The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick-Chapter 411: You Dare to Capture Elves in Your Home?
In the backyard of the Kravina mansion, the Divine Tree standing amidst miles of lush greenery began to deteriorate at a visible speed.
Emerald leaves were replaced by withered yellow ones, scattering in the azure sky like spots of fallen foliage.
Under the cover of withered leaves, the intricate branches that extended into the clouds gradually shrank.
Energy flowed within the spiritual tree, converging toward the heart of the tree.
The dense branches that resembled a woven net drooped down, lowering their upright posture, breaking and collapsing.
The sturdy trunk also began to collapse, with natural energy flowing over its surface.
But the bark fell like pieces of stone debris sinking into the mound, exposing the shriveled and pale trunk to the eyes of the elves who gazed through the withered leaves.
The elves kneeling in prayer before the Divine Tree were stunned at the sight before them.
Eyes widened, bodies slightly leaning back, looking at everything before them in disbelief.
The Divine Tree, withering?
Throughout these thousand years, although the Divine Tree had once been burned down, it had never withered.
In their impression, the Divine Tree should be immortal.
The elves looked at the fallen leaves drifting before their eyes, along with the continuously falling withered branches and shriveled bark, feeling a sense of daze.
It was as if only the mound where the Divine Tree stood had been touched by autumn and winter ahead of time.
As more and more bark piled up before their eyes, the elves felt increasingly powerless.
They lowered their heads one by one, their eyes hollow, tears flowing endlessly.
But what use was crying?
They could only watch helplessly as the Divine Tree approached destruction.
Even though the Divine Tree before them wasn't the true Yade Divine Tree, which still stood in the Elven Forest.
However, this Divine Tree in the garden of the Kravina mansion was equally a spiritual support for them.
It was still the Divine Tree they needed to worship.
The elves fell into silence, with the howling storm of withered branches and leaves in their ears.
But suddenly, a flash of emerald green appeared in their hollow peripheral vision.
Space began to distort, slowly stretching to both sides, and under the power of nothingness, a portal appeared out of thin air.
Ripples spread across the surface of the emerald magic, and a robe covered with leaves emerged from it first.
Vinia held a slender wooden staff in her hand, with a circular ring at the top of the slightly curved staff.
She walked out of the portal with light steps.
The moment those blank-faced elves saw Vinia, light appeared in their hollow eyes, as if they had seen a ray of hope.
They all turned around and respectfully called out to Vinia:
"High Priestess."
Since Cocotte had created a bridge between Kravina and the Elven Forest that allowed free travel between the two worlds,
The High Priestess frequently appeared in the human world.
As soon as she appeared, she saw the elves standing dazed in front of the Divine Tree.
The emotional state of her kin seemed somewhat bad.
After nodding to the elves, she looked around, wanting to know what had happened.
Suddenly, a withered yellow leaf fell on her shoulder, and Vinia was slightly startled.
She gently picked up the leaf with her hand, and the withered yellow leaf dispersed like ash in her hand.
A bad premonition rose in her heart, and Vinia turned back with a slight tremor.
This sight made her feel quite unwell.
She widened her eyes, her finger trembling as she pointed at the massive Divine Tree with its falling bark and branches, and her mouth also began to quiver.
Wait, what's going on?
She had lived for so long, but had never seen the Divine Tree wither!
No wonder the elves were in a bad mood; now her mood had turned bad too.
Something terrible had happened!
Alarm bells rang in Vinia's heart, and her ears stood up.
There was only one possibility for such a thing happening to the Divine Tree: it was because there was no more natural energy.
She quickly called out to the elves with a trembling voice:
"What are you standing there for? Go find someone quickly."
The elves looked at each other, appearing at a loss.
Who should they go find?
The elves, who had lived in a comfortable and peaceful environment for years, hadn't used their brains for a long, long time.
Now, even in the face of crisis, they had forgotten who they should seek to solve the problem.
Since the High Priestess said to go find someone, who should they go find?
Oh right!
The lady of Kravina!
After realizing this, the elves rushed in great numbers toward the Kravina mansion.
...
At this moment, two young girls were moving between the buildings of the Kravina mansion.
Zora followed behind Lia, touring the ancient residence of the Kravina family's old home.
An exquisitely carved vase stood on a pedestal, and Zora examined the craftsmanship of the vase carefully, unable to help but express her admiration.
What a beautiful vase.
Zora looked at the vase from left to right, while Lia watched her with a smile:
"This is an antique vase gifted by Duke Levi, isn't it in good condition?"
Since Duke Levi's daughter, Erica, became a third-level mage,
The du Cloye family often sent various precious and rare antiques or valuable items to the Kravina mansion.
Lia knew that all of these were thanks to Viktor's efforts.
So she accepted them with a clear conscience.
When Zora heard Duke Levi's name, she wasn't surprised.
The empire's Duke Levi also had cooperation with the trading association.
Basically, many of the antiques sold by the trading association were provided by Duke Levi.
She didn't know where this duke got so many treasures from.
Lia, seeing Zora somewhat lost in thought, suggested:
"Miss Zora, why don't you have lunch at the Kravina mansion?"
"In the afternoon, we can visit the firearms factory in Bryston."
The interest in appreciating the vase was replaced by the firearms factory, and Zora immediately looked up at Lia, quickly saying:
"Of course, I have plenty of time!"
If we're talking about this, she wasn't tired at all.
Suddenly, the mansion began to shake.
Lia and Zora felt the vibration and looked around for the source.
The windows rattled loudly from the shaking, and the two quickly grabbed the surrounding vases to prevent these valuable items from falling and breaking.
Then, the doors were suddenly pushed open to both sides, and a group of elves poured into the mansion, falling over one another onto the floor.
"Miss Lia, Miss Lia..."
"Something's happened! Something terrible has happened!"
A group of elves raised their watery eyes to look at Lia, their eyes full of sadness and grievance.
Seeing these helpless elves, Lia couldn't help but feel puzzled and hurried forward.
"Don't panic, tell me one by one."
"What exactly happened?"
The elves, who were originally leisurely and only needed to produce some natural energy, now appeared in complete disarray.
They even made Lia feel a bit panicked, fearing that something major had happened.
At this time, Zora also followed Lia forward.
When she saw the elves with their long pointed ears all over the floor, her eyes widened.
Words of shock escaped her lips:
"You even dare to capture elves in your home!?"
...
Lia followed behind the anxious elves with a grave expression.
She knew that Viktor had gone to the Divine Tree with Cocotte.
But now, according to the elves, something serious had happened at the Divine Tree.
What about Viktor? Could Viktor be in trouble?
Upon hearing this news, Lia's heart felt as if it had been scalded by hot water, and she urgently urged the elves to walk faster.
Zora barely kept up behind them, trotting along, looking at Lia's back, feeling even more embarrassed.
She thought a bit while on the way,
The idea of capturing elves was too absurd.
Anyone with common sense would know that offending or angering elves would lead to no good outcome.
Thinking of the elf Viktor was holding before, who was said to be the Elf Queen,
She wasn't surprised by the presence of elves in the Kravina household anymore.
But what exactly had happened that could make Lia so anxious?
While she was still pondering, suddenly, the massive Divine Tree came into view.
Zora couldn't help but stop in her tracks, raising her head, staring blankly ahead:
"My goodness..."
She opened her mouth wide, her language ability somewhat out of control.
In front of her were countless elves, with their backs to her.
They had their hands clasped together, arms closed, facing the massive Divine Tree with closed eyes, as if in prayer.
Emerald energy surged from within them, rising to the sky, gathering on the Divine Tree.
Under the nourishment of these natural forces, the broken and collapsing Divine Tree seemed to be covered with a magical light.
Sunlight shone, and the golden intricate branches and trunk were enveloped in light.
The Divine Tree, covered in golden light, now flowed with waves of emerald color.
The gnarled golden roots became ethereal but still sank into the mound, turning up the soil.
Under the heavenly light, the golden Divine Tree swayed gently.
Vinia's expression was solemn as she held her wooden staff above her head, reciting prayers.
Green light released from the staff, illuminating the base of the Divine Tree.
Orderly prayers echoed in the backyard, and the faint light above Vinia's head gradually flickered, merging into the elven Divine Tree.
As the prayer ended, Vinia opened her eyes, looking at the Divine Tree gradually regaining vitality.
She could sense that the energy inside the Divine Tree had somehow been completely drained.
"This... how is this possible..."
"Hehe, nothing's impossible, right?"
A somewhat playful voice sounded, and Vinia was somewhat incredulous; this voice was too familiar to her.
She quickly looked in the direction of the voice.
At some point, Viktor had appeared near the Divine Tree.
He was holding Cocotte in his arms.
And Cocotte seemed to have no strength at all, even one arm was drooping.
She lay limply in Viktor's arms, like a useless thing.
But the expression on her face appeared quite smug.
Vinia looked at the long-absent Cocotte with surprise:
"You..."
Cocotte raised her eyes, the golden light emanating from the Divine Tree seemed to envelop her.
She looked at Vinia with a smile, asking expectantly:
"Hmm? Have you noticed something different about me?"
Vinia blurted out:
"How come you're not sleeping at this time today?"
"..."
Cocotte was about to say she had slept for half a month and almost died from it.
But Vinia didn't seem to know about her half-month sleep, so after thinking about it, she decided not to mention it.
It wasn't that she didn't want others to worry; she just felt she would be severely mocked.
So she closed her mouth and didn't speak.
At this moment, Zora was standing on the grass illuminated by golden light, her eyes filled with flashing gold.
She was so shocked by the scene before her that she lost her voice, her mind in chaos. Her heart surged with tremendous waves.
What exactly had happened?
Zora instinctively looked for Lia, only to find that Lia had already walked toward the Divine Tree.
She passed through the many elves and came to Vinia:
"So, is the problem solved?"
