Next, Melody used the powerful ability of the Ring of Air, Vilya, to quietly contact the City of Dawn. Naturally, she wanted to ask old Sindalor about Treebeard. But strangely enough, old Sindalor fell silent when he heard the name Treebeard. No matter how Melody asked, he did not say anything.
But after a while, she suddenly waved to Sheyan and asked him to come over. She said that old Sindalor's nephew, Mr. Ferrell, had something to ask.
Sheyan held Melody in his arms, then pressed his finger on the disguised Ring of Air. This allowed him to communicate with Ferrell telepathically. Ferrell, the treant warrior, asked curiously.
"Why did you suddenly think of asking about Treebeard? This is a taboo topic for uncle. "
Sheyan asked curiously.
"Why?"
Ferrell seemed to be in a difficult position.
"If uncle finds out that I've revealed his secret, then I'll end up in a very miserable state.... Okay, okay, Lady Melody, please don't be angry. I'll tell you the truth. Well, I'll have to start from the beginning."
Mr. Ferrell lowered his voice.
"Treebeard is one of the three surviving primitive Ents. The other two are Foliage and Barkbark. Treebeard is the leader of the Ents and the master of Fangorn Forest. In his long life, he has visited many forests, including the Bellan Forest, which later sank to the bottom of the sea. During his long years of wandering, he met a very elegant and beautiful girl. Her name is Fimbrethil.... "
When Melody heard this, she asked curiously.
"Sir Vilya can't support this kind of communication for a long time yet. Please save your time. It's rude to say this, but what does this have to do with old Sindalor?"
Mr. Ferrell sighed. He used a very concise statement to present the truth before everyone.
"Aunt Fimbrethil was uncle's first love."
"...."
"...."
Everyone was speechless. They never thought that such a strange thing would happen. The hatred of having his wife stolen!!
Mr. Ferrell continued.
"Later, Aunt Fimbrethill and Treebeard had a conflict. She went to the other side of the Anduin River to plant saplings. As a result, Sauron's evil flames covered the area and Aunt Fimbrethill disappeared."
"I see." Sheyan murmured, "Then, do you have any suggestions for us? Mr. Ferrell, we've received information that Treebeard will bear Golden Fruits soon. Our goal is to get the fruit. "
Ferrell was dumbfounded for a long time before he said in shock, "That's right.
"Treebeard bore Golden Fruits? How is this possible? "
After Ferrell's explanation, everyone realized that the Golden Fruit was a sign of transformation for the Treants. It was similar to passing through a tribulation. It was equivalent to refining and condensing one's most fundamental energy. Under normal circumstances, the Golden Fruits would be reabsorbed by the Treants.
Another situation was that some powerful Treants would use their final essence to produce Golden Fruits after suffering a fatal injury. This was similar to the continuation of their own life. It was worth mentioning that the seeds of the Golden Tree used by Elrond belonged to this category. The quality of the seeds was far inferior to the Golden Fruit in the first case.
When Mr. Ferrell heard that Party Ace intended to go for the Golden Fruits, he immediately became excited and strongly requested to join them! Even a blind man would know that he coveted the Golden Fruits.... But it should be noted that Ferrell was a very rare existence among the Treants. He had previously demonstrated his ability to separate himself from the tree in the form of a spirit and directly invade other ordinary trees to transform into an Treant.
The advantages of this ability were very obvious. Even if the invaded tree was destroyed, the spirit would only suffer a great loss. However, the disadvantages were also very direct. When Ferrell faced Treants of the same age as him, he would often be at an absolute disadvantage.
Since Ferrell volunteered to come, Party Ace naturally had to wait for this strong reinforcement to arrive. As long as Ferrell was willing to sacrifice a little Spiritual Energy Value, he would be able to travel through the forest at an incredible speed in his "spirit" state (similar to Mokuton). Therefore, Party Ace only needed to wait for him for a little more than ten hours.
While they were waiting, Party Ace also had other things to do. The hidden main mission they triggered was to choose one of the two options: "Saruman's Ambition or Isengard's Hidden Danger".
After some investigation, Party Ace found that Saruman's Ambition should be related to the Rohan Kingdom. If he chose this route, he would have to go to Edoras, the capital of Rohan. There, he would meet up with another powerful subordinate of Saruman, Grima Wormtongue, and assassinate Saruman's political enemies. This would remove all obstacles for Saruman to rule the entire Rohan.
"Isengard's Hidden Danger" listed several major forces around Isengard that might threaten the city, hoping that Party Ace could weaken them. Among these potential forces, there were the water monsters of the Isen River, the bandit force of Dunland, and the Treants of Fangorn Forest.
Since that was the case, Party Ace decisively chose the hidden main mission: "Isengard's Hidden Danger". They immediately received a notification from the nightmare imprint:
[You have received the hidden main mission: "Isengard's Hidden Danger".]
[Difficulty: Unable to assess]
[Completion time limit: 20 days]
[Mission introduction: Since you have chosen the hidden force, Saruman, you should serve this force.]
[Mission objective: Within 20 days, weaken the forces that can threaten Isengard and obtain any one of the mission items: the black dorsal fin of the water monster, the golden tooth of the Dunland people, or the broken heart of the Treants.]
[Mission hint: The drop rate of the mission items is not high. You have to hurry.]
[If you fail the main mission: You will be immediately sent back to the nightmare realm and 100,000 utility points will be deducted.]
*****
[You have received the hidden side mission: "Saruman's Request".]
[Difficulty: Unable to assess]
[Completion time limit: 9 days]
[Mission introduction: Seize the Golden Fruit before Treebeard's Golden Fruit ripens and greatly weaken Treebeard's power.]
[Mission objective: Seize the Golden Fruit.]
[Mission hint: Although the Treants love peace and have a gentle nature, once they know your purpose, they are likely to immediately transform into creatures more ferocious than the Nazgûl.]
[If you fail the main mission: You will be forcibly deprived of a part of the relevant abilities you have obtained.]
*****
Fourteen hours later, Party Ace met up with Mr. Ferrell on top of the beautiful Isen River Dam. Melody had already selected a large black maple tree for him to parasitize. The branches of the maple tree were upright and strong, as if they were carved out of steel. It was full of exuberant vitality, and even the branches and leaves had a kind of unyielding stubbornness.
Mr. Ferrell plunged into the trunk and spent a lot of effort to expel the original will of the tree. He shook the trunk and let the roots of the tree grow legs with magic power, turning it into a large walking Treant.
This time, Mr. Ferrell had a circle of black vines wrapped around the neck of the Treant. It looked like a black scarf, but it was a very deadly weapon for the enemy. Mr. Ferrell could skillfully use the vines to entangle the opponent, then use the sharp poisonous branches to stab at the opponent.
Under the leadership of Mr. Ferrell, they nimbly traversed through the dense forest that no one had ever entered before. The Treants were known as the masters of the forest, and this was definitely not a casual statement. Their journey was completely unhindered. Fierce beasts, crazy insects, poisonous vines.... none of these appeared in their lives. After walking for about five or six hours, their strange combination climbed up a ridge. Mr. Ferrell caught a gust of wind in the air with his arm and sniffed deeply.
"Let's rest here. The Fangorn Forest is just ahead. There may be a heavy rain later. It's not a good idea to enter the Fangorn Forest in the dark and wind, especially when we don't have good intentions."
Party Ace had already purchased all kinds of things in Isengard. Camping tents and the like were quickly set up. It was worth mentioning that they even got five powerful magic arrows from Mr. Gansdore.
These five magic arrows were made with a mixture of flaming iron. The seemingly curved scratches on the arrow shafts seemed useless, but if you used your MP to penetrate them, you could feel a magma-like magic power slowly flowing through them, causing an indescribable scorching sensation to surge all over your body. Once the arrow hit the target, it would explode violently and ignite the enemy into a blazing fireball at the fastest speed.
Obviously, these five magic arrows were a considerable threat to the Treants who were afraid of fire.
After all the camping matters were settled, the sky quickly darkened. Party Ace looked at the forest in the distance. The green waves were surging and the mountains were stacked on top of each other.
He could not help muttering to himself, "Is that the Fangorn Forest of the Treants? It doesn't look like anything special. "
Mr. Ferrell walked up to him with heavy steps and said in a muffled voice, "If you think so, then you're wrong.
"If that's what you think, then you're wrong. Look at the forest over there, and then look at the Tribute Forest. Take a closer look! " If you like this work, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation. "
