Chapter 81 The elves disappeared and the demons danced wildly (please order the full version)
Through Luna’s gestures, Li Qing probably understood that Xiaolian was also born in the water lily pond behind the manor.
When the water lily and cordyceps were first conceived, Luna keenly sensed the aura of her own race, so she took the initiative to use her own cordyceps to help cover it up.
Until now, Xiaolian has matured and absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making it difficult to conceal the movement.
Luna was afraid of attracting the attention of "bad guys", so she smuggled it out and entrusted it to Li Qing, who "had a friendly aura about him".
As for where the friendly atmosphere comes from? Li Qing thought that it either came from Qingmu Zhenyuan and Xiao Shen Tong, or it was left behind by his interaction with the Asuns.
"Okay, I generally understand." Li Qing nodded and sent Luna out of the window, "I will be careful not to let the bad guys catch it."
"Gu Chie!" Luna held up the hem of her skirt, made a ladylike bow to Li Qing, flapped her thin wings, and flew towards the water lily pond.
"So we got another elf insect?" Li Qing felt a little unreal, "There can't be any conspiracy behind it, right?"
Even through the induction of spiritual consciousness, Luna did indeed It is pure sincerity. But who knows if she is being taken advantage of?
Li Qing flicked his fingers and fed Xiaolian a pure spiritual energy ball. Seeing it chewing on it in confusion and joy, he took it into his Dantian with a thought.
"Hey, regardless of whether I have other plans, I really took this sugar-coated bullet. There is no Dantian in this world, no matter how hard others try, they can't find it."
In the dantian, the lake formed by the gathering of true energy is no longer as calm as a mirror. From time to time, waves are set off, washing away the foundation of the high platform and the three treasure trees on the foundation.
Beside the road base, a True Essence Green Lotus held up the three Asuns as they swam in the True Essence Lake, like a fishing boat fighting against the wind and waves. Although it swayed this way and that, it never capsized.
The three small cordyceps took root in the "lake", constantly absorbing Li Qingjing's pure essence, passing through the body once and then returning.
As he entered and exited, Li Qing's true energy gradually became tainted with certain characteristics of the elf. Cordyceps also grew slowly.
Especially the cordyceps lettuce, another inflorescence quietly hangs from the top, this time it is light green, hidden among the green leaves, very inconspicuous.
Li Qing's spiritual consciousness was touched, and he felt pure and pleasant. He thought that the magical effect of this new seed was also based on his spiritual consciousness.
As soon as Xiaolian entered the Dantian, she landed on the Zhenyuan Qinglian, almost startling Chaoyin: "Guka?"
Xiaolian was also confused, looking around. , I felt that A-Sun and A-Zao looked a little strange, so I instinctively moved towards Chaoyin: "Guji!"
Li Qing communicated with his spiritual consciousness and asked Xiaolian to plant the cordyceps in the true essence, and then entrusted it to Chaoyin and the others, then he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.
Xiao Lian's Cordyceps sinensis is a light purple water lily with three leaves and one flower. It belongs to the water element, so it is somewhat close to Chaoyin, who also belongs to the water element.
But Chaoyin seemed a little cold and didn't pay much attention to Xiaolian. When he saw it coming towards her, he pushed it away hard.
Xiao Lian thought it was playing with her, so she persisted in getting close to it, and the cycle continued.
Azao, on the other hand, was very interested in Xiaolian's cordyceps. He flapped his wings and left the Zhenyuan Qinglian, and slowly landed on the water lily, which was quite poetic.

That night, the manor housekeeper hurried over, leading several people and walking around the courtyard with compass-like instruments, and even wanted to enter the house to investigate.
Ren was very annoyed, fearing that he would disturb Li Qing, so he stood up and reprimanded: "Is this the way of hospitality at the Earl's Mansion? Disturbing people's dreams at night?"
A look of anxiety appeared on the steward's face: "Your Excellency Baron, Luna is missing. We have to search all night. We have to search all the manors. Please forgive me for any offence!"
"Little Water Lily The elf is missing!" Ren was surprised and hesitated, "This is indeed worrying, but my Lord..."
Li Qing in the room naturally heard it.
He looked solemn, and his powerful consciousness swept across the manor, then towards the water lily pond at the back.
However, nothing was found! Luna seemed to disappear out of thin air!
He closed his eyes and looked back at the interaction with Luna just now, and found nothing wrong.
"Ren, please come in, Mr. Butler." Li Qing ordered softly, "The elf is dealing with a serious matter, so please obey the authority and let them search."
In this world, elf bugs can only make ordinary plants have a good harvest. Although their value is heavy, they can still be measured in money.
But elves can already "plant" large areas of mortal plants into witch medicine for use by rune warriors and even wizards in practice. This is an absolute strategic resource.
Ren also understood this truth. After listening to Li Qing's words, he let him enter the room: "Let's start with the sailors' rooms first. Your Excellency and I need to clean up first..."
The butler's mouth bubbled with anxiety: "Thank you, sir, and the Baron for being so reasonable. If you and I are traveling with elves, please move to the courtyard first to avoid misunderstandings."
As he said , he directed others to search the sailor's residence. He started from Little Joel's room, and then went to Ren's place after getting no results.
Li Qing didn't feel guilty at all, and when the housekeeper came over, he opened the door wide for them to search.
Fortunately, the housekeeper was still the governor and did not search the room. He only walked around with the compass-like instrument.
Li Qing took a closer look and saw that it was a wooden gadget with a blue wooden needle in the middle, spinning in circles.
Ren observed the words and asked casually: "Is this a new talisman?"
The talisman is an extraordinary tool used by the rune warrior. For example, his handle can increase the power of the rune warrior. Harpoon of runic power.
The housekeeper was very worried and replied casually: "This is a witchcraft that can sense the presence of elves. No matter whether it is an elf bug, a small elf, or even a big elf, there is nothing to hide from it."
As for witchcraft, of course they are extraordinary tools used by wizards.
Li Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and deliberately walked to the housekeeper. As expected, there were no other changes to the hands.
He used the Charm to Confuse God and the Charm to Confuse Mind. Although they were only two small spells during the Qi training period, they were used to influence the opponent's bronze warrior, but they were also easy to capture.
“This magic weapon was given to the earl by a mysterious wizard. In just two and a half years of using it, we found more than thirty cordyceps growing in the wild. After careful cultivation, all of them were born. Elf bug.”
"It's a pity that the sensing range of this magic weapon is a bit small, so so many people need to be dispatched. It would be convenient if we could just make a big one and cover the whole island..."
Li Qing was very happy. He exclaimed twice, then made some insinuation: "When did Luna disappear?"
The housekeeper suddenly made a grimace: "It was about nine o'clock in the evening, the guard The serf in the water lily pond suddenly disappeared.”
“Although Luna was naughty and liked to wander around, her cordyceps suddenly disappeared. Something must have happened.”
Li Qing calculated the time and found that the accident happened about an hour after Luna left here. Even if someone were monitoring the manor from afar, they wouldn't be involved.
He thought for a moment and mentioned it casually: "Many wizards have spatial abilities. Maybe someone hid Luna?"
The housekeeper categorically rejected: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Which wizard , dare to use space ability in the territory of the great Iris family?”
Li Qing thought of the storage bag and the spirit beast bag that he could use freely, and couldn’t help but be silent for a moment: Maybe, these are the two. Another difference in the world?
He still wanted to ask more questions, but the housekeeper had already searched Li Qing's room.
He was so anxious that smoke was coming from his forehead. Li Qing was afraid that the entanglement would be too confusing, so he put away the spell that confused his mind and sent him away from the manor.
Ren and others left and punched the door frame angrily: "This Iris family is too rude! We are all respectable people, how could we steal their elf?"
"What's more, even if there is a search, the count must personally lead the team to express sincerity and apology, right? How can we let the butler take the lead!"
Before he finished speaking, there was a sound coming from another manor in the distance. A level four witchcraft wave comparable to foundation building.
A gloomy voice was very annoyed: "Get out! What a despicable guy, you dare to touch my baby!" After a moment, another level 4 witchcraft exploded, and a violent voice sounded. Ye Sky: "Extremely rude! Shameless!"
The two level four experts who came to the island today brazenly vented their dissatisfaction on the main island of Iris.
Only the one who came with hidden strength, like Li Qing, politely allowed them to search.
As for the forces that did not have level 4 experts, including the Morning Glory family, they finally held back and did not have a head-on conflict with the people who came to search.
Unfortunately, Luna, the water lily elf, seemed to have disappeared from the world, and no trace of her could be found.
On the contrary, the dissatisfaction of all forces is accumulating, like a powder keg that will explode if it heats up a little.
*
Amidst all the commotion, the next day’s luncheon began.
Li Qing, Renne and Little Joel, accompanied by the manor steward, went to the banquet hall of Iris Castle.
Outside the castle, he finally met the long-famous Count Gavin Iris.
What surprised Li Qing was that the count was not the majestic middle-aged man he imagined, but a young man with pale skin, handsome appearance and a somewhat cold breath.
"I'm sorry for the poor reception, and such a rude thing happened yesterday. I have already punished Thorne." Gavin spoke softly, and there was no trace of him being a man who has been suppressing the Iris Sea for decades. A powerful presence.
Li Qing was afraid, but he said with a smile: "The elf is very important, and that little guy Luna is quite cute, and I don't want anything to happen to her."
Because I know Iris. The family cooperated with the Emerald Ring. Li Qing did not pretend to be someone else, but he also did not give his name. He only called himself "Tree Shepherd".
In fact, because he was worried about the curse of his real name, Li Qing never said his name when he came to this world. Including the Wren family, everyone is always addressed as "adult".
Gavin actually didn't care. Instead, he looked at Li Qing with some surprise. He politely led him into the banquet hall, apologized again, and then went out to wait for the others.
Li Qing followed the local customs today and imitated Ren, wearing a white silk shirt with gold thread and a black silk and silver-rust vest. He looked very aristocratic.
Even though he has black hair and eyes that are very different from ordinary people, it cannot stop those noble girls from being curious about him.
It’s just that after all, he is a level four strong man with extraordinary bearing, but no one comes to talk to him, so that he can enjoy some peace and quiet.
Not long after, Gavin brought in another level four expert.
This man is thin and handsome, but his huge dark circles under his eyes make people feel like he is not awake.
What alarmed Li Qing was that this man was filled with a strange and resentful air, and there was a faint ghost of an injustice bound within his body, which was wailing constantly.
Compared with Li Qing's "unattainable" character, this man was "keep away from strangers" and no one dared to approach him.
A nobleman came in behind him. He seemed to be particularly good at dancing and could chat with many people.
According to Renne, this person is Viscount Michel Violet.
But the inheritance of the violet elf in his family has been broken. There is only one oak elf in the family, which was brought as a dowry by his wife.
Not long after, Gavin brought in a muscular man with a wide mouth and an angry look. He was clearly another level four strongman.
So, all the guests at today’s banquet are here. Only the one who came with a masked aura was nowhere to be seen.
As for the host of the banquet, the Iris family, only the earl attended from beginning to end.
Other family members, as well as the other three level four experts that Li Qing sensed yesterday, have not shown up.
As for the guests, except for the two fourth-level experts, nearly half of the nobles present were surrounded by wizards with different auras.
Some of them were wearing black robes, and their faces could not be seen clearly; some were covered in the smell of blood; some were wearing half bone masks; some were hanging skull necklaces...
In comparison, with Morning Glory Donaldo, who came with the family, although his words were a bit annoying, was actually quite normal.
“Why do I feel that none of these wizards are normal?” Li Qing frowned slightly and turned to talk to Ren in a low voice.
Ren was also surprised.
Lettuce Island is a remote place. Over the years, except for Li Qing, he has only seen the old witch who destroyed Jinmai Island.
Now that I saw so many weird wizards at first glance, it was really an eye-opener: "Sir, I think these people fit the image of evil wizards in legends very well."
Li Qing was speechless for a moment, and his heart Said: "There are just so many monsters, no wonder the wizard became the villain in "The General History of the World". It's really no one else's fault."
Donaldo was drinking a glass of iris wine, and listened to Li Qing and the other two Talking, he came over again very expressively.
“These guys from the Wizarding Monastery were abandoned by the Kingdom of Witches and encountered the witch-hunting movement of the Kingdom of Light. They hid in various places and lost their original inheritance. They could only play these crooked ways. "
Li Qing changed his mind and winked at Ren.
Renn took over the conversation knowingly, not letting Li Qing, the "big man from the Emerald Ring", reveal his secrets.
"After all, there are fourth-level wizards. Isn't there any wizard organization willing to absorb them?"
Donald smiled coldly: "A group of fake wizards who don't even have witch cores. You can’t even go to the Witch Country, so why did you accept it?”
“Hey, which Witch Country is this top-notch witch?” A charming witch came with a water snake on her waist and a cup of blood-colored wine. .
“When there was a natural disaster, you turtles hid in your turtle shells and pretended to be dead. Now you are shaking...”
"You!" Donald glared at her.
Seeing that there was going to be a quarrel, Frank pulled Donaldo aside with sweating profusely: "Mr. Donaldo, bear with me, there are many of them."
Donald looked around and found that many "fake wizards" were eyeing him, and he quickly shut up.
Fortunately, after the Earl greeted all the guests, he finally stood in the center of the banquet hall.
"Good afternoon, everyone!" The Earl still whispered softly, but the power of the fourth-level powerhouse made everyone feel awe-inspiring.
"I invite you all to come here today. The first is to discuss the major issues of our Iris Islands alliance to respond after the Jinmai Island incident."
"The second is that it is the winter awakening ceremony of our Iris family, so I invite you to watch the ceremony. ”
Unlike Lettuce Island, the awakening ceremony on Iris Island is held every quarter. What is being held tonight is a winter ritual.
"Watching the ceremony? I'm afraid there will be a demonstration." Frank muttered in a low voice.
Li Qing glanced at him and probably understood why this man and Donaldo were able to get together.
But he was indeed a little curious: "Is there anything special about the Iris family's awakening ceremony?"
