"Is this the freedom you want?"

An old voice sounded in Levi's heart.

He came to his senses.

I found that the door in front of me had been opened, and there was an old man with a white beard standing at the door.

They don't seem to be from the elves.

He doesn't have pointed ears.

The white-bearded old man looked at Levi, his emerald green eyes seemed to contain the entire universe.

He seemed to see through the doubts in Levi's heart.

The white-bearded old man smiled and said, "Please come in." ”

"As you can see, I'm not an elf."

After the white-bearded old man finished speaking, he turned to Lea behind Levi and said.

"Little Leia, long time no see."

"Grandpa Sage, I'm sorry to disturb you." Leia said with some embarrassment.

Bringing Levi to meet the sage was not a whim of her.

It was the task given to her by the Lord of the Green Tree, Delvin.

Leia has been tested by the sages and is the best person for this task.

The old sage man smiled, not care.

Leia was also well aware that the sage probably already knew when Delwin handed her anything.

In her eyes, the sage knows everything.

Levi walked into the room.

The sage's room is very minimalist.

There was only a table by the window, and there was nothing on the table.

In addition, there is only one bed and three stools in the room.

It's not like a normal place at all.

The sage poured Levi and Leia a cup of wisdom tea brewed in the water of Moon Lake.

In fact, there is no special effect, just ordinary lake water to make tea.

It's just that after it came out of the sage, it was called wisdom tea by later generations.

It seems that after drinking, you will increase your wisdom.

This can also be spread by those who have seen the sage and bragged about it everywhere.

"You may be seated."

The sage stretched out his hand and motioned for Levi to sit down.

Levi made a hand salute, "Under Levi, I have seen a sage." ”

After saluting, he sat down.

Lea was used to it, and before Levi could sit down, she sat down first.

Levi looked at the sage, and the sage looked at Levi.

The sage smiled slightly, "Let's continue with the conversation we just had." ”

"You're still curious about who I am?"

"I'm not human, I'm not an elf, to be exact."

"Years ago, I was a tree, an oak of wisdom."

Levi looked surprised.

The Oak of Wisdom is famous, and of course he knows it.

Legend has it that the Oak of Wisdom is the embodiment of the god of knowledge and knows everything.

The Oak of Wisdom became a human, and it was the first time Levi had seen him.

The sage smiled and said, "It's a very coincidence that I can become a human, so don't be too curious. ”

"It is a rare nature to seek knowledge, but we must also know how to restrain our nature."

"Just as the freedom you desire."

Levi looked at the sage and pondered, "Freedom?" ”

Through the sage's test, he discovers the ultimate goal he is pursuing.

He didn't know if he really wanted to be free.

However, he did not want to be tied down.

Levi shook his head, came back to his senses, looked at the sage, and said, "I will find the truth about this matter myself." ”

He felt that no one else could help him.

People's hearts are so changeable that even he can't grasp his own mind.

Levi is more like discussing some objective events with the sage.

For example, the meaning of the token of the Holy Dragon Inheritance.

The underlying deep relationship between the Holy Dragons and the Orcs and Elves is deep.

These are all things that Levi wants to know.

Further afield, he also wants to know how to solve the demonic plague and help the demonized creatures return to normal.

Levi hadn't forgotten that Gutheve was facing the threat of demonization.

Levi looked at the sage and asked, "Sage, do you know the purpose of my visit this time?" ”

The sage smiled and said, "You have a lot of questions in your mind, and if you mean what you want to know most at the moment, then I probably know better. ”

"Oh, then I'll ask the Sage for advice."

A look of surprise flashed in Levi's eyes, and he said respectfully.

The sage said, "According to the rules, if you pass one of my tests, you are qualified to ask me a question. ”

"Have you decided to ask me this question?"

Without thinking, Levi nodded and replied, "That's right, please tell me the truth behind it." ”

Leia sat on the sidelines and watched the two of them play dumb riddles, looking confused.

I don't know what they're talking about.

However, she had become accustomed to the way the sage spoke.

Leia glanced at Levi in some surprise, but he didn't expect him to be so difficult to understand.

The sage smiled slightly and said, "This involves the mystery of a god's past. ”

"It's not convenient for me to tell you the specific contents."

"There are gods in the head."

When Li Wei heard this, he immediately understood, and he nodded.

"Sage, you say."

The sage flashed a hint of memory, and then said, "You need to know one thing, in the past, not only humans had gods. ”

Levi was stunned for a moment, thinking in his heart: Only humans have gods?

What does this phrase mean?

Don't the elves and orcs have gods?

He looked at the sage, and the two looked at each other.

Levi seemed to understand the meaning of the sentence.

In the past, the elves and orcs had their own gods.

Now, the gods are gone.

But what does this have to do with dragons?

The sage said approvingly, "That's right, as you think, the dragon clan used to have a god too. ”

Levi's eyes froze slightly.

Vanishing gods?

Could this be the secret hidden behind the Holy Dragon Clan, the Orc Clan, and the Elven Clan?

Levi thought for a moment, then looked up at the top of his head.

He looked at the sage and pointed to the top of his head, "You mean, they did it?" ”

Now, Levi knew who they were in the mouth of the Beastmaster.

The sage shook his head and said, "This is beyond the scope of our conversation. ”

"Anyway, you just need to know that you know about it, what is the truth of the matter, you can find it yourself."

"Okay, the news you're waiting for has arrived, and you can leave."

The sage gave the order to evict the guest.

Levi walked out of the treehouse thoughtfully.

He glanced up at the sky above him, the sky was blue and the white clouds were leisurely.

Leia couldn't help but ask curiously, "What were you talking to the sage just now?" Who are they? ”

Levi looked at her and said, "It's not a good thing that you know too much. ”

"Let's go, listen to the sage, the elf king should have agreed to see me."

Levi walked in the direction of the Greentree Territory.

Leia hurriedly followed him.

On the way back, I heard the rustling sound of the trees not far away.

Leia suddenly realized something.

That is, on the way she and Levi came to Moon Lake, they were not attacked by any demonic beasts.

It's incredible.

She hadn't noticed it before.

He was so busy thinking about how to take Levi to meet the sage, and he didn't have time to think about the anomalies on the way.

Now when I go back, everything is easy.

It's natural to notice some details.

She glanced at Levi and thought it might have something to do with him.

Usually, she walks this path, not to mention that she will be attacked by demonic beasts every time, but at least she can see the figure of demonic beasts.

This time, I couldn't even see a single demonic beast.

The reason is also very simple, Levi released a little bit of dragon power to intimidate the surrounding demonic beasts.

After the demonic beasts in the woods felt the dragon's might, they fled from this place one after another.

Naturally, Leia couldn't see the Warcraft.

As Levi walked, one thing came to mind.

He asked without looking back, "By the way, if you want to go to the Elven Imperial Court Fei Lengcui, how do you go?" ”

"Is there a teleportation array in the Greentree Territory that leads to the Emerald of Emerald?"

Leia shook her head and said, "How is that possible?" ”

"If the Green Tree Territory is breached, won't it be possible to reach Fei Leng Cui directly?"

"For the sake of safety, there is no way to have a teleportation array to Fei Leng Jade in the Green Tree Territory."

"If you really want to go to the Emerald of Filen, then you can only hike through the Elven Forest."

Levi was a little speechless, and said scoldingly: "You elven clans have all fallen to this point? ”

Hearing this, Leia frowned, and asked with some temperament, "What do you mean?" ”

"Do you think the elves are worse than you humans?"

Levi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't mean that." ”

"It's just a surprise, after all, the elves are a race that ruled the world in ancient times."

"Even today, there are many anthropologists who are eager to get their hands on the magic technology of the Ancient Elves."

"I just didn't expect the elves in the Elven Forest to discard all the magic technology of the ancient elves."

When Laiya heard this, her expression froze, and she whispered helplessly: "Actually, it's not that the elven clan doesn't want to inherit the magic technology of the ancient elves, it's just that the magic technology of the ancient period has long been lost. ”

"Now the elves are not even as deep as the human mages who have developed in the last thousands of years."

"At present, the elves can only rely on their own magical talents, and barely achieve a little in the field of magic."

Leia was well aware of the current situation of the elves.

In this regard, it is not taboo to tell Levi.

It's not a secret, either.

Anyone who knows anything about the history of the elves knows about it.

The elves of the Forest of Elves are a branch of the original Ancient Elves.

It can even be said that it is old-school.

At the height of the Elder Elves, they were divided into two factions - the Magic Faction and the Nature Faction.

The former is the true ruler of the Elder Elves.

The elves of the natural faction still maintain their original worship of nature and stay in the forest of elves.

The Elder Elves of the Magic Faction also looked down on the Elves of the Natural Faction.

Think they're too old-fashioned.

With the development of the times, the elven empire established by the ancient elves of the magic faction fell.

Only the elves of the natural factions in the Elven Forest remain.

The magic factions have all perished, and the magic technology of the Ancient Elves they have mastered has naturally been lost.

The fall of the Elven Empire has always been a mystery.

For a long, long time, there were no gods in the world.

At that time, there were already many races in the world.

Relying on their natural talent for magic, the elves stood out from the crowd and became the rulers of the world.

Build an elven empire.

The Elven Empire lasted for a long time, and it was the pinnacle of the development of magical technology.

Even the most ordinary citizens of the Elven Empire will be able to use magical creations, a true era of magic for all.

Unlike the current human empire, magical creations are extremely rare, and mages are one in a million.

The Elven Empire has even taken steps to conquer the Astral Plane.

However, such a powerful elven empire, at its peak, suddenly collapsed and disappeared, completely shattered.

It was as if there had never been such a brilliant magical technological civilization in the world.

Later generations can only discover the glorious history of the ancient elves from the occasional excavated magical ruins.

The fall of the Elven Empire has always been an unsolved mystery.

Now, Levi vaguely felt that there might be something to do with the gods behind this.

After the fall of the Elven Empire.

The second to rule the world and establish an empire was the orcs.

The elves who are good at magic have suffered heavy casualties and suffered huge losses.

The orcs, represented by their strong bodies and infinite strength, have stepped onto the world stage.

With racial talent, the orcs quickly became the most powerful race in the entire world.

Build an empire second only to the Elven Empire.

After the fall of the Orc Empire, it was the rise of humanity.

That was already a long time ago.

The fall of the Elven Empire, the decline of the Orc Empire, and the extinction of the Dragons......

Several major events that changed the pattern of the world.

Levi must have the gods behind him now.

This is still an event that happened in this world, and it has not yet involved cross-border wars, scourge of the dead, abyssal invasion, astral arrival, and elemental tides......

Thinking of this, Li Wei couldn't help but feel a little numb in his scalp.

This world has long been played with by the gods.

Who will perish next?

The empire of humanity is already showing signs of decay.

The Demon God returns to the world.

The war of gods and demons that spans 100,000 years is about to be launched.

The Elemental Juggernaut of the Elemental Plane also wants to get a piece of the pie.

The abyss is about to move.

The prelude to the undead scourge has begun.

Levi already had a premonition that an era of unprecedented chaos was coming.

In any era, any of these disasters are devastating natural disasters.

However, now these disasters are likely to erupt in the same era.

Levi was thinking about something.

Why did the gods push for a change of dynasty?

What's in it for them?

Levi shook his head, fantasies were useless, they would only increase his troubles.

Unless you see the gods, you can't understand their thoughts and purposes.

Just do what you're doing.

Levi arrives at the Lord's Pavilion in Greentree Territory.

"Lord of Delvin, is there any news from the Elven King?" Levi asked.

Delvin smiled and said, "I was about to ask someone to find you, and just now, the Elf King agreed to see you. ”

Levi nodded and said, "Yes, then I can go directly to the Elven Imperial Court?" ”

Delvin was slightly stunned and asked, "How do you want to go?" ”

Levi said, "Fly over." ”

Delvin hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, don't be impulsive. ”

"There is an unwritten rule within the Elven Forest that no one is allowed to fly over the Elven Forest."

"If you fly over, you're bound to be attacked by the Guardian Dryant."

"In this way, I will have people take you to the Elven Imperial Court, so that people from other elven clans will not know you and attack you."

Delvin looked at Leia and said, "I'll leave this matter to you." ”

"Huh?" Leia looked confused.
