"This way, please..."
In the jungle of the secret island of roina, Maka, Luna and Hermione are following the elf elder LAK slowly in a certain direction.
Speaking of this, Maka really didn't expect that none of the little tricks and tricks she had prepared could be used.
Originally, he wanted Luna and Hermione, two kind-hearted girls, to meet the elves together, while he secretly followed nearby to ensure their safety.
He believes that these elves, who have more blood and talent, may be as fond of pure girls as unicorns.
When negotiating, there is always a big gap between favors and dislikes. Plus Hermione's words are sometimes very persuasive, which should make things easier.
And he himself just needs to be around them when it's time to appear and be an honest translator.
Yes, it turned out that he was right.
But he also guessed wrong. Because he found that when the elves saw Luna and Hermione, they showed a more strange reaction.
In other words, it was like seeing rare creatures in the zoo, and they immediately gathered around with extraordinary enthusiasm.
Because of this, Marca, who was a little worried about Luna and Hermione, had to take the initiative to stand with them.
And then, the elf elder lark appeared.
"Oh, a girl loved by nature..."
When old lark said that, he looked at Luna, who Maka didn't intend to bring.
"Human girl, if you don't mind, can you come with me and say something in front of our ancestors? I believe our ancestors will be very happy..."
When Maka heard this, her heart suddenly jumped and wondered if there was still an old monster on the island? He even offered to go with him.
Fortunately, old lark didn't mean to stop him.
So the three of them followed Lao lac around the magic tower and walked into the dense jungle behind the tower.
The jungle on this secret island is still green, and the canopy is not as dense as the Hogwarts forbidden forest, so that the light can not be penetrated.
The rainy Mediterranean climate in winter makes all kinds of low evergreen shrubs here stretch their branches and leaves, mostly without bending their legs. The moss covered trunk shows a fresh green, which complements the bright flowers among the bushes.
Most of the trees and plants grown in this kind of climate secrete volatile oil, coupled with the fragrant flower fragrance, so that you can smell the strong fragrance filled with the nose when walking in the forest.
The bright sunshine penetrates and falls from the gap of the leaves, forming a beautiful light column with slight inclination.
To tell you the truth, the mellow natural flavor that Maka and her family can feel here can not be felt in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts.
After walking with old lac for a long time, after they bypassed several tree trunks, a clean and tidy small building appeared in front of them.
The building is not big. It can be seen that it was built for the use of the elf family. The highest place is a head higher than Maka.
But fortunately, this is not a building with internal space. Maka, they don't need to go into any place where they have to bend down to squeeze in.
To be exact, this is a shrine made of stone carvings.
Around the shrine, the ground paved with stone slabs has no sense of conflict in the forest open space. Delicate grass sticks out its head between the stone slabs, forming a harmonious picture between natural and unnatural creations.
"What's that?"
Beside Maka, Luna asked softly, pointing to the statue enshrined in the shrine.
"I'm not sure," Marca shook her head slightly, "but the top one looks like... A mountain fairy?"
As Maka said, there are three small but lifelike stone carvings in the shrine.
The higher statue is wearing a dress sewn with petals, with two pairs of thin wings, one large and one small, and a lovely wreath on its slightly puffed hair.
No matter how you look at it, it is very similar to the fairy family now.
At this time, the elf elder lark suddenly spoke.
"That's Philip, one of our ancestors' two good friends." Lacker said softly in his old voice, "she is intelligent, sensitive, fair, and clear between good and evil... The mountain fairy you said is her descendant."
With that, he pointed respectfully to another statue.
The statue looks most like a human on the outside, but the sharp ears on both sides of its head are quite different from humans. It is wearing a tight dress, with a pointed hat on its head, and the willow flute in its hand is on its mouth, just like blowing a refreshing song of the forest.
"... and that's Parker, another good friend of our ancestors." old Lake said, "he is brave, humorous, kind, and deeply loves the jungle and nature... He is the ancestor of the dwarf demon family."
"Sensitive and fair? Humorous and kind?" Maka compared these words with the fairy and the dwarf demon, and couldn't help shaking her head. "It's mostly a beautified version?"
As he was thinking, Lacker pointed more respectfully to the lowest statue, even lowering his head slightly.
Maka saw that the statue depicts a creature with long drooping ears and big eyes. I'm afraid there are only three points that are similar to the elves.
But different from the elves, the statue has neat clothes and hats, symmetrical limbs and handsome appearance. It holds a wine glass in one hand and a broom in the other. It grins as if it is singing. It looks smart and interesting.
"This is the ancestor of our elves. Lars is his taboo. He is hardworking, he likes to think, he is full of curiosity about everything, he is willing to act to protect weak creatures, and he is willing to sing loudly to make laughter... The most important thing is that he is loyal to the oath and agreement and will never break the agreement in his life."
Old lakton paused and seemed to be full of longing: "Lars, Parker and Ferri, they often sing, play music and dance in the forest, spreading vitality for the sake of beautiful nature!"
"Oh, you have a good ancestor," Marka agreed.
But in fact, he has just figured out one thing - whether the ancestors of the three races were really good friends or not, at least Maka thinks it is very possible.
Because in ancient times, the three races had a common hobby, that is, teasing human beings. As for now, the elves have become domestic elves, and there are only two of the three noisy races.
"So, what's the matter with you bringing Luna here?" Maka asked old lark when Luna and Hermione were just watching here strangely.
"Don't you know?" old Lacker looked at Luna leisurely and said calmly, "our ancestor Lars, like his two good friends, deeply loves the great nature. The human girl, her distance from the nature, is closer than other children..."
"And then?" Marca said inexplicably.
"Dear Lars, if you see her coming, you will be very happy." old lac repeated this sentence again, which made Maka instantly think of the horse people, because they all like to be mysterious.
Fortunately, however, the situation that Marca could not ask clearly in her imagination did not appear.
"... I think Lord Lars will bring down the miracle of life for the sake of this human girl." when he said this, old lac's eyes twinkled with longing.
Maka subconsciously looked at the statue in the shrine, but she was quite skeptical. Not to mention that he used to be an atheist, even if he was a wizard, he never had the habit of believing in any gods.
In the long history of witches, there are few religious believers. Even if there are, for example, druids, which were once popular in ancient times, only believe in various truths hidden in nature.
However, Lao lac's behavior of looking forward to miracles has obviously crossed the degree of spiritual sustenance of his ancestors and has embarked on the road of deifying his ancestors.
"However, we can't rule out that the ancestors of the elves did leave some magic."
Maka stood aside and felt a little towards the shrine and statue, but he didn't find any abnormal trace.
He put aside this somewhat mysterious thing and planned to rearrange his thinking and think about how to convince the elf elder in a moment.
First of all, he did not intend to use the means of the giant tribe again. Because although old lark also showed signs of believing in ancestral gods, he was not so crazy as giants, and these Elves were not stupid at all.
Secondly, these elves have a solid blood heritage and can vaguely detect whether the words are true or false, which is also difficult to fool.
Therefore, the breakthrough point may fall on today's unexpected figure - Luna.
But before Maka finished thinking, he suddenly felt that a strange magic wave suddenly shook and startled him.
This wave is not aggressive. On the contrary, as old lac said, it seems to be full of vitality and vitality.
But the source of the fluctuation can't be found at all, which makes Maka worried.
"Luna, Hermione, come to me -"
At the moment when the elf lac suddenly crawled on the ground, Maka hurried two steps and pulled Luna and Hermione to her side.
They couldn't feel the magic, so they didn't find anything abnormal around them.
