Nearly a thousand people seem to be a lot, but they are rarely distributed to a range of one or two square kilometers. Even if the tables and chairs and counters that are hundreds of meters away from the World Tree are placed in a circular shape, they still do not occupy much area. After passing this circular open-air commercial area composed of tables and chairs, there are almost no one else. Accompanied by the entire team, there are only air roots hanging from the World Tree. Although they are only air roots, they also have a diameter of two or three meters.

Of course, it is not thicker than the World Tree with a diameter of one or two hundred meters, but compared with other trees, these aerial roots are even thicker than the trunks of many trees. The surface of the aerial roots is uneven, and there are cracked outer skins everywhere. Many vines even take root from the cracked outer skins and rely on the World Tree to maintain their lives. There are also many leaves growing on the aerial roots. Only then can the girls have the opportunity to carefully observe the luminous creatures with fluorescent powder falling from close range and flying around the aerial roots.

It was a group of very strange creatures. They had obvious human shapes, but they were only the length of an adult male index finger. They had dragonfly-like wings growing behind them, and had long green hair like elves on their heads. When flying, fluorescent light fell from their long hair, leaving a trace of light behind them.

"Is this... a goblin?" Lina hesitated for a moment, finally found the term from her memory and asked tentatively: "It often appears in fairy tales, those goblins who like to play with children and like to play pranks?"

"I also think it's a fairy. I have seen similar records several times in the literature, but I have never seen the real thing. I thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true." Vivian subconsciously approached a little fairy hovering in front of him. The little fairy is very beautiful and is beautiful in the form of an elf. If the dragonfly wings behind him are removed and they are enlarged dozens of times, it will be completely an elf-shaped shape. The observed little fairy flapping her wings hovering in the air, tilting her head and looking at this close to her. She also curiously looked at her close to her with her head curiously.

The huge monster. After both sides looked at each other for a while, the little guy suddenly opened his mouth and spat at Vivian. Rather than saliva, it was just a larger drop of water. The droplets contained the fragrance of plants, like a drop of sap. After spitting, the little guy quickly flew away from Vivian and circled the butterfly in the air with light marks, as if celebrating his successful prank. But when he found that Vivian's gaze was following, he immediately circled behind the root of the air and disappeared among other fairies.

"Haha, she likes you very much. They only play pranks with their favorite friends and children, and ignore strangers." Flar covered his mouth and laughed in a low voice: "But you guessed that they are just goblins."

"Are these little goblins considered a race?" Catherine stretched out her hand at a light ball, but the light ball avoided the knight girl in disgust, circled around Flar and returned to her own team of similar types. The girl curled her lips secretly and muttered, "The personality is really bad."

"Ha, they hate the metal smell on you, not you, but Vivian has a lot of plant-type alchemy materials, so they like it." Flar explained: "As for these little goblins, they are not considered a race. If it is strictly speaking, they are actually elves."

"Elf?" Lina shouted in surprise: "It's impossible, the difference between you is too big."

"No, Lina. Look carefully." Vivian shook his head at Lina and said, "Look at their appearance, they are almost exactly the same characteristics as the elves. I just suspected that they were close relatives between them and the elves."

"It's not close relatives, they are the original elves." Flar said something quite shocking: "In the early Third Age, when the gods in the forest created their lives, the elves originally envisioned were of this shape, but the body shape was the same as ours. However, later the adults discovered that normal body shapes could not fly with these wings. Even if they flew, they would ignite themselves with the heat generated by their bodies in a very short time. Therefore, the adults could only continuously reduce their body shape and finally gave birth to them."

"No wonder you said you were the original elves." Catherine nodded and said, "But why did the design change later and become what you are now?"

"Because even with the power of gods, they cannot be smart." Flar said with a wry smile: "They are very lively, but not very smart. No matter how long they live, their intelligence can only reach the level of one or two years old. Just like a group of small animals, it is said that because their brains are too small and cannot think too much. As for whether this is the case, no one knows. Later, the adults had no choice but to restore their original design and remove their wings, so the current elves were born. But these little guys, both the gods' children, the adults couldn't bear to give up on them, so they let them reproduce. However, because they were only trying the works and had great flaws, they could only live around the World Tree. Fortunately, they were small enough and their ideas were simple enough. They were already very happy to live in this area."

"It sounds like you guys are very concerned about these little guys," Katherine looked at a flying light ball from a distance in curiosity, "and they are also very close to you."

"Of course, we are sisters." Flar stretched out his hand upwards, and several light balls immediately flew to Her Majesty's palm, holding her slender fingers and rubbing her face, as if very satisfied. Her Majesty said with a pampered smile: "After all, we are of the same origin, have the same bloodline, and of course we are close to each other. We like them very much, and they also instinctively love us, just like real relatives."

"What a pity." Catherine said with a pity: "They can't leave the world tree, they can't go and see the outside world."

"This may not be a good thing. In fact, it is not very difficult for the goddess to leave the world tree." Flar shook his head and said, "But in the end, the adults still kept them the same."

"Yes, the outside world is indeed too dangerous for them." Catherine nodded and said, "Their number is too small. If they really leave the World Tree, they may soon perish."

"So, let them live carefree here." Flar said: "For them, this tree is the whole world, a veritable world tree."
