So, the idea that had just popped up was instantly extinguished, and Xu Ling became obedient.
Option 1 won't work, so we have to choose Option 2!
Option two is the simplest and doesn't require many points: simply walk back with the hybrid elf!
But if that's the case, then another problem arises!
She is currently located near Phil Academy. It is known that Xu Ling came to Phil Academy from the Barren Land using a spatial magic array. So, in which direction is the Barren Land from Phil Academy? And how far away is it?
Yes, she already knew the coordinates of Phil Academy when she used the spatial magic circle. Logically, since the location has changed, she could easily deduce the direction and distance of the Barren Land from Phil Academy!
But, the thing I fear most is saying "but"!
Reality isn't so ideal. Although Xu Ling has the precise coordinates of Phil Academy, coordinates are just coordinates!
It's indeed excellent and fast for use with spatial magic circles, allowing for the accurate conversion of numerical data from paper into precise lengths...
Okay, Xu Ling has to admit that her geography and sense of direction are really bad!
Anyway, she can't do it!
Sigh! Neither left nor right works, what should she do?
Xu Ling scratched her head, looking somewhat troubled.
The God of Light lowered his gaze slightly, paused for a moment, and then quickly looked away.
It has to be said that Xu Ling lowered her guard in front of Him, and with just one glance, He had already guessed most of her thoughts.
The Goddess of Light knew that she had used a spatial magic array to travel from the barren land to a place separated from Phil Academy by only one mountain.
Don't be fooled by how easily Xu Ling created a spatial magic circle back then; it doesn't mean that spatial magic circles are commonplace!
That's a magic circle that countless space mages spend their entire lives trying to master!
Not only does it require the magician to have a thorough understanding of spatial order, but it also requires the support of a huge amount of spatial elements.
Smaller, closer-range spatial magic arrays might be completed by a single great mage, but a grand and complex spatial magic array like the one in the capital city is clearly beyond the capabilities of a single great mage!
As for the spatial magic array created by Xu Ling, while it may not be as good as the best, it is more than enough compared to the worst, and it is undoubtedly extremely precious.
He didn't believe that Xu Ling had the resources to produce another such precious magic array!
Since she couldn't produce another spatial magic array, Xu Ling was left with only one option—to walk back to the Barren Land with the half-elf.
Xu Ling wasn't quite sure which direction the Barren Land was in from Phil Academy, or how far away it was, but the God of Light knew all about it perfectly well.
Moreover, there was something Xu Ling didn't know: the farming route she had previously discussed with the God of Light and the direction of the barren land were exactly two different directions!
If Xu Ling's mission was to deliver the hybrid elf to the Barrens along the way, then this would be very difficult.
But if she plans to take the half-elf on the farming route and then return to the Barrens...
Wouldn't that go against her original plan?
Moreover, having the half-elf with her will only indefinitely prolong the time it takes for her to complete her mission!
Seeing Xu Ling's furrowed brows, the God of Light dared not say that his guess was 100% certain, but it was at least 80-90% accurate.
Therefore, not only for Xu Ling's sake, but also for Miller's, He decided to give Xu Ling a push. Of course, this push had to be done silently, without Xu Ling noticing...
After thinking about it, there's actually another way!
The God of Light said casually, "Finding the Tree of Life is impossible now, but perhaps... we can look for pure-blooded elves."
Drawn by His words, Xu Ling looked up and uttered a soft "Hmm?" before asking, "What do you want with a pureblood elf?"
Could it be that pure-blooded elves also share a similar characteristic?
Xu Ling was right; pure-blooded elves do indeed share similar characteristics!
The God of Light immediately explained the reason to her: "Pure-blooded elves are no match for your abilities!"
In short, it still solidified Xu Ling's status as a "miracle cure" for mixed-race elves.
Xu Ling: ······
The God of Light, ignoring her speechlessness, continued, "However, the pure-blooded elves I'm referring to are those born from the Tree of Life. Only these pure-blooded elves can effectively suppress the illnesses of the mixed-blooded elves."
Many people don't know that pure-blooded elves are actually divided into two categories. One category is born directly from the Tree of Life, while the other category is born from the union of two pure-blooded elves.
The purity of their bloodlines is roughly the same, but compared to the latter, the former, being nurtured by the Tree of Life, possesses purer abilities and has also inherited a trace of the Tree of Life's life force.
It is this sliver of life force that allows pure-blooded elves, while unable to silently protect half-blooded elves like Xu Ling or the Tree of Life, to heal them with their own abilities.
Xu Ling noticed the pure-blooded elves specifically mentioned in the myth of light, but didn't pay much attention to them.
After all, besides the Tree of Life, the only elf she knew—the Emerald—was one of the pure-blooded elves specifically mentioned in the mythology of light.
Although the existence of the Tree of Life cannot be made public, as for the Emerald...
What's wrong with making up any excuse and saying it was a chance encounter?
Therefore, before the God of Light could express how difficult it was to find pure-blooded elves born from the Tree of Life, Xu Ling, as if struck by a flash of inspiration, spoke first.
“I remember now!” Her face was full of deliberately feigned joy, but fortunately, the God of Light had no intention of exposing her at the moment and just waited for Xu Ling to continue. “Hmm… I do know an elf.”
Elf?
The God of Light was slightly moved.
Others might not know, but He was perfectly clear about the spirits around Xu Ling. Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly; before He could even steer the conversation towards jade, Xu Ling brought it up herself!
The God of Light gave an intrigued "Oh?", as if silently urging her on.
However, fearing that her guilty conscience would be exposed, Xu Ling avoided his gaze, saying, "I just happened to run into him on the street!"
I wouldn't dare say that I personally witnessed the birth of the Tree of Life!
"On the way to Phil Academy, we even traveled together for a while, by some chance..."
As her nonsense became more and more fluent, Xu Ling's tone of voice became much more natural than before. Unfortunately, she didn't know that the nonsense she was spouting was full of holes.
Leaving aside the chance encounter, what are the odds that she could have a "chance encounter" with the elves now that they are almost extinct!
Moreover, the two of them were traveling together!
The elf was already being quite darting around; how could he possibly travel with her so openly?!
However, although the God of Light knew perfectly well that this was Xu Ling's nonsense, he still pretended... There was no need to pretend, since He was expressionless at the moment and showed no sign of questioning Xu Ling.
