Even though they had already seen the scene in front of them with the help of the Spy's Eye, they were still shocked when they actually came to this room full of hanging elves. The reason was none other than the thick smell of blood that lingered in the air, as well as the faint moaning and gasping sounds. These were things that the Spy's Eye could not sense.
Were there any elves still alive?
Under the king's instructions, the guards quickly launched a rescue operation, saving all the elves who had been hung up to bleed. He and the ministers followed the human Magician and Lich to the center of the blood pool.
Through the Spy's Eye, the images had to be processed before they could see things that did not originally exist in reality. However, most of the people present could see the kitten directly. Just like the image that a certain someone had brought back, the kitten floated in the blood-red pillar of light above the blood pool and was being tortured.
The young elven king wanted to rush in and save the World Tree's Spirit, but he was stopped by his ministers and Lin. What a joke, this was magic. How did it work? How big was its range? Without knowing anything, a rash move would not only put oneself in danger, but also implicate others.
The Lich was allowed to follow them into the World Tree so that she could understand the magic circle used to slay gods. Hence, everyone stepped back and allowed Fen to inspect the core of the magic array. Otherwise, at the beginning, some of the older elves did not want too many outsiders to enter the secret area of the kingdom.
She took out the green stone ball that she had prepared beforehand. This was an excellent material for psychic or necromancy magic. A certain someone suspected that this was some kind of jade from Earth. Unfortunately, he had no luck with this kind of luxury item before he transmigrated, so he could not recognize it. Fen, who was holding the stone ball, was about to start chanting, but she looked around and stopped, saying, "Save your people first and take them away from here. Otherwise, if I start casting the spell, I might hurt them too. "
Hearing this, a certain someone asked nervously, "Then what if we stay in here? There won't be a problem, right? "
"The circle you are standing in is the position of the person in charge of controlling this magic circle. As long as you stay in this area, you will be safe. However, if you are worried, you can also retreat outside. "
Hearing this, Ri Dan the Third sent away the guards behind him and sped up the process of saving the elves. This was because they had discovered that although some elves who had been hung up had already lost their lives, there were still some who were still breathing. After finding a way to treat them and recuperate, they should be able to recover.
Apart from the elven guards that were sent away, a few younger or lower-ranking ministers also helped or commanded the deployment. Lin also asked the two energetic magic apprentices to help. Compared to himself and the Lich beside him, the two young magic apprentices seemed less threatening, and it would be easier for the elves to accept their help.
In the end, only Lin, King Ridan III, Minister of War Maxim Stache, and one of the King's personal guards were left in the safe zone that Fen had specified. In fact, the young Elven King wanted to send this trusted aide away as well, but the Minister of War and his personal guard didn't agree, so the matter was left unsettled.
Unlike the elves who were worriedly looking at the kittens above the blood pool, the two magic apprentices were studying the magic circle under their feet. Lin Yi believed that everything was valuable and didn't look at the things under their feet with evil eyes.
After the analysis of the original magic circle, it was actually just like a program. It was a combination of different functions before it could be used. In other words, even if the magic circle's purpose and origin were evil, they could still find something valuable in it.
However, in the process of finding something valuable, there was a question that kept lingering in their minds. Seeing the constipated expression on Lin Yi's face, Fen asked, "What's troubling you? Why don't you ask me?"
"Do you remember how the elders used the plants at the beginning of the battle? Even Halloumi wouldn't have such a bad performance in a random forest, let alone three druid elders. This is also the territory of the World Tree, so it shouldn't be like this. So, I'm wondering if there's a way to suppress the World Tree's ability in this magic circle. "
"There's no need to look for it. This magic circle doesn't have the ability you're talking about."
"Then why?"
"Do you still remember what Wadwo told you about the war between the World Trees?"
"I do. Sending out warriors with items that can suppress the World Tree's power … Damn! You're talking about the World Tree seed that Walder gave us in our carriage! "
As soon as Lin Yi said that, the three elves beside him were dumbfounded. The World Tree seed was the rarest of all the materials with the World Tree as the prefix. There was nothing more precious than it. Because it was equivalent to a clone of the World Tree. It could sprout anywhere it was planted. As long as it had enough nutrients, it would grow into another World Tree in time.
However, it was not easy to form a living seed that could grow into a World Tree. At least in the history of the kingdom, their Majesty Lahti had never formed a flower or fruit, let alone a seed. The reason was unknown. But now it seemed that it was very likely related to the scene in front of them.
The only way to resist the power of a World Tree was to have another World Tree. However, a tree was a tree, after all. It was impossible for it to pull its roots out of the ground and run to another tree's territory to fight. Therefore, the war between the World Trees was more like a proxy war.
The warriors who went out wore all kinds of weapons and equipment made from the World Trees. They also carried items with considerable vitality to suppress the target and fight to their heart's content. If they won, they would chop the other party's World Tree into firewood, burn it to ashes, and bring it back to the heart of the tree. If they lost, they would retreat and lick their wounds, while also guarding against others taking advantage of the situation.
It was difficult to describe the use of all these strategies.
Among the many items that could suppress other World Trees, the most effective was the World Tree seed. To put it in a way that only people from the same hometown could understand, it was as if they were there in person.
However, it was not without risk to bring such a thing out. In addition to being robbed by jealous outsiders, there had even been cases in the history of the World Trees where the expeditionary army that carried the seed out collectively betrayed them and ran to another place to plant the seed, forming an elven tribe. Therefore, even the World Trees of other elven tribes rarely condensed a seed, let alone handed it over to an outsider.
When Dan the Third and Maxim Stache learned that a certain someone had a seed, they understood the knowledge that this man possessed and had a clearer understanding of the meaning of the World Trees. For His Majesty Vadwo to be willing to give him a seed, this favor was not ordinary.
At the same time, they felt a little lucky. If not for the suppression of the World Tree seed, perhaps today's civil war would have been very tragic, and their side might even have been the defeated side. The elves were all too aware of the power of the World Trees.
However, this was also a mistake. Under normal circumstances, if a certain someone came to visit with the seed of another World Tree, it would be very normal to be treated as an enemy. Who told you to suppress my boss to the point that he could not even let out a fart?
If you encountered a more savage one, killing and robbing was not impossible. The seed of the World Tree clone was not only an item that suppressed the other World Trees' power, but also a supplement on their path of advancement. It would be a lie to say that they were not jealous.
Ridan the Third began to understand why his aunt, Liana Titov, would often reveal a helpless expression when she talked about this group of people. He felt that he definitely had the same expression as that person now. He patted the human Mage's shoulder solemnly and said, "Mr. Tripwood, I think you'd better not tell anyone that you have that thing. I'll pretend that I didn't hear what you said today, okay? "
Seeing the elves' attitude, and thinking of the various functions of the World Tree seed, Lin hurriedly covered his mouth. He rolled his eyes and chuckled, before he said with the most clumsy acting skills, "What did I say? I didn't say anything, did I? "
Was he afraid that the thing would be stolen? Lin was not afraid of that at all. It must be noted that the seed was placed together with the "eggshell." The "eggshell" was the container that Fen had created to contain the indescribable thing.
The thing stored in the eggshell would constantly release pollutants, distorting items in the real world and making people insane. However, the thing released by the eggshell was a great supplement for the World Tree. Therefore, in order to delay the corrosion of the eggshell container, after obtaining the seed of the World Tree, it was usually unlocked and allowed the seed to absorb the pollutants it released.
But that didn't mean that the eggshell was harmless. Casually touching it would still make people have a mental breakdown. And this feature had instead become an excellent anti-theft method. Unless the thief was someone of the same level as Fen, it would be impossible for him to approach and steal all the valuable things normally.
And this approach would cause a little panic for the two apprentices at first. After all, no matter how the seed of the World Tree absorbed, it was inevitable that some aura would leak out. Gradually, they got used to the aura and enjoyed the benefits from it.
Apart from anything else, just the accumulation of power was enough. After the power was digitized, Lin had digitized everything around him and everything that could be digitized. There was also a set of formulas and judgment logic for what kind of talent and the growth of power after daily meditation. The intention was to help the two girls find the most correct and fastest way to accumulate power.
And after that aura of fear became a daily occurrence and they got used to it, the speed at which the girls accumulated power was 120% faster than before, more than twice as efficient. It would make their miserable magical talents a little less miserable …
Although it was only a little improvement in the eyes of outsiders, it was still gratifying. Unlike a certain person, the disturbance of that aura was completely useless to him.
Thinking of this, Lin sighed inwardly. At the same time, all the elves who were hung up in the room had been rescued. Everyone was outside in the corridor, confirming the physiological conditions of the rescued elves and treating them. Fen, on the other hand, picked up the emerald stone ball again and stood at the edge of the blood pool, chanting a language that was completely different from the "incantation." It was the voice of the dead, the whispers of the undead.
