468. The Ancient Tree of Wisdom

Looking in the direction that Miss Christine had left, there were a few faint clouds floating in the blue sky.

Roy did feel a little homesick.

This time I left home for more than a year, and when I left home, I thought that I was just using the vacation to lead the way for the Silver Moon Elf warriors of the Silver Pegasus Legion, so that they could familiarize themselves with the Pajisto Plateau as soon as possible, but I didn't expect that in the end, it was the plateau they evacuated, but instead left Roy on the plateau.

He first cleaned up the gem mines on the plateau, and later led the half-blood elven warriors to fend off the highland headhunters......

In fact, Roy didn't expect headhunters to be so vulnerable.

This time, he brought the half-blood elven warriors to the Queen Evanie Islands, and encountered the difficult gray dwarf bandits again.

This is the Endless Sea, and the three-masted galleons that the gray dwarf robbers ride are much larger than the medium-sized galleons of the elves, although they are not as fast as medium-sized galleons, but these three-masted galleons are loaded with a lot of sky-shooting crossbows, and they are not afraid of the silver Pegasus knights in the sky.

These three-masted galleons can store a lot of supplies, so these gray dwarf robbers call the ship their home, and this is also the case with the Queen Ivanie Islands.

Every time there is a fog at sea, these gray dwarf bandits hide in the fog and try to fight for some outlying islands......

The half-blood elven warriors he brought with him had been living on the plateau and were not good at naval warfare, so Roy could only arrange the half-blood elven warriors on various small islands in the West Reef Islands.

Half-blood elven warriors can use the forests on the island to engage in jungle warfare against the grey dwarf bandits......

There were probably more than a thousand wounded elven warriors recuperating on the island in the temporary camp on the main island of the West Reef Islands, and Roy could not have taken a leave of absence to return to Castletown at this time.

Roy did a survey inside the camp and found that at least half of the half-blood elven warriors in the camp couldn't swim......

So Roy arranged for the half-blood elf warriors to train physically on the beach these days, and the other thing was to learn to swim and use the Exocet boat.

These half-blood elven warriors are very good learners, and they can swim two laps in the sea almost the first time they enter the water.

However, Roy requires the half-blood elves to float in the sea for days and nights without drowning without any external assistance, which requires the half-blood elves to swim every day to improve their water elemental affinity......

It is not easy to control the Exocet boat, this kind of shuttle boat is very similar to a kayak, the boat can only carry a maximum of three elven warriors, the boat has cicada-like paddles on both sides of the boat, usually at sea can use ordinary oars to paddle forward, but as long as there is wind, you can stretch out the oars and chase the wind.

This nimble little fishing boat is usually used by the elves to catch fish, and it can sail faster in the sea than a medium-sized sailboat.

Roy hoped that the half-blood elven warriors of the Guard would learn to steer the dinghy.

Although all the Exocet ships on the main island were destroyed in the battle, there were shipbuilders among the Silver Moon Elves on the main island, and in just two days, ten brand-new Exocet ships appeared on the dock.

In fact, Roy's skills in piloting the Exocet are also quite good, he learned it from the Duke owner of the Castletown Harbor grocery store.

The area is full of coral reefs, and if you wander in the sea in a dinghy, you can clearly see the fish hiding in the coral reefs.

A week later, the Berkeley Commander's Rear Supply Group arrived in the West Keys, and this time he came to the West Keys, and in addition to the normal supplies, he also brought Roy a large number of flying feather arrows, fishing nets, and traps, etc., which Roy had asked for extra.

Five medium-sized galleons laden with cargo were moored at the docks, and the Berkeley regimental commander commanded his men to carry supplies from the ships.

Seeing Roy rushing to the docks, the head of Berkeley walked over quickly, and said to Roy with a smile:

"I heard you won a battle in the West Key, well done! Roy. ”

Roy smiled and didn't take the topic, but said to the head of Berkeley, "Head Berkeley, you came too soon......"

The two walked from the dock to the makeshift camp.

Just outside the makeshift camp woods lay dozens of wooden cages, filled with grey dwarven robbers with their feet shackled.

Roy pointed to the gray dwarf prisoners of war and said to the head of Berkeley:

"Take these gray dwarf prisoners of war away, there are no extra resources on the island to feed them."

The head of Berkeley nodded and agreed, "Well, I'm here for this purpose. ”

Through these cages, Roy led the Berkeley Commander into the makeshift camp, where a group of half-blood elven warriors practiced swordsmanship in the glade.

Roy led the head of Berkeley to a tree with a wooden table and chairs, and a chart on the table clearly showing the distribution of the West Reef Islands and the deployment of troops on each island.

The head of Berkeley looked up at the hammock set up in the trees in the woods, and took a parchment scroll from his bosom and handed it to Roy.

"What is this?"

Roy asked.

The head of the Berkeley regiment replied with a smile:

"The official name of the Pajisto Half-Blood Elf Guard Regiment, after having the official number, the Guard Regiment is even a supernumerary combat regiment of the Silver Pegasus Legion, you can design a battle flag for the Guard Regiment according to your own ideas, congratulations, Captain Roy!"

Roy unfolded the parchment scroll, and the words 'Pagisto Half-Blood Elven Guards' were written on it, and then under this line of handwriting, there were several red stamps, and Roy thought that the words on the stamps should be Old Elven, because he didn't know a word.

Roy thought that the last time he went to Queen Evanie Island, this guard group already had an official name.

I didn't expect there to be such a parchment scroll.

Roy, knowing that the head of Berkeley had arrived from other islands, asked him:

"How's the battle going on the other islands?"

When the head of Berkeley heard Roy's question, he said with a wry smile: "The Fifth Silver Pegasus Warband is in such a hurry, what do you think?" ”

“……”

Roy didn't expect reinforcements to arrive in Queen Evenny's Islands one after another, and the situation here was still not optimistic.

There's really nothing to do about it, this group of islands is just too big.

"This time, Tallinn Island was captured by the gray dwarf bandits, and when the Fifth Silver Pegasus Warband rushed over, this group of gray dwarf bandits had already driven more than 300 Silver Moon Elf residents of the island to the beach, and all of them cut off their necks."

When he said this, the head of Berkeley's face was a little ugly.

Roy didn't expect these gray dwarf bandits to slaughter the silver moon elves on the island, and it seems that this group of gray dwarf bandits has made up their minds to fight the silver moon elves on the island endlessly.

This is also the last thing the Silver Moon Elves want to see.

Elves respect life more than gray dwarves, and they are also more afraid of death......

The head of the Berkeley regiment went on to say:

"At present, the fleet of gray dwarven bandits has occupied more than a dozen islands east of the Queen Ivanie Islands, and is building fortifications and bunkers on the islands. Although the Silver Pegasus Warband is strong, the five warbands can't take care of all the small islands at all. ”

He didn't expect to occupy the eastern outlying islands of Queen Ivanie Islands so quickly, and Roy thought that the fleet of gray dwarven bandits could enter the West Reef Islands, most of which had something to do with it.

Head of Mission Berkeley continued:

"Every time the Grey Dwarf Bandit raids the island in the fog, once they take the island, they kill all the elves on the island......"

“……”

Roy thought to himself: It's good that the gray dwarf bandits didn't take this island, otherwise the situation here might have been even worse.

For the half-blood elves on the West Reef Islands, in fact, the danger is always there, during this period, the gray dwarf bandits are frequent, as long as there is fog on the sea, the gray dwarf bandits will appear all at once......

Although Key West is the farthest from the Eastern Islands, it is not to be taken lightly......

On the Pagisto Plateau, Roy and the half-blood elven warriors defeated the headhunters.

Now, he was going to garrison the West Reef Islands with this group of half-blood elven warriors, and Roy felt a little headache when he thought of those fierce and cruel gray dwarf bandits.

The commander of Berkeley hurried over, unloaded the supplies, took the gray dwarf prisoners of war, and left again overnight.

The supply fleet also had to go to other islands for supplies......

……

Roy was standing on the dock and had just sent off the head of Berkeley, when he turned around to see the old Silver Moon Elf standing at the edge of the dock where wooden boxes were piled up, squinting at him.

Thinking that the old Silver Moon Elf should be looking for him, Roy strode over.

The old Silver Moon Elf glanced at the docks, which had not yet been fully repaired, and said to Roy:

"There are gray dwarf bandits here every year, but the scale of those gray dwarf bandits is far less big than this time, as long as they dare to dock, we will pick up weapons and wait for them on the dock, those gray dwarf bandits see that there are many people on our island, and they generally don't get off the boat and ...... with us"

"This year's situation is a little different, there are simply too many gray dwarf bandits."

Saying that, the old silver moon elf looked at Roy and asked him:

"Isn't it curious...... Why did we leave the Elven Continent and live on a remote island? ”

“……”

Roy didn't actually think about this in his heart, is there anything strange about living on such a scenic island?

However, since the old Silver Moon Elf asked like this, in order to cooperate with him, Roy still nodded.

"Come with me!"

After the old silver moon elf finished speaking, he bent his waist and walked along the forest path to the hillside with a cane.

He walked slowly, with Roy following behind.

I don't know where the old Silver Moon Elf is going to take him.

Proceeding up the hillside, first through the village where the Silver Moon Elves lived, and then up the path in the dense forest, until the path at his feet was completely blocked by a dense forest and shrubs, and Roy found that there was no road ahead.

The old silver moon elf approached the thorny bush and took a step towards the bush with a blank face.

Under Roy's surprised gaze, the dense thorny rattans in front of him actually shrank to the left and right, and then a winding forest path appeared in front of Roy's eyes again.

The old Silver Moon Elf stepped onto the path and continued up the hillside.

Roy followed the old Silver Moon Elf, looking around curiously, he had a very strange feeling at this time, he suddenly felt as if the trees around him were breathing......

In fact, this is not surprising, many plant-based demonic beasts can do it, so Roy thinks that there may be a plant-based demonic beast hidden in the forest.

He looked around with some vigilance, but after walking for a while, he didn't find anything......

Just when Roy couldn't help but want to ask the old Silver Moon Elf why he was led here, a large tree hundreds of meters tall suddenly appeared in this dense forest, it was tightly packed with the surrounding trees, Roy found that this big tree was a little outrageously big, its trunk diameter may be more than 100 meters, the old bark is like a stone wall, but a vague face grows on the trunk.

As Roy tried to get closer, the entire canopy of the tree shook violently......

At this time, the old silver moon elf on the side had stopped, but Roy couldn't help but continue walking.

Roy felt some kind of inexplicable call ringing in his heart.

The old Silver Moon Elf leaned on crutches and said to Roy, "Lord Cenarius, the Ancient Tree of Wisdom, is calling you, you can come closer and communicate with him." ”

Roy tilted his head and looked at the towering ancient tree in front of him.

Only then did he figure out that the big tree that appeared in front of him was actually an ancient tree of wisdom, no wonder there would be a group of Silver Moon Elves willing to settle here.

Roy had seen a book about these ancient trees in the library across from the Elven Academy.

It is said that the Ancient Tree of Wisdom accumulates a great deal of knowledge over a long period of time, and all of its knowledge is engraved in the annual rings......

……

The ancient tree of wisdom hadn't fully transformed its face, so he couldn't speak yet.

Roy stepped forward with courage and placed a hand on the trunk of the tree, and suddenly a majestic and warm spiritual power completely enveloped him.

made him feel like his whole person was soaked in the bottomless abyss, and the inexplicable power that poured out from all directions seemed to tear him to pieces at once......

Just when Roy was full of anxiety, a pure breath of life passed over and established a spiritual connection with him.

"Child, I can feel the divine power in your body, but it is completely different from the other priests I have seen, those priests are praying to the gods to obtain the divine power, but you are absorbing the particles of holy light around you, so when there is no blessing from the gods, you still have the power of the holy light."

Roy raised his head and asked the Ancient Tree of Wisdom, "So do you know what kind of path I'm going to take?" ”

"Your path is different from those of the priests, let me think about it......"

The Ancient Tree of Wisdom paused for a moment before he said to Roy again:

"I don't know what the path is, I'm just a tree, I haven't seen any other elves walk this way, so I can't give you any answers, you have to find it yourself. But I can see some shadows of the future through the wheel of fortune......"

"Child, you don't belong to the elven world, when you have wings, you will leave this continent......"
