A construction-crazed girl who had just maxed out her infrastructure game suddenly found herself pulled into another world with her max-level skills. She landed in a desolate, sparsely populated to...
Chapter 110
===================
Lian Yun and Lan Na looked at each other. Since the matter was urgent, they decided to go with him first.
Ian led the two to the door. Seeing so many people under the tree house, he slapped his head in frustration and said, "Look, I completely forgot. We can't go through the front door."
He turned and walked towards Lina's room. "The Queen told me before I left that there is a secret passage in Her Royal Highness's room."
Like other royal families, the elven royal family inevitably has to keep a backup plan where they live.
Lian Yun looked back worriedly, only to see Lina secretly looking at him and nodding slightly, indicating that she was fine.
The little girl's unusually resolute expression made her straighten her face.
Ian led them to open the secret passage connected to the tree trunk, which was large enough for two people to pass side by side.
Although it was called a secret passage, there were actually glowing mushrooms growing on the dense tree wall, which reminded Lian Yun of the little black chicken and the glowing colorful mushrooms he met when he just passed through the poisonous fog.
Ian's voice quickly brought her back to reality: "Don't blame the Queen. She's been busy dealing with this matter since early morning. I only discovered it when I went to report it."
He was a little incoherent.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't expect so many things to happen so early in the morning! I've studied hard to handle these emergencies, but..."
Lian Yun could understand it when he thought about his identity.
Public servants who do not have work on a daily basis are suddenly assigned exciting and extremely important tasks, and what is even more frightening is that these tasks happen at the same time.
However, Ian couldn't accept that he had been looking forward to a busy job, but when it really got busy, he was actually not up to the task.
Lian Yun: "I don't blame you. This is your first time facing something like this, so how could you possibly get the hang of it so easily? Just try it a few more times..."
“…It’s better not to do this kind of thing too often.”
Lian Yun silently changed his tone.
After all, Ian is quite skilled in organizing other things on weekdays, so it’s better not to experience such negative things again.
"But do you know who spread those rumors?"
Ian was also confused: "I don't know..."
Lian Yun pursed his lips.
Ian glanced at her hesitation and suddenly shook his head: "You don't think it's Miao An, do you?"
Lian Yun raised his eyebrows slightly.
Isn’t it?
Ian's expression was very serious. "I don't think he did anything stupid last night. He actually contradicted Her Majesty the Queen to her face. But he's usually the one who listens to Her Majesty's opinions the most. Even if he doesn't agree, he still listens."
"Especially last night. I heard that he never came out of the tree house after returning. He must have been thinking about this matter carefully. He was also by the Queen's side this morning."
"Besides..." Ian's expression was a little strange. "We actually grew up together. He did embarrass you yesterday, but he's used to talking to your face, even to me... I don't think he's the kind of person who spreads rumors behind your back."
Lian Yun's expression now became a little subtle.
Is it the same for him?
If Lian Yun understood correctly, Miao An had once mocked Ian in person?
And even so, Ian was still speaking for Mu An.
It's really a stupid kindness.
Ian is not stupid. The reason why he hesitated to express his thoughts is that he naturally knows what they will think of him after listening to him.
Even so, he bit his lip and said, "If possible, I also hope that you can take Miao An with you when you leave..."
"He's very different from us. I think his current life is good enough, but he's more suited to going out and exploring, as the Queen said. He's more suited to the world you've described: vast and dangerous, but full of opportunities."
The three of them gradually returned to silence. Lian Yun was once again shocked by their thoughts, while Lanaze was thinking about the credibility of Ian's words.
"We're just ahead." Ian quickened the pace of the two of them, and soon they saw a door.
The last section of the road was dark. As they walked forward, Lian Yun reached out and touched it. It was uneven and rough, a bit like...
vines.
Sure enough, the next moment, the thick vines that felt the touch slowly retracted their vines to both sides, and the light from outside slowly poured in. After a while, a road appeared in front of the three of them.
The green path is just as it was yesterday.
Following the path, they soon saw the Tree of Life again, and the Elf Queen with anxious eyes standing before it.
The Tree of Life certainly didn't look very good. The lush green branches and leaves that once covered the sky had turned scorched and dry overnight; the thick bark had also begun to fall off.
Just then, a gust of wind blew over, and the branch above Lian Yun's head was easily blown down and hit the ground.
The Tree of Life is withering at a slow but visible rate!
"You're here!" Miao An noticed them and walked over more eagerly than the queen.
"What's going on? Didn't we just contact the Tree of Life? Why..."
"Get out of the way." Lana was very dissatisfied with his tone, and stood in front of Lian Yun with a cold look in his eyes.
Miao An couldn't help but shut up when he was looked at, but he still looked at Lian Yun with a look of dissatisfaction.
The queen also took a few steps towards them, her furrowed brow revealing the unclear situation.
"I know the withering of the Tree of Life has nothing to do with you. But it concerns the very backbone of the entire elf race. If something like this were to happen right after I made my decision, the elves would surely think it was a denial of my decision by the heavens."
The Queen paused, her tone tinged with condescending apology. "I only just learned about what happened over there because Ian told me. Don't worry, I've already sent someone to investigate, and I'll definitely find the mastermind behind this for you."
Miao An, who had just shut up, now walked over uncomfortably: "It's not me."
Lian Yun paid attention to his expression.
In her opinion, Miao An's actions were indeed those of a child who was only interested in gaining attention and love.
It is indeed impossible to do those things.
Lian Yun collected his thoughts and quickly walked towards the Tree of Life.
Stroking the rough tree trunk, Lian Yun gently closed his eyes, held his breath and concentrated, trying to feel the invisible connection.
However, the Tree of Life did not respond.
It's like an ordinary tree, without any spiritual energy.
It seems to be another dead end.
Experiencing this situation again, Lian Yun almost immediately remembered the new skills he had unlocked in the morning.
Lian Yun quickly clicked on the skill column, looked at the explanation of the [Induced Birth] skill, thought about it, and decided to give it a try.
"grown ups!"
"elder sister!"
Following the call from the person behind him, Lian Yun relied on his remaining consciousness and felt as if all his strength had been drained away as he fell backwards.
This time she felt unusually relieved.
It worked.
“…”
"You're here."
Lian Yun heard a familiar voice like yesterday. She wanted to open her eyes, but she couldn't.
The calls in her ears continued, but except for not being able to feel their touch, she could sense everything around her.
The fragrance of flowers and shouts.
And she couldn't control her body.
“…What’s going on?”
She tried hard many times and finally made the system hear her voice.
The system sighed and said, "I know your situation must be very embarrassing. I don't know what happened, but I suddenly received a huge amount of energy yesterday."
According to it, it was planning to take a nap last night when suddenly an energy ball invisible to the naked eye slid down from the distant sky and landed accurately on its head.
This energy seemed to be no different from his own energy and quickly merged into its body.
"If only it were the old me..." The system sounded very resentful.
Because it usually remains in a state of maintaining life with low energy, just like a person who has been hungry for a long time is suddenly forced to have a big meal.
Your belly will burst.
The manifestation of this on the Tree of Life is that it begins to wither.
Lian Yun was a little anxious: "Are you going to die?"
"Pah, pah, pah, what are you talking about!" The system was dissatisfied. "I just need some time to digest it."
Lian Yun breathed a sigh of relief: "So, did my new skills work on you?"
The system was stunned: "What skill?"
Lian Yun was also stunned.
So the skills she used with such determination and energy were useless?
She patiently explained, and after hearing what she said, the system suddenly became extremely excited.
"I did feel a subtle energy. I thought it was you using the Living Soul Skill."
"Although this is useless, it will be of great use later!"
Lian Yun was full of suspicion: "?"
The system chuckled twice. "Like I said, I'll get used to it after this difficult absorption phase is over. Do you know what plant rebirth is?"
Lian Yun: “Oh…”
System: Hehe!
"You're going to have a baby!"
System: "...While that's true, for plants, it should be called seed production!"
"I will produce a new seed later, and I will enter it, and then you can take it away..."
"Wait!" Lian Yun's words became more and more outrageous. "Are you kidding me? You are the guardian of the Tree of Life and the encyclopedia. If I were to tell you that I'm going to take you away as a newborn, you'd never be able to leave the Elf Forest!"
"..." The Tree of Life seemed to have just realized this problem. "Then I will leave some energy in the Tree of Life."
When it found this carrier, the tree was already very old. It relied on its energy to grow luxuriantly. If it left suddenly, the tree would surely wither.
Anyway, it has enough energy now, so just leave some here for now.
"It's just that I can't keep it for too long. If my energy is split for too long, it will weaken my strength. But don't worry, I will get it back one day..."
Lian Yun was silent for a moment.
In fact, apart from anything else, even if she just wanted to take the seeds away, it would probably be difficult for her to do it.
But she asked another question: "Why do you have to go with me?"
It is clearly known that splitting energy will not benefit it.
The system suddenly became serious.
"You're so stupid."
"Same energy. Can you think of another source?"
