Chapter 31: The Twisted Elven Kingdom

Earlier than expected, Li Guangfu led the elven royal family into the former elven kingdom.

The labyrinth of the Forest of Mysteries did not become a malevolent labyrinth, but rather something even more vulnerable than that, structurally becoming as fragile as the malevolent labyrinth, while retaining most of the right path.

Not surprisingly, the faces of those elven masters who were difficult to serve became unsightly again.

Li Guangfu himself is okay, but some of the arguments among his soldiers are not very good.

Perhaps because of the blessing of the true God, or because of the living environment that requires long-term fighting, after hundreds of years, the talent and strength of the short-born species, especially the new generation of human beings, are obviously stronger than their ancestors, compared to the immortal species, there is little change in this "mere hundred years".

At the same time, what is needed to purify the filth is the migration and settlement of a large number of people, and the immortals are not of any use in this regard, and the total number of newborns in the elven race for hundreds of years is not known whether there are a hundred.

After the mysterious veil of the elves gradually faded after the establishment of the United Kingdom, their various small shortcomings were gradually magnified in the hearts of the people, and the situation of public opinion was particularly bad in the kingdom for about a hundred years.

Wang He once retold Juan Er's statement to Li Guangfu: It is like seeing the goddess in a dream and people scolding and fighting in the street, how much I longed for it, how disgusted I will be now.

But now, after a few hundred years, the attitude towards the elves has risen and fallen, and finally it has returned to the ordinary: they are just another race, and nothing else.

But what do the elves think?

Li Guangfu couldn't help but think about these things, because what he was going to do next might cause all the hundreds of years of reproduction efforts to disappear in an instant, and maybe even go back a lot.

For human beings with short lifespans, this kind of life, which can easily take thousands of years, is too heavy.

I heard that the Wickens had a very unspeakable past with the Elves, and that that past contained many unsightly words such as "slave traders" and "human trafficking", it is really hard to imagine what terrible moral level the Wickens had at that time......

Ah, no, no, no, it's all the old calendar, and it's too incorrect to always think about this kind of question, and it's harmful to unity.

Li Guangfu dispelled superfluous distractions and concentrated on appreciating ...... Hmm, or try to enjoy the old scene of the elven kingdom in front of you.

In a sense, thanks to the nature of the past that reproduces the corrupted existence of the filthy, the elven kingdom will not be blown up and simply turned into ruins, and everything in the elven kingdom is said to have magical properties, in other words, after being free from the control of the filth, it will be repaired by the grace of the gods, which is also the source of confidence that the elven royal family can regain control of their kingdom.

It's just that they definitely didn't expect that one of the series of big explosions that caused the current situation would happen in the elven kingdom.

The basic characteristic of elven architecture is that its architectural rationality is completely based on magic, there is no load-bearing structure that should exist, everything is given way to the personal aesthetics of the builder, and an important job of the elven royal family is to adapt these buildings so that they can be integrated into the architectural aesthetics of the entire kingdom.

And the architectural aesthetics of the entire kingdom actually refers to the aesthetics of the royal family.

In this way, the miraculously beautiful complex that has been created through the coordination of many parties and the interweaving of various opinions and magic is now facing a great challenge.

That's when their chassis goes from flat to concave.

The ornate elven complex, which was supposed to be built on flat ground, now has a huge hole in it, and the elven buildings like to be built very thin and very tall, and the result of such a building growing on a concave surface is that the top floor begins to fight.

As mentioned earlier, elven buildings are entirely based on magic, and such buildings create conflicts, not only in terms of physical structure, but also between magic.

To add insult to injury, the filth of the land was not purified, but brutally removed, with the result that the tainted creatures of the past were thrown back into complete chaos.

For example, the tower that is the most well-preserved because it is kept straight in the middle of the pit - even if you take into account the fact that it is intertwined by other buildings that stand diagonally, it is the most intact one.

According to its original owner, it was originally made mainly of marble, and the overall shape was conceived as a reference to the red leaf begonia, and more levitation and anti-gravity circles were used to create a lifelike effect.

But now its main material has become Mithril, which was originally one of the main materials used to build the circle.

From a resource perspective, marble turned into an equal amount of Mithril, which might have woken up most mages, but it was a complete disaster for the building itself.

Because its architectural structure is based on magic, marble has become Mithril, so what has become of Mithril in the circle?

This may be difficult to understand from a distance, but all one can see is that it has been interspersed with a large number of magical buildings, and the Mithril Tower is full of colorful magical turbulence, and its body is sometimes distorted in space, sometimes there are gravity anomalies, sometimes sparks, sometimes gushing clear springs.

And yes, it's one of the best-preserved buildings as far as the eye can see.

Directly above the concave surface, the point where countless towers are staggered, has formed an indescribable magic core, the center of that core is a purple ball, beyond the ball is an irregularly shaped, constantly changing the color of a huge magic field, a large amount of magic power and mixed high-grade magic materials composed of a certain magic fluid is constantly sprayed out because of the explosion, pouring on a certain building will cause countless sparks, lightning, ice and rain meteors.

Sometimes some buildings will be sucked into the core like noodles, and sometimes some buildings will rush out of the core like poisonous snakes out of their holes, taking up the rare space between the other buildings, making the whole elven kingdom more varied and, well, charming eyes.

Now the entire elven kingdom is more like an indescribable monster than a magical capital, with countless tentacles surging up and down, as if they want to choose people to devour.

Li Guangfu began to seriously think about whether to let the filth erode this place again, and after reproducing the elven kingdom of the [past], this place would become a little easier to take over.

But what matters more to him now is not the status quo of the Elven Kingdom, nor the apparently shaky morale of his men (are we really going to rush into that kind of thing!?), but the attitude of the Elven Royalty.

Li Guangfu didn't think that any people or elves in their right minds would have any extravagant expectations after seeing this kind of scene, so they should have to implement Plan B, or even Plan C......

"General Li, let's move on. ”

"Are you serious??? "Li Guangfu almost roared.

The one-eyed elf raised his right hand at something that had once been the kingdom of the elves, only to see a bracelet on his right wrist glow a faint blue light, and then many intricate patterns that only elves could comprehend the meaning spread out of it, taking up his entire right arm.

And as if echoing this, more than a dozen buildings in the frenzied building complex also emitted blue light, although they are also constantly changing positions with the frenzy of the whole building complex, but their relative relationship with each other has not changed at all, the blue magic stripes are interconnected with each other, if you can look at it from the right angle, you can find that they together form a huge national magic array!

Although the magic circle was constantly rotating due to the change in the position of its constructor, its structure miraculously remained intact in the midst of this chaotic storm!

"Those who have been distorted are only the personal residences of the inhabitants of the kingdom, and the truly important systems of the kingdom will not be affected by this level of distortion!" the one-eyed elf could not hide the pride and excitement in his heart.

In fact, your completely different attitude from the usual has already exposed yourself, and you definitely didn't expect that system to survive in the first place. Li Guangfu thought to himself.

The fact that Plan A can be executed should be good news for Lee Guangfu, but if it means that he has to lead his troops into the monster's body, that would be a different matter.

"I hope you can understand my concerns, and unless you can point out a feasible path, I will not be able to command my army to that ...... Place!"

Li Guangfu's words were like a basin of cold water, which made the one-eyed elf's original excitement have to be cooled down, but even he can understand the reasonableness of this request, and after a secret exchange with the elven royal family, he said to Li Guangfu: "Then please wait a little, the general of the human race, we will find a way!"

——

The clown bouncing around the green cavern, his shaggy hair making constant contact with the top of the cavern, making strange "popping" sounds.

"Sure enough, when it comes to adventure, caves are indispensable, Roth!" said the clown, "Although the crusade mission is also a sure part of the adventure, it is a little less interesting to always fight with the tree spirits!

Roth said helplessly: "Your appearance is enough to ruin the so-called adventurous atmosphere, clown." ”

After passing through the Dryad Demon Net, Roth and the others did not encounter any special obstacles, the original defensive measures were basically self-destructed due to the distortion caused by the filth, and the few stone pillars that were spawned and the slow-moving and stiff jade tree spirits could not become any obstacles.

But the Joker seems to like the ruin feeling.

Lista tapped a strange cube emerging from behind the collapsed wall and asked, "Do we really need to destroy this place again?"

McTsikin withdrew his gaze from the clown and explained, "It's just that the defense system is more broken, and the functions used to summon Dryads and maintain the forest within the node seem to be still functioning, otherwise the camp wouldn't always be attacked by Dryads." But even without the interference of the defense system, destroying the node itself will not be an easy task, and it is not designed to be easily destroyed by a few infiltrated people. ”

"But we don't need to destroy it completely, do we? I remember the mission was just to help the mages in the camp continue to suppress it. Roth said.

The clown tangled, "Hmm...... Destruction...... Although I love ruins, the act of destroying itself is still very unaesthetically pleasing, and I am still a little resistant to doing it myself. Can't you try to fix it?"

McTiffin shook his head and said, "Nodes will affect each other, and this is another layer of security when they are operating normally, even if someone destroys a node, it will start to repair itself under the cycle of magic, and when the offenders who rushed into the elven kingdom start to retreat, we can make them pay more for the battle." But now that the whole system is in a frenzy, this has caused huge trouble for the repair work. ”

He turned his head and looked in the direction of the center of the kingdom through the stone (?) wall and said, "Now only by waiting for the royal family to re-certify the entire system can we do something about the Crazy Forest as a whole. ”

The clown who walked in front stepped on something as he fell, and a strong green light shone from the depths of the cave, and with two loud bangs, two emerald green golems fell out of the walls.

One of the golems, most of which had turned into some kind of wood, was neither strong enough to withstand the magic of the golem itself nor support its structure, and it turned into countless sawdust and scattered to the ground under the fall, as if it had been exchanged with the roots of the trees in the forest.

The other golems are in a slightly better situation, only a small part of the material has been exchanged with ordinary soil, although those parts are also broken into pieces by the golem's own power, but the magic itself seems to be barely linked, although the golem is missing a piece in the east and a piece in the west, it can still barely make some movements.

However, this exchange does not seem to be temporary, and even if the golem tries to repair itself, it will still be a clod of dirt that reappears in those gaps, and it is trapped in a cycle of self-repair and self-destruction.

Seeing this, Roth suddenly had a not-so-good idea, and asked, "Could this be happening at every node, no, in the entire elven kingdom?"

McTiffin didn't seem to expect an adventurer to consider this level of question, and replied with some surprise: "To be exact, this is likely to happen in all the lands created by that explosion, but the situation in the Elven Kingdom, as the place with the most magical creations, is naturally much more serious. Do you think that we are really just trying to reclaim our homeland? If you humans are allowed to mess with themselves, you will definitely choose to swallow the easily obtainable land first, and then indulge in the daydream of making achievements!"

Roth had a bad premonition in his heart: "Could it be that the large amount of land brought by this explosion is not only not a good thing, but a great crisis......

McTiffin felt that this person seemed to be different from other short-sighted humans, and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and said: "It's too pessimistic for you to think like this, as long as the population is in place, how can you humans have land that can't be swallowed?

Lista, as an observer, couldn't stand it anymore: "Please, at least you can say something I can understand, okay?"

The clown catches up with the only moving golem early and plays with it, and the clown induces the golem to succeed in what he should not have been able to do - wrap himself up with limbs made of stone.

How did the Joker turn the Golem into a ball without touching it once...... No one who still follows the normal laws of this world in his way of thinking can understand it, because it is neither vindictive, nor magical, nor even internal, it is the rules of another world entirely.

Roth began to reflect on whether he had inadvertently ignored the mental pressure of Lista, a normal person, in the past few days.

Zhang Luan and Nina may be okay, after all, they don't have a deep understanding of the extraordinary power they have, but at the level of Lista, they will have a little bit of their own understanding of the power in this world.

It is precisely because there is understanding that it is more difficult to accept when encountering something that cannot be understood.

"Speaking of which, you seem quite acceptable to all these strange things of the Joker?" McTwinkin chuckled as he looked at the Joker, who was dancing on the golem that had turned into a ball and greeting Roth.

When McTis Kim asked this, he didn't really think about getting any response, he didn't think that this Roth would have something to do with extraterritorial evil gods or something, in that case he wouldn't be completely indifferent.

But unexpectedly, Roth answered him positively: "I am indeed more receptive to knowledge related to the Otherworld, or the Outlands, even if I am not able to explain why." ”

Roth looked at McTwinkin's stunned face and continued, "And according to the Joker, I may continue to encounter more Outlands in the future. I believe that your real purpose in following us into the depths of this cavern is not as simple as being a guide, and if you are really someone who knows something about the Outlands and is even wary of it, I hope to have your help. ”

——

In the tent, Nina, who didn't want to just wait idly, was packing Zhang Luan's luggage.

He was rightly reluctant to sleep with her at such a time, but Nina knew how talented the boy was at tidying up, and if she didn't find a chance to help him, he would soon not be able to find a pair of socks to wear.

At this moment, the sound of the circle alerted that someone was coming in, and Nina hurriedly covered Zhang Luan's luggage with one of his cloaks and ran back to her bedside.

When she saw that it was Zhang Luan who came back, Nina breathed a sigh of relief.

"Aren't you waiting for them?"

No matter how you think about it, this temporary commission should not be a task that can be completed in such a short time.

But the young man didn't answer this question, he raised his somewhat solemn face and said, "Nina, can you accompany me back to my hometown after this incident is over?"
