Vol 2 Chapter 44: Elves in the cloud crown tree (below)

Cautiously crossed the threshold, the little wizard holding the door handle in his right hand widened his eyes, and his eyes kept glancing back and forth with a familiar color flashing between his pupils.
The exquisite and extremely quiet long house, only a few slender elves in robes come and go. On the surrounding shelves were the materials that had just been picked, and dewdrops of morning fog could be seen on it; a young female elf knelt beside the boiling crucible and stirred it carefully with a long spoon.
The strong flavor of medicine, fresh raw materials, all kinds of alchemy materials ... Ayn Rand almost thought that he had returned to Wimpar College and was in a laboratory in the castle.
And just outside the long house, there are large and exquisite gardens, and many plants that Ain has not seen have thrived in it, and there is a wooden sculpture resembling an hourglass not far away. Vines and flowers surround it.
"This is the most important place in the entire Morning Star Forest, the horoscope."
Walked in with the little wizard and there was also an elf elder, the one who was choked by Loren twice. The old man's expression at this moment was not as serious as that day, but he introduced Ai Yin very enthusiastically.
"Our settlement, even many of the sages around it, are here to make soups to get rid of the pain, delve into the knowledge of nature, study the secrets of the stars. Then pass this knowledge to the next generation of sages to lead Settled children, let them go the right way. "
The elder elder's smile was extremely kind, and his soft eyes looked at the little wizard who had been completely intoxicated, as if he were an old man with his grandchildren.
Although only a few days of contact, Ain Rand has no desires and desires. The simple character does arouse the old man's favor. The pure kindness is definitely more sincere than a dark-haired wizard.
When I learned that the little wizard was still an alchemist, the elves were more fond of her. Among the elves' settlements, only the sages of the settlements had the ability to refining pharmaceuticals and judge the weather by observing the astrology. Them. And these sages are very rare no matter where they are.
Although is very young and looks a little too simple, there are still many elves who regard the little wizard as a sage. Even if she is still a bit wary of her human identity, at least she shows great respect.
For this reason, when Ain took the initiative to help the elves of Morning Star Forest to make medicine and some simple alchemy items, the elf elder immediately agreed to the request and brought her here.
By contrast, the idea of ​​the little wizard was simpler-she knew very well that Loren ’s purpose here was to fight for the friendship of the elves and make them believe in themselves.
Since this is the case, if you can do your part to win the respect and goodwill of these elves, you can make this mission easier.
Although Loren did not speak, Ain decided to do so. She didn't want to just follow this big liar, but she didn't do anything, but just as a burden; she wanted to prove that she could stand alone and fight alongside him.
Since he is destined not to help him in battle, he can only do what he is good at—although the little wizard is specialized in alchemy, he has also been exposed to herbalism and has a fairly high level of attainment.
"If you need anything, please let us know." The very enthusiastic elf elders smiled very kindly: "For the friends who really help us, the elves of Morning Star Forest have always been generous and enthusiastic."
"You are so polite." The little wizard only had a little time to thank, and immediately began work-skillfully set up the crucible, opened the notes and potions catalog brought with him on the table, smooth and clean The little hand picked herbs on the wooden stand.
It was not until this step that the elf elder finally completely believed that the
witcher
was really proficient in herbal medicine, not a lie to gain their trust, and then he relaxed his last alert and smiled and turned to leave.
"Uh ... Your Excellency!" Before waiting for him to go out, Ai Yin shouted at him from behind, and there was some support in his discourse: "No, sorry ..."
"Just call me Born. If you don't mind, you can call me Grandpa Born ... all the children in the settlement call it, even though I'm not that old." The easy-going kid made the old man kind. He said: "Is there anything else?"
"It's like this ..." Somewhat awkward Ain pointed to various herbs on the wooden shelf: "There are too many herbs that I haven't seen before, I don't know what to do ..."
"Oh, look at me confused, how can I make the guests encounter this kind of problem!" The old man shook his head and came forward with a cane with a wry smile: "If you don't know anything, just ask me directly-Lao Bo Eun is not a sage, but at least these herbs are known. "
"Also, if you can ..." The embarrassed little wizard, who had a little more cheeks on his cheeks, talked eloquently: "Can you also teach me some potion recipes for elves-just curious, if not too expensive, don't use it ! "
The elder elder who had just been puzzled suddenly laughed and shook his head to relieve Ain: "It's nothing. If you really want to learn, we can't ask for it. After all, the invasion of the ogres will come soon. If there are enough potions, more soldiers will not have to be sacrificed in vain. "
"Ah ... ah! Yes, that's it!"
The little wizard who was dumbfounded for a second hurriedly replied, lest the other party find out that he did n’t even think of this at all. At this moment, Ain Rand only had to help Loren to complete the task and satisfy him in his mind. As the wizard's endless curiosity of knowledge only.
Is in a huge natural treasure trove of ancient wood forest. Of course, the elves have a lot of very special potion recipes, and many even Ain has never heard of it.
As the elf elder slowly spoke, it seemed as if a huge picture opened in front of the little wizard. The only pity is that because many materials only grow in ancient wood forests, these formulas are probably not very useful after leaving the elven land.
While studying at Ain, while firing medicine under the guidance of Elder Born, a familiar female elf suddenly rushed into the astrological place:
"Where is that crow's mouth? Call him out!"
Raven mouth? The stunned little wizard was staring blankly at the person who came to see her-she was still somewhat fond of this Liya who had protected herself ~ EbookFREE.me ~. But I don't know why every time she saw the other person's appearance and figure, she couldn't really like the female elf.
"Liya, pay attention to your words!" Elder Boyne stood up immediately, propped his cane to the female elf's eyebrows, and said: "See clearly where you are now, is it a place where you can have no scruples?"
"Not to mention there are guests here, don't be like wild children without education, you are a war dancer!"
After reprimanding a few words, the old man slowly lowered his head with satisfaction after seeing the other party finally admit that he was wrong. "What exactly happened, make it clear."
"The big tree wall is in trouble, just now." Liya, still wearing sweat beads on her forehead, was still breathing slightly, with a trace of trembling in her calm voice: "A tree close to the nearest to Morning Star Forest collapsed. Now! "
"what?!"
Elder Born was finally unable to calm down, his face was full of horror, he stumbled a few times, and almost fell: "How, how can this be ?!"
"I don't know, I rushed back as soon as I got the news." Liya looked calmly at the elders: "No matter what the reason is, you must close the gap as soon as possible, otherwise there will be a continuous flow of monsters over the tree. Wall! "
"So, what should I do, how can I block the gap in the big tree wall?"
"That's what happened afterwards, and we must make a decision now." A crow mouth was scolded again in my heart. The female elf's eyes were serious and abnormal:
"Let's delay, we will have no time!"
