Emperor of Arcane

Bits of cold wind blew slowly from the other side, blowing down the weeds on the ground and touching everyone's heartstrings.

Compared to Matthew's relaxed and leisurely cooking, the operators were a little nervous.

Even if they didn't take the initiative to explore, everyone could feel that the dense crowd of wood elves were watching from a distance.

This kind of experience of being watched by a strong crowd really made them feel a little at a loss.

Feeling the fresh cool breeze blowing in, Yaya stared curiously at the slowly growing Tree of Life saplings. He turned to Menglan and asked:

"How is the Tree of Life at Penglai Island Naval Base?"

Blinking slightly, Menglan recalled the newborns who had become extra energetic, and nodded happily and replied:

"Yes, just like other little Leviathans, they are very healthy and grow very fast."

Shyvana, who heard this from the side, looked at her nose and heart, pretending not to hear anything.

On the contrary, Farmir on the other side vaguely knew the inside story.

The main reason is that the underground world controlled by the Gulf Territory has also planted tree of life seedlings, and there are more than one.

In the presence of the Tree of Life, even most of the drow showed a considerable degree of respect and affection.

Farmir can naturally understand how close normal creatures are to the Tree of Life.

Especially for these special wood elves right now, even though they may have never seen the Tree of Life, they absolutely cannot refuse its growth and approach.

Matthew's attitude towards the Tree of Life is basically similar to the Bay Territory people's views on the Tree of Life.

It is indeed very rare and precious, and deserves everyone's efforts to care for and cultivate it.

But that's all.

It will not be treated specially. If it is lucky enough to have wisdom, it can successfully join the Gulf Territory and truly become a member of it.

Of course, with the gift and function of the Tree of Life.

They can often accumulate achievements quickly, grow up quickly, and make greater contributions to the development of the Gulf Territory.

The Gulf Territory will also provide a better environment and provide some correct guidance for their growth.

Li, who was recording data next to him, couldn't help but exclaim with joy.

"The intensity of these plants living around the Tree of Life has increased by 12% compared to the morning."

This is a huge improvement!

You must know that plants often change very slowly, and it takes at least hundreds or thousands of years for iterative mutation and evolution.

Even with human intervention, tens or even hundreds of years of hard work are necessary.

Just as the Gulf Territory has used a large amount of resources and various spells and equipment, the development and research of most magical plants is also at the stage of laying a solid foundation.

Li suppressed the joy in his heart and prepared to wait for these plants to complete the final changes before collecting more data and conducting more in-depth research.

The rich aroma of meat came from Jifan on the other side.

Xiao Jixiang, who was following him, was happily spreading seasoning powder, with a cheerful and surprised smile on his fair and tender face.

The laughter spread along with the aroma, and everyone quickly came over and ate a few large skewers to calm down their shock.

Such an "arrogant" behavior naturally made the wood elves in the distance quite unhappy.

When hunting or patrolling, as long as they are watching eagerly from the sidelines, no matter what prey they are, they will feel nervous and stressed.

The guys in front of them were doing well, with their tents set up, bonfires lit, eating delicious food, and enjoying the shade under the tree of life.

Even the dullest wood elf can understand that people like Matthew are really here for them.

With the wood elf's previous temper, regardless of what Matthew and the others' purpose was, they would have killed him long ago.

Even if the racial composition of these people in the Gulf Territory is very complex, they won't care much.

For them, it is their job as patrol officers to solve any danger they encounter and eliminate any hidden dangers.

However, the sight of Yaya and Menglan floating in the air made them suppress their unwanted thoughts.

If everything is different, it means that the opponent's strength is beyond their imagination.

This is the simplest and simplest way to judge strength in this world.

The wood elves could only quickly report the situation here and wait for further instructions from above.

Whether it's an attack, a retreat, or past contact.

They can accept it!

But they just couldn't accept that these guys from the Gulf Territory could be so leisurely.

However, their unhappy situation was quickly broken.

A special team suddenly came to the border.

Not only did they accept the authority to deal with this matter, they also asked them to call for more wood elf patrols to come here.

Just when the wood elf patrol members thought they could finally choose to take action.

Lili, who had a childish face, shook her head at them very seriously. A little panic and fear flashed in her eyes, but she endured a little headache and said:

"They are very dangerous, even to the entire dark forest. They have the ability to destroy our home!"

Can it destroy the dark forest?

Does that mean that the wood elf kingdom that protects the dark forest can be destroyed?

Regarding the judgment of the young prophet, the vast majority of the wood elf patrol members chose to believe it.

Even a small portion of the hesitant wood elf patrol members carefully chose to obey the order.

the reason is simple.

The Wood Elf Prophets and their followers, who wander throughout the Dark Forest and have the only authority to communicate with the outside world, have saved the Dark Forest countless times.

They are one of the most reliable defense lines.

Also one of the most trustworthy management.

The wood elves, who have simple and unpretentious ideas, have their own judgments and ideas.

The management who is unwilling to join the fight but takes the initiative to promote the fight can only believe half of it!

Management that is willing to fight alongside them and try to avoid most battles deserves their respect.

However, when Lili said that these dozens of people could pose a danger to the dark forest, she really shocked them.

No matter what the final result of contacting them is, it will be explained from another side.

These people in the Gulf Territory are not something they can mess with!

Seeing that most of the wood elf patrols had calmed down, they maintained a higher level of vigilance but put down most of their hostility.

The young prophet Lili took a long breath.

Feifei, the owl that landed on her shoulder, patted his chest with his wings in a very anthropomorphic manner and said directly in common language:

"Oh, it's really scary. Fortunately, we arrived in time, otherwise we would have suffered an unreasonable disaster."

Lili, who was also frightened, nodded in agreement.

There was a little bit of fear and worry in her emerald green eyes. Looking at Matthew who was leisurely under Yaya and Menglan, she couldn't help but whisper:

"He is not only wandering in the long river of time, but also wrapped in the mist of fate. Future changes and routes are all in his thoughts."

"How could a big shot of this level appear in a remote place like our Dark Forest?"

The big round eyes blinked hard, and the owl Feifei only dared to look at Matthew secretly.

Even though it didn't use any of its abilities, it still felt pain like a needle pricking a sword.

This was not Matthew's attack on it, but the owl's instinct to survive and was frantically alerting it.

Don't be mean!

Don't have a bad mouth!

Absolutely no hands!

The owl Feifei covered her eyes with her wings, easily turned her head 120 degrees, and whispered in a very thin voice:

"That's a great arcanist. The arcane energy around him is very active and obedient."

"His abilities are extremely outstanding, and he has almost no weaknesses. Time and fate are on his side."

"As long as I dare to show any hostility, both of us will die miserably in the foreseeable future."

Lili, whose face was a little pale, completely suppressed the idea of ​​being hostile to Matthew and forced herself not to use her abilities. Feeling the huge consumption of her soul, she pursed her lips and said:

"Death is only the best ending, let's go and get it right as soon as possible!"

"The other party has already given a choice, it's better for us to be obedient."

After glancing at her gently and confirming that this silly girl had finally let go of her pride as an elf and prophet, the owl Feifei nodded with satisfaction, sniffed the charming fragrance in the air, flapped her wings impatiently and shouted:

"We need 30 warriors who are not afraid of death!"

The vast majority of wood elf patrols are not afraid of death, otherwise they would not participate in the hundreds of years of rotating patrols in the dark forest.

However, only a small number of wood elf patrols are willing to put down all their weapons, go out of their homes that they have not left for generations, and communicate with enemies who are obviously very dangerous.

However, when everyone saw the prophet Lili's thin body and the few three or four guards and followers behind her.

They chose to join and soon gathered 30 warriors.

Under the leadership of the prophet Lili, they slowly walked out of the dark forest.

When they left the cover of tall trees and the familiar coolness, they were illuminated by the sun.

A special warmth and heat made them feel a little uneasy, but also felt a special sense of refreshment.

They endured their physical and mental discomfort and followed Prophet Lili, watching closely for the reactions of the people in the Gulf Territory.

As for the corpses on the ground, none of these wood elf patrol members had any psychological burden.

The other party knows that this place is extremely dangerous, but still insists on attacking their home. This is asking for death.

Walking to a location not far from the people in the Bay Area, the aroma of food in the air became stronger and stronger.

"Gu... Gu... Gu..."

An inappropriate cry suddenly sounded, and the serious-faced owl Feifei turned his head, stared at the pale-faced prophet Lili, and said in a tone of "Why are you so unsatisfactory?"

"Oh, don't you just want to eat?"

"Don't worry so much, just look at me!"

Under the adoring gaze of the wood elf team members, the owl flew up with flapping wings and rushed towards the bay to lead the crowd.

Just when everyone thought that the owl Feifei was going to loudly express the wood elf's thoughts and intentions and expel or drive away the other party.

The owl Feifei, who had high hopes, fell under Yaya's curious eyes. He suddenly looked like he was captured by the delicious food and asked eagerly:

"This delicious food is so delicious. Can you please give me one more? I can pay some compensation."

The prophet Lili, who had thought how the owl Feifei would perform, couldn't help but rolled her eyes.

The other wood elf patrol members felt that the great idol that had just been condensed in their hearts suddenly turned into countless heartbreaking pieces.

Yaya looked curiously at Feifei, the owl who could speak. Feeling that the opponent was not very strong, he said straightforwardly:

"Okay, welcome to taste the delicacies of our Gulf Territory. There is no need for compensation. We would rather receive praise and recognition."

Xiao Menglan next to her was a little surprised and confused by Yaya's sudden seriousness.

"Ya Ya has changed and become a stranger. He is no longer the money-grubbing Ya Ya he was before!"

That's not the case at all!

The teeth haven’t changed at all!

The reason why she suddenly became polite was because she recognized the blue moonstone hanging around Owl Feifei's neck.

That is a piece of energy level, no less than the energy core of the legendary element crystal!

This is a rich owl!

Just a little food can exchange for friendly and peaceful communication, which is definitely a very cost-effective deal.

Yaya specially took out a bunch of deep-fried small fish that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, handed it over happily, and said happily:

"Come and try it, I believe you will like it."

Prophet Lili and the wood elf team members who came slowly behind looked at the owl Feifei speechlessly, whose mouth was filled with dried fish and barbecue.

The key is that it was belching, waving its wings towards them, and said incoherently:

"Come on, it's delicious! It's several times more delicious than the grilled fish made by Angel!"

The people in the Gulf Territory, who felt quite interesting, did not respond with hostility to the arrival of the prophet Lili and the wood elf patrol team.

Instead, they served them all kinds of delicacies like Yaya.

Of course, they are not as confident as Yaya, and usually use a plate with various foods.

Includes a variety of vegetables and fruits.

Make sure they pick something they can eat.

Prophet Lili met Matthew's smiling eyes, and her heart involuntarily twitched. She quickly took the bunch of grapes handed over by Li and ate two of them without thinking.

The extraordinarily sweet grapes gave Lili a big surprise.

Unlike the grapes in the dark forest, where various flavors are mixed together, this sweet grape is really likeable.

With Lili taking the lead, the other wood elf members quickly got started.

After all, everyone has been waiting and watching for so long, and they are indeed a little hungry.

As a result, the imagined conflict did not happen. The scene of everyone gathering together and tasting various delicacies left a deep impression on the other wood elves in the dark forest.

They looked at their usually serious companions, smiling and communicating and discussing with a human being, and suddenly felt countless question marks popping up in their minds.

Then I saw my companion who rarely touched meat on weekdays, eating red skewers with big mouthfuls, and his eyes couldn't help but go straight.

"Are they controlled by some kind of psychic spell?"

"No sign of magic fluctuations was detected. Could it be that it was contaminated by some force?"

"There is no record of power in this area, and it has nothing to do with gluttony..."

"Is it possible that it's just plain delicious?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"We have the best quality, most natural flavor, and the sweetest food in our dark forest. How could we like their food?"

"That's right. They are probably just pretending to not make the other party look good."

"It's possible that they were taking the overall situation into consideration. The acting is indeed very similar. They must have put in a lot of hard work."

"Sigh... It's really hard for them."

"They are all good warriors!"

"..."

Although that was said, everyone felt vaguely that something was wrong.

But they didn't know exactly what was wrong.

A completely different development basically dispelled everyone’s hostile thoughts and ideas.

Some tentative discussions and exchanges, as well as the people in the Gulf Territory speaking without any reservations, completely reassured the wood elves.

"Are you just here to seek a deal?"

"Want the magical plants and herbs from the dark forest?"

"Don't you want to order something else? Just want some magic materials?"

"You don't need to do anything. The materials from those dead magical creatures will also work?"

"..."

The wood elf patrollers, who were still a little nervous at first, suddenly felt a sense of absurdity in their hearts when they heard these "trading items" that were basically useless in their opinion.

"It's just this little thing, you could have just said no? Why are you making such a big fuss?"

After receiving the information and answers she wanted, Prophet Lili also felt quite helpless.

She looked at Yaya who was very happy and turned out the transaction list, and she strongly suspected that the reason why this real dragon turned into a human form was to do business better.

Prophet Lili, who felt that her thoughts were up and down, nodded repeatedly and opened the list casually.

"The Tree of Life purification and processing array is specially used to purify the body of pollution, distortion, and degeneration."

In addition to the text description, there are also vivid magical images as evidence.

Prophet Lili took a first look and was immediately attracted.

In the large emerald green magic circle, a huge earth-moving dragon was being purified.

Wisps of black smoke came out from everywhere on its scales.

Black and purple congestion slowly seeped out, and was quickly neutralized by the rich life force, turning into pitch black smoke and escaping like a living creature.

Although the Earthly Dragon had become much thinner and weaker after being purified.

But with the supplement of vitality in the purification circle, it quickly stabilized.

From the layout and arrangement of the bay collar, Prophet Lili saw mature technology and natural processing.

The whole process may seem ordinary, but in fact there are various hidden meanings.

The extremely delighted Prophet Lili looked at the price of this transaction carefully.

1,000 super-quality magic plants?

Both medicinal materials and live ones are acceptable, the latter is counted as 3 times the former!

Only 1,000 trees?

so cheap?

For the huge black forest of love, isn't this just like picking it up for free?

Without waiting for Prophet Lili to say yes.

For the second type of trading product, the automatic playback of promotional clips begins.

"High-concentration purified holy water is specially used to eliminate pollution, clean up distortion, and eliminate dead energy in individual units. After diluting it, it can be used for disinfection and cleaning of large areas."

High-concentration holy water, which has only benefits and no harm to normal creatures, has extremely strong lethality and destructive power when faced with various deformed creatures.

Prophet Lili saw that even holy water diluted tens of thousands of times could cause considerable damage to large aberrations, and could quickly clean up large areas of polluted environments.

Is she excited?

The price of high concentration holy water is also very good!

A full 20 bottles of high-concentration holy water only require 800 super magic plants!

It can also be exchanged for 80 pieces of super-level magical creature materials!

"Is this really a deal? Are you sure the Gulf leaders didn't come here to support us wood elves under the guise of a deal?"

Although she thought so in her heart, Prophet Lili still didn't dare to ask.

The closer I got to Matthew, the more I could feel the amazing pressure.

Instead, continue watching and then trade items.

"The non-life halo generator can restore most of the manipulated consciousness."

"It can cause severe mental impact on deeply distorted creatures, causing them to become confused."

"Price: 500 super-level trees..."

"The undead halo engraving technology can engrave a large number of undead halos with different effects..."

"Price: 1,300 super-level trees..."

"The psychic protection barrier array can protect the thinking and reason of all intelligent creatures within the area of ​​the array..."

"Price: 600 super-level trees..."

"The sealing array can seal large deformed creatures or evil objects..."

"Price: 2.8 high-level magic plants..."

"..."

All kinds of weapons, equipment, medicines, potions, magic circles, and techniques seemed to be specially prepared for the wood elves' plight.

This looks like an extremely sweet, delicious, and delicious bait.

But judging from the effect it showed and the prophet Lili's very bold use of her ability to "check".

Prophet Lili can basically confirm that the things used for trading above can indeed be of great help.

She has only one attitude: buy it!

As a result, the wood elf patrols soon discovered that the prophet originally wanted to solve all kinds of troubles and eliminate all kinds of dangers.

Suddenly, he became a buyer, asking everyone to collect various herbs and materials, and buy a large number of items from the Gulf Territory.

In just a few days.

A large wooden camp was soon erected in the surrounding area centered on the Tree of Life sapling.

After confirming that the effect of the first batch of goods was indeed very good, the wood elves placed a larger order without hesitation.

More shipments arrived from the Gulf Territory.

The dark forest soon became lively.

At the same time, Matthew also got the information he wanted and learned about the monster the wood elf was dealing with.

Ancient evil object-Devil's Thorn!
