Chapter 89 Asking the Elf King about Time Travel
Purification?
When did he purify the Elf King's comrades who died on the battlefield?
Shu Li was confused and stared at the Elf King with a dull look.
Ilio, sitting across from him, was amused by his adorable expression and kindly explained, "The ancient battlefield ruins in the north are the burial site of a vast number of dark undead. If left unsealed, they would wreak havoc. Originally, the wood elves could have helped purify them, but after the war, they disappeared. The elves and goblins who died in the battle had no choice but to give up the chance to return to the heavens and use their own strength to suppress the dark undead. This is why the area has become a barren wasteland, uninhabited for millennia."
The more Shu Li listened, the more surprised she became, recalling what she had said to him when she met the Wood Elf.
"Didn't you bring me here?"
Before he could figure it out, he was suddenly infused with a tremendous force, gradually losing consciousness. Now, after hearing Ilio's explanation and considering the words of the wood elf, a strange idea emerged in his mind.
The reason why the wood elf disappeared ten thousand years ago was because he brought it out of the illusion?
If this is true, then the illusion is not an illusion, but a real past.
Elio looked at the little fellow's astonishment and continued, "You successfully summoned the Wood Spirits, purifying all the undead and restoring life to that land. The departed elves and goblins were freed and finally returned to the embrace of the God of Light."
In the restaurant, all the elves stood up, faced Shu Li, raised their right hands and placed them in front of their chests, paying him the highest respect.
Shu Li was flattered to see so many elves, including the Elf King, saluting him. He stood up in panic, waving his hands repeatedly and speaking incoherently: "No, no, no, I... I didn't do anything... I was just trying my luck... and I didn't expect it to succeed. Actually, I... was just being lazy... I wanted to gain the recognition of the Wood Elves... and learn silent magic..."
His face flushed, his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he lowered his head in guilt and shame.
The elves looked at the bewildered young elf affectionately. The Elf King reached out and touched his hair, praising him gently: "Sperien is the luckiest and kindest little elf."
Shu Li's face turned even redder.
"I...I'm still hungry...eat, eat!"
He sat down quickly, holding a wheat cake in his left hand and a piece of fruit in his right hand, and started eating voraciously, trying to use eating to hide his nervousness and embarrassment.
The advantage of growing bigger is that your appetite increases, and you can eat a lot of delicious food. Unlike when you are small, you will be full after eating two big fruits.
Seeing this, the elves all laughed kindly.
When Shu Li heard the laughter, the tips of his ears turned red and blood dripped from his mouth, and he almost buried his face in the food plate.
The Elf King brought him a bowl of throat-soothing nectar and said considerately, "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."
"Hmm, hmm!" Shu Li finished the food in his hand, picked up the nectar, took a big sip, and sighed.
You know what, he almost choked because he ate too much and the food was too dry. Wang's bowl of nectar solved his urgent problem.
After drinking the nectar, he licked his lips contentedly.
His stomach was full, his shame vanished, and he regained his composure. Seeing the elves concentrating on eating, he moved closer to the Elf King and asked in a low voice, "King, I have a question for you."
The Elf King paused drinking the nectar, tilted his head and replied, "Okay."
Ilio and the other elves immediately pricked up their ears and pretended to eat and drink.
Shu Li glanced at Ilio across from him, seeing that he was enjoying his meal, and spoke with confidence, "King, when I went north, I encountered a high-level magical beast named Althorp. It gave me a badge..."
He took out the badge, placed it on the table, and pointed to the seal on it.
"Is this yours?"
The Elf King wiped his slender fingers with a handkerchief, picked up the badge and examined it from front to back. After a moment, he said, "Yes, this badge belongs to me."
Shu Li said in surprise: "Alsopp told me that this badge was found near the basin when it was a child."
The childhood of high-level magical beasts must have been at least a thousand years ago, right?
The Elf King handed the badge to Shu Li and pondered, "The basin is the center of the formation that suppresses the dark undead. The badge contains my power, which supports the magic circle. Eight hundred years ago, the badge disappeared, and the magic circle's power weakened. To prevent the undead from escaping, I have to reinforce it every six months... It turns out that a demonic beast has taken it."
Shu Li was dumbfounded.
Even someone as powerful as the Elf King could not have guessed that an important magical instrument would be picked up by a small monster.
Lizards can dig holes in the ground. When they were young, they were probably naughty and dug a hole to the bottom of the basin. They found the badge in the eye of the array and thought they had dug up a treasure, so they happily stole it.
By accident, he met a giant lizard and gave it a red crystal flower seed in exchange for a badge that turned into an iron lump.
As luck would have it, he chanted a purification spell towards the basin and accidentally activated the formation. The badge sensed the magic circle and suddenly became hot, so he took it out to check, but the badge was too hot and he lost his grip and it fell into the basin.
The badge returned to the center of the formation, activated the formation, and triggered the illusion.
Wrong, it should be that a time tunnel was opened, sending him to the battlefield ten thousand years ago.
Shu Li organized his words and told the Elf King in detail with a serious expression how he encountered the giant lizard, how he triggered the formation, and the process of traveling back ten thousand years.
He must figure out why he is often seen by the "people" in the illusion. What is going on?
Last time, the Elf King said he hadn't seen him. What about this time? Not only did he talk to the Elf King, he also introduced himself. The King couldn't deny it again, could he?
Shu Li stared intently at the noble blond elf, hoping to get an answer from him.
This is very important to him.
If I really have the power to travel through time and space, does that mean that as long as I find the right method, I will be able to go back to my original world and reunite with my family?
The Elf King met the young goblin's persistent and expectant gaze, frowned, and whispered, "It's a pity that I never had any encounter with you during that battle."
Shu Li pressed on, "Really, really not?"
The Elf King reached out and stroked his hair, patiently explaining, "Your guess about the badge was correct. It did inadvertently trigger the magic circle. As for why the Wood Elf suddenly appeared, perhaps only she knows. You can ask her in person."
"She said I brought her back." Shu Li puffed out her cheeks, her eyebrows knotted with worry.
The Elf King said: "Time is a very strange thing. Perhaps ten thousand years for us is just a moment for others."
Shu Li was stunned.
What did the king mean by this?
Ilio played with a grape-like fruit and said lazily, "Little Sperian, think again about the first few lines of the Song of Creation."
Shu Li turned and looked at him.
Could it be that I was whispering with the Elf King, and my deskmate Ilio was listening the whole time?
But why "Song of Creation" again?
"Spirit of water, spirit of fire, spirit of wood, spirit of wind, spirit of earth, elemental spirits from ancient times, please open the gate of time and space and lead us to the glorious age when the gods gather together..."
Shu Limo sang it twice and suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"O ancient elemental spirits, please open the gate of time and space!"
"Elemental spirits can travel through time and space?" he blurted out.
Ilio winked at him. "The poetry of the Elven is true history."
Shu Li immediately thought of the poems related to himself, wrinkled his nose awkwardly, and came to a conclusion: it was not him who traveled through time and space, but the wood elf.
What he saw was still an illusion, but the wood elves heard his prayers through time and space, and arrived ten thousand years later when the war ended.
That is why the Elf King said that our ten thousand years may be just a moment to others.
Shu Li pulled her hair, lamenting the willfulness and awesomeness of the elemental elves.
The battle had just ended, and the dark undead on the battlefield had not yet been purified, so she ran away like a boss, forcing the Elf King to set up a magic circle, and the souls of the elves and fairies who died in the battle suppressed the dark undead.
However, if you really think about it, he is also the culprit.
If I hadn't gone to the battlefield ruins to summon the wood spirit yesterday, would this not have happened?
It involves a time paradox, which is too complicated to justify.
"Don't think too much." The Elf King's heavenly voice rang in his ears. "Let everything take its course. God will guide us on the right path."
Shu Li put down her hand that was pulling her hair, tilted her head back, and stared at the perfect face of the Elf King.
"Everything that doesn't make sense will eventually have a reasonable explanation." The Elf King tapped the young goblin's chest with his finger. "Follow your heart. As long as you believe it's right, do it. If there's a problem you can't solve, I'll help you solve it."
Shu Li's chest felt hot from his touch, and her heart beat faster and faster.
"I want to find all the elemental spirits." He said seriously.
The elemental spirits are the key to his return home. As long as they are gathered together, the door to time and space can be opened.
"Okay." The Elf King nodded.
Shu Li was excited.
How could he not be happy when he suddenly found a way to go home?
As for why the "people" in the illusion saw him, there was no need to worry. As the Elf King said, the irrational was rational, and one day in the future he would know the answer.
The most important thing for him to do now is to improve his strength and prepare for finding elemental elves.
After figuring it out, he calmly grabbed a fruit, opened his mouth wide and took a bite. His left cheek bulged as he ate with relish.
After what happened last night, he was promoted to a senior magician, one step closer to becoming the God of Magic.
If I had more adventures, would I improve faster?
Shu Li began to look forward to the adventurous life in the future.
After breakfast, he went to the library with the Elf King to learn the theory of magic. He took an hour's lunch break and read the stack of books carefully.
The god of luck did not favor him every day.
I read a book for the whole afternoon but found no new clues.
In the afternoon, he went to the ranch.
The advantage of getting bigger is that I can finally learn how to herd and milk.
Deer and cows, animals unique to the Elf Kingdom, are very docile. He could ride his unicorn in a circle and they would automatically return to the fence without even needing to whip them.
When he was milking them, they stood still and didn't lose their temper no matter how hard he tried.
Shu Li was in a mess when milking for the first time and splashed milk all over his face. Seeing this, Ilio pointed at him and laughed.
Damn it!
Shu Li puffed up his cheeks, wiped the milk stains off his face, squatted in front of the deer's belly, and continued working.
Hard work pays off. With his unremitting efforts, he finally filled a bucket with milky white milk and completed today's task.
As he was about to go back, Ilio came towards him carrying two long sticks.
"Sperian, do you want revenge?" he asked with a smile.
"What?" Shu Li was puzzled.
"Now," Ilio threw a long staff at him, "come, hit me with it."
Shu Li caught the long stick, a little bit unable to understand Ilio's train of thought.
There are actually such guys in the world who are looking for trouble. They personally provide weapons and beg others to beat them.
"Are you sure?" he asked in disbelief.
Ilio nodded. "Affirmative."
Shu Li squeezed the long stick and assumed an attacking stance. "I really hit you, huh?"
Ilio stood straight, tightening his grip on the long stick, ready to be beaten, and urged, "Hit me quickly."
Since he said so, how could Shu Li give up such a good thing?
"Hi—I'm here—"
He swung his long staff and struck the dark-haired elf fiercely.
"Bang--"
His long staff collided with the long staff in Ilio's hand with a loud sound.
"Didn't you say you would let me hit you?" Shu Li asked in disbelief.
Elio smiled slyly. "Didn't I say I wouldn't fight back?"
The next second, he swung his stick back.
"Oh my god, I don't want to play anymore—"
Shu Li screamed and ran across the grassland with a long stick in his hand.
Are you kidding me? Can his fighting power compare to the strongest elf warrior? Is he just going to run away and get beaten?
Damn Ilio, he actually cheated, that’s too much!
But I was stupid enough to believe his lies.
Woo wah wah wah ~~~~~
The Elf King stood in front of the ranch house, watching the young goblin running and screaming. The black-haired elf chasing him let out water all the way, poking his back with a long stick from time to time, scaring the young goblin so much that he jumped and screamed.
"Isn't he a fairy? He can fly with wings."
A ball of green light appeared on the Elf King's shoulder.
The Elf King raised his lips slightly but did not answer.
The green light materialized, becoming a miniature version of the Wood Spirit.
"Fris, why would you lie to a cute little goblin?"
The Elf King listened to the laughter in the distance and said softly, "He should grow up happily instead of taking on responsibilities that shouldn't be his responsibility too early."
The Wood Elf sighed, "Perhaps this time, you are right."
