Vol 21 Chapter 196: Self-recommended

The entrance of the life mother tree is indeed not far away, but the location of this entrance is relatively hidden, and it is generally not easy to notice. шШщ 网

This entrance is actually located on the trunk of a large tree that looks very ordinary, and the entrance width is only two people in parallel. Of course, in terms of trunks, being able to make such a large hole in it does not affect the growth of the plant, which is already considered very large.
According to the female elves who lead the way, this entrance is not the main passage. The real main aisle is located elsewhere. It is a huge aisle that can run two locomotives side by side, which is much more spacious than this.
Although it is an auxiliary channel, after all, it is the channel connecting the mother tree of life, so there is still a guard here. We were just near the big tree and two elves reached out and stopped us.
"This is the underpass to the mother tree of life. Foreigners are not allowed to come in and out at random. Do you have anything?"
The male elves of the two elves who led the way quickly stepped forward and explained, "We are elves from the western tribe. We came to see the patriarch here on our patriarch's orders, and we hope to get her help. This is our patriarch's The token. "The male elf said, handing out a leaf.
An elf in the guard took the leaf without seeing it, just nodded and said, "It is the leaf of the mother tree of life here, you can pass."
After thanking the two guards, we entered the tree hole. Inside the tree cave is a staircase that spirals downward, not deep, only two stories high. After going to the end, there is a long passage with a slope. This passage is not a passage for human architecture, but a passage formed by the hollow formed by the root of the mother tree of life. Because the channel is not rectangular, the internal space is closer to a circle. It's just a little flat under this direction.
Because the roots of the tree are hollow, the walls of the passage are all made of wood, but not as wrinkled as the trunk's outer skin, but rather rather smooth. After all, this is a pipe inside the tree root, not the bark.
Moving forward quickly in the passageway, halfway through, I met a group of elves who came across. Because there are two elves on our side to lead the way, the other side did not have any doubts, just nodded with us and hurried past. Looks like something urgent.
After staggering with this team of elves, we quickly left this relatively small channel and entered a very wide channel. According to the explanation of the guide spirit, the roots below the mother tree of life are not all directly connected to the central main island, but are gathered into some larger trunks on the periphery before connecting to the main island. We are now almost entering one of the trunks. The traffic here is obviously much larger, and when we came out, we saw a group of heavily armed elven troops running through the front passage, and there were hundreds of light sights Elf. I don't know how much from the front and the back. The whole passage is filled with their neat footsteps.
"What's going on?" Looking at the army running past, Kristina couldn't help but ask the male elf next to him.
The elf shook his head in confusion: "I don't know what military action seems to be. We should hurry up and see the patriarch as soon as possible. Once the battle takes place, the patriarch must be busy. We may not meet with you at that time."
"That's the same, then let's hurry up." I urged everyone to run quickly.
Although there are a lot of elven troops in the main pipeline here, they only occupy the central part of the passage and do not fill the entire passage, so people can start walking on both sides. The only trouble is that going to the opposite road may be a bit troublesome, but we are only going to the main island. So there is no need to cross the marching army.
In fact, after entering the main pipeline, we are not far away from the central island, and we ran forward not far before we reached the exit. Originally, the exit position should be checked by people, but because there are a large number of elven troops running out, the scene is a bit chaotic. The guards no longer check to prevent congestion, but just watch the pedestrians while watching There is no abnormal behavior.
After we came out of the underpass, the guard just looked at us more and said nothing, but the female elf who led us took the initiative to run over and asked the patriarch's location. The guard said helplessly that now they don't know where the patriarch is, they can only be sure that they have not left the mother tree of life.
Without a precise goal, we had to go to the Elf's external reception area first, this place is specially used to receive some visiting guests. Of course, this visit refers to a visit specifically to find the leader of the elves, if you just enter the elven city, you don't need to come here.
The two elves who showed us the road must have been here before, so the route is very familiar, and I found a mushroom room at the root of the life mother tree. Although this mushroom house is built in a huge mushroom, this mushroom is not the same as the mushroom we usually eat. The color of this mushroom is not only colorful, but also very huge. Looking at it from below, you can see that the top of the mushroom is at least 15 or 16 meters high, which means that the mushroom is at least four floors high. Even if living tissue cannot be accessed on the top, the space for living below is enough to divide into three floors.
Although the space is large, the elves are obviously not short of rooms, so the interior of this mushroom is only divided into two upper and lower floors, but the floor height is very high, and the first floor is about four meters. The roof is about the same height.
There is no guard outside the reception room. After entering the interior, it is not a very large room. On the left side of the room is a counter similar to the hotel front desk. There is a beautiful elf who looks only in his early twenties. Of course, the appearance of the elves is usually very unreliable. Six or seven hundred-year-old elves look like someone who is unmarried, so in the elven clan, you ca n’t judge the age by human appearance.
As soon as the two elves who showed us came in, they walked to the front desk and passed the leaf touched by the guard, and then said, "Hello. We want to ask to see the patriarch."
The elf in charge took the leaves and touched them, then returned and said at the same time, "You should have seen them when you came over. We have something wrong here, so the chief may not have the time to see you. If you have You can directly tell me about any request or anything. I ’ll see if I can find someone who handles these things. Of course, if you have to see the patriarch, you ca n’t be sure in time.

The two elves who showed us the way turned back to me for advice, after all, it was our business, they just came to help. I thought about it for a moment, and pulled Porsecigne to the counter together. First, I signaled below that Porsecione released a little breath of life. After the reception elf over there noticed, he began to say, "We want to build an elf city, so we want to find the seed of a mother tree of life. I do n’t know if this kind of thing can be found without seeing the patriarch directly. Other sprites? "
The other person was staring at Persephone when I was talking. I did n’t run into it until after I said, "Things about the mother tree of life are only required to be executed by the patriarch's order, so I'm afraid this is not the case. The law bypasses the patriarch. The patriarch in this state is unlikely to meet outsiders, but the life around you is so strong. I think the patriarch may meet you and may not be here. You can wait here first. I will go to pass Check it out to see if the patriarch is free. "
"Okay, trouble you."
Although it was a briefing, the elf who received us did not leave the reception. She first called out two elves from the inside to ask us to wait in the room, and then she turned and entered a room behind the reception desk. It is estimated that there are magic communication facilities inside.
We followed the two elves who greeted us, but before we got into the reception room, we heard a noise outside, and the door of the reception was slammed open from the outside. The receptionist elf who had just entered the small room also opened the door and took a look, and then she ran straight out.
Pushing in the door was a female elf with long light golden hair around her waist. A height of at least one meter seven five, a long and well-proportioned figure. Wearing a silver-white all-metal battle armor, a gorgeous long sword hung on the outside of each stern. This modeling arrow is the standard elven two-handed swordsman model, which is similar to the poster in the system template. However, the elf in front of him is about thirty years old in terms of human appearance, which means he is mature. However, in terms of the life of the elves, it should be almost an elven over 700 years old.
"Celia, Celia. Hurry up and follow me. Susswell hasn't returned to the Sicilian mine. His Moorish legion is not leading, you can temporarily supervise it."
"But I'm a mage! You asked me to bring a swordsman regiment. I don't know how to command!"
"Even if you're not good at it, it's better for you to have a better understanding than no one directs? OK, don't delay, just follow me."
The elf who received us was rushed out by the elves who rushed in. The reception elf quickly grabbed each other and said, "Wait a few times. There are a few customers here to find you."
"When is it? I don't have time to meet outsiders. Let them wait first." The swordsman who rushed in immediately caught the reception elf and was dragging out.
We already noticed this when the swordsman elves came in, but now we can't understand that this is the patriarch after listening to their conversation. I quickly ran over with the others, and at the same time fully opened my own magic field. The elf patriarch opposite was pulling the reception elf to go out, and suddenly felt a strong and magic wave coming, but then she felt a more pure breath of life. These two breaths gave her a little sting.
I have already come to them in the time of this god, and then I take the initiative to say, "Hello, listen to your conversation just now, you should be the elf patriarch of this elf city? We are a group of outsiders. The purpose of coming here is I want to ask for a seed of the mother tree of life to build a new elven city. We know that the seed of the mother tree of life is a big burden on the mother tree, just what kind of trouble you seem to have encountered here. To be honest, we are still good at fighting. , So if you do n’t object, can we participate in your action to offset some of the compensation?

Because the other side was stunned before, I have finished talking. By the time she responded she understood what I meant. After thinking for a few seconds, the patriarch made a decision immediately. "Although I don't know what your fighting strength is, I can feel that you are very strong. Since you can get here. Someone should be introduced, so as long as you pay a price, you can also give you a seed. You I think the proposal is good, but how much you can compensate for your action will not be evaluated until the end of this time, based on your role in the action. No matter what my assessment is, you cannot raise objections. . Of course, I will not intentionally erase your credit as an elf. I think my credibility should still be trusted. "
I nodded and said, "Lying elves are as rare as humans who don't lie, so I believe in your credibility. Then, please assign us a task."
"Okay, you guys come with me first, let's walk as we go."
Because our problem was solved, the person in charge of the reception did not delay anymore, but went out with the patriarch. When we went outside, we found that there were still a dozen armed elven swordsmen standing outside. And each of these swordsmen is obliquely inserted with a long battle wand, indicating that these elves are all senior staff of the magic martial arts.
After leaving the reception desk, we asked the patriarch to the main pipeline out of the island and asked, "Can you introduce your abilities and specialties first? I'll probably get to know them before I can arrange tasks for you."
Because we are now starting to do the task, neither of the two elves who showed us the way came. Let's see the patriarch whose task has been completed, so now only the three of us are following this elven patriarch. I first signaled Kristina, and then said: "This is Kristina, Elemental Mage, Specialist of Plasticity. She is called by others for her mobile turrets. She is particularly good at large-scale magic suppression and forbidden spells. The magical guidance of the first class can be regarded as a mage focusing on attack power. "
After listening to the Elf patriarch, he turned to Kristina and asked, "Can you tell me the strength of your magic?"
Chris Dinah nodded and held out a hand, and then saw her white light bulb suddenly above her palms without seeing what she did. When this light ball first appeared, it was as large as a glass marble, but immediately after it appeared, the light ball began to spin at a high speed, and then rotated with itself. Its volume is also increasing rapidly, and it took only two seconds to expand from a glass marble to a basketball. After this bright white ball of light appeared. Around it suddenly appeared ten light of cyan, red, light blue, dark blue, green, brown, purple, gold, black, and white, and these light all formed a circle around the large light ball in the center, and then together It starts to look cluttered around the big light sphere, but in fact it has a very regular orbital movement. From the outside, it looks like an enlarged model of the atom. The big light sphere in the center is the protons, and the outer high-speed rotations are electrons. .
Those who do n’t know how to look at this thing feel pretty beautiful at most, but those who know how to see this thing can see the terrible things.
The light ball in the center is a simple collection of elements without attributes, and the speed it generates is the speed at which Kristina is showing her magic power. Although the light ball looks the size of a basketball, its internal energy is highly compressed. After all, the power fluctuations emanating from it are simply thrilling. As long as someone who has a little impression of magic induction can judge how powerful Kristina is from magic. As for the small light outside the big light ball, this is Kristina's demonstrating her entire system of magic control ability. She can not only control multiple elements, but also allow them to appear at the same time. This is the most disturbing element of the teacher ’s distraction phenomenon that does not make sense to her. In addition, those small light rotate around the large light ball in the center at high speed without disturbing each other, which is a manifestation of magical control. These light spheres have different routes and different speeds, but they will not run together at such high speeds, which requires the mage to have super strong elemental control. In other words, this can no longer be called control, but an instinct. It's as if the cricket has so many legs, but it will not stump the left foot and the right foot. This is a kind of instinctual control. If a human is to control the cricket's body, no matter how seriously you operate, finally It is inevitable to step on yourself.
Chris Dina can control the light spheres like an arm, so she says that her position on the elements has entered an instinct. Such a mage does not need to recall magic spells, elements or anything in the battle, it is almost any magic. Magic has taken shape. This is a really powerful mage, because she can use magic as she moves her fingers.
The elf patriarch was almost surprised to see his chin fall off. Earlier, I and Persephone had released their power fluctuations. So the Elf patriarch knows that we are strong, but Kristina has not entered the elemental elf state and still maintains the basic form, so the magic fluctuations on her body are not very exaggerated, which makes the elf patriarch misjudge her strength.
"You are such a powerful mage? It seems that our affairs are much simpler this time!" The elf patriarch looked at me and asked, "Is the strength of both of you the same?"
I shook my head and said, "Porsecione is a protoss. You should have noticed this. Although not the protoss you are here, nor the goddess of the moon you believe in, she is a true goddess of spring. Therefore, her ability is closer to that of your elf-based plant mage, who can manipulate and spawn plants to fight. However, I think it is wasteful for her to fight. Porse Fournier is the most suitable position for healing. With her, you Casualties can drop by at least 80%. "
"You are indeed a protoss. It was really rude before." The Elf patriarch stopped and apologized to Persephone. Although Persephone is not the Protoss they believe in, they are after all the Protoss. You still need to be in awe of this identity. Besides, Persephone is the goddess of spring. This seat and the elves can be said to be in the right direction, so Persephone is easy to get the favor of the elf.
After introducing them, the Elf patriarch looked at me and asked, "It looks like you are their leader. I am curious to be the leader of a protoss and such a powerful mage. What kind of existence do you have? "
"My existence may be a bit out of step with your elf attributes. I have always been treated as a demon king!"
The Elf patriarch nodded and said, "I sense a powerful killing spirit and a strong dark breath from your strength. I even smell the smell of the undead. But it ’s strange. Generally this kind of existence exists with us It ’s an absolutely unwelcome existence, but you have a feeling of peace, and even a feeling of being close to you. This contrast is quite strange! We have never encountered such an existence before. . "
"I said, I was previously called the Demon King. My attributes are completely biased towards the dark system, and my relationship with most dark creatures has passed. The reason why you feel my affinity. Then It ’s because I ’m a dual existence. I have an independent soul and two bodies with completely opposite attributes. Now you see the existence of the dark system. If so, you may have no doubts.
I said Directly switched body image.
Although the attributes of my two accounts are now completely combined, I can still switch appearances, and my ability in different forms will also have a certain bias. When I switched to the Silvermoon form, the elf patriarch on the other side immediately exclaimed: "Are you a water-light dual system?"
I nodded and said, "In fact, there are also some fire and life systems, but in general, they are mainly water and light systems. But once they enter the attack mode, they will be completely converted to fire systems."
"No wonder I think that with such a strong affinity, all the attributes on you are the most affinity attributes for our elf, and the rarest thing is that the four-line attribute on you is actually a balanced circulation system, which is simply The perfect existence. It's so exciting! "
The elves' own attributes should actually be regarded as the composite attributes of the wood system and the life system, and the water system and the light system of my body all have a nourishing and soothing effect, which are the most needed attributes for the wood system and the life system. Let alone the energy of the life system, let alone one of the basic energy of the elven system. This fire system is not very useful to the elves, but it is an indispensable system, because the wood system cannot form a resource cycle if it has been growing, so the fire system has the meaning of destruction and rebirth to the wood system. Existence, and the fire system is the basis for maintaining the temperature. Whether it is the wood system or the life system, it still needs the temperature. Therefore, although the fire system is more harmful to the spirit, it is less and not. The fire system and other three The system is just in balance, so it has no side effects. It can also maintain the cycle of the other three lines, thus forming a stable cycle. It can be said to be endless.
After the Elf patriarch said, I asked, "Well, I don't know what trouble you are having this time? I have some deviations in my two physical attributes, so I need to decide which body to use for the task according to the situation."
"Actually this is the case ..."
The elven patriarch introduced a lot of content, and she introduced us to the cause and effect of this matter. After she finished, we have reached the army rejection point outside the city.
According to the introduction of the elf patriarch, I probably know what happened this time. Although this matter is complicated to say, it's all internal hidden feelings. What's more complicated, the surface event is quite simple. For our mission. A simple description is that a group of young elves in the elves have been captured, and our task is to find them and rescue them.
This task may sound like a search task, but it is actually a combat task, because the opponent is not a small team to catch people, but a rather large army. As for the identity of the other party ... it is actually an elf.
Our group is the forest elves among the natural elves, while the opposite enemy is the black elves from the underground world.
A common name for natural elves is white elves, and black elves and white elves happen to be two opposite beings. However, it may differ slightly from most people's guesses. White elves and black elves are not actually rivals. The relationship between the two should be said to be limited cooperation. If we quantify the relationship between them, it should actually be neutral and friendly. In other words, the two are not only enemies, they may also be closer.
I said earlier that the internal secrets of this mission are more complicated, because the relationship between the white elves and the black elves is not actually hostile. However, because of the contradiction between some individuals within the two families, this incident occurred. But a more serious problem is that there are two special existences among the captured white elves. One of them is the son of the elf patriarch around us. And is likely to become the next patriarch. The other was even more terrible. She is the princess of the Elven Empire in South America.
This time we are here is just the elven city, not the elven king. The elves use the city-state system in the management of the country. The highest leader in the city is called the patriarch, but in fact it can be the city owner, the grand duke or the king. The elven kings have dominion over these elven cities, but they cannot directly control them. The captured princess was the daughter of the elf queen over the eldest city's superior king. And that one is likely to be the next queen.
Such two existences were captured by the black elves, and the matter immediately escalated from a personal conflict to a diplomatic incident. And now both sides have become a state of tension. In fact, one of the elven patriarchs didn't make it clear to us that the two sides have not actually started a war. The reason for drawing so many troops is because neither side wants to fight. Everyone is piled up desperately, hoping to use their own strength to overwhelm the other party and soften the other party. Unfortunately, this confrontation will eventually make the atmosphere on both sides more tense, and the original small conflict has now evolved into a total war The possibility.
"It was such a thing?" After listening to the explanation of the elf patriarch, I have changed back to the purple sun form. This time, 80% of the mission requires cutting-edge combat power, so the image of Yinyue is useless. There are only three things that Silver Moon is best suited for: brushing favorability, healing, and the Holocaust. Now obviously these three are not very useful.
Cristina asked: "Now I don't want to fight on both sides, but it's such a situation. Can high-end force like ours really solve the problem? If the other party's spirit collapses, does the fighting break out directly? "
The Elf patriarch also said with some hesitation: "I also know that this is not right, but it is already the case now, and don't continue to pile up. Once the balance is broken, we will finally break out of war."
"Is it possible to use special means to rescue people before they say it?" Suddenly asked Persephone.
"We have thought about this, but it is not realistic to implement."
"Why?" Cristina asked in doubt.
The Elf patriarch reluctantly said: "This is also blame us. Because we have done this once before, so the other party has taken the hostages to the underground world and hid. We don't know where the other party hides the person now .It's hard to find them if you move quietly, but aggressive attack is not what we want. This is really difficult! "
"Actually, I think we are good at this," Cristina said suddenly.
The elf patriarch looked at us in wonder and asked, "Are you good at finding people?"
I nodded and said, "Tracking and infiltration are our specialties, and we have some small means to get those guards under the premise of not hurting people. This way, it should be better handled diplomatically. But before that I think you better tell us more about why they are catching your people? "
"This is just a personal grudge. I did n’t know exactly how the grievances came about. Anyway, there is a contradiction between a family of the black elves and a family of ours. Then the children of a family of ours are at I do n’t know how recently I knew that the opposite family had taken on an important task, to transport some things from the outside back to the king of the black elves. The children of this family on our side knew this and called my son And some of their playmates are going to disrupt the transport and then put the opposing family to shame and accept punishment. "
"Then they were arrested?" Cristina asked.
The elven patriarch shook his head: "They succeeded, but they did not expect that those materials were not simple things. Some of them are very important strategic materials, which are the key to the survival of the black elves."
"So this time they were offending the black elves," I said.
The Elf patriarch nodded and continued: "Indeed, for this reason, the opponent's Black Elf family was severely punished, and their family members therefore intended to retaliate against those who participated in the attack, but they did not expect that they were in the process of launching the attack. Our princess happened to be visiting the city. At that time, my son accompanied her and some playmates of the same age to play outside. As a result, they were robbed by the other party. Later, because the princess was robbed, things got worse. "
Persephone was puzzled and asked: "The other party didn't want to hijack the princess at the beginning. If you sent a diplomatic application at the time, supposedly they should release the princess?"
"It was originally like this, but unfortunately, the family on our side is in charge of diplomacy. It has been a long time since the people in the family and the other party have been out of sight, so the notification documents issued in the past are a bit ill. You know, The diplomatic attitude is very important. Of course, the other party can't lose face when they see such a document, so they refuse to return the princess. They also apologize on our side, and things get bigger. "
"It's really an oolong incident!" I sighed. Then he said: "We are probably clear. If you do n’t mind the patriarch, I think we better not take part in your positive actions. We intend to bypass the opposing army and try to rescue the princess and other people who have been arrested."
"But our relationship is already very tense, if you are found again ..."
"What if we were found?" Cristina asked with a smile and said, "Can the Black Elves start a war against the White Elves because a group of humans attacked them?"
The elf patriarch heard it for a while ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and then wanted to understand. "Yeah. You're not elves, as long as you don't say it yourself, who knows what you do? I'm really confused."
With the consent of the Elf patriarch, we then decided to start a rescue plan. Of course, some preparations must be made before the plan starts. The first is to have a map. The black elves live in the underground world. That place is a natural maze. Without maps, our mission time should be at least doubled. Fortunately, the relationship between the two families is still okay, so the map has everything and it is quite detailed.
After the map was completed, we got some personal belongings of the abducted people from here. Of course, these things were used as the basis for the smell. I said that I can find the other person mainly by Bailang's nose, so I must know the other person's scent before I can track.
After everything was ready, we decisively separated from the elf team, and now we have to clarify the relationship with the white elves, otherwise the action will become more difficult, or it will lead to war.
