Chapter 209 Territory



Ash wants to take Sigourney into the home of the elves, the Land of the Eternal White Moon.

With Jane and Lavinia around, the elves wouldn't say they were unwilling to let go.

But Ash not only had to enter the coverage of the World Tree, but also had to go deep into the center, to the foot of the World Tree. That was a forbidden area for the elves and was never open to outside races. This made it a bit difficult.

Not to mention that he had to bring in the vampire in a black coffin.

You know, no matter which world they are in, elves and vampires always have a strong incompatibility with each other.

Jin Long held his forehead with his hand and said, "Elves are very stubborn. Negotiation is definitely not an option. And it's best if Jian doesn't show up in front of the elves. He is the representative sent by the elves to the Holy Land. Now, in everyone's eyes, he is still trapped in the Holy Land."

Ash tilted his head to look at him and said embarrassedly, "I don't plan to negotiate with the elves." He raised his hand to cover his mouth and whispered, "Let's go in quietly."

Jinlong: “…” Ash looks very obedient, but actually he is quite willful when it comes to things he has decided on.

"Okay. I'll go with you." He shrugged and compromised, "If we are discovered by the elves, it will be difficult to escape. The area under the World Tree is the elves' territory."

The black dragon held the little dragon in his arms and suddenly said, "Wherever Ash goes, that is his territory. Why are you worrying about it?"

Jin Long was stunned. Oh, that’s right. He almost forgot that Ash also received the gift from the world and could walk around the world without any problem.

"Then why are we doing it quietly?" He raised the corners of his lips as if he thought the excitement was not enough, "We can just go in directly, even the elves can't stop us."

Ash shook his head slightly: "The Land of White Moon should not be a place full of hostility, tense and explosive." It is the ideal place that the forest elf Bart yearned for until his death. It should be beautiful and peaceful, the place where the souls of the elves are born and return.

They quietly sneaked into the elves' home.

Quietly came to the foot of the trunk of the World Tree.

There is a vast lake here. The water is crystal blue, with large pieces of fallen leaves floating on it, and little elves wrapped in buds.

As if it was intentional, the treetops that cover the sky did not block all the sunlight, but cleverly left a small space for the sunlight from high in the sky to condense into straight beams of light, which fell freely into the lake, creating shimmering light.

In this small world, sunlight and shadow blend harmoniously. In the gentle breeze, the traces of light and shadow change gently, as if time has calmed down here, and every minute and every second has become slow.

It was already evening, and the sunlight was less scorching, becoming fiery and gentle.

The branches, leaves, lakes, grass... are all covered with a layer of warm and fluffy light.

Ash sat down by the lake.

It seemed like he just wanted to wait for Sigourney to come out.

Lavinia looked up at the tall tree trunk growing out of the lake and clicked her tongue regretfully: "Hey, aren't we going up? Isn't the view from the tree much better?"

"The scenery here is also very beautiful." Ash looked up at the fruits hanging on the nearby branches and said with a smile, "Besides, Sigourney probably won't expect to find elf cubs hanging everywhere when she comes out."

The most important thing is that only by the lake can you vaguely see the stars and the moon in the night sky.

Ash nodded in satisfaction, Sigourney would definitely like the place he chose.

When night fell, the lid of the black coffin lying next to Ash was opened.

Signe sat up from the coffin.

"Sigourney." Ash was sitting next to him. He didn't turn his head to look at him when he heard the coffin lid open. He just said softly, "We found it, the land of the eternal white moon."

He supported himself with his hands on the cool grass, raised his body slightly, and looked up at the branches and stars above, as if immersed in them.

Sigourney followed his gaze and also lowered her voice, saying "hmm" very softly.

He had been in the coffin, staying with Ash, and he knew everything that happened and was said outside.

He knew that Ash had brought him to the foot of the World Tree, and that Ash wanted him to see the White Moon Country for the first time, when it was at its most beautiful.

Therefore, he was extremely cooperative, estimating the time and coming out of the coffin at the right moment.

This is a process without any surprises, but it is particularly anticipated.

And this scene at this moment did not disappoint his long-lasting anticipation in the coffin at all.

In the night sky, the crimson and pale moons shone together, and the moonlight intertwined with each other, like a smooth satin, lightly covering every branch and every leaf of the World Tree.

The branches and leaves are soaked in moonlight, revealing a flowing silvery light.

There is no gorgeous red of the Scarlet Moon.

But it is more vivid, fresh, delicate and soft than the cold white of the pale moon.

They sat by the lake, with moonlight and starlight shining down above their heads. The clear lake in front of them reflected a brilliant galaxy, as if they were surrounded by an undisturbed little world, with bright moonlight flowing everywhere.

It is quiet and serene, as if the soul is flowing through a clear spring.

This is the Land of the White Moon.

Ash murmured softly, "Bart's soul will return here, right?"

Sigourney said firmly, "I will."

As he finished speaking, there was a "plop" sound, and a ripe fruit fell from the World Tree and landed in the lake, creating a small cluster of snow-white splashes and rippling circles of water.

The bright starry sky in the lake seemed to be disturbed by it and shattered into pieces of swaying starlight.

A new life was born.

Ash was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Sigourney, and happened to meet Sigourney's surprised eyes. They were silent for a while, and then they both laughed.

On the other side, the golden dragon, who was far away from Ash and the others, was enjoying the beautiful scenery while talking to the people around him: "Look, thanks to me for pulling you over here, is their place still a place for people to stay now?"

Xiaolong lay on Heilong's shoulder and said "Yo" to him: But we are not human.

Jin Long: “…”

The night passed peacefully, and Ash and the others left quietly just as they had come.

He had already chosen the location of his territory, on the plain next to the World Tree.

It was agreed that a wooden house would be built in the White Moon Country in the future, so he had to prepare nearby.

Sigourney seemed to understand his idea and had no doubts about his choice of location, so she nodded in agreement.

The plains that they had their eyes on were particularly fertile because they were adjacent to the World Tree, and were also firmly controlled by the elves.

However, the elves do not live on the plains. Instead, they drive human slaves to grow food for them and make exquisite clothes and items on the plains.

Although Ash did not rob the elves of the White Moon Land, he was not polite to this plain.

In Red Iluf, which was ruled by magical creatures, no matter which piece of land he wanted to occupy, that piece of land belonged to the magical creatures. If he wanted to have his own territory, he could only occupy it once by force.

They came to the center of the plain, and Lavinia was ready to make a move: "How are we going to rob? Are we going to do it now?"

Ash and Sigourney exchanged a reassuring look and waved at Lavinia, "No need to bother."

He and Sigourney sat down on the grass and asked everyone earnestly, "Please help us guard for a while."

Then he and Sigourney closed their eyes, as if they were in meditation.

Lavinia finally got a hint of what was going on. He remembered that the gift the world gave them was controlled by laws within a certain range? Was this certain range as large as a hundred Dragon Islands?

One hundred dragon islands?

——Enough to frame this entire plain!

Soon, with the keenness of the dragon clan, he vaguely sensed the subtle fluctuations of the laws in the space. It was an absolute existence like a command, spreading out in all directions with them as the center.

His eyes widened. Even though he had been shocked once before by the abilities of the two, he was still deeply shocked again at this moment.

If possible, he really wanted to talk to both humans and magical creatures. There were already two such cheating beings in the world, so what were they fighting for? No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't gain the right to speak for the world, right?

Fighting life and death just for a second place? Is that interesting?

But Jinlong also knew that some people would find it interesting.

Interests, ambitions, conspiracies, desires... contradictions and struggles always exist.

Even if there is only one race left in the world, it will be no exception.

He also sat down on the ground beside the two of them, and patted the grass beside him towards the lively little dragon flying around: "Come here and rest for a while. If you want to grow as strong as your brother, you can still do some exercise for a while."

"Yo~" The little dragon flew over, but did not land beside him. Instead, it flashed in front of his eyes, looking very excited, as if it had just seen something in the sky and wanted to take him to see it.

The golden dragon glanced at Ash and the others, raised his hand and touched Xiaolong's head: "Wait a little longer, we will go together."

Xiaolong: “Yo!” Okay.

Ash and the others didn't let Xiaolong wait too long, and soon, he opened his eyes.

"Done?" Jin Long asked in surprise.

Ash nodded calmly, "Remember the barrier outside the holy land? We built one around the plain. We also repelled the few elves on the plain. As for the humans inside, we will tell them the truth about the territory later. It will be up to them to decide whether to stay or go."

Signe said coldly: "Malicious fighting is prohibited in the territory. If someone pretends to obey but actually disobeys and deliberately stays in the territory to cause trouble, the law will not be kind to him."

Jin Long was curious: "How do you mean rude?"

Sigourney looked at him coldly: "You can try it yourself once."

Jin Long felt a chill down his spine and shook his head repeatedly: "No, no need. Hey, Gray seemed to have discovered something just now, shall we go check it out together?"

Sigourney gave him a meaningful look and said, "Let's go."

Jin Long: “…”

Terrible! The gaze of the true child of the world.jpg

Gray flew up and led the way in front. Very quickly, he arrived at the place he had just seen from afar.

"What is this?!" Jin Long was surprised.

He saw a human village with people coming and going, and it was extremely lively.

But all of this is just an illusion. Although I can see it with my eyes, I cannot perceive it at all, as if the other party does not exist in this world.

——It’s exactly the same as the rumors I heard recently!

Did they finally meet, too? A scene somewhere in the next world?

"What is this?!" Ash couldn't help but be surprised.

But what surprised him was different from Jinlong's.

He recognized where the scene in the shadow was.

That was Duogu Village where he had lived since he was a child and he was extremely familiar with every tree and blade of grass!

He recognized it the first time he saw it.

Look at that man striding towards the village from the entrance, isn’t that Uncle Derek!

Ash ran over in surprise and stood in front of Derek's shadow.

Even though they were separated by a world, the other party seemed to have seen him as well. He suddenly stopped in his tracks, widened his eyes in surprise, and opened his mouth. Although no sound came out, Ash could tell that he was calling his name.

Ash nodded vigorously and gave Derek a huge grin.

He turned around and waved to Sigourney and the others.

Sigourney, Jane, and Quentin all walked over and stood in front of Derek.

Ash raised his hand and pointed at a few people, trying his best to pronounce the words clearly: "Uncle Derek, we are all fine."

After being surprised, Derek quickly put on a happy smile, gestured to Ash to wait, and ran towards the village, as if to inform other people.

Ash blinked, and the shadows of the entire village appeared before him, so he could naturally run with Uncle Derek.

He guessed that Uncle Derek must go to find the village chief first, so he reached out and grabbed Sigourney, aimed at the direction of the village chief's residence in the shadow of the village, and ran in big strides.

He ran faster than Derek.

It's not that he's fast, but that Derek still has to go around in the village roads, but he can run in a straight line unimpeded on the plain here, so naturally he's much faster.

Sigourney was dragged by him and passed through various walls in the village.

The houses are all virtual shadows, you can just dive into them and walk out again.

Sigourney felt particularly frustrated when she "banged her head against the wall", but when she thought about how much Ash missed everyone in Duogu Village, she thought she would have to wait for a year, but now they met unexpectedly, so she must be particularly happy and excited.

He also let Ash pull him and rushed around in the shadow of the village.

But after a while, Ash stopped this behavior and ran obediently along the shadow's path.

Because after he broke into a house, he saw the shadows of Aubrey and Shayna.

The two were kissing quietly in the room, thinking that no one knew, but they were seen by Ash who came through the wall.

Ash, who was in a state of excitement, was embarrassed to think that even though it was just a phantom, it was still very rude for him to casually enter someone else's room. After calming down a little, he said "sorry" to the two of them with great guilt, and then pulled Sigourney out of the room and onto the path.

Aubrey of Bai Yilufu suddenly became alert and pressed Shana into his arms, while looking around nervously: "Shana, did you feel that someone seemed to be looking at us just now?"

Shanna's nose hit Aubrey's strong chest hard, and tears came out immediately.

She was so angry that she stepped on Aubrey's toes. "Where is the person? You are the only one who is suspicious all the time!"

Aubrey felt wronged and confused: "But I just felt that someone was watching me. It can't be wrong!"

He had no idea that it was attention coming from the next world.
