Lord of War

The Tree of Life has been one of the most important treasures of the elves since the Age of Ashes.

When the ancient elves split into many new races after the death of the world tree, the tree of life became the most important foundation of these elves. Basically, in the areas where the elves are active in the northern and western continents, each tribe is built around a tree of life. When the tree of life dies, it means that the tribe is basically going to decline and perish.

Because the significance of the tree of life to the elf tribe is no longer as simple as providing some materials that can be used to strengthen equipment or make magic pattern equipment as in the past. Whether the existing tribe can grow and be strong. The more vigorous and powerful the tree of life is, the more holy liquid of life can be born every month, and the elves who take this holy liquid of life will increase the success rate of pregnancy and childbirth. This is the power of the elf tribe. the key point.

It can be said that if an elf tribe has a tree of life and can ensure the healthy growth of this tree of life, then the prosperity of this tribe is just around the corner.

The premise is that this tribe and its tree of life will not die prematurely.

Therefore, the elf tribe's desire for the tree of life is like that of dragons and humans for wealth.

Today, there are only three trees of life in the entire barren land.

They are respectively guarded by the Eye of the Storm Tribe, the Gale Feather Tribe, and the Gray Crow Tribe, and the other big and small elf tribes basically distributed throughout the wild land also live around these three tribes. To put it simply, those elf tribes, large and small, if we want to go back to the origin, then their ancestors must be related to these three tribes, just like the Pofeng tribe and the Xuefeng tribe are both created by the storm. It's as if the Eye tribe broke away.

However, it is naturally impossible for a tribe that has separated like this to take away the tree of life. They can only take away the seeds of a few trees of vitality. As for how many seeds of the tree of vitality they can take root and germinate in the end, it depends on the ability of these separated tribes. If they don't have the ability, it is very likely that even one tree will not be able to germinate, and they can only end up in despair. Return to the original tribe or be annexed by other tribes.

Of course, this is not absolute.

Just like the tree of life can attack the world tree if it grows to a certain stage, it is a truth that if it succeeds, it can transform into the world tree. Since the tree of vitality is known as a small tree of life, it can of course transform into a tree of life, but this process is very complicated, and it can even be said that this is a very difficult act.

Just like there is only one world tree in an area, the area of ​​the wild land is just divided by three trees of life, so these three trees of life will never allow the tree of vitality to grow enough to transform into Stages of the tree of life. Once the tree of life feels such a threat, it will communicate with the tribe's witch priest, and then the tribe will send troops to cut down the tree of vitality that is already strong enough, and then dig out its heart as another tree. It is a resource for its own development and evolution towards the world tree.

The reason why the three major elf tribes in the barren land did not break out large-scale wars with each other is that the three trees of life have not yet grown to the point where they threaten each other or even devour the heart of each other. But in the foreseeable future, the war among the three major elf tribes, Eye of the Storm, Gale Feather, and Gray Crow, is absolutely unavoidable, but this future may be a bit long for human beings.

It's just that Sean knows that there is a way to shorten this process.

That is the broken branch of the tree of life.

The so-called broken branch of the tree of life, as the name suggests, is a part broken off from the tree of life.

As a tree of life with great efficacy, it is naturally also part of the rules of this world, and the broken branches from it will naturally contain a small part of the rules. And no matter how incomplete the rules are, in the hands of some people, it is still enough to restore them, and even comprehend more perfect and higher rules from them, thus stepping on a stronger path.

However, the broken branch of the tree of life is also an extremely rare treasure for the tree of vitality.

It can make a tree of vitality skip one or two growth stages and directly evolve into a tree of life, and the more perfect and powerful the tree of vitality grows into the tree of life through this method, its stage It will also climb higher.

Assuming that the tree of vitality needs five stages to evolve into the tree of life, then if you use the broken branches of the tree of life in the fourth stage, then the tree of vitality can at least enter the first stage when it transforms into the tree of life. The peak of the second stage. But now, as far as Xiao En knows, the three trees of life in the barren land are only the initial stage of the third stage, so there will definitely be a new tree of life that can stand shoulder to shoulder with these three trees of life. The collapse of the three elves in the entire barren land.

Based on Sean's knowledge of Saluoqi, he didn't think Saluoqi would do such a thing. After all, she is now competing with the Pofeng tribe for the heir position of the Eye of the Storm tribe.

Just thinking about it for a while, Sean already knew what Saluoqi wanted to do.

She wanted to use the credit of the broken branch of the tree of life to stabilize her position, thereby taking down the position of the chief of the eye of the storm. And with the broken branches of the tree of life, she can even let the tree of life in the eye of the storm directly cross the entire third stage and enter the fourth stage, so that the tree of life in the eye of the storm will surpass the other two tribes by a whole a big stage.

In this case, as long as the eye of the storm is not too aggressive, and let the tree of life cooperate to suppress the breath a little bit, and lie dormant for more than ten or twenty years, when the other two tribes find out that the situation is not good, they will never Is the opponent of the Eye of the Storm tribe. And when the time comes, as long as they gather their breath and counterattack these two tribes, it is believed that the life trees of these two tribes will be cut down, and their hearts will even become the tonic of the life tree of the Eye of the Storm tribe.

Swallowing the hearts of two third-order trees of life, with the ability of the eye of the storm tree of life, at worst, it will grow into a tree of life at the peak of the fourth-order, which is only one step away from the fifth-order. And after that, as long as the wilderness survives, this tree of life may really be able to grow carefree in this land that has no opponents, until it finally evolves into a world tree.

If this is the case, then this is probably the first World Tree that has reappeared since the Twilight Era. At that time, let alone a wild land, the entire Southern Continent will be included in the radiance of this World Tree. In this way, even the Eye of the Storm tribe will become a tribe that unifies all elves in the entire Southern Continent.

The ambition of this Princess Saluoqi is so huge!

She is not only satisfied with being the chief of the Eye of the Storm tribe, nor is she satisfied with unifying all the elf tribes in the entire wild land, what she wants is the surrender of all the elf tribes in the entire southern continent! And Xiao En is sure that if this female elf is really allowed to go this far, then her next pursuit goal will be all elf races on the entire surface, and it may even be to reproduce the glory of the elf royal family in the past.

Such a huge plan may be a grand goal for human beings that requires the joint efforts of several generations or even a dozen generations to complete.

But for elves, longevity is their greatest advantage.

So Saluoqi has enough patience and time to plan, perfect and implement this whole plan.

"Your ambition is really terrifying." Sean looked at Sa Luoqi, then shook his head slightly, "So looking for secret deals with human nobles is just a cover, and its real purpose is just to make your The Horde has more powerful equipment to throw into this civil war."

"You only guessed half of it." Saluoqi was quite frank, and did not deny Sean's guess, "The correct way of understanding should be both.... I really need the equipment made by you humans. Arming my tribal people, and this is not only used in the civil wars of other elf tribes in the Holy Land, but also used to defend against other invaders."

"But you said that you never thought of buying this cut branch through auction..."

"Yes." Saluoqi nodded, "The way I first considered was actually stealing....In your human terms, I have an insider in this trade caravan, and he can provide me with this The real place where the clippings are kept, and I'm sure I can steal it."

"But have you ever thought that this might be a trap." Sean frowned slightly, he didn't know why he said this to Sa Luoqi.

"Of course." Saluoqi nodded as a matter of course, "The regular secret trade between those guys from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance and our tribes in the Holy Land has been unilaterally suspended. It is obvious that they have discovered that our growth rate far exceeds their imagination, so They naturally hope that we ourselves will be able to cause internal turmoil...In fact, when I knew that such a broken branch would appear, I knew it was a conspiracy, but so what? In the words of you humans, this It's a double-edged sword, who can be sure that those from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance are not playing with fire?"

Listening to Sa Luoqi's words, Sean felt that this female elf was really a terrifying person.

If the list of the top ten generals in the mainland does not only limit humans, Xiao En believes that there will definitely be a place for Saluoqi Xuefeng on the list, because this is a person who is as good at layout as Hela. It can even be said that because of the longevity advantage of the race, she has more time and energy to design and check all the details and loopholes in the entire layout, so as to achieve true perfection.

If the guys from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance knew that there was such a person who was good at layout and planning among the elves in the barren land, I'm afraid they wouldn't give such a cut branch to the elves in the barren land.

Because as the princess said.

As a result of his impact and destruction on the first-to-tail snake route plan formulated by the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is temporarily unable to fight the combined army in the barren land, so naturally it wants to use the broken branches of the tree of life as bait to make the entire barren land The elves fell into civil strife, which weakened the combat power of the wild land. But for Saluoqi, this is also an opportunity to make her tribe grow stronger. As long as she uses it well, then the Chamber of Commerce Alliance will taste the taste of shooting itself in the foot.

But will the Federation of Chambers of Commerce let such an opportunity go?

I'm afraid that when the broken branch of the tree of life is stolen, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance will spread false news in the wild land.

Thinking of this, Sean finally understood why Sa Luoqi said that they were going back.

"Perhaps, we can cooperate more deeply." Seeing Xiao En's expression of sudden realization, Saluoqi Xuefeng said again, "As long as Lord Xiao En can help me get the broken branch of the tree of life, then I can Guaranteed, the tribes that I can influence and order will be your most staunch allies, my lord."

And at the moment when Saluoqi's words fell, Sean finally got the second link of the quest chain that he wanted to get before. It's just that Sean is definitely not that happy. Because if he had known that this would be the case, then he would definitely not have come to look for Sa Luoqi to inquire about the second link of this task chain.
