It was a misty morning in The Wind Forest.
In a luxurious hall, a middle-aged elf looked at Borg with a worried expression, and said, "Master Borg, Irina and those mysterious guys killed all of the mercenaries who were escorting the elves, and we lost over 100 slaves. Yesterday, Alex destroyed a mercenary group with an 8th-tier powerhouse in Chaos City. I'm afraid it's going to be even more difficult for us to get more slaves."
"Even though Alex has died once, he's still as annoying as he was back then." Borg's expression darkened as he sat on a tall chair. He crushed a cup in his hand, and said in a low voice, "Raise the bounty, and warn those guys not to sell the slaves to other places. If we find out, they'll pay a heavy price. Elves can only be sold to The Wind Forest. If anyone forgets, get someone to remind them."
"Yes." The elf's expression changed, and he bowed before quickly departing.
How long can the Tree of Life last? I'm really looking forward to that power. When that time comes, the entire The Wind Forest will have to crawl at my feet, including that noble queen. Borg raised his hand, and a ball of green flames danced in his palm. A series of greenish-black patterns spread down his arm, and reached his wrist.
"Alex, I'll kill you with my own hands!" Borg's eyes suddenly turned crimson, and the flickering shadows in the flames made him look like the shadow of a demon.
The cave where the Tree of Life was located was still covered by a pale green light curtain. The spring that usually gushed out the Spring of Life had completely dried up, and the surrounding trees had lost some of their green color. They no longer had the vitality of the past.
The elven holy land had become a forbidden area. Elves were told not to approach this place, or they would be punished. There were only two teams of elven guards patrolling the area.
After the elven queen went into seclusion, a series of changes occurred in the elven race. Princess Irina was stripped of her position as the princess, but her words were like a seed that had taken root in the hearts of the young elves.
During this period of time, many young masters and young ladies of noble families had been beaten and confined. Although the news that spread was that they had made small mistakes and were punished lightly, everyone knew in their hearts what the reason was.
Some changes that made the adults uneasy were happening, and it was the successor that they had painstakingly cultivated.
The cave of the Tree of Life was as quiet as ever. Without Firis, it was even quieter than before.
Irina was still sitting under the Tree of Life in a long white dress. Her eyes were closed, and she was in a state of meditation. A green beam of light rose from her body, and connected with the Tree of Life.
However, at this time, there were dark green cracks on the trunk of the Tree of Life. They spread from the roots and occupied almost half of the height. Traces of dark green aura were emitted from the cracks and continued to spread upward.
The tens of thousands of drooping tender green branches were now a little more yellow, no longer exuding vitality.
However, the Tree of Life's powerful life force and the green beam of light that Irina had injected into the Tree of Life were still resisting, and a balance was reached.
"Borg has indeed betrayed the God of Life and allied himself with the undead. How dare he touch the Tree of Life?" After a long while, Irina opened her eyes. The light on her body gradually faded. She needed a short rest to recover some of her spiritual power.
"Bean Sprout, I want a cup of …" Irina said casually, but then she suddenly stopped. She looked at the empty cave, and shook her head with a smile. The little guy that she had picked up when he was little, and had never left The Wind Forest until now, was probably in Chaos City right now. With Meg taking care of him, she was quite relieved.
Irina looked up at the Tree of Life, and sighed. "Hang in there, old friend. If you fall, the entire elven race will be finished. The God of Life won't protect the elves who have been tainted by the undead. You are the bottom line."
The withered yellow branch swayed slightly in response to Irina's words.
A smile appeared on Irina's face. She got up and walked around the cave before sitting down again. She closed her eyes, and softly said, "Rest for an hour, and then we'll continue to expel those undead auras. I've already found some tricks. Those guys are far more afraid of the holy light than the power of life …"
…
"That tree isn't producing water of life anymore. Isn't that hindering my farming?"
"I need a lot of rice of life every day. The current stock can only last for three months at most. A batch of early-maturing rice takes two months from planting to harvesting, so I have to get it to produce water again within a month."
"Those things are so annoying. If it weren't for the fact that the Heavenly Dao doesn't allow them to affect the normal development of the world, I would've destroyed them all with a beam of gamma rays so that they wouldn't affect my farming and earning money."
In the depths of Meg's mind, the system was mumbling to itself, but no one could hear it.
"Although I can't do it directly, it shouldn't be a problem to fertilize the tree, right?"
"As a Master Chef Cultivation System, my mission is to assist the host to become a successful Master Chef. If I can't guarantee the supply of the Rice of Life, the dish Yangzhou Fried Rice will be completely ruined. This is something that can never happen!"
"Yes, this is completely in line with the three laws of the system."
"Expelling the undead aura is not something a system can do. But now, let's analyze the composition of these guys. As long as they exist, they can be explained by science. If they can't be explained, then it must be because science isn't developed enough …"
…
Phyllis once again demonstrated her superb knife skills. The flying ingredients were quickly turned into spare ingredients of the same size with the help of the Chinese kitchen knife.
Meg didn't stay idle either. In addition to cutting the ingredients, he also had to prepare many ingredients himself, such as the sauce for the beef kebab and the marinating of the beef.
However, compared to usual, Meg's workload had been reduced by more than half, which made him very satisfied.
Not long after, Sally and Yabemiya also came to the restaurant.
