A strange world

Chapter 1113 Section 35. The Green City

Where there is growth, there is withering.

Where there are mountains, there are abysses.

Where there is training... there are tests.

Feeling his body full of strength and his head full of confidence, Annan held the "children's bow" and walked out of the training hut.

He saw two elves standing in the open space. Annan nodded to them, then looked around suspiciously, always feeling that the forest was particularly lively today... Was it an illusion?

"Still shooting?" Annan asked.

"No."

Aliana looked at an elf, who stood about 25 meters away with an apple and raised the apple.

"Hit it, and you will pass the first level."

Annan refused: "You are willing to take the lives of your compatriots as your own, but I am not."

"They are just phantoms."

Phantom?

Annan sensed it and did not feel any mixed emotions from the male elves.

"That's easy."

He set up the prison with confidence and drew the bow. The green children's bow was almost fully drawn by him.

Annan held his breath, closed one eye, and after a few seconds, he released his fingers.

Swish——

The arrow turned into a residual image and firmly nailed on the target in the distance.

Outside the training ground, some whispers appeared faintly:

"It seems that it is not him..."

"Who else is it?"

"Is there a traitor..."

"Maybe he is pretending..."

Snap——

The apple fell and rolled several times. The elf with an arrow in the forehead leaned back with eyes wide open.

"How is it?"

Watching the elf burst like a bubble, Annan asked Ariana for credit.

"What did you shoot?" Ariana had no expression on her face.

"The enemy's vital point! Otherwise, would I shoot apples in battle?" Annan said confidently.

Ariana stared at Annan for a few seconds and nodded: "...You have passed the basic archery test, and the next step is the actual combat test."

As soon as the voice fell, a summoning array appeared in the training ground.

The steel parts wrapped with vines were scattered in the open space, and then they were like being swept up by a hurricane, and pieced together into a tall shape.

"This is the Supreme Golem, defeat it."

Annan raised his head following the golem that was getting taller and taller, and activated the amulet without thinking: "Help me, Mr. Skeleton King!"

The Skeleton King, who was visiting the royal court, was slightly stunned, and sent an apology to a certain elf elder who was accompanying him, and did not resist the magic circle that appeared under his feet.

As soon as he appeared beside Annan, Annan hid behind him. The Skeleton King looked at the golem that had just climbed up and waved his magic wand.

The magic beam shot out fell on the Supreme Golem that had just been assembled, turning it into a pile of scattered parts again.

Aliana looked at the Skeleton King, and then at the disintegrating Supreme Golem.

Annan walked out from behind the Skeleton King: "What's the difference between letting warlocks fight without spells and letting elves throw away bows and arrows and fight orcs in close combat?

The Skeleton King raised his head, and the elves hiding around him appeared one after another to show their respect for him.

Annan looked around in surprise, it turned out to be so lively...

"You passed."

There was a long silence. Ariana broke the silence.

In Annan's reluctant eyes, the magic circle reappeared and collected the disintegrated Supreme Golem.

I wonder if I can take it in the name of "trophies"...

The "watching" elves retreated.

"Follow me." Ariana said, walking in front.

The Skeleton King and the freed Annan followed her out.

"Thank you, Instructor Anna, for your guidance. "

Annan's flattery was not responded to. He didn't care, and even asked the Skeleton King which messengers had come.

"Humans, orcs, dwarves, dragons, undead, ratmen, sea people, many messengers have appeared in Green City."

Annan glanced at the back of Aliana in front of him and asked, "Do you notice anything wrong?"

The soul fire in the Skeleton King's eyes flickered, as if looking at Annan: "I didn't attend the previous celebration... But I think your feeling is right. This time, the Elf King's Court invited many guests who shouldn't be on the list. "

"I reminded them, and they confidently said that it was nothing. Maybe this is the confidence given to them by 40,000 years of history?"

I don't know if Aliana stopped because she was fed up with Annan's slander.

"We're here. "

Annan looked forward and saw an ordinary forest in front of him. He looked up and saw the tall treetops were impenetrable.

Before Annan could ask what she meant, Ariana suddenly took a step forward, as if she had passed through some kind of barrier and disappeared in the ripples in the air.

Annan and the Skeleton King followed through the ripples like the surface of the water. After a moment of change, a gentle breeze brushed across their cheeks.

He opened his eyes and was stunned like everyone who saw this place for the first time.

Ariana stood in front of a nearby cape, looking at the vast core area of ​​the Elf King's Court in front of her, and said with a touch of pride and pride:

"Welcome to the Green City, Evanas. "

In front of me is a vast basin gently embraced by mountains, like a dazzling emerald inlaid in the earth. The grass on the outer slopes is rippled by the wind. The forest in the distance rustles, and the tall trees with lush branches and leaves are like living towers, flashing with light. The suspension bridges and platforms formed by vines, branches and thick branches connect each tree, forming a three-dimensional forest city.

The clear stream meanders between the city-states, and there are exquisite wooden and stone buildings and towers hidden in the gaps between the lush trees.

The sun turns into spots of light and sprinkles on this green city-state. The golden light and the emerald vegetation complement each other, forming a symphony of light and shadow.

But such a beautiful city-state that can be called a miracle is eclipsed by an existence-

In the center of the basin, the World Tree stands there.

The scale seems to have lost its meaning in front of it. How many kilometers is it? Or tens of thousands of meters? Annan only knows that the World Tree is rooted in the earth, and the canopy covers the entire emerald city and the basin, as if touching the starry sky. The branches that cover the sky and the sun make the legend feel insignificant.

"I have to take back some of my previous words..." Annan said to himself, "As long as the World Tree is still there, the elves have the capital to look down on all races..."

What force can destroy it? Let the ratmen gnaw it for 10,000 years.

He couldn't help but wonder, if the elves had never hidden the World Tree, would he be able to see the faint crown of the World Tree in Middle-earth?

Annan even felt a little ashamed of himself... He had previously thought that the alliance between Free City and the Elven Court was at most a sign of his ambition, and that if he was given a few more decades to develop, it was still unclear who would be the boss. Now he knew that he was so wrong...

He was just like an ant holding the most precious cricket leg he had collected and preparing to marry an ancient dragon...
