Chapter 224: Elven Legacy

The clearing of the jungle was filled with burning ashes, and not far away was a fire left behind by the burning of corpses.

Sitting on the felled stake, the barbarian warrior with the back of the tiger humming and touching the battle axe in his hand.

Suddenly his ears moved, and he faintly heard the sound of something passing by, and looked to the side alertly, but saw nothing.

With a hundred-pound battle axe in his hand, the barbarian warrior patted the dust on his leather skirt and armor, stood up from the stake, and touched the depths of the jungle.

"Who's there!" The barbarian warrior let out a low roar, otherwise patted the tree next to him.

The muffled sound echoed through the misty forest, and all that was his response was the rustle of leaves.

"Delusion?"

Muttering, the barbarian warrior took the axe back and turned to walk back.

The moment he turned around, his head seemed to have been kicked by a horse's hoof, and without warning, a bloody hole pierced through him, and the whole person fell forward.

The massive body fell to the ground with a muffled thud.

Walking out from behind the shadows of the woods, Jiang Feng put away the pistol in his hand, stepped over the corpse of the barbarian warrior, and walked towards the wreckage of the half-elf village.

The lush woods are gone, and the dappled light and shadow that once shone through the leaves are now all that remains of dead branches and rotten leaves.

The walls of python-thick vines were burned to ashes by the fire of chaos that corrupted the creatures, and the treehouses were filled with arrows and hatchets, and the bloodstains were terrifying on the dark earth. These barbarians from the Far North Wasteland, with torches and axes in their hands, cut off the roots of the Tree of Life, and slaughtered the Ancient Tree of Life from the outer wall to the center, completely erasing the tradition of the half-elves from this land.

From the mottled bloodstains remaining on the stump, Jiang Feng vaguely saw the tragedy of yesterday's battle.

It was here that the daughters of those forests fought to the death against the barbarian tribes, and finally lost.

With a slight sigh in his heart, Jiang Feng stepped over the wreckage on the ground and walked towards the interior of the half-elf village.

As he expected, the barbarian tribes did not stop here, except for a few barbarians who cleaned up the battlefield here, the rest of them probably went deep into the forest to search for the half-elves who had escaped into the forest.

Some of them may have crossed the rocky beach and gone to the Samun tribe.

However, Jiang Feng didn't worry much about the safety of those Samons. For the irresistible enemies, he had already told them that there was no need to defend the tribe, the important thing was to save their lives. As long as people live, those things can be rebuilt at any time.

As for the shelter, there is no need to worry. Not to mention a few barbarians, even if it is a powerhouse from the wizarding continent or a starship sent by the nearby materialist camp Kata Alliance, it is impossible to get it.

Quietly eliminating a few barbarian warriors who stood in the way, Jiang Feng flowed across the river that crossed the half-elf village.

The towering tree had withered, and all that had been burned was the severed roots that came out of the ground, that is, the bare branches.

Standing under the mutilation of the Ancient Tree of Life, Jiang Feng sighed softly, regardless of whether it could still be heard, and said softly.

"The Elven King's sword has been handed over to the descendants of the Gondar family, and according to the agreement, I have come to receive my reward."

The ethereal sound of the wind blows through the woods.

In the midst of that wind, Jiang Feng vaguely heard Gu Shu's apologetic whisper, but it was already difficult to hear clearly.

After waiting quietly for a long time, he slowly closed his eyes.

Feeling the sound of the wind blowing in my ears, my consciousness was released outward, blending into the wind.

Peeling back the weak breeze, a faint natural breath loomed, and with the help of Zhi Brain, Jiang Feng finally caught its existence.

The ancient, heavy voice gradually became clearer.

“…… I'm sorry for Emily and me, my life has come to an end, and there's no way to tell them those old tales anymore. ”

"I promise you." Jiang Feng nodded.

"For my ending...... I had expected it, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly and so suddenly. The ancient tree sighed softly, as if reminiscing about the old days.

He guards the growth of a civilization, from budding to glory, and from glory to decline. He didn't know what the future would bring, but for now, he could finally close his eyes and get a good night's sleep.

"You know what? It was once a desert island, and the first tree on this island was planted by Mistress Emily. ”

Emily...... My lord? Jiang Feng frowned slightly.

"She was an elf, a beautiful and elegant lady. Her eyes are like the water of a lake, reflecting the future of the entire starry sky. The ancient tree sighed softly, as if caught in a memory, "I once asked her, even if spring does not come again, even if the earth is lava, even if the world is about to be destroyed tomorrow, what does it have to do with them?" Anyway, for them, it's just a change of habitat. And she told me she would feel bad. ”

Jiang Feng fell silent and did not speak.

When he was the captain of the Star Ring Era, his main task was to "clean up" and "recycle", he had seen too many civilizations destroyed, and he had personally pressed the button to wipe a civilization out of the star field.

For the elf with the same name as Emily, he couldn't accurately understand the "sadness", but it wasn't that he couldn't understand it......

After all, it is a place that has left traces, if the planet is destroyed...... Maybe there will be a trace of melancholy in his heart.

But how much melancholy can there be? He wasn't very clear.

"I have a question, Emily...... What does it have to do with that elf? Jiang Feng asked seriously.

"Looks like you've noticed, Emily is a little different about this kid."

There was a hint of relief in the wind.

Jiang Feng nodded slowly.

In fact, he had such confusion a long time ago. Why is it that only Emily can control the growth of plants and talk to them?

Jiang Feng had asked Leia, but it was obvious that Leia didn't know, and only vaguely told him that Emily, a child, had shown a talent different from other half-elves since she was a child.

"Actually, I don't know much more than you. All I can tell you is what I know...... Before leaving the planet, the great elf left behind a drop of blood and gave it to a half-elf maiden along with his name. Since then, babies with the ability to make withered flowers bloom have appeared every few hundred years. Traditionally, we would give her the name Emily. ”

"Is it blood......" Jiang Feng frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

The silence lasted for about five minutes, and the Ancient Tree of Life muttered for a moment before continuing to speak.

"You've noticed, I'm not a tree."

Jiang Feng didn't speak, just nodded silently.

He had discovered this when he first came to the Half-Elf Village, and it had been recognized by Krees Morrowind himself.

In its body, he saw an evil technology. That is the use of biotechnology to fuse people and plants to obtain the lifespan of plants, so as to bridge the time when even stones will be weathered.

In the Federally ruled galaxy, any individual, organization, or scientific research institution that uses biotechnology to fuse intelligent beings with plants, regardless of whether the legal person is a federal citizen or a vassal race, will face at least ten counts of prosecution from all walks of life, civil or official groups.

"Before leaving the planet, Emily planted a tree on the desert island and released an elk. The elk is Noyce, and the tree is me. "Noyce used his eyes to save his people once more. And I, too, finally waited for you at the last moment of my life. ”

"I don't have much time, and I'll leave it to you to think about these troublesome questions. I have kept this secret for two thousand years on behalf of my ancestors, as prophesied, and now I give it to you. ”

Jiang Feng was slightly startled in his heart, and suddenly grabbed something in his mind and blurted out.

"Wait, prophecy? What prophecy? Could it be that those Elphs predicted that I would come here more than 2,000 years ago?! ”

How is this possible?!

Can those Elphs still be able to predict the catastrophe that will occur in the galaxy?

However, the ancient tree did not respond to his question, maybe it didn't know at all, or maybe it knew something, and it didn't have so much time to answer.

“…… The entrance is directly opposite you, under the third tree root from the left, don't touch it with your hands, but with your spirit. My ancestors buried their heritage at my feet...... Now, it's yours. ”
