"……All right."

Latis looked at the overly friendly World Tree tendrils with some tension, took a deep breath, and firmly extended his hand to Ateliers.

"Let's go see the last city of Herod."

On Qingming Festival, I went to pay respects at Simmel's grave. (A set of 1000 thank-you photos has been uploaded to the group chat.)

Chapter 370 The Blessed Land of the Elves

A few dragonflies, their magic essence condensed, lingered on the turquoise water. With a flap of their wings, they vanished from their spots, only to reappear a few seconds later on a cloud iris.

Latis silently stepped onto the sand beside the stream, bent down, glanced at the slightly trembling thin wings of the magic dragonfly, and asked with some curiosity:

"I've never understood why magic essence condenses into different forms, and why some magic essence condensates, or magic spirits, even have special effects. Why is that?"

Artemis removed her hood, slowly breathing in the vibrant air, and said with a soft smile:

"The existence of magic essence is already very incredible. The elders in my clan once told me that when magic essence is aggregated to a certain extent, it will exhibit special properties, somewhat like a process of quantitative change leading to qualitative change."

"Simply put, magic essence is a basic component of the world, not just a simple particle floating in the air. Therefore, when magic essence gathers, it is very likely to randomly manifest certain properties of the world, such as dragonflies, birds, rabbits..."

“I see, that sounds amazing.” Latis watched the half-elf leap gracefully across the stream from the other side, smiled slightly, and then walked upstream along the stream.

"These were probably carved out by the tendrils of the World Tree in the demiplane..." Ateliers said, looking at the stream and jungle beside her, her feelings somewhat complicated.

“These things were not originally in the Blessed Land. It seems that after the World Tree’s tendrils fell into the demiplane, the Blessed Land has extended outwards along the gradually expanding space.”

"So what exactly is this Land of Blessings?" Latis asked curiously as he led the half-elf up a steep slope.

“Hmm… for elves, the Blessed Land is a place that can enhance their bloodline power,” Artemis blinked and said.

“Big brother, didn’t I tell you before that among young half-elf, it’s easy for them to stop developing because their bloodline power is stuck at a certain limit? In that case, besides slowly increasing their level with age and cultivation, there is another way: to enter the Land of Blessings.”

"Huh? The Land of Blessed Virtues can help elf cubs enhance their bloodline power?" Radist was immediately surprised and asked, "How is that possible? Could it be that one can pick some kind of magical potion that enhances bloodline power here?"

"no."

Artemis shook her head, her gaze following the winding stream towards its source, and said softly:

"In the Land of Blessed Virtues, there are all kinds of magical spirits. When a young elf encounters them and gains their approval in his own way, the magical spirit will transform into pure magical essence and be injected into the elf's bloodline, thereby enhancing the young elf's bloodline power."

Latis imagined the scene in his mind and was immediately shocked:

"So powerful! Does that mean if the Herod people go to the Land of Blessed Land a few more times, they can advance to Legendary status without any pain?"

“Silly brother,” Arterifus said, somewhat amused.

"There's no such thing as a free lunch! The power of the Blessed Land is too great. If a young elf is just trying to break through the bottleneck of his bloodline, that's fine. But if it's an adult elf or an elf who has entered the Blessed Land many times, he or she can easily gain bloodline power beyond his control in an instant, and thus become lost in this place."

"Lost?" Latis was taken aback.

"Yes, we hybrid elves do not have the same complete natural heart as pure-blooded elves. Although this gives us emotions and cultivation abilities that surpass those of pure-blooded elves, we are also more likely to get lost in nature."

Artemis shook her head and continued:

"When the Herods accidentally obtain bloodline power beyond their control, the most likely outcome is not that they become stronger, but that they become humanoid beasts roaming the forest."

"Hiss..." Radist gasped, then suddenly remembered something and quickly asked:

"Arte, didn't you say before that you experienced a similar effect after using the seed I gave you? Now..."

"It seems like I'm no longer affected." The half-elf touched his chest, blinked, and said, "Maybe it's because my heart is filled with my elder brother, so I won't get lost anymore."

"Oh, you little rascal."

Latis sighed and ruffled Ateliers's hair, saying:

"Anyway, if anything seems unusual afterward, be sure to tell me immediately, okay?"

"Understood!" The half-elf nodded vigorously, hopped forward half a step, glanced back at Latis amidst the subtle spatial turbulence, smiled, smoothed a strand of silver hair behind her ear, and said to the approaching Latis:

"Speaking of this, I've heard the elders in my clan mention legends about the magic element before!"

"Oh? What legend?" Latis asked, scratching his head.

"That is to say, according to legend, apart from long-lived species or higher beings like us, the higher one's affinity for magic elements, the longer one's lifespan will be. A very typical example is Lady Oriana. This is probably a result of the qualitative change caused by the aggregation of magic elements..."

"Huh? Human lifespan is actually related to magic affinity?" Latis was stunned for a moment, and immediately recalled the previous simulation. Even if he filled the Holy Grail and fully activated the Titan bloodline, he could not escape the shackles of lifespan. So it was because his magic affinity was not high enough at that time?

If it really is related to magic affinity, then he only obtained the "Spark" achievement after experiencing the Bone Spirit Realm for the second time, which raised his magic affinity.

Since then, he has not completed a simulation in the manner of dying of old age, so he does not know whether his lifespan has changed.

However, given the current situation, the plans that can be achieved in the near future have not yet been completed. If we were to simulate further into the future, the actual events would inevitably be somewhat distorted, which is not really necessary for the current plans.

Moreover, as his power gradually grows, each simulation inevitably leads to encounters with the Queen who launched the "Magic Network Landing Campaign." Given the Queen's sensitivity to the aura of time and space, it would be virtually impossible for Latis to even attempt to explore the limits of his current lifespan.

I'm really curious how long I can live now...

Latis glanced at the half-elf in front of him and couldn't help but laugh.

That way, we'll know how long we can spend together.

"Big brother, big brother, come quick!"

Artemis stood on tiptoe to gaze into the distance, then excitedly waved to Latis and said:

"The land of ultimate bliss is just ahead!"

"Here we come!" Latis laughed, swinging his long legs to hoist the half-elf onto his back and charge forward at top speed.

The scenery on both sides changed rapidly. Artemis, still half-asleep, clung tightly to Latis's neck, then turned pale with fright.

"Big brother! It's that way!! Don't carry me to crash into a tree!"

……

……

"Hehe, my treasure! My...treasure!"

Doug stroked the roots of the World Tree beside him, wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, and looked ahead in the direction of the roots.

Perhaps because he was flung away while clinging to the roots, he did not appear outside the Land of Blessings. Instead, he landed sprawled out on a large patch of tangled branches, which had formed a huge net about forty or fifty meters wide. It took him a lot of effort to walk to the edge and get down from it.

Although he didn't know exactly where he was, he guessed that the core of this demiplane must be related to the giant root that often appeared in the Senhai Territory. Fortunately, as soon as he landed, he saw the root that extended from a distant place to this place.

"Looks like all I need to do is follow the roots... Hmm? What's this?"

Just as Doug was about to take a step forward, he noticed that a three- or four-meter-long white ball was hanging upside down in the net where the branches he had just fallen from were tangled, swaying from side to side as the branches shook.

He was stunned for a moment, and before he could get closer to take a look, he saw a pair of round, jet-black eyes open at the bottom of the white ball of fluff. Then, eight dark spider legs covered in white hair slowly stretched out from both sides, stretching vigorously for a moment as if they were stretching.

Immediately, the enormous white-haired spider landed on the ground in a very elegant manner, facing him and politely displaying its hairy mouthparts.

……

……

"Oh! Such a refreshing breath of life! Never before has there been such a wonderful start!"

Latis leaned on the railing with both hands, babbling incoherently.

Artemis glanced at him helplessly, walked around the railing for more than ten meters, then gently reached in and opened a gate.

This blessed land looks a bit like a park, and according to Artemis, it really is a park.

There are many wild monsters in the park.

This gave Latis the feeling that he was about to enter a nature reserve park and use his body to make a nest.

Fortunately, Artemis told him, with a mix of amusement and exasperation, that the spirits in the Blessed Land wouldn't attack people on their own initiative, which finally dispelled Latis's hallucination.

"Speaking of which, this is a blessed land for elves, but what about for humans? Will it also enhance their bloodline power?"

Latis walked through the gate into the Blessed Land and asked curiously:

"During the most prosperous years of Herod City, there must have been many humans living there. If someone accidentally wandered into the Blessed Land, what serious consequences would occur?"

"Generally speaking, nothing serious will happen unless that person deliberately provokes the demon..."

The half-elf pondered for a moment, then said uncertainly:

"I vaguely remember hearing about it when I was a child. Someone angered a demon spirit, and their body organs were invaded and transformed into an unstable demonic state. Although the person was fine, the corresponding organs would become ethereal when their physical condition fluctuated afterwards..."

"Wow, that's terrifying?" Latis exclaimed, her eyes widening in surprise.

"Actually, it's not too bad. The person behind him recovered with the help of Herod City. But if that situation were to happen again now, there would be no way to recover."

Artemis shook her head and continued:

"There are downsides, but there are also benefits for humans. If a human can gain the approval of a demon spirit, they can temporarily summon the demon spirit to control its magic essence. This is a very useful aid in areas where magic essence is scarce. However, very few humans can gain the approval of a demon spirit... Hmm?"

She blinked, looked at the squirrel that had suddenly appeared in front of them, standing upright as if it wanted to say something, and bent down to ask curiously:

"Little one, what happened?"

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" The squirrel gestured anxiously, as if something important and urgent had happened.

"Hmm...Eh?"

Artemis opened her eyes wide, turned to look at Latis, and said somewhat uncertainly:

"This little guy said that every time the demiplane stabilizes, a super ferocious demon spirit keeps attacking other demon spirits, causing them great suffering. They have no choice but to exert all their strength to make the demiplane unstable again each time, so that demon spirit can fall silent again..."

"What Hulk..." Latis couldn't help but mutter, then after thinking for a moment, he said:

"So, that demon is about to go berserk again?"

Artemis stroked her chin, squatted down, and spoke a few words with the squirrel. Then she sighed and said:

"Yes, and this time the demiplane drift didn't last long before it overlapped with the continent of Atlantis. These little demons don't have enough magic power to shake the demiplane again, so it will take at least a day to recover their magic power."

"I see. Shall we go help them destroy that demonic spirit?"

Latis picked up the squirrel and placed it in his palm, then pointed at the bewildered squirrel and asked:

"Mouse, it's your turn to show the way."

“In the end, I was the one who gave directions…” Atelier muttered under her breath, then very consciously snuggled into Latis’s arms, hugging him tightly as she said:

"This mouse also said that the path into the core area of ​​the Blessed Land is blocked by demons. How strange, I've never heard of this before..."
