Chapter 449 Mother Tree Ganisil

"Well, Olena, please inform Marshal Alfred of this news as soon as possible."

"By the way, Anna may bring the pure-blooded elves and centaurs to the No. 7 outpost to rest temporarily in a while. You should make preparations in advance." Ryan thought for a while and said.

It seemed that because of hearing Anna's name, Olena on the other side of the thin sheet was slightly stunned, but immediately said:

"Understood, Lord Ryan, is it Miss Anna and her people? I will arrange it properly!"

"By the way, what about you?"

"I will escort them for a while, and then I plan to go to the nearby Walzig ruins. By the way, Olena, please help me keep an eye on the cult movements near the Walzig ruins."

"Yes, Lord Ryan."

After ending the communication, Ryan walked towards the location where everyone was.

It is natural that the imperial official will come forward to support the elves. In addition, he also knew that the top leaders had already arranged two imperial guardians in the nearby province.

His visit to Ferdinand Forest was actually a private matter. His original purpose was to ensure Anna's safety.

Later, under the coordination of the Sword Bearer Headquarters, it became a preliminary reconnaissance mission.

However, based on the current information, this reconnaissance mission can be considered a successful completion.

In addition, with his current 94% crystallization of spiritual power, he can impact the level of a fourth-level Dawn Wizard at any time, but the fourth-level Steel Heart Meditation Method has not yet been found.

Coincidentally, he also happened to obtain two "Ancient Tree Hearts", so he planned to go to the Walzig Ruins.

As for Anna, Lambert and others, they can take this long-distance airship to the No. 7 outpost to rest temporarily.

Ryan said to the elf elder Aldiran:

"Mayor Aldiran, in my opinion, your people should find a place to rest first. After the situation becomes clear, we can make plans."

"I have a place to recommend, that is the Imperial Outpost No. 7 near Ferdinand Forest. However, this is leaving home after all, so it might be more appropriate for you to come forward to negotiate this matter?"

"Okay, I think so too, but so many people, Lord Ryan, can the outpost you mentioned accommodate them?" Aldiran was happy at first, but then he frowned and said.

"It should be no problem."

Ryan looked around. He just saw that most of the pure-blooded elves who survived in the town of Bashalan were the elderly, women and children. There were not many adult male elves, who should have died in the previous defense battle.

This is why the elf elder Aldiran did not propose any counterattack or request to rescue Ferdinand City just now.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but he and the surviving tribesmen have no fighting power to speak of. Let alone support or counterattack, even self-preservation will be a big problem once Ryan and Lambert leave.

"That's great! Lord Ryan, leave this matter to me. I will communicate with the tribesmen immediately. Only by surviving can we rebuild our homeland."

"That's right." Ryan nodded and smiled.

"Anna, you and Ms. Delanna should also go to the No. 7 outpost to rest first? It will be much safer there. Ms. Olena, whom you know, is also there. She will arrange everything."

"Ryan, what about you?" Anna looked at Ryan with a pair of bright eyes and asked with concern.

Just now, she vaguely heard some of what Ryan said about ruins.

"Well, I joined a wizard school when I was in the imperial capital. Now the school is exploring the nearby Walzig ruins. I want the heart of the ancient tree because it can break the ancient wizard formation and enter the core area of ​​the ruins."

After thinking about it, Ryan did not choose to hide the exploration of the ruins from Anna.

"Ryan, then. Can I go with you? By the way, I have mastered the giant bear transformation of the druid, so I can join the battle."

As if she was worried that Ryan would not believe it, Anna immediately recited a spell and cast a spell beside her.

However, Ryan gently patted Anna's shoulder to stop her, shook his head, and said:

"Anna, it's really not possible. I know you have improved a lot, but there may be ancient witch formations and other dangers at the ruins. I am sure I can protect myself, but if you are with me..."

"Anna, with Ryan's strength, it will be safer to go alone." Ms. Delanna on the side also said at the right time.

"Well, Ryan, you must be careful." Anna's big eyes could not hide the loss.

"Don't worry." Seeing that Anna was a little depressed, Ryan hugged Anna and kissed her forehead again in front of Delanna and everyone.

"Oh!" This made Anna exclaim, and shyly buried her head in Ryan's chest, not daring to lift it up.

As for the loss just now, it had disappeared.

After comforting Anna for a while, Ryan walked towards Lambert.

"Sir Lambert, your injuries have not fully recovered. Why don't you take this airship to the nearby Imperial Outpost No. 7 to rest? I feel more at ease with you here."

"Thank you, Sir Ryan. What about you?" Lambert smiled and said.

"I will ride the Blood Feather Hippogryph to escort you for a while, but later, I need to leave for a while. The school has something to deal with nearby."

"Okay, Sir Ryan, you can go with peace of mind. I am here. The safety of Miss Anna and others will be left to me." Lambert patted his chest and said with a smile.

Not long after, the long-distance airship originally belonging to Bostaf took off again, but this time, it flew to the outskirts of Ferdinand Forest.

Ryan rode the Blood Feather Hippogryph to start the escort.

He planned to escort for a while to ensure the safety of the airship, and then turn to the ruins of Walzig.

Blood Feather on.

Ryan casually checked the previous system battle prompt:

[Congratulations, you defeated the powerful enemy and obtained 58 gold skill points! ]

[Congratulations, your Will (Hidden) attribute has been upgraded! ]

[Congratulations, your Dragon Vein Wizard (Legend) occupation level has been upgraded! ]

[Congratulations, your Dragon Vein Wizard (Legend) occupation level has been upgraded! ]

If the previous one-shot kill of the 'Evil Snake' can be considered a battle, then the subsequent defeats of Bostaf and the Quileute of the Secret Snake Cult can be considered three consecutive battles.

Especially the latter two, both of them are truly epic-level powerhouses.

This has enabled Ryan's legendary occupation 'Dragon Vein Wizard' to be upgraded eight levels in a row, directly from lv1 to lv9.

Ryan gained 8 attribute points and 8 skill points.

Because in the battle, Ryan added a total of ten attribute points to restore his mental strength.

Therefore, after this in and out, his current remaining attribute points are 12 points, skill points are 10 points, and the gold skill points have reached an exaggerated 277 points.

However, due to the rocket-like increase in the level of the Dragon Vein Wizard (Legend), although Ryan did not become richer and richer, his remaining attribute points only decreased by two points, and he could still support more than two medium-intensity battles.

This made Ryan full of confidence in the subsequent trip to the ruins of Walzig.

Half an hour later.

The capital of the Province of Dornier.

In a luxurious mansion in the center of the city.

A strong man with a rough face and long golden hair was standing in front of the window of the study on the third floor, overlooking the large dense forest to the west.

"Lord Lothar, the Empire's urgent military intelligence is about the Ferdinand Forest." A guard stepped forward quickly, bowed and handed over a piece of information.

"Oh? Finally there is news."

The strong man named Lothar opened the information and quickly scanned it, and his heart was immediately shocked.

“Has Prince Seidlin of the Elf Tribe been seduced and corrupted by the Mother Tree Cult?”

“It is almost impossible to corrupt an epic warrior without the intervention of the power of God.”

“Is the so-called Supreme Mother Tree targeting the elves?”

“It seems that the elves of Ferdinand Forest are in big trouble this time!”

Lothar's mind turned slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Notify everyone and the airship to get ready. We will set off in a quarter of an hour to Ferdinand Forest Post No. 1."

"As you command, Lord Lothar."

Then, four guards filed in and put on the full body knight armor for the majestic man

. The surface of the armor had complicated golden patterns, which seemed to be some kind of inscription symbols. After being dressed neatly, the man like a lion picked up the knight's sword and giant shield hanging on the wall.

The giant shield was a rare square shape, two inches thick, and was made of some black and purple metal. The most eye-catching thing was the eighteen sharp spikes on the surface of the shield. Each spike was like an extremely sharp dagger.

It is conceivable that if such a shield hit the head or body, the scene would definitely be very beautiful.

The lion-like man was named Lothar Elliot, the old guardian of the Dragun Empire, and was named "Imperial Barrier"!

A quarter of an hour later, an airship with a shield with eighteen spikes on a huge airbag slowly took off from the airship berth in the city of Dornie.

At the same time, in

the capital of the Gironde Province,

at the highest airship berth in the city, there was also a large airship heading towards the Empire's No. 1 Outpost in Ferdinand Forest.

Two hours later, at the top of the No. 1 Outpost in Ferdinand Forest,

two large airships arrived one after the other.

The garrisons in the outpost were so busy that they could not imagine that two imperial guardians would come in succession today.

The highest person in charge of the garrison, a middle-aged man in a colonel's uniform, was not even qualified to attend the meeting. At this moment, he was taking charge of the guard duty at the door of the conference room with a serious face.

The spacious conference room that could originally seat more than 40 people actually gave people a sense of crowding after nearly 20 strong men in various armors, robes and uniforms sat there.

It seems that because everyone's aura is very unusual, although there is almost a body distance between the front and the back, it still gives people a full feeling.

"Everyone, the empire's top-secret intelligence just came, a major change has occurred in Ferdinand Forest, Prince Seidlin of the forest elf clan was seduced and corrupted by the Mother Tree Cult, and Ferdinand City is now in civil strife."

Lothar, wearing a golden pattern knight armor, narrated in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, many people below took a breath of cold air.

"Hiss~"

"Prince Seidlin? This person is not from the forest elf clan."

"The opponent's strength is said to have reached the epic level a long time ago, which is a bit tricky."

"No, didn't you hear Lord Lothar say that the opponent was seduced and corrupted by the Mother Tree Cult. I think the most difficult one should be the Mother Tree Cult." The speaker was Luther, a good friend of Ryan, nicknamed "Chimera Knight".

"Yes, I agree with Luther's opinion. Unknown enemies are the most terrifying."

At the same time, an emergency combat meeting was held in the Empire's No. 1 outpost.

The central area of ​​Ferdinand Forest.

A huge city with a green vegetation coverage rate of more than 80% is suffering from some kind of evil invasion.

Some kind of green giant vines with defensive functions, similar to the creeper magnified dozens of times, grow around the huge city, but at this moment, a large section of the vine wall several meters high in the south of the city has been destroyed.

Many huge vines in the gaps of the wall are still being corroded by some kind of flesh and fire energy, emitting bursts of burnt smells.

Looking inside along the gap, you can find it.

Most of the houses in the city are made of wood, distributed on the lawn, on the branches of giant trees, etc., but the original sense of patchwork has become dilapidated at this moment due to various damage, burning and corruption.

The sounds of fighting, weapons clashing, screams and witchcraft explosions are still coming one after another in the distance.

Following the broken streets to the center of the city, you can see that there is an exquisitely carved white marble building near the center of the city.

The building is similar to a temple, magnificent and stretching for several kilometers. It is the palace of the royal family of the forest elves Ferdinand.

In the central area of ​​the palace, there is a giant tree that looks like a banyan tree, but it is hundreds of meters tall and has a semicircular canopy-like crown.

This giant tree is the 'Andashir', known as the crown of the Ferdinand Forest.

At this moment, just above the giant tree Andashir, there is a gorgeous green barrier swirling around, covering the palace and the main buildings of Ferdinand City.

If you look down from the sky, you can see that five prismatic crystals more than one meter high are floating on the bases of the five directions of the palace.

It is these five crystals that shoot a half-meter diameter beam of light toward the sky, and together, they form this green hemispherical barrier.

If the mayor of the small town of Bashalan, Aldilan, is here, he will definitely tell Ryan immediately why there has been no news from Ferdinand City.

Because at this moment, Ferdinand City has already opened the last means of defense - the 'crystal barrier'.

After opening, relying on the five emerald crystals that have accumulated energy for thousands of years, it can resist the attacks of the demigod level for a certain period of time, but there is also a small problem, that is, it cannot send messages.

Not only can horned eagles, carrier pigeons and blood falcons not enter and exit, even high-level witchcraft messages will be blocked by extremely strong energy fluctuations. While ensuring absolute safety for a certain period of time, messages cannot be sent in or out.

Simply put, the palace and the nearby core area have become an isolated island at this moment.

Not far from the green barrier.

A group of people are discussing something. There are four people in the lead, three of whom are old men wearing black robes with big tree patterns.

The other person has a slender figure, dark leather armor, handsome appearance, and pointed ears that indicate the identity of the other party as an elf. In front of him, there is a fist-sized, transparent spherical film wrapped golden tree.

A very miniature tree!

If Ryan was at the scene, he would immediately think of the golden tree that killed the flesh and blood tree spirit in the Night Song Forest. The aura it exudes is exactly the same.

"Prince Seidlin, as long as three of the five crystals are destroyed, this witch formation handed down from ancient times will collapse, right?" An old man in black robes on Seidlin's right asked.

"Well, the crystal barrier can only be destroyed from the inside. When the number of crystals is less than three, the barrier will automatically fail."

When Prince Seidlin said this information that should have been the top secret of the elves, his expression was strange, and his voice was hollow, as if he was immersed in some kind of world of his own.

If you look closely, you can find that his eyes have been staring at the golden tree floating in front of him, as if he is watching a rare treasure, or as if he is watching a peerless beauty.

I don't know if it's because he stared too long, Prince Seidlin's eyes actually strangely exuded a faint dark red light, and the whites of his eyes were covered with bloodshot like earthworms.

"Then does anyone know this secret passage you mentioned besides you?" After hearing the method to break the crystal barrier, another old man in black robes on Prince Seidlin's left was happy and continued to ask.

Obviously, he wanted to ask if he would be ambushed if he sneaked in through the secret passage.

"No, even the great druids and the great commanders don't know. This is a secret of the elven royal family." Prince Seidlin said, still staring at the mini tree emitting golden light, and said hollowly.

"Great! Once the crystal barrier is destroyed, the great mother tree Ganisil will be able to descend directly from the void to our world."

The old man in black robe who was speaking, with a slightly disdainful look, secretly glanced at Prince Seidlin who was still obsessed with the golden mini tree.

This Prince Seidlin has been subtly changing since he gained some kind of secret connection with the great mother tree Ganisil in the void a few months ago.

Half a month ago, he finally became a loyal supporter of the great mother tree.

"Your Highness, by then, what you hope for and have been looking forward to, to give Andrasir, the crown of Ferdinand Forest, which is about to run out of life, a new life, can be realized immediately!"

As the black-robed old man said this, a cunning flashed in his lowered eyes.

And the corners of his mouth even drew an upturned curve.

It is naturally not so easy to make an epic powerhouse change his beliefs and throw himself into the arms of the Supreme Mother Tree.

If it were not for a careful plan, if it were not for Prince Seidlin's obsession with giving Andrasir, who has reached the end of his life, a new life.

Then the power of the Supreme Mother Tree alone would hardly have much influence on an epic powerhouse with firm beliefs in the distant void.
