Chapter Seventy-Six: It's Him Again!
The Fountain of Life, among the Treants, also has an ancient name that has been passed down from generation to generation: the Fountain of Youth.
This spring is said to be the foundation of the Tree People from generation to generation. The ancient legend of the Treants is that a long, long time ago, when there were no Treants in this world, there was a big tree growing next to that spring, and the roots of that big tree drew the water from this magical spring, and then ...... The big tree came to life and became the world's first treeman, the ancestor of all the treemen.
Then, the ancestor of the only tree people in this world felt lonely and had no companions, so the gods of heaven took pity on it and gave it a "natural horn", and when this horn was sounded, it could awaken other trees.
After that, there was the Treant race.
And the biggest role of this green chūn fountain of immortality is to allow the tree people to continue their lives. You must know that the awakening of tree people has a long process, every tree person is awakened by the horn, at the beginning, they are just "companions" without self-awareness, just a pile of walking and moving wood, to form self-consciousness, it takes a long time...... Not a few years or a dozen years, but at least a hundred years, or even more.
The problem is that the lifespan of most trees is generally only about 100 years, while it takes decades for small seedlings to grow into big trees, and then awaken to become "companions", at this time, their lifespan is only a few decades.
It will take at least a hundred years to become a real "tree man" from the "companion" class, and most of the trees do not have that kind of lifespan, and they will not die of old age before they form a sense of self?
Therefore, this green chūn fountain of immortality is particularly important to the tree people, all the tree people, as long as they come to the spring and use their roots to draw a little spring water, they can live forever and live for one or two thousand years.
Hearing this, Du Wei couldn't help but question again: "If you can live a long time as you just draw a little spring water...... So how could there be only three or five of the true treants left before the Evil Eye Tyrant appeared? Theoretically, all the 'companion' classes can draw spring water and have a long life to wait for the slow formation of self-consciousness. ”
Wood let out a long sigh, the last of the world's treants in a low and helpless tone: "Because...... Spring...... Very...... Rare ......"
After some explanation, Du Wei understood.
This spring water is really ...... Small, or rather, compared to the huge body of the tree man, such a fountain is really far from enough. The amount of water gushing out is far from enough for the huge body of the tree man to enjoy, and it is pitiful.
According to Wood's analogy, the spring was about the size of a tree pole, and no one knew where it came from, and even the spring sometimes dried up, and when it was dry, it would be several years before it slowly flowed out again.
Sometimes it exists, sometimes it dries, such an unstable state...... In addition, it is often necessary for a tree person to absorb a large amount of spring water...... In this state, the generational inheritance of the tree people has been greatly affected, and the reproduction and population of this race have always remained in a very small number.
In Wood's depiction, Dewey unexpectedly discovers a ...... Whether it's too kind or simple-minded, in short, before the Evil Eye Tyrant appeared, when the canyon was still under the control of the Treants, the Treants never thought of owning the spring alone.
They naively believe that this is a gift from the heavens and the gods, so they are willing to share this spring water with the other magical beasts in this forest, which makes the already scarce spring water even rarer!
However, it is a pity that the longevity effect of this green chūn fountain of immortality seems to only have an effect on the tree people, and the other demonic beasts, drinking the spring water here, will not have any obvious effect on the lifespan, but ...... But there's something else magical.
First of all: no matter how many injuries you have, even if you are dying, as long as you drink a sip of such spring water, you can immediately come back to life! This is enough to make Du Wei's eyes glow.
Second, this kind of spring water seems to have a "stimulating magic" effect on Warcraft, and some Warcraft that have drunk spring water will undergo some changes, in short, it is "advanced". The concept was somewhat vague, and Dewey asked Old Wood a few more questions, and Old Wood's slow words were not described, but it mentioned an example that Dewey was interested in.
When Old Wood was young (God knows how old he was by "young"), the kind and docile Treant was at peace with the monsters around him, and he once had a friend, an adult ice wolf. After the demon wolf drank a little spring water, an advanced event immediately occurred, and an ice and snow demon wolf of the middle to lower level actually advanced to a high-level "Storm Wolf King".
According to some rough hierarchical divisions made by the Wizards' Guild on the types of known Warcraft, the Storm Wolf King is the final advanced state of this type of Warcraft of the Ice and Snow Demon Wolf, and the Storm Wolf King is a real high-level Warcraft, which not only has all the abilities of ordinary Ice and Snow Demon Wolves, but is also stronger, smarter, and more intelligent...... At the same time, it also has a special ability: summon!
The summoning spell of a Storm Wolf King can summon all the ...... in the area according to the size of the area covered by the strength of the magic Note that it is all, regardless of any kind, and the level of the lower level of the wolf king, become the wolf king's subordinates, and obey its command! In other words, this is an "ultimate summoning technique". When an adult wolf king is summoned, all within the scope covered by the magic power, whether it is a jackal, tiger or leopard, any magical beast, as long as it is lower than the wolf king, will become its subordinates.
"It's like a Warcraft legion......" Du Wei sighed.
However, this example also illustrates the ...... The magic of this green chūn immortal spring water made the light in Du Wei's eyes brighter.
What surprised Du Wei even more was that the spring water even had a magical effect on humans, and Old Wood said something surprising and explained why this tree man spoke the language of man, and it was the lingua franca of the Roland Empire.
Wood speaks human words...... This is not innate, Du Wei did not ask the tree people if they have their own language, but at least a tree cannot be born to speak human language, even if it is a human being, learning a language must be taught from infancy.
Old Wood's human language was taught by a man.
A long time ago...... Old Wood's age, Du Wei couldn't guess at all, anyway, it said a long time ago, it should have been at least hundreds of years ago, there was once a strong human powerhouse here, stayed in this forest for a long time, and made friends with the kind and docile tree people. Old Wood's human language was taught by the man. And in return for his friendship, Old Wood took the human to the Fountain of Youth, where he could taste the miraculous water.
"And then?" said Du Wei's heart, "that human being, is it your friend, who is he, do you know his name?"
Du Wei believes that the human beings who can come to the depths of the frozen forest are definitely the only strong people in ten thousand, and they will never be able to get here without enough strength.
“...... Let me...... Think about it......" Old Wood thought for a long time, and then replied with some regret, "Time ...... It's too long...... I...... Already...... Forgot about ...... His...... Name...... But...... I...... Know...... He...... Be...... A...... The Emperor of Mankind, eh...... That's right...... It's ...... 'Emperor', this ...... Words...... I...... Remember ......"
Not to mention Old Wood's joy that he had not forgotten this title, the shock in Du Wei's heart cannot be described in words.
The Emperor of the Race, a powerhouse who could walk into the depths of the frozen forest a long, long time ago!
In the history of the current Roland Continent for thousands of years, the only one who can be counted as an extremely strong person is still the emperor, and he is counted and counted...... There's just one person: Aragone!
Du Wei couldn't help but sigh. Why...... It seems that every bizarre and legendary thing he encounters has something to do with that peerless powerhouse...... When Du Wei thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.
The Treants are indeed kind and docile, Old Wood is simple-minded, and he is also docile, and he almost didn't need Du Wei's words to say everything Du Wei wanted to know...... Although Du Wei sighed that these tree people were too simple, and that the existence of such a fountain would definitely arouse the admiration of everyone who knew it, at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling about Old Wood's simplicity.
"Dear Wood...... Treant friends," Du Wei owed slightly, and then smiled, "I apologize to my companions for hurting you, and of course, we are willing to make compensation. Well, my companions and I have some good skills, I am deeply sympathetic to the situation of the Treants, and I am willing to help you deal with the evil Evil Eye Tyrant in that canyon, and use this way to make amends for the conflict just now, what do you think of my proposal?"
Now it was Old Wood's turn to be uneasy, and the tree man said something that worried Du Wei......
