Chapter 497: Genius (4000 Words)
In the extreme north, it is close to the country of frost, but it is not shrouded by snowstorms.
It is called the Dark Green Basin by the people of the Frost Country, and there is another name... that is the Death Basin.
This basin is filled with highly poisonous swamps and mist, and there are a large number of monsters that can kill humans in the depths of the basin.
"Finally home."
Al sat on the roots of a tree tiredly.
"The portal is still under construction, now is not the time to relax our vigilance."
The branches and leaves sounded to remind Al, and at the same time her eyes scanned the forest.
Elder Sindonal is constructing a portal to the Sky City Arthur Crowe.
This type of space-affecting magic is one that the high elves are proficient in.
Without the help of the ice dragon, Elder Sindonal relied on teleportation magic to bring Al and Zhiye from Nolan to the basin thousands of miles away in just one week.
A large number of silver inscriptions surrounded the wrist of the high elf elder, and the space in front of him was torn open in the next second, and a portal constructed of white light appeared in front of them.
"Isn't this already built!"
Al was the first to walk into the portal. When the white light faded, what appeared before her eyes was a hall made of light blue and pure white.
The building material of the hall has a glass texture, and six flags are hung above the hall, and the patterns and inscriptions on each flag are different.
Al glanced around the hall, and soon saw his familiar figure under a banner with an inverted triangle emblem.
"Grandma Enya!" Al kept waving his hands at the second floor of the hall, but the older female elf didn't show any happy expression on her face.
"Sindonal, have you brought back the surviving descendants of the frost elves?"
The five high elves stood under the banners that symbolized their identities in turn, and one of the oldest high elves asked in a somewhat anxious tone.
"We found the descendant of the frost elf, and their family's holy tree also resided in her body as predicted by Priest Enya."
Elder Sindonal's news caused the other five high elf elders to show joyful expressions on their faces, but this expression turned into astonishment when accompanied by the next sentence.
"But the descendant of the frost elf chose to stay in the human city of Nolan." Elder Sindonal said.
"Stay in a human city?! Sindonal, is that frost elf imprisoned by humans?"
"I thought so before I came here." Elder Sindonal's voice was full of helplessness, "But that frost elf voluntarily stayed in the human city, and even the holy tree of their clan did the same thing." choose."
"Voluntary... how is it possible."
The five elf elders seemed unwilling to believe what Elder Sindonal said.
"Elders, the reason why the frost elf stayed in Nolan is because the humans in Nolan adore her."
Al suddenly stood up at this moment, and the branches and leaves behind her instantly grabbed her, but they failed to cover Al's mouth.
"The sacred tree of the frost elves has collected the beliefs of humans, so it has grown very fast. If we can also collect the beliefs of humans, then Arthur Crowe will not face the crisis of energy depletion..."
"Al!"
By the time Zhiye reached out to cover Al's mouth, it was already too late.
Her words completely violated the taboo of the five elf elders. What's worse is that Al sneaked out of the sky city!
"Al, you must learn to keep silent, and you violated the commandment by leaving the sky without permission. As punishment, you will be locked up in the hall of meditation for a whole year!"
The high elf named Enya immediately began to reprimand Al, which was also a means of protection.
It would be even more serious if other high elf elders were to be punished.
"Zhiye took her to the meditation hall!" Enya said loudly.
"Understood." Branches immediately grabbed Al's arm, and when Al's resistance was useless, they dragged her out of the hall together with another high elf who came out of the corner of the hall.
The Hall of Contemplation is very far away from here, but there is a complete transmission system in Arthur Crowe, allowing the occupants to easily reach every corner of the city.
Branches and leaves took Al to the Hall of Contemplation, which was also the place where the energy priestesses trained.
"I'm not wrong about the branches and leaves! Obtaining the belief of human beings may be the only way to get Arthur Crowe out of the energy crisis." Al said a little unhappy.
"Contact with the human world is taboo for us." Al, the answerer with a deadpan face.
"Taboo? But doesn't the magic net keep you connected with Nolan?"
Al opened the interface of his magic net, flipping through a group of posts on the caster forum.
"These are all messages left by humans."
Speaking of this, Al directly moved closer to Zhiye, so close that even his cheeks almost touched Zhiye's body.
"During the journey, Zhiye, didn't you also listen to Nolan's voice on time every day? You also posted a post on the forum asking when the next part of "Sherlock Holmes" will be updated, and I replied to that post."
"This...doesn't count as human contact."
Zhiye's expression was a little stiff, and she answered Al with the same stiff voice.
"Even if the elders don't let me contact humans, Arthur Crowe's energy is still drying up."
Al shook the pendant hanging around his neck. When they left Nolan, Tai Lin also presented them with two leaves of the sacred tree as a souvenir.
So even without the crystallization of the World Tree, Al can still touch the magic net in the Hall of Contemplation.
"Branches and leaves! I can gain Nolan's human worship through the magic net! Just like Tailin."
Al's voice sounded very excited. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this idea was feasible and could easily solve the crisis that the high elves were facing.
"Miss Tylyn's singing is lovely, but Al you can't even finish the first chapter of our elf poetry."
Zhiye found the initiative again, and she stared at the trainee elf priest in front of her.
Although Al's physical fitness and magical talent in all aspects far surpassed that of Zhiye, it is a pity that this girl is rare among the high elves in a hundred years... a sound idiot.
"Then I can try acting."
Al lifted the non-existent skirt on his body and spun around like Belle, but he couldn't maintain his body balance at all. It was Zhiye who reached out and held her arm, which kept Al from falling.
"It's even more impossible." Branches and leaves hit her mercilessly.
If you want to become famous through acting, you need more than just acting skills, you also need a perfect script and a whole team.
Moreover, this high elf's acting skills can be said to be basically zero. This girl belongs to the type who can be easily abducted by others when she walks on the street.
"That branch, you..." Al turned his attention to his friend.
"I can write one or two books on the immovable library at most, but human beings don't seem to like my stories." Zhiye immediately shook his head to make Al give up this idea, "Al, you usually look at the forums on the magic net, play games It's okay, don't make extra plans."
"play games?"
Al's inspiration seemed to be lit by the branches and leaves again.
"Look at the branches and leaves!"
Al opened the newly established "Horizon" website of Monet, and then clicked on the video that ranked first in the ranking list of the whole site.
"Thousands of humans have posted comments below, and they all seem to adore the controller of this dwarf! The operation of this dwarf is still very simple."
"..."
Zhiye also tried the game "Super Mario" in his spare time, and the control is really very simple.
Apart from controlling the direction of the dwarf's walking and the acceleration and jump keys, there are no redundant operations.
It can be said that it is a simple game that even a fool can learn to play.
But Zhiye stared at the uncle dwarf on the screen who jumped up and down and escaped the enemy's attack in a thrilling way...
"come on."
Branches and leaves didn't dampen Al's self-confidence at this time. If Al indulged in studying this game, she would be able to avoid unnecessary troubles.
"I can't wait to see Granny Enya's surprised expression. Leave the task of saving Arthur Crowe to me!"
Hearing Al's excited voice, all Zhiye could do was pat her on the shoulder and leave the meditation hall.
………………
Two days later, Nolan's Hearthstone Tavern.
Qiao Xiu spread out a picture on the desk that recorded the general topography of the world.
"Those three high elves should be here." Tai Lin pointed to an area north of the border of the Frost Kingdom and said, "I've been staying here for almost two days without any change."
"Dark Green Basin? Is this where the Sky City is located?"
The first reason why Joshua gave the crystals to the three high elves was to get them into the magic net.
But it's a pity that the high elves seem to be very restrained, or they are very resistant to the products of outsiders. After such a long time, the magic net link that Qiao Xiu can feel is only two high elves.
After the high elf named Sindonar brought the original spar of the magic net back to the main city, he did not let other high elves touch it at all.
The second reason is to determine the location of the castle in the sky.
"Perhaps it's time to visit at a suitable time."
Qiao Xiu was basically sure that their city was above this basin.
"I chatted with Zhiye last night, and she told me that the elders of the high elves still reject outsiders." Tai Lin said with some concern.
"That's where it gets a little tricky."
After Qiao Xiu received the invitation letter from the World Tree of the high elves, he had been thinking about turning that World Tree into a new server.
A server floating in the sky! This is definitely a product of the top of the technology tree.
With the World Tree of the high elves, Qiao Xiu can not only bring the Frost Country into the magic net, but even half of the land of the Holy Church may be covered by the magic net.
At that time, Joshua would just lie down and wait for the cultural victory.
"Can we only find a breakthrough from those two high elves?"
A series of codes appeared in front of Qiao Xiu's eyes, and the white cat of Tai Lin's family appeared on Qiao Xiu's head again under Qiao Xiu's call.
Relying on the computing power provided by the white cat, Joshua easily found two user profiles named 'Green Leaf' and 'Genius Al'.
The user of 'Green Leaf' is the high elf named Branch Leaf. She hasn't been able to browse the library section recently. Fortunately, this girl was not corrupted by the author named Denisa.
The most clicked and viewed books were "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" and "Late Night Tales" that Joshua temporarily posted on it.
Because Joshua needs to make certain localization changes in "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes", the update is very time-consuming, basically maintaining a weekly level.
This also led to a lot of readers in the book review area urging for updates.
"Why do I feel that there are more and more people?" Joshua looked at the ranking of "Sherlock Holmes", at the beginning he still didn't move the bottom book in the library, but more and more spellcasters seemed to like it This wise detective has successfully entered the top ten rankings, and there is a steady upward trend.
"Mr. Qiao Xiu! I also like this book very much!"
Tailin suddenly said seriously to Joshua.
This probably means to make Qiao Xiu's update a little faster.
"Uh... well, I'll take some time to write more in a few days."
Qiao Xiu looked through the comments left by Luye, and found that most of them were analyzing the direction of the plot.
This high elf girl also tried to write a book herself. Unfortunately, her works are not many words. In the current library that has a collection of more than 3,000 books, it ranks around 2,000.
Come on, I believe you can also become a great god.
After Joshua left her an encouraging comment under her book, he began to check the dynamics of another high elf named 'Genius Al'.
her words...
"What's the matter with this girl?" Qiao Xiu was a little surprised when he looked at the data he retrieved.
This high elf stayed in the game section of the caster forum for two days, and the scores of the games she played were not high, but in the video website 'Magic Web Vision', a video she made The ranking of the game video rushed to the fifth place in the ranking.
"Super Mario Walkthrough Video 1"
A very simple name.
Can the strategy that is basically the bottom of the score in the game be popular?
Qiao Xiu tentatively clicked into this video.
The high elf didn't seem to understand how to use the software for recording the screen, and recorded the desktop for more than three minutes.
"Huh? Has it started? It seems to have started... Wait..."
In these three minutes, this elf girl was talking to herself. Fortunately, her voice was very pleasant, or it should be described as 'cute', so Joshua patiently read the desktop for the first three minutes, Finally, she successfully entered the game interface of "Super Mario".
