After combining the power of the deep sea and the magic of the trident, Reina could now easily turn magic into water. Although it couldn't be drunk, it was very convenient for bathing.
"Stop! What are you doing!! "
Song Lin jumped up and down anxiously.
"Ah! This! This is?? "
Guoguo was also stunned. They had no idea what Reina was planning.
Reina used the water magic to easily fill up the well of life. She clapped her hands and took out a dark red bead from her bosom. With a plop, she threw it into the water tank.
"This should be enough."
She looked at the red bead that quickly sank to the bottom of the water and clapped her hands. The two little foresters also lay on the well of life and looked at the heart of the tree in the water with Reina.
As time passed, the dark red stone at the bottom of the bubbling water did not change at all.
"It's moving!"
Reina suddenly cried out in surprise.
"Idiot! That's the water moving. "Song Lin scolded. Then he frowned and looked at the strange stone.
"Guoguo, come here."
He suddenly brought Guoguo a distance away. Then he leaned over and said in Guoguo's ear, "Don't you think you've seen this before?"
Song Lin's question happened to be what Guoguo was puzzled about. He also felt that the red stone was familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
"Hmm … I feel that way too. But what is it?"
Guoguo pondered.
"Should we ask her?"
"Are you stupid? She definitely won't tell us."
"What are you two whispering about?"
At this moment, a huge face appeared beside the two of them.
"Ah!!"
"Nothing! Nothing! "
The two of them were shocked. Reina tilted her eyebrows and revealed a suspicious expression. Then she sighed and said, "It still won't work. Are you lying to me? This isn't the well of life at all."
Hearing this, Song Lin clenched his fist and protested, "This is the well of life! If you don't believe me, then forget it! "
Guoguo smiled bitterly and flew in front of Reina, saying, "I'm guessing that you're looking for the dew from the Tree of God. That's the God's Water that originally appeared in the Well of Life."
"Yes! This is exactly what I'm looking for! Is there any way to get some for me? "
Reina asked straightforwardly. If someone had asked this question a hundred years ago, Song Lin and the rest of the Little Forest people would have thrown her out without hesitation.
But not now, because they don't have one.
"Before you answer that question, answer one of mine first."
Song Lin suddenly became serious. He raised his head and looked at Reina. He pointed at the wet dark red stone in her hand and said: "What the hell is this thing?"
"This? It's a very important thing, I think it's called … Heart of the Divine Tree. "
When she said these four words, Song Lin and Guoguo's faces darkened. The two of them quieted down. Mr. Ball, who was silently observing from the side, sensed their changes and silently came to Reina's side.
"Then do you know an elf named Isabella?"
Song Lin asked in a low voice.
"You're talking about the Elf King? This is what she gave me. How do you know? "
Hearing this, Song Lin and Guoguo slowly retreated. They looked at Reina with hostility.
"That means that you're on the elves' side! You're our enemy!! "Song Lin roared. His eyes were wide open, revealing an angry expression.
"Ah? Why? Aren't you friends with the elves? "
"We were in the past, but they've committed unforgivable crimes! Now they're our enemy! "
Guoguo also revealed an angry expression.
Reina frowned.
Crimes?
"What, what did they do?"
"Unforgivable! They've committed an unforgivable crime! Absolutely unforgivable!! You're actually helping those sinners! You're a bad person! Get out of here! We don't welcome you! " Song Lin scolded. However, under Mr. Ball's angry glare, he retreated two steps, gritted his teeth, turned around and ran away.
The other Little Forest Person, Guoguo, remained there. He looked at Song Lin with a complicated expression. Then, he turned around.
"Aren't you leaving?"
Reina was also in a bad mood. She frowned and sat on the ground in distress.
Now, she didn't know what to do. All the clues were gone. Perhaps she should go back and ask Rinchad.
Guoguo flew to Reina's side. He stood on the ground and then, like Reina, sat on the stairs.
"Actually, there's a reason why Pinewood is so angry. The betrayal more than a hundred years ago dealt a heavy blow to us Little Forest people. Pinewood's wings were also broken at that time. Many of our companions also died in that calamity."
Guoguo lowered his head. Reina glanced at him.
"Can you tell me about it?"
"Mm, if you're willing to listen …"
Thus, he told her the ins and outs of the matter.
Thousands of years ago, or even longer ago, a race that was searching for immortality found the legendary Tree of Life. This race was the ancestors of the Elves. At that time, the Little Forest people were already the guardians of the Tree of Life. They chased away all those who were searching for the Tree of Life, including the ancestors of the Elves.
However, unlike all those who came to search for immortality, these people had more perseverance. They directly settled down outside the Tree of Life. One must know that the Tree of Life couldn't be seen from the outside world, but they still firmly believed that the Tree of Life was here.
After an unknown number of years, the group of people who lived outside the Tree of Life reproduced generation after generation. As for how many years had passed, the Little Forest people didn't know. During this period of time, the Little Forest people's lives were seen by the Little Forest people. They also subtly influenced the Little Forest people. Their appearance also became more and more humanoid. At first, the Little Forest people were in different forms, like various creatures. Finally, they evolved into their current appearance.
Later, the Little Forest people were moved by their simple lives and simple personalities. In the end, they decided to send a request to the Tree of Life to let the ancestors of the Elves stay …
The Tree of Life agreed. In the end, the ancestors of the Elves sent a representative to make a contract with the Tree of Life. The contents of the contract were only known to the Elven King and the Tree of Life.
The Well of Life was thus born. The one who accepted the contract was the Elven King, who had the power granted by the Tree of Life. The Elven King obtained the power of the Tree of Life, which allowed his people to obtain immortality and the power of life.
Spirits were evolved from the power of life. However, all of this came with a price. Other than the Elven King, the Elves were not allowed to enter the Forest of Life. They could only live outside. Furthermore, they had to protect the Tree of Life for generations, using the power granted by the Tree of Life to resist their enemies.
This power allowed the Elves to become a major force that rivaled the humans and demons. Humans envied their longevity, and demons envied their power. In history, there was a period of glory that belonged to the Elven Empire.
However, that was short-lived. Times were changing. The Elves who relied on the power of the Tree of Life found that humans would constantly develop new weapons and new magic. To the Elves who had a long lifespan, humans were like an acquaintance. Every time they met, they would change their appearance. Furthermore, they would become better and better. The Elves could only watch as the other party gradually surpassed them. At the same time, an unprecedentedly powerful Demon King appeared among the demons. He even defeated the human army. Even the Elves had no choice but to ally with the humans whom they looked down on.
This thorn had always been in the Elves' hearts. The Little Forest people also knew that the Elven King often prayed to the Tree of Life to grant them more power to resist their enemies.
"However, the Tree of Life refused. The Elves' decline was not because they were too weak, but because they did not want to improve themselves. Unfortunately, they would only blame the Tree of Life for not granting them enough power. A hundred years ago, the Elves lost a great war and panicked. Under the pressure, the new Elven King committed an unforgivable crime. "
Guoguo looked back at the Tree of Life and sighed. "During the ritual, Elven King Isabella used evil magic and tainted this land with the power of darkness. We Little Forest people fought a great war against the Elves, but we lost. We Little Forest people never thought that the Elves would betray the Tree of Life. As the King of the Forest, Pine Forest was severely injured in the battle. Half of the Tree of Life's power was taken away. The Heart of Life in your hand was made by Isabella using evil magic to imprison the Tree of Life's soul. "
Reina was stunned. She never thought that the Elves would do such a thing. She thought of Isabella, who was part of the Tree of Life, and wondered if they were all lying.
If what Guoguo said was true, then she was helping the Elves. She didn't like the Elves, but there were good people like Kory and Dodoro among them.
Reina suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body. Her stomach tightened, and her heart sank.
Guoguo suddenly grabbed Lena's hand. She bitterly smiled and revealed a helpless expression: "I believe that you don't know anything. You are a kind human."
"But what should I do?"
Reina looked at Mr. Ball, who closed his eyes and shook his head. She then looked at the dark red ball in her hand. At this moment, she felt that the ball was emitting a foul smell and was very heavy.
She tried to throw it away, but then she remembered Isabella's face before she died.
Was someone who sacrificed herself for her people a bad person?
She couldn't figure it out.
Suddenly, she felt a sense of dread.
What if the person she was looking for was a bad person in the eyes of others?
Reina pulled her hand back, lowered her head, and crossed her arms.
She was lost.
She, who was trying to find her memories, suddenly felt lost. She felt that there was a layer of mist in front of her, and she couldn't see what was in front of her.
"Are you … okay?"
Guoguo asked worriedly. She saw Reina's strange state.
"Let her have some time alone."
Mr. Ball suddenly said. Guoguo showed an uneasy expression, wondering if she should tell her too much.
"Okay, be careful. There are some annoying bugs here."
Guoguo left after saying that.
The water in the Well of Life had dried up. Reina was still sitting on the stairs with her head lowered.
Mr. Ball didn't say anything to comfort her. It just silently stayed by Reina's side.
The sun rose to the highest point in the sky and set toward the West Mountains. Finally, the sky turned pale red.
Reina sat there for a whole day. When Mr. Ball was hesitating whether or not to make a fire, Reina suddenly said, "Mr. Ball, I want to know something. Can you answer me?"
Mr. Ball looked at Reina. It didn't have a heart, but it felt like its heartbeat had sped up and became nervous.
Don't let your imagination run wild, little princess.
"Yes, as long as I can tell you"
It answered.
If it could, it wanted to tell Reina everything it knew. It wanted to tell her who the person she was looking for was, and everything that happened in the past.
But it couldn't.
"If one day, I did something very, very bad, what would you think?"
Reina suddenly asked a question that Mr. Ball couldn't answer for a while.
Mr. Ball looked at Reina. It knew that Reina was currently in a very dangerous situation.
"From the moment I was given life and consciousness, my duty was to protect you. No matter what you did, I would still protect you. This is the meaning of my life. If you ask me what I would think, I can only say that I don't have a human's concept of good and evil. No matter what you do, it doesn't matter to me. But if that makes you sad and miserable, then I hope that it will never happen again. "
Mr. Ball said.
Reina smiled bitterly. She stroked Mr. Ball's round head and said: "I'm sorry for making you worry."
She then sighed and looked at the sky that was half night and half dusk.
"Then what's the meaning of my life?"
She couldn't help but sigh.
"Forget it! I'll think about things that I can't figure out later! I need to hurry back and find big brother Rinchad! I need to find out what he's hiding from me! "
Reina regained her spirit.
"Right, Mr. Ball, can you help me get this?"
She held the Heart of the Divine Tree and asked. Mr. Ball took it without hesitation.
"Of course."
Reina then left the Well of Life.
When she returned to the exit, it was already night time. The sky was full of stars, and the sound of insects could be heard everywhere.
"Big brother Rinchad!! Where are you?! "
Reina's shout broke the insects' accompaniment, and the surroundings became silent. A figure and a ball carrying a lantern walked out of the forest.
"Strange, I clearly remember that it should be around here."
She looked at the ground. As a person with no sense of direction, she would leave a mark on the road to avoid getting lost.
At this time, there was a piece of wood stuck in the ground at her feet. This was the entrance mark she made.
Suddenly, she saw a white cloth tied to the wood. She untied it and found some words written inside:
"Our mission has been completed. The rest is up to you. Although I want to say this, you must have fallen into a dead end by now. My suggestion is that since the Elf King chose you, it also means that she is willing to accept your choice. In any case, you are not a bad person.
Perhaps you have already noticed that we have met before. I don't deny this, but the person you are looking for is definitely not me. Perhaps you shouldn't worry about the past and should look forward. If you want to regain your memory anyway, then go to the Ica Empire.
Goodbye, I wish you a safe journey.
— — Rinchad. "
The words ended here.
For some reason, Reina felt a stabbing pain in her heart. She felt that she might never see him again in this life.
At this time, two days' walk away from here, in a burning forest, Rinchad held a sword and looked ahead with Lilith and the others. Holding a giant sword, a strong man with an evil aura floated in the sky, looking down at everyone with a contemptuous smile.
"You owe me money, Oro!!"
Gulliver shouted.
