Chapter 104

===================

"you……"

For the first time, signs of cracks appeared on the queen's expressionless face.

What did she call herself just now?

Small, ice, block?

How many years has it been since she heard this name?

Lian Yun noticed her expression, suppressed a smile, and nodded seriously: "I'm only responsible for conveying it. I don't know why it called you that."

The queen came to her senses and slowly accepted the fact that Lian Yun was really connected with the Tree of Life.

No matter what, the Tree of Life is still there and can still communicate with people, which is definitely something to be thankful for.

"It allows you to make the right choice... If you're determined, I'll talk to it again."

The Queen was silent for a few moments before she slowly spoke, "Again? How long has it been?"

This time the doubt is pure, without any suspicion.

Lian Yun thought about the system's words and said seriously, "Any time."

"If you think about it now, I can tell it the answer now."

She had originally thought that it would be impossible to communicate with a plant of unknown level like the Tree of Life without a skill cooldown period of ten days or half a month.

But after hearing Lian Yun's current progress, the system was willing to consume its own energy to give Lian Yun a second chance to talk.

"However, this is only my second attempt. If you've thought this through, please also summarize the questions you've accumulated over the years. Otherwise, I don't know when we'll be able to talk again."

This is also what the system told her.

After supporting the second conversation for a short time, the system energy will be greatly consumed and then continue to fall into hibernation.

As for the second time, Lian Yun had no idea what it was planning.

The queen looked at Lian Yun in a daze.

These two contacts in such a short time were unprecedented even among the elven royal family.

What is the identity of this girl?

She silently repeated the words that the Tree of Life asked Lian Yun to bring to her.

Make the right choice…

Lian Yun looked back without hesitation.

Lian Yun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the queen's thoughtful expression.

It's stable.

As expected, after a while, the female king and the others offered their hands to make way for them: "Thank you for your hard work, take a break."

She shifted her gaze to Lian Yun and nodded gently: "If possible, can we meet again in the evening?"

"It's my great honor." Lian Yun replied with a faint smile.

The queen manipulated the vines to move aside, revealing an exit in the other direction opposite the entrance.

As soon as the road was opened, all kinds of sounds rushed in and the surroundings suddenly became lively.

"Go inside and you will find the gathering place of the elves. Most of the elves live here. If you go out from this side, someone will lead you."

After saying this, the Elf Queen touched Lina's hair and told her that after visiting her in the evening, she returned the same way with a heavy heart.

Lina turned her head and met Lanna's expression of wanting to say something but not saying it. She understood and looked up at Lian Yun: "Sister, are you okay? What happened just now?"

""

"Sister scared us just now." Lina affectionately put her arm around Lian Yun and rocked it gently.

Lian Yun knew of course. When she first woke up and saw Lana's eyes, she thought she was dead.

Lian Yun smiled and said, "Even if this trip ends here, it can be considered a great achievement."

Lina was full of curiosity: "What's the harvest?"

That’s a lot.

Lian Yun thought to himself.

Like the Queen's childhood nickname, the various plants in the forest that can be utilized, and... new directions.

Lian Yun winked at her mysteriously: "Do you want to go see the sea?"

Lina was stunned for a moment, then jumped up happily: "Are we going to see the sea?! I've never seen it before!"

Lanna was also stunned when he heard this. His attitude was unclear, but he still asked rationally, "Sir, are you still going to the sea?"

After Lina's joy faded, she also had the same worry: "It is said that mermaids are even harder to talk to than elves."

Luo, who was standing by, heard this and nodded silently.

The elves gave them the opportunity to speak because, after all, they had the relationship with Lina and the step-by-step guidance of the mission. More importantly, they first found a way to pass through the fog.

This is one of the reasons why no one has ever entered the forest in all these years.

And even if someone dared to muster up the courage to step into the forest, without the help of the elves, they would not survive even if they passed through the fog.

As for the mermaids, they had no missions, no acquaintances, and they had no idea how to reach the sea.

I also heard that the mermaids' attitude towards humans is much tougher than that of the elves.

Lina tangled her fingers in her clothes and asked tentatively, “Shall I ask my grandmother later?”

From what my grandmother said just now, she at least had contact with the mermaids before. Even if she was unwilling to help, they could still learn something about mermaids from her.

This is what Lina thought. Although Sister Lian Yun can now contact the Tree of Life, the Queen's attitude is still not clear enough, and no one knows what decision the elves will make in the end.

However, the only thing Lian Yun can be sure of is that this matter does not necessarily require a decisive answer. The elves have many options, but the prerequisite is that the Elf Queen and the Elf Clan are willing to trust Lian Yun and the town.

The attitude the Queen is about to show will represent everything.

Several people walked along the green path with their thoughts on their minds. Although the matter had not been resolved yet, it was much clearer than when they came, and their mood could not help but improve.

When we were halfway along the path, we saw a few lithe figures walking towards us. They were the guides of the elves.

They are much more stable than Aning before. I don’t know if it’s because of their age or because they know Lina’s identity.

Although Lian Yun and his companions were guests, after learning that elves generally lived long lives, they constantly felt that the elves they met might be hidden centenarians...

"Dear guests, we are taking you to the tree house." There were four elves in total, with pretty faces and cheerful voices.

They nodded slightly to Lian Yun and the others, then looked at Lina, their expressions suddenly becoming serious.

"Our princess, please come with us."

Lina was caught off guard and received a huge gift from the four elves.

Lina waved her hands helplessly: "I... don't need this!"

The four elves shook their heads solemnly: "We need it."

After saying that, several elves turned around and began to lead the way.

Lina breathed a sigh of relief and muttered softly: "It's okay, it's just a greeting..."

The elf quickly led them out of the path, and the trees on both sides suddenly disappeared, and the space in front suddenly became spacious.

This is a forest that stretches as far as the eye can see. There is enough distance between trees to prevent their branches from fighting each other.

The leaves, trunks and colors of these trees are different. Lian Yun can recognize maple trees, willow trees, pine trees, as well as apples, pears and other fruit trees. But no matter what kind of tree it is, they all have one thing in common - the trunks are very thick.

Thick enough to add another room and put three tree houses on top.

However, according to the queen, the elves are not very numerous, so two tree houses are more than enough on one tree, which is neither crowded nor deserted.

Under some trees are various flowers and plants, and under some are fields where various vegetables are grown.

Before Lian Yun and the others could see clearly, the originally silent forest suddenly erupted in cheers.

In an instant, countless elves jumped down lightly from the trees. They held various kinds of flowers in their hands and were decorated extremely beautifully. They crowded around Lina and others, and handed the bouquets in their hands to Lina eagerly.

"Princess!"

"Princess!!"

They were calling out Lina's identity, either whispering or shouting.

Although it was their first meeting, Lian Yun saw the genuine warmth in their eyes, which made her feel like she had accidentally walked into a celebrity meet-and-greet...

Lina: “……!”

Lina prides herself on being a warm and outgoing person, but this is the first time she has seen such a scene.

The little girl couldn't help but grab Lian Yun's hand. The latter sensed her nervousness and gently held her hand back.

The four elves leading the way seemed to have not expected this situation at all, and were a little at a loss for a moment. Seeing them crowding up, they had to instinctively take a few steps back.

But it exposes the person behind him.

Lian Yun unnoticeably blocked the crowd that was rushing over for Lina. Lana almost drew his sword, but was held back by Lian Yun.

She cleared her throat and said loudly, "Everyone, be quiet!"

However, no elves listened to her words. They all seemed to want to touch the noble little princess who had suddenly appeared. The elves crowded in the front stretched out their arms and desperately handed the garland to Lina, their eyes full of enthusiasm: "Princess! Princess! Please accept it. I will personally weave it for you..."

Before Lina could raise her head to see what Lian Yun meant, she was pushed by someone coming up from behind and almost fell down.

Lian Yun held Lina, his expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Lanna."

Lanna was supporting the invisible Luo and didn't notice it for a moment.

Seeing that someone really dared to rush up and attack, after confirming that the adults were not injured, he drew out his sword and slashed it in the air. A sharp sword energy passed by everyone's faces. The elves behind dared not move anymore and couldn't wait to step back a few steps.

With the open space, Luo stood firm tactfully and made room for Lanna.

Lanna held the sword in one hand, pointing it slightly at the ground, his face expression cold: "How rude."

This sentence made the already stunned crowd dare not utter a word.

The enthusiasm just now has faded a lot, and there is even a bit of fear.

"You! How could you…"

The elf, who was being coldly watched, crossed his arms and tried to retreat, shouting as he retreated: "I just wanted to give the princess a wreath! How could you pick up a weapon!"

Lian Yun frowned.

She clearly didn't see anything in his hand just now!

Lian Yun glanced around and noticed that everyone's eyes were slowly changing.

She suddenly shouted: "Lina! What's wrong with you!"

Lina was suddenly covered by Lian Yun's arm, which was the arm that had just been pushed.

Lina understood, looked up at Lian Yun, bit her lower lip, and shook her head gently: "I bumped into you just now."

"But...it doesn't matter. I don't think this uncle did it on purpose."

Lina's clear eyes, tinged with a hint of hurt yet feigning strength, quickly captured the hearts of the elves in the front row. The elves who had gathered in the front row hurriedly apologized, "Sorry! Sorry! We were too reckless..."

"After all! Everyone is so excited to meet the new princess." Suddenly, a voice sounded in the crowd.

He seemed to be of some status. As soon as his voice came out, everyone looked at him and made way for him.

He was different from the elves around him who were dressed in colorful clothes. He looked very similar to the Elf Queen, wearing a silver robe and had short silver hair, but his skin was much darker and his eyes were light brown.

His voice was soft and pleasant, but for some reason, it made people feel a little uncomfortable.

He slowly walked through the crowd and came in front of a few people.

Lian Yun discovered that even his slow movements were exactly the same as the queen's.

"Everyone wants to see what this mixed-race princess who has never appeared and was raised outside looks like."

His gaze fell on Lanna's sword, a smile in his eyes unclear: "Looking at it this way, they are indeed quite different from us ordinary elves."

What are you talking about?

Lian Yun narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Who are you?" Lina asked, tilting her head slightly.

"Miao An." The young man raised the corners of his lips slightly.

Myuu…?

Lian Yun: "You and Miao..."

"It has nothing to do with it, but His Royal Highness has always been my target." Miao An seemed to have known what she was going to ask, and answered quickly before she finished speaking.

Miao An's light brown eyes radiated an unfathomable smile. "And... before the princess returned, I was helping Her Majesty the Queen deal with various matters concerning the elves."

……I see.

"I wanted to hold a welcoming ceremony for the new princess. After all, I heard that's what people do outside." Miao An looked extremely apologetic. "I'm sorry, it seems I didn't do it well."

He looked at the ground, especially the various wreaths that had been squeezed off at Lina's feet, and his expression was very hurt: "These are all the thoughtful gifts from everyone... How could this happen?"

Everything seemed to have been planned in advance and happened so quickly that they didn't even have room to think.

The elves in the front row were close by, knowing the little princess had no intention of blaming them. They also sensed something was amiss in the atmosphere and looked towards Lian Yun and Lan Na, hoping they could speak up for the little princess.

But apart from them, most people felt vaguely sad because of Miao An's words.

"It doesn't matter."

Lina suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.

She walked forward a few steps, picked up a wreath that had just been pushed, gently brushed off the dust on it, blew on it a few times, and finally put it on her head.

She smiled sweetly, touched the wreath on her head, and said to the elf in the front row who had been very enthusiastic just now: "Does it look good?"

The elf being questioned was startled. That was the wreath he had just handed over!

"It looks good!" He nodded vigorously, his eyes almost filled with tears.

The little princess wore the wreath he gave her!

And he didn't mind that it just fell to the ground!

The elves suddenly felt relieved. It seemed that the little princess was still very friendly!

Miao An's expression suddenly changed, but he quickly hid it: "Who pushed the little princess just now? The little princess is so fragile, what if..."

"I'm fine." Lina interrupted him as if she didn't feel anything.

She smiled gently at everyone: "I know, you didn't mean it. You guys are really so enthusiastic!"

Lina glanced at Miao An vaguely, raised her right hand, and smiled sweetly: "It doesn't matter if I get hurt a little. After all, I have the blood of the elven royal family and have the ability to heal myself."
