Chapter 59: Reversal
The Grand Elder burps after handing Naya over to Will.
Of course, in the Elven parlance, their great and revered Elven Elder has returned to the Spirit of Nature and has been given eternal rest.
Well, whether it's burp or permanent rest, the Great Elder just let it go, and then, a whole bunch of troubles began to come at Will.
It turned out that the treehouse that the Great Elder had at the top of the canopy was now Will's lord's house. This room is not large, but you can clearly see the whole condition of Naya.
Walking in the woods, Will saw that the whole of Naya was completely barren woodland, covered with wilting and wilting leaves, and occasionally two skinny night vultures flapping their wings and soaring over the woodland.
In one word, it is poor!
In two words, it is very poor!
At this moment, Naya's elder Cober and several druids were in the lord's room to introduce Naya's information to Will.
"Naya now has five thousand six hundred and thirty-two elves, of which three hundred and fifty-two are elven archers, one hundred and thirty-one huntresses, twenty druids, and one archdruid. In addition, there are 20 night vultures and more than 50 night tooth leopards. ”
Will picked up the wooden teacup and took a sip of water. With a faint fragrance filling his taste buds, Will nodded.
The elven girl Arya stood behind Will with a longbow on her back, completely playing the role of a maid, serving tea and pouring water for Will.
Cobb continued, "But we don't have much food in stock. Because of the withering of the Tree of Life, the Ancient Tree of Fire has also withered one after another, and it is no longer possible to provide us with enough Momiji Fruit and other fruits, and we currently have less than a month's worth of food. Moreover, the War Ancient Tree can no longer provide us with materials to make arrows and armor, and the Beast Ancient Vine that raises the Demon Beasts cannot normally provide food and grass for the Demon Beasts and give birth to their cubs......."
Will nodded, if he hadn't guessed wrong, he should have been put on the spot by the old thing of the Great Elder.
said that he handed over Naya to himself, and there was some fate and karma involved, but this elf stronghold is completely a big mess at the moment, with more than 5,000 mouths waiting to be fed. If you don't come by yourself, this stronghold will have to be finished in another month.
Cober continued to introduce the following in a chattering voice, but Will really didn't have the patience to listen, waved his hand, and asked, "Judging from the situation you just introduced, the essence of Naya's decline is the decline of the Tree of Life, right?"
Cober nodded helplessly and said, "Yes, the Tree of Life has fallen due to the curse, but we are powerless to cure it. The Living Tree is the mother of all Ancient Trees in the Colony. Without the birth of the Tree of Life, the other ancient trees began to decline one after another, and the whole of Naya fell into chaos. ”
"Cursed?"
"It's the abominable sandmen, and the giant sandworm you saw outside the barrier was the one they raised. They cursed the Tree of Life three years ago, leaving Naya in crisis. Their curse was so vicious that within three years we had tried everything we could to cure it. ”
The entire elven stronghold is centered on the Tree of Life, which breeds other ancient trees, and the other ancient trees provide the elves with the needs for production and life. The elves use natural magic and have a mission to protect the Living Tree and other ancient trees. One ring after another seems to be tight, but once the core tree of life is destroyed, then everything else will be out of the question.
"I once read the information of the sandmen in the book, although they are good at cursing, but if they want to curse a tree of life, they don't have the ability to do it!"
"Yes, curse the Tree of Life, and the Sandmen deserve it! They now occupy the Temple of the Dead in Osiris, and have obtained an artifact in the temple. With the help of that artifact, they were able to successfully curse the Tree of Life. ”
"Temple of the Dead?" Will said in surprise.
Will's strange tone quickly caught the attention of the crowd, but they didn't dig deeper. "They only occupy part of the outer edge of the Temple of the Dead as a lair and haven't penetrated into it yet. ”
It really didn't take much effort to get it, and the exact location of the Temple of the Dead was obtained.
Speaking of this, Cober sighed helplessly, "After all, if the Tree of Life can grow into an Ancient Tree of Life, how can we be afraid of the despicable tricks of those sandmen. ”
Although there is only one word difference between the Tree of Life and the Ancient Tree of Life, there is a world of difference.
The Ancient Tree of Life has a stronger vitality and can turn the barren hills into green soil, which can not only expand the area of the elven stronghold, but also give birth to more numbers and types of ancient trees.
These ancient trees play an important role, providing the materials needed for the elves to live and fight, giving birth to more magical beasts, and allowing the elves' abilities to grow rapidly.
Not only that, but with the Ancient Tree of Life, the elves can summon powerful guardians to guard the stronghold, and the giant sandworms and sandmen in the time zone will not even pay attention.
In short, it is the perfect counterattack of the short and poor towards the rich and handsome.
Cober and a group of druids are immersed in the bright future.
"So how can the Tree of Life grow into an Ancient Tree of Life?"
Will asked at the right time, breaking the lust of the middle-aged uncles.
"If it grows naturally, it will theoretically take another thousand years. ”
The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is the backbone. Not to mention a thousand years, they don't even have a month now.
"Is there any other way?" asked Will.
"The current Elven Tree of Life is all a branch of the original three World Trees, and theoretically it is possible for them to grow into the World Tree. As long as we can obtain the Heva Fountain or the Moon Essence, we can grow it into an Ancient Tree of Life in a short period of time!"
"Moon Essence, what's that?"
"It was a potion made by ancient druids during the heyday of the elves, and only a few copies have been handed down to this day. In the land of the wild moon now, only those dark elves have a bottle!"
Arya explained behind Will.
"Arya, needless to say, even if we die, we won't beg those dark elves!" said Elder Cobber with a wave of his sleeve.
Will asked curiously, "Why? Because of the racial barrier, or because of the difference in faith, or do you think they are evil?"
"We're not so superficial!"
Cober shouted loudly, "Both we and the dark elves believe in the spirits of nature, we dwell above the land, and they dwell under the land. But every time the moon is full, we make offerings to the spirits of nature. But do you know how far they did?"
Will shook his head, looking curious.
"Every time we offer a meal, according to tradition, we will make sweet sand filling, but those who are rebellious want to replace it with salty filling, which is unbearable!"
“.......!”
