Elf.

According to the analysis of the root of the prefix of the lingua franca "elf" in the Western Continent, "big" does not describe size or age, but an honorific that indicates the difference in status. There are nineteen elves recorded in human history, and they appear in front of humans for some reason, displaying amazing power, and are recorded in diaries by horrified eyewitnesses. Of the ten elves who participated in the Second Ancient War, only two survived the end of the war, living in seclusion in the Emerald Tree before disappearing in forbidden magic.

It is speculated that a considerable part of the ancient myths and stories circulating in the northern regions of the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent are related to the Great Elves, but with the destruction of the Northern Continent, this term gradually disappeared from folklore. To this day, are there still elves hiding under the ice fields of the Northern Continent and silently giving birth to new life of elemental elves? This question is destined to be unanswered. There has been no evidence of the existence of elves for thousands of years, but sightings of elves and magical creatures have been sporadic and the northern elves are gradually integrating into human society, and various phenomena suggest that divine magical creatures are slowly reviving in another form, and that the elves who are the high positions of the elemental elves and can create elven life forms should play an important role in this, - of course, it is only irresponsible speculation.

The entry in the "Geographical Survey of the Northern Continent" explained that Jonah had not yet seen it, but this did not prevent him from forming in his mind the basic concept of the word "elf" as holy, powerful, and noble. So, when he saw the inside of the Sanhedrin, Jonah was taken aback.

Equally surprised was every member of the Pitchfork Squad. "What the hell is this......" Danny Stewart stammered, pointing to objects in the hall.

"Don't be presumptuous, salute all the members of the Supreme Council!" the little boy pressed Jonah's head down, and everyone bowed in shock. "This is the Great Elf Gudapeias, the Elder of the Woodland Elves, the President of the Supreme Council, and one of the two leaders of the Emerald Tree. The moonlight elf reined in his temper and introduced respectfully.

The elf didn't return the salute, not even making any sound.

He ...... She...... Is it still alive?" the astrologer asked hesitantly.

"Nonsense! They're alive and well!" the little boy slapped him and said angrily.

The entire temple was occupied by the body of the elf. It was not so much a woodland elf as an old tree that was extremely twisted and swollen, its curved limbs entangled with each other covering the entire zenith, countless vines hanging from above, and the roots of the tree wrapped around a circular gate with overlapping seals. Next to the door, five elves were embedded in the trunk of the tree, their bodies merging with the trees, with only their faces, hands and feet exposed to the air. The elves closed their eyes, like pale plaster statues, and among the overwhelming branches, the upper body of a half-naked woman was revealed. The powerful magic fluctuations that stirred around him were terrifying, and even Jonah had never seen such a powerful energy in the Twelve Lords, and he immediately recognized the identity of the elf in his heart, but he was even more shocked by the form of the elf.

"That's it...... Your Excellency, Elf?" Elliott glanced at the ** woman and immediately looked away.

"No, Eli. Jonah unfolded Syracina's magical vision and muttered, "That body is made of wax-like things, and the main body of the elf is this big tree! The elves trapped in the tree are indeed alive, and their vitality is very strong, and all the energy here is moving around that gate, not only the elves and the five high-level elves, but the magic array is drawing energy from the entire emerald tree and pouring it into the gate, which is the magical power from every resident......"

Hannah nodded with a big gun on his shoulder, "The energy here is so rich that it can drip from the air, it's a terrible concentration, I wonder what's so strange about that door?"

Danny suddenly exclaimed, "You still have the heart to study these problems! The plague is about to spread, and you see that the guys on the steps are falling one by one!"

Sibi ran to the door and looked out, "Really, really, there aren't many people alive down there, there's a circle of rooms around the hall, maybe the survivors have run into the room and hidden, but if it is according to the way everyone says, hiding in the room will also die." ”

"Lord Jonah, we have a key in mind, I wonder if it is in line with what you think?" said the Rose Knight.

"Listen to you. I know you're more thoughtful than I thought. The boy replied immediately.

The knight nodded: "We observed the vector of the plague and the way it is infected, and found that the plague will make choices about the receptors, and the survivors seem to have no common characteristics, but before evacuating just now, we sensed a faint curse aura on the demon wolf." In retrospect, the enemy is a marauder of the six treasures, and they don't need to open the barrier of Seglos the Betrayer, as long as they capture the elven clan guarding the treasure to obtain information. If the plague-spreading dead had killed all of the inhabitants of the new Emerald Tree, their plans would have fallen through, and we can venture to assume that the plague had been set with a condition, one that would allow it to select the characteristics of the Secret Treasure Guardian. ”

Hannah said, "It's the woodland elves who protect the secret treasure, but Mr. Pan Pai has died of the plague, how can this be explained?"

Jonah explained, "It is true that many woodland elves have been killed, but magical creatures of other races have survived, which shows that the selection is not based on race. Eli's words reminded me, little grasshopper, please look for the survivors underneath to see if there are tiny yellow-green spots on their bodies, which may appear on their ears, eyelids, fingers, nose wings, etc. ”

“...... Oh, there really is! There was a guy with eight arms who survived, and he had a lot of green dots on him, uh, that's disgusting......" Sippi reported with his tongue out.

The astrologer and the knight looked at each other. Elliott said, "That's right. The green spot is a disease called 'star spot fever', which is said to be a disease, but it is actually a fever phenomenon caused by a plant curse, it is not fatal, but it is difficult to treat, and farmers who used to grow cold-tolerant root plants in the border areas of the western continent often got this disease, because one in every 10,000 cold-resistant radishes will evolve into a half-elf, and when it is pulled out of the ground, it will release the star spot fever curse. ”

Jonah continued: "I heard from Mr. Koshawar that my parents had this disease, so I was very impressed. Why would the plague spare people infected with spotted fever?"

"Because that's what makes a Secret Treasure Guardian. Hannah suddenly realized, "That is, those who are close to the secret treasure will suffer this curse?"

The knight said: "We suspect that the secret treasure is guarded by powerful botanical magic, and the stargaz fever curse is only the slightest part of it, due to the establishment of the new emerald tree, it is not only the woodland elves who have the opportunity to get close to the secret treasure, but the strong people of the entire temple inhabitants may be infected by starspot fever." I didn't expect this to make them survive. ”

The Moonlight Elf hurriedly said, "Hurry up and say what to do, the old lady's clan is still waiting outside to die!"

"Only by actively contracting starspot fever can you escape this plague!" Jonah said categorically, "First of all, communicate with the elves, let the Supreme Council open the enchantment, gather all the survivors in this temple, and then trigger the cursed magic on the secret treasure to use starspot fever to fight the plague." The young man stretched out his hand and pointed to the circular gate of the tree branches: "If you guess correctly, it is the secret treasure itself!"

When the little girl heard this, she turned into a green light and threw it at the naked woman above the temple, "Got it! I'll make it clear to the old guys now, let them open the barrier, and you bring everyone in...... But the old lady doesn't know anything about the secret treasure, are you sure that the door that leads to it is a secret treasure, Brother Jonah?"

Jonah slapped his staff: "Surely, because it exudes the same aura as the 'Frost Treasure', and maybe even the way to open it is the same......" His words suddenly paused, because he remembered that he hadn't told his friends that the Thorn Elf's secret treasure had been opened, but except for the knight's slight sideways glance, the others didn't seem to hear anything wrong.

The Rose Knight suddenly spoke: "Your Excellency Jonah, the existence of the secret treasure is different, and there is no such hard enchantment here, but more like a passage to somewhere. You should be able to open it with that Annihilation Array Shot Gate, but be careful about the intensity, as long as we have access to the outermost layer of the Starspot Curse, and we must not expose everyone to the more powerful Plantation Curse. ”

"Understood. The young man nodded heavily, slowly approached the gate, and began to prepare for the "Zero Change" attack star array. Hannah and Sibby ran outside to gesture to the magical creatures to instruct them to take refuge, and Danny nervously tightened the large package full of gold coins, and Jeekor, who hadn't opened his mouth since entering the new Emerald Tree, remained silent like a bamboo pole.

Jonah closed his eyes and felt the presence of the starline. Although this is a space created out of thin air, he can still sense the eternal starlight, which makes the boy feel very safe. Suddenly, an old female voice sounded in her ears: "You are here." ”

"Who?" the astrologer replied in his heart, but the other party did not seem to hear him, and only said to himself:

"I'm Gudapeias. I have been guarding this 'forest treasure' in order to keep my agreement with Seglas, but the shock of more than 200 years ago made me realize that the collapse of the world is inevitable and that we must create our own future. Since then, we have used the power of the Emerald Tree to explore the secrets of the Forest Treasure, and we have come very close to the truth of another world...... Come and see what lies behind the gate made by the betrayer, friend of the promise. ”
