Chapter 179 Action
When leaving the Elf Mother Tree area, Lu Yi was still blindfolded and was led out by the tower.
He was unable to persuade the two elves who were determined, and was finally taken to the residence of the Life Elder.
After Elder Ming learned the whole story, he was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out. His gray eyebrows were raised high, and his eagle eyes stared at Lu Yi intently, circling around him two or three times before finally stopping.
This old man looked mysterious, and it seemed that he was more good at prediction than healing.
"How is he?" Tower inquired.
Elder Ming looked up at him, as if wondering about Ta's concern for Lu Yi.
Lu Yi was not sure, but they, the elders with long service, were very aware that the Elf King disliked the human race.
Although Lu Yi didn't look like a human, although a replica elf cub popped out, and although Lu Yi also awakened the sleeping mother tree...
Well, but this shouldn't be a reason for the Elf King to treat him differently! The life elder thought.
"Excellent," Ming replied, "He is now healthy and strong enough to kill an elk with his bare hands, without using any magic!"
"If you hadn't insisted that he might have suffered some subcutaneous injuries, I would have thought that you had given him some strong medicine and deliberately tricked me."
As Elder Ming spoke, he kept teasing Xiaoyi on top of Lu Yi's head.
You know what, these two blonde, blue-eyed babies, one big and one small, are really adorable!
Elder Shu said in disbelief: "How is it possible? I saw with my own eyes that all his magic power was drained away by the mother tree!"
Judging from the huge battle just now, not to mention the magic power, even the blood and flesh would be drained! In Shu's eyes, Lu Yi was able to come out alive, which was a miracle favored by the gods!
How is it possible that he wasn't hurt at all?
"Why would I lie to you? Besides, it's ok for me to lie to you, but how could I possibly lie to Your Majesty?" Elder Ming explained impatiently.
"In his condition, don't even think about asking me to find a life-saving potion. Even the most common potion with a bonus effect can make his nose bleed. It's really unnecessary. It won't do anything other than waste the potion."
Elder Ming spoke to Elder Shu, then changed his expression when he turned to face Lu Yi.
He tried to put on a kind smile and whispered softly, "Lu Yi, don't worry. I promise you, nothing will happen after you get a good night's sleep tomorrow!"
"Okay, thank you Elder Ming." Lu Yi replied obediently.
Only the person who has the body knows.
As for worrying? He was probably the least worried one in the room! Lu Yi thought.
The book elder on the side was still skeptical and couldn't help but grab the life elder and interrogate him in detail, fearing that he might make a mistake due to his carelessness.
"Oh! You're just thinking too much! You must have checked Lu Yi's condition yourself, right? You can doubt yourself, but don't doubt me!"
Elder Ming was so annoyed that he pulled Shu's shoulder and said, "Go! Go! Go! Can't you see they have already walked five miles?!"
The elder Shu woke up as if from a dream, and found that the man, the elf and the cub behind him had already gone far away.
Seeing that they had gone far away, Elder Shu tactfully did not follow them, but turned around and faced Elder Ming.
"I have a few theories I'd like to discuss with you."
Elder Ming collapsed and covered his ears, angrily saying: "My predictions are not as accurate as yours, why are you looking for me?! Didn't your majesty reject your previous application to swap positions with you? What are you doing to humiliate me!"
"You go——"
…
That night.
The Elf King and a group of elders stood in front of the mother tree.
"It seems that your predictions have failed again this time." Ling teased, "Since your talent was revealed, your predictions have never failed. The only few times you failed were all due to the revival of the mother tree, right?"
Shu's expression was subtle. "I never dared to call it a prophecy. It was just a possible guess."
In the entire Isaiah continent, there are only one or two people who can be called prophets. The rest can only roughly speculate on the possibilities of the future, such as the book elder of the elves and the human cardinal Goode.
Ling patted his shoulder and said comfortingly: "Come on, we have known each other for many years, how could I not understand you? Since the mother tree can wake up, there is no need to worry about the other things!"
The life elder said quietly behind them: "If you really mind, it's not impossible to switch with me."
Ling immediately added: "If he dares to trade with you, I won't even dare to watch!"
God of Light, when he was a young man and not yet an elder, the first prediction he inspired was "the fall of the God of Light"!
The still young life at that time fell directly to the ground, legs trembling, and words came out one by one tremblingly.
When the elves who were watching heard his prediction, they were almost scared to death and knelt down, fearing that the gods would be angry with them.
Such rebellious predictions nailed the talent of predicting fate to the pillar of shame almost from the very beginning.
No matter how sincere his love and amazing talent for predictions are, his predictions cannot be regarded as "prophecies" like those of Elder Shu.
Elder Ming was so heartbroken by Elder Ling's criticism that he stopped talking. He only said weakly, "That's all I have to say!"
Although the mother tree has awakened early, the necessary awakening ceremony is still necessary.
After all, this is not only about the life cycle of the Elf Forest, but also about the magic and lifespan of all elves.
This is a grand blessing ceremony that only elves are qualified to participate in.
"...Anyway, as long as the awakening ceremony can go smoothly, it will be fine."
If Lu Yi was present, he would surely have said in his mind that the flag had been set, but unfortunately Lu Yi was still sleeping soundly on the soft bed at this time. The elf elders in the field just nodded slightly, silently agreeing with the words of the Life Elder.
Only the Elf King Tower standing at the very end frowned inexplicably, and subconsciously looked up at the Elf Mother Tree behind him.
"How long is it until the original plan?" Ta asked with a sidelong glance.
Elder Shu looked at the full moon hanging high in the sky and replied, "Five more minutes."
Tower's attention was drawn to the group of dark elves in the corner.
They stood in the innermost circle of the mother tree, and the outer circle was filled with crowded elves.
Among the white elves with light hair, the outermost black elves with dark hair looked particularly inconspicuous. Their dark eyes and hair blended into the night, and they were as silent as the shadows of the light elves.
Ta frowned slightly and asked in a low voice: "Are all the elves here?"
The elder understood his implication and replied, "All the elves are here."
"No, there is another one." Elder Ling suddenly shook his head, "It's the one who just came back a few days ago, the black elf who grew up among the human race."
"He has never been blessed by the Mother Tree, and I am afraid he cannot bear it, so I did not call him here. I told you about this yesterday, Your Majesty."
"good."
"There are only three minutes left, Your Majesty." Elder Shu said softly, "Please prepare to ask for the Mother Tree's blessing."
Ta nodded, his eyes drifting away unconsciously.
The uneasiness in his heart never dissipated, and even continued to spread as time passed.
At the last minute, the Elf King slightly turned sideways and whispered something to his personal guard Ke beside him.
Ke nodded and turned to leave.
…
There was a slight chill and dampness in the night.
In the dim room, Yu Jin tightly held the black and gold badge given to him by York.
There was no light shining in, and the black and gold metal badge could not reflect any light.
Zorn walked up to him and asked in a low voice: "Is everything ready?"
Yu Jin fiddled with the badge, which was a little rough to the touch, and nodded, "Just wait for the signal over there."
The bald man and the glasses had just left with the medicine five minutes ago. They were the only two in the room still waiting for the signal to act.
There was silence in the room for a moment.
After a long while, Yu Jin suddenly whispered, "Brother Z, can I know your name? Your real name."
As soon as he finished saying this, he realized that he had crossed the line, so he made amends by jokingly saying, "You know my name is Yu Jin, but I only know that you are Z. This is too unfair!"
Zorn snorted and laughed, "Fairness? You're talking about this with a mercenary? What fairness does a mercenary want!"
The absolute silence of the night cast a vague veil over his low humming laughter.
Yu Jin held back his tears and muttered, "Alas, I have exposed myself thoroughly, but Brother Z is unwilling to even tell me his name..."
When talking to Zorn yesterday, Yu Jin told him everything he could.
Including the hardships he experienced in his childhood, his rebellious dark elf parents, and the pain and hatred he had hidden for so many years.
Their plan was bold and reckless, but Yu Jin knew that they had a great chance of succeeding - if he was willing.
Of course Yu Jin is willing.
From the beginning of the plan, he had never thought of retreating unscathed. However, it was obviously not appropriate to tell the other members of the team about this matter. The bald man with an empty brain probably still thought that they were just here to steal an elf corpse.
"I'll tell you one day," Zorn said.
It's just that now is not the most appropriate time.
He treated the members of the mercenary team as family, but that didn't mean they were more important than Zorn Klein's family.
He has to wait a little longer, until Lu Yi can support the Klein family, and until his departure will not have any impact on the Klein family. That will be the time for him to show his cards.
"Okay." Yu Jin said helplessly, "No one can persuade you!"
Yu Jin took off the single-frame glasses on his nose and wiped the lenses to hide his uneasy heart.
It seemed like he couldn't wait for that day.
…
The night was quiet and silent.
Lu Yi was sleeping soundly on the spacious soft bed. The little elf cub curled up beside his neck, one hand still holding his golden hair.
The next second, a huge explosion sounded in Lu Yi's ears, directly blowing him up from the bed.
Lu Yi sat on the bed with messy golden hair, looking out the window blankly.
The view outside the window was not pitch black with no view into the distance, but rather bright and clear due to the moonlight.
Eerily bright.
Is the moon so bright tonight? Lu Yi thought wildly.
Lu Yi lowered his head to glance at Xiaoyi who was sleeping soundly, then raised his head and inserted his hand into the scattered hair on his forehead.
He pushed his hair back and wondered if what happened just now was just an illusion.
The night was exceptionally quiet. Not to mention the loud explosions, there wasn't even the slightest sound of snoring - because elves don't snore, which is a good racial advantage.
If it wasn't an illusion, it could have been his dream.
It's possible that the explosion in his dream woke him up directly.
Lu Yi pulled the small blanket that was crumpled on Xiaoyi's body, and lay down again to take a nap.
"...seems like I'm lying down."
Lu Yi rubbed his eyes and looked at the ceiling which should have been empty again.
But the little bit of light on the ceiling still did not disappear.
Not only did it not disappear, it even leaped up.
These small spots of light seemed to have life. After noticing Lu Yi's gaze, they immediately became active and jumped out of the window.
Lu Yi lay on the bed without moving, following the light with his eyes.
The light jumped out of the window and then turned back, repeating this process over and over again, with the speed becoming faster and faster, as if urging Lu Yi to act.
Lu Yi remained motionless, closing his eyes and lying comfortably on the bed.
He still remembered that Zorn came to him yesterday and told him not to go out tonight.
When curiosity is inappropriate, Lu Yi can extinguish it.
[Lu Lu Lu Lu Yi!] 857 suddenly revived and exclaimed. [The treasure map is lit up!!!]
Lu Yi suddenly opened his eyes and repeated: [“The treasure map is lit up?”]
He wasn't sleepy anymore when it came to the treasure map.
You should know that it was this treasure map that attracted Lu Yi to the Elf Forest in the first place, but the exploration plan was temporarily shelved because there were no more detailed markings on the treasure map.
[“Hurry up and take out the treasure map!”]
The last trace of sleepiness in Lu Yi disappeared, and he held the treasure map with great excitement.
The treasure map emitted a faint light, and the lines on the paper flowed with golden light.
The light became brighter and brighter, and finally condensed into a ball, turning into a thumb-sized light spot that appeared on the treasure map.
Lu Yi's eyes followed the light.
I saw that the spot of light suddenly followed the light by the window that was jumping in and out wildly, repeating the movement of coming in and out, going out and coming in.
The corners of Lu Yi's mouth twitched slightly.
857 was still urging him: [Let’s go, Lu Yi! This must be a good thing! The treasure map of the fallen gods! ]
Lu Yi got up quietly, and when he left, he did not forget to cast a real-time connection barrier on the cabin.
He turned his head to look at the tightly closed door, then looked at the window where small spots of light were dancing. Finally, he followed his heart and opened the wooden window. He pushed with his hands and climbed out of the window.
Outside the window, small spots of light were circling around him frantically, his excitement and thrill needed no words.
"Which direction should we go now?" Lu Yi asked in a low voice.
The little spots of light seemed to understand what he said and flew in a certain direction at the same time.
Lu Yi followed behind them.
It only took Lu Yi twenty minutes to go from being cautious at the beginning to being confident at the end.
Because they had been walking for a long time and had not encountered any elves along the way.
Occasionally, I passed by a few elf huts that were still in use, but they were empty, as if all the elves living there had disappeared overnight.
[“There really is a big move tonight.”] Lu Yi exclaimed.
Judging from the situation, it is likely that the entire elf race has been mobilized.
He was not invited to the gathering for fun, and this elf kept saying that he was a friend recognized by the elves. It turned out that he was just saying that for no reason and was just trying to appease him.
[We have big plans too!] 857 said in high spirits.
Without a satin blindfold, the small map within the field of vision can be online throughout the whole process.
Then Lu Yi could clearly see himself being taken to a completely unknown place by this small spot of light.
Yes, a completely unknown location.
It didn't even show up on the mini-map, as if it had silently entered the inner world of the Elf Forest.
Lu Yi stared at the grayed-out small map and murmured, "Inner and outer world? Or something else?"
The light spot is still jumping in front.
The surrounding trees became more and more lively, and the dim night gradually became as bright as day.
Finally, the light stopped.
They happily surrounded a small tree that just reached Lu Yi's waist, interweaving into a light and bright dance.
Lu Yi's gaze paused.
He looked at the pool of water surrounding the small tree and the colorful green on the leaves, wondering uncertainly if this small tree was the mother tree of the elves?
The group of light spots that had always been surrounding the small tree suddenly separated into a few points of light, which wrapped around Lu Yi's wrist and fingertips.
Lu Yi followed the light, bent down slightly, and reached out to touch the elf mother tree, which was still a thin little tree.
Then his hand was sucked firmly.
Lu Yi: ...
History seemed to be repeating itself at this moment.
857 Ledao: [Score twice! ]
Half feeling helpless and half speechless, Lu Yi tentatively pulled his hand away.
Pull, no pull...
How could someone fall into the same trap twice? Lu Yi thought with great sorrow.
"Well, this is not the mother tree of elves, it's a bandit!"
How could I catch him and kill him alone?
[“Do you think we can handle the mini version of the elf tree?”] Lu Yi asked calmly.
[Of course!] 857 was full of confidence, [I tested it, this little tree branch is not even A-level! Forget about draining your magic power, I feel you can burst it directly!]
[“Good, I feel the same way.”]
Lu Yi acted as soon as he was told and immediately mobilized the magic power in his body and sent it to the young elf tree.
He had not even used up one third of his magic power when the mother tree stopped absorbing it.
Lu Yi was immediately disappointed. [“That’s it?”]
Bring out the energy you had in the afternoon when you wanted to drain the heaven and earth and everything away!
Lu Yi pulled his hand out with a "pop", and plucked two leaves from the mother tree in the process.
In the afternoon, due to the presence of the Elf King and the elders, he did not feel comfortable picking leaves. Now there were only Lu Yi and the Elf Tree, and if he did not pick them, it would be a shame for his magic power that had been wasted in the past two days.
Lu Yi pinched the soft leaves and couldn't help but picked two more.
He held two leaves in his left hand and slowly put the leaf in his right hand into his mouth.
His movements were extremely graceful, and if it weren't for the round tips of his ears, no one would have thought he was not an elf.
“Pfft, pfft, pfft—”
Lu Yi bared his teeth and spat out the remaining leaves in his mouth.
It's really too bitter.
He had never eaten anything so bitter. It was hundreds of times bitterer than the bitterest variety of bitter melon. Just one bite made him feel nauseous.
“Boo-hoo-hoo——”
"Oh, it hurts so much, I'm going to be bald..."
Lu Yi turned his head in horror and looked at the small tree. The sound in his ears seemed to be frightened and disappeared instantly.
But the suppressed, faint voice still exists.
Lu Yi reached out and tapped the small tree, and asked tentatively: "Are you talking?"
“Aaaaaaaaaaa——”
"It's over! There are actually humans who can hear my voice!!"
The thin and shrill cry of a child continued in his ears, and Lu Yi frowned instantly.
He continued to tap the tree from time to time, threateningly saying, "If you keep yelling, I will really help you become bald soon."
The cry disappeared, and the young elf tree cried, "Bing."
God of Light! Where on earth are these cruel humans from?
How can she do such cruel things when she is so beautiful? !
The author has something to say:
