At this moment, the elemental girl hid behind him, looked in horror in the direction of the jungle, and then whispered, "High priest, I, I seem to have seen him." He's in the big tree! It looks like it's human! ”

The little girl pointed in Ace's direction.

Ace was very surprised. At this point, he had already cast a "hidden" spell and could not see normally.

However, the small element causes the girl to suddenly discover Ace's location. From the girl's eyes, Ace saw great fear and looked at himself like a monster.

"Humans?" The tall little element, known as the "High Priest", suddenly became sharp-eyed.

He shouted to the forest, "Human! To protect the little princess, I can let you go. Please leave the ancient forest and return to your world. You're not welcome here! ”

Ace kept looking at the little elemental girl and found that the little elemental made the girl look at him, as if all the disguises were useless in front of him.

What a terrible ability this is! His "concealment" in front of the elemental girl seems to be completely ineffective.

The little girl said to the high priest, "My lord, he is still there, and he has not yet left." ”

The High Priest's expression became more and more ugly, and he continued to shout: "If you don't leave again, don't blame our elemental envoys for being ruthless! ”

After that, the elemental makes the high priest ready to blow the horn in his hand.

Ace knew that once the horn sounded, all the elemental envoys would probably be shocked. Soon, he will be completely surrounded by the Ancient Elemental Envoys. At that time, let alone negotiating trade, whether he would survive was a big question.

After all, after listening to the conversation between the two elemental envoys, Ace could know that the identities of the two elemental envoys were not simple. One was called the "High Priest" and the other was called the "Little Princess".

Thinking of this, Ace immediately took off his disguise, jumped from the tree, and slowly walked out of the forest. As he walked away, he also shouted, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you. I had just seen the noble little princess, who was about to be attacked by a ferocious animal, so I made a bold move. I'm so sorry! ”

The "high priest" saw that he was really a human being, and his eyes were even more alert. He pulled a small elemental named Jennifer behind him and said coldly, "Human, this is not where you should be. You'd better leave now! ”

Seeing Ace continue to walk forward without any intention of leaving, the elemental high priest immediately took out his horn.

Ace quickly stopped and said, "Noble High Priest, please wait a moment. I'm not here to hurt you! ”

The elements make the eyes of the high priest suspicious. It was clear that he didn't want to make a big fight. Once he blows the horn, the entire Ancient Elemental Elemental Envoy Elemental Envoy Guard will arrive as soon as possible. At that time, Ace didn't have any chance of an explanation, and would be killed by the Elemental Envoy on the spot.

Seeing that the elemental made the High Priest lower his horn, Ace couldn't help but gasp. Then, with a very warm smile on his face, he said politely: "Dear High Priest, I have come to your leader. I have important things to discuss with him. ”

A small element named Jennifer made the girl can't help but say: "There is no leader here, only the supreme king, and the small element makes the king!" That's my father! ”

Ace smiled apologetically and said, "Well, I'm really sorry. Please forgive my ignorance. I want to find your elemental king. Can you take me to him? ”

There weren't a lot of records of the Elemental Envoys in the academy library, so Ace really didn't know much about the race. He only knows a few simple things. For example, their arrogance towards humans and their ability to perceive nature.

The elemental high priest frowned and said, "You'd better hurry up. Our elemental makes the king not want to see humans. ”

Ace smiled helplessly: "Is it just because I'm human?" Is it really so unbearable for us humans in the eyes of you ancient elemental envoys? ”

Speaking of this, Ace added: "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Monchi D. Ace and I'm from Cloud South, a remote town in the New Delhi Empire. ”

After a moment's hesitation, the High Priest of the Elemental Envoy still said, "My name is Simon, and I am one of the High Priests of the Ancient Elemental Envoys. Human, I advise you ...... at the end"

However, before the High Priest could finish, Ace shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, High Priest. This time I entered the Ancient Forest, and there was really a very important thing to do. I want you to help me inform your Elemental King. ”

Simon's expression was uncertain, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. However, he saw the elemental little princess tugging on her sleeve and trying to lower her voice and say, "High priest, he doesn't seem to be a bad person. ”

Although her voice was low and inaudible to the average person, Ace could still hear his voice clearly.

Simon whispered, "Your Highness Princess, the word bad guy will not be written on the face. Humans, in particular, are more cunning and treacherous. We can't trust him easily. ”

Jennifer wanted to say more, but she heard Simon continue, "Don't worry, Jennifer, I'll take care of this." ”

Hearing this, Jennifer had to curl her lips and stop talking.

Simon looked at Ace and said, "Ace, right?" Without the consent of our elemental envoys, any other race that enters the ancient forest will be killed by us! ”

Ace nodded. "I've heard of it."

Simon looked ugly and asked, "Now that you know, why are you breaking into this ancient forest?" ”

Ace smiled: "Because I know that you ancient elemental envoys will not kill innocents indiscriminately. I didn't do anything to hurt you. You're not unreasonable, are you? ”

Simon snorted coldly: "You trespassed into this ancient forest without permission, and committed a big taboo. We have every reason to kill you on the spot! ”

At this moment, a thunderous voice suddenly came from the sky: "Simon, bring him here!" ”

When Simon heard this voice, he fell to his knees with great respect and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the King of the Elementals!" ”

Even Jennifer, who had been looking at Ace curiously, bowed slightly with a serious expression. It can be seen that Jennifer has a lot of respect for her father.

Ace was of course glad that the Elemental King was willing to meet with him, suggesting that there was still a possibility of establishing a trade relationship with the Elemental Envoy.

In this way, Ace followed Jennifer and Simon slowly towards the forest.

It is said that the elemental envoys can control various creatures in nature. Ace didn't believe it at first, but when he saw what Jennifer was doing along the way, he was completely convinced.

Jennifer had her feet on the ground and always sat on the towering roots. The roots of the tree seemed to be alive, and they had been supporting her forward. When the roots of the tree reach their limit, another large tree will take over.

The trees seem to obey Jennifer's call completely, and the branches will move with her will whenever she has an idea. And Jennifer is a naughty kid who has always loved games like this.

Three men walked forward, but none of them spoke. Simon kept frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jennifer, on the other hand, looked Ace up and down curiously. After all, Ace was the first person she had ever seen in her life.

Jennifer seemed to have been trying to say something, but every time he swept Simon's cold face, he swallowed the words in his mouth.

Ace wanted to break this embarrassment, so he tentatively asked Jennifer, "Your Royal Highness, will all the trees and flowers in the entire forest obey your orders?" ”

Jennifer glanced at Simon next to her. Seeing that he had no intention of stopping it, he said gently: "Yes, we elemental envoys can command nature and merge with nature. However, I don't like the word command because we only use the power of nature, not command nature. ”

Ace smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, please forgive me for my ignorance. ”

For some reason, Jennifer felt that Ace was getting more and more friendly, and said nonchalantly, "You don't have to be so restrained. We elemental envoys are not demons and beasts. As long as you don't harm all the creatures in the Ancient Forest, we won't do anything to you. ”

Ace also liked the ancient elements in front of him to make the little princess, because he had a very strange temperament, a comfortable and natural feeling.

Jennifer is completely free from the arrogance and imperiousness of the children of the nobility of the New Delhi Empire. What she has is an innate kindness and peace.

Ace smiled, pointed at Simon who led the way, and then made a leopard head face.

Jennifer couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, and then whispered to Ace, "Lord High Priest, he is a natural envoy who can turn into all kinds of creatures. He can even turn into a night owl and take to the skies! You just saw him turn into a leopard and thought he wanted to hurt me. ”。 In fact, he didn't. He just wanted to test my alertness. Because he has always taught me that as a member of the royal family of the Elemental Envoys, I must always be vigilant after leaving the palace. ”

Speaking of this, Jennifer mysteriously approached Ace and whispered, "Actually, I'm not a child anymore. Why be so careful? ”

When Ace heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle, and Jennifer laughed too.

"In fact, I'm particularly safe in this forest." Jennifer said proudly.

Ace looked confused and asked, "Is there a powerful elemental envoy who protects you in the dark?" ”

Jennifer shook her head and said, "Where do I need them?" I am a child of nature. I can communicate with all the creatures in the forest. I can understand what they think. Therefore, they will protect me from danger. ”

Ace was surprised. Although he knew that the ancient elements made nature worship, he could actually read the inner thoughts of all living beings and communicate with them? It's incredible.

Seeing Ace's suspicion, Jennifer straightened her chest and said, "Look at me!" ”

After saying that, Jennifer closed her eyes, and when Ace saw a giant python hanging down from a big tree, he doubted himself, and the python's head suddenly fell next to Jennifer.

Ace was startled by what he saw and was about to speak.

However, he saw Jennifer make a silent gesture to him and then point to Simon in front of him. Ace quickly understood and quickly shut up.

The python appeared very obedient in front of Jennifer. A long red serpentine letter rubbed against Jennifer's face, and Jennifer couldn't help but giggle.

At this time, Simon, who had been leading the way, turned around, looked at Jennifer seriously, and said nothing.

However, when Jennifer saw Simon's eyes, she immediately calmed down, touched the python's head with her hand, and waved at it.

The python obediently stepped back and sat down on a towering tree.

It is clear that Simon has a high status in the kingdom of the Elemental Envoys, and even Princess Jennifer is in awe of him.

But I heard Jennifer say gently, "The High Priest is my teacher." ”

When Ace heard this, he suddenly realized this.

The three of them walked slowly through the dense forest. Along the way, Ace often tells Jennifer interesting stories about the New Delhi Empire, which makes the little one even more curious about the world beyond the ancient forest.

When Ace talked about the deeds of the people of New Delhi, Simon couldn't help but snort. However, he did not refute, but only expressed his contempt with such a cold attitude.

On the contrary, Jennifer's impression of Ace is getting better and better after talking all the way.

Before today, he had always heard the elements of the royal palace make the elders talk about the various bad habits of the human race.

Greed, selfishness, bloodthirstiness, cunning, and many more, these words are used by the old elements to describe human beings.

However, when Jennifer saw the first human today, he felt that the elements that thought he was very learned made the elders seem wrong.

At least in Jennifer's opinion, Ace is not a bad person, and these descriptions seem to have nothing to do with Ace at all.

Because Jennifer has a very powerful ability, and that is that she can see through other people's hearts.

She didn't even know about this ability. In this world, only her sister who is connected with her can feel it.

So when Jennifer saw Ace, she quickly went from fear to curiosity.

Because she saw Ace's heart, there was a vast night sky, the stars were shining, very clean and pure, without any pollution.

Therefore, at that moment, Jennifer felt that Ace would never hurt the elemental envoys.

Soon, the three of them came to a clearing in the middle of a dense forest.

Ace was immediately shocked by what he saw, as he had never seen such a strangely beautiful sight in his life.

In the middle of the dense forest, a towering tree completely covers the entire plain.

Countless wooden houses dot the tree, forming an exquisite fairytale kingdom.

The tree is roughly divided into more than 20 floors, each of which is connected by a wooden staircase.

Looking up, at the top of this big tree, a verdant palace looks particularly beautiful. The Crystal Palace building reflects a faint green light, which is desirable.

All the buildings on the big tree are covered with a dense canopy. It seems that even with strong winds and heavy rain, the chalet will not have any problems and is very safe.

Ace's mouth opened wide and he felt incredulous. Seeing his appearance, the little one proudly said, "Welcome to our fairytale kingdom, the ancient wonder of the Mandala continent - Terraria!" What do you think? Is our fairytale country beautiful? Is it more magnificent and elaborate than all of your Sun City? ”

Ace nodded subconsciously and said, "It's hard to compare, but this breath of life is really much stronger than Burning Sun City." ”

Standing here, Ace already felt the breath of life. He knew that the breath was coming from a towering tree.

Jennifer takes Ace to the towering tree and begins to introduce it to Ace.

"This tree is known as the Tree of Life. It is said to have survived for tens of thousands of years. During these tens of thousands of years, the tree of life has never withered and is evergreen all year round. It nurtures and protects us. It teaches us to respect and worship nature. ”

"Let's realize that everything seems so small and fragile in front of nature. Therefore, we always adhere to the principle of loving nature and never do anything to harm nature. ”

"Even the treehouses you see are built from dead trees. We don't destroy nature for our own needs. ”

As they whispered to each other, they soon reached the bottom of the tree of life.

At this time, Ace looked up and saw that the entire sky was covered in thick branches and leaves. It's like being under a big umbrella, giving people an inexplicable sense of security, as if the tree of life will ensure his safety.

In contrast to Jennifer's attitude towards him, the elemental envoys standing on the Tree of Life were visibly wary and hostile when they saw Ace.

Obviously, humans are really not welcome here.

Ace also felt helpless about this. He did not understand what caused the ancient elements to have such a disgusting prejudice against humans.

Those ancient elemental envoys would respectfully salute Simon and Jennifer when they saw them, but when they saw Ace, they were clearly very hostile and contemptuous.

This kind of gaze made Ace feel very uncomfortable. There seemed to be countless ants crawling on him, which was really uncomfortable.

As he walked up the wooden staircase, Ace endured the bad eyes of many ancient elemental messengers. Just when he couldn't take it anymore, he suddenly felt a small slender hand grasp him tightly.

Ace turned his head and saw Jennifer looking at her with a smile on her face. There was no warning in her eyes. Ace couldn't help but be moved.

In such an environment, the little princess of the ancient elements does not care about her human status at all, but uses practical actions to show her attitude.

Those ancient elements made them all look shocked when they saw Jennifer's abnormal behavior, and even began to point fingers.

Simon heard the voice and looked back at the scene where Jennifer was hugging Ace tightly. He couldn't help but frown, but he neither admonished nor stopped.

Soon, Ace was brought to the top of the Tree of Life. There is a huge platform on which the emerald green crystal palace sits.

A straight emerald passage leads directly to the front door of the palace.

On both sides of the strait, every five or six meters, there is an element to make guards.

They were all dressed in silver light armor. As a senior foundry, Ace had to surprise people because the armor was too detailed.

The armor was made of countless steel plates, each of which was tightly joined with copper wires to form a complete armor.

The ductility of the smooth parts and the individual treatment of the seams are taken to the extreme in almost every detail. Silver nails are smooth and delicate. Ace can imagine the feeling of fluidity after seeing them.

The point is that due to the lightness of the armor as a whole, Ace can conclude that this armor does not feel a noticeable burden.

This is especially important for soldiers on the battlefield.

This is not so much an ordinary piece of armor as a work of art.

Ace traveled along the way and found that each element made the guard's armor look like this. He had to sigh that the forging technique of the Elemental Envoy had really developed very well.

It seems that the original plan needs to be changed.

Led by Simon and Jennifer, Ace soon reaches the gates of the magnificent palace.

Unlike the Imperial Palace in New Delhi, there are not many decorative sculptures at the entrance to the hall, only a few simple ones.

When Ace looked at these grotesque carvings, he always felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

As Ace was thinking, a solemn voice came from the hall.

"Simon, please step back."

Simon knelt respectfully, then transformed into a leopard again, jumped a few times, and disappeared from Ace's vision.

Ace was a little confused by this.

"Monchi-D-Ace, huh?" The voice rang out again. Ace quickly bowed respectfully: "Yes, the noble elemental makes the king. ”

"Come in."

Ace followed Jennifer into the mysterious hall.

As soon as Ace entered the hall, he felt a soft breath, which made him feel a little nervous. But suddenly I relaxed a lot, and my steps became brisker.

Ace was curious and wanted to look up, but he heard an angry elemental envoy general shout, "Bold! How dare you look directly at the Elemental King before you get permission! ”

Ace was startled by the loud voice, and subconsciously lowered his head, not daring to raise his head again.

But the man in the middle of the hall said, "It's okay. He is human after all, and he is not familiar with the etiquette and rules of our elemental envoys. Well, Ace, you can look up. ”

Ace slowly raised his head, but saw a tall and powerful elemental envoy sitting on the throne in front of him, looking at him calmly.

That element makes it look young. If you estimate it by human age, he may only be about 30 years old. He was very handsome and powerful. However, Ace knew that elemental beings lived much longer than humans. They usually look younger than humans.

On top of the head of the Elemental King, there is a ring-shaped crown. There is a light green gemstone in the center of the crown.

When he saw the light green eyes of the king of the elementals, Ace felt inexplicably powerless. In front of the supreme ruler of the elemental envoys, Ace felt a little urgent.

"Ace, as a human, you trespassed into our ancient forest. This would have been a capital offense. However, in order not to harm any creatures in the forest, I can forgive you for your first offense. However, I hope you will know in the future that the Ancient Forest is a forbidden place for you. The Elemental King said calmly.

Ace tried to restrain his inner powerlessness, and finally said with difficulty: "Dear Elemental King, I have a reluctant request this time. ”

"Why? The King of the Elementals has forgiven you for your capital crimes. Are you still not satisfied? The element standing next to Ace made the general obviously very angry.

He is very misanthropic of humans. At this time, when he heard that Ace wanted something, he became even more angry.

The Elemental King was silent for a moment before saying, "Tell me first. ”
