Turalone is a forest in the southwest of the continent, because of the inaccessible land, there have been elves settled here since more than 100 years ago, and then gradually more and more, becoming the most elven place on the continent.

For the elves, the Whispering Forest, the birthplace of the race far to the East, is a sacred place that does not eat the fireworks of the world, and this is their own kingdom. Although they have always retained the arrogance and loftiness unique to their culture, it is probably the reason why they have finally been contaminated with the fireworks of the world, and many places have become open. The spirits here also mingled with humans, gradually changing to a more practical way of life instead of many of the rituals and prayers.

Today a human guest came with a teleportation scroll. This is a rare occurrence, as the elves are very selective in their interactions with humans due to their personality and culture. And the only people who can get the scroll of the Turalone Teleportation Magic Circle must be people who the elves can afford, and this kind of person is usually very rare.

But even if there are few, Cedros must be one of them. Whether it's the land of humans or the dwarven dungeons, he will always be the most popular guest. His profound magical skills are admired by any magic user, his vast knowledge and innovative insights make him accessible to all rulers, and his kind personality and broad communication skills make it easy for him to make friends. He had interacted with the elven elders here when he had traveled around the continent before.

The giant corpse dragon had been walking at a slow pace towards Ofu, and it would arrive in about three or four days. He had already figured out how to deal with this almost invincible behemoth, but there had to be some magic items that only the Turaluen elves had.

As soon as he arrived, he heard that the elders were meeting with the envoys sent by the Whispering Forest.

The Whispering Forest has never asked about any mundane affairs in the outside world, and rarely contacts the elves outside, but this time he actually sent an envoy, it should be something very important. It made him a little worried. He hadn't been to the Whispering Forest, but he knew from the elves the constant contempt for humans there. If this envoy had imposed this ethos on the elders, he would have to return empty-handed this time.

Surprisingly, when the news of his arrival was reported, the elves invited him to the conference hall.

Stepping into the conference hall, Cedros first greeted the elven elder friends.

"You've come at the right time. Originally, we were going to find a way to inform you. An elven elder beckoned Sedlos to sit down, pointed to a silver-haired female elf in the seat, and said to Sedlos, "This is the envoy sent from the Whispering Forest, Lord Rua." Then he pointed to Cedros and introduced: "This is the Mr. Sedelos we just talked about, a great magician and scholar, who has very good relations with many human countries and religions. ”

"Hello. Cedros smiled and nodded to the envoy. The envoy's appearance was also very beautiful among the elves who were already clear and elegant, and it didn't quite match the sluggish and old-fashioned imagination that came from the Whispering Forest, but it was a bit of an innocent and naïve seven emotions. She didn't answer, but looked at Cedros frowning with a look of disgust, and it could be seen that she was indeed quite biased or bad about humans.

"That's right. We are notifying all the countries and groups with which we interact to help us find a wanted person. We hope you can help us as well. The Elven Elder handed Cedros a portrait. "This is the painting of our Special Envoy himself. ”

The portrait depicts a young human male. The elves' hands have always been very skillful, and their movements are very delicate, and it can be seen that the envoy must be very impressed by this person, so although he has not learned the art of drawing, the appearance of this person is still vividly displayed on the page.

Cedros looked at the portrait, frowned, and asked, "What exactly did this man do?"

Even the old elves have no experience in capturing and analyzing subtle expressions, which are the stunts of human sophisticants who are skilled at intrigue in complex environments. So none of the elves had any doubts about his expression.

"This human has stolen several of our important things from the Whispering Forest, and we must get them back. So please Mr. Sedlos you must help, we know that your popularity and connections in human society are very extensive, I hope you can at least figure out who this person is and where he is now. ”

"Don't worry. I'm sure it won't be long before there is good news. Cedros's eyes flickered only a few times, and he immediately replied with a slight smile in the affirmative. "But in fact, I also went to the Three Treasures Hall this time, I hope you can give me a few small things. ”

Naturally, his small requests were immediately agreed.

It was already nightfall when we returned to Oufu. Cedros immediately sent the goods to the city's blacksmith's workshop, where the blacksmith had been secretly hired from the Calondo Basin and was highly skilled enough to craft weapons according to his requirements.

It was late at night when he came out of the workshop, and Cedros dragged his exhausted body back. So far, at least, everything seems to be going well, but even then he is only about eighty percent sure of the plan to bring down this monster.

Probably. That's enough for a lot of things, but you have to be pretty sure about it. Once it fails, there is no way back, and the entire Oufu, the city that he has built with more than ten years of painstaking planning, will turn into ashes.

And there's another problem that's giving him a headache. What is it necessary to ensure that the 'nucleus' is intact in the attack? If you just crush it, the problem is much simpler.

Although Xiao Yi had been promised to heal the young man, it was to let her go back with peace of mind. Even if the 'core' is taken out intact, it is a legendary treasure after all, is it really used to save people? Or should it be handed over to the elves? What should Xiao Yi do?

"I think you must have a headache right now. Cedros looked down and thought about the words he had just heard as he entered the room, and he looked up and immediately saw a man who had not expected to appear here at all. "I went to ask the officials in the city, and they said you were busy, so I had to wait for you here. The man was dressed ordinarily, as if he were sitting in a casual position, but the crudely made chair from the hands of the orc apprentice seemed to be infected by his temperament, as if it were a noble piece of furniture made by a master craftsman.

Cedros smiled and said, "I remember you used to have a specialty that was to help people with headaches. Since you're here at this time, you won't disappoint me. I have a lot of headaches. ”

The man smiled and said, "I hope one night is enough." Actually, I have a headache too, so I came to you and planned to work together to cure it. I came quietly by flying tricks, and I had to go back before dawn. ”

Three days later. A place more than ten miles south of Oufu City.

Cedros, Gru, and Xiao Yi watched as the huge figure of the corpse dragon slowly appeared on the horizon. There were also more than a dozen lizardmen pushing more than a dozen huge ballistas next to him.

The ballista was two people long and one person wide, and the bolt was more than one person long, and the force was huge enough to shoot through any shield within 500 meters. And combined with the lizardman's eyesight that can adjust the focal length, this is even more terrifying weapon. The arrows now placed on them were specially made, and the arrows contained a long, spiraling, sharp horn, which was the horn of a unicorn that Cedros had asked for from the forests of Turalea.

"It's a magical work of art, and I really can't bear to destroy it. Cedros shook his head with some sigh.

Gru said lightly, "But I'm interested in dealing with it. He looked at the clothes on Xiao Yi next to him. "If I could, I really wanted to be able to fight it head-on. ”

Only those who have practiced the Dark Meditation Technique can fully exploit the protective power of that robe. Otherwise, the skin exposed outside the robe would not be able to withstand the burning of magic either. Gru had insisted that he wear this suit to fight the monster face to face, but after being persuaded by Cedros to give up on this dangerous idea.

After the giant monster spews out flames, the mana will fluctuate due to re-condensation and change, and the body's protection will be minimized. He knew that Xiao Yi's skills were very good, and only her petite figure could cover her body along with her head and face after putting on a robe, so let her act as this bait.

There is another important reason. Cedros wanted her to do the task herself. Let her get the World Tree Leaf with her own hands and heal the person who also saved her with the World Tree Leaf, so that she can go back to do what she should do without regrets.

In his hand was a spear that had been made by the blacksmiths of Oufu during the past three days. The professional styling ensures that the thrower's strength and accuracy can be maximized. The tip of the spear is also the horn of a unicorn, and a small cross is attached to the tip of the horn.

The necklace of this cross is actually made of crystal with extraordinary craftsmanship, and the cross is a rare magic jade. It is an ore that can only be found in the Sandface Mountains, where giant beasts and thunderbirds are infested, and it can be added with unique magical properties after being tempered by magic, and it is almost priceless for magicians.

There will never be many magicians who possess such a thing, and there will not be more than five people in the whole continent who are willing to carve it into a talisman without making it into a staff.

The corpse dragon slowly approached, and suddenly his pace quickened. It didn't have eyes, but it sensed that the few breaths that had caused it the damage a few days ago were in the distance, so it instinctively sped up. It was going to rush up and melt all the uncomfortable things in its own flames.

"Alright, let's get started. Cedros said. Xiao Yi nodded and looked at the huge monster. The huge body like a mountain was full of corpses, and with every step there was a loud noise, and the corpses seemed to be shaking alive on their own, and they rushed towards this side with the smell of corpses in their faces, which did not seem to be something that human beings could compete with.

"Knocking down this monster can really save him, right?" asked Xiao Yi.

"Yes. Absolutely. Cedros nodded.

It was as if she was trying to get such an affirmative answer to increase her courage. He shouted vigorously, "Okay." I went. "Riding his horse and rushing towards the corpse dragon.

Cedlos pinched the tip and body of the spear with both hands and began to chant the incantation. A pitch-black mist spread from the spear's body, and the unicorn's horn glowed with a dazzling white light.

This is the 'Dark Power' of dark spells and the 'Pure Blade' of white magic, and it is not a very advanced spell that can be used by a medium-sized magician. But if you want to attach these two spells to a weapon at the same time without conflicting, then only Cedros can do it on the entire continent.

The unicorn's horn has the trait of being able to exorcise dark and necromantic spells, but it is also a very rare magic item. Only elves who are close to unicorns have them. The 'Pure Blade' attached to it is specially designed to deal with necromantic monsters, and is enough to break through the sturdy bodies of living corpses. More importantly, it is possible to ensure that the small necklace hanging from the spearhead is fed into the body made of the corpse.

'The Power of Darkness' allows the weapon to convert mana into explosive impact as soon as it comes into contact with the opponent's body. Although it is only a one-time burst, it can greatly increase the lethality of the weapon. The attack power of such a weapon is no less than that of a legendary weapon that specializes in dealing with undead monsters in the short time that these magic are in effect. What's more, the cross with which the spearhead carries contains great white magic energy.

Cedros is now confident in this plan. But his greatest confidence was not in the weapon he had gathered with so much energy and magic, nor in the great assistance of an old friend, but in the man who was about to throw it. He handed the spear in his hand to Gru.

He can already be regarded as the most knowledgeable and well-informed person on this continent. But if there is anything he doesn't know, it's this friend who has been friends for a long time. He still didn't know what kind of power was contained in his body. But just know one thing, it's a force that will never disappoint.

Xiao Yi's man and horse were already approaching, as insignificant as a small insect against the backdrop of the corpse dragon's huge body. Green flames were erupting from the dragon's mouth, covering everything within a radius of hundreds of meters in an instant.

"Okay, release the arrows. Cedlos gave the order. The lizardmen pulled the trap, and more than a dozen one-man-long crossbow arrows shot out, shooting at the corpse dragon's chest according to a predetermined plan. The unicorn's horn broke open the surface of the corpse dragon and pinned it to its chest. The dozen or so crossbow arrows formed a circle, enclosing the position of the leaves of the World Tree inside.

Gru lunged forward with his spear. With just one step, dust and stones from the surrounding ground flew to the side.

When he took the second step, even Cedros next to him had the illusion that the entire ground had fallen with this step.

In the third step, all the white light on his body was concentrated in his hand, and his body tilted into a huge arc. With this arc suddenly straightened, the spear flew out of his hand.

Those who have heard the lightning and thunder will never panic at the explosion of the cannonball, and those who see this spear thrown with their own eyes will never feel that there is any power in thunder and lightning at all, even the power of heaven and earth will be lost at this moment.

Just this hundredth of an eye, the splendor of time, the mighty and wild is enough for everyone who sees it with their own eyes to reminisce about a century.

With the light of black and white, the spear roared and galloped through with a power that was invincible and devastating, as if it could penetrate the whole world. The air around them was violently evacuated, and the roar could tear people's skin apart. Where the spear flew, all the dirt and stones on the ground were lifted, leaving a ditch as straight as an artificial channel.

There was only a roar, and the corpse dragon's originally tough body was as loose as water-soaked bread under such a majesty, and there was no sound of impact, and this fierce light was in the middle of the circle surrounded by the horns of the unicorn, and the front chest and back of the corpse dragon penetrated a huge circular tunnel that could be walked in. The corpses that fell from the sky fell into the green flames and disappeared without a trace.

The spear itself did not penetrate deep into the body of the corpse dragon. In the huge impact, all the unicorn horns shattered along with the cross of the magic jade, unleashing a huge amount of white magic, which burst out with the violent impact contained in the spear itself, tearing the body of the corpse dragon within the range to pieces.

A turquoise leaf floated down from the massive hollow in the corpse dragon's body. The white magic of the massive impact did not damage the leaf, which contained the life force.

As the leaf fell, the corpse dragon's body began to disintegrate. Like a huge building block, the main heart bone was suddenly sucked away, and hundreds of corpses completely collapsed at once. The monster that was strong enough to despise all living beings in this world just now has become a large pile of stinky pieces of flesh in the blink of an eye.

Without the support of their life force, the corpses immediately began to turn into piles of mud and black water after falling, bursting out the long-held decay in one go.

The horse that had been ridden had completely disappeared in the green flames. Xiao Yi immediately shrank his hands and feet into his robe when the green fire rolled in, holding his head and shrinking into a ball. Hearing the roar, she felt the flames around her dissipate, and she pulled her head and hands and feet out of the wide robe.

But she almost fainted immediately. The stench of the corpse's rapid decomposition at the same time not only caused great damage to the nose, but tears also rolled out under the attack of the smell, as if even the ears could hear the sound of the corpse's tissues festering and disintegrating and producing a huge smell raging in the air.

'Disease prevention', 'poison healing', 'healing'..... She immediately used several white magic spells on herself, then pulled up her robe and covered her nose, slowly opening her eyes into a small slit. Her magic was learned from Cedros, and she was also able to use it in almost every system, but it wasn't very sophisticated.

Among the countless decomposing corpses in front of them, a small pile of corpses could be seen, still in their original state. Xiao Yishen walked through the rotten flesh and corpse water and skeleton one foot at a time, and mustered up the courage to open the corpse, and the turquoise leaves were pressed between the corpses. Even among the countless corpses, the leafy business was not affected in the slightest, and it was still so bright and dazzlingly green. Xiao Yi took the leaves in his hand, and the corpses around him immediately began to fester.

A white ball of light suddenly flew towards it from the distant hills, as fast as a crossbow arrow but without any wind sound. Seeing that he was about to hit Xiao Yi, another flash of lightning came first, and a soft 'snap' hit the small ball of light. The ball of light itself was not affected by anything, but was slightly changed by this blow, and hit a few steps next to Xiao Yi.

With a bang, the explosion sent her flying and landed heavily on the ground. Xiao Yi stood up, if it weren't for the robe on her body, just this concussion would be enough to seriously injure her. She looked left and right, and immediately saw several more balls of light flying towards here and here in the distance. Before she even had time to think about what was going on, she hurried towards the way she came.

Similarly, a few subtle bolts of lightning struck the balls of light, just altering their trajectory so that the deadly mana was nothing more than pouring out onto the ground around them.

In the dense explosion sound, dirt, rotting pieces of flesh, corpse water, and bones flew all over the sky, like a rain of dead fireworks. Xiao Yi flew towards the road in this dense explosion, and the loud noises and air waves around her seemed to drown her in at any moment.

Gru snorted coldly as he looked at the place where the ball of light flew out, and stretched out his hand to Cedros.

Cedros spread his hand, and an icicle the thickness of a wine glass more than a person took shape in his hand. This is the water-based magic 'Thunderbolt Ice' used by an intermediate magician, which originally only launched the water-based mana onto the target and generated ice spikes in the target's body to cause damage, but Cedros condensed the mana in his hand and condensed the water in the surrounding air into ice.

Gru took the icicle from Cedros and took two steps forward and threw it. The ice spear tore through the air in front of it desperately, screaming and flying straight towards the mountain in the distance.

On the top of the hill, the furious lich waved his hands incessantly. The highest level of air attack magic, the Thunder Blaster, was fired wildly in her hands like the cheapest fireball technique. The fact that what she thought was perfect and invincible was completely destroyed like a toy in the blink of an eye made Vidrina extremely angry.

But no matter how dense her magic was, Ronis next to her always flicked his fingers, and tiny bolts of lightning immediately struck each thunderball. This lightning spell is not very powerful, and may not be able to be knocked down by even a normal soldier, but its speed and accuracy are very well controlled.

The last remaining expression on Vidnina's face was completely distorted, and she glared at Ronis fiercely, her body rising upwards. She must not allow the leaves of the World Tree to be taken away, she will use her flying skills to kill all the people there and get them back.

But a loud bang completely interrupted her movements and emotions.

The sound of cracking after a violent collision of real objects is not something that a magic explosion can make. An icicle stuck just a few steps away from her, rubble flying. It's just that the fragile ice has carved a large hole in the solid granite with great strength, and the crack spreads in all directions. The icicles stand like a monument to destruction and power, shining in the sun.

Sandru looked at the ice spear in a daze, then turned to Ronis and said, "If the students of the Magic Academy see this, I guarantee that at least half of them will immediately abandon the demon and learn martial arts." ”

The lich's body was just a shell, but at least Vidnika had the feeling that she was sweating. This time, if it hits her body, it can make her scatter like a pile of rags.

Before she even had time to see it, the ice spear had already been inserted beside her with the power of opening mountains and splitting rocks. And she knew that even if she saw it clearly, there was nothing she could dodge, it was not something that her body could dodge, and there was absolutely no magic that could protect against such a direct attack.

She now felt like something in her body was shattering. She found that this body of hers, the highest crystallization of human intelligence, the body with the highest magic power on the entire continent, turned out to be so fragile that it only took a moment to become a pile of rags.

She had always been proud of the beauty she had traded for the beauty of all beings that had turned all beings upside down, proud that she had surpassed any living being, proud of being able to age without succumbing to the power of time, which made her truly feel that she was beyond everything in this world. Especially after creating the huge and invincible corpse dragon, she felt that she had become a god, and she could already compete with the creator. But in this short period of time, she has not yet come to her senses from the shock of the failure of her work, and she immediately realizes that she can actually die in an instant, just like everyone else, and completely disappear from this world.

The spear did not hit her, but it had shattered all her faith and faith. She knew that if she really dared to fly over, such an attack would definitely turn her into a pile of bone fragments before she could react.

Gru frowned. From here, the three of Vidnina were just small black spots, and the distance was too far for the spear to miss. He reached out to Cedros. "Give me another one. ”

Cedros smiled, glanced at the three people in the distance, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, we're done." Let's go. Xiao Yi took advantage of this time to run back. The trio mounted and led the lizardmen towards Orfo.

It took a long time for Vidnina to come out of this mood. The pain of defeat and loss turned into hostility and anger, and he yelled at Ronis, "Is it you who did it? they have no reason to know the strength of the fluctuations between magic transformations and to time their attacks so well, no one but you can infuse such a large amount of white magic into a weapon." Her anger made her forget all her politeness, and the green flame behind the prosthetic eyes seemed to burst out of her eyes and go straight to cauterize Ronis on the other side.

Sandru also looked at him and smiled: "I just said that three days ago, you went to the toilet that night, why did you go to the toilet all night, and I thought you were ....."

"Even if I don't interfere, your work will be defeated, and I'm just helping someone save the next World Tree leaf. Ronis said with a smile and a sarcastic tone. "Didn't you say that what we have done is just a cog of history?

Hearing this, Vidnika suddenly fell silent.

From excitement to immobility, she immediately became silent, and she didn't even breathe, so it seemed as if she had suddenly become an ornament, a dead thing.

After a while, she returned to her original state and bowed respectfully to Ronis: "I'm sorry, the student offended the teacher by being rude in a hurry, and I hope the teacher won't be surprised." ”

"Many people will be blamed. Sandru sighed. "If it weren't for the fact that I'm here, you'd probably kill him. ”

The lich did not react to Sandru's words, but said faintly in her unpleasant voice, "I have thought it through. It's all the turning of the gears of fate, and it's all supposed to happen....."

Ronis interrupted her lightly: "I don't fight with you about these ethereal conceptual issues, no matter how much you fight, we will all just do our own thing." It was, and it always has been. He gave the student one last glance. "Looks like we're probably not going to get a chance to meet again. I don't want to see each other again. ”

Vidnina was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes." She looked up at Ronis again, a green glow behind her eyes. "But at the end I want to give the teacher a hint, which I just discovered..... The person who wore the robe of the Ghost King just now and took the leaves of the World Tree should have been a young woman. Why did my classmate, who was willing to use the leaves of the World Tree to save women, let a woman wear his clothes to take such a risk? And why were you willing to use your amulet to protect the leaves of the World Tree? As I said, the outcome must have been predestined. ”

Ronis still said lightly: "I said it too, and I just said it." You believe yours, I believe mine, and we'll do our own thing. ”

"Yes, the stage has been opened, whether it is all those prosperous and false developments, wars, politics, or whatever, it will be staged, but the result is certain. In the future, we will each play our own roles and push this history where it should be. Goodbye, two teachers. Vidnina pulled open a teleportation scroll, and a blue-white glow began to glow around her body.

Ronis suddenly asked, "I'll ask one last question, I heard that you have a son?"

"I don't know. Forgot. Still hoarse and eccentric without any emotion, Vidnina's figure completely disappeared into the blue-and-white magical light.

Sandru looked at the vanishing light, shook his head with emotion, and said, "This person is actually good at everything, really good. Then he shook his head and sighed as if he were commenting on the shortcomings. "It's just that the brain is too smart, too good at thinking about things, and too many things. ”

"As soon as humans think, the gods laugh. No matter how much you think about it, people are just people. Ronis also took out the teleportation scroll from his bosom. "Let's go back too. ”

Sandru suddenly showed a very panicked expression and said, "Oops, I now remember that I left in too much hurry after receiving your notice, and the food was still burning on the fire." That pot that I like very much must have burned out, do you think it should be counted in the account of the Academy of Magic?"

Ronis smiled slightly, took out a book from his bosom and gave it to him, and said, "I thought about it, and it would be better to return this book to you." ”

"Oh, thank you. But that pot still has to be compensated. Sandru took the book in his arms, took out the teleportation scroll and pulled it open with Ronis, and the two of them disappeared together in the light of magic.

The three Cedros soon returned to Ofo. Xiao Yi took out the leaves of the World Tree and fed them to Asa.

Cedros watched the leaves of the World Tree disappear into Asa's mouth, shook his head and sighed, "If you can make full use of the energy in it, this thing can make five low-level magic apprentices become legendary Great Demon Daoists in the blink of an eye." If it could be chopped up, it could be used to make ten priceless magical items. If it could be studied and experimented for decades, and the way in which the power was constituted could be fully analyzed, it would surely lead to a revolution in magic that would change the entire world. But now it can only be used to save one person. ”

Asa's body began to glow with a golden glow, and then his body twitched slightly.

At first, it was just a twitch, and gradually it turned into a convulsion violently, every muscle in the body was beating, and the bones and joints of the body also made a fine crackling sound. The hands wrapped in the gauze twitched and then snapped the gauze away, revealing a pair of intact hands.

The light on his body was getting brighter and brighter, and the light emanated from every skin, as if it weren't a person, but a block of carbon that was burning with the light. Eventually, the light faded and disappeared, and the twitching of the body slowly subsided. Asa lay on the bed as if he had just fallen asleep.

Cedros looked at it and said, "It's all right, but he should sleep for another day or two before his body fully recovers and wakes up." ”

Xiao Yi's hand stroked his dark hair, and then slowly slid across his forehead, brow bone, and straight nose to his lips. She looked at him for a long time as if she were going to burn him in her own eyes, then got up and said to Cedros, "Thank you, sir, for saving him." ”

Cedros shook his head and said, "If it weren't for you, I would never have used the leaves of the World Tree to save him." So it's not me who saved him, it's you who saved him. ”

Xiao Yi said lightly: "No matter what, I want to thank you, and I have to trouble Mr. to take care of him in the past two days." ”

"Will you go back now?" asked Cedros.

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Yes." If you have already promised something, you will naturally do it, and there is no point in delaying it, it is not too early. ”

"You're such a sensible child. Cedros sighed, and he suddenly felt a little guilty, and took a scroll from his bosom and gave it to her. "This is the teleportation scroll that Bishop Ronis left to you. ”
