29. Elders
"I used the forbidden technique last night, and now I am very weak, so I will not change my form to meet you, I hope you can understand. The old voice continued.
"May I ask what you are looking for me?" Zhao Yuan said, he felt it, and the increasingly strong sense of calling disappeared, which had been pulling it all the time. And at this time, this ancient voice that spoke to him was the source of these heavenly calls.
"I didn't expect you to get my leaves so coincidentally, so I managed to invite you to help my elves. The old voice said. After hearing this, Zhao Yuan realized that it was the leaves of the Elder Forest in his body that were playing ghosts.
"I should have been asleep at this time, but more than a month ago, I suddenly woke up and sensed danger. So on that day, I used a prophecy spell, and prophecy guided me, and a Terran mage could help me and my elves. And my leaves also happened to sense a human spell, and it was you. There's something familiar about you about you, and I believe in you. The elder said slowly.
Without waiting for Zhao Yuan to ask, he continued: "Yesterday, I sensed that you had entered my territory, so I told my elves to look for you, and after confirming your arrival, I used a more advanced Great Prophecy Technique to find out the source of the danger, but failed. The elder sighed at this.
"To tell you the truth, after I came to the Elven Forest, I also felt that everything here was very familiar and friendly, may I ask if this is also the effect that your leaves have brought to me?" Zhao Yuan asked, if this was the case, he would probably have to reconsider his answer to the Elven Clan's request.
When the elder heard this, he smiled: "That's not the case. If that's the case, I'll give all my leaves to those ninth-order powerhouses, and the elves will never be at ease. Zhao Yuan thought about it, too, because he thought about it.
"As for what you asked me just now, what you are looking for for, I will ask for it bluntly. My elves have always been indisputable, although there are no strong people above the seventh order, but the average level of the clan is around the fifth order, plus my protection, it can be regarded as a very powerful race. But this time I feel the crisis, and it must cause a lot of damage to the elves, so I hope you can live in the elves for a while and give me and my elves some protection. When everything is over, we will give you a good reward as a thank you. The old voice said sincerely.
Zhao Yuan actually felt that this request was quite simple, after all, he had no fixed place to live now, where did he live, but considering the long life span of the elves and elders, he still asked with some concern: "May I ask how long you said about the period of time?"
"Hehe, it's only a year at most, don't worry, I won't let you live in the Elven Forest until you die of old age. The elder fully understood Zhao Yuan's concerns, after all, the lifespan of human beings is always so short.
Hearing the elder's promise, Zhao Yuan relieved himself: "That's no problem, I will try my best to protect the elf clan." ”
After receiving Zhao Yuan's answer, the elder was very satisfied, and the old man's voice also carried a pleasant atmosphere. Suddenly, Zhao Yuan felt that something around him was different, but he couldn't say it, he just felt that the air seemed to be fresher.
It wasn't until he went out from the elder that he was shocked to find that the entire fortress of the elven clan was glowing with a strong breath of life. Some of the small plants that originally grew in the corners of the fortress were crazy to sprout, but it was not an unorderly crazy growth, but the elven fortress was wrapped and decorated more exquisitely. The elves also had joyful and adoring expressions on their faces, chattering in their own language.
"Your Excellency Zhao Yuan, from today onwards, you will be a distinguished guest of our elven clan. The Great Elder greeted him and said with a soft smile on his face. Zhao Yuan noticed that her address to herself had changed, and her attitude became respectful, perhaps it was the elder who conveyed something to her.
"I see those elves seem to be happy, is something going on?" Zhao Yuan asked.
"We elves are completely dependent on the elders to survive, and the worries of the elders are the worries of the elves, and the joy of the elders is the joy of the elves. "Great Elder Kuli's words made Zhao Yuan feel strange for some reason, as if he had heard it somewhere.
"But in my opinion, although the elf clan does not have powerhouses above the seventh order, their comprehensive strength is very good, and most of them are strong and flexible, so they should also be a race that can stand alone on the Cold Beast Continent. This is not Zhao Yuan's flattery, but he really thinks so.
Grand Elder Kuli smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you may not know this, although the elven clan is still quite strong, our lifespan and the time it takes to grow are equally long. Because of our naturally handsome appearance, countless races covet our people. If it weren't for the protection of the elders, any ninth-order powerhouse could have taken our clansmen into slaves, or even captive our race. She paused, then added. "Strength is always everything, and the weak are slaughtered and enslaved after all. ”
A trace of surprise flashed in Zhao Yuan's eyes, he never expected that the Great Elder of the Elf Clan, who was known for his love of nature and peace, would say such a thing. But when you think about it, it doesn't seem bad. In this other world, the higher the level, the more devastating the power will be. Money, power, and power are just vassals, and this idea is similar to what Monroe said back then.
However, Zhao Yuan, who grew up in a peaceful era, could not agree, and in the years he followed his parents, he was used to seeing the power and money, and he also knew that people's hearts were terrible. Those who have reached the peak of their strength, aren't their words and deeds still controlled by the forces behind them?
But he only dared to think about these rebuttals in his heart, after all, the general understanding of people in this world is the supremacy of strength.
Following behind the Great Elder, Zhao Yuan was surprised to find that she had changed another room for herself, which was more spacious and exquisite, not to mention, it was also next to the main root system of a giant tree.
"Your Excellency Zhao Yuan, this is one of the places where our elven clan's magic power is most abundant, and it is just right for you to cultivate here. Grand Elder Kuli said respectfully.
"Thank you......" Zhao Yuan blinked, he didn't know what to say, he didn't need to regain his magic power through meditation at all, he only needed to devour the crystal nucleus.
"By the way, can I usually go to the forest outside the Elven Forest to hunt demonic beasts?" Zhao Yuan suddenly thought of the crystal nucleus that had shrunk by more than half due to the battle with the berserker, and asked.
"Of course you can ......" the Great Elder frowned, feeling strange in his heart for Zhao Yuan's request. "But if you need anything, you can tell me, you are our guest, and we will meet any reasonable request. ”
"No, no, I just want to work on myself. Zhao Yuan also knew in his heart that his secret could not be known casually, so he would make an excuse and fool around.
The Great Elder didn't ask too much, told Zhao Yuan how to get out of the fortress, and then left a detailed map of the neighborhood and left.
Zhao Yuan picked up the map left by the Great Elder, and found that the various signs on it were extremely detailed, including where herbs were produced, the location of various magical beasts, and some special terrain, all of which were marked. However, the only drawback of this map is that Zhao Yuan doesn't know what kind of Warcraft it is written on it. Although he had killed a lot of Warcraft, he wouldn't ask when he killed: "Warcraft Warcraft, what is your name?" So Zhao Yuan didn't know what rank they were of these marked Warcraft.
He is an eighth-order archmage, no matter what kind of magical beast he is, just kill him, Zhao Yuan thought to himself.
It is said that Zhao Yuan has been in another world for a long time, and he was surprised to find that the lingua franca of this world turned out to be Chinese. This puzzled him, because from a scientific point of view, there was no reason why two different planes could have such a high degree of civilization overlap by such a coincidence.
Moreover, the beginning of the "Seven Sects" also made him angry, it is not possible that there is Taoism in this world, right? But he heard that the only sect in the Donghuan Continent is the Bright God Sect.
These questions all made Zhao Yuan feel like he was in a deep fog, as if there was a huge mystery surrounding him, but he couldn't go to the Donghuan Continent to find the answer now, so he could only deal with the matter in front of him first.
So according to what the Great Elder said, he walked all the way out of the elven fortress and returned to the ground of the elven forest, looking at the shady green trees around him, and the small wildflowers dotted among the fluffy grass, Zhao Yuan's mood also became very light, he whistled, and it didn't take long for a tall purple wheeled horse to appear in front of him.
Since the animals in the Elven Forest have a good relationship with the elves and are mostly docile, Zhao Yuan does not plan to hunt them. He followed the map and came all the way to a place called Normandapo. According to the label, it is rich in a herb of the Moon Elves, which is said to be miraculous for elven injuries, but it is also home to difficult social beasts.
Zhao Yuan originally planned to kill a large number of demonic beasts, if he could buy one get one free, it would be good to pick some herbs. According to the elder, the elves may soon have * trouble, and it is definitely right to stock up on more herbs to treat injuries!
The Normanda Slope is a slope full of large and small caves, located at the top of a small hill, and at the end of the slope is a cliff near which the Moon Elf grass grows.
Zhao Yuan didn't dare to let the purple wheel horse run blindly on the slope at this time, what if he stepped into a pit and twisted the horse's hooves. So he had no choice but to walk up the slope on foot, and at the same time restrain the momentum on his body, hoping that the demonic beasts hiding in the cave would take the initiative to run out and attack him.
