Chapter 131: Lifting the Fog
Chapter 131 lifts the fog
"I'm Barrow Enoch, the Grand Elder of the Ancient Tree Elves, and you can call me Elder Barrow. On behalf of Banan and Fell, and all the Tree Elves, thank you for saving the lives of both of them. ”
Inside the branch of the Ancient Tree of Life, in a treehouse surrounded by countless leafy branches, Merge looked at Grand Elder Barrow not far in front of him.
The head of the clan of the Ancient Tree Elf did not look like an Ancient Tree Elf at all, but more like an old tree trunk.
When Merge first entered the treehouse, he saw the dead tree that seemed to have no breath of life, and countless roots and tendrils were growing on his feet, and he thought that the dead tree was an ornament in the treehouse, or a part of the treehouse.
If it weren't for the fact that Grand Elder Barrow opened his eyes and spoke to Merge, and at the same time made three cracks in Barrow's folded and shriveled bark face, revealing two pale green eyes and a mouth, Merge would not have known that he was Banan's grandfather, the Great Elder Barrow.
"Listen to Banan, you want to see me, an old man?"
Without waiting for the fearful Merge to shirk Grand Elder Barrow's gratitude, he smiled and spoke again.
Merge bowed and nodded, "I do have a lot of questions for you, because I understand that your knowledge can solve the doubts in my heart. ”
"I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Merger Nan, and I must have told you about it. ”
Grand Elder Barrow smiled intriguingly, he just whispered Merge's name, and then motioned for Merge to directly say the doubts in his heart, "Tell me about it." ”
As the words fell, Grand Elder Barrow waved his arm slowly, and then dozens of branches suddenly appeared on the floor of the treehouse behind Merge.
Dozens of branches growing from the floor grow rapidly. and all twisted and twisted together, turning into a wooden chair in the blink of an eye.
Merge heard a sound coming from behind him, and when he looked back, the wooden chair was already in his sight. Merge glanced at Grand Elder Barrow, who was looking at him with a smile, nodded, and sat down on the wooden chair.
"Many of my questions come from my background and the mutations that have occurred in my body......"
After a half-muffled groan. Merge raised his head and stared at Grand Elder Barrow's indifferent gaze, "I want to know, what is a dragon worshipper? Why did the dragon worshippers die? Why did the Abyss Trolls and Welvians say I was a dragon mage? What about a dragon mage?"
Grand Elder Barrow's smile was still the same, "Don't rush, take your time......"
"O dragon worshipper...... "Grand Elder Barrow's voice was old and deep, and he turned his head slowly, looking at the sunlight shining through the small skylight on the wooden roof, his eyes wandering.
I just don't know how sunlight branches out of the tree of life. Shine into the ancient tree of life.
After half a ring, just when Merge, who was anxious in his heart, couldn't help but want to ask out loud, the Great Elder Barrow, who seemed to be in a fixed position, finally spoke slowly: "It has been nearly a thousand years since the death of the dragon worshippers......
"Actually, the dragon worshippers are a group of ridiculous and stubborn people who believe in the power of the stars and respect the dragons, just as the human race believes in the god of light. The Holy See of Light, which honors the elves, is a group of believers in the teachings and beliefs of the human race. ”
An inexplicable smile appeared on Grand Elder Barrow's old face. "It's just that one is respect and faith from the heart, and the other is under the guise of admiration...... So, two sects of different faiths, one has been extinct for nearly a thousand years, and the other is thriving among the human race. ”
"Why did the dragon worshippers die?"
"Beliefs are different. Of course, there will be disagreements and frictions between the two sects, but this is not the real reason for the demise of the dragon worshippers. ”
Grand Elder Barrow paused for a moment, "You should know that the Holy See of Light believes in the God of Light. Promote the worship of nature spirits to the outside world. ”
Merge nodded, "It's true, the Holy See of Light has always put on an appearance of respecting elves in front of the people. ”
"More than two thousand years ago, because the Elven Court angered the Dragon Clan, causing the Dragon Clan to launch a devastating war against the Elven Court, that battle caused countless casualties among the Elf Clan. Grand Elder Barrow sighed, "That battle completely changed the pattern of the continent. ”
"Taking advantage of the earth-shattering war between the two races, the Abyss Clan successfully attacked the Elven Royal Court, forcing the Elven Royal Court to fall into the middle of the two races, and finally the Elven Royal Court ended up in ruin. Since that war, the elves have been scattered, withdrawn from the stage of history, and have since disappeared from the sight of the major races. ”
"After that battle, the seriously injured and dying Elven King also disappeared, and no one knew where the Elven King had gone, including us, the subjects of the Elven Court. ”
There was no loneliness and melancholy in the eyes of Grand Elder Barrow, but more helplessness about history.
"The reason why I would say that the war between the dragon clan and the elven royal court has changed the pattern of the continent is because the continent was originally a three-legged situation, and the three major races that checked and balanced each other were the dragon clan, the elven clan and the abyss clan. ”
"After the Elven Royal Court was shattered, many forces and small races on the continent that were dependent on the Elven Royal Court began a major reshuffle, resulting in a turbulent continental pattern. It was also at this time that the Holy See of Light launched a war against the dragon worshippers on the grounds of 'avenging the elves'. ”
Merge's eyebrows furrowed, "The Dragon Clan has defeated the Elven Royal Court, and the Bright Sect still dares to wage war against the Dragon Clan worshippers who believe in the Dragon Clan?"
Grand Elder Barrow shook his head and smiled, explaining, "Do you think that with the arrogant character of the Dragon Clan, you will recognize the existence of the Dragon Clan's worshippers?"
"The dragon worshippers, after all, are a group of Terran wanderers who escaped from the Eastern Continent, and they are heretics in the eyes of the Western Continent Terrans, and they preach to the outside world that they believe in the power of the stars, and they respect the Dragon Clan, which is completely different from the teachings of the Holy See of Light, so how can the Holy See of Light, which has already occupied the faith of the Western Continent at that time, let them go?"
Without waiting for Merge to ask, Grand Elder Barrow continued to explain: "At that time, the Holy Father of the Holy See of Light was able to eliminate the Dragon Clan's worshippers in one fell swoop by seizing the arrogance of the Dragon Clan and seizing the opportunity of the Dragon Clan's victory over the Elven Royal Court. ”
"Why is that?"
"After the dragon clan defeated the elven royal court, it is difficult to see any dragons operating in the continent, and all the dragons have returned to the dragon valley in the north of the snowfield by the order of the dragon emperor, and will not be born again. That's why I said that the Holy Father of the Holy See of Light seized the psychology of the dragon clan and the opportunity after the war......"
Grand Elder Barrow shook his head and laughed, not knowing whether he was laughing at the unique vision of the Holy Father of the Holy See of Light, or the arrogance of the Dragon Clan.
Merge's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, "After the dragon clan defeated the elven royal court, why did the dragon choose to retreat into the dragon valley instead of expanding the territory and increasing the dragon clan's voice on the continent?"
The Great Elder smiled and shook his head, "Because, that epic war, after all, was a battle of wills......
............
At the lower end of the Ancient Tree of Life, in a dimly lit treehouse, a solid shroud of light shrouded the old figure in the treehouse.
Because of the dim light and the old man's back to the door and window, it was difficult to see the face of the old tree elf. The only thing that could be seen at a glance was the branches and leaves on the old man's body, which turned out to be a strange sky blue, not green.
At this time, the old man of the ancient tree spirit was talking to himself in front of a crystal clear black spar, and his voice was extremely hoarse.
"Lord, his Son has indeed come to my people, as you have said. ”
"Back to the Lord, he was talking to Barrow's old immortal. ”
No one answered, the old man of the blue-leaved ancient tree elf spoke to himself, and there was no movement in the treehouse except for the black spar flickering from time to time with a hazy black light.
"Yes, Lord. The old man bent down deeply, not straightening up for a long time, "I will definitely send his son to the Holy Land." ”
Just when the black spar was about to dim, the old man spoke again, but this time there was a little doubt in his voice in addition to fear, "Lord, in this way, even if I am exposed in the clan, won't this affect your plan?"
Suddenly, the old man in the silent treehouse bent deeper, and his body gradually trembled. I only heard the old man's voice say excitedly and excitedly: "Yes, Lord, I look forward to reigning with you!"
After half a ring, the black hedron that had completely dimmed no longer flickered black, but the groveling old man never dared to straighten his waist.
It wasn't until the old man was sure that the "Lord" at the end of the black spar had been completely cut off that the old man straightened up, a little excited, and a little crazy laughing.
It's just that the old man seems to be afraid of something, so his hoarse laughter is very small, and the thick light shield that envelops him around him isolates the sound and breath, and the old man's laughter cannot be heard outside the tree house at all.
But even so, the old man carefully suppressed the excitement in his heart, lest he ruin the "plan" of the "Lord" because of his laughter.
