Ace sorted out his thoughts for a moment, and then said, "Since ancient times, the elemental envoys and humans have always been non-interfering with each other and not touching each other. However, this situation can be changed. ”

At this time, Ace couldn't help but look up at the expression of the Elemental King. Realizing that he didn't mean to interrupt, he continued: "There is only one savannah between the New Delhi Empire and the ancient forest. Good trade can be established between tribes. Why did the element make it refuse to do this? ”

The Elemental King did not answer this question directly, but asked, "Tell me, what is missing from our Elemental Kingdom?" In the New Delhi Empire, what do you have that we elements make the kingdom need? Gold? Weapons? Food? We are not short of these things. ”

Ace was also unprepared for this question. Before coming to the Elemental Envoy Kingdom, Ace thought that the Elemental Envoys must not have good forging skills, so he hoped to sell the armor of Namyun City to the Elemental Envoys.

However, when Ace saw the extremely fine armor that the elementals had on the guards, he could only overturn the original plan.

At this time, in front of the Elemental King, Ace was almost speechless.

The Elemental Envoy seems to have it all! They don't need food, resources, weapons. What can the New Delhi Empire offer them when it comes to trade? It seems that only money remains.

However, it is clear that the elemental envoys have no interest in money. In their opinion, only greedy people care about money.

Seeing that Ace was completely stunned, the Elemental King was about to speak, but when he saw Jennifer standing behind Ace, he suddenly stepped forward and said bravely, "Dad, Ace has no ill intentions. ”

The elemental on the throne made the king frown slightly, and said coldly: "Jennifer, you are still young, you should not be involved in these things. You should leave first. ”

There was a stubborn look in Jennifer's eyes, and she was about to continue to retort. Ace pulled his sleeve and shook his head. Jennifer could only barely swallow the words that she wanted to spit out.

Ace naturally didn't want to see a conflict between the Elemental King and his daughter, as he was just an outsider.

"Your Majesty, King of the Elementals, maybe I'm being too rude this time. I hope you don't blame Jennifer for speaking for me. I'll leave the old forest now. With that, Ace prepared to leave the palace.

Jennifer was a little anxious and was about to ask him to stay, but he heard the elemental king say calmly, "It's late today, so you can stay here for the night, and tomorrow morning you can leave by yourself." ”

Ace looked at the bright red in the western sky and was about to refuse. But he heard Jennifer whisper, "Hurry up, promise me." The ancient forest at night is not as peaceful as during the day. ”

Ace couldn't help frowning, and then saluted the Elemental King on the throne: "Thank you for your understanding!" ”

Jennifer was naturally very happy when she saw that Ace agreed to spend the night. Somehow, Jennifer always felt that Ace had a very strange temperament, which made her feel very friendly.

Led by Jennifer, Ace arrives at a spacious wooden house. The chalet is small but complete.

"Ace, the elders of our elemental envoys say that humans are dangerous, but I don't feel any danger from you! It seems that what the elders said was not necessarily right. Jennifer said as she looked at the dark night.

Ace smiled and said to Jennifer, "Thank you for speaking for me today. ”

Jennifer looked unconcerned: "It's okay! I think it's worth it to get to know you as a friend. ”

"How dare you make friends with people?" Ace didn't expect that in his innate impression, the ancient elemental had always been hostile and contemptuous of humans.

Then Jennifer was heard say, "I always felt that there was nothing to conclude until I saw it with my own eyes." Even if our elders hate humans, I won't blindly choose to believe it until I see you. ”

Ace was a little surprised. He thinks Jennifer is still young, but she knows a lot. So small, already have their own independent ideas.

Ace couldn't help but ask, "Jennifer, how old are you this year?" ”

Jennifer straightened her chest and said, "I'm twenty years old!" ”

Ace was surprised. If that were to be said, Jennifer would be three years older than him. But as an element of make, Jennifer seems younger in appearance and mind.

"In terms of human age, I should be equivalent to a 12-year-old human age. I'm not a kid anymore. Jennifer tried to defend herself.

Ace smiled and said, "I've heard that your elementals make you live longer. It seems to grow slower than humans. ”

Jennifer was a little unconvinced, but she didn't know how to refute it. For a moment, a little blush appeared on her almost transparent face, and then she quickly fell into decay and sighed: "You all treat me like a child. ”

Seeing that Jennifer looked a little depressed, Ace changed the subject and asked, "Do you want to continue listening to my story?" What about the history of the New Delhi Empire? ”

However, Jennifer said solemnly: "You told me a lot of stories about your New Delhi empire during the day. Are they all real? For example, the Battle of the Dragonslayer, the Three Knights of the Legion, and the Demon Invasion. Is this really happening? ”

"Some are true, some are fictional. But the demon invasion really happened. At the mention of this, Ace's face suddenly became serious.

Jennifer asked expectantly, "Can you describe to me what a demon looks like?" ”

Ace said, "Demons don't just have one appearance. Some of them can be as tall as mountains, and some are as big as ordinary people. ”

Jennifer listened curiously. He was drawn to Ace's story about his recent years in the Imperial Legion. Whenever Ace says the key point, her slightly gentle face also becomes nervous.

After Ace finished telling the story, Jennifer's admiration for Ace became even more difficult to express, and her eyes were filled with awe and admiration.

"Alas, I really want to get out of this ancient forest and see the wonderful world out there." When Jennifer thought that she would live in this forest for the rest of her life, she was filled with resistance and loss.

"The outside world is much more complicated than you think," Ace said. While your element makes the Elder's description of humanity too extreme, it still has some reference value. For example, greed is the most common human flaw, but it is also the nature of many people and is difficult to change. ”

"Like you elemental envoys, you are naturally able to resonate with nature, judge bad luck by looking at the stars, communicate with animals, and even make flowers and plants grow quickly. These are the inherent abilities of your elemental envoys. They are nature's gift to you, and it's hard to change. ”

"However, humans are not as fortunate as you elemental envoys, nor do they have as many innate advantages. In human beings, greed and selfishness are two very common traits that many people have. , some will behave more clearly and even stop at nothing for their own benefit. But most people don't have too serious habits of selfishness and greed, just traces of an imperial influence, and about the infection in human nature. ”

As for rebellion and bloodlust, these two points vary from person to person. The vast majority of people are relatively kind and will not have these two characteristics. However, it is true that there are a few people who show a rebellious and cruel nature. Therefore, the Elemental Envoy has always been biased against humans, and I understand that. This is based on the fact that your elders did not summarize objectively, but put all of them together and made a direct conclusion. ”

After Ace finished speaking, he looked at Jennifer with a smile and asked, "Now, do you still want to go out?" ”

But Jennifer still nodded firmly: "Well, if my father allows it, I will still choose to go out and have a look." ”

Ace sighed helplessly: "You really don't know how to cherish it." The days here are carefree. Why go out? What are you going to do in the outside world? ”

But Jennifer looked at the stars in the sky and said, "I have always felt that living in this forest for the rest of my life is the most regrettable thing in my life." ”

Ace smiled gently, but didn't speak.

Soon, an elemental makes the guards find the place and take Jennifer back to her bedroom to rest.

Before leaving, Jennifer specifically told Ace: "Don't go into the jungle at midnight, because it's a very dangerous thing." Remember! ”

After Ace's repeated assurances, Jennifer left Ace's cabin with a bit of frustration. She has been in the forest for many years, but she still wants to go out for a walk. A young man came. Of course, Jennifer wanted to learn more about the outside world.

However, as the little princess of the elemental envoys, there are too many rules and etiquette that she needs to follow to fulfill her wishes.

After seeing Jennifer off, Ace didn't fall asleep either. Instead, he walked out of the hut and stood a few hundred meters high and looked around.

However, this towering tree is even more beautiful and spectacular at night.

Looking at the trees hundreds of meters high, there are countless bright lights.

Ace knew that those were fluorites that hung from the branches of the ancient elemental trees.

Every night, those fluorites that glow strangely shimmer attract many fireflies, making the light more visible.

Ace was half-leaning against the wooden fence and felt the night wind blowing in front of him, but a little frustrated.

This time, he came to the Ancient Forest and opened the trade path between Nanyun City and the Ancient Elemental Envoy, but he didn't think it was a complete failure. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Ace, who had already sworn before he set off.

At this time, he looked at the palace with a calm atmosphere, and his heart was very complicated.

This time, luckily he broke into the ancient forest and was not chased by the Elemental Angel. However, Ace was a bit reluctant to complete the task.

This "tree of life" is dotted with stars. Standing on it, you can feel the strong breath of life. Ace only felt like a dream.

However, the dense forest in the distance is completely in darkness and looks mysterious and a little strange.

At the farthest edge of the forest, there are also countless fluorescent lights that completely surround the entire Tree of Life. Inside the fluorescent lamppost, the lights are bright, while outside the lamppost, there is endless darkness.

Ace tried to see the scene in the forest with his powerful senses, but somehow, a thick layer of fog rose from the forest, completely covering the scene, and Ace couldn't see clearly.

After a few attempts, he had no choice but to give up.

Ace always had a very strange feeling. During the day, the forest is full of beautiful scenery, but at this time of the night, Ace notices a hint of unease. This feeling made Ace very uncomfortable, as if there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the dark, which made people feel a little creepy.

Thinking of Jennifer's special instructions before leaving, Ace felt that the ancient forest in the dark was indeed strange.

As time passed, the night became deeper and deeper. All the wooden houses that were still burning in the palace were basically extinguished. The Elemental Emissaries went to their own dreams. Only Ace, a sleepless man, stood in front of the wooden fence all the time, looking at the peaceful and beautiful night scene here.

At this time, everything is quiet, only a few insects can be heard, but the sound is low. They seem to be afraid to wake up beautiful fairies in their sleep.

Ace saw that the Elemental Envoys were asleep and was about to return to the hut. At that moment, there was the sound of water, as if someone was playing in the water.

He was very surprised. Why are the Elementals still playing in the water so late?

Curiosity prompted him to slowly walk along the branches of the Tree of Life in the direction of the sound of water.

Following the intricate branches of the Tree of Life, Ace turned left and right. After a long time, he finally saw a small pool made of boulders in a corner.

The foliage around the pool is thick and almost completely covers the pool.

Under the light of fluorite, the water in the pool sparkles with a silvery-white misty sheen.

He saw a fairy in gauze crouching on the edge of the pool, gently scooping up a handful of water with her hands, and letting the water slide between her fingers.

The girl's figure is elegant, and her elegant figure under the veil is even more charming. The hips are upturned, the waist is thin, the back is smooth like jade, and the tips are undulating like mountains.

A head of purple hair draped over his shoulders, and his skin became fair and smooth under the evening wind.

Somehow, Ace always felt that the beautiful elements playing in the water seemed to have a faint aura on his body, and the whole person seemed to be extremely sacrosanct.

At this point, the little element causes the girl to turn her back to Ace, making him completely invisible to her face. But only from the perspective of the back, Ace can conclude that the small elemental envoy must be beautiful.

The fairy raised her hands and stretched them out to the sky. Jasper's hands were thin and beautiful, and her fingers were as long as jade.

The next scene made Ace even more incredulous. She saw the branches of the Tree of Life begin to shrink in the direction of her hand. The green leaves on the branches that completely covered the night sky soon gave way to the sky.

The moonlight shone down from this "channel" and fell on the fairy's hand, indicating that her hand was white and without blemish. I don't know why, the moonlight suddenly turned into a stream of water, flowing around the girl's body.

At this time, the element with his back to Ace made the girl slowly turn around, and Ace finally saw her face.

Thin two pale white lips that can be blown through; The high and low nose bridges draw a perfect arc in the moonlight; The two eyebrows are like two long feathers, light and flexible; A pair of long, pointed elements made the ears run through her purple hair.

The most unique thing is a pair of beautiful and divine eyes, which are different from all the elemental envoys Ace has seen before, and even glow silvery-white like moonlight.

Prior to this, Ace had seen elements that were almost all emerald green pupils, some of which were distinctive light greens. But it was the first time he had seen her almost transparent silver eyes.

The fairy seemed to be completely immersed in the joy of playing in the water, and did not see Ace behind the lush branches and leaves.

The moonlight that fell from the sky constantly turned into water and sprinkled on her body. Soon, the light like the tulle dress was soaked in, clinging to her white skin and accentuating her figure.

The moonlit water flowed down her body into the small pool, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

At this time, Ace saw a scene that shocked him. He saw a silver crescent moon on the fairy's forehead, glowing softly.

Ace was completely shocked as the moon also appeared in the middle of his own eyebrows. But he is a full moon and sun, which is even stranger.

At this moment, a firefly landed on Ace's shoulder. After staying for a while, it flies through the thick foliage into the pond.

The fairy lowered her head to play in the water, she looked up and looked in Ace's direction.

For some reason, Ace didn't feel any panic. He just stood there, staring at the little elemental girl.

To Ace's surprise, the beautiful fairy didn't cry, just looked at Ace quietly.

Ace didn't know that the little element surprised the girl too. If someone had peeked at her bathing in the past, the person who dared to peek at her bathing would have been killed on the spot.

However, when she saw Ace's eyes, she had no such idea at all. Her heart was very calm and she felt strange.

What's more, she was shocked to see the sun and moon marks in the middle of Ace's eyebrows. She really didn't understand why a person had traces of the sun god and the moon god on his eyebrows?

As they fell silent one by one, there was a slight sound of footsteps not far away.

Ace reacted and quickly used the magic of "concealment", and his body quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Ace stood in the shadows, trying to hold his breath and not make any sound.

Soon after, a female elemental envoy climbed here, walked out of the dense forest, stood down, and whispered inside, "Your Royal Highness, little princess, it's not too early. Let's go back. If the elite guards on patrol at night find out, it's bad! ”

Soon the leaves rustled and a beautiful fairy came out. No water stains on the clothes are visible.

"Your Royal Highness, what's wrong with you? Why blush? The little element made the servant ask.

"Cabelle, you, what are you talking about?" The fairy was obviously a little angry, but she was so excited that the blush on her face became more pronounced and beautiful.

A fairy named Carbel wanted to say more, but she was held by Her Royal Highness the Little Princess and soon left.

When she was about to disappear at last, she couldn't help but take a slight look in Ace's direction.

"Is she another little princess of the Elemental Kingdom?" Ace waited until then to slowly wake up from the chaos.

Ace just felt that what had just happened was like a dream, not real.

It was hard to imagine that he had actually witnessed the Elemental Order's little princess of the kingdom bathing in the moonlight.

At this time, Ace couldn't help but smile bitterly. If Her Royal Highness the Little Princess reported the matter to the Elemental King, he might not be able to leave this ancient forest.

Ace didn't know that the Elemental King and the High Priest were discussing Ace's life and death.

In a spacious temple in Terraria.

"Your Majesty, it is true that humans are always insidious and cunning, but Ace really wants to rescue His Highness during the day." Sima stood respectfully at the bottom of the hall and bowed slightly.

The powerful element made the king ponder for a moment and said, "I didn't want to kill him at first, but then I felt more and more uneasy. Since that incident 20 years ago, our relationship with humanity has gone from bad to worse and has not been in touch now. ”

"For the past 20 years, no one has dared to set foot in this ancient forest. Our lives are very peaceful and there have been no disasters. However, the little guy named Ace suddenly broke in. This worries me! ”

The elemental made the king sigh a long sigh. Obviously, he was very worried about the safety of the elemental envoys.

Sima thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you do a divination?" ”

The Elemental King was clearly waiting for this sentence: "All right! If the astrological results are good, we will let him go, but if the astrological results are..."

At this time, Sima also nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, if the result is not good, I will personally deal with him." Anyway, I took him to the palace. ”

With that, Sima slowly walked towards the back of the hall.

Circling the spiral hallway, Sima and the Elemental King came to a high platform at the back of the hall.

In the center of the high platform, there is a stone column. At the top of the pillar, a silvery-white crystal resembling the moon hangs.

Sima walked to the center of the platform and pressed her hand on the bright white crystal, which emitted a bright light. The high platform slowly detaches from the walls of the hall and slowly moves upwards, faster and faster.

Soon, the platform rose to the top of the Tree of Life. Through lush branches and foliage, the platform hangs under the stars.

Looking up, the moon is bright and stars are scarce. This does not seem to be the best weather for astrology.

But he saw Sima face the night sky, open her arms, close her eyes, and begin to whisper a spell.

This is a very old element that makes the language, which few people can understand nowadays.

Only the Elemental Legalist and some of the higher Elemental Elders were qualified to learn this ancient Elemental Envoy language.

After a series of difficult spells, Sima suddenly opened her eyes and shouted to the sky, "Starlight, please give us guidance!" ”

Sima's eyes glowed a long green light in that instant.

The originally thick clouds in the sky quickly dispersed, and countless stars lit up at the same time.

Sima stared at the stars, her eyes fixed on the sky, and she said something in her mouth. I don't know what I'm talking about.

Next to him, the Elemental King also looked up at the sky with a nervous expression on his face. When he became Queen of the Elementals, he had never felt so worried in more than 100 years.

Suddenly, several originally faint stars in the sky suddenly became unusually bright.

At first, there were not many twinkling stars, only three or four, but later, hundreds of stars twinkled at the same time.

Sweat was dripping down Seema's cheeks, and his clothes were soaking wet.

After a long time, Sima's loud spell ended. He shouted to the sky, "Light of the stars, thank you for your guidance!" ”
