When you step out of the carriage, you can feel the towering castle in front of you. The bricks were worn out by time, the roots of the walls were covered with white alkali, and some barbed ferns lay on the walls, and small yellow flowers bloomed among the green leaves.

Outside the closed castle gates, stands a tall eagle-headed figure. It held a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, its head bowed, its eyes fixed on the carriage that stopped in front of it and the visitors who disembarked from it.

"Elves and humans, please make your intentions known."

Clear Sky faced the eagle-headed figure and performed a mage salute: "We are from the Golden Shield Empire, and we have come to the Jade Magic Academy this time to visit a friend. Her name is Dale Jasmine, a human being, and she is an international student in the Department of Nature, and her supervisor is Professor Macatina.

Please inform us on our behalf. ”

The eagle-headed statue returned the salute to the clear sky: "Jasmine fragrance...... I remember her! A popular human girl with a crystal clear and kind heart, and is very intelligent, much loved by Professor Makatina.

Please inform me of your name and my messenger will inform Professor Makatina. ”

A goshawk lands on the shoulder of an eagle-headed figure.

Clear Sky said: "My name is Starry Sky, a steppe elf from the western realm of the Golden Shield Empire. These two are my maids and guards, named Jenverni and Xuelai. ”

The letter eagle flew over the city wall into the academy with the news, and the eagle-headed figure observed the appearance of the clear sky: "Prairie elves? If you don't say it, I really don't see that you are a steppe elf. I had seen steppe elves a long time ago, and they gave me the impression that they were...... Very bold, and you are like a learned forest elf.

Yes...... I don't mean to belittle the steppe elves, please don't mind. ”

Clear Sky said: "It doesn't matter, the environment of the grassland creates the character of the grassland elves, and boldness is not a derogatory term. Because I live in the city, I have the opportunity to get a good education. Now that the Empire is fully developing the Western Frontier Agency, more and more steppe elves will have the opportunity to receive education in the future.

Maybe soon we will be able to build a college of higher learning. ”

The eagle-headed man was as talkative as the forest elve, and he was very curious about the prairie elves, so he chatted with the clear sky.

It didn't take long for the eagle to fly out.

The eagle-headed figure who received the reply pushed the door of the Jade Magic Academy inwards and invited, "Miss Starry Sky, although it was a brief chat, I can sense that you are a knowledgeable scholar.

Welcome to the Jade Magic Academy, Professor Makatina is waiting for you, and you can meet her with my letter eagle. ”

"Thank you, talking to you, let me feel the long heritage of the Jade Magic Academy."

The clear sky left Archer outside, and she took Jenverny and Snow to enter the Emerald Magic Academy. The eagle flew ahead, leading the way.

Walk through the square and a cloister garden to enter the main building of the castle.

Then walk through the spiral staircase, the promenade, and follow the overpass to the side building belonging to the natural department.

Along the way, they met many elven students, and they could easily tell that Clear Sky was not a forest elf, but a grassland elf. However, the good upbringing made them not onlookers, and they were very polite to get out of the way.

Clear Sky also kept smiling, and at the same time whispered to Jenveney beside him: "The atmosphere inside the academy is far more relaxed than outside, it seems that the Jade Magic Academy is still hiding the affairs of the headhunters." ”

Jeffany said: "I don't know if the Jade Magic Academy has found a way to eliminate the headhunters, I like the atmosphere here, I hope it won't be broken." ”

"Anything good is worth guarding, so I'm here."

Follow Shin Ying to Professor Macatina's office.

It is a room full of plants, flowers and vines climb all over the windows, broad leaves hardened into tables, and rattan branches woven into chairs. The shrubs grow into bookshelves, one lattice after another filled with books, and the leaves form different symbols to guide the classification of books.

Professor Makatina wears black-rimmed glasses, has a soft temperament, and is easy to get close to.

"Hello, steppe elves from afar." Professor Makatina bowed to Clear Sky and said kindly, "I have sent my student to find Dale, she should be here soon." You can sit back and relax and taste the nectar tea I just made. ”

Professor Macatina waved his hand, and the plants parted to the sides, making way for the coffee table by the window.

"Thank you, Professor Macatina! In her letters to me, Dale has praised you many times for making nectar tea. ”

Clear Sky walked to the window and sat down, a vine wrapped in a teapot to pour her a cup of hot water, another flower reached above the teacup, and a few drops of nectar flowed into the water along the petals. The nectar is like amber, and after falling into the water, it creates a small fountain, and the spring water is golden and has a sweet smell. When the water falls, a halo of light rises from the mouth of the cup, and when it spreads, it is even more fragrant.

Professor Makatina sat across from the clear sky and asked, "Miss Starry Sky is from the Emerald Court, so she must have heard some news." ”

Clear Sky picked up the teacup and took a sip, which was very aftertaste.

"Yes. We arrived at the Emerald Court last night, and we saw a riot in the harbor. Headhunters...... A name that once appeared briefly and was almost forgotten.

This time the Emerald Forest is really in big trouble. ”

Clear Sky sighed and continued to drink tea.

Professor Makatina had been observing the clear sky as she said, "The Headhunters are indeed in great trouble, but I believe that the forest elves will find a way to destroy them. You may not know that the appearance of the headhunter was the first to be discovered by Dale, and she bought us the most precious time.

Dale is the smartest human student I've ever taught, and I'm going to protect her from any harm. ”

Clear Sky could sense Professor Makatina's wariness of herself, and she put down her teacup and said, "Dale is indeed very smart, and she learns everything quickly. As her friend, I will protect her from any harm. ”

"But......" Professor Makatina said to Janverne and Xuelai before turning to Clear Sky, "you give me a very dangerous feeling, especially your guard, who is supposed to be some kind of transcendent creature cyborg. ”

Forest elves worship nature and oppose physical modification in any situation, especially disgusted by the lack of humanity of transcendent biological modification.

Professor Macatina believes that if the other party is really a friend of Dale, it is Dele's carelessness in making friends, and it is her responsibility as a mentor to prevent Dale from going astray.

If the other party pretends to be a friend, it is actually not good for Dale, and as a tutor, it is more responsible to protect his students.

The surrounding plants slowly moved.

Ignoring the aggressive plants, Clear Sky relaxed and said to Professor Makatina, "Each race has its own values, and only mutual respect can live in harmony. Dale is not a forest elf, and she will one day graduate from the Emerald Magic Academy and return to her world.

And given the troubles the Emerald Forest is facing, I hope to take Daile away this time. ”

Makatina couldn't be sure if the other party was a friend of Dale, so she could only continue to be vigilant. Hearing that Clear Sky was going to take Daile away, she replied, "Daile was the first to discover the Headhunters, and we still need her assistance in many things, so she can't leave the academy for the time being."

She's safe here! ”

"It's not safe for you......

At this time, Dai'er's surprised voice sounded outside the door: "Miss Starry Sky, is it really you?" And Miss Jenverny! What a good day today, it gave me such a big surprise! ”

Makatina heard Dale's voice and immediately withdrew from the attacking plant.

Dale ran over, stopped suddenly, and saluted the clear sky as she did in the Oulu Academy: "Good day, Miss Starry!" ”

Clear Sky nodded: "Dale, I'm going to take you out of the Emerald Forest, and you take Jenverie to pack the luggage that needs to be taken away." ”

Hearing that the clear sky was going to take her away, Daile was stunned on the spot: "Leave? No...... I can't go. I can't abandon my friends and mentors here, that's running away! ”

Jenverny persuaded Dale, "Miss Dale...... Your sister is waiting for you at home. ”

"I'm not leaving!" Dale was resolute, and she said to Clear Sky, "I will do my best to help the forest elves eliminate the headhunters, and I will find the magic spring."

I...... I can't go back right now. ”

Clear Sky said: "Your power here is not much help in eliminating the headhunters, if you can move your sister, the help to the Emerald Forest is definitely greater than your strength alone." ”

Dale asked, "Sister, will she help the Emerald Forest?" ”

Jenvernie took Dale's hand: "Miss Starry Sky is here, your sister will definitely lend a hand." The most important thing now is to inform her of the disaster that is happening here, and it is up to you to fight for how much the eldest lady can help. ”

After listening to Jenverny's words, Dale happily asked Qingtian, "Will you stay and help?" ”

Clear Sky smiled and said, "Do you think you need me to come just to take you away?" ”

"I'm going to pack now!" Dale pulled Jenverny and ran out, not forgetting to shout to Professor Makatina: "Mentor, I want to go home, please help me apply for leave, I will be back soon!" ”

Dale ran fast.

When Clear Sky looked at Professor Makatina again, the elven scholar had already stood up and respectfully performed the highest courtesy: "Your Majesty......"

Clear Sky stretched out her hand to stop Professor Makatina from continuing: "I didn't deliberately disguise myself when I came to the Emerald Forest this time, and it is a kind of wisdom to be able to see that my identity is a kind of wisdom, and it is also a kind of wisdom to be able to pretend not to know.

Sit down, there's only the starry sky. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty...... Miss Starry Sky. Professor Makatina sat down nervously.

The conversation between Dale and the visitors made Professor Makatina realize that Dale's identity was not simple, and it also made her start to re-examine the visiting steppe elf.

Prairie Elves ......

Short green hair, green eyes.

Noble momentum, a strong sense of oppression.

Although Professor Makatina couldn't believe that the other party was the Queen of the Sunny Sky, her growing instincts told her ......

This is the owner of the World Tree authority, the ruler of the Moonlight Court, and the co-owner of the steppe elves and the barbarians of the Western Realms, the Moonlight Queen.

Daile is actually the little princess of the Golden Shield Empire - Daile Augustine.

Her sister is naturally the eldest princess of the empire - Agatha Augustine.

Only with such an identity can we talk about supporting the Emerald Forest like a chat.

The Golden Shield Empire is the most powerful country in the secular world, and the strength of the Queen of the Clear Sky is also the top existence in ancient civilizations.

They are willing to help the Emerald Court, and maybe they can really help the forest elves deal with the headhunters.

Professor Macatina was a little excited, she sat down and clasped her hands a few times to ease her nervousness, and then asked Clear Sky, "Miss Starry Sky, do you have any suggestions on how to eliminate the headhunters?" ”

Clear Sky said: "In the ancient war period, the time from the appearance of the headhunters to their elimination was too short, and there was not much information left, I don't know more than you know, I want to listen to your plan first." It's been a while since you discovered the Headhunters, and you should know something about them. ”

Makatina stood up: "Before receiving you, I was attending the headhunter seminar held by the Academy. If you'd like to attend, the Jade Magic Academy will be a great honor. ”

Clear Sky stood up: "Then don't waste time, take me there!" ”

"Please follow me."

As Sunny Sky followed Makatina out of the office, she said to Snow, "You wait here!" When Dale is ready, let Jenverie take her away without any lingering. ”

"Yes, Miss Starry."

Clear Sky followed Professor Makatina down the hallway to the main building, and after passing through several teaching areas, they walked into a large staircase classroom.

The classroom was filled with faculty members from various departments, and all the elves looked at the podium carefully, even if they noticed a ...... brought in by Professor Makatina The steppe elves, too, just glanced curiously, and immediately turned their attention back to the podium.

Professor Makatina sat down in a corner of the classroom with Clear Sky and whispered to Clear Sky about the person who was speaking on the podium.

"It was Professor Dilai Sisminya of the Society for the Study of Modern Medicine, who had led the organization of a dissection of the capture of headhunters, and now he is explaining what he had discovered during the dissection. Headhunters have a very low brain structure, they don't have a lot of intelligence, but they have a unique way of connecting and are able to convey a lot of information in a short voice.

This makes them very efficient at hunting in groups.

The corpse in the current magic projection is a high-level hunter who can cast powerful spells to provide positive and negative magic status to the hunting team, as well as master some powerful attack magic.

It's hard to imagine that a good magician can be conceived in a short period of time. It is important to know that even the most gifted apprentices of magic need to study and meditate for a long time to gradually master the use of magic.

Headhunters have completely upended our perception of magic.

……”

Clear Sky listened to Professor Makatina's explanation, and also watched Professor Dilai Sismina explain the dissection of the magic projection on the podium.

All the elves in the classroom listened intently, not missing a single detail.

Hope to save the forest elves...... It's all here!
