Chapter 2503: Elvish Arrow and Vista City Journey

After temporarily saying goodbye to Luweiya, Xia De prepared sufficient lunch cat food for Little Mia, and then headed to the strange forest city.

After walking out of the tree hole in the ruin clearing, he first leaned against the giant tree and looked around. The forest was still peaceful during the day, and the tree shadows were projected onto the floor tiles on the edge of the ruins. The big-tailed squirrel that was picking pine nuts in the tree shadow was startled by Xia De who suddenly appeared, and quickly ran to the tree holding the pine nut.

Xia De thought that the mysterious elf would appear immediately, but he waited for a long time without seeing her.

So he put on the wreath and tried to find the flower sea according to the position he remembered last night. The forest told Xia De how to walk forward, but when he arrived at the open space, the flower sea was still there, but the elf had disappeared.

Fortunately, above the silver-blue flower sea, the familiar silver-blue small flower floated in the sun. When Xia De walked over, it took the initiative to fly forward to guide Xia De.

After that, Xia De entered the forest again, followed the small flower for about five minutes, and after crossing a forest stream, the flower stopped under a giant tree and slowly landed in Xia De's palm after he approached.

Xia De looked around, and finally looked up and saw a tree house on the giant tree. The reason it is called a "set" is because rope ladders and vines connect a total of three layers of quite large houses up and down.

This is a typical Elvish-style building. It is clear that the mysterious elf girl lives here.

Xia De turned into a butterfly and flew up. Just at this time, the door of the middle layer of the three-layer tree house was also pushed open. The blonde elf dressed exactly the same as yesterday walked out and stood on the wooden platform in front of the door. This tree that built the tree house was extremely tall, and looking at the forest from here, one could see the lush early autumn forest sea.

So the butterfly swarm landed beside her:

"Good morning, Miss Sianode."

Xia De said this and revealed his figure, but the elf dodged to the side, looking like she didn't want to be too close to Xia De.

Of course, she was only two meters away from Xia De at this time.

One hand was on the railing, and she turned to look at him. There was almost no psychological activity in her emerald green eyes:

"Sianode is just one of the priest surnames among the Moon Creek clan elves, not all Moon Creek clan elves are surnamed Sianode."

"I don't know much about this, I'm really sorry."

The outsider who had the full set of "Ancient Elvish Knowledge" given by the Tree Father and had heard many modern Elvish traditions from Emilia said embarrassedly:

"However, the place you live in is really not bad."

Saying this, he took out the stone slab recording "Crystal Light" he picked up from the black market last night from his pocket. The elf was not surprised by the appearance of such a large stone slab. She waved her hand, and the stone slab floated to the table in front of the tree house door behind the two:

"Your action speed is really fast."

"Since I promised others to do things, I naturally have to handle them as soon as possible."

He answered this way, but didn't mean to leave immediately:

"Speaking of which, do you know Vista City?"

"Of course."

The emerald green eyes continued to look at him:

"Why, do you want to inquire about local information from me? But compared to the city, I am actually more familiar with this forest. I haven't lived here for as long as you imagine. To inquire about local folk customs, information, etc., you can go to the black market."

"Hmm... do you know if there is a large hotel with an accordion-shaped sign locally?"

The elf's eyes moved away, looking at the forest view:

"You can buy a 'Vista Woodland Travel Guide', page 8 introduces detailed information about the 'Accordion Hotel'. That place is very famous, and it only takes seven minutes to walk from the Accordion Hotel to the 'Golden Music Hall'."

It seemed that she felt the questions Xia De asked were very boring, and her tone had a sense of disgust:

"I feel that you seem to be probing me. Why, haven't you seen an elf before?"

"I have seen elves, I just didn't expect to see a pure-blooded elf living alone around a human city."

"Before humans, the forest belonged to elves."

She continued to look at the forest sea:

"If you are puzzled by my friendly attitude towards you, I said last night that I am just very curious about you. You have the blessing of the tree on you. If it weren't for confirming that you are indeed a human although you disguised your face, I would even suspect that you are also a high elf."

"I do know a young high elf."

Xia De paused:

"But my purpose for coming here has nothing to do with elves. In fact, I am looking for someone. My friend disappeared in this city."

"Friend?"

"Or rather, a teacher. In short, that is a very strong lady. You and I together can't beat her.

Although I have mastered some clues now, I am only one person after all. So if you have time, I want to entrust you to help me look for her traces in this forest. Of course, I will pay the reward."

The blonde elf's fingers tapped on the wooden railing:

"There are quite a few Ringed Shushi who disappear mysteriously in Vista Woodland every year. There are always some people who don't know how to revere the forest. Helping you look for someone is fine, I don't charge a reward, because I don't think I can help you find her."

She raised her left hand and twisted a strand of hair hanging by her ear:

"I do have some interesting information about Vista Woodland here. If you want this information, then during your activities in Vista Woodland and Creekwood Town, help me collect some things.

There are quite a few relics of ancient elves excavated from ruins scattered locally, and I need this."

Pale green light spots formed a transparent arrow in front of the two. The arrow kept turning itself, allowing Xia De to see every detail of it. Ancient Elvish runes were carved on the arrowhead, and dense tree and leaf intertwined patterns were on the arrow shaft.

"Is this an antique? Or an alchemical weapon? Or a relic?"

Xia De asked.

"After you find it, you can give yourself the answer. I don't know how many scattered arrows there are, but for every one you bring back, I will give you some rewards. You can treat this as a commission. I helped you, and you will help me, right?"

The elf said, and Xia De looked at her:

"Helping is fine, but we have only met for the second time. Why do you want to entrust me to do this kind of thing? You seem to be... very familiar with me?"

The blonde elf smiled, and twisted her hair again and turned to look at him:

"I admit you are very handsome, but please don't use this old-fashioned pickup method to pull in our distance. You have the breath of a tree on you. You, like me, have both received the blessing of the ancient Tree Father. This is enough."

Some pale green light spots floated out again. After touching the wooden railing in front of the two, these dead woods immediately regained their vitality.

Xia De reached out to touch it. It was a genuine miracle element trace of the Tree Father's divine art. It was just not a time-based miracle, but a miracle related to "trees."

"Like this, do you feel satisfied?"

"Yes, I will accept the commission to help you look for those arrows."

After saying goodbye to the mysterious elf, Xia De went to Vista City wearing the wreath. This time he continued to move forward along the direction of the forest railway, and then took the train to Vista City Railway Station.

He came to the city in the middle of the night yesterday, and now standing at the same position at the entrance of the railway station in the sunny morning, Xia De once again confirmed that this city was filled with a relaxed and leisurely atmosphere everywhere.

The "City of Music" was surrounded by forests, and it also seemed to be completely isolated from other worries on this continent. If it weren't for the newspaper-selling children still shouting today's big news "King Lion Ryan announced the expansion of the army by 200,000," Xia De almost forgot that the contradiction between the two countries in the north and south was really on the verge of breaking out.

Because he had his own destination, Xia De didn't stroll around in this strange city. After finding a rental carriage at the entrance of the railway station, he set off for the "Accordion Hotel."

On the way, Xia De also talked to the very talkative carriage driver about whether there was any news in the city, but the biggest news he got was just the mayor meeting his mistress being photographed by reporters, the upcoming Moon Dance Festival concert attracting a large number of tourists and musicians from all over the world, and environmentalists protesting against the government's deforestation at the City Hall.

The area of Vista City was not large. It took less than an hour to get from the railway station in the northeast of the city to the city center. This was because the local streets were not very wide, so the carriage didn't dare to drive very fast.

On the way, Xia De also saw the general style of the entire city from the carriage window. There were no very tall buildings here, but green plants could be seen everywhere. Not only street trees and flower pots on the balconies of residential buildings, but flowers and green leaves seemed to fill every blank gap in this city.

Nature and the city grew together harmoniously. Even if there was no "City of Music" title, Xia De felt that this place could completely be called a "Garden City."

Of course, although there were not many formal performance venues here, Xia De also found an astonishing number of concert halls and opera houses in this city. At least at the entrance of every concert hall and opera house with a sign, one could see audiences coming in and out.

The terrain of the entire Vista City was high in the middle and low around, similar to Huntington City, and was built on hills. The past Creekwood Town was in the northeast of the hills, and the main body of the town was distributed on both sides of the river, while the current city completely occupied the hills.

The city center was exactly the "Golden Music Hall," which was also the highest point of the entire city in fact. City functional departments such as the City Hall and the Police Station were all built around the "Golden Music Hall," so the "Accordion Hotel," which was less than a ten-minute walk from there, was also the most important hotel and landmark building in the entire city. ===== CHAPTER 2504 =====
