Carroll followed Elder Sepphan to the area close to the World Tree. The deeper she went, the more Carroll could feel the breath of life from the entire forest.
The forest was connected as a whole with this giant ancient tree as the center, and the tranquil and peaceful atmosphere made Carroll feel very comfortable.
It's just that this atmosphere quickly dissipated after officially stepping into the area where the World Tree was located.
"How about the book "The History of the Kingdom of Pharos"?"
"It's useless, I remember that the brass dragon's lifespan is similar to the history of the birth of this human nation! He won't be interested in this book!"
"Then "How to Raise a Swamp Crocodile"? I remember this is a new work that a young elf brought back to the library."
"The guardian usually goes to the forest to hunt swamp crocodiles. It understands this creature better than humans... How to eat it, are there so many books in Elder Moloch's library?"
Carroll stepped into the core area closest to the World Tree, which was originally an extremely sacred place for the black wood elves.
But at this time, there were all kinds of scattered books on the ground piled up by a lot of fallen leaves, and these books piled up into a whole hill.
Several elf elders who are highly respected in the black wood elf family are reading through these piles of books.
"They are looking for books that will interest the guardian of the World Tree, the guardian's life is too long, and the knowledge he has accumulated is far more abundant than any elves and humans in the Blackwood Forest, even if we keep trying Talked to him on all kinds of topics, but it never caught his interest."
Elder Sephard, who was with Carroll, explained the scene, and he looked at the young human girl.
"Caroli, the priest of the holy tree Narushi... I also tried to tell the guardian what happened in the human world, but it didn't interest him."
"No need to worry, Elder Sephard. During this time, I followed my mother to Nolan to participate in the Universal Exposition. It was an exhibition that showcased the wisdom of the entire human civilization. I think what I saw at the exhibition can cause that Only brass dragons are interested."
Carrolle hid her thoughts in front of Elder Sephard very well, but the magic machinery that Carrolle saw at the World Exposition was enough to amaze many intelligent creatures.
But... an invention that truly amazed Caroline, and felt that "technology has changed human life" and "can only live more comfortably by climbing the technology tree", it is the chaotic demon. constructed magic web.
After she learned to use the magic net, she became addicted to this virtual world, because through this network, even though she was separated from her friends and fans by thousands of miles, she could still communicate with her and express her views and opinions. opinion.
"World's Fair... Nolan? That's a smart city indeed."
Elder Sepphan also seemed to be very familiar with Nolan, the neutral country established by the union of human spellcasters. He glanced at the fallen leaves that were gradually turning yellow around the World Tree.
"I won't stop you if you want to try it, but Caroline... The guardian infected with the disease is not as easy to communicate as it used to be, it is very violent at this time, once it enters the cave where it lives, even us There is no way to ensure your safety," Elder Sephard said.
"Miss... The task of appeasing the guardians is still left to the elders..."
Carroll's elf guard, Frey, took her hand. Frey had seen the brass dragon in its entirety. Although her personality was... abnormal, she could be a giant dragon... who wanted to take away a human's Life is still very simple.
"Elder Sepphan, if the Guardian's disease cannot be cured... what will happen in the end?"
Under the reminder of Elder Sepphan, Carroll hesitated at this moment. The roar of the brass dragon just now was enough to make Carroll deaf.
If she now faces the giant dragon in a state of "irritability", it is very likely that she will be swallowed directly by the other party before entering the Amway Magic Web.
"The holy tree is whining, and the disease the guardian has acquired has spread to the roots of the holy tree. If the guardian cannot cure this strange disease on his own..."
Elder Sephard said that he didn't dare to continue talking. This is why other elf elders would look for books that the brass dragon was interested in in the piles of books regardless of their image.
Could the tree of the world wither
Carroll still thought of this terrible result. She inexplicably remembered what her mother looked like when she sent her away, and uneasiness surrounded Carroll's heart.
Any catastrophe in the Blackwood Forest would deal a huge blow to her family's domain... at worst, decline.
"Please let me… give it a try."
Caroline put down the childish thought of "wanting to take a photo with the dragon and send it to the camp", and asked Elder Sephard seriously again.
Her elf guard, Frey, heard the resoluteness in Carroll's tone, and opened her mouth, but still didn't say the words of dissuasion.
"May the tree protect you, Carole..."
Elder Sepphan agreed to Caroline's request. Under his guidance, Caroline crossed the square in front of the World Tree and walked directly into this huge ancient tree.
When she walked into the trunk of the World Tree, it was like coming to another world. The temperature of the surrounding air was gradually rising, and the ground under Carolie's feet also turned from soil to gravel.
"Sephan... you shouldn't bother me at a time like this."
A dull sound resounded in the realm of the World Tree, which sounded unpleasant, like the sound of a hammer hitting an iron ingot.
The moment she heard this voice, Caroline slowly took a step back. A pair of pupils suddenly lit up in front of her eyes, and something golden-yellow was burning in them... One was huge enough to swallow Caroline in one bite. The giant dragon below slowly climbed out from the depths of the world tree.
As the dragon's sharp claws fell on the gravel on the ground, the surrounding temperature suddenly rose to an unbearable level for ordinary people.
When Caroline was stared at by the eyes of this giant dragon, she felt suffocated...
"Sacrificing a human won't allow me to focus on dispelling these hateful shadows, damn it!"
The dragon's voice was full of impatience. He shook his head. Just this tiny movement made Carroll feel that the whole world was shaking.
"Guardian of the World Tree, her visit is to share her knowledge with you..."
Elder Sepphan looked at the brass dragon worriedly. The scales on his body had begun to show signs of fading. This was a serious disease for a giant dragon. If he could not overcome this by himself. Illness, it is very likely that you will lose your mind.
"Share knowledge? A little human girl!?"
He bent down his huge dragon head and stared at Carole standing in front of him.
"Don't waste time... stop..."
Just as the brass dragon was about to order the black wood elf to take the human out of his habitat, a multitude of malicious whispers suddenly erupted in his mind.
"These shadows..."
The curse-like murmur had tormented the brass dragon for a week, and each time it came, his mind and body ached.
The brass dragon, who was in pain, started to slam the ground with his tail in order to vent, and the ground began to tremble. In front of the brass dragon, Caroline couldn't even maintain her balance and fell directly to the ground.
"Miss!"
Caroline's elf guard immediately helped Caroline, who was lying on the ground.
World Tree began to use its own power to suppress the shadow that was eroding the inhibition of the brass dragon. The roots were wrapped around the brass dragon, but it had no effect at all.
The brass dragon violently broke free from the roots that bound him, the originally golden scales were gradually corroded by gray, and the dim gray mist also overflowed on his body.
"Let the singers sing the psalm..."
Elder Sepphan saw this scene and immediately ordered other elves who stayed in the inner realm of the World Tree to suppress the rage of the brass dragon.
The "elven verse" handed down from generation to generation by the black wood elves has the ability to suppress the dragon's violent state...
But this time, when several elf girls with harps ran into the realm inside the World Tree, the violent brass dragon let out a terrifying roar again.
The dragon's roar resounded through the entire Blackwood Forest, and Caroline, who was in the center, could feel the sound waves that turned into substance...
After the dragon roar ended this time, the brass dragon bit his upper and lower jaws firmly, and his golden vertical pupils looked at Elder Sephard.
"Come on... tell me... something!" he said to Elder Sephard in a voice like a bell.
"Are you interested in the origin of the surnames of the Falosi nobles in the human kingdom?"
Elder Sepphan looked at the elf girls who were singing behind them. This time, the dragon roar had traumatized them, and it seemed that they could not finish the chant of the "Elf Psalm" in a short period of time.
Therefore, the elders of Sephard can only go into battle in person.
He understands... the shadows are eroding the brass dragon's consciousness, intent on taking his mind away.
If you want to overcome the "shadow", you can only think about it, and don't stop thinking for a moment.
"No... I'm not interested! Ah... Damn!"
The Brass Dragon, who was in a violent state, replied unceremoniously. The pain in his mind made him hit the ground again with his tail... A large amount of blood had overflowed from the clenched upper and lower jaws.
"Magic machinery invented by gnomes..."
"You told me yesterday! And I asked you to tell those dwarfs that what they invented will end up self-destructing."
This brass dragon seems to be a master craftsman of magic machinery, but the whispers in his mind that almost drive him crazy make him unable to concentrate at all.
He lost control of his body again, and an astonishing high temperature gathered in the jaws that were clenched.
If this giant dragon spit out its breath in such a small space, everyone present would not be able to survive!
"Frey!"
And under the chaos caused by the dragon, Caroline shouted the name of her elf guard, when Caroline saw the scarlet liquid overflowing from Frey's pointy ears.
Before the brass dragon roared, Frey covered Carroll's ears with her hands, but she directly endured the roar of a giant dragon.
Frey's ears could no longer hear the sound, and Carolle, who realized this, immediately opened the interface of the magic net and wrote a text.
"The original spar that recorded the movie fell over there! Find it and put magic power into it."
The original spar of the movie? She immediately looked in the direction Carroll was pointing, and soon saw the original spar that recorded "This Devil Is Not Too Cold".
Maybe Caroline fell out when she fell to the ground.
There are also several stones exuding high temperature around this original spar, which may be affected by the chaotic magic in the brass dragon.
Frey felt the temperature around her getting higher and higher, and soon understood that if she didn't do anything, both she and the master she served, Caroline, would be buried under the breath of this giant dragon...
At this moment, she showed the skills that the best young generation of black wood elves should have. In the blink of an eye, she crossed the sand and stone that exuded astonishing heat on the ground, and held the record. The original spar of "This Devil Is Not Too Cold".
"Get out of here!"
The Brass Dragon couldn't control the anger and killing intent in his heart, and a lot of negative emotions occupied his mind.
The hot flames have begun to gather in his throat, and the brass dragon reminded everyone present to leave this dangerous place with the only remaining reason.
But Elder Sepphan did not answer him. Another voice he had never heard before resounded in the field of the World Tree, a bass full of magnetism.
"How are you doing? Leon."
"fine."
"Very well, then let's talk business."
The Brass Dragon opened its golden vertical pupils and looked at the picture projected in the air...
Breathing stopped.
He was not attracted by the dialogue between the two humans, but his curiosity made him think about how this picture came to be!
Once he began to think, his reason began to be gradually retrieved, and at this time, the melodious and peaceful singing reverberated in the entire field of the World Tree.
Elder Sepphan listened to the sleepy singing, and subconsciously looked at the elf girls who were lying on the ground behind him, and found that the singing did not come from them.
Following the position where the singing sounded, Elder Sepphan looked at Caroline. He was surprised to find that the singing came from Caroline, and the human girl was not singing.
But this psalm, sung in the language of the elf, was indeed uttered by Carroll.
"The song that Miss Tailin published on the forum, the guardian of the world tree, are you interested in this?"
Caroline looked at the magic net terminal in front of her, and it was playing the only song of Frost Elf Taelin that was published on the caster forum. played out.
The "shadow" that had caused the dragon's pain gradually began to fade away as the soothing song of any creature's soul mingled with something enough to intrigue the brass dragon.
