Chapter 628 Returning Home
"I see……"
After listening to Lana's explanation, Qi Ge couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"So, the historical echo of the harpy hag, I also have a perfect guide?
No wonder you can get the mythical Immortal Forest. "
Qi Ge thought for a while and asked:
"Lana, can you now teleport away with the other races on the Immortal Wood?"
Lana nodded with a smile and said:
"sure!
Even Brother Qi Ge and your troops can bring us back to the City of God's Choice together.
After I leave, Poseidon will be able to take back the divine power placed here. "
"Then let's leave as soon as possible."
"Um!!"
Under the notice of Seven Pigeons, all races living around the Immortal Wood began to prepare for the great migration.
The Sea People and Sea Boars returned to the land after a long absence. They knelt down and kissed the branches of the Immortal Tree, crying bitterly.
The harpies gathered around the old-looking queen and helped her groom her hair.
They want the queen who has sacrificed herself to protect them for so many years to leave this ghost place beautifully and welcome their new life.
All races are busy, only some little druids and elves on the island seem particularly calm.
For the long lifespan of the elves, these more than a hundred years are not very long.
Qi Ge didn't pay much attention to these elves at first, because their number was too small, only about thirty.
But now, Qige suddenly realized a problem.
"Back in the historical echo, I searched all over the ancient archipelago and found only three [Druid monks] Tong Yan Ju, Tong Yan Da, and Tong Yan Pian.
There were no other elves in the ancient archipelago at that time.
Where did these thirty elves come from?
Lily is infinitely good, but it won’t give birth!
Three girl elves can't breed thirty elves, right?
If it is said that the elven tribe subsequently migrated to the Ancient Islands, the number is too small. "
With strong curiosity, Qige asked Lana for help and gathered all the elves.
Qige took one look and saw the figures of the three childlike sisters among the three dozing druids.
Although they didn't know themselves, Qi Ge was still very happy, feeling excited about meeting an old friend in a foreign country.
At this time, they no longer looked as weak as before, with the equipment and appearance of high-level troops.
The most promising Tong Yanju, just like in the historical echo, advanced to the level 3 and level 5 miracle unit [Druid Bishop].
【Bishop Druid
…
trick:
Ranged arms
Prayer of Life: When the Druid Bishop is on the battlefield, all our troops receive 10 health points per round.
Magical Prayer: When the Druid Bishop is on the battlefield, all our troops receive 2 points of magic restored each round.
Resurrection Prayer: The Druid Bishop can resurrect a group of team members regardless of distance. The resurrection points are the number of Druid Bishops * 300. (Can only be used once per battle)]
After temporarily suppressing the excitement, Qi Ge asked about the origins of the elves.
"Fellow compatriots.
Please allow me to call you this. Although I only have half of the elven blood in my body, I am also a member of your race.
I am honored to fight alongside you and defeat Chaos.
I heard Lana say that you have been providing food for other troops to survive on the Immortal Wood.
On behalf of Yasha and the gods, thank you for your dedication and persistence.
Having persisted in this chaotic sea for so long, you must have experienced a lot.
Everyone, to be honest, my father is a very good bard.
If you can, can you tell me your story?
Heroes should not be unknown, your stories need to be told. "
The elves looked at each other and looked at Qi Ge with some caution.
This made Qi Ge feel very strange.
After all, he was the reinforcement who saved Immortal Wood, so he shouldn't be looked at like this.
After a while, one of the elves came out carrying a bow and arrow.
He stood up straight and said to Qi Ge:
"Hero, thank you very much for your assistance.
We are just a group of ordinary elves, with no stories worth telling.
On behalf of all the elves, I request you that when we return to the world of Yasha, let us leave on our own.
When we find our clan, we will surely find you and return the favor. "
Seeing the other party's movements, Qi Ge's pupils shrank, and he had a vague guess in his mind.
He kept his expression and said with a smile: "No problem. No one can restrict the freedom of elves, and neither do I."
After chatting with the elf, Qige's expression changed and he rushed to the top of the immortal tree without stopping.
The elves are unwilling to tell, but there are many people on the Immortal Tree who are willing to tell.
He was going to find Lana and the harpies to find out.
“It can’t be wrong.
The guerrilla step and the flower and tree ceremony are all etiquette of the army during the Elf Empire.
The opponent was a regular army from the Elf Empire period.
These thirty or so elves must have secrets hidden within them. "
Soon, Qi Ge rushed to Lana's room.
Seeing Qige hurriedly approaching, Lana asked strangely:
"Qige, are you looking for me?"
"Lana, when did the elves on your immortal wood come? Do you have any impression?"
"Elves?"
Lana tilted her head in confusion and said:
"Remember, sixty years ago, a group of Emerald Dragons fled to us from another Emerald Islands that was not swallowed up by Chaos.
All the elves came with the Emerald Dragon.
No, it should be said that the Emerald Dragon sacrificed its entire clan regardless of the cost, and just protected the elves from escaping to our Immortal Wood. "
Qige asked in shock:
"All elves, including those three [Druid Bishops]?"
"Bishop Druid?"
Lana tilted her head in confusion.
"You don't know him.
Well, how should I put it, there are three female elves who look very similar, and the one at the head is..."
Qi Ge gestured with two big watermelons on his chest with both hands.
"Then there were two left, one like this and the other like this."
The seven pigeons gestured to a coconut and a tablet respectively.
"oh!!"
This vivid body language was immediately understood by Lana.
"I remember them. They also came here with the Emerald Dragon. Among the elves, their status is not low. Usually the elves are not willing to make them tired."
Qi Ge:......
The three Tongyan sisters who originally lived in the Ancient Islands area actually came from the Emerald Islands...
“The Emerald Islands, the Emerald Dragon, the remnants of the Elf Empire.
If there was no story in it, I would have picked off Zhang Fu’s cartilage. "
"Little Princess Malodia and Jenny told me that the Elf Empire once sent a fleet with the Silver Spirit as the flagship to the Chaos Sea to find fragments of the [Guardian Statue of the Soul].
Could it be said that these elves emerging from the Emerald Island are the crew of that fleet?
It's possible, but unlikely.
If I remember correctly, the main members of that fleet were Silver Elves.
But these elves are basically druids and wood elves.
But this possibility cannot be completely denied.
No, it involves the safety of the galaxy, so I have to test it no matter what. "
Qi Ge fell into thinking:
“When we return to the world of Yasha, forcing the elves to stay may arouse their vigilance.
Just test it on the immortal wood. "
Thinking of this, Qi Ge rushed back to the Silver Spirit, found Elena, and explained the situation to Elena.
"Do you suspect that they are crew members of the Mithril Fleet?"
Elena opened her eyes in disbelief:
“It’s impossible, it’s been nearly 200 years since the Mithril Fleet disappeared.
Wood elves are relatively long-lived, but the lifespan of the druids is less than 300 years.
When selecting crew members for the Mithril Fleet, they selected all the top players of our elves at that time, and the youngest ones were all over a hundred years old.
If those elves were the crew of the mithril fleet, then all the druids you saw would be senile. "
Qi Ge touched his chin and said:
"That's the truth, but I always have a hunch that they hide some secret.
When they saw me, they were extremely alert and vigilant.
He even seemed reluctant to talk to me.
When communicating with me, they were very careful not to reveal any information and showed an extremely strong desire to stay away. "
Qi Ge pointed at his face and said:
"If the male elves behave like this, I can barely understand it, but even the female elves among them have this reaction.
Elena, do you think this is normal? "
Elena stared at Qi Ge carefully for a while and nodded in agreement:
“You’re right, it’s not normal.
I'll go and see with you. If they are really the survivors of the Elf Empire, maybe some of us in the Silver Elf clan know them. "
…
…
Elena followed Qi Ge and looked around curiously.
There were many races on the Immortal Wood that she had never seen before, which opened her eyes.
Especially the sea boar, which was completely blue and only had white teeth, made Elena look at it in a state of disbelief.
Along the way, she asked Qi Ge several times if she could ask a willing sea boar to borrow two pig tusks to study whether they could be used as ingredients for refining medicine, but Qi Ge ruthlessly refused.
As the two approached the Elf clan's stronghold, something strange happened.
An elf was walking on the road carrying a bowl of water. The moment he saw Qige and Elena, he froze on the spot.
Even when the bowl in his hand fell on the bark of a tree and broke, he didn't feel anything.
Elena and Qi Ge looked at the elf strangely at the same time. Just when Qi Ge was about to say hello, the elf suddenly jumped up and shouted excitedly:
"Yin Yue Witch Zhu!!"
"Master Disaster Witch Zhu!"
Qige:? ? ?
Qi Ge quickly looked at Elena, and he found that Elena's expression was also very surprised.
Qi Ge quietly poked Elena and asked:
"Elena, what's going on? Do you know each other?"
Elena also replied in a low voice:
"I don't know him, but what he called was the title of my mother Elian Yue.
My mother, Elian Yue, is a witch from the elves who predicts disasters.
Yilianyue is my mother's real name, but in the clan, she usually calls herself Yinyue.
Qi Ge, you guessed it right, the other party is really an elf from the elf empire period. "
While Qi Ge and Elena were talking, the elf was already running back excitedly.
He walked through the treehouse made of immortal tree leaves and shouted:
"Everyone, come out quickly! Master Yin Yue is here to pick us up."
"Everyone, come out! The witch is here!"
"Witch?!"
"The witch of disaster has also come to the Sea of Chaos?"
In the tree house, the elves responded in disbelief and poked their heads out of the tree house.
They were all excited to see the beautiful Elena with flowing silver hair.
"It's really the witch."
"Hurry, go and see the witch."
Except for the three sisters with childlike faces who were at a loss, the other elves ran over excitedly.
They excitedly surrounded Elena, knelt on one knee, and shouted loudly:
"Witch bless, no disasters and no troubles."
Elena quickly took a step back and said seriously:
"You are kneeling in the wrong way, Yin Yue is my mother.
I am only the disaster witch of the silver elves, not the disaster witch of the entire elves, and I am not qualified to accept your greetings."
"Mother?"
"Is Yin Yue married? The child is so big?"
"How is this possible?"
The elves were very surprised.
Qi Ge felt something was wrong, and he had a very strong sense of disobedience.
Qi Ge held Elena's hand, frowned and said:
"I testify that she is indeed not the Yin Yue you mentioned, and she is indeed the daughter of Yin Yue witch.
I feel that there seems to be a big barrier between our cognition.
Can you tell me, are you elves who left the Elf Empire?"
The elves looked at Qi Ge, no one answered, and they were obviously hesitant.
Qi Ge took a deep breath and said:
"Even if you don't answer, you have been exposed since you just called out the Silver Yue Wuzhu.
I just confirmed with you.
I have many doubts, and I can see that you have many doubts too.
I think that honest communication is the best way to resolve doubts.
If you can trust me a little more, I will definitely find a way to help you."
The elves looked at each other, and finally, a wood elf with the oldest appearance stood up:
"Yes, we are indeed from the Elf Empire."
Qi Ge then asked:
"When did you leave the Elf Empire? Has the statue of the guardian of the heart been built? Or, is the statue of the guardian of the heart still there?"
"This..."
The elf hesitated for a moment, and finally answered:
"When we left, the guardian statue was gone."
That was at the end of the third Chaos Invasion, before the Sea God and the Sun were deified, and the Elf Subcontinent was about to fall.
They set out from the Elf Subcontinent and headed to the Chaos Sea to perform a certain mission...
The time was right, and the probability that they were members of the Mithril Fleet increased greatly.
Qi Ge quickly analyzed the time node, took a deep breath, and asked the most critical question:
"How long have you been away from the Elf Empire? Or, how long have you been in the Chaos Sea?"
The Wood Elf answered immediately without any hesitation:
"Sixty-three years.
I remember it clearly."
Qi Ge: ! !
Yelena: ! !
Qi Ge and Elena shouted at the same time:
"Sixty-three years?!"
"How is it possible."
Qi Ge finally found the source of his sense of disharmony.
He said to the elves seriously:
"You may not believe it, but the Elf Empire has long been destroyed.
It has been nearly two hundred years now."
"What?"
"The empire was destroyed?"
"Two hundred years..."
The elves were shocked, their pupils widened, and they looked at a loss.
Elena held her hand to her chest and said seriously:
"What Qi Ge said is true, he didn't lie to you.
The Elf Empire has long been destroyed.
Even my mother has been dead for sixty-nine years."
"No, this is impossible."
An elf took a step back and said in shock:
"It took us only three years from entering the Chaos Sea to leaving the Emerald Islands.
We were trapped on the Immortal Wood for the next sixty years.
Although there is no clear day and night in the Chaos Sea, we have been recording time.
How could there be such a big difference?"
Taking advantage of the elves' confusion, Qi Ge took the opportunity to ask:
"According to records, after the spiritual guardian statue of the Elf Empire was broken, a Mithril fleet was sent to the Chaos Sea to search for the fragments of the [Spirit Guardian Statue].
The flagship in the lead is called the Silver Spirit.
Are you members of that fleet?"
"You!!"
The elves suddenly became very sensitive and looked at Qi Ge with unfriendly eyes.
There were also a few elves with a more impatient temper, who even took out their weapons.
"This is a top secret of our Elf Empire. How did you know it?"
This reaction, in Qi Ge's opinion, is almost equivalent to confessing.
"Top secret..."
Qi Ge shook his head gently and said softly:
"I'm sorry.
Time will change everything.
Any secret has a time limit.
I said that nearly two hundred years have passed. Although what you think is a top secret cannot be said to be known to everyone now, there are definitely many people who know it.
For you, you may have been shouldering the secret mission of finding the guardian statue of the soul.
But for other elves living in the world of Yasha, this is just a past event written in history books.
You want to retrieve the Statue of the Guardian of the Soul in order to keep the crumbling Elf Empire alive.
But the Elf Empire has perished. "
"Already destroyed..."
Qi Ge's last words made the elves look confused.
Their faces were full of mixed emotions as if they had opened a soy sauce shop.
There is doubt, there is fear, there is loss, there is frustration, there is confusion...
Qige felt that if Qin Shihuang traveled back to the present, his expression would be similar to theirs.
They are the warriors who were left behind by the ship of history and guarded the ice floes alone.
They know nothing about the vicissitudes of life and all the changes.
They have just been faithfully fulfilling their mission, even if this mission seems to have no meaning.
Qige did not continue to speak, but gave the elves some buffer time.
Being determined warriors, the elves quickly came to their senses.
They said goodbye to Qi Ge, found a place to discuss with each other for a while, and then returned to Qi Ge.
An elf jumped out of the crowd and solemnly said to Qi Ge and Elena:
“Two compatriots, it’s not that we don’t believe you.
It's just our duty, and we won't reveal anything more to you until we get orders.
When we return to the world of Yasha, we will look for our former tribe.
If the facts are true as you say, we will come back again to answer your questions. "
Qi Ge looked at the other party deeply and said:
"The place where the elves gather now is called Avili, and it is jointly run by the immortal witch Jenny and the little princess Malodia.
My territory is high above the sea, far away from Aveili.
You don't have a battleship, how are you going to get there? "
"this……"
The elf hesitated for a moment and said:
"Thank you for your concern, we will find a solution ourselves when the time comes."
Qi Ge pretended to think for a moment and said:
"Otherwise, I have a few Elf Empire warships here, and I can lend you one to sail back.
How about you wait until you've finished handling the matter over there and then drive it back and return it to me? "
The elf looked happy:
"Of course! If you are really willing to lend us a battleship, we will definitely give you a corresponding reward."
Roar~
You can also drive elf battleships.
You can even drive a magic battleship, it’s so awesome.
Not everyone in the Elf Empire can drive magic battleships.
Chang Wei, you still said you don’t know martial arts?
Qi Ge was convinced that 99.9% of these elves were members of the Mithril Fleet.
Then we can't let them go back.
But how can we pry something out of the mouths of these stubborn elves?
Intimidation and inducement will definitely not work.
With the temperament of the elves, even if they were all tied up and tortured day and night, they would still say what they refused to say.
There is absolutely no chance of success in buying gold coins, resources, etc.
They are a group of guys who don't want to take things too hard.
Fortunately, elves are easier to trick.
Qi Ge did not pursue her fiercely. After achieving initial results, he took Elena away.
Qi Ge could tell that the elves seemed to want to trust Elena more than themselves.
They hesitated several times, seeming to hope that they could keep Elena.
But Qige remained unmoved and pretended not to notice.
After returning to the Silver Spirit, Qi Ge tapped his forehead and said to Elena:
"Honey, I have a favor to ask you to do."
…
…
After a while, Lana was ready to teleport.
Qi Ge invited all the residents of the Immortal Wood to the Silver Spirit on the grounds that there might be danger during teleportation.
He carefully observed the reactions of the elves and found that apart from being amazed by the luxury and magnificence of the Silver Spirit, the elves did not associate the current Silver Spirit with the original flagship.
It is obvious that the Silver Spirit, which has experienced three awakenings, is very different from the previous Silver Spirit in terms of size, model, and appearance.
As a result, these elves of the Mithril Fleet did not realize that the Silver Spirit was their former flagship.
This made Qi Ge feel a little relieved.
This means that as long as Qi Ge can keep the name of the Silver Spirit from being leaked, even the little princess Malodia and Jenny may not be able to recognize the Silver Spirit.
Soon, Lana informed Qige that everything was ready.
"Let's go home together."
Qi Ge rubbed Lana's head, and Lana nodded with a smile.
"Go home!"
In an instant, the huge immortal wood gradually disappeared in the void and began to leave the chaotic sea.
Countless ghost butterflies rioted, trying to rush over to stop the teleportation of the Immortal Wood.
But the clear seawater formed a barrier, blocking all the ghost butterflies outside the barrier.
The ghost saucers that tried to break through were wrapped in the sea water and stuck in the sea water, making it very difficult to even flap their wings.
The light of the Poseidon statue flashed, the divine power channel opened, and the immortal wood completely disappeared in the chaotic sea.
Chaos rioted more and more violently, like a child who had been robbed of a lollipop.
Furious, but impotent.
[System prompt: You have left the Chaotic Sea. 】
[System prompt: You have arrived at the God’s Chosen City]
[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for successfully obtaining the natural wonder: the Immortal Wood. 】
[System prompt: Your miracle building, the Wooded Forest, has been automatically upgraded to the mythical building [Immortal Forest]. ]
[System prompt: A total of 46,000 harpies admire you and want to join your God-chosen City. Do you agree? ]
…
Qi Ge slowly opened his eyes amid the system prompts.
The exclamations of a large group of centaurs who were cutting down timber resources reached Qi Ge's ears.
Qi Ge laughed happily.
He walked to the bow of the Silver Spirit and announced loudly:
"People of the God-chosen City! Your lord is back!"
Sorry, my daughter is sick today and owes 2,000 words. I will try to pay it back tomorrow.
