He followed the elves to the palace. The palace was a huge tree with a diameter of 500 meters and a height of about this much. The countless branches of the tree grew ingeniously into the shape of houses. Long Ao followed the elves in. As he walked, he couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of nature. After entering the palace, he realized that the palace was not only grand and majestic, but it also had a unique style of simplicity and elegance. Its doors, windows, stairs, guardrails, and other things were all made of natural growth of large trees. Coupled with its huge body, it had a dignified atmosphere.
He finally met the legendary Elven Empress. Even Long Ao couldn't help but feel amazed when he saw the Elven Empress for the first time. The Elven Queen's beauty was enough to overturn any beauty legend. Her exquisite facial features and slender figure were enough to make her look like a goddess. The rarest thing was the noble and otherworldly temperament that did not seem like a mortal at all. However, according to legends, the lifespan of elves was around 1000 years old. Who knew how old the queen was? She was probably an old woman.
"Young customer," the Elven Empress finally spoke,"you are the first human to step into the City of Elves in hundreds of years. I know that you have saved many of my subjects. I thank you here. Not only that, what's your purpose for coming here this time?”
Long Ao said calmly," Esteemed Elven Empress, my name is Long Ao. I'm the new lord of the Province of Derxas. I'm building a new city. I hope that after the city is built, you can come to our city to trade or open a shop. We can sell your daily necessities and everything else you need at a low price, and you can sell us your excess magic items. Also, in my territory, I guarantee that all living beings are equal. I forbid anyone from capturing aliens in my territory. If anyone is caught capturing aliens in my territory, no matter who it is, they will be killed without mercy. Your Majesty, do you think it's okay?"
" Your suggestion is very good," the Elven Empress nodded." But you also know the relationship between us and you humans, so you should know that this is impossible."”After a pause, the Elven Empress continued,""However, it's not like there's no way. As long as you can help us find something. As long as you find this thing, you can win the friendship of all elves and humans. As long as you can find that thing, not only will I agree to your conditions and send 10,000 high-level Elven warriors to you, they will fight for you until you die. Although we have a population of more than three million, taking out ten thousand Magic Shooters is already our maximum limit. I will also help you contact the dwarves. I believe that with the friendship between our two races, they will definitely agree to my request. They were not only the best blacksmiths on the continent, but also a group of excellent warriors. How do you think this is better than a deal?"
Long Ao knew that the more generous the rewards given by the Elven Empress, the harder the quest would be. However, he had no choice but to accept it if he wanted to gain the friendship of the elves. " Your Majesty," Long Ao asked," what do you want me to find? Where is it?"”
"We asked you to find the seeds of the Tree of Life. We don't know the location.”
"Ah, then how do you want me to find it? This continent is so big, I might not be able to find it even if I search for a few lifetimes. May I know why you need the Tree of Life? You should at least let me know the reason!”Long Ao said gloomily.
"Young man, you're not ordinary. I know that you have strength that is not inferior to mine! I believe that with your strength, you can definitely do it. Today, I'll make an exception and tell you why! The elemental spirits were as powerful as the dragons. However, some elemental spirits have to sign a contract with us elves before they can grow in our bodies. Therefore, we have always maintained contact with the elemental spirits. Every elf who has reached the level of a Grand Magister can sign a contract with an elemental spirit. This way, not only can the elemental spirits grow, but it can also greatly increase the strength of our elves. Elemental sprites were born in the Moon Well in the Holy Land of Elves. The Life Water in the Moon Well was brewed by the Tree of Life. It could continuously gather and produce magical elements. Under the effect of the Moon Well, high-concentration magical elements could give birth to life, giving birth to elemental sprites. Elemental sprites were born with the cultivation of High Mages. Ordinary elemental spirits were all single-element, and each one required a huge amount of energy to be produced. It would take a long time to replenish the energy. However, in general, the total energy of the Moon Well was still constantly accumulating. Every 5,000 years, the Moon Well would produce a magic spirit with all elements, which was the Elven Empress. The birth of the Elven Empress would consume 5,000 years of the Moon Well's savings. However, since 300 years ago, the Tree of Life had begun to wither for some unknown reason. The magical elements in the surroundings had also greatly decreased, and the Moon Well was about to dry up. It had been 300 years since an elemental spirit had been born. If this continued, the elemental spirits would soon go extinct.”
