Even though there are people leading the way, the longer you walk in the misty forest, the easier it is to feel panicked, as if the people around you will suddenly disappear in the blink of an eye.
"You can see it, we're almost home!" Emily's voice came again, the pitch suddenly rising several degrees.
Mo Xiao and others raised their heads and looked forward. Their vision was filled with endless thick fog, and they could not see anything.
"No wonder no race can find the place where elves live." Patty's feeling reached everyone's ears, "A place like this is really a natural sanctuary."
"There are still dead bodies. If we don't guard against these things, it can't be said to be safe." Reyes waved the stone sword in his hand, "But considering the situation on the Lunya continent, it is still better than other places."
As they talked, the group of people got closer and closer to the rumored forest of elves. Mo Xiao was also murmuring in his heart: Could it be that the hometown of the elves has also been shrouded in boundless white mist, and nothing can be seen?
, the difficulty of investigation has skyrocketed.
However, when everyone stepped across a "boundary", their eyes suddenly opened up, and the thick fog that had been surrounding them suddenly disappeared without any warning. Looking back, the thick fog was still there, and one step made a huge difference.
"Is this also a unique natural environment in the demon world?" Mo Xiao whispered, his eyes full of confusion.
"I'm afraid not..." The mysterious pendant suddenly said, "There should be something special here. We are in the right place."
Looking straight ahead, Mo Xiao saw an ancient castle built on a hillside. It stood quietly in the distance, as if it had stood here since ancient times.
Surrounding the ancient castle, there are a large number of beautiful buildings scattered around. Some are made of huge stones, and some are made of trees. They expand outward in circles and are neatly arranged. Presumably, the elves already had a sense of planning when they first built the town.
.
"Everyone, this is Mayer, a town belonging to the elves located in the Elf Forest."
Looking at the familiar scenery, Emily's expression was very depressed, and her ears drooped slightly.
"Are you uneasy?"
Ye Xiaoying stood next to her and noticed the changes in her mood.
Emily was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly: "...Well, I'm very scared, afraid of seeing an empty town."
"Hey, what are you afraid of?" Mo Xiao walked past her and patted her shoulder, "You haven't adjusted your mentality after so many years? High elves are not that fragile, right?"
Emily's depressed expression suddenly turned cold and stern: "Please don't belittle my glory as a high elf."
"Well, that's right." Mo Xiao pinched his chin and smiled.
Emily gathered her mood and led everyone into the town. What appeared in front of them was a town with an architectural style similar to that of Mori Lanka. The difference was that a large number of trees dotted the streets and surroundings of the town, making the entire Mayer
They are all lush and green, and appear to be unusually full of vitality. When walking on the streets, there is a refreshing fragrance all around. The smell is refreshing and refreshing. Here, the forest and the town are cleverly integrated together.
The temperature here is suitable. Compared with the ice and snow outside, Mayer seems to be in spring all the time.
The only drawback is...it's quiet here. Except for the occasional dead body, there's no living person in sight. The temperature is obviously much higher than outside, but it's also much cooler than the outside world.
Mo Xiao and the others casually opened a door of a house and walked in. The daily necessities were all complete, but there was a layer of dust everywhere. The uneaten food was still on the table, but it had already rotted.
It doesn’t look like its original appearance.
It can be seen that the elves left very suddenly, which is basically consistent with what Emily said.
Returning to the street, Mo Xiao wondered: "Why are there so few dead bodies found in Mayer? Isn't it because there are no elves to clean them up? Mayer is surrounded by forests. It's strange no matter how you think about it."
Emily was startled and fell into thinking. After a while, she replied: "It's probably because of the fog. In addition, Mayer is an empty city now. There are no living residents and naturally it won't attract the walking dead." Mo Xiao nodded, this reason barely made sense.
"Where do you want to go next?" Emily asked. She was only responsible for leading the way. The investigation also depends on this group of people.
Mo Xiao did not answer, but pointed to the ancient castle in the distance and asked: "Does the Elf Queen live in the castle in the center?"
Emily nodded: "That's the place where the royal palace, the Elf Royal Family, the Oracle, and various real power agencies are located together."
Mo Xiao took out the alexandrite that Gui Li had given him and was said to have been blessed by the Queen of Elf. Seeing that there was no movement on the gem, he sighed and said, "There don't seem to be many valuable clues in the residence. When something happened, you saw
Where is the place that leads to the white light? Let’s check it out first, and then go to the palace if there are no clues.”
Emily had no objection and led the way without saying a word. She felt heavy in her heart when she looked at the weeds that had grown on the ground due to lack of maintenance for a long time.
"Don't just bury your head in the road, look around." Patty reminded everyone, "Besides the white light, there may be something else when a catastrophe occurs. Let's pay attention."
Everyone followed Emily's slow steps. Judging from the buildings on the street, the elves in the past were a group of ingenious creatures. Compared with the simple and practical storefront carvings in Mori Lanka, the walls or columns here
, all like to carve some complex and beautiful decorative patterns, and if taken alone, these carvings can be called exquisite works of art.
"Elves have long lifespans. In addition to essential skills such as archery, many elves also develop other hobbies. The carvings you see are one of the more popular ones."
When Emily said this, her tone was obviously proud.
Shu Mo added: "There is still time to develop hobbies. The elves used to live much better than the dwarves outside."
"In terms of living standards alone, you are right." Emily said with a recalling tone, "There are still large open spaces around Mayer. The soil here is better than outside, and the number of elves is already high.
Not much, the food and fruits grown can provide sufficient supply."
"What a paradise..." Ye Xiaoying sighed in a low voice.
"Not a bad adjective." Emily said softly, "Compared to the crisis-ridden Lunya continent, Mayer does not have those terrible natural disasters, the climate is also very good, and there is fog to isolate the disturbance of other races, but now... ugh
."
With a sigh, Emily shook her head helplessly. The better the days in the past, the more uncomfortable she felt when thinking of the suffering later.
"We are here. This is the place where the elves perform baptism in the holy spring." Emily stopped and pointed to a building directly in front of her.
This is a more exquisite house than ordinary houses. There are two towering trees on both sides of the gate. The trunks are thick and straight. The tree crowns cover a wide area. They look like two giant pillars.
, the main body of this house is made of white rocks, and the tiles on the top of the house are also made of white stones. Together with the exquisite reliefs on the surrounding walls, it looks like a palace.
