Chapter 174: The Withered Divine Tree

"This is where the guests of the church rest, but the popes should not be here now, they are most likely in the palace of the Empress now" The elven captain pointed to the trunk of the large tree, and vaguely saw that there was a palace there. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"This is it, I can still smell the Pope's grandfather," Guna flapped her wings and flew to the door of a house where Griffitz had stayed for one night.
"Since you're here, I'm leaving," the elven captain nodded at Francis and turned to leave.
"Didn't he want to spy on us, why did he just leave?" asked Philomena softly as she walked over to Francis.
"Isn't this forest, this tree still watching over our two Eighth Order?" Francis closed his eyes, his instinct telling him that there were many eyes around him watching him closely.
"Shall we stay here and wait for Grandpa or go out for a walk?" Philomena looked at Francis, asking for his opinion.
"Let's go shopping, stay here, I guess we'll have to wait a long time" Anyway, being watched by someone, it's not the same everywhere.
"Great, elves' magic props and all kinds of accessories are hard to find treasures, I need to buy more. When it comes to shopping, Philomena immediately mentions her interest, and the boring life of the holy mountain makes her yearn for the outside world.
"I also want to buy some accessories to go back and decorate my new home," Francis also plans to buy some accessories to go back. Every elf is a master artist, and hanging the elf's own handmade ornaments at home is definitely a symbol of taste.
"By the way, I haven't congratulated you on your housewarming yet."
"Needless to say, I'm a little embarrassed that the Pope's courtyard is too big, I thought I was in the wrong place when I first entered" Although he also helped Griffitz, Francis was a little ashamed of such a large courtyard.
"That's where my grandfather lived when he was a cardinal, and since he became the Pope, he moved into the Holy Mountain, and it's not better if it's a little bigger, and there seem to be quite a few people in your family," Philomena had also heard about the Aeus family, and there were probably many strong people in Francis's family now

"Well, what do you think of today?" asked Griffitz to his two old friends.
"I don't have a clue, I don't know anything about my earthy magic. It's really strange that the earth pulsates and doesn't feel anything strange at all," the old man in the earth-colored robe frowned, and his entangled brows never let go when he came out of the empress's palace.
"If it could be so simple, the Dark Church solved the problem two years ago, where would I still use it, please come here?Although my water healing ability is not as good as that of the light system, it stands to reason that I can suppress this situation a little bit, but ......" The blue-robed old mage pinched his chin and beard, very puzzled.
"It's really strange, the magic of the three of us should be very effective in healing to ......" Griffitz sighed, this matter can't be solved, I'm afraid the elves are about to be in a big disaster As an ally, the church doesn't want to lose such a powerful helper.
"Grandpa"
"Grandpa Pope" Just as the three of them walked into the courtyard in silence, two familiar voices came into Griffith's ears, which were the voices of Philomena and Guna.
“... You're actually in?" Griffitz looked at the two Francis standing in front of him in surprise, how did they get in when the martial law outside was so strong. The elves were surprised by Griffiths, who thought that Francis and Philomena would be stopped outside Divia, but they didn't expect them to be able to enter.
"This is your granddaughter?, it's really good, she's so good at a young age, it seems that you have a successor to your light magic," the blue-robed old man pinched his beard and praised Philomena.
"Indeed, unlike the two old fellows, there is still no offspring who fights for energy" The old man in the earth-colored robe looked curiously at Francis, who followed Philomena, and by the pulse of the earth, he could feel the powerful blood in Francis's body, and there was a terrifying power hidden in this body.
"Francis, you're here too" Griffitz knew the mission was complete when he saw Francis coming.
"Well, because I'm curious about what's going on here, I'm going to come and have a look. Seeing and observing the two old mages beside Griffitz, Francis had already guessed their identities.
"Let me introduce," Griffiths pulled the two old mages beside him. "This is Pope Vlac of the Church of the Waves, and his mastery of water magic is unparalleled. This is Pope Johnny of the Earth Church, and his earth-based magic can detect movements thousands of miles away. These two are both strong men on the Megatron side."
"This is Francis, you two old fellows, don't look at his young age, I took a lot of effort and cheekiness to invite him into the Church of Light" Griffiths smugly touched his beard, pulling Francis into the church was the wisest thing he thought he had done.
"Little friend really makes me ashamed," Johnny said humbly as he pulled on his robe after being shocked.
"It's... Shame on us old fellows," Frank tugged at the beard on his chin, and Francis suspected that he could pull it all out with a little push.
"I've seen two popes, and I've admired the name for a long time" Francis respectfully made a noble salute, although these two old men are only god-level, but they can see his strength at a glance, and they do have two brushes.
"Xiaoyou is too polite" The two popes didn't trust it, and immediately returned the salute.
"Griffiths, it looks like you have something to deal with, so the two of us won't bother" The two popes glanced at each other and walked away with great interest.
"Let's go, let's go into the house and talk," Griffitz walked over to the door, pushed it open, and walked in, and when Francis and the two entered, he immediately closed the door.
"Grandpa, my mission has been completed, thanks to Francis's help, otherwise I am afraid it will be very troublesome"
"Of course I know. By the time Francis promised me, I knew that there was no suspense in the mission," Griffitz nodded as a matter of course when he heard Philomena's words.
"Your Excellency, what's going on here?
"This tree...... I'm dying," though he wondered how Francis and the others had come in, Griffitz asked. Looking at Francis, Griffitz pointed to the green beneath his feet, his face solemn.
"The tree you are talking about... Be... This city of Divia?"
"Yes, it's this Heavenly Tree under our feet. The tree planted by the goddess of nature seems to have reached its last years."
"No, Divia, I remember in Elven language it means never wither, how can it die?" Philomena couldn't believe it, was it a joke?
"I didn't believe it when I heard it, but it was the way it was. The elven dwellings will soon wither."
“”
"Actually, two years ago, the tree began to show signs of withering," Griffitz moved a chair and sat down to explain what had happened, seeing Francis's frowning brow.
"Two years ago, Divia severed all ties with the elves and began to wither. The elves were shocked that all the wood-based magic was completely useless, and in desperation, the elven queen began to ask the dragons for help. When the dragons were helpless, the Dark Church suddenly appeared, temporarily halting Divia's withering trend with the Flower of Withering. However, the good times did not last long, and the medicinal power of the withered flower became weaker and weaker, and it soon lost its effect completely. The elves who had nothing to do could only find the Dark Church again, but the Dark Church had no way to save Divia, so the Elven Queen asked for help like other churches, especially me, Johnny and Flac, and even came in person."
"Presumably, the three popes must also be helpless, right?" Seeing the three of them frowning and thinking about it just now, Francis knew that the result must not be ideal.
"That's true, no matter what magic it is, it doesn't have any effect, and the reason for Divia's withering can't be found at all."
