"Na...Xi, are you telling the truth? Do you know the situation around here? Do you know where there are still things left?"
As Naxi finished speaking, Lilian's face was startled for a moment, and then she quickly asked eagerly.
"Hmm!" The elf was stunned by Lilian's quick question, but after getting along with him for this period of time and staying with Colin, she was no longer very afraid of Lilian.
So she frowned hard and organized a reply: "Little Naxi can't explain clearly. Little Naxi seems to have been here before, but it seems like she has never been here before..."
Then Naxi raised her head and continued to add: "But what little Naxi said is true. Little Naxi just knows that there is nothing left around here! This... this stone..." Naxi said that it was slightly stuck here.
"Forest in the Stone."
But Lilian on the side seemed to have thought of something, and added at the right time.
"This is what the other races of elves, especially the tree elves, call this place... As for the elves, they call this place the Forest of Solid Earth." At the same time, Lilian also explained to Colin.
‘The relationship between the high elves and the other elves is really not very good.’ Colin nodded slightly.
"Yes, in the entire Forest of Stone, there are only things left there. The other places are just empty, leaving only the empty shells of stone trees!" Naxi glanced at Lilian and continued.
"Senior Lilian..." Colin cast his gaze and asked inquiringly.
Lilian pursed her lips tightly. She thought silently for a moment, then turned to look at Naxi in the hood and the vast forest outside the window. Finally, she turned back to Naxi and continued to ask:
"Naxi, where is the area you mentioned?"
The breeze blew, lifting the broken hair on Lillian's forehead. Even though this stone tree had not been inhabited for many years, it still maintained good functions.
Naxi continued to answer, and Colin and the two listened silently.
Not long after, the hidden sound of wind blew by, and they quietly left the stone tree.
Under the leadership of the elf Naxi, the two of them rushed towards the only area where there was still something in her mouth.
There is a high probability that little Naxi is not lying, and her previous ability to open the closed door in the stone tree with ease also vaguely proves this.
So in the current situation where I have no clue, I choose to go to the place Na Xi mentioned to check it out first. Naturally, I don’t need to think too much about it.
Moreover, if the third group of unknown people also came to the Forest of Stones, the surrounding stone trees would be just empty shells as Naxi said.
Then it is very likely that they went to that area.
But they didn't fly very far. After just passing a few stone trees, the sight they saw made Colin and the two of them slow down their flight speed.
In the field of vision, various exquisite buildings on several stone trees fell down together with their supporting branches, falling to the ground and turning into lifeless ruins.
"Perhaps it is in disrepair..." Lilian quickly withdrew her gaze and came to a conclusion. Now she only wanted to follow Naxi's instructions and reach the area as soon as possible where there might be something that could heal Atbald's injury.
"But there are only these few stone trees... This is more like a broken battle." Colin frowned slightly and made a different sound.
The space in the mountain is not regular, perhaps to make it more like a real forest. The distance between stone trees is not too large. Even though there are not many branches, the field of vision is very limited.
Therefore, it was not until they left the nearest stone tree and walked a few steps forward that they discovered some unusual signs on these trees.
"Maybe... No matter where you are, there will always be battles, right?" Lilian turned her head again and took a closer look at the stone trees, and added: "And only a few branches fell, and the rest of the big trees fell.
Some branches, including the main trunk, have remained intact.
Therefore, even if it is a battle, I am afraid it will only be a very small-scale battle... Don’t take it too seriously, let’s go.”
"Yeah." Colin retracted his gaze and continued to fly forward with Lillian.
No matter how those branches fell, it is at least certain that they are very old, and the specific circumstances of the fall can be seen at a glance. Not much information can be obtained, and there is really no need to waste time and stay longer.
The next journey was far farther than Colin and the two imagined. Even at their speed, it took almost half a day. After passing through a large area, under the guidance of Naxi, they came to a place.
An area that is clearly different from other places.
The reason for the difference is that the tall stone trees here are all dyed lapis lazuli with some kind of pigment, while the previous ones were light cyan.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the lush stone tree in the middle of this area, which is obviously more than a circle thicker than the surrounding stone trees!
Although it is thicker than a circle, its shape is more beautiful than the surrounding stone trees. The outstretched branches are densely packed and numerous, and they are like a lush umbrella canopy... Compared with it, the other stone trees are just like a luxuriant umbrella.
Like the bare trees that wither and wither in winter.
If it weren't for the fact that the essence of the stone pillar can still be seen from the details, this stone tree would seem to be a lifelike ancient giant tree!
"We're here!" Perhaps he had been here before. The elf reacted first and pointed at the huge stone tree and shouted, "That's the place where little Naxi said there are many things!"
"This is probably the core of the entire High Elf Territory..." Lilian murmured, "The tallest stone tree is probably modeled after the legendary Ancient Tree of Life!"
"...The construction ability of the Liar family is breathtaking." Colin also sighed, with some expectation in his heart.
According to the results of Ananduo's dice, there must be treasures in the mountains...
Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, the scope of the other treasure previously revealed by Ananduo's Dice was too huge, covering almost half of the mountain. He was now not sure whether it was this giant tree that contained the treasure.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When he got here, he discovered that the position led by Naxi was exactly what it looked like now.
"Without further ado, let's go quickly." Lilian turned around and urged.
The two came closer.
This stone tree, like the previous stone tree, has a gorgeous stone door at the lower end of the stone tree.
It's just that... this stone tree is different from the one we first encountered. The stone door is closed tightly.
‘Could it be that that group of people didn’t come here?’ Colin was confused.
"Junior Colin." Lilian shouted eagerly towards Colin, and the brilliance of witchcraft suddenly brewed in her hands.
"Yeah." Colin gathered his thoughts and responded softly with understanding. At the same time, he cast Silence at the stone door.
Before approaching the stone gate, they had checked the surrounding area and found no suspicious figures.
Whoosh.
Similarly, Lillian sprinkled a few sesame-sized brown seeds toward the stone door.
Under the influence of witchcraft, they were firmly attached to the stone door and began to take root and sprout.
But this time, the witchcraft that had been so invincible in that stone tree lost its due effect.
No matter how hard those seeds tried to grow roots, they could only turn into withered remains and slowly fall, and were then put away by the cautious Lilian.
During the whole process, there was no special change in the stone gate, no light appeared, no sound came out, it just quietly and effortlessly blocked Lilian's witchcraft, which was at least the first level.
"Maybe he happened to be restrained...I'll give it a try." Colin speculated, and at the same time slowly stretched out his hand towards the stone door, and a light red light suddenly emerged from his palm.
Now that the fireball technique has broken through, the forms it can use are no longer just fireballs. He plans to stretch the fireballs into bundles and then condense them to increase their temperature, thereby trying to use the high temperature to cut the stone door.
It is usually difficult to have time to use such a change in battle, so the most commonly used form in battle is the fireball form. But in a situation like this, there is naturally plenty of time for it to be used.
"What a giant, let Naxi try it!"
But before Colin's palm even touched the stone door, he heard Naxi yelling from behind.
Then, before he could react, Naxi waved her hand gently.
Along with a burst of light green light, it quickly faded from the stone door, and then there was a click.
Lilian on the side gave a timely push, and the heavy stone door opened smoothly, revealing the scene inside.
"How about it, little Naxi is awesome!" the elf said, taking credit.
"Awesome, you are one of the most powerful elves I have ever seen!" Lilian opened the stone door, her heart relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face. She was about to praise Naxi sincerely, but at the end she couldn't help it.
He was keenly aware of the strange movement in his hair, so he added two more words.
"What a giant, what do you think?" Lillian's praise alone was not enough, Naxi then asked Colin with expectant eyes.
"Awesome!" Colin did not hesitate to praise him.
He stared at Naxi, becoming more and more curious in his heart... Naxi looked bright red, but she mastered the natural magic of plants and had the strange ability to open doors.
Not only the door in the void, but also the physical door of the majestic ancient tree here can be opened, which is really awesome!
The ancient green gold tree in front of you is obviously several times larger than the other ordinary light green ancient trees, and the internal structure is also different after entering.
Once inside, it is not a circular corridor, but an ordinary corridor extending forward. However, there is a corner not far away, and you cannot see what is happening at the end of the corridor.
The two sides of the corridor are also different from other stone trees. They are not simple walls, but large or small rooms one after another.
"..." Lilian walked to the brown door of the first room and looked up at the strange burgundy text marked on it.
Colin also walked in and took a closer look. The next second, he couldn't help but frown.
He didn't even recognize the words in front of him.
This lack of understanding does not mean that you do not understand the meaning of the words, but that you have no impression of the characters on the stone gate in front of you!
These strange words engraved on the stone gate are graceful and slender, like vigorous plants that are constantly growing. They should give people a sense of vitality, but at this moment, for some reason, they feel a little wanton and distorted...
But no matter what, such a character is impressive at first glance, not to mention that he also has the help of a super brain. Once you have seen it, you will never forget it!
But there really wasn't the slightest impression in my mind at the moment.
‘This isn’t Elvish either…’ Colin looked at it again.
Although as the elves gradually disappeared, the items and classics that had been passed down basically disappeared with it, and the only ones that remained had been carefully translated many times.
Therefore, since a hundred years ago, the basic education of wizards no longer involves Elvish, but instead involves more frequently used dialects from various continents.
But even so, he still recognized the appearance of the Elvish language, and he had occasionally seen it on the way here before... It was obviously different from the characters in front of him.
"This is..." Colin asked aloud towards Lilian, who also frowned in confusion.
"I don't know either." Lilian shook her head, suspicion flashed in her eyes, "It's not Elvish."
"But isn't this where the high elves live?" Colin frowned.
Lilian silently glanced at the characters in front of the door again, and then suddenly said with some uncertainty:
"No, maybe this is indeed Elvish language, is it...ancient Elvish language?"
"The elves still have ancient elven language? Don't they claim to know it from birth? It has been like this since birth and has never changed." Colin asked curiously.
"I'm not sure, I'm just inferring that my mother once mentioned to me the existence of ancient Elvish language... But whether these characters are ancient Elvish language is still open to question... In short, let's go in and take a look first, and then there will be a room
Search one room."
Lilian replied, subconsciously preparing to use witchcraft to break open the door.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But Xi Mao seemed to have thought of something. She looked at the hood behind Colin and whispered tentatively:
"Little Naxi, can you help open the door here?"
"What a giant?" After hearing this, little Naxi hesitated a little, turned around and asked Colin tentatively.
"Yes." Colin nodded, and the elf no longer hesitated, flew up, and gently shed a beam of light at the door.
Click.
As if using a tried-and-true master key, the door opened instantly.
"Your elves seem to listen to you very much." Seeing this, Lilian pushed the door open and went in. She carried the two elves on her back and said to Colin's spirit.
"Naxi is still a free elf...and is not mine." Colin followed and walked into the room.
The room is not big, and there are several neat rows of bookshelves inside. The books on them are a little yellowed, but they are basically there, and the bookshelves are almost filled!
When Lilian saw this, a smile appeared on her face. She glanced at Colin and did not continue the topic.
Perhaps it was because the shield on the bookshelf did not belong to the category of door, and Naxi could not do anything about it.
Fortunately, the shield was relatively simple. After a lot of effort, the two of them worked together to crack it, and then they quickly flipped through the books in an attempt to find something useful.
But soon, the joy on Lilian's face gradually faded.
Colin on the side also frowned.
Similar to the house number engraved on the outside, the books inside are actually written in strange characters that appear to be ancient Elvish.
"Put away the books and go to the next room."
After pondering for a moment, Lilian spoke.
"Yeah." Colin nodded.
In this case, it can only be like this... But fortunately, the books can be put into the storage ring and taken away with you.
The two of them put away half of the books they had divided, and walked towards the next room together.
But what they saw next made Colin and Colin's hearts gradually sink to the bottom.
As Naxi said, basically every room here has something preserved.
But...they are almost all books.
There are all kinds of books, leather, paper... but they all use the same strange characters that seem to be ancient Elvish.
As you go up, the books become more and more ancient.
This made Colin vaguely guess that these books...may be related to the history of the elves.
But no matter what, for them as wizards, even if they don't recognize the characters above, it is undoubtedly a valuable asset.
But for Lilian... these things are not what she needs most right now.
Time passed by, and although there were not many rooms on the tall stone trees, their search progress was not fast, mainly because they needed to break through the defenses on the bookshelves every time.
These methods became stronger as they went up, and eventually, with their abilities, even if these defenses were more or less weakened or had problems because they had not been maintained for many years, they could no longer be broken.
So when they got to the back, Naxi basically opened the door, and the two of them went in to check it out. They found it was a bookshelf, and then continued to the next room, which improved their efficiency.
But in the end it took nearly two days for Colin and his two men to search the entire stone tree.
A familiar scene. At the highest point of the stone tree, there is also a lookout with an excellent view.
But compared to before, the wind here is stronger.
Lillian's blond hair was blown wildly, like a wheat field about to be overwhelmed by the wind.
"The surrounding area has not been searched."
After a moment of silence, Colin took the initiative to comfort him.
The elf Naxi only knew that there was something here, but she didn't remember what it was... Otherwise, they would have been much more relaxed.
But now, they can only search one by one.
'I don't know if Naxi has been here before...' Colin sighed secretly in his heart and looked at Lillian again.
"Huh~"
The wind seemed to be a little stronger, and Lillian's blond hair was almost completely blown up.
Colin was about to look back.
Snap.
As if thinking of something, he suddenly took out his pocket watch.
The next second.
"Senior Lilian, it's going to be windy!" He raised his head and said in a deep voice!
