Chapter 96 Returning to the Divine Tree and Showing Off a Little
After the Elf Mother Tree grew small fruits, all the elves were in an excited state. They held grand banquets every day like a festival, with singing and dancing, and it was very lively.
Shu Li studied for half a month. On the last day, under the elves' burning gazes of reluctance to leave, he nimbly jumped onto Dore's back and fled from the Crystal City.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be beaten up.
The elves were like chickens with their blood pumped up. They always wanted to take advantage of him and gave him some expensive gifts from time to time. He was really flattered.
After growing in size, riding on Dore's back, you can have a broad view and take in the beautiful scenery of the Elf Kingdom.
When passing through the Daya Forest, Shu Li signaled Duo Lei to land.
He wants to collect Thunder Flame Grass.
Before, I was small and it was very hard to dig herbs. Now that I am bigger, it is not so easy to dig herbs.
Shu Li bought a handy shovel from a store in Crystal City. He squatted on the grass, digging one plant at a time. In less than ten minutes, he had dug more than 30 plants. If it hadn't taken him a while to find them, he could have dug up hundreds in one go.
Dore squatted on the branch of a huge tree, tucked his head in and pretended to be asleep.
In order to escape... oh no, to hurry on his journey, Shu Li set out early in the morning. Duo Lei was sleep-deprived, so he took the opportunity to catch up on some sleep while Duo Lei was digging herbs.
Half an hour later, Shu Li dug up more than a hundred Thunder Flame Grasses and other miscellaneous herbs.
Yesterday, when he was purifying the Mother Tree and Fruit No. 2, Ephite gave him a list of herbs that only grew in the Fairy Forest and the Elf Kingdom.
He paid a huge deposit, which made Shu Li's eyes widen. She wanted to refuse, but the other party insisted, so she had to accept it reluctantly.
Five hundred gold coins!
So many!
It was five times more than the reward he received for the Thunder Flame Grass mission this time.
There is no shortage of herbs in the Fairy Forest. They are everywhere and you can grab a handful. They may be worth a lot in the outside world, but they are very cheap inside.
Shu Li felt a little guilty about taking the money, so he decided to help him collect as many herbs as possible.
"Dore——"
He shouted, and the dozing Secken bird opened its eyes alertly, spread its wings, and instantly flew down from the branch and landed on the grass.
Shu Li jumped onto its back. "Let's go back to the sacred tree."
"Chiu~"
Dore responded with a sound, flapped his wings, and flew upwards, passing through the dense branches, rushing out of the forest, approaching the clouds, and flying towards the sacred tree like lightning.
On the sacred tree, the goblins were flying around busily.
A new batch of cubs are about to leave the gestation house, and they are making final preparations, such as setting up new dormitories for the eight fairy babies.
When Shu Li came back, he still maintained his great figure.
Dore landed on the school playground. He jumped off the bird's back lightly. The young fairies who had just finished class were all stunned when they saw him.
“Ahhhhhh—”
"Sperian? Is he Sperian?"
"You're kidding, right? Sperian is only ten years old, how can he grow bigger?"
"But he is Sperian!"
"Sperian has been promoted to a high-level magician!"
“That’s amazing!”
The little elves like Dizio, who had just finished class, heard the commotion on the playground and looked out the window curiously. When they saw the "giant" Shu Li, they were stunned at first, and then screamed excitedly.
"Sperian is back!"
“It’s gotten bigger too!”
"Oh my god! Sperian is so good!"
"Come on, let's go and take a look."
Twenty-four young fairies rushed out of the classroom, flapped their wings at a high frequency, flew to the playground, and circled around Shu Li.
"Sperian, Sperian, why have you grown bigger?" Angel opened his amber eyes, turning his head up and down and left and right, looking at Shu Li in surprise, his beautiful silver hair flying.
Shu Li grinned, feeling a bit proud, and stood there, letting the students stare at her. "I'm a high-level magician now. If I regain my original power, I'll get bigger!"
"How did you become a senior magician?" Disio landed on his shoulder, stood on tiptoe, and asked close to his ear.
"This... is a long story." Shu Li tilted his head and raised his hands to cover his ears. "If you speak normally, I can hear you."
Budno grabbed his cloak and swung back and forth like a swing. "Sperian, your cloak is so beautiful. Where did you buy it?"
Shu Li lifted up the cloak, grabbed Budno that was hanging on it, placed it in his palm, and imitated Ilio's movements, poking his face with his fingers.
Budno was knocked down all of a sudden. He was stunned for a few seconds, flapped his wings twice, and quickly got away from Shu Li's clutches.
Shu Li chuckled, causing Budno to make faces at him.
I never thought that after Sperien went to the Elf Kingdom, he was led astray by Ilio!
Shu Li spread his hands, looking innocent, and answered Budno's question: "The clothes, cloak, and jewelry were all prepared for me by the elves."
“That’s great!”
The other young goblins said enviously.
Clothes that can be made bigger or smaller are not cheap!
Many adult fairies who heard the news landed on nearby branches to watch, and exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
"Sperian is indeed different."
"A ten-year-old high-level magician is unprecedented!"
"I thought Kumandi's promotion to a senior magician at the age of fifteen was already a genius enough, but I didn't expect Sperian to surprise us even more."
"The king said long ago that he has an extremely high talent."
"Awakening seven types of magic at the same time is a unique advantage!"
"I really want to know how the little guy leveled up. Did he have some adventure?"
"Hey, are we having a symposium this afternoon?"
“Good idea!”
Shu Li sneezed loudly, sending several goblins flying in front of him. Fortunately, the goblins reacted quickly and nimbly avoided his "saliva", rolling several times in the air to stabilize their bodies.
"No... I'm sorry..." Shu Li rubbed his nose and said apologetically.
Who was thinking of him? Otherwise, why would he sneeze?
Don't let it be the elves!
He had finally escaped from the Elf Kingdom and didn't want to leave so quickly.
Shu Li had shown off enough and retracted his original power. After a beam of dazzling light, his body shrank back a few inches.
The other little goblins gathered around, chattering and asking a bunch of questions. Shu Li answered them patiently until the bell rang, and then the little goblins returned to the classroom one after another.
Ores, who teaches dance, and Leah, who teaches music, entered the classroom together and looked at Shu Li with smiles on their faces.
"Sperian, congratulations on becoming a high-level magician."
"Thank you, Ores, and thank you, Leah." Shu Li scratched the back of his head. "I didn't expect to be promoted so quickly."
According to the plan, he would at least break through to the advanced level after the age of fifteen, just like Jingjing, the top student. However, he unexpectedly gained the recognition of the Wood Elf and broke through his limits like a rocket.
It's incredible.
Ores's azure eyes twinkled, and he raised the corners of his mouth: "I'm looking forward to your story."
Shu Li was stunned for a moment, a chill ran down his spine, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Leah coughed twice, took out the harp, and gently plucked it with her fingers, playing a beautiful tune.
Ores clapped his hands and said loudly, "Young men, use your own magic to move the tables and chairs to the side of the classroom."
“Okay!”
The goblins responded in unison, took out their magic wands and skillfully cast spells. For a moment, the classroom was filled with the sound of chanting spells.
The twenty-five sets of tables and chairs seemed to come alive. Under the influence of magic, they moved automatically, in a chaotic yet orderly manner, and were stacked against the wall in order.
Ores saw the neatly arranged tables and chairs and praised, "Excellent."
The little goblins stood in the middle of the empty classroom, each of them proudly puffing out their little chests.
Ores lifted his waist-length light golden hair, spread the light yellow cicada wings behind him, turned his eyes, and stretched out his hand towards Shu Li.
"Sperian, let me test the dance you learned in the Elven Kingdom."
"Uh... okay, okay." Shu Li sighed softly, walked in front of Ores, raised his right hand to cover his left chest, and made the gesture of a male partner inviting a female partner to dance.
During the half month in the Elf Kingdom, his dancing skills improved by leaps and bounds, especially in the last few days. The elves held banquets every day and he was dragged to dance, and his calves almost cramped up from dancing.
Ores raised his eyebrows and showed a charming smile.
The little one seemed quite confident! Not only did he invite me to a duet, he even took the initiative to do the male steps.
As an excellent dancer, Ores doesn't care what dance steps he performs.
Leah twirled her fingers nimbly, playing a light tune.
The music of fairies and elves is similar, and the elves often dance this duet. Shu Li dances naturally to the music.
Ores's limbs were flexible and he danced in a female step to match his rhythm.
The young goblins watching opened their mouths in surprise.
Sperian dances well!
Although he was a head shorter than Ores, the man danced very gracefully, with every movement just right. He took care of his female partner meticulously, and the overall look was pleasing to the eye.
After the dance was over, Shu Li took a breath, took a step back, and bowed gentlemanly to mark the end.
Ores looked down at him and praised him, "You dance very well."
Shu Li said modestly, "It's the elves who taught me well."
Ores blinked and said, "May I know which elf taught you this?"
Shu Li hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his fingers and counted: "Saya, Ilio, Rowling, Lanqi... and the king."
There were so many elves, both male and female, who wanted to teach him how to dance a duet. They lined up every day to invite him, and he was very busy, sometimes dancing the male steps, sometimes the female steps.
In the following days, banquets were held continuously and more elves invited him to dance with him in duet. He could not bear it any longer and asked the Elf King for help.
The result was that he danced the women's steps for three consecutive days.
It would be too sad to talk too much, so Shu Li was determined not to reveal the details of her life in the Elf Kingdom to the fairies.
After finally escaping back to the sacred tree, when Ores invited him to dance, he of course wanted to dance the male steps.
Ores raised his eyebrows in understanding and reached out to touch Shu Li's head. "Thank you for your hard work."
The elves covet goblin cubs every day. If Sperian goes to the elf kingdom alone, isn't that like a lamb falling into the clutches of the big bad wolf?
It’s good enough that I didn’t get my skin peeled off.
After lunch, Shu Li did not go back to the dormitory to rest, but instead lay on the table and frantically copied notes.
After missing classes for half a month, his three friends took turns taking notes for him, which filled up almost two large books. Shu Li felt dizzy looking at the densely packed words.
Everything else was fine, but the new language he had just learned was extremely painful for him.
As early as three years ago, he had learned the common language of the continent, and then learned the mermaid language and the dragon language. After finally finishing them, he learned the dwarven language, the winged people language, and the goblin language.
In short, there are too many languages and it’s endless.
Now, the notes he copied were in Dwarvish.
Shu Lisheng copied and took notes with a hopeless look on his face, his head aching so much that it felt like it was about to explode.
Language is always his natural enemy!
After finally finishing copying, he slumped down on the table, his eyes full of stars.
After lunch break, the little elves returned to the classroom and saw Shu Li lying half-dead on the table. They all showed sympathy.
Sperian is good at everything except languages.
“Dangdangdang——”
The bell rang, and Elsa stepped into the classroom door on time. She looked around and saw the blonde elf lying on the table with his soul almost out of his body. A smile flashed in her golden eyes.
"Hey cuties, everyone's going to the playground."
"Aisha, what are you doing on the playground?" Budno asked doubtfully.
Elsa smiled kindly, "Elder Fedro is holding a symposium and wants to hear about Sperian's adventures in the Elven Kingdom."
"Wow! Great—"
The goblins clapped excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Shu Li sat up in shock from his dying illness, his eyes dull and incredulous.
