Chapter 358 Water Spirit
Shu Li's original purpose of coming to the Snow Mountain Maze was to look for the Water Spirit, and because Chris and Nasha's brother Leon was in the Snow Kingdom, she came here to explore in advance.
From entering the snow-capped mountains to now, the process has been smooth, but it has also consumed more than nine months.
Now, he was finally going to meet the water elf. He was so excited that he sat on the shoulders of the Elf King, looking around and moving his little butt around.
The Elf King tapped his forehead with his finger, telling him to calm down.
Shu Li touched his forehead and sat down obediently.
Although Purshi was walking in front, his perception was outward, so he could naturally "see" the interaction between the Elf King and the goblins clearly.
He once again marveled at the little elf's uniqueness.
After leaving the temple and passing through the central square, all the passersby on the road saluted them with their eyes. When they saw the little elf on the Elf King's shoulder, they were all stunned, their eyes wide open as if they saw something rare.
It turns out that the little goblin’s body is really only the size of a palm!
Exquisite, beautiful, cute, and very likable.
Before, when I saw him standing on the stage with his big body, I just thought he was so beautiful and distant. But now that he has become smaller, I feel a sense of intimacy for no reason and I want to hold him in my arms and love him.
No wonder in legends, some powerful people with ill intentions would target fairies, lock them in cages, and take them for themselves.
Fortunately, goblins are protective and vindictive. Anyone who dares to imprison a goblin will be subjected to endless revenge!
Shu Li was not a man of few words. Being stared at by so many burning eyes, he felt uncomfortable all over. So, he tried to hide in the Elf King's hair to reduce his presence.
But the more he did this, the more people became curious about him, and more eyes were focused on him.
After walking for ten minutes, we finally arrived at our destination.
There were no strangers around, so Shu Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He poked his little head out from the Elf King's hair and looked up at the hundred-meter-high tower.
This tower is the landmark building of the Eba Fortress and the center of the city. The blue crystal inlaid on the top of the tower is a top-level water magic stone, which releases magic power at all times to support the operation of the defense array.
The water spirit is in the tower?
Shu Li was full of doubts.
"Please follow me." Purshi used magic to open the door of the tower and invited the Elf King and the goblin in.
As soon as he entered the door, Shu Li felt the rich element of water. He spread his wings, flew away from the Elf King's shoulder, and flew in the direction where the water element was the richest.
The Elf King did not stop him and followed slowly behind.
Purshi shook her magic wand and chanted a spell, and the tower door slowly closed.
The tower is a restricted area of the Eba Fortress and no one is allowed to enter without permission.
Purshi is one of the few dharma gods who possess the key.
The interior of the tower is spacious and simply decorated, with the only eye-catching thing being the central column.
The cylinder is about two meters in diameter and goes straight to the top. The surface is covered with complex magic runes, which flash from time to time.
The rich water element emanates from the cylinder.
Shu Li flew around the cylinder several times in confusion, but could not find anything strange.
Purshi looked up at the column with a complicated look in his eyes.
Shu Li flew back to the Elf King and asked Pulsi with his head tilted: "Where is the Water Elf?"
Apart from the rich water element here, there are no water elves.
"It's down there." Pulshi pressed his right hand on the pillar, triggering a mechanism. The floor tiles near the pillar suddenly disappeared, and a ladder spiraling downwards appeared.
Shu Li's mouth turned into a "0".
Purshi was the first to go down the stairs, Shuli hurriedly followed, and the Elf King came last.
The spiral staircase went around four or five times before reaching the basement.
When the Elf King stepped down the last step, the mechanism was activated, the spiral staircase disappeared, and the top returned to its original state.
The basement is not dark, but very bright.
The lighting stones inlaid on all four walls illuminate the entire place.
Shu Li opened her tender green eyes wide and stared in surprise at the "little Loli" in the beam of light in front of her.
The little Loli has blue wavy hair and wears a flowing long skirt. She has her eyes closed, her hands on her knees, and she is curled up and suspended in a blue beam of light.
Pulshi stood in front of the pillar of light and saluted the little girl respectfully. Then he said to the Elf King and Shu Li, "She is the Water Elf Funa."
Shu Li approached the beam of light, staring blankly at the water spirit. Confused, he asked, "She...she looks so weak?"
Not only was he weak, but his figure was also somewhat translucent.
What's going on?
Purshi sighed, not having the heart to tell the truth to the innocent little goblin.
The Elf King said, "She uses herself as energy to support the entire Snow Mountain Maze. This has consumed her strength for a long time, and she can hardly maintain her form."
"Ah?" Shu Li was surprised. "She...will she disappear?"
Unexpectedly, when the Water God created the Snow Mountain Maze, he used the Water Spirit as the source of power.
No wonder the interior of the snow mountain maze is filled with rich water elements. Each layer has its own characteristics, and only water elves can last for thousands of years.
He looked at the little Loli in the beam of light in a daze.
After finally arriving here and meeting the water spirit, I learned such a cruel truth.
The Elf King tapped the little elf's head soothingly and said, "As long as there is the element of water, she will not completely disappear. The reason she is weak is because of the imbalance of power."
The power released is greater than the power absorbed, supply exceeds demand, and there is naturally an imbalance.
Hearing that it wouldn't go away, Shu Li asked anxiously, "Is there any way to remedy it?"
Pulshi frowned and said, "We tried many ways, but all ended in failure."
Shu Li looked at the Elf King expectantly.
The king is omnipotent, I believe he will find a way.
Sure enough, the Elf King smiled and said, "It's actually not difficult. As long as someone helps share the burden for a while, and the water spirits regain their lost strength, they will be able to recover as before."
Purshi shook his head pessimistically: "We tried this method, but... it didn't work."
There were ten water-based magic gods in the small world. Each of them entered the light column to try to share the pressure. However, in less than half a day, they all came out with pale faces.
All their strength was drained away and they were almost exhausted. If the water spirit hadn't kicked them out, they would have turned into mummies long ago.
"Sperien." The Elf King called the little elf's name softly.
"Here." Shu Li immediately raised his head and chest and floated in front of the Elf King.
The Elf King looked at him softly. "Will you help?"
Shu Li was stunned and pointed at his nose. "Me?"
Even the God of Magic failed, how could he, a high-level magician, succeed?
Did the king think too highly of him?
However, since the king asked this, he must have his reasons.
Shu Li quickly adjusted his mindset, blinked, and asked, "How can I help?"
Puerxi was surprised and hesitated to speak.
The Elf King said gently, "I will temporarily awaken Funa and allow her to communicate with you. As long as you learn instant water magic, it won't be a problem."
When other magicians cast magic, they need time to chant the spell. A delay of a few seconds will result in untimely replenishment of magic power, and failure is understandable.
When Shu Li heard it, he understood instantly.
He said firmly, "Okay! Please awaken the water spirit."
The Elf King rarely took out his magic wand and approached the pillar of light.
"King..." Purshi said worriedly, "Please be careful."
Although he believed that the Elf King was very powerful, the light column drained magic power very quickly, and if it was not controlled properly, he would become a mummy.
The Elf King nodded, calmly stepped into the column of light, raised his magic wand, and chanted a spell.
In an instant, the water element rushed towards the light column frantically.
A deep blue beam of light appeared inside the light column and shot straight to the top.
That was the Elf King using his own power to share the pressure of the Water Elf.
At this moment, he became the center of the formation.
Shu Li clasped his hands together and stared nervously at the Elf King in the beam of light.
The blond man surrounded by blue light looked sacred and noble, making people feel moved.
Purshi raised his right hand, placed it over his chest, and bowed reverently.
As the Elf King released his power, the Water Elf gradually solidified its form. After an unknown amount of time, she slowly opened her eyes.
Shu Li held his breath, waiting for her to wake up.
Funa was conscious the entire time. She knew it the moment Purshi brought the Elf King and the goblins into the tower.
She was extremely excited to see the Elf King again after tens of thousands of years.
Before the Water God fell into a deep sleep, he told her that in the future, only the Elf King could destroy the God of Darkness.
As long as she waits hard for the Elf King to arrive, she will be free and leave here.
However, she waited for tens of thousands of years until she was almost exhausted.
Today, when she saw the Elf King leading a little goblin into the tower, she knew that her wait was not in vain.
It's all worth it.
However, after listening to the conversation between the Elf King and the goblin, she expressed doubts.
If she recognizes the goblin, the goblin will instantly cast magic?
Is this too hasty?
The Elf King did not give her a chance to think. She could not respond and could only watch as the Elf King stepped into the light column, released his magic power to replace her and temporarily became the center of the formation.
Funa had to wake herself up.
At this point, there seems to be no reason to object.
She believed that God had his own plans.
Perhaps, the great water god had already calculated this day.
So she opened her eyes, stretched her limbs, and looked calmly at the goblin outside the beam of light.
A senior wizard in his early twenties.
Shu Li looked at the water spirit curiously. After a while, he greeted her gracefully.
"Hello, I'm Sperian from the Fairy Forest. Nice to meet you."
Although Funa looks like a little girl in her teens, she has existed since the creation of the world. She looks at the young elf tenderly.
"Hello, little Sperian, I am Funa, the water spirit."
Shu Li said sincerely, "I have received the Elf King's blessing and the approval of the Wood Elf Fenris and the Fire Elf Sharo. May I ask if I can also receive your approval?"
Funa was a little surprised.
The little goblin was quite capable and actually persuaded Sharo and Fenris.
"Why do you want my approval?" she asked.
"I want to become stronger." Shu Li clenched his fists and said with a determined look, "I am determined to become a powerful hero and help the king fight against the God of Darkness and break the prophecy of the God of Time."
Although his prophetic dream showed darkness coming and his own death, he still wanted to try his best and move towards a bright future.
Everything depends on human effort.
Only by becoming stronger can you control your own destiny.
Funa remained silent and did not react to the little elf's heartfelt words.
Shu Li raised her hand and touched the hairpin on her head to remove the magic. In an instant, the delicate hairpin turned into a small green flower crown.
"Here are the three Horcruxes of the God of Time." Shu Li raised his head slightly and looked sincerely into the blue eyes of the Water Spirit. "Please believe me."
Funa felt the power of the God of Time and was deeply shocked.
She never imagined that the owner of the Horcrux chosen by the great God of Time would be a little goblin.
Although he was still very weak, the light on his body was extremely bright and dazzling.
Funa slowly extended her slender fingers and lightly touched the little elf's forehead, with a slight smile on her lips: "As you wish."
