Chapter 56 About Arthur
Arthur treated his friends absolutely sincerely. He agreed directly without listening to the conditions of the Elves.
Even the Lane was a little surprised that Arthur was so direct, "You don't have to agree so anxiously, because what I need you to do is very dangerous, and you may even lose your life for it. You can think about it before replying to me."
"It's okay, what do you think you need me to do, right? I will seriously consider the risks."
Thranyi then said directly: "I need you and your friends to go deeper and help our mother clean up the pests."
"Mother? Pest?" Arthur didn't understand the meaning of the Elves.
Thranyi pointed to the elf mother tree behind him before Arthur suddenly realized. Although the elves were born like humans, the elves always believed that their original ancestors were born in Gaia, the Elf Tree Dream.
"My mother's body contains rich life energy, and many creatures covet her energy. On the ground, our elves can protect her. But her roots have been plunging into the depths of thousands of meters underground. There are many disgusting insects and monsters underground that want to absorb her energy, but our elves are powerless. One of the insects, called the tooth-eating ants, is particularly hateful. They feed on their mother's roots and eat their bodies day and night."
"I have a question, how powerful are those insects, how did you elves remove insects from the elves' mother tree before?"
The Great Elder continued to explain: "In addition to the large number of tooth-eating ants, they are very low in strength, not even first-level monsters. However, our strength will be greatly limited underground. We used to destroy them to almost use the lives of the elves to fill in. In addition, because they feed on their mother's energy for countless years, they have developed resistance to the attacks of our elves. Apart from completely smashing their heads with weapons, it is difficult to kill them. Every time we remove insects for our mother, many elves sacrificed for it."
Arthur nodded, "I understand, if I promise you to deworm a single time for the Elf Mother Tree, you can save my friend."
"It's you! You and your companions must accept this task, otherwise you will be eaten by those bugs if you only rely on your own strength. In addition, after the matter is done, I am willing to take the risk of trying to save your friend, but I cannot guarantee that I will wake her up."
After listening to the task request of the Great Elder, Arthur did not rush to agree immediately, "Because other people are involved, I need to discuss with my companions, and I will give you a reply soon."
"If you finally agree, I have an additional condition, that is, you humans can only do this matter, and dwarves must not be involved!"
Although Arthur was puzzled by this condition, he agreed without hesitation, "No problem."
......
The undead highland, in an unknown cave.
A sudden roar of Gary came from the cave, "What did you say? We had been traveling in such a harsh highlands for a year, but that bastard ran to the Elf Kingdom to have fun?"
Arnold, who had already known Grimm's temper, had to nod and respond.
"We'll go to the Elf Kingdom, too." Grie blurted out almost without her brain.
"How to go?"
The sudden words of Huey made Gori realize that the elves' borders are closed to the human race. Even so, he insisted: "If you find a way to sneak in, aren't there many hunting teams who risk going to the elves' country to catch elves' slaves?"
"Even if we can sneak in, the area of the Elf Kingdom is more than ten times that of the Necrotic Highlands. How can we find it? Do you ask one by one when you find the Elf?" Huey said so many things, mainly because he doesn't want to leave here for the time being.
Hearing Huey say this, Gori was deflated and suddenly realized Arnold's existence, "Why didn't you go with him?"
"The elves are very repulsive of dark magic, and I still have a lot to do in the Necrotic Heights. Anyway, he will return to the Dwarf Kingdom sooner or later."
"You mean he will return to the Dwarf Kingdom?" Grie regained her spirits again.
"Of course, he has nowhere to accommodate him on the mainland."
"Then what are you going to do in the Necropolis Heights during this period?"
"The family may have some actions against the Light Church in the near future. I am here to check how much available things are left in the previous spiritual magic circle?"
When she remembered the light church, Gori was full of anger. If it weren't for Arnold and his fellow dark magicians who arrived by chance, her bloody group would probably have been destroyed by the ambush of the Punishment Knights. Even so, they had killed or injured more than 100 people this time.
It is naturally not Gary's personality to not take revenge. Her eyes rolled twice quickly, "Anyway, we have nothing to do during this period. How about our Blood Yao Group and your Zenaya family asking for trouble for the Light Church?"
Arnold spread his hands, "If you are not afraid of causing trouble, I don't care. I don't think the patriarch will have any objection."
Grie waved her fist hard, "That's it. Let's continue to wait for Arthur to have fun with the Church of Light on the Highlands!"
......
As soon as Lingyu returned to the Orc Temple, she was confined by the high priest. Someone followed her day and night, and she was not allowed to leave the apse where she usually lives.
Lingyu now has the label of a human woman. Even the young orcs who had always looked for opportunities to get in front of her were avoided. The eyes that looked at her behind her were more contempt than desire.
The red and blue moonlight shone through the window edges on the head of the bed, and Lingyu curled up at the end of the bed with her legs in her arms. The moonlight made her feel cold. She fell asleep in this position for many nights.
"What do you think of that boy Arthur?" A familiar voice suddenly came out of the window.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?"
"I'm Leon. Don't worry, I have no malice. I've known him a long time ago, since we were both children."
"Why did you tell me this?"
Leon did not answer Ling Yu's question, but continued to ask: "Are you really going to be with him? There are few brave and dedicated men in the human race."
Lingyu thought about it seriously, then nodded softly.
"Arthur may be a brave man, but do you really think he can come to the temple to pick you up? No human race has ever been able to step into the temple for tens of thousands of years, including the Emperor of Light, Garlanlot, who is known as the rare genius of the human race for thousands of years."
The room was silent, and a soft sob came from the sound of soft sobs.
"If one day I have the opportunity to take you away, I hope you can cooperate."
The room fell silent again.
