The Whispering Verses Chapter 2549: Elven Arrows and Journey to Vesta City
Chapter 2548 Elf Arrow and Journey to Vesta City
After bidding farewell to Luvia for the time being, Shade prepared enough cat food for little Mia for lunch before heading to the unfamiliar city in the forest.
After walking out of the tree hole in the open space of the ruins, he immediately leaned against the big tree and looked around. The forest land was still peaceful during the day, and the shadows of the trees were projected onto the floor tiles at the edge of the ruins. The big-tailed squirrel that was originally picking up pine cones in the shadow of the trees was startled by the sudden appearance of Shade, and quickly ran up the tree holding the pine cones. .
Shad thought that the mysterious elf would appear immediately, but after waiting for a long time, he did not see her.
So I put on a garland and tried to find the sea of flowers based on the location I noted last night. The forest told Shade how to move forward, but when he came to the clearing, although the sea of flowers was still there, the elves had disappeared.
Fortunately, above the sea of silver-blue flowers, the familiar small silver-blue flowers are floating in the sun. When Shade walked over, it took the initiative to fly forward to show Shade the way.
After that, Shade entered the forest again and followed the little flower for about five minutes. After crossing a forest stream, the flower stopped under a giant tree. The flower slowly fell into his hand again.
Shad looked around, and finally raised his head and saw a tree house on the giant tree. The reason why it is called "a set" is because rope ladders and tree vines connect the upper and lower floors of a fairly large house.
This is a typical elf-style building. It is obvious that the mysterious elf girl lives here.
Shad turned into a butterfly and flew upwards. At this moment, the door of the middle floor of the three-story tree house was also pushed open. The blond elf dressed exactly the same as yesterday came out and stood on the wooden platform in front of the door. The tree on which the tree house is built is extremely tall. From here, you can see the lush forest sea in early autumn when you look out into the forest.
So the butterfly flock fell beside her:
"Good morning, Miss Siam Nord."
As Shade said this, he showed his figure, but the elf took a step to the side, seemingly not wanting to get too close to Shade.
Of course, she was only two meters away from Shade at this time.
Putting one hand on the railing and turning to look at him, there was almost no psychological activity in his emerald green eyes:
"Siam Nord is just one of the priest surnames among the elves of the Yuexi clan. Not all elves of the Yuexi clan have the surname Siam Nord."
"I don't know much about this, I'm so sorry."
Having a complete set of "ancient elf knowledge" given by the tree father, and having heard many modern elf traditions from Emilia, the outsider said sheepishly:
"But this place you live in is really nice."
As he spoke, he took out the slate with "Crystal Light" that he had taken from the black market last night from his pocket. The elf was not surprised by the appearance of such a large slate. She stretched out her hand and the slate floated to the table in front of the tree house door behind them:
"You move really fast."
"Since you have agreed to do something for others, you naturally have to deal with it as soon as possible."
He answered like this, but had no intention of leaving immediately:
"Speaking of which, do you know anything about Vista City?"
"Of course."
The emerald green eyes continued to look at him:
"Why, do you still want to inquire about local information from me? But I am actually more familiar with this woodland than the city. I have not lived here as long as you think. I want to inquire about the folk customs and information of this area. Like, you can go to the black market."
"Well, do you know if there is a big hotel locally with an accordion-shaped sign?"
The elf's eyes moved away and looked at the forest scenery:
"You can buy a copy of the "Vista Woodland Travel Guide". Page 8 introduces the details of the 'Accordion Inn'. It is very famous there. It only takes seven minutes to walk from the Accordion Inn to the 'Golden Music Hall' ."
She seemed to feel that the questions asked by Shade were boring, and her tone was rather disgusting:
"I feel like you are testing me. Why, haven't you seen elves before?"
"I've seen elves, but I didn't expect to see pure-blood elves living alone around human cities."
"Before humans, the forest belonged to the elves."
She continued to look at Lin Hai:
"If you are doubtful about my friendly attitude towards you, I said it last night. I am just curious about you. You have the blessing of the tree. If I were not sure that although you disguised your face, you are indeed a human being. I even suspect that you are also a high elf."
"I do know a young high elf."
Xia De paused:
"But my purpose of coming here has nothing to do with elves. In fact, I am looking for someone, and my friend disappeared here."
"Friends?"
"Or teacher. In short, she is a very strong lady. You and I can't beat her together.
Although I have some clues now, after all, I am only one person. So if you have time, I would like to entrust you to help me find traces of her in this forest. Of course, I'll pay you. ”
The blond elf’s fingers tapped on the wooden railing:
"There are not many ring warlocks who mysteriously disappear in the Vista Woodland every year. There are always some people who don't know how to respect the forest. There is no problem in helping you find someone. I don't charge you. After all, I don't think I can help you find someone. Get."
She raised her left hand to twist a strand of hair beside her ear:
"I do have some interesting information about Vista Glades. If you want this information, help me collect something during the operations in Vista Glades and Brookwood Town.
There are many relics of ancient elves unearthed from ruins scattered locally. I need this. ”
Light green light spots formed transparent arrows in front of the two people. The arrow kept turning over itself, allowing Shade to see every detail of it. The arrowheads are engraved with ancient elven runes, and the arrow shafts are densely intertwined with patterns of trees and leaves.
"Is this an antique? Or an alchemical weapon? Or a relic?"
Xia De asked.
"When you find it, you can give yourself the answer. I don't know how many lost arrows there are in total, but every time you get one back, I will give you some reward. You can regard this as a commission. If I help you, you will help me, right?"
The elf said, Shade looked at her:
"There's nothing wrong with helping, but this is only the second time we've met. Why would you want to entrust me with such a thing? You seem to be very familiar with me?"
The blond elf smiled, then twirled his hair and turned to look at him:
"I admit that you are handsome, but please don't use this old-fashioned pick-up method to bring us closer. You have the breath of a tree. Like me, you have been blessed by the ancient Father of Trees. Blessings, that’s enough.”
Some light green light spots floated out again, and after touching the wooden railing in front of the two people, the dead wood instantly came back to life.
Xia De reached out and touched it. It was a genuine trace of the miraculous element of the Tree Father's magic. It's just that it's not a time-based thaumaturgy, but a thaumaturgy related to "trees".
"Do you feel satisfied with this?"
"Yes, I will accept the commission to help you find those arrows."
After bidding farewell to the mysterious elf, Shade went to Vesta City wearing a wreath. This time we continued along the forest railway, and then took the train to the Vista City Railway Station.
I arrived in the city in the middle of the night yesterday, and now standing in the same position at the door of the train station on a sunny morning, Shade was once again convinced that the city was filled with a relaxed and leisurely atmosphere.
The "City of Music" is surrounded by forests and seems to be completely isolated from other worries on this continent. If it weren't for the children selling newspapers who were still shouting about today's big news, "His Majesty King Lion Lion announced an expansion of the army by 200,000 people," Shade almost forgot that the conflict between the North and the South was really on the verge of breaking out.
Because he had his own destination, Shade did not wander around in this strange city. After finding the taxi at the entrance of the train station, we asked the driver to set off for the "Accordion Hotel".
On the way, Shade also talked with the talkative coachman about whether there was any news in the city recently, but the biggest news he got was that the mayor's mistress was photographed by reporters during a private meeting, and the hotel was about to open. The Moon Dance Festival concert attracted a large number of tourists, musicians and environmentalists from all over the world to protest against small things such as government deforestation in front of the city hall.
The city of Vista is not very large, and it only takes less than an hour to get from the train station in the northeast of the city to the city center. This is because the local streets are not very wide, so horse-drawn carriages do not dare to Driving too fast.
On the way, Xia De also saw the general appearance of the entire city from the car window. There were not many tall buildings here, but green plants could be seen everywhere. Not only street trees and flower pots on the balconies of residential buildings, flowers and green leaves seem to fill every gap in the city.
Nature and the city grow together harmoniously. Even if this place does not have the title of "Music City", Shade feels that this place can definitely be called a "Garden City".
Of course, Schade also discovered an astonishing number of concert halls and opera houses in the city. Although these buildings are not all very formal performance venues, at least every concert hall and opera house with a sign hanging at the entrance can see the audience entering and exiting.
The terrain of the entire city of Vista is high in the middle and low on all sides, similar to Huntington, both built on hills. In the past, Ximu Town was located in the northeast of the hills, with the main part of the town distributed on both sides of the river. However, today the city completely occupies the hills.
The city center is the "Golden Music Hall", which is actually the highest point in the entire city. City halls, police stations and other city functional departments are built around the "Golden Music Hall", so the "Accordion Hotel", which is less than a ten-minute walk from there, is also the most important hotel and landmark building in the entire city.
