Whispering Verse

305th Wood

Miss Paavo raised her eyebrows in surprise:

"You should have noticed that you asked not one, but four questions. So I can only answer you this way: Of course there is only one Ancient One, and he is still sane after hundreds of thousands of years since the Second Era. .

All your questions will be answered when you see him soon. He has traveled a long time to come here, and most things have been decided long ago. As for your doubts”

Miss Paavo actually sighed this time:

"It seems that you don't know the most important thing yet, but this is normal. It means that our world is still very safe. But I can't tell you this matter. The ancient one said that he has been looking forward to telling you face to face for a long time, and then Judging from your expression, I'm not the kind of person who is a spoiler.

Let's put it this way, after the Ancient War of the Second Era, the coalition forces did not destroy the World Tree wreckage but sealed it here. This was not just because the World Tree wreckage could not be completely eliminated. There were also fire-wielding nuns in the team back then, and the first fire back then was much stronger than it is now. "

"What else is here?"

Shade immediately asked, but Miss Pavo did not answer:

"Don't be so impatient, you will know in a moment. But since you didn't bring anyone else to see me, I can tell you what may happen in the future. You have seen the five thrones under the tree, right? "

"certainly."

"Perhaps at the end of the story in this woodland, someone needs to sit on the throne of the World Tree and never leave. Just imagine that scene. It would be great if the story ends with this result."

She smiled and shook her head:

"Of course, the prerequisite for what I'm talking about to happen is that you can really defeat that ancient man. I look forward to you defeating him. I admire the vigorous and energetic man more than the old man. young people.”

She waved her hand at Shade:

"Then goodbye, Godcaller, and thank you again for your advice. I hope you can choose an interesting ending again at the end of the eighth chapter of "The Whispering Psalms."

After saying that, she turned into a stream of light and disappeared. Shade stood there and looked up at the figure of the silver moon behind the dark clouds:

"Sitting on the throne of the World Tree?"

He turned around and looked in the direction of the escort team's camp, and it took him a long time to walk back.

After Shade returned to the camp, he didn't mention what happened just now, and no one else asked. Because this may be the last chance to rest, most people just wait in silence for the order to set off.

Shade originally planned to wake up Emilia when they set off, but Emilia, who was being held by Bella, woke up before the team set off.

She opened her eyes drowsily, sat up straight and stared at the flames in front of her in a daze for a few seconds, and then looked around as if she realized that this was not a place she was familiar with.

She immediately found Shade and little Liana, and then realized that she seemed to be sleeping in the arms of a witch just now:

"Where is this place?"

"We have entered the forest. I think the Ancient One is not far away. We should see him soon."

Shade said, briefly explaining the current situation beside Emilia. However, because there were other people here, he did not elaborate on the situation on board the Radiant Messenger:

"Emilia, how are you feeling now?"

"I am fine."

The elf who just woke up resisted the urge to yawn and said:

"I just saw the whole process of the ancient war, which is similar to the process we saw in the murals."

"Why did the coalition forces after the war choose to seal the remains of the World Tree?"

Shade asked, and Emilia said with certainty:

"Because this piece of debris was so powerful, people at that time were unable to completely eliminate it."

"Is that all?"

Shade asked again. The elf blinked and nodded quickly in the firelight:

"Yes, that's it."

Bella didn't know the content of the conversation between Shade and Miss Pavo just now, so she didn't know the meaning of Shade's question. She was concerned about other things:

"Is all you got a memory?"

"There is still some knowledge and power. Now I have a lot of secrets of ancient elves in my head, and I also know a lot of things I didn't know before. Those ancient elven kings are willing to lend me their power. I can temporarily fight them. Becoming a thirteen-ring warlock is the true thirteen-ring state!”

She said this, and everyone in the camp was happy. Only Shade looked at Emilia who was communicating with everyone with suspicious eyes, and was very suspicious that she was not telling the truth.

"Help me keep an eye on her for a while. If Emilia does anything unusual, tell me immediately."

Shade said in his heart, and "she" chuckled and agreed.

Shade and Miss Olanode both checked on Emilia's condition afterwards. She was indeed in good condition at this time, and even her spirit had mostly recovered. After Emilia drank the "angel elixir" that the witches carried with them, she became energetic and close to her peak state.

Soon after everyone set off again, the elf touched little Lianna and did not ride on again, but chose to walk forward with her.

The four branches of the World Tree were taken out again, but were handed over to Emilia by Shade. After all, "leaves", "branches" and "roots" are all items needed for this ceremony of the chosen one. As for [ Leaf of Youth], Shade gave one to Emilia after the Battle of Moon Bay, and she always carried it with her.

Shade's premonition was indeed correct. After leaving the Resurrection Woodland, he continued to move forward. Gradually, he found that the nearby scenery was very familiar. He had indeed reached the vicinity of his destination.

After walking forward for less than five minutes, a sudden path in the forest appeared in front of everyone. When setting off, Shade described the specific conditions of the destination to everyone in the team, so when they saw this trail, everyone knew that the end was ahead.

Tonight's adventure deep into the forest was just for this moment, so there was no need to hesitate or stop any longer, and the team set foot on the trail and continued moving forward. The dense grass at the end of the path was covered with snowflakes, and when Shade, who was walking at the front, parted the grass, light came from the front.

The light was not strong, because the light source came from the backs of the four smaller chairs among the five thrones standing across the open space.

From right to left, there are four-color rune strings in earthy yellow, azure, sea blue, and crimson on the backs of the four huge thrones, and the runes are all written vertically.

The fiery red rune on the leftmost seat - [Flowing like fire, time will never return], has appeared after Shade and the doctor defeated the demon. The meanings of the other three runes are:

[The earth is like a roll, and time is difficult to spread]

[The breeze is like a song, and the day and night are fleeting]

[Flowing water is like a poem, time is hard to turn back]

Only the back of the centermost seat was still empty, and in front of the largest seat, the old man with his hands behind his back seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Yes, I've been waiting for a long time."

At the same time as the sound sounded, the branches of the giant trees standing behind the thrones lit up with a faint emerald green light. The light dispelled a large area of ​​darkness, but it was still not enough to completely illuminate the long night. Glittering green light surged on the branches and leaves. Shade noticed that in 1821, there was a cursed tree behind the seat, but now the tree seemed to be just an ordinary plant.

Professor Uke Wood stood under the light with a smile. After everyone came to the open space from the path, he shook his fingers again:

"No, this is no ordinary plant."

The old professor said to Shade in the team as if he could read minds:

"This is the self-seal I have imposed on myself. The giant tree you see now should be regarded as my true body."

"Is this the remains of the former World Tree?"

The elf Mr. Eldron then asked in disbelief, and Professor Uke Wood shook his head slightly:

"The remains of the World Tree are under our feet, holding up the entire Vesta Woodland. This tree can only be regarded as a new sprout born from the dead wreckage, so it is only so small. I am the incarnation of the birth of the wreckage, It’s also the hope that emerges from the wreckage. Oh, I almost forgot, good evening everyone, you must be very tired after the journey, right?”

No one except Shade had ever seen him, so they just thought he was the human incarnation of the Ancient One.

"Can you tell me, when did you realize that I was your ultimate enemy?"

The old man asked Xiang De. Sha De didn't mind talking to him a few more words before actually taking action. He really had too many things that he hadn't figured out yet:

"It's hard to say the specific time. But haven't you barely concealed your identity from the beginning? The surname Wood itself means tree, and the name 'Yuke' is your name directly from 'Yuketra Hill' 'You took the first two syllables, right? World Tree, you wanted to let me know this from the first word you spoke to me."

"But in fact, the name itself has been cursed by myself. Under normal circumstances, people will not think carefully about the meaning of this name. So young man, your soul is indeed purer and greater than any mortal."

He praised without hesitation and looked very excited:

"You know, I have been waiting for today for too long. You defeated the Bennet I raised, destroyed the dragon beasts, demons and paradox insects I controlled, and finally defeated the human allies I made. , which can indeed be called remarkable.”

"But why do I feel that you sent these to us for us to destroy?"

Shade asked, but the old professor who looked very excited ignored him:

"I know you have many questions about the story here, so before we officially start, please let me answer these questions for you. After all, the story always tells everything in the end."
