Dust of History Chapter 9: You can’t die because I won’t allow you to die (on)

In the center of the Whispering Forest, the towering ancient war tree has begun to wither.

The huge crown of the tree has turned yellow, and the countless emerald green leaves have lost their vitality and water and are slowly withering. Falling yellow leaves covered the entire area for several miles, and the huge branches had already begun to wither. Like a dying giant, the Ancient War Tree was dying slowly and magnificently in a way commensurate with his size.

Under the ancient trees, the sunwell that had always been sparkling has dried up, which is why even the Forest of Whispers has begun to mutate.

Even if the ancient war tree had drained all the water, the well water that would continue to slowly recover was no longer there, and even the moss-covered bluestone around it became as dry and strange as cinders. The sky was still cloudless, but for some reason, the sunlight that shone down was not bright, and even the light that shone down had a kind of cold gloom.

What the Ancient War Tree depends on for its survival is not ordinary water and nutrients, but the energy in the veins and the rays of the sun. Although the dark star has not been fully opened, the breath of death has begun to spread along the earth's veins. Not only the Ancient War Tree, even the entire Forest of Whispers has begun to show signs of withering and death. All the old trees were beginning to wither, and the unicorns and pegasus were all restless.

If the leaves of the world tree are still there, even if there is still the last one, then the boundless vitality and the sun well can complement each other to resist the erosion of this breath. As long as the three leaves of the World Tree can be intact, even the doomsday judgment tens of thousands of years ago could not level this place. But now all is gone. The elves will also face this catastrophe together with other races.

On the top of the tree, standing in the altar where the leaves of the world tree were originally placed was Gru, whose skin has now become lifeless black. He stood there motionless, looking no different from a black rock statue.

Beside him, several elves held up huge leaves, and streams of cool water poured down from the leaves. They fell very slowly. He was also very careful, his face was so solemn that it was not water but their lives. Every drop of fine water drops is under their control.

Beside the altar, Luya sat upright with her eyes closed, reciting a spell slowly, and the green magic wave swirled around the water like a faint mist.

"This is already the last well water in the Sunwell, and you actually used it... on a humble half-elf..." Kailin stared blankly at the leaves held up by the elves in the center of the altar. "If Elder Lloyd hadn't told us to help you, I don't know why Elder Luya would listen to you. I would definitely summon all the elves to stop you."

"Humble half-elf... Is this how you describe this ally who once saved your elves?" Asa said with a sneer.

"I admit that General Gru has helped us. But he is a half-elf after all, and his unique aura and appearance cannot be concealed. Even if we agree with his status, under the current situation He will never agree with his blood. Since ancient times, the sons and daughters of the noble elves and the humble humans are the most humble, and only the elves with the noble blood of the royal family are eligible to touch the sun well and the leaves of the world tree, The more you can be accepted by this power of life and light..."

"Shut up, I'm not in the mood to learn about your stinky and long cultural traditions." Asa waved his hand and interrupted the elf patrol with a dark face. He's in a bad mood right now. Originally hoped to find a solution to the current situation in the Forest of Whispers, but found nothing.

When he brought Gru here, the elves already knew the appearance of the Dark Star from the changes in the leaves of the Sunwell and the World Tree. What's more surprising is that Elder Lloyd didn't seem to be too shocked or flustered, but he was a little surprised by Asa's direct appearance here. After he turned around to clean up, he said that he had something important to leave, and he generously left a sentence for Asa's request: "Mr. Asa has helped our elves a lot, if there is anything he needs to help We must all help."

This sentence is indeed extremely great. But Asa didn't find any useful help. In the books of the elves, all the records about the black star suddenly 'disappeared'. Whenever they asked about how to deal with the black star, the other elves, including Luya, faltered and hawed. The elves are not good at disguising, Asa can see that the generous elf elder must have said something in private after saying that generosity in public. With the brains of the elves, since they decided that they would not say anything something that says nothing.

Asa sighed secretly. After thinking about it, he vaguely guessed why. As early as when Glory Castle was imprisoned, he vaguely knew something from Lancelot. And the few people who have been vaguely hanging behind him have already explained the problem. But he didn't tell the truth, because even if he said it, it would have no effect.

In addition, Asa's other requirements did get the help of the elves. All the elf elders who can use natural magic have used natural recovery magic on Gru, but the traces of the black breath left on his body have not diminished in the slightest.

Even if it is not a complete body, the king of the dead has merged with the black star. There is no difference between Gru's punch and hitting the black star, and even the bodies of the ancient dragons and titans cannot withstand the erosion of the boundless darkness. The blackness that was originally just on the fist has completely spread to Gru's whole body. Asa can feel that there is only a green and white intersecting breath in the deepest part of his body, which is the power of the leaves of the world tree. In addition, the body that was once full of incomparable power has become like a mass Ashes.

The natural magic of elves is not completely useless. Asa could feel that as long as the elves used magic, the power of the World Tree leaf in Gru's body was slowly agitating. It's just that the power of the dark star is too strong and too dark, there is no way to break through it at all.

"Try with the well water from the sun well." Asa thought for a while and finally said.

If it is in normal times, this requirement is naturally no problem. But now the source of the Sunwell is already drying up. If the remaining well water in the well is used up again, the barrier of the entire Whispering Forest, the source of power for the Ancient War Tree and the Deadwood guards will all disappear immediately.

"Didn't Elder Lloyd say that you will help me wherever I need help? The source of the Sunwell's power has been lost, and the water can only temporarily maintain the enchantment of the Forest of Whispers. The enchantment is now impossible to withstand the doomsday, and the water can no longer go out of the well for a long time. In this case, it is better to use it for me now. At least as far as I know, General Gelu is the only one who can threaten that monster. .”

"Okay." After thinking for a long time, Luya nodded and agreed. The elf girl's face was always covered by a thick haze. Unlike before, she didn't take the initiative to talk to Asa, but sometimes stared at Asa with very strange eyes.

"Elder Luya. If we do this, the Forest of Whispering..." All the other elders objected.

"You don't need to say anything, Elder Lloyd has already said that, we want us to help him as much as possible. And what he said is also reasonable.

Besides Lloyd, she is already the most decisive person in the Whispering Forest. As long as she agrees, the other elves can only follow suit.

Following Luya's spell, fine drops of water dripped on Gru's body. The water did not slide down his body, nor did it splash, but was completely integrated with the green magic waves around the water. His body, and then the black that seemed to have solidified into the true color of his body finally began to change.

Although it is very slow, the black at the water drop is indeed dissipating. The key is that Asa can feel that the vitality that is intertwined with the power of the World Tree leaf in Gru's body has also begun to grow slowly, and is slowly developing outward.

"Fortunately, it seems to be really effective." Asa finally breathed a sigh of relief. This is the only good news he has these days, and it is also the best good news he can achieve so far.

Looking at the blackness on Gru's body slowly dissipating, Asa's mind has already fallen elsewhere, he is meditating. Under the current situation, what he is facing seems to be an unsolvable situation.

Suddenly the elves started to make noise~IndoMTL.com~ Asa was also slightly taken aback, looking up at the sky. A huge shadow has already flown over the ancient war tree, and it is circling and landing towards the top of the ancient war tree.

All the surrounding elves took out their bows and arrows, and some began to chant spells. It's not that they are allergic to any uninvited guests, but that accompanied by this huge figure is a surge of magic, which makes the elves instinctively feel terror and hostility. Even Luya and those elves who were casting spells stood up in panic.

"Everyone, don't panic, this is not an enemy and will not threaten everyone." Asa shouted loudly, and made a reassuring gesture to Luya.

This breath is very familiar to him, and it makes him feel kind to appear here at this time.

The huge flying shadow reached the top of everyone's heads in an instant. It was a huge monster comparable to a giant dragon. It had a strange shape, and its entire body was composed of corpses. What made the elves flustered was the smell of dead bodies and the stronger smell of necromantic magic.

Sandro jumped off the huge corpse, looked around, and let out a sigh of relief. "I never thought I would have the opportunity to come to this place in this life."
