◎ Jiang Li's Journey to Another World 10 ◎
Countless rays of attack magic hit the defensive barrier.
The elves soon discovered that the human who attacked the Elf Forest alone was a powerful magician. Ordinary attacks could not break through his defensive magic. Under the joint attack of countless elves, Jiang Li was a little flustered, but he could handle it. The elves had
to start using magic with more destructive power.
Magic attacks came in overwhelming force, and Jiang Li only felt that his defensive barrier was under dense attacks like raindrops. He had to increase his magic output to deal with the airtight attacks.
But in this kind of wheel battle, no matter how vast his magic power was, it would be consumed.
While dealing with the attack in a panic, Jiang Li used magic to raise his voice and apologized loudly: "I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!"
The intensive attacks did not stop. With a "ding" sound, a sharp arrow hit his defense barrier and was only half a centimeter away from Jiang Li's head and was intercepted in mid-air.
Jiang Li: "..."
Jiang Li: "I, I was asked by my teacher to come to the Elf Forest to deliver a letter! My teacher is called Messenner, an elf!"
Jiang Li: "Have you heard of his name?"
"Messenner?"
The elves who were resisting the enemy's attack paused, and from the familiar name, they recalled some memories about the silver-haired elf.
Jiang Li quickly took out the letter that the teacher had given him, protected it with magic, and passed it to the elves.
The elves stopped attacking, but they were still on guard. A blond elf took the letter on their behalf. The letter was written in Elven language. It was not long. The blond elf read it quickly, and his originally serious expression softened a little.
"It is indeed a letter from Messenner." The blond elf stroked the traces of magic left on the letter. This is the code for the elves to communicate, and it is also a way to verify the authenticity. Each elf has a unique mark. "He said in the letter that he asked you to bring some special seeds?"
Seeds?
Remembering that the teacher had given him something else, Jiang Li quickly took out another small cloth bag. So there are seeds in it?
With their natural affinity for plants, the elves quickly identified the differences in the seeds in the small bag. Tomatoes? Peppers? Soybeans? They were all new to them.
The blond elf asked again, "Are you a student of Messenner?"
Jiang Li nervously replied, "Yes."
The elves looked him up and down, making Jiang Li feel like he was undergoing some kind of security check. After a long time, the elves said, "Why did Messenner accept a human student?"
"He looks very young."
"Human lifespan is very short, they will grow old soon."
"He is so small, he should still be a child."
"When Messenner left the Elf Forest, he had just become an adult..."
Amid the discussion, Jiang Li felt that the way some elves looked at him changed. Their vigilance and hostility slowly faded, and they became a little more... and friendly???
Elves are a long-lived race. They age very slowly. Although they still look young and beautiful, they have already lived through countless generations. The life span of humans is just a fraction of theirs. Sometimes, in just a blink of an eye, the familiar humans have turned from children into octogenarians.
The golden-haired elf asked, "Are you here alone?"
Jiang Li quickly replied, "Yes."
"Okay..." The golden-haired elf said, "Since you are a student of Messenner, we should take care of you. Come in, child, you must be hungry after walking from such a long distance."
Jiang Li was indeed a little hungry. Walking in a primeval forest was very exhausting. He took a step forward and looked at the mess at his feet hesitantly. He had just destroyed the magic circle of defense at the entrance of the Elf Forest.
The blond elf said, "Don't worry, there will be elves to repair it."
Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief.
The elves' residence is also a large forest. As far as the naked eye can see, there are tall and strong trees. The roots spreading on the ground are thicker than Jiang Li's waist. The elves live in tree holes like birds and beasts.
The home of the blond elf is on a particularly thick tree. The trees here are almost as long-lived as the elves. Jiang Li followed him up the stairs and into the tree hole. There was a different world inside, which was even bigger than it looked from the outside. It was expanded by space magic and divided into many small rooms. Jiang Li was arranged in a small room that should be a guest room.
The elf's home is full of traces of magic. Apart from magic, there is nothing else here. The tables, chairs, and beds are all made of wood, and the decorations are also flowers and plants. Elves are born magicians, and magic is as simple as breathing.
Jiang Li noticed that there was no fire in their tree house either. The lighting was light magic, and the cooking was done on a stone slab engraved with a magic circle. The blond elf placed the pot on the stone slab, and soon the water in the pot began to boil.
Just as the blond elf was preparing lunch for the guests from afar, an elf knocked on the door and walked in, holding a basket full of mushrooms in his arms: "Dornoka, I picked a lot of mushrooms."
Elves only eat vegetarian food. Among the gifts from nature, delicious mushrooms are the elves' favorite ingredients. They use the most delicious ingredients to entertain guests from afar.
The mushrooms jumped out of the basket, washed in water, and fell into the pot again. Dornoka covered the pot and waited for the mushroom soup to boil. Knead the dough again, stuff it with vegetables, and bake it into vegetable pancakes.
The aroma of food soon filled the tree house.
Jiang Li walked out of the guest room and was not surprised to see kitchen utensils and ingredients flying around. The blonde elf was like a conductor, directing everything in the kitchen in an orderly manner. For a superb magician, magic is more handy than hands.
"You came at the right time." The blonde elf let the pancakes just out of the oven float to the table in front of him. The pancakes were cut into four halves, and the cross-section revealed soft and juicy vegetables, as well as a bowl of fragrant mushroom soup that was boiled into a golden color. He sat down opposite Jiang Li, and the tableware was placed in front of the two of them with a clink of clink. The golden-haired elf said gently, "Please have some."
"Then you'll be welcome."
Jiang Li took a spoon and scooped a mouthful of the soup. It tasted incredibly delicious. He suddenly widened his eyes: "This soup... is delicious!"
Dornoka curled his eyes: "The elves born from the mother tree all like to drink the soup I make, and so does Messenner."
Jiang Li said regretfully: "The teacher didn't tell me this. I thought his favorite food was tofu."
"Tofu?"
"It's a kind of food made from soybeans. The teacher likes it very much and grows a lot of soybeans every year."
"I see."
The blond elf wanted to say something, but suddenly there was a noisy sound outside the door. Soon, several young elves opened the door and ran in.
"Dornoka!"
"I heard there are guests!"
"It's Messenner's student. I heard he accepted a human as his student!"
The young elves with pointed ears quickly surrounded Jiang Li, and each of them widened their emerald eyes and observed Jiang Li curiously, as if they were looking at some rare species.
"Is this a human?"
"He's not what I imagined."
"Why doesn't he have a white beard?"
"I know, he must have been a child too."
Jiang Li coughed and explained himself solemnly: "I have been an adult for a long time."
The young elves looked at him with round eyes.
Jiang Li: "I'm over thirty!"
Several young elves looked at each other, and one of them who looked the youngest said: "I'm more than five hundred years old."
"The last elf was born from the mother tree more than two hundred years ago."
"Thirty years old..."
Jiang Li: "..."
Jiang Li lowered his head to drink the soup.
The blond elf took the youngest elf to his knees, and the elf looked up at him: "Dornoka, should I sing to him and put him to sleep?"
The blond elf laughed and said: "Human life span is only tens to a hundred years, he has indeed been an adult for a long time."
"Only a hundred years old?"
"Yes."
The elf said disappointedly: "Then won't he die soon?"
Jiang Li: "..." I'm sorry to live too short. "
Please don't mind it." Dornoka said to him apologetically: "They didn't mean it."
"It doesn't matter." Jiang Li said as if it was a matter of course: "The teacher also told me these things, he also said that he would help me choose a nice grave in the future, and would keep my photos. Although I am dead, my grave and photos will always remain. If he hasn't lost them."
The blond elf paused.
The elf sat in his arms and asked, "What is a photograph?"
"It's something similar to a portrait, but more realistic."
"Is it an invention of humans?"
"Yes."
The elves asked some questions about humans, and the topic soon returned to Messenger.
"Has he found the opponent he was looking for?" Dornoka asked, with a nostalgic look on his face: "He is the most warlike elf in the elf tribe. When I taught them magic, Messenner always learned quickly and then went to challenge other elves. As soon as he became an adult, he couldn't wait to leave the Elf Forest, saying that he was going to challenge the most powerful person in the world. Since then, he has never come back until you brought news about him."
Jiang Li shook his head and nodded: "He has never met anyone who can defeat him, but the teacher said that he will fight with me in the future."
"You?"
"He said that I have only learned magic for a short time and am still in the growth stage. I am not yet at my strongest." Jiang Li said seriously, "When the time comes, I will work hard to win."
Thinking of what happened at the entrance of the Elf Forest, the blond elf understood.
This human is indeed powerful and has amazing talents. Even in terms of human lifespan, he is still very young.
Jiang Li glanced at the side: "Mr. Dornoka..."
The blond elf responded gently: "What?"
"Are these little people flying around also elves?" Jiang Li asked curiously: "Why do they look different from you? Can you grow wings too?"
The blond elf was stunned, and the little elf in his arms covered his mouth with a wow.
Other elves were shouting: "No!"
"He's poisoned!"
"Where's the pharmacist? Where is the pharmacist?"
