Master Sage is still working hard on lesson preparation today

"Hey, I really envy you for having such courage. I can't do it anymore. As long as I leave the elves, I feel that it will be difficult to support myself."

Adele touched her head, feeling that the gap between herself and Yilin was too great.

"You should really go outside and have a look. The endless sea is not comparable to the lake here."

Yilin explained some of her experience in the outside world over the years, only in this way can she quickly get over the pain of losing her family.

And coming back here will remind her of those sad past events.

After the two walked for a while, they finally walked out of the territory of the water elves, and came to the center of the elf forest where the elf royal family and the elf tree were located.

Mia and Haiyi followed Yilin and the others in the invisible space. When a magic barrier appeared in front of them, Mia hesitated, but she still walked in.

Fortunately, this barrier was only used as a cover. When they walked in, they really saw the core building of the elves.

Countless towering trees appeared in front of Mia, and the tallest tree was still exuding dazzling seven-color light. The top of the tree had broken through the clouds, and there were many magic circles around it. .

Is this what the elf tree really looks like?

Mia was completely shocked by the sight in front of her. Every giant tree turned out to be a tall residential area.

I don't know how many years old these giant trees are, and they were transformed into suitable places for living by the elves.

At the same time, when Mia's eyes converged on the elf tree again, she felt that the elf tree seemed to convey a sad mood.

"Why do I feel this message?"

Mia frowned, and continued to follow behind Yilin with Haiyi.

What happened to the elf tree?

……

24. Negative side of the world

As Yilin and the others got closer to the elf tree, there were more and more guards around them. There were rangers holding magic bows and arrows, and magicians standing at the end of the magic circle. They were all hidden in this giant forest. Always be on guard against the enemy's invasion.

"How do you feel that the number of guards has increased a lot recently, giving me a feeling that the enemy is at present?"

Adela looked at the guards around with some fear, but she didn't know what happened.

"Maybe we'll find out when we get to the High Priest."

Of course, Yilin didn't expect to get the information she wanted from the high priest, the key still depended on whether Mia and Haiyi could succeed.

"Stop! Now the elf tree does not allow anyone without permission to enter!"

When Erin and Adela were about to enter the protection range of the Elven Tree, they were stopped by the guards.

Yilin said with a gloomy face.

"We are here to find the high priest, is the high priest free now?"

The guard felt a little puzzled, so he asked again.

"Did you come back recently? Both the high priest and the great elder are in retreat, and no one has been seen during this time!"

Yilin sneered, and probably had a guess in her heart.

Are you really retreating?It should be a headache because of the problem of the elf tree, right?

"I have something very important to see the high priest. If you don't mind, please bring this to her. I think she will see me later."

Yilin took out a blue badge from her bosom, on which there was only this ordinary-looking blue water drop, with a few ripples underneath.

"This is a badge?" The guard obviously didn't understand what it was.

But the guards also knew that the high priest was not really retreating, but was discussing important matters related to the elves with the great elder.

"Please hand it over to the high priest for me, she will know who I am." Yilin asked calmly.

"Why do you think I will help you?" The guard was a little displeased. Which of the elves who can guard here has not been carefully selected?

Why should they listen to someone who has just returned to the clan and has no idea what his identity is?

"Just because I'm stronger than you? Is that enough?" Yilin's calm face seemed to be roaring like waves, and the surrounding air became as viscous as liquid, making the guard a little breathless.

But soon the defensive magic circle here was triggered, offsetting the coercion released by Yilin.

Yilin curled her lips, a little displeased.

"Now the juniors are so confident, they don't have the slightest courtesy to the seniors."

Yilin's aura made the guards in front of them a little unsteady.

Finally, a moaning sound appeared around them.

"Okay, don't embarrass your juniors, right? I didn't expect that you, a 'big man' who hasn't come back all the year round, would know that you are back."

The guards knew it was the high priest's voice as soon as they heard it, and their faces became ugly.

Yilin even knew the high priest, and from the meaning of this sentence, the relationship between the two is not bad?

"Let them in. The rest is none of your business."

After giving this order, the voice also disappeared.

Yilin took back her badge from the Mage Association from the guards, which was proof that she was one of the Four Great Scourge Mages in her prime.

"You must at least learn to respect your seniors. If it's still our time, your butt will be swollen~"

After Yilin made a grimace, she went in with Adele who was holding back her laughter.

Without anyone's guidance, Yilin quickly found the way to the priest's residence by relying on her past memories.

"Weird, why does it feel like we've been walking the same path over and over again?"

Yilin stayed for a while, and she felt that someone was deliberately messing with her.

In the end, Yilin used her magic power to break through the maze magic set here, and the exit appeared.

"This kind of little trick is most likely to deceive the children of today, right?"

The two finally came to the top of a giant log, where there was a very simple cabin.

Pushing open the door, I saw a mature woman with green hair wearing a laurel wreath and a white sacrificial robe, beside her was a mature female elf of the same age as her.

The dark purple hair covered one of her eyes, and she didn't care about the purple robe resting on the ground, but looked at Yilin with an interested expression while propping her chin.

"Yo~ here you go. Thought you'd take a little longer."

The green-haired elf looked at Yilin with a smile. For some reason, Yilin felt a warmth rising in her heart.

But she still looked at the two with some dissatisfaction.

"This little trick of the high priest doesn't work for me. Instead of wasting time on me, it's better to spend more time on some important things."

The green-haired elf pretended to be hurt, and clutched her even and smooth chest.

"I didn't expect to be away for so long, and even the relationship is so strange? Obviously you used to like to call me Aunt Ophelia. Besides, it's not me who teases you, it's the person next to me."

Ophelia Sophie, the high priest of the elves, is also a member of the royal family, and the sister of the current elf queen.

She is also a figure in the current elves whose strength is comparable to that of the Queen. She also masters the magic of seven different elements, as well as some fusion magic.

And the one next to her is the current Great Elder, Agnes Leopold, who was also the Patriarch who used to manage the dark elves. Since the dark elves launched the front desk of the elves, she has also become the elder Great Elder.

"I just want to see how much the little guy has improved after being away for so long."

Agnes watched Erin coming in and Adela behind her with the corners of her uncovered eyes.

"Hello, Great Elder, and the High Priest."

Adele was a little excited, and bowed to say hello after meeting directly.

"Ha, I brought an interesting little guy." Ophelia walked up to Yilin and looked at Yilin carefully.

"Well... After staying outside for so long, I have indeed been contaminated with a lot of worldly atmosphere. The breath of water has faded."

Yilin knew what Ophelia meant, and she didn't refute it. She didn't come here to catch up with Ophelia.

But just as Yilin was about to speak, Ophelia pressed her finger against her lips.

"I know the question you want to ask. After all, even the famous 'Water of Natural Disaster' on the mainland is also the director of the academic affairs office of Atla Academy. It seems that you are aware of something. Even if you don't convey the message of the Hui people."

Ophelia turned and went back to her chair.

"Then, can the High Priest give me an answer?"

Yilin and Adela were still standing where they were. The two in front of them were older than the two of them, so naturally they didn't dare to sit down casually.

"Sit down and talk again. First, you have to answer a question for me."

Ophelia obviously looks like a mature woman, but her acting style is still as lively as that of an adult girl.

Erin and Adele sat on the small stools in the room.

"Please ask."

"There were rumors before that a clansman brought back his original elf. I want to know if that clansman is you."

Yilin hesitated for a while, but she also knew that she couldn't hide this matter, so she directly admitted it.

"it's me."

"Actually, I was the first one to guess that you were little Yilin. After all, you are the most prestigious No. [-] Academy in the mainland. There is still a powerful mysterious existence there. It must be the original elf who can save you." ?”

Ophelia expressed her guess, but did not continue.

Agnes, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.

"If possible, can you tell me how it was done? Our current situation... You should be able to guess it. If this continues, it will be a matter of time before it is exposed."

Yilin's eyes suddenly became sharp.

It seems that there is a big problem with the elf tree, and even the two big figures in the elf clan who have the status second only to the elf queen are troubled by this matter.

On the other side, Mia and Haiyi were walking swaggeringly on the road leading to the elf tree.

No matter how many guards there were, they didn't find them.

"Miss Mia! Is this really space magic? You can still escape the detection of so many surrounding magic circles, it's amazing!"

Haiyi looked at Mia adoringly. Although she didn't understand space magic, she also knew that the space element was a unique element independent of the seven elements, and it was not an ordinary difficulty to master it.

"It can be regarded as space magic..." It is impossible to say that this is space power, right?

The closer Mia got to the elf tree, she felt an inexplicable voice calling her.

"Hai Yi, did you hear any strange noises?"

"Is there? Why didn't I hear anything?" Haiyi didn't hear any strange sounds at all, which might be the reason why she lost contact with the elf tree.

Mia touched her head, feeling her voice getting louder.

"Could it be that the elf tree is asking me for help?"

Mia began to speed up, she always felt that the elf tree wanted to convey some information to her.

"Huh~huh~" After trotting continuously, Mia finally came to this unattended elf tree.

Probably because there are already many guards on the way leading here, there is no one here.

There is a magic circle of seven elements around the elf tree, and the magic circle seems to be continuously instilling energy into the elf tree.

What exactly is going on?

Looking at the elf tree that has broken through the clouds, there are actually seven magic circles transmitting energy to it.

Mia slowly approached the Elf Tree, and she tried to put her hand on the Elf Tree, carefully feeling the message that the Elf Tree wanted to convey to her.

Close your eyes and feel silently.

In Mia's perception, she only felt that the originally abundant seven elements were flowing unstoppably, and they seemed to be suppressing something, preventing the suppressed thing from rushing out.

Mia continued to expand her perception, and finally she felt an inexplicable strong sense of oppression.

In Haiyi's line of sight, cold sweat had already appeared on Mia's forehead at this moment, and her face was also ugly.

Even the invisibility space was lifted.

At that moment, Mia felt as if she was fighting against the whole world, and countless malice and resentment roared.

Finally, Mia slowly lowered her hand from the elf tree, and began to pant heavily.

What the hell are those things?Obviously can't feel the breath of the abyss, but it is more terrifying than the abyss?
