Chapter 22: The Elves and the Spirit Fruit
"Second sister, what makes you so happy?" Li Zijun was also startled when he saw Jenny coming in in a hurry, and thought that something had happened, but when he saw the happy look on Jenny's face, he was relieved.
"Ed, do you know what you brought back from the Tiger Bandits?" asked Jenny as she looked at Li Zijun with wide eyes.
"I heard the monkey say that it was a white stone and two elven beauties, I haven't seen them yet, how do they look?" Li Zijun asked with a grin, looking at Jenny.
"You haven't seen it yet, Ed, you're almost out of sight!" Jenny said as she carefully took out a brocade box and placed it in front of Li Zijun.
Li Zijun opened the brocade box with doubts, and at a moment something the size of a fist and the appearance of a white nut appeared in front of Li Zijun.
"Is this something to eat?" Li Zijun asked as he looked at Jenny puzzled.
"Stinky boy, I've read books in vain for so many years! This is Sheling Fruit! I really don't know what shit luck you have taken, such a treasure can be met by you!" Jenny was extremely happy, laughing and hammering Li Zijun's shoulder hard.
"Second sister, you're not joking with me, are you?" asked Li Zijun, looking at Jenny in disbelief.
Li Zijun had seen the introduction of the Spirit Fruit in some books, it was a treasure for other intelligent creatures in the Youlan Continent, but it was indeed a nightmare for the elf race. No one knows exactly where the fruit comes from, but as soon as the elf touches it, it immediately melts into the elf's body. If this spirit is possessed, more than five layers of energy in her body will be transferred to the person who possesses her. At the same time, elves have certain talents, and these talents can also be partially transferred to humans. This also makes every human who possesses the Spirit Fruit Spirit Spirit at least reach the level of the Great Sword Master or the Great Magister, and even a Sword Saint in the Turbulent Hungarian Empire has achieved today's results through the Spirit Fruit. It's no wonder Li Zijun can't believe it!
"I can't be wrong! I've consulted Mr. Bilbohm, and he recognizes it as the Spirit Fruit," Jenny said excitedly, waving her hand to bring the two elves in.
Just by taking a look, Li Zijun was attracted by the two elf beauties in front of him. He couldn't even find any suitable words to describe them, and he couldn't help but sigh at their beauty!
They should be a pair of sisters, they are somewhat similar in appearance, their facial features have formed the best golden ratio, but if you look closely, they have completely different temperaments, one is gentle and the other is cold!
The elf beauty standing in front of Li Zijun's left was wearing an emerald green skirt, two crescent-like curved eyebrows, as if she was frowning, and there were tears in her eyes, which made Li Zijun feel a slight sour in his heart when he saw her, and wanted to step forward to soothe her fragile heart.
And the elf beauty standing on Li Zijun's right was wearing a white gauze skirt, her edges and corners were extremely distinct, on her face, Li Zijun didn't see any expression, just saw the indifference in her sunken eyes!
It's so beautiful! It's so perfect! With their delicate faces, tall figures, moderate breasts, slightly upturned buttocks, slender thighs, and their bleaching skin, Li Zijun can't find a single flaw on their bodies! I believe that everyone who sees them will have the same sigh as Li Zijun!
"Ed, don't be stupid! see which one you are going to keep?" Jenny's words made Li Zijun immediately feel an unusual headache.
An elf can generally live to be more than three hundred years old, and their adult age is seventy years old. And the elves who have used the Sheling Fruit will immediately become the same lifespan as humans, that is to say, if the two elf beauties in front of Li Zijun use the Sheling Fruit, they will immediately turn into goosebumps and crane-haired old women after they have sex with Li Zijun, which is simply the most terrible punishment for such a beautiful elf in front of him! Li Zijun didn't know what choice he should make, and Jenny was also a little at a loss.
Just when Li Zijun and Jenny were hesitating, the cold elf suddenly walked out and came directly in front of Li Zijun.
"As long as you promise me to let my sister go, I have a way to let you get more out of me!" said the cold elf as he looked at Li Zijun.
"Sister!" The gentle elf couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and they poured down her cheeks, making Li Zijun's heart ache for a while, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Leng Yan Elf didn't care whether Li Zijun agreed or not, she directly pulled up his left hand, bit him his ring finger, and then dripped the blood on his finger directly onto the Sheling Fruit, and then she broke her ring finger again, and also dripped the blood onto the Sheling Fruit. The blood of the two of them flashed a red light on the Sheling Fruit, and it seeped directly into it, and the Sheling Fruit suddenly heard a "crackling" sound at this moment, and then the shell of the Sheling Fruit spread out, and a white jade ball-like thing that was still circulating red silk appeared in front of everyone.
"Remember, you must let my sister go!" The cold beauty looked at Li Zijun again and said, she didn't wait for Li Zijun's answer, picked up the spirit fruit and threw it directly into her mouth.
After the cold beauty swallowed the spirit fruit, her body seemed to be shrouded in a beam of white light, and the forbidden magic ring that bound her was melted into ashes by the white light at this moment, and she looked like a holy and dignified goddess, Li Zijun and Jenny, who were standing beside her, thought that because of their greed, they were about to bring great harm to this beautiful elf, and they both felt ashamed from the bottom of their hearts! In order to enhance their own strength, they want to let such a pure and kind girl directly enter old age, and they all avoided her gaze at this moment and did not dare to look at her again!
And after she swallowed the Spirit Fruit, Li Zijun felt more worried in his heart, and he was not worried at all that the cold and glamorous beauty who had lost the restriction of the forbidden magic ring would hurt him!
"I beg you, don't take possession of my sister, she will die immediately!" This is the gentle elf beauty standing behind her who suddenly bypassed the cold beauty and ran directly in front of Li Zijun, kneeling on the ground with his legs in her arms, and crying loudly at the same time!
Her performance frightened both Li Zijun and Jenny,
"Weishenme?" asked Jenny, a little puzzled.
"Adopting this method of taking the Spirit Fruit is equivalent to declaring that the elf is willing to give on its own initiative, and the person who gets her sister afterwards will get more than eighty percent of her energy, but the sister will also completely lose her vitality because of this, and she will die immediately! I beg you! You can let me do anything, please let my sister go!" she said as she hugged Li Zijun's thigh and cried bitterly.
Faced with such a situation, Li Zijun and Jenny were a little dumbfounded, they already felt very guilty just now, they didn't expect that this time it would be more serious, it would hurt other people's lives! They really didn't know what to do this time. After a while, Li Zijun's eyes gradually became firm, and he saw that Jenny also seemed to have a decision.
"Can I tell you your names?" Li Zijun's smile was full of sincerity.
"My name is Anna and this is my sister Anne. I hope you will keep your promise and spare my sister so that she can return to the Elven Forest. Leng Yan Elf looked at Li Zijun and said lightly.
"Oh, hello, you can call me Amity, I want to know if there is a way to remove the Spirit Fruit from your body?" Hearing Li Zijun's words, Jenny also showed a kind smile.
"Xiexie, your kindness, but I haven't heard of an elf who can lift the curse of the Spirit Fruit!You don't have to feel too guilty, this is the fate of our elves!I just beg you to send Anne back to the Elven Forest safely, and don't let her stay in human society anymore!" Anne said with some loneliness.
"Sister, isn't there a legend in our elven clan, as long as you can reach the holy level, you can get rid of the shackles of the spirit fruit!" Anne hurriedly said when she heard Anna's words, and at the same time she looked at Li Zijun and Jenny with expectant eyes.
"That's just a legend, no one has ever really succeeded!" Anna said with a moment's hesitation.
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must also work hard! Don't worry, if you wait until you are seventy or eighty, if you have not advanced to the Holy Rank, it will not be too late to marry me at that time!" Li Zijun said with a smile. As he spoke, he helped Anne up, and at the same time lifted the forbidden ring from her hand.
The Forbidden Demon Ring is a very peculiar thing, and it will not affect daily ordinary life with it, but it can't use Dou Qi or release magic, and even a liliang that is too big can't use it. Just biting Li Zijun and his own fingers is already Anna's limit!
"I'm sorry for the hurt our greed has done you! If there's any way you can get back to the Elven Forest, I'm willing to send you both back. Li Zijun looked at them and said.
"The elves are a relatively closed race, and they rarely come to human society, and even if they do come to human society occasionally, the itinerary will be very tight. I can only hope that when I meet the team of elves going out to run errands, Anne will be able to return. Anna said with a sigh.
Li Zijun and Jenny heard Anna only mention Anne's name, and the two of them looked at each other and felt deep guilt again!
"If we send you to the Elven Forest, will you be able to find your way home?" Li Zijun asked with some reluctance.
"The Elven Forest is not something that a person of our strength can enter! This is also what we only found out after we came out, before we all thought that those were just excuses for the elders to scare us, but now, hey!
"Sister, they all blame me! If I hadn't pestered you to come out with me, you wouldn't be like you are today!" Anne, who had just gotten better, began to cry again.
"Annie, I don't blame you for this, if I hadn't figured it out too, maybe you wouldn't have left the Elven Forest! Anna took the weeping Anne into her arms.
"In this way, you will stay in the Hou Mansion, and when I get the news of the elf clan, I will send you back. If you think of any way to remove the Spirit Fruit, we are all willing to try it!" Li Zijun looked at Jenny and said, and the two of them nodded together. But then Jenny showed some worried expressions, and looked at Anna to stop talking.
"Sister Jenny, after the ceremony just now, even if others possess me, they won't get a cent of energy, and I will completely belong to Ed until the curse of the Spirit Fruit is lifted!" Anna saw Jenny's expression and immediately guessed what she was thinking, and said with a smile.
Hearing Anna say this, Jenny was also relieved.
"Thank you very much for taking care of us, we will not forget your kindness to us!" Anna got up and took Anna and gave Li Zijun and Jenny a deep salute.
Since then, in Li Zijun's Hou Mansion, there has been a pair of beautiful elves!
"What, Raz didn't make it to the place of trade! What the hell is going on?" the fifth prince, Dennis, was shocked when he heard the news of Raz's disappearance!
"President Raz entered the prairie three months ago, and since then there has been no news, and we always thought that he had arrived at his destination long ago, but he was delayed by something and did not come back in time to report the news. ”
"But the other day the Cyclian Empire came to urge, and I learned that President Raz had been gone for a long time. I immediately mobilized our Liliang on the grassland to investigate the matter, but we never got any news. We've also reached out to the Tigers and Wolves to try to get some information about President Raz's whereabouts. Among them, the Wolf Bandit Group did not have any large-scale actions during that time, and it should have nothing to do with them, while the Tiger Bandit Group was more chaotic during that time, their upper echelons changed, and then a great purge was carried out, and we were unfortunately in the ranks of the purged in the middle level, and the few people in the lower layers were not even very clear about the purge that had occurred in their internal weishenme, and it was even less likely that they would understand other things. Moreover, the time when the purge of the Tiger Bandits happened to be the time when President Raz disappeared, and it seems unlikely that they would have the idea of attacking President Raz under such circumstances. ”
"It's just ・・・・・・," the man standing in front of Dennis hesitated.
"Is there anything else?" the fifth prince asked a little strangely when he saw his subordinates like this.
"During this time, our people found two elven beauties in the palace of the Marquis of Edlaide, and according to their descriptions, they resembled the two elven beauties who disappeared with Raz. ”
"You mean?"
"I suspect that this matter must have something to do with the Marquis of Edlaide, if we can get our things back from him, at least the Spirit Fruit!"
Hearing the words of his subordinates, Dennis's face instantly changed several times, repeatedly recalling the experience of dealing with Li Zijun for so many years, and finally he shook his head helplessly.
"Ed, that kid won't buy my account, you better don't talk about this anymore!, but you have to investigate this matter clearly, and you must make sure that those two elven beauties are the two people we want to send to the prairie. If it is really obtained by Charity, I am not worried, he will also keep the secret of the Soul Fruit. I'm just afraid that this matter will be known by the eldest brother, and once he knows about the fact that we contacted the Turk-Hungarian Empire behind his back, it will be difficult for me to explain it to him!"
"As for the Turk-Hungarian Empire, tell them the truth, tell them about the disappearance of the Raz Chamber of Commerce in the steppe, and ask them to help us find out the truth of the matter! Do you think it will be them who are thieves shouting to catch thieves?" Dennis suddenly asked with a sudden movement in his heart.
"Shelingguo is to help the eldest prince of the Turk-Hungarian Empire break through again, this matter will definitely cause dissatisfaction among several other princes, and if they take action against Raz, it is also a normal thing. ”
"Even so, we don't have much to do!Leave it to them, they have more ways than us in the grassland, let them find out the truth about Raz's disappearance on their own!As for the Spirit Fruit, tell the eldest prince that we will continue to help them find it!" Dennis said with a sigh.
Just as Dennis was guessing who was dealing with Raz, Timothy, the Ninth Prince, walked into Belinda's room. Belinda had fully recovered from her arrow wound, and she was now lazily lying in her getaway chair and rocking.
"Is it all right?" Timothy looked down Belinda's loose placket to see a patch of pink on her chest, and immediately turned her gaze in other directions.
"It's been fine for a long time! I didn't expect this kid to be so good, he should already have the strength of a high-level swordsman!This kid is also ruthless enough, and he actually got poison on such a weapon, and almost made me capsize in the gutter!" Belinda saw Timothy's evasive eyes, smiled in her heart, stretched her waist and said.
"Are you looking at someone wrong!Ed is not yet fourteen years old, how can he be a high-level swordsman?" asked Timothy, looking at Belinda in disbelief.
"He's at least a mid-level swordsman on the verge of breaking through, and he's probably still a high-level magician! His martial arts skills are also very strange, when I fight him, he always leads my Liliang in other directions, so that I can't do my best all the time, this kid is interesting!" Belinda remembered the process of fighting Li Zijun, and said with a smile.
"You don't seem to resent him when he hurt you?" High mage, you can't be poisoned stupid, right?" said Timothy, unconvinced.
"Believe it or not, but I want to remind you that as long as Ed doesn't leave Sarat City, it will be very difficult for even the Juggernaut to hurt him. Although my injury this time had a lot to do with my own carelessness, the strange weapon in his hand also played a large role. The arrows shot through it were too fast, without a certain distance, and it would be difficult for an unsuspecting Juggernaut to dodge. This thing should have just been equipped, and the amount of equipment is not much, otherwise it will be difficult for me to come back!" Belinda remembered the thrill at that time, and she couldn't help but be afraid.
"When I was fighting him off, I wanted to go up and catch him, but he actually silently sent countless wind blades, with the strength and number of wind blades, it is impossible for an ordinary magician to have such a strong strength! This kid has really grown up, and he is no longer the child we slaughtered!" Belinda said with a sigh.
"What is the relationship between Ed and the Tiger Bandits, and how could Wells have been captured by him?" asked Timothy, puzzled.
"Although it is difficult for our people to enter the middle and upper echelons of the Tiger Bandit Clan, through the last Meilong Mountain Range and this incident, I can basically judge that the Tiger Bandit Regiment must be a liliang hidden in the shadows of the Li family!"
"If that's the case, I'm going to tell my father about it, so that Ed can't eat and walk around!" Timothy said fiercely.
Belinda glanced at Timothy with contempt, and then thought that it was probably because of his impulsive personality that the Cult of the Dark Moon took a fancy to him.
"Do you think that old man of yours doesn't know about this? He's just pretending to be confused! Ed is his son after all, and he is actually happy that Ed has such strength, so that Ed is safe! As long as Ed doesn't do too much, he will never interfere in this matter! Expose the relationship between the Tiger Bandits and Ed? You better save your effort! No one will believe you!" Belinda looked out the window and ignored Timothy.
Timothy clenched her fists and flicked her sleeves out of Belinda's room.
At this time, Li Zijun, who was hated by Timothy to the root, had a very comfortable time during this time! Originally, Li Zijun and Jenny wanted to arrange Sister Anna to live in a separate courtyard, or live with Jenny. What they didn't expect was that Sister Anna actually asked to live in a courtyard with Li Zijun, and Li Zijun and Jenny could roughly guess their intentions, they wanted to repay their kindness by taking care of Charity. Li Zijun and Jenny looked at each other and smiled, and agreed to their request.
After a period of contact, Li Zijun discovered that Anne was actually a plant-based magician, and Anna was even more powerful, an intermediate swordsman who was about to break through. I really don't know how they were caught with their strength? When Li Zijun asked how they were caught, their answer made Li Zijun even more surprised, they just felt dizzy, and after waking up, they had already been put on the forbidden ring. They didn't have a chance to resist at all, so they were caught, and hearing them say this, Li Zijun was a little interested in the methods of the elf hunters.
As a botanical magician, Anne casts her magic to turn Li Zijun's small courtyard into a shady place, and she can also ripen fruits, which allows Li Zijun to eat fresh fruits every day.
But this is not what makes Li Zijun the happiest, he found that elves are the darlings of magic elements, when Anna practiced or Anne meditated, the magic elements in the courtyard were unusually dense, after this period of cultivation, as well as the experience gained from fighting Belinda, he actually broke through again and entered the level of a senior swordsman, and the magic aspect can also release the magic of the great wizard level! At the same time, thanks to the addition of Sister Anna's sparring, Li Zijun has greatly improved in terms of skills and details in the use of martial arts and magic, and now he is confident that when he faces the man in black again, although he will not be able to defeat the other party, at least he will not be as embarrassed as he was at the beginning!
