Chapter 338 Gradually Chaotic Forest (V)
After that, Katie didn't make a sound again. Perhaps Fang Zheng's "life motto" was too shocking for this young lady who walked out of the house for the first time, and she had already found a place alone in a daze. And Fina seemed to have thought of something, she sat by the stream without saying a word, holding the scepter tightly, quietly watching the river flowing down.
Only Nimf, Hai Lien and the astrologer sister are still busy taking care of those elves. Fangzheng also asked Nimfu if he could heal the pain in the hearts of these elves just like blocking the memory of the mage in the forest. However, Nimf told him hesitantly that forcibly distorting and changing the mental memory of others might bring uncontrollable consequences, so Fang Zheng had no choice but to give up in the end.
Fortunately, not long after that, because the patrol team did not return for a long time, the people in the elf village also organized a rescue team to look for it, and after seeing the signal from the elf girl, they joined Fangzheng and his party, and now... ...
"I have learned everything from my countrymen, and thank you for your help, stranger."
An elf wearing emerald green leather armor, a cloak, and a longbow jumped down from a branch like a dexterous cat, landed firmly in front of Fang, and then respectfully saluted him as an elf.
"Although the child did not describe to us in detail what happened to our compatriots, we have learned from the wind what happened to them. Thank you for avenging my compatriots and saving them from their tragic fate. rescued from it."
"Not so polite."
Looking at the elf in front of him who seemed to be a year or two older than himself, but with an old-fashioned tone like a weather-beaten sage, Fang Zheng smiled helplessly.
"I am also a paladin, and I will still draw my sword to help when the road is uneven."
"Paladin………"
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the elf blinked curiously, and carefully looked at Fang Zheng's clothes -- well, the clothes were indeed very different from those of a paladin.
"In any case, you and your companions saved our people. Of course, we will not lose courtesy to you. Please come to the village with us. At least... let us entertain you to express our gratitude."
"This... Miss."
Facing the elf in front of him, Fangzheng hesitated for a moment. Although he could guess that the elf in front of him might be ten times his age, he still used such a word cautiously.
"Perhaps you have heard from your companions that my companions and I came here for the assessment mission of the Alliance of Order, and our destination is the snow peak. We have no intention of staying in the Forest of Life for long To bother everyone, and it might not be good to say this... After all, your fellow clansmen have encountered such a thing... It seems that they are not in the mood to entertain us."
"Anyway, they survived."
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the elf captain looked at Fang Zheng much softer.
"Although a few compatriots returned to the embrace of mother nature to sleep, most of them survived in the end, and did not swallow their last breath in despair under the wanton abuse of those evil and ugly monsters. Of course, I I also know that the next life will be difficult for them, but I believe that my compatriots will overcome all this, as long as they are alive, there is hope."
Speaking of this, Captain Elf paused for a moment, then glanced at the others behind Fangzheng.
"So, you are our benefactors, we will not repay you, and it is already afternoon, it will be very dangerous to enter the ice and snow peak at this time. Moreover, as residents here, although we are most of the time The activities are in the forest, but we are still a little more familiar with the situation on the top of the ice and snow than outsiders. Maybe we can still help you a little bit."
"In that case, then I would be more respectful than obedient."
Now that the elf captain said it was for this reason, Fangzheng would naturally not refuse any more. And what the other party said is not wrong, after all, they are new here, and if it comes to familiarity with this place, it is natural to rely on dwarves and elves. Moreover, in the village of the elves, maybe some clues about the entrustment can also be found.
The reason why he refused before was just to avoid embarrassment. It would be fine if he was simply killed, but in Fangzheng's opinion, the atmosphere of the whole village must not be much better after so many elves have encountered such "restricted level" things. However, these outsiders should not go to make fun of themselves. But now it seems that his understanding of the elves seems to be too little.
Of course, the girls were very concerned about the elves' invitations. After all, elves are a race that seldom go out and have contact with humans. In many cases, they are only seen in some border areas. The homeland of the elves is even more of a mystery to other races, but even so, there are stories about the beautiful dream of the homeland of the elves among many bards.
Therefore, the girls were very happy that they and others could be invited into the gathering place of the elves, and since no one objected, Fang Zheng naturally couldn't say anything, so he followed the elves to their village.
The gathering place of the elves is located by a calm stream in the depths of the Forest of Life, but unlike the huge gathering place everyone imagined, it is just a small village with more than a hundred elves living in it. It can be seen that it is made of branches and vines, which is similar to a yurt-like hut. Although it does not have the patchwork beauty of a human city, it has a unique and exquisite natural style.
And when Fangzheng and the others entered the village, the other elves who stayed in the village had already come to greet them at the entrance of the village. They didn't say anything, but sang a quiet song in elf language in a low voice.
"It's a song of tranquility."
Listening to the singing in her ears, Fina explained to the others in a low voice.
"This is the song that the elves sang for the returning brave after the battle. In order to make the souls of those elves who died in the battle peaceful, and to welcome other elves back home safely."
"This is a bit different from humans. Humans seem to prefer to praise the winners."
Hearing Fina's explanation, Nimofu, who was holding Charmander, blinked curiously.
"For the elves, they just fight to protect their homes and forests, but even that fight...is just as sad."
After that, Fangzheng and others were arranged in the reception hall, and the elves who had gathered here to look at these foreigners with curiosity also dispersed quickly. It didn't take long for the whole village to recover again. calm.
"It's so beautiful..."
Holding the little fire dragon in her arms, Nymph stared at the elf village in front of her. At this moment, the sun was setting, and the bright red light was shining in the air of the village through the gaps in the shade of the trees. You can see several birds with beautiful feathers chirping and dancing in the forest. The forest, which originally looked a little dark because of the sunset, now gives people a warm and comfortable feeling.
"But I still feel that Tiandao Palace is more beautiful."
"yes?"
Hearing Nimf's emotion, Fangzheng also glanced at the little angel beside him, and Nimf nodded excitedly.
"Because the Tiandao Palace gives people the feeling that they can fly freely in the sky. Here... I always feel that I can't use it well. Ah, but the scenery here is not bad, so let me sing a song for everyone. !"
"No, forget it."
Hearing this, Fangzheng couldn't help but tremble suddenly.
To be honest, this little angel like Nimfu is good at almost everything, she is obedient and obedient, and can help Fang Zheng in every aspect. Apart from her lack of direct combat power, she has almost no shortcomings.
No, it should be said that the little angel also has a fatal problem.
That is singing.
Fangzheng clearly remembered that the first time he enjoyed the little angel's singing was the second night after they arrived at Tiandao Palace. Since they had nothing to do, they found a place on the grassland to hold a bonfire party. During the period, the little angel proposed to sing for everyone by herself. Since Nymph's voice was very pleasant, everyone agreed to her request immediately without much consideration.
And then... there is no more.
When Fangzheng woke up again, it was already noon the next day, and almost everyone except Nimfu lost consciousness, including Charmander and the little milk cat, who looked like they were about to go to the other side of the underworld. Even Hecate leaned directly against the linden tree next to her and passed out, so that when she woke up, this normally calm, taciturn but very reliable great witch trembled for the first time. I can't even hold the tin stick!
As for what Nymph sang that night...
Sorry, Fangzheng has no memory at all.
Or rather, no one remembers.
There is no problem when humming on weekdays, why does it have such a powerful destructive power once it is seriously sung?
"Hey---?"
Hearing Fangzheng's objection, Nimfu showed a slightly dissatisfied expression, but before she could say anything, there was a knock on the door outside the house.
"Please come in."
Hearing the knock on the door, Fangzheng also heaved a sigh of relief, and said hastily. Since she opened her heart knot, the little angel's attitude towards him has become closer and closer, and she no longer begs him not to abandon herself as before. This is the good side, but the bad side is that the little angel has gradually started to have a temper, but... Fang Zheng really can't agree to her request!
If the entire elf village is wiped out, then there will be a big problem!
"Squeak."
Accompanied by Fangzheng's voice, the door was gently pushed open, and then the elf captain that Fangzheng and others had seen before walked in with a smile.
"I've kept you waiting for a long time. Next, we will hold a banquet. If you don't mind, please come and join us."
