Chapter 50: Difficult Choices
"Hefina?" Dineh was stunned, "That's the officer on duty in the Hall of Elders." ”
"Which Sage is she closest to?"
"It's hard to say. Di Ning frowned and said, "The so-called duty officer is a person who serves the elders, records the content of the meeting, and handles some miscellaneous matters. Shefina herself is an ordinary mid-level mage. Why did you ask her? Does this dead warrior have anything to do with her?"
It turned out to be the secretary of the Council of Elders, Xiao Chen decided to tell the truth and told these people everything he saw.
"That's what you say. Are there a few Sages who have their own ideas that are different from the other Elders?" Dinen paced back and forth, "I haven't had any contact with Sages lately. Maya didn't leave her house at all, Elaina, you should have met the three Sages a few times in the past two days, do you have any ideas?"
Elaina shook her head and said, "I can guess what the elders are thinking. I can only guarantee that I did not participate in such a program. ”
Xiao Chen said: "In this case, let's put this problem aside for a while." But there's another very important question for you. What is the relationship between the being in Garland's mouth and the god of nature? If it really has a clear connection to the god of nature. Or even its incarnation, what will you do?"
"I think it's a demon in the name of the god of nature. How could the god of nature deprive an elf of his will. And he has been asleep for so many years, how could he suddenly appear here and make the World Tree wither?" Elaina clenched her fists, such a thought was a great challenge for her, and she looked at the others in a bit of a panic. But Maya lowered her head in confusion, while Dinen looked up at the white mist above her head.
Xiao Chen knew that the three of them showed such an attitude, which meant that they were beginning to doubt and fear in their hearts. These guys are still struggling with whether the gods of nature will harm the elves, but the Dahni Sage is ready to deal with the poison of the gods of nature. Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy.
"The Dark Elves are the guardians of the World Tree, and since we became a race ourselves, we have guarded things differently from the High Elves, and nothing is more important to me than the World Tree. Whoever endangers the World Tree is my enemy. Xiao Chen didn't expect that it was Evelyn, who had always spoken very little, to speak first, and she also said so much in a long way.
Xiao Chen nodded approvingly at her and said, "Most of us Chinese don't believe in God. Now that I've agreed to solve the problem of the World Tree, there's nothing stopping me. ”
"I follow the will of adults, God or not, it has nothing to do with me. Roger said.
Seeing that the three of them were still hesitating, Xiao Chen took out the two crystal bottles given to him by the Daheni Sage from the traveler's heart, "Here are the two bottles that the Dahni Sage gave me before, the red one is the 'God Eclipse Elixir', and the green one is the 'Rebirth Elixir'. Originally, if the matter didn't involve the god of nature, I wouldn't have to take out the 'Elixir of God Eclipse', but when we understand the current situation, we must make it clear to you so that there is no misunderstanding. ”
"Elixir of God Eclipse?" Maya didn't bow her head in thought when she heard the name, and hurriedly ran over and leaned over to the side of the bottle, "Can I take a look?"
"Please. ”
Maya picked up the bottle and looked at it carefully for a while, then took a deep breath and said. "It's true, is it true that the Dahni Sage really wants to turn his back...... Do you want to take a different path?"
"What is the Elixir of God Eclipse?" Elaina asked.
"The things in the Spirit Tower, it's terrifying. It is not harmful to humans at all. Using it on the elves will eliminate the blessings of the clans, and on the gods and things related to them, it can dissolve their divine powers. Artifacts will turn into ordinary items, and gods will be weakened. I know that the elders have gathered some of this in order to deal with the remnants of the Old Gods. The Dahni Sage actually asked you to bring the divine power to deal with this place!" Maya spoke quickly, both excitedly and nervously.
"Maybe we should reach out to your teacher through the Tree Heart Web. Dinen said.
"For some reason, the teacher cut off the connection with the Tree Heart Network. Try it yourself. Elaina said.
"It's really broken. ”
Elaina lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head again and said, "My teacher has made this matter clear enough. I know how to do it, I'm on the teacher's side. ”
"Elaina!" Maya and Dinen shouted at the same time.
"I believe in the wisdom of my teachers. As the High Priestess of Rain and Dew, no one in the entire kingdom cares more about the well-being and future of the elves than she does. Elaine emphasised loudly that perhaps she would have to give herself enough confidence.
"I see, the three of us have always been together, and of course I will go in and out with you. Maya's voice grew softer and softer, and finally she seemed to be muttering to herself, "Actually, I'm not a devout believer, I just can't turn my head around all of a sudden." ”
"I only have one request, and that is to understand the situation beforehand. Don't be reckless. Dineen didn't speak with the usual vigor at this time, but instead showed obvious hesitation in his words, "I think I should at least leave a chance to ask him why he did this." ”
"Of course. I know what to do. Xiao Chen put away the two bottles of potion. Now the thinking of this squad has finally been initially unified. If they don't get vaccinated, the team will fall apart in case of an emergency.
————————————
The team walked towards the location where Spider Eleven had been sacrificed earlier, and Maya sent another spider to finally find out what the elven warriors were guarding: it was the taproot of the World Tree, as if something was attached to it.
In the process of traveling, Xiao Chen used the soul bridge to connect Elaina's consciousness.
"I have a suspicion about the Sage who made the 'plan'. Xiao Chen said in a conversation that others couldn't hear.
"Do you suspect it's my teacher, the Sage of Dahni?" Elaine asked.
"That's right. The Dahni Sage even had the 'Elixir of God Erosion' ready. Do you think she would have been unprepared?, and General Nord is his cousin, so their relationship should naturally be very close, right?" Xiao Chen speculated.
"But that doesn't mean much. I prefer to believe that the teacher's plan is the one that is told to you. Elaine said.
"Maybe. But we can't guess anything more at this point. Xiao Chen said.
"By the way, since there is a cousin, then the Daheni Sage is what you said, the only viviparous elf among the five Sages?"
"Yes. But that didn't stop her from becoming one of the highest elders in the realm. Although she was not good at fighting, she was the one who had gone the furthest in the Sanctuary. ”
"Hmm, that's it......" Xiao Chen squinted, not knowing what he was thinking.
