"Bang bang", Vral gently patted the trunk of the World Tree twice: "Come on, I'll take you into the palace to rest for a while." ↑ Title Novel, "

"Still vines?" Catherine teased, remembering her surprise at the first sight of those strange vines on the Arin tree, "I feel like your use of vines is about to become a civilization." ”

"Actually, in the beginning, we belonged to a plant-like civilization. Vral didn't take this as a joke, but said very seriously: "In the early days, we didn't use crystal energy, but used magic and racial talent to develop our race, and most of our work was done by plants, and it is not an exaggeration to say that we are a plant civilization." Until the end of the Third Age, after the war of faith became more and more intense, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the entire race, we had to start learning to use crystal energy to fight war. At this time, we have to admit that the act of war, although it is always accompanied by tragic processes, senseless sacrifices and meaningless results, is the greatest driving force for the development of a race. ”

"It's just the development that has to be done in order to achieve victory, and in the face of life and death, intelligent beings can always do things far beyond their capabilities, but I don't think this collateral gain is worth it compared to the cost of war. Catherine shook her head, and wanted to say something, but suddenly raised her head and said with a wry smile: "Sure enough, it's still a vine." ”

In fact, Catherine was not accurate, and this time it was not entirely a vine that descended from the lowest canopy of a tree that was more than eighty meters high. Descending were several small houses woven of vines, like the deer carts that the elves rode on their visits, the small houses were not small, even if they could accommodate ten people at the same time, they would not seem crowded, but compared to the huge giant trees next to them and the vines at least five meters thick at the top of the house. It's just a small house. Because of the thick vines connected to the small houses that served as elevators, the small houses would not sway back and forth in mid-air even if there were no tracks, but even so, after entering the elevators, the girls felt a pang of uneasiness in their hearts. Creatures that have lived on the ground all year round have always had this kind of uneasiness when they suddenly leave the solid earth, and even if they know that there will be no danger, they cannot eliminate this uneasiness from instinct.

Since those irrelevant companions had dispersed, Pannis quickly regained his original appearance, took out a hard-shelled dried fruit from his pocket, pinched it, and said lazily: "Speaking of this kind of elevator exclusive to the Elven Forest, I suddenly remembered a story. The elves have always boasted that their lifts are very safe. There have never been any accidents, but as far as I know, there was one that I would have almost forgotten if I hadn't been here. ”

"Hey, Brother Kyle, you can see their uneasiness and want to comfort them. You don't have to talk about us. Before Pannis could finish speaking, Maya, the light-winged man who squeezed into the same elevator, not only blushed with her little face. Even his wings were about to turn red, and he protested dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you just break an elevator in Sister Florar's house, you have been laughing at me for more than a hundred years about this." “

"yes, yes, I said I was trying to forget about it. Yuanya also pouted and said, "As a result, I mentioned it every once in a while, and I didn't forget it at all." ”

"And this time the purpose is to ease their mood. "It's just that it's unforgivable. ”

The words of the Winged Twins made the faces of the four girls flush at the same time. Glaring at Pannis with her eyes, Lina couldn't help her curiosity and asked, "What did you do at the time? How did you break the elevator? And doesn't it mean that the World Tree is indestructible, why can it still be broken?"

"Vines are grown on the World Tree by climbing. "They don't belong in the World Tree. "So it can be broken. "The Twins are accustomed to one sentence per person. This feeling of heart-to-heart connection made the priest girl feel envious. Both twins, although Lina and Betty also have a certain heart-to-heart connection and know each other's intentions, they still can't be as tacitly as one person like the light and dark twins. The Light and Dark Twins continued to speak in this way as if they were the same person, and continued to speak quickly, "It was only the first time we had taken the elevator. "So I feel a little scared. "I just want to try to fly in there. "We thought, if we stay in the air, if the elevator falls, we won't fall. "We forgot that this is a small space. "It's okay to spread your wings, but if you want to fly, you have to flap your wings a lot. As a result, the wings hit the wall of the elevator in succession. "When we wave our wings, there's a lot of power. "Especially since we are demigods, we are more powerful when we flap our wings. "Then the walls broke and we fell out. "It's as simple as that, there's nothing ridiculous about it. ”

"Huh. Lina couldn't help but let out a short laugh, hurriedly covered her mouth, and said with a forced smile: "Indeed, it's normal to worry about falling, and the person who laughs at you should be despised." ”

Although poor Pannis was innocently despised again, his purpose was achieved, and his performance with the Twins did not relieve the girls' instinctive uneasiness, but effectively distracted them, and when they reacted, they found that the elevator had risen to the highest point and stopped, and the door made of the same vines opened automatically, revealing the way out.

The elevator is cleverly parked on the side of a branch with a diameter of nearly 30 meters, and the thick branch and rough and uneven skin allow people to stand on it very steadily, and even if they fall, they will not roll down the trunk with a certain slope.

Walking out of the elevator and stepping on the branches of the World Tree, the girls found themselves in the middle of the canopy, with a thick canopy on their heads and feet, and although the left and right sides were relatively empty, there were also many branches and leaves that obstructed the girls' vision.

After following Vrard, brushing aside the branches and leaves that stood in the way, and following the trunk of the tree for a few steps, the girls stopped in shock, and stared at the front of them with their heads half-tilted, unable to say a word. In their sight, as they lifted the branches, a huge complex appeared in front of them without warning, the complex was exquisite, complex, and full of elven features. (To be continued.) )
