Chapter 176 Branches
One day ago, north of the Elf Forest.
An invisible wall separates the north and south of the Elven Forest, creating two completely different atmospheres. On one side is a lively fairyland, and on the other side is a dark world shrouded in shadows.
The south faces the sun, while the north faces the shade, as if reflecting the unspeakable gap between the black and white elves.
On the lush tree that blocked out the sun, green leaves fell on the black-haired elf lying on the thick branches.
The next second, the green leaf burned itself out of thin air and turned into ashes in an instant.
"come out--"
A red fire suddenly lit up, and in the blink of an eye, it burned all the bushes not far away, leaving a charred ground.
Behind the tree that was swaying in the wind, Yu Jin walked out calmly.
He did not wear the monocle made by humans today, so his black eyes were completely exposed to the gaze of others.
Yu Jin had long been accustomed to the presence of lenses on his nose, and the sudden loss of this weight made him feel a subtle sense of weightlessness.
He suppressed his subconscious urge to reach out to hold the frame of his glasses, and smiled slightly at the black-haired elf who was still lying lazily.
"I know what you want to do, and I can help you."
Wu Yue sneered, "Little friend, it's good to be confident, but I don't have time to play house with you."
Yu Jin did not react to Wu Yue's contempt, and said calmly: "No matter whether the mother tree wakes up as expected, it is indeed a good choice to take action that night."
Wu Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, slowly straightened his body, and sat up with his back against the tree trunk.
"I've never seen you in the Elf Forest before. Are you the black elf who came back yesterday?" Wu Yue asked.
Yu Jin chuckled, but his handsome face showed a hint of gloom that was hard to conceal.
"No, I am not a dark elf," he answered. "I am a dark elf."
If the Black Elves were still considered an alternative species of Elves that the White Elves reluctantly accepted, then the Dark Elves were completely expelled from the Elven Forest and were not recognized as an existence. Most White Elves were eager to get rid of them.
Wu Yue's expression changed almost instantly. He carefully looked at the still immature elf in front of him, but no matter how he looked at it, he was just an ordinary black elf, without any trace of a dark elf at all.
"Aren't you afraid that I will expose your identity?"
Yu Jin shook his head and said firmly: "You can't expose me. I am just an ordinary black elf now. Do you want to stage a dog-eat-dog joke in front of them?"
The dark elves and the white elves hate each other, and the relationship between the black elves and the white elves is not much better and is equally tense.
"What is your purpose?" Wu Yue asked inquiringly.
"I've just said it, I know what you want to do, and I can help you."
Without waiting for Wu Yue to speak again, Yu Jin took out a glass bottle filled with golden liquid.
He walked back to the charred open space behind him and slowly poured the golden liquid onto the ground.
The golden flames suddenly leaped up and spread in all directions with unstoppable force, and it seemed that they were about to burn the surrounding area.
Wu Yue's pupils dilated as he stared closely at the bottle of golden solution in Yu Jin's hand.
Within the boundaries of the Elf Forest, the entire area is covered by the protection of the Mother Tree. No flames can burn anything here, let alone spread the fire.
Even Wu Yue had been expending his magic power to burn the bushes. As soon as the magic power was withdrawn, the flames went out immediately.
But the flames ignited by the golden liquid in front of him could actually ignore the protection of the mother tree and even spread outward!
Yu Jin then took out a bottle of silver solution and poured it on the flame. The flame, which was not very strong, was quickly brought under control and slowly extinguished.
Yu Jin raised his eyes to look at Wu Yue and said, "Since we are going to do it, we might as well do it big. Don't you want to completely reshuffle the elves?"
Wuyo's eyes deepened.
"Now, am I qualified to join you?"
…
…
"Of course, the elves won't let you pay in vain." Ta smiled.
He raised his hand slightly, and two medium-sized wooden boxes appeared in the air.
"Please accept it."
The wooden box opened with a sound, revealing a small, exquisite dark green bottle in one box, and a larger wooden box containing a branch that was translucent green.
"This is the item that Principal Braceside left with the elves many years ago. It is also what your letter mentioned. Please keep it."
The wooden box on the left floated towards Lu Yi.
"And this is a small gift prepared by the elves for you personally. I hope you will like it, Lu Yi."
"This is..." Lu Yi looked at the branch that looked extraordinary in appearance, and some guesses emerged in his mind.
"This is a branch that fell off naturally from the elf tree." replied the book elder.
[Wow, I didn't expect they would really spend so much money on this!] 857 smacked his lips.
【“What do you mean?”】 Lu Yi became interested after hearing that.
[Isn't this the ear branch of the Elf Mother Tree that Eris mentioned before! And the branch in this wooden box is not an ordinary branch, but a living branch of the Elf Mother Tree! Although it is not clear what its function is, the golden light radiating from it is already blinding my eyes! ]
[By analogy, the lowest level item is an S+ item, and it is a very rare type, the kind that costs hundreds of thousands of points to buy in a shopping mall.]
[“I decided to take back my previous shallow thoughts.”] Lu Yi changed his words instantly.
[“The elves are such a wonderful race! Look how generous they are to their friends!”]
As for all the busy work and careful calculations, that's just human nature!
The elves' gift strategy successfully pushed the harmonious atmosphere to the highest climax. The two elves and one person had an extremely pleasant conversation, which was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests. During the relaxed conversation, the two parties agreed to go to the elf tree together in the afternoon to check what was going on.
When the two elves were ready to leave, Lu Yi even packed some cookies for them to take away.
"This is just a small token of my appreciation." Lu Yi said sincerely, "Please don't refuse."
For the sake of the S+ level props, Lu Yi kindly reminded them one last time: "The ones wrapped with red ribbons are the normal cookies I made myself, and the ones wrapped with green ribbons are the strange cookies made by Saman. Don't mix them up."
"Okay!" Elder Shu took the paper bag of cookies with a smile, "You humans always have some wonderful ideas. I believe that the strange-flavored cookies may also give me a surprise."
"But I still believe that the cookies you make, Lu Yi, taste better."
Lu Yi smiled without saying anything, and watched the two elves leave with a smile.
[“Okay, now that I’ve cleaned up, the kitchen is much cleaner.”]
857 strongly condemned his behavior of cheating the elves, [The elves gave you small gifts, the elves are good! You gave the elves weird cookies, you are bad! ]
Lu Yi shrugged, "I have reminded them again and again, they will bear the consequences at their own risk."
After closing the door, Lu Yi's gaze fell back on the two wooden boxes on the table.
Lu Yi put the wooden box containing the small bottle into the space ring and carefully observed the branches of the elf tree in another wooden box.
This branch from the Elf Mother Tree is about 20 inches long, and is brown with a very moist green color. It doesn't look like a branch, but more like some strange chalcedony. The arc of the branch seems to have been carefully designed, and the direction of each vein is perfect. Three or five green leaves are dotted on it, like some kind of living elf.
[“…857, do you think it would be harmful if I picked two green leaves and ate them?”]
Are you serious?
[“Do I look like I’m joking?”]
Lu Yi raised his eyebrows, his eyes serious without any hint of teasing.
He even dared to drink the blood of gods, so the few elf leaves in front of him were nothing compared to him.
[Then I suggest you not to.] 857 said tiredly, [One less tablet is enough. If the effect is not good, it is just a small matter. If you have any problems after taking it, it will be a big trouble.]
When did its beautiful host turn into someone who only wants to put everything he sees into his mouth? !
【“Okay.”】Lu Yi said regretfully.
Lu Yi reached out and touched the soft little leaf, and couldn't help but gently pinch the blade of the little leaf.
He thought the small leaves looked delicious, like crunchy Gongcai. Wouldn't it be delicious if they were put in a duck roll?
Lu Yi withdrew his hand with regret and prepared to make himself some breakfast.
As soon as he took his hand off the leaf, there was another knock on the door.
Lu Yi turned abruptly as he was heading towards the kitchen.
This is the third time this morning, Lu Yi thought unhappily.
Does he have to eat this breakfast?
One by one, two people came, and they chose to come early in the morning. He wanted to see who was coming to see him now.
Lu Yi slowly opened the door with a false smile.
Outside the door, the Elf King was patting Xiao Yi's back in embarrassment, with tears in her eyes. As soon as Lu Yi opened the door, he immediately looked over.
"What happened?" It's only been a few minutes?
Ta replied somewhat awkwardly, "On the way back, Xiaoyi woke up and made a fuss about looking for you when he didn't see you."
Xiao Yi, with a red nose and tearful eyes, sobbed, "Papa, pa..."
The two elves, one big and one small, looked at Lu Yi eagerly, with "save me" almost written on their faces.
Seeing Ta's hesitant expression, Lu Yi said sympathetically, "We'll meet again in the afternoon anyway, so why don't you leave Xiaoyi with me for the time being?"
The Elf King suddenly felt relieved and immediately put the restless Xiaoyi in his arms into Lu Yi's arms.
He also handed Lu Yi a space ring inlaid with emeralds and said, "Xiaoyi's things are all here. There is also Ye Ling who contacts me and Elder Shu. If you have any questions, you can ask us at any time."
With such a smooth set of actions, it is hard to say that they were not planned in advance.
Lu Yi gently patted Xiao Yi who had stopped sobbing and nodded to the tower, saying, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Xiao Yi."
"See you this afternoon then."
"See you this afternoon."
The author has something to say:
Sorry, sorry, something unexpected happened in the three-dimensional world (kneel down gently)
