The Ancient Forest was a vast and boundless forest. Legend had it that when the world was first created, the Gods of Light and Darkness fought endlessly. Their blood mixed together and became the original source of life. Most of the source of life became the Goddess of Life, and the rest of it permeated the newly born earth and gave birth to the vast and lush forest. This was the big forest located in the southern part of the central region of the continent.
This forest was the Goddess of Life's favorite. For a long time, she lived here and lived with the many creatures she created. Until the Year of Destruction, the battle between the Gods of Light and Darkness finally ended in mutual destruction. The fall of the Great God caused the origin of the world to shake violently. The earth, water, wind, and fire materialized into all kinds of horrible monsters. They fought endlessly with the Gods, wreaking havoc on the earth and killing all living things. The Goddess of Life couldn't bear the suffering of the people she loved. She pulled out her sword, killed the monsters, divided the planes, and expelled the Gods. Finally, she finalized the rules of this world.
After that battle, she also exhausted her power and died. The great priesthood of "life" was still empty. Although there were many gods who took advantage of it, none of them dared to really inherit this priesthood. Legend had it that her will still remained in this forest, watching over the world she loved deeply. Once an overly powerful existence stepped into the Main Plane, it would anger her. The power of the Great Goddess would turn into an irresistible thunder and kill the trespasser on the spot.
At that time, the first God of Thunder thought that he was the most powerful among the Gods, and he monopolized the priesthoods of "Thunder" and "Destruction", so he should not be afraid of the Thunder of Destruction. So he swaggered into the Main Plane and wanted to rely on his innate advantage to monopolize this world.
The result?
Every time the sun went down, people could see a bright moon slowly crossing the sky. That was the remains of this unlucky guy.
Over the years, the number of powerful existences killed by the Thunder of Destruction had exceeded the number of fingers on two hands. And that vague rule of "not allowing overly powerful existences to step into the Main Plane" had finally become a rule that the powerful Gods and demons had to abide by.
At this point, even Demigods often had to make preparations to leave the Main Plane. This was because no one knew when the lightning that was hanging above their heads would strike down.
The gods who walked in the human world mostly used their doppelgangers. They didn't really descend to the Main Plane. They just made a copy of their will and added a shell that carried a little power to complete the so-called "God Descending to the World."
Gods who used their real bodies to walk in the human world would also have to temporarily turn the area they were in into a God Kingdom, separating it from the Main Plane. This would consume a lot of power, so even the strongest gods would not casually descend with their true bodies. They were even more unwilling to fight with others under such circumstances.
Imagine, if the temporary divine kingdom were to be broken during the battle, and "His" aura would leak out, the next moment, the lightning of destruction would most likely fall from the sky …
As long as he thought of this, no matter how angry he was, he would be able to suppress it.
As for those who really couldn't restrain themselves, what should they do?
It was nothing more than adding one more person to the killing list of the lightning of destruction.
"… Close your eyes and imagine the lightning of destruction crashing down and exploding the heads of the Gods who didn't abide by the rules. That scene is really awesome! The Goddess of Life is really powerful and domineering! " Sui Xiong finished this part of the story and couldn't help but praise. "If she were still alive, I would definitely give her a thumbs up and say, 'Girl, you are really a man!'"
Ray looked at the dark sky expressionlessly. After a while, he shook his head and sighed.
"What's wrong?"
"It seems that … the Goddess of Life is really dead," Ray said regretfully. "Otherwise, you would have been struck by lightning long ago!"
Sui Xiong choked, while Steele laughed out loud and rolled on the ground.
"Is it so funny?" Ray was a little puzzled.
"Uh? You don't like it? "Steele stopped immediately." If you don't like it, you should have said so earlier. It's very uncomfortable to roll on the ground. "
This time, it was Sui Xiong's turn to laugh.
Although the Ancient Forest was lush with trees, it was not a very dangerous place. This was the origin of the elves. According to legend, the Goddess of Life created the first intelligent creatures here — the High Elves. Although with the passage of time, the world changed, and the High Elves could hardly be seen in the human world, their descendants, many creatures named elves, still lived in this forest.
There were three kinds of common elves: the Tree Elves, the Wild Elves, and the Day Elves.
The characteristics of the Tree Elves were that they had leaf-like green hair. They were born with the ability to communicate with plants and use natural magic like the Druids. Although their bodies were a little slender and not strong enough, their magic ability was enough to survive.
The life span of the Tree Elves was about four or five hundred years, and they could be called the long-lived species. In addition, they were born good at casting magic, so the overall fighting power of this species was very high, and they were one of the few powerful forces on the whole continent. If they didn't naturally dislike leaving the Ancient Forest, perhaps they would have already established a huge empire.
The Wild Elves were the most common species of elves on the continent. Their bodies were similar to human beings, not slender at all, and even many of them were abnormally strong individuals. Many of them wore armor and held battle axes. Their physical characteristics were probably their pointed and slightly long ears, as well as their unusually soft hair.
The life cycle of the Wild Elves was a bit strange. In their childhood, youth, and middle age, they were not much different from human beings, except that they lived a little longer. But when they reached old age, they often had the strange phenomenon of "old but not dead". A Wild Elf might have white hair at the age of 80 or so, and could only do some light work, but he was likely to be like this until he was 180 years old … It was a long time, more than half of his life.
If there were also Wild Elves on the earth, and they formed a country, then the aging problem of this country must be very serious, so serious that the head of the country could not sleep at night.
The last common species of elves was the Day Elves. This kind of elves were tall and strong, and each of them was like a sculpture carefully carved by an artist. They could almost be regarded as a relatively perfect species, with no physical or intellectual defects, and the proportion of spellcasters was quite high. The only drawback was that it was difficult to reproduce — the Day Elves could not mix with any known race, and it was very rare for a Day Elf couple to have four or five children in their lifetime. In fact, most Day Elf families would only have no more than two children.
Scholars generally believed that the Day Elves were the direct descendants of the High Elves, and there were also evil sorcerers who captured the Day Elves and tried to extract the blood of the High Elves from them. However, the result was very tragic … Every Day Elf was the focus of the elven gods. Once someone attacked them, the elven gods would send a punisher in an instant. There had never been an exception.
In addition to these three major species, the elves also had many branches such as "Mountain Elves", "Sea Elves", "Underground Elves", "Moon Elves", and so on, but the number of these branches was very small, and it was not worth mentioning.
Walking in the Ancient Forest for less than a day, Sui Xiong and the others saw a village of Tree Elves.
It was a village built on the trees, and many tree houses formed this village in the air. If one did not look up, no one would think that there was a village hidden in the open space in the forest.
Sui Xiong and the others did not deliberately hide their whereabouts, so they met the village sentinel from far away. It was a middle-aged man wearing bark armor, carrying a longbow and holding a magic staff. The armor and weapons were shining with magic light, which was obviously not ordinary.
The enchantment technique of the Tree Elves was famous throughout the whole continent. Every year, many people would bring their beloved weapons to visit them in the Ancient Forest and ask them to enchant their weapons.
However, the enchantment technique of the Tree Elves had a very big limitation — the equipment they enchanted would recognize its owner, and other than the owner, even if others got it, they could only use it as ordinary equipment.
In contrast, the enchantment technique of the Tree Elves was more expensive and less effective, but it had no limitation, and anyone could use those enchanted equipment. Therefore, it was more popular than the enchantment technique of the Tree Elves.
Ray admired the enchantment technique of the Tree Elves very much. After they passed the interrogation and temporarily stayed in the village, he asked the hotel attendant if there was an enchantment master in the village, and he wanted to make some enchanted equipment.
"There is no enchantment master in this village, so we ask Master Trian, who lives nearby, to enchant our equipment." The hotel attendant Warren was a young man, and his movements were quite vigorous, which showed that he was good at martial arts. He had a good impression of Ray, who was obviously good at martial arts, and told him some important information. "Master Trian is a bit eccentric, and he doesn't like to see people. But he is actually very easy to get along with, and as long as you visit him with kindness, you will get good results. "
"Master Trian?" Ray thought for a while, and suddenly thought of a famous person, and asked in surprise, "Is his name Trian? Or is his surname Trian, and his name is something else? "
"I don't know, we only know that he is Master Trian," Warren said, "Master Trian is a very eccentric person, and he hasn't seen any visitors for almost 50 years. Even 50 years ago, when people in the village met him, they just said a few words to him … "
"Then what does he look like? Have you ever heard of his appearance? "
Warren carefully recalled for a while, and then said with uncertainty, "I think I have heard … that the master is very old, and his hair and beard are all white. He is wearing a black robe, and there is an obvious smell of medicine on him. He is not in good health, and he often coughs … That's about it. "
"So, besides enchantment, is this master also good at alchemy?"
Warren was stunned, and then asked in surprise, "How do you know? Is Master Trian very famous? "
Ray couldn't help laughing, "Of course, he is very famous! But no one knows that he lives in seclusion here. "
Now, he was completely sure about it.
He was really lucky to meet such a legendary person on this trip!
