Chapter 69: Fishing by the Lake

The 10-day journey passed quickly.

On this afternoon, far away, Leo had already seen the towering World Tree.

"It's finally here. ”

Imagining that he was about to see Isa, he suddenly became a little nervous.

Sensing the change in Leo's mood, Illidia smiled and said, "I really want to see your fiancΓ©e right away, what kind of person is it, it's worth your trouble to find her." ”

"As long as you can see her, it will be worth it. Leo looked at the giant tree in front of him and took a step.

After a while, a city with a strong Moon Elf style came into view.

There are no walls, just large lush trees, closely arranged in regular forms, with almost no gaps. In the center, it is relatively empty, and it should be the entrance to the city, which is equivalent to the gate of the human city.

Leo quickly noticed that the entrance was lined with twenty or thirty guards in bright silver armor, all of them tall, their faces obscured by the shadow of their helmets, and they looked murderous, obviously not like the honor guards.

As far as the eye could see, Leo also saw the smooth roads of the city and the buildings lined with a strong Moon Elf-style style.

Such a scene suddenly made him wonder: "How can there be a city? Aren't you moon elves living in the tree of life?"

Along the way, he had also passed through the elven colonies for several months, but he had never seen a city, let alone the houses and buildings of the moon elves.

Illidia replied with a smile, "We came from the south, where the climate is humid and warm, and the trees grow more abundantly, so people rarely live on the ground. However, in the north, due to the subsequent reasons and foreign influences, there are still some moon elves who like to live on the ground. Located in the middle of the forest, the royal court Taidasis is compatible with both customs. Moreover, there is a large population here, and there are many alien races living here, and there are no less than so many people living on the World Tree, and now only the royal family has the control of the World Tree. ”

"No wonder, I wonder how the address on the tree still has a street and a number, it is. Leo suddenly realized, "The Supreme Forest, the City of Greenhearts, 10 Oak Leaf Street." Do you know where it is?"

Illidia shook her head and said, "The City of Greenhearts is Tedasis, but I haven't heard of Oak Leaf Street. Don't worry about this kind of thing, just ask. ”

"Alright, let's go in now. ”

Not surprisingly, as soon as the two approached the southern entrance to Teltaxia, they were intercepted by stern-looking guards.

However, when Leo pulled out a turquoise leaf he had obtained from Surion, the guards' attitude immediately changed significantly.

Not only did the title change from you to you, but he simply asked Leo's name and meaning to let him go.

Leo knew the benefits of the leaves for a long time. It was the leaf of the Tree of Life that Elder Surion gave him when he left the Moonlight Glade, representing the Moon Elves' respect and friendship.

On the way to Tedasis, he had already enjoyed the benefits of the Leaves of the Tree of Life many times. It's just that I didn't expect that in a place like the royal court, there would be such an effect.

The moment he entered Tedasis, a vague perception pervaded. Even with Leo's mental power, it is difficult to accurately grasp it, if it is an ordinary person. There will be no perception at all.

It is not difficult to guess that this should be some kind of monitoring facility of Tedasis, but even if you know that this must exist for security reasons, it still makes people feel that they are being snooped, which is really not comfortable.

In response, Leo could only smile wryly.

There are not many pedestrians on the streets, among which the moon elves are the mainstay, and there are also some humans, dwarves and gnomes. However, the overall liveliness is completely different from the Gaswell and Yang Halberd that I have experienced before.

Leo looked at it and found no shops or taverns, and it was clear that the daily life of the Moon Elves was not very interesting.

Illidia was familiar with Tedasis and had the idea of acting as a tour guide.

But Leo didn't have any intention of visiting now, and immediately found a moon elf who seemed to be quite kind, and inquired about the address that Issa had told him when he had communicated before.

Unexpectedly, when the moon elf heard the address, he was at a loss, he had never heard of this place at all.

I asked a few more people in a row, and just as Leo's heart was getting heavier and heavier, he finally met someone who knew the place.

............

The winding boardwalk leads to no apparent location, and on both sides of the road, there are planted with straight trees, which sets off the path more secluded.

Along the way, Leo barely encountered a single pedestrian, except for the footsteps of himself and the Valkyrie.

It was hard to imagine that there would be such a place in the Moon Elf King's court, Tedasis, that he even wondered if this was Oak Leaf Street at all, or if he had crossed it again.

As for Illida, Leo wasn't sure if Leo would want to let people know his hiding place, so he separated from him for the time being.

After agreeing on a time and place for their next meeting, the druids had already made their way to the residence of the Will of Nature at the royal court.

Half an hour ago, under the guidance of the moon elf who knew the address, Leo walked towards this so-called Oak Leaf Street, but he didn't expect to come to such a place.

After walking a few hundred meters forward, a mirror-like lake suddenly opened up in front of me.

The lake is not large, only about a kilometer in diameter, and on the shore of the lake, there is a row of low wooden houses.

The moment he saw the wooden house, Leo had already confirmed that it was definitely not the Moon Elves who lived there. Because the shape of those houses is completely inconsistent with the discerning aesthetics of the Moon Elves, and it is completely different from the buildings in other parts of Tedasis.

At this time, Leo noticed that there were several people with wide straw hats fishing by the lake. It's just that he didn't even notice it just now, as if those people didn't exist at all, and they suddenly appeared at this time.

"Strong!" Leo immediately had a clear judgment.

With your own good perception, even if you don't need to see with your eyes, you can also perceive the surrounding situation within a certain range. But just now, he didn't perceive those people at all, which is enough to prove that the strength of those people is far beyond his own and can block the perception.

"It's coming!" one of them suddenly yelled. He was startled, but then the man suddenly raised his fishing rod, and it turned out that a fish had been hooked.

"Whoa!"

As he moved, a string of splashes erupted on the surface of the water, revealing a fish nearly forty centimeters long, struggling but unable to get rid of the hook in its mouth.

"Hahaha, look at this fish, it's definitely the biggest one of the week!" the man said excitedly. At the same time, slowly exert force in your hands to control the movement of the fish in the water towards the shore.

Hearing him say this, someone immediately retorted: "How is it possible! It's obviously not as big as the one I caught the day before yesterday!"

"Indeed, Beckley's one is a little bigger. ”

"I think so too. ”

Several other anglers have expressed their opinions.

The catcher burst into a hearty laugh and said, "I know you're just jealous." ”

As he moved, the straw hat flipped up, and sure enough, as Leo had guessed, it was a middle-aged male human. He looked to be in his early forties and had a thick beard. The eyebrows and eyes are full of boldness.

I don't know if I had already discovered it, or if I had just sensed it, the man's eyes fell on Leo and he greeted, "Ha." Here comes a little friend. ”

Leo respectfully asked, "Hello sir, is this Oak Leaf 10?"

"Yes, are you looking for someone, or are you fishing?" the man said. While skillfully putting the fish into the net pocket, he took out something similar to an earthworm and hung it on the hook. Easily thrown into the water.

Leo hesitated, but replied, "I'm looking for Mr. Leo." ”

"Leo?" the man raised a heavy brow, suddenly remembered something, and showed a hearty smile: "You are his son-in-law, right?"

"......" Leo almost picked up in one breath.

Seeing Leo's predicament, he turned his head and shouted, "Leo, don't sleep!

As he spoke, a man on the recliner not far away slowly removed the straw hat from his face, revealing an old face, and said, "Boy, you're so late. ”

After seeing the man's face clearly, Leo was so startled that he forgot to reply. Because he almost couldn't believe that the old man in front of him turned out to be Leo.

Three years ago, he was obviously a handsome and dashing middle-aged man, how could he age so much all of a sudden!

Not only is his face full of stability, but his hair is completely gray, and he looks even older than his teacher Byron.

"You ......"

Leo saw Leo's doubts, waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It's lucky to survive, come and let me see how you have grown." ”

Leo walked over a few steps and said, "I have successfully promoted to level 4 and completed the agreement. ”

Leo hummed noncommittally, his eyes swept over the Valkyrie, but he didn't say anything more, but casually picked up the fishing rod on the side of the rattan chair and handed it over.

Leo took the rod blankly, not knowing what he meant.

Leo explained, "These guys always say I can't catch fish, so try it, remember, don't use any special abilities." ”

"I'm fishing?" Leo was suddenly surprised, he really didn't expect that the other party would make such a request when they first met.

The middle-aged man who had just caught a fish pouted and said, "Leo, your son-in-law came to find your daughter, what kind of fish did you let people catch?"

Leo ignored the man, and just looked at Leo with a fixed gaze.

Although he didn't know what he meant, Leo didn't want to disobey Leo, so he took the worm from the bait box and hung it on the hook, then threw it into the water, staring at the float on the water.

The lake was calm again, and everyone was quietly waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Ten minutes passed, and Leo's float still didn't move, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he was ready to ask.

Leo raised his hand first: "Shhh, don't talk when fishing, it will scare the fish away." ”

"Uh......" Leo had no choice but to suppress his thoughts and turn all his attention back to the float.

I don't know how long it took, but just as he began to get drowsy, the float suddenly sank down a little.

Leo subconsciously raised his rod, and an old but very stable and powerful hand was held on his wrist.

"Wait, the fish is tempting. Leo's voice was soft, as if he was really afraid of scaring the fish away.

Just like the words of verification, after a second, the float slowly rose again, returning to its original state.

Three seconds passed, and the float sank again and floated upward.

It continued three times, and just when Leo felt a little impatient, the float disappeared from the surface of the water at a very fast speed.

This time, without Leo's reminder, Leo had already raised his fishing rod.

In an instant, the elastic rod bent into a bow, and a constant feeling of struggle came from underwater.

The fish has taken the bait! and it's a big fish!

Leo's heart raced, but he didn't have time to think about it, he held the rod firmly in one hand and lifted the fish towards the surface.

"Slow down, slow down, push too hard and the line will break. Leo's voice came.

Leo nodded, recalling the scene when someone else was on the fish just now, imitating their movements and fighting the big fish underwater.

After a few minutes, the fish, which had been struggling all the time, completely lost its strength and was slowly dragged to the shore by Leo.

It was a beautiful fish with silver scales and a streamlined body, half a meter long.

Leo quickly picked up the net, probed into the water accurately, copied the big fish, looked at it, and said with satisfaction: "Look, Prian, this is the real big fish." Well, we had fish to eat tonight. ”

In contrast, the fish that Leo caught was indeed much larger than the one caught before.

Hearing Leo say this, the man's expression didn't change much, but he sighed and said, "Novices can always catch big fish, didn't you do the same when you first came?"

Leo smiled, and instead of answering the other party's words, he said to Leo, "How is it, is it interesting?"

"Yes, very interesting. Leo replied heartily.

With patient waiting, fierce fighting, and rich rewards, he has to admit that fishing is indeed a very attractive activity.

Just as he was about to throw the hook into the water again, Leo snatched the rod back.

"Okay, it's almost time now, go pick up Isha back for dinner, she's in the training ground in the north, it's easy to find. We'll talk about the rest later. ”

"Oh, good. Leo couldn't understand Leo's thoughts more and more, but he would see Isha soon, and of course he would not delay, so he galloped away as fast as he could.

Looking at his back, the bearded man smiled and said, "Leo, you have found a good son-in-law." ”

"Of course. Leo smiled and threw the hook into the water. (To be continued......)
