Homo sapiens were very interesting creatures. When the elves gave the choice of signing a contract with the World Tree to the adult elves, the number of elves who chose to sign a contract with the World Tree became very few, or even none at all. It was normal to think about it. Who would suddenly choose a life with more restrictions after getting used to a certain kind of life? Besides, such a change was not only troublesome but also meaningless.
But when this choice changed, it became a privilege that only a few elites could have. Only by becoming a Divine Wood Guard could they sign a contract with the World Tree. Although once the contract was signed, they had to follow the rules meticulously, but there were still countless young elves who wanted to become a member of the Divine Wood Guard.
The benefit of the change in relationship with the World Tree was that it liberated the elves' productivity, creativity, and destructive power. The elves even once ruled the Maze World and built a huge empire.
But the side effect was that the World Tree seemed to degenerate. Its incarnation no longer appeared, and even the elves lost the ability to communicate with the World Tree. Only the elves with a special bloodline could still communicate with the World Tree.
Perhaps the branches were still dense and lush, and perhaps the shade under the tree still made people not dare to belittle it. But other than the bloodline that had become royalty and a few members of the Divine Tree Guards, the World Tree seemed to have closed its heart and become a pure plant.
In this regard, the elves of the kingdom did not know how to salvage the situation. Speaking of this, he could only sigh deeply.
The information obtained from these old elves was indeed completely different from what the wood elves had said and what he had imagined. As for the reason behind this, a certain someone had a flash of inspiration. He seemed to have some ideas, but the sudden fluffy feeling by his feet scattered the idea that had just sprouted. Lin looked at the kitten rubbing against his feet in surprise.
"Meow."
Reaching out to grab the uninvited guest that was meowing in a childish voice, Lin asked curiously, "Hey, little thing, how did you get in here?"
In his impression, a group of armed elves did not seal the outside so tightly. Was it because there was a mouse hole here that the kitten chased him in? But his action of holding the cat with one hand looked puzzled in the eyes of the others. Lin smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Are you also surprised to see this cat? Let me say this first, I did not smuggle it in. You have to ask yourselves. "
"No, sir, you have nothing in your hands," said Luca Titov.
Was the Prime Minister lying, or … Lin turned his head and looked at Fen, who was sitting beside him. "You didn't see it either?"
Lich looked at her as if she was an idiot. No matter how stupid a certain someone was, he should know something. He looked at the kitten in one hand and said, "Hey, little thing, what exactly are you?"
"Meow."
"What's your name?"
"Meow."
"Meow Ya, what a nice name. … "A certain cat rolled its eyes." … How did you get in? "
"Meow."
"Where are your parents?"
"Meow ~."
He held the kitten's forearms with both hands and lifted it up. "Are you male or female?"
"Meow, meow, meow!" The kitten didn't cooperate and swung its lower limbs around, intending to scratch someone's face with its hind paws.
"All right, all right. You want me to help you, right? Yes, just meow. "
This variegated kitten, who should still be drinking milk, settled down. It tilted its small head, looked cute, and kept meowing. It looked like it was going to play dumb to the end.
He had some guesses in his heart. How could he allow this kitten to play dumb? Lin asked with a smile: "Well, I'm very interested in what you are. So, do you agree to let me dissect you? Oh, then I'll cut you open and study you. If you agree, then meow. If you agree, then meow. "
The tri-colored kitten, who was acting cute, looked at the person in front of it with dead fish eyes, not daring to make a sound.
"Oh, weren't you going to pretend you didn't understand? Can you speak human language? "
"Meow, meow."
"I don't understand. Then it's worthless. I'll just cook it. Cat meat, I heard from Old Guang that it tastes very special. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to taste it yet. "
The tri-colored kitten didn't meow this time. It turned its head and bit the hand that grabbed it. Although this little thing was very small, its claws and teeth were very strong. When someone felt pain, of course, he shook it off. The kitten, who had broken free, nimbly scurried across the table and wanted to run away.
But how could someone let a small animal that had already entered his field of vision run away so easily? In a flash, he grabbed the skin at the back of its neck. In another flash, he returned to his original position.
This one-man show, of course, made a group of elves confused. They didn't understand the meaning of a certain someone's actions at all. In particular, the acting was so vivid, as if he really had something in his hand. However, the sudden appearance and disappearance in the end still frightened this group of experienced and knowledgeable old elves. If such a technique was used in an assassination, who could guard against it?
He looked at the empty space on the table with great interest. Fen asked: "What's the reason? You can see it, but I can't. And I've changed several ways of observation, but I can't detect anything at all. Does it exist in consciousness? Or in a specific wavelength of light? "Of course, she didn't think that someone was lying. This kind of deception was meaningless. Then the only possibility left was that the thing in his hand had indeed used some method to avoid other people's vision.
He pressed the kitten in his hand on the table. The kitten, who was pressed down, obediently lay down, not moving or meowing. That pair of black eyes, however, were restlessly drifting about.
In response to Fen's question, Lin Xiang thought for a while and said: "This should be a characteristic of higher dimensional creatures. If he doesn't restrict the transmission of information, just like those indescribable things, with just one look, people will be driven crazy by the extra information that they can't process. But if he restrains himself, then he really doesn't exist in other people's perception. "
"Can't you feel it?" Fen reached out and felt under the item that someone was pressing down. As expected, it was empty. However, in Lin's eyes, the Lich's hand swept across the kitten, and the kitten let out an unhappy cry. Fen asked in confusion: "Then why can you?"
"Well, because he sent some information to me and established a connection with me, allowing me to observe the part he sent out. Of course, it's in a way that I can understand the information he sent out. But this connection is permanent. After it's established, he can't disappear from my perception again just because he wants to. So I think if he can maintain this state, perhaps we need to consider whether he should appear in front of more people. But it's not like there's no other way. "
Perhaps the elves couldn't understand most of the conversation between the two Magicians. But the part that they could understand seemed to indicate that this human Magician could see something. And it was very likely that … "Could it be that you can see Her Majesty Lahti?"
The unfamiliar name made Lin ask directly: "Lahti? Who? "
When the elves mentioned this person, they were all filled with respect and said: "The guardian of the kingdom, Her Majesty Lahti, the World Tree."
He looked at the kitten that was being pressed under his hand and pretending to be obedient. Lin said: "Is he your World Tree? I'm not sure. Maybe he's just a little thing that came from another world through the passage of the World Tree. "
"Meow."
Regarding this uncertain guess, a certain someone suddenly thought of himself. How did he come to the maze? Could he follow the same path back? With this distraction, his hand naturally relaxed. The kitten under his hand naturally seized this opportunity and darted out with a whoosh, looking at a certain someone warily from the other side of the long table.
As for the kitten that had escaped, Lin looked at his empty hand and didn't think of catching it again. Instead, he looked with a smirk at the kitten that had lowered its forelimbs and raised its butt high, ready to dash at any time.
Because he had guessed why he was invited to the Elf Kingdom, Lin had made some preparations in advance. At this moment, he took out a magic stone that he had prepared long ago. Inside it was the introductory knowledge related to the natural magic patterns of the World Tree. It was mainly some content that was organized and summarized, as well as mathematical explanations.
This was originally a small toy that he had used to brush off the elves and report to them. If the other party made any unreasonable requests, he would throw this magic stone to dismiss the elves. Now, this magic stone could be used to lure this unknown kitten in front of him.
As soon as a certain someone took out the magic stone, the kitten seemed to have sensed what was inside. Its two eyeballs stared straight at it, not relaxing for a moment. As a certain someone deliberately moved up and down, left and right, its little head followed suit.
Seeing this, Lin couldn't help but smile. He stopped teasing the kitten and gently tossed the magic stone out. This action was not only stared at by the kitten, but also by all the elves and Fen present. When the magic stone landed on the table again, it bounced a few times and spun smoothly. All the elves woke up with a start, realizing that they had watched a certain someone's one-man show for a long time.
Some of the calmer old elves wanted to scold a certain someone. But right in front of their eyes, the magic stone that was spinning suddenly stopped. They vaguely saw a variegated kitten cover the magic stone with its short forelimbs. Then, it lowered its head and put the magic stone into its mouth.
Just as the kitten with the magic stone in its mouth was about to raise its head and swallow it, it realized that it had become the focus of everyone's attention.
Recognition was a mutual behavior. There was no such thing as being able to see the other side without being discovered. In the kitten's eyes, people who didn't have any connection with it were just background, no different from the stones on the roadside. Once a connection was established, the people who recognized it would seem as if they had come alive in its world. That was why it could sense that it had been seen.
It pretended that nothing had happened and swallowed the magic stone. The tri-colored kitten was still acting cute. It tilted its head and called out in its childish voice, "Meow."
Then, it jumped towards the edge of the table. Its short limbs kicked with all its might, and the kitten's figure gradually faded in the air. Just before it landed, it disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
At this moment, a certain someone said, "In order to let others see something that doesn't exist, first, there must be something that they can observe as a medium to make them realize that something does exist. When the recognition is established, they can see something that doesn't exist. Of course, this isn't necessarily a good thing. "
