Killing God: 085 Eternal Tree
Accompanied by the newly born morning sun, under the leadership of Akka, Morrowind descended from the top of the Canopy Palace and came to the main gate again. This time, the golden guards standing in front of the gate did not stop them.
"His Royal Highness, the king is looking for you, hurry in." One of them said after they saw the princess.
"Understood." Akka seemed to be friendly to everyone, and there was no princess pretence in front of these guards.
She took Morrowind out of the Canopy Palace. When Morrowind came in, she found that it was indeed the palace of the elves. Although there were no magnificent decorations and luxurious displays, there was no corner where the construction could be seen. The attentiveness of the craftsman.
Almost everything here is decorated with wood carvings, and there are many indoor plants, all exuding vitality, especially some very cute little potted plants, which also glow, Akka told Morrowind that it was glowing and succulent, is her favorite plant.
Going further, through many halls and circuitous corridors, Akka brought Morrowind to an unremarkable room. She told Morrowind that it was the residence of his father, the Elf King, but he usually Neither are here.
Opening the door, Akka walked in first, and then Morrowind followed. After entering, Morrowind saw that there was not much difference between the inside and the outside. It was a very simple room filled with various The books were packed very neatly.
And it is not difficult to see that these books are usually read by someone, not because no one moves them so they are so neat. There is no window in this room, and there is a large portrait on the wall. There are three people on it, a heroic and extraordinary man Holding a beautiful woman, and in that woman's arms is an elf holding a small baby.
A family portrait that can be placed in the bedroom, without exception, this must be the Akka family, the portrait of the elf king, his wife and Akka. In front of this portrait, there is a tall elf standing with his back to the Morrowind and Akka, with long silver hair scattered behind them and a platinum headband on their heads, are naturally the elf kings.
"Dad." Akka let go of Morrowind, shouted and ran to the Elf King.
The Elf King turned around and hugged his daughter, then let go and looked at Morrowind.
"I'm Thranduil, welcome, friend from afar." The Elf King was stern, but friendly.
"I have seen His Majesty the King, I am Morrowind Honglu." Morrowind responded politely and bowed his head.
"Thank you for bringing back the Shuiyin lineage. The Council of Elders will properly handle their affairs. The news they brought back is very valuable. The elves are always ready to fight, but the current elves, I'm afraid... Thranduil didn't finish his words, but Morrowind could guess that it must be because of the Eternal Tree.
The entire content of the prophecy brought back by the Shuiyin lineage is that the land of the elves will undergo great changes in the near future, and the battle is certain. The sacred relics left behind, although broken and broken, were immediately broken after the last foreshadowing, but the accuracy was very high.
The elves are not a race that loses their fighting ability after living a comfortable life. Their excellent archers and magicians are still constantly seeking to be stronger and more profound. Even in battle, they are not afraid at all, but after the battle , The problem of the eternal ancient tree cannot be solved either. This is the biggest crisis of the elves.
"I brought the Fountain of Eternity." Morrowind said, and without waiting for Thranduil to ask, Morrowind told him all about the encounter with the priestess on Roaring Isle.
Then Morrowind stretched out his hand, and the green-gold ring on his finger gleamed. Thranduil frowned when he saw the ring, and was quite concerned.
"The Moon God?" The Elf King murmured a name.
"Is her name Luna?" Only now did Morrowind notice that the person who burned his last life to help them, of course, can also be said to help the elves, but in any case, Morrowind is the beneficiary, seven Original Sin Lingwei was very powerful, but he didn't even know her name.
"This is a fatal mistake of the elves. If it wasn't for the original... sigh, the elves would not have become like this." Thranduil recalled, but at that time he was not the king of the elves, and he was more than two hundred years old. He is still a child in the eyes of all elves.
"Let's go and heal the tree of eternity first." Morrowind took the fountain of eternity out of his pocket, the clear spring water and the hazy mist, Thranduil recognized it at a glance, this is the real eternity fountain.
As an elf king, he has been in a high position for many years, but he is actually excited at this moment. He took the crystal bottle and stared at the spring water in the bottle. After years of research and experiments, they found out There are few ways to save the eternal ancient tree, but the most critical places need 3. Now that there are 3, the eternal ancient tree must be saved.
As long as the Eternal Ancient Tree is restored to life, the elves will not decline, and many king blood elves will still appear. Thinking of this, he looks positive.
"Follow me." After Thranduil finished speaking, he left the other door in the room. Akka greeted Morrowind and quickly followed. Morrowind didn't know what to do with him next. , but he also wanted to take a closer look at the Eternal Tree, and he followed, and he still had something to ask Thranduil.
After passing the door, there is a staircase spiraling downward, and you can directly see the bottom lake from above. The city of Eternal Tree was originally built above the Lake of Gwell, and it is not uncommon to see the lake. , Morrowind saw Thranduil fly straight down, and Akka followed behind.
Now Morrowind doesn't dare to jump down directly, so I have no choice but to follow the stairs obediently. The distance from here to the bottom is not short. It takes a long time to take the stairs. I wanted to jump straight down, after all, there is water below, but in the end I gave up the idea.
Eternal Tree City, in addition to the Crown Palace, there is another place that is very well built, that is, the Council of Elders. Although the elves have a king, the king's decision does not mean everything. If it is an unreasonable order, the Council of Elders has The right questioned the king, and this is where all the things of the elves are dealt with in daily life.
However, the rules of the elves are very simple, there are not many rules and regulations, the work of the council of elders is actually not easy, and even elves come here for a jar of honey, which is not uncommon in the elves.
We welcomed a group of special guests here yesterday. Their request was very simple. They just wanted to make a public defense in front of all the members of the Council of Elders, and this was already allowed by the princess.
For that lively little princess, the elders of the Council of Elders will smile when they think of it. Anyway, they have nothing to do when they are idle. Although the situation of the Eternal Ancient Tree has been bad recently, it is the magic team who are really worried and busy. The study of the study has little to do with them.
So they convened all the members in the Senate Chamber of Elders and listened to the group of people's defense. Lulu and a few Shui Yin, in front of all the members, told what happened in those years, their lives over the years, and I hoped to return to the spirit of the elves, and said everything, and also said the prophecy of the sacred object, the horned snail.
After hearing that it was the horned snail, the council of elders quickly passed the news to the king, after which the group of elves were also accepted, allowing them to live in the city of the eternal tree and allow them to build their own houses.
However, the water-hidden people have become accustomed to life in the water. They want to build a new home in the Lake of Gwell, which is naturally allowed by the Council of Elders, because the Lake of Gwell was originally an idle place.
Ned and Lulu are together, they are busy rebuilding their homes, but Ned is thinking about Morrowind, she cares about the look in Akka's eyes when she leaves, she also cares about Morrowind with her , but she is an elf princess, Morrowind can see the elf king faster through her, and can unlock the seal faster.
In this way, although she was very unhappy, she didn't go to Morrowind. Although Ned was still young, he already knew a lot. She helped the Shuiyins build new homes. While busy, she gradually forgot Thinking about that, it was just the scene she saw in Eternal Tree City yesterday afternoon, which still made her heartache.
Shuiyin stayed in the ancient land of elves, and it was considered that Morrowind had fulfilled its promise to them. Although they could have received such treatment without Morrowind, they could not even come to the ancient land of elves without Morrowind. arrive.
The center of the Lake of Gwill is a large island, on which only a huge ancient tree grows, with towering branches and leaves that cover the sky, this is the eternal thing of the elves, the eternal ancient tree .
It's just that the eternal old tree looks sickly now, it's really hard to think that it's synonymous with life.
After Morrowind walked down the long stairs, he finally came here. Now, besides the Elf King and Akka, there are also several old elves who look very old. They are all dressed in magic. The teacher's robes are scholars who are dedicated to studying the eternal ancient tree, and they are all powerful magicians.
Even people who look very old are really old. These people are over 700 years old and have reached the lifespan of ordinary elves, but they are powerful magicians, although they are not as good as kings Blood elves, but can live to be more than a thousand years old.
"How's it going?" Morrowind asked as he approached.
Everyone said nothing, their eyes fixed on the ancient tree of eternity, for fear of missing a change, Morrowind saw the crystal bottle filled with the fountain of eternity in the hand of the elf king, which was now empty , they have used the fountain of eternity to the ancient tree of eternity.
Morrowind saw that at the root of the Eternal Tree, a radiant paste was being absorbed by the Eternal Tree, but until the mass was absorbed by the Eternal Tree, its appearance did not change at all. .
"How could this be?" An old elf panicked.
"The essence of divinity has been absorbed, why hasn't it changed." Another old elf also shouted strangely.
Thranduil didn't say a word, but the scowl on his brow was unmistakable. Years of research and experimentation had all failed because of the lack of the fountain of eternity. Rescue the eternal ancient tree, years of hard work, wasted in vain.
Although Akka didn't understand this, but looking at the reactions of his father and others, he knew that the Eternal Ancient Tree had not been rescued and was irreparably exhausted, and the elves were still facing the danger of extinction.
Morrowind walked to the Eternal Ancient Tree, stretched out his right hand that had recovered a little, and held the trunk. The Eternal Ancient Tree, which is known as the miracle of life in front of him, has not even returned to the Eternal Fountain. And the fountain of eternity, also known as the miracle of life, is completely exhausted in order to save it. The fountain of eternity has dried up, and the ancient tree of eternity will die. Even the two things in this world that are called eternity cannot escape the fate of disappearing. What can be eternal?
No one can give Morrowind the answer, he shook his head, maybe, even the gods can't be eternal, otherwise how could there be a twilight of the gods.
When Morrowind was about to take his hand away, the Eternal Ancient Tree shone brightly, the green light lit up, and a crack opened in the trunk of the Eternal Ancient Tree. For the Eternal Ancient Tree, it was a crack, but But enough to stuff one person in.
A hand-like branch stretched out from the trunk, and Morrowind was pulled into the crack, and then the crack was quickly closed, leaving behind a group of stunned old elves.
