It took Joshua some time to figure out the structure of the Forgotten Land, which is more like a small town, a town used as a refuge.
On the second floor of the Forgotten Land, there is an observatory with an excellent view, but the observation equipment here has been damaged, and Qiao Xiu can only borrow Ciri's single-pass telescope to look at the scenery outside the city wall.
Joshua watched with the binoculars that Ino pushed the small wooden cart full of snacks to the edge of the Forgotten Land. With the announcement of the pop-up page, it really attracted two wild high elves.
"What did you make the holy tree do?"
Elder Sindonal and the man in black stood behind Joshua, while Ciri went to the periphery of the Forgotten Land with Ino to ensure Ino's safety.
High elves all have eagle eyes, or... high farsightedness
They don't need a telescope to see what's happening in the distance.
Elder Sindonar immediately recognized that it was Al and Branches who appeared at the edge of the forest.
The reason why they would go to the Forgotten Land, Elder Sindonar has no way of knowing for the time being, this elder has been able to gradually feel the mutation in himself, that is, hunger.
The man in black was not so sensitive to hunger when he left Arthur Crowe for a long time, but other high elves were different.
Hunger is a very foreign state to them.
"I just put your World Tree on energy-saving mode," Joshua said.
"Energy Saver Mode?"
Elder Sindonar was ready to accept the changes brought about by the guidance of the Holy Tree, but this change came too quickly.
"I communicated with your World Tree."
Joshua should be glad that the world tree of the high elves can talk, and the world tree of the frost elves can only meow, and this cat language needs to be translated by Tailin.
"Your World Tree is the source of power for Arthur Kroe to float in the sky, while maintaining the powerful magical shield around Arthur Kroe and...providing you with the energy you need to live."
It was difficult for Qiao Xiu to explain where a World Tree got such a large amount of energy, and the source of energy that made the World Tree grow, that is, the beliefs of living beings, made Qiao Xiu feel a little unbelievable.
Just relying on the power of belief can make such a huge city float in the sky
In the end, Joshua gave up thinking about what the power of faith was, but it was okay to stop some of Arthur Crowe's functions.
"In order to save energy for your World Tree, I temporarily stopped the energy supply to you, which means that you will have to take energy from food for a long time in the future." Joshua said.
"Eating the remains of living creatures?"
Elder Sindonal glanced at the man in black next to him. The mask on his face made it impossible for Elder Sindonal to see his expression, but in the distance Al was holding a piece of cake and devoured it. Look in the eyes.
"If this is the will of the Holy Tree." Elder Sindonar could only slowly accept these "abnormal feelings" on his body.
Joshua continued to focus on the two high elves, but at this moment, Ciri's voice sounded in Joshua's ear.
"The city management is really here!"
"I've told Ino to evacuate, Ciri, try not to come into contact with those high elves."
Qiao Xiu also saw a group of high elves coming from a distance through the single-pass telescope.
"Where's the little wooden cart?"
"Stay there."
Joshua observed the group of high elves, this race seemed to be a maternal society, at least the number of women in the patrol team was unexpectedly large.
"It's a shame to just stay there."
"Cake, Ciri, can you enjoy it in Nolan?"
"No... I mean, put some sleep-inducing potion on the cake or something."
"… "
During the time that Joshua was talking with Ciri, Ino had successfully escaped into the Forgotten Land with Al and Zhiye, and the inspection team of the high elves had also arrived at the periphery of the Forgotten Land.
"There should be one or two people taking the bait."
Before Qiao Xiu's words were finished, a wild high elf took the bait.
It's a pity that this high elf was Al who had bitten the "bait" before. She seemed to think that the "bait" was too delicious, so she turned back and prepared to bite again.
"Do you want to save her?" Ciri asked in a low voice.
"Look at the situation first."
…
It's that problem child again!
Aurelian, who was the leader of the patrol team, felt that someone had entered the Forgotten Land ten minutes ago.
She immediately took her inspection team to the outskirts of the Forgotten Land, and in the first instant she caught a familiar figure... Apprentice Priest Al.
"Al! Shouldn't you be in the Hall of Contemplation?!"
Aurelian was still a step too late. Another high elf who was with Al when she arrived at the outer perimeter, as well as a human-like figure had already run into the Forgotten Land, and only Al turned back halfway.
As if Al didn't hear her words, after finding the wooden box for packaging under the wooden cart, he hurriedly began to put the cakes on the wooden cart into the wooden box.
Although Al's character is usually a little naive, she is not stupid. If she has time to answer the inspector's question, Al might as well pack a few cakes and run away.
"Al, you have made a big mistake by forgetting the precepts of the Council of Elders and approaching the Forgotten Land without authorization. I will arrest you in the name of the Council!"
Aurelian's voice had already brought a bit of gnashing of teeth.
She didn't have a good relationship with this apprentice priest for a very simple reason... She lost to Al in the priest assessment, and the most hateful thing was that she lost on talent, not personal effort.
Aurelian saw that Al still did not respond to her intentions. The anger between being ignored and contemptuous made Aurelian take out a wooden arrow without an arrow tip and aimed it at Al.
A large number of silver-white inscriptions are engraved on the wooden arrow, and those who are hit by the wooden arrow will be bound in place for the first time.
Draw the bow, draw the string, aim.
Archery was the only ability Aurelian was confident she could defeat Al, and she aimed the arrow at the apprentice priest's abdomen.
But when the arrow was about to hit Al, Al turned around and blocked the arrow with a barrier formed by overflowing magic power in her left hand. When she released the magic barrier, she still had a piece of cream cake in her mouth.
After Al easily blocked the attack from Aurelian, she swallowed the cream cake in her mouth with ease, and then took the cake she packed and ran towards the forgotten land.
"Aurelian..."
Several fellow elf inspectors behind him watched Al who ran into the Forgotten Land, not knowing what to choose for a while.
"Wen Naen, you go and tell the elders about this."
Aurelian glanced at the wooden cart where Al had just stopped. The text written on the cart was human.
