The night gradually became deeper, and the snowflakes flying all over the sky were like pure elves, floating around the quiet castle. The firewood in the fireplace made a light "beep" sound from time to time, and the orange-red flames were like passionate and unrestrained dancers, radiating light and heat to the fullest.

Lea put down the "Introduction to Mainland Common Language" with the notes in her hand, and looked at Luna, who was sitting on the carpet playing with various plush dolls: "Luna...well, sister."

The long light golden hair was softly spread on the clean long-haired carpet, and under the wide home pants, two small and delicate wheat-colored feet were exposed. The elf holding a plush bear raised his head: "What's the matter, Sister Lia?"

"I've always been curious, how did you cross the Milesian Desert and come to the Kingdom of Freya?"

"This..." The light of remembrance flashed in the green eyes: "This is a very long story..."

...

In the washing blue sky, the hot sun burned the earth. The orange sea of ​​sand was vast and boundless. A breeze blew, and a thin layer of orange sand was raised, as if gentle scarves were dancing leisurely.

At the foot of the barren mountain deep in the desert, exquisitely carved stone pillars are located, and the stone pillars form a circle of neither big nor small. Inside the circle, exquisite stone houses seem to be gems scattered in the desert, surrounding the huge lake in the center.

The blue lake water is like a flawless mirror, without a trace of turbulent waves, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, as well as a few green palm trees by the lake.

On the small island in the middle of the lake, an indescribable huge tree stump occupies the entire island. Countless annual rings spread from the tree center, and the time depicted by each circle of annual rings is 100,000 years.

"1,2,3...152,153...Huh?" The long light golden hair scattered on her thin shoulders, with a slightly fat wheat-colored face, showing a puzzled expression.

"It must be that the elf is dazzled. The elf needs to count it again!" The young elf scratched her head, and the originally soft light golden color was a little messy, but she didn't care about this, but raised her fingers and counted it again.

"1,2,3...151,152,153...Oh! It turns out that the elf is not counting wrong!" A happy smile appeared in her shiny green pupils. The elf thought in her heart that she was indeed the smartest. But soon she seemed to think of something again: "No, you must tell your mother about this!"

The small figure, who was originally kneeling among countless annual rings, jumped up in panic. Her slender fingers held the sides of the delicate robe, revealing two soft calves with soft lines. The elf jumped directly from the tall tree stump!

The thick and thin vines are like a natural slide, and the thin elf slides down the stumps all the way.

"Pa~" The round little butt fell accurately on the mooring Ye Zhibo, and ripples also arose on the calm lake.

Behind Ye Zhizhou, a beautiful water pattern was drawn. However, the elves who were operating the boat had no intention of enjoying this beautiful scenery.

Before Ye Zhizhou could dock, the elf jumped down with his robe. The clear lake water was less than his smooth calves, and the white fine sand was stirred by running feet.

The small figure ran through several exquisite stone houses, crossed the circular square, and bypassed the wooden racks with colorful clothes, and ran away a few squirrels and birds basking in the sun.

"Elf! Slow down, be careful to fall!"

"I can't grow up like this in a panic!"

"If you have time to come to my sister's house to eat the new Jina fruit this year!"

When the elves in the village saw the running figure, they all smiled from the bottom of their hearts. They were the smallest member of the desert elves and were loved by almost all the elves.

The running elf had no time to respond to those enthusiastic greetings one by one, so he had to free up a small hand and wave it back, treating it as his own answer.

At the foot of the desolate mountain range, a three-story stone house stands. On the eaves around the flat roof are exquisite reliefs of flowers and leaves. The pale yellow walls are carved with abstract myths and legends, and the columns covered by vines are also embellished with beautiful reliefs.

Next to the three-story stone house is an exquisite second-story hut with the same elf style. The elf ran to the door of the hut like a wind and pushed open the wooden door with a "bang".

On the spotless light green round carpet, pure white flowers and dark green leaves are embroidered. The sunlight passes through the thick round holes on the wooden window and mottles on the carpet. The beautiful flowers and leaves are brushed by the sun, as if they are coming alive, trembling slightly with the breeze.

The square stone table was surrounded by green vine leaves. A man and a woman sitting on both sides of the stone table raised their heads in surprise and looked at the door that was suddenly pushed open.

"Mom! Uh..." The elf had already swallowed the words to her mouth by her. She also looked at the extra man at the table with a look of surprise, and asked in confusion: "Who are you?"

The long light golden hair was carefully coiled up, and a small braid was wrapped around from the forehead to the back of the head. The same wheat-colored skin was soft and smooth, and the slender and perfect figure was covered by a dark red robe. The emerald green pupils looked at the small figure pushing the door, full of doting: "Little Luna, this is Hulk, the leader of the human caravan, and a friend of our desert elves."

Hulk, with brown curly hair, looked only thirty or forty years old, wearing a thick earthy desert robe. He touched his neatly trimmed mustache and greeted him in a standard desert elves, "Hello! The little princess of the elves."

"Hello! Human." Little Luna hurriedly replied with the elf's etiquette, but her eyes were staring at Hulk's ears in a dishonest manner.

[Is this human? The bare round ears are indeed true. Humans are really a strange creature!]

Hulk didn't care about the elf's rude gaze. He turned his head and smiled and said to the desert elf patriarch beside him: "Then I'll trouble you, Master, I'll prepare now."

"Well, during this period, Lumiya will help you, please don't worry." The elf leader nodded slightly, stood up and watched Hulk push the door and leave.

Then, her beautiful face turned to the elf standing beside her, and her green pupils showed a gentle look: "Little Luna, my daughter. Look at you being flustered, are there anything urgent? "

After hearing her mother's reminder, Luna remembered the purpose of her coming and said in her unique crisp voice: "Mom, the leaves of the Tree of Life are one less than last year!"

"Is that true..." The patriarch's eyelids couldn't help but droop, making people unable to see her gaze: "I understand."

"But Mom, will you lose one leaf every year..." Luna's tone trembled a little because of fear: "Will the Tree of Life die like that one day?"

"Of course not, silly kid..." The slender jade hands under the wide robe sleeve gently stroked the elf's light golden hair, and the patriarch replied softly: "We always have a way."

Feeling the gentle caress from the top of her head, Luna's little body, which was trembling due to fear, relaxed again. She squinted her eyes comfortably and asked vaguely: "What's the solution?"

"As long as the tree of life that is divided into two is reunited, it will regain its vitality. Mom has sent Red to find our fellow tribe. Thirty years have passed, and I believe we will get a reply soon."

"It turns out that my mother has been ready for a long time, which makes me worry for nothing..."

"Go, go play! As long as Xiao Luna grows up happily, let mother worry about these troubles."
