After passing through a dense forest, a dark, rocky place appeared before Victor.
It was pitch black all around, but behind the layers of rocks lay a pool of fluorescent blue water.
Countless fireflies seemed to blur the lines between day and night, flashing their green light.
"We've arrived. This is the Sacred Spring of the Moon."
As Vinya finished speaking, Victor calmly looked in that direction.
The lake was incredibly calm; even when a gentle breeze stirred the surrounding wild grass, the lake remained as still as a mirror.
Blue fluorescence shone from the depths of this lake, like wandering souls.
Large swathes of silvery-white waterfall cascade into the pool, yet the two sides of the lake appear as if they are two different worlds.
One side is completely quiet, while the other side is constantly being pounded by the waterfall, becoming extremely chaotic.
A silvery crescent moon, shimmering with a yellowish glow, seemed to hang in the dark sky, and a single ray of moonlight quietly fell into the lake.
The moon seems to be completely nailed to the sky.
This land is perpetually shrouded in absolute night.
There is never daylight.
Seeing this, Vinya began to explain:
"The Holy Spring of the Moon absorbs the essence of the moon year-round to maintain its pure energy."
“Every day, there are elves with specific duties who collect water from the Moon Spring to water the sacred tree, and the sacred tree will then create elves.”
"but……"
At this point, Vinya glanced at Kokot, who was sitting on a cloud.
"With the Queen gone, no matter how much the Moon Spring is used, the Divine Tree can no longer produce new spirits."
Kokot turned his face away guiltily, avoiding Vinya's gaze.
However, she still stated confidently:
"You just saw it, the Divine Tree is no good thing."
"If I had stayed there, I probably would have been completely drained by now."
But Viktor's next words stunned the two of them:
"No, the divine tree is a good thing."
Upon hearing this, Cocotte and Vinya stood frozen in place, completely dumbfounded.
Viktor continued unhurriedly:
"I'm not talking about the Tree of Adriatic."
"It is simply a sacred tree."
From a tool perspective, the sacred tree is still quite necessary.
It can collect the natural energy of the elves and, with the irrigation of the Moon Spring, transform this natural energy into new elves.
Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for an elf to grow in nature.
Therefore, the spirits of nature created two tools within nature to allow the elves to reproduce freely.
One is the Divine Tree, and the other is the Sacred Spring of the Moon.
However, as a tool, the divine tree's biggest mistake was developing its own thoughts.
It gave itself a name, "Yad".
Actually, what you call yourself isn't important.
Importantly, once it had this name, the sacred tree came to possess thought.
It began to be dissatisfied with the status quo, and no longer content to be just a tool for production.
So it forcibly locked onto the sprite.
The original method, in which all elves could naturally reproduce through energy, has been changed so that only the Elf Queen can reproduce elves.
It wants to select the most powerful spirit through countless selections over thousands of years.
She created all the spirits based on her talents, and gave them a purer natural energy.
It was about to succeed; it had even completed mind control over the Elven race.
Unfortunately, it is common for people to die prematurely.
Because Viktor has arrived.
"Aside from some special methods of reproduction, the most common way for elves to reproduce is by using the sacred tree."
In the future, Kokot, with the help of the players, killed the Tree of Adrien and used natural energy to reshape a new tree.
Without self-awareness, the divine tree is simply a tool for production.
In other words...
"If the elves wanted, they wouldn't need an elven queen to reproduce."
The Elf Queen was merely a creation forcibly created by the Tree of Adrien.
It's just to make its behavior more reasonable.
Upon hearing this, Vinya was completely stunned.
"you mean……?"
Victor, with his hands in his pockets, took in Vinya's shock.
"That's right, even you can."
“Use your own natural energy to create new spirits.”
As long as nature exists, elves will never go extinct.
The elves' fear that Kokot's failure to return would lead to the extinction of the elven race.
It's not Kokote's problem at all.
It is the Tree of Ader.
Because the Tree of Adriatic forcibly locked onto the Elf Queen, the elves believed that only the Elf Queen could give birth to elves.
Over thousands of years, the elves' way of thinking has become completely fixed.
At this moment, Viktor lowered his head and looked at his status panel.
Vega's strength has recovered by nearly half.
"That's about it."
The moment he finished speaking, a green stripe appeared on Victor's trench coat.
At that moment, Vinya's body trembled violently.
Once again, she felt a calamity emanating from Victor.
This power is completely different from that of Gulerton.
Is it...wood?
She looked at Victor in disbelief.
If Viktor hadn't said she wasn't allowed to kneel, she probably would have already knelt down in front of this man.
