After passing through a dense forest, the view before them suddenly opened up. The fairyland-like scenery completely stunned Moon Scar and the others, who had come here for the first time. A huge, clear blue lake appeared in front of them. The water of the lake was extremely clear, sparkling under the sunlight. They could clearly see the fish in the lake and the rocks at the bottom of the lake. A faint layer of mist floated on the surface of the water, giving off a dreamy feeling. Countless fairies flew on the surface of the lake, their faces brimming with happy smiles. However, this was not what surprised everyone the most. The most surprising thing was that in the center of the lake, there was an ancient tree that towered into the sky. The tree was over a hundred meters tall, and its thick trunk had a diameter of about fifty meters. There were many gaps on the trunk, and thick vines were entangled on them. Some elves were passing through them. The ancient tree's huge canopy was lush and lush, and its dark green leaves were sparkling and translucent. The diameter of the canopy was almost the same as the height of the entire tree. The crisp chirping of birds and the sound of the elves flapping their wings were playing a moving music. In the middle of the lake, there was not only the ancient tree in the middle. With it as the center, there were many smaller trees around it. The branches and leaves of these trees were not as lush as the one in the middle. Faintly, one could see some small treehouses on them. The treehouses seemed to be naturally formed with the trees, and there were no signs of human activity. Between the trees, there were vines connecting them. It looked as if there was a huge city of fairies on the surface of the lake.

Xuanyue looked at everything in front of her in a daze, and sighed, "It's so beautiful, much more beautiful than my home! Such a beautiful tree and lake! "

Flying beside Xuanyue, Roma smiled and said, "This is the center of our Fairy Forest — the City of Fairies. Most of the fairies live here. Within a ten-mile radius of the City of Fairies, there are illusions set up by our Magicians. It's like a maze, and outsiders cannot enter at all. Only here is the paradise for us fairies. "

Xuanyue nodded, and said, "The nature magic of the fairies is really amazing. It's very different from ordinary magic!"

Jorma nodded lightly and said, "The nature magic of the elves is very profound. It's just that I'm too young and haven't grasped much of it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been bullied by those bad guys. Sister Xu Anyue, who is that fainted young man to you? If it weren't for him, I'm afraid we would have been captured by those bad guys. "

Xu Anyue lowered her head and looked at the Dumb that Yanshi was carrying. She hesitated for a moment and said, "He's my friend. He's a good person, just a little dumb."

Rama lowered his head, as if thinking about something. He did not speak. After returning to the City of Elves, the elves immediately spread out and entered the city. Tian Ying landed on the ground and said to Yanshi, "Every elf here only has one treehouse, so we don't have any extra rooms to entertain you. How about this: you can rest on the shore for a while, I have to quickly report to Her Majesty."

Yanshi nodded and said, "Uncle Tian Ying, you do what you need to do. We can rest on the shore. The City of Elves is really a paradise on earth. Even if you've been here before, your exhaustion will naturally disappear after seeing such a beautiful scenery. I'll have to trouble you to tell Her Majesty that we want to see her. "

Tian Ying nodded and clasped his hands in front of his chest. He chanted an elven incantation, and a green light wrapped around him. Suddenly, he separated his hands, and two rays of green light shot towards a large tree beside him. The branches and leaves of the tree quickly grew, and in a short while, a natural house was formed, just right to envelop Yanshi and the others. Smiling faintly, Tianying said, "You can rest here. Ya Yuan, Jorma, you two come with me. "With that, he flapped his wings and flew towards the Ancient Elven Tree in the middle of the lake.

Yanshi laid Dumb flat on the ground, and asked Xu Anyue, who had just entered the treehouse, "Does Dumb have some secret? How did he manage to scare away those bandits? Also, I've looked carefully, and those weak bandits that appeared at the beginning were all dead. There wasn't even a scratch on their bodies. "

Xu Anyue stuck out her tongue and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know anything. Just wait for him to wake up and ask him directly. Have you forgotten? Prophet Prín said that he's your benefactor in life. It's not strange for him to be a little mysterious. "

Yue Ji moved closer to Xu Anyue and held her little hand. She said in a low voice, "Yue, you and Dumb have such a good relationship. You must know something, right? Tell us. I'm really curious. The surprises that Dumby gave us were too many. When we first met him, we only thought he was a magician. But after we got to know him, every time he encountered danger, he would use martial arts to solve it, as if magic was not his strong suit. It's rare to see someone who practices both magic and martial arts on the continent. The magic he used today didn't seem to be of the fire element, but was of the light element like you. Moreover, it was very powerful. When we thought he couldn't deal with those black-clothed men, he was able to scare them away. It's really inconceivable. My brother said that those black-clothed men might have the strength of the winner. That's not something we can deal with! How many secrets does Dumb have? You must tell us. "Everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Anyue's beautiful face, waiting for her answer.

Xu Anyue shook her head and said, "I really don't know. In fact, I only knew him two days earlier than you. We were all being tested at the magic union. Later, I felt that he was very honest, so I tricked him to join the mercenary union with me. That's why I accepted the mission to the Death Mountain Range. As for his past, I don't know. I only heard him say that he has an alchemist teacher and an uncle who knows martial arts. As for the specifics, I don't know. You can ask him when he wakes up. "

Everyone looked at each other. Miao Fei doubtfully said, "Miss Xu Anyue, is it really as simple as you say? If you have only known each other for such a short time, then why do I feel that you are very close? You seem to be friends for many years. Dumb is always like a big brother, taking care of you. Whenever you are in danger, he will be very anxious, and every time he will be the first to rush over. "

Xu Anyue was surprised. Just as she was about to say something, an elf came in from outside, holding a large plate of fruits. Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted to her. Yue Ji exclaimed, "What a beautiful elf sister! No wonder those bastards always want to catch elves. "

The elf girl blushed. She put the fruit aside and respectfully said, "Honored guest, please have a taste of the elves' abundant fruits." Then she turned around and left.

The large plate of colorful fruits were almost all the same. They exuded a faint fragrance, which couldn't help but arouse the tired and thirsty crowd. Xu Anyue grabbed two fruits, sat on the green grass next to Dumb, and ate. The appearance of the fruits temporarily interrupted everyone's doubts.

The Elven Ancient Tree.

Tian Ying flew to the top of the tree with Ya Yuan and Ruoma. She respectfully said, "Elf Envoy Tian Ying and Great Elf Ya Yuan and Elf Mage Ruoma request an audience with Her Majesty." In the elves, there was a clear hierarchy, but there was no difference between the different ranks. The higher the ranks were, the more powerful they were. From low to high, they were: Little Elf, Elf, Great Elf, Elf Envoy, Great Elf Envoy, and Elf King. Among them, Little Elf was an elf under 50 years old. Once they passed 50, they would automatically become an elf. Great Elf not only needed to be over 100 years old, but also had a certain amount of power. As long as they worked hard, ordinary elves could reach that level. Not all elves could become Elven Envoys. Elven Envoys were the intermediate power of the elves, and were divided into Archers and Mages. Among them, Elven Envoys like Tianying had a magic level close to that of human Magic Shooters. Great Elf Envoys had the highest authority in the elves besides the Elf King. Only the elders of the elves could obtain this title. Currently, the elves had four Grand Elven Envoys and 18 Elven Envoys. All Grand Elven Envoys were mages. Their combined strength was equivalent to that of two human magisters. It was also because of their existence that the elves were able to maintain a leading position in the Sky Yuan Clan. The Elf King was passed down from generation to generation. Every Elf King would marry the most outstanding elf in the clan to give birth to the next generation. Only the elf with the Elf King's bloodline could become the next Elf King. Under the effect of the Elf King's bloodline, the Elf King could use many of the highest level nature magic. Although she didn't walk the continent, some people still called her the fourth Magister of the continent, a nature magister.

The canopy of the tree split open and a clear voice came, "Her Majesty invites Tian Ying to the Elf Envoys."

Tian Ying flapped his wings and flew into the canopy. Ya Yuan and Ruo Ma followed closely behind him. Only the Elf King and Great Elf Envoys had the right to live in the Ancient Elf Tree, which was known as the lifeline of the elves. Usually, there would be some ordinary elves here to serve the Elf King and Great Elf Envoys.

Tian Ying flew to the largest treehouse in the canopy. An elf girl at the door smiled and said, "Great Elf Envoys, Her Majesty invites you."

Tian Ying nodded and landed on the platform in front of the treehouse with Ya Yuan and Ruo Ma. They quickly walked into the treehouse.

Inside the treehouse, a middle-aged female elf was sitting on a rattan chair. Her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, as if she was very annoyed. Beside her sat a middle-aged male elf. His face was also frosty, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes. Tian Ying and the other two walked in and bowed at the same time. "Greetings, Your Majesty, Great Elf Envoy Ao Di."

Queen Elves raised her head to look at them and said calmly, "What happened? Did enemies invade our territory again?"

Tian Ying nodded and winked at Ya Yuan who was beside him. Ya Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and told her about how they were robbed by the men in black in the Elven Forest and how Dumb and the others helped them.

After listening to Ya Yuan's story, Queen Elves's husband, Great Elf Envoy Ao Di, the youngest Great Elf Envoy of the elves, suddenly stood up and said angrily, "These outsiders are too arrogant. They dare to challenge the dignity of the elves again and again. Your Majesty, I think we should resolve this matter as soon as possible." Ao Di did not climb to the position of Great Elf Envoy because he was the Queen's husband. On the contrary, he completely relied on his own hard work to get to where he was today. Among the four Great Elf Envoys, his magic level was the highest, second only to Queen Elves. At that time, it was because of his hard work that he stood out among the many pursuers of Queen Elves and won her heart.

Queen Elves's eyes flashed with Cold Light and said, "Tian Ying, where are those friends who helped us? Can they be trusted? "

Tian Ying replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have arranged for them to rest by the Elven Lake. They should be trustworthy. Do you remember the leader of the Puyan people, Yan Fei? His son is among them. The child who fought off the enemies is still in a coma. I think they will not harm our race. "

Queen Elves sighed and said, "Alright, go and gather the other Great Elf Envoys and tell them that I have something to discuss with them. Perhaps, we really need the help of these friends from the outside to solve this matter. "

In the treehouse by the Elven Lake, just as everyone was eating sweet fruits, Dumb slowly woke up from his sleep. A feeling of weakness filled his whole body. He moved his hands and feet and couldn't help but moan. The vital energy in his body was almost exhausted, and there was only a weak energy fluctuation. His mental strength was also almost exhausted when he activated the Dragon God's blood.

Xuanyue was the first to notice that Dumb had woken up. She quickly pulled his hand and asked with concern, "Dumb, how are you? Do you feel uncomfortable? "

Dumb shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I just feel tired. Yue, where is this?"

Everyone gathered around and Yue Hen said, "We have already reached the interior of the elves. This is the City of Elves."

Dumby nodded and said, "Those elves are saved, right?"

Xuanyue said, "Don't worry, those bad guys are gone. Later, many elves came and brought us here. Here, eat a fruit first. "Saying that, she handed over a purple fruit.

Dumb wanted to stretch out his hand to take it, but he couldn't muster any strength. His arm fell to the grass. Xuanyue frowned, and her eyes revealed a pained expression. She put the fruit next to her mouth and bit a bit, then brought it to Dumb's mouth. The light purple juice flowed into Dumb's mouth. He kept swallowing, and in a short while, he had swallowed all the juice in the fruit.

Xuanyue threw the peel to the side and asked, "Do you want more? There's still a lot left. "

Dumb looked gratefully at Xuanyue and shook his head lightly. He said in a low voice, "Thank you, Yue."

Xuanyue thought of how she had fed Dumb fruit and blushed. She shook her head and said, "What are you thanking me for? Aren't we friends?"

Miao Fei chuckled and said, "Moreover, they're very close friends! I say, Dumby, don't you think you should explain how you managed to scare those bandits away? "

Hearing Miao Fei's question, Dumb suddenly remembered the scene of him killing people in the forest. The black-clothed man turned into a dried corpse was still vivid in his mind. A strong feeling of disgust filled his whole body. He suddenly turned to the side and violently vomited. Everyone was shocked. Yanshi quickly came over and kept patting Dumb's back. He asked with concern, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

After a while, when Dumb had nothing left to vomit, he stopped and murmured with dull eyes, "I … I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't want to kill people. I didn't want to kill people!"

Yanshi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought it was something serious. Didn't you just kill a few people? I killed a lot more than you. Those were bad guys. They deserved to die. "

Yue Ji poked her head over and said, "Dumb, this is your first time killing someone, right?"

Dumb nodded blankly. He shrunk his body and said blankly, "I … I didn't want to kill him. They forced me."

Miao Fei said, "What's the big deal about killing a few people? Quick, Dumb, tell us, how did you kill that powerful black-clothed man? I didn't expect you to be so secretive!"

Dumb raised his head and looked at Miao Fei. He recalled the scene when he used the Hell King's Sword. Fear appeared in his eyes. He said with a trembling voice, "No, I don't know. I don't know."

Miao Fei frowned and said, "You don't know? How can you not know? You killed him. Quickly tell us. I'm really curious. "

Xuanyue suddenly pushed Miao Fei away and said angrily, "Don't force him. Can't you see how painful he is? Let him rest for a while, okay? " Her heart ached as she pulled Dumby's upper body into her arms, letting him rest on her thighs. Looking at Dumby's painful appearance, her heart couldn't help but ache. Her beautiful eyes were red, and crystal clear tears fell on Dumby's shoulder.

Yue Hen gave everyone a look and pulled Miao Fei to a corner of the treehouse. No one wanted to disturb Xuanyue and Dumb, so they quietly retreated to the side.

Xuanyue gently stroked Dumb's long black hair. She murmured, "It's okay. It's all over now." She clearly knew that Dumb's kind nature was the complete opposite of the Hell King's Sword's evil nature. How could he accept such a big blow?

Under Xuan Yue's gentle caress, Dumby gradually calmed down. It held Xuan Yue's hand and placed it on its face. Smelling the faint fragrance on her body, it fell into a deep sleep. Looking at Dumb's calm sleeping face, Xuanyue's heart was filled with satisfaction. Letting Dumb hold her hand, she pressed her face against his head and gradually fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Dumb felt someone shaking his body. Slowly opening his eyes, he saw Yanshi crouching beside him, calling his name.

Seeing that Dumb had woken up, Yanshi whispered, "Get up, the people from the elves are here."

After sleeping, Dumb's strength had recovered quite a bit. Nodding his head, he wanted to get up, but he found that he was holding something in his hand. He suddenly remembered the scene before he fell asleep. Looking up, he saw Xuanyue looking at him with a face full of concern. He was lying on her soft thighs. Their eyes met. Dumb and Xuanyue unconsciously dodged at the same time. Xuanyue pulled her little hand out of Dumb's hand. Her pretty face was slightly red as she softly said, "Get up."

Dumb responded. He suddenly felt that there was something between him and Xuanyue, but he couldn't explain it.

When he stood up, he found that there were six elves in the treehouse. They were all middle-aged. Two of them were women. The one in the middle gave him a special feeling. Although she had a smile on her face, her body was faintly emitting a dignified aura as she stared at him. Her beauty was completely different from the elven girls he had seen before. It was a kind of noble and elegant beauty. Her whole body emitted an amazing charm. Dumb subconsciously said, "Aunty, you're so beautiful!"

Yanshi tugged at Dumb and whispered, "Don't be rude. This is Her Majesty, Queen Of Elves."

There was no woman who didn't want others to praise her beauty. Queen Of Elves was no exception. She smiled and said, "It's alright. Little friend, on behalf of the elven race, I thank you for saving our people. "

Dumb scratched his head and said, "I, I, aunty, I don't know how to speak. I just feel that those people are bad people."

Queen Of Elves sighed and said, "That's right! They are all bad people. We elves have always stood aloof from worldly affairs, but they captured our people. "At this point, her expression became gloomy as if she was thinking of something sad. She turned to her side and said to Ao Di, "Di, tell everyone about what happened. I'm a bit tired."

Ao Di gently said, "Your Majesty, you should go back and rest first."

The Elf Queen shook her head and closed her eyes. Her long eyelashes fluttered gently on her gloomy eyelids.

Ao Di took a step forward and said, "Friends of the elven race, thank you very much for your help. I am the elven race's Great Spirit Envoy, Ao Di. Let me introduce you to Tianying. The other three are also our elven race's Great Spirit Envoys. "He pointed at a female elf and said," This is Great Spirit Envoy Ruo Yan. "

Ruo Yan nodded at everyone and said to Dumb, "Little friend, I want to thank you for saving my daughter."

Dumb was stunned and said, "Your daughter?"

Ruo Yan smiled and said, "It's Ruo Ma who you met before."

Dumb then remembered the elven mage girl who saw him use Hades Sword. He said, "Aunty, no need to be so polite."

Ao Di pointed at the other two elves and said, "These two are Great Spirit Envoy Si Di and Great Spirit Envoy Beals." The two Great Spirit Envoys nodded at everyone. Everyone quickly returned the gesture.

Aside from Dumby, everyone else was very surprised. Although it was the first time Moon Mark and the others had come to the Elven Forest, they knew the status of the Great Elven Envoy among the elves. Not to mention the presence of the Elven Queen.

Ao Di sighed and said with some difficulty, "Friends, right now, our Elven race has a very troublesome matter that we need your help with. Are you willing?"

Moon Mark said, "What is it that makes the Elven race so troubled?"

Ao Di said, "It's a long story. Our Elven race has always lived peacefully in the Elven Forest. This kind of self-sufficient life has made us very happy. We have never provoked any race, including humans. Even the Heaven's Yuan race's savage beastmen have a good relationship with us. However, for some reason, a few months ago, many strangers suddenly came to our territory. They specifically target elves who are alone. Up until now, even with our strict defenses, they have still managed to capture dozens of elves. What made us most sad was that our daughter, Xing Er, was also captured by them. "Saying this, Ao Di's eyes revealed a strong sense of sadness.

Everyone was shocked, and Rock cried out involuntarily, "What? The Star Princess was also captured? But, she should have a lot of elves protecting her! "

Queen Elves let out a long sigh, then opened her eyes and said, "This is all because that girl is too naughty. She always felt that being surrounded by a large group of people was very boring, so she secretly used elven magic to escape from the elven city. When we found her, there was no trace of her in the Elven Forest. It must have been those outsiders who took her away. Xing Er is only 72 years old this year, which is equivalent to a human's age of 14 or 15. I really don't dare to imagine what happened to her. I've come with the Great Elven Envoys in hopes that we can borrow your power to find Xing 'er. "As he spoke, tears rolled down the Elven King's face, and his body twitched slightly. Ao Di hugged Queen Elves and also sighed.

Dumb walked in front of Queen Elves and comforted her, "Aunty, don't cry. Your daughter will definitely be fine. I, I promise you, I will definitely find her and bring her back to see you. "

Yue Hen frowned and thought to himself, This Dumb is too impulsive. There are so many people on the continent, how are we going to find her! Also, are the people who captured the Elven Princess that easy to deal with? Thinking this, he said, "Your Majesty, we really want to help you find your daughter. However, I have a question. With the abilities of you and the Great Elven Envoys, there are very few on the continent who are a match for you. Any one of you is much stronger than all of us combined. Why do you need to ask us for help? With our current abilities, I'm afraid we are not qualified. "

Queen Elves looked at Dumb, who was at a loss, and said, "That's right, your abilities are indeed lacking, but we also have our own difficulties. You should know that on the entire continent, we are looked down upon by humans. They look down on us and capture our clansmen just to make them slaves for fun. Including me, all of the elves have lived here since young. Everything on the continent is foreign to us. Although we are powerful, once we leave the Elven Forest, it will be difficult for us to move. How are we going to find our missing clansmen? However, you are different. You understand the continent better than us, and you are all humans, so it will be much more convenient for you to do things. Most importantly, you are all friends of the elven race. I hope that you can lend us a helping hand. The elven race will never forget your kindness. "

Yue Hen said, "Your Majesty, I know that your daughter's disappearance has made you very anxious. We are not afraid of danger, but those who captured the elves are not people we can deal with. Even if we find them, we won't be able to save your clansmen. Moreover, we have another objective for this trip. Apart from Yanshi and Yan Li, we are all mercenaries with our own missions. "It wasn't that he didn't want to help the elves, he just didn't want to throw away his life in vain. Those who could afford to buy the elves at a high price were not people they could deal with.

Dumb said anxiously, "Big Brother Yue Hen, let's postpone the matter of going to the Death Mountain Range first. Saving people is more important!"

Miao Fei snorted and said, "Even if you want to throw away your life, don't drag us along. If we are lucky, we might still have a chance to go to the Death Mountain Range. If we provoke those powerful aristocrats, isn't that the same as throwing away our lives?"

Dumb was stunned, and said, "How do you know that it was the aristocrats who captured auntie's daughter?"

Miao Fei said, "Even if you think with your feet, you would know. If it wasn't for someone offering a high price, would those thieves take the risk to come to the elven race to capture people? The richest people on the continent aren't the merchants, but the aristocrats. Perhaps, the royal families of the empires are also involved. Not to mention that we don't have the ability to save people, even if we do, we would still be able to save them. Do you think we can send them back alive? "

Yanshi took a few steps forward and walked in front of Queen Of Elves, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, although my friend's words are unpleasant to hear, what he said is the truth. With just the few of us, I'm afraid … "

Dumb was a little anxious, and said, "The elves are so pitiful, why aren't you willing to help them? If you don't want to go, I'll go myself …"

Ao Di pressed on Dumb's shoulder, stopping him from continuing. He wasn't angered by the words of Yue Hen and the others, and said indifferently, "Don't worry, since we are asking for your help, of course we won't let you die in vain. You want to go to the Death Mountain Range, right? What's your purpose? "

Yue Hen said, "We received a mission from the Mercenary Guild to search for top-grade magic crystals in the Death Mountain Range."

Ao Di nodded, "I see. I'm not trying to discourage you, but with your strength, if you enter the Death Mountain Range, you won't be able to come out alive. "

Miao Fei said with dissatisfaction, "How do you know we won't succeed?"

Ao Di glanced at him, and said indifferently, "Because I've been there before. I'm one of the few people who can come out alive after entering the Death Mountain Range. "

Yue Hen said in shock, "What? You've been to the Death Mountain Range? "

Ao Di nodded, and said, "That's right, a hundred years ago, I was still an elf envoy. You should know that only in the most dangerous of times can one's potential be stimulated. I'm not afraid to laugh at you, but there were many elves who pursued Her Majesty, and their strength was similar to mine. In order to raise my cultivation, for the sake of my beloved, I secretly left the Elven Forest and went to the Death Mountain Range. "
