How does this sound like a last word?

"Don't do anything stupid!" Nan Bai looked nervous and stretched out his hand to stop him.

Laila's face was full of helplessness, and she spread her hands and said, "What do you want?" It's getting dark, I'm going to lose consciousness, and I'll have to fight with you before I can go. ”

Hearing this, Nan Baiwei took the package with his hands and feet quickly, "You go, don't send it if you go slowly." ”

After saying that, she didn't care where Laila went, she went into the house and found a comfortable place to lie down.

By the time the sound of the rope had faded away, Laila had disappeared from where she was, leaving with the grain.

Nan Baiwei lay in his sleeping bag and made sure that the sound was completely gone before opening his eyes.

As she promised Laila to help him, she heard the system chime.

＊＊

The first rays of the morning sun shone on Nan Baiwei's face, and she woke up from her deep sleep.

The outside of the building was so quiet that you could hear a pin falling on the ground, and Nan Baiwei simply finished packing up her things, took out a loaf of bread from the backpack that Laila had given her, and ate it.

Neither Laila nor Gu Li came back, so they should still be unconscious, and Nan Baiwei could only wander here by herself to find clues.

I've been listening to Layla's introduction yesterday, but I haven't searched these buildings, and some information can be seen in the buildings to a greater or lesser extent.

Nan Baiwei first found out from their office hall, which was the closest building to her.

She cautiously walked into the dilapidated building, a cloud of dust kicking up beneath her feet.

The murals on the walls are blurred, but the remnants of the fragments still give a sense of the elves' prosperity.

She searched for any clues that might reveal the message, trying to uncover the truth behind the elves leaving the land.

Passing through the half-collapsed corridor, Nan Baiwei came to what appeared to be a hall, which was once the place where the elven patriarch convened meetings and held celebrations.

Today, however, all that remains is piles of broken furniture and littered debris.

In the dim light, everything seemed so sad.

She noticed that despite the severe crumbling of the building, there were no visible signs of fighting.

There were no traces of swords on the walls, and no blood on the floor.

This doesn't look like he was forced to leave here, Nan Baiwei guessed.

After wandering around the hall several times and finding no other clues, Nan Baiwei left here and went to the next building.

After visiting several buildings in succession, all of them were like office halls, and there were no traces of battle, which made Nan Baiwei even more convinced that the elves might not have been forced to leave this land under the invasion of foreign enemies, but voluntarily abandoned this place for some reason.

Unable to find any other clues in the building, Nan Baiwei began to wander around the village.

She wandered aimlessly through the desolate elven land, and finally found a huge pit in the middle of the village.

The diameter of the pit is about 10 meters, and the edge of the pit is steep, and there is no grass, which adds a bit of mystery.

Driven by curiosity, Nan Baiwei slowly walked along the edge of the pit, trying to peek into the secrets of the bottom of the cave.

Suddenly, her eyes were drawn to a branch shaped like a stone.

This branch is about half a meter long and has a peculiar shape, Nan Baiwei cautiously approached and picked up this seemingly ordinary branch.

I don't know what material it is, but it's unusually smooth to the touch, and it seems to have some kind of magical power.

Out of curiosity, Nan Baiwei decided to bring the branch back, maybe Laila would see some kind of information on it.

That night, Nan Baiwei returned to the patriarch's building and raised the bonfire, according to Laila, he should have regained consciousness tonight, and he would take the initiative to come here, right?

Speaking of which, she has no place to use her salvage opportunities today, which is a pity!

Nan Baiwei felt sorry for his salvage opportunity, and he couldn't open the blind box after a good one!

The more she thought about it, the more distressed she became, and she angrily took out the chicken leg from Laila's bag and ate it fiercely.

I don't know where Laila took out this baggage, this chicken leg is quite delicious.

Just as she was nibbling on the chicken legs, there was a sound of squeezing at the door.

Nan Bai took out a stone axe and a knife vigilantly and pointed them at the door, but saw that the person who came was dressed in clothes made of green leaves, and there was a small bird standing on his shoulder.

This person is none other than Layla.

Nan Bai put down the weapon in his hand silently, "Have you regained consciousness?" ”

Laila nodded, "Just recovered, I thought you had already gone back." ”

"I promised to help you, so naturally I won't leave first." As he spoke, Nan Baiwei remembered something and took out the branches in the baggage.

"Look, I picked it up in the big pit in the middle of the village, do you know me?"

Layla's originally calm expression became very excited when she saw the branch, "Where did you say you picked it up?" ”

"In the middle of the village."

"In the middle of the village... That's the direction of the Tree of Life, this branch, it's the Tree of Life! Laila said in a firm tone.

"The branches of the tree of life are petrified... No wonder my people have abandoned this place. As she spoke, Layla's expression slowly became a little pleased.

Nan Baiwei stood aside in confusion, how could he see so much information from a branch?

Seeing that Nan Baiwei didn't understand, Laila took the initiative to explain that this seemingly ordinary branch was actually a branch of the tree of life.

The Tree of Life is a symbol of the Elven faith, possessing magical powers that not only give birth to the Elves, but also protect the entire Elven Race.

After explaining, Laila pinched the trick in her hand, and her whole body emitted a pale green fluorescence, and the green light slowly spread to the branches.

The branches began to resonate, and then, as if it had received a call from Layla's heart, a voice suddenly sounded in the air, ethereal and ethereal, as if from the distant past.

It sings a ballad, like an ancient elven song, which tells of the splendor of the tree of life, the glory of the elves, and the yearning for peace.

Although Nan Baiwei couldn't understand the meaning of the lyrics, she deeply felt the sadness and helplessness in her voice.

The singing gradually dissipated, Nanbai slightly recalled the melody of the ballad, she looked at Layla, she thought that the other party would have a sad face, but she didn't expect him to smile excitedly.

Nan Baiwei: ?
