When Nostradamus found Joshua, the warrior was in the underground vault of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Grounds, drinking with the avatar of the Nature Mentor.

"Elves are a race whose bloodline roots are easily changed, and in the distant past, our ancestors were influenced by the Father of Nature to become elves, and then adapted to the environment of the forest, perhaps because of this, when elves leave the forest and go to other regions, they will always easily evolve into a physique suitable for the local environment."

Galanod was wearing a navy blue petal dress at this time, although she was holding a wine glass in her hand, but the wine glass was honey water, she seemed to be talking to Joshua about the problems related to bloodline transformation, and now she was sighing: "Forest elves, plain elves, northland elves, and far-sea elves...... There are also dark elves who just returned some time ago, each of which is the result of the elven bloodline due to the rapid changes in the local environment. ”

"The cause of this mutation, if found, would be a blessing for all races." On the side, Joshua listened silently, and only after the nature mentor finished speaking, he nodded in agreement: "The adaptability of the elves is indeed the best in the McCrove world, and it is no wonder that they are the first race to prepare for multiverse colonization. ”

"That's all in the past, and now we can only shrink to the far south." Shaking his head with a smile, Garanord turned his head to look at Nostradamus who was standing aside, and then chuckled: "Ah, the master is here too." ”

"Of course I'm coming."

Reluctantly smiling at the Nature Mentor, Nostradamus turned his head, forcibly changed his expression, and then said to Joshua with a straight face: "Count Radcliffe, do you know or not, you just ......"

"I solved the downtime problem of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground."

Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Joshua replied simply: "The coordinates of the world where the elite team is now are also in my hands. ”

"Ahem—okay...... bar. Suddenly, Nostradamus Xingshi's momentum of questioning was vented: "I know that although you seem to have no brains, you still do things in an orderly manner...... Where are they now? ”

As much as possible, he didn't care about the natural mentor covering his mouth and chuckling and Joshua's expression of doubt, the old mage walked to the table where the two of them were, and used magic to build a chair and sit down, Nostradamus didn't know if it was to bring the topic or if it was really urgent, so he asked in a hurry: "Now is not the time to hesitate, who can not know if they are still alive now!" Where are the coordinates of the world, if you want to save it, hurry up! ”

"Alive...... Not much danger for now. While my steel power can't be connected, I'm at least sure that the repair beam hasn't been destroyed. ”

Joshua nodded, then shook his head: "The problem is, the coordinates I know are the coordinates of 1,200 years ago, and now the world is in turmoil, God knows if that world is still in its original position, and rushing to find it is like looking for a needle in a haystack." ”

What's more, because of the time expansion effect, the 1,200 years of the McCroft world may be equal to the thousands of years at the edge of the world's galaxy - thousands of years are enough time for a group of primitive people who use stone tools to drink blood and become polite cultural people who can fly out of the atmosphere.

"It's better to look for it than not to look for it."

Hearing this, Nostradamus knew what the problem was, so he just sighed: "After all, there is a problem with the return beacon I made, if something bad happens to these little guys...... It's really unsettling. ”

Joshua understood the feeling.

Most of the legends in the world of McCrove are not on the same level as 'good guys' in the usual sense, but without exception, all of them have a sense of responsibility. Although most of this sense of responsibility is only for one's own clan, the power in which oneself is located, it is sufficient.

"I'm here mainly to ask the Nature Mentor if I can borrow the star map stored in the 'Seed of the World Tree'...... Now, it's probably the sapling of the World Tree. ”

Joshua calmly explained to Nostradamus: "Most of the star maps stored in the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground are wrong, there is a time gap of thousands of years, although teleportation can be teleported, but it is not helpful to find people. On the contrary, it is the star map sent by the Father of Nature some time ago, although there are also errors, but in general, the star map of the recent period has been corrected. ”

"By comparing two star maps, we can find out the trajectory of the galaxy, and then find the world coordinates we need - as long as Your Excellency Nature Mentor is willing to ......"

"Is there anything to refuse this, the original World Tree Seed was brought back by you." In this regard, Garanord reluctantly took a sip of honey water, shook his head and smiled: "It's just such a small thing, it's a little effort." What's more, with Count Radcliffe's relationship with you, if you wish, I will agree to more excessive things. ”

At this point, the natural mentor smiled meaninglessly and raised the wine glass in his hand at Joshua.

"Really?" However, in the shocked expression of Nostradamus, Joshua suddenly frowned, he raised his glass and clinked glasses with the Nature Mentor, and said with a smile: "In this case, if there are three legends who go to find the lost little ones, they will definitely be flattered." ”

Garanord: "...... Hey? ”

Just when the three legendary powerhouses on the other side of time and space were ready to set off.

In the edge of the world, among the elven tribes of the Beholders, in a bright underground cavern.

"This is my home!"

With a neutral, not at all girl-like voice echoing through the cavern, Priest followed Sur's footsteps into the other's home.

Although it is said to be a home, in fact, it is just a relatively large ventilation cave located around the roots of the mother tree of life.

After walking through the small corridor, Priest discovers that the cavern located around the roots of the mother tree does indeed have a large amount of gentle magic, which can promote the development and growth of various creatures, and even give them extraordinary affinity for the power of nature, just like most elves.

Perhaps this is the truth that the elves are affinity with the power of nature, not by blood, but by the influence of the living environment.

But there is no point in thinking about it so much, because the study of the customs of the otherworldly elves can be postponed a little, and it is Sur who invited him to his house as a guest today.

Speaking of which, I have to talk about what happened not long ago, after Priest talked to the deercrown elf.

After knowing that the otherworldly elves resisted the Chaos Erosion by concentrating most of the Chaos Erosion on a few people, killing them and then completely eliminating them, Priest understood why, after so much time, these elves still did not improve in terms of technology.

Think about it.

A tribe with no worries about food and clothing, a favorable environment, a comfortable place to live, no natural enemies around, no contradictions inside because of the spiritual network, and also because of the sharing of knowledge and knowledge, so there is no curiosity about the unknown and unseen, and all the technologies are enough.

Sounds excessive, but is this really the perfect start for the development of civilization?

The answer, of course, is no.

Too perfect an environment will stop civilization, especially if this perfect environment is still an island.

On the small islands in the far south of the sea, there are many indigenous islanders, who live in the tropics and are also remnants of the shelter a thousand years ago, and they can spend a year comfortably by fishing and picking fruits without much hard work.

But the same remnants who came out of the shelter, the civilizations on the Microf continent have all developed to the void multiverse, and the islanders are still the islanders, still living a comfortable, monkey-like life, and they haven't even invented the wheel.

And these elves in the other world, not only do they also have no motivation to develop, they don't even have internal contradictions, because their spirits are connected together, they can sense each other's sadness and indignation, and everyone is united, so that the tribe has not been divided for thousands of years - until here, in fact, it is okay, it's not that it can't develop, it's just that the development is a little slow, but the most terrible thing is that the elves get rid of the otherworldly disease is actually at the cost of the voluntary sacrifice of the strong people in the clan.

Yes, everyone's spirit is connected, so the strong are willing to sacrifice, and the weak are also sad and revered from the heart, but when the word 'strong' itself is equivalent to 'sacrifice', will anyone really want to be strong? Although everyone doesn't mind sacrifice, they naturally won't go against their natural instincts, voluntarily become stronger, and then go to death, right?

The last path of elven development was also forbidden by their own hands, and in such a world, even if it was thousands of years or tens of thousands of years, the elven society would never change.

Unless, there is an outsider, who breaks this fixed cycle of samsara.

"Priest, what are you thinking?"

Priest, who was sighing silently in his heart, suddenly felt a burst of heat in his ears, he hurriedly stepped back and turned his head, only to see Suer looking at him with a puzzled expression: "You said you wanted to come to my house to have a look, how did you get to the place, but you were in a daze?" ”

"Ahem...... Thinking about something. ”

Priest couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and then pretended to look around naturally.

This time, it was indeed Priest who offered to go to Sur's house to have a look, the main purpose was to confirm the daily habits and technical level of the otherworldly elves, in general, it was still to observe the situation and collect information, ordinary elves would not easily let outsiders like Priest enter the house, but Priest was a self-acquaintance, even if Priest didn't mention it, she would invite the other party to come and sit down.

After a few days of communication and contact, Sur was already very familiar with Priest, so in the face of the other party's request to 'want to see the elven cave', the elf girl agreed without hesitation.

Taking advantage of the girl's kindness, Priest couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, but because of this, he looked more seriously.

The hall of the entire underground cave is about 150 square meters, and the average height is 340 centimeters, which is very wide and does not feel small at all.

On both sides of the hall, there are several rooms, according to Sur's enthusiastic explanation, Priest knows that they are warehouses, clothing and equipment storage rooms, and storage rooms for various tools, such as fishing nets and agricultural shovels, each person's room is also separate, and there is a magic circle that regulates the temperature and air inside, relying on the magic of the Mother Tree of Life to operate.

The life of the elves is more comfortable than expected, you can see, there are some primitive tool tables and utensils in the wide hall, I think it should be Suer's father, the place where the antler elf usually mixes potions and makes staff and arrows, and even on the right side of the hall, you can see a huge fish box, which contains many colorful and very beautiful fish and shells.

The fish box is made of relatively rough glass, which should be forcibly shaped by some strong people using their own strength, and it is a handicraft that cannot be copied.

It's just strange that the fish in the fish box are all sick, not only rarely move, but some even have their eyes rolled and their bellies turned upside down.

"Huh? Do you like fish? ”

Noticing Priest's expression, Sur, who was putting the fishing nets on his body into the storage room at this time, smiled proudly: "Haha, I caught all the fish in this fish tank!" Beautiful, right? It's a pity that Dad doesn't like them, even if Dad made me a fish tank, but he still doesn't think these fish are beautiful. ”

Speaking of this, Suer stepped forward, and the elf girl bent down, put one hand on the fish tank, and said with some pity: "It's so gorgeous in color and so good-looking...... But why don't they understand? ”

"The flowers are so beautiful, the deer are so lively, the trees are tall, and the grass is delicate...... This forest alone is so colorful that you can't get tired of seeing it...... And over a mountain, there is a new, equally beautiful landscape, but why does my father always say that this is a meaningless act? ”

As he said this, Sur's eyes were a little dim, and his big beautiful eyes were misty.

Priest looked into Soul's eyes. That's what most pure-blood elves have, and the golden-green eyes are like grasslands in the sun, and they're beautiful...... For a while, Priest, whose cultural level was limited to extraordinary strength, couldn't find any adjectives, and subconsciously stared at it for a few seconds.

"That's not right."

But soon, Priest realized that now was not the time to think about it...... Calmly, he secretly took out a black, inconspicuous metal bead from his bosom, and then pretended not to pay attention, causing it to fall to the ground, and when this small bead touched the ground, it immediately stretched out many mechanical tentacles, like insects, and quickly made a hole in the earth, deep into the earth.

In the distance, the four members of the elite exploration team, who were patiently waiting in the cave for their captain to start acting, cheered: "It's a success!" The captain succeeded! ”

"The energy stored by the miniature scout puppet can dig a distance of more than five hundred meters, and we are too far away from the Mother Tree of Life here, and five hundred meters is not enough at all."

"But the elves' dwellings are different, the roots of the Mother Tree of Life are the pillars of their caves, and we will soon be able to collect information on the Mother Tree of the Other World, and then judge how serious the Chaos infection phenomenon is in this land! By the way, you can also collect the special information of the Mother Tree of Life in another world, and you can sell a large amount of exchange points for elves when you change hands! ”

"Looks like the captain hasn't forgotten his business." Wiping a handful of sweat, the mage touched the staff in his hand and joked, "I thought he would be so addicted to chatting with elven girls that he forgot about his mission." ”

"It's a beautiful girl, but in fact, the other party's age may be older than our grandmother." The priesthood said objectively.

And the knight was not happy to say: "What do you say - the age of the elves, can it be called age?" ”

Just as the clergy and the knights began to argue about how old an elf should be considered a girl, Sur, who had been a little sad, was completely regained his senses at this time.

"Alas, these fish, beautiful are beautiful, but unfortunately they always die faster."

Patting the fish tank, Suer sighed deeply, and then shook his head dissatisfiedly: "It took me half a day to get them all together, but they didn't give me face one by one, and they will die in seven or eight days at most - no way, although it is so beautiful, it can only be made into braised fish, grilled fish ......"

As she spoke, the elf girl swallowed her saliva and showed a 'sad' expression.

After making sure that he had completed the task, Priest also turned his attention to the fish tank after breathing a sigh of relief, looking at the sick fish.

Just by sniffing and smelling the water, the experienced Priest immediately figured out why the fish would die.

- Nonsense, sea fish are raised in fresh water, and being able to live for seven or eight days is already considered to be a tenacious vitality of fish in the High Demon World!

Looking at the various sea fish in the tank struggling to survive and still desperately spitting bubbles, Priest's eyes were full of sympathy when he looked at them—and at the same time, he thought of his sister.

The same is not to give face, one treats saplings as grass, and the other raises marine fish as freshwater fish, which is really ...... It's kind of cute.

Speaking of which, did you tell little Britney before she left that what she had in her hand was actually a sapling instead of grass?

However, it also reveals that the Lookout tribe does not care about this knowledge - they never seem to have raised marine fish, and they have never cared about anything like this, even if Sur has made a special discovery of his own problem, but because no one else has discussed it, the question of 'why the sea fish can't survive in fresh water' can only slowly turn into a simple and non-causal 'faceless'.

This sad way of thinking is the foundation of ignorance.

"Sul, don't you notice that the sea is salty, but the water in which you raise these fish is not saltwater......

"Ah, I see!"

Priest explained the reason to Sur in as simple words as possible, but he underestimated the intelligence of the elven girl, and when he only said that the sea water was salty, Sur suddenly looked at him, so that Priest did not need to continue to explain the difference between fresh water and sea water.

Looking at Sur, who suddenly realized his face, and then turned his head to touch the fish tank in distress, and apologized to the various fish inside, Priest couldn't help but want to laugh a little, but he couldn't laugh.

In fact, this kind of thinking is nothing more than a hurdle, even if one more person ponders, he can quickly figure out why. But in this elven tribe, no one else discussed with Sur about 'making a living', everyone just worked like ants, never thinking about the reason and truth behind everything.

"Well, I'm sorry."

Suddenly, Priest saw the elf girl turn her head, Sur stroked the fish tank with one hand, and said with a hint of apology: "Originally, I wanted to take you to the house to have a look, so that you can see the wonder of the mother tree...... But for now, I want to go to the beach as soon as possible to change the water for these fish. ”

"Ah, no problem."

Priest was slightly stunned, then shook his head with a smile. The magic of the mother tree can be seen with the help of the miniature scout puppet, the purpose of his coming here has been achieved, and no matter what he does next, it is free time, "If you want to go, I will accompany you." ”

Whether it was Sur or Priest, they were the kind of people who did things vigorously, and soon, the two of them took advantage of the evening when there was still sunlight to walk out of the elven tribe with a fish tank.

Back and forth, there were many elves who had ended hunting and gathering and returned to the tribe from all directions, Sur and Priest who came out retrograde were very conspicuous, but except for one of the elves who was the leader looked up, the others did not change their faces, and they seemed to pass by without care, Priest even saw Sur's father, the gold-level druid deercrown elf also walked by expressionlessly, even if his daughter left the tribe with a strange man, he did not have the slightest curiosity.

Beneath the calm and natural exterior is a dead stagnant water like a deep well and a green pool.

The orange sun of the other world slowly set, the rust-colored nine-wheeled beast moon rose, and under the eerie red light, Priest and Sur walked silently along the road to the sea.

Priest carried the fish tank, and Sur held the tool for changing the water, which he asked for on his own initiative, after all, for a golden warrior, a mere fish tank is not much different from a piece of paper, Priest carried it on his shoulder, as much as possible to prevent any waves in the water in the tank.

Soon, the two were on the beach.

The tide rose violently.

This is a completely different scenery from the daytime - under the nine rounds of crimson blood-rust moon, the choppy tide is surging like blood waves, the strange fluorescent light is churning in the sea, bringing up waves of magical power, and the fishing docks of the elves, although they are already very high, are also submerged for a small part at this time, and the bottom of the rock casting is beaten by the waves, shining like a spark.

It's weird, but it's not scary, and it even has a unique beauty.

"Just put it right here."

Surr was the first to walk to a sandy beach that wasn't completely submerged, followed by Priest, who placed the fish tank on the edge of the wave and waited for Sur's next move.

At this time, the elf girl looked at the horizon in a daze, looking at the clouds and stars looming in the distance.

"You say—Priest." Sur suddenly asked, "What is on the other side of the sea?" ”

“…… Maybe it's another continent. ”

The young warrior narrowed his eyes and said with some uncertainty: "I don't know if it's the planetary world or the continental world, it's hard to judge." ”

But Sur didn't seem to care about the answer, she just seemed to like it to have her question answered, and the elven girl sat on the beach, clasped her knees in her hands, and said with some distraction, "I like to look into the distance...... Sea, mountains, forests...... I like it all, and every time I think about it, I feel so excited that I want to get on a small boat and float to the other side of the sea to have a look. ”

"Come to think of it, the ancestors must have loved to look out as well—otherwise, why would the tribe be called the lookout? What did they want to see, so did they choose Lookout as their tribal name? ”

Maybe it's the starry sky. Priest didn't answer out loud, he just subconsciously raised his head and looked at the world barrier that the other world was so strong that even the Void Behemoth couldn't destroy it. You can't get out, you can't get in, and you can't get in, and you can't get in, and you can't get in.

Even if it's an elf who goes out to colonize...... I'm afraid I'll miss my hometown too.

"But my father, my uncle, my uncle, my aunt...... Everybody doesn't like to look out. Even though his name is the lookout, he always looks down at the earth and never wants to go out. ”

Speaking of this, Sur fell into a deep silence, until Priest felt that something was not quite right, and wanted to comfort the other party, Sur snorted, and then stood up suddenly, almost hitting Priest's nose, only to see the elf girl pointing to the sky and the ground with the other, and said loudly: "Anyway, I'm going to die—it's decided, I may not be able to cross the sea, but before I die, I must go to the opposite side of the sacred mountain to see what is there!" ”

After speaking, Sur neatly lifted the fish tank on the ground, then opened it, and forcefully poured the fish into the sea along with the water.

"Huh—Sur, didn't you say you wanted to change the water?"

Seeing this, he was still immersed in the matter of 'Sur is dying', Priest, who was in a daze, couldn't react for a while, and he didn't have time to stop it, he just walked to Sur's side, took down the fish tank that was already empty, and said with some pity: "You said that it took a lot of effort for you to catch these beautiful fish, why did you let them all go?" ”

"Forget it, I'm having a hard time feeding them anyway."

After releasing all the fish, Suer looked much happier, she tidied up her hair, which was a little messy because of the sea breeze, narrowed her eyes, and smiled naturally: "After all, fish is not a life that lives in a tank, it belongs to the sea - it is one thing for us to catch it and eat it, and another thing to keep it in a tank." ”

"After all...... I also don't like being locked up, and I want to get out there. Just thinking about it, I don't want to raise fish anymore. ”

Hearing this, for some reason, Priest suddenly lowered his tone: "...... You can get out there. ”

He looked up at the somewhat surprised elven girl, and Priest said in a deep voice, "You should go out - that's everyone's right." ”

"Haha, do you want to take me to the other side of the mountain to have a look, maybe I'll die halfway? It's cumbersome. ”

Suer smiled heartily, like a middle-aged uncle who had drunk, both in tone and attitude, completely different from his delicate and delicate appearance, but soon, the elf girl's seemingly hearty laughter was actually just a self-deprecating laugh, but it was interrupted by Priest's serious tone.

"Yes, and not just on the other side of the mountain."

Priest looked up at the dark void above him except for September, and he whispered, "You'll have a lot to see in the future—definitely more than that, this little world." ”

"I promise — I promise it."
