Chapter 676: The Elven Country
The so-called Elven Country is actually just a general term for this region in the world. As a race that is not in conflict with the world, the elves do not demarcate the scope and boundaries like humans. Generally speaking, the entire Forest of No Return is considered to be within the realm of the elves, but having said that, in fact, the elves don't value it. In some border areas, people will occasionally enter the outer areas of the Forest of No Return to cut down trees or pick some medicinal herbs, and the elves don't care about these people. There are even some people who have strayed too far into the forest and got lost, and the elves will kindly guide each other and let them leave. Of course, most elves don't like to have too much contact with humans, so very few humans come into contact with elves. Even those who get lost in the forest will only encounter a deer, a cheetah or a fire to guide them away.
But in fact, Jenn knew that there was also a clear dividing line in the country of elves. That is the river of life located within the Forest of No Return. The river is home to almost all life in the Forest of No Return, with one section leading to the Sural Mountains to the outside world and the other to the fantastic lakes inside the Forest of No Return. It can be said that with this river of life as the boundary, it is the real homeland of the elves. Of course, it is impossible for ordinary people to break into this place through the woods outside, and even if someone is lucky enough to break in, they will be blocked by the plant barrier on the periphery of the River of Life, and it is impossible to enter it at all.
As an "outsider", it was certainly impossible for Jenn to find the entrance to the Elven Nation. However, with Orfen's "own person", he naturally doesn't need to worry. Under Orfen's guidance, it only took them a day. He bypassed the outer barrier and came to the mouth of the River of Life.
"This is it?"
Jump off the Astral Unicorn. JennβNo, Jenny glanced curiously at the riverbank in front of her. Then he turned to Orphin and asked. I saw that on the bank of the river, there were dense trees everywhere. Their branches and foliage intertwined with each other, stretching along the banks of the river like green walls. Hearing Jenny's inquiry, Orphin nodded, and then she reached into her arms, took out a straw flute, and played it softly. With the melodious sound of the flute, the next moment I saw that the trees that had originally covered the river bank instantly parted to both sides, revealing a road. Immediately afterwards, I saw a flat boat in the distance, silently cutting through the river. In the blink of an eye, they came to the shore.
"Welcome to the Heart of the Tree......... Her Royal Highness the Princess? β
On the boat, the elf with the oars greeted the two with a grin, and when she saw Orphen, her expression immediately became much more excited. He even lowered the oars in his hand, leaped down from the boat in three steps and two steps, and in the blink of an eye came to Orphen.
"Your Royal Highness! I'm so happy to see you're safe, are you okay? β
"I'm okay..............."
Hearing the elf's inquiry in front of him, Orphin also smiled and nodded. But the next moment, her face became much lower.
"But............... Teachers, they ............"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ That's ................"
Although Orphen didn't say much. But from her heavy, mournful tone, the elf had already guessed what she was trying to say. She nodded, and then took Orfen's hands. Looking at the elf girl in front of him, he comforted in a low voice.
"Your Highness the Princess. Rest assured, your safe return is the best reward for Master Ella. Their souls will surely be blessed by nature. Fall into a peaceful slumber. β
"I think so too."
Hearing the other party's comfort, Alphen reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth. A slight smile was revealed. Soon, though, she picked herself up. Then he hurriedly waved his hand to Jenny, who was standing next to him watching the excitement, and then pulled the elf to Jenny, and then spoke.
"Let me introduce you, this is Jenny. If it weren't for her, Windranger, I am afraid I would not have been able to see you alive again. β
In fact, even without Orfen's introduction, the elf would have been secretly paying attention to Jenny next to her. Not to mention herself, the astral unicorn that followed Jenny alone was enough to attract attention. At this moment, hearing Alfen's words, the elf was also startled, and then she hurriedly put her hand on her chest and solemnly saluted Jenny.
"Welcome to the Heart of the Tree, Windranger, may the greenery of nature be by your side for a long time, and we will never forget your kindness."
With that, the elf looked up again and looked at Orphin.
"Your Royal Highness, please come with me, Her Majesty has been very anxious these days, and the number of patrols sent out to search has doubled than before, and now that you can return safely, Her Majesty will be very happy." Please wait a moment, and I will now report this to Her Majesty. β
"Mother sent a lot of patrols to find us?"
Hearing this, Orphin was stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly changed.
"Please inform the Queen Mother immediately, and ask her to withdraw all those patrols to the Golden Grove! It is important not to go near the plague area! β
"Yes, Your Highness Princess."
Seeing that Alfen's face had become so solemn, the elf did not dare to slack off, only to see her whistle, and then a bird flew down from the sky and came to the elf's hand. Then the two looked at each other, and then the bird chirped softly, spread its wings again and flew into the sky, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. It was only then that the elf breathed a sigh of relief, and then she looked at the two of them again, and solemnly made a gesture of invitation.
"Come with me, both of you."
The boat sailed down the river, propelled by the breeze towards the depths of the river of life. Jenny sat at the bow of the boat, admiring the view. As for the Astral Unicorn, she had already sent it back to the Astral Boundary. Looking at Jenny's appearance, Orphin was obviously a little curious, and she hesitated slightly before asking.
"Windranger-sama, haven't you been here before?"
"Not really."
Jenn -- Jenny, of course, understood why Orphin asked, in the Klein Continent, the Elven Forest is the sacred place in the minds of all elves, and almost all elves are eager to visit this holy land. In fact, most of the elves have been here before, especially powerful elves like themselves. After all, the number of elves on the Klein Continent is not very large, so as long as there are a few celebrities or strong people, then most of all the elves will have heard of it. But having a special being as powerful as Jenny and having such a special astral unicorn as never heard of her name before was something that puzzled Orphin and made sense of it.
But fortunately, Jenn has been preparing for this for a long time.
"Before this, I was running around for an important matter, and I didn't have time to come to the Elven Forest. In fact, it wasn't that long ago that I had just gotten out of there, and it was only after that I heard rumors about the Elven Forest that I hurried over. β
"Forgive me for taking the plunge, where did you venture before?"
Hearing Jenny's answer, Orphin blinked her eyes more and more curiously, and asked. Jenny smiled at this and then gave an answer.
"Dark Regions."
"Ahh
Hearing this answer, not only did Orphin cry out softly, but even the elven woman who was controlling the boat looked at Jenny with wide eyes in surprise. It's no wonder they're so out of shape, the dark region is an extremely dangerous place for surface races, and it's a red alert area for elves. After all, it was the territory of their sworn enemy, the Dark Elves, and no elf had ever trespassed into the Dark Realm before, let alone escaped with all their might.
"No, I'm so sorry!"
At this moment, Orphin also sensed that he was a little rude, and hurriedly stammered and apologized. But her face turned red with excitement. I saw that Her Royal Highness the princess stared at Jenny closely, and then asked.
"But, but why are you going there? That ..............."
"That's ............"
In the face of Orfen's inquiry, Jenny showed a low wry smile before speaking.
"A long time ago, my tribe was attacked by a group of dark elf squads, and everyone in the tribe was killed. And the light of the stars that our tribe has has also been robbed of by them. At that time, I was out to worship, so I escaped. When I returned to the tribe again, it had become a sea of fire. My relatives, compatriots, friends......... They all died tragically under the blades of the dark elves..............."
At this, the expression on Jenny's face became much darker, and there was incomparable pain in her eyes, as if that scene had reappeared in front of her eyes again.
Oscar-level acting, you deserve it.
"At that time, I was still young and vigorous, and in order to avenge my people, I followed the group of dark elves directly into the dark region with a hot head. By the time I looked back and calmed down, I had already lost my way in the vast dark area, and I couldn't find a way out. After that, I was able to live in the shadows and deal with the evil dark elves, but luckily, in the end, I managed to reclaim our tribe's artifact and teach them a lesson that I will never forget. After that, by chance, I also happened to find a way to the surface, so I left the dark region and returned to this sunlit land. β
Jenny chuckled as she said this. Hearing her tell, Orphin and the elf were completely stunned. (To be continued.) )
