dedicated to violets

The wind brought the rustling of the leaves, and Viri raised his head, only seeing a few afterimages.

The branches swayed and rustled. A few seconds later, Viri looked again and found several tall figures, male and female, standing on the thick branches.

The closest to them was a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes, fair skin and a wreath on her head, her features were more beautiful than flowers.She was wearing a long aqua blue dress, showing her slender calves, and the wind blew up her skirt, which looked pleasing to the eye.

Although she is beautiful, she has an amazing momentum.

Viri was about to draw his sword subconsciously, but immediately realized that this was Ymir's elf.

"Mason?" The female elf squinted her eyes, her eyes were sharp like a knife, and she looked down at the outsider, Viri, "How can you bring humans back to Ymir at will?"

Her voice is beautiful, clear and clear, like a cold mountain spring.

The surrounding male elves had bad eyesight, their arm muscles were tense, their bows and arrows were ready to go, and the arrows shone coldly. One could tell at a glance that it was extremely sharp and powerful.

The wind is whispering, and the magic power is quietly surging.

Goosebumps appeared on Viri's back, and his fighting instinct was urging him to pick up his sword, ready to fight anyone at any time.

Mason raised his hand and stood in front of Viri. He whispered, "Don't be impulsive, this is the guard of the elves."

He raised his head again and said loudly, "Wendini, don't be impulsive, he is Stoke's lover."

"Stoke's lover?" The female elf named Undine put down her bow and arrow, "There is no evidence to prove his identity, what evidence is there?"

Mason felt relieved, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Willie, "Give her your violin."

At this time, he could only be obedient. Without hesitation, the hand holding the piano case began to relax, and he took a few steps forward neatly.

"Stop there, don't go any further." Undine shouted, pointing the bow and arrow at Willi's chest.

The sharp killing intent followed, and Viri put the piano case on the grass in silence, then raised his hands and stepped back, showing that he had no malice.

With a wave of Wendini's hand, the stream gently rolled up the piano case and handed it to her.

The clear stream was like a silk ribbon, circling around her, and her nose was close to the piano box, sniffing for a while.

"It's Stoke, that's right." She threw the piano box back and nodded to the guarding male elves nearby. "Put away the bow and arrow, go back and inform the king, and prepare to welcome guests from afar."

The male elves put down their bows and arrows one after another, and disappeared into the tree in a blink of an eye.

The killing intent was gone, and the feeling of thorns on his back gradually disappeared.

Wendini put the bow and arrow behind her back and jumped down from the tree, her water-blue skirt spread out like petals.

Elves are a race favored by the gods. Both men and women have beautiful faces and tall figures.Mason is like this, and so is Wendini in front of him.

Wendini parted her long golden hair, her fair neck, and hugged Mason.

"Welcome back, Mason." Undine let go of Mason, "I'm glad to see you back."

"I'm also very happy." Mason smiled, "Has anything happened to Ymir recently?"

"It's nothing serious, okay, I'll talk about it later, what's your name?" Wendini suddenly looked at Wei Li, her green eyes were like sharp blades, not a calm lake.

"Willie Haydon."

Undine nodded: "Mr. Haydn, welcome to Ymir, I hope you can abide by all the rules of Ymir."

"I will," Willy promised.

He was very afraid of this female elf and didn't want to chat with him.

Maybe it's instinct at work, she is very strong, there is no doubt about it.

Wendini didn't say much, she turned around and left without saying a word.Mason strode to keep up, and waved at Viri: "Come on, there is a magic circle here, without elves leading the way, humans are very easy to get lost here."

Ymir is a peaceful and peaceful forest, full of vitality everywhere.

Wendini led the way, leaving only a water-blue figure, and the silk ribbon made of stream water was wrapped around her arm, which had an indescribable beauty.

Numerous vines hang down from the treetops, blocking the sunlight, and the soil under the feet is very soft, covered with various mosses and plants.As soon as he lowered his head, he could see earthworms loosening the soil.

Some squirrel or hare looked at them curiously.Willie resisted the idea of ​​looking around, and followed Undine intently, never looking around.

Mason walked in the grass with ease, turned his head and smiled, "Mr. Haydn, do you think this forest is familiar?"

"Yeah." Willie replied softly.

It's so familiar, whether it's sunlight, trees, even moss on tree trunks, mushrooms on dead wood, they all look so friendly.

"Elves and gnomes both lived in Fryer Forest in the past. Of course, we elves call it Ymir. Humans don't know our existence and think that Fryer Forest has always been so peaceful," Mason explained, "but There are exceptions, like your parents."

"My parents?" Viri was stunned. "Do they know elves?"

"Yes, no matter how you say it, your parents are both soldiers of the Greenland Empire, a magician and a warrior, and they are all outstanding in the army." Mason said, "After all, Stoke was entrusted to us by a friend. Of course, the elves must take good care of them. After you brought Ignas back, we visited your house and talked with your parents."

As soon as this sentence came out, the surprise on Viri's face could not be concealed at all.

"When did it happen?" He blurted out.

Mason said: "We have to ask our king."

After passing through a series of branches, they finally reached the settlement of the elves.There is a tree house hidden on the towering tree, and there is a hut made of white stones under the tree. Vines hang down from the tree house. Some mischievous young elves use the vines as swings and swing around on them.

The rich fragrance of grasses and trees rushed to the face, and Viri saw the tall temple surrounded by tall trees at a glance.

The appearance of the temple is the same as the abandoned temple in the Mist Forest, only smaller and more complete.

There are not many people in the elves. Now is the best time for the sun. They are all playing and resting outside, reading books, or basking in the sun, enjoying themselves.

Viri's appearance made the elves commotion.

"Is this Stoke's lover?"

"Boy Mason is back too."

"It looks very ordinary, and it's not very good-looking."

Viri can't help but laugh, the elves in front of them, regardless of gender, have beautiful faces, and they are all eye-catching when they are placed outside.Although Viri is handsome, compared with the elves, he is really not good enough.And Ignas' appearance is by no means inferior to that of the elves, even more outstanding.

Holding a longbow, Wendini ruthlessly blocked the curious kinsmen, and glanced around coldly, causing the elves to lower their heads: "Everyone spread out, go do your own business, what's the fun, the king wants to see him, Get out of the way."

The elves immediately scattered like birds and beasts, leaving a path leading directly to the temple.

Viri was beating drums in his heart. When he represented the empire and signed a non-interference agreement with the elves before, the location was set outside the forest of mist.They made a camp on the outskirts of the forest, and he stayed in the camp, waiting for the arrival of the elves.

He couldn't remember exactly what the people sent by the elves looked like, but he could still remember the admiration of the elf when he mentioned the elf king.

Viri sweated secretly, wondering if the elf king would get along well.

Facing the curious eyes of the elves, Viri walked all the way to the stairs, and the breeze blew to dissipate the heat on his body.Viri asked suddenly: "Isn't Ignas in the spring? Why didn't I see the spring water?"

Wendini: "You will see, go in by yourself."

Both she and Mason stopped, stood under the steps, and stopped moving forward.

Willie was under a lot of pressure, and it was about Ignas, so he had to be nervous.

"Thank you," he said.

He seemed to feel the breath of Ignace.It was an inexplicable, very mysterious feeling.He seemed to be able to see Ignace's soft eyes, purple with hidden light.Every time he was injured and passed out, he would have this feeling, Ignace watching him, right next to him.

He had the courage for a moment, so he carried his piano case and stepped up the steps.

"Mr. Haydn." Undine called to stop him.

Viri turned his head back, lowered his head slightly, and looked at the ice beauty in a long blue dress.Her eyes are still sharp like knives: "I hope you can get what you want."

"Thank you." Willie replied, stunned for a moment.

Mason still looked unhurried. He raised his head and said, "I think you need a partner to go in with you."

Viri's shoulders sank, and there was a fluffy touch on his cheek.He stretched out his hand and weighed the fur ball on his shoulder. It was quite heavy and felt very familiar.

As soon as he turned his head, he met a pair of golden eyes.

Snowy Owl's expression was still so funny, his eyes narrowed, as if he was secretly laughing.

Mason said: "It remembers you. Although it was its feathers that were with you before, it also has its consciousness attached, which is equivalent to its clone or another pair of eyes."

Willie stroked the snowy owl's feathers: "Does it have a name?"

"Then you have to ask it yourself."

"I see." After thanking Mason, Willie said to Snowy Owl, "Then let's go."

The snowy owl flapped its other wing.Viri got along with it for a while, and knew that it was encouraging him.

He finally smiled relaxedly, and with the white balls on his shoulders, he walked easily into this temple-like building.

There are no murals or stone carvings, only a huge tree, supporting a high dome, with raised roots that almost occupy the entire floor.

Viri froze in place, struck by the tree's grandeur.

When he raised his head, he could barely see the canopy of the tree, only the slight sound of water droplets could be heard.

As for the Elf King, he was nowhere to be seen.

"Willy Haydon." He heard a female voice above his head, hoarse and old.

Viri said, "It's me. Are you the king of elves?"

"I am the Elf King." The female voice was still smiling, and it didn't sound like a king should have the momentum, but more like a kind old woman, "Are you here to find Stoke? "

"Yes."

"Take the staff in your hand and turn around the tree in front of you three times from the left and then three times from the right. You must not stop in the middle. At that time, you will see a spring. At that time, you will I can see you."

Willie did as he said, and the violin in the violin case hummed happily.

He circled the tree a total of six times before stopping at the starting point.

The sound of the spring water ticking became louder, and he really saw a clear spring spreading from under the tree roots.The leaves fell, and the water came up, covering the roots and his ankles.

At the highest point of the tree root, a graceful figure appeared.

She has white hair, wears a delicate crown, her face is still beautiful, and she is shrouded in light all over her body. If she doesn't speak, she looks only seventeen or eighteen years old, just like a young girl.Wei Li saw her eyes, tolerant and vicissitudes, which are the unique eyes of the old man.

"I finally see you, Viri." The Elven King said kindly.

Viri touched his chest and bowed his head in salute, then he raised his head and said rudely: "I thought you would be a man."

"Many people think so," the Elf King tapped the water with his toes, "but you are the second person to ask so bluntly."

Willie replied subconsciously: "The first one is the fallen bishop?"

"No, it's not him." The Elf King shook his head, his movements were very delicate, with a strange sense of disobedience, "but he looks exactly like him, and he is also a straightforward person."

Willie fell silent.

"These waters are sweet springs. Mason should have told you that after the death of the giant Ymir, the blood turned into a flood and flooded the world." The Elf King said lightly, "Both elves and dwarves were born on his body, and his blood And full of life force."

Viri listened quietly, not in a hurry to ask about Ignas' whereabouts.

The Elf King stroked the tough and rough roots under his palm: "Do you know Ragnarok?"

"I know."

"The poisonous dragon bit off the root of the world tree, and the gods of Asgard ushered in their dusk. Ymir's blood turned into a spring, which fed the new world tree. Such a strong life force may also be able to Raise the dead."

"It's impossible," Willie said.

"How is it impossible?" the Elf Queen asked back.

"It is impossible for anyone to come back from the dead, not even a god." Viri said this truth that exists in everyone's heart, "If they can be resurrected, then why didn't the gods who died in battle come back after Ragnarok? ?”

The elf queen laughed: "Since you think so, why are you still looking for Ignas? He is a dead man, and it is meaningless for you to find him."

"Even if it's a corpse, I'll keep him with me."
