208 Eternal Enemy
Sprinkle the Moon Spring Forest.
This is a unique architectural form of the elf race, a hollow palace, which is also a special building that can only be seen in the Sprinkled Moon Spring Forest on the mainland. The warm climate of the four seasons and the nature-loving personality made it possible for the elven craftsmen to completely ignore the warmth of the palace. They are masters of art in their own right, so they are more likely to be inspired by the openwork structure, and the structure itself has a unique beauty.
The brilliance of the sun and moon pours in from the hollow, and the cycle of day and night and the change of solar terms will clearly and directly affect the style it presents. Overkills strolled through it, carefully observing the exquisite and concise openwork carvings around him, and praised them.
"Overkill, are you here to see these sculptures?" the Elven Queen sat lazily in the White Jade Throne and snorted, "Besides, you haven't been able to stay in the Moon Spring Forest for the past few days, don't you think it's not appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate?" Overkill looked up and smiled with a lovely bewilderment, "I lived here for decades as a child, and I knew each other very well. ”
"I thought you had forgotten about that," the queen said, looking at him and striking at him, "you should have seen it too, Lord Goodall is not what you and I imagined, and thousands of years may have made those records a little inaccurate, and it may even be that Lord Gushu's personality has changed...... He is no longer like the war ancient tree back then, unconditionally supporting the war of the elven race. ”
"No, no," Auverkiel smiled and shook his head, correcting him, "it's not that Lord Gooderdu's personality has changed, it's that we've misunderstood the original meaning of those accounts. ”
"Oh?" Overkills wasn't as depressed as she thought. This made the Elven Queen wonder a little.
"In the ancient texts, Lord Gooderdu has always been the representative of the main battle faction of the Ancient Tree group, but it would be a mistake to think that he would support the idea of the Elven Race's expansion," Overkilll explained softly. "I rechecked the relevant information, and realized that Lord Gudeldu was a proponent of war, but from the invasion of the evil gods to the Burning Ashes, he had never set foot in the forest. We've been on the defensive, and the war has been going on around the forest, which is why we misunderstood him, but now that I think about it, the ancient trees at that time were partly to protect the elves, and partly to protect the forest. I don't know. ”
"Really...... Anyway, it seems that the Ancient Tree will not support the radicals?" the Elven Queen chuckled triumphantly, "You're going to be disappointed, Overkill. ”
"In a sense, I'm very disappointed that Master Goodall might be more neutral than he had chosen to support us as I had hoped," Offkill's face showed no disappointment. He looked at the plainly colored mural with his hands and said lightly. "But my Queen, do you think that the flames of war will never burn into the Moonsong Forest?"
The Elven Queen's face changed slightly, and she frowned, "What did you find again?" The Supreme Nine Towers are closely related to the situation in the world, and the chaos often takes the changes in the Nine Towers as the first signs. As the master of the "Green Tower". Overkillr has a keen instinct for the situation to change, and within the Elven Clan, the master of the Green Tower has always played the role of prophet.
"The fighting is raging, and the forest is not far away. Overkille whispered, "Someday, you will be grateful to me for urging the armaments of your clan, my Queen. ”
"Make it clear to me, Overkill," said the graceful and elegant Elven Queen, who probably only made such a scorn in front of an old friend like Overkill, "you know that I hate you playing dumb riddles in front of me the most. ”
"It feels like it's inherently illusory, how can you let me make it clear," Ofkir shook his head helplessly, and then asked, "I'll tell you when it's time to say it, but now, I want to ask what you think of Allegri?" Actually, finding out the Queen's attitude towards Allegri is the real purpose of his visit.
Allegri ...... You mean...... The rabbit thief?" The Elven Queen thought for a moment, as if she suddenly remembered some tragic past, and gritted her teeth slightly, "He'd better never leave the protection of Lord Gooderdu, or I'll make him pay enough." ”
"Isn't it just a little pet, don't be like that little girl," Overkille patted his head helplessly, remembering the picture of Allegri and Fletcher feasting, he couldn't help but have a headache, and hurriedly explained, "I have asked Perrin to provide them with food, and this will never happen again in the future, for the sake of Lord Gushu's face, you should be more tolerant......"
"Hmph," the Elven Queen interrupted him with a low snort, but the expression on her face softened a little. In a blink of an eye, she saw that the maid at the gate of the palace was waiting with her head probed, she hurriedly cleaned up her appearance, and said clearly, "What's the matter?" ”
"Your Majesty," said a maid trotting in, glancing at Overkill, and whispering, "Your Majesty, it is so, the fawn you have stocked in the Imperial Garden...... I couldn't find it last night...... I haven't seen it until now......"
Elven Spring.
"Your cooking skills are average," Allegri wondered, touching his round belly, "but how do I feel that I have gained a lot of weight these days?"
"Huh. For such a shameless complaint, Fletcher could only laugh in return.
"Allegri, stout is also a beauty. Above their heads, the old Gu said with a rumbling smile, but is this really an explanation?
However, in the past few days, the waistline of the old tree has surged to the thickness of more than a dozen people, and when it comes to the amount of weight gain, it can really blow Allegri out of three streets.
"You're pretty stout," Allegri said, standing up and tapping the trunk of the old tree, which he could only touch at its roots, "but I can't communicate with you." ”
"Hey...... Don't tickle me. The stretched roots slapped Allegri's hand aside, and the old tree's laughing branches trembled.
"Be careful with Illo. Allegri sat down next to him and glanced at the sleeping half-elf. His fingers were already twitching slightly, and it was clear that he was not far from a complete awakening.
"This guy is easy, he is a hero for a while, but it hurts me, it's just bloody all the way," Allegri shook his head helplessly, but when he thought of Illo, he also remembered something, and looked up and said, "Hey, Old Gu, I remember you said that you had a fight with the evil god?"
"Huh?" replied Gu, his messy beard windless, "yes, what's wrong?"
"Speaking of which, I met a ...... two days ago," Allegri said loudly, "Do you know the elves who call him the King of Evil Spirits?"
"I've heard of it, but shouldn't he be sealed?" the old tree's expression became a little serious.
"I don't know much about the situation in the Elven Homeland," Allegri asked, thinking, "but wasn't the passage to Hell sealed 10,000 years ago?
"The evil god is sealed...... It turns out that you also know the Tao, who did you listen to?" asked Lao Gu.
"Yes...... Lord August, we have been on an expedition to the Elven homeland, and we have met him once. Allegri hesitated for a moment, then explained frankly.
"August...... it took a long time for Gu Gu to react this time, and it took a long time before he said slowly with a little abruptness and reminiscence, "However, it's been 10,000 years...... Is he still alive?"
Allegri, of course, knew what he meant, and this time he hesitated for a long time before whispering, "He has transformed into ...... Lich. ”
"Oh......" Old Gu was silent for a long time before he sighed and said in a deep voice, "Then it's no wonder that the seal will be loosened, but those evil gods who invaded the forest thousands of years ago did not escape from the seal. Ten thousand years ago, the 'Clear Springs Council' thought that they had successfully sealed the dimensional passage, but they really knew too little about the evil gods, and only sealed the most powerful of the evil gods, such as the most powerful Scarlet Blade, and the king of the evil spirits you said, and some other evil gods had already escaped and hid on the continent, and only reappeared after a thousand years of dormancy, causing trouble. ”
"Could it be that the Crimson Blade is more powerful than the Demon King?" Allegri took a deep breath and whispered, "Speaking of which, Old Gu, what kind of existence are these evil gods?"
"They come from different planes, and I can't guess with the common sense of this world, I can only try to explain it to you," Old Gu said slowly, "but you can imagine them as a powerful spirit body with consciousness, and the so-called lich is actually a weakened version of the evil god." However, the evil gods can exist on their own without any reliance, and as spirit bodies, they have a legendary power. The hell that produces these spirits is filled with chaotic negative energy, which also directly affects their evil nature, and is our common enemy. ”
"Are you saying that the nature of an evil god is inherently evil?" Allegri wondered. According to Illo's explanation, these immortal evil gods, everything is a playful mentality.
"To us, they are evil," said the old man, "since their activities are aimed at destruction, they are our enemies." ”
"Are you acting for sabotage?" Allegri muttered, his expression a little inexplicable.
"Or rather, they take pleasure in destruction......" the old tree lowered his voice, and muttered, "until now, I don't know what their purpose is. We and them are two completely opposite extremes, and we will be enemies for eternity. (To be continued......)
