Headache (Part I)
At night, in the hollow of a huge ancient tree in the Whispering Forest, dozens of huge fireflies on the walls glowed softly, illuminating the newly opened conference hall. In addition to the Lloyd Elder who was still far away in the royal capital of Einfast, the elders of the Elven clan gathered here. In addition, there were three outsiders here, Asa and Aiyime, and the master of Aidelid who came with Aiyime on a flying horse.
"On behalf of the Tower of Teeth, I apologize for the loss caused to the Whispering Forest by this misunderstanding and conflict. Master Adelid bowed to the elders led by Lua. She was dressed in an aqua blue mage robe and covered her head as well, and under the soft light of the huge fireflies, some of her smoky faces were now full of seriousness and apology, and some curly red curls were scattered on her face.
Although Ai Yimei next to her looked curiously at the tables and chairs transformed by the plants made by natural magic, and the fireflies on the walls, she was always a little uncertain and worried. Abin never returned, and the elves went to inspect but did not find the body, and Asa knew that he had probably been taken away by the Tammik Knights. Talis was probably safe for his life, but Ayime was anxious.
Although Master Edridrich was apologizing very respectfully, none of the elven elders, including Lua, had a good-looking face, and there were many elves standing next to him with angry and murderous intent. Half of the Whispering Forest was razed to the ground by magicians, hundreds of elves were killed and wounded, countless deadwood guards were damaged, and the winged Pegasus was wiped out, even the eggs of the three war mantis were used. Even when he was in the forests of Turalea, he could not resist an attack by Negan's army. I am afraid that this kind of thing can no longer be clarified with a 'misunderstanding' and solved with an apology.
The magicians had all left, leaving nothing but a mess behind. They also had dozens of casualties, and all of them were among the elite of the divisional level. It's also miserable. And the culprit Master Aiden didn't even leave a whole corpse, fortunately it was not to the point of death without proof, and the two qi elements that came from the Tower of Teeth later carried the mages who had been eliminated from the control of mind magic, and all the magicians were shocked when they were testified. I only went back in disgrace. Only Master Adelid stayed behind to apologize and discuss other matters with the elves.
Although she is only a woman, she doesn't look very old. But no elven elder dared to look down on this seemingly powerless master. While rescuing dozens of mages on the ground, she single-handedly built a circular wall of ice, so strong that she could withstand the onslaught of hundreds of dead wood guards. This ice wall was tens of meters high, like a huge and incomparable barrel, and the air mages above summoned the qi elemental to burrow into it and carry the mages below.
And to be able to stay here alone, this courage and bearing also have to be admired. The water in the sunwell has been restored by half. No matter how high her mana is, if the elves really want to do it, she probably won't have much room to fight back.
Although the face is ugly. But the elven elders accepted the apology after all. Lua did know Master Aiden's identity as a necromancer. And it's already happened, and everyone is killing and hurting each other. Now that the other party has admitted his mistake, it is impossible to plan to take the centaur to the Tower of Teeth to take revenge. Elves by nature do not like needless battles and casualties.
"Although the necromancer is the ghost of all this, our Tooth Tower is indeed not shirkable. As an apology, I assure you as the owner of the Tower of Tooth and the Tower of Water, that in the future, no matter where the Whispering Forest needs help, we will not refuse. ”
Hearing this promise, the expressions of Lua and the elders softened a little. If only there really could be such a group of allies. The Whispering Forest doesn't have to worry about its safety or strength. The terrifying elemental magic of the battle had left a deep enough impression on them. The elders exchanged glances with each other, and several of them nodded slightly.
"If the elves are interested in elemental magic, we also welcome our elven friends to come to the Tower of Teeth to learn, and we will definitely teach them to you. ”
This sentence made the faces of the elven elders soften a little more, and Lua's eyes even lit up, although according to the classics of the elven race, all magic is actually from the ancient elves, but today, after tens of thousands of years of inheritance, the elven race, which is far away from fighting and killing, in addition to natural magic, elemental magic is almost completely useless, but it is humans who carry it forward. And because the races don't interact with each other, the elves can't learn even if they want to. And this proposal of Master Adelidad is undoubtedly a good opportunity to break this deadlock.
The Forbidden Demon Barrier in the Whispering Forest does not work against the elves, and if the elves do have a chance to learn the powerful elemental magic, then the Whispering Forest is an impenetrable fortress.
Seeing that the faces of the elven elders looked much better, Master Adridrich spoke, "It's just...... There's a favor I need Elder Lua's help, I don't know if it's okay?"
Lua nodded, "Okay." Since the Tower of Teeth can help us so much, what can you say? ”
"The Lord of the Tower of Grandon was severely injured by Aiden and his accomplices somehow, and even I can only tell that it seems to have been caused by a very unique curse, and is now in a deep coma...... I wonder if Elder Lua can use the leaves of the World Tree to heal ......"
"No, I can't. All the elders of the elven clan stood up at the same time, and the look of vigilance in their eyes increased greatly.
"Why? We didn't ask for the Leaf of the World Tree, as long as Elder Lua used the power of the Leaf of the World Tree to use a spell. Master Adrid's face was puzzled. "It is rumored that the recovery magic in the natural spells is not inferior to white magic at all, and I have heard about the spells used by Elder Lua on that war mantis, and I think that only this kind of life magic can save the Lord of the Grandon Tower now. ”
Two of the elders coughed, and the elven elders sat down, knowing that their reaction seemed to be a bit excessive, so they all looked at Lua. Lua nodded, "Then please bring the Lord of Grandon Tower to the Whispering Forest." I tried my best. ”
Adley hurriedly said, "But the Lord of the Granden Tower really can't move now, otherwise his life will be in danger, and I'm afraid I will have to ask Elder Lua to go there in person." ”
Lua immediately nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Several elven elders looked like they were about to speak. Although the Tower of Tooth has been reconciled and has a near-alliance relationship, it does seem dangerous to let the leaves of the World Tree out of the Whispering Forest.
"Otherwise, Master Adrid, why don't you stay here and enjoy the scenery of the Whispering Forest......," Asa suddenly said, who had not spoken until now. "I'll accompany Elder Lua to heal the Lord of the Grandon Tower first. ”
Master Adrid seemed slightly surprised, and couldn't help but glance at Asa, and there was a flash of light in those autumn-like eyes. Then she sighed and said, "If you don't worry, I can stay here as a hostage." I'll go back when you go and heal Master Granddon and come back. ”
"You're so empathetic. Asa smiled and nodded.
"Each other, each other. The mage returned Asa with a charming smile, and winked at him with one eye, and the very clever and powerful ripples in her eyes flicked at him.
"No, we elves don't have the dirty habits of humans. Lua waved her hand directly. "I'll just go. ”
"Elder Rua, your kindness and trust in me are enough to earn the respect of the Tower of Teeth," Master Adridrid turned to look at Rua. "Without further ado, let's go now. I've got a few teleportation scrolls from the Tower of Teeth here, enough for us to get through. ”
"Either you go first, Lord Edride, and we'll come later. Asa preempted Lua's mouth and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you in the Tower of Teeth." Master Adridrich looked at Asa with a slight smile and nodded. He took out two teleportation scrolls and placed them on the table.
"She should indeed be kept as a hostage. ”
It wasn't until Adelid and Aimeh had left together, and the other elven elders had finished their discussions, that Asa frowned and said to Lua.
"If we and the Tower of Tooth can really solve this misunderstanding and become friends, how can we do such a thing as taking someone hostage?" Lua said.
Asa smiled bitterly and said, "Did you know that if you were to fight head-to-head from a distance, this woman might be even more difficult to deal with than that old ghost flying all over the sky? ”
"But she doesn't look like a bad person, and Ai Yimei's sister is also her own disciple. If she had malicious intent, she wouldn't have stopped that fight. Lua said as if with confidence in squeezing her little fist. "I believe she's a good person. ”
"If you want someone to be good, it's best not to seduce him with the opportunity to do bad things. You know, good people do bad things......" Asa let out a long sigh. "But wait, I still have a few things to do before I get to the Tower of Teeth. You come and help me. ”
