Chapter Thirty-Four: Camp Night Talk
When Xiao Chen woke up, it was already after dusk outside, and there was only a spar in the carriage that lit up a corner of the carriage.
He remembered that it seemed early in the morning when he traveled through the world with the help of the Traveler's Heart, but it was now completely nightfall.
"Ready for camping. Roger's voice came from outside.
The carriage gradually stopped, Xiao Chen pushed the car door and walked down, just as he met Roger, who came to check.
"Your Excellency, you're finally awake. Roger's tone was full of relief.
"Yes, I've been meditating all day, right?" Xiao Chen stretched.
"You've been meditating for three days all day. Elaine's voice came from behind her, and the elf put on her traditional rain and dew priestly robes and walked past a car behind.
"It's actually three days, isn't that going to be in the Elven Kingdom soon?" Xiao Chen was very surprised, he didn't expect that contrary to last time, this time the original world consumed more time than the parallel world.
"Yes, I've never seen meditation like this, neither in the human world nor in the elven world. You can sit down for so long without eating or drinking. This must be because you have gained the ability from that special inheritance, right?" Elaina walked over, and without waiting for Xiao Chen to answer, she said, "Don't do such a thing in the Elven Kingdom, if the elders suspect that your inheritance comes from the Seven Holy Towers, even your life will be in danger." ”
"Are the elves still obsessed with the Seven Towers?" Xiao Chen asked.
A few clouds of sorrow appeared on Elaina's calm and graceful face, "As the family of the god of nature, the elves are born to fight against the enemies of the god of nature. As the enemy of the gods of nature, the Seven Towers are naturally also the enemies of the elves. As a child and follower of the God of Nature, isn't it obvious what you should do when you encounter the Seven Towers Descendant?"
"But you're not. I see that your relationship with Luo Ling is closer than that of her with many human beings. ”
"I ...... I'm different, and if it weren't for her this time, I wouldn't have been going back for a long time. You can't see me as a normal elf. Without further explanation, Elaine walked over to the bonfire that had been lit and sat down.
Xiao Chen followed and sat next to her: "I think these things involve cause and effect, if you can, please tell me." Obtaining the sap of the World Tree is a very difficult task, and what I am most afraid of is that I accidentally make a mistake because I don't know it. And then losing the opportunity to get the World Tree sap, it's not worth it. ”
"It would have been an almost impossible task. Elaine smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm just holding the same mind as you, and I'm not willing to give up without trying." ”
"Actually, you are the most elf among us, you are so special that people are naturally curious. I haven't really understood why you stayed, and why you stick with Luo Ling every day. Xiao Chen said.
"Do you really want to know?"
"Yes. If it doesn't embarrass you. ”
"Please release a noise barrier. Elaina said, seeing that Xiao Chen was a little confused, she explained, "This is related to a big secret of the elf clan. ”
Xiao Chen could feel the caution in Elaina's tone, and he cast a soundproof spell, waiting for the elf's next words.
"This secret I won't tell any other human. But I can tell you guys. Because you and Luo Ling don't belong to this world, I've heard a lot about your world from her. I also learned a lot from it. I know that the world you have come from is very different from here, more developed and more civilized. Your kingdom is not the same as these rude human nations, so there are secrets that you are entitled to know, but they don't. Elaine explained the reason carefully.
"I ...... Feel flattered. Thank you for your trust. Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Have you ever heard of elves being able to sense each other's thoughts?" Elaine asked.
"I've heard it, but it's not clear in all the books. Moreover, some magicians have experimented, and elves do not have this ability outside of the elven kingdom. ”
Elaina nodded, "That's right, because the 'Tree Heart Web' is an ability of the World Tree, which allows the elves in a certain area around the World Tree to share thoughts and emotions with each other. But once out of the confines of the World Tree, the elves no longer possess such abilities. ”
"Share thoughts and emotions?" Xiao Chen secretly wondered, isn't this something similar to the Internet? No wonder elves don't look down on humans in this era, ordinary human beings are stuck in the Middle Ages, magicians are stronger, and they have reached the level of the early industrial age, and elves have reached the level of the information age.
"It's a hard feeling to describe, like you're a little drop of water that melts into a pool of lake water. This makes the relationship between elves very intimate, just like when you fall in love with someone, you are moved by it, and the person who accepts my memory to share will feel the taste of longing and love strongly. It's not much in normal times, but you know I actually had an emotion when I came out of the slave camp, and it was for a human, a slave trader. This is very problematic, it will make many brothers and sisters experience that wrong kind of love, which will pollute the spirit world of the elves. Elaina said this, her eyes staring at the campfire and falling into memory, before she continued after a while, "When I came out of the slave camp, I knew that I could not go back for a while, so I chose to rely on you to stay. ”
"What about Luo Ling?" Xiao Chen said, "What does this have to do with her?"
"At that time, I was anxious to get rid of the entanglement of my previous relationship, so I needed to use another ...... Feelings to replace these. When I saw Luo Ling, I had a feeling that the friendship I gained from getting along with her could make me forget that emotion. I just wanted to do that for the time being, but the more I got in touch with her, the more I liked her. You humans look at people from their looks, but we elves like to see people from their hearts. The Luo Ling I saw had a very beautiful and pure heart. Such people are people I would like to get to know. Elaina's expression was very sincere, which made Xiao Chen believe that this was the real reason.
Elaine put her hands on the fire, and the light of the fire reflected her palms red; "So it's not easy to enter the elven kingdom. Unless it is achieved through conquest like the Black Dragon Empire. Otherwise, we will slowly gain our trust. When I get to the kingdom, I'll explain the situation to the border guards, but that's just for you, and the others won't be able to get in. ”
