Chapter 2012: Blackwood Forest

When the sky was slightly bright, the carriage finally arrived at the junction of the Blackwood Forest and the Blackwood City.

Jia Luoli got out of the carriage with the suitcase containing the luggage.

This is a post station outside the Blackwood Forest, since Jialuoli's family reached an agreement with the elves of the Blackwood Forest hundreds of years ago.

The inn around the Blackwood Forest has developed into a small-scale exchange. The elves exchange some special herbs and ores with humans for some magical machines or other novelties.

The current time is in the early morning, and some humans and black wood elves can still be seen in this station.

"You can go back to the manor, you don't need to follow me."

After Jia Luoli gave this order to the driver of the carriage, she walked into the Blackwood Forest with her suitcase alone.

The reason why this forest is named "Black Wood" is not because of the color of the trees, but because the trees in this forest are too large, and the trunks of almost every tree are as thick as the legs of a hundred-meter-high giant.

It was a wrong choice to walk into this forest in the early morning. There is no lighting equipment, and the surrounding huge vegetation blocks the sunlight. Jia Luoli can only rely on her own memory and walk into the forest along the road built by the elves in the dark.

But not long after, the fungus growing in the forest emitted a faint light, and some elemental creatures similar to fireflies emitted light, allowing Jialuoli to barely see the road ahead.

"Stop...humans."

A voice sounded in front of Jialuoli, and three black wood elves with bows and arrows came out from the shadows. Two of the black wood elves aimed their longbows at Jialuoli. It is possible to ejaculate through Jialuoli's body.

The hostility of these black wood elves surprised Jia Luoli... Although the black wood elves will not allow humans to step into the depths of the forest, they will only discourage those humans who stray into the forest from leaving. The unreasonable people who listen to persuasion will entertain with longbows and arrows.

The elf guard who had been following Jia Luoli wanted to show his figure and let the three rude fellows take back their bows, but it didn't take long for the ground to tremble slightly.

"Calm down, she is the daughter of a human who serves Narushi..."

An old but steady voice sounded behind the three Blackwood elves, and a huge brown bear appeared behind them, and a Blackwood elf who seemed to have entered old age appeared with the brown bear.

"But Elder Sefarn, we shouldn't let a human step into the forest under the current situation."

"The holy tree Narushi accepted this human daughter. She is the priest of Narushi and also a member of us."

The elf elder known as Cephane patted the shoulder of one of the elf youths, and they put away their bows and hostility.

And Elder Sephaen walked up to Jialuoli together with the huge brown bear.

"Master Cephane."

Jia Luoli bowed to the aged Blackwood Elf. He can be said to be the wisest elder in the history of the Blackwood Elf. It was he who led the Blackwood Elf to establish a communication hub with humans.

"Carolie, you've grown up... the last time I saw you you could hide in Etter's hair."

The elf elder looked at the black swan. The growth rate of human beings is indeed too fast for the elves to imagine.

"Sit on Etter's back, and Fleur can join if you're tired."

Elder Sefarn stroked the fur of the brown bear beside him with his hands. This huge brown bear is a monster that inhabits the Blackwood Forest. When the Elder Elder was young, he became a partner with this giant bear. This relationship has continued until now.

"Um!"

Jia Luoli stretched out her hand and stroked the moist nose of the brown bear, and then climbed onto the back of the brown bear together with her elf guard.

With the help of this brown bear named 'Etter', Jialuoli enjoys the feeling of sleeping on a soft bed and traveling on the road...

After about ten minutes' journey, the darkness around the Blackwood Forest was gradually dispelled, replaced by more and more plants with different lights appearing in the forest, and there are also glowing insects flying in the sky .

Every time she visits the elves' territory, Jialuoli feels like she has come to a fairyland...

After arriving at the place where the Black Wood Elves lived, the brown bear lay down on the ground, and Jia Luoli and her elf guards stepped on the slightly damp ground with their luggage.

It's a pity that this wonderland experience didn't last long.

Roaring, enough to pierce anyone's eardrums, suddenly resounded through the entire Black Wood Elves, and the terrifying sound waves turned into substance and impacted this area.

The brown bear named Etter immediately stretched out its furry paws to block Jialuoli and her elf guard... The surrounding leaves were shaken and fell to the ground.

Jia Luoli covered her ears, still feeling suffocated by something grabbing her heart.

Dragon... This is the only thought in Jialuoli's mind, and only a terrifying creature like a giant dragon can make such a roar.

Fortunately, the brown bear blocked most of the impact for Jialuoli, otherwise Jialuoli might be deaf during the time she stayed in the Blackwood Forest.

After the roar was over, the brown bear rubbed its wet nose against Jialuoli who was hiding in its arms, as if to confirm Jialuoli's condition.

"I'm fine..."

In order to express her gratitude, Jia Luoli took out some snacks such as candies from her luggage and fed them to the brown bear, who swallowed them together with the packaging in one gulp.

"Elder Cefarn, what happened to the Brass Dragon...?"

Jia Luoli's elf guard stepped out of the protection of the brown bear and came to the side of the elf elder. She has lived in the Blackwood Forest for so many years, and she has never heard such a terrifying roar from the brass dragon.

There is also an extremely violent breath in the roar.

"The guardian of the World Tree has some kind of strange disease."

Elder Sepharn glanced around, the Blackwood elves living here were all worried because of the roar of the brass dragon.

"The disease is gradually eroding its sanity... We are trying to find a cure, but the results are not ideal, so now we can only communicate with it constantly, hoping to keep it rational, but the effect is getting worse recently. Weaker."

"Weak? Isn't that brass dragon very fond of talking?"

Jia Luoli's elf guard, Fleur, has seen that brass dragon. If she insists on evaluating it, she is the type of 'you will die if you don't chat with others'. Whenever it meets a new human, or any intelligent person Creatures chatter away with each other about a whole host of strange issues.

"The words of the elf elders do not interest the Guardian."

Elder Sephaen sighed. The elves of the Blackwood clan live in this forest all year round. Young elves rarely go out to venture out, and the knowledge of old elves only stays in the world around the Blackwood Forest. There are also books exchanged from humans.

The brass dragon, the guardian of the World Tree, who is far older than the elves, has already memorized these experiences and knowledge by heart. Of course, such an old topic cannot arouse its interest.

"Elder Sefarn, I think I can have a pleasant conversation with that brass dragon."

At this time, Jialuoli sent a request to Elder Sephaen with appropriate language and etiquette, but her elf guard still ignored the 'camera' hidden behind Jialuoli.
