24 elves
"Why are you helping them?" Alan Hi asked.
"I just don't want anyone to be harmed by this kind of bad thing, as long as I can unite all the elves, it should be difficult for humans to catch them, and then I can just dispose of the bad things that made this kind of thing." Ankha said as he pulled out a pill.
"Thinking of a kind and simple stupid human like you, if I didn't follow you, then you must have been attacked and backstabbed countless times." Alanshi raised her head and said in a brisk tone.
"Okay, well, then we must never be separated." As he spoke, Ankh put his hand on Elanci's head and stroked it, while Alanxi approached Ankh and stamped his feet and made a comfortable whirl.
After walking for a while, Ankka felt a tingling pain, touched his face with his hand and found that it was a slender wooden thorn, Ankka looked up and found that there was a small tree house made in front of him.
When Ankka raised his foot to look, the elf inside suddenly appeared and approached Ankka curiously, and Ankka caught the other's outstretched hand between his eyelids when he squinted.
Ankka held him in his hand and discovered that the other party was an elf with bright red wings like a bird.
The elf trembled and lay in the middle of Anka's palm, and Ankka said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you." ”
As soon as the words fell, the elf turned around and threw out a small pebble and flew quickly into the leaves, but the pebble was too small to cause any damage, and then Ankh poured out all the elves in the box and picked it up and said, "You see I have no ill intentions, I saved them." ”
After a long period of persuasion, the other party gradually put down his weapon and walked out of the leaves, and after seeing that Anka did not hurt the elves in his hands, he also stood in the middle of the leaves and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
"I have been entrusted by the transparent-winged elves to help you unite and avoid the fate of being captured."
"You're also human, how can you help us?" The elf questioned.
"There are a lot of different human beings, and humans kill each other."
"Put my fellow citizens down, and I'll go back and tell the elders."
After placing the many elves on the ground, Ankka also turned around and walked to find the other elf races.
Not long after they had gone Ankka, they heard a shrill cry of elves, and Ankka and Elanshi rushed to find the elves and his compatriots on the raft fending off the attacking fish.
Ankka calmly lifted the raft to save the elves, and the fish scattered after being disturbed by Ankka.
"Why take a raft from there? And don't you know how to fly? Ankh asked.
"It's faster, and most of their wings are broken, so the elves won't leave their companions behind." The elf said, shaking its wet body.
"Do you look like something good to send us back to the Kind?" The elf asked.
"Absolutely."
Ankka then placed the elves on Elanhi's back and followed their instructions.
"Hey, here you go!" The red-winged elf held up his own wooden thorn with a fish's eye and handed it to Anka.
"What?"
"We'll share the food."
"No, I don't seem to need to." Saying that, Ankka handed the fisheye back, he also showed some loss after seeing Anka's refusal, and then gave the fisheye to the other compatriots.
"It's there through the Death Grove."
"What does that mean?" Ankha asked.
And Ellanch looked around and said, "Is that there?" ”
Ankka looked in the direction Allanci was pointing, and saw a large patch of thorns tangled together to form a one-man tall wall of thorns.
"That's right, that's it! Be careful. The elf shouted as he lay in the palm of Anka's hand.
Ankka calmly used his spear to clear the way, because he was afraid that damage could also protect their thorns, so Ankka was very careful to use his spear left and right in front of him.
Upon reaching the end of the thorns, Ankka saw a large cluster of faintly glowing mushrooms, which grew in large and brightly colored mushrooms.
"This is our luminous plaza." The elf introduced.
Ankka faintly heard a sound coming from the ground, and crouched down to see that it was some other elf hiding behind the mushrooms, looking at him in fear.
"It's okay everyone, this human doesn't seem to be going to eat us." The elf jumped briskly on top of one of the mushrooms and shouted.
Ankh then found their patriarch, an elf hiding in the largest red mushroom.
"The transparent-winged elves want to be united with you."
The patriarch looked at the red-winged elves who had returned with Ankar and the large number of injured elves who were in charge of patrolling and after a moment of silence, he said, "Even if you did help us, we are not sure if the other party will attack us after driving away the humans. ”
"Has anything like this ever happened before?" Ankh asked.
"Well, 50 years ago, humans also came to raid our compatriots, and it was our first unity, but after trying to drive away the enemy, they immediately attacked us, and in the end I couldn't make these thorny walls to protect my compatriots."
Ankka was silent for a moment and then asked, "But if you don't stick together, won't the loss be great?" ”
"So, why the hell do you want to help us, human?" The patriarch asked.
"I just don't want anyone to use you to hurt people."
"Is that so? It's strange that you're just as strange as the human who helped us before, so be it! You go tell the Clear-Winged Elves that we can unite with them again as long as they give us the artifact for safekeeping. ”
"In that case, will they disagree!" Ankka responded.
"It's okay, we'll give them our artifact for safekeeping."
After agreeing, Ankka picked up a ring handed to him.
"It's an object of the god of nature that can give birth to plants."
"Okay, I'll be back soon."
Ankka and Ellanshi then returned to the giant tree where the transparent winged elves lived, shouting, "I'm back!" ”
"So, they agreed?"
"Yes, they need you to give the artifact in exchange for security."
When the other party heard this, he was silent for a while and said, "We need to think about it." ”
As she waited, Ankka picked up a sharpened stick and went fishing, and with each catch of a fish, Ellanci and the elves on the shore erupted in a burst of shouts.
(Meeting Room)
"What do you think?" The elven elder sat in the middle of the hall and asked the other elf representatives.
"I don't see any magic in the artifact they are holding, it should be fake."
"So do you want to refuse?" The elder asked.
"Nope! The alliance is our proposal, and since the other side has shown sincerity, we might as well send a fake artifact to form a temporary alliance again, even if we split again after the war, there is nothing to lose. ”
After the elder nodded in agreement, they handed Ankka a broken piece of white tulle.
And Ankka also rushed back after handing over the other party's artifact to the other party and handed over the tulle to the other party.
The red-winged elf elder was silent for a while after receiving the artifact, and then quickly regained his kind smile, looked at Ankka and said, "Thank you, stranger, for helping us unite once again. ”
Later, as night fell, the elves stopped Ankka who was about to leave, and made a huge tent for Ankka by the river, made of thick leaves behind planks.
"Elancy, what are you going to do after you get your revenge?" Ankh asked suddenly, bored.
"Of course I'll be by your side, and when you die, I'll instinctively make a cave for habitation near your grave."
"By the way, how long can you dragons live?"
"I don't know, but I should outlive humans!"
Ankh smiled and said, "No one told you, how do you know?" ”
"I don't know, but I seem to have learned a lot of magic when I was born out of my shell and heard the voices of my mother and even other compatriots, they told me."
As Ankka was about to ask again, his eyelids sank, and he lay on Elanhi's cold back and fell asleep.
In the early hours of the next morning, Ankka was woken up by the sound of horses' hooves, and Ankka held his icy head and looked around, realizing that it was the poachers who had arrived.
They brought more cages and weapons this time, and it seemed that they were ready to wipe out the elves.
"Want to help?" Alan Hi asked.
"Let's see if they can handle it."
Ankka and Alan Hi then hid in the trees and watched the battle take place on both sides.
The poachers chased and killed many of the hiding elves with torches, many of them fell into the spiked traps, and some of the escaped poachers did not get up because they stepped on the traps in the river and fell into the river because of the illusions created by the elves.
The battle lasted until noon, ending with the victory of the elves side, after which Ankka planned to say goodbye to them and go to the nearby city of Jujin City.
Before leaving, the elves thanked Ankka for helping them form an alliance again, and gave Ankka a small yellow fruit.
One elf said, "This is the Life Fruit from the World Tree, and although it fell as soon as it bore fruit, it should be delicious. ”
"The fruit of the World Tree?"
"Yes! That can prolong your life! ”
"You don't need it?"
"Don't look at how small our elves are, we can live for hundreds of years."
Ankh then stuffed the fruit straight into his mouth and swallowed it.
"Is it delicious?" Alan Hi asked.
"Some teeth." Ankka said with her mouth covered.
After that, the two went to Jujin City under the farewell of the elves.
