The sun shines through the mist, leaving patches of faintly changing gold on top of the different greens, setting off the vigorous and dreamy "natural residence".

Julisian and Felipe and the rest of the "delegation" followed Ellerstin and Exiion through the treehouse, watched by daring and shy elves, their pointed ears slightly shaking, and their clothes woven of leaves close to the body and elegant.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have lived here during this time, and you must not wander around, some elves are not friendly to humans. Ellerstin said, pointing to a grove of dozens of trees, with enough treehouses on it.

Listening to her words, Afrith flicked his tail and said solemnly, "No problem. ”

It heard very well that some of the elves were only unfriendly to humans, and it seemed that it could go around and collect some souvenirs.

Jurisian smiled at Ellerstine and said, "Your Highness Princess, please also give me the list of fallen and demonized elves. ”

"They're all in the 'Prison Cell' near the Elven Tree, and you're going to investigate now?" Acknowledgement echoed the mages' positive attitude.

Yurisian shook his head: "In that case, Lord Evans, they will definitely go to check, we are still going around the forest, asking these friends of the fallen elves, to find out the specific situation, so ......"

He was smiling, and he stopped at the point.

Ellerstin nodded slightly, "I'll give you the information of the Fallen Elves and their friends." ”

"It's best to name those who had the most contact with them before the Fall. Felipe, who was next to him, added, although it looked like an infection caused by the abyssal breath. However, before the matter is investigated, no possibility can be ruled out, otherwise it will be easy to be deceived by others.

Exirion's face changed slightly, and then he nodded in agreement.

This is not that he is a thief, but the most normal reaction of any elf high-level after hearing Felipe's words, he suspects that something is wrong within the elves.

In the sunlight, Felipe's face resembled that of a vampire who had been lying in a coffin for years without going out, though he didn't explain that this was a normal course of investigation, leaving Exilion and Ellerstin to speculate that someone might be out of breath. What about jumping out on your own?

Ten minutes later. Annick and Sprint took the list and the marked locations and headed southeast of the forest.

"Ulmer, a good friend of the fallen elf Kellet......" Annick read the list.

Under the gaze of the fairies, who were both men and women, his face flushed uncontrollably, so he quickly threw himself a "mechanical mind".

Sprint glanced at him, "What's so shy about this? We're investigators." Nature is in an active position. They should be nervous!"

"I'm always nervous when I'm faced with strangers. Inability to control emotions. The flush on Annick's face faded, and his eyes became cold and merciless, like an iron golem.

Sprint pouted, "Nervous? Saying something wrong and doing something wrong is a common occurrence. ”

"It's funny that we're worried about making a bad impression on them, we don't know if we'll be able to come back to Stroop Forest, what if you do something very humiliating? ”

He has always criticized Annick's character, and this time he accepted Heidi's "commission" to help make Annick more confident and bold, so that he could better face his teacher and put the Arcane argument aside.

"Why? I like this shy boy the most, it shows that he is very pure and innocent in his heart!" Suddenly, a soft voice joined their conversation.

Not necessarily, the word "sullen" invented by the teacher has been recognized, and Sprint followed the sound while scolding, and saw a beautiful elf with a melon seed face approaching, with black hair, silver skin, dressed in a simple leaf suit, and carrying a harp in her hand.

Glancing up and down, Splinter secretly said to Annick: "There is an elf who has taken a fancy to you, don't let go of this opportunity, otherwise with your character, you are destined to be single in this life." ”

He cleared his throat and asked his friend, "This lady, I don't know what to call you?"

"I'm male. The pretty elf's pointed, soft ears swayed, and she seemed to be no stranger to the situation.

Even with a "mechanical mind", Annick's face became very ugly, and Sprint even twitched his facial muscles and said, "Are you a man?

The beautiful elf shook the harp in her hand, with the temperament of a poet: "Love knows no gender." ”

Annick pulled Sprint, resisted the discomfort, and turned away.

"No wonder the materials in the Arcane Library say that the elves love art and have all kinds of strange special preferences due to their long and leisurely lives......" Sprint repented deeply and feared, almost pushing his friend into the abyss.

Before Annick could answer, the beautiful elf behind him smiled and said, "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Ulmer, I just heard you pronounce my name?"

He is a moon elf and has excellent hearing, especially when the wind is good in the forest.

"Ulmer?" Sprint and Annick paused, both turning around with a look on their faces.

"Mr. Ulmer, we have something to ask you. Eventually, Annick, who had been blessed with a "mechanical mind," asked "plucking up courage."

Ulmer smiled and said, "What do you think of the lyre, and has the improvement of the harp been lost in the most essential thing?"

"......" Annick and Sprint were speechless for a moment, although their teacher was a great musician, they followed him to learn arcane and magic, not music!

Ulmer shook his head with a sigh: "If we don't know art, we can't be friends, and if we don't have friends, it's hard for us to talk happily, do you have any opinions on wax figures? It's interesting, do you like it?"

"......" Sprint and Annick were stunned again, and suddenly felt that their usual life was too "styleless".

"You don't understand the wax figures, well, what about the lost civilizations? I heard that the Magic Council has found a relic of a steam civilization?" Ulmer said disappointed.

Whew, Annick and Sprint let out a long breath at the same time, discussing history and lost civilizations is every arcanist's specialty, otherwise there is no way to risk and identify things, and this ruin was discovered by his own teacher.

After a pleasant conversation, Ulmer finally relented: "Two guests came to ask about Kellet?"

"Yes, we wonder if there were any signs of abnormality before he fell?" Annick was relieved. Hurriedly asked.

Ulmer's long, well-proportioned hand plucked the strings twice. Bringing out a beautiful note, he said gloomily: "Everything is fine, Kellett also said that he has learned a special dance and is going to show me." Outcome...... And he fell and demonized......"

The voice gradually deepened. Near silent.

"Special dance?" Annick was shy. But his character is cautious and delicate, and he didn't let go of any clues.

"It's our agreement to compose poems and music for each other. Or choreograph a variety of special dances according to the records of different civilizations to please each other. Ulmer explained, looking gloomy.

This doesn't seem to be a problem...... Sprint continued, "Did Kellet get close to anyone other than you, or what kind of elves did he get close to?"

"We are all natural balancers, and we all like music, carvings, oil paintings, and other things in human society. Ulmer didn't hide it, and suddenly remembered something, "He has a few friends from the Nature Hate, but the 'Natural Residence' is a small circle, who doesn't have a few friends from the Nature Hate......ful Sect?

This was the main clue provided by the Elven Court, and both Annick and Sprint knew that they could not find any other valuable information, so they took their leave of Ulmer and searched for the next elf on the list.

............

Heidi and Katrina also carried a list and walked through the forests guarded by the "natural dwelling", and from time to time they saw elves holding statues of dead tree roots, or painting on bark paper with special natural pigments, a leisurely and tranquil social scene.

"Everybody......

In a clearing in front of them, hundreds of elves gathered, and a medium-sized female elf stood on a tree, giving a speech - Heidi's ability to affirm gender was mainly distinguished by the way the elves dressed, the female elves were generally long dresses woven of tender green leaves, and the male elves were dressed in leaves with two pieces of leaves, surrounded by animal skins.

If they were dressed the same, Heidi and Katrina would have to be more careful to distinguish between them, after all, the elves were relatively slender and beautiful, both men and women, and they could not be rudely identified by magic.

Stopping at the edge of the clearing, Katrina tugged at the corner of Heidi's coat and pointed to the other side, "Mr. Felipe......"

The gloomy Felipe put his hands in his pockets and stood quietly under a large tree, listening to the elven girl's speech.

“...... I'm Nord Daniel, and I'm here to call on everyone to kill more spotted deer. The elven girl's voice was high-pitched but not sharp.

"What?"

"Such a docile forest animal as a spotted deer?"

The elves below expressed their puzzlement.

Nordaniel Heidi and Katrina looked at each other, and this was what they were going to seek.

"The abyssal rift out of control event has made the hunters in the forest crazy and bloodthirsty, so we have killed a lot of them, and their numbers have decreased dramatically, in this case, the spotted deer that lack natural predators will grow uncontrollably, and their fertility is comparable to that of rats," said Nordiel earnestly. ”

"If the spotted deer exceed a certain limit, they will cause irreparable damage to the forest by feeding on rhizomes, tubers and other things. ”

"We must maintain the balance of nature!"

This is the "Balance of Nature"? Heidi and Leilia listened excitedly.

It wasn't until Nordaniel finished his speech that most of the elves accepted it, and the two of them greeted him. (To be continued......)
