926 Guarding the Secrets of Ancient Trees, Isn't This a Good Place to Make Trouble?
Grabbing Tina's pointed ears and twisting them like a radio, she came to her senses.
"Wait until you go back and gather everyone to digest it in the silk network, and you are not allowed to touch it now!"
Kiri warns Tina to fix Timmy again.
"Have you forgotten the blood feud of your father, your brothers and sisters, and your friends, and have you forgotten your own fate?"
Qili's words soothed Timina's dragon spirit, which was merging with the Innoris inheritance, and she continued to cheer, "If you don't care about them, how can you be so miserable? There must be something more important in this world than Gilpool, and you are convinced of it, but you yourself have not yet woken up. ”
Timmy's mind fluctuated violently: "Yes...... Yes......"
"But I don't know what it is!"
"It's good that the master is here, he can teach me!"
Is it really the reason why Li Qi is not there?
Kiri sighed, it seemed that she couldn't solve Timmy.
"Then you can rest well......"
Timmy was given a soul-calming potion to prevent her from absorbing the Innocents legacy. Then put on a forbidden uniform similar to the magic guide armament to ease her pain of turning into a witch, just like she did with those captured witches in Ika before.
With that out of the way, Relly will take care of the rest.
Send the Hellbarn Squad and the Hammer Squad, led by Kane, to dispatch the existing Horned Whale and Delta Base Shark squadrons to the Fortress Prison to rescue the captured Silver Dragon.
Ye Zi is also going, she is very grateful, and she is very reluctant to get on the gray whale transport plane with the soldiers, and temporarily separates from Timmy.
Then there's the matter of guarding the Ancient Tree and the Tina Clan......
Based on the results of the black whale scans, as well as the interrogation of the local half-elves, intelligence agents have confirmed a number of facts.
Tina's Mist Raven clan was indeed forcibly relocated by Skywan-Sunstar, and together with several other clans, a total of three or four thousand and a half elves are mining treasures such as "Elven Wood" and "World Tree Twigs" in the mines of Sunset's territory.
Not only Sunset Star is doing this, but other half-elf nobles, including the grassroots new nobles who have returned to their hometowns to retire, have thrown themselves into this craze, and the Forgotten Forest is digging holes everywhere.
"Four or five months ago, some bold half-elves who didn't believe in ancestral bloodlines dug up the soul mother trees, and found that the wood of many mother trees was stronger than the ironwood of the Storm Islands, and it was also very light, and the anti-magic properties were much stronger, and it was a magic guide material better than Mithril, so they sold it to the merchants. ”
Bat said: "The merchant has hyped up the material by making a name for 'elven wood'. I also found branches and leaves with stronger magic characteristics from inside, which can take root and grow into an elven wood tree, also named 'World Tree Chick Branch', one can sell tens of thousands of Jinpu ears, so ......"
Qili sighed, so the Forgotten Forest became a treasure trove, and the half-elves who had been sheltered for tens of thousands of years began to dig up their roots under the lure of Kinpul.
"It wasn't very hot at first, but it was just a rare material, and it only started to get hot in the last two months," Bat explains. The Dawning Empire has been defeated in an air battle with us, losing most of its warplanes and warships, and is rebuilding its flying forces. Materials for Magic Planes, Flying Ships, and Floating Ships are in great demand, and Magic Workshops and Merchants are looking for more and better materials all over the world. ”
"At the beginning, it was a big nobleman like Sunset Star who knew the news, so he could be the first to strike. It's a pity that with the joint communication network, the news spread too quickly, and the big nobles did not monopolize it for too long. ”
Half-elf Trizt snorted angrily, "The culprit is the Temple of Commerce!, without them luring them with Jinpu'er, how could those half-elves ignore the teachings of their ancestors and use the Sacred Soul Mother Tree to earn money!?"
Qi Li sighed: "You can't blame ordinary people, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, just relying on the sacredness passed down from the teachings of the ancestors, can't stop the mortals' yearning for a better and happy life." ”
Trizt said eagerly: "Your Highness, if the Soul Mother Tree is really just a guardian ancient tree left for the half-elves when the elves retreated, then there is nothing sacred at all. But the nobles' plundering of the Mother Tree of the Soul is achieved by oppressing their fellow clansmen and turning them into miners and slaves, and we cannot sit idly by!"
Of course not, Qili is here to make trouble. Saving Yinlong from the fortress prison is just a small fight, and she is worried that there is no reason to make a big fuss.
But there are more details to be clarified before we act......
Qi Li once again communicated with the guardian ancient tree through the verdant vines that extended from the ground.
"It's been so long that we can't remember the details of the beginning. I only remember that Her Majesty Innocents planted us in this place, telling us to protect this place while waiting for the appearance of the silver dragon that can accept the inheritance. ”
Kiri found the key point, we?
The Guardian Ancient Tree calmly recounted: "I am not the only one who has left the Guardian Ancient Tree here, there are hundreds of them at the beginning......
"Our lives are not endless, and in tens of thousands of years, most of them have died. Every time an epoch changes, there will also be companions who take the initiative to absorb the impact of changes in the world here, and then die. ”
"Now that I can't feel the presence of my companions, I should be the last guardian ancient tree, so I will be in a hurry to give away the inheritance of His Majesty Innocentis. ”
Qi Li said about the "Elven Wood" and the "World Tree Twig", and the ancient tree smiled in a low voice and said, "The elven wood should be those trees that have attached our will, because it has been too long, and it also has a little power from us. Even if we die, that power will not dissipate immediately. ”
"As for the World Tree Twigs, they are supposed to be the remains of our dead. It is true that it can grow into a new tree, but it is no longer ourselves, there is not much special place, and it has nothing to do with the World Tree. ”
Qi Li asked in surprise, "Aren't you angry at all? The half-elves here have survived until now under your protection, and they have actually dug up your ruins and remains for sale. ”
The emerald vine man swayed slowly, and the thought of the response was also surprised: "How could Your Highness ask such a question? This is the mission you have given us, I mean the same elves as you, and also gods. ”
"We've guarded this place for tens of thousands of years, allowing the half-elves here to thrive and spread their branches. If there is no special disaster, they will not die easily. ”
"The legacy of His Majesty Innocents is now inherited, and we have successfully completed our mission. I didn't do it by me, I did it with my peers with their lives. ”
"As for the ruins and bodies we left behind, we don't care what the half-elves will do with them. Seriously, I'm glad I can help them even if I die. ”
"We are the guardian tree left by the elven goddess of happiness, and at the same time the tree of happiness. We have no regrets about bringing wealth to the half-elves, and they are happy because of it. ”
Pure and stupid ancient tree......
"You bring not only wealth, but also the sin and pain that comes from wealth, which is not happiness for most half-elves. ”
Fujiman shook and didn't respond, with the wisdom of the ancient tree, he actually knew what was happening in this land, but he couldn't do anything.
"I can feel that you are still not reconciled", Qi Li began to tempt: "You have a long time to live, do you just sit back and watch the half-elves oppress each other because of your ruins and remains, and then kill each other, and when they dig you up, will you kill yourself?"
The ends of the vine man rolled up in several circles, but there was still no response.
Kiri said her true intentions: "Follow me to another place, there are many half-elves there." ”
Gu Shu asked curiously, "Do the half-elves there need shelter?"
"No, they don't need anyone's protection, they are independent and free", Qili said, "On the contrary, they want to protect you, after all, you are like an elder, watching them from childhood to adulthood, silently guarding them." ”
Gu Shu said with emotion: "We can't do anything, when the half-elves are used as slaves, if they can follow the teachings of their ancestors, unite as one, and pray for our help, we will come forward." It's a pity that they rob each other themselves. ”
"The half-elves in that place are different," said Kiri, "and they will show you what good things will happen to the half-elves as part of the mortals." ”
Gu Shu was obviously moved: "I can indeed transfer, but I will have to sleep for a long time after the transfer to wake up." ”
Qili is not pressing: "It's up to you, but I can guarantee that when you wake up, you will see a better world." ”
Remembering the purpose of the trip, Qi Li said, "By the way, there is one more thing. ”
After listening to what Qi Li said, the ancient tree was surprised, and the vine man rolled in a circle played straight: "It is true that there are many half-elves who follow the tradition of their ancestors and make and repay their wishes in places where they can touch our will. However, pure girls are more accessible to us than others, so over time, making wishes and repaying wishes have become vows of love. ”
"Parents would come to us when a girl was five or six years old and make a wish that she would marry a man who would bring happiness. When I find that man, I have to come back and make a vow. We will connect their hearts and minds in that moment and send them small blessings. ”
"If she hasn't found love by the age of eighteen, the girl will come back and make a vow, let us wish her to find true love. Half-elves who are over eighteen years old have too many soul impurities, and it is difficult to communicate with us again. ”
"It's the only connection we have with the half-elves......"
Chilly turned her head slowly, her eyes wide at Tina, whose ears were already red and smoking, and her eyes were round in disbelief.
Kiri sighed, "You hear me, Tina......"
When she communicated with the ancient tree, Tina curiously linked her mind to eavesdropping, and she didn't stop it.
Unexpectedly, Tina's so-called vow turned out to be ...... Forced marriage!
Tina exclaimed, "I, I really don't know what it means!"
Then she looked down and muttered, "But, but...... Isn't it okay?"
Of course not!
Qi Lixin said that between us, no, between Li Qi and you, there is no such thing, it's just......
After thinking for a while, Qi Li also frowned.
Is it just the relationship between a black-hearted boss and a lifelong employee?
"I ...... I also know that I'm not Aurora and Catherine, and I don't want to be like them", Tina peeked at Kiri out of the corner of her eye pitifully, and whispered, "I just want to be ...... all the time You'll be safe and happy by your side. And then I thought, there's no ritual or ...... Imprint, always not at ease. ”
Qi Li said angrily: "Is it okay to put a 'qualified' stamp on your butt?"
Tina pressed the tip of her chin to her chest, rubbed her toes and said, "Also, not really...... No, you can't. ”
This is the Death Witch of the Red Alliance!?
This is the source of power for all Crimson priests who believe in the equality of all spirits!?
Qili covered her face, feeling that her education was really a failure.
Tina's little face wrinkled, as if she was looking at a million gold coins but was not allowed to pick them, and said bitterly: "If you don't think it's good, ...... Forget it, I can bear it. ”
The voice became smaller and more poignant: "I've been used to endurance since I was a child. ”
There was a throbbing in Qili's heart, the love that Tina longed for was the love between relatives.
She turned her mind away and asked Gu Shu, "Not all wishes and wishes are related to marriage, right?"
Gu Shu hesitated for a while before saying, "Of course not, there are still a small part, such as when looking for brothers and sisters, they will also ......"
"Good, that's it!"
Kiri said, "Bless me and Tina as sisters!"
The emerald vine man shook, obviously stunned by her manipulation.
Chiri pulled Tina over, tugged at her ear and said, "From now on, Kiri will be your sister, is that okay?"
Tina paused for a while, her pointed ears trembled, and she said happily, "Okay, good!"
Then he covered his ears: "In the future, only Qili is allowed to rub my ears, Li Qi is not allowed!"
So with the testimony and blessing of the ancient tree, Kiri and Tina became sisters.
Tina reluctantly poured the "dowry" she brought with her into the pit, which was the material needed to protect the ancient tree to perform the blessing spell.
Countless coins were piled up in a large pit, and the ancient trees were stunned.
"The power of your wishes is amazing...... It's ...... stronger."
Gu Shu smiled bitterly and said, "I must give a blessing equal to your wishes and the value of these coins. ”
The green light fell on the coin, melting into a colorful gold, silver and bronze light, and then rose with the green light, turning into an iridescent light mist that fell to cover Kiri and Tina.
Kiri sensed a strange power that soaked the beauty of Niel Serra and penetrated into the soul of little Kiri.
Confirming that this power was gentle and beneficial, she let go of her soul barrier and embraced it.
The rainbow light dissipated, her vision was clear, and she felt the back of her left hand heat a little.
When I looked up, I saw that the butterfly mark of the beauty of Nilsera was surrounded by a circle of turquoise branches, and the leaves on the branches were heart-shaped.
"What is this?"
Tina also held her hands and asked curiously, it seemed that she had the same mark.
The ancient tree's mind became much weaker: "This is ...... The blessing of guarding the ancient tree...... Imprint. ”
Looking at Tina, Kiri widened her eyes in shock.
Tina's appearance and facial features have not changed, but a beautiful and dusty aura overflows from her soul, making her beautiful.
The previous Tina was also a pretty little girl, but it was only within the normal range, and she couldn't compare with Finney, and she was on the same level as Vicky and Eve.
The current Tina, even if it is not the embodiment of beauty, is enough to make it difficult for ordinary people to breathe.
There is another change that is also difficult for Kiri to ignore, the previous Tina was too thin and weak, and it was completely a blood elf template, but now it is a little more normal, enough to be up and down, graceful and slender adjectives.
Although it is still a pair of A's, it already has a posture that it can afford......
Wait a minute!
Qi Li thought of something, because she was too frightened, and subconsciously touched her chest with both hands.
Fortunately, the size has not shrunk......
Guarding the ancient tree said: "Our blessing of guarding the ancient tree is not a lie, since you want to become sisters, I will borrow your bloodline sample, and purify the bloodline of the half-elf girl a little, so that you have a connection in the bloodline and become sisters in the true sense." ”
Qili blushed and put down the claws of climbing to the peak, coughed and said, "I thought I had averaged the two of us." ”
Tina didn't realize the changes in her body, she was just happy that she had the same mark on the back of her hand as Qili, and she took Qili's hand and chattered about the difference between size and color.
Qili pinched her pointed ears dotingly, and said in her heart that it was very good, and there would be another beautiful incarnation who could pretend to be an elf in the future.
"This is the most laborious blessing I have ever made......"
"I feel like I have to go dormant, so please allow me to attach my will to this blessing, and then dig out my body and transplant it elsewhere." ”
"Don't worry about my body withering, as long as it's not more than a few months without water, soil and natural aura, it's not a big problem. ”
After speaking, the emerald vine withered rapidly, and a cloud of green light floated to the back of Qi Li's hand, seeping into the circle of emerald branches and leaves.
The last guardian ancient tree of the Forgotten Forest is in the hands of Qi Li.
Coming out of the "Land of Wishes" with Tina, everyone is shocked by Tina's new and beautiful appearance, and Kiri blesses Tina under the pretext of protecting the ancient tree, fooling everyone over.
"Now it's time for us to get down to business......"
Qi Li's face was straight, and she said solemnly, "Let's stir up the Forgotten Forest!"
The subordinates led by Trizter responded excitedly and highly, and the shouts startled a large flock of birds in the jungle.
In the wide valley hundreds of kilometers away, countless large trees are scattered high and low, weaving into a tree fort.
In the highest hall of the Tree Castle, Skywan-Sunstar examined the report handed in by the deacon, and the growing numbers made him nod in satisfaction.
A vicious chill suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart, causing him to shiver several times in succession.
He walked to the window and looked out at the valley floor, as usual, unusually peaceful.
The uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated, and Skywan shrugged his shoulders disapprerovingly.
The Forgotten Forest has been so peaceful for tens of thousands of years, and it will certainly continue to be peaceful for eternity in the future.
