Weird Wizarding World

   Chapter 241 Traces

   "Nasi, go."

   After standing up, Colin shouted at the elf lying on the sacrificial stone platform without hesitation.

   "What a giant..." Naxi rubbed her eyes and sat up. She looked at Colin who was about to leave, and she reacted. She couldn't help but ask one more question, "Are you really going to the mountains?"

   "Well." Colin nodded, his face calm.

   I don't know if it's an illusion. He always feels that the current Naxi is stronger than when he saw it before, and even the red hair and wings are more shiny.

  'I don't know if it's because I returned to the elf kingdom, or because I have been staying on the sacrificial stone platform for the past two days... Well, it may also be because of the heart of the ancient tree...' Colin speculated silently.

   "Okay..." Naxi looked at Colin's expression, glanced at the sacrifice stone platform again, hesitated and said, "Then Xiao Naxi also go with the good giant."

After   , she flapped her emerald-like red crystal wings and flew towards the top of Colin's head with ease.

When    came closer, Naxi suddenly changed direction again.

   "Good giant, can Naxi stay here?"

   she asked, pointing to the hood on Colin's back.

   "Hmm." Colin nodded his head.

   "Okay!" Nancy quickly dropped into the gray hood happily when she heard Colin's words.

   Her weight is extremely light, and Colin hardly felt the increase in the weight of the hood. He paused, turned and walked out of the tree hole.

  簌簌—

  The sound of rustling came from the hood, Colin's ears moved slightly, and he subconsciously poked his mental power back.

  ‘Nasi is… making a cot for herself? ’

The picture of   's mental power feedback surprised him a little.

I saw that Naxi suddenly took out a few seeds from somewhere, and a pale green radiance was born from her small palm. Those seeds sprouted and rose in the wind, quickly forming a small bed... or sitting in a basket. appearance.

Tiny vines pass through the gap where the hood of the shaman's robe and the shaman's robe are connected, and this small bed with a sidebar is firmly fixed in it, and soft moss-like plants are spread on the small bed, with a tender green appearance. At a glance, you can tell that it will be very comfortable to lie on.

   But that’s not the point…

   Colin frowned inwardly as he looked at the elf's appearance.

   It's not because of the little bed she made... The little bed will neither affect his movement nor safety, he doesn't care.

   It's just that Naxi, a red elf, is more like a grass elf at this moment.

  Red grass elf... Colin was a little puzzled.

   However, looking at the green forest in front of him, but now it has turned dark red, he felt normal in his heart.

  Nasi, I am afraid that it was originally green, but it was only later affected by the mysterious pollution of the different space here, and it turned into the bright red color it is now.

   Then think of the distant mountain, that mountain that has not been completely polluted and still has a trace of greenness.

   Colin's heart suddenly sank slightly.

  If the depth of the color, and whether it is completely dyed red, represents the depth of pollution, then the original light green plant spirit has now completely turned into bright red…

  Nasi I'm afraid... the pollution has gone deep.

   "No... not right!" Colin shook his head again. Although Naxi's memory was a little confusing and vague, other than that, there was no other abnormality... far less polluted than the color indicated.

  Thinking for a moment, but no result came, Colin buried such thoughts in his heart, ready to leave.

   But the next moment, as if thinking of something, he looked back at the ancient sacrificial tree behind him, and his figure stopped for a moment.

   "Good giant, little Nancy is ready, why don't you go!"

  Nasi stood up from the self-made crib and asked eagerly.

   She can't wait to try out how she made her own crib to lie down on the fly!

   The small bed is extremely delicate and the size is tailor-made. At this moment, she stands up, and the fence beside the bed is just up to her chest, which is convenient for her to hold her steady.

   But from the outside, you can't see the little bed, you can only see Naxi's little head suddenly popping out.

   "Little Nancy, have you finished eating the sugar and gems I gave you yesterday?" Colin looked at the ancient sacrificial tree in front of him, looked down at his pocket watch, and suddenly asked.

   "Well... I've finished eating!" Naxi paused, replied calmly, and touched her chest subconsciously.

  There, there is an extremely delicate pendant, which is her treasure chest!

   With mental vision, Colin didn't look back, he smiled dumbly, and he didn't expose Naxi's lies.

  Perhaps it's her nature, or maybe it's a result of her life experience. Naxi, like a hamster, likes to store things and is very economical.

The heart of the ancient tree that he first gave to Naxi, if it wasn't for this time when he kept asking Naxi to try to open the door and go out, he had to use it to replenish the consumption, otherwise Naxi would still be stored in her possession by Naxi. in the treasure chest.

   "Good giant, little Nancy listens to you obediently and eats sugar gems whenever she's hungry."

   Seeing that he was silent, Naxi added quickly.

   "Well, I know." Colin nodded slightly.

   Although Naxi secretly stored the heart of the ancient tree, she still kept in mind what he said.

   pat.

   Colin put away his pocket watch and walked towards the trees next to him.

   He almost forgot... Before leaving, he also had to prepare some hearts of ancient trees, just in case, after all, ancient trees may not be found in other places, and even trees may not be found.

   stepped forward and displayed the heart of an ancient tree against a circle of taller ancient trees around the ancient sacrificial tree.

   Soon, nine hearts of ancient trees appeared in Colin's hands.

   The hearts of these ancient trees are pale red, with a hint of green in the center, and they are much larger than the hearts of ancient trees obtained before.

   'These trees with tree holes are really not extraordinary... They have survived, and they can even bear the hearts of ancient trees of such quality. ’

   Looking at the hearts of the ancient trees neatly arranged in his hands, Colin couldn't help but marvel.

   "Are these all for me, what a giant?" Little Naxi stared at the heart of the ancient tree in his palm, the anticipation in her eyes almost turned into reality, and finally couldn't help asking.

   "Not necessarily." Colin closed his palms, and when he opened them again, most of the hearts of the ancient trees had been put into the storage ring by him, and only the smallest one remained.

   He handed the heart of the ancient tree to Naxi, and said at the same time: "This one is a reward for those who are willing to go to the mountains with me. When you are hungry or behave well, I will give you the rest."

   "Hmmmm!" The elf who took the heart of the ancient tree nodded again and again, and was stunned by the sudden happiness, but she still heard what Colin said.

   After the excitement passed, her small eyes rolled, and she suddenly flew out of the delicate little bed, came to Colin diligently, and asked:

   "Good giant, are you tired or thirsty?"

   "No." Colin shook his head.

   At this moment, he came to the tallest and majestic ancient tree in the tree hole forest—the ancient sacrificial tree.

   raised his head and looked at this tall ancient tree, which was extraordinary at first glance, and Colin suddenly had a new doubt.

  For tree elves, trees are not only homes, but also relatives and friends.

  Even if it is relocation, it should take the trees along with them - the tree spirits can make the trees grow back, become seeds again, and then follow them to new places to take root and sprout.

  If the tree is left in place, and there is no tree spirit around, then it will lose its extraordinary qualities and fade into ordinary trees, and at worst it will gradually wither and die.

   But looking back at the pictures I saw in the air before, in terms of density, this huge forest of tree holes... or in other words, the entire dark red forest is still here, and it seems that not a single tree has been taken away.

The    tree elves have already left, and although they don't know where they went, there is a high probability that they will not come back based on the situation here... But their trees are still here.

  'Is it because the evacuation was too hasty...or because the trees were polluted and could not be taken away? ’

  Colin silently speculated that he was more inclined towards the latter.

   After all, whether it is a sacrificial tree hole, or the rest of the tree holes in the surrounding circle, it is empty, and almost everything has been taken away.

  'But...why haven't the trees here gradually faded or died, as recorded in the data? ’

  Colin couldn't help frowning again.

  ‘Could it be that there is still a elf here—Nasi? ’

   Colin's heart moved, and he turned his head and glanced at the elf Nasi who was thinking hard.

  If Naxi is really a grass elf, then strictly speaking, it is also a kind of tree elf.

  The nine great elves are just the main line of elves, and there are many elves that have no names or are not recognized.

  Elves may be born in any place. As a special kind of elves, there are as many races as stars.

   Few of them are really recognized by the elves, and generally speaking, most of them are not of high status.

   However, the plant elves are one of the types recognized by the tree elves... and their status is relatively high.

  'So...that makes sense. ' Colin nodded secretly.

  As long as there are tree spirits, the trees will be there... I am afraid that this forest exists because of the little spirit Nasi!

  Colin looked at Naxi, then at the ancient sacrificial tree in front of him, hesitated, and put his palm on it.

   Then he thought about it and used the heart of an ancient tree to it.

  ‘It can be regarded as waste utilization. ' he thought to himself.

   Today, ancient sacrificial trees cannot survive for long under inexplicable pollution.

   It is better to leave an ancient tree heart. On the one hand, it is reserved for future research, but on the other hand, it is also prepared for the elves, and an extra layer of insurance is added.

  Thinking about the heart of an ancient tree that came from sacrificing an ancient tree, Naxi basically won't have the chance to starve.

  If you encounter a situation where a lot of energy is required to open the door later, you probably don’t have to worry about energy replenishment.

   Gently exhaled a turbid breath, and Colin looked at the palm of his hand. At this moment, the Heart of the Ancient Tree witchcraft had come to an end.

   There, a faint green light appeared.

   After a while, the heart of an ancient tree almost the size of an adult fist slowly took shape.

Different from the hearts of ancient trees obtained from other trees before, the red on this heart of ancient trees is very thin, like a layer of mist covering it, which can no longer hide the original green color of the hearts of ancient trees inside. .

   "Guru." Naxi swallowed saliva obviously, and asked tentatively, "Good giant, is this sugar gem also for me?"

   "Not necessarily." Colin put away the heart of the ancient tree with his backhand and smiled.

   "Let's go."

   He did not look at the ancient sacrificial tree behind him, but rose up from the ground and quickly flew towards the edge of the grassland in the distance.

   An hour later.

   The edge of the dark red glass forest.

  hoo~

  The whitish cold wind passed through the gaps in the branches,

   pat.

   Water droplets condensed, fell from the tip of the branch, fell to the ground and shattered.

   A grey-robed figure flew past, and then gradually slowed down.

  Colin felt the sudden drop in the temperature around him, and his heart froze, raising his vigilance.

  On the only way to go to the grassland, he first needs to pass through an ice field, and then he needs to pass through a dry lake that is close to everything before he can officially enter the category of grassland.

   After realizing the connection between the elf Naxi and the dark red forest, he believed that Naxi once said that the forest was safe, so he relaxed a little.

   Even in order to avoid the target being too conspicuous, he did not choose to keep flying in mid-air, but shuttled through the forest.

   There are enough gaps between these trees for him to pass through, and with the assistance of the super brain, the speed will not be reduced.

   And along the way, he almost crossed half of the forest, which indeed proved the reliability of the elf's words.

   But at the same time, another sentence of the elf became more real—

  Beyond the forest, there is danger!

  Colin restrained his thoughts and continued to fly.

  The icy wind howled like a knife... As we continued on, the temperature in the air became lower and lower.

   Those water droplets that could still drip, now gradually turned into clusters of sharp ice edges with cold air.

   After a while, through the dark red glass branches, a touch of hard red appeared in Colin's eyes.

  ‘This is the ice field that was also dyed red…’

   After observing through the branches for a while, I didn’t find the slightest abnormality.

   Colin let out a sigh of turbidity, and increased the strength of the steel temperature resistance field on his body to the maximum, and the gray-black elf armor also flickered with dim light.

   At the same time, the flames around Colin's body gradually extinguished - he carefully replaced the flame soaring technique on his body with the more flexible flying technique.

   Then, he no longer hesitated.

   He didn't speed up, and he didn't slow down too much. He maintained the most flexible speed and charged towards the ice field in front of him.

   Susu!

  The wind blows some fragile ice edges,

   The next moment, Colin emerged from the dark red forest.

   The light red snowflakes that were falling slowly were disturbed by the sudden intruder, and they flew in all directions.

   Colin glanced for a week.

   There is no danger, there is no abnormality... The ice field is even more lonely than the dead dark red forest, except for the wind, there is almost no other sound.

   "What a giant." Naxi stuck her head out of her hood, stared at the somewhat unfamiliar scene in front of her, and cried out uneasily.

   "Don't worry." Colin comforted Naxi, slightly raised the flying height, and continued to fly forward.

   After half an hour, no danger was found.

   Now the snow has stopped and the view is wide open.

  Compared with the forest covered with trees, the dark red ice field is like a mirror that can be seen clearly at a glance.

  'Desolate, lifeless...'

   After another half an hour, there was still no danger.

  Colin switched from Flying Soaring to Light Soaring and moved on.

  In this way, for most of the day, Colin has come to the junction of the edge of the ice sheet and the multi-lake area, but he has not encountered any danger.

  ‘However, the absence of danger is naturally a good thing. ’

   Colin's eyes flickered, without stopping, he continued to fly cautiously towards the grassland.

   In the past, when the lakes were not dry, this place must have been beautiful.

   But now the clear lake water has receded, leaving only the bare lake bed and the corpses of some fish and birds, and it is also stained with a strange dark red, which is really not a beauty.

   The next journey in the multi-lake area was also smooth.

  There are no monsters, no strange events, only the dark red color that keeps repeating.

   "What a giant... Little Nancy may have misremembered, it turns out that it's just as safe outside!"

   On the edge of the grassland, at the position indicated by Anando's dice, Colin slowly landed.

   The elf Nassi stuck his head out from his hood, stepping on the cot.

   She looked at the sight she had never seen before, her expression a little excited, like a child going out on a picnic.

   But Colin, who was beside him, didn't answer her, instead he frowned and stared at an inconspicuous thing not far away.

   That is a petal.

   A piece of white, but at this moment, it is half-dipped with dark red petals!
