Chapter 299: A City in the Rainforest

"Finally escaped"

Looking at the Chiya City behind him, which was gradually getting smaller, Her Royal Highness the princess's heart felt relaxed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"No, Ellie, don't you have anything else to say at this time?"

"Huh?"

The little one stared at me with wide eyes, not knowing what I meant.

Belch......

'For example'

I mentally recalled the scene in Red Cliff City just now:

Hearing that Her Royal Highness the princess was going to Seganger in person, many elves did not agree.

Everyone gathered around Cecelia, some saying that the trip was too dangerous, and others saying that Ellie would mess up the whole thing.

Secelia pointed to the scorched plain outside the mouth of the gorge, still emitting smoke and ashes.

"Do you prefer Ellie to stay in Red Cliff City?"

All the elven generals and warriors stopped talking at once.

Ah~ah.

At that moment, even I felt extremely embarrassed.

"What, that's it?"

Ellie was clearly unimpressed by the scene I recalled.

She closed her eyes and grinned, spreading her hands.

"It doesn't matter"

Then she suddenly became interested, leaned her face close to me, and said something serious.

"You don't know, those guys in the council, they're verbose."

She stuck her tongue out at me as she spoke.

"Especially when I'm in trouble"

Ooh~

You know you're in trouble.

Oh no, this sentence of complaint in my heart immediately passed from the soul connection.

"Hmph, Stinky Imp"

Ellie was upset for a moment.

"Stubborn, ruthless, rigid, sluggish, and stupid!"

From the little guy's mouth, a bunch of negative words popped up in his head.

After scolding, she jumped off my shoulder, landed on the deck, and then walked towards Liu Xiao.

Full of complaints and unhappiness, from her heart directly to mine.

It made my mood suddenly worse.

"You still say ......"

Before I could say that, Ellie came back to me and shouted at me.

"I don't want to listen!"

Then he covered his ears with both hands, turned around and ran away.

Whew-

I exhaled.

I feel a little uncomfortable.

I don't know if it's my feelings, or if it's passed on from Ellie's side.

Liu Xiao was leaning on the side of the boat, as if he was taking a nap.

Ai Li walked over and sat next to Liu Xiao, hugging her legs and curling up.

"Huh, Ellie?"

"Look, wake up Liu Xiao too"

'Don't I listen, don't talk to me'

Ellie lashed at me inwardly.

"What's wrong?"

Liu Xiao reached out and picked up Ai Li and put it on his lap.

The little guy pouted and lowered his head as if he had been wronged, and didn't say a word like a rag doll.

"Ah, I see"

Liu Xiao took Ellie into her arms like a big sister and touched her little head with concern, as if to comfort her.

"Hmph~Hmph......"

Liu Xiao squinted his eyes, leaned his head on the side of the boat, and hummed a song.

I don't understand what the tune is, probably not at all.

The girl may just hum her mood casually.

Relaxed, calm, as the sky is now.

The flying boat hummed slightly, as if a swarm of small insects with flapping wings were carrying us.

The mountain wind swept past the forest below the boat, shaking the treetops with a rustling sound from far and near.

Like a tidal wave, it swept around us and then spread far away.

I can't believe that this place has been in a state of war until tonight.

Fear...... I'm too nervous, right?

It might be better to take a break.

There were no stars in the sky of the Aurora World, only the lonely moon, releasing a misty and bewitching light.

Forehead......

I shuddered.

I didn't expect the wind sweeping over the boat to be quite cool.

So I got two blankets from the cabin.

"Come"

"Hmmm......"

Liu Xiao's voice was a little blurry, and he seemed to be about to fall asleep.

No way.

I laid out the stall, then picked up Liu Xiao and Ellie, put them on top, and rolled up the stall slightly.

"Uh, I don't want to sleep on the floor"

Liu Xiao chewed in a dreamy voice.

"Well, so be it"

I also sat down, leaned on the side of the boat, and then asked Liu Xiao to lean over.

You can also keep warm by leaning together.

Fortunately, the Aurora World has not yet entered late autumn, and there is not much cold at night.

Since Elle and Liu Xiao don't like the smell in the cabin, let's make do with it on the side of the boat for the night.

"You don't have to be afraid of the cold, do you?"

"Don't talk to me, don't talk to me"

Ellie snuggled in Liu Xiao's arms, turning her face sideways not wanting to see me.

It seems that she has completely offended Her Royal Highness......

'Humph!'

Elle must have heard what I was thinking and snorted inwardly at me.

Doesn't mean to forgive me in the slightest.

"Lady Ellieherana"

Standard Elfish language woke me from my sleep.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, Issadur, we're about an hour away from our destination"

Well?

Only then did I realize that it was already dawning, the sun was slowly rising over the horizon, and the temperature of the sun was gradually warming the air.

When I turned my head, Liu Xiao was holding Ai Li, wrapped in a blanket and leaning on me, and the two of them only showed their heads and faces, quietly closing their eyes, and sleeping comfortably.

Shh

I made a shushing gesture and motioned for the elf to stop calling her.

The elf nodded, and walked lightly back to his post.

Well?

What it tastes like.

Compared to the forest in the Dawn Mountains, the smell is even stronger.

I looked back through the crack in the side of the ship.

Ooh!

Dense forests as far as the eye can see.

The forest was much denser than anywhere else in the Dawn Mountains.

On the plain outside Chiya City, the sparse vegetation looks like a temperate plateau.

Now the scene in front of you looks like a tropical rainforest.

At the end of the rainforest, there are mountains.

The mountains, on the other hand, look more like the gentle undulations of the forest, less of the rugged feel of the peaks of the Dawn Mountains.

Apart from...... That place—

In the direction of our ship's bow, the ground rose up, as if something had come out of the abyss and pierced the earth.

From the endless green, a blue-brown scar was pierced.

A lonely mountain.

From a distance, the entire mountain clings to the surrounding mountains, like a jewel placed on a saddle.

The color of the rock suggests that it is extremely hard, and the whole mountain seems to have been cast from a furnace, without the cracks and collapses.

Some are just the rounded marks that time has left on its skin.

And on the mountainside of this mountain, there is a hidden turquoise city.

If you don't look closely, you won't even be able to tell the buildings built against the mountain.

Not as imposing as Elgonda, nor as rebellious against nature as Red Cliff City.

It looks more primitive and backward, without the pride that a high civilization should have.

Messy unplanned streets, as if clustered spontaneously, without any trace of planning.

This makes it look more like a slum or an old-time town.

That's where we went – Seganger.
