On the Seven Towers

When Xiao Chen and Di Ning left Maya's magic shop, Maya simply closed the shop and followed them. Knowing that Xiao Chen was going to live in Di Ning's house, she said that she would also live there in order to study Xiao Chen's mobile phone. Di Ning thought this was a good trend and agreed.

After cleaning herself with magic, Maya's image changed drastically. After she untied her scarf, she showed her short hair. She did not wear a wizard robe or an elf long skirt, but an elf swordsman's suit, which made her look very energetic.

As it was late, Di Ning took Xiao Chen and Maya back to his home.

The dinner at Di Ning's house was taken care of by his two disciples. Although they were low-level wizards, their cooking skills were quite good according to the standards of the elves.

They prepared a big meal in the local style, with various fresh fruits and vegetables, which were combined into various cakes, rolls and platters. The meat was a wild rabbit and beef. The elves advocated original ecological food. The rabbit meat was cut into shreds and mixed with wild vegetables, and the beef was cut into small pieces to make it look like beef tartare.

The dishes were presented delicately, with a sense of sculpture, and there was a special cooking magic that made the dishes shine and more gorgeous. But the taste was too bland. Xiao Chen would rather go to the human nobles' house to eat barbecue anyway.

After dinner, the two elves continued to study their phones, while Xiao Chen began to read Di Ning's collection of books while waiting for Elena to come back.

However, it was already midnight when she appeared. After Elena found her teacher to understand the situation, her face seemed to be more worried.

Elena did not avoid Di Ning and Maya, but asked everyone to sit down and said: "The situation is very troublesome. The world tree is withering. And the withering speed is getting faster and faster."

Di Ning obviously knew this situation, and his expression did not change. But Maya's expression changed drastically, "How could this happen? I have no idea. No wonder I had a vague feeling that something was wrong with the surrounding environment. I thought it was just because I was too tired from doing experiments. This is a big problem that has never happened before. What are the elders going to do?"

Elena said: "The teachers didn't know the specific reason at first. After checking every part of the world tree on the ground, they determined that the cause of withering was in the roots, so they handed the task of finding the underground problem to the dark elves."

"What are dark elves?" Xiao Chen had never heard of this race in this world. According to the settings in many previous games, dark elves are the mortal enemies of high elves.

Di Ning said: "The dark elves are a branch of the high elves. A long time ago, there appeared a root-eating worm that devoured the roots of the world tree. The dark elves are the elves who voluntarily went underground to clean and protect the roots of the world tree. It took them hundreds of years to completely eliminate the root-eating worms. Later, they got used to life in the underground tunnels and stayed to become the guardians of the world tree. Over thousands of years, affected by the energy emitted by the roots of the world tree, their appearance has changed, gradually becoming dark skin and white hair. "

Elena continued: "Because the roots of the world tree are much larger than the crown, the dark elves have been digging and exploring tunnels underground for the past few months, looking for suspicious targets. Until two weeks ago, they found a huge hole more than 1,500 meters underground. The hole was filled with white mist, and it was unclear what was inside."

"Did they go to explore?" Maya asked.

"Of course! But the result was not good. At that time, a dark elf saint and three masters went to explore together. But once they entered the cave, the energy and mental strength in their bodies began to lose madly. The stronger they were, the faster they lost. The first to fall was the saint, and then the three masters. In the end, only the weakest great swordsman escaped. When he organized some low-level warriors to form a death squad and found the saint and the two masters, they had all turned into mummies." Elena's tone was very calm, but what she said was very scary.

"A saint died silently like this?" Maya covered her mouth and looked at her in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Then, two of the five elders entered the fog again with protective artifacts. However, they only entered a little bit before the same thing happened to the dark elf saint. The two artifacts left by the God of Nature not only failed to provide any protection, but also lost all their power and turned into iron blocks without magic. Fortunately, the two saints were prepared and retreated in time, but they also suffered great damage. Among the elves who entered at the same time, only those below the master level were not greatly affected." Elena said, "But even so, they were still affected in another way: they were intimidated by something in the fog for no reason. I was convinced, and naturally I felt like obeying a certain will. "

Di Ning added: "I also participated in the research. I proposed at the time that there was a powerful object in the mist that could absorb energy. I think it was at least a divine weapon. It would absorb the energy of the Tree of Life and the power of the strong who approached it. "

"It's useless to just guess. No matter what it is, we must go inside to see it." Elena said, "The elders are going to organize a team of high-level warriors, mages, and priests to find out. This team must be composed of elves and non-elves, so they need to find a few reliable alien warriors. "

Xiao Chen now finally understood why Dining said this was his chance at first: "In this way, I really came to the right place this time. I can also provide a ready-made high-level warrior. Roger is in the small village on the border." Stay in town. If you take him over, this adventure will be more secure."

Elena looked hesitant and said softly, "I mentioned your situation and the world tree sap to the teacher. Unexpectedly, she agreed without hesitation. This made me very worried. She Being willing to pay such a price shows that this is a very, very dangerous thing, and I think you really need to think about it. "

When Xiao Chen was about to answer, Elena stretched out her hand to stop him and said again: "I want to get the sap of the World Tree for Luo Ling no less than you do. But if it takes your life in exchange, I will definitely Wouldn't want to."

"Elena, will everyone here go?" Xiao Chen asked.

Elena looked at Dinin and Maya, with unspeakable emotions brewing in her eyes: "Yes. The elders do think so. The three of us are the best among high-level people. Dinin is good at fighting, and I am good at healing. Maya is very good with all kinds of machine door locks.”

"That's good, not only for Luo Ling. But also for me not to regret, for you to be safer, for Dinin to have the opportunity to marry a human beauty, for the sake of bringing Maya back to Montenegro, aren't all these reasons enough? ?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
