Chapter 105 The Real War
Remember [download] in a second,
Most of the strength of the guardian elves comes from the protection and protection of the will of the forest, and around the dimensional portal without the will of the forest, the combat power of the guardian elves will be greatly weakened, and it is definitely not the opponent of Schumpeter, who can rank among the giants of the floating island. And with the will of the forest, Schumpeter can only slowly expand his sphere of influence in the green forest. However, in order to deter the guardian elves and druids, Schumpeter used a variety of cruel methods on his captives, the most famous of which was the four lighthouses set up in the four corners of the base city, called Forest Lights. The fuel for the lighthouse's light is the body and soul of the guardian elves. Of course, these four forest lights are not used to mark directions, and their only function is to be seen by the guardian elves who are secretly observing the base city.
The druids' perception was so acute that they could faintly hear the cries of the guardian elves when they saw the light of the lighthouse.
There are also historical reasons for the construction of these four lighthouses. The purpose of dimensional exploration has never been to simply kill, but to conquer. When a pioneer arrives in a new plane, the first thing he wants is the submission of the natives of his own plane. The collection and exploitation of large amounts of resources requires labor, and there is no better place to exploit them than the natives of the plane. But the guardian elves of the Green Forest are notoriously stubborn, refusing to accept a qiē outsider, not by expulsion, but by torture. In the early days of dimensional exploration, once the Schumpeter family warriors were captured, beheading them was a merciful treatment. They are often skinned whole by the elves before being driven back to the base city. After many such things, the Schumpeter family built Forest Light to torture the soul as revenge on the elves. The situation in the plane has been deadlocked for hundreds of years, but the hatred between the two sides is spiraling.
Due to their distance, tribes such as Aoba have not had contact with the Schumpeter family, but they must have heard a lot about them. Therefore, with the blind obedience of the guardian elves to the Tree of Life and the will of the forest, it is clear that Richard has the favor of the will of the forest, and he still can't help but do it.
So Richard smiled and said, "I know who you're talking about, those guys are called Schumpeter." They have been defeated by me, so all the qiē left behind have been taken by me. As for the four forest lights, they have already been demolished by me. ”
Merlin's face softened a little and said, "But, there are more guardian elves who have died under your hands than Schumpeter, right?"
Richard asked rhetorically, "It seems that many died at your hands, right?"
Merlin was speechless for a moment, and when she was fleeing, many hunters who were chasing her were indeed killed. The Daughter of the Forest is also synonymous with strong combat power. But how could this be the same as Richard, so he argued: "But this is different, we are a war between tribes......"
"War is war. Richard interrupted Merlin, and then said, "This time has allowed me to validate an idea in my heart, that is, the World Tree here is not welcoming to outsiders, and it hates and wants to destroy outsiders. You are the Night Elf, not the Guardian Elf. In the eyes of the Guardian Elves, the Night Elves are also outsiders. The only reason why they didn't make a big move in the past was because of the Great Elder and the Tree of Life. As long as the Great Elder is not there, they will do it, and there is no room for compromise. From this point of view, you Night Elves are no different from me. Or do you think it's better to breed than to be killed?"
Merlin didn't know how she had left. She didn't ask what she wanted, and her mind was a complete mess. Like many Night Elves, she has always considered herself a member of the Guardian Elves and worships the World Tree. But now, Richard reveals the harsh reality to her. Throughout, the Patron Elves remembered who they were.
As Merlin left, under the cover of night, a gaze followed her until she disappeared into the canopy of the Tree of Life. Then this gaze fell on Richard's treehouse, and he glanced at it with great resentment, and then quietly left.
Richard in the treehouse suddenly looked up at the window, thoughtfully, and then let go of the unhappiness in his heart. Most of the Night Elves still consider themselves to be part of the Guardian Elves, so naturally they don't have a good impression of themselves as humans. And even if they know the history, it won't change. Although the High Elves of the Elven Court of the Eternal Night Forest have been reduced to the point of no return, the so-called Great Elf Kings are at best a small leader who leads a tribe, but they still do not change their arrogant style. They looked down on any race other than the High Elves, and even within the High Elves they had to be divided into three, six, nine and so on. So dealing with the High Elves is never pleasant, even if they fall.
In the records left by the Elven Court, the High Elves at that time were accustomed to talking about the splendor of the Elven Empire, and did not pay attention to the Human Empire beyond the forest. It was a kind of arrogance that Lao Tzu's ancestors had also been broad. I remember that when I saw these records at the time, Richard was also quite sad and laughing.
So now, he doesn't think much of the elves' hostility is right, and the elves' hatred doesn't need any reason anyway. There are also different people among the High Elves, such as Akane and Merlin, who are friendly to outsiders. In Richard's memory, Illani was even more gentle-natured, and she was kind and welcoming to everyone in the small mountain village. As the only magician and doctor in the mountain village, everyone is helped by her. Now it seems that they are indeed all outliers among the elves.
The night passed quickly, and it came again. Richard never left his treehouse, eating only some fruit. He was working the data of the Annihilation Plane. The Tree of Life of the Eternal Night is much stronger and more supportive of him than his own. It won't take long for Richard to replenish the enormous amount of energy he expended in his thoughts.
There is no moon in the green forest plane, and the elves of the Eternal Night Tribe calculate time by the tides of the moon well, while Richard judges time by directly sensing the power of the moon. It's the time when the moon is at its strongest, that is, at midnight. While Richard was meditating, a few bits of light suddenly floated in front of him, and then converged into an image. This is a scene of a forest spirit, her upper body is a human body, and the lower half of her body is a forest white deer. When she appeared, she said, "Richard, I'm the Tree of Eternal Night Life by your side." ”
Richard was surprised: "You can make your will manifest? other life trees only have this ability when they reach the full body stage." ”
"I am the Tree of Life from the Elven Court, how can I compare it to those small trees!" the Tree of Eternal Night Life visibly looked a little displeased.
Richard laughed, "Those aren't small trees either. Okay, what are you looking for me?"
"The Great Elder is ready for a decisive battle with Iscara. ”
Richard stood up: "When?!"
"Soon, probably tonight. Just look at it. As he spoke, Lin Jing, who had been transformed into the Tree of Life, waved his hand and showed the image in Akane's room in front of Richard. Akane was sitting in front of the desk, writing something on the paper spread out in front of her. It was evident that she struggled to write every word, and her hands were shaking slightly. The image was a little blurry, but after only looking at the beginning, Richard knew that Akane was writing a suicide note.
In the image, Akane is wrapped in layers of thick gray mist, and from time to time they shoot a wisp around, and then they will crash into an invisible barrier and be blocked. These gray mists seemed to have their own thoughts and lives, and they were actually adsorbed on the energy barrier, constantly eroding and transforming the barrier that blocked them. From Richard's point of view, it was a gray spot in the east and west, weird and terrifying. This is Iscara's cursed power, and the barrier against them is naturally erected by the Tree of Eternal Life. Only the Tree of Life, which can provide tremendous power, can block Iscara's cursed power regardless of loss.
"What is she going to do?"
The Tree of Life replied, "The Great Elder will inform me, and then I will teleport the entire room to the void beyond the crystal wall of the Plane Surface, where Iscara has predetermined the battleground. In this case, Iscara will not gain a foothold here. ”
By this time, Akane had already finished writing the letter and put it in two envelopes. One of the letters was addressed to Richard, while the other had Merlin's name written on it.
"When she decides to leave, send me to the house. ”
The Tree of Life was taken aback, "You're going with her?
Richard knew what the Tree of Life was thinking and said, "I'll be back!"
The Tree of Life didn't believe it at all: "But that's Iscara!"
"You don't know what Iscara is, do you? but I know, and I can say, I can get back. As long as you provide me with clear coordinates. ”
The coordinates are fine, but ......'s persuasion from the Tree of Life didn't work, because by this time, Akane had already started to change her armor.
She took off her shroud-like robes, revealing a skeleton-like body. Akane took a deep breath, and a strong light emerged from the center of her eyebrows, and for a moment the whole room was dyed with a layer of gold! Majestic power surged in Akane's body, and then her body quickly plumped and plump, and in an instant, she became an elf girl, as beautiful as ever. Her body is not as delicate as a normal elf, but it exudes an explosive sense of power under the perfect curve, which is the perfect combination of strength and beauty.
Silver Moon Elves have a long life, and it is not surprising that a genius like Akane who broke through to the legendary realm at a young age even if he lived for thousands of years. Now Akane is at the most dazzling time in her life cycle. She stood in front of the mirror, silently looking at herself in the mirror, as if she wanted to engrave the beauty of this moment in her heart. After a few moments, Akane took out a box and took out a set of elven armor from which she had been stored for a long time. This suit of armor is mediocre, with no special features in terms of enchantment, material, or style decoration, just like the armor of an ordinary High Elf warrior. Is Akane going to use this armor as her final suit?
Richard was not mistaken, Akane was holding a set of armor of an ordinary Silver Moon Elf warrior at the moment. This is the armor she wore when she and Ilani traveled through trials.
