Chapter 107 Choice
Aside from the curse, Richard knew nothing about Iscara. Originally, since he had the potion of fire, Richard wanted to ask if there was a potion that could make Akane's soul strong enough to escape from the curse. But Van Lin directly shattered Richard's hopes.
Upon returning to the Green Forest, Richard had his followers and Constructed Knights assemble and once again rush to the Eternal Night Tribe.
Akane didn't look much different from before, her whole body was wrapped tightly, ordinary people couldn't see the difference, and even her aura had strengthened a little. However, Richard felt that Akane's aura began to fluctuate faintly, which showed that she had already suppressed the power of the curse with all her might, and it was difficult to control the overflow of power. This is not a good phenomenon, and with the rise and fall of one and the other, the days that Akane can support are numbered.
Coming out of Akane's treehouse, Richard's heart was a little heavier. Akane became more cheerful than the last time, but Richard knew that she was actually comforting herself.
Richard walked down the Tree of Life, and the path was very quiet. The elves of the eternal night prefer to live in villages under the trees, and the tree of life is mostly covered by functional structures such as altars and temples. As he walked around a corner, Richard suddenly heard a faint quarrel. Richard didn't know it, but when he heard that one of them was Merlin, he slowed down, slowly gathered his breath, and stood in the corner. As soon as Richard strengthened his senses, the sound of the quarrel immediately became clear. The two sides were actually arguing in an ancient way of encryption, and the elf opposite Merlin had laid a natural barrier around it, and when the sound came out of the barrier, it would be disturbed by the natural force and become the sound of the night wind.
Obviously, the elf didn't want his conversation with Merlin to be known. But this little trick could not be effective in front of Richard. As soon as Richard's mind moved, a wisp of natural power extended out and merged into the natural barrier. In an instant, the conversation between the elf and Merlin reached Richard's ears.
"Merlin, this is for the whole tribe!" the elf looked agitated, almost roaring. He calmed down a little, slowed his tone, and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper. However, the blue sky is too important. It's not just for the tribe, it's for you...... and me. ”
"Kao, what does this have to do with us?" Merlin's voice was cold.
"You are already the Daughter of the Forest, and I am only one step away from awakening to become a Child of the Forest. I...... Don't you understand my mind?" quivered in Kao's voice.
Merlin still said coldly: "In this time of crisis, I am not interested in love. ”
“...... All right. But only you can get close to the Great Elder and get in touch with the blue sky. Do you know its history?"
Merlin was stunned and said, "You know?"
Kao gritted his teeth and said, "I know! Before our Eternal Night Tribe came to the Green Forest, we were one of the other great empires of dimensional elves. We are all remnants of that elven empire. It is said that the predecessor of the Eternal Night Tribe was a High Elf called the Silver Moon Elves. ”
"Then we have the blood of the Silver Moon Elves in our veins?" Merlin was a little incredulous. She, like the newborn elves, was unfamiliar with the history that had been deliberately concealed.
"Exactly! That's why our warriors of the eternal night are far stronger than the other tribes, why there are so many elves in our tribe who have become sons of the forest and daughters of the forest! because we have the blood of the High Elves in our veins! our bloodline is far more noble and powerful than the guardian elves of this plane!" Kao said, the more excited he became, his eyes shining. Elves are naturally pedigrees, and there is nothing happier than proving that their bloodlines are noble and pure.
Merlin's breathing was also a little rapid: "We are the descendants of the High Elves?"
"And that's not all, you know, I found a box of old books in the corner of the tribe's library, and they were all useless things. But there is a book in it that contains some fragments of history from the past. The Silver Moon Elves were not just High Elves, but they were also the royal family of the Elven Court at that time!"
"Is this true?"
At that time, the Elven Empire had seven artifacts, and the blue sky was probably one of the seven artifacts!"
Mei Lin felt a little suffocated: "You mean, the Great Elder's spear is one of the artifacts of the Ancient Elven Empire?"
"Yes, the seven artifacts all have illustrated books, and I realized that the spear used by the Great Elder was exactly the same as the spear in it. And even the name is the same, it can't be such a coincidence. In front of us, the Great Elder certainly didn't fully use the full power of the Azure Sky. ”
Merlin didn't know what she was thinking, and was silent.
Kao stepped forward, grabbed Merlin's arms, and said in a deep voice, "Steal the blue sky, and then we get out of here!" The two of us are the owners of the most powerful bloodline of the Eternal Night Tribe, and with the artifact Blue Sky, there will definitely be a day of revenge for the entire tribe in the future!"
Merlin looked straight at Kao and asked, "What about the Great Elder, and what about the brothers and sisters in the tribe?"
"The Great Elder can't fight the curse even if he holds the blue sky!, and the rest of the tribe, we don't have the power to save them now. If you take them with you, the end result is that we will all be captured and become tools for the enemy to breed! Do you like this fate? I don't like it anyway. Otherwise, everyone will die together, but the Eternal Night Tribe will be finished from now on! Fighting to death is the easiest thing, but it takes real courage to live! The Great Elder is going to die anyway, and she doesn't need the blue sky anymore. Kao spoke quickly and urgently.
Merlin thought for a moment, then slowly broke free from Kao's grasp and said, "The blue sky is the Great Elder's beloved thing. She should do what she wants to do with the blue sky, even if she wants this artifact to accompany her to sleep forever. I'm not going to touch the Great Elder's stuff. ”
"You ......" Kao didn't know what to say.
"I still want to stay and face my fate with my brothers and sisters in the tribe," Merlin said. What's more, even if the Great Elder is gone, the Eternal Night Tribe will not necessarily die. Richard promised to help us. ”
"Richard? the outsider, that human? he's an intruder, he, he's not an elf at all. Don't let him fool you!, Humans have always been liars and bandits!" Kao said with some annoyance.
Mei Lin shook her head and said, "No, Richard is not a liar, and the Great Elder also approves of him. You don't know, the Great Elder once confessed, once ...... Once she's gone, if we can't keep the Tree of Life, we can find a way to break through and go to Richard. ”
"This ...... This can't be! Richard is a human being! The Great Elder can't help us, how can a human be able to resist the many tribes under the World Tree?"
"Richard is very good, he might really have a way. At least, I'm willing to believe him!"
Kao looked at Merlin and suddenly said, "Do you like him?"
Merlin's voice suddenly raised an octave: "How is it possible! Enough, I think tonight's conversation can end here!"
She waved her hand and broke the barrier, turned around and left. After taking a few steps, Mei Lin hesitated for a moment, turned back and said, "There is some truth in your words. I'll stay, and you can leave. ”
With that, Merlin walked away quickly. Kao stood still for a moment before turning and leaving.
Richard stood in the shadows until they were all far away before heading to his lodgings.
Richard lived in a fine cottage under a tree. The decoration here is exuberant in the style of the High Elves, and even a candlestick is so intricate and beautifully made that you can see that a lot of craftsmanship has been spent at first glance. In the candlelight, Richard was buried in a thick book, which was the entire record of the Eternal Dragon Temple's twelve demon gods of the Annihilation Plane. Although Iscara is the thirteenth new demon god to appear, they are all from the Annihilation Plane, and they directly embody the rules of a certain level of the plane, so there must be similarities. Knowing more about the Twelve Demon Gods is always good for facing Iscara.
While he was immersed in his study, there was a soft knock on the door. Richard didn't look up and said, "Is it Merlene?" ”
Mei Lin walked into the room, hesitated for a while, and finally made up her mind and asked, "Is there a way to save the Great Elder?"
Richard closed the book in his hand, smiled wryly, and said, "You asked the worst question." ”
"There's no hope at all?" Merlene's face turned much paler.
"Everything in the world will always have weaknesses, and the same is true of demon gods. It's just a matter of seeing if we can figure it out. ”
Mei Lin only took Richard's words as comfort, and there were tears in her eyes in an instant, and she whispered, "If the Great Elder leaves, we ...... What should we do?"
Richard groaned for a moment and said, "Do you want to hear the truth?"
Merlin looked up and reluctantly said, "Yes." ”
"The best I can think of is for the entire Eternal Night Tribe to move into my territory. I'll find a way to take the Tree of Life with me, and if I can't save the Tree of Life, it doesn't matter, I still have a Tree of Life there. As long as you reach my territory, the World Tree will no longer threaten you. ”
"Your ...... Territory?" Merlin was extremely clever and immediately caught the key word.
Richard pondered for a moment, then decided to reveal it to her, saying, "Yes, the plane portal, oh, the one known as the Kuroshio Gate among the guardian elves, belongs to me. It's all around me, and it's constantly expanding. The breached tribe of guardian elves is now subdued by me, and their tree of life has been submitted to me. If you want the tree of life in Norland, I can try to get one. ”
"You...... You are the leader of the invaders, how come the Great Elder didn't ...... Didn't kill ......," Merlin couldn't go on.
Richard understood after a moment's thought. Merlin must have thought of him as the Schumpeters. Just looking at the results left by Schumpeter's room, we know that under those few doses of fierce poison, many guardian elves have become victims. (To be continued)
