Chapter 59 The Beautiful and Flowery Elven Priest 3
When the familiar voice reached his ears, Qi Tan's eyes suddenly became sour, and he almost shed tears.
He took two steps forward and squatted down beside the bed.The door was open, and the outside light came in vaguely, slightly illuminating the scene on the bed.
Elder Hughes' complexion was gray and his eyes, which were filled with kindness and gentleness before, had become cloudy. Even if he was covered with a warm quilt, his thin body could not be concealed.
Qi Tan held Elder Hughes' outstretched hand, his voice choked with sobs, "I'm here, Uncle Hughes, I'm here." He sobbed, "Sorry, I'm late, I'll help you now treat."
The white light overflowed from Qi Tan's hands, and slowly flowed into the body of Elder Hughes along the place where the two hands were clasped.
With some difficulty, Elder Hughes stretched out his other hand to cover Qi Tan's hands, and said vaguely in his low and inaudible voice: "Don't waste your efforts, Heath, it's useless."
Qi Tan pursed his lips tightly and shook his head stubbornly, but his eyes gradually turned red.Immediately, as if he suddenly felt something, he took a small breath of air-conditioning, his eyes suddenly widened, and doubts filled the blue pupils.
He felt that Elder Hughes drew a small symbol on the back of his hand, and that symbol, if he remembered correctly, meant to be careful.
It was a game he often played with Elder Hughes when he was young, and there were many small secret codes between them that only the two of them knew.
Before Qi Tan thought about what Elder Hughes told him to be careful, Elder Hughes slowly closed his eyes as if he had fulfilled his wish, and the arm on the back of Qi Tan's hand also weakened weakly. It hung down and landed on the edge of the bed.
Qi Tan bit his lower lip tightly, and the light in his palm gradually dissipated. After a while, he seemed to finally be able to bear the grief in his heart, and fell on the body of Elder Hughes, crying bitterly.
Sinoman walked into the house from the door, squatted down, and patted Qi Tan's back lightly, as if to comfort him, "Elder Hughes, he should be waiting to see you for the last time."
Hearing Sinoman's words, Qi Tan's body trembled even more, "But I'm late," he said in a low voice, with endless sorrow in his voice, which seemed to drown people, "If I came earlier , Uncle Hughes might not..."
Sinoman interrupted him, "It's not your fault." A cloud of bright green light overflowed from the palm of his hand, slowly melting into Qi Tan's back, calming his overly fluctuating emotions, " Get up, we have to get Elder Hughes back to nature."
Sinoman's consolation was very effective. After the light ball gradually dissipated, Qi Tan's mood calmed down a lot. He took a deep breath, took a clean square handkerchief that Sinoman handed him, and reluctantly He hooked his lips, "Thank you."
Elder Hughes was buried next to the mother tree. It would take less than a year for him to turn into dust and return to the embrace of the mother tree.
This is the best destination for the dead elves.
After burying Elder Hughes, Qi Tan did not immediately return to the Northern Forest, but stayed for an extra day at the request of Sinoman.
Not for anything else, just for those elves who have been eroded by the magic energy.
Although Sinoman is an elf priest like Qi Tan, his innate ability is more inclined to other places. He is not as good at healing and purification as Qi Tan.
The Forest of the Western Regions has been attacked several times by the dark elves. There are many injured elves, and there are also many elves who are accidentally contaminated with evil energy. Sinoman can barely save those elves who were not seriously injured. , the remaining elves can only rely on the spirit beads produced by the holy pool to hang their lives dangerously.
Fortunately, Qi Tan came to the forest of the Western Regions before they couldn't hold on anymore, and rescued them.
Early the next morning, Qi Tan rode his steed and left the forest of the Western Regions. Sinoman sent him to the border of the forest of the Western Regions and watched him leave the forest.
Before leaving, Qi Tan seemed to suddenly remember, and asked, "Uncle Hughes told me to be careful before he died, do you know what he meant?"
"I don't know." Sinoman was taken aback and said uncertainly, "Maybe it's telling you to be careful of the dark elves."
"Maybe." Qi Tan nodded and rode away.
After Qi Tan's figure disappeared into the distance, Sinoman slightly raised the corners of his lips, the gentleness on his face was gone, and there was a trace of scarlet in the depths of his brown pupils, which made people feel extremely evil.
[Senior, the favorability of the target person has risen to eighty. 】
【I see. 】

After 20 days, Qi Tan finally returned to the Northern Forest.
The fresh air in the forest as always made Qi Tan heave a long sigh of relief, his legs tightened a bit, and the horse ran back to the clan land of the northern elves in one breath.
What greeted him was the warm embrace of the Great Elder.
"You don't need to say anything, Heath." The Great Elder patted Qi Tan's back with a soft tone, "Go back and have a good rest for a few days, you are already tired."
The Great Elder's sense is very keen, Qi Tan's mood is very low, and he can guess at a glance that Elder Hughes has probably returned to the embrace of the mother tree in all likelihood.
Qi Tan nodded lightly, and did not refuse the proposal of the Great Elder, "During the time I was away, the dark elves have not been here, have they?"
"I haven't been here, and nothing happened in the clan, so you can rest assured." The elder shook his head, "After you left, I told those children the news about the dark elves, and they are more active than I imagined. Much sooner, the forest in the Northern Territory is now full of people, as long as there is something wrong, we will be able to detect it immediately."
Qi Tan was relieved, and finally returned to his cabin obediently.
The following days were the same as before, calm and beautiful, except for the continuous increase of defensive manpower in the forest, there seemed to be no difference from before, just like before. Same as them.
But all the elves in the family know that the news from Sinoman is not false, not to mention that their priest, Hethria, went to the forest of the Western Regions specifically for this purpose, for the future of the elves, They cannot relax in the slightest.
The days passed like this day by day, and finally one day after a month, the elves in the Northern Forest received a message from the guard of the day.
But it's not about the dark elves, but about the elves in the forest of the Western Regions.
As soon as he received the notice from the guards, Qi Tan and the Great Elder came to the outskirts of the elf territory.
Xinuoman led a group of travel-stained elves, and looked at Qi Tan with a tired and apologetic face, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hiss, but...the forest of the Western Regions has fallen."
Qi Tan took a deep breath, exchanged glances with the Great Elder beside him, and quickly made a decision.
There is a lot of space in the Northern Forest, more than enough to accommodate the elves brought by Sinoman.After handing over the task to the other elves as quickly as possible, Qi Tan and the elder brought Sinoman to the elder's cabin and asked him what happened.
Sinoman sorted out his words, "Shortly after you left, the dark elves besieged the forest of the Western Regions. We fought hard and finally pushed them back, but the elders and many elves in the clan were captured by the dark elves." Killed."
He took a deep breath, as if he was suppressing the anger and grief in his heart, "But before they left, they released a lot of magic energy in the forest of the Western Regions. The forests of the Western Regions are no longer suitable for elves to live in. We There is no other way but to bring the clansmen to find you."
Qi Tan nodded, expressing his understanding of his choice.
Compared with the elves in the three regions in the southeast, the distance between the Northern Forest and the Western Forest is much closer. When migrating with large-scale tribesmen, the Northern Forest is indeed more convenient.
What's more, it's not impossible for the Northern Forest to accept them. They are both elves, so naturally they need to support each other and resist the invasion of dark elves together.
"They are really too rampant." Qi Tan couldn't help but said, "We have sent people to the other three elves. If there is no accident, His Majesty should have known about it. You go to rest first, these God has worked hard for you."
Sinoman nodded wearily, and followed an elf to the residence arranged for him by the Great Elder.
The changes in the forests of the Western Regions made the elves in the forests of the Northern Regions worried. They were afraid that they would be the next one to be targeted by the dark elves. Fortunately, Qi Tan has always been good at soothing people's hearts, so the elves in the clan were not too flustered .
But the good times didn't last long, and not long after, another big event happened in the clan.
The elves who were sent to deliver letters to the other three elves lost their voices. Not only that, through the connection of the mother tree, Qi Tan sensed that the vitality belonging to those elves had disappeared.
They died, died in an unknown wilderness, maybe they were brutally deprived of their lives before they even communicated about the dark elves to the other three elves.
Needless to say, Qi Tan also knew that there would be no one other than the dark elves who would do such a thing at this time.
As a result, the forest in the Northern Territory fell into a panic, and this time, even Qi Tan's comfort could not have much effect.
Qi Tan sat down in front of Sinoman, who had helped him a lot these days. Most of the elves in the northern forest didn't know the habits of the dark elves, and they had an unknown feeling about them. Fear, and Sinoman, who had contact with the dark elves, told them a lot about the dark elves.
Qi Tan sighed, with a little tiredness and sadness in his eyes, "We have to think of a way."
