[Comprehensive] Jungle Epic

Chapter 13 The Eighth Tree

Every five days, Legolas would practice archery in the dense forest outside the palace.The little prince has an unparalleled talent in this area, but whether the talent can be fully transformed into ability depends on the acquired diligence.

Olivier, who took over the task of teaching Legolas, naturally wanted to take the little prince out. Legolas looked very excited. He put the small bow he made on his back, held Olivier's hand, and quickly Step outside.Olivier followed behind him with a smile, not paying any attention to the little prince's seemingly unreserved behavior.

When the gatekeepers saw them, they all lowered their heads, bowed to the two princes, and opened the gate.

"The weather is really nice today." Olivier looked at the sky and said with a smile.

Legolas couldn't see any difference. In fact, the giant green forest was shrouded in haze after a battle. There would be this layer of fog day and night here. The center of the dense forest relied on the magic of the elves to dispel some of the fog. , but the sky looked up from the dense forest is often unclear, the sun will always be covered by a layer of tulle, only to climb to the highest canopy to welcome the baptism of the sun.

The little prince looked casually, then looked at Olivier expectantly: "Where are we going today?"

"The sixth tree from here, I put a red berry there, did you see that?" Olivier knelt down and whispered in the little prince's ear.The little prince blinked, looked over, and then nodded. Olivier smiled and continued, "If you can shoot that berry, then I will take you to a good place."

The location from the entrance of the palace to the berry is neither far nor close. For the adult elves, this is not a difficult task, but for the young Legolas, it is a bit difficult.

The little prince took out an arrow from his back, put it on the bow, took a breath, and then raised his hand with a serious expression.Olivier stood up. He looked at Legolas' movements, which were very standard, and he basically didn't need to correct anything by himself.

Legolas let go of his hand after aiming, but unfortunately, the first arrow flew out of the berry because of too much force.

Olivier patted Legolas' head with a smile: "Very good."

"No, I didn't succeed." Legolas was dissatisfied. He didn't look unhappy, but continued to take out the arrow from the quiver behind his back and raised his hand again.

Olivier did not expect the little prince to be so persistent. After all, elves at this age are often impatient and don't like failure.But it seems that my younger brother is much better, this is a resilient child.Olivier smiled, said nothing more, stepped back half a step and looked at Legolas.

After four attempts, Legolas succeeded in shooting the berry, much to the delight of the little prince.A smile appeared on his apple-like face, he put the bow back on his back, trotted over, and picked up the berries pierced by the arrow from the soft grass.

"I did it, Olivier." Legolas held up the arrow for Olivier to see.

Olivier took it over with a smile and said, "Very good, Legolas, your progress is beyond my imagination. When I was your age, my accuracy was much worse than yours."

Legolas was not dazzled by this compliment, the little prince blinked: "But Ada said that what you like is prophecy, and Tauriel also said that your main task when you were a child was to help the jungle predict the weather."

This experience made Olivier laugh a little embarrassed.It was a magical day. Because Olivier had shown the talent of prophecy since he was a child, Thranduil consciously cultivated him, so he was given some tasks.But his nana—the queen of the jungle—didn't agree with this approach. The elves believed in fate, and sometimes knowing too much would bring disaster.

Eventually, Olivier's task became to predict the weather for the next day.

So every day when the sun goes down, you will see many elves standing at the gate of the palace. Their young princes are standing on the terrace, holding the crystals that must be used when prophesying, with a serious face, and they are working hard with their eyes closed. Drawing power and perception from nature, and exhausting all the energy of the body, finally, opened his eyes, and shouted with a childish voice: "It will rain tomorrow!"

Then the elves below would applaud, only one red-haired elf who was also young hid behind the door, his face turned red when he leaned against the wall and laughed.

Olivier felt ashamed when he thought of this experience, and this experience has been with him for more than 300 years. It didn't stop until he knew that the elves actually had special spells for forecasting the weather.

This is nothing at all, after all, that elf didn't have the experience of being fooled by an adult elf when he was a child?

But what Olivier didn't expect was that Sisi still remembered so clearly, and told her sister Tauriel, and let Legolas hear the news from Tauriel!

Olivier tried hard to make his expression not so bad, he pulled a smile: "Green leaves, the weather forecast is not as interesting as you think."

Legolas tilted his head, the braids twitching around his ears.

Olivier tried to make Legolas ignore the weather forecast, he hugged the little prince and said, "Let's go somewhere, you'll like it."

As expected, the young Legolas was changed from the topic, and he had a happy smile on his face: "Olivier, are there any good-looking big-horned deer there? I like big-horned deer very much, but ada said that big-horned deer can't just be with you I'm playing, can you take me to have a look?"

"The big-horned deer has his own tasks and is very busy." Olivier explained with a smile, "Since ada brought the big-horned deer with him, he has been a companion of ada. Similarly, when Legolas grows up , will also have his own companions."

"Brother, what is your companion?" The little prince stared at Olivier with his green eyes.

"A big horned deer." Olivier replied with a smile.

"Then my companion will be a big horned deer?" Legolas' eyes seemed to be shining brightly.

Olivier smiled, but didn't answer.

Because the future Legolas will not have such a companion, his adventure is no longer a war, but a legend.

It's just that Olivier won't say this. He can't see the future of the little prince clearly, and if Legolas knows now that he won't have his own big horned deer, I'm afraid he will be sad.The little brother will not make the younger brother unhappy, will he?

================================================== ========================

Olivier took Legolas to a lake. The lake was not big, and the edge could be seen at a glance, but it was very clear.

This place is near the outskirts of the dense forest, so under normal circumstances, young elves like Legolas are not allowed to come here.But since Olivier found out that Legolas liked the sea mentioned in the book last time, he wanted to bring Prince Green Leaf here.

But the result was just as he had imagined, Legolas liked it very much, the little prince took off his little leather boots without Olivier's help, rolled up his trouser legs, and stepped into the water by the lake.

Olivier hurriedly followed, and reached out to hold the little prince's shoulder to prevent him from accidentally slipping and getting himself wet.The little prince kicked the water with a smile, and looked at the fish swimming past in the water from time to time, reaching out his hands curiously to catch them.Olivier just watched with a smile, neither helping nor speaking.

At this moment, Olivier saw an elf guard looking at him behind a tree not far away, and bowed his head after realizing that Olivier's eyes were focused on his face.

Olivier nodded to him, and then he looked at the little prince and said with a smile, "Legolas, wait for me here, okay?"

The little prince nodded, wiped his feet obediently, put on his boots, picked up his bow, and prepared to continue practicing.

Having an obedient younger brother is really worry-free.Olivier turned around with a smile, and then quickly walked to the elf guard.The elf guard said in a low voice without delay: "Your Highness, His Majesty Elrond wants to see you."

Olivier frowned: "Did he say why he wanted to see me?"

"No."

Olivier didn't continue to ask, he glanced at Legolas, and said, "You protect Legolas here, and take him back when the sun rises to its highest point."

The elf guard nodded, and hid his figure in the shadow of the tree again.
