Dota: Becoming a God Starting with Dragon Knight

Led by Elon, the group took another path and walked until they reached a large tree.

Unlike other trees with huge canopies, this tree has a huge trunk, with only a few green leaves at the top to indicate that it is not a dead tree.

"How did this tree survive?"

This tree, which defies common sense, piqued Li Ming's interest once again.

At this moment, Elon also noticed that Lina's attitude towards Li Ming was unusually good, so he answered first: "This tree is called the Targu Tree. It has a very strong root system and does not rely on leaves for nutrition."

"Then how does it reproduce?"

"Grow directly, new trees grow from the roots."

"Oh, it's just a super-sized bamboo."

"You know what, they really do look alike. The bark of this tree is very hard, hollow, and layered. With the nurturing of our elves' natural magic, it can grow very large, making it very suitable for building permanent structures."

Entering through a hollow in the ancient tree, you'll find yourself in a reception hall.

A beautiful female elf approached, her face beaming with smiles, and bowed obsequiously, asking, "Welcome, Young Master Airon! Would you like a carriage?"

"right."

"Please show me your permit. I'm sorry, but it's been stated that anyone, regardless of who they are, needs proof to use a vehicle to travel to the Royal Court. If anything goes wrong, I really can't bear the responsibility."

"for you."

Elon took out a glistening leaf and handed it to the visitor.

The elf took the leaf with both hands, walked quickly to the desk, and passed the verification.

"Young Master Airon, please follow me. The car is ready and we'll be departing soon."

The elf opened a door and led everyone inside.

Inside the door is a downward spiral staircase, more than ten meters deep.

At the bottom is a circular hall with doors irregularly distributed around it.

"The place we are now is the station, located in the middle of the main root of the Taergu tree."

"The doors you see are branch roots that branch off from the main root of the Taergu tree."

"Primarily used to park the water-powered vehicles jointly developed by our race and the goblins."

"We will be taking a water car to the royal court shortly."

"The water car is much faster than a unicorn..."

Knowing that Lina was unfamiliar with the situation here, the elf took the initiative to introduce them to relevant information.

Just then, a door at the edge of the hall opened, and an elf rushed out.

"Manager Maeve, something terrible has happened!"

Maeve stopped her explanation, bowed apologetically, and said, "Distinguished guests, please wait a moment while I go and take care of something."

Elon waved his hand and said, "Go."

Maeve strode to the side and whispered sharply, "What's going on? Why are you making such a fuss? Don't you know I'm entertaining important guests?"

"Supervisor, the water tankers have all broken down for some reason."

"What? Everything was fine this morning! All the cars are broken?"

"right."

"Then hurry up and get the goblins to fix it."

"I asked them, but the goblin said the car wasn't broken, they just didn't know why it wouldn't start."

"How could this happen? Something must be broken. Go check it out right away."

Maeve was furious. Of all times, the car had to break down just when Elon and the others needed it. It was definitely someone deliberately trying to sabotage her.

Not far away, Airon overheard their conversation, walked up behind them, patted Maeve on the shoulder, and said, "Maeve, let me take a look."

Lina frowned and stopped her, saying, "Eron, don't cause trouble!"

Elon was taken aback for a moment, then realized that Lina was unaware of his great achievements during this period, so he prepared to explain.

Maeve, standing nearby, quickly explained, "Madam, Young Master Airon is one of the key founders who spearheaded the development of the water car, and he knows everything about it."

"Please do not question Young Master Airon's authority."

Maeve is a huge fan of Elon and won't tolerate anyone else speaking ill of him.

Lina looked Elon up and down in surprise. "I never expected our magic-challenged young master to have such amazing skills in engineering?"

"It seems I underestimated you."

"If you could tone down your vain behavior a bit, I think your aunt wouldn't be so worried about your marriage."

Elon was enjoying the conversation, but by the end, he was as wilted as a frostbitten eggplant.

"Cousin, stop talking, let's go check out the car first."

Lina sighed and stopped talking.

The group entered through the side door and arrived at the water car garage.

A water truck is placed inside the garage.

Lina glanced at it a few times, sensed the faint magical fluctuations inside the water car, and her interest waned. So she wandered around the garage instead.

Li Ming did not follow. He looked at the water car, which resembled a medieval steam engine, and couldn't help but go up and touch its exterior.

This is an antique! In my previous life, you could only see this kind of car in a museum. Now I can actually see a newly developed and manufactured one.

Maeve tried to stop him, but Elon stopped her with a look. He also walked to the water car and touched the car's shell covered with inscriptions.

"Brother Li Ming, my cousin told me that you helped her a lot outside the Forest Gate. On behalf of my family, I would like to thank you."

"Hey~ It's nothing, just helping each other out. If it weren't for Mage Lina, I'd still be fighting skeletons outside the Elf Forest right now."

Li Ming said it was a small matter, and he gestured for permission to get in the car for a tour. After receiving permission, he sat in the driver's seat with great interest and pretended to drive.

A glint of light flashed in Elon's eyes. "Judging from your expression, you're quite interested in water-powered cars? Have you seen anything like them before?"

"Ah~ no!" Li Ming stopped what he was doing. "It's just that it's the first time I've seen this new thing, and I'm curious and itchy to touch it."

"By the way, does your water car convert water into gas to power the wheels?"

Erron thought to himself, "You said you'd never seen this before, but you already know the principle behind it."

"Yeah, how did you know?"

"Isn't the car's name pretty obvious? It's a car made of water and water vapor."

"Yeah, hahaha~~ Looks like I'll have to change my name from now on."

Li Ming jumped out of the car, patted the hood, and said, "I don't see any fire in this car, so how do you turn water into vapor?"

Elon thought for a moment, deciding it wasn't really a secret, and replied, "Hmm... of course, we use magic. What else would we use? Burn coal?"

"Right, right, right!" Li Ming patted his head, suddenly realizing that he had almost forgotten that magic existed in this world.

"Hey~ Brother Airon, why don't you go check what's wrong with this car? You don't need to come with me, I'll just take a look."

"Alright, see for yourself. Cyril, you keep an eye on Li Ming for me, make sure he doesn't touch anything dangerous, lest he get hurt."

"yes!"

Cyril walked behind Li Ming, ostensibly to protect him, but in reality to monitor him.

Li Ming didn't care. He watched as Elon and a few goblins crawled under the car and started tinkering. He casually opened the hood.

"Wow—"

Elon immediately crawled out from under the car and asked, "What's wrong? Did you find a problem?"
