with some embarrassment: "Is it true that there is now a dry cave, and there is not a drop of spring water" Lucien also interjected: "Didn't Xiao Tianjian tell you?" I told him about it the last time he came."
Minna felt a little at a loss, before she came, in order to persuade the elf queen, she prepared a stomach, she never expected that it would be such a result, if the fountain of life is gone, then didn't she run in vain? And most importantly, what are they going to do against Warcraft?
She couldn't help but glance at Alex beside her, who quickly regained her composure after a short period of shock, and after a moment of silence, she saluted the elven queen and said: "Your Majesty, I am the messenger sent by Van A in this war against the Warcraft, in fact, the human race has controlled the situation to a certain extent, but the current battle situation is deadlocked, we must rely on the Scepter of Light to completely destroy the Warcraft and destroy the magic array, but now the Scepter of Light has lost its original mana, in order to restore it, If the Fountain of Life has dried up, do you know that there is anything else that can have the same effect? The elves have a long history, and they must know a lot of things that humans don't know."
When Minna heard this, her heart rekindled, and she hurriedly turned her head to look at the Elf Queen, and the Elf Queen glanced at Alex deeply, before she said: "The Scepter of Light is a magic weapon left on the continent by the God of Light, and it has a soul in itself, and if it is idle for a long time, it will gradually grow old and decay The last time I used it, I warned you Holy See, if you continue to enshrine it in the temple as in the past, it will sooner or later become a useless wooden stick, and now it seems that you have not taken my warnings to heart."
Alex lowered his head a little ashamedly: "I'm sorry... In fact, several bishops regretted it..."
"What's the use of regretting it afterwards?" The Elf Queen looked away and said lightly, "As long as it is an item that contains powerful life force, it is possible to restore the strength of the Light Scepter, especially those ancient gods left behind the Earth Artifact Life Fountain is gone, maybe in other parts of the continent, you can still find such a thing" She glanced at Minna, "I think... The one who knows this kind of thing best is probably Xiao Tianxuan, right? You can ask him."
Minna opened her mouth and buried her head in frustration If grandpa is still here, maybe she won't even need the Scepter of Light and the Fountain of Life, where can she go to find grandpa now?
She asked in a whisper, "Is there no other way?" ”
The Elven Queen glanced at her, then motioned for her daughters to leave Alex but stepped forward: "Please slow, Your Majesty! I've heard... The elven world tree has a strong vitality...""Human! Don't overdo it! The Elven Queen turned her head sharply and stared at Alex tightly, "We Elves will never sacrifice our survival for the sake of you humans!" Even if the demons really occupy the human world, we have enough ability to protect ourselves! ”
Alex hurriedly explained: "No, you misunderstood, I heard from a knowledgeable old monk, the World Tree has a strong vitality, and in the past, the bishops of the Holy See liked to make wands or magic weapons from the fallen branches and leaves of the World Tree, so... I just wanted to ask, can such an item help the Scepter of Light regain some strength? ”
The elven queen stared at him for a long time, as if to test whether he was telling the truth, and after a while she replied, "The earth is... The branches of the World Tree also contain the power of the life earth, which can be made into a light artifact, but this power is too far from the light scepter land, and unless you use the entire World Tree, it is impossible! ”
She turned to Lucian, "Send them away!" In order to prevent the monster from invading again, activate the Thorn Forest immediately! ”
Lucien replied, "Yes," Minna hurriedly said, "Slow Queen..." Radlow cried out at the same time, "Minna has only come once, why did she send her away so quickly?" ”
Funoya hurriedly stopped her son: "Radlow, stop talking! But it was already a little late, and the elf queen stared at her grandson with stern eyes, and the latter was frightened and lowered her head, but she was still a little unwilling, and whispered, "At least let's talk a little longer..."
Funoya glanced at her son, turned her head and pleaded with his mother: "Please forgive him, mother, he is still a child" The elf queen was noncommittal, just kept staring at Radlow, and said sharply: "You better not forget that you will be asked to participate in the trial next spring!" Are you ready? Have time to do something else?! ”
Radlow lowered her head and did not speak, the elf queen turned around and left, and as soon as Funoya took two steps in the direction of her son's land, she was pulled by her sister, she broke free, hurriedly dropped two whispers, and walked to her son's side, hugged him, and Aurora looked sullen and turned her head to leave
Funoya comforted her son and said, "It doesn't matter, grandma is just reminding you that you can't be angry" Radlow leaned on his mother with a smile: "I know, mom doesn't need it" Funoya gently stroked his head, raised her eyes and smiled at Minna: "It's rare for you to come, can you stay for two more days?" Little Rudlow... Very lonely"
Minna smiled, and without waiting for her to answer, Alex opened his mouth first: "Your Royal Highness Princess, we are running out of time, we must find an item containing strong life force to return to the front line from here before the arrival of next spring, and there is still more than half a month to go."
Although Minna also wanted to stay and talk to Radlodo, she knew in her heart that Alex was telling the truth, so she didn't speak
Funoya smiled, "You don't need this, Joe will solve this problem" She turned to Lucien and said, "Please send them to Phantom Town, Mother, I'll talk about the land"
Lucien looked into her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then agreed, reaching out to summon two elves and pry two silver wolves
Funoya turned back to Minna and said, "Go first, I'll let Radlow find you tomorrow."
Minna looked at Radlow and hesitated for a moment, then turned around with Alex and mounted the silver wolf and galloped towards the south edge of the forest
She was troubled all the way, the fountain of life had actually dried up, where was she going to find something of the same utility? Grandpa is not here! Where else could there be ancient gods on the continent besides Van Ah and the Elven Forest? Maybe... Should she try it in the Arro Forest? Grandpa seems to have mentioned that there is a tomb of the god of war there, but she doesn't know the location, should she find Bewen as a guide? After all, he lived there for a few years...
Maybe there will be a lot of artifacts on Dragon Island too, right? That's right! Grandpa's ring!
Minna suddenly remembered the storage ring that her grandfather had left behind, and he seemed to have said that it was almost an artifact, but... The ring doesn't seem to have any life force... Grandpa didn't tell her where Dragon Island was...
Minna racked her brains and couldn't think of any way, so she sighed and decided to take a trip to the Arro Forest, and before that, she could ask her father for the ring and give it to the Bishops of Van A
She was thinking about it all over the place, and she ignored the other places, and didn't notice that Alex had not looked good since he rode the silver wolf, and his whole body was tense along the way, always paying attention to not letting himself fall off the wolf's back, and beware of the branches that came out of the roadside, and turned his head coldly, and saw Minna sitting idly on the back of the silver wolf, which seemed to be a little absent-minded, so he was angry, and finally waited for the silver wolf to finally stop, he carefully slid to the ground, and his feet were down-to-earth, and he was relieved
Minna got off the wolf's back, and reached out and gently touched the neck of the silver wolf: "Thank you, Mr. Silver Wolf"
The silver wolf turned his head disdainfully, squinted at an elf in charge of escorting next to him and smiled: "It's not a gentleman, it's a she-wolf."
Minna hurriedly changed her words when she heard this: "I'm sorry, it's really rude, Miss Silver Wolf" The silver wolf reluctantly turned his head, touched Minna's hand lightly with his mouth, and turned away
Minna smiled, turned around and saw Alex staring at her dumbfounded, and couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Alex shook his head dumbly, looked up and touched his heart, secretly afraid
Minna felt inexplicable, and didn't bother to pay attention to him, seeing the familiar scenery of the house not far in front of her, she had an indescribable feeling in her heart, and hurriedly strode over, and recognized Joe's inn at the first time, but now it seemed to have been changed into a small restaurant
She climbed the wooden steps and walked into the store, where there were only two people sitting at the counter, chatting, and when she heard a voice at the door, she looked back at her, and one of the younger men asked, "Who are you?" ”
Minna's eyes were red: "Uncle Joe, Lever..."
The two were stunned, and Joe immediately came to his senses: "You... You're Minna?! ”
Minna nodded violently and pounced, Joe hugged her in surprise and kissed her forehead: "Oh my God, little Minna, it's actually Minna, my God..."
Lever was also overjoyed: "How did you come back?" Tianai, you've grown so big, I almost don't recognize it."
Minna turned around and hugged him, and the eyes of the three were a little moist Joe looked up and saw Alex standing at the door, and asked Minna with some curiosity, "Is that your one?" ”
Minna was puzzled: "Which one is mine?" ”
Joe squeezed his eyes: "That's it" He gestured two thumbs up, touching each other
Minna immediately understood, and slapped him a few times: "It's not!" Alex is a good friend of mine! ”
Joe let out a long sentence, "Oh-huh? ”
Alex smiled and walked over to greet them: "Nice to meet you, I'm Alex, it's Min... Your real name is Minna, isn't it? Minna nodded, and then he continued: "I am a friend of Minnadi, and I have come here as an emissary of mankind together."
Joe and Lever looked at each other, and the latter asked, "Messenger of the Humans?" What's going on? Minna told the whole story, Alex added a few words from time to time, and after Joe heard it, he sighed: "I also heard about the Fountain of Life when I was a child, but it has long been out of what artifact to find, it's best to ask Xiao, he must know!" By the way, why didn't Xiao come? What is he doing now? ”
Minna said dejectedly: "Grandpa went home to see grandpa and grandma, I haven't seen him for several years, and I don't know when he will come back"
Joe raised his eyebrows: "Do you mean Xiao Di's parents?" How did I hear that his parents had died long ago? ”
"They didn't die, they were sick, they lived in a far, far away place, and grandpa didn't know how to go back before."
Joe's expression became serious: "Are you sure he did go far away?" No... Did you encounter any accidents? ”
Minna hurriedly shook her head: "No, I watched him walk into a mirror, and the other side of the mirror is the world where his grandfather and grandmother are and he said that he would come back, but when he came back, he might have come out of the mirror, or he might have returned directly to his home in the Yaluo Forest" But for so many years, I haven't heard any news from him
Qiao was skeptical, but touched Minna's head with some distress: "Poor child, you have to run around at a young age, what are those adults doing?" ”
Minna grinned, and the four of them chatted for a while, and when Joe saw that it was not early, he was busy entertaining her and Alex for dinner, so he sent them to the upstairs guest room to rest
Since the forest was blocked, his inn had no customers, so it was changed to a place where the half-elves met and dined, and only then did he send Minna and the others upstairs, and some guests came to ask for fruit and wine
Minna took a hot shower, cleaned her whole body, changed into clean clothes, and lay comfortably on the big bed, thinking about what had happened today
It seems that I really want to go to the Yaluo Great Forest, I wonder if I will meet my grandfather when I get there? It would be nice if Grandpa could come back...
There was a knock on the door, she turned over and got out of bed to open the door, and when she saw that it was Alex, also dressed in clean clothes, with water dripping from the tips of her hair, apparently also just taken a shower, she asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Alex looked at her stunned, then turned his head and said, "When you cleaned up the tent in the morning, you seemed to have taken my blanket away"
Minna remembered that there was indeed such an incident, and hurriedly took out his blanket to return it to him, and saw that he was still standing at the door with the blanket in his arms, and was a little strange: "Is there something wrong?" ”
Alex squeaked, dropped a "it's okay", and turned to leave, Minna was confused and closed the door
She tossed and turned for a long time this night, and she couldn't sleep, although she had already decided where she was going next, but she was really unwilling in her heart, and she was faintly worried about what if she couldn't find something useful in the Yaluo Forest? And I heard that there may be Warcraft there as well...
The sound of the bed creaking in the next room, just like this one, Minna guessed that Alex was probably bothered by it too, right?
A bird chirped outside the window, and Minna frowned, wondering how could there be birds this season?
Then came the sound of the pebble gently hitting the window lattice, Minna immediately came to her senses, turned over and got out of bed, came to the window to look out, and found that on the opposite tree, Ladlow was waving to herself, and she opened her mouth to ask him what he was going to do, but when she saw him make a "don't make a sound" gesture, she closed her mouth in confusion, and then Radlow motioned for her to open the window, and she hurriedly did so, and the former jumped lightly and climbed on the windowsill and climbed in
Minna lowered her voice and asked, "Why are you here?" Isn't it tomorrow morning? ”
"Shhh
Minna asked curiously, "What is it?"
"Don't ask, you'll know when you go, shhhh Radlow stared at the door vigilantly, Minna walked cautiously and opened the door, Alex was standing outside the door, quickly flashed in, and smiled at them, "What do you want to do, don't forget me"
