Elf Story from Another World

chapter Five

The Elf Dragon yawned. Unexpectedly, he did not sleep today but sat on a huge mountain top, looking at the village in the distance.

Because those two cute little kids are leaving.

Until the sparrow landed on the nose of the Elf Dragon and started chirping.

The Elf Dragon suddenly felt a little empty in his heart. The two little guys suddenly wanted to leave, and he was actually a little reluctant to part with them.

In the open space of this village gathering, Charlie looked at the two little guys standing side by side in front of him and sighed.

"Introduce yourself, I'm Charlie." Charlie looked at the two twins who were standing in front of him very restrained and said, "Why do you look like you are being bullied? I don't seem to be bothering you."

Auri and Ouyue raised their heads at the same time, blinking their big watery eyes: "Where are you taking us?"

"The Forest of All Spirits, the capital of the elves." Charlie raised his head and glanced at the sun: "It's almost noon, it's time to go."

He is a very punctual person, so he arrived at the door at eight o'clock as agreed.

As a result, he discovered that both brothers had the habit of sleeping in. When he arrived, they were both lying on the bed sleeping soundly.

This made it difficult for him, so Charlie chose to wander here a little longer, and did not turn back until almost noon.

So the two brothers came here with tears in their eyes.

Charlie sighed again. He looked at the complicated patterns on the foreheads of the two children: "It seems that the legend is true."

"What legend?" Ori and Ouyue liked listening to stories the most, so they looked at Charlie expectantly.

"It means that the patterns of light elements and dark elements will only appear on brothers." Charlie looked at the two of them: "Who is the brother?"

Ori raised his hand: "I am."

"My brother is light, then my brother is dark." Charlie took out a notebook from his arms and took some notes: "Before I go, I will talk about the rules in the city. Since there are many, I will briefly describe them."

He closed the notebook: "Before I meet your person in charge, what I say is an order. Just follow it."

"How do we get there?" Ouyue asked curiously, "Is it far from here to the Forest of All Souls?"

"Oh, we rely on the space teleportation circle." Charlie snapped his fingers, and with him as the center, a light black circle surrounded him and the two brothers.

"Wow." It was the first time for Ori and Ouyue to see such a spell, so the two little guys looked at these magical lines curiously.

Suddenly, they found that outside the magic circle, the villagers gathered in a circle and looked at them. Among them, their parents were also in the crowd, watching them from a distance.

Last night, they accepted it. After all, Ori and Ouyue are both children, and the elves' habit of settling down has only been developed in the past hundred years. They are a race that longs for freedom. They quickly shift their focus from sadness at leaving home to longing for the future.

"It seems that everyone is very reluctant to leave you." Charlie said casually: "You know, there are many people who have expectations for you."

"Why do you have expectations for us?" Ou Yue scratched her head a little embarrassed.

"Because you are elemental elves." Charlie pulled out the dagger from his waist, cut off two pieces of cloth from the gray robe he was wearing, and threw them to the two brothers.

"Why are you giving us this?" Ouyue asked curiously.

"Tie your head up so that the pattern on your forehead doesn't show." Charlie looked at them and said.

Although she didn't understand "why", Ou Yue still tied her head obediently.

"Why do you ask so many questions? It won't do you any harm anyway." Charlie waved his hand impatiently: "Let's go."

Then he chanted loudly, and the long series of incantations seemed to them like the music of strange-sounding instruments.

The light black magic circle slowly rotated, and the black air flow enveloped the space.

"Wow, what's going on?" Ori and Ouyue hugged each other in fear, looking at everything around them and trembling.

"This is an intermediate magic in the space system, directional movement." Charlie explained casually: "The location of the Forest of All Souls is very special. It does not exist in any version of the map, and the only way to get there is through this method. Teleportation circle."

"It looks so powerful." Ouyue looked at the complicated magic circle and couldn't help but said in surprise.

"It's nothing special, it's just an intermediate spell." Charlie shrugged.

Suddenly, the black smoke blocking the surroundings slowly dispersed, and the blocked scene suddenly became brighter.

"Wow." The two brothers sighed unconsciously.

What was happening in front of them was so shocking that they couldn't accept everything in front of them in just a few seconds.

The hillside they were on was a huge plain, and the ground was covered with newly grown grass.

On the tender grass, there is a circular altar cut out of a pile of stones, and a carving knife is used to carve out the complicated patterns of the teleportation circle. The lines carved on the altar where they were located showed a faint black color, but it was slowly weakening as time went by.

There are thousands of magic circles formed in this way, and the one they are in is one of them.

"This is the only passage to the Forest of All Souls, the Spirit Sacrifice Plain." Charlie introduced them: "As you can see, this is a huge plain. There are a total of 1,365 teleportation arrays here. You can teleport from these magic circles to any city in the elves, and you can also teleport from there to here."

Charlie pulled them down from the altar. Under the altar, there were rows of chairs and tables made of stones.

They sat down as he led them to a table with a plate full of fruit.

"Most elven cities have similar teleportation venues, but there is absolutely no such thing as the Spirit Sacrifice Plain." Charlie took out a card full of patterns from his pocket and placed it on the table.

There was a faint fluorescent glow under the stone table. Only then did Ori and Ouyue realize that the cracks on the table were actually magic circles composed of elemental circuits.

Charlie thought for a moment, then picked two palm-sized pears from the plate next to him and handed them to the two brothers: "Eat first, we have to wait before we can leave."

"But we didn't come from the city." Ouyue held the big pear in both hands, took a bite, and asked hesitantly: "Why did we teleport here."

"Because of this." Charlie took out a black crystal from his pocket: "This crystal is a purified space element. It only needs an appropriate amount of guidance. The large amount of space elements contained in this crystal can be forcibly connected to the magic here. Formation."

"Then where are we going next?" Ori looked around and said, "Is this the Forest of All Souls? Why didn't I see any buildings?"

"This is indeed the Forest of All Souls, but the Forest of All Souls covers a very large area, and we are just on the edge of it." Charlie paused, and then said: "As for how we will get there, that will have to wait. Look, there is a lot of traffic today, so you may have to wait a few minutes.”

Before he finished speaking, he heard Ori and Ou Yue exclaim at the same time.

Because at some point, a translucent sphere appeared next to them. The sphere slowly opened something like a door towards them.

"This is what we are going to ride on to the city, it's called a floating ball." Charlie said, then put the card on the table back into his pocket, and stepped into the ball: "Come in and explain to you."

Ori and Ou Yue quickly got in, and the two little guys looked at this magical thing with curiosity on their faces.

"Its shell is made of synthetic resin, and the specific synthetic material is a secret. The power source is the elemental array, and the specific driving array is also a secret." Charlie looked out from the window above, and the translucent sphere slowly flew up and then flew in one direction.

"Wow." Ori and Ouyue lay on the window. Looking from a high altitude, they finally saw clearly how terrifying the area of ​​​​the Spirit Sacrifice Plain was. At the same time, they discovered that it was surrounded by forests.

"The pears you just ate are produced here. In the Forest of All Souls, all plants grow several times faster." Charlie explained like a tour guide: "These are also places that belong to the Forest of All Souls. And the city is still dozens of kilometers away from here."

"Since it's so big, why can't I find it on the map?" Ori and Ouyue turned around and asked curiously.

"I said, this is confidential." Charlie covered his mouth with his hand.

Ori and Ouyue looked at him with displeasure. This guy just liked this. Whenever he mentioned something curious, he would just say it was confidential.

"But I can tell you." Charlie shrugged: "As long as you swear not to tell any members of other races, I will tell you, because this is something that the entire elves need to keep strictly confidential."

"Okay." Ori and Ouyue nodded at the same time.

"Then raise your right hand and swear to the ancestors." Charlie raised his right hand first: "This is the most common gesture among you in the city. You hear words similar to swearing to the ancestors' will."

"Why?" Ori and Ouyue suddenly realized what a small place they grew up in. Everything I have seen so far is unseen or even unimaginable.

"The ancestor in the words is Rhine, the ancestor of the elves. Anyone who swears an oath to him can be trusted no matter how cunning that person is." Charlie yawned: "In addition, if you violate the oath you made, , will be sacrificed to the ancestors, commonly known as hanging."

Ori and Ouyue swallowed unconsciously, and a chill sent chills down their necks.

"So I'd better not tell you now, because you are too young to hide the secret now." Charlie's expression suddenly became serious: "The location of the Forest of All Souls is a secret guarded by the elves for generations, because it is It’s a matter of life and death for the elves.”

Ori and Ouyue swallowed and lowered their heads unconsciously.

"By the way, another thing." Charlie pointed to their foreheads: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. In the city, be sure not to reveal the patterns on your foreheads. Because there is no guarantee that no one will be interested in you. Evil thoughts.”

"Why?" Ouyue was stunned: "Why would someone want to hurt us?"

"If you have been mediocre, then nothing will happen." Charlie shrugged: "But you are elemental elves, elemental elves who are destined to be extraordinary at birth. Therefore, some people will always be hostile to you."

Ouyue and Ori both had confused expressions on their faces. They were too young to understand the relationship called competition.

"Don't you understand? But that's fine. After all, you are still children." Charlie said helplessly: "Since you don't understand, then be obedient and don't show your lines in front of only a few strict friends. I understand." "

"I understand." Ori and Ouyue nodded obediently at the same time.

"Then let's take a good look at the secret place that the elves have kept for thousands of years." Charlie looked out the window: "We are almost there."

They could already see a huge white city wall in the distance, and behind the city wall was the same milky-white building.

Although the cities are all built with this kind of milky white stone, the style of the elves can still be seen everywhere. For example, almost all buildings have trees planted on top.

Ori and Ouyue feel that their eyes are not enough. This is a city of miracles that is difficult to even imagine, but countless magic circles have created such a city built on miracles, the Forest of All Souls.

"Can you see that?" Charlie patted their shoulders: "That's the Elf King's palace, the Ancestral Spirit Palace."

Of course Ori and Ou Yue saw it. It was impossible not to see it. It was the largest building in the entire city. Grandeur and magnificence are not enough to describe the huge palace.

The floating ball they were riding on slowly descended, and finally landed slowly on the edge of the city wall.

The door slowly opened, and Ori and Ouyue rushed out quickly. The two cute elves stood on the city wall, staring blankly at this majestic place.

Charlie also stepped out slowly. Less than five seconds after he came, the color of the floating ball slowly faded until it disappeared.

He straightened his robe and put on his hat.

Suddenly, his face became extremely unfamiliar. Even if an acquaintance appeared in front of him, he would not be able to recognize him.

"Charlie" Ori asked hesitantly.

"It's me. This robe has mental spell cognitive impairment." Charlie put his hand in front of his mouth: "Don't call my name in front of anyone. Now please call me Ta Tu."

"Oh, I see."

"Then call me once and let me hear it." Charlie felt that the child was still not very trustworthy, so he wanted to try it first.

"Chatham." Ouyue almost shouted the wrong one, but luckily she changed it in time.

Charlie gave a helpless smile: "Oh, maybe we should rush there quickly, otherwise my identity will be easily exposed."

Then he took a step back and spread his hands: "Then, welcome to the Forest of All Spirits, and wish you a happy life in this place where the spirits of the ancestors are entrusted. From today on, this is your home, then, Welcome home."
