At noon on the third day, Xiao Chen and his party walked out of the range of human forces and began to enter the territory of the elves.

Walking through a section of plain, there is a pass at the intersection in front of you, which stands at the gap of a valley, extremely tall, about seven or eight stories high, different from the rough and simple style of human levels, here the level is actually carved with various plant theme sculptures. The walls are also covered with cyan and purple climbing vines. Xiao Chen had read in the book that the name of this green climbing vine is the exorcism vine, which can weaken the magic effect of the attacking party, and the purple climbing vine is called the luminous vine, which will emit purple light at night, and can also make invisible enemies appear.

These two defensive plants are common defensive weapons in High Elf buildings, and they are very difficult to deal with.

There were many figures shaking above the level, and the two carriages had just stopped in front of them, and a warning voice came from above, and a clear male voice said, "Human, this is not the place you should pass. According to the agreement between the elves and the humans, only caravans with permission were allowed to pass through. You don't have permission flags, go back. ”

Elaina stepped out of the carriage and said, "Your Excellency Guardian, I am Elaina, a high-ranking rain and dew priestess, and I will return to the elven kingdom with a friend of the elves. Please let it go. ”

"It turned out to be His Excellency the Priestess of Rain and Dew, please wait a moment. The male elf behind the battlements said.

It didn't take long for a small door to open under the level. A tall male elf with a long sword approached, escorted by two elven spearmen.

The male elf is not as beautiful as Elala, probably because he has been guarding the border all year round, and if it weren't for the pair of pointed ears, he would not be much different from a good-looking human.

"Lord Elaina, please let me inspect your badge. The male elf said.

Elaine pulled out two golden badges, one of which was a golden rattan weave, one of which was a drop of rain and the other was a clasped hand.

"That's right, the badge of the Raindew Priest and the Honored Guest. The male elf examined the badge and returned it to Elaine, and said, "Can I know the identity of this guest?"

"Your Excellency Xiao Chen from the Tower of China, he is a high-level mage. The Tower of China is a newly important force that has emerged, and it is completely different from the magic towers of the past. It has a very different meaning to us elves. Elaina knew that the guardian would immediately transmit the news to the higher-level administrators, and her explanations were actually meant for the elves.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, the male elf did not answer immediately, waited for a while and said: "The general said that although the guests you gave the badge should be released, there are some things within the elf kingdom recently...... This is not a good time to bring guests in. ”

"Lately?" said Elaina, a little surprised, "I've only been out of here for over a year. ”

"The general said it was just half a year ago. I don't know what he's referring to, but you know, the general doesn't just make such a reminder. ”

"Does the general mean to refuse to let him go?" asked Elaina.

"No, just advice, after all, you're a high-ranking Raindew Priestess. The Guardian said.

Elaina asked Xiao Chen, "You see, the current situation doesn't seem to be suitable for you to enter the kingdom. There may be unexpected troubles. ”

Xiao Chen thought for a while and said, "We don't know how long the trouble they said will last, I don't want to miss this opportunity." Luo Ling may release magic at every moment, and danger is always with her. ”

"Okay. ”

——————————————

Xiao Chen and the others took two horses from the other entourages and passed through the checkpoint. Roger and the others did not have the elves' permission to enter, so they had to return to the nearest human town.

Behind the pass is a continuous forest, the realm of the elves. It is said that this forest is larger than the entire Black Mountain region, and it is inhabited by most of the elves of this world. However, the elven forest is still different from the pure natural forest, and there are still traces of manifold everywhere in the forest they have taken care of.

Stone-paved roads lead in all directions, large enough for two carriages to pass side by side. However, unlike human roads, these roads are shaded by a dense canopy of trees, like green tunnels. In addition, there are many ropeways and platforms between the tall trees, which allow the elves to walk on them.

It is conceivable that if a war breaks out, elven rangers and mages will haunt these places, making it impossible for enemies marching on the ground to defend themselves, so this can be considered both three-dimensional transportation and defense.

Xiao Chen and Elaina walked in for a while, and scattered treehouses began to appear on the trees around them. Most of these treehouses are made of wood and vines, which blend in with the trees. There are often plank roads between the treehouses, which become nodes of the inter-tree transportation network.

"These are mostly the houses of the border guards, and they rest here at night. Elaine introduced Xiao Chen, "We elves love trees, because many of us were born from the World Tree. ”

"You too?"

"Of course, the World Tree is my mother. Speaking of the World Tree, Elaina's face was filled with a smile, "We can perceive the power of the World Tree better than our viviparous brothers and sisters. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have brought you back either. Obtaining the sap of the World Tree requires not only the consent of the Elders, but also the permission of the World Tree itself. It is precisely because I am her favorite child that I am qualified to be a little willful. ”

"What's the difference between a tree-born elf and a viviparous elf?" Xiao Chen said curiously.

"It's no different, know that elves are an egalitarian race. Both the tree and the viviparous are our brothers and sisters. "But...... Tree-born spirits tend to be stronger, as the World Tree may have given us some special gifts when it conceived us. For example, she gave me the gift of healing, which is why I became a rain and dew priest. ”

"So, in fact, among the powerful elves, there are more trees, right?"

“...... Be. Of the five current elven elders, only one was conceived by the elves. Elaine immediately emphasized, "But doesn't that prove that viviparous elves can achieve such an achievement?"

Xiao Chen didn't think that Elaina was lying to him, but Xiao Chen always believed that the ass decided the head. As a high-ranking priest of excellent birth, great talent, and extraordinary beauty, it is not surprising to come to such a conclusion. As for what those viviparous elves themselves think, I'm afraid it's another story.
