Chapter 684
Kasang looked in shock at the rapidly healing hideous wound on her companion's body, and then looked in disbelief at the horse that had performed this miracle. Holy, solemn, mighty, majestic, what a beautiful horse!
Her companion's wound was caused by being scratched while avoiding an ancient god when they came over. It bled a lot and she almost died. Fortunately, they encountered some tree moss on the way, grabbed two big handfuls, crushed them, and applied them to the wound, barely stopping the bleeding.
Originally, after meeting the Great Elf, she wanted to ask if there was anything for stopping bleeding to treat it before going back. She didn't expect this horse to show a miracle, and such a hideous wound actually healed right before their eyes? This was too magical.
To be honest, Kasang didn't really believe in any God Tree or Great Elf. If you can't even get enough to eat, what's the point of talking about faith?
However, some good changes had indeed occurred in the past year. The ancient god that used to wander around their habitat had disappeared. It was said to be called the Purgatory Twins.
With one less ancient god, they could have more time to look after the crops, prune, and fertilize. After one season, the grain actually had a bumper harvest.
After leaving enough rations and seeds for everyone, there was actually some left over. This was a very rare thing. Usually, there was a shortage of grain. In the past, every time this season came, it was the most painful time for the tribe because there wasn't enough grain, and they had to abandon some of their tribesmen.
Usually at this time, the older elves would (voluntarily) leave the habitat to seek their own way. This year, not only was there no need to drive away the older elves, but there was also surplus grain.
This made them a bit at a loss. After leaving enough grain, what should they do with the rest? Store it? They didn't have a place to store grain now.
Later, someone suggested: "Why don't we go back and offer tribute to the Great Elf?" This suggestion was echoed by everyone. For one, they hadn't had news of the Forbidden Land for a long time and wanted to go back to see it. For another, they wanted to show their faces in front of the Great Elf who had driven them away back then.
So they left enough rations for next year's newborns and carried all the rest over. They just didn't expect that not only did they not show their faces, but the Great Elf let a horse come out to show them a trick. If this visible healing speed wasn't a miracle, what was?
It was the first time Kasang felt that God was so close to her. Could it be that all the legends of miracles in the past were true?
"Alright, get up. The God Tree has already felt your heart," Lightning said in a tone that was slightly distant.
It had to be said that Lightning was quite suitable for pretending to be a god. This distant tone was just right. If it were too intimate, it wouldn't fit the identity of a God Tree envoy.
In the Church of Light, there were also approachable priests and majestic divine officials. Divine officials who exercised the power of God had to have a sense of distance to make people feel awe.
The three Void Elves stood up timidly.
Lightning knew very well that if it didn't guide them, these people wouldn't be able to say a word even if you beat them with three sticks, so it asked: "Open your bags and let the Great Elf see what you brought to offer him."
"Oh oh." Kasang and the others hurriedly opened their bags, revealing balls of "silk" inside?
Lightning looked suspiciously at these balls of silk-like things and asked: "Is this your staple food? You usually eat this kind of thing?"
After speaking, it tentatively stretched out its tongue, rolled a small lump into its mouth to chew, and then had a constipated expression. If Kasang and the others weren't still in front of it, it would have wanted to spit it out.
Ku Ba Da, this stuff that you can't even chew, is actually the staple food of elves? Even horses wouldn't eat it, okay.
Kasang said: "Yes, this is our food, tender hemp. It is the juvenile vine of the epiphytic hemp vine. It is picked on the fifth day of sprouting. The skin and core are cut off, and this circle in the middle is air-dried, and then it can be eaten. When eating, roast it a little, then chew it, suck out the powder inside, and spit it out when you can't chew it anymore."
Anthony felt his teeth ache listening to this, walked over, and signaled Kasang to open her mouth.
Kasang looked at Lightning, not understanding.
"Open your mouth, this is Lord Anthony, the envoy of the Kingdom of Gods," Lightning said.
Although Kasang didn't know what the Kingdom of Gods was, she still obediently opened her mouth. Upon inspection, sure enough, Kasang's teeth were all severely worn, the gaps between her teeth were super large, and her mandible was wider.

This caused Kasang's face not to be as pointed as ordinary elves. If it were any wider, it would become a square face. Square-faced elves? Lightning would laugh until it rolled on the ground.
It was obviously all from eating this tender hemp. Long-term chewing of this tender hemp led to severe tooth wear and a wide mandible, just to chew out the small amount of starch inside. It was too much effort.
They actually treated this kind of food as a staple and even carried it over to offer tribute to the Great Elf?
Anthony couldn't help but sigh again. Since he was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see devout people disappointed, he turned to Ang and said:
"Master, the quality of these tender hemps is very good. They are excellent plant fibers. If they are not used for eating but for spinning or braiding ropes, they can very well replace the sisal we use now. The clothes they wear should be made by twisting the skin and core. The fiber quality is very good. Master, why not protect them?"
Ang tilted his head, looked at Anthony suspiciously, and nodded.
Naigelis understood Ang's actions, slapped its waist muscle fiercely, and suddenly understood who Anthony had learned this habit of "not letting devout believers be disappointed" from. Ku Ba Da, he learned it from Ang!
Ang tilting his head was wondering why he had said he wouldn't care just now, but was now protecting them. Nodding was probably seeing that Anthony was sincerely wanting to protect them, and feeling it didn't matter, so he nodded. Anyway, it didn't affect his vegetable planting, so it didn't matter.
Back then, when deciding whether to open the world transit station, Ang had said "This is important to you, I agree." Ang was the true deity who didn't let devout believers be disappointed.
It wasn't just like this to Anthony; Ang was very tolerant to all believers, and everyone stayed very comfortably under his protection.
Since they decided to protect this group of elves, they had to understand their specific situation, such as population size, living environment, planting methods, etc. First, go to their tribe to take a look. Anlusi and Aisilisi would also go together, just saying: "The Great Elf represents the God Tree to visit you."
"Ah? We are going too? But what about the Forbidden Land?" Anlusi was a bit confused.
"What Forbidden Land? You didn't listen to anything we said just now, right? This is a fart Forbidden Land. Kelisi lied to you. Now that Cui Niute is out, there are no tree monsters inside. Why are you still guarding here? It's a barren place that can't even raise one or two hundred elves. Leave quickly," Naigelis complained.
"Oh oh oh." All the elves packed their luggage and left the Forbidden Land under the name of escorting the Great Elf to visit the elves who had left home.
The Zhiya tribe was not very far from here. You only needed to drift for dozens of kilometers in the void, land on a giant dead tree branch, walk forward along the branch, turn right at the second fork, and arrive at a place where it intersected with another vine.
Because it intersected with another tree vine, it would make a creaking sound when it expanded with heat and contracted with cold, so their tribe was also called the Zhiya tribe.
But before they could return to the tribe, they saw a fireball streak across the sky above the tribe from afar.
Kasang's expression changed drastically: "Not good, it's the devil's attendant. The devil's attendant has broken into the tribe. My child!"
With a shout, Kasang ran toward the tribe in a panic.
PS: Stomach ache, ate too much messy stuff during the New Year.
