"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, I will remember the kindness of the elves. If you need my help someday, wherever you are, please let me know and I'll be back. Chen Tang expressed his gratitude, and he really should be grateful. After all, with the conservatism and stubbornness of the elves, he can actually help him learn the basics of magic without hesitation, no matter how he says it, he needs to show something.
"Don't be so polite, Lord Brian. You brought back news of the Beast God Earth Bear...... Even if this news is sad, it is enough for us to do something for you. The Queen replied gracefully.
"Doloria told me that you have completed your study of the basics of magic, and that your talent is amazing. So...... What are you going to do next?" asked the Queen.
Chen Tang thought about it, he really didn't know what to do next. After all, learning magic is not achieved overnight, even if he is anxious to go home, he can only face reality and come step by step.
"I haven't thought about it yet, but if the elves can allow me to stay in the Silver Forest, I want to get your permission to give me a place to live and study in peace for a while. "The world is still dangerous, until he has enough strength to protect himself. You can't easily enter the realm of orcs to travel, otherwise once you are killed by the orcs as a heretic, you won't be able to cry.
The queen sighed for a moment and agreed to Chen Tang's request: "Yes, I can let you stay in the Silver Jungle and divide a place for you to live." But you also have to promise us that when you learn magic, you must not harm our holy white tree. ”
The Holy White Tree of the Silver Forest is the lifeblood of the Elves, this is a very magical tree, as if the magical barrier they rely on is based on the Holy White Tree in some mysterious way. Chen Tang naturally nodded in agreement.
"Later, I'll have you taken to a quiet place where you can live. It's a shame that we can't let you continue to live in the royal city, after all...... For our people, it is still very uncomfortable for a foreigner to stay here for a long time. ”
Are the elves so straightforward? Chen Tang slandered, and he didn't do anything angry and resentful, but he just looked different from you, which is not pleasing to the eye?
Since the elves were reluctant to contact him, Chen Tang simply declined the queen's invitation to hold a banquet to entertain him, and followed an elf attendant to say goodbye and leave. As for the female scholar Doloria...... She has fulfilled her duties, and it should be said that she will not have any intersection with Chen Tang again.
The elven attendant who led the way barely spoke along the way, just rode forward on a unicorn, and Chen Tang and Nemo the lion followed him. I don't know how long I walked, anyway, I had already left the Elf King City far away. It wasn't until the next day later that I stopped at the end of a small stream, which was not bad, with a small lake with clear water and a lot of fish swimming happily. Because elves are vegetarians, fish have almost no natural predators to reproduce so quickly. On a thick holy white tree next to the lake, a simple tree house was built, which should be Chen Tang's next home.
"Lord Brian, you will live here in the future, and there are many fruit trees around you that you can eat, but please don't harm any living creatures in the forest. The elven waiter said indifferently, obviously seeing the lion Nemo surrounding the lake, very interested in the fish, so he couldn't help but remind.
"Thank you, I will respect the customs of the elves. "Chen Tang's storage ring has meat, and it's not bad for a little fish to eat.
Without saying anything more, the elven attendant bowed and rode away on the unicorn. Chen Tang walked around and looked around, and then said to Nemo, the lion, "Hey, this will be the place where the two of us will live in seclusion in the future." Do you hear what the elf said? Don't hunt any animals, come to me when you're hungry, do you hear?"
Nemo the Lion nodded, and actually understood. Chen Tang was surprised, no, it was just an intermediate-level demonic beast, and he could actually understand human language, could it be that this lion had mutated? ............
Next, Chen Tang lived here with peace of mind and studied Old Junker's magic book. I have to say that with the magic foundation of the elf professor, although it is still obscure, it is possible to see through some content. In order to return home, he did not immediately learn those powerful magics, but first found a book on magic arrays to study. Unconsciously, time passed quickly, and he didn't have any concept of his own, in fact, more than a month had passed.
What Chen Tang didn't know was that in this month, the sky was turned upside down outside the silver jungle. The Celta Orc Kingdom seems to be determined to conquer the Elves. Attacking again and again, and the powerful army became more and more, and finally gathered a full 30,000 regular orc warriors on the other side of the river. That is almost all the elites of the entire Celta Orc Kingdom, Rao is elven race is not bad, but their entire race population of more than 100,000 people is becoming more and more difficult.
In the end, due to the heavy casualties, they had to abandon the defense on the other side of the river, and instead retreated to the silver dense forest barrier to carry out a defensive counterattack. But this was certainly not the way to go, and for this reason, the Elven Queen and the Great Elders even went to the front line in person. ............
No elves had ever come, and it seemed that he had been forgotten as a person. Chen Tang was also happy to be idle, on this day, as usual, he sat by the lake with a magic book to study, and the lion Nemo fluttered butterflies everywhere to play. It was originally very calm, but suddenly Chen Tang raised his head and looked at the sky suspiciously, only to see a very slight ripple rippling in the sky, which was almost impossible to find if he didn't look carefully.
"Magic barrier shock, somewhere is under attack!" Chen Tang knew that the entire silver dense forest within a radius of thousands of miles was covered by this magic barrier. Although the scale is really impressive, it also creates a weakness of weak defense in parts. Ordinary army attacks, naturally unable to break through. However, if there are some equally powerful beings who concentrate on attacking one position and reach the upper limit of the defense of the magic barrier, they will still disappear for a short time, and then they will lose their defensive effect.
"Could it be that the orcs have already hit the edge of the Silver Jungle?" Chen Tang's guess was very accurate, at this time, outside the Silver Forest, there were dozens of Comodo War Behemoths, frantically slamming into the magic barrier. The elven warriors could only stay in the dense forest, and nearly a hundred elven mages used their magic to maintain the crumbling magic barrier. It's not that they don't want to kill or drive away the Comodo War Behemoth, it's that they can't. Because on the back of the giant beast, there were also nearly a hundred beast soul warriors, all of whom released the power of the beast soul and turned into a hideous demonic beast, eyeing the elves.
If the elves can't help but rush out, they just fall into their arms. But if you don't deal with the Comodo War Behemoth, then as time passes, the energy of the elven mages will run out sooner or later, and then the magic barrier will really be in danger.
Nearly 10,000 elven warriors, neatly arranged, guarded next to the magic barrier. This is already all the combat power of the entire elven clan, once the barrier is breached, they need to use their lives to protect the clansmen behind them, and the silver jungle homeland will not be destroyed.
The Elven Queen and several Great Elders looked solemn, and they didn't make a move. Because outside the silver forest, the king of the Celta Orc Kingdom, the war maniac [Otto], with the most powerful royal warriors around him, is eyeing him. They all have to reserve their strength and prepare for the next battle.
Otto, the king of Celta, was a man of the leopard tribe, who did not look too tall, with leopard prints on his face and arms, and his eyes were shining, but he was extremely majestic. Even the strong warriors around him were a little trembling in front of him. Otto is a very powerful beast soul warrior, different from those ordinary beast soul warriors, his strength is very famous in the entire beast world. Even the royal powerhouses of the Lion and Tiger kingdoms are very jealous of Celta. It can be said that if it is a one-on-one battle, the elf queen does not think that she can take advantage of anything.
"Your Majesty, our mage can't hold out for much longer. "Hundreds of elven mages have exhausted all their energy in the face of the almost tireless onslaught of the Comodo war beasts, and Savjak has to report the Queen's critical situation. There was already a hint of anxiety on his usually calm face, such a critical moment had not appeared in many years. I really don't know what kind of madness the leopard people of Celta are, and they will be entangled to death at a heavy price. There is no inextricable hatred between the two races, right?
The Elven Queen gave a faint order: "Continue to guard the magic barrier, and I will send my palace guards over to help you." "The queen has followed Saviak with a dozen magicians, this is the second time she has been sent, and there are less than twenty people left around at the moment.
"Your Majesty, this is not the way to go, we need to come up with a countermeasure. An elven elder said with a solemn face.
"What then, do you want us to beg the orcs for mercy and surrender?, do you know their rude demands, can we do it?" the queen's voice remained the same, but her gaze could no longer remain unwavering.
The Elven Grand Elder was silent, yes, the request made by the king of Celta was too much............ He actually wanted the elves to surrender and pay tribute, and the tribute items actually asked for a hundred unicorns. You must know that even if there are less than two hundred unicorns in the entire Silver Forest, and the unicorns are never their livestock, but their friends, how can the elves hand them over?
Ten thousand steps back, if the orcs can treat the unicorns well, the elves may still consider it. However, according to the news obtained through some channels, the reason why Otto, the king of Celta, went around to wage war against the surrounding tribes and kingdoms was to collect the magical beasts of the light system, and to bring them back not to be used as war beasts or mounts, but to kill them all...... Why did you do this, no one knows! Imagine how the elves would let the unicorn die?
"The elves will not compromise, let's fight to the end!" said the queen resolutely, she had already arranged for someone to lead the people to retreat into the depths of the silver forest, even if they were defeated in the end, they would not be wiped out.
