"I see……"
After listening to Lana's explanation, Qi Ge couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"So, in the historical echo of the harpy witch, I also have a perfect strategy?
No wonder he was able to obtain the mythical Immortal Forest."
Qi Ge thought for a moment and asked:
"Lana, can you teleport away with the other species on the Immortal Tree now?"
Lana nodded with a smile and said:
"sure!
I can even bring Brother Qi Ge and your troops back to the God's Chosen City.
After I leave, the Sea God can take back the divine power that he has placed here."
"Then let's leave as soon as possible."
"Um!!"
Following the notification from the Seven Pigeons, all races living around the Immortal Tree began to prepare for the great migration.
The sea people and sea boars returned to the land after a long absence. They knelt down and kissed the branches of the immortal tree, crying bitterly.
The harpies gathered around the old-looking queen and helped her comb her hair.
They wanted the queen, who had sacrificed herself to protect them for so many years, to leave this hellish place beautifully and welcome her new life.
All races were busy, only some small druids and elves on the island seemed particularly calm.
Considering the long lifespan of the elves, this hundred years or so is not very long.
Qi Ge didn't pay much attention to these elves at first, because their number was too small, only about thirty.
But now, Qi Ge suddenly realized a problem.
“When history echoed, I searched the entire ancient archipelago, but only found three [Druid Monks]: Tongyan Ju, Tongyan Da, and Tongyan Pin.
There were no other elves in the ancient archipelago at that time.
Where did these thirty elves come from?
Lilies are beautiful, but they can’t reproduce!
Three girl elves can't possibly give birth to thirty elves, right?
If the elves migrated to the ancient archipelago later, the number is too small.”
With strong curiosity, Qi Ge asked Lana for help to gather all the elves together.
Qi Ge took a glance and saw the three sisters with childlike faces among the three dozing druids.
Although they didn't know themselves, Qi Ge was still very happy, feeling the excitement of meeting old friends in a foreign land.
At this time, they no longer had the weak appearance they had before. With their equipment and appearance, they were definitely high-level soldiers.
The most promising Tongyan Giant, just like in the historical echoes, advanced to become the level 3, rank 5 miracle soldier [Druid Bishop].
Druid Bishop
…
trick:
Ranged Arms
Life Prayer: When the Druid Bishop is on the battlefield, all friendly soldiers will recover 10 points of health each round.
Magic Prayer: When the Druid Bishop is on the battlefield, all friendly soldiers will recover 2 points of mana per round.
Resurrection Prayer: Druid Bishop can revive one teammate regardless of distance. The resurrection points are the number of Druid Bishops * 300. (Can only be used once per battle)]
Temporarily suppressing his excitement, Qi Ge asked about the origins of the elves.
“My fellow countrymen.
Please allow me to call you that. Although I am only half elven, I am also one of your kind.
I am honored to fight alongside you and defeat Chaos.
I heard from Lana that you have been providing food for other arms to survive on the Undying Wood.
On behalf of Yasa and the gods, thank you for your dedication and persistence.
Having persisted in this chaotic sea for so long, you must have experienced a lot.
To be honest, my father is a very good bard.
If you can, could you tell me your story?
Heroes should not remain unknown, your stories need to be told.”
The elves looked at each other and looked at the Seven Pigeons with some caution.
This made Qi Ge feel very strange.
After all, he saved the Immortal Wood's reinforcements and should not be looked at in this way.
After a while, an elf carrying a bow and arrow came out.
He stood up straight and said to Qi Ge:
"Hero, thank you very much for your help.
We are just a group of ordinary elves, with no stories worth singing.
On behalf of all the elves, I ask you to let us leave on our own when we return to the Yasa world.
Once we find our clan, we will find you and repay your kindness."
Seeing the other party's actions, Qi Ge's pupils shrank and he had a vague guess in his mind.
He smiled calmly and said, "No problem. No one can restrict the freedom of elves, including me."
After chatting with the elves, Qi Ge's expression changed and he rushed to the top of the Immortal Tree without stopping.
The elves won't say, but there are plenty of people on the immortal tree who are willing to say.
He was going to find Lana and the harpies to get to the bottom of it.
“It won’t be wrong.
Guerrilla march and flower and tree salute are both etiquette of the army during the Elf Empire period.
The other side is the regular army from the Elf Empire period.
These thirty or so elves must be hiding some secrets."
Soon, Qi Ge arrived at Lana's room.
Seeing Qi Ge coming in a hurry, Lana asked curiously:
"Qi Ge, are you looking for me?"
"Lana, when did the elves on your immortal wood come? Do you remember?"
"Elf?"
Lana tilted her head in confusion and said:
"Remember, sixty years ago, a group of Emerald Dragons fled to us from another Emerald Islands that had not been swallowed by Chaos.
All the elves came with the Emerald Dragon.
No, it should be said that the Emerald Dragons sacrificed their entire race at all costs to protect the elves from escaping to our Undying Tree."
Qi Ge asked in shock:
"All the elves, including the three [Druid Bishops]?"
"Druid Bishop?"
Lana tilted her head in confusion.
“You don’t know him.
Well, how should I put it, there are three female elves who look very similar, and the one leading them is..."
Qi Ge used his hands to make two big watermelons on his chest.
"Then there are two left, one like this and the other like this."
Qi Ge then gestured a coconut and a flat board respectively.
"oh!!"
Lana understood the vivid body language immediately.
"I remember them. They also came here with the Emerald Dragon. They have a high status among the elves. Usually the elves are reluctant to let them get tired."
Seven Pigeons: ...
The three childlike sisters who originally lived in the Ancient Islands area actually came from the Emerald Islands...
“The Emerald Islands, the Emerald Dragons, and the remnants of the Elven Empire.
If there is no story here, I will remove Zhang Fuyou’s cartilage.”
“Princess Malodiya and Jenny told me that the Elf Empire once sent a fleet with the Silver Spirit as the flagship to the Chaos Sea to search for the fragments of the [Guardian Statue of the Soul].
Could it be that these elves that emerged from the Emerald Island are the crew members of that fleet?
It's possible, but not likely.
If I remember correctly, the main members of that fleet were silver elves.
But these elves are basically druids and wood elves.
But we cannot completely deny this possibility.
No, this is related to the safety of the galaxy, I have to test it anyway."
Qi Ge fell into thought:
“When we return to the Yasha world, forcing the elves to stay might arouse their vigilance.
Just test it on the immortal wood."
Thinking of this, Qi Ge rushed back to the Silver Spirit, found Elena, and explained the situation to her.
"You suspect they are members of the Mithril Fleet?"
Elena opened her eyes wide in disbelief:
“That’s impossible. It’s been nearly 200 years since the Mithril Fleet disappeared.
Wood elves are relatively long-lived, but druids live less than 300 years.
When the Mithril Fleet was selecting its crew, they chose the top players of our elves at the time, and the youngest was over a hundred years old.
If those elves were the crew of the Mithril Fleet, then the druids you saw would be very old."
Qi Ge touched his chin and said:
“That’s true, but I always have a feeling that they are hiding some secrets.
When they saw me , they were unusually alert and vigilant.
He even seemed reluctant to talk to me.
In their communications with me, they were very cautious about revealing any information and showed an extremely strong desire to stay away.”
Qi Ge pointed at his own face and said:
“If a male elf behaved like this, I could still barely understand it, but even the female elves among them reacted like this.
Elena, do you think this is normal?
Elena stared at Qi Ge carefully for a while and nodded in agreement:
“You’re right, it’s not normal.
I'll go with you to have a look. If they are indeed the descendants of the Elven Empire, perhaps there are people among our Silver Elves who know them."
…
…
Elena followed Qi Ge and looked around curiously.
There were many races on the Immortal Wood that she had never seen before, which opened her eyes.
Especially the sea boar whose whole body was blue except for its white teeth, which made Elena lose her mind.
Along the way, she asked Qi Ge several times if she could ask a voluntary sea boar to lend her two tusks to study whether they could be used as materials for making medicine, but Qi Ge ruthlessly refused every time.
As the two approached the elves' stronghold, something strange happened.
An elf was walking on the road carrying a bowl of water. The moment he saw Qi Ge and Elena, he froze in place.
Even when the bowl in his hand fell on the tree bark and broke, he didn't feel anything.
Elena and Qi Ge looked at the elf strangely at the same time. Just as Qi Ge was about to greet him, the elf suddenly jumped up and shouted excitedly:
"Silver Yue Wuzhu!!"
"Master Disaster Wizard!"
Qi Ge: ???
Qi Ge quickly looked at Elena and found that Elena's expression was also very surprised.
Qi Ge quietly poked Elena and asked:
"Elena, what's going on? Do you know each other?"
Elena also replied in a low voice:
“I didn’t know him, but he was calling out the title of my mother, Elaine Yue.
My mother, Yilian Yue, is an elf witch who predicts disasters.
Yilian Yue is my mother’s real name, but in the clan, she usually calls herself Yin Yue.
Qi Ge, you guessed it right, the other party is really an elf from the Elf Empire period."
Qi Ge and Elena were just talking when the elf started running back excitedly.
He moved through the tree house made of immortal wood leaves, shouting:
"Everyone, come out quickly! Master Yin Yue is here to pick us up."
"Everyone, come out! The master of the witch is here!"
"Master Wuzhu?!"
"The Disaster Wizard has also come to the Sea of ​​Chaos?"
In the tree house, the elves responded in disbelief and poked their heads out of the tree house one after another.
They were all excited when they saw Elena, who had flowing silver hair and stunning looks.
"It's really Master Wuzhu."
"Quick, go and see Master Wuzhu."
Except for the three child-faced sisters who were at a loss, the other elves all ran over excitedly.
They excitedly surrounded Elena, knelt on one knee, and shouted loudly:
"May the witch bless you, and you will be free from disasters and troubles."
Elena quickly took a step back and said seriously:
"You are kneeling in the wrong place, Yin Yue is my mother.
Right now, I am only a disaster wizard of the Silver Elf clan, not a disaster wizard of the entire Elf clan, so I am not qualified to accept your greetings."
"Mother?"
"Is Yin Yue Wuzhu married? Is her child already this big?"
"How is this possible?"
The elves were very surprised.
Qi Ge felt something was wrong, he had a very strong sense of disharmony.
Qi Ge held Elena's hand and said with a frown:
"I can testify that she is indeed not the Yin Yue you mentioned, and she is indeed the daughter of Yin Yue the witch.
I feel like there seems to be a huge barrier to understanding between us.
Can you tell me if you are the elves who left the Elf Empire?"
The elves looked at the Seven Pigeons, and no one answered, obviously hesitant.
Qi Ge took a deep breath and said:
"Even if you don't answer, you've already been exposed the moment you called out Yin Yue Wu Zhu.
I'm just confirming with you guys.
I have many doubts, and I can see that you have many doubts too.
I believe that honest communication is the best way to resolve doubts.
If you can trust me a little more, I will definitely find a way to help you."
The elves looked at each other, and finally, the oldest-looking wood elf stood up:
"Yes, we are indeed from the Elf Empire."
Qi Ge then asked:
"When did you leave the Elven Empire? Has the statue of the guardian of the mind been built? Or in other words, is the statue of the guardian of the mind still there?"
"this……"
The elf hesitated for a moment, and finally answered:
"When we left, the patronus statue was gone."
That was at the end of the third Chaos invasion, before the Sea God and the Sun God were deified, and the Elven Subcontinent was about to fall.
They set out from the Elven Subcontinent to the Chaos Sea to carry out a mission...
The timing also matched, and the probability that they were members of the Mithril Fleet increased greatly.
Qi Ge quickly analyzed the time node, took a deep breath, and asked the most critical question:
"How long have you been away from the Elf Empire? Or, how long have you been in the Chaos Sea?"
The wood elf answered without any hesitation:
“Sixty-three years.
I remember it clearly.”
Seven Pigeons: ! !
Elena: !!
Qi Ge and Elena shouted at the same time:
"Sixty-three years?!"
"How is that possible?"
Qi Ge finally found the source of his sense of disharmony.
He said to the elves seriously:
“You may not believe it, but the Elf Empire was destroyed long ago.
It has been nearly two hundred years now.”
"What?"
"The empire fell?"
"Two hundred years..."
The elves were shocked, their pupils widened, and they looked at a loss.
Elena held her hand to her heart and said seriously:
“What Qi Ge said was true, he didn’t lie to you.
The Elf Empire was destroyed long ago.
Even my mother has been dead for 69 years.”
"No, that's impossible."
An elf took a step back and said in shock:
“It only took us three years from entering the Chaos Sea to leaving the Emerald Islands.
He was trapped on the immortal wood for the next sixty years.
Although there is no clear day and night in the chaotic sea, we have been keeping track of time.
How could there be such a big difference?"
While the elves were in chaos, Qi Ge took the opportunity to ask:
“According to records, after the Elven Empire’s Guardian Statue of the Soul was shattered, a Mithril Fleet was dispatched to the Chaos Sea to search for the fragments of the Guardian Statue of the Soul.
The leading flagship is called Silver Spirit.
Are you part of that fleet?"
"you!!"
The elves suddenly became very sensitive and looked at Qi Ge with unfriendly eyes.
There were a few elves who were more impatient and even took out their weapons.
"This is a top secret of our Elven Empire. How did you know about it?"
In Qi Ge's opinion, this reaction was almost equivalent to confessing one's guilt.
"Top secret..."
Qi Ge shook his head gently and said softly:
"terribly sorry.
Time changes everything.
All secrets have a time limit.
I have said that nearly two hundred years have passed. Although what you consider to be top secret may not be known to everyone now, there are definitely quite a few people who know about it.
For you, you may have been tasked with the secret of retrieving your spiritual guardian angel.
But for other elves living in the world of Yasa, this is just a past event written in history books.
You want to retrieve the Guardian Statue of the Soul in order to keep the crumbling Elf Empire afloat.
But the Elf Empire has perished."
"It has perished..."
Qi Ge's last words made the elves' expressions become dazed.
Their faces were filled with mixed emotions, as if a soy sauce shop had opened.
There are doubts, fears, disappointments, frustrations, and confusions...
Qi Ge felt that if Qin Shihuang traveled back to the present, his expression would probably be similar to theirs.
They are the warriors who were left behind by the ship of history and are left alone to guard the ice floes.
They are completely ignorant of all the changes that have taken place in the world.
They just keep faithfully fulfilling their mission, even though this mission seems to have no meaning anymore.
Qi Ge did not continue speaking, but gave the elves some buffer time.
As determined warriors, the elves quickly came to their senses.
They said goodbye to Qige, found a place to discuss things with each other for a while, and then returned to Qige.
An elf jumped out of the crowd and said solemnly to Qi Ge and Elena:
“My two compatriots, it’s not that we don’t trust you.
It's just our duty. We .
When we return to the Yasa world, we will look for our former tribe.
If the facts are as you said, we will come back and answer your questions. "
Qi Ge looked at the other party deeply and said:
“The place where the elves gather now is called Avili, and it is jointly managed by the Undead Witch Jenny and the little Princess Malodiya and others.
My domain is high above the sea, far away from Avili.
How are you going to get through if you don't have a warship?"
"this……"
The elf hesitated for a moment and said:
"Thank you for your concern. We will find a way ourselves when the time comes."
Qi Ge pretended to think for a moment and said:
"How about this? I have a few warships from the Elf Empire here, and I can lend you one to take back.
How about you return it to me after you have dealt with your business there?"
The elf showed joy:
"Of course! If you are really willing to lend us the warship, we will definitely give you a corresponding reward."
Roar
You can also drive an elf battleship.
Everyone can drive magic battleships, that’s so cool.
Not every person in the Elf Empire can drive a magic warship.
Chang Wei, you still say you don’t know martial arts?
Qi Ge was certain that 99.9% of these elves were members of the Mithril Fleet.
Then we can't let them go back.
But how can we pry something out of the mouths of these stubborn elves?
Neither coercion nor inducement will work.
Given the temperament of the elves, even if they were all tied up and tortured day and night, they would still say what they refused to say.
There is absolutely no chance of success in buying people off with gold coins, resources, etc.
They are a group of guys who don't give in to any persuasion.
Fortunately, elves are easier to deceive.
Qi Ge did not pursue relentlessly. After achieving initial results, he took Elena away.
Qi Ge could see that the elves seemed to want to trust Elena more than themselves.
They seemed to be hesitant to speak several times, as if they wished they could keep Elena.
But Qi Ge remained unmoved and pretended not to notice.
After returning to the Silver Spirit, Qi Ge tapped his forehead and said to Elena:
"Honey, I have a favor to ask of you."
…
…
After a while, Lana was ready to teleport.
Qi Ge invited all the residents of the Immortal Wood to board the Silver Spirit on the grounds that there might be danger during teleportation.
He carefully observed the reactions of the elves and found that, apart from being amazed at the luxury and grandeur of the Silver Spirit, the elves did not make any connection between the current Silver Spirit and the original flagship.
It is obvious that the Silver Spirit, which has experienced three awakenings, is very different from the previous Silver Spirit in terms of size, model and appearance.
To the extent that the elves of the Mithril Fleet did not even realize that the Silver Spirit was once their flagship.
This made Qi Ge feel a little relieved.
This means that as long as Qi Ge can keep the name of the Silver Spirit secret, even Princess Malaudia and Jenny may not be able to recognize the Silver Spirit.
Soon, Lana informed Qi Ge that everything was ready.
"Let's go home together."
Qi Ge rubbed Lana's head, and Lana nodded with a smile.
“Home!”
In an instant, the huge immortal tree gradually disappeared in the void and began to leave the chaotic sea.
Countless ghost butterflies rioted, trying to rush over to stop the Immortal Wood's teleportation.
But the clear sea water formed a barrier, keeping all the ghost butterflies outside the barrier.
The ghost discs that tried to break through by force were wrapped by the sea water and stuck in the sea water, making it difficult for them to even flap their wings.
The light of the Poseidon statue flashed, the channel of divine power opened, and the Immortal Wood completely disappeared in the chaotic sea.
Chaos raged more and more violently, like a child whose lollipop was taken away.
Furious, but impotent.
[System prompt: You have left the Chaos Sea. ]
[System prompt: You have arrived at the God's Chosen City]
[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for successfully obtaining the natural wonder: Immortal Wood. ]
[System prompt: Your miracle building, the Paving Forest, has been automatically upgraded to the mythical building, the Immortal Forest.]
[System prompt: A total of 46,000 harpies admire you and want to join your God-chosen City. Do you agree? ]
… …
Amid the system prompts, Qi Ge slowly opened his eyes.
The exclamations of a large group of centaurs who were cutting down timber resources reached the ears of the Seven Doves.
Qi Ge laughed happily.
He walked to the bow of the Silver Spirit and announced loudly:
"People of God's Chosen City! Your lord is back!"
