Chapter 281: Forest of Elves

Following the guidance of the giant sword, Lin You and his companions spent two hours before finally reaching the edge of the Holy Land.

On a barren yet very lively land.

Why is it called barren? Because there is no plant in the entire area.

There was only a square made of bricks and stones, which looked very empty.

But even in such a place, at this moment, there were many people coming and going, and the voices were constant.

Looking through the crowd towards the center of the square, you will see a huge, boundless, straight sword inserted into the ground, perpendicular between heaven and earth.

It seemed to be suppressing all evils, and also seemed to be suppressing the main plane of monsters in the center of the sanctuary.

Below, there are several huge teleportation arrays shining with light, protected by teams of elven guards.

“Is this the edge of the sanctuary?”

Lin You looked around in surprise.

I didn't notice anything from a distance before.

But when he really came under this giant sword, he could clearly feel a strong sense of oppression, which made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

No wonder there is only a square but no buildings here.

"It is said that these three swords were made by our dwarven ancestors. The three great emperors personally inserted them into the ground to prevent the entrance to the monster plane from expanding."

Lei Zhe's explanation came from the side.

Lin You suddenly realized: "Your dwarven ancestors must be very powerful to be able to forge such a large sword, right?"

"Of course." Lei Zhe blew his beard proudly.

"We, the dwarves, were the only country among all the kingdoms that could be compared with the Empire."

"That's true." Lin You nodded silently.

The dwarfs' combat talent, once it reaches the eleventh level, can briefly display the strength of the twelfth level.

Although the time was not long, it was not comparable to that of other kingdoms.

If you think about it this way, it doesn’t seem strange to forge these three giant swords.

"Let's go, it's almost noon, we have to teleport to the Elf Capital quickly." Lei Zhe said to Lin You and Maghen.

Afterwards, he took the lead and followed the flow of people to one of the teleportation arrays and started queuing.

Judging from the length of the line, I'm afraid it will take at least half an hour.

As expected, the Elf Forest is still very popular among other races.

"Leizhe?"

Suddenly, a surprised shout came from the side.

An elf in armor led a team passing by and spotted Lei Zhe in the teleportation team at a glance and hurried over.

"Arlen?"

When Lei Zhe saw the person coming, he looked surprised.

"Is it your turn to be stationed here today?"

This shout immediately attracted the attention of people from other ethnic groups who were queuing nearby.

However, the male elf called Arlen didn't care and went straight to Lin You and the others.

"Yeah, it's my turn on duty today. Are you going back to the kingdom?"

"Well, I need to borrow your teleportation array for a while. I'll have to trouble you when the time comes."

"What's the problem? The dwarves are our friends. You can use them whenever you want."

Alan had a smile on his handsome face, and then he said to the team around him in a deep voice: "What are you still standing there for? How can we let our distinguished guests stand in line? Arrange for them to be transported immediately!"

"yes!"

The elf guard team responded loudly, and then immediately opened an exclusive passage to the teleportation array for Lin You and his team.

have to.

Met an acquaintance.

They also saved the time of waiting in line. These dwarves were so proud that Lin You couldn't help but envy them.

However, Lei Zhe seemed to have gotten used to it. He thanked the other party and motioned Lin You and McGown to follow.

"Leizhe, this is..."

At this time, Allen finally noticed Lin You in the team and frowned slightly.

"Oh, he is a friend of our dwarf tribe. It should be okay for us to go together, right?" Lei Zhe turned around and looked at Lin You.

"That's not a problem, but you should know that humans are not allowed to enter the Elf Forest. We can only go to the periphery at most." Arlen seemed a little embarrassed.

"Lin You, it seems that you are being excluded."

McGann laughed with glee.

Lin You shrugged helplessly. He had heard that the elves did not like to interact with outsiders, so he did not find it surprising.

With a flip of his palm, a leaf-shaped token appeared in his hand.

"With this, there should be no problem, right?"

"This is."

Seeing the token in his hand, Arlen was stunned.

Then his eyes suddenly widened.

"Elder invitation! Human, how could you have such a thing?"

He looked at Lin You in shock.

"It was given to me by an old elf in the Temple of Nature, asking me to go to the Forest of Elves."

"Nature Temple? Could it be the Third Elder?"

Arlen murmured in a low voice, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Lin You finally became different.

The hierarchy among their elves is very strict.

The Elf King, the High Priest, the Elders, the Deacons, and the High Elves. Each elder is of extremely noble status, and only the Elf King and the High Priest can give them orders.

Since the token was personally handed out by the elder, he naturally didn't dare to say anything more.

The look he gave Lin You suddenly became one of respect.

"I'm sorry, I disturbed you with my rudeness. I hope you won't blame me."

"It's okay." Lin You said with a faint smile.

"In that case, let me lead the way for you. The Third Elder is currently holding a ceremony deep in the Elf Forest."

Since the elder personally invited him, there must be something important. As a high elf, he naturally dared not neglect it.

After saying something to the two subordinates behind him, he left the team and personally led Lin You and the others to the teleportation array in the distance to guide them.

This scene immediately attracted surprised looks from everyone around.

"Who is that person? Why is he walking with elves and dwarves?"

"The elves came to greet him personally. Could he be some important figure?"

"I remember the last time I saw this kind of scene was when the fox prophet came."

"The Foxman prophet? He seems to be an eleventh-level expert, right? "

There were constant low shouts from the crowd.

His eyes were fixed on Lin You in the team.

Even the other elves who were guarding the teleportation array were attracted.

But soon, Lin You and his companions walked into the teleportation array under the leadership of Allen.

In a dazzling white light, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Swish! A flash of light passed by.

When he stood still again, Lin You had appeared in a lush forest.

Under their feet was a huge platform woven with vines, connected in all directions through tree trunks.

Wherever you look, you can see tree trunks and vines crisscrossing, birds singing and flowers blooming.

Below, there are various tree house buildings and streets, with pedestrians coming and going, and it is very lively.

Build a magnificent forest city in the forest.

"What a magnificent city! It is so many times bigger than my Yellow Sand City."

Lin You looked around and couldn't help but sigh.

The outskirts of the Elf Forest were a little different from what he had imagined. In addition to the elves, there were many other races living here, and they were much richer than in the Sanctuary.

It looked like a great time, with smiles on everyone's faces.

Isn't this the forest city he has always wanted to build? "Everyone, please follow me. The sacrifice should be about to begin."

Arlen led the way.

"Sacrifice? Did something big happen recently?"

Lei Zhe asked curiously.

He often has dealings with the elves, so he is relatively familiar with their affairs.

Upon hearing this, Lin You and McGann, who were standing by, immediately withdrew their gazes and looked over curiously.

"Actually, I don't know much about it. I just heard that something happened in the Monster Main Plane recently, and the high priest is communicating with the Mother Goddess of Nature, hoping that she can send down an oracle."

"An oracle?"

McGurn and Lei Zhe murmured and looked at Lin You with strange expressions.

I wonder what Arlen would feel if he knew that the Mother Goddess of Nature, whom they have always believed in, had sent the oracle to a human being.

"What's wrong?"

Arlen noticed their abnormality and looked back in confusion.

"Nothing." Lei Zhe grinned, "Let's go into the forest quickly. I have to get back to the kingdom as soon as possible."

"That's right. I heard that there's been unrest in your kingdom recently. Lei Zhe, you better be careful."

"Don't worry, even if there is unrest, we will not easily kill our own people."

"Well, everyone follow me."

After saying that, Arlen quickened his pace and took them out of the square and headed deep into the Elf Forest.

With him leading the way, the journey became much more convenient.

After numerous checks and spending nearly two and a half hours, they finally arrived at the central area of ​​the forest where the elves lived.

From afar, one can see the elves constantly gathering towards a vast ancient tree standing in the center of the Elf Forest in the distance.

"Is that the Elf Tree?"

In the team, McGann exclaimed in a rare moment of surprise.

As early as when he was in the tribe, he heard the elders of the tribe tell him about the Elf Tree.

You can say that.

All elves are born from the Elf Tree.

This tree is definitely the most important thing to the elves and the foundation of their survival.

One of the important reasons why outsiders are not allowed to approach is to protect the safety of the Elf Tree and prevent it from being destroyed.

"Is this the Elf Tree? It has such a strong breath of life."

Lin You took a deep breath, as if his whole body and mind were purified, and he felt indescribably comfortable.

Even the fatigue accumulated from fighting during this period was swept away.

Then.

They followed Arlen and the other elves and hurried towards the Elf Tree without being stopped by other elves.

Lin You was looking forward to it very much.

Before the collapse of all worlds, the Tree of Elves could only be seen in novels, games or movies. It was an imaginary thing.

I didn't expect that I would have the chance to see the real thing now, and I can't help but feel excited.

Moreover, he heard that the one who now ruled the Elf Empire was an Elf Queen whose strength reached the twelfth level and was also the most beautiful being on this continent.

If he could be lucky enough to see her face, it would be worth it for him to come so far.

With this idea in mind, they quickly passed through a row of tree houses and arrived at the deepest part of the Elf Forest, under the huge ancient tree that proudly stood between heaven and earth.

However.

What makes Lin You regretful is.

When he followed the team and came to a huge square under the Elf Tree, he did not see the Elf Queen.

Instead, I saw a group of powerful elves and a group of flower fairies flying in the air.

Led by an old elf holding a vine-wood staff, they were kneeling devoutly in front of the Elf Tree.

The Elf Tree was surrounded by light and shadow, with a soft glow descending downwards.

Soothing everyone's body and mind.

It seemed as if the whole world had become much quieter.
