Chapter 29: Twilight Forest (1)

When I opened my eyes, the ceiling was made of thick wood, and the fresh scent of the forest in my breath was in my nose, and the melodious birdsong and insect chirping outside the bed were completely different from the strange birdsong in the misty forest. After taking a deep breath, I felt unexpectedly full, I shook my right hand slightly, the wound had healed, and the place where the hole was originally opened still had a little itchy feeling of wound healing, and I raised my right hand, only to see that the burned place had grown fresh skin, but the color was slightly whiter than the intact skin.

"This is the healing technique of the wood elves, it's really interesting..." I looked at my wounds in amazement, generally speaking, after healing, the body will feel abnormally tired, after all, in order to heal the wound is equivalent to overdrawing the body's ability, or it will not feel at the moment, but if you don't rest well, this fatigue can easily accumulate, and may even cause sequelae such as reduced lifespan. Therefore, even if there are enough priests on the main battlefield, it does not mean that you can send warriors to the battlefield without restrictions, otherwise the combat power will easily be greatly reduced due to multiple healings.

Different from the priest's healing technique, the priest's healing technique comes from the gift of the main god Gaia, although he does not understand the principle, but after the blessing and approval of the Gaia Temple, the priest can borrow the power of Gaia's divine magic, and force the cells to grow rapidly to make the wound heal. The Wood Elf's healing technique is to draw on the magic of nature and accelerate the activity of cells, causing them to heal quickly. In terms of results, it may not be the same. However, although the healing technique of the priest system takes effect quickly, it is easy to leave sequelae and is more effective for external injuries. As for the Wood Elf's healing technique, it is relatively slow to take effect, but it is not easy to leave sequelae, and even for invisible wounds, it can still play a certain effect, and even for magicians who are short of magic or overdrawn mental power, the Wood Elf's healing technique can unexpectedly alleviate the sequelae caused by it.

"Whew......" A steady breathing sound came from the side of the bed, I turned my head to look, only to see a young figure lying on the head of the bed, that familiar and beautiful figure was frowning, the white little hand clutched my sheets, the petite and weak figure was like a wounded little animal, and the breath together made people feel a little heartache.

"Silly girl. I was a little helpless, but I was also a little moved, seeing that she looked like she was not in good spirits, she must have been worried about my injuries and refused to leave, so she simply lay on my bedside. I stroked Cialis's soft black hair, rubbed it slightly, and then moved my hand to Cialis's fair cheek and pressed my thumb on Cialis's frowning brow.

Chillis seemed to sense something, and rubbed her cheek against my hand like a kitten, and then her brow naturally relaxed.

"Levitation. I smiled, lifted Cialis up with compressed air, put her on the bed, and lightly flashed Cialis over her before putting the sheet over her.

I admired Cialis's sleeping position, her petite body curled up in the sheet in the most comfortable position, and the hillside that had not yet grown with her breath also fell together, and the faint sunlight outside the window reflected Cialis into a beautiful picture.

I stretched and walked out the door.

"Ellen-sama, are you awake, Ai-sama and Benjamin-sama invite you to come and dine together. 」

I was startled by the sudden sound, and when I looked in the direction from which it came from, I saw a tall elf woman looking at me with a blank expression.

"Ugh...... Good. I smiled awkwardly at her, but the elven woman just gave him a cold look, turned around lightly, and motioned for Alan to follow.

Alan walked along a wooden corridor, occasionally looking out the window to see dense tree branches, occasionally a clear blue sky, and occasionally other treehouses, some of which were two or three stories long, and some of which were simply small cabins.

"Ai-sama and Benjamin-sama are waiting for you inside. The elf lady stopped at a door, motioned for me to go in, and walked away.

I opened the door without thinking, and saw the old man sitting there in a black mage robe, and sitting across from his table was a blonde elf lady, and the tips of my pink ears seemed to move a little when I came in, and then the lady and the old man stood up and walked towards me together.

"I'm sorry to have you so badly injured in the Misty Forest, although it wasn't our intention, but please forgive us for being inconsiderate. The elf lady saluted me as she spoke, her beautiful blonde hair fluttering with her movements, her expression haughty and indifferent, her temperament noble and beautiful, and her slender and resolute posture, which was indeed similar to what I had imagined to be an elf.

"Oh, hehe, I'm really sorry, I just wanted to test you, but who would have thought that you would be desperate all of a sudden, and it turned out that you couldn't end it up like this. The old man said with a smile, and his expression was not a little embarrassed.

I was about to say something when a white rabbit suddenly sprang out of the Elf Lady's feet. I was stunned for a moment, because I felt some familiarity in this rabbit, and the rabbit seemed to sense my gaze, and looked at me with a human look in his eyes with a bit of resentment and ...... Fearful?

"This is Xiaobai, the water element who grew up with me, and this time it was Mr. Benjamin who asked me to let him test you. The elf lady noticed my gaze and introduced to me. When the White Rabbit heard this, he glanced at me contemptuously, and then jumped away on his own.

"Ugh...... At least you have to tell me what this test is for?...... "It's useless to be angry, after all, the strength is really not at the same level, but I know that this old man is originally called Benjamin......

Ai Xi ushered me to my seat, and after everyone was seated, the elf woman who served next to me brought some water, fruit, and white bread.

"Let me reintroduce you, my name is Aixi, the fourth daughter of the current Elven King of the Twilight Forest, and the Keeper of Truth, Master Benjamin's apprenticeship, and I should be going with you to join you in the United Academy in the near future. Ai Xi introduced himself again, and at the same time respectfully introduced the identity of the old man.

"Hello, I'm Alan. I also politely introduced myself, but I didn't expect that the United Academy also recruits elves, but the age limit should not apply to these long-lived elves.

Benjamin slowly tore a piece of bread and ate it, then took a sip of water. I also ate some of them, but the water was crisp and sweet, and the fruit and bread were quite delicious, so I couldn't help but start eating them because I was just going to try them politely.

"Do you know what the average class of the students admitted this time is? Benjamin waited for me to finish before asking.

"Third Order? At most, it's only the Fourth Order, right?" I guessed, when I chatted with Roland, I learned that whether it is the Royal Knight Academy, the Noble Magic Academy, or the Main Holy Light Academy, the basic entry threshold is the third order, but the average secondary city is probably the first or second order to study.

"There are students from the lowest level 4 to the highest level 6 and above, and there are even many senior students from the academy who participate in this enrollment with the tacit approval of the school administration. Benjamin shook his head.

「...... It's not fair. I was silent for a moment, and reluctantly replied.

"This enrollment is not as simple as you think, there are even political considerations and wrestling with various forces, not only the elves, but even the orcs and dwarves have sent the most elite geniuses of their younger generation to participate in this assessment, and although the dragon clan did not invite them specifically, it is said that the princess of the dragon clan also expressed interest in becoming a student of the United Academy. Benjamin looked at the somewhat surprised teenager in front of him and made up for the blow.

"Orcs, dwarves, elves...... And the dragon clan? This difference in combat power is too obvious, even the combat power of the underage dragon clan is above the fifth order, and the pure-blooded princess of the dragon clan is at least the sixth order, this kind of genius participates in the assessment, how can we still participate. Or is this assessment for the subject?" I said, even if I am confident in my ability, but I have a little understanding of the severity of the situation, I used to use stupid methods to learn magic, resulting in my magic power is far from keeping up with the control of the elements, if you talk about the magic power alone, I am afraid that it is only barely to the fourth order, relying on the understanding of the elements or being able to fight with the fifth order powerhouse. But it's another thing to be with a sixth-order powerhouse, not to mention the innate combat power is amazing, and the cross-level battle is like a dragon clan that eats and drinks.

"No, although there will also be disciplinary considerations in this assessment, except for some extremely biased academic geniuses, everyone must participate in the actual combat assessment, and a mechanism for mutual elimination will be added, of course, the strong above the sixth order are exempt from the exam, but this also means that the number of places released will be further reduced. Benjamin said, there are actually not many places for sixth-order exemptions, only sixth-order powerhouses who really belong to the youth class in the age of the clan can obtain this place, in fact, except for the exceptional existence of the dragon clan, there are actually very few people who can get this place.

"Whew...... It's good that there are no sixth-order people. I let out a long breath. When I looked up, I saw both Benjamin and Ai Xi looking at me with a slightly stunned expression.

"Although there are no sixth-order people, but the fifth-order ones you have to face are all elites, although Roland and them are inexperienced, they are all fifth-order powerhouses, if it weren't for the fact that there are too many enemies, and the only long-range attack class is in a coma, in fact, they won't fall into that situation. Benjamin looked at Alan who was relieved and a little helpless, originally said these words to let Alan recognize the reality, after all, he was a rare friend of his granddaughter, and if he died in the assessment, he would not be able to explain to his granddaughter.

"Hehe, although you defeated my water elemental, but the water elemental is an elemental creature after all, and it has obvious flaws in intelligence and tactics, and if you think of your opponent to that level, you will suffer a big loss. Aixi chuckled lightly, and the little rabbit nestled in Aixi's arms bared her teeth at me.

"I know, but there are some things that can't be avoided, not to mention that people who don't have strength won't be safe anywhere. I am still grateful for the kind reminders of these two men, but I have not forgotten the day when Anna's mother was forcibly taken away, and I have something I truly cherish in this world, and only strength can allow me to protect those things that I cherish.

What's more, I haven't forgotten that the rebirth difficulty of this world is S-level, which means that even if I nest in the castle, sooner or later disaster will come, and the truce between the two sides is likely to be based on those nobles, because they suddenly realized the stupidity of war and stopped fighting. On the contrary, I think that there is only one possibility for such an abrupt truce, and that the world is facing a greater threat, and that this threat is common to both sides and cannot be resolved unilaterally.
