The elven country that Ziggy is going to is one of the three major capitals of the elven race, located in the south-central part of the entire continent.

and located in the north of the continent, further north across the Santa Ana snowfield, to the endless sea of Alestale, very far away.

After confirming the feasibility of the alchemy locomotive, Avia immediately transformed the prototype, added a series of structures with optimized functions such as a suspension system, and then rubbed another alchemy locomotive with the help of Wang Yu.

In this way, using the alchemy locomotive as a means of transportation, the two of them and the two dragons rushed all the way to the elven capital in the middle of the continent.

Naturally, no one builds roads in the wild environment, but there is an existence of extraordinary power, whether it is Wang Yu's hand rubbing the road or Avia's magic, it can ensure that the alchemy locomotive can move unhindered in any environment.

Even if there is a malfunction, it is fine, in the amazement of Ziggy, Wang Yu can drive the chariot to repair the broken parts as before.

More than ten days later, through the ownerless border deliberately set aside between the kingdoms of various intelligent races for merchants and travelers, Wang Yu and his party passed through several human kingdoms and an orc kingdom, and arrived in the forest near the elven capital.

This place is on the map on the outskirts of the elven capital called Leahim, the Forest of Origin, which is the name of this forest.

"Woo!"

The red dragon girl Noelle poked at the tree beside her with a little curiosity, and then she was startled by the sudden writhing tree and ran to Avia's side.

"You also feel the extraordinary vitality of that tree, right, that's why this forest is called the Origin. ”

"The roots of the trees here are basically deep underground, and they are entangled with the roots of the tree of life in the south of the center of the forest, the center of the forest, and receive sustenance from the "mother" of this forest. ”

"That's why the trees in this forest are so tall and lush, the unique tree of life, which draws the energy of the sun and the magical moon, including the free magic beneath the sky, and transforms them into life force and shares them with all life around them."

Ziggy looked at the startled Noelle and explained with a smile.

"In other words, the twisting tree just now is actually a tree spirit?"

Wang Yu leaned out of his perception and was a little surprised to find that the underground part of the tree just now actually had an ingrown root system similar to the legs and feet, so he told his guess.

"Yes, the environment with extremely rich vitality makes the trees here grow well, and it is also easier to give birth to magical creatures under the influence of magic, such as tree spirits and the like, and the tree that Noelle touched just now should be a young tree spirit."

Ziggy said, walking over to the "old oak tree" that had been poked and twisted by Noelle, taking out a magic crystal from his pocket and sticking it to the trunk.

"These dryads are friendly, and if they're young, they'll probably be ...... Yes, exactly. ”

A wonderful scene appeared, and the trunk of the tree automatically opened a hole, sucking the small magic crystal in Zigger's hand into the trunk.

The dryad who had obtained the magic crystal seemed to be very happy, and writhed its body, the leaves and branches swayed together, and then a plump emerald green fruit fell from above, smashed it on Zig's head, and he caught it.

"Give, taste, for the young tree spirits, when they have enough vitality, absorbing magic is the biggest problem they face."

"The magic crystals that can be incorporated into the body are much easier to absorb than the free magic power in space, which helps them to transform their life forms, so they will give a thank you gift."

Throwing the green fruit in his hand to Wang Yu, who guessed correctly that the tree was a goblin, the professor introduced the special landscape of this forest.

"This tastes, great!"

Wang Yu took the green plump fruit and found that this thing looked like a plum, but in fact, the outer layer of the peel was inedible, and what was really edible was the red and orange-like flesh that was peeled off the smooth peel inside.

When I break two petals and stuff them into my mouth, the sweet and sour juice fills my mouth the moment the flesh is bitten open, and it tastes like a lemon with a sour taste and a suitable sweetness, which is extremely refreshing and delicious.

Moreover, the juice flowing down the throat into the esophagus really made Wang Yu feel a vigorous vitality, this thing is a small one, but it contains a lot of energy.

"Come on, it tastes good."

Wang Yu ate a third of it, and divided the rest into two halves and handed it to Avia and Noelle, asking them to try it too.

"Oh woo!"

"It's so sour!"

Both Noelle and Avia shoved the fruit into their mouths without warning, and then Noelle's facial features wrinkled together and let out a cute strange cry, and Avia's words with her tongue stuck out explained why Noelle behaved the way she did.

"Haha, the fruit of the young tree spirit does not have a lot of vitality, but it is also the easiest to absorb, and their fruit is also very sour compared to the sweetness of the adult tree spirit."

Ziggy looked at Noelle and Avia, who were frowning, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, while not forgetting to introduce the off-the-beaten-path but useful knowledge like a teacher.

"Is it sour? I think it's just right......"

Wang Yu scratched his head, he felt that this fruit was unusually appetizing to him, but he didn't expect Avia and Noelle to react so much.

"Hey, let's give it to you......"

Avia walked up to Wang Yu, opened Wang Yu's mouth with her fingers, stuffed the remaining pulp into Wang Yu's mouth, and said with a little helplessness and amusement.

Wang Yu smashed it, smashed it, well, I really didn't feel too sour, just right.

Noelle did the same, shoving the rest of the pulp into her brother's mouth.

Then I saw Ziggy's face twitch visibly, but he was forced to tense up, not wrinkling together like Noelle and Avia and losing his usual image.

"It's so sour......"

He smiled bitterly in his heart, he had never eaten this thing, he knew it was very sour, but he didn't expect it to be so sour, and when he ate this thing, the sour taste jumped from his mouth to his brain like an electric current, highlighting a stimulus.

As for what's going on with this guy Wang Yu, well, this guy likes to eat things with a sour taste......

"Professor, that bird has been with us for a long time, so it shouldn't be a normal monster."

Wang Yu's voice reached Zigger's ears, causing him to turn his attention back to the bird that had been following them since they entered the forest.

The peregrine falcon had been following Wang Yu and them through the cover of trees since they entered the forest, but that level of concealment was almost meaningless in the face of the reconnaissance ability of several people.

Wang Yu and Zig didn't feel malicious intent with the intuition brought by the knight's body, so they didn't care about it all the time, but they were about to enter the range of the elven capital soon, and they should encounter the elven rangers patrolling at that time, so it was better to deal with this absolutely abnormal peregrine falcon first.

"Is there something wrong with this Excellency following us all the time, instead of following us without saying anything, why don't you come down and talk to me for a few words, we have no malicious intentions."

Ziggy spoke loudly and gently to the spot where the peregrine falcon was hiding among the branches of the leaves above, indicating his purpose in a common language.

"Boom la la ......"

The branches of the leaves and branches rattled for a while, and it seemed that the peregrine falcon was frightened by Ziggy's sudden words, and struggled with whether to come down for a long time.

After a while, the branches and leaves above no longer vibrate, and a small boy jumped down from above, judging by the pointed, slender ears and the delicate features peculiar to elves, there was no doubt that he was indeed an elf.

The elf boy looks like he is six or seven years old, and he is probably fifty or sixty years old when converted to humans, but the elves basically start to learn magic and combat skills at the stage of "forty years old".

"Are you outsiders, you don't look like a bad person, you can be so close to the dryads, but the forests and cities have not been stable recently, and the adults are basically not welcoming outsiders, so you better hurry up."

The elf boy looked at Wang Yu and his party and said seriously.

He followed all the way, observed what Wang Yu and they did, and came to the conclusion that Wang Yu and they were not bad people, so when Ziggy said his existence, although he was startled, he did not run away because he was discovered.

"Unstable? What can happen if the elves are there? ”

Ziggy asked the little boy who looked hesitant in front of him, a little confused.

Although the elves are less than one-tenth of the number of humans and orcs, their long lifespan and unique talents make their strength and technology outstanding among the five races.

Second only to the Feather Clan in individual ability, they also possess brilliant technological wonders and great military strength.

It stands to reason that Leahim, as one of the three elven capitals, has the blessing of the tree of life and the protection of the elves, and is absolutely impregnable, unlike the royal city of Arestler, there is basically no problem.

"Well, the adults say you can't talk nonsense...... In short, as foreigners of a foreign race, it is better not to enter the Forest of Origin any more, it will not do you any good. ”

The elf boy was a little overwhelmed by Ziggy's question, and opened his mouth to say something but immediately closed it, as if realizing that there was something he could not say.

"Thanks for reminding me, we're here to meet an old friend, so we'll have to head to the Forest of Origins, but if you don't mind, you can follow us and make sure we don't do anything bad."

Ziggy smiled softly, politely rejecting the other party's offer to let them leave the Gentomori.

"This ......"

The elf boy didn't know what to say, but after thinking about it, he turned into a peregrine falcon in the fluctuation of magic again, and flew above Wang Yu's head, and it seemed that he accepted Ziggy's proposal.

"Let's go."

Zieg nodded, and led Wang Yu and them to continue their journey to the interior of the Forest of Origin, heading to the elven capital surrounded by forests, Leahim.

"Huh?"

As soon as he took two steps forward, Wang Yu hesitated lightly in his heart, stretched out his right hand, and pulled the shoulder of Zig, who was walking in the front, and Zig reacted quickly, and immediately stopped moving forward after being pulled by Wang Yu.

"Dodo!"

Several arrows with wooden handles with emerald green light were nailed to the ground about two meters in front of Ziggy, if Wang Yu hadn't pulled Qig just now, these arrows should have been nailed just in front of Zig's feet, no intention of hurting, yes, warning.

"Robin, come here, you're running out on your own again, and your mother is so angry that she knows you're still putting yourself in danger."

A calm, melodious male voice came from the forest ahead, and a male elven ranger in a green-striped hooded cloak appeared on the branches of the trees in front of him, with several arrows on top of the rejuvenating oak longbow in his hand.

The peregrine falcon flew out from behind Wang Yu and landed on the Elven Ranger's shoulder, looking wizened, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although you should not be some kind of people who come with malicious intentions, but Leahim does not welcome outsiders recently, please go back, if you want to break in, I will not show mercy."

The Elven Ranger had a serious and low voice, expressing his diswelcome to the Outsiders.

Ziggy glanced at the oak bow that exuded the breath of life on the ground, and nodded secretly, the power that the elves can exert in the forest is still amazing.

In the environment full of vitality in the Forest of Origin, these arrows full of vitality were as if they were invisible, and he didn't even notice it too much, or Wang Yu's reconnaissance ability that ignored all interference sensed it in advance.

"We're here to find an old friend this time, and we shouldn't be completely outsiders, this is a token, and I ask Mr. Ranger to take a look."

Ziegy looked up, took out an object, and showed it to the elven ranger standing in the tree, and the object made the other person's face hidden under the hood, his eyes slightly open, and he was truly shocked.

"Golden Maple Leaf, I didn't expect Your Excellency to be like this, if this is genuine, then you and your partner will be the distinguished guests of our elf clan, how rude, please bring the Golden Maple Leaf close to me, let me judge the authenticity."

In Ziggy's hand was a golden maple leaf, which was nothing special from a simple observation, no magic fluctuations or anything like that, but Wang Yu could feel some strange aura permeating it, but he didn't recognize what it was.

After seeing such a thing, the elven ranger immediately became much more polite, and his tone also carried a hint of respect, but he did not let down his vigilance, indicating that he needed to confirm the authenticity.

Ziggy took a few steps forward, narrowing the distance between the two to within ten meters, and after a few seconds of pause, the ranger nodded and saluted Ziggy.

"No problem, it is indeed a golden maple leaf, please come with me, I will take you to meet your old man, Leahim has been a little unstable recently, please ......"

The Elven Ranger turned around and motioned for Ziggy to follow him as he spoke, but before he could finish speaking, a loud bang came not far away.

"Boom! Bang! ”

Wang Yu looked back in the direction where the loud noise came from, and he found that many trees were rising from the ground and running, those were tree spirits, they were there, running away?

A large number of trees were pulled out of the ground by a huge figure, tossed into the sky, and then fell down, knocking down large swaths of lush trees.

"The Ancient Tree of War?"

Looking at the figure that suddenly began to wreak havoc, Wang Yu found the name corresponding to the giant tree man from his memory.
