Chapter 160 [Seed of the God of the Forest] 2/3
Elf, whether in Western mythology or Eastern fantasy, is an extremely noble and elegant race. The most eye-catching thing is the appearance of the elves. No matter what Western fantasy is, elves will always be a race born with favor and love from heaven and earth, and each one is extremely beautiful and handsome.
Among the very few, only the beauty of female elves is depicted, but the handsomeness of male elves is deliberately distorted.
But this is only a very small number. In the eyes of many people, elves are both good-looking, especially princes and princesses of the elves. They are definitely a place that is fascinating and popular among the girls.
However, in the plot of Hellboy 2, a pair of elf princesses and princes appearing not only does not have exquisite appearance, but also nobility and elegant temperament. Instead, they are paler than vampires and long hair that is ashes-like.
When I first watched this movie, it completely subverted Chris's love for the Elf Queen and the Elf Prince when he watched the Lord of the Rings.
It once made him lose all his interest in the movies about the Elves and movies he saw later.
It would be fine if only these were them. After all, everyone has different settings for elves. In addition, the Hellboy movies tend to be Gothic. It would be nothing to appear such strange elves, but the most unbearable thing is that the elves have fallen to live in sewers and those dirty rat monsters for a living.
However, these are just Chris's complaints about this movie, but now seeing the Elf Prince appears in Hellboy 2 makes him deeply confused.
On the airliner who came to London, England, Chris also knocked on the Hellboy side and learned from him that the other party had no childhood sweethearts and no gay friend who could read through telepathy.
At that time, Chris decided that the world he came to was probably the Hellboy comic world. After all, the Baron's appearance was completely different from that in the movie, and he did not have the ability to release flames, and the gay friend of the Fishman.
But this time, I saw a vampire-like elf prince in Hellboy 2 in this Monster Alley, which made Chris wonder.
Is it the movie world or the comic world?
Alice called Chris several times, but she never saw any reaction. Following his gaze, she saw a white-haired man with a pale face pulling the corner of LaChris's clothes and asking: What's wrong with you? Who is that man?
It's nothing, let's go back. Chris glanced at Alice, thinking that it was not the time to look for the Elf Prince, and left a trace of mental power to cover the Elf Prince quietly, and said to Alice: I don't know where the Major and the Baron have gone, so we'd better go back to the garbage truck and wait for them first.
Alice thought for a while and nodded and said: OK, let's go back early, don't wait until the major brought that stupid guy back and couldn't find us. The streets in Monster Alley are complicated, and most people really don't know how to get out after they come in.
After all, Alice is still a little girl. Although she has done a lot of tasks, she basically does the work of assisting the finishing, so she doesn't know anything about it. When she saw Chris suggesting to go back and wait for the major and the others first, she agreed immediately.
When Alice led Chris back and left here, the elf prince suddenly noticed something, looked around, and saw that there was nothing, he smiled self-deprecatingly, retracted his vision, and continued to communicate with the vendors in the tent how to buy this mysterious object cheaply. Since the humiliating choice of the elves, the prince of the elf country has no longer had the elegance and luxury of the past.
In the tent, a monster that looked like a rat scratched his long white beard with two front paws and said: Sir, this is the only seed of the tree of life that I finally took from the war of the old century. Although it is dead, it still has high collection value. Everyone knows that the elves have perished, and the elves' patron saint, the tree of life, the forest god of the elves, has also died. This is its last seed and bloodline. I have collected it for more than 300 years. If it weren't for the bad conditions at home recently, I wouldn't have chosen to sell it, so it is worth 1,000 magic coins.
When the elf prince heard Guan Shu’s words, his eyes darkened, and he silently thought in his heart that the elf clan had not perished, but so what? Now all races know that the elf clan has almost completely disappeared since the war hundreds of years ago and signed a humiliating peace agreement. This seems to be no different from extermination.
One thousand magic coins are only one thousand magic coins. When the elf prince thought of this, he glanced at the pale seed of the tree of life held in Guan Shu’s hand, took off the sachet hanging from his waist, and threw it directly to Guan Shu in front of him and said: There should be almost one thousand magic coins here, if possible, just trade them directly.
Guanmao took the sachet, opened it and saw that it was indeed full of magic coins. He weighed the amount, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: Then the seed of this tree of life will be traded for you, please sign a contract.
After saying that, Guan Shu took out a magic scroll. This was a contract specially used for transactions in Monster Alley, which was similar to a human contract, but the person who restricted both parties was not a judge or a law, but the owner of Monster Alley, the descendant of Meilin who had lived for 800 years!
The Elf Prince disagreed and took the magic contract scroll directly, opened it and signed his name on it. The magic scroll suddenly emitted a wonderful aperture. After the aperture ended, the scroll would be automatically burned and the transaction was officially completed.
After getting the seeds of the tree of life, the elf prince glanced at the other collections of the owner of the Guanmao stall with some jealousy. But thinking that he was short of money, he had to leave here embarrassedly.
...
On the dark night, the howling cold wind adds a bit of whistling to this winter.
When a ray of moonlight shone on the snow-filled roof, the Elf Prince stood on the roof, scanning the endless crowds and vehicles below. The smoke and smokyness made his brow frown involuntarily.
Who! Suddenly, the elf prince turned around suddenly and saw a tall man standing three meters behind him, asking with vigilance: Who are you!
