Chapter Ninety-Six: Prophecy

Standing on the arm of the oak tree man, Jiang Ning watched their slow pace rather speechlessly! However, he didn't show it, he wanted to see what the Treant Elder wanted to do. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

With his strength, there are not many people in this world who can pose a threat to him!

What's more, he sensed that these tree people were very jealous of wizards. Although he was unfriendly, even hostile to wizards, he didn't see any malice in Oak's invitation just now! On the contrary, the hostile attitude has disappeared. That's why he agreed to meet their elders.

After walking for about twenty minutes, the group of trees finally reached the place.

Jiang Ning jumped off the oak and looked at the small lake, where there was a small island in the middle of the lake. A huge rain tree, almost 40 meters high! It is 10 meters taller than an ordinary rain tree!

On his thick torso, a pair of large, green eyes opened, and a mouth that looked very old, and his eyes and the vicinity of his mouth were full of dry wrinkles. The surrounding group of tree people all saluted very respectfully!

Elder Rain Tree opened his mouth, and his voice was unusually loud and kind: "I thought that in five hundred years, this island and the continent that had not been discovered by humans in the Old Continent would be discovered by some navigators. Then it was known by the human society, but I didn't expect you to come to the depths of this jungle seven hundred years in advance, no, it should be a thousand years! ”

"A thousand years?" Jiang Ning secretly estimated the time that the Age of Discovery was the Age of Geographical Discoveries that began at the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century. It's the tenth century, so if you count it, you came to the Brazil region of the Americas five or six hundred years in advance. And in the depths of the Amazon rainforest, the real large-scale entry of human beings should be the time period between the nineteenth century and the twentieth century! In the 21st century, the Amazon rainforest was first conquered, but the environment here still said no to humans at that time! A real forbidden place!

Jiang Ning didn't expect that this Tree Elder's prophecy ability was so powerful, and he even predicted the Great Geographical Discovery.

"Do you know what I'm here for?"

Elder Treant said, "No, I don't know what you're here for. However, I saw a change in the future! The race that was supposed to be extinct in the future has a glimmer of life because of your arrival! ”

"Extermination?"

"That's right, the inevitable extinction of the race!"

Jiang Ning was curious: "Since you can predict what will happen in a thousand years, can't you change it?" ”

Elder Treant smiled bitterly and said, "Although I can predict all the worlds in a thousand years, I can't change the fate of the race!" In the next few hundred years, the islands and this vast land mass were first discovered by navigators of the Old World. Then it caused a sensation in human society, and with the intervention of the state, it carried out active colonization! Blood and fire are born! As ordinary people arrived, they slashed plants, built villages and cities, and more and more wizards came across the sea! ”

His tone was filled with grief: "This virgin land, for these wizards, belongs to an uncultivated treasure land!" Countless rare animals and plants that can be used to enhance their magical abilities have been plundered! Countless wizard families are stationed here! In the future, our remaining treants and flower elves will be destroyed by greedy wizards! Nowhere to hide! Although it is located in the depths of the rainforest, the footsteps of wizards will come here sooner or later! If we don't have the ability to cast spells, we can't fight wizards at all! We will be greeted only by destruction! ”

"Didn't think about moving again?" Jiang Ning thought, since he would predict the danger, then it would be better to migrate again! Anyway, the earth is so big, there will always be a place to live!

The desolate tone of the Elder Treeman carried tears in his eyes: "It's useless, it's useless to migrate anywhere!" Except for a continent covered in ice and snow, there is still no way to avoid extinction wherever you migrate! Ancient nature, gradually conquered by humans! Riding chariots made of steel, large ships, and iron birds flying in the sky, they conquered things that humans had never dared to think of in the past. In the end, they even tried to conquer the vast starry sky! In addition to the sea, which makes human grounding full of fear! Anywhere, nothing can stop them! And we—" He looked at the people around him, and said with a desolate smile, "We can't survive except to be able to live on the earth. Since they are all dead, just stay here safely! Quietly meet death! ”

There was silence and a dreary atmosphere, and it was clear that the Treants knew the prophecy. Except for the innocent flower elves, all of them knew this prophecy. Since there is no way to stop it, then you can only choose to wait silently for death to come! For them, it's nothing more than a return to Mother Nature's arms, and it's not scary. The only thing that worries them is the destruction of the race! Only this situation is what they are most worried about, and they don't care about anything else.

Because, too many of their people have died.

Jiang Ning looked around, looked at the Elder Treeman, and asked, "You, are these clansmen left?" ”

"Yes, what you see in front of you is the only one of our people left! The rest of the people died in the Old World! Died at the hands of lumberjacks, in the fires, at the hands of wizards, and finally made into wands to slaughter our people! Hahaha! Elder Treeman's voice was filled with sorrow, tears the size of a football, dripping continuously.

Listening to the words of the Tree People Elder, Jiang Ning was very sympathetic to them.

O human! What a contradictory and cute creature!

On the one hand, they are industrious and creative, and have created world-renowned achievements in civilization! In just a few thousand years, modern industry has been developed! On the one hand, they are killing other lives in the process of development! Whether it's animals or plants, or even yourself......

Step by step, human beings are going farther and farther on the road of self-destruction! Although we all know that if we continue like this, we can only self-destruct! However, the great division of mankind is not united, and they can only know that it is a dead end to continue, and they can only continue, and they cannot stop it! All because of human distrust. Divide ethnic groups, divide races, divide ideologies! There are contradictions in all aspects, which have created the human being today! It is precisely because of this that at the same time, modern science and technology, which mankind is extremely proud of, have long been proud!

Although human beings are killing and destroying on the one hand, they wait until the environment is destroyed before they think of remediation! However, in history, because of the extinction of human beings, it is no less than a mass extinction! But what can Jiang Ning say? He is also human, and this is the inevitable result of human development! Even if there is a choice, humanity will go through the course of history in this way! The difference could be a little milder! Extinct those creatures that pose a threat to humanity and allow the rest to continue to exist!

Human beings have always been domineering, but I am the only one, and those who obey will prosper and those who rebel will perish!

――

"I deeply sympathize with what happened to you!" Jiang Ning said, 'I sympathize with you for the massacre, but I don't carry this pot, I didn't do it!' ’

Elder Treeman suddenly looked at Jiang Ning with pleading eyes: "Wizard, can you help us?" ”

“?” Jiang Ning was a little surprised, and then he tried to say, "You want me to help you find a place to live?" ”

Elder Treant said sadly, "In this world, there is no habitat for my race for a long time! ”

Jiang Ning thought for a moment, and then said, "If you are allowed to move your clan to a completely unfamiliar place, are you willing?" ”

"A completely unfamiliar place?" He was slightly stunned, and then said, "Where do you mean?" ”

"My botanical garden, to be exact! If you're willing to work for me and help me take care of my botanical garden, then you can move to where I am! I promise you that you will develop peacefully and steadily. Moreover, my botanical garden is more than you can imagine! ”

The Elder Tree Man thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "You won't enslave us, will you?" ”

Jiang Ning shook his head: "Of course not, we are an employer, you know this, right?" Seeing the Elder Treant nod, he continued, "You work for me and help me take care of the plants in my botanical garden. In return, I will provide you with a place to live and reproduce! How is it? ”

"Where's your botanical garden?" The elders ask critical questions.

Jiang Ning smiled mysteriously: "Here!" ”
