Although the conversation between He Yan and the Elf Queen can be called brief, the amount of information contained in it is enormous.
The first thing is the identity of the elf mother tree.
— The elf mother tree is actually a degenerated low-level god.
The time when it came to the continent of Deland dates back to before Eros, the god of love and lust. It was only because of the damaged godhead that it has been hidden in the depths of the Forest of Eternal Night, and it has not spread faith on the continent of Deland.
However, the injury suffered by this god was too serious. Even after many years of cultivation, the injury still did not recover. In the end, the godhead degenerated into the heart of an elf. Trees of strength.
And even if the god degenerates, the remaining power in his body is far from what other creatures on the continent of Deland can match.
This residual power belonging to the gods quickly transformed the surrounding environment, creating a hotbed for the birth of a new race.
After hundreds of years of gestation, the first green symbiotic creature was born on the remnant of the god. It had the same appearance as the god, and inherited the last part of the god's ability.
Since then, many similar creatures have been born from the remains of the gods. They all inherited the appearance characteristics of the gods when they were not degraded. the power of.
Later, people discovered this new race by accident, and called them "elven race", and the first born elf was called the elf queen.
From then on, there is no such low-level god in the world, only an elf heart buried in the elf mother tree, and a group of newborn elves who hide from the world.
Later, the Goddess of Light came to the continent of Deland, and at the same time expelled all the low-level gods here, she also discovered the existence of the heart of the elves.
The degeneration of a god is irreversible, not to mention that this degenerated god has used his own power to support a group of creatures. The power has been split into pieces, and it can't make a difference at all.
Therefore, the Goddess of Light did not exterminate the elf mother tree, but made a deal with it.
In the plane of gods, it is well known that the Goddess of Light and the God of Darkness do not like each other, but few people know that because of the connection between the origins, they are also interdependent.
Just as the God of Darkness will generate a power of light in his body every once in a while, for the Goddess of Light, whenever the power of light in his body reaches a critical point, a subtle power of darkness will also be generated in the godhead.
Not much, but very annoying, if left untreated, it will start to destroy the godhead from the inside out, so every time the goddess of light can only choose to expend a lot of energy to forcibly remove them from the godhead.
This method is stupid and troublesome, but it is related to the most original godhead, and the goddess of light will never feel at ease to seek help from other gods.
The appearance of the elf mother tree was undoubtedly a surprise for her.
Before the elf mother tree degenerated, it was once known as the "God of Purity". From this title, it can be seen that its power is to purify filth.
The attack power of this kind of power is very low, so it seems very weak, and the battlefield of the gods is cruel. The pure god was accidentally injured in a battle of gods, and finally walked on the road of degeneration.
However, for the Goddess of Light who is troubled by the power of darkness that appears from time to time in the godhead, this kind of power is something she can't ask for.
The most important thing is—even though the degenerated elf mother tree still has some divine power, it can no longer be compared with gods, so she doesn't have to worry about her godhead being tampered with by the elf mother tree.
She acquiesced that the elf mother tree and the groups it created would continue to stay on the continent of Deland. The price the elf mother tree had to pay for this was to purify the dark power in her godhead.
However, the Elven Mother Tree is no longer the "God of Purity" after all. After degenerating, its ability to purify is limited, and purifying the godhead of a high-level god is still a bit too heavy for it.
The filth that could not be completely eliminated accumulated in its body, and finally mixed with the power of breeding new life in it, producing strange offspring with evil appearance and habits.
Because those "filthy" were transformed from dark divine power after all, that's why the blood elves have the ability to approach the gods.
Nine hundred years ago, the Goddess of Light came to the continent of Deland and purified her godhead through the elf mother tree for the first time. Not long after, the elves gave birth to the first blood elf.
The blood elves have mutated dark divine power after being processed by the elf mother tree. It is conceivable that if their existence is known to the goddess of light who hates darkness, they will be killed immediately after birth.
But for the elf mother tree, the blood elf, like other elves, has been conceived in its body for countless years, and finally born from the source seed, connected with its blood, born from the source, and also belongs to his offspring.
So for nine hundred years, it has been using what little divine power it has left to carefully conceal the existence of the blood elves, and has been urging the elf queen to send the blood elves out of the group to prevent being discovered by the goddess of light who descends from time to time.
…
After talking about the cause and effect with the blood elf, He Yan finally held his slightly stiff face and said seriously: "Ambrose, to the elf mother tree, you will always be its child."
As for the blood of the blood elves containing the power of darkness being purified by the holy pool of elves, this is something that the elf mother tree itself cannot control.
The blood elf raised his hand and covered the back of his hand with his warm palm. There seemed to be a faint light in his blood-colored eyes, and he finally responded in a low voice, "Yes."
After removing the "Gift of Eros" from He Yan's body through the holy pool of elves, the two dared not delay any longer, and soon left the warm elves, put on heavy winter clothes, and walked into the snowstorm on the return journey .
They left for a whole day and night, and when the sun was about to set, they walked out of the Forest of Eternal Night through the thick snow.
The bishop and the paladins were obviously waiting anxiously in the camp. Seeing them from a distance, they immediately cheered and ran all the way to welcome them into the camp.
The head of the Holy Knights successfully brought back the news of the three escaped orcs.
When he and Son of Light found each other, their corpses had been devoured by the monsters until only bones remained, so unfortunately, they failed to obtain any useful information from the three orcs.
After another half month, they finally found the source of the magic energy mentioned in the information in an extremely hidden place outside the Forest of Eternal Night, and eliminated it smoothly.
With the orc patriarch who was imprisoned and unable to transform into a beast, they embarked on the road back to Shifer.
However, when they trekked for five full days and just arrived at the nearest big city, and were about to return directly to Shifer through the teleportation array here, they were stopped by King Delan's messenger.
This is a messenger who is extremely trusted by King Teresa. Ambrose has dealt with him a lot, and they are barely familiar with each other.
Ambrose signaled the paladins to wait there, took the Son of Light and the messenger into the nearest tavern, asked for a separate box, and set up an enchantment around it to prevent eavesdropping.
"Your Excellency, Commander of the Holy Knights," the messenger looked at the Holy Son of Light sitting beside him, and politely expressed his desire to ask Ambrose to leave temporarily: "Your Majesty has an urgent message for you."
However, Ambrose ignored his hint, tapped his knuckles lightly on the small tea table in front of him, made a dull sound, and said flatly, "Please speak up."
The situation was too urgent, and sooner or later he would not be able to hide it from the Holy Son of Light, so the messenger hesitated for a while, and whispered his mission.
"A bishop in the Central Vatican has been infected by demon energy, Your Excellency."
