After hearing Cha Mo's request for help, Xu Sili naturally attached great importance to it.
Not to mention his relationship with Little Ash, without her reminder, the Senos and his brother would have been taken away by the Bevateans.
No matter what, he would never forget this kindness.
"What's Ah Sheng's situation now?" Xu Sili asked.
Cha Mo's face was a little haggard.
Previously, in the elven territory, in order to protect Ah Sheng and the Tree of Life, he had forcefully cut open space to deal with the galactic beasts, which had caused his old injuries to relapse.
For more than a month, he had been worried about the unconscious Ah Sheng and did not have enough time to rest. His own situation was not optimistic either.
However, Cha Mo did not say much and only briefly explained the problem that Ah Sheng was facing.
"In order to save itself, the Tree of Life purified Ah Sheng's bloodline and gave her the position of Elf Queen. After that, it connected its fate with Ah Sheng's."
Cha Mo explained, "Ideally, the seed of the Tree of Life will grow with Ah Sheng, which is actually a good thing for Ah Sheng."
The Tree of Life was a very powerful tree, and Ah Sheng had the royal elf bloodline.
The two complemented each other, which was only beneficial to Ah Sheng. It could also fight for a glimmer of hope for the continuation of the forest elves. It was a win-win situation.
"It's a pity that Ah Sheng is too young."
Cha Mo said regretfully.
"Her strength is weak, so she is more affected by the Tree of Life …"
"So, when the seed of the Tree of Life enters a deep sleep, Ah Sheng is unable to provide the energy for it to germinate and grow. That's why she is sleeping with the seed, right?"
Xu Sili continued.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Cha Mo nodded. "That's the general situation."
As for why he was asking for help … Xu Sili understood after thinking for a while.
"You're here for 'Germinal'?" he asked.
"Yes."
Cha Mo did not deny that he was indeed here for Germinal. He said, "Perhaps Your Majesty does not understand —"
"The song 'Germinal' was actually composed by an elf. Later, a human musician wrote the lyrics, and it slowly spread until it finally became a folk song."
"I happened to have heard of it before. I taught Ah Sheng this song when she was very young."
He just didn't expect that this song, or this piece of music, would play such a big role in the hands of His Majesty.
When Xu Sili heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He really didn't know the origin of this.
The note of the Germinal skill was the folk song of Eshe Star, so it did not necessarily belong to the Roland Empire. It was also possible that it came from an ancient country that had been destroyed.
If what Cha Mo said was true, then it would explain his previous doubts.
Why was it that after he made "Germinal" popular and heard so many people sing it, only when Ah Sheng sang this song did he feel a sense of vitality?
Because this was originally a song that belonged to the Elves.
"I understand."
Xu Sili nodded. "Where's Ah Sheng? Let's go and try it together. "
He couldn't just leave her alone, and now there was no reason to decline.
"Ah Sheng is in Her Highness Qiong's bedroom. Your Majesty and the marshal, please go ahead first. I'll be there soon."
Cha Mo bowed slightly and said respectfully.
Xu Sili looked at him suspiciously and casually used [Insight] on him. Only then did he realize that Cha Mo's injuries were actually more serious.
He was clearly almost recovered before …
He shook his head and threw two bottles of blood medicine to Cha Mo. Then, he let Si Sheng take him and leave in a flash.
Cha Mo looked at the blood medicine that the little Emperor threw over and slowly sighed.
He didn't try to be brave anymore. He opened the bottle and silently took one. After feeling a little better, he lifted his feet and prepared to leave. In the end …
A crack suddenly appeared in mid-air, and a pure black figure jumped out from it.
The shadow leopard stood in place and looked at him, then turned around unwillingly and said, "Come up, Master asked me to bring you over."
Cha Mo looked at him and smiled lightly.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, little Jiu Yue." He climbed onto the shadow leopard's back without hesitation and sat firmly with his legs clamped together.
Hearing the joy in his voice, Jiu Yue couldn't help but grit his teeth and feel sullen. However, when he was running, he ran very steadily and didn't jump up and down to deliberately tease him.
Cha Mo also noticed this and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Then, he sensed something and smiled. "Little Jiu Yue's strength seems to have improved recently."
"Hmph."
Jiu Yue awkwardly snorted and ignored him.
Cha Mo didn't find it strange and was still in a good mood to tease him. This made the shadow leopard so angry that its fur was about to explode.
Fortunately, Her Highness Qiong's bedroom wasn't far. With his speed, he arrived in less than two minutes.
"Go down."
At the entrance of the palace, Jiu Yue coldly said.
Cha Mo still had a smile on his face. He also knew his priorities. Now was not the time to play with the kitten, Ah Sheng's matter was more important.
However, when he got down and walked two steps, he heard the shadow leopard call out to him.
Cha Mo turned around and saw the black leopard squatting on the ground. It looked away and said in a fierce voice, "Give me your hand."
He blinked and did as he was told.
The black leopard's nimble long tail stretched over, and when the tip of its tail stretched out, a few shiny crystals fell on Cha Mo's fair palm.
"What are these?" Cha Mo played with the crystals and asked.
"Galactic Beast's Star Core. Think of a way to absorb it, it's good for you."
Jiu Yue lowered his voice and said awkwardly.
These Star Cores were one or two stars. Previously, Master had killed tens of thousands of Galactic Beasts in Lan Yue City and collected all the Star Cores.
In the end, he felt that those Star Cores were too small, so he threw them into the contract space and let Jiu Yue pick out the big ones. The rest were left to him.
At first, he felt that those Star Cores took up space in the contract space and disturbed his sleep, but he did not dare to throw them away. In the end, he coincidentally absorbed one and found that this Star Core contained very pure energy.
This was also the reason why his strength that had recently reached a bottleneck suddenly loosened.
Although he was not sure if this energy was useful for Cha Mo's injuries, he would know after trying.
After Jiu Yue finished explaining, he saw Cha Mo looking at him with a smile. He said gently, "Okay, I'll try it tonight. Thank you, Jiu Yue."
Seeing his smile, Jiu Yue froze.
"You …"
"Momo! You're back! "
At this moment, a clear and tender voice sounded. Then, a blue-haired, blue-eyed boy ran out of the palace with his short legs.
Xiao Haige ran happily to Cha Mo's side. When she saw the shadow leopard, she immediately hugged Cha Mo's leg and hid behind him. Then, she carefully poked her head out.
After coming to the human world for a few months, she learned the language very quickly. Now, she could speak a lot.
At this moment, the little mermaid opened her round blue eyes and curiously sized up the shadow leopard.
She had never seen Jiu Yue's beast form before, but the familiar smell of the shadow leopard made her feel at ease, so she did not cry.
Jiu Yue glanced at her and pouted. Then, he jumped to the top of the palace and squatted there to guard. He did not intend to follow them into the bedroom.
Cha Mo looked up at his figure. After a while, he lowered his head and carried Xiao Haige. He smiled and said, "Let's go in."
"Okay!"
The little boy nodded obediently.
In the bedroom, Xu Sili and Si Sheng had already arrived at Ah Sheng's room.
The little girl was lying on her side on the bed. Her body was still curled up, and she was hugging a fist-sized seed tightly in her arms. It seemed that she had been in this position for a long time.
Her little face was slightly pale.
When they came in, Xiao Qiong's white cat was squatting by the bed and looking at her. When it heard the noise, it meowed and hid under the bed.
When Xiao Qiong left with Vir, he left the cat behind. Even when they were in outer space, he would often send messages back to ask about Little Ash's situation.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, Marshal!"
The maid guarding at the side quickly bowed to them. Then, she was dismissed by Xu Sili with a wave of his hand.
He came to the bedside and touched her forehead. Then, he wanted to hold the little girl's hand. However, he found that she was hugging the seed tightly and did not relax at all.
Xu Sili did not dare to use too much force. Seeing this, he could only give up.
Seeing Little Ash like this, it was no wonder that Cha Mo was so worried. He was already very patient to wait until the end of the Monster Wave to ask for help.
Then, Xu Sili used Inspect on the little girl.
[Ah Sheng]
Identity: NPC with special talents, Elf Queen
Bloodline: Forest Elf
Level: Lv10
Health Points: 4500/95000
Magic Power: 808/9,000
Elemental Affinity: Wood
Special Talent: Elemental Attraction (No matter where you are, the concentration of elements within 10 meters will increase by 100%, and the concentration of wood elements will increase by 150%)
Special Status: Symbiotic (Share life with the Tree of Life, can be removed voluntarily), Deep Sleep, Weakened
Compared to the last time, there were two additional statuses, Deep Sleep and Weakened. If Xu Sili remembered correctly, her maximum Health Points had decreased.
Previously, he had restored her Health Points to full, but now, her Health Points had dropped again, or even worse.
According to his experience, the maximum Health Points should be related to the lifespan of an NPC. This meant that in the process of nourishing the Tree of Life, Ah Sheng's lifespan was slowly decreasing.
Her situation was indeed not optimistic.
Xu Sili did not waste any more time. He took out the God of Music's flute from the storage capsule and gently played it.
The melody of the Germinal Flute, full of vitality, sounded. Xu Sili did not divert his attention to control the range of the skill. Instead, he put all his attention into this song.
In his mind, the scene of the first time he heard Ah Sheng sing this song appeared again.
The little girl was like a real elf, shuttling through the fields without a care in the world. Her song was full of vitality, making him deeply attracted the moment he heard it.
And now, he was returning this feeling to her.
The sound elements became active.
There was no need for him to control them at all. They turned into little elves and surrounded the little girl. A faint purple light enveloped the little girl's body.
Her Health Points slowly recovered, and her face gradually became rosy.
Cha Mo quickly walked in from outside the room. When he saw this scene, he could not help but sigh in relief.
He did not disturb him and silently retreated to the side with Xiao Haige in his arms.
On the other hand, the little mermaid, who had a talent for sound, could not help but hum along when she heard this song.
With her participation, the sound elements in the room became more active. A few flower pots on the windowsill that were originally bare actually sprouted tender green seedlings in the blink of an eye.
The seedlings were still growing, and in a short while, they were lush and green. They even attracted birds to stand on the windowsill and listen to this song full of vitality.
However, although Little Ash's situation improved, the seed of the Tree of Life did not show any signs of recovery.
As long as the seed of the Tree of Life did not germinate, Ah Sheng would not wake up.
Xu Sili was not discouraged. After the song ended, he continued to play.
He played it again and again.
Until the sun gradually set in the west, the seed of the Tree of Life did not move at all.
Cha Mo went from being excited at the beginning to being disappointed and worried in the end. His mood could be said to be fluctuating, but he did not dare to say anything.
When the sky was completely dark, he finally spoke and persuaded Xu Sili to stop.
"Your Majesty, please rest for a while."
Xu Sili put down his piccolo and turned to look at him.
Cha Mo smiled, his eyes filled with sincere gratitude. "Based on Ah Sheng's breathing, her situation should have stabilized. Her life should not be in danger for the time being."
"Your Majesty, thank you for what you have done for Ah Sheng."
Xu Sili pursed his lips. Fatigue and frustration made him unable to muster up any energy.
On the bedside table beside him, there were many small empty blue bottles. They were all potions that he used to replenish his magic power when his mana bar was empty.
However, after playing so many times, the seed of the Tree of Life still did not move at all. This inevitably made him depressed.
"Your Majesty." Beside him, Si Sheng also wanted to say something.
Xu Sili sighed. All he could do was reach out and stroke the top of Little Ash's head. Then, he nodded and said, "I'll come back tomorrow."
In his current state, he could not play his best song. He really did need to rest for a while.
Just then, there was a commotion outside the room.
Sirene was pushing Senos in a wheelchair into the room.
Xu Sili was stunned. He hurriedly walked over and asked, "Brother, sister, what happened?"
"Nothing. Don't worry." Sirene comforted him. "We saw that you didn't come for dinner again, so we asked and found out that you were here. So, we came to take a look."
"Zuiying has already explained to us."
She looked at the little girl on the bed and asked, "How is Ah Sheng now?"
Sirene had met Ah Sheng before. When she found out that Senos could only return because of her reminder, she was very grateful to Ah Sheng.
During the fight against the Beast Tide, she always found time to come back and visit her with Senos. That was why she was in a coma.
At that moment, Senos also frowned and said, "I tried to heal her.
"I cast Healing Stream on her a few times, but it didn't work."
Seeing how worried the two of them were, Xu Sili sighed again. Then, he explained the situation to them.
"The Germination Spell that can awaken Xiao Wu's consciousness also has no effect on Ah Sheng?"
Senos muttered.
Then, his gaze fell on the flower pots on the windowsill and the grass outside the window. Because Xu Sili had been playing for a whole day, the plants were more or less exposed to the light.
They were already well taken care of, and now, they were growing even better. Some of them even reached the height of people's thighs.
Senos thought of something and looked at Xu Sili. "Your Majesty, do you think it has something to do with the environment?"
"Environment?"
Xu Sili blinked.
At that moment, Si Sheng, who was standing beside him, whispered, "Maybe it's because the concentration of water and wood elements is not high enough."
Xu Sili couldn't help but look at him.
Si Sheng said, "You can try to close your eyes and look with your spiritual power."
That was what he was about to tell him.
Hearing that, Xu Sili quickly extended his spiritual power. Then …
He was drowned in sound elements.
The whole room was filled with light purple sound elements. It was so dense that it was like a sea of sound elements. The other elements were squeezed out of space, leaving only a pitiful little space.
And in this little space, blue water elements and green wood elements made up the majority.
Xu Sili couldn't help but open his eyes.
Was it because sound elements occupied the space of other elements?
For a seed to germinate, other than its own nutrients, water and wood elements were the most important. Without these two elements, it would be strange if the seed of the Tree of Life could germinate!
"Then …" Xu Sili looked at Si Sheng.
Si Sheng nodded. "Let's go to the wilderness tomorrow."
The Tree of Life was the foundation of the elf tribe. It was not suitable for it to take root in the imperial city.
"Okay! Let's try it out in the wilderness tomorrow. "
Unexpectedly, there was a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel. His gloomy mood from not being able to find the root of the problem was suddenly cleared up.
Cha Mo, who was beside him, rekindled his hope.
After that, they discussed the problem of where to try it out. After finalizing the final location, they left to make their own preparations.
The next morning, when Xu Sili and the others arrived at Xiao Qiong's bedroom again, Cha Mo was already waiting at the door with Little Ash. Sirene was standing beside him.
Thus, they boarded the shuttle together and left the imperial city, heading in the direction of the Amos Mountains.
As his legs were still not very nimble, the Senos did not follow him. However, with Sirene as the mouthpiece, he did not have to worry too much.
The reason why he chose the Amos Mountains was that most of the interstellar beasts had been cleared. Furthermore, the terrain was complex and sparsely populated, making it more suitable for the elves to live in seclusion.
Most importantly, the Amos Mountains were densely covered with forests. The three elements of water, earth, and wood were the most concentrated here, which should satisfy the requirements for the Tree of Life to germinate.
Once the Tree of Life took root, the surroundings would become a new elven territory. To avoid being cleaned up by the players, Xu Sili specially chose a canyon far away from the Amos trial.
Coincidentally, there was a pool formed by a mountain spring in the canyon. The vegetation was also relatively intact and was not too damaged by the interstellar beasts.
After clearing the interstellar beasts in the canyon, Xu Sili threw a few cards at the entrance of the canyon.
Under the stacking of different formations, the entrance of the canyon was completely hidden. After doing this simple arrangement, he then started to play the Germinal Song.
Ah Sheng was placed on the grass by Cha Mo. Her hands were still hugging the seed tightly, as if she would not let go even if she died.
This time, while Xu Sili was playing, he also paid attention to the changes in the surrounding elements with his mental power.
The Sound Elements were the first to become active.
They surrounded Little Ah Sheng and danced around the seed. It was as if they were telling it, "Wake up, wake up! Come and play with us!"
On the third play, Xu Sili finally noticed a change.
He saw that the seed, which had been motionless all this time, suddenly released a few green light spots. Those were clearly the Wood Elements.
Then, the Wood Elements in the canyon became active.
They gathered and squeezed, and finally squeezed through the encirclement of the Sound Elements and landed on the seed.
Xu Sili was worried that the Sound Elements were too dense, so he quickly stopped playing. However, when the song stopped …
The seed did not move again?
He could not help but be speechless. What kind of lazy thing is this? Does it need someone to drag it until it wakes up?
Xu Sili had no choice but to play again.
Following the call of the Sound Elements, the seed, which had been silent, finally started to move again.
First, the lively Wood Elements squeezed their way into the encirclement. Then, it was the turn of the Water Elements. Unfortunately, the Water Elements seemed to have swallowed a little and did not squeeze their way in for a long time.
Xu Sili observed carefully. In the end, he separated a strand of his mental power and carefully pushed the Sound Elements away. This allowed the Water Elements to enter the center area.
He had never expected that waking up a seed would be such a delicate task. This was a serious challenge to his mental power.
He also did not expect that this process would last for another day. Fortunately, just as he was about to give up, a dark golden energy carefully entered.
That familiar energy made him, who was already dizzy, unable to resist at all.
Finally, at dawn the next day, when the first ray of sunlight broke through the horizon, Little Ash's hands, which had been tightly hugging the seed, suddenly loosened.
The fist-sized seed gently fell on the grass, and a crack appeared on its hard shell.
The grass around the seed began to wither rapidly. Finally, with the seed as the center, it spread to all the vegetation in the canyon.
At this time, Xu Sili's control was no longer needed.
The seed of the Tree of Life began to spontaneously absorb all the elements required for its growth and development. Moreover, the absorption speed was increasing.
Xu Sili felt as if he was in an elemental whirlpool. He felt as if he would be sucked away at any moment.
The first to feel uncomfortable was Sirene.
She felt the water in her body rapidly depleting. This quickly made her feel uneasy. She was just about to warn the others when the next moment, a light screen enveloped her body.
The rapid depleting of water immediately disappeared.
She looked up blankly and saw that Cha Mo's body was also enveloped by a light screen. The young man standing at the front was already being hugged by the blonde man.
Sirene almost instantly guessed whose masterpiece this light screen was.
This feeling was very strange.
Although she acknowledged Si Sheng's strength as a Marshal and did not object to him being together with her younger brother, in fact, she still had a trace of distrust towards him.
This was because she could feel the coldness in Si Sheng's bones.
That was a true coldness that did not put others in his eyes. Only when he was facing Snow would the emotions in his eyes become more intense.
As an expert, he indeed had the qualifications and strength to disregard everything. However, this did not prevent Sirene from feeling that he was not a good person.
However, this kind of thinking changed at this moment.
Sirene's intuition told her that with Si Sheng's true personality, he might not even care about her and Cha Mo's life and death. The reason why he saved them …
Sirene's gaze once again turned towards the silver-haired young man.
It was probably because Snow cared about them, right?
It had to be said that Sirene's intuition was very accurate.
Si Sheng did indeed give them a protective shield because of Xu Sili. However, the one to be protected was mainly Sirene.
This was because this seed of the Tree of Life seemed to have consciously avoided Xu Sili and Cha Mo. As for Si Sheng … because his aura was too strong, he chose to avoid him at the first moment.
Xu Sili did not know the dangers involved. However, when he saw the rapidly withering vegetation in the canyon, he could not help but rejoice.
Fortunately, the Tree of Life did not sprout in the Imperial Palace. Otherwise, the entire Imperial Palace would be in danger! Just thinking about that scene made him feel a lingering fear.
Finally, under their gazes, that seed completely broke apart. Its developed roots rapidly dug into the ground and then sprouted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When it grew to a height of more than a meter, the sapling finally stopped growing as if it had exhausted all its strength.
At the same time, a light green vitality was released from the sapling.
Under the influence of this vitality, the originally withered vegetation in the canyon once again recovered. Green leaves grew and then, in the midst of the lush greenery, flowers of various colors bloomed.
In the end, the barren canyon became a sea of flowers. Being in the middle of it was like being in a paradise.
At the same time, far away in Star Catcher City, the player Lan Xiaoyin who was searching for his fellow elves also received a system notification.
[Ding. The Tree of Life has successfully recovered. Your contribution: 0. Please find the Elven Queen as soon as possible and swear your loyalty. Otherwise, the main quest will be judged as a failure.]
