Elves live in trees.
Closed tree holes, semi-open tree sheds, exquisite tree houses, etc., are all inseparable from big trees.
Soon, Rosen and the banshee Lisha found a semi-open tree shed next to the Pilgrimage Avenue.
Above your head is a natural awning made of huge broad leaves, around you are grid-like walls made of hanging branches and vines, and below you is dense, soft grass like a cashmere blanket.
As a temporary resting place, the comfort level is quite good.
Lisha curled up and lay flat on the ground like a horse. She raised her hand to take the light red fruit handed to her by a vine, and shouted to the entrance of the tree shed, "Rick, we need to be quiet for a while. Don't let anyone disturb us."
"knew."
The owner of the tree shed responded, and as he spoke, the vines beside the door of the tree shed hung down like snakes, separating a relatively independent space from the noisy elven capital.
After taking a bite of the fruit, Lisha looked through the wall grid with a blue gaze at the pedestrians coming and going on the pilgrimage avenue. She asked Rosen: "My soul has lived for more than 90 years, but guess how long I have been in this body?"
Rosen looked at the banshee carefully and found that she had thick hair and smooth and delicate skin, just like a newborn baby, with almost no trace of the vicissitudes of time.
Usually when this happens, either the person has amazing means to repair it at any time, like Rosen.
Or it could be a new body that has just been acquired.
Rosen's ability is difficult to replicate, so this banshee should have been reincarnated not long ago.
He guessed: "Less than a year?"
Lixia shook her head: "More, actually it's been less than half a month."
Her face showed a look of vicissitudes of life as if she had experienced a past that she could not bear to look back on.
"You know what? In the past five years, I have been reincarnated 16 times!"
Rosen understood immediately and immediately changed his tone to respect, saying, "You are truly a hero of our tribe."
In the Elven Empire, this only happens to powerful and brave warriors.
Lisha's face did not show any complacency, but was full of cynicism.
"Hero? If I fight to protect the Everfree Forest, then I am indeed a hero."
"But how did my body become damaged?"
"I was drafted to the Storm Continent across the sea, and fought one inexplicable battle after another with a bunch of weird things that looked like snail monsters."
"A large number of warriors died, and their souls were taken back into the Tree of Life and quickly began to reincarnate."
"I died 16 times in Storm Continent. Each death was extremely painful and caused great damage to my soul. My mana dropped from 9th ring to 6th ring, and I forgot a lot of past events, even many combat skills."
Lisha took a big bite of the fruit, as if she was biting the flesh of her enemy.
"Before the war, I had 13 sisters."
"We grew up together in laughter and joy, and our relationship was extremely deep, but now, there are only me and my fourth sister left. Everything about the other sisters has become a thing of the past."
"Sadly, I only know that I have many close relatives now, but I can no longer remember the specific appearance of these lost sisters."
"But even so, in half a month, when I get used to this new body, I will have to go back to that damn alien battlefield!"
She took another big bite of the fruit: "In their eyes, I am just a tool to be consumed!"
Rosen said cautiously, "Storm Continent was once the homeland of the elves. It seems only natural to find a way to take it back."
"If we can build another Everfree Forest in Storm Continent, our lives will definitely be much better than they are now."
Lisha nodded in approval of Rosen's words: "Everyone says this, and I admit that there is some truth to it."
"We have indeed occupied a lot of land in Storm Continent and obtained a lot of resources."
"If even one tenth of these resources are used to improve the welfare of the people, I have nothing to say."
"But no, all new resources are used to build warriors."
"What's funny is that even though we invested so many resources in the war, we still suffered heavy defeats again and again in the Dragon Islands. At least 2 million warrior souls were completely destroyed!"
"This is not 200, nor 2,000, but 2 million!"
Fear and anger were intertwined on the beautiful face of the witch Lisha.
Then, she said something shocking.
"Before the Lord of Truth returns, we will steadily expand our territory."
"We defeated the Glorious Empire in the oceans and mountains, and made it flee in panic."
"After the Lord of Truth returned, the former glory was gone, and the entire Dragon Islands fell into the hands of those mortals."
"In my opinion, the Lord of Truth is just an incompetent waste!"
Rosen looked horrified.
"Sister Lisha, please be careful with your words. This is Atlassen. It will be troublesome if those big shots hear us."
Lisha looked unimpressed.
"I am not the only one who thinks so. Many people think so. Even the top leaders of the empire and the glorious ones living on the great tree of life have this idea."
"Everyone knows that as long as I don't shout loudly in the streets, no one will pursue it."
After a pause, she looked at Rosen, a vigilant look on her beautiful face: "Little guy, are you going to report me?"
Rosen's heart was moved when he heard this: "The Honored Ones on the Great Tree of Life are already the highest level of the empire. It seems that the defeat of the Dragon Islands has greatly hit the confidence of the elves."
This is very good!
After hearing this, he understood everything.
Losing a war is a very serious matter in any country.
Think about it, everyone has put their lives in your hands and let you command them, but now you are incompetent and have wasted everyone's lives in vain.
It is because Dritan is a powerful god that if he were to replace him with a mortal king, his crown would have been broken by now.
But being dissatisfied is one thing, and having the courage to resist is another.
Finally, whether or not one can successfully resist is another even more difficult matter.
Looking at the banshee in front of him again, from the fluctuations of her soul, Rosen could feel that she had intentions towards him.
It seems like he wants to get me into the group.
This is normal, because he is disguised as a talented lower-level elf who already possesses fifth-ring magic power in his 30s and has great potential for future growth.
But to know what kind of group to join, it is not enough to just detect the fluctuations.
So Rosen said softly: "Sister Lixia, of course I know you are right, but what's the point of just complaining?"
Lixia's blue eyes flashed, and she switched to mental whispering: "Don't just complain with your mouth."
Rosen's heart moved slightly, and he also replied in a secret voice: "Sister, you seem to have something to say to me."
Lisha shook her tail like a rabbit, and finally told Rosen what he wanted to know.
"Ever heard of the Hare Club?"
"I've never heard of it, but judging by the name, it should be an organization that's very good at hide-and-seek."
From the information Lisha revealed and her somewhat reckless attitude, Rosen immediately knew: "This so-called Hare Club is probably quite large, and there may be a big shot from the Elf Empire behind it."
He suddenly developed a strong interest in hares.
At this moment, a trace of self-mockery flashed across Lisha's face: "Yes, we are indeed good at hiding, especially at hiding deep in the earth, just like those weak rabbits."
"Because only in this way can we avoid the detection of those powerful void creatures."
That's not wrong.
The Dharma Ring is stimulated by elemental energy, so the deeper you go into the earth, the more stable the Dharma Ring becomes.
At the same time, the elements themselves have various force shocks. The air elements on the surface of the earth are too thin, so the shock effect is not strong. But when it reaches deep into the earth, various force shocks accumulate together and form a natural power fog.
In fact, as long as you hide quietly under the soil layer at a depth of more than 300 meters, it is enough to block the detection of the great god. If you go deeper than 800 meters, you can go to the disco with peace of mind.
Not to mention the great god, even if Rosen trained the abilities related to future blessings to the highest level, he would be helpless.
So Rosen asked, "Does the Hare Club have many members?"
"I can only say it's quite a bit, but I can't tell you exactly how much it is for now, unless you become a member of the Hare Club."
Rosen became more and more curious, but he sensed Lisha's vigilance and knew that he should not appear too anxious.
So, he immediately imitated the normal reaction of an ordinary young man, with a hint of hesitation on his face.
"Well~~ Although I am a little curious, I am just an ordinary person. I am not mentally prepared at all, and I still have to find Lillian."
At this point, he seemed to have made up his mind: "Sister Lixia, thank you very much for sharing this secret with me. I will keep it strictly confidential."
"It's almost time. I. I have to go."
After saying that, he stood up and was about to walk out of the tree shed.
This reaction really made Lisha relax her already limited vigilance.
After taking a few steps, Rosen's hand was grabbed by her: "Don't leave in a hurry!"
The grip was very tight. Rosen struggled a bit but couldn't get free, so he turned around to look at the forest banshee of the upper elves.
The other party also stared at him and said in a deep tone: "Young man, I can see that you are a very talented elf."
"Of course you can go find your Lillian, worship the Great Tree of Life together, and then return to your Colorful Valley together, and be an ordinary lower-level elf, living an ordinary life."
"But I want to tell you that this is just a beautiful fantasy."
"In fact, you will soon be drafted into the army and your young and beautiful life will be wasted by a cruel and ruthless master."
"But you have another choice!"
At this point, Lisha's eyes sparkled with hope: "You can also join us, fight with us, and work hard to overthrow the tyranny!"
Rosen had a look of struggle on his face, but his mind was turning over ideas on how to join the Hare Club in a more reasonable and trouble-free way.
Lisha just thought that Rosen was moved by her words.
She continued, and said in a bewitching tone: "Young man, whether you remain unknown or become a legend depends entirely on your current choice."
Rosen was silent, his eyes flickering, as if he was persuaded.
But there is one last problem to be solved, which is that he mentioned earlier that he was looking for 'Lillian'.
This Lillian is fictional, and we have to find a way to make up for this lie.
While he was thinking, there was movement in the crown of the great tree of life above his head.
Just as he expected, the new commander of the elves had amazing means and acted very quickly, and indeed he found the new star god Sissi.
