Chapter 166: Moon Elf’s Decision:
Forest of Moon Shadow.
The cool evening breeze blew through the treetops, causing a rustling sound among the leaves of the ancient trees.
The elves claim to be the guardians of the World Tree, so... the residence of Elf Queen Alicia was built next to the World Tree.
It was a wooden house located on the lakeside.
The sparkling lake water ripples outside the window, and the plump berries bloom with charming colors.
This is the place least affected by the black fog in the entire forest.
According to the elders of the Moon Elf clan, only the flowers, plants and trees growing here still retain their appearance before the black mist filled the area.
As an ancient race with thousands of years of inheritance, the elves also have an extremely ancient inheritance system.
The Elf Queen is the actual controller of the Moon Elf clan, but she is not the strongest among the Elf clan.
In fact, the elf queens of the past generations were all chosen by the God of Nature in ancient rituals.
They can feel the power of nature and hear the call of the World Tree.
When the elves sprinkle a handful of water from the moon spring under the World Tree and pray quietly with a pious and solemn attitude... the World Tree will wake up from its sleep and spread its vibrant green shade over the people of the gods. of the head.
Since then, the Elf Queen has had the opportunity to talk directly to the World Tree.
Clementi took a deep breath and knocked on the door of the cabin with a heavy heart.
"Come in."
As a slightly cold voice came from it, Clementi's chaotic mind calmed down a little.
Those who were caught off guard by the return of humans were not just Elte and others who went out to plant trees.
Even as an elder of the Moon Elf clan, Clementi was not in a calm mood after hearing about Elte's journey.
The decline of the World Tree, the dissipation of the black mist, the return of mankind...
all kinds of things are intertwined.
This made Clementi suddenly realize that the Abandoned Land may be about to face major changes that have not been seen in thousands of years.
He took a deep breath and finally opened the door in front of him.
Alicia is sitting in the room.
Her long silver hair fell down like a waterfall, and her clear eyes were not disturbed by the entrance of everyone.
She was using her slender fingers to gently comfort the young rabbit in her arms.
"The World Tree told me that among the newly planted seedlings last month, only two are still alive."
After finally smoothing down the snow-white down of the baby rabbit, Alicia finally raised her head and looked at to the people standing in front of him.
"Two..."
Clementi was stunned for a moment and looked back at the elves who had just returned.
"Probably...probably the two trees that were dug up..."
Erte touched her nose and replied with some anxiety.
"Digging... away?"
Alicia's words finally showed some doubts, and her cold voice couldn't help but raise a bit.
Yes, as the Elf Queen, she can indeed talk to the World Tree.
But the World Tree is not the private property of the elves!
In a sense, it was the World Tree that chose the Elf family, and not the Elf family that chose the World Tree.
Therefore, as far as the World Tree itself is concerned, it is good that the planted seedlings can survive. As for whether the surviving seedlings are under the control of the elves, this is an irrelevant matter.
"What do you mean?"
Alicia looked at the young elf standing behind Clementi in confusion.
"Elte discovered traces of humans."
Clementi took the initiative to explain: "Not far east of the Moon Shadow Forest, those humans dug up the World Tree that we planted not long ago." "Humans
?! "
At this moment, even Alicia, who had always shown herself to be calm, had a look of surprise on her face.
In Alicia's memory, long before she was born, the proper noun human had become history in the eyes of the elves and a passerby in the abandoned land.
"Yes."
Erte nodded hesitantly, then continued:
"We found traces of humans on that land, an elite human army." "
And the most important thing is... they seem to have mastery of He has the ability to dispel the black fog, and can open up a land of dozens of kilometers in the flat wilderness without the black fog!" "
This is impossible!"
Alicia stood up suddenly.
Immediately, the sleeping baby rabbit that was originally in her arms slipped out and fell to the ground, jumping to the corner of the room with resentful eyes.

"Not to mention that humans have disappeared in the abandoned land for thousands of years, just the ability you mentioned to be able to dispel the black mist is completely impossible!" Alicia tried hard to make
herself The voice calmed down.
"But we have all seen it..."
"And the appearance of those people is indeed the same as what the elders of the Moon Elf clan said..."
Erte pointed to the teammates standing next to her and said with some anxiety. .
There is no way, because humans have disappeared in the abandoned land for many years, and the moon elves' impressions of humans all come from the oral accounts of their ancestors.
So...
seeing the question raised by the Queen of Elf, even though they had seen it with their own eyes, Elte and others still had a trace of doubt about the scene they had seen before.
Could it be that I saw it wrong?
Or is it really some kind of fantasy?
"Those...humans, what do they look like?"
"They are similar to elves. Their ears are not as good-looking as elves, their bodies are not as well-proportioned as elves, their eyes..."
After a series of questions, Alicia finally accepted Elte. The facts brought back by others.
There was no way, even though she had never seen a human being, Elte's description seemed to be somewhat similar to a human being, or... exactly the same?
"Should we send the elf long archers to snatch back the seedlings of the World Tree?"
Clementi asked tentatively.
"Don't act rashly yet."
Alicia frowned, but finally shook her head and said.
Although she really wanted to do this, if what Elte said was true, then the abandoned land in the future might undergo unprecedented changes.
Even though she was quite dissatisfied with the humans who dug up the World Tree after just one encounter, Alicia was more aware of the current situation of the Moon Elf clan.
Moreover, if humans really have a method that can dispel the black mist... then aside from other things, the most anxious people should be the undead spirits wandering in the abandoned land, right?
"Send the elves first to verify the accuracy of the news." "
If those humans are not hostile... forget it, observe from a distance first, and do not have contact with humans for the time being."
Without knowing the details of humans, he rashly Contact will put the moon elves, who are already walking on thin ice, in greater danger.
Although they have never had real contact with humans, according to the records left by the ancestors of the elves, humans... are probably not easy to deal with!
