The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 71: The Thousand-Year Conference (middle)
"So, have you been hiding in the enchantment for a thousand years, and have never been out of the outside world." After the initial shock, Jonah asked incredulously, because of what the elf said just now, The astrologer was obviously taken aback, and he could not reach out to catch Danny Stewart who fell from the ceiling, "Plop." The male Stewart fell firmly to the ground, opened his eyes and raised his head and muttered: "Well, I fell off the bed, I want to sleep with gold coins, don't call me before dinner time..."
The elf lazily said: "Hey, what good is going out? Even when there is blue sky and white clouds, the ground is not a piece of ice and snow that can freeze your toes, and you can’t see green plants wherever you go. The mainland has been destroyed, completely destroyed."
At this time, Elliott suddenly drew out his sword and gave an upright flat sword: "Mr. Fir, I'm sorry, we should review our attitude. You have witnessed the Second Ancient War and the Second Age. The elders of Liming should be respected to our utmost."
"Now, that's right." The elf stretched out a finger, and let the human on the other side look at the lines on his fingertips: "Look, this is the annual ring of the thorn elf, and each circle represents one Years, I am one thousand one hundred and ninety-four years old this year. Even among these old guys, I have the longest life expectancy. Besides, I’m not a husband. I’m a lady, Ms. Malu Ringor Fir. The thorn elves race are all female, and only when the highest council allows them to reproduce their offspring, can they choose a guy who converts to a male gender."
The knight and Jonah looked at each other, "Well, Miss Fir, I'm sorry..." Jonah hesitated, "I know I shouldn't ask, but the corpses outside..."
The thorn elf replied indifferently: "Hey, it's dead. The duo who went out to get the food died first. Later, two people were sent to meet and died. The last three guys just got off the stairs. They were killed when they went out, and the group of humans found the barrier, but as long as I didn’t open the entrance, they couldn’t get in any way they could. After tossing for a long time, they left and the seven dead guys were frozen. The ice cubes, they should be buried in trees according to the logic, but no tree can be found in this ghost place. It doesn’t look ugly anyway, so let them stand in the house and it won’t melt away..."
"Yes, but it’s your companion who died. The thorn elves are so small, don’t you feel sad." The boy unconsciously raised his volume, and he looked around the enchantment orb. Under a light source that resembles the sun, several crooked little trees grew scattered, and a few elves gathered around each tree. Roughly speaking, there are about forty thorn elves here, and all the elves look nothing. Not motivated, just look away from the uninvited guest and look away, with an indifferent expression,
Malu Firshan sneered: "Sad, why do you want to be sad, the dead Badger Ringel Ginkgo is already 1,182 years old, even if he possesses the entire forest of plant magic elements She will definitely not survive the one thousand or two hundred years mark, but letting death come a few years ahead of schedule. Compared to grunting with hunger while holding an empty food can, it is not a bad thing to die directly." She lay down. Spread his hands on the floor: "Look, everyone here is a monster that should have died a thousand years ago. The emerald tree does not exist, the Supreme Council does not exist, and the thorn elves have not added a population for a thousand years. In this place where even the liquid in the blood vessels can freeze, we can’t find the plants we depend on for survival. The entire Lingolpante village tried their best to cultivate these small saplings, and only two hundred and four were grown in hundreds of years. Fourteen leaves, ah, two hundred and forty-three... If it weren’t for the essence of plant magic elements in food, we would have become dry mummies, even idiots like you could imagine this. What kind of life have we been living in the millennium?"
Jona said: "You can leave. As long as you cross the magma river and walk to the edge of the monsoon island, you can reach the eastern continent and find dense vegetation."
"Now, so you don't understand anything." The elf said weakly, "We can't get out of here."
"Because of the weather, food, or enchantment." The Rose Knight said immediately, "If it is food, maybe we can think of a way." Take out the cloth bag containing the food, untie the rope and take out a thick glass bottle. The bottle is filled with amber substance. Due to the cold weather, the bottle wall is covered with white crystals.
"Hey." Firshan immediately widened his eyes: "Tell me a price."
The knight smiled and said: "It is also very precious to us, but if we can help the thorn elves, we would be willing to give it to Ringo Pant. This ingredient is called... …"
The elf curled his lips and said: "Come on, don’t blow it, honey, it’s not worth a penny in the hands of humans. Back then, Ringo Pant was a trade ferry. Don’t we know this common sense? Because honey is the only food that can be preserved forever, even if it is a thousand years old, plus it is made from nectar and contains rich plant elements, so it has become the food we depend on for survival. Well, as long as we can get it, whatever you want, it’s useless to keep it anyway. Enchanting weapons or symbiosis contracts, not to mention gold, mithril, gems, and gold coins. There are hidden ruins below. Many, as long as you can dig out from the ice, you can take as much as you can."
Hearing this, Danny Stewart sat up abruptly and his eyes glistened. The rose knight was seen by the elf and blushed rare, but he nodded politely and said: "We know this can't fool the elder elf. , Thank you for your generosity, what we want is..."
Jona pulled the knight’s hem at this moment, signaled that he had something to say, Elliott smiled, and then said aloud: “What we want is the truth. The Pitchfork Team doesn’t need wealth. We Several of his partners are seekers of truth, whether it is the astrologer or the daredevil swordsman just now." He bent over and handed the whole bottle of honey over: "For another answer, about enchantment and other things. Answers to all questions."
"Na..." The elf looked a little surprised, trying to reach out to take the bottle, and then hesitatingly looked back, "It seems that the council has decided." She waved her hand suddenly, stood up and said something to the other elves , The atmosphere in the enchantment began to change, all the elves gathered here, Malu Fir said to the humans: "Major events must be decided by parliamentary voting. This is Ringolpante's rule. Wait. ,,, you can’t get out anyway without opening the barrier."
The thorn elves gathered in a pile, the buzzing elves sounded, Jonah threw a grateful smile at the knight, Hanna wiped the sweat from her forehead, lowered her muzzle and said: "Oh my God, Ringor in its heyday How strong Pant should be, I think every elf has the breath of a real strong."
The knight shook his head and said: "What should I say, their lives have indeed reached the end, even though the magic wave is still very strong, but the will to survive has disappeared, like a burnt torch..."
While the elves were in a meeting, the pitchfork team could finally sit down and take a rest. The enchantment was warm as spring. Everyone took off their warm coats, and Jonah laid the grasshopper flat on the ground and wrapped them in a thick coat. She covered the ice in the water bag, fed her medicine and water, and put a towel wet with ice water on her forehead. These caregiving jobs should have been done by women, but everyone seemed to think about it. Nubuat Hanna is more suitable for this role,
Xibi's face flushed, and she was talking in a dream, "She will be fine, she will be fine." The boy raised his head and asked,
"Miss Xibi is stronger than all of us." The knight replied,
Danny woke up. He didn't know what he had just been knocked out and dragged away. He yelled that the gold coins hidden in his body were much shorter, "...Wait, what is this place." He waited for a look. Focusing, this guy was really taken aback, "Hey, those guys look so weird, I lean, there are trees on the ceiling."
At this moment, there was enthusiastic applause. The parliamentary vote was over. Malu Firshan walked over with a relaxed expression, picked up the honey jar and said, "Now, okay, the deal is done. I will tell you everything now. Listen,...Where should I start?" She sat on the ground, opened the jar, sniffing the honey greedily, "Let’s start from the beginning. It was at the end of the Second Ancient War. At that time, we Won the war, as the victorious party ruled the beautiful northern continent, the sacred magical creatures made land and rule on this continent. We elemental spirits lived here on their own, and naturally did not leave the emerald tree near. Later, that Helped the bad guys to activate the forbidden curse, killing tens of millions of lives at once, and the entire Northern Continent was finished in a few seconds. At that time, everyone felt that there was no hope, and that kind of despair was really unforgettable for a lifetime. It’s a terrible feeling...Looking at the magical power overwhelming the sky, we threw away the bows and arrows in our hands and stood in the treetops, unable to fight or escape. We even forgot to breathe. At this time someone came. A human in blue clothes and a hood walked in front of me and asked me, "Would you like to make a deal?",, ah, I remembered, he was dressed like this little idiot with a staff It."
"...Who is this person." Jona was stunned,
"The white light behind was dazzling, I couldn't see his face at all, and he was about to die in a second. Who could care about it, "Yes, save us, whatever you want ,'I yelled at the time."
"'Then plant this seed,' said the man, then raised the staff to create this enchantment,'my name is Segles the Betrayer,'"
