Chapter 21: Acquaintances
"Who are you?" asked the ranger as he looked at a few people around the green dragon, because there was everything in it, and the ranger couldn't figure out who the leader was for a moment.
Edward untied the crystal elemental shield on his body, floated forward and said, "I am Carl, and I have come as a guest at the invitation of your city lord, and these are my servants. Mr. Green Dragon, you can go. ”
The parrot is also considered Edward's servant, and Storm also said that he will serve Edward for the next twenty years, so Storm's pet is also Edward's servant.
"Indeed, my guests, go down. ”
Before the ranger could confirm it, a richly dressed elven woman appeared in front of Edward, smiling and introducing to Edward, "Hello, I'm the lord of Gumu Village, Tyvinia. ”
"Carl. Edward was stunned for a moment when he saw the female elf, and then continued to set up his crystal elemental shield, completely protecting himself from the crystal element.
When the parrot on Iron Hero saw it, he flew over Edward's shield and looked at Tyvinia, "Storm has asked me to protect him and fulfill any reasonable requests he makes. If you're nonsense, then I'll only make your death easier. ”
Tivinia's smile was a little stiff, and she couldn't get angry, she couldn't argue with a bird and a child, right?
"I like children very much, I don't understand why you treat me like this?"
Edward had a very bad impression of this female elf, who was one of the murderers who killed himself countless times!
Although it was not like this at the time, Edward knew very well that what he saw at that time was a wooden puppet stand-in, and this female elf, both in name and appearance, was exactly the same as in his memory!
That wedding day has always been a lingering memory, suffering and torture, being manipulated by these creatures as puppets at will, not only physically forced, but also psychologically forcibly distorted.
Constantly erase memories, get the memories and behaviors they want in their way, they can't do it at all, they don't have the consciousness of resistance at all!
These creatures won't even give you the freedom in your heart!
Now he is no longer Edward, it is Carl! Edward silently corrects his mentality in his heart.
It's not that you don't want revenge, but you can't afford to do those things.
Edward felt a deep sense of powerlessness at the thought of Blackfish and the bug that killed everyone in one fell swoop, and now that he had said goodbye to the negative body and the past, no one would ever be unhappy with him.
Edward didn't want to let himself go back to that kind of misery and torture because of hatred.
If you can easily get away from suffering, why turn back?
Edward calmed himself down, slowly regained his confidence under the cold touch of the crystal element, and the uneasiness in his heart quickly disappeared, "Tyvinia, why did you invite me over?"
"It's rude to call an elf by name, but you're a child, so I won't bother with you, remember to call me Sister Tivinia. "Tivinia was very fond of children, and although she was a little upset when she saw Edward's appearance, she teased Edward.
Edward was not an ordinary child, but a high elf with the breath of life, and received the blessing of the goddess of the forest and the care of the deer of Berdin, and was very popular among the elves.
"Lady Divinia, do you have anything to do with me, and if it's all right, we're going to keep going. "Edward wouldn't call this elf his sister.
Tivinia was a little upset, this little child was so uncute.
"What are you still doing here, hurry up and leave!" Tivinia could only vent her anger on the green dragon on the side, controlling the surrounding trees to directly tie up the green dragon, and then threw it out directly.
After venting a little, Tivinia's mood was a little better, and she got down to business at this time.
"Here's the thing, my village has a lot of older trees, hence the name, and recently the oldest trees in the forest have begun to dormant, and some of the older ones have begun to wither, I would like to ask you to investigate the cause of this matter. ”
"Shouldn't you go to the druids for this kind of thing?" Edward is not familiar with the trees, this kind of communication with the trees should be done by the druids, even if the druids can't do it, it's okay to go to the temple and pray to the gods!
Tivinia shook her head and said, "The Ancients refused to communicate with the Druids, and the Druids, knowing that it was the Ancients who voluntarily refused, said that it was the Ancients' own choice, and asked me to respect their choice, and also prevented my men from entering the temple in the city, I went to the Goddess of the Forest to pray, and the Goddess of the Forest gave instructions for me to come to you." You are an elf born from the Tree of Life, and you are a child, the Ancient Trees will not refuse your request, and if you grow up, the Ancient Trees will not approve of you. Now you are the only one among the elves who is suitable for this matter, not only with the life force, but also with the wisdom that children do not have. ”
The druids had a somewhat strange point of view, believing that it was their own decision that someone wanted to die, and that the rest of the people could not interfere, especially some interracial behavior. Elves should respect nature and should not interfere with the will of the trees themselves, especially the will of death.
Druids will kill unhealthy trees when they're not dead, but will definitely respect a tree's decision when they know they want to die.
"Does the death of the Ancients affect you?" asked Edward a crucial question.
Feeling that she had found a soulmate, Tivinia said excitedly: "Of course it has an impact! These are my territory! The production here is mine! My tree is dying, and those druids are still holding me back, asking me to respect nature's decision, why don't they respect my will!!"
In fact, not only the druids, but also the elves of the ancient wood village decided to respect the choice of the ancient trees, they thought that the ancient trees had been disturbed by them for many years, and it was time to rest, and after learning about this matter, they stood on the side of the druids and were ready to move out, which were things that Divinia could not accept.
Edward thought about it, but decided to check it out, as if he knew how different he was from normal elves.
"I'll go over and see, if there's no way, forget it. ”
In the last few days, I will write out all the manuscripts for the next month and publish them regularly, and I may not be online for a few days. (To be continued.) )
