Chapter 259 Shushu Writes a Diary (Revised)
swamp?
Could it be the famous death swamp - Unibal Swamp?
The swamp covered a large area, almost the same size as the present-day Enkak area.
It turns out that ten thousand years ago it was not a swamp, but a part of the Enkak region. When the earth god was fighting with the dark forces, an earthquake occurred, which changed the nature of the land and turned it into a swamp.
The Temple of Ersid, the god of earth, and the Temple of Eddas, the god of fire, sank into the ground, never seeing the light of day for thousands of years and unknown to the world.
No wonder there are so few records about the Temple of Ered in existing books, and only this ancient book made of cowhide mentions it a little.
The earth elf that has been missing for ten thousand years is likely in the Temple of Erst.
Shu Li was very excited, but after flipping through a few pages, he felt a little disappointed.
It's a pity that there is not much mention of the Temple of Ursed later on, and the story basically tells the endless conflict between dwarves and goblins.
Shu Li regretfully closed the leather book and returned it to Ace, saying gratefully, "Thank you. I've finished reading it."
In any case, it will be easier if we know the location of the Temple of Erst.
The Unnibal Swamp was adjacent to Vanaku, and the Mother Tree's roots must be buried underground. Upon returning to the academy, he discussed with the Mother Tree and decided to first purify the roots beneath the swamp and conduct a precise search for the Temple of Ersted.
Ace took the leather book and put it back on the shelf. "You're welcome."
Shu Li asked doubtfully, "You... aren't going to buy it?"
Ace said, "I read a few pages, but it's nothing more than the story of dwarves and goblins vying for the favor of the Earth God. I'm not very interested."
Shu Li blinked.
Not very interested. Why was he watching so intently just now?
Ace reached out and pulled out another ancient book. He asked Shu Li, "Have you picked your book yet?"
Shu Li nodded: "I've chosen it and paid for it."
Ace took the ancient book in his hand and went to the shopkeeper to pay. The ancient book was expensive, so the shopkeeper asked for twenty gold coins. Ace did not bargain and simply paid.
When Shu Li was about to pay, he seemed to want to say something but stopped.
He felt that this book, "What My Elf Teacher and I Have to Tell," was stranger than "The Faith of Dwarves and Goblins."
The former is a myth, and the latter is completely like a third-rate novel!
The boss took the money with a smile on his face.
Shu Li sighed.
Well, it’s just a personal hobby, he can’t say much.
Then, he put a big question mark on the guess in his mind.
He simply couldn't imagine the noble and elegant Elf King reading a third-rate novel with great relish.
Shu Li sketched out the picture in his mind, and quickly shook his head to get rid of the strange picture.
"What's wrong?" Ace's pleasant voice sounded, bringing him back to his thoughts.
"Uh, no, nothing." Shu Li replied guiltily. He turned to look at his teammates and asked loudly, "Have you all chosen your books?"
"I've chosen."
The teammates came to the boss one after another with their books to pay.
The boss was very happy after selling twenty or thirty books at once. If he hadn't been concerned about Seryu, an old customer, he would have really wanted to ask for a lot of money and make a fortune.
After buying the books, it was almost dinner time, so the group left the commercial area on the top floor and went to the restaurant on the third floor.
Finally able to enjoy the delicious food, Farm, with his sensitive nose, jumped out of the Seal of the God of Fire again, squatted on Shu Li's shoulder, stretched his neck, and sniffed around.
"There's monster meat! And it's high-grade!" Its mouth was drooling.
Shu Li lifted it off his shoulder in disgust to prevent its saliva from soaking his magic robe.
High-level monster meat is not cheap. After being cooked by restaurant chefs, the price doubles.
To celebrate the successful completion of the first adventure mission, Shu Li generously ordered a table of delicious food, and everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
Amanda finally got to try seafood.
The only downside is that the seafood is frozen and not fresh enough.
However, Amanda was also very satisfied. After all, Igya City is an inland city, and seafood transportation is difficult. Maintaining 70% to 80% freshness is quite good.
After eating and drinking, Team Light happily left the Castle of Delabe and took a carriage back to the Saint Vilia Magic Academy.
In the dormitory living room, Ace was sitting leisurely on the sofa, flipping through the newly bought ancient books. Seeing this, Shu Li felt embarrassed to disturb him and went back to her bedroom.
Today he is going back to the Elf Kingdom.
Israel must be upset because I didn't go home yesterday.
In addition, he wanted to verify a guess in his mind.
It was still early, so Shu Li decided to write a diary before returning to the Elf Kingdom, recording in detail the process of yesterday's battle with the Demon Lord.
He changed into a fairy robe, turned into a tiny being, took out a diary and a set of mini tables and chairs, and wrote while recalling his memories.
"...Mom, Dad, and my brothers, you wouldn't have guessed it, but I'm fighting the Lord of Hell! Honestly, I didn't expect to face a minor boss so soon. The Lord of Hell is truly formidable. With my current strength, I'm no match for him. I can't even imagine how terrifying the God of Darkness will be! I need to become stronger as quickly as possible, striving to find all the elemental spirits and ascend to the level of a Magic God. Otherwise, let alone defeating the God of Darkness, even the Lords of Hell under his command will easily crush me."
Shu Li wrote faster and faster, his handwriting changed from regular script to running script. He wrote eight pages in one breath and finally finished recording what happened yesterday.
Just as he was about to put down his pen, he hesitated and wrote a few more lines.
[There's something I don't know how to do, but if I don't figure it out, I'll be stuck in the fog and feel uncomfortable.]
[Will Ace be the Elf King?]
"Although I have many doubts, without solid evidence, I cannot make a judgment. Furthermore, I don't think it's possible for the Elf King to disguise himself as a human and fabricate his background to deliberately approach us."
[What's the reason? What's the motivation?]
Shu Li stopped writing and scratched his hair. With his current brain, he really couldn't figure it out.
If Ace is not the Elf King, how do you explain yesterday's nightmare?
What really aroused his suspicion was Ace's collar.
In the nightmare, he lay in the Elf King's arms and cried, his tears soaking his clothes.
In reality, Ace's clothes were slightly wet, right on his left chest.
How could such a coincidence happen in the world?
Moreover, Ace often gave him a familiar feeling, and he mistook him for the Elf King several times.
He had previously asked the Elf King if he could teleport back to the Elf Kingdom from the courtyard.
The Elf King said no.
Is it really not possible?
Shu Li shook his head, his brows furrowed, and he felt guilty.
How could I suspect that the great Elf King was lying?
He was just a little goblin. Why would the king deceive him for no reason?
With a long sigh, Shu Li closed the diary.
This is the contradiction that makes him overturn his own guess again and again.
To him, the Elf King is perfect, noble, powerful, purer than moonlight, and would never do anything like disguising himself as a human to deceive the goblins.
Just thinking about it feels like blasphemy to him.
Shu Li patted her cheeks, released her senses, and quietly entered the living room. The sofa was empty; Ace had obviously gone back to the bedroom.
He clasped his hands together, said sorry, expanded his perception, penetrated into Ace's bedroom, and "saw" him taking off his clothes.
Well……
Ace stood in front of the bed, took off his magic robe, and only wore a thin shirt on his upper body. His waist-length golden hair was scattered like silk, swaying gently with his movements, shining with golden light.
He was completely unaware of Shu Li's perception and unbuttoned his belt with elegant movements.
Shu Li hurriedly withdrew his perception.
Don’t look at what is indecent, don’t look at what is indecent!
He covered his burning face and apologized to his roommate again - although Ace couldn't hear him, he would feel bad if he didn't apologize.
Therefore, perception cannot be released at will, otherwise it would be terrible to see the other person's privacy.
Shu Li quickly put away the diary and the mini table and chairs, flew to the window, and summoned the mother tree.
[Oenomisis, are you there?]
'I am here. '
[Well, I want to discuss something with you. Today I found a clue that the Temple of Erst, the God of Earth, might be beneath the Unnibal Swamp. Could you purify the roots beneath the swamp and help me find it?]
"The Temple of Ersid? It is indeed the residence of the Earth God Hedface Loverne in the human world. I will investigate and let you know when I have more information."
[Great! Thank you for your hard work!]
"I'm going to purify all the roots anyway, it's just a matter of order." The mother tree smiled gently and asked, "Are you going back to Elfland tonight?"
[Yeah, I have to go back.]
Shu Li opened the window a little, squeezed out, touched the branches of the mother tree, and dived in.
The moment the goblin's breath disappeared, Ace, who had changed his clothes, sensed something and returned to his appearance as the Elf King. He calmly took out several high-level magic stones from his storage ring and threw them into the magic teleportation array on the ground.
Shu Li quickly returned to the Elf Kingdom through the root space of the mother tree. When he crawled out of the trunk, he was shocked.
"Sperian!"
A crisp sound was heard, and all the little fairies squatting on the branches of the mother tree opened their translucent wings and swarmed towards Shu Li.
"Sperian, we missed you so much!"
"You are finally back, we have been waiting for you for a long time!"
"We haven't seen each other for over a month. Do you miss us?"
"Brave Sperian, is it fun outside? I want to hear your adventure stories~"
More than twenty little fairies chattered and told Shu Li about their lovesickness. One hugged and rubbed her, and the other hugged and rubbed her, so enthusiastic.
Shu Li was completely stunned and confused about the situation for a moment.
In addition to the twenty-one goblins who were born with him, there were also eight eight-year-old goblin cubs who were actually "blocking" him on the branch of the mother tree.
The elves knew that he could go to other places through the mother tree, and the adult goblins might know it, but among the goblins, except for a few like Desio, the others did not know it.
But now, as soon as he emerged from the trunk of the mother tree, he ran into the goblins.
And from what they said, it seemed like they knew he would show up.
Coming back to his senses, Shu Li held his reddened face in his hands and asked, "Why...are you here?"
Lois said, "The wheat planted by the elves is ripe. We are here to help harvest it."
In fact, the elves had more than enough harvest to do themselves, but the goblins loved to join in the fun, so after getting the consent of Sid and Elsa, they excitedly came to the Elf Kingdom to play.
"We arrived yesterday! We found Israel sitting under the mother tree for most of the day."
The other goblins took over.
"Helene called him back to his room to rest, but he didn't listen."
"Yeah, we were afraid he'd be lonely, so we played with him."
"But he seems to be worried and doesn't like to talk."
"Hehe, so Misina suggested playing the game you taught me before - Truth or Dare!"
"When it was Israel's turn, he told everyone that you would return to Elfland through the Mother Tree every day."
"Wow! Sperian, you're amazing!"
"That's right, why didn't you tell us such an interesting thing?"
"Can Dixie and the others also come back through the Mother Tree?"
"Yesterday you didn't come back, and Israel was very disappointed, so he was in a bad mood."
"So everyone got up early today and came here with Israel to wait for you!"
Shu Li listened to the little goblins talking to each other and finally understood the whole story.
He pinched Misina's delicate cheeks. This cub had always been arrogant and acted like a boss. Surprisingly, he was also quite clever, knowing how to use games to trick the elf cubs into talking.
Shu Li took out a beautiful small bag from her storage bag and handed it to Misina as a reward. "Here, this is the candy I bought outside."
"Sugar!" Misina's eyes sparkled. "Is this sugar made by humans?"
"Yes, they're very sweet. Eating too much will cause tooth decay." Shu Li tapped the cub's nose, "So, you can only eat two at a time."
"Okay." Misina took the bag, opened it and saw that it was full of colorful candies. She happily shared it with the other four cubs.
"Sperian~~"
The little goblins came over, blinking their eyes and looking at Shu Li with bright eyes.
Shu Li smiled and took out four or five more small bags. "These are for you. Remember, don't eat too much!"
"Wow, thank you Sperian!" The little elf closest to him happily hugged Shu Li, kissed his cheek a few times.
Seeing that the other goblins were about to pounce on him, Shu Li quickly flew away from the branch and was surprised to see the elf cub Israel squatting quietly on the ground pulling weeds.
Yo, the little guy is still angry?
