GOR Chapter 76: Him Again?
(Everyone, please help me count the votes ~)
The Fountain of Life. Within the Treant Clan, it had an ancient name passed down from generation to generation:
The Fountain of Youth.
This fountain was said to be the foundation of the Treant Clan's inheritance. According to the ancient legend of the Treant Tribe, a long, long time ago, when there were no Treants in this world, a big tree grew next to the spring. The roots of the big tree absorbed the water from the magical spring, and then … the big tree came to life and became the first Treant in this world. It was the ancestor of all the Treant Tribe.
After that, the ancestor of the only Treant Clan in this world felt very lonely and had no companions. Thus, the God of Heaven took pity on it and gave it a 'Nature's Horn'. By blowing this horn, it could awaken the other trees.
After that, the Treant Clan was born.
The biggest function of this Fountain of Youth was to allow the Treant Clan to continue living. You need to know that the awakening of a Treant was a long process. Every Treant was awakened by the Horn. In the beginning, they were just 'companions' who had no self-awareness. They were just a pile of wood that could move and walk. In order to form self-awareness, they needed a long period of time … not just a few years or a dozen years! Rather, they needed at least a hundred years or even more!
The problem was, most trees only had a lifespan of around a hundred years. As for small saplings, they needed tens of years to grow into big trees. After that, they would awaken to become 'companions'. At that time, their lifespan would only have a few tens of years left.
However, from the 'companions' class to the real 'Treant' class, they would need at least a hundred years! Most trees did not have that kind of lifespan. Before they could form self-awareness, they would have died of old age.
Thus, this Fountain of Youth was especially important to the Treants! All Treants only needed to come to the fountain and use their roots to absorb a little of the fountain water to become immortal. Living for one or two thousand years would not be an issue.
Hearing that, Du Wei could not help but raise another question. "If you can live for a long time just by absorbing a little of the fountain water … then, before the appearance of the Evil Eye Tyrant, how could there only be three to five of the real Treant Clan left? Theoretically speaking, all the 'companions' could absorb the fountain water and have a long lifespan while waiting for their self-awareness to slowly form. "
Wood heaved a long sigh. The last treeman in the world said in a low and helpless tone, "Because … spring water … is … very … rare …"
After some explanation, Du Wei understood.
This spring water was really … small.
In other words, compared to the Treant's enormous body, one spring was far from enough. The amount of water that gushed out was far from enough for the treant's enormous body to enjoy. It was pitifully small.
According to Wood's description, the spring was about the size of a tree trunk. No one knew where the spring came from. Sometimes, this spring would even dry up. Once it dried up, it would last for several years before water would slowly flow out again.
Sometimes there is, sometimes it dries up. Such an unstable state … in addition to the fact that a single Treant would have to use up a large amount of spring water … such a state greatly affected the inheritance of the Treants. The reproduction and population of this race had always been very small.
In Wood's description, Du Wei accidentally found one thing … It could be said that Wood was too kind or simple-minded. In short, before the appearance of the Evil Eye Tyrant, the canyon was still under the control of the Treants. The Treants had never thought of having this spring water by themselves.
They naively thought that this was a gift from the heavens and the gods. Therefore, they were willing to share this spring water with the other magical beasts in the forest.
This caused the already rare spring water to become even rarer!
Unfortunately, the longevity effect of this Fountain of Youth only seemed to be effective on the Treants. Other magical beasts who drank the spring water here would not have any obvious effect on their lifespan. But … there was something else magical about it.
First of all, no matter how serious the injuries were, even if they were in a state of near death, as long as they drank a mouthful of this spring water, they would immediately come back to life!
This was enough to make Du Wei's eyes shine.
Second, this spring water seemed to have the effect of "stimulating magic" for magical beasts! Some magical beasts who drank the spring water would have some changes. Simply put, it was "advancement"!
This concept was a bit vague. Du Wei asked Old Wood a few more questions. Old Wood's slow speech was also not clear.
However, it mentioned an example that Duwei was very interested in.
When Old Wood was young (God knows how old he was when he was "young"), the kind and docile Treants lived in harmony with the magical beasts around them. He once had a friend who was an adult Ice Demon Wolf. After that Ice Demon Wolf drank a bit of the spring water, it immediately evolved! An Ice Fiend Wolf that was only slightly below average had evolved into a high-level "Storm Wolf King"!
According to the rough classification of the magical beasts that the Sorcerers Guild had made, the Storm Wolf King was the final evolution of the Ice Demon Wolf! The Storm Wolf King was a real high-level magical beast. Not only did it have all the abilities of a normal Ice Demon Wolf, it was also stronger, smarter, and more intelligent … At the same time, it had a special ability: Summon!
A Storm Wolf King's Summoning Technique could, according to the size of the area covered by the magic, summon all the magical beasts in the area … Note, it was all magical beasts of a lower level than the Wolf King. They would become the Wolf King's subordinates and listen to its commands! In other words, this was a type of "Ultimate Summoning Technique"! When an adult Wolf King summoned, all the magical beasts within the area covered by the magic, no matter if they were wolves, tigers, leopards, or other magical beasts, as long as they were of a lower level than the Wolf King, they would become its subordinates!
"This is basically equivalent to an army of magical beasts …" Du Wei sighed.
However, this example also showed … the miraculous power of the Fountain of Youth!!
This made Du Wei's eyes shine even brighter!!
There was something that made Du Wei even more surprised!
This spring water even had a miraculous effect on humans!
Old Wood said something that made people surprised. At the same time, it also explained why this Treant could speak the human language, and the common language of the Roland Empire!!
Old Wood could speak the human language … This was not something he was born with. Du Wei did not ask if the Treants had their own language, but at the very least, a tree could not be born with the ability to speak the human language.
Even if it was a human, learning a language had to be taught from infancy!
Old Wood's human language was taught to him by a human.
A long time ago … Du Wei could no longer guess Old Wood's age. In any case, when he said a long time ago, it should be at least a few hundred years ago.
Once upon a time, a powerful human expert had come here and stayed in this forest for a long time. He also made friends with the kind and docile Treant. Old Wood's human language was taught to him by that human. In return for their friendship, Old Wood brought that human to the Fountain of Youth! He let that human taste the miraculous spring water!!
"And then?" Du Wei's heart moved, "That human was your friend? Who is he? Do you know his name? "
Du Wei believed that a human who could reach the depths of the Frozen Forest was definitely a one in ten thousand strong expert! Without enough strength, it was absolutely impossible to reach this place!
"… Let me … think …" Old Greenwood thought for a long time, and then replied with some regret: "It's been … too long … I … already … forgot … his … name … but … I … know … that … he … is … a … human emperor. Oh … that's right … it's … 'emperor'. This … word … I … remember … "
Old Wood was happy that he did not forget this name. Du Wei's inner shock could not be described with words!
A human emperor! A long, long time ago! A powerhouse who could reach the depths of the Frozen Forest!!
In the history of the Roland Continent for thousands of years, the only person who could be regarded as a powerhouse with the identity of an emperor was … only one person!
Aragon Roland!!!
Du Wei could not help but sigh.
Why … Why did it seem like every bizarre and legendary event that he encountered was related to that peerless expert?!?!?
After calculating for a bit, he basically got all the information he could get … Du Wei thought of this and could not help but feel a little guilty.
The Treant Tribe was indeed kind and docile. Old Wood's mind was simple and his temperament could be considered docile. He did not need Du Wei to get information from him and told him everything that Du Wei wanted to know … On one hand, Du Wei sighed at the naivety of these Treants. An existence like the Fountain of Youth would definitely arouse the greed of anyone who knew about it! But at the same time, he could not help but feel a strange feeling towards Old Wood's naivety.
"Respected Wood … Treant friend." Du Wei slightly bowed and then smiled, "I apologize for hurting your companions. Of course, we are also willing to compensate. How about this, my companions and I still have some good skills. I deeply sympathize with the Treant Tribe's plight. I'm willing to help you deal with the evil Evil Eye Tyrant in the canyon. Using this method to compensate for the conflict just now, what do you think of my suggestion? "
This time, it was Old Wood's turn to be worried.
This Treant said something that made Du Wei worried …
