High Elf Plantation

&ep;&ep;The area around the Pine Lakes has been explored by hunting teams, and almost no Warcraft has appeared here. Moreover, small bushes cannot hide large monsters, only small ones at most.

&ep;&ep; Winfried held the Arcadia broad-bladed sword in both hands, stabbed it into the bushes, and pushed it aside with force.

&ep;&ep;There seems to be nothing inside.

&ep;&ep;But after a few fiddles, a small thing suddenly jumped up from the root of the bush and fled outside. However, Winfried had quick hands and eyes, and when he leaned forward, the Arcadia sword was blocked in front of the little thing's jumping trajectory.

&ep;&ep;Click.

&ep;&ep; "Jigu..." The little thing was blocked by the sword blade and let out a soft cry. It bounced directly to the ground, and then became dizzy and couldn't get up.

&ep;&ep; Winfried bent down and looked at the little thing on the ground, and found that it was a furry thing without a neck or head. In other words, the head and body grow together and become a hairy ball. But this thing has hands and feet, short and thick, and also covered with fine fur.

&ep;&ep;On the spherical body, the eyes, ears, mouth, nose and five senses are distributed.

&ep;&ep;Big black eyes, small mouth, and round ears.

&ep;&ep;“Jigu.”

&ep;&ep;When the little thing saw Winfried approaching, it was so frightened that its body trembled. It waved its short hands and feet wildly, trying to get up from the ground, but its body was too round and it would not be able to roll over for a while.

&ep;&ep;I can only scream.

&ep;&ep;“A strange thing.” Winfried reached out and pinched the fine hair on the head of the little thing, and held the little thing in his hand. It looked like it was only the size of a palm.

&ep;&ep;“Jigujigu!”

&ep;&ep;The little thing shook its body and tried to struggle, but it was in vain.

&ep;&ep; "It has light yellow fluff and a round body. What kind of species is this?" Winfried carefully recalled the memories left by his predecessor. He couldn't remember for a while whether he had any impressions of this creature. "I feel like I've seen it before, but where exactly did I see it?"

&ep;&ep;“Jigujigu!” The little thing is still struggling.

&ep;&ep; He saw that the little thing had no lethality, so he simply held it in his hands and played with it. The fur felt very good. The small mouth is long and open, with two rows of thin teeth inside, but the bite does not hurt, and no poison is felt - high elves are very sensitive to toxins and have special constitutions, so they are not easily poisoned.

&ep;&ep;To put it more carefully, high elves are handsome, have keen senses, are physically resistant to poison, have transcendent wisdom, possess magic and martial arts, and can control the powerful power of order. They are simply a perfect species.

&ep;&ep;No wonder it can rule the earth for countless years and firmly occupy the supreme power of the Elf Empire with a small population.

&ep;&ep;"Jigu..." I don't know if he accepted his fate. After struggling to no avail, the little thing quickly calmed down and just kept looking at Winfried with his big eyes.

&ep;&ep; Winfried found it interesting, so he asked to himself: "What do you see me doing?"

&ep;&ep;Who knew that the little thing would use his stubby arms to point to the side. It only has three fingers, all of which are plump. One of them is standing up and the other two are curled up, which looks very funny.

&ep;&ep;“Huh?”

&ep;&ep;“Jigujigu.”

&ep;&ep; "Huh?" Winfried was a little confused. He turned around and looked at where the little thing was pointing, which was just a layer of dead leaves. "What do you want to express?"

&ep;&ep; "Chi-gu chi-gu." The little thing retracted his hand, then made a gesture of grabbing something, and then stuffed it into his mouth.

&ep;&ep;This is a very clear action - eating.

&ep;&ep;“You want to eat? Is there something on the ground that you want to eat?”

&ep;&ep;The little thing suddenly grinned: "Jigujigu!"

"Interesting." Winfried also smiled slightly, then grabbed a small object with one hand, scratched the ground with the other, and picked up a dead leaf, "Is this what you want to eat?"

&ep;&ep;The little thing shook his head.

&ep;&ep;He picked up another piece of rotten wood: "This?"

&ep;&ep;The little thing is still shaking his head.

&ep;&ep;He grabbed another handful of moss-like things: "Where is this?"

&ep;&ep;No, the little thing still shook its head, as if it thought Winfried was too stupid. It stretched out its hand and pointed into the pile of dead leaves: "Chi-ku-chi-ku!"

&ep;&ep;With a trace of curiosity, Winfried pulled apart the pile of dead leaves randomly, and there was a ball of rosin that fell from nowhere underneath.

&ep;&ep;When he saw this piece of rosin, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

&ep;&ep;I quickly recalled where I had seen a similar little thing before, and then my eyes lit up and I stared at the little thing for a while: "It's amazing, it turned out to be a resin elf!"

&ep;&ep;“Jigujigu?”

&ep;&ep;The resin elf was confused and wondered why Winfried stopped helping it find food.

&ep;&ep;Winfried has already begun to recall relevant information. Resin elves are a magical species. As the name suggests, they are strange creatures born from resin. So far, the high elves do not know how resin gave birth to resin elves, and they cannot classify resin elves.

&ep;&ep;It is named Elf just because it is magical enough and is not a species of the genus Elf.

&ep;&ep;Resin elves are very rare, and are generally divided into three varieties according to the source of their breeding. One is the rosin elves derived from pine resin, the other is the cypress elves derived from cypress resin, and the other is the elves bred from other resinous trees, collectively called Koba elves.

&ep;&ep;There is no doubt that the resin elf captured by Winfried was a pine resin elf.

&ep;&ep;Only pine trees secrete resin around here.

&ep;&ep;“My predecessor once visited the territory of the Mingyi family where my mother was born, and saw a related high elf carrying a Koba elf with him. It was a resin elf bred from peach gum. But it’s not round, but long and thin, and it’s said to be able to feed insects.”

&ep;&ep;Resin elves are so rare that there is almost no relevant information in the knowledge inheritance received by Winfried’s predecessor.

&ep;&ep;There are countless magical species in nature. No matter how long a tall elf lives, he cannot understand all species clearly.

&ep;&ep;"Resin Elf, little guy, what strange abilities do you have?" Winfried was very happy to know the species of the little thing. This magical species is much more valuable than a piece of amber. "If I remember correctly, resin elves can make contracts."

&ep;&ep;“Jigu?” The rosin elf blinked, and then pointed at the ball of rosin on the ground.

&ep;&ep;Picked up the rosin ball and handed it to the rosin elf. The rosin elf immediately hugged the rosin ball, grinned, and started chewing.

&ep;&ep; Winfried, on the other hand, tried to use the power of order and began to use the contract.

&ep;&ep;High elves master complex contract arcana, which is one of the ways to apply the power of order. It is said that some high elves feel that the contract arcana should be classified into a separate category, becoming the eighth faction - the contract system, after the protection system, the conjuration system, the prophecy system, the enchantment system, the illusion system, the necromancy system, and the transformation system.

&ep;&ep;However, the research branch of contract arcana is relatively rare, and there are not many complex application classifications. Therefore, it is not included in a separate faction, but only exists as a general arcana.

&ep;&ep;Soon.

&ep;&ep;A shining pattern belonging to the contract condensed in the palm of Winfried's hand. He gently touched his palm on the head of the resin elf, and the contract pattern instantly flew from the palm into the body of the resin elf.

&ep;&ep;“Jigu?”

&ep;&ep;The resin elf raised his head and blinked his big eyes.

&ep;&ep;The next moment, a wonderful connection was formed between Winfried and the pine resin elf. This connection reminded him of the contractual connection between himself and the tree shepherd Giroud.

&ep;&ep;A direct bridge between souls.
