Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Elf Clan Leader

Located between Cyan Dragon City and Black Tortoise City, there lies a vast and boundless forest known as Mist Forest.

Setting out from Cyan Dragon City, passing through the Autumn Wind Plain, crossing the Sinful Swamp, and then over the Ogrin Mountain Range, and across a Demusa River, one arrives at the location of Mist Forest.

Continuing eastward from the Mist Forest, there is an area perpetually shrouded in poison.

This region, shrouded in toxic mist throughout the year, is the legendary Elf Forest.

A group of nature’s beloved children, unbothered by worldly affairs, once lived in the Elf Forest, known as Elves.

They are renowned for their beauty, regardless of gender.

Their distinctively pointed ears are a unique symbol of their identity.

What truly makes the Elf Race renowned among the Hundred Races is their innate extraordinary talent.

That is, the comprehension and utilization of wood magic; along with an innate acute perception for archery.

In these two talents, no one can rival them.

The Wood Mage is a powerful profession in all magic system professions, being, besides water talent, the only one that integrates control, healing, and output.

In comparison to the gentleness of the water element, the wood element displays more pronounced control and healing.

And the Elf Race’s Wood Mages have taken wood magic to its peak in this domain.

Their talent in wood magic is on par with, if not superior to, their archery prowess.

It is said that every elf is a born divine archer from birth.

Even if it’s just an ordinary bow and arrow, once it’s in their hands, they can deal one hundred percent or even two hundred percent damage, which is astonishing.

During the Anti-Demon War in the formation of the Hundred Races Alliance, the Elf Race was undoubtedly one of the most hated races by the Demon Race.

Even when the Demon Race chose to retreat to the Abyss, they didn’t forget to use a magical barrier on the Elf Forest, isolating the Elf Race from the Hundred Races.

The strength of the Elf Race is undeniable, and it is precisely because of their strength that the Demon Race detests them;

It is also because of their strength that during the Anti-Demon Stage, being the vanguard, they almost faced the same fate of annihilation as the Werewolf Race.

Even if they ultimately narrowly escaped.

Even after hundreds of years, the Elf Race still hasn’t recovered even a tenth of their peak vitality.

……

At this moment in the Elf Village, this day might be the liveliest day for the Elf Race since being trapped by the magical barrier.

This lively atmosphere isn’t due to some festival or event, but because of a person.

A mage capable of breaking through the magical barrier and coming from the outside world.

He was also the first non-Elven being they encountered in hundreds of years.

Moreover, he was a human, described by their ancestors as the epitome of slyness and deceit.

The Elf Village is built within a dense forest.

Every tree here has a delicate pavilion on it, which serves as the dwelling place for the Elf Race.

In the center of the village, there is a bright and smooth plaza, with the most striking feature being the radiant, jade-like Holy Tree at the plaza’s center.

Countless blue, orange, red, and green light spots surround the Holy Tree, adding a solemn and holy atmosphere to this tree that the Elf Race depends on for survival.

The Holy Tree is not only a sacred object to the Elf Race, but it also resembles their mother.

The Elf Race is not like humans, who nurture life through the human body.

They are all birthed from the Holy Tree by collecting the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, and then nurtured from the tree.

At this moment, almost all the elves were gathered here, with nearly everyone’s eyes drawn to the proud, upright figure beside the Holy Tree.

“Is this a human? His ears are so ugly, so short.”

“Didn’t the elder say humans are ugly? This human doesn’t look as ugly as I imagined!”

“Amia, the elder said ugliness refers to the human heart, not appearance! We cannot see the heart.”

“Oh!”

“Then how do you think he got in from the outside?”

“This magical barrier is something even the Great Elder can’t get through, does it mean he’s more powerful than the Great Elder?”

“I don’t know.”

“He seems to have appeared with that elemental spirit, not sure if it’s that elemental spirit.”

…

While all the elves were discussing and pointing fingers at this unexpected visitor, Lin Yi, the subject of discussion, kept his attention fixed on the small figure in a coma on the Holy Tree.

Aifula!

Ignoring the discussion around him, Lin Yi finally spoke after confirming that the elemental spirit was indeed Aifula:

“What’s wrong with her? What must I do to save her.”

Beside Lin Yi, the Great Elder of the Elf Race, Gamplov, sighed and said:

“If I’m not mistaken, she probably had to use a Forbidden Magic spell, ‘Star Shifting,’ of their elemental spirit to save you, and then brought you here.”

Lin Yi frowned:

“Get to the point!”

“Alright!”

Gamplov continued:

“The reason why this magic is classified as forbidden is that any Elemental Spirit who uses it will deplete their life force, leading to their demise.”

“I have also only read about it in the ancient records of the Elf Race. This is the first time I’ve seen an Elemental Spirit willing to sacrifice its life for a human.”

Listening to the Elf Elder, Lin Yi felt a bit agitated and said:

“Just tell me what I need to do to save her!”

“Originally, she was as good as dead, but fortunately, she happened to fall into the Holy Tree.”

“I’ve already used the power of the Holy Tree to preserve a fragment of her soul, but our tribe’s Holy Tree was severely damaged during the battle against the Demon Race and has not yet recovered its energy.”

“To save her, the Holy Tree must first be restored to its divine power. Only by using the Holy Tree to regenerate her Divine Soul does she stand a chance of new life.”

Hearing this, Lin Yi picked up something unusual, raising an eyebrow,

“Are you saying you want me to help the Elf Race repair the Holy Tree?”

Gamplov didn’t seem to have any intention to hide his thoughts, meeting Lin Yi’s gaze,

“This is the only chance to save the Elemental Spirit, and you could see it as the price you should pay for me helping bring her back to life.”

Lin Yi’s eyes were complex as he looked at Gamplov.

“Then what should I do?”

Gamplov replied calmly:

“I’ve heard that the City Lord of Cyan Dragon City has a branch from the World Tree. You just need to bring it here.”

“Wait a minute!”

Lin Yi was stunned as he looked at Gamplov,

“What did you say? World Tree branch!”

What was the World Tree? It’s said to be the fundamental existence that supports the entire Rafam Continent!

Not to mention what the World Tree is like or its extraordinary nature, because those are too distant.

Just the branch of the World Tree mentioned by Gamplov made a deep impression on Lin Yi.

In the previous life, after the expansion of “Demon Race’s Arrival” was released, nearly a million demons launched an attack on Cyan Dragon City.

At that time, when the players and City Lord’s troops were about to collapse under the powerful onslaught of the Demon Race, it was City Lord Babylon who finally stepped in.

With just an unassuming branch in his hand, he slaughtered tens of thousands of demons, advancing and retreating seven times with lamentations echoing all around.

They were beaten so badly they couldn’t fight back, and numerous generals were killed or injured.

In fear of Babylon’s terrifying strength, just as Cyan Dragon City was about to fall, the Demon Race had no choice but to retreat.

In that battle, it was the first time Babylon revealed his absolute strength as the City Lord of Cyan Dragon City to the world.

According to people at that time, Babylon’s strength was at least at the Demon King Level.

And what people talked about with relish afterwards was the special weapon that Babylon held: the World Tree branch.

No one knows who spread this news, but the description of Babylon’s World Tree branch was scarce, though one detail was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.

It was that the branch was at least Divine Artifact Level, otherwise, how could it match Babylon’s status as the City Lord of Cyan Dragon City?

Thinking of this, Lin Yi felt that Gamplov was joking with him, asking him to get a Divine Artifact from the City Lord of Cyan Dragon City?

Would any sane person think this possible?

Seeing Gamplov’s serious expression, Lin Yi couldn’t help but ask:

“Isn’t there any other way?”

Gamplov was straightforward,

“This is the only way.”

Lin Yi couldn’t help but roll his eyes,

“How could such a thing be done? Are you messing with me?”

At this moment, Haploos spoke:

“If this were someone else, even me, it would be absolutely impossible. But if it’s you…”

“What do you mean? Do you think my reputation is greater than yours?”

“Not you, but Kalsa!”

Lin Yi’s eyes widened,

“Could it be that the City Lord has some connection with the God of Kalsa?”

Suddenly, Gamplov said:

“During the Anti-Demon War, Kalsa once saved Babylon’s life.”

Lin Yi found it a bit unbelievable,

“Just because of this, he’s willing to give me that World Tree branch? Are you kidding me?”

“Of course not,”

Gamplov smiled and said:

“Simply having your identity as Kalsa’s successor might not be enough, but what if you were also the Clan Leader of the Elf Race?”

“What?”

………

Sorry, I’ve been busy today, so the update is late.

Once I’m done in the next couple of days, I’ll definitely make up for the updates, thank you for your understanding!
