The night is thick, and the waves are crashing on the shore.

Under the starlight, a small, seemingly naturally formed narrow harbor is quiet and serene in the night.

Although there is no green to be seen at night, the dark shadows of the hazy forest fill the entire land, and you can imagine what a lush, pristine landscape will be like during the day.

There doesn't seem to be any trace of civilization here, everything is so natural. It also seems to be very desolate and rarely inhabited.

At this time, several figures were standing in the corner of the small harbor, looking at the sea that was slightly rippling.

……

"Dear Director Wu, are the two Majesties sure they arrived tonight? Why haven't you come yet? ”

Under the light of the blazing fire, an old elf with a white beard and hair asked a man who also looked like an elf.

The vicissitudes of time had already carved countless traces on the old man's body, and the old countenance had already indicated that the elf's life might come to an end in a year or sooner, but he still asked with a red face and a solemn voice. There was a hint of excitement and excitement in his expression.

The person he asked was no better, his ears were pointed, he looked like an elf, but the crisp military uniform on his body seemed to reveal his human identity, he was leading a few people straight and solemn looking into the distance, hearing the old man's question, he turned his head.

……

"Dear Elder, don't worry, I've only finished talking to the Stalker, Your Majesty, and they'll be coming soon—no more than half an hour at the latest."

He raised a small magic machine that shimmered in his hand, and smiled - it seemed to be a cell phone.

"Originally, they could have flown in the offshore waters, but our Majesty Ning considered that although this is a desolate coast, we are not afraid of ten thousand, we are afraid that the flight may hit the elves, and they haven't gone through the makeup yet-so, it is better to go directly through the Stalker."

After thinking about it, he explained again.

……

The Elven Elder smiled and nodded, he opened his mouth. Just as he was about to speak again, the excited cry of a young elf behind him suddenly rang out, interrupting him even more-

"It's coming! See! Isn't that your legendary submarine? ”

He asked, with a curious look on his face, pointing to a large black figure floating slightly on the surface of the sea not far in front of them.

"This is the Stalker."

The human being known as Director Wu was stunned, and he was already smiling and striding up with everyone in stride.

……

"It's incredible...... Dive deep to the bottom of the ocean, stealthily and swiftly from Nagrand to our Corona Village—is this the brilliance of human magic technology? ”

"It's no wonder that adults are eager to go to the United Kingdom...... Mobile phones, submarines, and artistic words, artistic countries, artistic life, and artistic technology. The beauty of Nagrand, what a place of paradise it is......"

An elf muttered, he looked at the submarine with a faint glimmer of magic energy in the starlight, his face was already obsessed, he couldn't help muttering, and it made the elves around him suddenly have a strong yearning color.

……

Just under the curious and even obsessive gaze of the elves, the submarine that had completely surfaced turned on its lights. Then the canopy was opened.

Two tall young figures jumped out with several people in turn, slightly discerning the next direction, and even noticed the military chief and the elven elders who were striding over. He also came to them.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Director Wu already saluted deeply: "Wu Yu, Director of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau of the United Nations Ministry of National Security, and the Director of the Intelligence General Office of the Elven West Continent, salute you. ”

"Our work is not good, so you are here. It's ......."

He looked at the two young men with respect, and said with a look of shame.

……

"No, you have done your job very well and have achieved great results. As for other things. Nor is it within your means, and there is no need to do so. ”

Xie Ning and Zeng Chi smiled back, and he comforted softly.

"It's ......"

And with it. He looked at the elven elder who was looking at Zeng Chi and asked with curiosity.

"Oh, Your Majesty, allow me to introduce you, this is—"

Director Wu's words were interrupted by the trembling voice of the elven elder.

……

"Hundreds of years...... Not seen in hundreds of years - our leader of the Elven Knights, a descendant of Venerable Bertisteini. ”

He leaned down deeply towards Zeng Chi, and he said with tears in his eyes, and the elves who came with him also leaned down with the elven elders, their eyes already full of respect and remembrance.

"Elders, and fellow citizens. Please, I'm not the leader of the Elven Knights anymore, I'm just the King of the Blood Elves. ”

Zeng Chi smiled and picked up the elven elder.

"But you will always be our leader of the knights, the valiant legion of elven knights—the least numerous but most powerful. Under the Tree of Life in the final battle of the Eastern Continent Royal Court, a noble army that suffered almost all the casualties but did not take a step back. The eternal pride of our elves. ”

The elven elder stood up trembling and said, wiping tears from his eyes.

……

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is said that you have thwarted the barbarian invasion of the Alien Plane before - it is incredible, you should be less than a million people now, right? The armies of the barbarians alone are at least in the millions! How do you do that? ”

A young elf who straightened up looked curiously at the leader of the legendary elven knight clan, and asked with admiration on his face.

"This ......"

Zeng Chi was suddenly embarrassed.

"In fact, we have only assisted humanity in their war against aggression. Oh, and to introduce, this is my United Nations King of Mankind, His Majesty Shainin. ”

He explained a little embarrassedly, and even led his hand to his side, Xie Ning, who was looking at him with a teasing smile on his face.

……

"Your Majesty Yongning, the king of the United Nations, the unique descendant of the ancient god of frost and war of mankind in heaven and earth, the husband of Her Highness the Goddess, and the great controller of space magic energy above all magical energy, your great name, we are also like thunder. Welcome, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

The elven elders and the elves looked at the young man and leaned down deeply.

"Everyone, please get up. The corona group has also helped us a lot. On behalf of humanity and the United Kingdom, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you. ”

The young man saluted solemnly, and the crowd behind him, including Director Wu and others, followed their king and saluted solemnly to the elves.

……

Subsequently, the Great Elder continued to "should" and "should" do something small for our eternal elven knights, and also do something small for the generous and chivalrous resistance of the barbarian humans, and even more for the United Kingdom, which is not enough to worry about. In the middle of his words, the young man already said with a smile: "It's dark at night, elder, let's go back to the village first, right?" ”

～～～～～～～～～

"That's what it is...... Corona Village? ”

At the mouth of a valley, Xie Ning looked at a huge and friendless tree canopy in the valley in the distance, almost covering the sky and muttered, his eyes were already extremely curious.

"Yes, Your Majesty. This is the Corona Village area. And what you say you see is the canopy of the tree of life on which the elven race depends for their reproduction. Big, right? When we first came. I was also taken aback. ”

Director Wu explained with a smile on his face.

"It's not scientific...... How is it possible to have such a big tree? This is the cover of its canopy alone, which covers tens of square kilometers -- is this just the tree of life, not the tree of life of the world? How big should the World Tree of Life be? ”

Yang Linkai muttered suddenly.

……

"Sir Yang, the world of demonic energy is too vast, this may be scientific. But the science we have is not yet able to explain it. ”

Director Wu glanced at him with a smile and explained again.

"Yes, General Yang."

The Elven Elder also turned his head proudly: "As for your latter question...... The World Tree of Life is a great artifact left to us by our ancient ancestors, and the Tree of Life is compared to it. It was just a small sapling. ”

"In fact, Tedashir and Nagrand...... Oh, and that is, Hope Island. The two are about the same size - but the canopy of the World Tree of Life envelops the whole of Tedashir. ”

"Too ...... That's an exaggeration."

Yang Linkai suddenly ate.

……

"It's not an exaggeration, it's not an artifact. I'm curious about how this tree of life grows so big, and what kind of life it is......"

Xie Ning's ability to accept new things was obviously greater than Yang Linkai's, and he already smacked his lips with a sigh in his eyes.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the General Institute of Magical Energy Research was once interested in the Tree of Life, and their analysis of a branch and leaf of the Tree of Life that we sent over showed that the Tree of Life and our common plants do not seem to be two of the same type of creatures at all."

"It's a plant in its own right, but it's very animalistic, and in its branches and leaves, the General Research Institute of Magical Energy has even extracted some regular metal particles that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. You know, regularized things are often artificially made - which in turn seems to suggest that the tree of life may not be a natural product. ”

"So, in the end, although they had no choice but to shelve the study because of the limited research power, they once came to a preliminary conclusion—"

……

"World Tree of Life...... It doesn't seem to be a plant. In other words, it is not a simple plant - it is very likely that the elves of the previous generation combined the botany and bioengineering of physics with the magical engineering of science and the magic of life, an incomparably strange artificial life. Even, they think it is likely to have intelligence. ”

Director Wu explained carefully to Xie Ning and the others with the elves beside him with confused eyes on their faces.

"Doesn't that mean that the elves of the previous generation also had magic technology? And it's a very high-end technology, maybe hundreds or thousands of years ahead of us, but it's very similar to our magic technology -- but why ...... now?"

Xie Ning was shocked, he had already looked at Zeng Chi inquiringly.

……

"I don't know...... All I know is that our civilization has been completely lost since Ragnarok. ”

Zeng Chi was also full of curiosity, and he shrugged his shoulders.

"Elf...... Except for the ears, it looks so similar to us humans...... Even the physiological structure and genetic information seem to be the same, and Sister Man has children...... Now even Magic Tech seems to have ...... It's still like that...... What the hell is this ......?"

"I always feel that there may be some faint connection between Shirahoshi and the mountains and the sea, between us and the elves......"

Xie Ning suddenly muttered with a look of obsession on his face. (To be continued......)
