The withering of the Tree of God was a heavy blow to the forest. The black seal continued to affect the forest, turning the place into a pitiful place.
This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the elves and the Garu race. Moreover, the seal was not complete. Since the Demon King Oro had a way to resist the seal, it had a way to let its magic seep out and destroy the seal itself.
This was very unfortunate news. If it broke the seal, the elves would no longer be able to fight against it, and the Garu would not have enough people to seal it again.
The two races would face destruction and displacement, but they did not despair because there was still hope.
Linnaeus stood at the entrance of the forest with a red heart of the Tree of God. Food was hanging from his shoulder, wrapped in leaves like dumplings. This was the elves' dry food, which could be stored for a long time. It was very suitable to be eaten during the journey. A dozen dumplings were tied to a rope, making Reina look like she was carrying a row of bullets. Her small body looked a little funny.
Kory knelt on one knee in front of Reina and helped her tidy up her clothes. She also gave her an elf hat, hoping that it would help her along the way.
"Be careful. Follow Sister Dodoro. Don't touch or eat anything strange. Do you understand?
"Okay."
"If you encounter a scary monster, make sure you're safe. If you can't move forward, just come back. Don't force yourself."
"Okay."
She kept nagging like an old mother. She was thinking that when her daughter had drowned, she was probably around this age as well.
"Even though I'm not the real Elven King, I hope my blessings will be of some help to you." Kory stroked Reina's cheeks and smiled, "Even though I'm not the real Elven King, I hope my blessings can help you a little."
With that, she kissed Reina's face.
Suddenly, another wave of elven energy entered Linnai's body. In that instant, Linnai's hair floated up, and the surrounding leaves floated up and flew behind her.
The Elf King's blessing.
It was a power that humans could only dream of. It could expel diseases and increase magic power, and each Elf King's blessing was different.
And the blessing that Kukri gave was the darling of nature.
A green leaf appeared in Reina's eyes.
Nature's favorite, she would feel comfortable in any weather. Being in contact with trees would allow her to quickly recover her magic and heal her wounds. Ordinary beasts would not attack her, and she would not be bitten by mosquitoes in the wild. Herbs would have the greatest effect on her body.
Then, the most important thing for Reina was that she would not get lost in a place with plants. They would guide her.
"Eh? I also want a blessing. "
Dodoro stepped out from behind Reina and said after seeing the Mana around her.
"Dodoro, as an elf, you should know that elves can't bless other elves …" Klink sighed and spoke in a light tone.
"But I'm half human! Maybe I can get half the blessings. "
Dodoro argued.
"…"
A shadow appeared on Kukri's face. She could not argue with the newcomer. She was still a child according to the age of the elves, so she could be forgiven for being naughty.
The Elf King's blessing would not be given to others so easily. Only those who were recognized by the Elf King and had done the elves a great favor were qualified to receive the blessing.
Also, no one in history had ever received the blessing of the Elf King twice. Reina was the first one.
In the end, Kukri could not persuade Dodoro. In order to ensure that Reina would do her job well, Kukri pretended to give Reina her blessing and kissed her on the cheek. In fact, the blessing did not work. However, Kukri did not know that. Instead, she happily led Reina into the dangerous Dark Forest.
…
"We're almost there. I can see the city gate."
Raas carefully drove the carriage. He was very focused, and his eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings.
Beasts and bandits could be lurking around. He was too conspicuous with such a shiny carriage.
However, to his surprise, a man with a dog's head appeared in his field of vision. It was wearing clothes and holding a weapon like a soldier.
In that instant, a wave of fear caused Raas's eyes to widen to their maximum. He held his breath.
A demon!
Fear made his heart beat extremely fast.
Oh no! There's a demon here!
Raas looked at the demon from the corner of his eyes. It was indeed standing in the forest and looking at him with terrifying eyes. (Actually, it was just a glance.)
Oh no, what should I do now?
He tightened his grip on the reins.
Run?
It's less than ten minutes away from the city. Yes! I just have to get to the city! The soldiers there will be able to help me!
At this moment, a drop of cold sweat appeared on Raas's forehead. His pupils contracted, and he suddenly took a deep breath and let out a gasp.
"Hyah!!"
He opened his mouth wide and shouted the loudest he had ever shouted in his life.
The horse let out a neigh and suddenly brought the carriage to a gallop. Although the road looked very flat, it was inevitable that there would be one or two stones. When the wheels rolled over the stones, they would feel as if they were flying, and then their buttocks would land heavily.
"What? What's wrong? Brother Raas? "
Mache suddenly asked from inside the carriage. She was also very jolted.
"Nothing! Don't come out. It'll be over soon! Hold on! "
Raas shouted. He didn't know how excited he sounded. He opened his eyes wide and looked ahead. He arched his back and gritted his teeth.
I must get out! I must get out!
He kept repeating this sentence in his heart. On both sides of his vision, the scenery flew past quickly. He didn't care to admire the scenery and ran all the way to the city.
However!
"Stop!! Stop!! Stop!!! "
Raas held on to the reins tightly. This made the horse very angry. It neighed and shook its head violently, trying to throw Raas out.
However, after Raas fell once, he had experience. He found a belt under his seat. He used it to buckle himself so that he wouldn't be thrown out. That was why he could still sit safely in the carriage.
But now, his face was pale and he looked desperate.
The city gate was in front of him, but he didn't dare to go in. He didn't dare to get close because he saw that there were demons guarding the city gate.
Sure enough, there was no free lunch in the world. He had been deceived. This was a trap! The two of them were sacrificial offerings to the Demon Race!
What to do? What to do!
Just as Raas was panicking, a voice suddenly pulled him back to reality.
"Hey, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go in."
Abby's voice came from behind. Raas seemed to have grabbed onto a life-saving straw. He turned around and saw two furry ears sticking out of the carriage curtain. A big white rabbit appeared behind him.
"Ah! Ah!!! Strange! Monster!! "
Raas screamed and fell from the carriage. Abby was a demon. The reason why she wrapped herself so tightly was to hide her identity.
"What are you screaming for! Do I look scary? Are you looking for a beating! "
Abby said unhappily.
Raas stood up from the ground. He didn't know why, but he suddenly became angry. "You! What did you do to Mache! Where's Mache! "
Hearing this, Mache suddenly came out from Abby's side.
"Brother Raas, sister Abby is a good person. She saved me."
She said.
It turned out that the only person who didn't know was Raas.
He was stunned. He even suspected that Mache was being controlled from time to time. Or, the real Mache was already dead and this Mache was just a fake. How could Mache dare to stay with the terrifying demons? She was famous for being timid.
"Mache, are you Mache? Are you really Mache? "
Raas was a bit broken. He didn't dare to get close and hid next to the horse.
"I am. Cough, cough. Brother Raas, what's wrong?"
Mache said in panic.
Raas wiped his tears and asked, "Then let me ask you, when did you get the scar on your left foot!"
Hearing this, Mache was stunned. Then she smiled and said, "Third young man, on my birthday, brother Raas and cousin Yi Qi took me to the forest to pick fruits. Although you let me watch from below, I couldn't help but climb up with you. Then I accidentally fell down. Although it hurt, I was really happy … "
"Enough. I believe you are Mache."
Raas showed a bitter expression. He looked like he was about to cry, but he clenched his teeth and held it in. He looked up and looked at the rabbit person who was sitting on the carriage and ready to drive at any time.
"What do you want to do to us?"
Abby rolled her eyes and suddenly bared her teeth at Raas. "This rabbit will eat you and use your bones to make soup! Human soup is the best to drink! "
Raas was so scared that his face turned pale. He suddenly clenched his teeth and pulled out a sharpened iron bar from his body. He shouted, "I'll kill you!"
Then he rushed towards Abby.
"Brother Raas, no!"
Ma Qi wanted to stop them, but he was held down by Abby. Abby stepped on Raas's forehead and kicked him. Raas was sent flying without any resistance.
The guards at the door looked at them and even made small sounds. Raas, who was dizzy from the fall, stood up from the ground. He gasped for breath. The pain on his body made it difficult for him to be tough.
"Hey, how long are you going to stand there? Are you coming in or not? If not, I'm leaving. I don't have that much time to waste with you."
Abby said unhurriedly.
"Brother Raas, she's a good person. Trust me."
Mache shouted.
Raas stood in place. He found it hard to accept. Humans had an innate fear and hatred for demons. It was very difficult for a teenager to overcome this.
"Forget it. Don't talk about leaving like this. It'll be good enough if he doesn't cry and piss his pants." Abby suddenly said.
Raas clenched his fists and clenched his teeth. "Let's go. I'm not afraid of you!"
With that, he braced himself and got on the carriage. Since Abby was sitting in his original seat, he could only sit to the side with his back facing the two.
Ah Bi glanced at the honest young man and secretly smiled. Then, he shook the reins of his horse.
"Let's go!"
The carriage moved forward and entered the city with the demon race.
In the process, Raas was surprised to find that there were human guards besides demon guards at the city gate. This was a very strange thing. Shouldn't humans and demons be at loggerheads? Why would they appear in the same place?
Raas felt a little confused.
After entering the city, the most common sound was the sound of wheels, but it was not bustling. There were many demons here, but there were also many humans. They worked together with the demons. Some were cleaning up the streets, some were setting up stalls. The stalls selling snacks were mostly humans, while the stalls selling vegetables and meat were mostly demons, and there was more than one kind.
Raas saw the same rabbit people as Abby. They were wearing different clothes and were shopping on the streets like humans. There was also a big and a small hand holding hands, like a human mother and son.
Seeing this scene, Raas's fearful heart suddenly relaxed a little.
Soon, they came to a large building. It was a round building, like a tower. There were many marble pillars outside, and there was a garden and a fountain around it. It was very beautiful.
"We're here. You two wait in the carriage. Don't run around, or else the monsters will eat you …"
"Abby!! You're back! "
Just as Abby was scaring the two human children, a big sister with chestnut hair, fair skin, and wearing a very beautiful dress ran over. Myr hugged Abby and took a deep breath in his arms.
"Eh? Myr, what's wrong? Did some blind rabbit bully you? Let me beat it to death! "
Abby suddenly said.
"No, I missed you too much. Ah ~ You don't know, there's a lot of work to do here. I work until late at night every day. Oh, I want to eat your cooking …"
Myr complained in Abby's arms. Raas, who was watching from the side, was stunned. Why would such a beautiful big sister appear in this place? Looking at her clothes, she seemed to be a noble. Even Machi, who was behind him, could not help but say, "What a beautiful big sister."
After complaining for a while, Myr suddenly noticed the young man beside her. She had never seen this young man before. At least among the hundred people, there was no young man of this age.
"He is?"
"Oh, the chosen leader. But he's so timid that he even peed his pants."
Abby waved his hand and said.
"I didn't pee!"
The young man shouted with a red face. He did not know why, but he was relieved. Perhaps it was because there was a human like him here.
Seeing this, Myr smiled and extended her hand to Raas, saying, "Hello young man, I'm Myr, the city lord here. The City of Exchanges welcomes you!"
Hearing this, the young man showed a surprised expression.
"You!! You're the boss here?! "
Seeing his stunned expression, Abby laughed and said, "Yes, you didn't expect it, did you? She's a very powerful witch, the kind that eats children!"
The young man Raas had just extended his hand and suddenly retracted it.
"Abby, don't scare him. He's so pitiful and he's covered in injuries." Myr said.
Then she turned her head and extended her hand again, saying, "Don't worry, I'm just like you. We're both normal humans. The demons here are also good demons. So, please don't worry."
Hearing this, the young man looked at her doubtfully. At this time, Machi behind him coughed twice.
He immediately came back to his senses and his eyes became firm. He looked at Myr and suddenly jumped off the carriage and knelt on the ground, saying, "City Lord! Please save Machi! "
