"Well, actually, the order to summon the fourteenth-level creatures was given by the Grand Dukes, but they had already asked the King for instructions, and it was us, the people from the royal capital, who asked for it, and there was no overstep."
As the chariot of Fisher and his entourage approached the Royal Capital little by little, the black snake species responsible for leading the way did not lead them in the direction of the Royal Capital. Instead, he pointed them in the direction of Taogong's tent and asked Fisher to
Quite puzzled.
It was already scary to see the elf grand duke's camp surrounded by a circle outside the royal capital, not to mention that they were now asked to go directly to the camp of a grand duke. Fisher could clearly feel that there was something inside the royal capital or something inside the royal capital without even guessing.
It is said that the situation in the entire Tree Continent is very wrong.
But Fisher took a distant look at the open gate of the royal capital and the grand dukes outside. After a moment of silence, he decided to listen to the black snake envoy and go to Duke Tao's camp first.
So, what needs to be thought about is: Why do the elves summon fourteenth-level beings to go to the royal capital?
The first thing Fisher thought was that the fourteenth level is the closest to the mythical level and is not a mythical creature. So, might these elves need to complete something that cannot be done by people of the mythical level?
?
Fisher glanced at Gelsemium behind him and asked him to stare at the front for a while. Then he came to the carriage again and looked at Heller who was still playing with his finger in the water stupidly. He got closer and whispered.
asked,
"We may meet the Elf Grand Dukes later. Their rank is not low. Is it possible that you will be seen through by them?"
Heller looked at him, moved closer to him without retreating, and blew the wind in his ear in a very naughty manner, and also said in a low voice,
"Don't worry, these elves will never be able to see through my disguise."
"...so smart?"
"It's so powerful. As long as I don't take action, it won't be exposed. So don't think about me until you are at the end of your rope. It's good for everyone."
Fisher took a step back speechlessly, wanting to rub his ears that were itchy from her breath.
He even wondered if it was possible that this guy wouldn't be exposed as long as he didn't attack in front of the Elf Grand Duke. Was he just saying this to him in order to fulfill her long-cherished wish of unlimited paddling?
However, this guy seems to be really good at pretending.
Fisher's peripheral vision stared at the slightly convex fake breasts that turned into her halo, but he didn't expect to be noticed by her keenly.
The smile on her face deepened little by little, and then she deliberately raised her head and puffed out her chest with a hateful expression that said, "It's really big." This gave Fisher a headache and wanted to do what Gelsemium taught him just now.
"Abstinence action".
"We are the envoys who went to Wutong Kingdom to carry out the decree. Please tell Mr. Tao that I have returned with the Phoenix."
Ignoring the evil angel, as Fisher and his chariot got closer and closer to Peach Blossom's camp, the black snake who led the way jumped out of the carriage and swam towards the front. Behind him, the driver resumed driving.
Fisher also moved a little slower, watching the black snake species arrive at the door of the camp first and report to the other party.
Taogong's garrison is all made up of various demi-humans, but in fact there are not many high-ranking ones, and most of them are even lower than the dragon race. Only after the black snake reported it, from the middle tent
A maid walked out with a long white cloth covering her face.
The white cloth on the maid's head was vividly embroidered with a branch with some pink peach blossoms. Fisher didn't know whether the other party was a human or a demi-human, but a faint feeling told him that the rank of the maid in front of him was
The position is not low.
"I understand. Please bring them with me. Mr. Tao is not in the camp at the moment. He is discussing matters with other princes outside. He may come back later. Please let them eat first."
"yes."
Black Snake looked back at the few people who also got off the car and motioned for them to come over quickly. Even though the maid's face was covered by a piece of white cloth, she still seemed to be able to see them. She seemed to sense that some of these people only had level zero. She
After a pause, Vukong looked at Karasawa Asuka and Mikhail Yin Er who got out of the car, and said,
"The Grand Dukes only want people of the fourteenth rank, so how come they are allowed to bring slaves?"
"this..."
The black snake hesitated to speak and came closer, whispering in the other person's ear to explain something to the maid. Then the maid hesitated for a moment and nodded to let them enter the camp, as if she was ready to wait for Mr. Tao to come back before making a decision.
.
"I'm not a slave..."
Karasawa Asuka, who was behind, heard the maid's words and was about to whisper something in a low voice, but suddenly thought of the last time the trouble came out of her mouth. She didn't want to cause any more trouble to her companions, so she immediately covered her mouth.
Not a single word came out, and he carefully looked around to make sure no one heard him before he put down his hand with confidence.
Gelsemium noticed her little movements, and of course he knew what she was thinking about, so he smiled and shook his head.
Fisher and his party walked into the tent. To his surprise, as a faint peach fragrance hit him, the moment he opened the tent, there was something inside the tent that obviously didn't look spacious.
Suddenly, an extremely dense peach forest appeared. The space inside seemed endless. Birds were singing, flowers were fragrant, and streams were gurgling. It looked like a fairyland.
When Fisher saw this strange space-like scene in the tent, the illusory golden font once again appeared in front of his eyes.
[You have discovered the ancient clues of the elves·1]
[Do you want to read the content of this clue to obtain the social research progress of the elves? 】
Fisher was stunned for a moment, looking at the extremely familiar interface in front of him, and while walking into the extremely spacious sea of peach blossom trees in the camp, he silently said "Yes" in his heart.
[Ancient Clues of Elf Species·1: The Peach Blossom Land of a Moment]
[Clue content: From the perspective of elves, the so-called path of destiny actually consists of two directions, namely "universe" and "universe", which correspond to the ultimate concepts of "space" and "time" respectively. The higher the level of the elven species,
The perception of destiny becomes clearer, which comes from their blood as the descendants of the World Tree. Therefore, although the abilities of all elves seem to be ever-changing, in fact they all lead to the same destination through different paths.]
[The beautiful peach blossom garden in front of you has already forged the terrifying abilities of a very high-level elf, and you can get a glimpse of the true wonder of fate from here.]
[Recorder’s comment: Tsk, I don’t have much to say, so I’ll just recite “The Peach Blossom Spring” from my junior high school to you~ In Taiyuanzhong of Jin Dynasty, the people of Wuling were engaged in fishing... Well, I seem to have forgotten the latter part.
It’s been so long since I’ve been here that my memory isn’t very good. It’s such a pity.]
Fisher looked at the words in the illusory text that he didn't know what they were referring to. For a moment, he couldn't keep up with the thoughts of the Asian Girl contributor. He hesitated for a moment, looked back at Asuka Karasawa, and asked,
"Tangze, do you know what "Peach Blossom Spring" is?"
"It's...hey, Peach Blossom Spring...I don't seem to know. It sounds like ancient prose or something? Is it the content of our world?"
"Um."
"I...I don't know...Sorry."
Karasawa, uneducated and unskilled, Asuka lowered her head and turned slightly red.
Although he said that he was a traveler from another world, it seemed that he didn't know several questions that Teacher Fisher asked him, and he didn't feel like a guest in a foreign land at all.
Karasawa Asuka didn't know that Fisher was not surprised at all. He looked at Mikhail behind him, and the other party shook his head imperceptibly and said,
"If I had the opportunity to connect to the Internet, I might be able to tell you the answer. Where I live, few people care about such ancient literature anymore. For us people there, the past is a scar that hurts when touched."
"That... doesn't matter."
Fisher, who didn't get an answer, couldn't say how disappointed he was. He had already gotten some hints from this ancient clue.
But if he gets the research progress on Elven society...where can he find a female Elf to study? They are all mythological species, very powerful, like Eliog, who can stand still and let Fisher
After all, what is studied is only a minority among the minority.
"Everyone, you are the first batch of people to arrive in the royal capital. The Grand Duke may not show up until everyone has arrived. Before that, please wait here for a while."
"...Do we have to wait for everyone to arrive? How long will it take? It shouldn't have been long before the royal capital's decree was issued, right?"
Hearing this, Gelsemium was the first to ask questions. After all, the Tree Continent is so vast. It would take a month for them to gather everyone and transport them to the royal capital, right?
"That's true, but the flow of time within the barrier set up by Mr. Tao here will be completely different. You won't have to wait too long for Mr. Tao to show up."
The maid with a peach blossom embroidered on the white cloth in front of her face said as she led everyone to a wide peach blossom forest. Several wooden tables and straw mats were already placed here, and some food was placed on them. Karasawa
Asuka glanced at them and saw that they were all big and tender pink peaches. The moment she saw the peaches, she couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, obviously wanting to taste them.
"What's the specific time?"
"Within one day... During this period, you can walk around and rest freely here, and you can also take the peaches as food at will. But be careful not to eat too much. For us, Tao Gong's peaches are too much.
It will be uncomfortable..."
Before she could finish her words, there was already the sound of people eating delicious food from the other side of the table. Everyone looked sideways, only to see Heller sitting cross-legged in front of a wooden table at some point, with a big and fat one in each hand.
He took a bite of the peach from the left side and then took a bite from the right side.
Some of the peach juice was on her lips, and she continued to eat it without caring. She looked innocently at the maid who listened to the explanation because of her, and said,
"You continue...you continue..."
"...I have nothing more to say, so please wait here."
Seeing Heller, who was as happy and comfortable as if he had returned to his own home, the maid was also silenced for a second. She paused for a moment, and then she was able to speak.
Then, she turned her head as if saying goodbye, stretched her hand in the void, and the space seemed to be turned into the curtains of the tent outside. She was lifted up by her, and she walked out through the gap between the curtains, leaving Fisher behind.
The group of people continued to look at each other among them.
"You are so arrogant. We were taken directly into the barrier set by an elf prince. We don't even know how to get out..."
Fisher sat next to Heller who was eating a lot, looked at the peaceful and fairyland-like peach blossom forest around him, and said this.
Heller was obviously very beautiful, but her eating movements were not elegant at all. In other words, she could be elegant but was too lazy to do so. Her cheeks were slightly bulging, and as she spoke, she spit out a peach core and flew it far away.
In the land, her unclear words came next,
"The Elf Grand Duke is a nineteenth-level being, and Tao Gong is the best among them. Compared with the Elf King, he is not far behind. Even if you are worried now, there is nothing you can do. If you are discovered, just wait for death, and you can run away anyway.
Don’t go out~ Do you really not want to eat this peach? It’s really delicious.”
"..."
Looking at the fat peach that Heller handed over with a smile, Fisher no longer worried that the other party would poison it.
Just as Heller said, if the beings at the top of the 19th level really find out that their group comes from the Holy Realm, they can all be used to plant peach trees without this method.
Fisher chewed a bite of the peach, and his mouth was instantly occupied by the refreshing sweetness. The taste was unbelievably delicious. Asuka Karasawa, who was tasting it at the same time, covered her cheeks and said with enjoyment,
"Hmm! Delicious!"
"Elves like to use the bodies of intelligent creatures to grow plants, and then use the fruits made from these plants as food. This is the custom of the elves... He reincarnated, and kept the body to plant a tree; what was defeated?
Kill the enemy, bury him, and plant a tree; during the festival, kill a slave, plant a tree, and eat the fruit... Different plants have different effects, such as being delicious, increasing physical strength, prolonging life, etc.
of......"
At this moment, Heller, who seemed to be full after eating two peaches, lay down on the ground boredly. He remembered something as if reminiscing, and said this.
Fisher, who was eating peaches next to him, froze slightly, and Asuka Karasawa, who was next to him, turned pale and could hardly hold the peach in his hand.
"No...no way, Angel Hell...you mean..."
"Ah, no, this is a normal peach. I'm just telling you about the cultural customs of the elves~"
“Don’t popularize scary knowledge at this time!
"
Asuka Karasawa couldn't bear it anymore and was furious. She wanted to draw a circle on the spot and curse Heller who was smiling and joking. But of course, she also knew that the method of intimidating her fellow high school girls would not work for this angel.
Effective.
Fisher continued to eat peaches speechlessly. On the other hand, the Gelsemium in front of him ate one and then stopped eating. He seemed to have known that what Heller said was to tease them; while Mikhail had no appetite at all.
, I have been sitting there with my eyes closed, as if I haven’t fully recovered from the sequelae of mental illness.
Karasawa Asuka, who was almost full after eating a peach, saw that everyone else had quieted down. Even the Hell Angel who liked to do mischief the most in Xunri lay down on the ground and took a nap. She also kept silent sensibly and quietly.
He leaned against a peach tree nearby and prepared to practice the magic that Teacher Fisher gave him.
Although her studies in her previous life were really rubbish, she is very interested in this brand new theory. It seems that every time she holds a carving knife and carves, it feels like writing calligraphy, which makes her feel quite familiar...
But did she often write calligraphy before?
Don't be kidding, every time my father asks me to copy Buddhist scriptures, I am always lazy...
As her magic circuit lit up again, she slowly entered a state of concentration that was engraving magic, and the surrounding area gradually became quiet, as if the only sound in the world was her own breathing.
"Winter...winter...winter..."
But the next second, in this state, she suddenly felt something was wrong behind her, but when she turned her head and looked, there was only a quiet peach tree behind her.
The peach trees were covered with the plump peaches they had just eaten. It seemed that all the peach trees in this forest were in the period of bearing fruit.
Looking at the quiet peach tree in front of her, Karasawa Asuka narrowed her eyes, and then she seemed to feel something and lightly touched the peach tree in front of her.
With her slight touch, the branches of the peach tree in front of her swayed slightly, and the peach, which was already too fat to hang on the branch, tilted slightly and rolled down towards her silently.
"bump..."
The peach almost hit her on the head, but after the peach fell, Asuka Karasawa was surprised to find that the place where the peach fell had another fat peach that was exactly the same.
Time...went back?
Asuka Karasawa stared blankly at the peaches that grew back on the tree, and suddenly became curious about the connection between the fallen peaches and the peaches still on the tree.
She lowered her head and wanted to pick up the fallen peach for comparison, but suddenly she realized that there was a hillside in front of her, and the fallen peach had already rolled down the hillside.
not good.
She quickly stood up and ran towards the direction of the rolling peach. She felt as if she had only run two or three steps, but when she easily picked up the peach and turned back, she found that she seemed to be already in the same place.
Another strange place.
She squeezed the peach in her hand blankly, and suddenly panicked again, but compared with this simple thought, another, stronger regret and self-blame came to her heart...
She seems to have caused trouble for others again.
She didn't dare to make a sound, as if delaying Teacher Fisher and the others would give her time to breathe.
Karasawa Asuka pouted, squatted on the ground, hammered her face hard, and muttered,
"Pick up peaches...damn peaches...oooo..."
"Hey, why is there a crying miscellaneous fish here?"
"Why?"
Just when she was squatting down, sobbing and blaming herself, wondering why she wanted to follow that moment of inspiration to compare some damn peaches, an extremely childish child's voice suddenly came from nearby.
Karasawa Asuka looked blankly, but suddenly found that she was standing next to a clear stream. Both sides of the stream were covered with pink peach trees. Pink peach blossoms hung down, and they were dotted with peach petals.
Stunning view.
The fallen peach petals are colorfully scattered in the creek, in the moist soil on the bank, and on the raised rocks in the creek.
At the end of the creek, there is a peach tree that is much taller than the other peach trees.
On the branch in the middle of the peach tree, I don’t know when a female doll, carved in pink and jade, sat.
The female doll was wearing a pale pink skirt, with her two pink feet exposed. She swayed slightly as she sat on a branch, and her long black hair was tied into two elegant buns.
Flying fairy bun, there is also a pink and elegant peach blossom blooming in the middle of the flying fairy bun. I don’t know if it is real or just a hair accessory.
The female doll looked cute and young, and her clothes were elegant and luxurious, but the expression on her face looked disgusting, contemptuous, and naughty.
She held a small pink folding fan in her hand. She gently shook the folding fan in her hand with one hand, and covered her mocking mouth with the other hand. However, her condescending and annoying look was clearly captured by Asuka Karasawa.
.
"Huh? What did you say?!"
"Ah, didn't you hear that, you miscellaneous fish?"
The little loli tilted her head in confusion, and the expression on her face seemed to be that she was doubting whether Karasawa Asuka in front of her had a brain. However, the repetition of "miscellaneous fish" made the already annoyed Karasawa Asuka even more.
I'm so angry.
She rolled up her sleeves angrily, pointed at the female doll above and cursed loudly,
"You, you, you...you rude brat!"
The female doll looked at the red-eyed female high school student jumping with anger and laughed even deeper. She opened her small folding fan and covered most of her child's face, but did not cover her leaky mouth.
