"Is the Dark Elf stronghold ahead?"

The dry bones and yellow sand leave traces of life, and the ruins and broken walls are the afterglow of civilization.

Arya was wearing a small leather coat, delicate and cute, leading the way.

"Yes. When Elder Ruber and Elder Kober had a dispute over the food, Elder Ruber was furious and led more than a thousand dark elves to leave Naya and move to the ruins in front of them. ”

"Ruins?"

Arya explained, "The Night Ancient Tree summoned by the Dark Elves can dig a vast system of tunnels beneath the ground. Along the corridors, the Dark Elves can build a series of facilities. Because the Dark Night Tree is extremely vigorous, it can move away from the Living Tree. ”

Beyond the dunes, Will looked down from a high place, and the ruins not far away, covered with dark purple vines, dense and intertwined.

This is probably what Arya said about the Dark Night Ancient Tree.

"Who are you?"

Just as Will and Arya were about to enter the ruins, two elves with dark purple skin and long pale silver hair blocked Will's path.

They glanced at Arya, frowned, and said, "What are you doing with a white elf and bringing humans to our territory?"

Arya didn't speak, Will took the first step, took out a rattan badge, and said, "This is a token from Elder Cober, please give it to Elder Ruber, and say that we brought a message from Elder Cober." ”

The two dark elves glanced at each other, and one of them walked into the ruins with a wooden badge.

Arya bit her lip and whispered next to Will, "How are you going to persuade Elder Ruber later?"

"Of course, it's my charisma!"

“.......！”

The Dark Elves' stronghold was established on the ground, and the Night Ancient Tree was deep into the ground, and the branches were flecked with grains and glowing red, illuminating the tunnels underground.

On both sides of the corridor are the houses of the dark elves. Occasionally, ragged dark elves can be seen looking curiously at Will and Arya.

As the dark elves entered the hall, Will finally met Elder Ruber.

Like Cober, he had a big beard, and as soon as they met, he asked, "Arya, what did this old thing ask you to bring?"

"He said he was wrong!"

The hall became quiet for a moment, and Arya's eyes widened and she looked at Will incredulously.

I saw that his expression was sincere, and he said with three tears in his eyes: "Elder Kober ate the salty stuffed food a few days ago, and was shocked by the extreme deliciousness and luxurious taste. He suddenly realized that whatever sweet sand stuffing was a floating cloud. That's why he asked me to come and confess my mistake to you, and he wanted you to move back to Naya. ”

Looking at the gushing Will, Ruber narrowed his eyes, slapped his palm suddenly, and shouted: "Nonsense! I don't know what kind of elf Cober is, how can that old thing admit his mistake to me? What is your purpose?"

"What I said is true! I swear by Cobb's honor and dignity! If I tell a lie, he will never be favored by the female elves again!"

Seeing Will make such a poisonous oath, Ruber breathed a sigh of relief. The atmosphere eased once more, and Will continued, "Elder Cobber regrets it these days! If he hadn't sacrificed to the spirit of nature with a sweet sand filling instead of a more delicious and salty filling, maybe the Tree of Life wouldn't have been sick and dying!"

"What, the Tree of Life is sick?" Ruber was startled and stood up.

"Yes, only the Essence of the Moon can save the Tree of Life at this moment. For the sake of the spirits of nature, for the sake of the tree of life, I implore Elder Rubeus not to be like that heretic who eats sweet sand. Naya needs you, and the Tree of Life needs you!"

Elder Rubeus's beard began to turn up, and the corners of his mouth were grinning, and his face was happy.

"Hahahaha! Since this old thing Cober knows that he is wrong, I don't know him the same way. In that case, I will send a hundred dark elves back with you first, and we dark elves will move back to Naya one after another in the next few days!"

......

Outside the lord's room, Elder Cobber stood at the top of the wide, smooth tree, looked at the dark elves who were summoning the Night Ancient Tree, and asked, "How did you persuade Rubeus to be a stubborn old thing?"

Will stood beside Cobb and said, "He said he was wrong!"

"What?"

Cobb turned his head in surprise and looked at Will with a puzzled expression.

Behind Cober, the elven girl Arya opened her eyes wide again, and looked at Will with an incredulous expression.

"Elder Ruber ate the sweet sand-filled food the other day and was struck by the fragrant flavor and smooth texture. He said to me with tears in his eyes. If he hadn't sacrificed to the spirits of nature with salty stuffing instead of the more delicious sweet sand stuffing, maybe they wouldn't have been displaced all these years and wouldn't have had enough to eat. ”

Elder Cober looked serious and sighed, "Whether it is us or the Dark Elves, losing the Tree of Life is equivalent to losing everything! ”

Although Cober had a worried expression on his face, his upturned beard could not hide the joy in his heart.

"Elder Cober, Elder Lu Bo is thin-faced, so you don't have to be as knowledgeable as this heretic who eats salty stuffing. At present, the most important thing is to save the tree of life and let it grow into an ancient tree of life. ”

Elder Cob smiled happily and said, "I understand, I understand, I'll go down to meet him!"

When Cobb was gone, the top of the tree was empty, and only Will and Arya were left.

Arya looked at Will and asked, "My lord, is this what you call charisma?"

Will put his hands behind him, leaving Arya with a back.

He looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle and said, "Arya, do you know what is most important to the elves?"

"The Tree of Life!"

Arya gave a standard answer.

"No, the tree of life is not the most important. For elves, unity is the most important thing. Only by uniting the Dark Elves with the White Elves will we be able to withstand the next storm. Unity is strength, you know?"

Looking at Will like this, Arya was inexplicably moved. She half-knelt on the ground and said, "I am grateful for all that you have done for the elves and for Naya. ”

"It's good that you get it, and... Give me a hand!" Will reached back, as if trying to find a point of support.

Arya stood up, put her arm around Will, and asked, "My lord, what's wrong with you?"

"The first time I looked up, I had no experience, and I flashed my neck!"

“.......！”
