"Two guests, are you looking for me?" Nuo Daniel saw Heidi and Katrina walking towards him, so he pointed at himself in confusion.
Heidi smiled cordially and said: "No Daniel, your speech on natural balance just now was really great and interesting!"
She noticed that Nodiel had a relatively cheerful personality, so she greeted him with a familiar look, calling her "ma'am" or "ma'am" without being polite.
Hearing Heidi's sincere and straightforward praise, Nodaniel suddenly felt a little shy and waved his hand slightly awkwardly: "I just compiled the ideas that the elders usually expounded."
"My name is Heidi, and this is my companion Katrina. I just came to the forest as a guest today. I am very happy to meet you for the first time." Heidi became more and more enthusiastic.
She was not as introverted as Annick, so she introduced herself to Nodaniel openly.
Being with such chatty, cheerful and non-pressurizing guests, Nuo Daniel's nervousness quickly dissipated, and the conversation became natural.
"Well, we were entrusted by Her Majesty the Queen to investigate the demonization of a small number of elves. Regarding Tris, we have some questions to ask you." After chatting for a while, Heidi asked directly without covering up.
Nodaniel was silent for a moment and said with a sad expression: "Heidi, Katrina, if you have any questions in this regard, feel free to ask. I very much hope that you can find the source of the corruption and let Tris and the others recover. Even if they cannot recover,
Don't suffer like this anymore.
"Did Tris show any signs of abnormality before she fell?" Katrina asked according to the standard questions discussed by Yurisian, Felipe and others.
Nodaniel is a sun elf, with fair skin and brilliant blond hair. She looks quite noble under the sunlight, but there is no smile on her face. She said while recalling: "At least for me, before this
Nothing too strange happens in life. The partners also hunt every day, pick fruits, and look for repairs in places where the balance in the forest may be broken. Then they understand nature, understand magic, choreograph dances, sing music, and read.
Various classics after the age of mythology..."
Everything was so peaceful, so leisurely, and such a beautiful life seemed to never be broken, but: "That morning, I suddenly noticed that the magic patterns on Tris's skin had changed, and they were full of hatred and killing.
I felt everything was fine yesterday. We danced the special dance she just learned and said good night to each other."
"Special dance?" Heidi recorded Nodaniel's answer in her magic notebook, subconsciously paying attention to the dance described as "special".
Nuo Daniel nodded slightly: "She said Ms. Martha taught her, can I dance for you?"
Heidi and Katrina responded simultaneously, half investigating and half curious: "Okay!"
Nodaniel took a few steps back and danced very rhythmically without any musical accompaniment.
Many of the moves in this dance are quite weird and almost go against the normal physiological conditions, which means that the elf's body is light and the flexibility is exaggerated, so it can barely do it.
"Although the movements are difficult and strange, I have to say that this dance is really beautiful..." Heidi moved her left hand and legs. She had the urge to join the dance, but she patted herself in annoyance.
Face, I'm thinking about making myself a bottle of blood-stimulating potion after I go back. Otherwise, I won't be able to learn this dance at all.
Katrina beat the time for Nodaniel, and secretly connected with her mind: "This dance is of the sacrificial type, and it gives me a strange feeling. I will mention it when we compile the information later."
During the dance, Nuo Daniel seemed to recall his friends, and gradually exuded a sad and mournful mood. It took him a long time to calm down, and asked in a low voice: "Is this dance okay?"
"There are no magic fluctuations, no magical aura, and there are no strange beings snooping, but it does not mean that there are no problems. You'd better not jump again until the matter is investigated clearly." Heidi liked this new elf friend very much.
Remind her specifically.
After Nodaniel nodded in agreement, Katrina continued to ask: "A few days before the fall, did Tris have any changes in her mood, or any changes in her concepts?"
Nodaniel recalled carefully: "She felt a little disappointed, because the magic pattern grew slowly and there was no substantial breakthrough, so she told me seriously that she wanted to become a druid, learn natural magic, and play a role in maintaining the balance of nature.
A greater role.”
To play a greater role in maintaining the balance of nature... Heidi frowned and recorded what Nodaniel said, and at the same time asked casually: "Are you a Druid?"
"Well, I just became a nature guardian, which is what you call an intermediate druid." Nodaniel was quite proud of his status as a "nature guardian", and the haze between his brows disappeared a lot.
Elves are not divided into levels like humans by low, middle, high, first, second, and third, but the levels are the same. "Natural Guardian" is a Druid apprentice, "Nature Friend" is a junior Druid, and "Nature Guardian"
It is a mid-level druid, and the "staff bearer" is a high-level druid (including ninth level).
Heidi was very interested in the Druid profession, so she learned more about it.
"... Every elf can sense the favor of nature, so he can become a guardian of nature without any hindrance. Then we need to sublimate our understanding of nature into our own ideas and implement them in our daily actions.
Among them, with the integration of ideas and nature, we will form a 'natural heart' similar to how you perceive the world. This is named after the core of the elf tree and is the basis for performing formal magic..." Nodaniel did not hide it.
.
The three of them chatted for a long time before they separated.
In the evening, Heidi and Katrina returned to the tree house with the magic notebook filled with harvests, and summarized the intelligence with Yurisian, Felipe, Annick, Splinter, etc.!
"Special dance...Ms. Martha..." Yurisian muttered these two nouns, "More than 70% of the fallen are related to the special dance, and 30% follow Martha.
I learned it from a lady, but I don’t know where they learned it from…”
Felipe said in a low voice: "It may be the custom of the elves. They love dancing very much."
"No matter what, let's go see that Ms. Martha tomorrow." Yurisian said.
At this time, Annick said shyly and solemnly: "Could it be a dance similar to the 'Viken's special summoning ceremony'? There is nothing strange on the surface, but the focus is on the concepts or emotions that are instilled and formed in the learning process?
"
Heidi had just cracked such a case and was very sensitive about it. She nodded seriously: "It is possible that there is a natural hatred faction. Hatred. I remember that there was one among the ancient devils called 'hatred.'"
"The problem is that 80% of the fallen and demonized elves are from the Natural Balance Faction, and the remaining 20% are still swinging between the two factions. The real Nature Hate Faction elves are rarely corrupted, otherwise the Elf King
People in the court have long noticed something strange..." Yurisian looked at the data table in front of him and rubbed his forehead.
After Lucien, Natasha, and Atlante inspected the "Heart of Nature", they went to the "Captivity" under the leadership of Malfurion and Lantheer, trying to find clues from the fallen elves.
The "prison" of the elves is still a hut made of tree trunks, but this part of the tree trunks is iron-grey and as hard as steel. This is due to the special nature of the trees themselves and the blessing of natural magic.
Landseer asked the two elves guarding the "prison" to open the door and enter first. There was a shrill and terrifying howl, just like the "wailing" of wild beasts in the forest at night, which made people tremble with fear.
The two guarding elves showed sad expressions. They were their companions, not wild beasts!
Lucien, Natasha and Atlante stood outside a cell, looking at the fallen elf inside through the gaps in the trees.
This is an elf girl with a beautiful appearance, but her magic patterns have spread from her neck and arms to her whole body. Her face and hands seem to be painted with scary and mysterious abstract paintings, and they are different from the bright green of ordinary elf magic patterns.
There is a trace of blood among the dark green, which is extremely ferocious.
"It looks like the pattern on the back of a human-faced spider..." Natasha said in the spiritual connection.
Indeed, this elf’s magic patterns and skin show signs of spider transformation!
"I'm going to kill you!"
“For a green and pure world!”
"All intelligent life must die!"
The fallen elf girl rushed to the gap in the tree trunk and looked at Lucien and the others with wide eyes. Her pupils were no longer agile and only had a deep sense of violence and destruction. There was a solid red mass in the center. At the same time, she opened
He opened his mouth and bit the tree trunk with his teeth. It seemed that he could only rely on such primitive means to attack because he was unable to use spells and natural abilities.
The two rows of teeth that were originally neat and white were now as white as bones.
"Natural Balance Sect..." Malfurion introduced the identity of the elf girl to Lucien and the others.
Lucien and Atlante had seen countless horrific scenes, and were not affected by such scenes. They each used magic to check the elf girl's condition.
Time passed by, Lucien smoothly suppressed the extent of the elf girl's depravity and said: "It is basically certain that it is related to the contamination of the elf tree, but I don't know whether it is the cause or the result. Likewise, prophecy can only tell me
, all fallen elves have something deeply in common beneath the surface, and this is the key."
"In this regard, I will ask Elestine and the others to cooperate with the magician's investigation. You two will go to the crevices of the abyss with me first to have a look?" Lancier suggested.
Lucien nodded without objection.
At this time, because Lucien suppressed the fallen power, the elf girl's eyes suddenly became clearer, and she held her head in pain: "Why is this happening! Why is this happening!"
A green light glowed on her body, and a faint sense of tranquility flowed out.
Lucien's expression changed and he was about to stop him, but Malfurion sighed: "She is in so much pain, let her free herself. There are other fallen elves who can investigate..."
The elf girl hummed a beautiful melody:
"Every elf is a tree, coming from nature and returning to nature..."
"We are born from love and union, we return in peace and tranquility, we sing for the forest, we rejoice in life..."
With the ethereal singing, the green light on her body gradually became richer, and then Malfurion opened the door of the cell.
The elf girl stepped out like a dance and bowed deeply to Lucien, Natasha and Atlante:
"Every elf is a tree, rooted in the earth and breathing the sky..."
"We guard nature and maintain balance..."
She flew outside with difficulty, and the green light wrapped around her, and then slowly fell to the ground.
"Every elf is a tree..."
The singing became smaller and smaller, but it echoed melodiously, the green light disappeared, and a tall and graceful tree appeared in the forest.
Every elf will turn into a tree after death, that's why they love green so much.
"We must investigate the cause of the fall." Witnessing this scene, Natasha clenched her right hand tightly and said to herself.
Lucien closed his eyes, turned to Lanhir and said, "Let's go to the cracks in the abyss to have a look."
