Sauron hesitated.

As he faced the goddess of magic with a hint of pleading eyes, he couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart, because the [Dance of Dryads] was also drawing his power to repair this forest to some extent, and the consequences of doing so could cause him to fall down. Although the Dryant is the embodiment of nature's spirituality, a very beautiful and alluring creature, one of the most beautiful creatures on the physical plane.

But!

In Sauron's opinion, there is not much difference between the tree spirit and the succubus of the bottomless abyss, as well as the desires and demons of Bato's hell, and even the suckers, essences, and witches in the demons. The essence of their souls is almost the same, and the dryads rely on their own innate charm ability to survive, but as creatures in the material plane, the dryads are still kinder. However, they are not all kind creatures, because most of the time the dryads are on the neutral side of nature.

Every year, humans who cut down trees die at the hands of the Dryants, and many people have been killed to stop other races from destroying the forest.

Of course, that's not the point.

The point is that Sauron is not sure whether the divine power left by the father of the oak tree, Sivannas, will be awakened by the ritual, if it is successfully awakened, it is naturally the best, this is the result that everyone wants to see. But if the ritual does not awaken the divine power of the Father of the Oak Tree, Sivannas, then once such a sacred ritual is performed, it will be difficult for even Sauron to forcibly stop. This meant that without awakening the Father of the Oak Tree, Sauron would have to expend his own strength to restore the forest.

If it's an ordinary person.

I'm afraid I'm going to be squeezed out of the body this time, but Sauron won't be like this, but lowering the career level by more than five is almost inevitable!

You must know that the area of the Misty Forest is simply too large.

Even if all aspects are achieved, if the last Father of Oak does not have enough divine power, Sauron may still be able to fall down.

This reduction in strength is permanent. Unlike energy absorption, which can be repaired with divine magic.

………………

Naturally, the goddess of magic was also aware of Sauron's concerns.

On this day when the Holy One's Catastrophe has come, no god is willing to take such a risk. But there is really one thing in the temple of Sivannas that is very important, and it can even be said that it is related to her life and death. If Sauron wasn't willing to help her, she would have to pay some price for Ildis next to her to force her into battle.

If it were possible, Sauron would still want to refuse.

But he can really say no now, and things have come to this point. If he gave up, he would still come to the Goddess of Magic to do something, and he would still have to take a little risk anyway.

"I agree!"

Just when Midnight Lady thought Sauron would refuse, he suddenly agreed, so much so that the Goddess of Magic in front of her had a look of incredible surprise.

She leaned over Sauron in front of her, her voice trembling slightly, "Thank you very much!" ”

Ildis still didn't quite understand the situation in front of him.

But he knew that Sauron seemed to have a tacit understanding with Midnight Lady all of a sudden, and then Sauron seemed to have promised something very important, so that the powerful Midnight Lady was very grateful to him.

This discovery annoyed Ildis a little.

Because he felt that if he could get the gratitude of the Midnight lady, then he would definitely be able to get more help from the other party.

But.

It doesn't seem like a very good thing. As we all know, most rituals require strength, and Ildis wanted to volunteer to stand up to replace Sauron, but considering what the dryads said, and the danger of potentially reducing his strength, he couldn't say a word in the end, and there was a faint feeling of loss in his heart.

"Agreed?"

The expression of the high tree spirit Karena was also a little excited, and there was a slight blush on her beautiful face, and she seemed to be able to see the identity of Sauron. I couldn't help but lean over deeply and said, "Thank you very much for your help!" ……”

"Starting today, the Misty Forest Treants will be your companion if you need any help. Feel free to come to us! ”

"We can't get too far out of the forest, but we have some reliable allies! ……”

With that, Karena looked at the forest in the distance, and although many trees had died in this forest, there were still many tall trees growing in the distance.

"So let's get started, shall we?"

The Goddess of Magic's expression seemed impatient, and she raised her hand to arrange a spell barrier. Then he said, "Do you need my help to prepare anything?" ”

Karenna's beautiful face turned red, and she shook her head slightly, "No need." ”

"Just stay outside and wait, the ritual may take a long time, if it succeeds, I will open the door to the temple for you at noon the next day."

The goddess of magic nodded silently when she heard this, and then said to Ildis, who was stunned next to her, "Let's go out first." ”

"Oh." Ildis nodded with a lost expression.

………………

At this time. It was already afternoon.

When Midnight Lady and Ildis both left, the High Tree Spirit Karena immediately opened a defensive barrier, the sacred ritual could not be disturbed by the outside world, her mouth let out a strange tree language, and then the surrounding grass and trees began to grow wildly, the distant woods suddenly stirred, and then the ground shook slightly, and tall ancient trees rose from the ground, blocking the surrounding space with heavy steps.

They act as an outermost umbrella to prevent others from approaching.

- "Nature's Language." ”

An emerald green light appeared, and the slender and soft vines appeared directly in front of Sauron, winding together at an astonishing speed, and then it became a special altar that was not very large, but also more than fifteen meters in diameter, with abundant vitality enveloping the surroundings, and the nearby plants and trees grew at an astonishing rate, as if they had entered the spring full of flowers and plants in the blink of an eye.

"Your Excellency."

Karina took Sauron's hand with a blushing face, and then led him to the center of the altar, by this time she had changed her address to Sauron, and seemed to have vaguely guessed something, after arriving at the altar. The beautiful high-level tree spirit in front of him said slowly, "It is not easy to awaken the divine power left by the Father of the Oak Tree, and the Misty Forest is still too large. If you want to solve it all completely, it can take a bit longer. If you really can't make it to the end, I still hope that you can hold on as long as possible! ……”

Stick to it for a little longer.

Sauron's expression was a little strange at the moment, and he nodded silently, "I should still be able to hold on." But is it just the two of us who will do the ceremony? ”

"Will you be able to hold on?"

When Karena heard this, a blush rose on her beautiful face. She took a few steps back, shook her head slightly, and said, "Of course you can't rely on me alone. While pure power is important for this sacred ritual, it takes the help of others to purify the forest. ”

"Sisters."

"There are no outsiders anymore. You can come out. ”

As soon as Karenna's words fell, she saw a burst of life on the trees around her, and then a woman in a long green dress walked out of the nearby trees, all of them staring at Sauron in front of them with curious eyes. This is the deepest part of the Misty Forest, which is difficult for even adventurers to reach, and it can be said that many of them are still seeing a human for the first time, as if many humans have never seen a tree spirit in their lives. I've only heard the same in the tavern story.

"Let's get started."

Karena coughed slightly, her expression seemed to be a little unnatural, but she still insisted on it: "This ritual is very important, you should all know how to do it, right?" ”

The beautiful dryads, who had been a little frolicking at first, suddenly fell silent.

One by one, they gathered around the altar, and in the center of the altar was Sauron, who was sitting cross-legged, and with a glance he determined the number of these tree spirits, plus Karena in front of him, there were a total of 36 people, all of whom were powerful high-level tree spirits. This natural charm has a high growth rate of life over 20 points, and how long does the tree they parasitize have. How long these dryads can survive. Look at the trees near this forest, almost all of them have grown for hundreds of years.

The strange chanting echoed.

Thirty-six beautiful tree spirits circled around the altar and began to chant some kind of ancient song in a prayer-like manner, accompanied by a beautiful melody, and flowers bloomed in the nearby meadows, as if in an instant they had entered a sea of flowers. One by one, the beautiful dryads stood up. Kalena began to lead the dance, and they danced around Sauron, their supple and slender waists dancing and spinning, accompanied by beautiful long dresses woven entirely of plants, as if thirty-six flowers were blooming around him.

The crisp sound of birdsong was heard.

A few small birds with some colored feathers flutter around. Bursts of melodious birdsong are emitted, as if to accompany it all.

The sound of clear water was heard.

In the clear river near the forest, a girl with long flowing hair like aquatic plants, but equally beautiful and moving, slowly walked out of the river, holding colorful shell conchs, or the whole person floated in the water, or lazily lay on the rocks by the river, gently blowing a beautiful rhythm.

These are the embodiment of the spirits of water, rivers and lakes.

Flowers bloom everywhere.

Along with the dance of the tree spirits, some petite and beautiful figures began to appear, they looked as if they were translucent, with a pair of small and delicate wings, these cute and small beautiful maidens flew in the air, dancing in the sea full of flowers to the melody around them, one by one beautiful flower spirits in delicate long dresses appeared, they weaved their clothes with soft leaves and petals, and began to dance around the beautiful tree spirits near the altar.

Everything was so beautiful.

In a burst of beautiful melodies, Karena came to Sauron's face with a slight red face, she seemed a little shy in the face of Sauron's puzzled gaze, but in the end, her fingers trembled slightly, and the light purple dress on her body faded, and suddenly the beautiful body that almost perfectly represented the spirituality of nature was displayed in front of the eyes of others.

"Shame~~! ……”

The flower spirits dancing around the altar suddenly flew around as if they were drunk, and these cute and delicate little ones were all red when they saw it, and they covered their big eyes with their small palms, but they still carefully spread out a little gap, and a pair of watery eyes stared at everything on the altar with wide eyes, as if they were full of curiosity about what was about to happen.

Meanwhile.

Near the river, the lazy water spirits also let out a pleasant and teasing chuckle, and then the melody style that was originally full of natural freshness changed greatly, as if suddenly there was a lustful and lustful color like a bamboo.

What follows is the focus of the whole ceremony.

Whether or not he can completely purify the evil power of this forest depends on whether Sauron can survive until the end of the ceremony. (To be continued......)
