Nanna has been very idle recently, which makes her very uncomfortable.
She's used to worrying about organizational minutiae and calling the shots. And once she is allowed to relax, she will be full of discomfort. More importantly, the tribe's perception of her is very subtle now. Although most people still admit that she is extremely capable, when they meet her, especially male elves, their eyes are very subtle.
Nanna already knew that the culprit who caused all this was Beta, a small nobleman from Hollevin.
Morton cared about his disciples, so he naturally shared the information he collected with Nanna.
After knowing who made her suffer so badly, Nanna stayed by Alice's side all the time. In her mind, that bastard named Beta would come back one day to find a way to save Alice. As long as she stayed by the latter's side, one day she could fight that bastard again.
Although Nanna is still somewhat hostile to Alice, or dissatisfied. But after getting along for a while, the two also became friends. After all, both of them are not bad in nature, but their positions are slightly different.
Like everyone else, Nanna didn't have much respect for the little queen, but more kindness and love.
Besides, as the older sister, Nanna also felt that she had the obligation to educate the little queen.
"You are the queen, and you will be the face of our entire elves in the future. How can you do it if you don't learn magic well?"
Nanna walked up to the little queen, helped her arrange her clothes, and then nodded to Alice.
Alice naturally returned a smile.
The life of the elves is very leisurely, there is no shortage of food, no shortage of clothing, every day is to eat breakfast tea, drink afternoon tea, read books at night, or attend banquets with friends, one day passes, and They don't feel that they are too big, but they live happily every day.
Because of this kind of life, the elves have a slow temperament. It's not that this kind of temperament is bad, but if they live in a turbulent world, then this kind of personality is completely a sin.
Both Morton and Ans have seen through this point. Both of them have the idea of changing the elves, but their ideas are different, which has caused the confrontation between the two sides.
The three elf girls chatted and ate fruits and pastries. It was almost noon. When they were about to leave, Nanna suddenly asked, "Alice, do you still believe that they will come to rescue you?"
"Yes." Alice replied without hesitation.
"But it's been almost half a year now, and they still haven't seen anyone. Maybe they've been scared out of their wits by the mother tree." Nanna guessed viciously: "Maybe even if they weren't scared out of their wits, mother said they should at least be in the house." The different world space struggled for several years to come back."
"It doesn't matter, wait for half a year, wait for ten years, wait for a hundred years." Alice smiled indifferently: "I am a half-elf, and my life span is not much worse than yours. I can afford to wait."
"It's you instead."
Alice smiled a little cunningly: "I'm getting more and more impatient, do you really want to see Beta so much?"
"I can't wait to kill him now." Nanna said angrily, and left in anger.
The little queen watched Nanna leave, she was eating something, her cheeks were bulging, and she looked at Alice with some puzzlement: "Why do you always like to get angry with sister Nanna?"
Alice rolled up a strand of hair and put it on the corner of her mouth, flicking it lightly, smiling brightly like the sun: "Maybe because I have half human blood, so I am more evil-hearted."
The longer she stays in the elves, the more Alice can discover the difference between herself and pure elves.
She also knew that she didn't belong here, she belonged to the human world, and she felt that she was a human first and a half-elf second.
The primary and secondary are different, and the concepts are naturally different.
Naturally different from Alice's ease, Beta was very busy. One day late at night, he had to draw a magic circle near the palace. Not only did he have to hide his figure, but he also had to pay attention to hiding the magic circle so that other elves would not find it. If you have time, you have to investigate the patrol route, number of people, shift changes, and general strength of the palace guards.
These investigations are essential if one person is to rescue Alice.
One person against one city sounds exaggerated, but in essence Beta is still very confident.
As long as the preliminary preparations are made, as long as Alice is taken out of the range of the world tree's mental suppression, Alice is put into the space of the mansion, and then the teleportation is used to leave, the matter is over.
But there is a big problem. Beta doesn't know what countermeasures the opponent has.
So after spending eight days setting up the magic circle, Beta waited for another five days and went to investigate the situation in the middle of the night, but found nothing.
And Ans didn't hear any news.
Beta decided not to wait any longer. In the middle of the night, he sneaked into the palace, avoided the patrolling guards, and found Alice's tree house in the back garden.
The unicorn was lying down under the tree. When it heard the sound, it stood up vigilantly. After finding out that it was Beta, it fell down again, looking at him quietly with a pair of green eyes.
Beta walked up to the door of the tree house and knocked lightly a few times.
"Who?" came a low voice from inside.
"Beta."
After a short silence, the door opened quickly. Alice, who was dressed in black all over, opened the door and smiled when she saw Beta, then she looked past Beta, looked around, and asked, "Where is he?"
"I have something very important, I can't come." Beta replied in a low voice.
There was some disappointment in Alice's eyes, but she quickly cheered up and said, "Leave now?"
"Walk."
The two got out of the tree house, Alice rode on the unicorn, and Beta threw a 'secondary invisibility scroll' that had been prepared on them.
Seeing that one person and one 'horse' became transparent, Beta took them out and left.
Beta had already calculated that the guards would not patrol this area at this time, and if nothing unexpected happened, they could leave the royal city directly.
But just as they left the back garden and were about to walk onto the hidden path, the situation changed suddenly.
A ray of purple light shot down from above the back garden, directly enveloping the two of them.
Then the sky lit up with purple light leaves, continuously, covering the entire sky, and the entire royal city turned purple, from dark to bright, just a few seconds.
Seeing such a spectacle, Beta's first reaction was:
World Tree woke up again
Is it such a trap
Is this necessary? To deal with me, an ordinary human being, to temporarily wake up the world tree, I am really willing to do so!
Because World Tree is too powerful, every time she wakes up her mental body, it will put a lot of load on her body, so she usually only wakes up once every long period of time, ten years, or decades.
And two consecutive awakenings will definitely cause certain damage to the World Tree itself.
