The First Elder didn't say anything, but he was thinking about it in his heart. The name "Valhalla" came from an ancient legend. It was said that there was a fantasy kingdom in the Loop of Trade Winds, the resting place of the brave warriors. One of the most primitive Fire Seeds in the world of Wohnde was stored there.
As long as the Fire Seed was ignited, the order of the Kalanga Peninsula would be restored. It was possible that a vast land as vast as the Cruz Empire would be formed.
The druids of the Deadwood Council had been guarding this secret for generations. This was also why they wanted to enter the Loop of Trade Winds to find out the truth behind this strange atmospheric circulation phenomenon.
However, Valhalla was just like a legend. It was there, but also not there. Countless druids passed through the Loop of Trade Winds and entered the Kalanga Mountains, but they found nothing.
The only thing they found was the ruins near the center of the Loop of Trade Winds.
However, the Great Elder knew that Andrew and the others had only found the outer area of the ruins. The center of the Loop of Trade Winds was the center of the Loop of Trade Winds, and no one could pass through it.
"Mister Brendel, I'm sure Elder Graycrow has told you about the recent changes in the Loop of Trade Winds?" Graycrow looked up at Brendel and asked, "I'm sure Elder Graycrow has told you about it before coming here?"
Brando nodded. The changes in the Loop of Trade Winds were caused by the ebb and flow of the Mana Tide, so it was not something that happened recently.
"Actually, he did not tell us the truth. We're in a much bigger trouble than that," the Great Elder said slowly.
Brando did not say anything. He looked at the 17 druid elders. Including Gray Raven, there were 18 of them. They should be all the elders of the Loop of the Sky in this area, including the three Great Druids. He suddenly understood why they were gathered here.
The druids were in trouble, and it sounded like it was not a small problem. Otherwise, they would not have come to him.
However, he did not take the opportunity to ask for an exorbitant price. Instead, he nodded silently.
The Great Elder seemed to be satisfied with Brando's attitude. The young man's humility made the Great Elder believe that he was a human he could interact with. "The Loop of Trade Winds."
He quoted, "This atmospheric circulation starts at the eastern end of the Karanga Peninsula and surrounds the Karanga Mountains. It is the most spectacular natural phenomenon in the southern part of Wohnde. On a clear day, even in Tónigel and Vlada, you can see this white wall of clouds running from east to west, hanging upside down in the southern sky of Erouine."
"The Geography of Lantonilan, the work of Master Tulman —" Brando said, slightly surprised. He thought that these druids really didn't care about worldly affairs, but it seemed that they still had some contact with the civilized world, just not known to the world.
The Great Elder nodded. "The Ring of Skies is a loose organization. The druids have their own tasks and have been monitoring the movements of the Black Forest for a long time. And we, the Deadwood Council, have been guarding the secrets of the Loop of Trade Winds for generations. "
The Great Elder turned his head and looked through the canopy at the white wall of clouds in the south. The thick layer of clouds was tens of thousands of meters high and stretched endlessly from east to west. Some birds were flying in the sky with the cloud wall as the background, but they were so small that they looked like a few black dots.
"The Black Forest south of Tónigel has always been called the wilderness closest to civilization in the Ring of Skies. It is the most stable Black Forest around the world of Wohnde."
"Not to mention that the border of Tónigel is rarely attacked by monsters, even the areas deep in the forest border are rarely seen."
Brando listened to the Great Elder's description and nodded in agreement. The Great Elder was telling the truth. The Black Forest at the border of Tónigel was indeed known for its gentleness. Otherwise, the players of Erouine would not have ventured into the Black Forest from here for the first time.
And they would not have been able to complete the magnificent feat of going deep into the Kalanga Mountains so early.
"The reason is because of the Loop of Trade Winds, right?" The young lord asked.
Not only was the Grand Elder shocked by his words, but the other seventeen Druid Elders, including Gray Crow, couldn't help but look at him in disbelief.
"How do you know?"
"This time, we have been in the Black Forest for a month. We have encountered thunderstorms twice and snowfall once. Eleven days have been sunny and windy. Three days have been scorching hot like summer. The rest of the days have been cloudy." Brando ignored their surprise and continued to speak. "There have been a week when the day was less than six hours, and one day when there was no night."
"This is the Black Forest. The deeper you go into the forest, the more obvious the changes will be, and the more abnormal the phenomena will be."
"But in this ever-changing wilderness, there is a huge atmospheric circulation that has never changed. The trade winds arrive at the Kalanga Peninsula every year, accompanied by abundant rain. Does this mean that there is a hidden order?"
He looked at the Great Elder.
Clang! The Great Elder's cane fell to the ground, but he did not bend down to pick it up. Instead, he looked at Brando with a complicated expression. "… You do know this place very well."
"Yes, it is as you have guessed." The Great Elder paused for a moment before continuing Brando's words. "We have discovered that the Loop of Trade Winds has stabilized the order of this region more than a hundred years ago. But recently, this situation has changed. "
"What happened?" Brando asked.
"Something strange has happened in the Loop of Trade Winds, Mister Brando. The area that we could enter easily in the past has become dangerous. The forest is full of dangers, and the ancient trees no longer provide us with guidance. In there … in there … "The Great Elder seemed to be searching for a suitable description." It is like being shrouded in a thick layer of fog. Nothing can be seen or heard. "
"Is that all?"
"No. Since a few weeks ago, those who entered the forest were attacked. Some were injured, but fortunately, no one died."
Brando asked after hearing the Great Elder's explanation. "So you are worried that this is a sign. The power of the Loop of Trade Winds is gradually weakening, and it could be destroyed in an instant. Once the Loop of Trade Winds collapses, the factor that stabilizes the Karanga Peninsula will no longer exist. The violent mana brought by the Great Tide will corrode this region, and even Trentheim will be affected. The original Guarded Land will be reduced to nothing? "
Brando's words hit the nail on the head. The Great Elder nodded with a heavy expression.
Their worries were not unfounded. The Kingdom of Erouine did not have the strength to defend the South, and once the Kalanga Peninsula was destroyed, Tónigel and even the entire Randner region would fall back into the wilderness.
"Your guess is correct. There is such a possibility." Brando thought for a moment and replied, "But this problem is not unsolvable."
"There is a way?" Andrew blurted out. The elders had discussed this matter for half a month without any results. How did this young man solve the problem with just a few words?
He could not help but look at Brendel, wondering if he was just boasting.
"I am also curious," Brando replied, "Since you know about the Great Tide, how can you not know about the connection between the two?"
"You mean …" The Great Elder was shocked, "The weakening of the Loop of Trade Winds is caused by the Great Tide?"
"Isn't it obvious that the enemy is strong, and we are weak?"
"But wait, Mister Brando! The previous Great Tides only happened within the past hundred years. The Magic Moon did not have such a strong influence! "The Great Elder exclaimed in shock.
Brando slapped his forehead and suddenly realized where the problem was, "You don't know about the Millennium Tide?"
"What is that?"
"The Great Tide that occurs once every thousand years. The last Great Tide ended the Year of Chaos, and this Great Tide is coming soon. The Loop of Trade Winds is obviously affected by the Great Tide," Brando replied.
The Druids no longer doubted that the young Lord was boasting. Their expressions changed.
"I remember now," Andrew suddenly said, "My Lord, when we were in Abies, you told me that 'this era is coming to an end, and the Magic Moon is coming. The last Great Tide ended the Year of Chaos, and no one knows what will happen this time. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for you to suppress the growth of the Dark Forest. '"
The burly druid elder cried out in annoyance, "Aiya, damn it! I didn't notice it at that time. I thought you were just talking about the normal Great Tide of the Magic Moon! "
Brando looked at the dozen Druid Elders strangely. "But didn't you ask for the opinions of the other members of the Loop of the Sky? I remember that although your organization is scattered, you still have a headquarters in the Sacred Land. Isn't there a lot of documents from before the Great Tide? Don't tell me that no one knows about the Great Tide? "
"That's right," the Great Elder replied. He was not surprised that Brando knew about the secrets of the Druids. He guessed that the young man had some kind of relationship with the Druids. Otherwise, how could he know so much about them? "We Druids rely on the Wind of Trade Winds to transmit information. It takes at least one season for us to go back and forth. But the next season is spring, the season of the Goddess. By the time we receive a reply, it will be summer. "
"I see." Brando nodded.
"Alright," he said, "Let's get back to the topic. Let's see how we can solve this problem. If we have to wait until summer, I'm afraid I can't wait that long."
"Then, my Lord, do you have any ideas?" The Great Elder changed the way he addressed Brendel.
"Nothing," Brando replied. "We can only deal with the changes by sticking to the status quo."
"You mean …?"
"Valhalla."
