Chapter 83 Complaining to the Elf King
"have no idea."
Ilio answered quickly.
Shu Li was stunned for a moment, clenching his fists, veins bulging on his forehead. If he couldn't beat him, he really wanted to pounce on him and punch him a few times.
Seeing the goblin's cheeks puffed up in anger, Ilio smiled cheerfully and said, "I don't know, but I've given you a new idea."
Shu Li took a deep breath to calm himself, then sat cross-legged on the vines. He stared at the dark-haired elf and asked, "I haven't obtained the Essence of Light, so why can I use silent magic to perform purification?"
Ilio replied, "We are the people of light, born with a natural affinity for light. We can summon light elements more easily than other elements. And—"
He tapped his own brow, then pointed at Shu Li's head, smiling, "Have you forgotten? You and I both received the king's blessing."
Shu Li was startled and subconsciously touched the small green crown on his head that had turned into a forehead ring.
The Elf King is the first elf created by the God of Light. He is hailed as the Son of Light by the world. He is like the essence of light. Being blessed by him is equivalent to gaining the recognition of the essence of light. Therefore, he can successfully cast the purification spell with silent magic.
I see!
No wonder he learned light magic so quickly and it was more powerful than other types of magic.
Saiya once lamented that he was a little elf favored by the God of Light, and he thought she was praising herself!
After listening to Ilio's words, Fang realized that there was another meaning.
The mother tree is also aware of this, so she is sure that he can successfully cast the silent purification spell, right?
Shu Li was very excited and wanted to obtain the essence of other natural elements.
Silent magic is too good for a magician who is prone to talking nonsense.
He gazed deeply at the dark-haired elf playing the harp leisurely, gritted his teeth, made a decision, and asked seriously, "Ilio, if I ask you to pinch my face, will you tell me the information about the elemental essence?"
Elio was stunned when he heard this. Looking at the blond elf's expression of "ready to die" he almost laughed out loud, but he held it back so as not to hurt the little guy's self-esteem.
Shu Li regretted it as soon as he finished speaking.
Looking at Ilio's bright eyes, he was worried that he would be beaten bald.
Wuuuuu~~~I hope he will show mercy.
Ilio sighed inwardly.
Leprechauns are truly the cutest little creatures in the world.
He wanted to pinch the little guy's tender face, but unfortunately...
Elio slowly put away his harp and dusted off his robe. Under Shu Li's intense gaze, he bent down and said with a smile, "As for the elemental essence, you can ask the king or consult ancient books in the library."
"Hey?" Shu Li tilted her head and looked at him.
Elio straightened up and stretched. "Oh, I have to get to work."
Without waiting for Shu Li to react, he jumped up, stepped on the branches, and ran away with a "whoosh whoosh".
Shu Li held her face, which had escaped the disaster, and was full of confusion.
“Dedede—”
The sound of unicorn hooves came closer.
Shu Li flapped his wings, flew into the air, and saw the Elf King walking towards the orchard.
The bright afternoon sun shone on his body, making his soft golden hair shine even more. The silver crown reflected a dazzling luster. He was wearing a gorgeous and exquisite white robe with the collar and cuffs embroidered with classical patterns. He exuded a holy and noble aura from head to toe, which was out of place in the orchard.
"King!" Shu Li greeted him happily.
The Elf King got off the unicorn's back gracefully, not minding the muddy ground beneath his feet. As he walked, the hem of his robe and cloak dragged on the ground, miraculously spotless and as white as before.
"Good afternoon, Sperien." The Elf King smiled and glanced at the basket full of fruit.
Shu Li followed his gaze and confessed honestly, "I picked these fruits when Ilio was showing off his silent magic to me."
The Elf King grasped the key point of his words: "Show off?"
"Yes." Shu Li covered her cheek and complained to Ilio, "He tried to pinch my face."
The Elf King frowned. "I'll make him mind his words and actions."
Shu Li secretly stuck out his tongue, thinking he'd call it a day. "But he told me that the essence of the five elements can help me successfully cast silent magic. King, do you know how to obtain the essence of the elements?"
"Elemental Essence?" The Elf King pondered. "During the War of the Gods, the elemental essences once helped me, but they later dissipated. I haven't seen them in ten thousand years."
"Huh?" Shu Li suddenly showed a look of disappointment. He thought Wang knew the whereabouts of the elemental essence!
Seeing the little elf's drooping ears, the Elf King soothed him softly, "To be precise, elemental essences are elemental spirits. They possess self-awareness and prefer places where the elements are most abundant."
Shu Li's hope was rekindled. "Then where is the element most abundant?"
The Austin continent is so vast that searching for the five elemental essences is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The Elf King said: "You need to judge for yourself."
"Okay!" Shu Li clenched his fists and said firmly, "I will definitely find the elemental essence."
With the goblin's extraordinary talent, it would take at least four to five hundred years of practice to become a god of magic.
Four or five hundred years was too long for him.
He wants to become a powerful hero as soon as possible, eliminate the dark forces, and find a way home.
Elemental spirits can help him, like a panacea, so of course he must do everything he can to get them.
The Elf King looked down at his young disciple, who was full of fighting spirit, and encouraged him: "You will find it."
Shu Li smiled at him with confidence.
He spent the entire afternoon diligently picking ripe fruits in the orchard, chanting spells until his mouth was dry and, as expected, his speech slipped.
Shu Li decisively finished her work and returned to the Crystal Castle with the Elf King to take a shower, eat, and participate in the elves' entertainment activities.
The elves' entertainment activities are relatively simple, nothing more than playing the piano, singing and dancing. Shu Li followed them and learned a lot of skills.
Fairy schools teach students step by step, with students learning poetry and music at different ages, but this is not the case in the Elf Kingdom.
The elves acted spontaneously, singing when they wanted to and dancing when they wanted to, without caring about the only underage fairy.
The first time Shu Li saw a couple dancing a duet, she felt a little embarrassed.
Although their physical movements were not intimate, their eyes were full of affection, desire and temptation, which made him unable to help but get goose bumps.
Elves' lovers are not limited to opposite sexes. As long as they are attracted to each other, they can be together forever even if they are of the same sex.
They are very loyal to their partners. Once they recognize each other, they will get married with the blessings of their tribe. If one of them dies, the other will often choose to be alone for the rest of his life.
As far as Shu Li knew, there were many elves who had lost their mates, and most of their partners had died in the war of gods ten thousand years ago.
Even though I am alone, I am willing to keep my promise and spend the rest of my life with it.
However, elves are immortal.
The rest of your life is eternity.
Shu Li didn't know how they could endure the loneliness and spend such a long time.
One day, he quietly asked this question to a single elf.
"Boring?" The elf winked and said to the goblin, "Maybe you should ask the king."
The Elf King has been single for tens of thousands of years and has the most say.
Shu Li smiled awkwardly.
How could he dare to ask such a personal question!
Naturally, it ended in nothing.
Nowadays, Shu Li is no longer surprised to see couples dancing.
He stood on a nearby table and learned the elves' dance moves to the beautiful music.
Every time I came to Elfland, I not only missed cultural classes, but also music and dance classes. My good friends helped me take notes for cultural classes, but I had to rely on myself for music and dance classes.
Shu Li studied very hard, striving to grasp the essence and get good grades in the exams.
Yes, after leaving the kindergarten class and entering the junior class, they have an assessment every month. If they fail, they will be punished, such as cleaning the playground, learning how to collect "nutrients" for the sacred tree, etc., which are not easy tasks.
"Sperian, do you want to dance with me?" The red-haired and golden-eyed Saya, wearing gorgeous clothes, elegantly invited the little guy at the table.
Couple dancing is also a must-learn lesson.
Shu Li was a little troubled. "Can we... dance together?"
The size difference is too big, they can’t interact!
Sai Ya smiled and said, "It's okay, I will cooperate with you."
Shu Li spread his wings, flew into the air, and gave her a gentleman's salute. "Thank you for your help."
Saya stretched out a slender finger. Shu Li hesitated for a moment, then grabbed it. Then, without him having to fly, he was brought directly to the dance floor.
The goblin and the elf performed a duet dance, attracting the attention of other elves. The elves around them stepped back at the same time to give them space to dance.
Suddenly becoming the center of attention, Shu Li became nervous and tried hard to recall the movements of the duet, not daring to make even the slightest mistake.
However, unfortunately, no matter how standard his dancing is, his body shape is still poor, and he cannot follow some moves.
For example, it is impossible for a male partner to put his arm around the female partner's waist.
"Hahaha, little Sperian, grow up quickly!"
The elves watching laughed good-naturedly.
"Sperian is still an intermediate magician, right?"
"A fairy must become a high-level magician before she can release her original power and change her body shape."
"If Sperienu works hard, he should be able to break through to the advanced level."
"A high-level magician at the age of ten is unprecedented."
"You guys, don't put pressure on the children."
“Happiness is the most important thing when growing up.”
"It might be better if Little Sperian and Thea exchanged dance steps."
Change dance steps?
Sai Ya's eyes lit up, and she said to Shu Li, "You dance the female steps, and I'll dance the male steps."
"Huh?" Shu Li hovered in the air, at a loss.
Isn't it a bit too much to ask a boy to dance the girls' steps?
He was only busy learning the men's steps and didn't learn the women's steps!
"Don't you know how? It's okay, I'll teach you." Siya was eager to try, with excitement flashing in her golden eyes.
Shu Li couldn't help but step back and wave her hands: "No, no, no... Let's not do that..."
He retreated too quickly and accidentally bumped into a solid wall. He hurriedly turned around and was surprised to find that the "wall" was the chest of the Elf King.
"Wang...I'm sorry..." Shu Li apologized.
The Elf King looked at him gently and asked, "Would you like to learn a duet?"
"Uh, yes, yes." Shu Li's face flushed slightly as she responded embarrassedly.
The Elf King glanced at Saiya who saluted him, put his arm around Shu Li, and led him to the table.
Shu Li was placed on the table, completely confused.
The Elf King put his index and middle fingers together on his right hand and tapped the tabletop, resembling two legs. He said in a low voice, "I'll teach you."
Shu Li stared at the fingers that were almost as tall as himself and swallowed.
Is this... finger dance?
He wants to dance with the Elf King's two fingers?
Just as he was in a daze, Ilio, who came to join in the fun, plucked the harp strings and beautiful music rang out.
The Elf King's fingers were slender and flexible, like a real person. He walked towards Shu Li with elegant steps and made an inviting gesture.
Shu Li forced the issue and started a duet dance with his fingers.
As I was dancing, I got into it without realizing it.
He never knew that fingers could perform so many difficult movements, the dance moves were so lifelike, the music was so well-timed, and there was a combination of hardness and softness.
Led by the Elf King's finger, she actually jumped out of the female step.
When the song ended, warm applause broke out all around.
"Great!" Saiya exclaimed.
Shu Li broke away from the music, wiped the sweat from his forehead, breathed slightly, and was praised by the elves. He felt a little proud amidst the embarrassment.
The entertainment activities ended, the elves dispersed, and Shu Li returned to his room yawning.
Stretching lazily, he pulled out a set of exquisite small tables and chairs from his storage ring and placed them on the long table against the wall. He pulled out the small chairs, sat down, took out a notebook, and began to write in his diary.
For ten years, Shu Li has never forgotten her original intention and has been persistently recording her life in the other world.
"Dear Mom, Dad, Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother... I miss you so much..."
The same old opening remarks are filled with longing for loved ones.
There was a hint of determination on his no longer childish face. The young goblin was fully focused, neatly writing a whole page of Chinese characters, recording everything that happened today.
He hopes that one day when he returns, his family will know everything about his time here through the diary, and he can use this opportunity to tell them that he is doing well.
After finishing his diary, he packed up his things, flew to the bed, sat cross-legged and entered into meditation.
Only by entering into meditation can one "see clearly" the family members in memory and review their every frown and smile.
After an unknown amount of time, he slowly opened his eyes.
The midnight moonlight poured in through the window like water, casting a bright silver light.
Shu Li turned his head to look out the window, turned off the magic stone lamp without hesitation, spread his wings and flew into the courtyard, came to the Elf Mother Tree, and looked at it in the moonlight.
The mother tree in front of me is no longer bare, and one-third of its branches are covered with emerald green leaves.
It was worth his five years of hard work to purify himself.
Yes, he eventually went to the Dark Elves' territory to purify the branches of the Mother Tree.
Originally he was determined not to take any more risks, but when he saw the newborn chicks hatching from the shell, he suddenly changed his mind.
After that, it colluded with the mother tree - oh, that's wrong, they worked together to steal the fruits.
