Perhaps it was because Lu Heng was wearing the leaf from the ancient tree of life, every night elf who met him gave him a friendly smile. Seeing the attitude of these night elves, Lu Heng asked, “why is it said that night elves never let any other races enter the spirit forest?”
This was a pretty significant matter. Many adventurers had been driven away by sharp arrows when they had tried to step into the elven forest.
“Foreign race adventurers come to the Elven forest to look for rare herbs and other resources,” Campbell explained. The mother tree is too fragile now. It’s already difficult to maintain the forest as it is, we can’t afford outsiders plundering us on top of it. In order to protect the mother tree, we expel all those who try to take away something from the Elven forest. ”
“Is that why the white elves can’t use the power of nature?” Lu Heng kept feeling like there should be some other hidden reason why the white elves had abandoned the forest.
“No”. Campbell shook his head. “The white elves can no longer use the force of nature because they cut off their connection with the mother tree.”
Campbell paused and continued, “I was born in Moonlight City. There the newborn elves are taught about the mother tree with the phrase that the mother tree has been polluted and has become the source of evil. In order to avoid being tainted, the white elves had left the elven forest and established the moonlight city. I didn’t know that the white elves were cowards who had abandoned the mother tree until I listened to her call and renewed my connection with the mother tree. ”
Lu Heng wanted to dig for further information about the division of the elves from Campbell’s mouth, but he was interrupted by Annelin.
“Dear guests, please follow me to meet the mother tree.”
Lu Heng felt flummoxed from the sight that awaited him, because standing in the middle of the night elf land was a humongous tree that acted as a bridge between sky and the earth, which should be the ancient tree of life. He was curious about what the night elves meant by meeting the mother tree.
Soon, Lu Heng’s doubts were answered. Annelin led Lu Heng’s duo directly through the outer layer of the ancient tree. The trunk of the ancient tree was hollow, and it was like a totally different world. At the core, there was a clear spring. On top of the spring, there was an illusory image of a small green tree.
“Mother tree, the guests have arrived.” Annelin greeted the tree and then walked back down the road.
“Ionas, long time no see.” A soft voice sounded.
“Who are you?” Ionas frowned, feeling that the voice was familiar.
The gentle voice seemed to smile softly: “Ionas, you are still the same as before. You don’t care about anything except sleeping. I was surprised that you would come out of your lair. I’m Cecilia. ”
Cecilia, the goddess of life. In addition to the Dragon God Ionas, there seemed to be other gods on this continent. It’s just how did the goddess of life come out here and continue to exist in this form? Lu Heng’s mind was full of questions.
“The dragon will not leave his mate.” Ionas pulled Lu Heng’s hand.
“Ah.” The voice sounded a little surprised. “You have my blessing.”
“Thank you.” Ionas raised his head and nodded, “if you permit me to compose a hymn about you with him every day that would be better.”
“Huh?” Cecilia didn’t understand what he was talking about.
Lu Heng was embarrassed. How could this dragon still remember the long poem about ‘composing the hymn of life’ sung by the minstrel at the beginning, despite knowing the real meaning of it. 1
“IO!” Lu Heng chided the unreliable dragon with a whisper.
