Soon came to the garden of Aslan.

From afar, they could see a large and lush tree standing there, and its branches and foliage were about to cover the entire yard.

When she first came over, there was a pilgrimage in her eyes, and when she walked to the gate of the courtyard, she couldn't hold back her excitement, she half-knelt on the ground, saluted the tree of life with elven etiquette, and spoke some elven language that Aslan couldn't understand.

"This is the tree of life of your elves, right?" said Aslan.

An Ning's eyes were full of joy when she looked at the tree of life, and the child who had been away from home for a long time was like seeing her mother again.

"Yes, this is the Tree of Life, although it is not as good as the Tree of Eternity in the Eternal Forest, but this breath will not be wrong. ”

Aslan remembers that when he first looked at the seed, it said that it could be evolved, but how could this evolve?

Aslan tentatively asked, "By the way, is there any difference between the Tree of Eternity and this Tree of Life?"

"Don't you know this, I remember that there should be a record in the magic crystal of the human being. The Tree of Life is the earliest state of the Mother Tree, and then after the baptism of time, the Tree of Life will be sublimated into the Ancient Tree, and then the Tree of Eternity, as for whether there are others on the Tree of Eternity, we don't know. An Ning explained.

"How much time does it take for the Tree of Life to evolve into the Ancient Tree, or does it take anything?" Aslan asked.

"We don't know this, according to our elven history, it was the mother tree that evolved when it reached the state, if I remember correctly, the ancient tree of the Eternal Forest that evolved from the tree of life to the city seems to have taken 10,000 years. An Ning recalled.

10,000 years!

Aslan swallowed, it seemed that he would not be able to see it in his lifetime.

"You have also seen the tree of life, what are you going to do now. Aslan asked, as he prepared to start recruiting the Wind Elves.

An Ning's eyes were full of entanglement when she looked at the Tree of Life, she plucked up her courage and said, "Lord City Lord, can you give us this Tree of Life, it is just an ordinary tree for you humans, but for us elves, it is like our mother. ”

Aslan waved his hand and said, "As soon as you elves come to others, it's not appropriate to ask for things from others. And it's all grown here, how can I give it to you?"

"We wind elves are willing to be your eternal friends, and when you are in danger, we will lend a hand, as for this tree of life, in fact, we elves can communicate with the mother tree to make it move. An Ning said.

Aslan looked at the big tree, and he smiled treacherously and said, "I can give you the tree, but I just don't know if it wants to go with you." ”

"Okay, please keep your promise. An Ning's expression at this time was very happy, it can be said that she has not been so happy at this time in hundreds of years.

An Ning walked to the bottom of the Tree of Life, she half-knelt down, stretched out her hand and gently stroked the trunk, as if trying to communicate with the Tree of Life.

However, slowly An Ning's expression changed, and her final movements became a little stiff, and it could be seen from her expression that she had become a little impatient.

In the end, An Ning lowered her head and retreated.

"Well, the Tree of Life, will it go with you? Aslan asked.

"It doesn't want to. "An Ning's heart at this time seems to be dead, is it true that their wind elves have been abandoned, are they really demons, even the mother tree is not willing to pity them, and would rather stay in a place where human beings live.

Aslan actually knew the result for a long time. This is the tree that Aslan swapped out of the Endless Lord system, and there is also the symbol of the Tree of Life under the list in his system, how can it go with you, you still obediently come to my bowl.

At this time, the Endless Lords system began to release tasks.

"Conquer the Wind Elves and reward one Phantom Shooter and ten Wood Elves for the success of the mission. The mission fails, the Tree of Life withers, and is regarded as a mortal enemy by the Wind Elves. ”

Hearing the reminder of the task, Aslan's scalp was numb, if he was targeted by the Wind Elf, with the current strength of the Wind Elf, there would be no life or death.

Aslan looked at the peace that was a little unrelenting, and he said comfortingly: "The Tree of Life is not willing to accompany you, so there is no way." ”

As if she hadn't heard Aslan's words, An Ning muttered to herself, "What to do, what to do, even the mother tree has abandoned us." ”

Aslan was a little unbearable and said, "Otherwise, you can think of another way." ”

Aslan reached out and gently patted An Ning's shoulder.

An Ning's emotions exploded all of a sudden, and she cried: "What else can I do, my father took his clan around, and when he left, he still grabbed my hand, telling me to take the Wind Elf clan well, and not let our blood be cut off like this." But now we are not willing to protect us even by the Tree of Life, which is close at hand, and if we wait a few hundred years, our Wind Elves will die. ”

Although this woman can be Aslan's grandmother in terms of age, she is still a girl at heart, she has always supported an unyielding image in front of her clan, in fact, her heart is very hard, she thinks that she can also take a good rest, don't worry about those annoying things.

Here today, under the tree of life, she finally has a feeling of coming home, a warmth of throwing herself into her mother's arms.

But the reality woke her up cruelly, and now the grievances in her heart were like a dam bursting its embankment, pouring for thousands of miles.

An Ning threw herself into Aslan's arms all of a sudden, tears pouring down her eyes, and she didn't know why this person's arms actually gave her a warm feeling, not like those humans, but like the breath of their elves.

Aslan was secretly happy in his heart, he looked at the girl in his arms, he tried his best to relax his body, his hand was gently placed on Anning's back, patted gently, and said, "Actually." We can think of other ways, you also said that if you don't have the Tree of Life, it will be difficult for your race to continue, and the Tree of Life is not willing to go with you, you can stay. ”

"Stay?" looked at Aslan with teardrop eyes, making Aslan's heart tremble unconsciously.

"yes, stay. ”

An Ning gently pushed Aslan away and took a few steps back, probably because of her actions just now, which made her face turn a little red. She wiped the tears from her face and said, "Impossible, this human lives here, it is impossible for us elves to live with humans, and you humans have always been unable to tolerate our alien race." ”

"Why not, as long as you keep a normal heart, you can live together well, my Flying City is not only inhabited by humans, at least now there are dwarves living here in addition to humans. Aslan began to carry out his own purpose, to seduce the elf.

"Dwarves? An Ning said in disbelief.

"Yes, they work for me here, I pay them salaries, the weapons of our Flying City are all made by them, the technology forged by the dwarves, I don't think much to say, it is the top on the continent. Aslan laughed.

"Are there really dwarves?" An Ning said, still incredulous.

"If you don't believe me, I'll get you a dwarf right now. Aslan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly ran outside and ordered an attendant, asking him to ask Simalan from the weapons department to come over.

Aslan returned to the courtyard and said to An Ning, "You wait, the dwarves will be there soon." ”

An Ning believed his words a little, but An Ning asked suspiciously: "City Lord, I don't understand why you can tolerate other races living in your territory, if I remember correctly, humans have always been very reluctant to other races, and you are still at war with orcs." ”

Aslan walked under the tree and sat directly under the tree, he especially liked to do this these days, and felt that leaning on this tree made his heart relax a lot.

"I don't know what other people think, at least here, as long as they don't hold weapons against me, as long as they don't have malicious intentions towards my Flying City, they can be my friends, and I welcome everyone to come here to play and even settle here. But if they are enemies of Flying City, then they will only be greeted by the weapons in my hands. ”

"Although we have different appearances, different beliefs, and even very different ways of behaving, but we are all the life of a continent, since God created us at the same time, there must be a reason for us to coexist, why God did not just create the human race or the elf race, but we exist at the same time, which means this, God also hopes that we can get along well and help each other. ”

Aslan said this, the savior-like divine gaze on his face looked up at the Tree of Life, the breeze blew lightly, making Aslan's long flowing hair fly with it, and at the same time, the Tree of Life was also responding to Aslan's words, and the branches shook gently, covering the sunlight shining on Aslan's head.

Everything in front of her made An Ning couldn't help but widen her eyes, she recalled that her father had told him at the beginning that the reason why human beings have always been able to stand tall on the Zaft continent and occupy an absolute hegemonic position is not their dense population, but that every generation will be reincarnated as sages, these sages are the most intelligent and capable people in the continent, they have never been racist, and most of the time they have a compassionate appearance, just like Aslan in front of them.

"Could it be that this city lord is the reincarnation of that ancient sage? An Ning looked at Aslan, who was full of natural light, and couldn't help muttering.
