Throne of Magical Arcana

The sun shines through the mist, leaving behind a patch of gold spots on the different greens, which make the "natural residence" vigorous and dreamy.

Urisian and Ferry wore other members of the "visit group", followed Elestin and Exilion under the tree house, watched by a bold or shy elf with their pointed ears Shaking slightly, the clothes woven from leaves are close and elegant.

"Everyone, you live here during this time, don't run around randomly, and some elves are not friendly to humans." Elestin said, pointing to a small forest of dozens of trees, with Enough tree house.

Listening to her, Avris flicked his tail, and said seriously: "No problem."

It heard clearly that some elves were only unfriendly to humans, and it seemed that they could go around and collect some souvenirs.

Urisian smiled at Elestin and said, "His Royal Highness, please also give me a list of fallen and demonized elves."

"They are all in the 'captivity' near the elven tree. Are you going to investigate now?" Exilion agreed with the positive attitude of the magicians.

Yurisian shook his head: "In this case, Lord Evans they will definitely go to check, we still go around in the forest, ask the friends of these fallen elves to understand the specific situation, so ..."

He smiled broadly and clicked until the end.

Elestin nodded gently: "I will give you information about the fallen elves and their friends."

"It's best to mark the ones that had the most contact with them before the fall." Felipe, who inserted his hand next to him, added that although this seems to be an infection caused by the abyssal breath, before the matter is investigated, no possibility can be ruled out, otherwise it is easy Blind.

Exilion's face changed slightly, and then nodded in agreement.

This was not his guilty conscience, but the most normal reaction of any elf executive after hearing Felipe ’s words. He suspected that something went wrong inside the elf.

Under the sunlight, Felipe's face was very similar to the vampire lying in the coffin for many years, but he did not explain that this was a normal investigation process. Let Excellion and Elestin speculate that maybe someone Can't hold my breath and jump out?

Ten minutes later, Annick and Sprint took the list and marked location to the southeast of the forest.

"Ulmer, good friend of the fallen elf Kelley ..." Annick read the list.

Under the watchful eyes of the fair-looking elves, both men and women, his face flushed uncontrollably, so he quickly lost a "mechanized mind" to himself.

Sprint glanced at him: "What's so shy about this? We are investigators, naturally in an active position, they should be nervous!"

"I'm always embarrassed and unable to control my emotions when facing strangers." The red tide on Annick's face faded, and his eyes became cold and ruthless, like a steel golem.

Sprint squinted his lips: "Embarrassment? You are too confident. What you say wrong, what you do wrong is a common thing."

"Worried about making a bad impression on them? It's funny, we still don't know if we can come to Strup Forest anymore, what if you do something very shameful? And your shy and embarrassed look is better than anything shameful Both make the other party have a bad impression. "

He has always criticized Annick's character. This time he accepted Heidi's "commission" to help make Annick more confident and bolder, so that he can better face the teacher and put the arcane argument aside.

"Why? I like this kind of shy boy the most, which shows that his heart is very pure and simple!" Suddenly, a soft voice joined their conversation.

This may not be the case, the word "sullen" invented by the teacher has been recognized. Sprint looked at the voice while sullen, and saw a beautiful elf with a melon seed face, her black hair and silver skin, Wearing a simple foliage outfit, carrying a harp in his hand.

Looking up and down, Sprint secretly said to Annick: "There are elves looking at you, don't miss this opportunity, otherwise you will be destined to be single in your life with your personality."

He cleared his throat and asked his friend: "This lady, I don't know what to call you?"

"I'm a male." The beautiful elves twitched their sharp, soft ears, and they seemed familiar with the situation.

Even with a "mechanized mind", Annick's face became very ugly, and Sprint even twitched his facial muscles and said: "Are you a male? Do you still say you like boys the most?"

The pretty elf shook the harp in his hand, a poet's temperament: "Love does not distinguish between genders."

Annick took Sprint a hand, forced himself to resist discomfort, and turned to leave.

"No wonder the materials in the Arcane Library say that because of their long life and leisurely life, elves love art and have all kinds of weird special preferences ..." Sprint deeply regretted and feared, and almost pushed his friend into Abyss.

Annick still had time to answer in the future, and the pretty elf behind her smiled and said: "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Ulmer. Just heard that you are saying my name?"

He is a moon elf and has outstanding hearing, especially when the wind is down in the forest.

"Ulmer?" Sprint and Annick stopped and turned back not very well.

"Mr. Ulmer, we have something to ask you." In the end, Annick, who blessed the "mechanized mind", asked "courage".

Ulmer said with a smile: "Two, what do you think of the lyre? Has the human being's improvement of the harp lost the most essential things?"

"..." Annick and Sprint were speechless. Although their teachers were big musicians, they followed him to learn arcane and magic, not music!This kind of professional music problem, they can't even find the direction!

Ulmer shook his head like a sigh: "If we don't understand art, we can't be friends, not friends. We can't talk happily. Do you have any views on the wax statue? I recently bought a statue and it feels very interesting. Do you like it? "

"..." Sprint and Annick were stunned again, and suddenly felt that their usual lives were too "in style".

"You don't understand wax figures? Well, what about lost civilization? I heard that the Magic Council found a relic of steam civilization?" Ulmer said in disappointment.

Huh, Annick and Sprint took a long breath at the same time, discussing the history and the lost civilization is the specialty of each arcanist, otherwise there is no way to take risks and identify things, and this ruin was discovered by his teacher.

After a pleasant conversation, Ulmer finally resigned: "Two guests came to ask about Keleti?"

"Yes, we want to know if there are any signs of abnormality before he fell?" Annick asked with relief.

Ulmer's slender, well-proportioned hands plucked twice on the strings to bring out beautiful notes, and said sadly: "Everything is fine, Kelett also said that he has learned a special dance, ready to perform and show me , As a result ... he fell into demonization ... "

The sound was gradually deep and nearly silent.

"Special dance?" Annick was shy, but his character was cautious and delicate, and he didn't miss any clues.

"This is our agreement to write poems and music to each other, or to arrange various special dances according to the records of different civilizations, in order to please each other." Ulmer explained, looking sad.

This seems to be no problem ... Sprint continued to ask: "Apart from you, does Kellet come closer to you? Or to which elves?

"We are all natural balancers, and we all like music, carvings, oil paintings and other things in human society." Ulmer didn't conceal, and suddenly remembered something like an authentic, "He has a few friends of the natural hatred faction, but, 'Natural Residence 'It's a small circle, who doesn't have a few friends of natural hatred? By the way, before the fall, he just rotated through the gap in the abyss. This may be the reason for his demonization ... "

This is the main clue provided by the elven king's court. Both Annick and Sprint are very clear. They can't ask for other valuable information, so they leave with Ulmer and look for the next elf on the list.

…………

Heidi and Katrina also hold a list and walk through the forest guarded by the "Nature Residence". From time to time, they see elves holding dead tree roots carved with statues, or painting on bark paper with special natural pigments. , A laid-back and tranquil social scene.

"Everyone ..."

Hundreds of elves gathered in the open space in front, and women elves of medium size stood on the tree and were giving speeches. The reason why Heidi was able to affirm her gender was mainly distinguished by the elves' dressing. It is a long skirt woven from tender green leaves, and the male elves are two leaves up and down, surrounded by animal skins.

If they were dressed the same, Heidi and Katrina would have to be more careful to distinguish between them. After all, the elves, both men and women, were relatively slender and beautiful, and both of them could not be rudely identified by magic.

Stopped by the open space, Katrina pulled Heidi's clothes and pointed to the other side: "Mr. Felipe ..."

The gloomy Felipe put his hands in his pockets and stood quietly under a tree, listening to the elf girl's speech.

"... I'm Nord Daniel, and I'm calling on you to hunt more deer." The elf girl's voice was high but not sharp.

"what?"

"Zebra deer is such a docile forest animal?"

The elves below expressed confusion.

Nodaniel?Heidi and Katrina glanced at each other, and this was what they were looking for.

Nordane said earnestly: "The loss of control of the abyss has made the hunters in the forest crazy and bloodthirsty, so we have been killed a lot and the number has dropped dramatically. Controlled growth, their fertility is comparable to mice. "

"If the spotted deer exceeds a certain limit, they will eat rhizomes, tubers and other things as the staple food, which will cause irreparable damage to the forest."

"We must maintain a natural balance!"

Is this the "natural balance"?Heidi and Katrina sounded excitedly.

When Nordenil finished his speech, most of the elves accepted it, and the two men greeted them.
