Sheila left Hans and Reyna alone and followed the elves to the trunk of the tree.

They passed through a tree hole, and then came out on the other side, which seemed to be a large platform, with a level ground surrounded by tree trunks, and above it was the sky.

In the middle of the platform stood a giant drum, and Bessie said, "This is the battle drum of the Shadow Song Forest, as long as the big drum is beaten in a special way, you can order the tree people of the Shadow Song Forest to do some specific things, and if someone invades the Shadow Song Forest, you can also direct the tree people to fight through this drum." But it's not an easy task to start it, at least not in our current state of elves. ”

Alpha walked to an altar-like place next to him, as if praying to the gods.

Sheila also looked everywhere, and from the gaps in some of the branches, she could look out, and all around here was an endless sea of trees, full of life, and you could see a lot of birds and beasts shuttling through the forest.

Sheila said, "Won't the Treants hurt the beasts here?"

Bessie said, "Actually, the Treants would not harm any living beings, but the Shadow Song Forest has been attacked by humans for a long time, so they have no choice but to regard the invading humans as enemies. Now Alpha is praying to the Tree of Life that they stop treating the three of you as enemies. Even if we are not with you in the future, you can still enter the Shadow Song Forest without being attacked. I can see that you have good hearts, and if you have the chance, I hope you can communicate with the other humans so that they don't have to fight against the Shadowsong Forest anymore, so that we can live together peacefully. ”

Sheila sighed and said: "Now human beings are fighting against human beings themselves, even the same country, different people have been fighting, the war has continued for thousands of years, in fact, I also believe what you said now, the elves do not want to take the initiative to harm humans, but the endless greed of some human beings has caused endless struggles." Even brothers can kill each other for power. ”

At this time, Hans and Rena also walked in, and Rena seemed to calm down, but her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and it seemed that she had been greatly frightened by the experience just now.

Alpha called Bessie over, and Bessie said to Sheila, "We're going to pray one more time and let the Tree of Life lend us the energy, so that we can maintain a certain amount of combat power after leaving the Shadow Song Forest." With that, Bessie walked in the direction of the altar.

Hans and Reyna walked over to Sheila together, and Hans, seeing Sheila's melancholy eyes, asked, "Is there anything on your mind?"

Sheila said, "Hans, do you think we can stop the war?"

"Stop the war?" Hans looked at Sheila, her question really asking herself.

What is the best thing to do to prevent war? It is indeed the most ideal thing to prevent war, no one will die without fighting. But is it possible? Obviously not.

Hans, however, replied: "You say that if Prince Barre were to give up the struggle for the throne and assist Wells in ruling the Kingdom of France, it might really reduce the number of wars, but do you think it is feasible?"

Sheila said: "Wells is a greedy man, and even if he rules France, he will invade other countries, and even attack the Shadow Song Forest, which is about to awaken, and then it will be another war of human suffering. ”

Hans said: "We may not be able to stop the war completely, but we can do our best to minimize the human damage caused by the war, and all we can do now is to believe that Barre can be a good king, and help him to overthrow Wells, and then establish a peaceful kingdom." ”

Sheila said, "But this process still has to go through the war, can we find a way to solve Wells alone?"

Hans said, "Don't you remember that Master Tianxiang once said, don't try to assassinate Wells? ”

Then Reyna said, "We're going to go out of here in a while, are we going to fly again?"

Both Hans and Sheila were interrupted by Reina's words, but judging by her worried expression, they thought it was a problem to face.

Hans said, "It's almost dark, and even if we rush back now, it won't be much, so let's rest here for the night, and we'll make plans for tomorrow." ”

Alpha and Bessie's business seemed to be done, and they flew back to stand on Sheila's shoulder, as if they had acquiesced to this place as their base, and of course Sheila didn't care too much.

"The Tree of Life is a great place to rest, and there are some tree holes underneath that, and the space inside is very suitable," Bessie said. ”

"We'll rest now, and then we'll set out in the wee hours of the morning, so that we won't be easily spotted by the soldiers of Leo's ramparts when we cross the Shadowsong Canyon," said Hans. ”

Sheila also said: "That's fine, after crossing the Maide River, it will probably be daylight, and then you can buy horses." ”

Hans looked at Sheila and said, "Do you have any money?"

Sheila spread her hands and said, "Isn't Rena a professional, weishenme wants to bring money?"

Rena sighed, anyway, it's a blessing that she doesn't need to fly again.

Led by Alpha and Bessie, the trio came to a hollow in a tree that looked like a room, but there was nothing in it, only a relatively empty space and a level floor. The three of them had to lean against a corner and close their eyes together.

......

In the middle of the night, Hans woke up, he looked at the time, it was already two o'clock in the morning, Hans saw that Sheila and Rena were sleeping soundly, and Alpha and Bessie did not know where.

He thought about it, anyway, it was still early, so he shouldn't wake them up too early, so he walked outside alone.

Hans kept returning to the big platform and looked at the sky full of stars, it was a crescent moon today, and the surrounding scenery was blurred.

Hans looked at the northern sky, and thought of the situation in France again, and wondered how Mary was now, he hadn't seen her for a long time. As a civilian, living in such a troubled time can be more miserable.

Suddenly, Alpha's voice sounded behind him: "When are we leaving?"

Hans looked back and saw that Alpha and Bessie were floating in the air, and then asked, "Don't you have to sleep?"

"There is a need to sleep, but the way we sleep is different from that of humans, and when we have nothing to do, we can just quietly close our eyes and enter a state of rest," Alpha said. Short breaks can also keep us energized. But if it is peaceful, this state of rest may last for a long time. ”

Hans smiled, and then said, "Why don't you get them up sooner, and then we'll go out in a slower way, and don't fly any more, or Reyna won't be able to stand it." ”

Alpha said, "It's okay, you can let the tree people send us out by passing us." ”

Hans said, "Well, then I'll wake them up with this big drum." As he spoke, he walked over to the drum in the middle.

Alpha said, "If you can beat the drum, I will be your servant for the rest of my life." The drum stick is under that high platform, you can try it. ”

When Hans heard this, he was a little unconvinced. He walked over to the big drum, and saw that the big drum was erected, and there was a high platform next to it, on which people could stand and beat the drum, and the drum stick that Alpha was talking about was a wooden stick placed on a small platform under the high platform, and this wooden stick was about a meter long and as thick as an arm.

Hans was about to pick up the stick, but he didn't lift it up at the first glance. What looked like a wooden stick seemed to be much heavier than an iron bar.

Hans couldn't pick it up with all his might, the stick was really evil, and then he tried it, using the Great Force Magic, and tried to lift the stick again, but only lifted it a little, and fell down heavily.

Hans exhaled and said, "Do you have to use this stick to hit that drum?"

Alpha said, "Without a drum stick, you will feel that this drum is harder than steel and cannot be beaten." ”

Hans had no choice but to throw in the towel, and then went down to wake up Sheila and Reina, ready to send them out in a more peaceful way.
