Chapter 125 Earned 50,000 Gold Coins
The mother tree was very impatient this time.
Without even showing up, Shu Li was directly sucked into the roots, and then transferred to the branches of Wanaku through the root space.
Shu Li was greeting me one moment, and the next, she had already moved to another place.
The night turned into day, the silver moon turned into the scorching sun, and the feeling of heat hit me.
He blinked, lowered his greeting hand, quickly hid under a dark green leaf, squatted, folded his wings, and stretched out his fingers to poke the bark of the mother tree's branch.
Didn't I tell him before that there was no rush? Now he was transferred without even saying hello.
"Onomesis, what happened?" Shu Li asked nervously.
"My stored light element is almost exhausted," the mother tree replied seriously, "you need to cast a few more purification spells on me today."
[Oh——] Shu Li breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out to be just a small matter. He thought something serious had happened. It was really a false alarm.
When he first purified the mother tree, he once asked, why is it necessary to purify the branches of Wanaku? Wouldn’t it be more convenient and safer to purify the trunk directly?
The mother tree told her that cleaning the tree was only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.
In other words, the branches are pathogens. If they are not contained, the dark forces will spread indefinitely and continuously attack the main trunk. No matter how much the main trunk is purified, it cannot withstand the erosion of the dark forces.
Only by controlling the source can we effectively cure the disease.
He cast a purification spell on the branches, and the mother tree stored the element of light, blocked the wellhead of the dark power, and then slowly combed and purified the roots bit by bit.
The project is huge and the effect is significant.
After five years of hard work, the mother tree not only regained its sanity, but also controlled the spread of the dark power.
Now she teleported herself here so anxiously, probably because the light element was about to be exhausted and the wellhead was in danger.
Shu Li took out the advanced magic wand and, with the help of the leaves, quickly cast the silent purification spell.
Specially concentrated small balls of light shot into the branches and trunks of the mother tree one after another.
After casting the purification spell fifteen times in a row, the mother tree said that it was enough, enough for her to seal the wellhead.
Shu Li put down his magic wand.
[I'm going to check out fruit number two.]
He first looked around carefully to make sure there were no dark elves passing by nearby. Then he flapped his wings and flew up along the tree trunk. He flew to a branch and found fruit number two.
Fruit No. 2 is produced at the same time as Fruit No. 1.
With the dark elf Efit as his cover, he could choose any fruit to purify.
Shu Li leaned against Guozi No. 2 and whispered, "Guozi, did you miss me? I'm sorry I was out for a while and couldn't come over to purify you. You won't blame me, will you?"
Guozi is still young, so of course she can't answer his question.
Shu Li didn't need it to answer. She just wanted to interact more with Guozi, do prenatal education in advance, and cultivate feelings.
The fruit skin has become darker in color after not being purified for more than 20 days.
This is a phenomenon of being eroded by dark forces.
Without hesitation, he raised his magic wand and cast a purification spell on fruit number two.
After four times, the color of the skin of fruit No. 2 faded and returned to its light green color.
Shu Li put away the magic wand, stroked fruit number two, and completed today's task.
Next, we have to wait for Efit.
He found a leaf to shelter him, sat down cross-legged, and kept an eye on the movements under the tree.
Efit would appear at the exact time. He would go under the tree, take out his notebook, and count the fruits tirelessly.
Shu Li waited for him to finish counting and threw a gold coin at him.
Efit saw the familiar flash of light, reached out, and caught the gold coin accurately.
Here comes that bold little goblin!
Efit clenched the gold coin, a hint of excitement flashed in his blood-red eyes, and he jumped to the top of the mother tree branch, moved up more than 20 meters, and found the location of the goblin.
Under the dark green leaves, the little blonde elf sat cross-legged, a friendly smile on her delicate face. She raised her little hand and waved to him enthusiastically.
"Good afternoon, Efit."
"...Good afternoon." Efit wanted to smile, but his face had been stern for a long time and his muscles were stiff, so the smile seemed a little forced.
"I'm sorry, I'm several days late." Shu Li took the initiative to apologize to him.
"It's okay," Efit said.
A few days ago, he was supposed to arrive at the agreed time, but instead of the little goblin, he saw the shadow of the mother tree, which really surprised him.
Since the mother tree branched out and planted in this land ten thousand years ago, no dark elf has ever seen her shadow.
For a long time, the dark elves have assumed that the branch of the mother tree is just a fertility tree without intelligence and have no respect for it. Some dark elves even dislike that the mother tree bears fruit too quickly, which puts pressure on them.
Vanaku is short of resources, and every additional dark elf means another competitor.
Therefore, adult dark elves always find ways to torment the young, calling it survival of the fittest, but in fact it is a disguised way to reduce the number of competitors.
Ephed hated such behavior.
He believed that every cub was precious and a continuation of the species and should not be treated cruelly.
When a little elf from the Elf Forest suddenly appeared in front of him, he realized that the branches and trunk of the mother tree were one spirit, and the dark elves could not sense her presence because she did not want to appear.
That day, the shadow of the mother tree suddenly appeared and told him that the little goblin was delayed and could not come on time. He stared at the beautiful figure of the mother tree, his eyes became moist, and a strong feeling of attachment rose in his heart.
No matter how ruthless the dark elves are, deep down they still yearn for the love from the mother tree.
Shu Li was unaware of the dark elf's complicated feelings. Time was pressing, so he deftly took out a large cloth bag filled with herbs from his storage ring.
The big cloth bag was more than ten times bigger than him. It was placed on the branch and was swaying. Efit was quick to grab it.
"The herbs you want are all in there. Check quickly to see if anything is missing." Shu Lidong looked around with a wary look on his face, fearing that there might be other dark elves nearby.
Efit put the large bag into his storage bag and said, "No need to check."
Shu Li was surprised and advised, "What if there's a shortage of quantity?"
Efit said, "It's okay."
He held a storage bag filled with gold coins in his hand and placed it in front of the goblin. "Here's the balance, a total of 50,000 gold coins."
Shu Li stared at the storage bag in front of him, shocked.
How many?
Fifty thousand gold coins?
Did he hear it right?
The herbs he picked up randomly in the Fairy Forest and bought at the herbal medicine store on the commercial street cost less than three thousand in total. He felt that selling it for five thousand was too expensive.
Shu Li waved her hand: "You gave me too much! After deducting the 500 deposit, you only need to pay me 4500 gold coins."
Efit stared at the innocent little elf in silence.
The Fairy Forest is rich in resources and produces a lot of rare herbs that are priceless in the outside world. However, the little fairies who have lived in the forest for a long time have no idea how precious the herbs are.
A single moonlight grass could be sold for up to 10,000 gold coins at a human auction house.
For such a big bag, he was already getting a great deal by giving 50,000 gold coins.
It’s not that he wants to cheat the little goblin, but these 50,000 gold coins are his few savings.
Dark elves are just that poor.
As a pharmacist, he needed to purchase a large amount of materials for research, which cost a huge amount of money. He often made some money, but it was gone the next day.
In order to buy the goblin's herbs, he took out all the gold coins he had saved for more than twenty days.
It turned out that the goblin thought it was too much and only wanted 4,500 gold coins.
Whenever he harbored evil intentions, the little goblin would be badly harmed by him.
"Calculate it according to the outside world's price." said Efit.
Seeing his resolute attitude, Shu Li had no choice but to put the storage bag into the storage ring and said with a smile: "Next time you need it, order from me again~"
It feels great to earn a huge sum of money through my own labor.
He is also a little elf who knows how to make money!
Efit looked at the little elf who was radiating joy, and his eyes softened involuntarily.
Looking up at the fruit-filled tree, he asked, "Can you only purify the newly born fruit?"
"Ah?" Shu Li looked at him in confusion. "What else?"
Newly grown fruits are contaminated by darkness for a short time, are purified quickly, and are easy to steal.
Other fruits that are more than five years old have been too deeply corroded by darkness, and it is still unknown whether they can be completely purified.
Therefore, the mother tree discussed with him and decided to focus on the new fruits first.
Efit lowered his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Can you agree to one condition of mine?"
Shu Li said solemnly: "What conditions?"
Efit said, "I hope that all cubs will be born in the Elven Kingdom and receive a good education and love, so... please don't give up any of the fruit."
Shu Li was stunned.
He saw the sorrow and regret on the dark elf's gray face.
No wonder the mother tree looks at Efit differently.
He truly cherishes every dark elf cub and cannot bear to see them being tortured and hurt.
"I'll... give it a try!" Shu Li said seriously, "I'll do my best to purify every fruit."
Dark elves do not cherish their cubs, but white elves are very rare. If it were not for the restrictions, he and the mother tree would have wanted to steal all the fruits.
The more the better!
By then, the elves will be busy rua the elf cubs and will not stare at the fairy cubs every day.
Shu Li did it right away. Under Efit's guidance, he chose an old fruit that was said to have grown for more than 40 years. In front of Efit, he cast ten silent purification spells on it.
The aged fruit was indeed severely corroded by darkness. Even after ten purification spells, there was no change on the surface.
Shu Li was not discouraged and decided to try again next time.
After bidding farewell to Ephite, he crawled into the trunk of the mother tree and returned to the Elf Courtyard.
Watching the goblin disappear, Efit jumped off the branch, hurried back to his room, entered the potion mixing room, and took out a large bag of herbs from the storage bag.
As soon as I unsealed it, I could smell the refreshing fragrance. As I opened the seal, I could see fresh herbs.
Efit's pupils contracted slightly.
These were the freshest herbs he had ever received. Some of the roots were even covered in a layer of damp mud, and the leaves oozed green juice with a gentle squeeze.
The herbs in the Fairy Forest are hard to come by.
For thousands of years, countless adventure teams and commissioned soldiers have ventured into the dangerous Fairy Forest to collect rare resources.
Magical beasts, herbs, ores, trees, fruits... are all their targets. It would be even better if they could catch a lone goblin.
Humans and other races are eager to get things from the Fairy Forest, and the good things never get to the poor.
Erfit went to the auction house several times but came back empty-handed.
It's too expensive and he can't afford it.
Now, he has accepted five dark elf cubs as his disciples. He is under a lot of pressure and has to work hard to make money to support the children.
The bag of precious herbs sent by the goblin solved his urgent problem.
Shu Li crawled out from the trunk of the mother tree and yawned loudly.
After casting advanced purification spells for more than twenty times in a row, which consumed a lot of magic power and physical strength, he stuck close to Fruit No. 1, said good night to the mother tree, and flew back to his room staggeringly.
A shadow emerged from the mother tree, and it watched the goblin's room light up, then dim again after a while.
"...Fris, he always surprises us."
The mother tree turned around and looked at the Elf King who had appeared in front of the tree at some point.
“He purified in advance the fruit that had been gestating for over forty years.”
An expression of emotion appeared on the mother tree's beautiful face.
"Is that so?" The Elf King looked up at the new fruit on the branch and whispered, "Oenomisis...will it be different this time?"
The mother tree smiled, "Be more confident, Fres. You are the son of light left in the human world by the God of Light. You are the only sword that can break the darkness."
The Elf King raised his hands, which appeared unusually pale and transparent under the moonlight.
"I can't protect him. The title of Son of Light is just a figment of my imagination..."
"Fris..."
The mother tree stared at him worriedly.
The Elf King put down his hand, instantly restrained his outward emotions, and returned to his former elegance and indifference.
"Good night, Eunomia."
"Good night, my king." The mother tree looked at his lonely back and watched him leave.
*** **** ***
After a tiring night, Shu Li fell into a deep sleep, but was still woken up by Saya the next day.
Today we are going to Milady Palace to pray to the gods, so all the elves and fairies got up early and made preparations before departure.
The goblins and their cubs didn't have to work, they just had to put on their most beautiful clothes, eat and drink their fill, and wait to set off.
Shu Li deliberately grew in size and successfully got a docile white deer as a mount.
The white deer is two meters tall and four meters long. The two horns on its head are like the intertwined coral trees, crystal clear. Its four legs are strong and powerful, and each has a pair of small wings.
Shu Li fell in love with the white deer at first sight.
He walked up to the white deer and had some communication with it. After getting permission, he jumped up and lightly jumped onto the deer's back.
"Wow, your fur is so soft." Shu Li couldn't let go and stroked the white deer's long fur, wishing she could bury herself in it and rub it.
The white deer called out "Yo Yo" and responded happily.
Seeing that it didn't object, Shu Li buried her face in its soft fur and rubbed it hard.
"Sperien, let us ride the white deer with you!" Disio rushed over and circled around the white deer.
"Come up." Shu Li waved his hand and called his friends.
The white deer is so big that it is no problem for all the little goblins to come up.
"Wow! That's great!"
A group of goblins flew over, some sat on the white deer's horns, some sat on the white deer's head, and some sat on the white deer's back, and they all found their own positions.
"Sperian, what about us? What about us?"
Eight chubby goblin cubs looked at him with sparkling eyes.
"You sit here." Shu Li pointed to the empty seat in front of him.
"Great~~" Misina moved closer to Shu Li, kissed his cheek, sat down happily, and instantly sank into the thick fur of the white deer.
The other seven cubs followed suit, making a few "baji, baji" sounds and sitting around Misina one by one.
Shu Li wiped the saliva off his face.
The little ones this year are really extroverted.
The little goblin and the young cub all got on his white stag, much to the envy of the elves and goblins.
I thought I could get a share of the little guy, but unexpectedly, Sperian took them all.
The Elf King rode the holy unicorn to the white deer and invited Shu Li to go with him.
"Ah, is it okay?" Shu Li asked in surprise.
In the past, the Elf King's unicorn always took the lead, followed by other elves and fairies, and they set out in an orderly manner towards Lake Saint Zenan where Milady's palace was located.
Will the formation be disrupted since he is traveling with the Elf King this time?
"Sure." A smile flickered in the Elf King's green eyes. "Shall we go?"
"Okay!" Shu Li moved his legs and drove the white deer to walk side by side with the unicorn.
However, the white deer did not dare to overtake the unicorn and was always one step behind.
The Elf King patted the unicorn's neck lightly. The unicorn shook its tail and reluctantly put away its kingly aura.
Without the deterrent effect, the white deer gradually grew bolder and moved forward side by side with the unicorn.
The huge team passed through the vibrant plains and successfully arrived at Lake Saint Zenan.
The Elf King raised his scepter and chanted a spell, and the lake split into two, revealing a huge rock road at the bottom of the lake leading to Gust Island.
The fairy cubs who came here for the first time were amazed and danced with excitement.
Shu Li and other goblins go to Gust Island every Midsummer Festival and have become accustomed to seeing such wonders.
After walking along the long rocky road and stepping onto Dagest Island, the Elf King lifted the seal, revealing the island's true appearance.
Today is not Midsummer Day, so there is no need to decorate the square or the altar. Just go up the stairs directly to the Milady Palace on the top of the mountain.
Shu Li followed the Elf King and climbed the stairs. The closer they got to Milady's Palace, the more serious the atmosphere became. The usually noisy goblins quieted down, and the ignorant goblin cubs became extremely well-behaved, flapping their wings hard and flying behind Shu Li.
No matter how many times you visit the temple, you will be struck by the six giant stone pillars standing in front of the gate.
The Elf King chanted a spell, and the temple gate slowly opened and moved to both sides, revealing a magnificent and spacious hall.
Seeing the lifelike statue of the god again, Shu Li couldn't take his eyes off it.
The Elf King walked up to the statue of the God of Light, raised his arms, crossed them in front of his chest, and gracefully paid the highest tribute to the statue of the God of Light.
"Great God of Light, Lyant Freys, I am your faithful believer. Thank you for bestowing a bright future upon the elves."
The solemn hall was densely packed with elves and fairies, who all saluted the God of Light without any prior agreement.
After reciting the opening words of blessing, we enter the prayer phase.
Shu Li prayed to the God of Light as usual.
[Great God of Light, Lyant Freyce, I am Sperian of the Fairy Forest, your faithful follower! Please bless me to grow quickly, learn my skills, become the most powerful warrior, defeat the God of Darkness, return to my original world, and reunite with my family. I will forever praise you and follow you!]
For ten years, every time he came here to pray on Midsummer Day, he had only this one wish.
However, as time passed, his bond with the other world grew deeper and deeper, and he gradually began to feel reluctant to leave.
When he can return to his original world one day, can he really leave without any worries?
Will he be reluctant to leave his friends who he has been with day and night, the fairies and elves who have taught him, and the Elf King who protects him, loves him and treats him as a disciple?
However, it is unrealistic to let him stay here forever.
He hasn't seen his parents and brothers for ten years.
Even when meditating, I can see their every smile and frown, but they are ultimately memories of the past.
He didn't know how fast time flowed in the two worlds. If he went back one day and his relatives were long gone, how heartbroken would he be?
Whenever he thought of this problem, he became listless and depressed, and had no interest in doing anything.
So, he often ignores it, disregards it, and tells himself to be optimistic and positive.
Different time and space, as long as you are strong enough, you can definitely return to the correct time point.
God of Light, please bless me!
Shu Li prayed sincerely to the God of Light.
Maybe he was thinking too much, but his body suddenly became light and his consciousness entered a mysterious state.
In a trance, he found himself standing in a dilapidated palace.
ah?
Shu Li was dizzy and kicked something with her feet, which made a sharp sound and startled her.
It is a blood-stained and deformed shield.
He rubbed his eyes, took in the surroundings, and took a breath.
There are corpses everywhere!
Most of them are the corpses of elves and goblins!
Oh my god!
how so?
What on earth had happened? Why did I inexplicably appear on...the battlefield!
Yes, this place has just experienced a terrible war, with blood flowing like a river. In addition to the corpses of elves and goblins, there are also corpses of other races on the ground.
He saw winged people with broken wings, mermaids torn into pieces, dark elves with their eyes open, piles of skeletons and necromancers, ugly monsters, hideous beasts, and... a dragon that had been pierced like a hedgehog.
Shu Li covered her mouth in horror, tears of fear and sadness streaming down her face, unable to stop.
He spread his wings and flew into the air, smelling the strong smell of blood and searching aimlessly.
Is there no... living creature?
The sky was dark and the world was eerily silent and lifeless.
If it weren't for the tattered flag fluttering slightly, he would have thought the whole scene was just a huge tragic painting.
I was clearly praying to the gods in the temple, so how did I enter a fantasy world?
Yes, he thought this was an illusion.
Just like when I listened to the elf poetry before, the switch of the illusion was suddenly triggered.
But this illusion was different from the previous ones. It was so terrifying that it made his hair stand on end.
Shu Li's stomach churned and he felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit.
He flew to a certain place in the palace and found that there were no corpses there, so he landed on the ground, held onto the broken stone pillar, and retched a few times.
Unfortunately, he might be in a soul state and can't spit out anything.
The smell of blood was lighter here. He recovered and looked around. He saw a familiar figure leaning against the pillar in front of him.
His blond hair was disheveled, his ornate purple robe stained with blood, his cape tattered and tattered. He sat on the ground in a state of disarray, a strangely shaped sword in his right hand, the blade stuck in the ground, supporting his body. In his arms, he held a "person" with equally blond hair. That "person"'s hands drooped limply, their white robes stained red with blood.
Shu Li opened his mouth in shock and approached them step by step. When he was about to get close, suddenly, the blond elf leaning against the stone pillar drew out his sword and pointed it at him.
"Who?" The cold voice made Shu Li's heart tremble.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at the Elf King's vicious face in disbelief. His eyes, which should have been emerald green, were now as red as blood.
