Shengshuiyuan

In the middle of the only swamp in the forest, there is a brown wooden house standing there, surrounded by silence, only birds and small animals approaching in twos and threes.The gloomy atmosphere is somewhat incompatible with this green and vibrant forest.

After knocking on the door several times but no one responded, Lantiere carefully opened the door and said

"excuse me."

Entering the room, there is no bright light in the room, but it is quiet and scary. In the dim beams and corners, there are small nocturnal animals staring vigilantly at the uninvited guests entering the room. The gloomy room From time to time, there is a cool breeze blowing through, instantly making the already dark room feel horrifying, as if one or two terrifying unknown creatures are jumping at you and biting you in the next second.

Frightened by the terrifying atmosphere, Lan Nuo instinctively shrank his neck and hid behind Li Muyan beside him.

In the deepest part of the house, there was the faint sound of tools hitting objects from time to time.Everyone approached in the dimly lit room, a short elf with a hunched back, red hair and a big beard, focused on hitting the beautifully carved elf statue on the desk with a hammer.As if treating everyone as air, the elves focused on holding different tools and accessories up and down, making the statue very carefully. Everyone watched the work with bated breath, but they didn't dare to speak out rashly for fear of being impolite Disturbed the elves.

In this way, time passed slowly, and an hour later.The red-haired and bearded elf lowered his hands and raised his arms upwards, holding a delicate elf statue of a white dove lightly on the shelf beside him.He picked up the pipe beside him, took a puff of smoke, exhaled a large cloud of smoke, looked at the uninvited guests with a serious face and asked

"What are you guys doing here? I don't recall anyone else being able to come into my house without my permission."

Felina approached the bearded elf with a face of intimacy, raised the flagon in her hand, shook the liquid in the flagon, and smiled brightly

"Uncle Red Beard, look what I brought. This is the freshest fruit wine brewed by that alcoholic in the mangrove. Would you like to try it?"

The elf with the red beard took off the apron he was wearing, and looked at the people behind Felina with contempt

"Forget about the elves in the back, how come there are orc-eared people and humans here, you don't know that I don't like outsiders approaching here."

Felina stuck out her tongue lightly, squinted and smiled with a mischievous childlike face, turned around and introduced the person behind her with a serious face

"Uncle Red Beard, I forgot to introduce you. This young man with pale blond hair and the man with white hair and animal ears are my brother's friends. They are very nice people and treat my brother very well."

Speaking of which, Rantiyer and Li Muyan politely greeted the red beard

"Hello!"

Felina held Lan Nuo's hand excitedly, and brought him in front of the red beard

"Uncle Red Beard, do you know! After searching for so many years, I have already given up hope. I didn't expect to meet Lan Nuo today. Come, Lan Nuo, let Uncle Red Beard take a good look at you!"

The red beard tapped the pipe on the table, with an expression of disbelief, and a sudden flash of excitement and joy in his eyes. He stood up, held Lan Nuo's arm, and carefully looked up and down to see if the boy was intact.

"Okay, okay, it's fine!"

Looking at Lan Nuo's exquisite face, the red beard was filled with emotion, and then lowered his head sadly.

"I haven't seen your child for many years, and she looks more and more like your mother. Alas, if she is still alive, she must be very happy..."

Lan Nuo greeted him obediently.

The red beard wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at Felina with a serious face, raised his head and looked seriously at the boy in front of him who was smiling and looked at him and asked

"Tell me, you girl, why did you bring them here all of a sudden?"

Lantierre answered the red beard's question with a light smile and a face of respect

"I'm very sorry for the hasty interruption this time. I heard that you are the most skilled at making gifts, so we are here for no other reason. I just want to trouble you to make a beautiful and unique gift for my mother. birthday present."

Looking at the gentle and filial young man in front of him, with a red beard, he took a puff of cigarette and said approvingly

"It's rare for your filial piety. For the sake of being Felina's friend, I accept this wine. You can come and get something in seven days."

Rantier smiled gratefully.

"Thank you so much then!"

Politely rejecting Red Beard's invitation to let them stay and eat, and walking out of the swamp, Lantiyer exhaled softly with a rare expression of relaxation, looked up at the bright sunshine, squinted and smiled.

Felina's house

The warm sunlight shone into the room, and several people drank the wine from the brewing spirit with a happy face.

While everyone was tasting the fine wine, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the voice of a young man reached the ears of several people

"Felina, are you there?"

Felina blushed when she heard someone's voice

"Ah, here we come!"

As he spoke, he got up and opened the door to let the young man into the room.

Lantierre will never forget that the first time he saw this gentle young man with deep blue eyes, it gave people a comfortable intimacy. In the future, every time he thinks about it, Lantierre will feel very sorry for this young man. . .

The tall and slender young man looked at several people in the room with a gentle face, greeted them politely, and introduced himself

"Didn't you expect guests to come to Felina's house? Hello, I'm the neighbor who lives next door to Felina. My name is Linger."

Lantiere nodded lightly, stood up, shook hands and said

"Hello, my name is Rantier."

As he spoke, he turned around and introduced Li Muyan who stood up together

"This is my friend, Li Muyan."

Linge greeted the two with a polite smile, turned his head and looked curiously at the animal ears on Li Muyan's head and asked

"I'm sorry, you have animal ears on your head. Are you from Fore, but you don't look like a Foreman by your appearance."

Li Muyan smiled and explained Ringer's doubts

"I'm not from Fore. My hometown is Ning'an in the south. I have animal ears on my head because I have the power of a nine-tailed fox in my body, so I have animal ears."

Talking about the demonstrative activating spell, nine beautiful fox tails appeared behind her.

Seeing such a beautiful nine tails for the first time, both Ringer and Felina opened their eyes wide in surprise.

Linger smiled approvingly

"I have long heard that the mysterious Ning'an is full of spiritual power, and there are many beautiful creatures of different shapes. I didn't expect that the first time I saw it really opened my eyes."

After everyone's introduction, Felina approached and held Ringer's arm affectionately like offering a treasure and said

"Do you know that Ringer saved me in that battle, and then accompanied me to find Uncle Redbeard's benefactor!"

Halfway through the conversation, Felina looked shy and whispered like a shy girl

"Same... also my lover..."

Hearing that his long-lost sister suddenly had a lover, Lan Nuo, who was eating apples, was so surprised that he didn't realize that the apple in his hand had dropped. He reacted quickly and ran towards the two of them, shouting

"My God! Someone wants someone as rough as my sister! It's amazing!"

The second after Lan Nuo finished speaking, a heavy fist hit the top of his head. Lan Nuo hugged his swollen head with an aggrieved face and hid in the corner. . .

After dinner, the few of them chatted happily like friends who had reunited after a long absence.The quiet night passed quietly amidst the laughter of several people.

In the early morning, amidst the chirping of birds, a blond girl with blue eyes picked up a bow and arrow, and shot an arrow with ease, towards the hanging apples on a tree [-] meters away.

After the girl finished shooting, she looked at the young man with a doting smile beside her with frivolous eyebrows

"I'm done shooting, come on, it's your turn."

The young man took the bow, picked up the arrow beside him and placed it on the bowstring, and saw the arrow fly out with a "swish", impartially separating the arrows shot by the girl on the apple just now.

Seeing that her arrow was easily shot by the youth, the girl glanced at her lips in dissatisfaction

"Hmph! Not counting again!"

Not far away, a blond-haired boy and a white-haired young man approached from far to near, watching the elf girl and young man shoot arrows with interest, not only interested in participating

"It's such a fun time, can you join the two of us?"

Seeing the person coming, Felina immediately approached and the two joined in the archery together

"Hurry up, come here too, I don't believe it, other people's archery skills can't match him."

Lantiyer took the bow with a light smile, and first gave it to Li Muyan beside him

"Mu Yan, should you come first, I'll watch first."

Li Muyan nodded in agreement

"it is good."

Speaking of which, Li Muyan took the bow, picked up the arrow, squinted his eyes lightly, and shot the arrow. In just a split second, the arrow shot by Li Muyan directly hit the arrows of the two people in front of him.

The next second Felina applauded excitedly

"Wow! Not bad!"

Looking at Li Muyan who hit two arrows, Linge nodded approvingly.

In the evening, everyone had already fallen into a deep sleep. Because of the gloomy weather, a tall man who couldn't see his face in the dark caught the carrier pigeon flying towards him, untied the letter from the carrier pigeon's feet, and unfolded it.

After reading the letter, the man bit his lips tightly, squeezed the letter tightly in his hand, and used magic to turn the letter into fly ash in the next second.

In the dark and damp cave of the prison cell, water dripped from the top from time to time, making the sound of "ding dong" water, and a very light footstep, breaking the tranquility of the cell for hundreds of years.

A tall, dark red-haired man with a sinister smile walked down the stairs and approached a woman who was imprisoned in a prison cell with many lightning traps and was devastated by thousands of lightning strikes. repeating questions that have remained unanswered for hundreds of years

"Stop making unnecessary struggles! Hundreds of years have passed! Should you tell me where the royal scepter is hidden!"

A woman with a weak and ragged face raised her haggard, thin cheeks and looked contemptuously at the vicious man in front of her

"In the same way, don't you feel tired of talking for so many years? Do you think that if you unite with the black elves to snatch the throne and trap me here, your conspiracy will succeed? It's just a dream."

Hearing the words that offended him, the man became annoyed and raised his arms to tighten the shackles of lightning on the woman's body, but in the next second, there was a heart-piercing cry of the woman being tormented by pain in the empty cave

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Outside the cave, a man with gray skin and long pointed ears witnessed the whole process, and his figure slowly disappeared into the darkness. . . .

Looking at Lanno and Felina who were taking a nap with a relaxed face, Lantierre put away the letter in his hand, with a look of interest, and frivolous lips pursed as if waiting for prey.

Not far away, Li Muyan transformed into nine tails, and rushed to the place ordered by Lantiere.

In the majestic and aura of the elf palace, the frantic elf king angrily raised his hand and knocked the fruit plate brought by the maid to the ground

"It's been more than 300 years! I don't believe that her mouth can be so tight. Could it be that she is so stubborn and refuses to tell me where the staff is hidden, regardless of the lives of the entire clan!"

The non-commissioned officer with a hunched back and an ugly face was holding a dead wood staff in his hand to express his opinion

"Your Majesty, according to that woman's personality, no matter what method we use, it will be useless. We might as well start with her son and threaten her. I don't believe that as a mother, she can disregard her son's life and death, so I'm afraid she will be stubborn." Can you tell me where it's hiding?"

The man sitting on the throne narrowed his eyes slightly with a vicious look on his face

"Okay, let's do it like this..."

The Elf King turned to regain his composure, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the sergeant beside him and said

"Help me contact the Black Elf King right now, plan ahead."

The sergeant was ordered to turn into a puff of black smoke and disappear. . . .

Under the peaceful forest, in a dark and damp cave thousands of meters wide, a man with white hair, gray skin and gloomy face sat on the throne, resting his forehead with one hand and lost in thought.

Suddenly, a soldier in black armor hurried towards the pensive man

"Report Your Majesty, I have received a reply from His Highness!"

Seeing the soldier kneeling on one knee in front of him, with his hands raised above his head, holding a tiny thumb-sized bamboo tube in his palm, the man on the throne relieved his frowning eyebrows, took the bamboo tube excitedly, and unfolded the letter in the bamboo tube.

After reading the reply, the white-haired man clenched the letter in his hand, narrowed his gray-blue eyes lightly, and looked stern, like a wild beast about to bite its prey

"The time has come, it's time for us to act..."

As he said that, the white-haired man raised his hand and gave an order.

"Come on, go and call the general, we have been preparing for more than 300 years and it is time to act!"

The soldiers retreated at the command, and a pair of beast-like eyes whispered in the dark corner. Hearing the order from the king, everyone eagerly waited for the day of revenge.

On a sunny morning, Lantiere sat leisurely under the big tree and watched Felina, Ringer, and Lanno happily laughing and catching fish together.

Exhaling lightly, breathing in the rare fresh air after the rain, taking the juice handed over by Li Muyan, Lantiere smiled lightly and looked at the flying birds in the sky.

"It would be great if this kind of tranquility continued like this."

Speaking of which, Lantiere frowned meaningfully and looked at Ringe, who was playing with Felina and Lan Nuo with a doting face, and then turned to be serious, and communicated with Li Muyan with magic from his heart.

"How? How about the information I asked you to check yesterday?"

Li Muyan, who looked calm on the surface, lightly sipped the juice in the glass in his hand, and replied with the same magic in his heart:

"It's been cleared up. Depending on the situation, the black elf and the current elf king who seeks to usurp the throne have begun to prepare for action in the past two days."

Hearing the satisfactory answer, Lantiyer narrowed his eyes slightly, pursed his lips slightly, and easily twirled the black jade flute in his hand with one finger, with a look of interest

"Next, we just wait for the prey to enter the trap by itself...

The sky seemed to foresee that a conspiracy was about to happen, and the bright sunshine was unhappily put away, gradually becoming gloomy and gloomy.

The peaceful forest was disturbed by the sudden appearance of hundreds of horseshoes, as it has been for more than 300 years, all the creatures living in the forest were terrified.

In front of the spacious elf palace, a [-]-year-old blond elf boy with a panicked face was tied up by the current elf king and pulled with one hand to a large altar in the middle of the square, where he was bound by several lightning chains In front of the blond woman, the Elf King looked at the unyielding woman in front of him with a sullen smile and said

"Aren't you very happy to see your son whom you haven't seen for more than 300 years? How about it? Have you figured it out? If you figure it out, give me the royal staff! Otherwise..."

While speaking, the Elf King took out the saber from the waist of the guard beside him, pulled it out and pressed it against the neck of the young man who was controlled by him, and looked at the woman on the altar with a menacing face, and a sad, tolerant woman.

Seeing her son's white neck cut with a long knife, the bound woman said to her son with tears in her face

"My poor child, don't blame the mother for being cruel. For the future of the entire elf family not to be raped by these traitors, I can only wrong you. After that, the mother will apologize to you."

The woman frowned and resolutely looked at the elf king who threatened her

"Uncle, you have watched me grow up, do you think you will get the staff according to my character?"

The enraged elf king became furious, and when he raised his knife and was about to slash at the young man under his control in front of him, a thick and powerful voice stopped the elf king's actions

"Wait a moment!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw that the person who came was a man with white hair and gray skin all over his body. Behind the man, an army of tens of thousands of people entered the palace of the elves.

Seeing the visitor, the Elf King had a courteous expression on his face, approached flatteringly and said with a smile

"I didn't expect you to arrive so soon, and I didn't go to greet you!"

The white-haired man with one hand behind his back looked disdainfully at the rat-like person beside him, raised his eyebrows lightly and said

"If it's not me, it's your virtue, can you become the king of elves?"

The Elf King bowed his head and said

"Yes yes yes, what you said is right!"

The Black Elf King shrugged lightly, and looked at the Elf King next to him with an indifferent face.

"You said that the task assigned to you for so many years has not been completed for a long time. Do you say that I should punish you?"

Before the Elf King could react, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down in disbelief and saw that his chest was pierced by the man in front of him with one hand. The Elf King had already collapsed in a pool of blood in horror.

The trapped woman looked contemptuously at the loser who had been defeated by herself, and said arrogantly.

"What are you doing here? Showing off your machinations to me?"

The Black Elf King lightly licked the blood in his hand, squinted his eyes confidently and looked in front of him, the woman who had a crush on and hated said:

"The royal staff that you have been afraid to hand over will appear obediently later."

The trapped woman stared at the vicious man in front of her with wide eyes as if she knew the truth, and was speechless for a while.

The people who learned that the war was coming took the elves and stayed in the cave of refuge together to wait for news from afar.

Felina, who was waiting impatiently, took Ringer's arm, came to the corner and whispered

"Linge, this is an extraordinary time. Are you willing to go with me to rescue the Queen who has been missing for many years and Her Highness who is trapped."

Ringer gently stroked Felina's hair and said

"I will go with you wherever you go?"

Seeing the two people walking away, the originally light Lantiere crossed his arms and leaned against the stone wall, turned his head to look at Li Muyan, who was sitting up, and gestured with his eyes, the two quietly disappeared, Disappeared in the cave.

Felina eagerly pulled Ringer out of the cave.But he found that the person behind him who was holding his hand stopped moving.

Turning her head to look at the young man she loved so much behind her, her blond hair turned white, and her fair skin instantly turned a dull gray. Felina couldn't believe what she saw before her. Only heard a sad apology from Ringer with a guilty face

"sorry..."

The elf queen trapped in the center of the altar looked around anxiously with a calm face.

The Black Elf King smiled triumphantly.

"Don't look, the person we are waiting for will come later."

Looking at the woman who was once high above her, who she had courted more than a thousand times but was rejected by the other party to defeat him, a moment of sadness flashed in the eyes of the Black Elf King.

Just as everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, a figure quickly came to the middle of the altar, and gently placed the sleeping Felina on the altar.

The Black Elf King looked at the visitor with joy, walked forward and patted his shoulder approvingly.

"You came in time, you really deserve to be my son."

It was Ringe who had hidden his identity for many years after the war and brought Felina unconscious.

Without the blond-haired and blue-eyed Ringer, he resumed his original appearance as a black elf, looked at the sleeping man on the altar with a guilty expression, turned to restrain his expression, and saluted the black elf king with a straight face.

"Doing these things for the father is what a son should do well."

Seeing his son's excellent completion of the task, the Black Elf King nodded in satisfaction, and turned to look at the pale Elf Queen

"Next, as long as you set up the formation and drip your blood on this girl, the royal staff will be mine, and the entire elf clan will also become my possession!"

The Black Elf King looked up to the sky with a triumphant face and laughed loudly, setting up a formation.

Under everyone's gaze, a blood-red formation instantly appeared under Felina.The Black Elf King took out the dagger he carried with him, cut the Queen's wrist when the Elf Queen couldn't resist, took the cup handed over by the sergeant, caught the blood flowing from the Elf Queen's wrist, walked to the front of the formation, poured a cup of blood On Felina's body.In just a moment, in the shock of everyone, Felina's chest suddenly shone with dazzling golden light, and a beautifully shaped staff inlaid with gems suddenly rose from Felina's chest and appeared in front of everyone.

The Black Elf King picked up the majesty staff with an excited face, and held it up to the sky.

When everyone was shouting, a voice interrupted the high atmosphere

"Originally, I didn't intend to disturb everyone's victory, but since I'm here, I naturally have to do something."

The Black Elf King had a ferocious face, staring at the blond boy who suddenly appeared in front of him, squinting his eyes and clenched the staff in his hand, raised the staff and chanted a spell to attack Lantiere.

Lantiere stood confidently. When everyone thought that the blond boy who appeared suddenly would be knocked down, something miraculous happened. The power from the staff attack to Lantiere suddenly disappeared. Even the black elf king opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

Rantiel shrugged lightly and walked towards the shocked Black Elf King

"Do you think that you will win if you get the royal scepter?"

After a pause, Rantiyer looked at the Black Elf King with disdain and said

"But you forgot, who made this majestic staff is the red beard who lives in the swamp. He told me the secret of controlling the staff. You know only half of the spell."

The Black Elf King, who knew the truth, was frozen on the spot like a deep hell for a moment, not daring to move.

In the next second, Lantiyer raised his hand, and many well-prepared elf soldiers flooded into the palace instantly.

The Black Elf Legion, which was full of confidence at the beginning, was defeated in less than two hours. The Black Elf King, who was forced to the edge of the cliff, still refused to surrender, holding his sword in front of him in embarrassment. The threatening elf queen, shouted

"If you hadn't rejected me back then, I wouldn't have become what I am now? If it hadn't been for your ancestors who drove us to the dark and damp underground, where we would never see the sun, how could we do this!?"

Speaking of which, the Black Elf King dropped the sword in his hand, and said with a dejected face

"Although we are losers, we are still very envious of the beautiful sunshine, lush plants and cute animals?"

The Black Elf King finally looked at the gray sky with a relieved face and said in a hoarse voice

"I really want to see the beautiful sunshine!"

In the next second, before everyone could react, the Black Elf King raised his sword and stabbed himself in the neck, before falling to the cliff behind him. . .

Not far away, on the edge of a cliff, with a sad face, Felina raised her sword and pointed desperately at the man she once loved and trusted very much, but she never thought that the person who appeared in front of her now was a member of the Black Elf clan. Prince, Felina sadly complained to the man in front of her

"I thought you loved me all the time, but I didn't expect that I have been your tool for 300 years! Have you never loved me from the beginning to the end, and have been using me!? Tell me!"

Looking at the crying girl in front of him, Ringer was at a loss and wanted to get closer, but was betrayed, and the sad girl raised her sword again and again to drive away

"Filina, listen to me, I have loved you for more than 300 years, and what I told you is true? You have to believe me!"

Felina shook her head vigorously.

"Go away! You stay away from me! You liar!"

Just as the two were arguing, the Queen and Lantiere rushed to the edge of the cliff.

Seeing the pursuers arrive, Ringer gave up resistance long ago, and finally stretched out his hand and looked at Felina sadly and said

"Sorry, and, forget me..."

Then he turned and jumped off the cliff.

Just when everyone thought that Ringer was dead and everything was over, the second Ringer jumped off the cliff, Felina also jumped off the cliff. Ringer looked at the girl hugging him in shock and said:

"You don't have to die with me, hurry back!"

Felina looked at the man she loved and hated in front of her with a relieved face and said

"Fool, although you betrayed me, do you think I can live alone without you?"

Ringer said with a guilty face

"sorry..."

Felina smiled lightly and kissed her lover's cheek, making the oath of the next life

"Ning'an has an old saying: If there is an afterlife, would you marry me?"

Ringer kissed the brows of the girl he loves and said with a reassuring expression

"it is good."

In this way, under Lannuo's mournful cry at the edge of the cliff, the two desperate lovers died at the bottom of the cliff. . . . .

After a few days, everything was over, and the elf queen came back to the throne, merciful to the last wish of the black elf king, and allowed the black elf to walk in the sun for one or two days every month, and everything returned to calm. . .

When I came to the red-bearded place in the swamp again, everything was changed, and the grumpy, outspoken, and laughing girl who brought Lantiere and the others a few days ago was no longer there.

Lantierre held the gift in the exquisite box in his hand, and apologized to the red beard very apologetically

"I'm sorry, this time, I didn't expect Felina to be gone..."

The red beard sighed heavily and took a breath from the flue.

"It's not your fault, that girl is an emotional person, and she can't blame other people for making this decision..."

Looking at the farewell at the door, losing the red beard like his own daughter Felina, and seeming to have aged many years overnight, Lantiere frowned and sighed softly.

A few days later, thinking that Lan Nuo, who was immersed in the loss of his only relative, would not come, Lantiyer and Li Muyan were about to leave the elves, but suddenly they heard familiar footsteps behind them.

As if carrying a package like a hill at a fast pace behind him, Lan Nuo who ran was panting, still scratching his head lightly and said with a smile

"Hahaha, I thought I couldn't catch up!"

Lantiere looked in disbelief

"Why don't you stay in the elves, this is your home."

Lan Nuo lightly shrugged his shoulders with a look of grievance, his eyes dimmed instantly and said:

"My sister is gone, and I have nothing. Doesn't even His Highness want me?"

Lantiyer, who was frowning slightly, caressed Lan Nuo's soft hair and said,

"Welcome back!"

Lan Nuo lightly rubbed the hand of the man who was stroking his hair, smiling brightly

"I am back!"
