In the endless dense forests of the far south, there is such a place that has been praised by countless people. It is adjacent to the Bondar Chong Mountain and is the origin and end of thousands of rivers. It is located in the mainland, but it is as wide as the ocean. Countless people have long been in the outside world. Extinct rare plants and animals live here just as they did in ancient times.
Its name is Eternal Lake - a natural holy land and the hometown of elves. With it as the center, hundreds of elven cities and villages spread like the roots of giant trees along the lakeside and rivers, spreading into the distance.
The blue, gem-like lake surface is rippling, and the waves are lapping along the coast. The end of the lake, which is as wide as the ocean, cannot be seen at a glance. Even if you look towards the edge of the horizon, you cannot determine its edge, but right in the center of this inland sea, you can I saw nine giant trees that support the sky and the earth, connecting the clouds and the earth like mountains. The branches of the mountain-like giant trees cover the sky, and the branches and leaves cover the sun. Its roots form nine huge wooden islands, rooted in the eternal lake. of the center.
Golden sunlight pours out from the gaps between the branches and leaves of the giant trees, and the faint beams of light shine on the lake and the wooden island. It can be vaguely seen that there are many other large and small trees around these nine giant trees. Trees and islands, although they are not as big as giant trees, they are several times taller than ordinary trees.
On the lake, the waves were turbulent, and boats belonging to the elves were traveling back and forth along the coast and between the islands, while an elven woman was walking along the shore of the Eternal Lake, watching this scene quietly.
This is a beautiful and very distinctive woman. She wears a close-fitting dark green robe. The skirt drags on the sand by the lake, but it is not stained with any dust. She does not have the femininity of ordinary elves due to their slender figure. In every move, there is a kind of temperament that is inclusive and carries all things.
As she walked, various extraordinary changes occurred along the shores of the Eternal Lake. New buds appeared on the vegetation, the sand turned into fragrant grass, and many animals and birds appeared in the coastal forest. They couldn't help but want to get close to each other. , but for some reason he didn't want to get close, and just watched quietly.
The teacher of nature, Gallan Nord is one of the rare people who walks between heaven and earth in human form. She stares at the center of the Eternal Lake, in the direction of the nine magnificent Mother Trees of Life. There is no trace of emotion in her green pupils, which makes people helpless. Guess what she was thinking about.
After a long time, she stopped and shook her head gently.
"world… "
This inexplicable sigh quickly disappeared in the wind by the lake, and Galan Nord did not say the second sentence, but not long after, she suddenly frowned slightly, raised her right hand, and pressed her index finger on her temple, the natural teacher He said softly: "Lex? What's going on?"
"Master Mentor, Earl Radcliffe has just arrived in Redwood City. He knew that you were walking by the lake and said that he did not intend to wait for you to come back, so he went to find you!"
In the mental communication, a male voice said in a rather helpless and anxious tone: "We can't stop each other..."
"Of course you can't stop it. Okay, it's okay. I already guessed that he would do this."
The natural teacher nodded slightly, and then she raised her head with feeling and looked at the sky not far away. Although there seemed to be nothing there, she could see that the birds that had gathered spontaneously due to the natural breath suddenly began to disperse, and On the ground, the beasts also began to commotion. They crowded and trampled on each other in panic, as if they couldn't wait to escape from here.
Seeing this scene, Garan Nord sighed and said softly: "And you reminded me too late."
"He has arrived."
After speaking, Galan Nord interrupted her mental communication, and a gentle translucent halo emerged from her body and spread in all directions. All the birds and beasts caught in the panic and commotion barely calmed down the moment they came into contact with the halo. Come down and start an orderly retreat, or stay in place and recover your body that was convulsed by fear without creating a bigger commotion.
The next moment, a black figure appeared out of thin air not far in front of her.
"It's a bit abrupt, Ms. Garanod, but I'm really not used to waiting for people."
Joshua, who controlled the electromagnetic floating flight and quickly found the natural mentor through the condensation of the abnormal natural atmosphere between heaven and earth, said this. He slowly walked towards Garan Nord, and then stood in front of the opponent. The warrior nodded slightly, which was regarded as After saying hello: "In addition, your men seem to want to hold a welcome ceremony. I don't like this kind of thing, so I left directly. I hope you don't mind."
"Although the welcome ceremony is not necessary, they just want to show their attitude of welcoming you. I hope you can understand their good intentions."
Garan Nord replied like this. She looked at the warrior in front of her, and then sighed softly: "I haven't seen you for a while, and I didn't expect that your strength has reached this level. It's hard to imagine that such a powerful force belongs to a newly advanced legend. A newcomer within a few years.”
"Occasional encounters."
Simply replying to the natural teacher's emotion, Joshua was also sizing up the natural teacher in front of him. With his eyesight that could see through the microscopic level, it would be difficult for even a legendary powerhouse not to be seen through by him.
But what Joshua saw made him slightly stunned... Because at this time, except for a large piece of fiber and leaves, Joshua saw nothing - the beautiful elf woman in front of him, from head to tail, even on her body The dark green floor-sweeping robe is actually made of plant fibers and specially structured leaves. Under the other party's skirt, it is not the legs of the elf, but countless tree roots wriggling like tentacles, which are rooted in the earth. , unable to see clearly where its origin comes from.
It's like a human form specially condensed for communication.
"Earl Radcliffe."
Just when Joshua blinked, the natural teacher shook his head and reminded: "This look is very rude, especially for a woman, please be careful."
"Sorry, I want to search for the original body out of habit..."
Subconsciously, he wanted to identify the enemy and look for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow. After reacting, Joshua noticed that his behavior was indeed a bit rude, so he coughed lightly, took a step back, and then continued: "To be honest, , I don’t like to beat around the bush, so I’ll put it bluntly—I specifically asked you, madam, to gather your avatar and invite me to come. There must be something important to negotiate. There is no one around now, can we start?”
"I really don't know if you are trying to change the subject, or if you really have this kind of personality."
The natural teacher smiled dumbly. She couldn't help but shake her head at Joshua's direct question: "This time, I intend to repay you for letting us see His Majesty (Father of Nature) again, plus your little friend. I happened to get married recently, so I took the opportunity to invite you to the Eternal Lake... According to the recent news, this gift may be just right for you."
"Maybe it's a bit abrupt, but you probably like this style."
Galan Nord was just chatting in a normal tone, but her actions in the next moment made everything no longer normal - the natural teacher stretched out her right hand, and a group of light green light began to gather in her hand, Qiao Xiu Yachu didn't take it seriously at first. After all, with his strength, most of the gifts were nothing. But after a moment, he noticed something unusual and immediately frowned and watched the other person's every move seriously.
"This is..." He whispered to himself softly, with a hint of surprise in his tone.
The natural teacher's actions were not affected by the warrior's surprise. He could see light green light coming from the woods and lakes in all directions, like countless fireflies gathering together. Joshua stared at this inconspicuous light, and from it he I felt an extremely familiar breath - the power of life. Not only that, this is the most primitive and essential life force.
The natural teacher smiled and stared at her right hand. The dark green dress on her body began to bloom from bottom to top. The light yellow flowers bloomed among the green leaves, and there was a flow of natural power visible to the naked eye.
And in the next moment, these natural forces completely gathered in the hands of the mentor, and the green light flashed. At this moment, the warrior seemed to see the ocean, where the initial life multiplied, and seaweed floated in the shallow sea, and then the sea turned into land. The land turned into mountains and rivers, and the inconspicuous microorganisms also changed rapidly with the environment - arthropods crawled on the beach, the ancestors of amphibians climbed out of the water for the first time, and the spores of primitive plants spread and multiplied in the drastic changes on the land. They experienced mountains and rivers It collapses into rift valleys, plains rise into plateaus, and finally, it culminates in patches of dense forest covering this ever-changing world.
All the illusions dissipated, and the light ball condensed in the hands of the natural teacher had been condensed to the extreme. Now, the light dissipated, and what appeared in Galan Nord's hand was an inconspicuous four-leaf clover wrapped in a water ball.
"Making life..."
Staring at this seemingly ordinary and delicate four-leaf clover, Joshua could sense the huge vitality contained in it. It is the vitality that can take root in any region and grow into a towering tree - thinking of this , the warrior suddenly raised his head and looked at the nine mountain-like giant trees in the center of the Eternal Lake. He couldn't help but be stunned: "Is it the Mother Tree of Life?"
"You created a seedling of the Mother Tree of Life out of thin air?"
"Yes, it is considered a gift. After all, you brought us the World Tree. In order to express our gratitude, the elves feel that they must give something valuable, otherwise they will not be able to express their gratitude."
"We have wanted to give you this gift for a long time, but because you are so elusive, we don't know when you will stay in Mycroft. It wasn't until today that we found the opportunity."
The natural teacher pushed with her right hand, and the four-leaf clover wrapped in water floated in front of Joshua. She said lightly: "Although some people didn't agree with it at first, they agreed in the end. "
"It's amazing. You've come a lot further than I have in this regard."
After receiving the sapling of the Mother Tree of Life, Joshua felt the majestic life energy in it and couldn't help but admired: "If you are inferior to others in terms of skills, you will be defeated."
"But I can't build a steel statue hundreds of meters high. Everyone has their own direction of mastery, right?"
Hearing a legend's heartfelt praise for herself, Garan Nord couldn't help but smile. Her green eyes were dancing with a little uncontrollable light of natural power. It could be seen that a sapling of the Mother Tree of Life was created out of thin air. It's not easy for her either. After recovering for a while, the natural teacher said jokingly: "I heard that you are copying the creations of various forces recently. Eagle was still wondering a while ago whether you stole the treasures in his bedroom, but I thought about it. I think I might as well give you a mother tree sapling, and if you want leaves from the tree of life in the future, just plant one yourself."
"I told you that the statue was an accident, and I'm not narcissistic."
Joshua clicked his tongue. His own statue was accidentally made when he was making statues for everyone in the lord's mansion, but he had no time to explain such a trivial matter. The warrior stared at the statue wrapped in a ball of water in his hand. Clover asked with great interest: "I will not refuse this gift - but are there any planting conditions?"
In history, it is not that there were people who wanted to steal the seedlings of the Elf Tree of Life. There were several times because of the negligence of the elves - or, in other words, deliberate attempts. A few people actually succeeded in stealing, but those who tried to plant them all had no idea. An unexpected failure. Although the seedlings they stole did not die, they could not grow up no matter what. In more than ten years, they only grew from a four-leaf clover to a bush, and were still far away from the giant tree in the sky. There is a distance of thousands of years.
"It's very simple. The mother tree of life cannot be planted in the soil. It must be directly immersed in vital water before its root system is fully developed."
Garan Nord tilted her head slightly and looked at the sparkling Lake of Eternity. She sighed softly: "It took the elves thousands of years to manage the Lake of Eternity to such an extent. Without the Lake of Eternity, the Mother Tree of Life would be nothing more. A nice-looking potted plant... Although the mother tree is meaningless, I have condensed my experience in making life into it, and I think it will be more helpful to you than a mother tree."
"The gift is very good, I like it very much, thank you."
Nodding solemnly to the natural teacher, Joshua expressed his gratitude. Of course, he also knew that the reason why the other party respected him so much was because of his strength. As for planting the Mother Tree of Life, he felt that it was not that troublesome.
Is it water rich in vitality? He happens to know such a good place, where it is wide, full of water, and rich in energy. The only troublesome thing is that this is not in Mycroft's world.
"It seems I have time to go back to the Blood Moon Abyss."
Joshua thought this way: "I think Xiaoguang's true form wouldn't mind having an extra tree to keep him company."
The Blood Moon Abyss is a world that has been destroyed, but it is not without its turning point. All the energy and vitality of the world of Hilleye have been condensed into the blood moon. As long as the blood moon turns into the sun and is reborn, the recovery of the world will only be a long process. .
If an elven mother tree of life is added to this long process, and after the mother tree grows to a certain level, the roots of the giant tree are used to fix the broken continents floating in mid-air, then the rebirth of the world will definitely be accelerated a lot. .
After making arrangements for the upcoming itinerary in his mind, Joshua raised his head again and looked at Master Nature, who was looking at him quietly. He nodded and said: "However, Master Nature, you must not only invite me here just to send you a gift." a tree."
"Now that we've finished chatting, can we get down to business?"
I stayed up late yesterday watching the DAC game and it was scary. Fortunately, LGD and VG won. I accidentally fell asleep. This is the first update from yesterday and the second update eight hours later.
