Chapter 2440 (1/2)
The entrance of the mother tree of life is not far away, but the entrance is hidden, which is not easy to notice.
This entrance is actually located on the trunk of an ordinary looking tree. It is only wide enough for two people to go in parallel. Of course, as far as the trunk is concerned, if you can make such a big hole in it, it will not affect the growth of plants, which is already very big.
According to the guide girl, this entrance is not the main passage. The real main passage is located in another place, which is a huge passage for two locomotives running side by side, which is much more spacious than this one.
Although it is an auxiliary channel, it is a channel connecting the mother tree of life, so there are guards here. We just got close to the big tree when two elves reached out and stopped us.
”This is the channel under the lake leading to the mother tree of life. Foreigners are not allowed to come in and out at will. What can I do for you?”
The male spirit, one of the two elves in charge of leading the way, quickly stepped forward and explained, ”we are the elves from the Western tribes. We came here at the order of our patriarch. We hope to get her help. This is the keepsake of our patriarch The genie said and handed out a leaf.
A spirit in the guard took the leaf and didn't look at it. He just touched it and nodded, ”it's the leaf of the mother tree of life here. You can go there.”
After thanking the two guards, we went into the tree hole. Inside the tree hole is a spiral down stairs, not deep, only two stories high. After going down to the bottom is a long passage with a slope. This passage is not a passageway for human construction, but a channel composed of holes formed by the root of the mother tree of life. Because the passage is not rectangular, the internal space is closer to a circle, but the direction under the foot is slightly flat.
Because of the hollow root, the four walls of the passage are all made of wood. However, the bark of the trunk is not full of folds, but rather smooth. After all, it's the pipe inside the root, not the bark.
On the way, I met a group of spirits coming from the opposite side. Because we also have two elves leading the way, so the other side did not have any questions, just nodded with us and hurried by, looking as if there was something urgent.
After crossing with this group of elves, we quickly left the relatively small passage and entered a very wide passage. According to the guide spirit's explanation, the roots under the mother tree of life are not all directly connected to the central island, but first gathered into some relatively thick trunk around the periphery, and then connected to the main island. Now we are almost in one of the trunk lines. The flow of people here is obviously much larger. When we came out, we saw a group of fully armed elves running through the front passage. There are hundreds of elves in the range of light line of sight. There are still many spirits in front and behind. The whole passage is full of their neat footsteps.
”What's going on?” Looking at the army running past, Christina couldn't help asking the genie who was leading the way.
The spirit also shook his head in doubt and said, ”I don't know. It seems that there is any military action. We'd better go to see the clan leader quickly. Once the battle happens, the clan leader will be very busy and may not meet us at that time.”
”That's right. Let's get there quickly.” I said and urged everyone to run quickly.
Although there are a lot of elves in the main road here, they only occupy the central part of the passage, and they are not full of the whole passage. Therefore, people can walk on both sides. The only trouble is that it may be a bit troublesome to go to the opposite fork road, but we only need to go to the main island, so we don't need to cross the marching army.
In fact, when we enter the main pipeline, we are not far away from the central island. If we go ahead, we will reach the exit. Originally, someone should check the exit position here, but now there are a large number of elves running out, so the scene is a little bit chaotic. In order to prevent congestion, the guards do not check the exit position any more. They just watch the passers-by to see if there is any abnormal behavior.
After we came out of the underpass, the guards just looked at us more and didn't say anything. However, the female spirit who led us the way ran to ask for the position of the patriarch. The guard helplessly said that now they do not know where the patriarch is, they can only confirm that they have not left the mother tree of life.
Without a definite target, we had to go to the external reception area of the elves, which was specially used to receive some visitors. Of course, this visit refers to a visit to the leader of the elves. If you just want to enter the spirit City, you don't need to come here.
The two elves who showed us the way must have been here before, so the route was very familiar. We found a mushroom house at the root of the mother tree of life. Although the mushroom house is built in a huge mushroom, the mushroom is not the same as the mushrooms we usually eat. The color of this mushroom is not only colorful, but also very huge. Looking from below, we can see that the top of the mushroom is at least 156 meters high, which means that the mushroom is at least four stories high. Even if it's covered with living tissue and can't be accessed, there's enough living space underneath to divide it into three stories.Although the space is very large, the elves are obviously not short of rooms. Therefore, the mushroom interior is only divided into two floors. However, the height of the mushroom is very high. The first floor is about four meters, which is similar to the height of the roof in the shopping mall.
There is no guard outside the reception room. After entering the interior, it is not a very large room. On the left side of the room is a counter similar to the front desk of a hotel. Behind it is a beautiful fairy in his early twenties. Of course, the appearance of elves is usually very unreliable. The fairy aunts of 600 or 700 years old seem to be very popular with unmarried girls. Therefore, in the elves, we can never judge their age by human appearance.
As soon as the two elves who showed us the way came to the front desk, handed over the leaf touched by the guard and said, ”Hello, we want to see the patriarch.”
The spirit in charge of reception took the leaves and touched them, then handed them back and said at the same time, ”you should have seen that when you came here, something has happened here, so the patriarch may not have time to see you. If you have any requests, you can tell me directly. I'll see if I can find someone who can handle these matters. Of course, if you have to see the patriarch, it's just impossible to determine the time. ”
The two elves who showed us the way looked back to me for advice. After all, it was us who did business. They just came to help. After thinking about it for a while, I took Persephone and went to the counter together. First, I indicated that Persephone could release a little breath of life. After the receiving elves noticed it, I began to say, ”we want to build an elf City, so we want to seek the seed of a mother tree of life. I don't know whether this kind of thing can be done if we don't directly see the patriarch To find other elves to deal with? ”
While I was talking, the other side was staring at polcerfone until I had finished speaking, and then he bumped into me and said, ”everything about the mother tree of life must be carried out by the order of the patriarch, so I'm afraid it can't be bypassed by the patriarch. At present, the patriarch was not likely to meet outsiders. However, the breath of life around you is so strong that I think the patriarch may meet you. You can wait here for a moment. I'll go and pass it on to see if the patriarch is free
”All right, please.”
Although it was a notice, the spirit who received us did not leave the reception desk. She first called out two elves from the inside and asked us to wait in the inner room. Then she turned around and entered a room behind the reception desk. It was estimated that there might be magic communication facilities in it.
We followed the two elves who were in charge of greeting us, but before we arrived and entered the reception room, we heard a thump outside, and the door of the reception desk was pushed open from the outside. The receptionist who just entered the small room opened the door to have a look, and then she ran out directly.
Pushing the door, a female spirit came in. She had long light gold hair and waist length. She was at least 1.75 meters tall. She was long and symmetrical. She was wearing silver white all metal armor. She had a gorgeous sword hanging on the outside of her two hips. The archery is a standard two handed swordsman of the elves, which is similar to the posters in the system template. However, according to the appearance of human beings, the elf is about 30 years old, that is to say, he is a mature type. However, in terms of the life span of the elves, they should be more than 700 years old.
”Celia, Celia. Come on, follow me. Saswell has not come back from Sicily. His army of Moors is not led by anyone. You can supervise it temporarily
”But I am a mage! I don't know how to direct the swordsman group if you ask me to take it. ”
”Even if you're not good at it, you know a little bit better than no one to direct it? Come on, don't delay. Come with me
The spirit who received us was grabbed by the wrist by the spirit who rushed in. The spirit quickly grabbed each other and said, ”wait a minute. Here are some guests who are looking for you
”When is it? I don't have time to meet outsiders. Let them wait first. ” The swordsman who just rushed in immediately grabbed the reception spirit and was about to drag it out.
We have already noticed this side when the swordsman spirit came in. After listening to their conversation, we can't understand that this is the patriarch. I quickly ran over with the others, and at the same time fully unfolded my magic field. The head of the fairy clan on the opposite side was holding the reception spirit to go out. Suddenly, she felt a powerful and bloody magic wave, but then she felt a purer breath of life. These two breath let her a little stupefied.
By this time, I came to them and said, ”Hello, listen to your conversation just now. You should be the leader of the elves in this city of elves? We are a group of outsiders who come here to ask for the seed of a mother tree of life to build a new Elven city. We know that the mother tree of life has a great burden on the mother tree to produce seeds. It seems that you are in some trouble here. To tell you the truth, we are better at fighting, so if you don't object, can we take part in your actions to compensate for part of the reward? ”The other party was stunned for a moment, so I have finished my speech. When she reacts, she has understood what I mean. After thinking about it for two seconds, the patriarch immediately made a decision. ”Although I don't know about your combat effectiveness for the time being, I can feel that your strength is very strong. Since you can get here, it should be introduced by someone, so it is OK to give you a seed as long as you pay the price. I think your proposal is good, but the specific compensation for your action will not be evaluated until the end of the matter. No matter what my assessment is, you can not raise any objection. Of course, I will not deliberately erase your credit. As an elf, I think my credibility should be trustworthy
I nodded: ”lying elves are as rare as non lying humans, so I believe in your credibility. Then, please assign us tasks. ”
”Well, you'll follow me first. We'll walk as we go.”
Because we solved our problem, the person in charge of reception did not delay any more, but went out with the patriarch. When we got outside, we found that there were more than a dozen armed spirit swordsmen standing outside, and each of these swordsmen had a long fighting staff at his back, which showed that these Elves were all senior personnel of magic and martial arts.
After we left the reception center, we went to a main channel out of the island. The patriarch asked, ”can you introduce your abilities and specialties first? I'll get to know something about it before I can arrange tasks for you. ”
Because we are starting to do the task now, and the two elves who showed us the way didn't follow us. Let's see the patriarch, and their mission has been completed, so now only the three of us are following this elf patriarch. I first motioned to Kristina, and then said, ”this is Christina, the elemental mage and the expert in shaping energy. She is called mobile fort in our place. She is especially good at large-scale magic suppression and forbidden spell level magic guidance. She is a mage who pays attention to attack power
After hearing this, the elf patriarch turned to Kristina and asked, ”can I feel your magic power?”
Christina nodded and held out a hand. Then, without seeing what she was doing, a white light ball suddenly appeared on the palm of her hand. When this light ball first appeared, it was only as big as a glass marble, but after it appeared, it immediately began to rotate at high speed, and with its own rotation, its volume also increased rapidly. It took only two seconds to expand from a glass marble to a basketball size. After the appearance of this bright white light ball, there suddenly appeared ten light balls around it, including blue, red, light blue, dark blue, green, brown, purple, gold, black and white. All of these light balls formed a circle around the big light ball in the center, and then they started to circle around the big light ball, which looked disorderly, but in fact, it was very regular. From the outside, it seemed to be atomic As with the magnifying model, the big light sphere in the center is the proton, and the high-speed rotating ones outside are electrons.
People who don't know how to see this thing feel pretty at most, but those who know it can see the terrible part of it.
The light ball in the center is a simple set of elements without attributes, and the speed of its production is the speed of Kristina's magic gathering. Although the light ball looks only the size of a basketball, its internal energy is highly compressed, and the fluctuation of its power is breathtaking. Anyone who has a little bit of a sense of magic will be able to tell how strong Christina is. As for the little balls of light outside the big sphere of light, this is Christina showing her full range of magic control against the sky. She can not only control multiple elements, but also make them appear at the same time, which means that the most troublesome element interference phenomenon of mages is meaningless to her. In addition, those small light balls revolve around the big light ball in the center at high speed without interfering with each other, which is a kind of magic control. These light balls run in different routes and at different speeds, but they don't collide with each other at such a high speed, which requires the mage to have a strong element control. In other words, this is no longer called control, but an instinct. It's like a centipede with so many legs, but it won't trip the right foot with its left foot. This is a kind of instinctive control. If a human is allowed to control the Centipede's body, no matter how seriously you operate it, you will inevitably step on yourself in the end.
