Chapter 327: Back then
Didn't the old demon come here with all his might, just to come to the Holy Land of Fil Gena? How could you turn around and go back because of the other party's words?
Just looking at the vigilant looks of these elven rangers, the old demon had to slow down his tone and said to them: "Please don't be nervous, I have something important to come here, your elven queen Messiah told me to come here to find your great elder Zlor, I have a token!" ”
The elf hunter who had spoken to the old demon before, after hearing the old demon's words, suddenly said with some confusion: "Token? Take it out and take a look! ”
"Okay!" The old demon slowly took out the earrings and spread them out in his hand.
The elven hunter stepped forward slowly, but the bow and arrow in his hand were still tightened, and he cautiously approached the old demon, staring at the old demon's eyes, and reached out to get the earrings from his hand.
"These are indeed the green earrings made by our people!" After seeing the earrings, the elf hunter was visibly relieved and said, "What only the elf queen who is appointed by the foreign assignment can get, it seems that you really came here because of something!" ”
The old demon nodded, and found that the elven hunters around him had relaxed their vigilance a little after hearing this.
"Okay, tell me what the hell is going on!" The elven hunter clenched the earrings in his hand and said to the old demon, "You must know that not everyone who seekers can enter the Holy Land of Fil Gerana, you have to say what you want, and we will decide whether you can enter or not!" ”
The old demon didn't talk nonsense, and said: "It's about the whereabouts of your elven clan's artifact and holy relics, and I came here to find your Great Elder Zlor and ask about the high priest Anna Li back then." ”
"Artifact Relic!?" All the elven hunters who heard this word suddenly had a solemn face, this was indeed a big deal.
So, the elf hunter who was talking to the old demon nodded and said, "I see, then please wait a moment, I'll go and report to the elders!" ”
After speaking, a vertical disappeared in front of the old demon, such a speed, so that the old demon also looked shocked, these elf rangers, really not a fuel-efficient lamp, fortunately there was no conflict, otherwise he might have hung up.
It didn't take long for the elven hunter to come back and say to the old demon, "The elders agree with you, please come with me!" ”
After saying this, the hundreds of elf hunters also put down the bows and arrows in their hands, and separated a few people to take the old demon to the depths of the forest, while the rest disappeared into the forest, probably continuing to patrol.
The old demon followed them and walked forward in a zigzag, this way of walking seemed to have some special meaning, because when he walked for a long time, the old demon got a system prompt: "You have found the holy land of the elves, Fil Gerna!" ”
What caught my eye was a huge giant tree, the height of this tree far exceeded any in the forest, and the thickness of the tree was also the thickest the old demon had ever seen, and what was even more peculiar was that the body of this giant tree was surrounded by a thick vine, like a winding mountain road, winding up the body of the tree, and where these vines passed, the old demon saw a lot of tree houses.
"This is the World Tree of our race, and Philgener is its name!" The elven hunter who took the lead introduced to the old demon: "This World Tree, which is more than 10,000 years old, is the oldest remaining World Tree of our clan, and it is said that this was planted by the goddess of nature herself, and it is also the origin of the holy land of our clan!" ”
Indeed, this kind of species that cannot exist on the earth at all, in the eyes of the old demon seems to be a miracle, tens of thousands of years, this world tree is still green and simple, although I know that this is designed by the game program, but it still makes the old demon feel inexplicably shocked.
"The elders are at the top, I'll take you up!" After the elven hunter said a word, he led the way up to the vine that surrounded the World Tree, which was like a staircase that allowed people to go up to the top of the tree.
The old demon followed him up the vine, winding his way upwards, until he finally came to the door of a room in the middle of the World Tree.
Unlike the elven dwellers who lived in the treehouses below, this room was actually opened inside the World Tree, as if a room was embedded in the tree.
"Let's go inside! The elders are waiting for you! The elf hunter said to the old demon, and then stood aside, and it seemed that he did not intend to go in, so the old demon nodded, and pushed open the door of the room.
It was a huge room, only a wooden table was placed in the middle of the room, which made it look very empty, and twelve elven old men with white hair and walking crutches were sitting around the wooden table, and when they saw the old demon push the door in, their eyes looked at him in unison.
The old demon looked at the past, and the rest of the elf clan old men were nothing special, but the one sitting in the first place looked very different.
It was a relatively large old "man", if it could be called a human, perhaps it would be the most peculiar person the old demon had ever seen, because he had such thick eyebrows and beards, but these beards were actually formed by pieces of tiny leaves!
And judging from his skin, it was rough and dark like the bark of a tree, and although he had a staff in his hand, the hand holding the staff was more like a few branches that had removed the leaves!
Just when the old demon was still a little surprised, the object of his attention had already spoken.
"Welcome! Champion of ShadowClan, I'm the Zlor you're looking for! Zlor's voice was deep, revealing a sense of vicissitudes, and he said to the old demon: "As you can see, I am a tree shepherd, maybe at your age, this may be the first time I have seen someone like me, right?" Don't be surprised, our clan was originally a branch of the elven race! ”
The old demon nodded, didn't say anything, this is a magic game, don't be surprised to see anything, not to mention that as the game gradually deepens, more and more unknown creatures will slowly appear, and the tree herder in front of him seems to be an example.
"I've heard that you brought us news of our artifact, is that so?" Zlor asked with a smile, very kind of elder.
"Yes!" The old demon nodded, and while thinking about how to trigger the mission, he replied, "I asked the Elven Queen Messiah, and she asked me to come to the Holy Land to ask for your help, because she said that you might know about the High Priestess Anna Li. ”
"High Priest Annali?" Zlor frowned and thought back, his movements looking sluggish and slow, with the rustle of his eyebrows and mustaches, very peculiar.
It seems that the age is too long, Zlor thought about it for a long time, a room of people, including the old demon and all the elven clan elders, all waited for him to recall, after a long time, Zlor raised his head and said: "I remember, there was indeed such a pious child at the beginning, her belief in the goddess of nature, so that I feel ashamed of this old bone, back then the goddess of nature did give her an artifact holy object, could it be that you are talking about, is it her one?" ”
The old demon nodded and said, "I guess so!" ”
"Alas!" Zlor sighed and said, "That child was sent by the Holy Land to serve as the high priest of the branch temple of Elunia, because there are holy relics enshrined in the temple, so the temple where she is located was also very famous at the beginning, and many foreigners have come from far and wide to pay homage to the glory of the goddess of nature, but it is a pity......
The old demon didn't speak, and listened quietly, because he knew that this might be the elaboration of the mission plot.
"It's a pity that in the temple where she was the high priest at that time, there was an elven girl named Angelina, which was a child adopted by Annali, maybe Annali's devotion to the goddess of nature did not affect her adopted daughter, this child named Angelina, who was also a priest of the temple, but fell in love with a human man!" Zlor said here and sighed: "In order to maintain the purity of the blood of the elf clan, our clan forbade intermarriage between clansmen and foreigners, but Angelina's child was carried away by love and walked on without hesitation. ”
"This kind of love is destined to be frightened!" Zlor continued: "Angelina also knew that it would not work like this, so she discussed with the man and wanted to fly away, but she didn't know that the man was actually a monster in disguise, and after hearing Angelina's thoughts, she encouraged her to steal the holy relics of the temple on the grounds of self-preservation!" ”
Angelina listened to the man's words, and under the pretext of being the adopted daughter of the high priest Annali, she infiltrated the temple and stole the artifact! However, Annali was kept in the dark until the day after the artifact was stolen, when the temple was suddenly attacked by a large number of monsters, and she found that the artifact and Angelina were all gone! ”
"The man who pretended to be a monster deceived Angelina with love, and used an unknown method to cut off the connection between Annali and the artifact, and after stealing the artifact, he brutally killed Angelina, and then fled with the artifact, and lost the power of the artifact, and the temple of the high priest Annali could not withstand the attack of so many monsters, and finally fell along with the temple......"
"These are the results of a post-mortem investigation! We don't know who the man the monster is pretending to be. Zlor looked at the old demon and said, "Brave Shadow Clan adventurer, can you tell me where you got the artifact news from?" This may bring back the truth of what happened back then! ”
"I got it from the Dark Arena!" The old demon answered him.
"What!?" Zlor suddenly opened his mouth in surprise and said, "You've been to the Dark Arena!?" Have you ever seen two great demons as tall as a mountain!? ”
"See!" The old demon nodded, "One is called Rommel, and the other is called Lombal." ”
"Sure enough, it's them!" As soon as Zlor heard these two names, he suddenly lost his mind, and muttered to himself, "I didn't expect that it was those two terrible demon kings who were behind the scenes!" ”
When the old demon heard this, he immediately frowned, and felt that something seemed wrong, if it was the Demon King who was behind his back and snatched the artifact, then why was the monster he saw in the underground shelter an undead spirit? Demons and undead are both monsters, but they shouldn't be the same, right?
Just as he was thinking like this, an elven ranger guard suddenly knocked on the door and broke in, bowed and apologized first, and then said anxiously to a group of elven elf elders: "Oh no, there are monsters that have broken into the holy land of Fil Gena!" ”
