Chapter 598: Chapter 594, bait

It took Jose some time to figure out the structure of the forgotten land. The building style here was more like a small town, a small town that was used as a sanctuary.
There was an observation platform on the second floor of the forgotten land with an excellent view. However, the observation equipment here had been damaged, so Jose could only use Hiri’s one-way telescope to look at the scenery outside the city wall.
Joshua used the telescope to observe Enoch pushing the small wooden cart full of snacks to the edge of the forgotten land. Along with the announcement on the pop-up window, two Wild High Elves were attracted.
“What did you ask the Holy Tree to do?”
Elder Sindonar and the man in black stood behind Joshua. Meanwhile, Hiri went to the outer area of the forgotten land with Enoch to ensure the safety of Enoch.
!!High Elves all had a pair of eagle eyes, or rather… high vision?
They did not need binoculars to be able to clearly see what was happening in the distance.
Elder Sindonar immediately recognized Al and the branches and leaves that appeared at the edge of the forest.
Elder Sindonar did not know why they would run to the forgotten land for the time being. This elder could already feel the change in his body, which was hunger.
The black-clothed person who had left ascetic Crowe for a long time was not that sensitive to hunger, but the other High Elves were different.
Hunger was a very strange state to them.
“I just asked Your World Tree to turn on the energy-saving mode,”Joshua said.
“Energy-saving mode?”
Elder Sindonar was ready to accept the change brought about by the Holy Tree’s guidance, but this change came too quickly.
“I’ve communicated with Your World Tree.”
Joshua was glad that the World Tree of the High Elves could speak. The World Tree of the frost elves could only Meow, and Tyreen had to translate the cat language.
“Your World Tree is the power source for Arthur Crow to float in the sky. At the same time, it also maintains the powerful magic barrier around Arthur Crow and… provides the energy you need to live.”
It was difficult for Joshua to explain how a world tree could have so much energy. The energy source that allowed the world tree to grow, which was the belief of the living beings, was even more unbelievable for Joshua.
Just the power of belief alone could make such a huge city float in the sky?
In the end, Joshua gave up thinking about what the power of belief was. However, it was not a problem to stop some of Arthur Crow’s functions.
“In order to save energy for your world tree, I temporarily stopped the energy supply for you, which means that you will have to absorb energy from food for a long period of time,”said Joshua.
“Eat the remains of living creatures?”
Elder SINDONAR glanced at the black-clothed man beside him. The mask on his face made it impossible for elder Sindonar to see his expression clearly, however, Elder Sindonar saw how far away Al was, wolfing down a piece of cake.
“If this is the will of the Holy Tree.”In the end, elder Sindonar could only slowly accept these ‘abnormal feelings’on his body
Joshua continued to focus his attention on the two High Elves, but at this moment, Hiri’s voice rang in Joshua’s ears.
“The town security is really here!”
“I’ve already asked Enoch to evacuate. Hiri, try not to come into contact with those High Elves.”
Through his binoculars, Joshua also saw a group of high elves rushing over from afar.
“Where’s that small wooden cart?”
“Leave it there.”
Joshua observed the group of High Elves. This race seemed to be a matriarchal society. At least, the number of female figures in the patrol team was much more than expected.
“It’s a pity to just stay there.”
“Can you enjoy the cake in Nolan, Hiri?”
“No… I mean, put some sleeping potion on the cake or something.”
”…”
While Joshua was talking to Hiri, inor had already successfully escaped into the forgotten land with AL and the branches. The high ELF patrol team had also arrived at the periphery of the forgotten land.
“There should be one or two people who will take the bait.”
Before Joshua could finish his sentence, a wild high elf took the bait.
Unfortunately, this high elf was Al, who had taken the bait before. She seemed to think that the bait was too delicious, so she was a little unwilling and turned back to take another bite.
“Should we save her?”Hiri asked in a low voice.
“Let’s see how it goes first.”
..
It was that problematic child again!
As the leader of the patrol team, Aurelian sensed that someone had barged into the forgotten land ten minutes ago.
She immediately led her patrol team to the outer perimeter of the forgotten land, and the first thing she caught was a familiar figure… apprentice priestess Al..
“Al! Shouldn’t you be in the Hall of contemplation? !”
Aurelian was still a step too late. When she arrived at the outskirts, another high elf who was with Al and a human-like figure had already run into the forgotten land. Al was the only one who came back halfway.
It was as if al did not hear her. After finding the wooden box used for packaging under the small wooden cart, he quickly packed the cakes on the small wooden cart into the wooden box.
Although Al’s personality was a little naive, she was not stupid. Since she had time to answer the inspector’s question, Al might as well pack a few cakes and run away.
“Al, you have forgotten the Elders Council’s admonition that you have made a big mistake by approaching the forgotten land without permission. I will arrest you in the name of the Council!”
Aurelian’s voice had a hint of gnashing of teeth.
She did not have a good relationship with this apprentice priestess. The reason was simple… she had lost to Al in the priestess assessment. The most hateful thing was that she had lost because of her talent, not because of her personal efforts.
Aurelian saw that Al still did not respond to her. This kind of anger, which was between being ignored and being scorned, made Aurelian take out a wooden arrow without a tip and aim it at Al..
The wooden arrow was engraved with a large number of silver-white runes. The person who was hit by the wooden arrow would be immediately bound on the spot.
Draw the bow, pull the string, and aim.
Archery was the only ability Aurelian was confident of defeating al. she aimed at the midshipman’s abdomen and shot the arrow.
However, the moment the arrow was about to hit Al, Al turned around and blocked the arrow with a magic barrier formed by his left hand. When she cast the magic barrier, she still had a piece of cream cake in her mouth.
After al easily blocked the attack from Aurelian, she swallowed the cream cake in her mouth with ease and then ran into the forgotten land with the cake that she had packed.
“Aurelian…”
A few elven scouts behind him watched al run into the forgotten land, not knowing what to do for a moment.
“Winn, go and tell the elders about this.”
Aurelian glanced at the wooden cart that Al had stopped in. The words written on the wooden cart were human words.
