Chapter 6 Every Elf is a Tree
"Two guests, are you looking for me?" Nodaniel pointed to himself suspiciously, seeing Heidi and Katrina walking towards him.
Heidi smiled kindly and said, "Nordiel, your speech on the balance of nature just now was really amazing, so interesting!"
She noticed that Nordiel was a relatively cheerful character, so she greeted her with a familiar look, and did not politely address lady, miss, or anything.
Hearing Heidi's sincere and straightforward praise, Nordielle was a little shy and waved his hand slightly crampedly: "I'm just sorting out the ideas that the elders usually expound. ”
"My name is Heidi, and this is my companion Katrina, who has just been to the forest today, and it is a pleasure to meet you for the first time. Heidi grew more and more enthusiastic.
She wasn't as introverted as Annick, and she introduced the two of them generously to Nordiel.
With such a talkative and cheerful guest who does not give people pressure, the little nervousness in Nordiel's heart quickly dissipated, and the conversation became natural.
"Well, we were commissioned by Her Majesty the Empress to investigate a small number of elven demonizations, and we have some questions for you about Tracey. After chatting for a while, Heidi asked directly.
Nordiel was silent for a moment, and said with a gloomy expression: "Heidi, Katrina, if there is any problem in this regard, you can ask, I very much hope that you can find the source of the fall, so that Tris and them can recover, even if they can't recover, don't suffer like this again." ”
"Did Triss show any signs of an anomaly before she fell?" asked Katrina, asking the standard questions that Jurisian, Felipe, and the others had discussed.
Nordaniel is a sun elf with fair skin and brilliant blonde hair. Under the sun, she looked quite noble, but there was no smile on her face, and she said while recalling: "At least for me, nothing too strange happened in my life before this, and my companions also hunted every day, picked fruits, looked for places in the forest where the balance might be broken, and repaired, and then felt nature and comprehended divine magic." Choreographed dance. Singing music and reading all kinds of texts from the mythological era onward......"
Everything is so calm, so leisurely, such a beautiful life seems to never be broken. But: "That morning. I suddenly noticed a change in the magic lines on Tracey's skin. Filled with feelings of hatred and killing, yesterday was fine, and we danced together a special dance she had just learned. Say goodnight to each other. ”
"Special dance?" Heidi recorded Nordiel's answer in a magic notebook, subconsciously concerned about the dance described as "special".
Nordaniel nodded slightly: "She said that Ms. Martha taught her, and I will show it to you?"
Heidi and Katrina replied at the same time, half inquisitively, "Good!"
Nordiel took a few steps back and danced very rhythmically without musical accompaniment.
Many of the movements in this dance are quite bizarre, almost contrary to the normal physiological condition, that is, the elf's body is soft, and the flexibility is exaggerated, so it can barely be done.
"Although the movements are difficult and strange, I have to say that this dance is really beautiful......" Heidi moved her left hand and legs, feeling the urge to join in the dance, but she patted her face in annoyance, thinking about whether to prepare herself a bottle of potion to stimulate the blood after she went back, otherwise it would be impossible to learn this dance.
Katrina slapped Nodaniel and secretly connected with her mind: "This dance belongs to the sacrificial type, it gives me a strange feeling, and I will mention it when I summarize the information." ”
During the dance, Nordiel seemed to recall his friend, and gradually exuded a sad and mournful mood, and it took a long time to recover and ask in a low voice, "Is this dance okay?"
"There are no magic fluctuations, no magic breath, and no weird existence snooping, but that doesn't mean it's no problem, and you'd better not jump again until the matter is investigated. Heidi liked her new elf friend and reminded her.
After Nod's nod in agreement, Katrina continued to ask, "Did Trisy change her mood or concept a few days before the Fall?"
Nordiel thought carefully: "She was a little disappointed, because the magic pattern grew slowly and did not have too substantial breakthroughs, so she told me very seriously that she wanted to become a druid, learn the magic of nature, and play a greater role in maintaining the balance of nature." ”
to play a greater role in maintaining the balance of nature...... Heidi frowned and jot down Nordiel's statement, casually asking, "Are you a druid?"
"Well, you've just become a Guardian of Nature, what you call a mid-level druid. Nordaniel is quite proud of his status as a "guardian of nature", and the gloom between his eyebrows has disappeared a lot.
Elves are not divided into levels like humans, such as low, medium, high, one, two, three, but the levels are the same, "Nature Guardian" is a Druid Apprentice, "Friend of Nature" is a beginner Druid, "Nature Guardian" is a mid-level Druid, and "Staff Bearer" is a high-level Druid (including level 9).
Heidi was interested in the druid profession and took a closer look.
“...... Every elf can sense the blessings of nature, so they can become the guardians of nature without hindrance, and then we need to sublimate our understanding of nature into our own ideas, implement them in our daily actions, and with the integration of ideas and nature, we will form a 'heart of nature' similar to your understanding of the world, which is named after the core of the elven tree, which is the basis for performing formal divine arts......" Nordaniel did not hide.
The three of them chatted for a long time before they separated.
In the evening, Heidi and Katrina return to the treehouse with a magical notebook full of harvests, and gather information with Yurisian, Felipe, Annick, Sprint, and others.
"Special Dance ...... ......"More than seventy percent of the fallen are associated with special dances, thirty percent of them are taught by Lady Martha, and the rest are not known from where they learned their ......."
Felipe said in a deep voice, "It may be the custom of the elves. They have a great love for dancing. ”
"Anyway, we'll meet that Lady Martha tomorrow. Yurisian said.
At this time, Annick said shyly and solemnly: "Could it be a dance similar to the 'Viken's Special Summoning Ritual', with no strange things on the surface, focusing on the ideas or emotions that are instilled and formed in the process of learning?"
Heidi had just cracked such a case, and was very sensitive to it, nodding seriously: "It's possible, naturally hate, hate, I remember that one of the ancient devils is called 'hate'." ”
"Here's the problem. Eighty percent of the Fallen and Demonic Elves are natural balancers. The remaining twenty percent still have a part of the two factions swaying, and the true natural haters are very few elves, otherwise the people of the elven court would have noticed the strangeness a long time ago......" Yurisian looked at the data table in front of him and rubbed the corners of his forehead.
............
Lucian, Natasha, and Atlante after checking out the "Heart of Nature". Led by Malfurion and Lanhill, he went to the "Prison House". Try to find clues from the Fallen Elves.
The elven "prison house" is still a hut made of tree trunks. But this part of the trunk is iron-gray, as hard as steel, because of the peculiarity of the tree itself. There is also a relationship with the blessing of natural spells.
Lanhir asked the two elves guarding the "captivity" to open the gate, and then entered first, and a terrible howl sounded from inside, like the "wail" of a wild beast in the forest at night, which made people tremble.
The two guard elves showed sad expressions, and inside were their companions, not beasts!
Lucian, Natasha, and Atlante stood outside a cell and looked through the cracks in the trees at the fallen elf inside.
This is a beautiful elf girl, but her magic patterns have spread from her neck and arms to her whole body, and her face and hands seem to be painted with terrifying and mysterious abstract paintings, and it is different from the tender green of ordinary elf magic patterns, it is dark green with a trace of blood, hideous and abnormal.
"It's like a pattern on the back of a human-faced spider...... Natasha said in a telepathic connection.
Indeed, the elf's magic patterns and skin show signs of spiderization!
"I'm going to kill you!"
"A world that is green and pure!"
"All intelligent life must die!"
The fallen elf girl threw herself next to the crack in the tree trunk, her eyes widened at Lucien and the others, her pupils were no longer flexible, only a deep sense of tyranny and destruction, and there was a solidified red in the center, at the same time, she opened her mouth, her teeth were biting on the trunk, as if she could not use similar spells and natural abilities, she could only rely on such primitive means to attack.
The two rows of teeth that were originally neat and white are like white bones at this moment.
Malfurion, the ...... of the Balance of Nature, introduces Lucien to the Elven Maiden.
Lucien and Atlante have seen countless terrifying scenes, and they are not affected by this scene, and each uses magic to check the situation of the elf girl.
Time passed minute by minute, and Lucien easily suppressed the level of the elven girl's depravity and said: "It is almost certain that it is related to the contamination of the elven tree, but I don't know if it is the cause or the effect, in the same way, prophecy can only tell me that all fallen elves have deep commonalities under the surface, which is the key." ”
"I'll have Ellerstin and them cooperate with the magician's investigation in this regard, and the two of you will go with me to the Abyssal Rift first?" Lanhill suggested.
Lucien nodded without objection.
At this time, due to the suppression of the depravity power by Lucien, the elf girl's eyes suddenly cleared a little, and she held her head in pain: "Why is this happening!
A green glow lit up on her, and a faint sense of tranquility flowed through.
Lucian's face changed, and he was about to stop it, but Malfurion sighed: "She's in such pain, let her free herself, there are other fallen elves to investigate......"
The elf girl hummed a beautiful melody from her mouth:
"Every elf is a tree, from nature, back to nature......"
"We are born from love and union, we return in peace and serenity, we sing for the forest, we rejoice in life......"
The green glow on her body grew stronger with an ethereal song, and Malfurion opened the door to her cell.
The elven maiden stepped out in a dance, and bowed deeply to Lucian, Natasha, and Atlante:
"Every elf is a tree, rooted in the earth and breathing in the sky......"
"We guard nature and maintain balance......
She flew outside with difficulty, her green light enveloping her, and slowly falling to the ground.
"Every elf is a tree ......"
The song became smaller and smaller, but it echoed melodiously, the green light disappeared, and there was a tall and beautiful tree in the forest.
Every elf turns into a tree when they die, which is why they love green so much.
"Be sure to investigate the cause of the Fall. Witnessing this, Natasha clenched her right hand into a fist and said to herself.
Lucien closed his eyes, turned to Lanhil and said, "Let's go to the abyssal rift and have a look." (To be continued......)
