578 The World Tree Awakens Again?
Nanna has been very idle lately, which makes her very unaccustomed.
She's used to worrying about the organization's chores, and she's used to calling the shots. And once she is idle, she is full of discomfort. What's more, the clansmen's perception of her is very subtle now. Although most people still admit that she is extremely capable, when they touch her, especially the male elves, their eyes are very subtle.
Nanna already knew that the culprit of all this was a minor nobleman in the Kingdom of Holeiven, Beta.
Morton was very attentive to his disciples, and naturally shared the information he had collected with Nanna.
After knowing who had done so badly, Nanna stayed by Alice's side. In her mind, the bastard named Beta would one day come back and find a way to save Alice, as long as she stayed by the latter's side, she could fight that bastard again one day.
Although Nanna is still a little hostile to Alice, or rather resentful. But after getting along for a while, the two also became friends, after all, both sides are not bad in nature, but their positions are slightly different.
Like everyone else, Nanna doesn't have much respect for the little queen, more affection and love.
Moreover, as an older sister, Nanna also feels that she has an obligation to educate the little queen.
"You are the queen, and in the future, you will be the face of our entire elven race, how can you do it if you don't learn magic well."
Nanna walked up to the little queen and helped her get dressed, then nodded to Alice.
Alice smiled back naturally.
The life of the elves is very leisurely, there is no shortage of food, there is no shortage of clothing, every day is to eat breakfast tea, drink afternoon tea, read books in the evening, or attend banquets with friends, etc., the day passes, and they do not feel that it is a big category, but live happily every day.
Because of this kind of life, it has caused the slow and leisurely temperament of the elves, not that this kind of temperament is bad, but if you are in a turbulent world, then this kind of character is completely a sin.
Both Morton and Anse saw through this, and both had the idea of changing the elves, but the ideas were different, resulting in a confrontation between the two sides.
The three elven girls were chatting and eating fruits and pastries, and soon it was close to noon, and when they were about to disperse, Nanna suddenly asked, "Alice, do you still believe that they will come to save you?" ”
"Yes." Alice replied without hesitation.
"But it's been almost half a year now, and they still haven't seen anyone, maybe they've been scared by the mother tree." Nanna speculated maliciously, "Or even if they weren't scared, Mother said they would have to struggle in the otherworldly space for at least a few years before they could come back." ”
"It doesn't matter, half a year is waiting, ten years is waiting, and a hundred years is waiting." Alice smiled indifferently: "I'm a half-elf, and my lifespan is not much worse than yours, I can afford to wait." ”
"It's you."
Alice smiled a little slyly: "Looking more and more anxious, do you really want to see Beta so much." ”
"I wish I could kill him now." Nanna was angry and walked away.
The little queen watched Nanna leave, her mouth was eating, her cheeks were bulging, and she looked at Alice with some puzzlement: "Why do you always like to be angry with Sister Nanna." ”
Alice curled a strand of hair and gently swept it at the corner of her mouth, smiling brightly like the sun: "Maybe because I have half human blood, so I'm more bad-hearted." ”
The longer she stays in the elves, the more Alice discovers the difference between herself and pure elves.
She also knew that she didn't belong here, that she belonged to the human world, and that she felt like she was a human first, and then half an elf.
If the priorities are different, the concepts will naturally be different.
Unlike Alice's relaxation, Beta was very busy, and late one night he had to carve a magic circle near the palace, not only to hide his figure, but also to take care to hide the magic circle from other elves. If you have time, you have to explore the patrol routes, the number of people, the change of shifts, and the general strength of the palace guards.
These investigations are necessary if Alice is to be rescued alone.
One man versus one city, it sounds exaggerated, but in essence, Beta is still very confident.
As long as the preliminary preparations are made, as long as Alice is taken out of the spiritual suppression range of the World Tree, Alice is put into the mansion space, and then the teleportation technique is used to leave, and the matter is over.
But there is a big problem in it, Beta does not know what countermeasures the other side has.
Therefore, after spending eight days setting up the magic array, Beta waited for another five days, and went to investigate the situation late at night, but found nothing.
And Anse, on the other hand, didn't hear any news.
Beta decided not to wait any longer, and late that night, he infiltrated the palace, evaded the patrolling guards, and found Alice's treehouse in the back garden.
The unicorn was lying down under the tree, and when it heard the sound, it stood up vigilantly, and when it found out that it was Beta, it fell down again, and looked at him quietly with a pair of turquoise eyes.
Beta walked up to the door of the treehouse and knocked lightly.
"Who." A low voice came from within.
"Beta."
After a brief silence, the door quickly opened. Alice, dressed in black, opened the door and smiled when she saw Beta, then she looked beyond Beta, looked around, and asked, "What about him?" ”
"There are very important things that can't come." Beta replied quietly.
Alice had some disappointment in her eyes, but she quickly picked herself up and said, "Go now?" ”
"Let's go."
The two of them descended from the treehouse, Alice mounted the unicorn, and Beta threw a 'secondary invisibility scroll' that had been prepared on them.
Seeing that one man and one 'horse' became transparent, Beta led them out with him.
Beta had already calculated that the guards would not patrol this area at this time, and if nothing else, they could leave the royal city directly.
But just as they left the back garden and were about to walk down the hidden path, the situation changed suddenly.
A purple light shot down from the back garden, directly enveloping the two of them inside.
Then the sky lit up with purple leaves of light, continuously, and it had covered the entire sky, and the entire royal city turned purple, from dark to light, that is, in just a few seconds.
Looking at such a spectacle, Beta's first reaction was:
Is the World Tree awake again?
Is this a trap?
Is this necessary? It's really willing to deal with an ordinary human being, and actually temporarily awaken the World Tree!
Because the World Tree is so powerful, every time her spirit body awakens, it will cause a great load on her body, so she usually wakes up once every long time, ten years, or decades.
And two awakenings in a row will inevitably cause some damage to the World Tree itself.
