Chapter 211 Disease of the Eternal Tree

"Olivia..."

Hearing this, Harold couldn't help but open his mouth wide and froze in place, looking as if he had been struck by lightning. The key in his hand almost fell to the ground.

know?

Seeing Harold's reaction, Ryan's eyes brightened slightly, and he was about to speak, but Harold suddenly stepped forward and approached Ryan, blushing and said:

"She...where is she? Mr. Lane, please tell me where she is! I will definitely repay you!"

Hearing this, Ryan smiled bitterly: "I don't know, actually... I just wanted to ask you if you have any clues about her."

Harold's body visibly stiffened, then he took two steps back and sighed, "That's right..."

At this time, Windsor whispered: "Grandpa, actually I just wanted to tell you that Mr. Lane is the man who summoned the Fire Phoenix in Alcott..."

Harold smiled and nodded: "After all, the relationship with her is so close, it is normal to know that level of magic."

Seeing that Harold seemed to be very familiar with his cheap master, Ryan couldn't help but ask: "Alice...who is she?"

"She didn't tell you?"

Harold was slightly surprised: "She asked you to call her by her first name, but she still hasn't told you her identity."

Ryan shrugged.

"Hey!"

Harold sighed: "I said that as a great elder, I am currently serving as the clan leader temporarily because the clan leader of our settlement left in order to find a way to heal the branches of our Eternal Tree, and then he left. Never came back.”

"The patriarch who left is Alice?"

Ryan spoke.

Harold nodded.

After getting the answer, Ryan's expression was very dull. How should I put it, although he knew her true identity, Ryan was not surprised at all.

By the way, so, she and the old man with the white beard in front of her are actually of the same generation, maybe even the elder of the old man with the white beard?

Ryan shook his head and remembered the other information Harold had just said. He frowned at Harold and asked, "By the way, you just said that there was a problem with the branches of the Eternal Tree?"

"Didn't she tell you this...?"

Harold looked bitter: "It seems that she no longer cares about this settlement."

During the conversation, Harold stopped in front of a large tree house and said:

"Dear guests, you can stay here in the next few days. This tree house is specially used to entertain guests. It has been carefully cleaned inside. You can live in it with peace of mind."

"Thank you."

After thanking Harold, Ryan and his group entered the tree house.

The decorations in the tree house are mainly unprocessed natural wood from the elves, but the specific layout is not much different from that of a normal house, and the space is not small, enough for Ryan and his party to live in.

As soon as he entered the tree house, Ryan smelled a very fresh aroma of grass and trees, and his love for this place improved to another level.

Seeing that Ryan and Harold still had something to talk about, Ivy took Yazhi and a few little lolita to visit the tree house and arrange rooms, leaving Ryan and Harold alone in the tree house living room.

Ryan and Harold sat down at a wooden table in the living room. They saw Harold stroking his beard. After sorting out his emotions, he said to Ryan:

"Fifty years ago, the eternal branches here suddenly became diseased, and there were signs of withering everywhere. The elves of our lineage tried their best, but they could not stop the lesions of the eternal branches.

You must know that the eternal branches are the lifeblood of our lineage of elves. Once the eternal branches wither, all the elves of our lineage will die at the end of their lives because they lose the blessing of the eternal branches..."

Having said this, Harold's palms trembled slightly: "In recent years, we, the older generation of elves, have begun to clearly sense that our magic power has shown signs of weakening.

Fifty years ago, when our clan leader Olivia learned that our current methods were completely unable to save the Eternal Branch, she resolutely left the settlement alone and set out to find a way to save the Eternal Branch. "

Listening to Harold's description, and thinking of the lazy elf who often lay naked and read, Ryan couldn't help but rub his nose.

The person Harold was talking about and the person I knew...shouldn't be the same person, right?

At this time, Harold's eyes were slightly gloomy: "With this departure, she has been gone for fifty years. During these fifty years of disappearance, even though we have used various methods, the lesions on the eternal branches are still not there. has been contained, now we have been pinning our hopes on her, but she..."

"She doesn't want to come back now. Maybe she has her own reasons?"

Ryan comforted: "Don't worry, based on my understanding of her, she probably won't let you go."

"...I hope so."

Harold sighed again, and then talked about other topics:

"Mr. Lane, in the next few days, I hope you can visit our place more and communicate more with those children, especially Ivy and the others."

When Harold mentioned the first part, Ryan was still nodding, but when Harold mentioned the second part, Ryan's nodding movement froze slightly.

Have more interactions with that Fanny?

A bit dangerous, right?

Harold didn't know Ryan's concerns, but thought that Ryan was a little confused, so he said:

"In the past few decades, except for Mr. Lane and your group, no foreigner has been to the Whispering Forest as a guest. In addition, there is no blockage of news from outside the settlement. As a result, the younger generation of elves in our lineage have raised It’s become a bit of a fear of strangers…”

As he spoke, Harold rubbed his temples with a headache: "Because of this incident, I sent many juniors to Alcott College to go to school, where they can communicate with foreigners without worrying about safety issues. , now it seems that the effect is quite good.”

Ryan: "..."

So you send the younger elves to Alcott College to go to school, is it just to cure their social fears?

"...However, it is impossible for me to send all the younger generation to Alcott Academy. There are still many elves who are afraid of strangers. Ivy and the others you met today are good examples.

I'm afraid that if this continues, it will be detrimental to their growth, so I hope, Mr. Lane, you can communicate more with them these days. "

After Harold finished speaking, Ryan came back to his senses and nodded: "No problem."

After all, if people treat you so warmly, you can't just do this little favor, right?

Fortunately for Ivy, even if Harold didn't say anything, Ryan planned to let her serve as the guide for Ryan and his party here.

As for Fanny...

Reconsideration! Reconsideration!
