Sunrise City is a sacred place for Elendor, because two hundred years ago, three great elders including Druid Mountain Eagle used the forbidden spell "Oasis of Life" at the cost of their own lives when resisting the attack of the undead legion.

After that battle, the three Great Elders of Mountain Eagle and the other three archelders used up all their lives and passed away, but due to the power of the druids and the influence of the magic of the "Oasis of Life", their bodies turned into a giant oak tree, which stood forever in Sunrise City. Later, people called this giant tree the "Tree of Life".

Every adult druid will leave his tribe and walk across the continent on foot to do a physical and mental penance, increasing his strength and searching for traces of the evil undead legions. When they are about to end their penance, they will go to the holy place of the druids, the city of the sunrise, and stand under the big tree that the three mountain eagles grew up to age, and experience the vitality brought to them by this tree of life, in order to understand the source of the druid's power.

The "Tree of Life" is located in the western part of Sunrise City, when the three elders stood on the old Sunrise City wall to cast spells, and after they turned into a giant tree, the people of Sunrise City transformed the city they lived in, centering on the location of the Tree of Life, and expanded Sunrise City. Now the "Tree of Life" is located in the central square of Sunrise City, and there are no buildings in the area covered by the Tree of Life.

After three days of meditation and all the preparations, Alendor also took Xiaobai to the "Tree of Life" without hesitation to carry out the final step of the druid's practice.

In the distance, Ryan saw the "Tree of Life", its lush branches and leaves like a giant umbrella, stretching towards the sky, enveloping the open space for several kilometers around him. From entering the shadow shrouded in the tree to reaching the root of the tree, Alendor and they spent a full fifteen minutes, although the cold here has not subsided, but this "tree of life" is full of life, Ryan and they walked for these fifteen minutes, only to see the earth clean, not a single dead leaf, not a single fallen branch, only occasionally see the thick roots of the tree break through the constraints of the earth, revealed in front of people.

Alendor walked straight to the trunk of the "Tree of Life", gently placed his hand on the trunk, closed his eyes and began to meditate. Ryan and the others, who accompanied Alendo, stood far away, and they did not talk, lest it affect Elendor's practice.

During this time of Ellendo's meditation, Ryan had the opportunity to take a closer look at the towering tree. The roots of the trees are deeply rooted in the ground and spread for several kilometers around, so it's no wonder that no one lives under them, because it is simply impossible to build a house under the shade of a large tree. The trunk of the large tree was not a single full-length trunk, but was formed by three thick trunks intertwined, and Ryan estimated that it would take at least a few dozen people to be able to surround it.

A breeze blew, it was a sea breeze from the east, so it carried a hint of fishy smell. The branches and leaves of the "Tree of Life" swayed slightly with the sea breeze, making a slight sound, as if someone was whispering in their ears. What makes Ryan strange is that there is no magic breath on this "Tree of Life" formed because of the magic forbidden spell, and Ryan can only feel the vitality of the "Tree of Life", this kind of life breath that grows in spring, brings Ryan into a wonderful realm.

Ryan closed his eyes and carefully experienced this wonderful feeling, like a small seed, after the harsh winter, soothed by the spring breeze, moistened by the spring rain, slowly stretched his waist, pushed away the rocks pressed on him with all his strength, and sent out his sincere smile at the blue sky.

The bigger the seed grows, the thicker its stem becomes, and now it no longer needs to bow its head to external forces, and can stand proudly in the storm. Watered by the rain, its body is covered with green branches and leaves, and a small flower blooms. Soon, more flowers appeared, and it was dressed up in a colorful and indescribably beautiful look.

After a long period of time, the flowers turned into fruits, hanging from the branches, and it swore not to bow its head in the face of a strong external force, and bent down with a smile. This is a harvest season, a time of anticipation and joy. However, the good times did not last long, and the cold north roared, blowing away all signs of life, and it was like an old man in his last years, leaning on his once thick stem.

The north wind blew more and more tightly, and it slowly withered under the snow.

Just when Ryan thought it was all over, suddenly a breeze hit him, and the breath of life was born leisurely, and just in the same place where it withered, another sprout broke through the ground......

Ryan opened his eyes, he let out a long sigh, the feeling after closing his eyes just now was only a few minutes, but for Ryan, it was like spending a lifetime.

"What a fragile life, such a strong life!" Ryan muttered to himself as he reflected on how he had just felt.

"That's right, the most powerful power in the world is life!" Allendo's voice rang out. Ryan looked up and saw that Elendor had left the root of the tree and was in front of him, his face full of confidence, which was a sudden realization after understanding something.

"As a druid, we strive for balance in everything. When the wind wolves are packed, we will destroy the wolves because they will eat a lot of edelweiss. But when the wolves are reduced, we stop killing the wolves. Because without wolves, the Edelweiss will lose its natural predators. Everything we do comes from the maintenance of life, our strength, and the understanding of life. ”

"Incarnating as a wind wolf is an understanding of the life of a wind wolf. The incarnation of a black bear is the comprehension of the life of a black bear. The Elder Mountain Eagle and the oak tree they incarnated into transcended this realm and directly comprehended the true meaning of life, which is a realm that can only be understood, but cannot be described in words. That's why every one of our druids comes here. If you don't come in person, you won't be able to explain that feeling. ”

With that, Alendor suddenly beckoned to the huge oak tree, and an oak branch the thickness of an adult man's arm bent down from the high canopy and rested at Elendor's hand. Alendor grabbed the branch, and without any force, the branch of the oak tree left the crown and came into Elendor's hand, and the branch that was originally connected to the crown of the tree was so natural that it did not look like it had just been taken from the oak tree, but as if it had grown like this.

"What is this?" asked Ryan.

"Blessing from the Great Elder Druid. Alendor said lightly. Although he tried to keep his face calm, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was the joy of completing his practice.

"Ahh And what are your plans for the future?" Lane was nervous when he said this, he didn't want Alendor to return to the Druid tribe.

"Well, I'll give it to you. Instead of answering Ryan's question, Alendor handed the oak branch directly in front of Ryan.

"This? this is ......" Ryan didn't understand what Alendor meant, this oak branch should be proof of Alendor's completion of cultivation, why give it to himself?

"Haha," Allendo smiled heartily, placing the oak branch in Ryan's hand and explaining, "It's just a ritual, and the oak branch itself isn't anything particularly important." But it contains the breath of life of the three Druid Elders, which is a good thing for you. ”

Ryan still didn't understand what Allendo meant, and he looked at Allendo with puzzled eyes, hoping to get a more detailed answer.

Alendor lowered his voice and whispered in Ryan's ear: "Alas, isn't your magical power transformed through mental power shock? Well, for the sake of a good friend, I won't take any money from you. ”

In the end, Alendor actually joked with Ryan, which made Ryan laugh "poof", which was almost impossible before Allendo, but he didn't expect Allendo to complete his practice, and even his personality became a lot more cheerful.

Ryan thought about it for a while, and felt that he was relieved to get an accurate answer, so he continued to ask, "What are your plans in the future, you won't just go home, right?"

Alendor shook his head and said, "No." Actually, my practice is not really over yet, just now when I was communicating with the 'Tree of Life', I realized a lot of new things, and that is the goal of my next practice. ”

Ryan lowered his voice and asked, "Can you reveal it?"

Alendor smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth, "Animal Spirit!"

"Animal spirits?

"To put it simply, transforming into a wind wolf is to comprehend the life of the wind wolf, and the animal spirit is a direct fusion between the souls, and I am directly fused with the spirit of the wind wolf, and the degree of the two is naturally not comparable. It's a hard thing to explain, and I only have a vague idea of it now, which you can understand as you magicians communicating with the fire elemental and then unleashing powerful fire magic. ”

Alendor looked to the north and said to Ryan, "The pursuit of power is never-ending. But as long as we always respect life, we will never go astray. This is the revelation that I, Druid Elendo, have received under the 'Tree of Life'"
