The night gradually became deeper, and the snowflakes flying all over the sky were like pure elves, floating around the quiet castle.』Bi     』Δ                                                                                                     

BiQuGe.

The firewood in the CN fireplace makes a light sound from time to time, and the orange-red flames are like passionate and unrestrained dancers, radiating light and heat to the fullest.

Lea put down the notes in her hand, "Introduction to the Big 6 Common Words" and looked at Luna, who was sitting on the carpet playing with various plush dolls: "Luna...well, sister."

The light golden long and soft draped on the clean long-haired carpet, and under the wide home pants, the delicate and slender toes 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 strands of thin orange sand were raised, as if gentle gauze 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 surround a circle of neither big nor small. Inside the circle, exquisite stone houses seem to be gems scattered in the desert, surrounding a huge lake.

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, a huge tree stump that is difficult to describe lies occupy the entire island. Countless annual rings spread from the heart of the tree - each ring is portrayed as a hundred thousand years.

"1,2,3...152,153...Huh?" The light golden long 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.

The boat of Leaf was like a huge leaf, with leaves slashing through the mirror-like lake surface and pulling out beautiful water patterns. 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 figures were running, and a few flying butterflies chased the raised light golden tips, walked through the exquisite stone house, passed through the circular square, and bypassed the wooden stand with colorful clothes, and scared away a few squirrels and birds who were leisurely 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 with vines are also embellished with beautiful reliefs.

Next to the three-story stone house, there is an exquisite second-story hut full of 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 light golden long and delicate plaits were 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, who had a brown curly, 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 first."

"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 spoke 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 head, and the patriarch replied softly: "We will always have a solution."

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 divided into two is reunited, it will be revitalized. 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."

The patriarch leaned over and hugged his daughter, watching her jumping and jogging out the door, with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth.

...

Above the ink-like sky, there are stars like diamonds. The holy starlight is slowly cast down, litting the starlight trees scattered in the small village. The starlight leaves curled like snail shells gradually lit up the misty clear light like stars. The exquisite elf village is decorated like a beautiful picture.

The desert elves with wheat-colored skin and a unique face gathered in groups by the lake shore where the Tree of Life is located. On the trunks of the tree carved into a long table, the lantern grass was radiated with soft golden light, the colorful exquisite fruits and flowers were neatly arranged, and of course the clear elf fruit wine.

"Little Luna is such an elf favored by stars. Her birthday happens to be the day of the Starlight Dinner!"

"Happy birthday! Luna."

"Ahhaha, everyone is so enthusiastic!"

Amid the cheerful music, the laughter of the elves echoed on the beautiful lakeside, and the lake surface reflecting the starry sky seemed to be conquered by joy, causing ripples.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed: "Look! What is that?"

The music came to an abrupt end, and the elves looked up one after another. A red starlight broke through the distant eastern sky and slowly fell to an unknown earth...

“Woo~~Woo~~~”

The shrill horn suddenly resounded throughout the village, and the elves couldn't help but look at each other.

"Don't be stunned, pick up your weapons quickly! An enemy has invaded!" The voice of the elf clan leader Qingling sounded, awakening the clans who were in a daze.

Luna ran back to the second-story cottage of her home, and took out a white belt with gold edges from under her pillow, and tied it up in a few seconds, which had already hung to the length of her waist.

Then she flew to grab the compound bow thrown on the long table, skillfully turned the strings, and carried a large pot of sharp arrows, and ran out again.

At the same time, the fully armed elves also arrived at the periphery of the stone pillar group in an orderly manner.

The orange desert was dyed with a layer of platinum under the starlight. A series of strange black shadows that slowly wriggled seemed extremely conspicuous in the platinum sand.

"What is that?" a young elf asked in disbelief.

However, no one could answer him. No young elves had ever seen such a strange shadow. The wise elders were busy behind him.

"Swoosh!" An arrow shining with green light cut through the night and sank into a strange shadow.

However, the shadow did not stop at all, and continued to slowly and firmly advance towards the elves' defense.

At the same time, with the buzzing sound of the air trembling, a semicircular shield flashing with hazy green light sprinkled from the air. After a moment, it covered the entire village.

Then, the patriarch's cold voice suddenly rang in the elves' minds: "The guard attacks with all his might! Sally went to the west side of the village to set up an observation post! Miranda went to the south!"

The elves who were originally a little restless calmed down after hearing this sound. Two elves, one man and one woman, left the gang with their companions and ran in the designated direction.

The next second, the arrows flashing with green light drew dazzling arcs, and the sound of breaking through the air penetrated into the wriggling shadows!

A series of thorn vines covered with barbed appeared instantly under the shadows and tangled without hesitation!

As the sound of the low spell sounded, rows of green spears suddenly appeared in the air above the shadows! A golden flash lit up on the sharp spear tips, and then fell like a rainstorm!

"Boom~Boom~Boom!" In the vast desert, huge explosions were heard, and the dunes where the shadows were boiling in an instant as if the earth dragon turned over!

After a long time, the sand and dust in the sky gradually fell, and the original dune had already fallen deep into the ground. The elves' excellent eyesight allowed them to easily see the scene in the sand pit - it was a creature that looked like a bear, with disgusting black fog gushing out of its broken body, its right front paw was seven or eight times larger than a normal bear, and it became as shriveled as a dead tree. The hair behind it had completely fallen off, replaced by dense gray-white sarcoma like eyes, and even the red pupils on the sarcoma were still rotating.

"What the hell is this?" The elves' eyes showed disgusting eyes. For some reason, it seemed that everyone hated these strange creatures in their hearts, just like an instinct like eating and sleeping.

There were other twisted animals lying in the sand pit, but no one was willing to take a look.

Just as the elves were about to turn around and leave, sand and dust suddenly rose from the edge of the distant horizon.

"Starlight! Those...those!" An elf just glanced at the desert in the distance, but screamed in horror!

The elves looked back and saw strange shadows that were beyond the limit were pouring towards them!

At the same time, warning horns were also heard from the west and south! The small elf village was surrounded by unknown enemies like the sea on such a star-lit night!

"Don't panic, everyone! The blessing of life will block these monsters! Keep your position!" The voice of the patriarch sounded in the elves' minds again, and the panic that originally permeated the crowd gradually calmed down.

The desert elves have not experienced war for more than a thousand years. The elites who survived the war between gods and demons have gradually returned to the embrace of the Tree of Life in the course of more than a thousand years.

Now the young elves who are holding bows, arrows, short swords and staffs to defend the village are all generations who have grown up in a peaceful environment since childhood. Although the fighting skills of the elves are not abandoned, they seem a little overwhelmed in the face of such large-scale combat scenes.

Fortunately, they also have a patriarch who has always guarded everyone. The elf patriarch stood on the huge tree stump in the center of the lake, with a blue light shrouded all over their body, looking solemn and holy.

Six gray elves were sitting in six directions, kneeling in the corner of the stump, pressing their hands on the stump under them, and the same green light shrouded over them.

The seven most noble desert elves were connected by a huge six-pointed magic array. The dazzling blue light column rose from the magic array with golden light, and then dispersed in the air, turning into the "Blessing of Life" that enveloped the entire elf village.

The elves retreated to the protection of life blessings, reorganized their defense lines, and shot wave after wave of arrow rain and magic at the twisted creatures that had already flowed outside the village.
