"Hello!" Lukka stepped off the deck and greeted the stunned elven guards.

The two guards had probably seen more than they had seen in their lifetimes, first the never-freezing calm sea froze, then a huge ship like a hill, and now a strange creature that had never seen it before waved at them with a smile on its face.

"Looks like they've never seen a human before. Ollie said.

It wasn't until Nora appeared that the two elves came to their senses and quickly asked, "Is there anything wrong with you coming to the Tower of Peace?"

"Go ask the captain. Nora gestured to Luca.

The yellow-haired elf wanted to walk over, but hesitated, not daring to take a step.

Nora laughed out loud, shook her head, and said, "The captain won't bite you." ”

Lukka nodded and smiled as kindly as he could, explaining his intentions to the elven guards.

"You want to investigate the theft of the Eternal Flame?" the blue-haired elf's eyes widened, "It's been almost a hundred years. ”

"yes, who made human life short, when it first happened, I didn't catch up. Luca said.

"Why are you pursuing these things?" asked the yellow-haired elf.

Dolan leaned over and said, "I'm a bard, and I'm meant to travel all over the world. These humans hadn't seen anything, so I had to come over and see them for myself, so I brought them here. ”

This reason is so far-fetched that Lukka suspects that the two guards will drive him back to the ship in the next second, but they are full of joy.

"Well, you'd better see more here, even if you don't have this story, the scenery here is very good. The blue-haired elf said.

The yellow-haired elf whispered behind him, "But I guess you won't find any clues about that incident." ”

The blue-haired elf didn't turn around, but secretly stomped on the yellow-haired elf's foot with his heel. This small gesture did not escape Luka's eyes, and it was clear that he wanted to stop his companion from talking.

Just as Lukka suspected some of their plots, the blue-haired elf said, "Please pay for the entrance ticket to the island, thirty silver coins per person." There is also a fee for the berthing of the boats, which is fifty silver coins per day. ”

"Yo, so expensive?" Thea frowned, "Let's not go up, okay?"

"Of course, but you're already on the land of Calm Island, so you really don't plan to pay for it?" asked the blue-haired elf, looking up.

Daniel took a step forward: "Are you still planning to rob it?"

The yellow-haired elf estimated the height of the other party, looked at his body shape again, suddenly deflated, and said to his companion: "I just said no, right? No one will come here for a few years, and even if there is, they can't collect money like this, even if the price is raised, it's useless!"

"Are you professional robbers?" Lukka felt as if the other party had encroached on his business.

The yellow-haired elf quickly shook his head: "Of course not, we just want to generate some income." ”

"Alas!" the blue-haired elf sighed, "you won't give money anyway, you come with me, and when you see the head of the guard, he can tell you some of the original situation." ”

Lukka shouted in his heart: This robbery is too unprofessional, isn't it? You gave up after being frightened and not even showing your weapon?

However, of course, he didn't plan to teach these elves robbery skills, after all, it would be better to have fewer pirate peers.

Peace Island is a small round island, with a diameter of just over 300 meters. The tower in the middle, the big tree with its white trunk, is a hundred meters in diameter. The short stretch from the seaside to the bottom of the tower made Luca more and more disappointed.

Before coming here, Nora and Dolan told him that the tower should be a sacred place with a well-guarded and pleasant scenery. But now you can see potholed roads, buildings in disrepair, and mottled and peeling bark. Even on that tree, there were a few branches that were obviously dry, but they were not pruned, but they were half-dead and swayed in the air, and at some point they would fall down and smash on the heads of the two elves.

"Why is this so shabby?" asked Ollie.

"Well, isn't it because I lost those two things?" said the blue-haired elf.

"Could it be that the owner is looking for you to pay compensation?" Luca asked curiously.

"That's not it, those two secret treasures are not the property of one of them, who will they pay for?" the elf shook his head, "We are the safest place to keep valuables in the Boiling Sea, if someone wants to steal something, even if they can get it, there is no way to leave quickly by boat in the calm sea." ”

"Well, that's a deep experience. Luca said.

"However, since the disappearance of the Eternal Flame and the Guide Stone, the other customers who have stored their belongings have also felt that it is no longer safe here, and even if they pay a penalty, they have to take their belongings and find another place to store them themselves. Even tourists who used to come for sightseeing felt that our place was unlucky, and they could hide as far as they could. The elf continued with a sigh.

"So, you have no financial resources. Lukka kind of understood.

"Yes, relying on these liquidated damages and the continuation of the previous ones, it is not easy for us to support us for so many years. The blue-haired elf pointed to the treetops, "If it weren't for the fruit on this sacred tree, we wouldn't even have a problem eating." But now, there is no money to take care of its branches, and even this sacred tree is not as good as it is every year. ”

The yellow-haired elf then added: "The chief of the garrison said that it is not okay to go on like this, and let us increase the berthing and sightseeing fees at the dock several times, but what is the use? There are no tourists at all, and it is not easy for a ship to come, or you like you, you can't charge a penny." ”

Looking at these two yellow-skinned elves, Lukka suddenly felt that he had become the villain who snatched the child's lollipop.

"Don't worry, we'll make up the money when we go back. "Nora is very generous.

"That's great, our sightseeing fee includes accommodation and meals, and although there is nothing to eat, you can rest assured that you are full. The yellow-haired elf was overjoyed.

"Eat enough, then you're probably going to lose the tree. Phil muttered quietly.

Soon, Lukka and the others reached the foot of the tree, and the blue-haired elf opened a wooden door, stopped, and said, "Shatas will take you in, I must go back to the docks, there must be no one standing guard there." ”

Lukka nodded, and followed the yellow-haired elf through the door.

Behind the door is a passage more than ten meters long, and after passing through, an empty hall appears in front of you. The trunk of this tall tree has long since been empty, and it is only supported by a ring of structure outside, and it is a miracle that it has not fallen down for so many years.
