Three-Five-Five, the Past Below

readx;? What does that mean? What do you mean that he became a tree?

After a few seconds of froze, Ian suspected that the Elven Queen was talking nonsense again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 So he simply puffed up his chest and said in a hard voice: "You don't want to give the heart of the elf, I can understand it, but I'm not a child of a few years old, as for using this kind of lie to beat me." Even a child of a few years old won't believe it. ā€

With that, Ian turned to leave. It's not that he has given up, but he thinks that he should go back and think about how to deal with the queen who is not on the outside. And he wants to show an attitude to the elven queen, although he is not a prince, she is not qualified to treat himself like this.

At this moment, the elf queen spoke leisurely:

"Do you know the Iliad?"

Ian stopped.

"Looks like you know. The Elven Queen chuckled, "We Elves are not like you Terrans, and we don't have the habit of distrusting others. Since we said yes, we'll do it, and if you don't believe it, I'll leave it alone. ā€

Ian's heart began to struggle, on the one hand, he really wanted to leave regardless of it, and on the other hand, he felt that there was no need for the elven queen to be so childishly panicked. Even if she really didn't want to hand over the Elven Heart, she couldn't do anything about it.

After a long struggle, he had to turn around again.

"I don't understand what you mean. ā€

"If you know the Iliad, you should understand what the World Tree is. ā€

"It is the abode of the gods Iliad. Ian frowned, "But so what? I know it's the World Tree, but don't tell me the Iliad is on the World Tree." ā€

"It seems that you won't believe it if you don't see it with your own eyes. The Elven Queen raised her chin slightly, her dark green eyes staring at Ian, "I can show you a look, let you see the real, gods." ā€

Ian's heart shuddered.

"Old Pu, take him up. ā€

Lao Pu nodded and walked straight back. Ian glanced at the Elven Queen, gritted his teeth, and followed the old pu. It stands to reason that he should be the one who knows the Iliad best, after all, he still has the seeds of the World Tree behind him.

But how could he explain the World Tree beneath his feet?

The elf queen watched Ian and Lao Pu leave the main hall, feeling a little tired, and when she was about to rest, she saw Nia tiptoeing out and wanted to slip out, her eyes were fixed, and she said coldly: "Where are you going to run?"

Nia's face froze, but she quickly returned to normal and said, "I just want to follow along." ā€

"I think you want to run again, right?" the Elven Queen's tone gradually increased, "Can't you let me worry a little?

"Okay, let me be like you, in this little world for two hundred years?" Nia looked at her mother without fear, "and then died alone like a queen of the past?"

"You!" the Elven Queen's face changed, "what are you talking about!"

"You've been in this palace for many, many years, Mother. Nia lowered her voice, "Do you want me to stay here for another hundred years, just like you?" ā€

"It's our fate, Nia. The elven queen was a little tired, "The outside world no longer belongs to the elves. ā€

"Are elves worse than humans?"

"Of course not. ā€

"But they're still fighting the dragons. Nia glanced meaningfully at the Elven Queen, "And we've been cowering under God's protection for hundreds of years. ā€

......

Old Pu took Ian to a higher place. The steeper and more dangerous the ladder becomes. Ian saw that a thick layer of snow had piled up on the planks, as there were fewer and fewer branches above to block the falling snow, and snowflakes could fall on Ian's shoulders through the sparse branches.

"Hey, what the hell are you going to take me to see?" Ian shouted at the old Pu in front of him.

However, Lao Pu did not answer, and continued to walk forward, and his back soon disappeared into the corner of the branch. Ian gritted his teeth, thinking to himself that this guy really lived up to Fenia's evaluation of him.

He did not dare to look down, for the sun had been setting for a long time, and darkness had enveloped the entire forest, and the moon was looming in the flowing dark clouds. Ian gritted his teeth and followed, even though his hands clutching the armrests were almost unconscious.

He didn't know how long he had walked, maybe ten minutes, maybe a quarter of an hour, maybe half an hour, but at last he walked for a long, long time, until he reached the top of the treetops, where the wooden ladder came to an end. Ian saw a dark figure standing on the other side of the treetops, and he knew it was Old Pu.

"Wow. Just then, a turquoise flask was handed to him.

Ian turned his head to see Nia smiling at him.

"Have some wine. Nia shook the flask, and the wine in the flask made a crisp sound, "Drink some wine and it won't be cold." ā€

Ian shuddered, but instead of taking Nia's flask, he asked, "Why don't you feel cold when you wear so little?"

"How can the elves feel cold?" said Nia proudly, "We are a race that grew up in the snow, and we don't feel cold even if we strip naked. ā€

Strip naked - Ian doesn't feel as cold as he gets.

"Well, thanks. Ian took the flask from Nia, opened the spout and poured himself a mouthful, and the next second he squirted it all out.

"This, this is soju?" Ian felt a pain in his throat as if it had been cut by a knife, "Why do you elves also have soju?"

"I bought it from your Terran village. Nia was a little puzzled, "What, can't you get used to it?"

Ian didn't want to speak, he thought it was elven fruit wine - but anyway, at least it had some effect, he didn't feel that cold. So he returned the flask to Nia and walked towards Old Pu.

Walking to Lao Pu's side, he was just about to speak, but found that Lao Pu had been looking up at something. Ian was a little puzzled, and he also looked up in the direction he was looking.

Dark clouds obscured the moon, and there was nothing but darkness above.

"What are you looking at?" Ian asked.

This time, Lao Pu did not remain silent again, but said one word: "God." ā€

God?

Ian was shocked.

At that moment, the dark cloud that had covered the moon was blown away by the wind, and the moonlight fell with the snowflakes onto the treetops. Ian finally saw what was up there, and then he grew his mouth in surprise, filling his mouth with the cold wind.

He saw a "man" floating in the air.
