Queen Of Elves had a serious look on her face. As Xing 'er's Elven King Bloodline was about to run out, she did not notice when Dumb brought her into the Elven Forest. It was only after they entered the Elven City that Queen Of Elves felt a weak aura. She hurriedly flew out. She heard the conversation between Dumb and that elf. She fished her daughter out of the water and immediately channeled her Force of Nature into Xing' er's dried-up meridians. It was not that she did not want to help Xing 'er recover the energy of the Elven King Bloodline in Sunset City, but without the Elven Lake and the Elven Ancient Tree, she could not do anything. At that time, although the energy of Xing 'er's Elven King Bloodline was weak, Queen Of Elves calculated that it was enough for them to return to the Elven Forest. Therefore, she did not rush Dumb. However, after more than a month, they still had not returned. In the past few days, Queen Of Elves had been extremely anxious. She even sent a few elves out of the forest to welcome them.
When Dumby saw that the Sidhe Queen did not reply, he continuously blamed himself in his heart. If he had not been too impulsive and used the Thunder and Lightning Strike without identifying the Presiding Judge's identity and motive, causing him to be seriously injured and wasting time, Xing 'er would not have ended up in such a dangerous situation.
The four Elven Ambassadors floated around Queen Of Elves. They kept chanting incantations in the elven language. Circles of green light shone from their bodies and gathered around Xing 'er's body. The Queen Of Elves suddenly let out a delicate shout and shot a pale green energy at the Ancient Sidhe Tree. The Ancient Sidhe Tree trembled slightly, and instantly, several thick vines shot out and wrapped around Xing Er's body. Other than her head, the vines wrapped around her entire body. Under the control of the Queen Of Elves, Xing Er slowly sank into the water, only exposing her mouth and nose to breathe.
Queen Of Elves let out a long sigh. She staggered a little and only managed to stabilize herself with Audi's support. Ever since she stimulated all her potential and used the Melody of Growth, her energy had not recovered. Due to his anxiety, he had expended a large amount of his Force of Nature to save his daughter.
Dumb quickly asked, "Auntie, how's Sister Xing 'er?"
Queen Elves revealed a gratified smile. "Don't worry. Your little sister Xing'er is fine now. She just needs to rest for a period of time, and her body will recover. That was really dangerous! Her Elven King bloodline is almost completely exhausted. Fortunately, you threw her into the lake in time. She relied on the spiritual energy of the Spirit Lake to maintain a trace of the bloodline's energy at the last moment, so that I could help her nourish her meridians. Dumb, it's been hard on you. "
Only then did Dumb feel relieved. He subconsciously loosened his grip, and his body slid down towards the Spirit Lake. With a splash, water splashed everywhere, and Dumb instantly fell into the cool lake water. The Spirit Lake was not deep. It only reached Dumb's shoulder. The cool lake water stimulated his entire body, and he shivered. The Elf Queen couldn't help but smile when she saw his sorry state.
Audi let go of Queen Of Elves and chanted an incantation. A thick vine rose from the lake water, and Dumb was lifted up. "Little brother, how could you be so careless!"
Dumb smiled bitterly. "Maybe this is my retribution for throwing Sister Xing'er into the lake."
Queen Of Elves smiled slightly, and said sincerely, "Dumb, thank you so much. You brought Xing'er back, which is equivalent to saving the entire elven race. I represent my people to thank you. "With that, she bowed deeply to Dumb.
Queen Of Elves's action immediately made Dumb at a loss. He hurriedly said, "Auntie, don't be like this. Aren't we friends? Why thank me? "
Queen Of Elves sighed, and said, "Child, as a human, you have helped us elves too much. How can this bow be enough to repay you? No matter what you need in the future, the elves will support you without reservation. Alright, go rest in the treehouse first. " With that, she left Audi and another Great Elven Envoy to protect Xing'er. She chanted an incantation, and brought Dumb into the treehouse of the Ancient Elven Tree.
Not long after, the Yanshi Brothers and Zhuo Yun were lured back by the elves. Returning to her home, Zhuo Yun could not contain her excitement. Under Queen Of Elves's leadership, the elves held a grand welcome banquet for Dumb and the Yanshi Brothers. During the banquet, Queen Of Elves solemnly announced that Dumb and the Yanshi Brothers would become the elves' eternal friends. She also personally gave each of them a Elven Pearl, which represented the power of nature. With the power of nature contained in the Elven Pearl, they could enter and exit the elves' defensive barrier as they pleased.
Night fell. Even in the middle of the night, the City of Elves was still as beautiful as ever. A faint mist floated on the surface of the Elven Lake. Under the moonlight, the hazy beauty contained a mysterious hue. The elves had the habit of sleeping early. Apart from the patrolling elves, everyone else was already asleep. Dumb and the Yanshi Brothers sat by the Elven Lake. Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of them, the three of them were indescribably relaxed. They had finally completed the mission entrusted to them by Queen Of Elves, and their hearts were filled with an indescribable excitement. Although they could not let go of the 14 elves who had died, after hearing Queen Of Elves's explanation, they understood that saving Xing'er was equivalent to saving the lives of more elves. Thus, the regret in their hearts faded a lot.
"Dumb, what are your plans?" Yanshi asked calmly as he gazed at the mist in the lake.
Dumb glanced at Yanshi, then placed his hands on his knees and said, "After Sister Xing'er recovers, I want to leave this place and go to the Tenjin Empire to find Teacher Goris. I've already been away for seven years, and I don't know how Teacher is doing. After I see Teacher, I want to learn magic from him. I won't roam the continent anymore. I'm sick of the deceit of humans. I just want to accompany Teacher Goris and live a peaceful life. Perhaps the Forest of Hallucinations is the only place where I can live in peace. "
Yanshi turned to look at Dumb and said, "What about Yue? Don't you miss her? Also, don't you want to avenge your uncle? "
At the mention of Xuanyue and Owen, Dumb couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. He sighed and said, "Big brother, don't mention Yue in the future. She and I are not the same kind of person. It's impossible for us to be together. As for uncle, I will definitely avenge him. In the future, I will spend three months every year to find traces of the Assassin Guild. Sooner or later, I will find their nest and completely eradicate them. "
Yanshi put his arm around Dumb's shoulder and smiled, "Brother, don't be so unconfident in yourself. In your big brother's eyes, you are the most outstanding person. You have to fight for your own happiness. Yue is a good girl, don't give up so easily. "
Dumby shook his head gently. He suddenly remembered the scene in Ninuo City. He could still clearly remember what the little girl had said before she left. I wonder how she is now. Perhaps, after seeing Teacher Goris, I should go look for her. Only when they are both thieves can they be together. At the very least, there is no difference in status between them. The girl said that she wants to be my wife when she grows up. I wonder if she still remembers it. Forget it, what's the use of thinking about this now. I'll think about it after I see Teacher Goris.
Yan Li patted Yanshi's thigh and chuckled, "Big brother, don't always call me Dumb. What about you? You and Zhuo Yun are flirting with each other every day. What's going on? "
Hearing Yan Li's words, Yanshi blushed. Luckily, it was night time, so Yan Li and Dumb couldn't see his expression. Yanshi said awkwardly, "There's nothing going on between me and Zhuo Yun. Don't talk nonsense."
Yan Li snorted disapprovingly and said, "There's nothing going on between you and Zhuo Yun? Do you think we're all blind? Dumb, tell me, isn't there something unusual between Big Brother and Zhuo Yun? "
Dumb smiled faintly and said, "Big brother Yanshi, I can't help you this time. You and Sister obviously have feelings for each other. Even I can see it. "
Yanshi lowered his head and mumbled, "Is it that obvious? That's right, I like Zhuo Yun. When I saved her, the gentleness and kindness she showed when she comforted you made me feel as if I saw the dead Yun 'er again. Zhuo Yun is a good girl. People have feelings. After spending so much time with her, if I said I didn't like her, I'd be lying. But I still can't let go of Yun 'er's death. How can I woo Zhuo Yun? Besides, her lover has just died not long ago. At this time, how can I … "
Dumb said, "Big brother, don't worry too much. I can see that Sister Zhuo Yun still has feelings for you. Since the two of you like each other, why are you so fixated on the past? Didn't you just tell me that I have to fight for my own happiness? Sister is really a good person. I'll definitely support her becoming my sister-in-law. "
Yan Li laughed and said, "I support her too. Big brother, let's go."
Yanshi suddenly fell silent. He stared blankly at the mist on the Spirit Lake. After a long time, he said, "Dumb, I have a question for you to answer."
"What is it?"
Yanshi took a deep breath and seemed to muster up his courage before saying, "Tell me, how old do elves usually live?"
Dumb did not fully understand the meaning behind Yanshi's words. He replied, "There are at least a few hundred years. Look at Sister Zhuo Yun. She's already over a hundred years old, but she's still so young."
A trace of sadness flashed across Yanshi's eyes. "Yes! She's still so young when she's over a hundred years old. When she's over two hundred years old, she'll at most be like Queen Of Elves, a middle-aged elf. What about me? Can I do it? I'm twenty-eight years old now. It looks like I'm a good match for Zhuo Yun, but what if I'm fifty-eight years old? Have you thought about what will happen to me? At that time, Zhuo Yun will still be young, while I'll be old. Taking a step back, I'll be able to maintain my youthful appearance. A human's lifespan is only about a hundred years, but an elf can live for hundreds or even thousands of years. I can't harm Zhuo Yun because of my impulsiveness. I once heard her say that an elf only marries once in their lifetime. The partner they marry is her partner for life. Even if the partner dies, it won't change. I can't ruin her future happiness! Only someone from her race is her best choice. With her beauty, gentleness, and kindness, she'll definitely be able to find an elf that's much stronger than me as a husband. " At this point, Yanshi lowered his head in pain. When he said these words, his heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife. After being together for more than a year, he'd already fallen deeply in love with Zhuo Yun. The problem of age had always been his biggest concern.
After hearing Yanshi's words, Dumb and Yan Li fell silent. They hadn't thought of this reason. Yanshi was right. If he and Zhuo Yun really became husband and wife, this was a problem that they had to face.
A gentle breeze blew past, stirring up tiny ripples on the surface of the Spirit Lake. The three of them remained silent.
After a long time, Dumb couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked, "Big Brother, do you really want to give up like this?"
Yanshi raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky. He smiled bitterly, "What else can I do if I don't give up? I can't not give up! It's better to get the pain over with than to prolong it. Let's break it off before anything develops between us. " He lowered his head and looked at Dumb beside him. "Brother, actually, you're facing the same problem as me. In fact, the problem is even more serious."
Dumb was stunned. "The same problem? Why would I have the same problem as you? "
Yanshi smiled. "Of course you do. The reason why I said your problem is more serious is that the one who likes you isn't an ordinary elf. It's the elf princess."
Dumby turned pale with fright. "What? You mean … "
Yanshi smiled. "You're really silly. Don't you feel that there's something else in Xing 'er's gaze when she looks at you? I already noticed it when we were still in Sunset City. Xing 'er often stares at you in a daze. She's always smiling. Only when she looks at you will she reveal a trace of infatuation. After spending so many days together, don't you feel anything? "
Dumb's expression changed. He shook his head. "No, it can't be. I'm so ugly. Sister Xing 'er is so beautiful. Why would she like me? Brother, you must have misunderstood. Sister Xing 'er probably has a good impression of me because I was the first person to rush into the room to save her. Don't tell anyone! It'll cause a misunderstanding. "
Yan Li chuckled. "My silly brother, Big Brother is right. Except for you, who doesn't know how Xing 'er feels about you? When you were seriously injured, her anxious look couldn't be a lie. If you don't believe me, you can ask Zhuo Yun. "
Dumb looked at Yanshi blankly, then at Yan Li. He shook his head. "No, no way. I-I can't!" He had always treated Xing 'er as his sister. When he heard what the Yanshi Brothers said, he couldn't help but feel confused. Xing 'er likes me? If that's the case, how am I going to face her?
Yanshi patted Dumb's shoulder. "Brother, don't think too much. You have your concerns as well. Forget it. Although the ladies of the Sidhe are beautiful, they aren't suitable for us humans. I think there's only one way to solve our problem. "
Dumb looked at Yanshi in surprise. "What is it?"
Yanshi looked at the Sidhe Ancient Tree in the middle of the Sidhe Lake. He sighed. "Escape. Only by leaving this place will we be able to solve our problems. As time passes, maybe we'll slowly forget about them, and they'll forget about us. I hope time can erase everything. "When he said this, he was also asking himself. Can I really forget about Zhuo Yun?
Dumb's eyes lit up. He nodded. "Yes! That's a good idea. Although we didn't complete our promise to the Sidhe Auntie well, at least we did it. It's time to leave. Big brother, what's your plan? "
Rock said, "Originally, I wanted to go with you to see that teacher of yours, Goris. I wanted to see what kind of charm he has that you can't forget about him. In the days that we've been together, you've mentioned him almost every few days. But now, I can't. Ah Li and I are too weak. For the past two years, we could only watch you go through fire and water without being able to help. That painful feeling made me realize that strength means everything. I've decided to go back to the Puyan people with Ah Li. We'll cultivate the Divine Imperial Qi that the Presiding Judge gave us. We'll try our best to increase our strength. If there's a thousand year calamity, we'll be able to contribute to our people. Alright, since it's dark, let's leave now. Otherwise, if we're discovered by the Queen Of Elves, we won't be able to leave. You've seen the passion of the Sidhe Elves. Let's go. It's time for us to leave. " After saying that, he stood up and stretched his body. He stared at the tree house where Zhuo Yun was resting not far away. There was a helpless and sad expression on his face.
Dumb said, "Are we leaving now? Should we leave a message for the Sidhe Auntie? "
Yanshi thought for a moment. He looked at the soil beside the lake where there were no plants growing. He said, "Let's leave a message here so that they won't worry."
Dumb took a step forward and stretched out his right hand. A yellow-green light shot out. His wrist trembled. After a while, a line of words was drawn by him. What he wrote was: Sidhe Auntie, we've completed the task you gave us. My two brothers and I still have some things to do. Please forgive us for leaving without saying goodbye. Take care. — Dumb. When he was writing these lines, Dumby felt that the Genuine Qi in his body was indescribably smooth and transparent. He could almost move it with his thoughts. Just as the thought came to his mind, his fingers had already activated the Genuine Qi and completed the process of writing. After leaving the Holy Hall, they had been hurrying on their way. It was only now that Dumb felt that he was different. In the past, the second golden body in his chest would just stay there quietly. Now, as long as he activated his Qi, the second golden body would emit a faint layer of light. Not only did it completely protect his internal organs, but it also seemed to have an effect on the energy emitted by the silver golden body. It made the energy emitted by the silver golden body even more condensed.
Seeing that Dumb had finished writing, Yan Li praised, "Brother, your Qi is getting more and more refined. I wonder when it will catch up to your current level. Big Brother is right. When we go back, I'll definitely train hard. "
Dumb smiled and said, "The two of you have such a good foundation. With the guidance of the presiding judge's vital Qi training method, you'll definitely improve very quickly."
Yanshi looked around reluctantly and said, "Let's go while it's still dark." After saying that, he took the lead and walked out of the Elven Forest. Since they had the Elven Sphere with them, all the illusions set up by the elves had no effect on them. They quickly moved towards the east. After avoiding a few groups of patrolling elves, they finally left the Elven Forest before dawn.
Dumby's relationship with Xing 'er was just that of a brother's sister. Although he was a little reluctant to part with the elves, he didn't feel anything special other than a little disappointment. However, Yanshi was different. He was deeply in love with Zhuo Yun. After reluctantly leaving the Elven Forest, he became silent. Looking back at the Elven Forest that was covered in the morning mist, a hint of sadness could be seen in his eyes. His heart was filled with reluctance to leave Zhuo Yun.
As they walked, Yan Li said to Dumb, "Brother, come stay with us Puyan people for a while."
Dumb shook his head and said, "It's okay. We haven't seen each other for seven years. I'm going to the Psychedelic Forest to see Teacher Goris. Big Brothers, let's part ways here. " The strong longing for Goris filled his chest. He remembered everything that happened in the Psychedelic Forest. He clearly remembered every moment that he spent with Goris. It was Goris who changed his life and helped him, the lowest thief, to walk out of Ninuo City. Without Goris, there would be no Dumb. Dumb was a person who valued relationships very much. He had finally completed the elf's request, and it was time to see his teacher.
Yanshi woke up from his melancholy, and the three of them stopped at the same time. It had been two years. They had been together for two years. The impending separation gave them a bitter feeling.
Dumb took a deep breath and took a step forward. He hugged Yanshi's shoulders tightly. "Big Brother." Yanshi grabbed Dumb's shoulders with the back of his hand. There was no need for words to express the deep brotherly love between them.
Dumb let go of Yanshi and turned to Yan Li, who was much shorter than him. He grabbed his broad shoulders and said, "Big Brother Yan Li."
Yan Li sighed, "I didn't think that we would be separated so soon. Brother, take care. When you are free, come visit us with the Puyan people. We will miss you. "
Dumb nodded. He remembered what Prophet Prín said to him years ago. He said, "Big Brothers, don't worry. As long as the Puyan people are in trouble, I will rush over to help you as soon as possible. This is what I promised Prophet Prín."
Yanshi said, "Good brother, work hard. Don't be dispirited. There are still many things waiting for you to do. This is for you. You will need it in the Hallucinatory Forest. "As he said that, Yanshi took out his own map of the continent and handed it over. This map recorded the exact paths of most of the continent.
"Big Brother, this map is also very useful to you. If you give it to me, what will you use?"
"Take it, brother. I don't have anything good. This is the only thing I can give you as a parting gift. We will be training with the Puyan people. I am afraid that we will not leave easily. When you miss us, come and visit us. I think the Great Prophet is also looking forward to your visit. It would be best if you can bring Yue the next time you come back. "
Dumb's face turned red. He said, "Big Brother, I will definitely look for you again."
Yanshi sighed. "Let's go. Since we are going to separate, don't be shy. Brother, we will be waiting for you. " As he said that, he pulled Yan Li's thick arm. He circulated his battle energy and flew in the direction of the Puyan people. Dumby stood where he was, watching their silhouettes, one tall and one short, gradually disappear from his line of sight. He suddenly felt so empty in his heart, as if he had suddenly become alone again. The feeling of loneliness made Dumby dejected. Since the death of Uncle Owen, he met Xuanyue not long after he left the Xibo Tribe. Yue could be said to be his first friend, followed by the Moon Scar Mercenary Group, Yanshi, and Yan Li. Yue stayed in the Holy Hall. He was afraid that he would not be able to see her again. He did not know where the Moon Scar Mercenary Group went. Now, even the Yanshi Brothers were separated from him. He stood in the same place for a long time. It was not until the sun shone on the earth that he was pulled back from his thoughts to reality. Yes! It was time to leave.
Dumb spread out the map that Yanshi gave him and found his location. From here, he only needed to pass through the Yalian people and head north to enter the Tenjin Empire. Then, he would pass through the Duru Province and Talun Province of the Tenjin Empire. Then, he would reach the Valen Province where the Psychedelic Forest was located. Under the illumination of the sun, Dumby leaped into the air, tapped the ground with the tips of its toes, and flew toward the north. Every time he jumped, he would fly more than ten meters away. After a while, he had already disappeared into the grassland between the Sky Yuan Tribe and the Yalian people.
Ten days later, in the Swift Wind Tribe of the Yalian people. A group of Yalian people were gathering the slaughtered cattle and sheep together to dry and marinate them. These cattle and sheep would become their food for a period of time. Among the group of black men, a tall, dark-haired, dark-eyed young man was the most eye-catching. He worked very fast. He was able to lift a strong cow that weighed seven or eight hundred kilograms by himself. He was doing the work of four or five strong men from the Yalian Tribe. This black-haired, black-eyed young man was Dumb. Ten days ago, when he entered the territory of the Yalian people, he found out that he had no money. Back when he and Rock had been in the Luori Empire, all the money they had won from the casino was stored in a savings card that could only be used in the Luori Empire. In order to send Dumby to Jiaoting in time, Rock had long forgotten about exchanging money. Later, when they sent Xing 'er back to the Sidhe Clan, they had used almost all their cash to buy a horse. When Dumb entered the territory of the Yalian people, he found out that he did not even have enough money to buy a bun. The Yalian people lived in a grassland that stretched as far as the eye could see. There were no cities, let alone the Sorcerers Guild. So, naturally, he could not get a monthly salary. Left with no choice, he could only rely on his own strength to find a job in the Swift Wind Tribe of the Yalian people. Dumb did not ask for much. He only wanted enough food for him to eat before he entered the Tenjin Empire. According to his calculations, he should have enough for the night.
The Yalian people were very hospitable. Although Dumb was of a different race, they did not discriminate against him. Especially when Dumb showed them that he had enough strength to lift a whole cow, it caused a sensation in the entire Swift Wind Tribe. No matter when or where, a warrior would always be loved and respected.
"Bang." Dumb threw the dead cow on his shoulder to the ground. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said to the old Yalian people who were cutting the beef, "Uncle Feng Nu, is that enough?" The old man nodded at Dumb and said, "Enough, enough. Dumb, you are a hardworking young man. Our efficiency has increased a lot since you came. Take a rest. Here, drink some goat milk. "As he spoke, he threw a leather bag made of cow skin to Dumb.
Dumb opened the leather bag and poured the stinky goat milk into his mouth. As he drank the goat milk, he gazed at the busy Yalian people and felt an indescribable sense of comfort. There were no disputes in this simple tribe. Everyone was busy with what they were supposed to do. After living here for ten days, Dumb had never felt so relaxed. He thought, perhaps, this kind of most ordinary life without mutual deceit was suitable for him.
Uncle Feng Nu smiled and said, "Dumb, you can stay in the Swift Wind Tribe. Since you are so capable, I will help you find a beautiful wife. There are many beautiful ladies in the tribe who have taken a fancy to you. Haha. "
Dumb smiled shyly and said, "I am sorry, Uncle. I still have many things to do. I can't stay in the tribe for too long. Perhaps, I will leave tonight. "
Feng Nu frowned and said, "Why? You don't like the life in the Swift Wind Tribe? Here, as long as you work hard, you will be rewarded accordingly. If you leave, I will miss you. "
Dumb looked in the direction of the Tenjin Empire and murmured, "No, I like this place very much. But, I have a reason to leave. I am sorry, Uncle. I will miss you too. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely come back to see you. "After that, he turned around and continued his work for the day.
Looking at Dumby's tall silhouette, Uncle Feng Nu sighed and murmured, "Yeah! How can a person like you live such an ordinary life? Go, go and wander around in your world. If one day, you are tired, this place will be your shelter. "
Dumby's back trembled slightly, but he did not stop and continued on his way.
As night fell, the people of the Swift Wind Tribe returned to their tents to rest. The Great Prairie, which was bustling during the day, had fallen into silence. The temperature at night was much lower than during the day. Only the fire in the tents could bring warmth to the Yalian people who had worked hard for the whole day. Dumby packed up his belongings in the tent. These ten days of hard work had earned him three sets of ordinary clothes and enough food. He stored all these things into the Blood of the Dragon God. He touched the Hell King Sword on his chest and took a deep look at Uncle Feng Nu who seemed to be sleeping soundly. He sighed softly and quietly left the tent.
