Suddenly, a dull thunder sounded in the sky.
Urken and others raised their heads. In their eyes, the thick clouds above their heads were quickly dispersing, as if they were spontaneously dispersed to welcome some kind of existence. At the same time, a burning meteorite was Dragging a long red light strip across the sky, flying towards the distance.
The firelight of the falling meteorites was as dazzling as the sun, and there were more than one. The firelight brought by the continuous falling meteorites even turned the black clouds into dark gold. Lightning crisscrossed the sky, and the falling meteorites could still be vaguely seen not far away. That huge tornado column.
"The stone demon has also landed nearby, I need to speed up..."
After a moment of silence, Urken lowered his voice and said seriously to all the guards behind him: "You guys are here to keep an eye on the airship. If something unexpected happens, leave quickly. If you wait for the tornado to approach, you won't be able to leave." . . ”
"But sir, what about you?"
A guard standing at the back couldn't help but ask. He looked worried: "You can take us with you wherever you go. As long as it is to protect you, we are not afraid of any danger."
He said it so sincerely that even the other guards couldn't help but nod in agreement, but Urken shook his head: "This is not something you should know."
The red-haired elf's voice was cold, and he was not moved by the loyalty of his subordinates. He just gave a brief order: "Stay here and wait for me to come back. If you encounter danger, don't hesitate to retreat immediately. This is an order!"
The guards looked at each other. They did not understand the meaning of this order at all. However, due to the majesty of the commander for seventy years, they did not dare to disobey such a clear order. The leader of the guard looked at the serious eyes of the red-haired elf and only said: Neng gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"
After receiving a clear answer, Urken quickly walked towards the center of the ruins, while all the guards stayed there at a loss. If they did not protect the adult, they would not know the meaning of their existence. But faced with such a direct order from the adults they serve, they don't know how to disobey, and they can only fall into a dilemma.
After a while, Urken had arrived at the center of the city's ruins.
This is the capital of the last Elf Dynasty. Seventy years ago, the final battle between the Federation and the Dynasty started here. The fierceness of the battle surpassed all the battles in the past thousand years. The rebels fought for freedom and survival regardless of their own safety. The attack broke through the defense of the imperial army and entered the capital. However, when the palace defense line was about to be breached, the imperial family lit a fire that burned the city and burned everything.
In order to avoid the fire, the rebels had to temporarily leave the battlefield. Urken was at the forefront and did not withdraw immediately. He had to hide in a basement of the palace, and the fire caused The collapse of the building even buried it.
At that time, Urken believed that he was bound to die, but everything was worth it. The dynasty was overthrown, and his dream had been realized. Although the ending was somewhat unsatisfactory, he could still accept it, but he was not ready to die peacefully. At that time, a large opening suddenly opened in the basement. There was a natural underground crack big enough for one person to walk. Surprised, the red-haired elf naturally walked into it to see if he had any hope of survival.
At this moment, Urken, who had become the commander-in-chief of the Federation, once again returned to the basement.
In order to excavate the relics of the Elven Dynasty, after the war, the Federation conducted a collective excavation of the dynasty's capital, and the entrance to the basement was naturally excavated. However, under Urken's operation, no one discovered the natural crack. All this became a secret in his heart that only he knew.
Fragments of buildings and the remains of countless burnt objects were scattered around. He could see the blackened reliefs and broken statues. Among the ruins covered with traces of the former dynasty, he saw the excavated road. Out, the entrance to the small passage.
This is it.
Taking a deep breath, Urken walked into it step by step. He looked around the small basement and quickly found a place covered by a stone slab.
After struggling to move the stone slab away, the red-haired elf panted heavily, looked at the cracked hole that had not changed at all, and laughed at himself: "After so many years of pampering, my physical strength has actually deteriorated to this point."
But he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately entered the cave entrance, walking along the dry stone wall and walking downwards.
Along the way, there was darkness and silence, without any sound. The strong wind from the outside world, the roar of meteorites falling from the sky, and the shock of lightning streaking across the night sky had nothing to do with him. Everything was like a bottomless abyss. Urken was walking in the darkness. In the silence, it feels like being cut off from the rest of the world.
All of this is so terrifying. If ordinary people were in it, they would definitely be overwhelmed by the endless darkness and loneliness. The oppression caused by the narrow stone gaps is even worse than this. It is always scary. The moment the cracks close, he will be crushed into a piece of flesh.
But Urken's heart did not waver at all. Not to mention that he had walked through it once before and knew where the crack led to. Even if it was his first time here, the red-haired elf would not hesitate at all.
Because, behind him are the lives of tens of thousands of elves, the weight of a race, a country, and even a civilization.
And he carries all this on his shoulders. Although it is heavy, he will never be crushed.
A light appeared before his eyes.
After a long or not-so-long walk, a faint light appeared in the darkness in front of him. Urken felt a wave of excitement in his heart. He knew that he was about to arrive. The air underground was still fresh and not turbid. He took a big breath. Then, when he reached the end of the crack, the red-haired elf walked out quickly and came to an open platform.
suddenly see the light.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Urken couldn't help but squint his eyes to block the tears that almost overflowed, because the sight he hadn't seen for a long time still made him feel shocked and excited when he saw it for the second time.
A huge and majestic tree that seemed to support the sky and the earth appeared in front of the red-haired elf.
In the center of a huge underground cave that is so vast that you can't even see the end, there is a huge stone tree standing. It supports the underground world and is surrounded by green light. This stone tree seems to be breathing, driving it all the time. A fresh wind spread in all directions, and even at the edge of the underground cave, Urken felt an incomparably familiar, nostalgic, and cordial atmosphere.
Although the last elf dynasty tried every means to destroy all books and inheritance, and wanted to bring the past of the elves and itself into the grave of death, there are always some legends and myths in this world that can never be forgotten, just as After thousands of years, the inheritance of fire and steel still exists. In the memories of all elves, there is such a big tree.
A big tree that nurtures everything, represents the origin of elves, and ignites the fire of their civilization.
Tianyuan Sacred Tree.
