Chapter 261: Confusing
Sometimes, the closer you get to the truth, the more unbelievable it is.
Because people tend to instinctively believe that the truth cannot be discovered so easily, Shu Li overturned his own guesses again and again.
And now, through touch, he grasped an important clue.
The embrace of an elf and a human are surprisingly similar!
Whether it's the width of the chest, the curvature of the arms, or the posture of holding people, they are all exactly the same.
The only difference is the smell they emit.
The scent of the Elf King is very light, like the pure and elegant moon grass. You can only smell it when you get close. It is comfortable and peaceful, making people involuntarily indulge in it.
In contrast, Ace's scent is much stronger, a unique incense made from the flame flower, giving people a warm, friendly and romantic feeling.
It was because of the different smell that Shu Li couldn't connect them together.
"Are you okay?"
The Elf King's heavenly voice rang in my ears.
Shu Li tried hard to clear his sleepy mind.
Yes, there are also obvious differences in their voices. The sound quality, voice line, and intonation are all different.
Furthermore, besides their blonde hair and green eyes, their facial features and ages were also very different.
However, Ilio had once told him that advanced disguises could even change gender, not to mention age, height, and appearance.
But now, Shu Li couldn't convince herself based on the similar touch alone.
More evidence must be found to confirm the guess in my mind.
Shu Li forced herself to calm down, stood up, and left the Elf King's arms. "It's okay... I just want to sleep."
He yawned involuntarily.
Sai Ya came over and said with concern, "It's ten o'clock in the evening in the courtyard now. It's really time for the kid to go to bed. It's too troublesome to go back and forth. Why don't you stay and have a good sleep? I'll wake you up when it's time."
"This..." Shu Li's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was hesitant.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance of the hall, attracting everyone's attention.
"Welcome, Your Highness Harmon."
The elves near the gate greeted the burly, handsome man politely.
"Hahaha, what a lively place! It seems I've arrived at the perfect time." Dragon King Harmon entered the hall with great energy, walked up to the Elf King, and saluted him respectfully. "Teacher, excuse me for interrupting you."
The Elf King smiled: "No problem."
After Harmon finished his greeting, he turned to look at the yawning goblin, a hint of surprise flashing in his silver eyes.
"Sperian, you're back? Where's Amanda?"
He looked around but didn't see his stupid brother.
Shu Li rubbed his sore eyes and replied, "I'm the only one back. Amanda is still at the magic academy."
Harmon raised his handsome eyebrows and roughly guessed that he had a shortcut to return. After all, the Elf King was very powerful and must have magical props that could cross space.
"When will you return to the magic academy?" he asked.
"Well, for a while." After thinking about it, Shu Li decided to go back to the academy to sleep.
"That's great." Harmon took out an exquisite storage bag from his storage ring and handed it to Shu Li. "Here are some sea beasts I just caught. Could you please bring them to Amanda?"
"Okay." Shu Li took the storage bag and sighed. Harmon was such a thoughtful brother, replenishing his brother with fresh seafood in a timely manner.
Amanda is in for a treat.
After putting away the storage bag, he said goodbye to the Elf King, rubbed against the goblins, made an appointment with the elf cub to meet tomorrow, and left the hall in a hurry, yawning.
"Oh my, wait a minute--" Farm, whose belly was round and bulging, found that he was about to leave, and instantly turned into a red light and went into the Seal of the God of Fire.
After Shu Li left, the Elf King glanced at Sai Ya, who understood and clapped her hands. "Little cuties, it's time to go to the wheat fields and work!"
The goblins finally remembered the real purpose of their visit to the Elf Kingdom. They had played, eaten, and listened to stories, and they could no longer be lazy.
Twenty-one goblins plus eight goblin cubs followed Sia obediently to the wheat field.
The elf cub followed at the end of the group, looking like he wanted to go too, and was grabbed by Helena by the collar.
"Israel, we should go to class."
"Ah-oh!" Israel puffed out his cheeks and looked dejected.
Helene ruffled his hair and said gently, "When you learn magic, you can play with the goblins."
Yes, for the elves, the goblins go to the wheat fields not to work but to play.
The wheat fields of the Elf Kingdom are located in the plains and cover a vast area. Even an elf at the level of a god of magic would need two days to harvest them.
It would be good enough for the little goblin to mow ten acres of land a day.
After the children and cubs left the hall, the Elf King returned to the throne with a solemn expression. The other elves gathered in front of the throne, all with a murderous look on their faces.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn, and Harmon was completely confused.
"What happened?"
Dagmon looked at the bewildered Dragon King and said in a low voice, "The prophecy of darkness truly engulfing the continent has come true ahead of schedule."
The Dragon King was shocked.
prophecy?
Tens of thousands of years ago, Ronos Crook, the god of time and space, predicted that darkness would sweep across the entire Austin continent, the gods would fall, the light would disappear, and all living things would become slaves of the god of darkness.
The war of the gods ten thousand years ago was only the beginning of the prophecy; the real dark age has not yet arrived.
Now, feeling the solemn atmosphere in the hall, Harmon's mood suddenly became heavy.
Last time, with the help of the gods, they barely managed to seal the God of Darkness. This time, we only have the support of the various races on the continent. How should we deal with it?
Shu Li emerged from the branches of the mother tree, flapped his wings, and flew unsteadily into his room. He was too lazy to even wash up and threw himself directly onto the bed.
"Woo woo woo~~"
Buried in the soft quilt, I feel so happy and comfortable.
He yawned, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, and he closed his eyes and went to sleep peacefully.
After a moment, he forced himself to open his eyes, released his perception, and quietly seeped into the bedroom opposite.
Although it was wrong to peek, he wanted to confirm whether Ace was there.
If Ace is really the Elf King, he must not have returned yet.
It is a rare opportunity for Harmon to come, and the Elf King must entertain him out of respect for guests.
So, as long as there was no one in the bedroom, his guess would come true.
Shu Li clenched his fists and nervously expanded his perception. He passed through the living room, through the wall, and entered Ace's bedroom, and immediately headed for the bed.
Huh?
There's someone on the bed!
There is someone on the bed!
The quilt was bulging, and the person on the bed was lying on his side facing the window, breathing evenly and sleeping soundly.
Shu Li immediately withdrew his perception, clasped his hands together, looked apologetic, and his sleepiness was almost gone.
Ace is not the Elf King!
He relied on the spatial channel in the roots of the mother tree to travel quickly between the Elf Kingdom and the Magic Academy, and it only took him half a minute.
But teleportation magic has limitations.
The greater the distance, the longer it takes to teleport.
Even if the Elf King's teleportation technique is perfect, it cannot be faster than the space channel of the mother tree.
Shu Li held his confused head and rolled over in the quilt.
After rolling around for a while, he was so tired that he lay on the quilt and gasped for breath.
Forget it, he decided to give up.
Such a complicated question is not suitable for the little goblin to think about.
The most urgent thing is to go to sleep!
I have to get up early tomorrow to branch out the mother tree and clean the fruits!
The appearance of the Demon Lord gave him a sense of urgency. He had previously felt he had plenty of time and could proceed according to plan, but now he felt the urgency was imminent and he had to move the fruit as quickly as possible.
As for whether Ace is the Elf King... there is no point in worrying about it. What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true.
As the Elf King said, follow your heart, do what you desire, and let nature take its course.
After figuring it out, I felt sleepy and was suddenly summoned by Zhou Gong.
In the bedroom opposite, the person on the bed moved, threw back the quilt, and stretched.
After a moment, a faint light came on in the room.
Elio got out of bed, took off the golden wig on his head, and circled the goblin's bedroom with his more advanced perception, revealing a cunning smile.
The little guy's detection ability is not good enough!
Not sure what was going on, they retreated as if running away. They were simple and cute.
Wang Zhen is contradictory.
Since you are not disguising yourself, why don't you want to be discovered by the goblin immediately?
She actually used telepathic magic to ask him for a small favor.
The teacher has given the order, and as a disciple I have no choice but to obey. I just hope that the little goblin will not blame him after knowing the truth.
Ilio made his bed and sat cross-legged on the floor in meditation. After waiting for half an hour, he sensed the magical fluctuations of the teleportation array and teleported away.
Shu Li slept until five in the morning and woke up in a daze to the sound of the mother tree's branches knocking against the window glass.
He lay in the warm bed, reluctant to get up, rubbing himself against the bed, listening to the rhythmic knocking sounds, and almost fell asleep again. He woke up suddenly, climbed out of the bed, and flew to the bathroom while yawning.
After washing up, I felt much more awake.
He patted his face, which was washed white by warm water, flapped his gauze-like wings, and flew to the window.
Good morning, Oenomisis.
He greeted the mother tree in his mind.
'Good morning, Sperian.'
Shu Li looked at the sky outside, where only a ray of morning light was visible, and encouraged himself.
Persistence is victory!
We must purify the mother tree, transfer all the fruits, and end the continuation of the dark elves before the Dark God breaks the seal.
The race that betrayed the Elf King should not become the running dogs of the Dark God and threaten the Elf King in turn.
He crawled into the branches of the mother tree and quickly reached Wanaku.
Although it was already past eight in the morning in Wanaku, the sun was already scorching hot, burning my body.
Shu Li skillfully hid under the leaves, holding a high-level magic wand in his hand, and quickly recited the silent purification spell.
When he was purifying the fruit, two figures appeared at the gate of the courtyard.
Shu Li suddenly stopped the magic, lay on the tree branch, restrained his breath, and observed the ground below.
It's Ephite and a dark elf cub.
Efit returned to Kuwana so soon!
Shuli curiously stuck out his little head and observed the cub following Efit.
It was not Lannuo or Luke, but another little guy who was the same age as them.
Shu Li knew him.
This dark elf cub is called Yagri, he is eleven years old this year, he is calm and composed, with a stern childish face, he looks quite mature beyond his years.
Sometimes Ephet would bring him to the mother tree to count the fruits.
He held a notebook in his hand and recorded meticulously, not feeling that this was a boring job at all.
Recently, in order to find Lanno and Luke, the task of counting the fruits fell on Yagri.
Shu Li observed him for a week and was very impressed with his abilities.
The child seemed to know that some fruits were not included in the record and never made a mistake.
And those fruits were exactly the fruits that Shu Li was purifying.
Efit looked up at the top branch and, unsurprisingly, saw the goblin waving at him.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Efit?" Yager looked up in confusion, feeling the change in the aura of the elders around him.
Has the mother tree grown new fruit?
Efit's smile faded, and he said seriously, "You did a great job. The data was recorded very accurately."
Even the most mature cub couldn't help but feel happy when being praised.
"I...I will keep working hard." Yager said seriously.
"Hmm." Efit patted his head, "Start counting!"
"Okay~" Yagri took out a small notebook and counted the fruits with Efit.
Shu Li supported her cheek with one hand and held the wind chime with the other, lying on the branch under the cover of leaves, waiting.
It's difficult for him to work with the dark elf cub around.
More than ten minutes later, the big and small dark elves finished counting the fruits and the record ended.
"Yageri, you go back first." Efit said to the cub.
"Yes." Yager said nothing more, put away the notebook, and left the courtyard obediently.
Efit waited until he was far away, then gently pinched the ornament on her earlobe.
"Be careful, there are necromancers and unknown monsters heading to the Wobba Canyon."
Shu Li was surprised when Efit's voice came from the wind chimes.
"Monster?"
There are actually monsters!
"Yes." Efit frowned slightly as he recalled the scary man he met the night before.
Only monsters possess such a strong dark power.
