Chapter 479: Morning Light Forest

"Lingyun, are we going to the Morning Light Forest today?" Chen Jing asked Lingyun with some curiosity.

"That's right, and there are also some things I need to look into!" Lingyun said.

"The territory of the Elf Race in the Morning Light Forest does not welcome outsiders. Are you sure you don't need me to go ahead and report it?" Aiweier asked with some doubt. "Otherwise, you will definitely be attacked by the outer Array!"

"No need. Even if we are strangers, as long as we can correctly activate the power of the Eternal Leaf, the Array in the Morning Light Forest will not attack us!"

"Eh? Does the Eternal Leaf have such an effect?" Aiweier asked curiously.

"Of course, otherwise how could the Eternal Leaf be considered the holy object of the Elf Race?" Lingyun said with a smile.

"Alright then, let's set off immediately!" Thinking that she would be home soon, Aiweier's mood soared.

"Ahem, I say Aiweier, it would be better if you didn't get too happy. You've been away from home for so long, who knows if you'll get a spanking when you go back!" Looking at the excited Aiweier, Chen Jing reminded her with a mischievous smirk.

"Ah, I'm doomed, I'm doomed!" Thinking of the High Priest of the Elf Race, Andiya, Aiweier's little face collapsed all at once.

Suddenly, not knowing what she thought of, Aiweier immediately looked at Lingyun pitifully: "Lingyun, only you can save me this time!"

"Oh, how do you want me to save you?" Lingyun asked with a smile. "Didn't you say that the Elf Race doesn't welcome outsiders? Will what we say be of any use?"

"It's the Eternal Leaf. When the time comes, just say that finding the Eternal Leaf this time was partly thanks to my efforts. For the sake of the Eternal Leaf, the High Priest shouldn't punish me too severely!" Aiweier said.

Looking at Aiweier's pleading gaze, Lingyun couldn't help but chuckle. He reached out and patted Aiweier's head: "Alright, don't worry, your High Priest definitely won't punish you when the time comes!"

Although there was such a guarantee from Lingyun, Aiweier still felt uneasy in her heart. After all, that was the High Priest with a lofty status in the Elf Race, a powerhouse who had survived from the Millennium Holy War; even the current Elf Queen had to lower herself by three degrees in front of her. For someone like that, would Lingyun's words be effective?

"There are so many people in the Morning Light Forest! Isn't it said that the Morning Light Forest is the territory of the Elf Race? Why are there so many people appearing here?"

Chen Jing looked at the mercenaries passing by them in a hurry with some surprise, her tone filled with astonishment.

"The Elf Race did not designate the entire Morning Light Forest as their territory, but rather expanded an area around the Elf Ancient Tree as the land of the Elf Kingdom," Aiweier explained. "Most importantly, the Morning Light Forest is simply too big. As the largest forest on the Continent, the area of the Morning Light Forest is almost twice that of the Norton Empire. The Elf Race doesn't have many people, and they simply can't manage such a large area, so the Elf Race occupied the most fertile parts of the Morning Light Forest, and let mercenaries adventure freely in the other places."

"But that still doesn't explain why there are so many mercenaries in the Morning Light Forest!" Su Wanyue asked.

"That must be because of the Elf Ancient Tree. The Natural Power emanating from the Elf Ancient Tree nourishes all kinds of plants in the entire Morning Light Forest, not only accelerating their growth rate but also making their medicinal effects much stronger. That is why so many mercenaries flock to the Morning Light Forest!" Lingyun said.

"Eh, I say Lingyun, why do I feel like you are very familiar with the Morning Light Forest? It's like you know everything!" Aiweier asked with a curious face.

"As for that, I've seen a lot, so I know a lot!" Lingyun smiled faintly. "Besides, using Natural Power is not necessarily the exclusive patent of your Elf Race, you know!"

Looking at the emerald green light that flashed and vanished in Lingyun's hand, Aiweier couldn't help but open her mouth wide. This kind of light only appears when the Elf Race performs their unique Natural Magic. Although outsiders can master a portion of Natural Power after undergoing the Natural Baptism, no one has ever been able to reach such a pure level. It would be better to say that the purity of the Natural Power of most elves is not as high as what Lingyun just displayed casually.

"You, who exactly are you?" Seeing this scene, Aiweier's speech became stuttered.

You must know that the Elf Race has not used the Natural Baptism for nearly a hundred years. And Lingyun in front of her looks like he is definitely not over twenty years old, so where did the Natural Power he mastered come from?

"You, just keep guessing!" Lingyun reached out and patted Aiweier's head, saying with a smile.

"Ugh, I'm not a child, stop patting my head all the time!" Aiweier said in a very dissatisfied tone.

But looking at her squinting eyes, appearing to be enjoying it very much, no matter how you look at it, there was a feeling of lacking confidence.

"Alright, isn't our main goal now to go to the Elf Kingdom? The Elf Kingdom should be in the deepest part of the Morning Light Forest, right? At our current speed, I don't know how long it will take to arrive!" Chen Jing said.

"Hee hee, you thought wrong there. The Elf Kingdom is not in the very center of the Morning Light Forest!" Aiweier said with a smile. "I said that the Elf Kingdom designated the most fertile place in the Morning Light Forest as its territory, but I never said that that place was the very center of the Morning Light Forest."

"Oh, there's such a saying?" Su Wanyue raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Following this direction and walking straight, at our speed, we should be able to reach the outermost edge of the Morning Light Forest in about three days!" Aiweier said. "But I find one thing very strange. Lingyun, how did you know to walk in this direction? The maps of the outside world don't have the location of the Elf Kingdom."

"Did you forget about this map?" Lingyun shook the map in his hand.

This map was exactly the one Lingyun took out in the Magic Beast Forest, and the location of the Elf Kingdom was clearly marked on it.

"Tsk, it really is a strange map!" Aiweier carefully examined the map in Lingyun's hand and discovered some patterns on it that she was not familiar with at all.

"You don't need to look at it. Some things on this map are not things you can understand!" Watching Aiweier staring at the map, Lingyun smiled and put the map away.

"Then let's set off immediately. I can't wait to know what kind of kingdom the Elf Kingdom really is!" Chen Jing said.
