The entrance to the Mother Tree of Life is indeed not far away, but the location of this entrance is relatively hidden and is generally not easy to notice.

This entrance is actually located on the trunk of a very ordinary tree, and the width of the entrance is only enough for two people to run in parallel. Of course, for the trunk, being able to make such a large hole on it does not affect the growth of the plant, is already considered very large.

According to the female elf who led the way, this entrance is not the main passage. The real main passage is located in another place, which is a huge passage that can run two locomotives side by side, which is much spacious than here.

Although it is an auxiliary passage, it is a passage connecting the mother tree of life, so there are still guards here. As soon as we approached the big tree, two elves reached out to block our way.

"This is the bottom passage to the mother tree of life. Foreigners are not allowed to enter and exit at will. Are you doing anything?"

The male elves of the two elves in charge of leading the way quickly walked up and explained: "We are elves from the western tribe. We come to see the clan leader here at the order of our clan leader. We hope to get her help. This is the token of our clan leader." The male elves said and handed out a leaf.

An elf in the guard took the leaf and didn't even look at it. He just touched it and nodded and said, "It's the leaves of our mother tree of life here, you can go there."

After expressing our gratitude to the two guards, we entered the tree hole. The inside of the tree hole is a spiral downward staircase, not deep, only two stories high. After going down, there is a long passage with a slope. This passage is not a passage for human buildings, but a passage composed of hollows formed by the roots of the mother tree of life. Because the passage is not rectangular, the internal space is closer to a circle, but the direction under the foot is slightly flatter.

Because the roots of the tree are hollow, the four walls of the passage are all wood, but they are not as full of wrinkles as the outer skin of the tree trunk, but rather smooth. After all, this is the pipe inside the roots, not the bark.

We moved forward quickly in the passage and met a team of elves from the opposite side halfway. Because we had two elves leading the way, the other party did not have any questions. He just nodded to us and hurriedly passed, as if there was something urgent.

After passing by this team of elves, we quickly left this relatively small passage and entered a very wide passage. According to the explanation of the elves, the roots under the mother tree of life do not all lead directly to the central main island, but first gathered into some relatively thick trunks on the periphery, and then connected to the main island. We have almost entered one of the trunks, and the flow of people coming and going here is obviously much larger. When we came out, we happened to see a team of fully armed elves running through the front passage. There were hundreds of elves within the line of sight. There were no idea how many there were in front and behind. The entire passage was filled with their neat footsteps.

"What's going on?" Looking at the army running over, Kris Dena couldn't help but ask the male elf leading the way next to her.

The elf shook his head in confusion and said, "I don't know, it seems that there are any military operations. We should go over and see the patriarch as soon as possible. Once the battle occurs, the patriarch will definitely be busy. Then we may not meet us."

"That's right, let's go there quickly." I said and urged everyone to run quickly.

Although there are many elves in the main duct here, they only occupy the central part of the passage and do not fill the entire passage, so people can start to leave on both sides. The only trouble is that it may be a bit troublesome to reach the opposite fork, but we are just going to the main island, so we don’t have to cross the army that is marching.

In fact, when we entered the main pipeline, we were not far from the Central Island. We ran forward and arrived at the exit. Originally, someone should have checked the exit, but because there are a large number of elves running out now, the scene is a little chaotic. In order to prevent congestion, the guards no longer checked, but just watched the pedestrians pay a little attention to whether there were any abnormal behaviors.

After we came out of the underground passage, the guard just looked at us for a few more times and said nothing, but the female elf who led us took the initiative to run over and ask about the location of the patriarch. The guard said helplessly that they didn't know where the patriarch was now, so they could only be sure that they had not left the mother tree of life.

Without a definite goal, we had to go to the external reception area of ​​the Elf Clan, which is specially used to receive some visitors. Of course, this visit refers to visiting the Elf Clan leader. If you just enter the Elf City, you don’t need to come here.

The two elves who led us must have been here before, so the route was very familiar. I immediately found a mushroom house located at the root of the mother tree of Life. Although this mushroom house was built in a huge mushroom, this mushroom is not the same as the mushrooms we usually eat. The color of this mushroom is not only colorful, but also very huge. From the bottom, you can find that the top of the mushroom is at least fifteen or sixteen meters high, which means that the mushroom is at least four floors high. Even if the top of it is living tissue that cannot be entered, the space below can be separated into three-story buildings.

Although the space is large, the elves obviously do not lack rooms, so the inside of the mushroom is only divided into two upper and lower floors, but the floor height is very high, and the first floor is about four meters, which feels similar to the height of the roof inside the shopping mall.

There are no guards outside the reception room. After entering the interior, there is a not-so-large room. On the left side of the room, there is a counter similar to the hotel front desk. Behind it is a beautiful elf who looks only in his early twenties. Of course, the appearance of the elf is usually very unreliable. There are many elf aunts who are six or seven hundred years old, who look like an unmarried girl, so in the elves, they must not judge age by human appearance characteristics.

As soon as the two elves who led us came in, they walked to the front desk and handed over the leaf that the guards had touched, and then said, "Hello, we want to ask to see the patriarch."

The elf in charge of receiving took the leaves and touched them, then handed them back and said at the same time: "You should have seen it when you came here. Something happened here now, so the patriarch may not have time to see you. If you have any requests or something, you can tell me directly, and I can see if you can find someone who handles these things. Of course, if you must meet the patriarch, it's okay, but the time will not be confirmed."

The two elves who led us looked back at me for advice. After all, we were doing things, and they were just here to help. I thought about it for a while and then pulled Polesephone to walk to the counter together. I signaled Polesephone to release a little bit of life aura below. After the reception elves there noticed, they began to say: "We want to build an elf city, so we want to find a seed of the mother tree of life. I wonder if I don't directly meet the patriarch, can I find other elves to handle this kind of thing?"

The other party was staring at Polesephone while I was talking. It was not until I finished speaking that I ran over and said to me: "The matters about the mother tree of life must be ordered by the patriarch to execute, so this matter may not be able to bypass the patriarch. In this state, the patriarch was unlikely to meet outsiders, but the life aura around you is so strong, I think the patriarch might meet you. You can wait here first, and I will send it to see if the patriarch is free."

"Okay, please trouble you."

Although she was informing us, the elf who received us did not leave the reception desk. She first called out two elves from it to call us to wait in the room inside, and then she turned around and entered a room behind the reception desk. It was estimated that there were probably magic communication facilities inside.

We followed the two elves who were in charge of greeting us, but before we could enter the reception room, we heard a thud outside, and the reception door was suddenly pushed open from outside. The receptionist elves who had just entered the small room also opened the door and took a look, and then she ran out directly.

The person who pushed the door was a female elf with a long light golden hair that reached her waist, at least 1.75 meters tall, and a slender and well-proportioned body. She was wearing a silver-white all-metal armor, and a gorgeous long sword hung on each side of her hips. This shaped arrow is the standard elves' two-handed swordsman shape, which is similar to the propaganda poster in the system template. However, the elf in front of her was about thirty years old according to the human appearance, which means she was considered mature. However, in terms of the lifespan of the elf, she should actually be an elf over 700 years old when she grew up like this.

"Celia, Celia. Hurry up, follow me. Sasville hasn't come back to the Sicily mine yet. No one is leading his Moore army. You can supervise it temporarily."

"But I am a mage! If you asked me to lead the Swordsman Order, I don't know how to command it!"

"Even if you are not good at it, you always know a little bit, it's better than no one is instructing me? OK, don't delay, follow me quickly."

The elf who was receiving us was grabbed by the elf who rushed in and was about to hold her wrist out. The elf who received us quickly grabbed the other party and said, "Wait a minute. There are a few guests here who are looking for you."

"It's time? I don't have time to meet outsiders. Let them wait first." The swordsman who had just rushed in immediately grabbed the reception elf and was about to drag it out.

We had noticed this when the swordsman elves came in. Now after listening to their conversation, how could we understand that this is the patriarch. I quickly took the others to run over and completely unfolded my magic field. The elf elves on the opposite side were pulling the reception elves to go out, and suddenly I felt a powerful and bloody magic wave coming towards me, but then she felt a more pure breath of life. These two auras made her stunned for a moment.

I had already arrived in front of them during this moment of dazed moment, and then took the initiative to say, "Hello, after hearing your conversation just now, you should be the elves of this elves city, right? We are a group of outsiders, and the purpose of coming here is to ask a seed of the mother tree of life to build a new elves city. We know that the production of seeds of the mother tree of life is a great burden for the mother tree, and it seems that you are in trouble here. To be honest, we are still good at fighting, so if you don't object, can we participate in your actions to compensate for part of the reward?"

The other party was stunned for a moment, so I had finished speaking. When she realized it, she understood what I meant. After thinking for two seconds, the patriarch immediately made a decision. "Although I don't know what your combat power is, I can feel that your strength is very strong. Since you can get here, someone should introduce it. As long as you pay the price, you can give you a seed. I think your proposal is good, but the specific amount of compensation your actions can compensate will have to wait until the end of this matter. I will make an assessment based on the role you play in the action. No matter what my evaluation is, you cannot raise objections. Of course, I will not deliberately erase your credit. As an elf, I think my reputation should still be trusted."

I nodded and said, "Lie elves are as rare as humans who do not lie, so I believe in your credibility. Then, please assign us tasks."

"Okay, you guys come with me first, let's go as we go."

Because we solved our problem, the person in charge of the reception did not delay any longer, but walked out with the patriarch. When we got outside, we found that there were more than a dozen fully armed elves swordsmen standing outside, and each of these swordsmen had a long battle staff stuck diagonally behind each, indicating that these elves were all senior personnel of the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts.

After leaving the reception, we walked towards the main duct that left the island and asked, "Can you introduce your abilities and specialties first? I'll get a brief look at it to arrange tasks for you."

Because we are now equivalent to starting a mission, and the two elves who led us the way did not follow us. Let us meet the patriarch and their mission, so now the three of us are following the elf patriarch. I first signaled Kris Dina, and then said: "This is Kris Dina, an elemental mage, and a specialist in shaping energy. She is asked by others to move the turret in our place, and she is particularly good at large-scale magic suppression and magic guidance at the forbidden spell level. She is considered a mage who focuses on attack power."

After hearing this, the elf patriarch turned to Kris Dena and asked, "Can I let me sense your magic strength?"

Kris Dena nodded and stretched out a hand, and then without seeing her doing anything, she suddenly saw a white light ball lit up on her palm. When the light ball appeared, it was only as big as a glass brigade, but after it appeared, the light ball immediately began to rotate at a high speed. As it rotated, its volume also increased at an extreme speed. In just over two seconds, it expanded from a glass brigade to a basketball. After the bright white light ball appeared, ten light balls of blue, red, light blue, dark blue, green, brown, purple, gold, black, and white suddenly appeared around it. Moreover, these light balls all formed a circle around the large light ball in the center, and then began to look messy, but in fact it was very regular circumcision. From the outside, it looked like a magnification model of an atom. The large light ball in the center was a proton, and the ones rotating at high speed outside were electrons.

People who don’t know how to see this thing at most think it’s pretty, but people who know how to see it can see the terribleness of this thing.

The light ball in the center is a simple collection of elements without attributes. The speed of its production is that Klis Dena is showing the speed of her magic gathering. Although the light ball looks only the size of a basketball, its internal energy is highly compressed, and the power fluctuations it emits are simply thrilling. As for the small light balls outside the big light ball, this is Klis Dena showing her magic control ability that is against the sky. She can not only control multiple elements, but also allow them to appear at the same time. This is to say that the most troublesome elemental interference of the mages

The phenomenon is meaningless to her. In addition, those small light balls rotate at high speed around the large light ball in the center without interfering with each other, which is a manifestation of magic control. The routes of these light balls run differently and the speeds are not exactly the same. However, they run at high speeds without colliding together, which requires the mage to have super elemental control. In other words, this is actually no longer called control, but an instinct. Just like a centipede has so many legs, but it will not trip the left foot and the right foot. This is an instinctive control. If a human is allowed to control the centipede's body, no matter how serious you operate it, it will inevitably step on yourself in the end.

Kris Dena can control the light balls like an arm, and she said she has entered an instinct state. Such a mage does not need to recall magic spells, elemental arrangements, etc. In battle, she almost thinks of magic, and magic has already taken shape. This is the truly powerful mage, because she can use magic as she wants like moving her fingers.

The elf patriarch was surprised to see this and his chin was almost falling off. Before, Polesephone and I both released our power fluctuations, so the elf patriarch knew that we were very strong, but Kris Dena did not enter the elemental elf state and is still in the basic form. Therefore, the magic fluctuations on her body were not very exaggerated, which made the elf patriarch misjudgment her strength.

"You are such a powerful mage? It seems that our affairs are much easier this time!" After saying that, the elf patriarch looked at me and asked, "Is the strength of you two the same?"

I shook my head and said, "Persephone is a god, you should have noticed this. Although it is not your god here, nor the goddess of moon you believe in, she is a real goddess of spring. Therefore, her ability is closer to the plant-type mage of your elves, and can manipulate and stimulate plant battles. But I think it is a waste to let her fight. The most suitable position for Poersephone should be healing. With her here, your casualties can be reduced by at least 80."

"You are indeed a god. You were really rude before." The elf leader stopped and apologized to Polesephone. Although Polesephone is not the god they believe in, they are a genuine god after all, and they still need to maintain a certain sense of awe for this identity. Besides, Polesephone is the goddess of spring, and this god position and the elf race can be said to be very consistent with the elf, so Polesephone can easily get favor from the elves.

After introducing them, the elf patriarch looked at me and asked, "It seems that you are their leader. I am very curious. What kind of existence should you be if you can become a leader of a god and a powerful mage?"

"My existence may be a little bit unfavorable with the attributes of your elves. I have always been regarded as a demon king before!"

The elf patriarch nodded and said, "I sensed the powerful killing aura and the strong dark aura from your power, and I even smelled the undead. But it was strange. Generally speaking, such an existence is absolutely unpopular to us, but you have a breath that makes us feel peaceful, even a little bit of a desire to be close to you. This contrast is quite strange! We have never encountered such an existence before."

"I said, I was called the Demon King before. My attributes were completely dark, and my relationship with most dark creatures was still past. The reason why you feel my affinity is because I am a biennial being. I have an independent soul and two bodies with completely opposite attributes. Now you see the existence of the dark system. If so, you may not have any doubts." I said and switched directly to the body image.

Although the attributes of my two accounts are fully combined, I can actually switch appearances, and my abilities under different forms will also have a certain bias. When I switched to the Silver Moon form, the elf patriarch on the opposite side immediately exclaimed: "Are you water, light dual-system?"

I nodded and said, "Actually, there are some fire and life systems, but overall they are mainly water and light systems. However, once they enter the attack mode, they will be completely converted to fire systems."

"No wonder I feel that with such a strong affinity, all the attributes on you are the most affinity for us elves, and the most rare thing is that the four-system attributes on you are actually a balanced circulation system, which is simply the most perfect existence. It's so exciting!"

The attributes of the elves themselves should actually be considered as the compound attributes of the wood system and the life system. The water system and light system on me have nourishment and comfort effects, which are the most needed attributes for the wood system and the life system. Not to mention the life energy, it is directly one of the basic energy of the elves. However, this fire system is not very useful to the elves, but this is an indispensable system. Because if the wood system continues to grow, it will not form a resource cycle. Therefore, the fire system has the meaning of destruction and rebirth for the wood system. Moreover, the fire system is the basis for maintaining temperature. Whether it is a wood system or a life system, it still requires temperature. Therefore, even if there are too many fire systems, it will harm the elves, but it will not work if there are fewer ones. The fire elements in my body are in a balanced state with the other three systems, so it will not produce side effects, and it can also maintain the cycle of the other three systems. This forms a stable cycle, which can be said to be endless.

After the elf patriarch finished speaking, I asked, "Well, I wonder what trouble you are doing this time? My two physical attributes have some deviations, so we have to decide which body to use to participate in the task according to the situation."

"Actually, this is what happened this time..."

The elf patriarch introduced a lot of content, and she introduced us to the cause and effect of this matter. After she finished speaking, we had already arrived at the army's refusal to accept the city.

According to the introduction of the elf patriarch, I roughly know what happened this time. Although this matter sounds complicated, it is all about internal hidden information and more complicated. The superficial incident is very simple. For our mission, it is simply described as a group of young elves in the elf patriarch who were captured, and our mission is to find them and rescue them.

This mission sounds like a search mission, but it is actually a combat mission, because the other party did not send a small team to catch people, but a very large army. As for the other party's identity... it is actually an elf.

The group of ours is the forest elves among the nature elves, while the enemy opposite is the black elves from the underground world.

A common name for natural elves is the white elves, and the black elves and the white elves happen to be two opposites. However, it may be somewhat different from most people's speculations. The white elves and the black elves are actually not mortal enemies. The relationship between the two should be said to be limited cooperation. If we make a quantitative measure of the relationship between them, it should actually be considered a neutral and friendly state. In other words, the two are not only not enemies, but may also be relatively close.

I said before that the internal hidden information of this mission is quite complicated, because the relationship between the white elves and the black elves is not actually hostile. However, due to conflicts between some individuals within the two tribes, this incident occurred. But a more serious problem is that there are two special existences among the captured white elves. One of them is the son of the elf leader around us, and it is likely to become the next patriarch. The other one is even more deadly. She is the princess of the elf empire in South America.

The one we came to this time is just an elf city, not an elf king capital. The elves use the city-state system in national management. The highest leader in the city is called the patriarch, but in fact they are the city lords, grand dukes or kings. The elf kings have the right to rule over these elf cities, but they cannot directly control them. The captured princess is the daughter of the elf queen in the upper king capital of this elf city, and that person is also likely to become the next queen.

The two such beings were captured by the black elves, and the matter immediately escalated from personal conflict to diplomatic incidents, and now the two sides have become tense. In fact, there is one thing that the elf patriarch has not made it clear to us, that is, the two sides have not really started a war. The reason why they have pulled out so many troops is because both sides do not want to fight. Everyone is trying hard to build people up, hoping to use their own strength to overwhelm the other side and surrender. Unfortunately, such confrontation ultimately makes the atmosphere on both sides more tense, and the original small conflict now has the possibility of a full-scale war.

"So that's how it is?" After listening to the explanation of the elf leader, I had already changed back to the purple sun form. This mission probably requires cutting-edge combat power, so the Silver Moon image is useless. There are only three things that are most suitable for that Silver Moon form: favorability, treatment and massacre. Now it is obvious that these three are not very useful.

Kris Dyna asked: "Now both sides don't want to fight, but this is the case. Can we really solve the problem by suppressing high-end force like us? If the other party is mentally broken, wouldn't the battle break out directly?"

The elf patriarch also said hesitantly: "I know this is not right, but now it is already like this. If we don't continue to accumulate, once the balance is broken, we will eventually start a war."

Polesephone suddenly asked, "Is it possible to use special means to rescue people first?"

"We have also thought about this, but it is not realistic to realize it."

"Why?" Kris Dena asked in confusion.

The elf patriarch said helplessly: "It's also our fault. Because we have actually done this once before, the other party has taken all the hostages to the underground world and hid them. We now have no idea where the other party hid people. It is difficult to find them if they act quietly, but a large-scale attack is not what we hope for. This is really a difficult situation!"

"Actually, I think we're pretty suitable for this." Kris Dena suddenly said.

The elf patriarch looked at us in surprise and asked, "Are you good at finding people?"

I nodded and said, "Tracking and infiltration are our specialties, and we have some small means to deal with those guards without hurting people. This way, it should be easier to deal with diplomatically. But before that, I think you'd better tell us why they were arresting your people?"

"This is just a personal grudge. I don't know how the grudge arose occurred. Anyway, there is a conflict between a family on the black elves and a family on our side. Then, the children of a family on our side recently knew that the family on the opposite side had undertaken an important task to transport some things from outside to the capital of the black elves. After the children of this family on our side knew about this, they called my son and some of their playmates to destroy the transportation, and then shame the other family and accept punishment."

"Then they were caught?" asked Kris Dyna.

The elf patriarch shook his head and said, "They succeeded, but what they didn't expect was that those supplies were not simple things. Some very important strategic supplies were the key to the life and death of the black elves."

"So this time they offended the black elves miserably." I interjected.

The elf patriarch nodded and continued, "Indeed, for this reason, the other party's black elves family was severely punished, and the people from their family planned to take revenge on those who participated in the attack. However, they didn't expect that our princess would come to the city for a trip during the attack. At that time, my son accompanied her and some playmates of the same age to play outside, but he was kidnapped by the other party. Later, because the princess was robbed, the matter became serious."

Polesephone asked in confusion: "The other party didn't want to hijack the princess at the beginning. If you issued a diplomatic application at that time, they would have released the princess, right?"

"It was originally like this, but unfortunately, the family here is responsible for diplomacy. Their family has been disliked by each other for a long time, so the notice documents sent out were a bit unkind. You also know that diplomatic attitude is very important. Of course, the other party cannot lose face when seeing such documents, so they refuse to hand them over to the princess and ask us to apologize, and the matter becomes big."

"It's really an erratic incident!" I sighed. Then I said, "We probably know the matter. If you don't mind, I think it's better not to participate in your positive actions. We plan to bypass the other army and try to rescue the princess and the others who were arrested."

"But our relationship is already very tense now. If you are discovered again..."

"So what if we are discovered?" Krissidna asked the other party with a smile: "Can the black elves start a war against the white elves because a group of humans attacked them?"

The elf leader was stunned and then realized. "Yes. You are not elves. As long as you don't say it yourself, who knows what you are doing? I'm so anxious."

After getting the approval of the elves' patriarch, we decided to start the rescue plan. Of course, we need to make some preparations before the plan begins. The first thing is to have to do is have a map. The black elves live in the underground world, and that place is a natural maze. Without a map, our mission time will be at least doubled. Fortunately, the relationship between the two tribes was just right, so there are maps and other places here, and it is quite detailed.

After the map was completed, we got some personal belongings of the abducted personnel from here, and of course these things were used as scent basis. I said that if you can find the other party, it mainly depends on Bailang's nose, so you must first know the other party's scent before you can track it down.
Chapter completed!
