Diablo Destruction

Chapter 763-Chapter 767 Greedy Alice

Although he successfully sent the big-mouthed Malagbi to become a Buddha, he still had no clue about the most important thing, finding the little ghost.

Seeing that the sun was about to go down, I looked at the red sky and the dense jungle above my head. I had to admit that this search for the little ghost was a failure, and... by the way, there was a lost person. .

Fortunately, not long after, I met some enthusiastic elves who sent me to a place where I could recognize the road, thus avoiding the revelation that the prince of the elves was a road crazy on the third day of my wedding.

Could it be that that stupid ghost has returned home and is waiting for him at home?

With this kind of doubt that I can't even fool myself, I walked quickly towards the Crystal Tree Square. As for why I said I couldn't even fool myself, that's because generally speaking, once this sentence comes into the mind of the seeker, it is 100% The person you are looking for cannot wait at home for you to come back... This is what the novel and anime say.

Of course, I’m not worried about Silly Ghost’s safety. Through soul interlocking, I can feel that she is very safe now, and she seems...still full?

Not quite sure how to feel this dumbfounding feeling, I couldn't help but force my whole face into the word "囧", then quickened my pace, and soon arrived at the Crystal Tree, not bothering to walk around those tangled roots. Go up, jump up, and arrive near the door of the house in a few jumps.

"Xiaofan, too slow!!"

I opened the door obediently, and a white figure rushed towards me savagely. In other words, she wasn't worried at all about my sudden whim, and she flashed to the side like that? Presumably the height of more than 100 meters outside the door would make this prank full of comedy.

Thinking back on it, I still couldn't bear to let this little fool get any harm, so I stretched out my hands and hugged the little ghost whose head was turned straight into my arms.

"You little fool, where did you go today? You gave me a good meal."

I pinched that soft and smooth face, and I was so angry that I couldn't bring myself to punish him. I couldn't help but stare in anger at my pampering behavior.

"No."

Lifting his head from his arms, the little ghost's eyes were full of confusion.

"I've been staying near the Crystal Tree all day today."

Near the Crystal Tree?

I was stunned for a moment, and then I exclaimed.

I thought that if the little ghost was just playing, it would go far away, so I searched everywhere, but I didn't expect that this elusive luminous body would hang around near my home.

The famous sayings of the revolutionary predecessors do not deceive me. The more dangerous the place, the safer it is. After arriving in the third world, I might as well make a small nest in the Chaos Refuge or the Throne of Destruction.

"..."

Well, I know, there must be some guys thinking in their minds just now, "Don't compare the wisdom of the Three Demon Gods with idiots like you." That's absolutely true, you bastard! !

"What are you doing around here?"

I couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when I heard that the little ghost was near the Crystal Tree. On the Crystal Tree, apart from my home and Artoria's, there was only Elder Arlandland.

No matter how bold this luminous body is, it would not dare to provoke a scary guy like Yalandlan. Although the little ghost is indeed nearly ten times older than Yalandlan, I can be sure that Yalandlan Delan's wisdom is definitely more than ten times higher than the "appearance" side of the little ghost.

Therefore, even if she goes to Yalandlan, she will definitely not make any big waves. Thinking of this, I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It's okay if she doesn't cause trouble. It's okay if she doesn't cause trouble.

"No, I didn't do anything. I just walked around."

The little ghost's silver eyes turned around a few times, and when he got into my arms, he was like a yawning person finding a pillow. She was tired of it and refused to leave, no matter what, but now, she jumped out of my arms, sat down on the chair next to me, calmly poured a cup of tea, and started sipping it with her nose and nose in mind.

There is a problem. There is definitely something wrong with her extremely calm look. For a moment, my heart that had just been put down was raised again. I was about to continue to ask questions when I was suddenly interrupted by a rapid knock on the door. dialogue.

Then, a beautiful female elf archer walked in from the outside. Her eyes, which always had the calm and arrogant look unique to the elves, showed a hint of confusion. She bowed respectfully to me. , and hurriedly entered Artoria's study.

What happened?

Out of curiosity, I couldn't help but enter Artoria's study together. It happened that the female demon archer wanted to report to Artoria.

"Your Majesty, it's not good."

Taking a step forward and half-kneeling on the ground, the female elf raised her head and cast her extremely respectful gaze on Arturia, the king of the elves she admired and looked up to behind the desk.

"What happened, Tanny?"

Gently putting down the quill in her hand, a majestic and calm aura radiated from Artoria. The powerful contagious power made the female elf archer named Tanni, who was half kneeling on the ground, gradually calm down. , his body shook, and he replied loudly.

"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen, when we were patrolling the Crystal Tree just now, my team and I discovered that a branch of the Crystal Tree had been cut off. We initially suspected that it had been stolen."

Speaking of this, Tanni frowned. This was something that was impossible in the past, because all elves regarded the crystal tree as a sacred object, and no one would commit such a sacrilegious act.

But things are different now. Because of the wedding, the Elf King City is mixed with many other races. Facing the sacred objects of the Elf clan, these guys don't have any psychological burden.

"Are you sure it was an unnatural break, or that the crystal tree didn't fall off on its own?" Artoria's heroic brow furrowed slightly when she heard this.

Similar to ordinary trees, at a certain time every year, the Crystal Tree will also shed some old branches to allow new branches and leaves to grow smoothly, and the fallen branches and leaves will be used by the elves, such as Attis. The queen gave Artoria a statue carved from the wood of the Crystal Tree, using fallen branches of the Crystal Tree.

However, the energy on the Crystal Tree is very stable and its lifespan is very long, so very few parts fall off automatically every year. Although the Crystal Tree is really too big, even a very small amount is as thick as an elephant. The weight is measured in tons, but one cannot help but hundreds of millions of elves want it. Therefore, the larger branches are often divided by the elders, nobles and prestigious art masters, and the common people can only get scattered parts, such as a leaf. .

But even so, for tens of thousands of years, no elf has been brave enough to attack the Crystal Tree.

"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen, I can guarantee with my life that it is absolutely man-made."

Tanni responded firmly, but a look of confusion flashed across her eyes.

"How much was stolen? Any clues?"

Arturia carefully put the confusion that flashed in the other person's eyes into her heart, and then continued to ask, the act of stealing the Crystal Tree is small, after all, the size of the Crystal Tree is just there. When the giant dragon comes, at most it can only get a larger branch to carry back, which is not even a drop in the bucket for the entire Crystal Tree.

But it is big, because the crystal tree is a sacred object of the elves. No matter how small it is, it cannot be defiled by others.

"The portion is not much, only a small piece as thick as a thigh, just...just..."

Tanni's expression became more and more confused, as if there was something she couldn't figure out, or something she couldn't believe, and she didn't dare to report it to Artoria easily.

"If you have any doubts, just ask."

Sensing Tanni's hesitation, Artoria smiled slightly, with a warm and irresistible softness and majesty in her smile.

"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen, that's it. From the traces on the section, I found a clue, but...but..., alas, there are tooth marks on the section. After preliminary judgment, , it should have been bitten off."

Tanni sighed softly and came quietly. Now even I knew why she hesitated to say anything just now.

He put the weapon away properly, but then bit it with his teeth. Do you think the person who stole the branch did it because he was full and had nothing to do, or did he do it to grind his teeth?

Huh?

teeth? bite? Crystal tree?

These words flashed through my mind one by one, as if a small hole had opened, allowing me to glimpse a glimpse of the real scenery on the other side.

Could it be...

Sweat was pouring out, soaking my back, and the wind was chilling my heart.

Then, I turned around mechanically and looked at the little ghost with his back turned to me.

"Hiccup~~"

A satisfying burp came out, and then the little ghost hurriedly covered his mouth with his two small hands, turned back and smiled at me.

"Too much tea."

Then he turned around with a guilty conscience, drank a cup of tea like a rainbow piercing the sun, and burped again.

Suddenly, a thumb-sized luminous object came out of the wide sleeves of her priest's robe and fell on the table. The little ghost quickly picked it up with her fingers, and subconsciously threw it into her mouth like eating fried peanuts. , making a rustling chewing sound like a little squirrel eating pine cones, and then made a gurgling sound in the throat, swallowed it, and then burped for the third time. He touched his slender and flat belly, looking satisfied.

I:"……"

Little ghost: "..."

At this time, shouldn't we immediately put this stupid saint back into the necklace and run away in fear of crime?

Arturia and Tanni were still discussing this matter, and it seemed that they had no intention of letting the thief go... To be precise, he should be eating his head first. After looking at the two of them, After looking at the little ghost who was pretending to be calm, I sighed helplessly.

"Um...Captain Tanni, can you step aside for a moment so that Artoria and I can discuss something?"

Giving the little ghost a fierce look, I took a step forward and interrupted the conversation between the two people.

Tanni was stunned and glanced at Artoria.

"I guess there won't be any clues about this matter for a while. Tanni, let's see if you can find any other clues. From now on, five hidden patrol teams will be added to patrol the Crystal Tree to secretly monitor the vicinity of the Crystal Tree. Every move is made to see if the perpetrator can be caught.”

Arturia nodded and made the final conclusion.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen!"

Standing up straight and saluting, Tanni turned around, bowed respectfully to me again, and strode away.

"Fan, what do you think about this matter?"

Watching Tanni leave, I turned around and saw Arturia looking at me with her beautiful eyes that seemed to penetrate people's hearts.

"Uh...well, actually about this matter..."

I hesitated and looked at Artoria, not knowing how to speak. No matter how I spoke, it was very embarrassing.

"By the way, do you remember the night we got married? That's when I accidentally took out the statue you gave me, and what Alice did after seeing the statue."

After thinking about it, I decided to use a roundabout policy to avoid any embarrassment.

Arturia, who has a superb memory, nodded as soon as I finished speaking, and then her eyes froze, as if she had thought of something, and she looked at me with a hint of surprise.

"Fan, you mean..."

"Yeah, if it's really a tooth bite, I think that's it."

With a wry smile, I turned around and shouted at the little ghost who was quietly opening the door and planning to flee in fear of crime.

"Hey, you good thief, where are you going?"

When the little ghost heard this, his delicate body trembled, and then he turned around and made a naughty face at me, and responded in a cute and crisp voice.

"You are a lackey of the government, you can leave whenever you want from the Sa family. The world is so big, how can you not hide a living member of the Sa family?"

Damn it, this guy got it right? !

My eyes widened immediately, and I watched blankly as the little ghost slipped away from the door.

It seems that you really can't instill too much useless knowledge into this little saint, as this will only increase her level of complaints.

A moment later, the suspect... no, it should be said to be the prisoner, the prisoner Alice, was recaptured after a minute of absconding.

Hum, you are so naive, you don’t even know what your profession is, and you are a humanoid luminous body that is conspicuous everywhere. Can you escape from the palm of me as a druid?

"Idiot, why don't you admit your mistake quickly and seek leniency?"

In front of Artoria, I pressed the little one's head and forced her to lower her head.

"I'm sorry, little Arturia."

The little ghost who feels that he is doomed has to admit his guilt obediently. Yes, yes, that's it. As long as you have a good attitude towards admitting your mistake, I can still try my best to excuse you.

"I shouldn't have eaten so much, I accidentally overstretched myself."

As she spoke, Alice touched her slender belly, showing an aggrieved look.

"Are you deliberately looking for trouble, you idiot?!!"

The next moment, the Sixth Form of the Thousand Buddha Hands was aimed at the little ghost's elastic face and started to rub it.

"Forget it, Fan, it's not a big deal."

Arturia, who was standing by, couldn't bear to see it, and finally spoke.

"But... the crystal tree is your sacred object..."

"Well, that's what I said, but Alice doesn't have any ill intentions, she just wants to satisfy her hunger...sigh..."

As she spoke, Artoria didn't know what expression to show. People who have never seen a little ghost would never be able to imagine that this little guy actually eats diamonds as snacks, and now he has set his sights on the Crystal Tree. .

It's really... Let's put it this way, should I say it's a good appetite?

"Forget it this time, it's just..."

Glancing at the little ghost with warm eyes, Artoria smiled.

"It's just that we can't do it again in the future."

"Wow!!"

The little ghost let out her signature short exclamation, with a troubled look on her pretty face.

"You [Wow!!] are so big, do you still want to have a next time?!!"

I immediately slapped her with a sword and then turned around.

"Don't worry, Artoria, I will keep a close eye on this guy these days and I will never let her succeed again."

"Woo~~Xiaofan~~"

Hum, it's no use even if you moan and act coquettishly.

"Hawu~~I bite~~"

Huh, even if you bite me, it won't happen.

"..."

Bleeding! Really bleeding! The health points are going down, you bastard! ! If that's the case, I'll let you taste the power of my [True Thousand Buddha's Hands]! !

"However, it's not impossible."

Watching me and the little ghost playing around, Arturia suddenly spoke up again, and then our movements froze in mid-air, staring at her blankly.

"Uh...what do you mean?"

My brain couldn't understand and I asked stupidly.

"In other words, there is no way that Alice can eat as much as she wants."

Arturia couldn't explain it more clearly.

"Really...is it really possible? But...but isn't the Crystal Tree your sacred object? Is it really okay for you to do this?"

I looked at Artoria with disbelief and asked - I believe that no one would let others eat the sacred objects of their own clan as snacks.

"I can't eat much anyway. If it makes Alice happy, I think the Crystal Tree will be happy too."

Arturia smiled calmly and gave her answer.

"However, if you want to obtain consent, you must get the permission of Arlandran, who is responsible for guarding the Crystal Tree."

"Xiaofan~~Xiaofan~~"

The little ghost kept pulling on my sleeves with urgent eyes, begging.

"You, don't you have enough diamonds?"

Unable to refuse the little ghost's pitiful pleading eyes, I covered my forehead with a headache and said helplessly.

"A diamond is a diamond, and a crystal tree is a crystal tree. How can they be confused?"

The little ghost said matter-of-factly.

"..."

Oh my god~~, even if there is a crystal tree in love, diamonds still have to be eaten...
