Chapter Forty-Six: Gazing on the Ancient Tree of Life
High Priest Weiner exclaimed, "You are indeed the descendant of the god mentioned by the Holy King!"
Di Xue was puzzled: "Holy King, descendant of God, what are you talking about?"
The high priest said: "Although our dark elf clan lives in seclusion in the underground world Greenstad, but we also have an understanding of the outside world, I know that there is only one clan surnamed emperor on the continent, that is the imperial family of the Rose Flower Empire, and I have also seen the rose flower gold pattern on your robe in the clan classics, it is for the royal family, right?"
After reimbursing their clothes before grilling fish by the river...... Di Xue had to put on the last set of clothes she had left in the space ring, that is, the formal prince's dress that she would only wear when attending important occasions, Di Xue did not expect that in this deep underground world, there would be people who would recognize the royal family emblem on her clothes.
Di Xue said clearly: "I see, I am indeed a member of the imperial family, and I am now the great prince of the empire. But what does this have to do with the descendants of God?"
"It's a long story," said the High Priest of Weiner, "and I know you will be here, because when the Holy King came back the day before yesterday, he said that a descendant of the gods with the staff of holy wood would come to Greenstod in the next few days. ”
Looking at Di Xue's expression of confusion as she listened, the High Priest smiled and said, "In this way, Your Royal Highness, I invite you to be a guest in the holy land of our Dark Elf Clan. With that, High Priest Weiner made an inviting gesture towards the Ancient Tree of Life to Emperor Xue.
Although there were full of questions, Di Xue still shook his head, and he said, "Thank you for the invitation, but I still have something very important to do, so I will have the opportunity to disturb it in the future." ”
High Priest Weiner said, "Are you looking for a human girl?"
Di Xue's eyebrows stood up at that time: "Yes, her name is Taylor, she likes to wear white, do you know where she is?"
High Priest Weiner said, "You don't have to worry, she is safe and is recuperating from her injuries in our dark elves." ”
From Taylor's accident to his adventure all the way to the fog forest, more than four days have passed unconsciously, and finally got Taylor's news, Di Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to the high priest of Weiner: "Then please take me to meet her." ”
After approaching the underground lake formed by the convergence of dozens of underground rivers, Di Xue realized that the bits of golden light on the surface of the lake that he had seen from a distance before turned out to be fireflies.
Specks of fluorescent light floated on the surface of the lake, the lake was slightly rippling, and the reflection was like a star, and since neither Emperor Xue nor the still unconscious dark elf girl Nia could fly, the High Priest of Weiner used magic to send a signal and summon a small wooden boat.
The small wooden boat selling flowers carried Desnow, High Priestess Weiner, and the unconscious Nia to the Ancient Tree of Life, while the young dark elves Adar and Nolan waved their wings and flew along the wooden boat.
The branches and foliage of the ancient trees of the strange life are dense and lush, and some of them are particularly slender and even extend into the lake, swaying gently with the lake water in the breeze, like willows in the spring breeze.
Di Xue looked at the beauty that only appeared in fairy tales in front of her, and was amazed and proud that this qiē was created by her great ancestor.
Through the brief description of the high priest Weiner of Guò, Di Xue was stunned to know that this underground world, known as Glinstod, was actually the masterpiece of the Emperor Chen.
More than a thousand years ago, the Emperor came here to plant the seeds of the Ancient Tree of Life, cultivating the Ancient Tree of Life with the magic of the gods for nine days and nine nights, and finally causing the Ancient Tree of Life to take root and sprout underground.
He did this in order to suppress the Spirit Realm Passage with the vast life breath of the Ancient Tree of Life.
Through the flourishing foliage, you can still see the huge crack in the stone dome directly above the ancient tree of life, and the crack of multicolored brilliance is one of the entrances to the world that once led to the spiritual world.
After suppressing this spiritual passage, because of some chances, the prince of Emperor Chen got acquainted with the Dark Elf King of the year, at that time, the dark elf clan was squeezed out by other races such as the natural elf clan and the light elf clan, and it was not easy to survive on the continent.
The ostracized Dark Elves were tired of living with other Elves, and the Dark Elf King was overjoyed to be able to own an ancient tree of life alone, so he moved in and lived in seclusion in the underground world they named Greenstod for generations.
This event was regarded by these innocent elves as the new birth of the Dark Elves, and the Emperor was also praised as the savior of the Dark Elves, their patron saint
High Priest Weiner returned the Peach Staff he had borrowed from Di Xue to watch it, and exclaimed, "Sure enough, it's a holy wood, Your Royal Highness, please cherish it." ”
Di Xue took the staff and said, "It's okay to call me Di Xue, by the way, why do you call the spade a holy tree?"
Weiner said: "The spade tree that grows on the island of the South Sea God is only one foot long for a hundred years, and it is not afraid of fire and ice, it is the only one in the world, and in the legend of our dark elf clan, it is the same sacred tree of the divine realm that fell to the world as the ancient tree of life, so I call it the holy tree." Legend has it that a weapon made from the trunk of a spade tree can only be used by those with a pure heart, and this staff has unimaginable mysterious powers, I ...... I don't mean to belittle you, but I think that with your current state, you can only use ten percent of its potential at most. ”
Di Xue used to only know that the black peach wood was extremely precious, difficult for ordinary people to obtain, and it was the best material for making zuò magic wands on the mainland, but he never thought that the staff that had always been by his side still had such a legend, thinking that he was still holding it to grill fish not long ago, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
The flower boat rowed across the underground lake, gradually approaching the ancient tree of life rooted in the center of the lake, through the conversation with the high priest of Weiner, Di Xue gained a lot of information about the dark elf clan, and as the boat docked next to the thick roots of the ancient tree of life, thinking that he was about to see Taylor, Di Xue's mood became a little nervous for some reason
The colorful brilliance in the cracks of the stone dome is mixed with the soft blue glow emitted by the endless green leaves of the ancient tree of life, blending together and falling down like a broken golden light like dusk, swaying with the wind and sprinkling on the elven wooden houses built on the huge branches of the ancient trees, and the elves with black butterfly wings fluttering among the huge branches of the wooden houses like black butterflies, this qiē is like a vivid and beautiful oil painting.
The branches of the Ancient Tree of Life were intertwined, each one comparable to the main trunk of an ordinary large tree, and it was no problem for the two of them to walk side by side on it, and countless small elven wooden houses were scattered on it, and a woman dressed in white walked out of a wooden house in a low position, only a few feet from the lake.
The woman appeared to be wounded, with a cane and bandages on her exposed white skin.
The woman in white limped out of the wooden house, and sat down in a position with a good view on the vigorous ancient branches, which made her grin for a while, obviously affecting some of the injuries on her body.
Even with a plank on one leg and a bandage on the other, she shook her slender legs without hesitation, and after a lazy snort in the twilight-like light, the woman in white snapped off a small branch beside her and threw it at a gently waving lake below.
The water splashed everywhere, and a beautiful mermaid jumped up and broke out of the water in the sound of the water, she had a delicate face, a bewitching figure, and a long fish tail with cyan fish scales below the waist, which was actually a legendary mermaid.
The mermaid rubbed her forehead and said angrily to Taylor, who was sitting on a branch overhead, "Sister Taylor, you hit me with a branch again!"
Taylor covered his mouth and grinned, "Who called Nana, you sleep so dead every time, and you can't hear you shouting through the water." ”
The mermaid Nana smiled embarrassedly, spun around in the water, and said to Taylor, "Is there anything wrong with Sister Taylor calling me?"
Taylor sighed, "I'm bored, the scenery here is beautiful, but the twilight here is always so sleepy...... It's no wonder you love sleeping so much here."
Nana blinked her big crystal eyes, with a little drops of water hanging on her long eyelashes, and her unique delicate face of the mermaid clan was extremely cute, she asked curiously: "Sister Taylor, Nana has always wanted to go to the outside world to see, but the elders have a rule, mermaids can't leave Greenstad at will if they haven't reached the realm of transformation, I don't know if the human world is very rich and exciting?"
Looking at the innocent and lovely expression of the mermaid Nana, Taylor was stunned, sighed and said, "The human world is ...... Sometimes it is indeed very interesting, but it is also full of sinister dangers, some evil humans are more terrible than Warcraft, for an ordinary human, Greenstod is like the mythical Holy Heavenly Realm, Nana can live here, very lucky, very happy. ”
Nana said, "I see...... By the way, Sister Taylor, I was out playing in the morning when I saw a human man enter Greenstod, and he was quite cute. ”
Taylor wondered, "Oh? You said you saw a human man?"
Thinking of the human man, the mermaid Nana blushed a little for some reason, and she said, "Yes...... He is very beautiful and has a noble temperament, just like our elf king, and he seems to be a magician, but he seems to be a loser, he actually used his magic wand as a harpoon to grill fish, and used fire magic to roast fish, and finally burned all his clothes, hahaha, it's so cute. ”
Listening to Nana's description of the man's appearance, Taylor opened her mouth with an incredulous look on her face, and she tentatively asked, "He, what does that magic wand he is holding look like?"
Nana recalled, "Well, the staff was more than a man tall, it was black, it seemed to be a very rare wood, and the top was inlaid with a magic crystal that looked like a red diamond. By the way, his clothes were obviously burned, and then I don't know where to conjure up a black outfit, and the roses on it are beautiful. ”
As soon as Nana finished speaking, Taylor almost fell off a branch......
Just when Taylor's mind was still in a state of confusion, and she had not yet recovered from the news she had just received, the sound of conversation behind her drifted into her ears.
Taylor's body stiffened and he looked back in disbelief.
On the intricately coiled branches of the Ancient Tree of Life, two men were walking towards it.
The branches of the ancient tree were very thick, and it was absolutely no problem to walk on them, and the two men walked side by side, both wearing black robes and long black hair, but their temperaments were very different.
The High Priest of Weiner has the unique fresh and mysterious temperament of the elves, and Di Xue has a natural and elegant demeanor, without pretentiousness, causing the dark elves who are flying freely among the huge leaves and branches to stop and look into the distance, guessing who this human man walking with the high priest is.
Di Xue looked up and saw Taylor standing up with a cane not far away.
Just staring at it from afar, my heart palpitated to the point of almost suffocation.
Despite changing into an elven dress, she still wears her favorite white.
Her long, wavy blond hair was much more beautiful than the Brotherhood of Light costume.
I still remember that year, when we met for the first time on the bustling avenue of the Eternal City, she was also dressed in clean white clothes, and her white clothes were dyed with bright sunshine, and she stood in the bustling crowd, pure as a little white flower.
He couldn't help but stop and look at her from afar, in the bright twilight light, she seemed to be an angel standing in the sunset, and he felt that it would be enough to look at her forever.
She didn't imagine that he would come, she couldn't believe he would come, and she was glad he would.
He is still the same, and he is still the same as he has flashed in his mind in the past few days when he is on the verge of death.
Like a natural king, standing with a handsome elf is also so unique.
I still remember the first time I saw him that year, he was thin and thin, and he was also wearing a black noble prince's suit, surrounded by many royal guards, but he was so lonely and sad.
At this time, she just looked at him quietly, as before, but at this moment, she really wanted the colorful and flowing leaf shadow to stop, because she wanted time to stop at this moment.
