Chapter 238 Visiting the Elf Paradise and Arriving at the Elf Palace
Alia had warned her that the moose's normal speed was very fast, so she should be mentally prepared.
Unexpectedly, the attack started so quickly, catching Rongzhen and the others off guard. Their hair was hit hard in their faces, making a loud noise.
Alia laughed and continued to follow the team in front to increase Bambi's speed. She then threw a windproof cloak to Rongzhen.
"Use it to cover it, and you will be back soon."
Rongzhen hurriedly caught it, and while putting it on herself and tying it up in the messy wind, she looked back at Mary and the hired worker on the moose behind her.
Mary was fine. Due to the nature of her job, she always kept herself neat and tidy. Her hair was tightly wrapped with a headscarf, and she was holding a bundle in front of her, so she didn't let herself be too embarrassed by the sudden increase in speed.
Those hired workers were in a very miserable state, but they didn't care at all. They were grinning and looking very happy. Even if they were in a very miserable state, they would probably be happy with it.
After all, they were riding a moose and were so happy that they didn't know what to do.
As the moose team moved faster and faster, the surrounding trees gradually retreated and began to grow taller and taller.
Just like how the moose team deliberately slowed down on the way here to accommodate humans but still seemed very fast to Rong Zhen and the others, the trees on the outskirts of the forest looked much taller and denser than those outside, but compared to what Rong Zhen saw now, they were still dwarfed.
Those tall trees are like giant trees, their crowns blocking out the sun, the vegetation under the trees is sparse, and the trees are occupied by various small animals.
Rongzhen reached out and brushed over a colorful bird that flew down, looking at everything in front of him in amazement.
What a magical green world.
The birds circled around them until the moose were out of their territory.
The trees they encountered later were even larger, standing on both sides of the road they were traveling on, like towering mountains or rows of majestic soldiers.
The elves were used to this and didn't find it strange. However, Rong Zhen and the others, who were humans entering for the first time, were dazzled for a moment. They wanted to remember every strange and amazing scene that shocked them, and sincerely marveled at the wonders of nature.
But soon they had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery.
Because as the moose team accelerated again, the surrounding scenery retreated at an incredible speed and could no longer be captured by the human eye.
When the image in his vision began to distort, Rongzhen quickly closed his eyes to avoid dizziness.
When I opened my eyes again, the moose team had slowed down and entered a green wall reaching into the clouds formed by giant trees intertwined together.
Through it, you can enter the legendary elf paradise in the outside world.
Led by the Elf King, they entered without any hindrance. As they passed slowly, they could see the texture inside the giant tree, which felt like a naturally formed painting.
The entrance was built by hollowing out a huge tall tree, and there are elves guarding it to ensure the safety of the Elf Paradise.
After passing the green wall, a world like Alice in Wonderland appears before your eyes, even more dreamy and beautiful than that.
There are lush green flowers, plants and trees everywhere, and elves in colorful robes are walking among them, their clothes fluttering in the air, emitting an angelic and charming halo.
"Have we arrived in the kingdom of God?" Mary held her face with her chubby hands, her eyes full of intoxication, and couldn't help asking aloud.
Abel said proudly, "Of course not. This is the paradise of us elves!"
Rongzhen came back to her senses and felt so envious, "Then you guys must be living so well." She is indeed the darling of the gods.
Compared to them, humans seem to be abandoned by God.
If she had seen other races with worse living conditions, such as Smaug and Warcraft, she might not think so, but she hasn't seen them yet. She only saw that the elves' habitats were much better than those of humans.
Arya said proudly, "This is a gift from the Forest Goddess, and it's also the result of our king's hard work. Praise the Goddess, praise the King."
Abel placed his right hand on his chest and said in unison with her: "Praise the goddess, praise the king."
Rongzhen looked at their pious appearance and felt embarrassed to remain indifferent, so she also learned to praise like Mary and the others.
After the team slowed down, they did not speed up again. Instead, they strolled leisurely among the trees. The elves and small animals that surrounded them kept greeting and praising them.
As a new face, Rongzhen was the focus of attention of the curious elves.
"Are you the guest invited by the king this time?" an elf asked her beside the big moose.
Rongzhen nodded and said yes, and then someone stuffed a hand full of flowers, saying it was a welcome gift for her.
Arya smiled and asked her to accept it, saying that she must not let the elf down.
Rongzhen didn't want to take it for free, so she took out a piece of fruit candy as a return gift and threw it to the elf who turned around and wanted to run away.
In fact, the other person doesn't look young in terms of height or age, she is just younger than Alia, so Rongzhen calls her the elf until she knows her name.
Perhaps because they saw the elf get the candy, many young elves came to give her things one after another.
There are flowers, grass, fruits, and insects...
As for the latter, Rongzhen declined politely, but still accepted it and gave the other party a candy.
Before the elf left happily, he told her: "Human girl, that is edible."
"!!" Rongzhen stared at the insects wrapped in leaves in her hands.
Eating them? Just thinking about it makes me shudder!
Finally, she fed the bag of wriggling white fat bugs to the flying birds, causing a group of little creatures to chase her and try to land on her head to rest.
Aaliya says this is how close they are to her.
Rongzhen said forget it, she was worried that they would get so close that they couldn't help but poop, birds are very straightforward.
After staggering along the way, we finally arrived in front of a magnificent 'building' before dark.
It is called a building, but in fact it is an elven wooden house made up of thousands of towering trees. The lower floor is the elves' residence, the middle is the place for receiving guests, and the top floor is the bedroom of the elven king.
When Rongzhen saw them from the outside, he thought they were a huge entity. But after entering, he found that the middle was empty. The whole building was a ring formed by tree trunks and branches, with a big tree as tall as the building surrounding it in the middle.
This big tree was different from all the trees they had seen since entering the forest. Not only was it more lush and vibrant, with leaves glowing slightly, but huge fruits hung between its branches, each as big as a person.
Arya noticed her gaze and walked up the winding stairs, whispering to her, "See? That's our mother tree. Each fruit on it represents a spirit about to be born."
Rong Zhen guessed it, as it was already in the relevant settings of the previous world, but: "Is it really okay for you to tell me directly about something like this?"
It seems like this naive and innocent kid is trying to cheat his mother.
Alia blinked at her and said unconcernedly, "It's okay, it's not a secret."
But Rongzhen still said he would keep his mouth shut.
She and Mary were then taken to the guest reception area on the middle floor of the palace, where there were rooms for humans to rest, and meals and bathing water were provided for them.
When Rongzhen saw the bath water, her eyes lit up instantly. Who could understand? She had been here for two or three days and hadn't taken a proper bath yet. She probably could have rubbed mud off her body.
Now is a good opportunity to wash myself clean. The elf is so considerate.
Mary and the others stared at the table full of food, their stomachs growling like thunder again.
So the two sides acted separately. They first feasted here, while Rongzhen dived into the bathtub in the room to take a bath.
The considerate elf also prepared fruits and new robes by the pool. There were flower petals floating in the bath water, and the fresh scent of grass and fruit lingered at the tip of my nose. After washing, I felt like my whole body was filled with this pleasant smell.
"Very good!" Rong Zhen admired the elf's aesthetic taste and enjoyment from the bottom of his heart.
But it is definitely not possible to let her turn into an elf and live here, so just seize the opportunity and enjoy it.
Mary specially left a meal for her, which included meat, vegetables, juice and white bread.
Rongzhen was surprised when she got the white bread. It turned out that there was white bread in this world. She thought everyone ate rye bread. After all, it was not in the original owner's memory, and Mary and the others had never mentioned it.
Seeing that she liked it, Mary muttered, "Actually, white bread is not difficult to make. Aunt Mary also knows how to make it. But Miss Jenny, eating white bread is something that only noble lords like to do. Ordinary people will go bankrupt if they eat it."
Rong Zhen paused while chewing the white bread, took a look at the soft and fragrant slices of bread, and thought of similar examples in the history of the native world.
In the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, there was a wealthy landlord who did not like to eat coarse flour and rice. He preferred noodles and steamed buns made of white flour. As a result, he ended up eating so much that his family went bankrupt.
When the teacher told this story in a joking manner, the students thought it was made up.
After all, white flour was not a rare thing for them at that time. Many students complained that the white flour buns made in the cafeteria were not tasty and would not eat them until they had to tear off the skin, or simply throw them away. How could they understand what it would be like in a world where eating white flour could make you bankrupt?
Thanks to the revolutionary martyrs and thanks to the new China. It’s a pity that there are no lovely pioneers and trailblazers here.
Rongzhen doesn't have that much ability and ambition on her own, and the world certainly won't allow her to mess around here.
She gave the flower seeds to Alia only after careful testing.
"It's okay, black bread is delicious too." Rongzhen comforted Mary, who was worried, and assured her that she would not bankrupt the farm because of her love for white bread.
She would just cook for herself and eat secretly without letting them see.
Bankruptcy is impossible, you can rest assured.
After the meal, Alia came to her and told her, "Jenny, I asked the king to let you accompany me here. The king agreed and is ready to ask for your opinion. Come with me."
Rongzhen was surprised to be pulled away by Alia, and he flew over the natural stairs formed by the tree trunks and reached the top floor of the palace unimpeded.
In the spacious hall, golden sunlight sprinkled through the gaps in the ceiling and fell on the throne of thorns high up, which was surrounded by green branches and covered with red flowers.
The Elf King, wearing a crown of thorns, a long robe and silver hair, was sitting on it, his emerald green eyes like gems watching her walk in quietly.
