Chapter Seventy-Nine: Colorful Pearls
Long Ming and the others followed Empress Sophia to the big house, only to see Xiao Ge tied up like a dumpling by vines, he saw Long Ming bring people in, and hurriedly struggled and shouted: "Captain, save me!"
"Can you let him go first?" Long Ming saw Xiao Ge's embarrassed appearance and said to Empress Sophia.
"Of course, it's a misunderstanding, I'm sorry, we caught the wrong person. Empress Sophia hurriedly ordered someone to untie Xiao Ge.
After Xiao Ge regained his freedom, he hurriedly ran behind Long Ming and them, fearing that he would be arrested again. Empress Sophia walked back to her seat, and the elves who came in together also stood on both sides, leaving Long Ming and the others in the middle.
Empress Sophia said, "Thank you for helping us drive out the Night Elves, you are our benefactors. Also, welcome to our kingdom of light elves, and we will be taking out our food to enjoy with you in a moment as a token of gratitude. ”
As she spoke, Empress Sophia stretched out her hand and motioned to the elves next to her to get food, and soon all kinds of fruits and wines were served, seeing that the elf queen was so hospitable, Long Ming and they all had to sit down.
"I'm curious, Your Majesty, aren't you elves very peace-loving, how can there be a war on this small island now?"
"It's a long story. Empress Sophia sighed and said, "You're right, we elves are all kind-natured and peace-loving races, including the Night Elves. Thousands of years ago, we lived on the Tianxuan Continent. But because of the human race, there are also humans and beasts, and there are often wars between the demons, and the flames of war have gradually spread to the forest where our elves live, and our elves don't want to get involved. As a last resort, we had to lead all our people to move overseas, and we Light Elves and Night Elves came to this island together, and the environment here was perfect for us to survive, and we were happy at first. But then, for some unknown reason, the Night Elves suddenly attacked us, fighting for land and food. We light elves had no way back, so we had to fight them. The war between us has been going on for hundreds of years, and we have won and lost each other, but in recent years we have been losing and retreating, because we don't have any magicians of the light system anymore. ”
"Can you win with a light magician?" asked Long Ming.
"Yes, the light magic is the nemesis of the night elves' shadow magic, so after you came to release the light magic today, they quickly retreated. Empress Sophia said.
"Oh, the Night Elves were originally kind and peace-loving, how could it be like this, have you investigated?"
"We've checked that the Night Elves like to live underground, and there is a kind of ground berry in the underground of this island, and the Night Elves may have eaten a lot of this ground berry vegetable and caused a great change in temperament. Empress Sophia said.
"Oh, I see, why don't you destroy all these berries and not give them to eat? Long Ming said.
"We want to do the same, but it's addictive to eating this ground berry, the Night Elves don't allow us to go near their underground kingdom at all, and they come to fight for our land for this kind of land berry. Empress Sophia sighed.
"You also have it here, why don't you eat it?" Long Ming said.
"We don't like to eat this kind of ground berry because it tastes weird, but the Night Elves love it. Empress Sophia said.
"Oh, in that case, we won't be able to help much, we have to continue sailing to the Demon Beast Mountain Range near the Heavenly Demon Empire. Have all your Light Mages been sacrificed?" Long Ming said.
"We've always had only one Light Mage. Empress Sophia suddenly looked sad when she said this, and her eyes burst into tears: "She is my daughter, her name is Mi Duo, a real angel in our kingdom of light elves, she used light magic to repel the night elves many times and protect our homeland, but a few years ago, she was plotted by the night elves, fell under their magic curse, and is still unconscious." ”
Looking at Empress Sophia's sad appearance, Long Ming asked carefully: "Your Majesty, many magic curses can be broken, I heard that your elven clan has a thorough study of magic, is there no way to crack Princess Miduo's curse?"
"Naturally, we thought about how to crack it, but in the end there was something missing. Empress Sophia sighed.
"What's missing, can't get it?" Long Ming asked.
"Lack of rainbow colorful pearls, if you want to find the colorful pearls, you have to go deep into the bottom of the sea, find the sea mussel, and snatch the colorful pearls from its mouth, we also went down to the bottom of the sea to find it, but every time we were attacked by a big squid in the middle of the bottom, it released toxins and ink, and the tentacles were tens of meters long, we were not opponents at all, so there was no way to find the sea mussels. Empress Sophia sighed.
"The big squid has no enmity with you, so why would he attack you every time?" Helian Ziyun, who was sitting on the side, interjected at this time.
"Actually, this big squid is a shadow creature in captivity by the Night Elves, and it obeys the orders of the Night Elves, who often pick ground berries and feed them, and use magic to control it. Empress Sophia said.
"Oh, no wonder, it turned out to be a shadow creature raised by the Night Elves. Helian Ziyun was relieved.
"Isn't there anything you can do to deal with the big squid?" Long Ming said.
"The only way to deal with this big squid is to use light magic...... Ah, that's right!" Empress Sophia suddenly remembered something: "Captain, aren't you a light magician, can you help us defeat the big squid, so we can find the Colorful Pearl." ”
"No!" Helian Ziyun immediately objected: "It's too dangerous, how can we take risks." ”
"Please, save my daughter!" Empress Sophia became very emotional at this time, and actually walked over and knelt down to Long Ming.
"Your Majesty, don't do this, let's do our best!" Long Ming hurriedly helped Empress Sophia up.
"Captain, did you promise to help us?" said Empress Sophia, who stopped crying slightly.
"I'm not sure if I can help you, I'll give it a try. Long Ming said.
"Oh, husband......" Helian Ziyun tugged Long Ming's arm, very worried.
"Don't worry, I'll flee back immediately if there's danger. Long Ming patted Helian Ziyun's little hand and comforted.
"Thank you so much, Captain. Empress Sophia wept again.
