Chapter 1259 Gretel: Is My Mother in This Tree?
A vigorous seafood conference was held on the beach.
The elves, whether they were the legendary disciples returning by boat, the patrols stationed on the beach, or the surrounding villagers who came to help urgently, all sat together closely:
"I'll make a bonfire!"
"I'm going to get firewood. I know the terrain around here best. I can find dead trees wherever I look!"
"Fossils turn into mud! Turn mud into stone! - Bring these shells up and bake them. They will be delicious!"
"I'm going to get the pot from home! And the baking fork!"
They set up a bonfire on the beach, hung magic flames; set up pots and pans, laid out stone slabs; mixed sauces, ground spice powder, and made all preparations for cooking——
Although the captured swordfish and tuna cannot be eaten, other fish and shrimps that died in the battle, were thrown ashore, were dying, or were already dead are the objects of feasting.
Serira manipulated the water waves to roll the thinly sliced snails twice in the boiling water, then floated them in the sauce bowl and immediately flew to her lips. The rich and fragrant taste exploded on the tip of the tongue, and the silver dragon girl squinted her eyes as she ate;
Bernard had a bowl of snail meat in one hand and a grilled fish longer than his arm in the other. He ate it from side to side until his beard was covered with sauce. After eating a large amount of high-level monster meat in a short time, the barbarian's body was steaming with heat, and every muscle was bulging;
Idian jumped in front of the stone slab and waved the two elven moon blades into a ball of silver light. Swish, brush, brush, brush, brush!
The king squid, which was as tall as a hill, had arms and legs that were as thick as a person and tens of meters long, and he cut them into filaments half a foot long and as thick as a finger. Ashe Yuege stood opposite the chopping board. After Idian cut a bunch, she picked up a bunch and ran to send it to be baked...
Even the elf warriors who had been seriously injured and had just been lifted up by healing techniques joined in the busyness.
Those who are strong can help cut the meat and grill the meat, while those who are not strong can help make sauces and clean the barbecue grill. Those who are really weak can at least watch the fire by the pot:
By the way, if you see a piece of fish, shrimp, or crab legs that is cooked, if you have a quick eye or a quick hand, grab it and eat it!
After eating a large amount of monster meat, his pale cheeks became a little more red, and his body was boiling with energy and blood. Soon, among the sluggish wounded soldiers in the camp, there was a lot of laughter and laughter, and some people began to brag loudly:
"You know, when those lobster claws came at me..."
Grete walked slowly on the beach, filling up half a bowl of soup here, taking a roasted squid leg there, changing the fire and getting two roasted shells, and quickly filled his stomach. He walked forward along the fire and soon discovered that the flow of people on the beach was flowing in the same direction:
Over there, three tall black figures were lined up. Grete walked over quickly and saw three ancient trees of different shapes, centered on Sacilia, occupying half of the beach:
Either upright, or lying down, or the crown of the tree spreads out as much as possible, or the trunk goes straight up and down, forming a fat lump, with only a few branches sprouting from the top.
The elves held a string of floating saucers in their hands, or held them directly with floating magic, or simply woven baskets with vines to transport large quantities of ingredients to the ancient tree:
Some of them are ready, put them into a separate plate or a pot, and give them to the alchemy tree ship Sacilia. Sacilia stretched out a long branch, with thick round leaves on the top. When it was full, it retracted into the trunk and disappeared;
Some lobsters, crabs, and murlocs who had been killed by fireballs, electrocuted, poisoned, or killed by other methods gathered together, crashed, and fell on the roots of the three ancient trees.
As soon as a batch was poured down, tree roots quickly sprang out, and countless small roots stretched out from the main root to wrap up the corpses. Then the sand, gravel or soil would naturally roll over and cover up these dead people.
Soon, the ground became flat and nothing could be seen...
"Sister Sacilia, are you eating?"
Grete placed a roasted squid leg that he had been holding up in his hand, which he couldn't eat anymore, on Sasilia's round blade, and reached out to touch the blade. The leaves shook slightly, and soon, the gentle voice of the ancient tree came from Grete's consciousness:
"Yes. ...These monsters and sea beasts are also a big meal for us. After eating one meal, we can save a lot. At least for half a year, we don't have to think about finding food... and we can also help our lovely children clean up. The environment benefits everyone, right?”
It turns out that ancient trees can also accumulate energy in this way... Gretel's eyes were opened to the fact that animal carcasses rot in the ground and are decomposed by bacteria to form humus, which enters the natural cycle and is naturally absorbed by the vegetation.
However, you can bury it directly and eat it directly, and you don’t care about the species, carapace, or toxins. Obviously, the ancient trees have special tricks for this way of eating...
Gretel's eyes lit up. He quickly took out the oak stick from his chest pocket, shook it, turned it into the shape of an eyebrow stick, and inserted it into the ground. Holding the oak staff in one hand and touching Sacilia's branch with the other:
"Sister Sacilia, can you teach it? It's rare to have such a big meal, let's eat it together!"
A series of soft, gentle laughter sounded in the consciousness. The ancient tree branched off a branch and lightly placed it on the body of the oak staff. Gretel breathed a sigh of relief and patted the oak staff:
"You're studying here! I'll get you something to eat!"
Saying that, he ran away. Behind him, two branches sprang out from the oak staff, whirring and waving like windmills, almost hitting Gretel on the back.
From a distance, the legendary elders who were paying attention to Gretel all showed uncontrollable smiles.
This feast lasted until the moon passed the midpoint and ended. Gretel followed the mage's habit of falling asleep early. When he woke up the next morning, the beach had been cleared——
The digestive ability of ancient trees is truly amazing. Even Gretel's oak staff looked full of energy, and its branches and leaves were a bit green.
The only change is that it branches out into thirteen branches at the top of the trunk, and a cluster of oak leaves grows on each branch. The leaves are thick and strong, dark green and shiny, and there are clusters of acorns.
No matter how Gretel communicated, the oak stick stood straight there, refusing to shrink back to the size of a pencil.
"Hey, are you full?"
Gretel touched it. The oak stick shook the tree trunk, and the oak leaves made a tiny rustling sound, but they still refused to deform.
"Oh, okay... If it doesn't change, it won't change. Come on, I'll find a way to carry you..."
Grete quickly summoned a floating saucer, raised the oak staff horizontally, and then summoned several activation ropes to tie it up. The oak staff waved its branches angrily, but Grete was well prepared, jumped back, and dodged by a hair's breadth.
Not only the oak staff was overstretched, but also several other ancient trees. Grete suspected that they were overstretched. Elder Carreon's wooden staff, correction, the tree man, walked struttingly in the team, making a rumbling sound with every step he took;
Elder Gilat's ancient tree, although slightly slender, has salt water flowing on every branch. It is obvious that the salt content of last night's feast was too high;
And Ms. Sacilia, the Alchemy Tree Boat, turned into a huge boat at this time, with dozens of wooden oars protruding from both sides, paddling up the river one by one.
Two long branches stretched out from the side of the ship. The other two ancient trees each held a branch. When encountering a place with fast water and a large drop, they would pull it hard to help Ms. Sacilia. Go against the current.
Grete: "...How about you come down and walk by yourself? You see other people's ancient trees, they all walk by themselves!"
The oak staff angrily swung two branches at him.
The group of people walked slowly and leisurely along the river for two days. The river turned into a stream, the stream turned into a mountain spring, and Sacilia finally transformed from a boat into a tree-man, walking among the crowd.
After climbing seven or eight hills in a row, my eyes suddenly opened up. Cerela rode the unicorn Hero, and Gretel and Bernard rode Appa together. They stood on a towering mountain ridge and looked down:
"It's so beautiful here..."
Green mountains, dense forests, surrounded by a clear lake. The lake reflects the blue sky, white clouds float leisurely in the water, the lakeside hills are undulating, the grass is gentle, and villages are scattered around like flowers. It is quiet and peaceful to the core.
Looking along the direction of the mountains, a towering peak rises from the ground and stands at the end of the mountains. At the top of the mountain, there are countless tall trees intertwined with each other, supporting each other, pointing straight to the sky.
Even from dozens of miles away, you can still see the tangled tree body, which is almost as thick as the top of the mountain. The thick trunk was pulled up, and the branches spread out, supporting a building... a... building...
A palace?
A city?
Gretel rubbed his eyes, blessed himself with the Eagle Eye Technique, and rubbed his eyes again. Elder Fahim had slowly come to him and pointed to the mountain peak:
"That's the Elf King's Court, the essence of the entire Eternal Meeting Island. What the World Tree and the Ancient Trees hold up are the palaces of the Elf Royal Family, and the roots of the trees penetrate deeply into the Well of Eternity. On the hillside below, twelve elven nobles, Living around the royal court..."
"The spring water flowing down from the mountain peak flows into the Emerald Lake, nourishing our compatriots. The elves' magic academy, warrior academy, and academies that raise and educate young elves are all around the Emerald Lake."
"This fertile land surrounded by mountains is home to about one-third of the elven population. Of course, there are also many freedom-loving elves living in further forests, lakesides, and even on the South Island..."
"Now, do you want to go to the Magic Academy first or go to the Elf King's Court first?"
Gretel turned his head back and forth, looking up at the huge World Tree for a while, and then overlooking the quiet villages and lakes for a while. Soon, he stared at the ancient trees around the world tree, which were like supports and guards:
"Is my mother in a certain ancient tree?"
