Relying on the Sacred Tree Leaf Boat's extraordinary teleportation ability, the three quickly returned to the Holy Tree.
Nicola very dedicated; even though she was busy, she arranged for an Elf attendant to wait outside the temple for Su Xi and Princess Beatrix to return.
Upon seeing the familiar leaf boat, the Elf attendant hurriedly stepped forward to greet it.
After Princess Beatrix put away Ye Zhou, she took the two of them to find Empress Bai Ya.
Upon meeting Empress Bai Ya, he recounted the events in the forest.
Bai Ya pondered for a moment and said, "Recently, there have indeed been several incidents of magical beasts being contaminated in the forest. I never expected that someone would do it on purpose."
The forest hadn't reported this to her, so Bai Ya assumed the pollution was accidental.
But now even intelligent forest life like Rosalía has been contaminated, which is certainly not a coincidence, and the person who released the pollutants may have mastered the method of shielding the forest.
Rosalía clung tightly to the rose, floating in the air, and said anxiously, "Your Her Majesty the Empress, if that's true, then they were probably the ones who created this pollution!"
"Okay, I understand. I'll arrange for someone to investigate. You all go down and take a bath to cleanse yourselves of the lingering curse aura."
Leave the Administrative Hall.
Princess Beatrix invited Su Xi to her bedroom, which had a purifying flower pool.
Although the curses had no effect on Su Xi still agreed out of curiosity, just to see the princess's room.
Passing through the fragrant corridor where Elemental Sprite frolic, we arrived at a house on the west side of the temple.
The eastern buildings of the Elf Holy Temple are more practical and aesthetically pleasing, so a lot of white jade was used. The western part is the residence of the royal family, with very few white jade buildings; the rooms are all naturally formed.
The princess's bedroom style is completely different from his own.
They probably arranged my room on the east side because I was originally a human.
As Su Xi pondered this, she admired Beatrix's bedroom.
Beatrix's bedroom was quite large, at least 150 square meters. Upon entering, one could see many unknown vines climbing the ceiling, hanging with purple flowers, and shining with a light no less bright than an oil lamp.
The room was furnished no differently from a regular room, except that the tables and chairs were all fixed to the floor and could not be moved.
Through the room's window, one can see the exquisite residential area of the noble elves outside.
Thinking about the view from outside my room of the Under Sacred Tree City, the streets filled with commoners and merchants...
It has to be said that this Elf Empress put a lot of thought into even arranging the rooms.
The arrangement of this room was intended to allow commoners to see the saintess's room every day, and even have the opportunity to see her open the window. To the commoner elves, the spokesperson for the Holy Tree might be more important than the princess.
The windows of Beatrix's room face the residential area of the noble elves.
This means that the successor of the Elf race is still Beatrix Andomir.
"People who have lived for hundreds of years possess a different kind of wisdom..."
Su Xi looked at the exquisite villa outside and murmured to herself.
After waiting for a while, Princess Beatrix walked out of the bathing room, looking radiant.
"Your Highness, it's time for your bath~"
"Good."
Su Xi withdrew her gaze and walked towards the bathing room.
Only after entering the bathhouse did Su Xi ask through the wooden door, puzzled, "Beatrix, why is there only one huge flower in the bathhouse?"
There was no magical shower equipment inside, nor was there a petal bath that had been prepared beforehand.
When I first heard Beatrix say something about purifying the flower bed, I thought it was a bathtub filled with flower petals, but now it seems that's not the case at all.
"Your Highness, place your clothes on the Water Bell Flower on the wall, and they will wash them for you. Then walk to the Radiance Flower in the middle, and the light will automatically cleanse your body," Beatrix's voice rang out from outside the door.
Su Xi saw four blue flowers growing on the wall, somewhat like lilies, filled with water.
"It looks like a plant that has mastered the element of water..."
Su Xi muttered to herself as she put the clothes she had taken off into the container, one by one.
The shoes don't need to be washed; just leave them by the door.
Then, somewhat hesitantly, he stepped on the petals lying on the ground.
The main problem was that she didn't know how to use the flower to take a bath.
We came to the center of the flower's heart.
It has six stamens around it that feel similar to cotton.
Su Xi suddenly felt her feet sink, the flower bed she was stepping on softened, and then she felt a suction force coming from the soles of her feet, making it difficult to lift her feet.
The petals that had been lying limply on the ground stood upright.
The Su Xi, located in the center of the flower, is wrapped up to form a huge flower bud.
The water in the shower slowly overflowed from my feet until it reached my shoulders, and then the water level stopped rising.
Then, the cotton-like flower stamens began to wash over Su Xi's body...
"Is this what life is like for a princess? Even taking a bath is so luxurious..."
Su Xi was speechless.
This water seems to have purifying power; it's so damn luxurious...
Although this bathing method was indeed high-end, Su Xi recalled those decadent memories, and two words floated through her mind: swallowing... tentacles...
Half an hour later.
This is the slowest shower Su Xi has ever taken in her life.
If the Radiance Flower hadn't given out, Su Xi would have wanted to continue bathing; the feeling of being served was simply wonderful.
Take the clothes out of the Water Bell Flower and put them on.
Upon opening the wooden door, Princess Beatrix was already asleep, lying on a wicker chair with a book in her hand.
Rosalía also wanted to wash, but the Radiance Flower was already exhausted, so she could only wait for Radiance Flower to recover.
"Ahem, since you can't take a bath yet, you can stay here with Princess Beatrix. I'll take you out to level up when we go on a mission," Su Xi said a little embarrassedly.
"Yes, Master." Rosalía bowed very respectfully, indicating that she would obey your wishes.
It's just that it's too small, and it has to hold the flower with its other hand, so it looks a bit comical when it makes movements.
Su Xi returned to her room.
Bring out all the rewards.
"Let's do it one at a time, starting with the skill books."
Su Xi placed the five [Random Rare Skill Books for This Profession] in front of her and opened them all at once.
"Ding! [Random Rare Skill Book for Your Class] successfully unlocked. Congratulations on obtaining [Forbidden Curse Lv.1], [Burning Affection Lv.1], [Witch's Favor Lv.1], [Rosevine Whip Lv.1], and [Decoy Grass Doll Lv.1]."
Two new skills and three old skills, not bad.
Su Xi learned these skill books.
[Forbidden Curse Lv.3]
Cost: 1800 mana
Passive effect: Skill damage +30%
Active effect: Casts a curse on teammates within a 9-meter radius, increasing their attack power and hit rate by 30% for 120 seconds, and inflicting the [Misfortune] status.
[Misfortune]: Cursed players will lose 1% of their health every second after 20 seconds.
[The Witch's Favor Lv.2]
Cost: 1800 mana
Passive effect: Base defense +25%
Active effect: Select one of your favorite teammates from all the cursed teammates, granting them immunity to the [Misfortune] and [Burning] status effects, and increasing their four basic attributes by 12% for 120 seconds.
[Decoy Grass Doll Lv.2]
Consumption: None
Effect: Upon being attacked, you can teleport to summon a scarecrow to take the hit for you. Teleport range: within a 10-meter radius of your original location. Cooldown: 9 minutes.
[Burning Affection Lv.1]
Cost: 1200 mana
Active effect: Declare your love to teammates within a 9-meter radius. Teammates' attack speed +10%, movement speed +10%, and casting speed +10% for 30 seconds, and inflict the [Burning] status.
[Burning]: Teammates who have received the witch's love curse are agitated and enter a burning state, losing 1% of their health per second.
[Rosevine Whip Lv.1]
Cost: 1000 mana
Active effect: Throws out three rose thorns made of magic in a 1*5 area in front of you, dealing damage of (Attack Power*1 + Intelligence*0.8)x3 to enemies. Cooldown: 10 seconds.
Su Xi looked at the attributes of these skills.
The Decoy Grass Doll skill has very few uses, since the main body rarely gets hit; it usually transforms into other avatars after buffing itself.
As for [Forbidden Curse Lv.3] and [Burning Affection Lv.1], these two skills will leave teammates with low health in less than a minute, which puts a heavy burden on the healer. These two skills should not be used in large groups of players.
[Witch's Favor Lv.2] is not worth mentioning, as the improvement is relatively small. Although it can make the favored player immune to [Misfortune] and [Burning], you can only favor one, which is really annoying.
[Rosevine Whip Lv.1] This skill can deal considerable damage, but it consumes 1000 mana...
Forget it, I've already used up half my mana after casting the buff. I need to use the remaining mana to recharge the buff, so I can't use it to cast attack skills.
Moreover, this (1*5) area is not even as large as Ilena's range, so it is judged to be a useless skill.
