Chapter 173 Goblins and Forest Elves



The bond between goblins and elves can be traced back to the ancestors of the goblins.

The goblin tribe has little combat power, but they have humanoid forms and can barely make a living by weaving and making tools.

The goblin's ancestors once encountered a fire.

It was a dry season, and some brave men came to explore the edge of the forest. They lit a bonfire at the edge of the forest, but left without completely extinguishing the fire.

Naturally, the forest also caught fire.

The humanoid demons took out their own water-storing items to put out the fire.

But even so, a large gap was burned in the western part of the forest.

It happened to be the dry season, and after the demons put out the fire, the water resources in the entire forest were very limited.

Swamps also began to shrink in size, and forests began to suffer from severe water shortages.

At that time, the demons in the forest walked to the swamp every day. It was the territory of the lizard people and prayed to them for a little water.

Fortunately, the lizardmen are also generous and try their best to distribute the drinkable water in their territory to everyone.

But even so, many demons died during the dry season that year.

The gap in the burned forest was gradually assimilated into the desert because it bordered the desert outside.

"No, if we continue like this, the forest will only get smaller and smaller. We can't just ignore it."

Goblin said.

It began to study the growth patterns of plants and observed that there were seeds in the feces of birds. After the seeds fell to the ground, they would grow into new life.

The goblin began to observe and found that the trees growing in the area outside the forest close to the desert were more drought-resistant and had less demand for water.

So the goblins began to look for young tree seedlings that had just emerged on the outskirts of the forest.

It dug out the young tree seedlings with their roots intact and kept them in a wooden barrel it made.

It brought these saplings back to the tribe and planted them. When they grew bigger, it transplanted them to the place where the fire occurred that year.

At first, it simply planted the trees where the forest met the desert.

As it led the tribe to transport water day after day to improve the landform, the planting area of ​​saplings began to expand outward.

To this day, the Goblin Tribe has not only made up for the forest loss caused by the fire by planting trees, but has also expanded the area of ​​forest in the desert.

Jade said this with pride in his eyes.

"Perhaps attracted by our behavior, my ancestor was summoned by him by chance."

"He said he was a forest spirit of this forest, born after the forest was born."

The forest elf was named Titi, a very beautiful male elf.

He gave a name to the goblin ancestor of that time and made it his own follower.

They also agreed that if the goblins discovered that a large number of trees in the forest had been cut down or were missing, they must replace them and not let the forest be destroyed by excessive logging.

After hearing this, Chi Sui asked again, "In order to ensure that your clan can keep his identity secret, he will give each clan leader a name?"

Jade nodded, "Yes."

"What's with that rock?"

Jed sighed, "My grandfather's grandfather, also the clan leader, accidentally entered the sleeping place of the forest elf Master Titi."

Jed had a strange expression on his face. "When it came out again, it was crazy, and it was holding this stone tightly in its hand."

Chi Sui frowned: "Did Ti Ti give it this stone?"

"No!"

Jade shook his head. "In fact, it occasionally wakes up for a moment, and then it says to the next patriarch..."

Jed seemed lost in some memories, probably recalling how his elders had described the situation.

"My Lord... I don't know... I've been in there..."

"Can't...let him know..."

"This thing... was brought out by me..."

"Otherwise... the Lord will no longer... protect us..."

At that time, the goblin handed the stone to the next member of the tribe, and then began to lose consciousness again.

Jed frowned. "My grandfather said that goblin...it...is more than just crazy."

"Why do you say that?"

Jed shook his head. "I don't know the details of what happened. I just know that the older generation avoids talking about it."

Chi Sui raised an eyebrow: "But you are the clan leader now, aren't you? According to you, the clan leader of your goblin clan is passed down from generation to generation. Logically, you should know everything."

Jed smiled bitterly: "You don't know, I only succeeded to the throne some time ago, before my grandfather died."

"Grandpa told me a lot before he died, but he didn't tell me about the goblin who brought out the stone."

Chi Sui hissed. This was a bit difficult. Jed's grandfather was already dead. Was the clue lost?

"Besides your grandfather, who else in the clan might know these things?"

Jed was silent.

After a long while, it said, "My father."

Chi Sui was stunned.

"Originally, the next clan leader was my uncle."

"But my uncle died unexpectedly when he was just an adult."

"So where did your father go?"

"I have no idea."

Jade shook his head. "My father passed away shortly after my uncle died."

"I never saw it in the forest again. I only heard from the bird tribe that it never left the forest."

Jed's expression was somewhat sad: "Perhaps it has died somewhere in the forest."

Chi Sui thought about it and suddenly found something wrong.

"You said you became the clan leader a while ago?"

"Yes."

"Since you have a name, it's obvious that you have met the forest elf Titi after you inherited the patriarchship."

Jade shook his head. "Actually, I haven't really met him."

The symbol of our goblin clan leader's status is a ring of grass that never withers.

Jade pointed to the grass ring around his neck.

Chi Sui took a closer look and found that this thing was very similar to the rings woven from willow trees. In fact, it was very ordinary. If there was anything special about it, it was that the grass ring was not withered or shriveled.

It looks like it is made of freshly picked grass strips.

"This grass ring can only be willingly given to the next clan leader by the previous clan leader."

"I got my name when my grandfather put the grass ring on me."

"Jed Goblin."

"Mind if I touch it?"

Chi Sui extended his hand.

Jed shook his head: "You touch it."

Chi Sui twisted the leaves of the grass ring and found another kind of pure plant power on it.

This power is magical, a magic that Chi Sui has never felt before.

It is dense and refreshing, and just a touch can give you a gentle feeling that makes you feel comfortable all over.

"When were you poisoned?"

Chi Sui seemed to be smiling.

Jade thought for a moment and replied, "I was poisoned along with everyone else."

Chi Sui was shocked.

No wonder he had the mildest symptoms among all the goblins. It turned out that this grass ring worked.
