Lucien frowned and stared at Ming Na, slowly recognizing who she was. The tense expression on his face relaxed a little, but he was still very cold: "Is it you? Why are you here? Where is Xiao?" He glanced at Glancing at Alex: "Who is he?"
Minna hurriedly said: "Grandpa is not here, this is my friend Alex. Lucien, please let me enter the forest. I have something very important to see you."
Lucien said coldly: "You should be very aware of the prohibition imposed by our queen, right? Go back quickly! Ludlow won't see you!" After that, he waved his hands to his companions to turn around and leave.
Minna hurriedly took a few steps forward: "Don't go, Lucien! I'm not just here to see Ludlow, I really have something very important to ask to see the Elf Queen. Alex and I are here to represent Four human countries, no, maybe the entire continent came to ask for her help."
Lucien turned around sharply: "Don't drag us elves into your internal disputes as humans! We have no interest in those dirty things!"
"That's not the case." Minna quickly denied, "Lucien, this incident does not only happen among humans, but also has something to do with you elves. Do you still remember the reason why the Elf Queen decided to seal off the forest? Don't you want to know? , who is spreading rumors about treasures outside and indirectly killing the children of your clan?!"
Before Lucien could respond, the elves next to him made some moves. Two of them whispered Lucien's name. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Then come with me." Riding the silver The wolf took two steps, then turned back and pointed at Alex: "Magic, you stay."
Alex was stunned and turned to look at Ming Na. Ming Na hurriedly said: "Can you please let him go with you? Although he is a magician, he is a messenger sent by Van A. He will know some things better. .”
Lucien looked at Alex for a few times: "A believer in the God of Light? Humph, it's not much better!" He waved his hand. Nothing was said, but it didn't stop Alex from following.
The elves rode the silver wolf first. Lucien left the team halfway and took Minna and Alex into the forest. The other elves continued their patrol work.
Ming Na followed Silver Wolf closely to avoid losing track. From the corner of her eye, she saw Alex was a little exhausted, so she reached out to give him a hand. Alex's face blushed slightly and he quickly broke away his hand: "It's okay, I can go by myself." Then he looked at Ming Na with complicated eyes: "You are actually a girl..."
Ming Na grinned. He felt a little proud: "You didn't recognize it, did you?"
Alex gritted his teeth: "Yeah. I didn't recognize it..." He finally understood what he was joking about a few nights ago. Why is "Minte" angry? He was so unjust. If I had known earlier that my friend was a girl. He would never make that kind of joke! He looked at Ming Na secretly. He couldn't figure it out. This person behaves like a grown man's friend. I spent so much time with him again. How could it be a female land? ! A group of three people walked through the dense forest. Came to a clearing. Minna immediately recognized the location of the tree house where she had lived for a winter. Only the bare branches were seen. Now the green leaves are growing again. The branches are wrapped with thick ground flower vines. Almost covering the original tree house. Two more cabins were built in the canopy. One of the doorways. It was only one meter away from the nearest big branch. Long green vines hang down from the branches. Attached is a small wooden board. It forms a swing.
There are rattan deck chairs placed in front of the tree house. Very delicate and stable. There is a wooden plate placed on the small table next to it. Only half of the fruit inside was eaten. There is also an upside-down book next to the plate.
Ming Na couldn't help but stop. Look around. I want to find out the current owner of the tree house. It's a pity to look left and right. No one was seen. I was very disappointed.
Alex has since discovered that there is a tree house here. Just keep watching carefully. It is inferred that someone must live here usually. Seeing Ming Na's expression. Then he asked in a low voice: "Who lives here?"
Ming Na pursed her lips and said, "That's my little uncle."
"Uncle?!" Alex wondered if he heard correctly, "Isn't it true that humans are not allowed to enter the Elf Forest?"
Mingna opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain. Suddenly she heard a cold snort from Lucien in front of her, and she hurriedly pulled Alex to follow him.
After walking far, the tree house was completely hidden in the shadow of the trees. Ming Na looked back a few more times, feeling a little reluctant to leave. Suddenly, they saw a thin figure flying through several tree canopies, jumping onto a tree about 20 meters in front of them, and shouted to Lucien: "Uncle Lucien, can you help mom deliver something?" "
Lucien shook his head lightly and pointed at the two people behind him: "I want to take them to see the queen, just passing by. Princess Fnoya didn't ask me to deliver anything today."
The man's face was full of disappointment. He glanced at Ming Na and the two of them curiously, and suddenly felt that the girl walking in front looked familiar. Ming Na couldn't help but feel excited and shouted: "Xiao La!"
Ludlow was stunned and immediately recognized the girl with brown hair and green eyes: "You are...Mingna?! You have become so big!"
Ming Na smiled happily and tilted her head: "You have grown up a lot, ten centimeters taller?"
Ludlow seemed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Twelve centimeters! It's twelve centimeters!"
He still looks like a child, and you can't tell that he is already in his twenties at all. However, his height has increased a little compared to then, and his round face has become thinner. His chin is pointed and he has silver-blond hair. Her eyes are becoming more and more cute like those of angels. He was dressed much better than before, but the milky white fabric had a lot of dust on it, which slightly ruined his image.
He looked at Ming Na, with joy in his eyes, but when he saw Alex behind her, he couldn't help but feel confused, so he jumped down from the tree, walked deep into the forest with Ming Na and others, and then whispered Asked her: "Are you coming to see me? Where is your grandpa? Didn't he come?" Mingna also replied in a low voice: "Grandpa didn't come. He went to see his great-grandfather and great-grandmother because they were sick and needed care. . I haven’t seen grandpa for a long time, and I don’t know when he will come back.”
"Oh?" Ludlow pouted and glanced at Alex, "Then who is this person? Your partner?"
Ming Na almost choked and quickly denied: "He is my friend, a friend! He is not my partner!"
Alex pouted on the side: "Of course I was not her partner, until an hour ago. I didn't even know she was a girl."
Ming Na glanced at him sideways, and he turned away. Ludlow was a little curious: "Why can't he recognize that you are a girl?"
Minna snickered, bent down and approached Ludlow, and lowered her voice: "Do you still remember that I once said that I knew an old magician. He made potions that could change the color of people's hair and eyes? He He also made a gender-changing potion, and I drank his magic potion and turned into a boy, so Alex couldn’t recognize me."
Ludlow was very surprised: "There is such a medicine? Why didn't you show it to me back then?" He looked Mingna up and down: "What will it look like if you become a boy?"
"It looks almost like this, but the face is a little different. She will be taller and stronger." Ming Na thought for a while and smiled, "I still have a bottle of transformation potion. When I finish the matter, How about I show it to you?" Ludlow nodded quickly and asked, "What are you going to do when you come back? Tell me."
Ming Na was about to say. Then she heard Lucien's cold voice from the front: "We're here, just wait here while I go to invite the Queen." Only then did she realize that her group had arrived at an open space surrounded by big trees. There were treehouses of various sizes on the tree. A dozen elves were clinging to the windows, looking at them curiously, but were immediately scolded by the adult elves and reluctantly retracted their heads.
Ming Na was a little hesitant: "Isn't this the Elf King's City?" The royal city in the distance, built entirely of stone, was majestic, but it was at least two hundred meters away from here.
"Non-elves are not allowed to enter the royal city." Ludlow said calmly, "If I don't get permission, I can't go in. Let's just wait here."
They didn't have to wait long. Soon. Several people "floated" from the Elf Royal Family, including three beauties. The one on the left is wearing white and the one on the right is wearing black. Minna has seen them all, one is Little Ladi's mother, Princess Fnoya, and the other is the fierce Princess Aurora. The one in the middle looks somewhat similar to the two princesses, but she is younger. He is much taller and has an indescribable temperament. He feels somewhat similar to Alfred III and Gale II. Minna guessed that this was probably the Elf Queen, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay her respects. Alex imitated her movements and saluted the Queen.
The other two, one was Lucien and the other was holding a green wooden staff. They were also elves that they had met once before. They seemed to be some elders of the elves.
Princess Funoya was still so gentle and kind, but her eyebrows were a little less sad. She smiled at Minna first: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have grown so big? How is your family?"
Mingna hurriedly replied: "Very good, so is my grandpa, but he is currently taking care of his sick grandpa and grandma and is not on the mainland, so he can't come to see you... Please don't blame him."
Princess Funoa just smiled and said nothing. Lucien frowned and said to Ming Na: "Don't worry about chatting for now, tell me, what is the truth you know?"
Ming Na hurriedly said: "After my grandfather and I left the Elf Forest, we entered Nuojia from the snowy mountains in the north. We met several mercenaries on the way. They came to hunt for treasure after hearing the rumors about the treasure, but they entered After arriving in the snow-capped mountains, I heard that I was caught in an avalanche, so I didn't make it. I think there must have been a lot of mercenaries who came here, right?"
The Elf Queen did not respond. Fnoya smiled and nodded: "There are indeed many, but they were all driven away by Lucien and the others."
"In fact, they all came here after being instigated by others!" Minna continued, "We found the person who spread the rumors, and then followed him to Nomonka. We heard him talking to his accomplices, saying that his The purpose is to cause the elves to be dissatisfied with humans, seal off the forest, and completely cut off contact with humans! And his accomplice is responsible for persuading the monks of the Light Cult of Vana to open the country to allow foreigners to enter and exit freely. "
Alex stepped forward after hearing this: "I can prove this. Originally, Vana had been restricting the entry and exit of foreigners. Later, after others lobbied, they agreed to open the border. Unexpectedly, many conflicts broke out soon, and some Many Vana civilians were harmed, and even the archbishop unfortunately passed away. A few months ago, the Central Holy See ordered the country to be sealed off, just like the Elf Forest, completely cutting off contact with the outside world."
Aurora said coldly: "Do you want us to know how despicable and aggressive you humans are? Even the Van'a people, who have always been famous for their indifference to the world, are suffering from it?"
"But that is simply a conspiracy!" Ming Na raised her voice, "As soon as Fan'a closed the country, the real mastermind launched an attack on all the countries in the mainland. Her Majesty the Queen, that is the Demon Realm! It is the Warcraft and the Demon Race!"
The elves were shocked, and Aurora was the first to refute: "Stop talking nonsense! The demons are blocked in the west of the continent, and it is impossible to cross the Sonnia Mountains and the Devil's Desert!"
"It's true!" Mingna quickly took out a map with a magic circle on it, "This is the magic circle we discovered, do you recognize it?"
Lucien quickly stepped forward to take the drawing and gave it to the Queen. He glanced at the paper unintentionally, his expression a little gloomy. The Elf Queen only took a quick look at the drawings and understood what was going on: "So, Van'a has already participated in the war?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Jada said respectfully, "All countries in the mainland have formed an alliance to fight against the invasion of the Demon Realm. After Van'a learned the truth, he immediately joined the war, but now the human countries are just barely holding on, unable to defeat the monsters in one fell swoop. Destroy. We heard that more than a hundred years ago, the elves helped humans win, so we came to ask for your help."
The Elf Queen was silent and Princess Fnoya hesitated to speak, but Princess Aurora sneered: "This is your human business. Don't try to drag us elves into it anymore and talk about building a beautiful world where all races live in peace. We will never trust you again!"
Alex said: "Why do you say that? Aren't elves a member of the mainland?" He was a little anxious and wanted to persuade him a few more words, but Mingna stopped him with his hand.
Minna looked at Princess Aurora and said with some hesitation: "I know what you are worried about, and I don't want to say more good things for mankind. Although there are still a majority of good people among mankind, there are some despicable guys that I can't bear to talk to. They stay together. But this thing is different. If human society is really occupied by demons, the next one to suffer is likely to be the elves. Even if it is for you, please help us! I don't expect you to All we need to help is a little bit of the Fountain of Life, and as long as we can restore the power of the Holy Rod of Light, we will have a way to deal with the monsters!"
Aurora wanted to say something else, but the Elf Queen raised her hand to stop her. The latter said calmly: "I understand. Although I also want to help, unfortunately, we may not be able to do anything this time."
Ming Na was stunned: "Why?!"
"Because the fountain of life dried up just a hundred years ago."
(I seem to have become a king of line stepping recently...)
