"Two wild elves again."
Ciri was hiding in a room on the second floor of the indoor garden, where he could see clearly the situation in the indoor garden through the window.
"The dark elves have confirmed that they are indeed high elves." Joshua leaned against the window and looked at the two elves who were talking to Taelin.
After seeing Tai Lin, the anxiety in their eyes was quickly swept away. It seems that for any elves, the World Tree is something that can make them feel at ease.
"Are those two also going to be the servers of the magic net?" Ciri asked Joshua in a low voice.
"The elves themselves can't be the server of the magic net, only the world tree of their family is possible."
Joshua patiently listened to the conversation between the two high elves and Taelin.
The term "Arthur Crowe" was mentioned in their conversation.
That is to say, the legend mentioned by the dark elves, Arthur Crowe, the hometown of the high elves, really exists.
A city floating above the sky? It's not clear what level of magic is needed to build Joshua.
But one thing is certain, that is, with Nolan's current airship technology, it is absolutely impossible to reach the city above the sky. If you want to enter it, Qiao Xiu must start with these two high elves.
"You want to start 'purchasing' the reputation of these high elves like you did last time with the Black Wood Elves?" Ciri used a very apt metaphor to say what Joshua was going to do.
"Forget it, but compared to the black wood elves who actively seek help, it is still somewhat difficult for the high elves to gain the reputation of worship."
Joshua noticed the high elf named Zhiye below, and looked at the room where Joshua was standing.
She felt the presence of Joshua and Ciri, but it was only a feeling.
In front of the window where Joshua was standing, Ciri used an illusion to create leaves and vines to block it. From outsiders, it seemed that this place was just a wall surrounded by trees.
"Anyway, let's eliminate their hostility first, and let these two girls see the world."
Joshua turned around and walked out of this hidden room. Outside the room, the servants of the entire Farosi Mansion had been waiting for a long time.
"Mr. Joshua."
The head of the housekeeper was the middle-aged housekeeper that Joshua met when he first came to the Farosi Mansion.
Mrs. Caesar gave Joshua the right to use the mansion. For them, Joshua could be regarded as the owner of the mansion.
"Everyone." Qiao Xiu glanced at the more than 20 attendants and maids present and said, "Today the mansion welcomed two special guests, two elves from foreign countries, who have a complete understanding of the human world. Knowing nothing, and treating humans like a rabbit, I hope you will approach them with caution."
Qiao Xiu planned to stay at the Farosi Mansion this evening to observe the movements of the two high elves. After finally finding a clue to the new World Tree, Qiao Xiu would not let it go so easily.
"We will pay attention, Mr. Qiao Xiu." The middle-aged butler seemed to have something to say after agreeing to Qiao Xiu's request.
"Tomorrow will be a memorable day. You've worked hard tonight. Tomorrow, I'll replace Mrs. Nishizawa and let you all take a small holiday, a special holiday."
What Joshua was referring to was, of course, Tailin's concert. There were many attendants in the Farosi Mansion who looked like Tailin's fans.
Recently, Tai Lin was rehearsing in the mansion, and some maids pushed the dining cart to eavesdrop outside.
After Joshua announced the news, he vaguely heard small cheers.
"Will they like it here?" Ciri looked at the backs of the servants of the Farosi Mansion as they left, and then asked Joshua in a low voice.
"The three views of elves are no different from human beings, and they are not inhuman races that cannot communicate. As long as they communicate with each other, there must be one or two common hobbies."
Joshua looked back at the indoor garden behind him.
"The rest depends on what they like."
…
Late at night.
The warm water released from the azure inscription washed the dust off the branches and leaves.
This is a magical machine that humans use to clean their bodies.
In Zhiye's hometown, there is also such a magic machine, and it is more convenient, so she is familiar with it.
The long blond hair soaked in warm water fell on the cheeks of branches and leaves.
She's still reminiscing about the conversation with Taelin...
Like this city full of humans
Zhiye still can't understand the reason why Tailin likes this city.
Not only Tailin, but the holy tree of the frost elves even has a good impression of humans.
This is the most incomprehensible thing for the branches and leaves. Each sacred tree has its own consciousness and is a separate individual. They can even be said to be the wise mentors of the elves.
The sacred tree of their family has an obvious attitude towards humans, that is, to stay away from them as much as possible, which also leads to the characteristics that the high elves do not like to see humans very much.
But the world tree of the Frost Elves was destroyed once by humans, and they finally got the chance to be reborn, but they still chose to believe in humans
do not understand.
After coming to this city, there were too many things she couldn't understand.
Branch and leaves reached out and shut off the supply of magic power, and the water flow slowly stopped.
"Now is not the time to take a shower." Zhiye muttered to himself.
What she needs to do now is to rescue Elder Sindonar.
Although Tailin had already promised her, she would definitely bring the elder here unharmed.
But branches and leaves are still not very worried.
In the room of Falosi's mansion, Zhiye successfully found the entire map of Nolan, and learned the location of Nolan's law enforcement team based on the information provided by Taelin.
Maybe she should take advantage of the night to investigate
After this idea was ignited in Zhiye's heart, it never went out again, but when she opened the door of the bathroom compartment and looked at her room, she found a more serious problem.
Al is gone! !
Zhi Ye immediately put on the clothes on the bed, pushed open the door of the room, and came to the corridor of Farosi's mansion.
Although the holy tree and ice dragon of the frost elves stayed in this manor, they gave branches and leaves an absolute sense of security.
But Zhiye understands that there are also many human servants in this city!
Did Al run out on his own, or... was he taken
Zhiye didn't know, a huge sense of unease filled her heart again.
She closed her eyes immediately, capturing the familiar magical breath in the air.
Soon she found Al's remaining magic power.
Zhiye immediately followed her familiar atmosphere and walked towards the Farosi mansion. Although she was a guest of the mansion, she deliberately avoided the maid in the corridor along the way.
In less than three minutes, Zhiye came to the door of a huge room.
Al is in there.
The branches and leaves carefully pushed open the door of the room, and the room was dark.
This is… not a good sign.
Zhiye pulled out a dagger and was ready to face the battle at any time. She dodged and sneaked into the dark space.
Without the illumination of the original spar light, and the branches and leaves without the night vision ability of a dark elf, she could only barely discern in the darkness what was emitting light in front of her, a very dark light.
She carefully clenched the dagger and stepped down the steps, but before she took a few steps, the roar of the monster resounded in her ears.
Zhiye instantly raised her dagger and aimed it at the source of the roar. When she raised her head, a humanoid monster with a mane suddenly appeared in front of her.
Was it raised in this mansion? No... not right.
Zhiye was stunned for a moment, and she watched the "monster" fighting a pack of wolves in the snow.
It is obviously impossible to have snow inside the mansion. What is presented in front of Zhiye is a "recorded image", and a huge image is projected on one wall of this room!
"branches and leaves!"
The voice from Al interrupted Zhiye's thoughts.
When the image in front of him became brighter, the branches and leaves finally saw the surrounding environment clearly.
There were rows of seats all around, but there was no one on the seats, only Al occupied the most central row of seats.
Branch and leaves walked towards Al, who was sitting in the center.
Not only was she okay, she was holding a bucket of strange snacks in her hand, and she seemed very happy to eat!
"It seems to be called popcorn, and from those human girls, it seems to be made of something called sweet jade," Al said.
"what are you doing here?"
Branch and leaves walked to Al in silence and asked.
"I can heal the protector's magic, so I wanted to see the protector's condition, but I got lost." Al said, "Then... ran into this room."
Getting lost... The interior of this mansion is really complicated.
"I'll take you to find a shelter." Zhiye didn't intend to stay in this dim room, and what was more deadly was that this room was too empty.
Staying here is a perfect location to be attacked by others.
"But Belle will wake up soon." Al said hesitantly.
"Belle?"
Without waiting for Al to answer Zhiye's question, voices from all directions called out the name "Belle".
Zhiye immediately turned his gaze to the wall in front of him, and the picture projected on the wall had somehow turned into a luxurious bedroom.
The light throughout the picture looks soft and serene.
The girl who was surrounded by wolves just now woke up lying in the bedroom.
The one who called out the name Belle was a moving wardrobe in the picture.
That wardrobe not only has its own eyes but also a mouth, which looks very weird in the branches and leaves, even in the recorded video.
"Those are the servants of the demon prince. They were originally human but were cursed." Al whispered to Zhi Ye at this moment.
Demon prince? Servant
Zhiye stared at the images recorded on the wall in front of her, Zhiye always had an illusion that these images were not what happened in reality...
As if what happened in the image was deliberately arranged by someone.
"Al, aren't you going to treat the asylum seeker?"
The branches and leaves took their eyes away from the gorgeous video screen.
"Well, Belle is coming soon, alright... alright." Al was still able to distinguish the priorities of the matter, she stood up from her seat with some reluctance, and was ready to leave the room under the leadership of Zhi Ye.
"Don't you hate watching recorded images?" Zhiye asked suddenly.
Much of the magic of the high elves comes from video records left behind by ancestors, and every high elf priest must watch the video records in order to learn those magics.
As one of Al's candidates for priesthood, watching these images is of course her daily homework.
"This image is different from what Grandma Enya showed me!" Al said.
"It's different there? Isn't it all about recording what people in the past did?"
Without waiting for Al to answer Zhiye's question, in the rear video, Belle walked around the bedroom in a gorgeous dress.
At this moment, even Zhi Ye himself subconsciously slowed down.
"Belle is about to meet the Demon Prince, um..." Al let out a sad whimper, which made Branch and Leaf feel like a bad guy who forced Al to do something.
But when Al and Zhiye were about to arrive at the door, the picture suddenly stopped.
"Can this be suspended too?"
At this moment, Al grabbed Zhi Ye's hand with joy.
What makes Zhiye desperate is that her physical fitness among the high elves is not very good, and Al's strength is far greater than her.
Without waiting for Zhiye to shout to stop Al, Al pulled Zhiye all the way around the complicated corridors of the Falosi Mansion, and ran all the way to the entrance of the Falosi Garden.
Are you really lost
Zhiye breathed a little, and looked at Al next to her, she was still full of energy.
The ice dragon is still sleeping in the indoor garden, but the frost elf Tailin has disappeared.
The incarnation of the holy tree Enlusi has been guarding the ice dragon.
"The great holy tree, can I heal this patron."
Al trotted all the way to the side of the white cat. With the permission of the white cat, Al began to sing the magic used by the high elf priests.
The singing speed was so fast that the branches and leaves onlookers were amazed. If Al was allowed to participate in the assessment of the elf priest now, she would definitely be recognized by all the elf elders.
The silver-white inscription poured into the ice dragon's body, and the gray mist seeped out of the ice dragon's body, and disappeared after corroding the surrounding grass into gray.
An expression of pain appeared on the ice dragon's face, and fine sweat overflowed from Al's forehead.
In the end, the inscription surrounding Al's body shattered into debris, and Al was also a little out of strength and was about to fall on the grass, while the vines rising from the ground supported the high elf's body.
"I can only purify to this extent today." Al said regretfully, "There are still a lot of 'legacy' in the body of the patron. It will take a long time to completely clear it."
The white cat waved with its small paw, and although it didn't speak, the branches and leaves could still understand the meaning of the holy tree, "Go and rest, the movie is about to start."
Is that thing called a movie
Branches and leaves looked at Al, who was lying among the vines. The girl obviously understood the meaning of the white cat. After hearing the key words of the movie, she stood up again energetically.
"I'll take you there." Zhiye hid her hand behind her and didn't give her a second chance.
