Next, it's time to have a good talk with the Elven Great Elder. But before Richard could walk up to the Great Elder, the Tree of Life suddenly said, "Wait a minute, you've brought a wonderful weapon that makes me feel very familiar. But its power is impaired so much that it is in the deepest state of sleep. I can infuse it with some energy, if you want. ”

"Wonderful weapons?" Richard was stunned, then remembered something, and turned his head to look at the nameless elf long knife.

The knife was given to him by Gordon, but even Gordon couldn't tell where it came from, and all this time, it didn't show anything special. It's just that the material is good, and it won't be damaged by anything it touches, so Richard has been carrying it all the time. In fact, the knife was a bit too long, and Richard was not very easy to use, so he always carried it with him, mainly because it was the only gift Gordon gave him.

But Richard himself would not admit it.

Richard picked up the elven knife, and then a branch of the Tree of Life rolled up the knife and lowered it into the trunk. After a slight flash of green light, the nameless long knife had disappeared.

"It takes a day to refuel it. The Tree of Life said.

"No hurry, I just need to take care of something else. ”

Moments later, in a treehouse on the Tree of Life, Richard met the Elven Elven Elder. The old elder still looked languishing, he was badly wounded, and he had not yet recovered. But even if he was in his prime, surrounded by Richard, Nereus, and Agamemnon, there was little room for resistance and struggle.

"You've seen the decision of the Tree of Life, do you still need to hesitate?" Richard got straight to the point.

The Elven Grand Elder looked distressed and seemed to be struggling repeatedly, but Nereus persuaded again, and assured the rest of the elves that they would be safe, and promised that as long as the fleeing elves were willing to return, they would be no one. In this process of persuasion, Nereus finally revealed a bit of the characteristics of a prince, and his tone was gentle but firm, very persuasive and provocative, and people couldn't help but follow his train of thought. The Elven Grand Elder finally agreed to surrender.

At this moment, under the Tree of Life, hundreds of elves who had survived the catastrophe were huddled together, obviously dazed and helpless. The biggest blow came from the tree of life on which they lived. They all watched the compromise between the Tree of Life and Richard, and the final agreement between the two sides made the elves realize that what they had sworn to protect had lost its meaning. Maybe the past makes sense, but what about the present and the future?

Is it still necessary to fight the invaders, and to avenge the dead people?

When the Tree of Life has reached agreement with the invaders, wouldn't attacking the invaders be the same as attacking the Tree of Life, their former spiritual pillar?

When the Elven Grand Elder came out of the treehouse with a tired face, walked among the people, and announced his decision to surrender to the invaders, the response was not anger and scolding, but the confused and helpless eyes of the people. Even the Druid Elder, who had belonged to the radical faction, was silent.

Suddenly there was a shrill hissing from within the elven cage beneath the tree of life, the wail of a vampire vine. Richard and the dragon mage Lina continued to burn the vampire vines with flames. In particular, Lina's flames have the characteristics of dragon flames, which are thick and thick, and their power is not affected by the green forest plane.

The vampire vines inside the cage were quickly burned, and the bodies of the captives were also burned. Together with the soldiers, Richard picked up all the bones that had not been completely burned from the ashes, dug a pit in the clearing next to the Tree of Life, and buried them.

The Elven Grand Elder looked at Richard who was busy, and vaguely felt that maybe the fate in the future would not be too tragic. From the moment they decided to surrender, their fate depended on Richard's character and mood.

Over the next few days, Richard first returned to the city, and had the unicorns escort a group of warriors through a thirty-kilometer perilous area to garrison the Tree of Life.

Elves with little combat power were allowed to stay on the Living Tree, while the elven warriors with combat power were split in two, half following the Elven Grand Elder to guard the Life Tree, and the other half being brought back by Richard. If it weren't for the young elves who needed the breath of the Tree of Life for their growth, Richard would have brought them back to the city together. These are the most effective means of keeping the Green Forest elves at bay and reminding them to keep their oaths.

Although the Green Forest Elf is also called an elf, it is actually very different from the elf of Norland. They are not overly refined and artistically minded like the Norland elves, and possess a highly brilliant civilization that is not inferior to humans.

The Green Forest Elves are still in their relatively primitive stage, they are more belligerent and quite savage and bloodthirsty.

Richard didn't trust the Green Forest Elves, and if there were no mandatory restraints, who knew when these guys would betray. The Tree of Life couldn't be fully trusted, so Quicksand made the Tree of Life swear to the Book of Time. Once the magic oath is broken, then the tree of life will be punished accordingly, but with its huge body, magnificent will, and the environmental advantages of the green forest, even Quicksand himself does not dare to assert that the magic oath must be absolutely binding.

The city will continue to be attacked sporadically, from the other two Elven tribes. If there are two trees of life, there must be two elven tribes. I just don't know if the two living trees are far or near, but they are definitely far away from the area of influence of the dimensional portal.

The troops stationed at the Tree of Life were led by elite humanoid knights, with a total of 100 warriors dispatched. The main duty of these warriors is to keep an eye on the elves, not to fight other enemies. A few days later, when Nereth returned to the city with the newly condensed Fountain of Sustainability, the situation in this direction was more or less stable. Richard sent several logging teams, taking turns to cut down the passage in the direction of the Tree of Life. In this direction, there is no longer a walking forest.

The druids of the other two tribes still drove the walking forest to harass, but Richard had more than enough experience to deal with them. After Richard set up two ambushes in a row and successfully killed three druids, the two elven tribes no longer dared to send out druids at will.

In the blink of an eye, two months had passed on the Green Forest Plane. Richard stabilized the situation here, and spent a month redrawing a set of secret realm guides and a set of savage strikes. Richard then consulted with Nereus and Agamemnon and decided to return to Norland once in order to cash in on the interim gains.

This return also brought back a large number of supplies, mainly all kinds of rare trees. Among them, the torso of the ancient war tree Urano is the most precious. Although Agamemnon had no choice but to destroy its core, the remaining core still contained powerful life energy, which was worth a lot of money, and this piece alone was worth 300,000. Together, the other types of timber and the trunk of the tree man can be sold for about 300,000.

The value of the green forest plane is reflected in this, just to establish a foothold, just cutting wood can earn about 1.2 million gold coins a year. After deducting the consumption of various materials, the net income alone can reach 800,000. And now, Richard and others have discovered an even more valuable resource, the Tree of Life.

The value of the fruit of life is immeasurable for those old people whose lives are coming to an end. Among the time-based charismas, the probability of the occurrence of life-prolonging life torrents is significantly lower than that of other divine graces. And if you want to get the life torrent in a definite way through the guò priest, you have to pay at least three to four times as much divine grace as normal. In addition, it is important to consider that in many cases, even if there are enough gold coins and sacrifices, it may not be able to impress the priests.

From this point of view, the fruit of the tree of life, which can be determined to extend its life for ten years, should be reasonably valued as a sacrifice that can obtain thirty to forty years of charismatic life. However, since you can't get the Life Torrent, other charisma options can also benefit, so the Tree of Life fruit can be exchanged for huàn sacrifices, which should roughly be sacrifices that can be exchanged for 15 years of charisma life, such as the head of a great devil. According to the agreement between Richard and Nereus and Agamemnon, two-thirds of the fruit should go to Richard.

The Tree of Life fruit was eventually exchanged by Nereus for a sacrifice from his private treasury, and the four princes were ready to give the fruit to His Majesty the Emperor in exchange for points. In the royal family's point system, the points exchanged for the Tree of Life fruit are much higher than the corresponding value of the sacrifice. No one knows why it's set up this way.

Richard hurried to make a sacrifice, but the bloodline ability, level improvement, and even all kinds of artifact equipment he was looking forward to did not appear, but directly stuffed him with a life torrent, allowing him to gain ten years of extra life. Seeing the results of the sacrifice, both Richard and Nereus cried and laughed. This sacrifice is equivalent to Richard swallowing the fruit of the Tree of Life directly.

In addition, all the 400,000 gold coins he received from the first income of the Green Forest Plane were exchanged for enchanted equipment and prepared to be shipped to Faro. After another two days of delay in Norland, calculating the time, the Faro plane has been equivalent to three months. So Richard took quicksand with him and took the time to go to the Faro plane again.

As soon as he walked out of Faro's dimensional portal, Richard received a message from the brood: "Master, I now have a new ability that I need your attention to. ”

A large pile of information poured in, and after filtering out the lengthy and useless large number of them, Richard suddenly lost his voice and said, "New seeds?"

"It's not a whole new entity, it's sharing a soul with me," the brood explains. You can think of it as one of my doppelgangers, but you can cast it into other planes in seed form. It's just a little bit of a price......"

In the information, the brood is close to completing the absorption and transformation of the blood of the Holy Spirit, and has thus gained a new ability: to conceive and produce a new seed of war and destruction!

ps: Although I am very uninterested in this festival, I still wish someone a happy holiday, those who have not celebrated, those who have thought about it and those who don't want to live, and brothers and sisters who can't live at all.

Finally, special thanks to Sasha, Padge, and Splash Girl, and the rest of the list is listed in the second update.
