In the outer square of the palace, Edward sat slumped on a chair, staring blankly at the green light beam dozens of meters away.

Ever since he woke up from a coma, he has been sitting like this, his face ashen as before, and he still has the appearance of the former Elf King and Crown Prince.

He never expected that this situation would arise, that the World Tree would actually reject him, rejecting him, the blood descendant of the Elf King.

"I was rejected... The World Tree does not recognize me..." Edward covered his face, looking dazed, and muttered to himself: "I am not the Elf King... not..."

Ever since he could remember, he had high hopes from the royal family and was trained as the Elf King of the Holy Tree, and he had always believed that he would become the Elf King. But tonight, His Highness Prince Edward, who has the expectations of the elves, has all his confidence and dreams shattered and disillusioned.

Dalian stood in front of the light pillar, staring at the entrance of this "Holy Land", her face was also very solemn, but it was not revealed because of the veil.

Not only Edward, but she, the "high priest" who was originally recognized by the World Tree and could freely enter and exit the Holy Land, was now rejected by the World Tree just like Edward.

The surrounding elders and priests were also silent, neither willing nor daring to break this terrible silence.

Suddenly, a priest who was responsible for observing the surroundings of the Forest of Echolite stumbled in. He ignored the etiquette and rules and shouted in a panic: "No... it's not good! Those who were originally in the Forest of Echolite The monsters outside the forest suddenly went crazy and tried desperately to break in!"

This news was like a heavy hammer falling, hitting the hearts of everyone present, making those who were already flustered become even more frightened!

In fact, most of the people present could vaguely sense what was happening outside the Forest of Akrit, but they did not announce it to the public and blocked the news to avoid causing unnecessary panic among the elves.

The reason for doing this is, firstly, because the monsters and zombies show no signs of attacking the Forest of Akrit, and secondly, the Holy Tree Festival is approaching and the World Tree is also showing signs of awakening, so we will put this matter aside for the time being. .

It's just that no one thought that at this troublesome time, these monsters would suddenly go crazy. It's true that blessings never come in pairs, and misfortunes never come singly.

"It...they broke in?"

Among the people present, a priest asked with a trembling voice the priest who came to report the news.

"No, there is a light green barrier blocking them. It seems that the monsters can't set foot in the Forest of Akrit now."

Dalian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "It is the blessing of the World Tree. It is using its own power to protect us."

The answers from the reporting priest and Dalian's words made these priests and elders feel a little relieved, and at the same time, they felt a little more grateful and respectful towards the World Tree.

Praise the sacred tree! Praise the King!

But unlike others, Dalian's mood did not improve at all, because she knew very well that it must be the powerful vitality released by the World Tree when it woke up that attracted these monsters, including the world-destroying black dragon.

Now the World Tree can block those small fish and shrimps, but if Nidhogg comes in person, can the World Tree still block it?

The answer is absolutely no! Except for the Elf King, no one can stop the invasion of the black dragon!

"May I ask, Holy Lady, what should I do in this situation now?"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty the High Priest, is there anything we need to do?"

The elders and priests below all began to look at Dalian, the person closest to the World Tree, with expectant eyes, and their tone was very sincere.

As for Edward, they ignored him in silence. The crown prince who is not recognized by the World Tree is not worthy of standing here at all. They knew the private relationship between Edward and Darien, and if they weren't afraid of upsetting the Holy Lady, they would have "invited" Edward out long ago.

Darian did not answer these people's questions, but walked up to the altar and gently picked up the peerless divine bow named "Gonkunkovo".

Since she is a saint recognized by the World Tree, she can pick up the "Gonkunkovo", but she cannot pull the bow at all.

In terms of personality, Darian is qualified enough to touch this artifact, because the duty given to her by the Holy Tree is to keep "Gonkunkovo" for the king; but in terms of strength, as a member of her priesthood, she is It is far from meeting the standards for using this "Gonkunkovo".

The only person who can hold and use this divine bow is the Elf King of the Holy Tree himself.

"Edward." Darian opened her lips lightly and did not use the polite title again.

"Dalian..." Edward raised his head and looked at her blankly.

Her Royal Highness the Saint shook her head gently, showed a very sad smile, and put her hand on the bowstring: "This is the last thing I can do for my people."

After hearing these words, everyone present was stunned for a moment, but they soon realized what Dalian was planning to do.

"You must not do this!" Edward was horrified and stood up with a "swish", "Such an act of transgression is absolutely forbidden!"

The others were too frightened to speak out or even take a breath.

"Edward, this is the last resort." Darian looked at the divine bow in her hand with a determined look, "The black dragon is already flying towards the Forest of Akrit. If we don't take action, our Holy Tree Royal Court will definitely be in danger in a few days. Then destroyed."

As she spoke, she slowly raised Gonkunkovo, condensing magic power in her hand and turned it into an emerald green arrow. Then the high priest put the arrow in Gonkunkovo's string, and his eyes changed. Gain perseverance and determination.

Forcing someone other than the Elf King to use Gonkunkovo, which can only be used by the Elf King, is a great disrespect to the Elf King, but Dalian can no longer care about so much, and can only burn her own life in exchange for power. Get yourself to the minimum level of strength you need to use Gonkunkovo.

Nalan Shu, who had just come out of the Holy Land, couldn't help but stop when he saw the scene in front of him.

It seems that someone has taken action... Hmm...

Nalan Shu supported the phantom Ashika on his head and started watching from the side.

On the holy platform, the Gunkunkovo ​​in Dalian's hand gradually opened, and the huge magic power gathered on the emerald green arrow. The strong sense of oppression made Edward and others unable to straighten their waists and could only kneel down. He fell down on the ground and bowed his head.

At this moment, Dalian, whose strength and status have reached the requirements of using Gangkunkovo, is so aloof. From a distance, she actually has the aura of the legendary first-generation Holy Tree Elf King.

"puff!"

Suddenly, Dalian spat out a mouthful of blood, dyeing the light-colored veil deep red. The magic arrow on the bowstring collapsed instantly, and Gonkunkovo ​​let go of his hand, falling from the holy platform to the ground with a "pong" sound.

She failed. After all, she was not the Elf King of the Holy Tree. Even if her status and strength met the conditions for using Gonkunkovo, she was still unable to use the divine bow that had severely injured Nidhogg.
