Chapter 17: O woman
At the windowsill of the promenade.
Xia Fan stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, his eyes calmly overlooking the unobstructed scenery outside the window.
Naturally, there are all kinds of windows for lighting and ventilation inside this giant tree, otherwise the space inside the entire giant tree will be extremely dark, and the interesting thing is that it is basically difficult for normal trees to continue to survive if they are dug like this.
However, this giant tree still maintains its vigorous vitality.
Like a living tall building.
As far as Xia Fan knows.
There are even Treants in the Elven Forest.
That's right.
It is similar to the treants in the previous games Warcraft and the movie Lord of the Rings.
It's just that this kind of tree people are extremely rare, and they have never had a fight with the world.
If the Treant hadn't been exposed.
It looks like an ordinary giant tree, and it's almost only noticeable at the level of the Ranger General.
Evelyn's mother, Helen, had seen and encountered the Treants.
And this tree man is in the central city of the alliance named after the elven goddess.
- Iru.
Usually the elves of Eru are accustomed to referring to this treant as the Ancient Tree of Wisdom.
Because the other party has lived for at least tens of thousands of years, I don't know how many historical ups and downs and changes have been witnessed.
Unfortunately, most of the time the tree man is in a deep sleep.
As for the wild treants.
Helen hadn't seen this before, but she had heard of elves who had met her.
The God-given continent is very large.
The same is true of the Elven Forest, which occupies the small southern half of the God-given Continent.
In terms of the general lifespan of elves.
I'm afraid that I won't be able to visit the entire Elven Forest in my lifetime.
It is important to know that the Elven Forest is not the personal home of the Elves, but also a paradise and habitat for many species.
It's just that the elves are the most famous.
That's why the people of the God-given continent named this vast and endless forest the Elven Forest.
And the Elven Forest will become one of the forbidden areas for humans, not entirely because of the complex relationship between the elves and the terrain of the Elven Forest.
Especially in places where elves have not pioneered.
Even if the elves rush in, their lives will be in danger.
After all, the Forest of Elves has always been rumored to have demigod-level magical beasts.
And these demigod monsters have their own chassis, and each other's well water does not interfere with river water.
But once you provoke them, it will inevitably bring great disaster.
All this Xia Fan knew from Helen's memory.
Despite being the head of a clan.
The problem is that she is not the Elder or Speaker of the Alliance.
Only at this level.
She will be able to learn more about the secrets of the Elven Forest.
"Thank you very much for helping me solve the problem I have been suffering ...... all my life."
Evelyn stood beside Xia Fan.
And deliberately lagged behind a position to show his respect.
"I'm just doing our business as normal. ”
Xia Fan said indifferently.
"Of course I know that, it's just ......"
Evelyn said worriedly.
"It's just that I've helped you too much and doesn't conform to the principle of equivalent exchange at all, so you're upset, right?"
Xia Fan seemed to see through Evelyn's thoughts at a glance.
"Your Excellency is right. ”
Evelyn was stunned when she heard this, and then smiled wryly.
"Actually, you don't have to worry about this, I don't have any intentions or ill intentions against you, you just need to complete your own transaction......"
Xia Fan said casually.
"In fact, it is not easy to take care of these children to grow up healthy, think about it yourself, if one of the children dies in the middle of it, what do you think I will do?"
“......”
Evelyn couldn't help but shudder when she heard this.
"So, you'd better pray that something like this doesn't happen. ”
Xia Fan said softly.
"Otherwise, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people. ”
“...... I have taken note of your admonition. ”
Evelyn took a deep breath and said with a heavy heart.
"Look, so you don't think our deal is unequal, right?"
Xia Fan suddenly turned his head towards Evelyn and smiled slightly.
“...... Your Excellency is right. ”
Evelyn replied with a grin.
That's right.
According to Xia Fan.
From now on, Evelyn will be Lena's babysitter around the clock, and she will have to worry about their safety at all times.
Otherwise, if something happens.
Evelyn couldn't bear Xia Fan's wrath at all.
After all, Xia Fan has already shown his strength.
The most important thing is that this may only be the tip of the iceberg of the opponent's strength.
And the strength of this tip of the iceberg alone has made Evelyn unable to resist.
From the moment he beat Shirley lightly.
Evelyn knew that even the combined strength of the entire clan might not be able to compete with the other.
“...... Your Excellency, I beg your pardon for daring to ask, I wonder when Your Excellency is going to leave? ”
"I'll stay with your clan for a month at most, and after a month, I'll be leaving no matter what. ”
Xia Fan looked at Evelyn with a smile and said.
"What? Are you afraid that I'll stay with your tribe and not leave?"
"Your Excellency misunderstood, I didn't mean that......"
Evelyn immediately explained.
"Tease you. ”
Xia Fan stretched out his hand and gently flicked Evelyn's white head, and walked straight towards the room where Lena and the others were placed.
"I know that you are always wary of me, and I can understand this, but as long as you don't cross the river and tear down the bridge, I will not make it difficult for you. ”
After speaking.
He faded out of Evelyn's eyes.
After Evelyn came back to her senses, she subconsciously touched her forehead that made Xia Fan's fingers flick.
It doesn't hurt.
But I always feel weird in my heart.
Moment.
Evelyn did not follow Charfan back to the room.
Instead, he went back to the place where his mother, Helen, lived.
"Mother, where's Sister Shirley?"
When she came to the room.
Suddenly he found that Helen was the only one in the room, sitting in front of the window with a pensive face.
"She's going to take care of something. ”
Helen raised her head and looked at Evelyn with a serious expression.
"Evelyn, has the Lord already settled?"
"Yes. ”
Evelyn walked up to Helen and said cautiously.
She was actually a little afraid of Helen deep down.
Although she knows that her mother is usually a very kind and gentle person.
But that's only part of the mother's character.
Often, mothers show a different side of her when educating themselves and dealing with tribal affairs.
Majestic, calm, strong.
She even remembers when she made mistakes as a child.
My mother would punish herself mercilessly, and no one could persuade her.
Not to mention the errant clansmen of the tribe.
The only difference is that the mother will comfort herself afterwards, explain the reason for her punishment, and warn her not to make similar mistakes next time!
So.
Every time my mother's face is serious.
Evelyn didn't dare to come out.
"Did he say anything to you?"
Helen nodded slightly.
"Some ......"
Followed by.
Evelyn told Helen exactly what they had said.
“...... Evelyn, tell me more about you and your Excellency, and what you know about him. ”
Helen said thoughtfully.
"Yes......"
Next.
Evelyn naturally didn't dare to hide it in the slightest.
Wait until you're done.
Helen fell into a long contemplation.
on this.
Evelyn naturally didn't dare to disturb in any way.
Until Shirley returns.
This was what made Evelyn feel relieved.
"Sister Helen, I've done what you told me, hey, Evelyn, you're here too!"
Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.
When Shirley came to the room in a little hurry, she seemed to look at Evelyn who was standing beside Helen with some surprise.
"That guy is already settled?"
"Yes, Sister Shirley. ”
Evelyn said truthfully.
"By the way, Sister Shirley, where did you just go?"
"It's nothing, I just asked Shirley to go and inform the elders in the clan to urgently convene an elder meeting tomorrow. ”
Didn't wait for Shirley to speak.
Helen answered Evelyn's doubts with a fluttering word.
"Mother, you are ......"
Evelyn was stunned.
She seemed to think of something, and her mood became a little excited.
"Evelyn, if you have nothing else to do tomorrow, you will follow me to the venue, Mother plans to teach you a good lesson, why Mother can become the patriarch of our clan!"
Helen said calmly.
"As for Shirley, you still have one important thing to accomplish right now......"
said.
Helen's eyes gradually fell on Shirley.
Due to the relationship between Evelyn's side and the greeting in advance.
As soon as food and clothing are needed, someone will help Xia Fan and Lena arrange them.
As night falls.
Lena, who was tired from the journey, couldn't support it anymore and slowly fell into a deep sleep.
Evelyn arranged a very large accommodation for Xia Fan and them.
Basically covers most of the floor.
The whole giant tree is only 12 floors.
Xia Fan was on the eighth floor.
Although this giant tree can indeed carve out more floor space to come out.
However, for the sake of protecting the giant tree, once the more space is excavated, the more detrimental it is to the health of the giant tree.
That's why the elves had to give up the extra excavation.
Speaking of which, the "tall building" made of this giant tree is not the private property of Evelyn's family.
Long ago.
The giant tree was the heart of Evelyn's clan.
Only the patriarch can be inhabited.
Since three generations of Evelyn's family have been patriarchs, the giant tree is like their own home.
Now Evelyn's mother, Helen, has been impeached and removed from the position of patriarch.
Once a new patriarch is elected.
This meant that Evelyn and the others had to move out of the place where they had lived for an unknown number of years.
Even with Xia Fan, they are not qualified to continue to live here.
No way.
Rules are rules.
However, Xia Fan was not worried about this problem at all.
After searching Helen's memories.
With what he knew about this woman, it wouldn't be long before she regained her position as patriarch.
She's not a power-hungry person.
She just thinks very domineeringly that there is no one in the tribe who is more suitable to be the patriarch than herself.
If there is.
She wouldn't hesitate to give up.
Of course.
Perfect.
Elves are no exception.
Helen is also a little selfish in reclaiming the position of patriarch.
She hopes to slowly train Evelyn in the future, so that she is capable enough to compete for the position of the next patriarch.
All this is premised on Evelyn's willingness to become the new patriarch.
As it stands.
Evelyn does have a mind on this.
Knock Knock Knock –
Compared to Lena, who went to bed early.
Xia Fan was still in good spirits.
For him now.
Even if you don't sleep every day.
This is the real immortal cultivator.
While Xia Fan was quietly thinking about his next move in the room.
Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door.
"Come in. ”
Xia Fan raised his eyebrows.
"Your Excellency!"
The next moment.
The door opened.
I saw the tall and gorgeous Shirley walking in expressionlessly.
"Why are you here? You are here to beat my back and pinch my legs!"
Xia Fan seemed to have expected the coming.
He sat on the chair with his legs crossed, and his face couldn't help but show a playful expression.
"This is what I promised you. ”
Shirley said indifferently.
"Well, yes, yes, let me see if you can become a qualified technician. ”
After speaking.
Xia Fan got up and came to his bed and fell down directly.
As for Lena.
Tonight she was resting in another room with the other children.
"What are you doing?"
Moment.
Xia Fan, who didn't see Shirley's reaction, called out to her angrily.
“......”
Shirley seemed to have finally come back to her senses after hearing this, and her breathing became rapid.
She stared at Xia Fan, who was lying leisurely on the bed and even humming softly.
I couldn't help but grit my teeth and walked up step by step.
At the same time, I kept admonishing myself in my heart.
Don't offend him.
Whoever lets the other party is an existence that he can't provoke.
Therefore.
Shirley, who is arrogant by nature, can only remember this humiliation deeply.
Soon.
When she came to the bed, Shirley endured her psychological discomfort and began to beat Xia Fan's back and legs.
"Huh, are you very skilled, did you always beat people's backs and pinched their legs?"
Xia Fan, who was enjoying Shirley's technician service on the bed, asked seemingly casually while humming softly.
“......”
Shirley was silent.
The movements of the hands did not stop.
She's done give people back and leg pinching before.
But the people who can make her beat her back and pinch her legs are all her closest people without exception.
For example, my own grandparents and grandparents.
For example, Sister Helen.
But is it necessary for her to answer Xia Fan?
"By the way, how old are you?"
Xia Fan changed the topic disappreciably.
“...... Three hundred and twenty years old. ”
Shirley was silent for a moment.
Probably because he felt that not answering all the time might cause the other party to be unhappy.
"Three hundred and twenty years old? Calculate your age carefully, it seems that I can be your father or grandfather at my age now. ”
Xia Fan thought for a while.
"Baby, are you married?"
“......”
Shirley listened.
The slender hand that beat Xia Fan's back couldn't help but increase a little more.
However, Xia Fan didn't react at all.
“...... No. ”
"No, that's a big deal, baby, let me tell you, you're an old leftover girl among the elves at your age, and if you don't marry yourself now, you won't be able to marry in the future." ”
Xia Fan said with a look of "I am good for you".
"Look at your sister Helen, other people's daughters have grown so big that they can even get married, but you ...... Alas......"
"I don't need to worry about my affairs!"
Shirley Silver Fang clenched.
"Baby, I'm curious to ask, why haven't you been married......?
Xia Fan suddenly showed a mysterious smile.
"You, like Claire, like your sister Helen?"
