In the elves' territory, under a flower-shaped street lamp, an elf in a cloak stared blankly at the delicate little ball she was holding. At the little ball's feet, a little tiger kept circling around her.
The air was silent for a moment.
"Is it okay, brother?" Seeing that Josiah didn't answer, Lingling raised her voice and asked.
Josiah, who was shocked, finally came to his senses.
"Lingling, are you saying that if you know our purification magic, you can help your brother?"
"Yes~" Lingling answered affirmatively.
"But you are not an elf, you can't help your brother." Having said this, Josiah calmed down.
Yes, this is obviously a human baby. Although I don’t know why it follows the tree people, it is impossible for it to become an elf and inherit the elves’ traditional magic.
Moreover, the Elf King's purification magic couldn't completely cure his people. How could Lingling be more powerful than the Elf King?
"Brother!" Lingling shook the big hand she was holding and looked at Josiah seriously. "Brother, you have to believe in Lingling. Lingling can really do it."
Josiah was a little hesitant. From the time they met at the market, to the time they met at the market gate, and now, the little kid had said many times that he could help him.
She knew there was something wrong with her face, and she also knew that the elves' inherited magic was purification magic.
All these things made him want to believe it even though he didn't know how she knew.
Josiah struggled in his heart, but looking at Lingling's bright eyes, he finally gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Okay! Tomorrow morning, I'll take Lingling there to try. If it doesn't work, I'll take Lingling back, okay?"
Lingling's eyes lit up.
"Yeah, yeah, Lingling will definitely be able to do it. Thank you, brother!"
Seeing Lingling so happy, Josiah couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.
Whatever, the child's original intention was just to help him, so why would he refuse? Wasn't it just to ask the Elf King to perform a succession ceremony? He would go later, after the little one fell asleep.
After the matter was settled, Josiah took Lingling back to his house. On the way, fearing that Lingling would be bored, Josiah told her some stories about the elves as a bedtime story.
......
The elves are a reclusive race, living in their own territory. They have inhabited this mysterious land, far from the hustle and bustle, for thousands of years. In this land, every living being lives in harmony with nature, jointly protecting this magical land.
The elves' territory is located in the Firefly Forest and is hidden by a large magic circle. Only elves holding the elves' life cards can enter.
This territory is composed of forests, streams, and hills. Countless giant trees surround the entire land. Each tree is dozens of meters tall and has lush branches and leaves. They represent the harmonious coexistence of the elves and nature.
In the center of the forest stands an exquisite castle made of dark green magic stones. Each magic stone is stained with the traces of time. This is the residence of the noble Elf King.
Outside the castle, a clear and transparent stream meanders by. During the day, the stream water sparkles in the sunlight like a long silver ribbon.
On daily basis, the elves would wash, fetch water and play by the stream.
The stream is a treasure land of the elves' territory. It contains precious silver grass, which is a specialty of the elves' territory. Eating it can enhance physical fitness and is also an important commodity for them to trade.
The Elf King's castle is surrounded by emerald green grass. It is said that this was the hobby of the first Elf King. He liked the feeling of being surrounded by green, so he used natural magic to plant grass throughout the territory.
The elves' huts are in a circular shape, located on the surrounding grass, and are distributed in an orderly manner around the Elf King's castle.
Josiah talked as he walked, and soon they arrived at his stone house.
There was a small courtyard outside the stone house. Josiah took Lingling by the hand, pushed open the gate and walked in.
His house was not as luxurious as the Elf King's castle, which could use the Philosopher's Stone. Instead, he found huge stones in the forest and cut them into the size of bricks to build it.
With the help of the street lights outside the house, you can vaguely see that the outer wall of the house is covered with various vines and flowers. The land in the yard is also divided into pieces and planted with various vegetables. They are all planted with seeds that Josiah exchanged at the market. There are also clusters of beautiful flowers against the wooden fence.
He has lived in this house alone since his parents passed away twenty years ago, and this is the first time he has brought someone in.
After entering the yard, Josiah lowered his head to look at the little guy he was holding. It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at him, but when he did, he couldn't help but turn his head and chuckled.
Lingling opened her mouth wide as soon as she walked into the yard. The little winged tiger beside her followed suit, trying to open its mouth wide, revealing its toothless mouth.
As a little kid who grew up in the territory of the Tree People, Lingling had only seen towering trees and simple tree houses. She had never seen a stone house like this with such a beautiful courtyard.
Lingling let go of Josiah's hand and ran around in the yard, looking here and there, and everything she saw was new to her.
Josiah did not stop Lingling. He turned around, closed the gate, leaned against the fence, and looked at the lively little figure and the little follower beside her legs with a smile.
How long has it been? How long has it been since I felt so relaxed? Josiah couldn't help but ask himself.
Josiah stared at Lingling in a daze, unable to give himself an answer for a long time.
"elder brother!"
A small baby voice sounded, and Josiah came back to his senses.
"What's wrong, Lingling?"
Lingling pinched her skirt and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, brother. Lingling was too excited and left you alone."
