“I told you to stay in the Ancient Tree of Knowledge every day, but also said that when you’re free, that you should go out and have a look around. However, you didn’t listen.” Robert sighed.
This elf kid was good at everything except reading. He didn’t pay any attention to what was happening in the outside world.
“The reason why the nine great countries frequently come to our elf clan is not only to express their apologies to us for the incident with the Sky Eagle Empire, but also to learn about the mysterious necromancer.”
“Necromancer?” Chris’ gaze froze. “Why are they looking for necromancers?”
“To recruit them for their own use, of course.” Robert was speechless.
“Aren’t necromancers on the continent an existence that is spurned by others?”
Upon hearing Chris’ words, Robert shook his head. “Spurned? Bullsh*t. if they were spurned, the nine great empires wouldn’t have secretly nurtured so many of them. They are afraid that another necromancer like the Lich King will appear on the continent.”
When he said this, Robert smacked his lips.
“No matter what others say, that mysterious necromancer is the elven race’s savior. If there’s a chance, I’d like to thank him in person.”
However, he would never have thought that the necromancer who saved the Elven race from trouble was actually Chris, whom he had spent the last three months with.
“Let’s go. The queen seems to have something important to talk to you about. Don’t make her wait.”
Chris and Robert soon arrived at the Spring of Life.
“Aunt Miene, I heard from Mr. Robert that you have something important to talk to me about,” Chris said.
The Elf Queen nodded. “There is indeed something important I need to talk to you about. It has something to do with your Chimera.”
Then, the Elf Queen looked at the Chimera on Chris’ shoulder and asked, “Do you know about the Ancient Tree of life?”
Chris nodded. The Ancient Tree of Life was the core of Nightfall Forest. It was where the elves were born, and it was also where the spiritual queen passed down her heritage.
This was all detailed in the books in the Ancient Tree of Knowledge.
“You’re right. The Ancient Tree of Life is indeed the symbol of the elves, but it’s not as straightforward as it looks.”
At this point, Chris saw a hint of disappointment in the Elf Queen’s eyes.
Since the Ancient Tree of Life was such a sacred place, it should be an extremely glorious place. Why would Aunt Miene be so disappointed?
Did something happen to the Ancient Tree of Life?
That would explain why she was so emotional when she thought about it.
As he was thinking of this, the Elf Queen sighed and said, “Chris, bring the Chimera. Let’s go to the Ancient Tree of Life!”
“The Ancient Tree of Life? Now?” Chris was slightly stunned.
The Ancient Tree of Life was a place forbidden to the elves. Usually, the elves were not allowed to enter.
Only the Elf Queen had the right to enter the Holy Land to pray for the elves.
“Don’t you always complain about the Chimera’s low strength? The Ancient Tree of Life represents a way to make it grow quickly!”
As soon as the queen finished her words, Robert, who was standing at the side, was stunned. “My Queen, could it be that you want to…”
“That’s right. The Chimera is our elves’ Holy Beast, and represents the hope of our race, so I decided to give it a try.”
Robert looked at the elven queen’s determined gaze and wanted to say something, but he decided against it.
…
Soon, under the Elf Queen’s lead, the three of them arrived at the elven race’s Holy Land, the Ancient Tree of Life.
“This is the legendary Ancient Tree of Life?”
Even though he had made sufficient preparations before he came, Chris was still shocked when he saw the Ancient Tree of Life that blocked out the sky.
The Ancient Tree of Life was huge. Its branches covered the sky and the sun. If Chris had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that there would be such a huge tree in this world.
Its structure was very similar to the Ancient Tree of Knowledge. There were small houses on the tree trunks and stairs made of green vines. On some of the branches hung red items that looked like pendants.
If the Ancient Tree of Knowledge was a firefly, then the Ancient Tree of Life was like the bright moon in the sky. The difference was just too large.
Upon seeing Chris’ reaction, the Elf Queen was not surprised.
This is because when she first came to this place, she had the exact same reaction.
She looked up at the Ancient Tree of Life that made it seem as though the sky was falling, and said, “When I first came here, I had the same reaction as you. It was not until I became the Elf Queen that I truly realized that the Ancient Tree of Life’s magic was not as simple as it first appears.”
The Elven Queen turned to Chris. “Legend has it that the Ancient Tree of Life was a branch left behind in the human world when the world was destroyed.”
“I heard that the first god on the sacred continent was also born in the Ancient Tree of Life.”
“Aunt Miene told me this before. Could the god be the founder of the Elven Empire, the strongest elven king in history, Emperor Legolas?” Chris’ eyes lit up.
The Elf Queen looked at Chris in surprise and said, “It seems that you’ve read a lot of books in the Ancient Tree of knowledge over the past few years. Many adult elves don’t understand the history of the elven race as well as you do.
“Emperor Legolas founded the powerful elven empire and was once the ruler of this continent. At that time, the human race was just a small race under the protection of the elves.
“Who would have thought that in just a few hundred years, that the human race would become so powerful? The once arrogant elven empire fell apart and could only live in the fields and forests, their population constantly declining.
“A thousand years ago, the Elven Empire represented the main force in the battle against the Lich King Legion. During that war, most of the elven race’s elites warriors were sacrificed.
“The entire race of mountain giants left for the wilderness.
“Even the treant race, who at the time had the best relationship with the elves, entered the depths of the Magic Beast mountain range. Soon, throughout the huge elven empire, only our elven race was left.”
When she said this, Robert’s eyes became red, as if suddenly reminded of an ancient meeting. He said, “It was also because of that battle that the Ancient Tree of Life’s power was exhausted. If not for that, the druid warrior’s inheritance would not have been cut off.
“The Ancient Tree of Life is connected to the fate of our elven race. If not for its current weak aura, our elven race wouldn’t have had any reproductive difficulties and our talent would have declined with each passing generation.
“If this continues, then sooner or later, our elven race will be like the other great ancient races, doomed to be just another group in the Holy Continent.”
“Look at me. I was so focused on talking about this that I almost forgot about the primary task.”
The Elf Queen, who had gradually regained her senses, recovered from her sadness. “The Two-Headed Saint Chimera has once again descended upon our elven race. Perhaps it is a gift from the Forest God to protect the rise of our elven race.”
