"Master, the fault this time is all mine, it's all my fault! I will definitely listen to the command in the future!" Sakura looked at the old man apologetically and docilely, and then looked at the companions around him, Faris smiled slightly, the wrinkles on his face were stacked because of this, he touched the head of this tall elf girl, but in front of him was as petite as a bird, and said with a pleasant face: "That's good, but the responsibility for this matter is not all on you." His sword-like gaze shot straight at Qinglong and the Duke, making their hearts tremble.

"All of you are carrying a heavy responsibility this time, but your team is temporarily assembled, if you can't plan carefully and unite as one, the road will be bumpy and difficult, I hope you can take this as a warning!" After the old man finished speaking, he calmly turned around and walked towards the depths of the jungle with the sunlight sprinkled between the trees, and the green dragon behind him took a step forward and shouted: "Farris, please stay!"

"Is there anything else? my child?"

"You're right, the future of our team is unpredictable, and it must be difficult and dangerous, so I hope you can give us some necessary help!" Qinglong's earnest request made the old man turn around, ponder for a moment, and bowed his head: "I have already given you two hints just now, if there is a third one, then it is to be careful of the plot, you know, the invisible enemy is the most terrifying!"

"Be careful of the plot...... Qinglong and the Duke and Lingyue looked at each other, although they understood what Faris meant, but they were at a loss for a while, and the old man seemed to see their confusion, beckoned Qinglong to the front, and said with a smile: "You may not understand it now, but sooner or later you will understand." Until then, let me give you a gift!" he held out his right hand, and the green dragon saw a green seed the size of a soybean in his palm.

"This is ......," Qinglong looked up at Faris in surprise. The old man smiled and nodded, "Yes, this is the seed of life. It can save lives at a critical moment, but it can't save you all. So you have to use it sparingly. Qinglong took it carefully, cautiously put it into the close-fitting bag, and raised his head, the old man was gone.

At the same time, shoots sprout from broken trunks, quickly grow into countless tall and vigorous young shoots on the rain-moistened land and branches, and then soar into the sky with joy, and the broken trees and spider carcasses melt into the soil and become sufficient nourishment. A few minutes later. The previously horrific battlefield in the woods has been revived, and many beautiful flowers have bloomed in the lush grass, and the woods are full of life as if nothing had happened.

"This is simply a miracle, this power of heaven is so admirable!" Ling Yue looked at all this in amazement, and her voice seemed to tremble with excitement. "Unbelievable indeed!" the Duke looked around the vibrant jungle with the same amazement, unable to suppress the amazement in his heart, and admiration and emotion appeared on his face rarely, and muttered: "It is only now that I understand that the power of destruction is not commendable. This kind of power that transforms decay into magic is the most precious meaning of magic!"

......

After separating from Farris, the party soon found themselves on the banks of the River Lanr, which originates in Lake Alice in the heart of the Normanderland Forest, the habitat of the elves. The river is wide and turbulent, making it the largest river on the mainland. Originally, Qinglong and the Duke were going to rely on canoes to cross the river. But when they came to the Laner River, they found that the river was actually very gentle. There was no such thing as it might have been.

"What's going on? It's not the dry season of the Lan'er River, why is the water so gentle?" said Duke Hunter, standing by the river. The clear water of the river bubbled from under his feet, reflecting his skeptical face.

"This may be a good opportunity for us to cross the river, if the water is too strong, the canoe is likely to capsize, why not take this opportunity to hurry over?" Feng Ling, who was standing beside him, looked at the duke's puzzled face, deeply helpless at his suspiciousness, he turned to Qinglong and Lingyue, hoping that they could persuade the duke to make a decision quickly.

"Duke, if you use teleportation magic, can you send all the team members to the other side?"

The Duke replied to Qinglong with a slow shake, and Ling Yue explained: "If all the members of the team are equipped with magical power, the Duke can indeed escort everyone over, and even if some magic power is consumed, they can recover quickly." However, to transport warriors who have no mana in the team to cross the river, the mana consumed will increase exponentially, not only will the duke's mana be depleted, but also a lot of time will be delayed waiting for the mana to be restored. ”

"Then we'll split up, I'll help the six dwarves and orc brothers make canoes, and you send the others to the other side one by one. Qinglong made a decision immediately, and the Duke felt that there was no better way, so he had to act according to the plan. When he returned to the south bank of the river, he saw that Feng Ling and Qinglong were cutting down trees with swords and helping two dwarven craftsmen build canoes.

"Duke, you go over first, I'll go by canoe with Qinglong!" Feng Ling turned around and saw the duke coming forward, so he got up and told the duke about his decision, the duke felt that it was okay, anyway, with Qinglong by their side, he didn't need to worry, so he nodded and agreed.

"Brothers, are you ready?" When the canoe was built, Qinglong waved the oars in his hand and asked his teammates loudly, he saw that the tall orcs and minotaurs had been divided into two groups and sat in the two canoes, while Fengling and the two dwarves were sitting behind him, and with an order, the six oars worked together, and the canoe on the shore slammed into the water, splashing a flying wave.

Qinglong and Fengling rowed forward with all their might, and the two dwarves sitting in the middle of the canoe were inconvenient to row because of their stubby arms, so they were only responsible for stabilizing the hull, and the three canoes crossed the wide water, like arrows from the string parting the current, and rushed to the opposite bank. Seeing that the north bank of the river was already close at hand, the rumbling tide suddenly came from the upstream, and people looked back in surprise, only to see the surging tide like a roaring water dragon, swooping down with teeth and claws, and the soaring waves were like a bloody mouth, swallowing three small boats in an instant. All eight people fell into the water and were swept down by the torrent.

"Oh no!" said the frightened duke, who hurried to the river. Helpless in the face of the surging flood, a white figure suddenly flashed out of him. The silver staff in his hand pointed directly at the rushing river, accompanied by the beautiful chant that could not hide his anxiety, a huge blue magic array bloomed on the surface of the river, and countless blue transparent fish-tailed girls jumped out of the magic array, plunged into the torrent, and swam downstream.

"Water elemental!" the Duke glanced back at Sakura in surprise, deeply relieved that this immature elf girl could help at the critical moment, he beckoned everyone to chase downstream, and soon saw the orc and minotaur warriors who had just been rescued by the water elemental. They're fine. Immediately afterwards the group found two more dwarven old men, who were choked by the water, but both were unharmed, and their words made the duke's heart sink to the bottom.

"In order to save us, the two Honorable Lords Qinglong and Fengling let us hold the canoe, but we were washed downstream by the water!"

"Lingyue, please stay and take care of them, Sakura, Gore, Bodo, Kosco, you come with me!" the Duke galloped forward with the four elves. His eyes searched the banks of the river for the traces of the two men, and he kept praying to the goddess with burning worries to keep them safe.

I don't know how long he has been running, but the duke has gradually lost hope. Suddenly, the captain of the elven guard behind him shouted, "Look, they are there!" Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, only to see a relatively narrow river in the middle of a short distance ahead. A huge spider web stretched across the river, and the green dragon and Feng Ling were like two dragonflies caught in the net. Firmly hanging on to it, the river constantly pounding their bodies. The two held each other's hands and supported each other.

"Quick, Sakura, save them quickly!" The duke hurriedly turned around and ordered loudly, in fact, there was no need for him to say, the elf girl had already begun to cast a spell, and the water element came to the two of them by riding the wind and waves, Qinglong dodged the splashing water droplets with his side face, and signaled to the people on the shore to save Feng Ling first, the duke knew that Qinglong was skilled and proficient in water, and he also agreed, so Sakura first commanded the water element to rescue Feng Ling and send him to the other side of the river.

Seeing that the paladin was about to land, the duke and the others rushed to the shore to prepare to respond, and suddenly heard a shout from Qinglong: "Be careful!" Feng Ling looked back, only to see a huge crocodile from behind his feet with an angular head, open its bloody mouth and pounce up, Feng was taken aback, hurriedly tightened his legs and pounced forward, the crocodile bit the air, shook his tail and pounced again, Gore on the shore bent his bow and shot fast, the arrow slid through a silver light, hitting the crocodile's head, but it was blocked by the hard scales and failed to penetrate. At the critical moment, the elf girl sang loudly, and the river spun rapidly under the urging of the spell, and a whirling column of water rose into the sky, knocking the crocodile into the air, falling heavily into the river, setting off a huge wave on the surface of the river, and Feng Ling took the opportunity to climb the river bank.

Seeing that Feng Ling was fine, the Duke hurriedly asked Sakura to command the water element to respond to the green dragon, Sakura had not yet given the order, only to see the giant crocodile that had just fallen into the water suddenly jumped out of the water, opened its mouth and pounced on the green dragon, the elf ranger was in danger, grabbed the flexible cobwebs with one hand, his legs swayed, and he dodged the crocodile's attack with a beautiful in-situ somersault, and his free right hand had already drawn his sword in his hand, the flying sword cut the cobwebs that stuck to his left hand, and the leather boots lightly stepped on the crocodile's head that had not yet entered the water, and flew to the northern riverbank.

The crocodile that was stepped into the water by the green dragon was unwilling to fail, and turned to chase the people on the shore, when its sharp teeth and fangs poked out of the water and climbed onto the riverbank, it was greeted by the green dragon's longbow and hard crossbow, and the arrow of the silver arrow was murderous, no less than the eyes of the green dragon.

"Go back to the water and find your prey again!"

As if he understood Qinglong's cold elven language, the crocodile hesitated, slowly retreated into the water, and disappeared. Qinglong took the long bow on his back, shook his long wet hair, and looked back to see the duke's concerned gaze, revealing a casual confident smile.

"I thought I was going to lose you!" the Duke patted Qinglong on the shoulder meaningfully, Qinglong's expression was also full of emotion, he sighed, and said, "Master Faris is right, to give others room is to leave room for yourself. He glanced at the duke's puzzled eyes, whistled softly, and saw a huge figure staggering in the dense forest on the other side of the river, the duke looked at the spider on the river bank in surprise, the green dragon bowed with one arm full of gratitude, and bowed to it with one arm in gratitude, and the spider raised his huge front paws in response, turned around and slowly escaped into the shadow of the dense forest.

The group faced the rushing river and returned upstream along the rumbling river bank to meet Ling Yue and others. On the way, Qinglong and the Duke walked at the back of the team, talking about what had just happened, and each had feelings in their hearts. Inadvertently, Qinglong's gaze swept over the front of the team, and saw the paladin Feng Ling and the elf girl Mu Xue Hongying walking side by side, Feng had a sincere expression, as if thanking the other party for the rescue, and Sakura had a sweet smile on her face, shaking her head innocently, and the two talked happily, which made a cloud of sadness rise between Qinglong's eyebrows.

"What's wrong with you?" The anomaly of the green dragon attracted the attention of Duke Hunter, who looked at the green dragon suspiciously, and the elven ranger shook his head lightly, and sighed in a low voice: "Humans and elves, it is difficult to be perfect. The Duke glanced at the melancholy and regretful expression on his face, and looked back at the young men and women walking in front of the group, Sakura Sage's smile and brisk steps, Kaede followed her within two steps, and the appreciation in his eyes made it seem as if she was a fine work of art.

"What are your plans?" the comprehending duke asked with a vague glance at the other three elves, turning his face to the side of the green dragon. "I don't have any plans," Qinglong hugged his chest tightly with his arms, as if to suppress the worries buried in his heart and prevent them from disturbing his mind, "I don't want to break them up, I also want them to be happy, I'm just worried that there are some things that we can't grasp." From his meaningful expression, the Duke read an indelible sad aftertaste, he glanced at the young man and woman who were still in the authorities, nodded and sighed: "I understand what you mean. In the era of war, countless loves and friendships were shattered in the fate of the race, which is indeed sad to think about. But the war is over, isn't it? It only stays in the hearts of those who have experienced it, and young people should not be affected by the painful experiences of those who have gone before, and they should enjoy their own happy years. ”

"Maybe you're right, it's all over, may they be happy. Qinglong's eyes closed with a soft sigh, and the figure of the woman in black flashed in his mind, and quickly disappeared again. Little did he know that at this very moment, on the edge of a cliff upstream, a beautiful young woman in black, with a sorrow and sorrow—and perhaps fear—on her face befitting her age and beauty, looked down at the crowd downstream.

"You've failed again. ”

The girl turned around in horror and saw a man in a blue cloak.

"I ......" the girl wanted to argue, but when her eyes met the man's cold eyes, she immediately became trembling.

The tall man was covered in a royal blue cloak, embroidered with a noble motif of gold thread, a griffin with teeth and claws on the left, and a flying horse with wings on the right, standing opposite each other, surrounded by an upside-down golden sword, a noble symbol that would terrify mortals who knew it, because it was the family crest of the royal family of the previous dynasty, Eindis. This descendant of the royal family walked with an elegant and calm gait, exuded the noble temperament of the nobility in his gestures, and his eyes were deep and hollow, which seemed frustrated and helpless, but in the eyes of connoisseurs, he could see the deep, chilling gloom and cunning hidden in them.
