Arad's crooked savior

Celia has always felt a sense of loss for the Gran Forest that was reborn in the fire.

She used to sit on the roof of the hotel and look at the lush greenery in the distance. Although the scenery was picturesque, she couldn't feel happy for some reason. She always felt that she had forgotten something.

Later, when she was repairing the great magic circle in the Dark Thunder Ruins, she was lucky enough to recover part of her memory, and she realized that the feeling of loss that she couldn't find was because the "elves" were missing.

This morning, the reason why she sneaked out of the tree hole was because of a "sense of race" that she couldn't find.

On the wedding day, the guests crossed the threshold and it was very lively, but her race, her "family", was only Sothea, and the blessing from the elves was only Sothea.

The sense of race is a very subtle thing that may be difficult for ordinary humans to detect.

Only when you are alone in a distant foreign land, or when there are only two people left in the family like her, can you feel the extremely oppressive and almost breathless loneliness.

This feeling can make people burst into tears when "meeting an old friend in a foreign land", and it can also make Rossello resolutely leave the Silent City at Luke's most critical moment.

He also allowed himself to run to the Grand Forest.

What her friends said just now was right. She was too obsessed with the sadness of the past and could not forget it. In her dreams, she often recalled the Grand Forest, the people who lived in harmony, and the once beautiful and moving environment.

"Yes, Celia, looking forward, our tribe will always be here and never leave!"

Gently lifting the hem of her expensive wedding dress, Celia began to trot. She knew that because of her sudden willfulness, there might be trouble in Yelin, and she had to go back quickly.

With a "tear" sound, a lushly growing mourning grass used a rattan covered with thorns to tear off a piece of chiffon lace from the wedding dress, seemingly wanting to share a ray of joy.

The earth and forest changed amidst the rumbles, and a path automatically appeared in front of her, as if guiding Celia's direction. The ground was slightly moist but without rotten leaves.

"Thanks!"

Breathing slightly, Celia intuitively felt that she must run. She waved her hands happily. Even if she lost her glass slippers, she didn't feel any discomfort when trotting in white socks.

The trees on both sides of the road swayed gently, and the new green leaves rustled freshly, as if they were offering their blessings to the young elf who was about to get married.

Gran Forest, the flowing jungle, has lost its mysterious abilities since the fire, and now there are signs of revival.

In some corners that no one sees, the tender leaf buds protruding from the ground are the seedlings of hollow trees!

…

Behind a thick bush, several shadows rustled, quietly and quickly following the trotting elf girl.

They are short and lean, with green skin and long noses. They wear simple body-covering rags and hold rough iron tools or simply sticks in their hands.

The goblin was at most about the same size as a cat demon, with eyes the size of peanuts, but exuding the cold glare of a predator.

As one of the most tenacious races, Goblins can be found all over the continent, including the extremely cold Snowy Land of Stone and even the scorching volcanic areas.

They seem weak. An adult holding a weapon can deal with three or four ordinary goblins without any problem, but as if to make up for it, goblins have good evolutionary abilities.

Some are physically stronger, and some have evolved wisdom, far beyond that of their own race that can compete with humans. It is said that some of the smart evolvers have even integrated into human social life, and some have established kingdoms after imitating human structures!

There are also some goblins who can use simple magic attacks, which is simply unbelievable for humans who are not very talented in magic.

In particular, there is a legend among the goblin tribe. An albino goblin appears every hundred years and has the power to control terrifying thunder.

This kind of dirty, cunning race can be seen everywhere in Arad and is full of many possibilities. There is a similar existence in the demon world, that is, the Stone Bone Beast clan.

Just as those goblins were about to jump onto the road and sneak attack the seemingly defenseless girl, a heart-stopping shadow fell over them.

Chi~

Sauta's nostrils eject white air that is visible to the naked eye. Its sharp fangs and conspicuous red mane on its back hint at its noble status as the bull-headed king.

The Tauren were originally a peace-loving race, but they once lost their minds and went crazy due to the Great Fire of the Forest and the influence of Sirok.

"Goblin, hehe, there were no dirty guys like you in the Grand Forest before. After the elves disappeared, you and the cat demon dominated the area."

Boom~

Sauta's wisdom was very high. He raised the ax in his hand, which was about the same size as the door panel, and smashed the paralyzed goblin into a mysterious mixture with soil in a few blows.

Watching Celia running further and further away, about to leave the forest for safety, Sauta turned around and prepared to return to Graca in the north of the Grand Forest.

There are few trees but green grass, and the only remaining Tauren live there.

"Seeing it reminds me of Lord Utara, the Beast King."

"Yes, Lord Utala wanted to stop the fire and buy us time until he died."

Ruoyouruowu's voice came from the depths of the forest, which was the whisper of the will of several guardians of the Grand Forest.

…

Celia, who was running, didn't notice that the small light yellow flower on her forehead had begun to grow and spread, forming a beautiful laurel wreath among her gray-white hair.

The horseshoes clattered, and a figure of a snow-white horse flashed past the side of the road. Celia couldn't help but stop and look behind.

If I read it correctly, it should be rice cake, and the pudding is slimmer.

A moment later, Rice Cake, covered in fallen leaves, chased him from behind angrily, shaking his dizzy head.

It accidentally ran too far and hit a tree, with its horn poking a hole in the tree.

Celia held her forehead helplessly but couldn't help but laugh. She stroked the rice cake's head, came closer and smelled it, and said gently: "Did you secretly drink the wedding wine in advance? I, the real owner, haven't gone back yet."

The rice cake carried Celia, fast as a meteor, passing through the jungle like a giant, without touching any leaves or thorns.

In front of his sight, the shade of trees covering the sunlight gradually thinned out, and at the end of the road leading out of the forest, it was as bright as a sun.

Celia's mood couldn't help but beat violently when she suddenly became enlightened, and she felt a little guilty. Her sudden disappearance this time must have caused a lot of trouble.

On the darker forest path, a snow-white unicorn carrying a beautiful princess in a white wedding dress quickly rushed out of the forest like a fairy falling into dust.

"Finally back." Sothea pressed her forehead and let out a long sigh of relief regardless of elegance.

Not long ago, I wanted to find Mavis to take over temporarily and be a fake bride, but I couldn't find anyone.

At the critical moment, Alice used divination to find Celia's location. She was in the Grand Forest and was fine.

Alice wanted to take her out, but Ye Lin stopped her. Since Celia did this, she must have her reasons.

Out of trust and tacit understanding, he didn't even use refraction, so no one knew what Celia did.

The rice cake stopped steadily in front of Ye Lin. The beautiful princess sat sideways, her head lowered and she didn't dare to raise her eyes. The time was clearly already in the afternoon.

The scheduled wedding time was probably three or four hours late.

Ye Lin didn't say anything, but carefully removed her white socks, which were already stained with a lot of mud.

The soles of her tender little feet were red. She lost her crystal slippers, so she put on a pair of comfortable white boots.

"Does your foot hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt..."

Celia quietly raised her eyes and found that his expression was calm and he had a gentle smile, which didn't look like he was angry.

Moreover, Sothea, Miraz, and the curator were all looking relieved, without any blame.

"Sosia made an excuse to the guests and said that according to your ethnic tradition, the newlyweds have to go back to worship their ancestors first. The ceremony is very complicated, so the wedding will be later. Then, they let the guests eat first. It's no big deal."

Celia blinked her eyes, which were more beautiful than rubies. Does this mean that the guests made excuses to cover it up?

Although some people may know what happened, but since it is a good-natured excuse, they just laugh it off.

And there are many people who don’t know that Celia is an elf, and they are very surprised because of this!

"You... aren't you angry? I don't know why, but I just want to go to Gran Forest, and let me tell you, I met..." Celia wanted to explain, but she still felt a little guilty.

"Okay~ It's my fault that I didn't notice your condition."

Ye Lin hurriedly made a pause gesture, and said in a funny and helpless manner: "We will talk about what happened inside later. Besides, you also know that the archbishop is quite old and busy with affairs. If we delay for a while, we will have to understand." He scolded me secretly."

"Hehe~"

Celia held up her palms, jumped off Mi Gao, landed firmly in his arms, hugged his neck and smiled sweetly, half shy and half gentle: "Quickly, propose to me!"

With the Grand Forest as the background, witnessed by many relatives and friends, and she also received heartfelt blessings from her own clan, it was the perfect opportunity to complete the proposal.

"marry me?"

"Oh, be more affectionate, be louder, and shout my name!"

Celia was very happy, even happier than the day she announced she was going to get married.

"With the Grand Forest, the sky and the earth as witnesses, the beautiful Miss Celia Crumin, your knight will fulfill his promise to protect you throughout his life, will you marry me?"

"Okay~Marry!"

The forest shook gently in response, and then the half-drunk Mi Gao suddenly raised his head when he heard "drive", and then disappeared in a hurry.

The beast king Uttara, the bull-headed king Sauta.

Due to the Great Fire of Gran Forest, it was only a few years before the adventurer appeared, so Sauta might really be Utala's descendant or son. (Actually, it’s just a new use of vertical painting...)

In addition, because the map was newly drawn in the origin version, some settings have minor bugs.

For example, the Elvin Defense Line is set to be the entrance to Gran Forest. However, on the new map, the distance between them is further than from Huddon Mar to the West Coast.

Lorraine is a buffer zone between humans and elves, but now Lorraine has been deleted.

The first boss, the Throwing Goblin, and the second boss, the Minotaur, left a deep impression on me.
