The Elf Queen slowly approached the spring, her eyes rested on the crystal bottle in Alex's hand, and then turned to the pale Ludlow: "Child, I thought... you were on the side of our elves."
Ludlow lowered his head and apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry, grandma... I, I just want to help Ming Na... Father's world, Ming Na's world, if one day is really occupied by those ugly monsters, I really Can’t imagine…”
Ming Na took a step forward: "Your Majesty the Queen, please don't punish Xiaola, he is just..."
"That's enough!" The Elf Queen interrupted her, but her tone was quite gentle, "This is our own business, so don't worry about it."
Minna became even more anxious when she heard this, and Alex helped her persuade: "Your Majesty, after all, Ludlow discovered this spring. Isn't this a great contribution? He gave us the spring water to let us The elves will not be invaded by the Demon Realm in the future, please..."
"Young man! Don't think you can deceive me!" The Elf Queen looked at him with a cold look, "You have noticed my arrival just now, right? Just as I can easily detect your light magic, you It’s also easy to spot the traces of our elves. But you deliberately said that, did you want to deceive my trust?!”
Alex was startled and slightly disappointed. He didn't expect that his little thoughts would be discovered. The Elf Queen is indeed an old guy who has lived for thousands of years.
Minna glanced at Alex in surprise, but her friend's actions were also to achieve her goal. She didn't say anything, and turned to the Elf Queen: "Your Majesty, you today... no, yesterday during the day. Didn't you say Do you also want to help? Now that we have the fountain of life, why did you change your stance? We really, really need these springs."
The Elf Queen said calmly: "It's true. I once said I was willing to help. However, your behavior has disappointed me. It was Ludlow's fault for hiding the spring water, and your companion actually wanted to take it without telling you. What's the difference between a thief and a thief? We elves are willing to help you, but this is how you repay us! Although what you just said was quite honest. But when your companions were getting water, you didn't stop them. Did you also think that first? Take away the spring water and it won’t matter whether we answer or not?!”
"That's not the case!" Ming Na hurriedly defended, "This place is so far away from the Elf King City, and we have to cross the snow-capped mountains on our way back. It's too troublesome to go back and forth, so I didn't stop Alex. I thought you must I will agree. So I just want to save time. Her Majesty the Queen, if you are angry, you can scold us, but please allow us to take away the spring water. Humanity really needs it! Moreover, we stopped the monsters, and the elves can also Out of danger, right?”
The Elf Queen smiled disdainfully: "Since when have we elves needed you humans to protect us? How ridiculous! The elves have always had to rely on themselves to protect themselves! Don't think that if the human world falls, we elves will fall to be slaughtered by others. The situation! We have enough ability to keep the enemy out of the forest!"
Ming Na endured it. But still couldn't help it. He opened his mouth and said: "Then what happened to the Snowfield Warcraft back then?! If grandpa hadn't brought the fire and poison arrows, would the elves be able to get back to the Elf King City?!"
The Elf Queen's face darkened. Staring directly at Minna. Minna took a step back. Bit your lip. He stepped forward again: "If you think my words are harsh, I'm sorry. But, I want to remind you. There are times when the elves cannot protect themselves. Back then, the snowfield monsters could invade the forest. How did you know. Don't What if the earth monsters can't do it? If the demon realm and the snowfield monsters unite, can your subjects really resist?"
The Elf Queen narrowed her eyes: "Ming Na. Don't think that your grandfather once brought us a suitable weapon. He became our savior! If it weren't for him, the snowfield monsters would not have invaded the royal city back then! He just made up for it. It was just a mistake. What's more, he made more mistakes than this!" Seeing Ming Na lowering her phone, she relaxed: . Only then did she slow down her tone: "As for the defense of our Elf Forest, you don't need to worry about it. The new defense magic has been researched. Tomorrow, the Iron Thorn Forest will cover the entire outer perimeter of the forest. No creature can break it. It invades the forest. Warcraft can’t do it. You humans... can’t do it either!”
Ming Na was so anxious that she almost cried. How to convince the Elf Queen? She was secretly angry. Grandpa did so many things for the elves back then. He was also seriously injured. Even if he made a mistake regarding Xiaola and Princess Funoa. The queen can't erase all his achievements!
Just when she was anxious. Alex suddenly said: "Your Majesty the Queen, you seem to think that as long as the Elf Forest is sealed off, foreign creatures will not be able to enter. Even if the mainland is completely transformed into a world of demonic creatures, your Elf clan can be safe and sound for a long time?"
The Elf Queen turned her gaze to his face: "What do you want to say?"
Alex smiled: "You are wrong to think so."
"oh?"
"Whether you admit it or not, the elves and humans live on the same land, or more accurately, in the same space!" Alex spread his hands widely, "Even between these two races, Separated by snowy mountains, the Grand Canyon, and the wilderness, we are actually breathing the same air! The cold wind from the northern snowfields can make it snow heavily in the winter in East; the warm moisture from the southern sea of Shaonan , can make half of the land of East never dry up. In the same way, any climate change on the continent will have an impact on this forest. This, whether you admit it or not, it is a fact!"
The Elf Queen frowned: "What on earth do you want to say?!" Minna was also confused by Alex's words.
Alex lowered his arms and raised his index finger: "There once was a great magician on the continent named Stevenson. He mentioned in his book that this continent we are on , is actually just a part of this world. On the other side of the sea, there are other similar continents, but we haven’t discovered them yet. In this world, we breathe the same air, and they are invisible and intangible. But they exist and move around. The cold wind in the northern snowfield will affect the winter in the south. In fact, the cold air there flows to the south, and the same is true for the moisture in the southern sea. According to this inference, when the land outside the forest When they are all occupied by the Demon Realm, will the air change? When the air there flows into the Elf Forest, will the Elf clan be affected?"
The Elf Queen sneered: "What a ridiculous statement. I have never heard of this theory! Our Elf Forest has a protective net that has been running for tens of thousands of years. It is impossible for the dirty air from outside to come in!"
Alex smiled slightly: "Are you really not allowed to come in? So why does it snow here in winter? We entered the forest from the snow mountain and saw with our own eyes that the ground here is covered with snow. This is basically from the northern snowfields. It’s caused by the cold air!”
"That's just the cold wind, not some dirty air!"
"Then you admit that there will be outside air coming in?!" Alex immediately caught the elf queen's words, "Whether it is dirty or not, the outside air has an impact on you. Right?" ! It’s just that the trees here are dense and there are protective nets, so the people living here feel different from the outside. I heard that when East and Noga fought, Noga’s magician was defeated. Previously, a large-scale undead magic was triggered, which spread to the entire grassland area, killing countless people, and the grassland has since turned into a misty wasteland. The grassland elves who originally lived there could not survive, so they moved into the Elf Forest and merged with the forest elves. . It can be seen how much harm that kind of negative energy has done to the elves! The Demon Realm. It is not just undead magic. Even the breath of the creatures there can cause plants to wither and animals to die! When those monsters pass through the misty wasteland, they come to you. At the edge of the forest, are you sure. That so-called iron thorn forest can block the filthy breath they exhale?"
"I..." The Elf Queen only said one word and was immediately interrupted by Alex: "Okay! Let's just assume that the elves' protective net is really that powerful and can keep out all evil! So, if the war between humans and demons continues, wars will be everywhere, all woods and grasslands will be burned to scorched earth, rivers and lakes will be polluted, humans will be retreating, and the originally fertile land will become desolate, while humans are resisting The magic emitted by the Warcraft caused a large number of magical elements of different properties to fill the air, triggering intense activities, thus affecting the entire atmosphere, causing drastic changes in the climate, perhaps hurricanes, heavy rains, or long-lasting droughts, plus temperature Rise or fall! No matter which way it is, the Elf Forest cannot stay out of it! When the outside world is dry for many years or is shrouded in storms, do you think the plants here can continue to grow healthily? Your elderly and children Will you not be affected by negative energy?"
The Elf Queen stared at Alex without saying a word.
Alex calmed down his excitement a little and added the final weight calmly: "Even if none of this happens, the monsters will attack. How long can your Iron Thorn Forest block them? How long can the Demon Realm spend? It took nearly ten years to lay out and deal with humans. Compared with just breaking a thorn forest, what does it mean? By then, they have occupied almost the entire continent. To deal with the elven forest, as long as you have patience, it will not take a year. Just spend ten years, or twenty years if it doesn’t work in ten years. Even if it takes a hundred years, you will eventually succeed. For you elves, a hundred years is nothing, but when the time comes, where can you go? escape?"
"Alex..." Mingna stared at her friend blankly, suddenly feeling that he was really amazing. How did he come up with these things? She seems to not understand a lot of things
Alex smiled at Minna, then turned to look at the Elf Queen: "I know that you look down on humans. Just now, I played some unsavory tricks to achieve my goal. You were angry, and I sincerely apologize to you. Apologize, you can punish us severely, but please don't make wrong decisions because of your anger." He shook the crystal bottle, "You have the entire fountain of life, and we only need this little bit. You can defeat the monsters. Do you really want to bet the future of the entire elves for this little spring water?"
The Elf Queen was silent, while Minna and Ludlow held their breath waiting for her decision. The expression on Alex's face did not change, but in fact, the left hand hidden behind the large robe was so nervous that it clenched into a fist.
After a long while, the Elf Queen suddenly smiled: "Interesting theory! Young magician, if you put all the energy you spend on these little strategies on academic research, you might become a master!"
Ming Na was stunned, not quite understanding what she meant, but a hint of joy flashed in Alex's eyes, and she stood respectfully with her hands lowered and said, "Thank you, you are a true king."
Is this a success? Ming Na was overjoyed.
The Elf Queen was noncommittal and stretched out her hand to Ludlow: "Go back with me! Although you have made a great contribution to discovering this spring, you should be punished for concealing its situation."
Ludlow's face turned pale, and Ming Na hurriedly said: "Her Majesty the Queen..." "Ming Na!" Ludlow stopped her, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Stop talking, I made a mistake."
"But..." Minna looked anxiously at the Elf Queen, then at Ludlow, and couldn't help but look at Alex, who told her to calm down with his eyes, then walked to the spring and stood in front of the Elf Queen. In front of him, he pulled up his sleeves, carefully filled a bottle full of spring water, put the bottle into the storage wristband, and stood up to salute the queen.
The Elf Queen snorted coldly, glanced at Ludlow, and walked out. Ludlow quickly followed. Minna asked Alex anxiously: "What should we do now?"
Alex grabbed her arm and walked outside, whispering: "It's okay, she is willing to let us take away the spring water, which means she admits that our approach is beneficial to the elves. Ludlow is her grandson. She won’t punish her too harshly.”
Minna felt relieved and climbed to the ground with his help, carefully following behind the Elf Queen.
When they walked to a bright place, they realized that it was already morning. The morning light shines through the branches and leaves and falls in the forest. A light mist permeates the surroundings. The dew on the treetops has turned into frost. From a distance, it looks like a tree of white flowers.
The Elf Queen raised her cane and shook it. Several groups of green light flew out from the head of the staff, penetrated directly into the canopy, and then passed through it and rose into the sky. After a while, seven or eight agile elves rode from the front. The silver wolf rushed over, saluted the queen, and followed the direction of her finger to the direction of the fountain of life.
Ming Na looked at their retreating figures and was a little curious about how the whereabouts of the three of them were discovered, so she cautiously asked the Elf Queen: "Excuse me...how did you discover that we were there?"
The Elf Queen looked at her with a half-smile, and then glanced at Alex: "I am the king of this forest. Using light magic here is like lighting a fire in the dark. The more conspicuous you are, the more conspicuous you will be." Conspicuous.”
Minna was stunned. Alex looked at the light ball in his hand and knew what the problem was. He couldn't help but sigh.
Reaching the edge of the forest, the Elf Queen quickly left with Ludlow, and Minna only had time to say goodbye.
As soon as Joe got the news, he ran out and scolded them: "You actually went so far away without telling us! What if you encounter danger?! This is the Elf Forest!"
Mingna hung up her neck and listened to his curse, while Alex's face was expressionless. Joe cursed for a long time, and when he saw them like this, he was discouraged and worried about Ludlow: "Poor little prince, what will he suffer this time?"
After Ming Na heard this, her heart, which had been relieved because of Alex's words, became suspended again.
