Chapter 674 The daily life of the elf
The sunlight shines through the mist, leaving golden spots with faint changes on the different greens, setting off the "natural residence" vigorous and dreamy.
Ulyssian and Felipe led the other members of the "delegation" to follow Arestine and Exilion through the treehouse, being watched by elves, either bold or shy, their pointed ears swaying slightly, and the clothes woven from the leaves were close and elegant.
"Everyone, you have been living here during this time, don't break around at will, some elves are not friendly to humans." Estine pointed to a grove of dozens of big trees and said, there were enough tree houses on it.
Listening to her words, Avery shook his tail and said seriously: "No problem."
It heard clearly that some elves were only unfriendly to humans, and it seemed that they could go around and collect some souvenirs.
Ulyssian smiled and said to Estine: "Your Highness, please also give me a list of fallen and demonized elves."
"They are all in the 'prison' near the elf tree, you are going to investigate now?" Exilion identifies with the positive attitude of the sorcerers.
Yurisian shook his head: "In that case, Your Excellency Evans and the others will definitely go to check, we will still go around the forest and ask these fallen elf friends to understand the specific situation, so ......"
He was smiling and stopped when he clicked.
Estine nodded slightly: "I will give you the information of the fallen elves and their friends."
"It is best to mark the ones who had the most contact with them before the Fall." Felipe, who was intervening next to him, added that although this seems to be an infection caused by the abyss aura, no possibility can be ruled out until the matter is investigated clearly, otherwise it will be easy to be deceived.
Exilion's face changed slightly, and then he nodded in agreement.
This was not his guilty conscience as a thief, but the most normal reaction of any elf executive after hearing Felipe's words, he suspected that something was wrong with the elves.
Under the sun, Felipe's face was very similar to that of a vampire who had not gone out in a coffin for many years, but he did not explain that this was a normal investigation process, leaving Exileon and Ellestine to guess.
Ten minutes later, Annick and Splinter walked towards the southeast of the forest with the list and the marked locations.
"Ulmer, good friend of the fallen elf Kelette......" Annick read the list.
Under the gaze of the handsome-looking elves of both men and women, his face flushed uncontrollably, so he quickly threw himself a "mechanized mind".
Splinter glanced at him: "What's so shy about this? We are the investigators, so we are naturally in the active position, so they should be nervous!"
"I am always cramped and uneasy when facing strangers, and I can't control my emotions." The flush on Annick's face faded, and his eyes became cold and relentless, like a steel golem.
Splinter curled his lips: "Cramped? You are too unconfident, saying or doing wrong is a common thing."
"Worried about making a bad impression on them? It's funny, we don't know if we can come to Stroop Forest again, so what if you do something very embarrassing? And your shy and cramped appearance makes the other person feel bad more than any embarrassing thing."
He has always criticized Annick's character, and this time he accepted Heidi's "commission" to help Annick be more confident and bolder, so that he can better face the teacher and put the arcane debate aside.
"How could it be? I like this kind of shy boy the most, which shows that his heart is very pure and simple!" Suddenly, a soft voice joined their conversation.
Splinter looked over while scolding his belly, and saw a beautiful elf with a melon seed face approaching, with black hair and silver skin, wearing a simple leaf suit, and holding a harp in her hand.
Looking up and down, Splinter secretly said to Annick: "An elf has taken a fancy to you, don't miss this opportunity, otherwise with your personality, you will be destined to be single for the rest of your life."
He cleared his throat and asked his friend: "This lady, I don't know what to call you?"
"I'm a man." The beautiful elf's pointed and soft ears waved, as if they were no strangers to this situation.
Even with a "mechanized mind", Annick's face became very ugly, and Splinter even said with twitching facial muscles: "Are you a man? You still say you like boys the most?"
The beautiful elf shook the harp in her hand, with the temperament of a poet: "Love knows no gender."
Annik grabbed Splinter, held back the discomfort, and turned to leave.
"No wonder the information in the Arcane Library says that elves love art and have all kinds of strange special preferences because of their long and leisurely lives......" Splinter was deeply repentant and frightened, and almost pushed his friend into the abyss.
Before Annick could answer, the beautiful elf behind him said with a smile: "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Ulmer, I heard you just pronounce my name?"
He is a moon spirit with excellent hearing, especially when the wind is favorable in the forest.
"Ulmer?" Sprint and Annick stopped, and turned around with not very good faces.
"Mr. Ulmer, we have something to ask you." In the end, Annick, who was blessed with a "mechanized mind", "mustered up the courage" to ask.
Ulmer said with a smile: "You two, what do you think of the lyre? Has human improvement of the harp lost the most essential thing?"
"......" Annick and Splinter were speechless, although their teacher was a great musician, they followed him to learn arcane and magic, not music! They can't even find directions for this kind of professional music problem!
Ulmer shook his head with a sigh: "If we don't understand art, we can't be friends, and it's hard for us to talk happily, do you have any thoughts on wax figures? I recently bought one, and it feels very interesting, do you like it?"
"......" Sprint and Annick were stunned again, and suddenly felt that their usual lives were too "stylish".
"You don't understand the wax figure? Hmm, what about the lost civilization? I heard that the Magic Council has found a remnant of a steam civilization?" Ulmer said disappointedly.
Huh, Annick and Splinter sighed at the same time, discussing history and lost civilization is the specialty of every arcanist, otherwise there is no way to take risks and identify things, and this ruin was discovered by his own teacher.
After a pleasant conversation, Ulmer finally let go: "Two guests came to ask about Kelette?"
"Yes, we want to know if there were any signs of abnormality before his fall?" Annick was relieved and quickly asked.
Ulmer's slender and well-proportioned hand plucked the strings twice, bringing out a beautiful note, and said sadly: "Everything is fine, Kelette also said that he learned a special dance and was going to show me it, and it turned out ...... He fell into a demonic ......."
The voice gradually deepened, almost silent.
"Special dance?" Annick is shy, but he has a cautious and delicate personality and does not let go of any clues.
"This is our agreement to compose psalms and music to each other, or choreograph various special dances based on the records of different civilizations to please each other." Ulmer explained, looking gloomy.
This seems to be fine...... Sprint continued to ask: "Besides you, is Kellite close to anyone? Or which faction of elves are you closer to?"
"We are all natural balance people, and we all like music, sculpture, oil painting and other things in human society." Ulmer didn't hide it, and suddenly remembered something authentic, "He has a few friends of the natural haters, but the 'natural abode' is a small circle, who doesn't have a few friends of the natural haters? By the way, before the fall, he had just rotated to guard the abyss crevice, which may be the reason for his demonization......"
This was the main clue provided by the Elven Court, and Annick and Splinter knew very well that they couldn't ask for any other valuable information, so they bid farewell to Ulmer and looked for the next elf on the list.
…………
Heidi and Katrina also took a list and walked through the forest guarded by the "natural abode", and from time to time saw elves carving statues with dead tree roots, or painting on bark paper with special natural pigments, a leisurely and tranquil social scene.
"Everyone......
Hundreds of elves gathered in a clearing in front of them, and a medium-sized female elf stood on the tree, giving a speech - the reason why Heidi can affirm the gender is mainly distinguished by the dress of the elves.
If they were dressed the same, Heidi and Katrina would have to be more careful to distinguish, after all, the elves were relatively slender and beautiful for both men and women, and the two of them couldn't rudely use magic to identify them.
Stopping next to the clearing, Katrina tugged at the corner of Heidi's clothes, pointed to the other side and said, "Mr. Felipe......"
The gloomy Felipe stood quietly under a large tree with her hands in her pockets, listening to the elven girl's speech.
「…… I am Noh Daniel, and I am here to call on everyone to hunt more spotted deer." The elf girl's voice was high-pitched but not sharp.
"What?"
"Spotted deer is such a docile forest animal?"
The elves below expressed their confusion.
No, Daniel? Heidi and Katrina looked at each other, this is what they are going to look for.
Daniel Noh said earnestly: "The out-of-control incident of the Abyss Rift has made the hunters in the forest crazy and bloodthirsty, so we have killed a lot of them, and their numbers have decreased sharply.
"If the spotted deer exceed a certain limit, they will cause irreparable damage to the forest as their staple food on rhizomes, roots and other things."
"We must maintain the balance of nature!"
Is this the "natural balancer"? Heidi and Katrina listened excitedly.
When Nodaniel finished his speech and most of the elves accepted, the two greeted him.
