The legendary path of the abandoned half-elf

Seeing Aya coming over, the construct girl walked out of the river. The incomplete clothes on her body were slowly recovering. Aya took out the good clothes and put them on Vita, and then put her hands on the incomplete parts of her body.

1 ring [Touch of Life].

Lorenno's palm lit up, and he poured life force into the flesh and blood of the constructed girl. The parts that recovered slowly recovered quickly, and the missing flesh and blood grew back. When the neck no longer changed, Lorenno asked: " How's your recovery going?"

Vita opened her mouth to try her newly grown vocal cords, and her voice was slightly hoarse: "Ah...ah...ok, it's no problem."

Taking advantage of the rest, Lorenno hugged Vita in the tent and asked her about her journey along the way. Vita took out the trial wooden sign. Like Lorenno, she had also completed two trials.

The first test of the constructed girl is the test of the giant tree of wisdom. Different from the test faced by the half-elf, the test proposed by the giant tree of wisdom in Vita is to answer questions.

The giant tree of wisdom asked each tester 100 questions, involving various issues such as mathematics, language, spells, astrology, etc., and each person's 100 questions were not the same. Lorenno heard that they were better than each other anyway. The giant tree of wisdom over her side is even wiser.

The second test was provided by a woodpecker. The testers were taken to the cave at the root of an ancient tree. They needed to clear out a sufficient number of termites in the cave under the ancient tree within the specified time.

Woodpeckers are not ordinary woodpeckers, and termites are naturally not ordinary termites. They seem to have some blood from the alien tribe [Fumiant Tribe].

As for Vita's third trial, it was naturally the same as Lorenno's. It also went to the forest with claws, otherwise the two would not have met.

……

Early the next morning, Lorenno woke up holding the petite doll. Vita waited for her to let go of him and picked up the clothes hanging outside. The torn parts of the clothes had been restored.

After Vita got dressed, the two of them headed to the nearby dark forest.

Stepping into the obviously darker forest, Aya's perception appeared that a large number of creatures gathered together. Looking around, she found that the native creatures were confronting each other, with elves on one side and humans on the other.

In addition to the creatures in this plane, there are also many trialists beside the two groups of forest personnel.

[I thought there were only fey plants and animals in this demiplane, but I didn’t expect there were humans and elves. 】

Aya nodded and said: "It's normal. The creators of all created demiplanes hope that they will develop into the normal world. Mages can form a normal cycle of demiplanes, and gods can join various intelligent creature races. It’s also a very simple thing.”

Wherever there is a group of intelligent creatures, there will be disputes. Both sides were talking indignantly, barely restraining their desire to take action. When Aya was curious about what happened and how to complete this trial, the two people stepped into the minds of the dark forest. There was a dull sound in the center.

It sounds...kind of like some kind of storytelling.

【Watch carefully--

The elves and humans in the Dark Forest used to be very good neighbors. Each of them thrived in its own territory without any impact on the other. Sometimes they would go hunting together with each other.

But I don't know when their relationship began to change. Small frictions gradually expanded into huge conflicts, and the anger between the two parties was ignited by something.

Year after year, the friction between the two sides continued to intensify, and finally nothing was left. Everything, including the forest, fell into destruction. The current dark forest was also reborn after destruction.

I witnessed all this with my own eyes. The long years were very boring. Therefore, I recreated everything in the past, hoping that the trialists could find out the reasons for all this to happen and constantly change the final outcome.

Trialists are constantly circling among them, some are fanning the flames, some are helping one party, and some want the two sides to reconcile as before.

You can complete the trial as a "igniter" by intensifying the conflict between the two groups and causing them to fall into destruction faster, or as a "helper" to help one of the groups win.

Of course, you can also choose the most difficult path and become a "mediator" to save the two groups.

Trialist, please choose, choose what you should do, and the forest itself will see what you do. 】

After the voice in her head ended, Aya lowered her head and looked at the land. The rich voice and the attitude of watching the show made it easy for her to guess who the owner of the voice was after seeing certain creatures before -

I'm afraid it's an earth djinn. Creatures like djinn, especially wind djinn, like to watch the lives and adventures of intelligent races. For them, it's like watching TV series, even the earth djinn who often sleeps are the same.

What's more important is that Aya can use her spiritual power to sense that the sound is coming to them from below the soil. However, her spiritual perception cannot detect the vitality of the giant spirit. The earth giant spirit should be sleeping deeper.

However, is everything happening in front of you a reflection of the past...

Aya looked at the two sides about to fight and asked Vita: "What identity do you think we should choose?"

Vita blinked and analyzed, and through the message, he could analyze that they had four choices, [igniter], [helper] who was on the side of elves or humans, and [mediator] who had the most difficult task.

Judging from the current situation displayed by both sides, it can be seen that the two sides are already in a state of incompatibility, and a fight is about to begin. The igniter must be easy, but as a neutral and kind god, Mielikki definitely does not want the two groups and the forest to fall into destruction.

The possibility of receiving a blessing after the trial is completed will definitely drop significantly.

The helpers were decent, at least they prevented the destruction of the forest, allowed one of them to survive, and at least completed part of the mission.

If the most difficult [Mediator] succeeds, it will definitely impress the earth giants and Mielikki, but if it is really that simple, even the earth giants will not say it is difficult.

Once friction occurs, it is difficult for individual intelligent creatures or even the entire group to extinguish it.

Unless one of the parties is destroyed or obstructed by external factors, the two parties will definitely not reach a reconciliation, even if it is difficult to reconcile on the surface.

Chapter 710

The igniters are eliminated first. With the strength of Vita and Aya, they are likely to win the final victory if they choose one side. In this way, the simplest igniters are not suitable for them.

As for the remaining three routes, which one should she choose?

Aiya thought about it and decided to go and see the situation first. After all, she didn't even know what happened between the two parties, so it wouldn't be good to mediate.

When hesitating, both parties suppressed their anger and returned to the camp. Aya withdrew her psychic perception and prepared to go to the elf camp first. Following the large group of elves, she easily found the place where the elves live. The place.

It was a huge oak tree, and the elves had built wooden houses under the tree or at the junction of the branches and trunks. Most of the testers coming and going were non-human races, but there were also humans, and they were not despised, just few.

After confirming that there was no big danger, Aya walked towards the elf camp from a distance. The extremely beautiful appearance appeared in the elf camp, which made the elves look sideways. There were also many people responsible for protecting the camp and human spies who secretly spied her appearance.

After walking around casually, Aya found that this is a very nice place, relying on trees to eat trees and water to drink water. At least humans and elves do not need to compete for supplies, so the two sides may be eliminated due to friction over resources.

Facing these trialists, the aborigines were obviously not too timid. Aiya asked a girl and easily found out the reason. It turned out that the arrival of these trialists was also informed by the earth giant spirit. two ethnic groups.

They may be dissatisfied in their hearts, but they naturally welcome helpers on the surface. After all, if they resist these helpers, they will be overpowered by the opposite party. However, they are on guard against helpers in all aspects. After all, no one knows whether these helpers may be mixed with spies from the opposite party. .

Because of her elf status, Aya easily integrated into this society. People here all agreed that Aya, as an elf, would not be a spy there.

After taking Vita in a circle for a while, she turned around and left the elf camp in the direction of humans without going to investigate the situation in depth.

……

Crossing a large river that crosses the dark forest, Aya changed into Lorenno's appearance on the way, and Vita turned into a human. The two approached the human camp and were stopped without entering it.

"Excuse me, who are the two...?"

The serious guard looked into Aya's ears, realized that she was a half-elf, and asked with some vigilance.

"We are trialists. We don't know who we want to help at the moment. We hope to enter the camp to see the situation on the human side."

Aya said indifferently. After hearing her answer, the guard looked slightly moved and nodded: "Please wait a moment, I will bring someone to visit the human camp with you."

There are also half-elves among the two groups in the Dark Forest, and they are usually bullied. However, the testers are different. Being half-elves means that both humans and elves have the possibility to join. If they are strong, Then you need to win over.

The guard scanned Aya's clothes. She had walked through the forest, but there were no traces on the soles of her shoes or clothes.

Any stain on it was enough to prove a lot of things, so he immediately agreed to let the half-elf in front of him enter the camp.

As the guardian of the clan, he has this power.

Soon, a girl was brought to Aiya. The child with freckles on her face timidly said: "Hello, I am Emily. Where do you want me to take you?"

"My name is Aisha, I just want to hang out."

Speaking of being a child, Aya estimated that this one was older than her. She didn't specify where to go, but just let her take her for a walk.

There are no giant trees in the human camp. Instead, there are mud huts, stone huts or thatched huts. There is also a large field inside the wooden city wall, where some collected wild vegetables are planted.

Seeing this scene, Aya determined that one possibility of conflict between the two parties was the old-fashioned conflict between the forest and social development. However, the group of elves in the forest should not care about this kind of thing. The dryads and treemen went That's right.

After exploring the situation on the human side, Aya asked the girl how they usually viewed the elves. Upon hearing this question, Emily's eyes were full of hatred: "It's all because of them that my father died in Xiaoxiao." In the hands of a bear.”

Owlbear?

Aya became interested: "What did those elves do? Is it something abominable?"

"Ok!"

Emily remembered the past and still burst into tears, telling Aya what she knew.

Her father was an experienced hunter in the tribe before his death and was very respected. Five years ago, the relationship between the elves and humans was not what it is now, but was in a harmonious state.

But with the arrival of one day five years ago, everything changed.

That day, her father, Old Jack, made an appointment with other human hunters to go hunting. They were accompanied by a group of elf hunters, and both parties went to the depths of the dark forest to hunt.

But by the next night, young Emily did not wait for her father to come back. Only a human hunter covered in blood came back. After the human hunter woke up from a coma, he cried to everyone about what happened in the past two days. .

The hunters discovered a cave not long after setting off. When they went in to explore, they found a family of owlbears living inside. These monsters were not something they could contend with, so they had to escape in a hurry.

But where can they escape? The owlbear can run faster than them. Seeing that only one owlbear chases them out, the hunters discussed it and decided to fight back desperately. The elves also agreed with this statement.

However, when the fight actually started, what caught the human hunters off guard was that the elves actually ran away treacherously. This was not a big deal. There were actually elves shooting arrows at them, trying to kill them and let the owlbears use them as food.

In the hasty counterattack, one or two elves died, but he was the only human hunter to escape, and he could only limp around the camp from now on.

Emily's father naturally died in that battle. Because of this failed hunt, the human tribe sent people to the elf tribe to argue. Unexpectedly, they rejected the idea and instead said that humans had betrayed their trust and sold their elves.

There were three or four elves who came back. As a result, the elves said that so many elves came back because of their strength. Such excuses quickly made the human tribe dissatisfied, and the two sides quickly started to turn against each other because of this incident.

……

After hearing the reason in Emily's eyes, Aya didn't make any expression. She agreed with Emily and scolded the elves while asking about the location of the owlbear. Although there were so many trialists, it was estimated that someone had already been there, but she still You can go take a look, after all, you have psychic perception.

Chapter 711 Asking the tree man for questioning

After asking Emily about the location of his father's incident, Aya and Vita left the human camp and headed deep into the forest. They noticed someone was following them but did not pay attention, pretending to know nothing and continued moving forward.

The deeper you go into the forest, the deeper the sense of depression around you will become. This seems to be a natural characteristic of the dark forest. The reason why Aya did not guess that something was up to her is because this sense of depression arises naturally.

The light also began to dim, and the daylight overhead was absorbed by the trees. Aya and Vita soon arrived at the location where Emily said they were attacked.

The dark forest has a relatively huge gap in front of Aiya. A small cliff is formed on the terrain. Just under the cliff is the cave she mentioned.

"There are trampled marks all around, and some people come here basically every day."

Vita looked at the soil and analyzed it. When the elf girl walked into the cave, she saw someone guarding the entrance. The guards noticed that Aya also picked up a weapon and asked her why she came here.

After some conversation, Aya learned that they were also trialists, and the purpose of coming here was the same as hers, to find out how this war started.

When Aiya expressed her intention to come, they did not stop them and let them go directly.

Entering the cave, it was in a very humid state. Many trialists stayed in the cave and searched around. There were three dead owlbears in the center. It seemed that the bodies and the remaining vitality had been dead for a long time.

"Excuse me, why did the owlbear die?" Aya reached out and grabbed a druid and asked.

The druid wanted to get angry, but after seeing Aya's face, his anger immediately dropped and he became kind: "It's possible for the igniter, the elves, and the humans to mediate. After all, you have to know the truth of the matter in order to mediate."

After thanking the druid, Aya came to the corpse

Asked: "Has no one ever used Speak with the Dead on an owlbear?"

Although everything that happened in the Dark Forest and the elves and humans were created by the earth giants using powerful power, these false things are extremely real even from the perspective of the soul.

"Of course it has been used, but the owlbear's soul is gone. After being killed, either the soul will be sent away directly, or it will be temporarily sealed. We prefer the latter."

None of the rangers looked up, obviously troubled by what was happening here. (**

**)

Aya walked around the cave and found that most of the traces here had been destroyed. Many people were still arguing about the existing evidence, and they couldn't even tell whether it was false evidence intentionally left by someone.

I don’t know how much of the things in this cave are real and how much are fake, they are basically useless.

After confirming this matter, the elf girl did not choose to stay. After leaving the cave, she closed her eyes and activated her plant perception, wrapping the nearby forest in and looking for the tree people and elves in a large circle.

Opening her eyes, Aya rushed to the creek on the right side of the cave and gently knocked on a tree hanging by the creek that was almost about to fall down.

The tree moved slightly, and after a long time, its old face appeared. The tree man barely opened his eyes and said, "Ugh - little guy, what do you want to do?"

"Old sir, I would like to know if a group of hunters or elves were chased by owlbears and fled here five years ago."

Seeing that the tree man was about to die, Aya fed it her own vitality. The tree man who was about to die of old age raised his face, and his eyes widened: "Ugh - let me think about it... …”

After a long, long silence, the old tree man said: "Ah... I heard the old Bonnie behind the tree on my right said that he seemed to have seen someone being hunted five years ago. Elf, you can ask him."

"Thank you."

Retracting her palm, Aya went to the other side based on the information provided by the old tree man, and found another sleeping tree man in the entire area. After being woken up by the elf girl, Aya was not as half-dead as before.

Knowing Aya's doubts, the old tree man became more talkative and vividly described the scene he saw.

……

That day, it stayed rooted in place as always, absorbing the nutrients provided by the sun, soil, and water. Many small sparrows sat on its head and told it interesting things that happened in other places.

Although the birds were discussing among themselves, the atmosphere in the forest still seemed peaceful to the tree people.

Just when it thought that today would pass like this again, an accident appeared in front of him. Five elves ran from a distance, with more or less injuries on their bodies, and behind them was a group of monster.

"What monster?"

"Um……"

The tree man pondered for a long time and finally said: "It seems to be the fey deep in the dark forest. I can't remember clearly."
