But at this moment, looking at Xiangxiang's averted face in the distance, and looking at the half-smiling eyes of the elf elder in front of him, he couldn't help but blush.
"This is the first time in my life that I have heard a human claim that he is the son of the Holy Spirit of the elves," the elf elder said leisurely, with half-bent eyes, "Can you tell me, what is going on?"
'This.' Roy hesitated.
He glanced at Gong Ling and found that she was looking at him with a smile, as if she was laughing.
Roy passed on: "You're kidding, right? I don't care if you do this."
‘How dare you!’ Gong Ling glared and saw that Roy’s expression was not good, so he couldn’t help but laugh again, “Okay, okay, I’ll explain it to her.”
‘Can you talk to her?’ Roy was stunned.
"We elves are not as troublesome as the dwarves," Bow Ling looked at the elf elder and said, "I may not be able to do it with other elves, but since this little guy is the elder of the temple, he must have mastered the secret method of our elf temple. I can give it a try."
'Little guy...' Roy had a dark look on his face.
Although he knew clearly that Bow Ling was from more than three hundred years ago, he didn't hesitate to call this elf elder a little guy.
However, looking at Bow Ling's appearance, which was much younger than the elf elders, Roy still had a very strange feeling.
‘Tell her,’ Gong Ling said, “Let her use Spiritual Prayer.”
Lingqi? Roy was startled and then understood.
The so-called spiritual prayer is actually the communication method between the elves and the tree of life they are attached to. It is a secret method that only the elf queen and the temple elders master.
Bow Spirit is obviously able to communicate directly with her in this way.
Roy asked the elf elder: "Can you pray in spirit?"
The elf elder who was waiting for the answer did not expect Roy to ask such an irrelevant question. He frowned and said, "Of course."
"Just perform a spiritual prayer," Roy said, "and you will understand."
"Lingqi. Now?" the elf elder said in surprise, looking around, "Are you sure?"
It is not difficult for this elf elder to perform spiritual prayer. However, the object of spiritual prayer can only be the tree of life. In addition to the will of the tree of life, the person who performs spiritual prayer will not hear anything else.
sound.
The elf elders didn't understand what effect spiritual prayer could have in Munich, a city where there was no Tree of Life at all.
'Yes.' Roy nodded, 'I'm sure.'
The elf elder looked at Roy deeply, remained silent for a moment, and softly uttered a series of mysterious mantras.
I saw a ray of pure white light, centered on her, spreading in all directions, and in her eyes, there were thousands of changing scenes.
After a moment, she tapped her finger between her eyebrows. A thriving natural aura shot straight into the sky.
At the same time, the bow spirit flashed and merged with Roy. As an older and mysterious mantra emerged in Roy's mind, the same natural aura appeared on Roy's body.
These two breaths rose and became more and more solid. Finally, they turned into two green vines emerging from their bodies.
And the next second, the vines seemed to be attracted to each other and entangled together.
‘Lingqi!’ When the elves in the distance saw this scene, they were extremely shocked.
They have seen Lingqi a lot, but they have never seen Lingqi performed without the Tree of Life.
What’s even more incredible is that the natural aura that appears on the black-haired boy is even richer and purer than that of the elf elder. It feels as if he is a human-shaped tree of life at this moment!
The most shocked person was naturally the elf elder who was among them.
The moment the vines with floating spiritual light came into contact, countless information and pictures poured into her sea of consciousness in an instant, making her understand everything in an instant.
Excitement, shock, joy... With the infusion of information, the expressions of the elf elders changed, with mixed feelings.
Until the end of the spiritual prayer, the vines transformed by the power of nature separated and dissipated. She was still immersed in the scene she had seen for a long time, unable to extricate herself.
It took a long time for the elf elder to come back to her senses. At this time, the way she looked at Roy had completely changed.
‘Dear Lord Holy Son!’
The elf elders no longer had any doubts about Roy's identity.
She bent down, lowered her pointed ears, and said in the most respectful manner: "Xiangli swears on behalf of all the elves in the Moonlight Lakeside City of Xiang Temple that we will follow the guidance of our ancestors, follow your footsteps, and obey your instructions."
Seeing the elf elder's eyes flashing with joy and hope, Roy had a headache.
The Bow Spirit communicates with the Elf Elders through him. Therefore, no one knows better than him what information the Bow Spirit conveys.
In the message, Bow Ling not only confirmed her identity as the son of the Holy Spirit, but also asked the elves to follow her footsteps according to the guidance of her ancestor.
"That's nice to say!" Roy cursed in his heart, "Aren't you just like the Ax Spirit, treating me as a free long-term employee!"
At this moment, Roy had only one thought left in his mind.
‘It’s better not to awaken the shield spirit!’
He really couldn't imagine how dark his life would be if he was with a bunch of dwarfs who were full of lies.
Now that his identity was confirmed, Elder Xiangli no longer had any concerns about Roy.
In the watery moonlight, she Tingting stood under the umbrella-like canopy of the banyan tree, explaining to Roy why she found him, and introduced the origin and situation of this elf tribe.
Just as Roy expected, the reason why Xiang Li appeared here was because a temple guard named Xiang Ling saw him performing Cloud Stance when passing by the civilian area.
Almost as soon as he received the news, Xiangli led his people and rushed here.
But they were still a step late. When they arrived, Roy had already left. Fortunately, Xiangling had been following Roy and knew that he had entered the dwarf's house.
However, the elves would rather wait outside than go into the small white building to find Roy.
Among the major races in the continent of Avalon, elves and dwarves are perhaps the two most incompatible races.
From the appearance point of view, the coming together of tall and slim elves and round and short dwarves is full of a sense of humor that makes people laugh. And the personalities and traditions of the two races are even more different.
In the eyes of the elves, dwarves are rude and reckless, and their fiery temper and unkempt appearance are simply unbearable.
In the eyes of dwarves, elves are just a bunch of pretentious idiots. All elegance and art are bullshit.
They are arrogant and boring, and they don't even drink!
A thousand of these guys are not as cute as a good piece of ore.
Therefore, even in the final battle, dwarves and elves rarely cooperate directly. After arriving in the Land of Redemption, the settlements of the two races are far apart. They have never interacted with each other.
In this way, it wasn't until Roy and Tie Laoer said goodbye that the elves followed up and tried to test him.
As for the origin of the Xiangli elf tribe, just as Roy guessed, it is a branch of the Xiang Temple.
They live by the Moonlight Lake in the mountains southeast of Lulian. There are more than 2,300 people, including more than 400 butterfly elf warriors. They are the largest of the four elf tribes in Lulian.
Because Xiangxiang, the daughter of the Holy Spirit, was born in the Moonlight Tribe. Therefore, in the past ten years, the Moonlight Tribe has become the leader of the southern group of elves.
During the crisis of demons invading the Land of Redemption, many elven tribes in the south sent people to Moonlight City to discuss countermeasures and seek guidance. The final result was that Xiang Li, one of the three elders, led
Nearly a hundred elves came to Munich City.
There are two purposes for their trip.
The first is procurement to cope with the increasingly serious survival crisis.
The second is to pave the way for cooperation between the elves and humans. Explore a path of cooperation acceptable to both parties and lay the foundation for joint resistance to the demons.
The food problem of elves is not as serious as that of dwarves. Their consumption is not as great as that of dwarves, and they eat less. In addition, as children of the forest, they can find far more food and its substitutes in the jungle than other races.
Coupled with the existence of the Tree of Life, elves can be self-sufficient even if they do not rely on humans.
However, in addition to food, the elves also need many other items.
For example, weapons and equipment, elixirs for improving cultivation and restoring physical strength, magic pattern products, magic scrolls and other consumables.
These things are now also blocked by the human world.
Moreover, this blockade is not caused by a combination of certain aristocratic families, nor is it because people are unwilling to sell to the elves, but because the prices of these things have risen due to the shortage of supply to a level that is unbearable for the elves.
Elves are free and lazy by nature.
They like art and live a leisurely life, but their financial resources are far inferior to those of the dwarves.
This makes their current situation even more embarrassing than that of the dwarves. Many of the elf warriors who transformed into butterflies do not even have a set of suitable armor and weapons when they are preparing to embark on the battlefield to fight against the demons.
When Xiangli said this, Roy turned his head and looked.
Among the elf warriors who followed Xiang Li, except for Xiang Xiang, who had a magic pattern armor, most of the other warriors were wearing the most ordinary leather armor.
Some elf warriors even only wore the green vine armor produced by the elves.
Such equipment may be enough to drive away evil beasts or deter goblins in Lakeside City. However, when faced with a war, it is no different than being unarmed.
Moreover, because the fighting style of elves mostly relies on agility and speed, the requirements for armor are particularly high.
For a set of armor with the same defensive power, the weight required by the elves is one-third that of a human knight and one-fifth that of a dwarf, and the cost is more than ten times higher!
It is precisely because of this that when Elder Xiangli led his team to Munich this time, they also encountered difficulties from several wealthy human families.
Ordinary human armors are not suitable for them at all. As soon as they hear about custom-made armor weapons for elves, those weapons dealers immediately open their mouths and quote an unbelievable price.
And just when Elder Xiangli was at a loss what to do, unexpectedly, he met Roy.
After hearing these words, Roy knew that he had one more burden on his shoulders.
Thinking that there was no way he could escape with the bow spirit watching, so he simply nodded and agreed to help find a way.
After all this fuss, it was almost late at night.
After getting a whistle made of the tree of life given by Elder Xiangli to call and communicate with each other, Roy said goodbye and left, heading to the Golden Skull Auction House.
Looking at Roy's retreating back, Xiangxiang and others walked to Xiangli's side.
"Elder," Xiangxiang asked, "did you just..."
Under everyone's gaze, Elder Xiangli let out a long breath and asked, "Do you remember the legend of our elves about the guidance of our ancestors?"
The elves looked at each other and nodded.
According to legend, when the elves encounter a major disaster, when the elven elders perform spiritual prayers, they may not be communicating with the tree of life, but with a certain ancestor who stands in the long river of history and is paying attention to the fate of the elves.
.
Only by following the guidance of their ancestors can the elves overcome disasters and achieve Nirvana and be reborn.
This kind of miracle is said to have appeared four times in the history of the elves. The most recent one was already a thousand years ago.
It has been so long that the elves are not sure whether this is true or just a legend.
An elf girl said in surprise: "Elder, are you saying that the spiritual prayer you performed just now was guided by the ancestors?!"
"That's right!" Elder Xiangli nodded.
Amid the exclamations, she slowly said, "The ancestors have confirmed that he is our Holy Son and the designated guide."
"Him?" Xiangxiang said in disbelief, "But his strength is not even as good as mine. Moreover, he is just an ordinary human mercenary. Even if he has obtained the inheritance of our elves, then...
....."
"You think he doesn't have the power to help us get through the current predicament, do you?" Elder Xiangli looked at Xiangxiang lovingly.
Xiangxiang hesitated but nodded.
She could never understand how the ancestors could appoint such an ordinary mercenary with only the strength of a just knight to be the guide for the elves. What was even more ridiculous was... he was actually the son of the Holy Spirit.
"The ancestors told me that Leo is just his pseudonym, and you should all have heard of his true identity during your time in Munich." Elder Xiangli said.
The elves looked at each other.
Everyone has not been in Munich for a long time, and they don’t have much contact with human beings.
It’s not surprising that everyone knows the name of a genius like Xiangxiang among elves, even if he is from the northern tribe. But if you want to talk about a human’s name, everyone knows it...
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Elder Xiangli say: "His real name is Roy!"
"Is it him?!"
As soon as Elder Xiangli finished speaking, the elves were already exclaiming.

Well, please explain the interruption. The reason is that a big editor came to Chengdu and stayed with me for three days.
I originally wanted to ask for leave, but I found that even if I deleted the chapter I asked for leave on my computer, it would still exist in the chapter list for reading on my mobile phone. When I read two chapters, something like this appears, which really affects my reading experience and mood.
So, it’s explained here.
