Chapter 72
Chapter 71: Ball
Louis was at the scene when the dark stone was discovered, and it was because of the appearance of the dark stone that he decided to disguise himself as an elf princess, but he didn’t expect it to happen in just one day. Involved in the mother tree.
Louis glanced at Tao Rong without a trace, and found that the other party’s expression changed slightly after nodding.
The main clues of this matter were discovered by Tao Rong, and Waterston did not have the idea of taking the credit. So after saying this, he stepped aside and let Tao Rong and Louis talk about it.
Learning that the last place where the hole leads is the root of the mother tree, and that it has been completely polluted by the dark breath, Louis’ face is even worse.
This matter is urgent, Louis did not have time to tell the others, and they went to the location of the mother tree with Taorong.
Because the state of the mother tree is getting worse and worse, the elf king arranged for many people to guard by the side, and no one is allowed to approach the mother tree without his order.
In order not to annoy Louis, who may become the next elf king, the guards looked at their noses and noses and made way for them.
The guards are so sensible that Louis is both happy and dissatisfied.
The dissatisfaction is that they clearly know that no one should be placed near the mother tree, but they turn a blind eye for fear of offending people.
It was him today, was there anyone else before?
But this is not the important thing now, Louis glanced at them, remembered the appearance, took Taorong and them straight to the mother tree.
They made a ‘squeak” sound when they stepped on the ground covered with fallen leaves. Louis asked Taorong to come over to see it was just a chance, and he was not sure whether Taorong could find out.
Tao Rong walked into the mother tree, and with her previous experience, she squatted down and carefully looked at the roots that were close to the ground, and swept away the fallen leaves with her hands, trying to find the traces of darkness.
Others also squatted down like Tao Rong, trying to find clues.
There is nothing unusual on the surface, but everyone did not take it lightly.
When she found that the soil in a certain place was extremely wet, Taorong took out an axe and dug downwards.
[Obtained item: Strange bead buried in the ground]
After digging for a long time, the system prompt jumped out. Taorong picked up the beads covered with soil, rinsed them with water, and the round beads exuded a dim light in her hand.
“Sister Taorong, I found something!”
“Big brother, big brother, I am here too.”
“I have it here too.”
Almost the moment Taorong was dug out, others also made new discoveries. Tucao: “Are we collecting Dragon Balls?”
“…”
Louis and Waterston, who are NPCs, showed confusion in their eyes, Tao Rong saw Waterston’s serious expression and wanted to ask Modo Modo what Dragon Ball was, and quickly changed the subject: “I I don’t feel the dark aura on this bead, how about you?”
“Me neither.”
Songsheng shook his head first, and Modomo, who was trampled by Xiaohe for saying inappropriate words, squeezed out a smile and shook his head.
No one found anything unusual in the ball, but since it was buried next to the mother tree, it must have a deep meaning.
Tao Rong thought about it and took out a dark stone from her backpack. Seeing that there was no response when it was placed beside the ball, she simply crushed the dark stone.
As soon as the dark breath came out, Tao Rong’s purification technique was ready to go. Who knew that the ball would quickly absorb those dark breaths in the next moment, and Tao Rong took out a dark stone and pinched it If it is broken, the other party will not refuse, and will still absorb it.
The speed of the ball slowed down until the dark aura in the five dark stones was absorbed, Tao Rong estimated that it had reached its absorption limit, and did not take out the dark stone. Stone comes.
“What is this? A replacement for the Dark Stone?”
“Not quite.”
Hearing Waterston’s question, Tao Rong shook his head. Rather than saying that it is a substitute for the Dark Stone, it is better to say that it was buried here to help the mother tree absorb the dark breath, but I don’t know who put it here.
What does he know?
In order to find out how many such **** there are, everyone picked up what they had handy and digged around the mother tree, which was dusty and weeds flying.
size.
During their excavation, Tao Rong noticed that the ball used for the experiment was inexplicably smaller by more than half, and after seeing those **** of different shapes and sizes, I have a plan in my mind.
It seemed that her guess was correct, these **** were specially left in the ground to help the mother tree absorb the dark breath.
Since they found out, Louis took Tao Rong and the others to find the guards responsible for guarding the mother tree and asked who came here often.
Let me ask you, who do you usually let in?”
People are going in. Her Royal Highness, what you said really wronged us too much.”
“…”
The guard’s expression is sincere and reliable, and he almost swears to God to prove his dedicated heart.
Seeing this scene, Modo Modo silently made a wow mouth to express his admiration for his superb acting skills. A scene is invisible.
Xiaohe and Songsheng’s eyes fell on Tao Rong, and after noticing each other’s eyes, they looked away without disturbing each other.
Waterston is more upright, seeing that the guard is so arrogant, just about to refute, and thinking that the Elf Princess is in front, it is not his turn to speak, so he can only swallow those sentences silently in his stomach .
Tao Rong looked at Louis, became the “elf princess” for only a day, and he adapted to his new identity very well. Seeing that the guard was full of lies, his face darkened, and he said solemnly: ” I’ll give you one more chance, who do you usually let in? If you’re full of nonsense again, don’t blame me for sending someone to take your place.”
Being able to work for the elf king is the dream job of the elf every month. The job of guarding the mother tree is well paid and leisurely, and it can be admired by others.
If they lost the job because of this, they’d be hard-pressed to find a better job.
As soon as the threatening words came out, the guard who was slick and hard-mouthed suddenly softened.
He hurriedly knelt on the ground, showing a heart-wrenching, helpless look, with a bit of sourness in his tone: “Your Highness Princess, I have betrayed the trust of you and the king, If you didn’t resist the threat of force and oppression by others, you blame me and blame me for punishing me, you blame me for being too useless…”
“…”
This wave of face-to-face admitting mistakes and actually selling miserably made everyone have different expressions, and Modo Modo quickly complained in the team channel.
! ]
Louis is not in the mood of watching a play like Modo Modo. Since he returned to the Elf Forest, he has been disappointed by all the scenes he has seen. After the changes in the elves over the years, he hated that iron could not become steel.
If it wasn’t for remembering that the Elf King was still seriously ill and his identity was not easy to reveal, Louis would really want to ask the Elf King what happened, and let him make frequent stupid actions over the years Acts, indifferent to the other three elves except the moon elves?
In his memory, the elf Wang Mingming is not only a good father, but also a good king.
Everyone put it in.”
The guard raised his eyes and carefully observed Louis’s face. Seeing that his expression improved, he quickly said, “Yes…it’s the young master of the Bunnier family. We only let him in secretly.”
“It’s Grote…”
Tao Rong looked at Louis with a questioning face. She was new here and didn’t know who the young master of the Neil family was. Waterston whispered a name at this time.
The guard asked for the name. Louis wanted to go with Tao Rong and the others to meet this Grote and see what he knew.
At this time, someone came to find Louis, saying that the Elf King wanted to see him.
After taking out the token of the Elf Princess and handing it to Tao Rong, Louis followed the man and left in a hurry. Tao Rong and the others, led by Waterston, went to Grote’s house to ask him a question clear.
When she came to Grote’s residence, Tao Rong was a little surprised. When she saw him so arrogant before the palace gate, she thought Grote was a pushy and vain person.
But he didn’t think that his home was not even a little bit shabby compared to the surrounding houses, and it didn’t look like a place where people like Grote would live.
“Sigh, pretend.”
Modo, who had quarreled with Grote, had a filter of prejudice in his eyes. Waterston ignored their thoughts and went to knock on the door.
There was movement in the house soon, and the door was opened with a squeak.
Groot looked at Waterston at the door in surprise, humming just as he was about to taunt, and inadvertently saw five people standing in a row behind him.
His eyes fell on Tao Rong, Grote’s face darkened, he took a few steps back and closed the door.
