Chapter 468: The Secret of the Elves
At this time, Ryan also returned to his normal size, and when he turned around, he was also slightly stunned.
Because at this moment, everyone looked at him with eyes, whether they were familiar, such as Anna, Delanna, Luther, Lambert, etc., or unfamiliar, such as Lothar, Reginald, etc., all looked at him as if he were a monster.
Even the pure-blooded elves on the side were like this.
"Hey, everyone, why are you looking at me like this?" Ryan coughed a little awkwardly and said.
He naturally knew the reason.
After all, the transformation into a giant dragon, and a two-headed one, brought too much shock to everyone.
But he didn't plan to explain this matter.
"By the way, should we treat the wounded first?" Ryan immediately changed the subject and said.
Ryan's reminder immediately made everyone at the scene come back to their senses.
After the war, although they won, there were a large number of wounded at the scene. There were not many wounded on the Empire's side, and the majority were naturally pure-blooded elves.
"Ryan, you." At this time, Anna trotted over, but her beautiful eyes seemed to recognize Ryan again, and she kept looking him up and down.
"I'm still me, right?"
"Don't worry, I'm not possessed by the evil god."
Ryan smiled, stepped forward and rubbed Anna's hair, and at the same time, he hugged Anna in his arms and kissed Anna's smooth forehead gently, comforting her.
"Yeah." It seemed that Anna remembered something because of Ryan's familiar embrace. She squinted her eyes and felt much more at ease.
However, facing Ryan's kiss in public, Anna was very shy and buried her head in Ryan's chest again.
"Ryan, you are not the royal heir of the Dragun Empire, are you?"
After a while, Anna asked this sentence weakly in Ryan's ear.
"Of course not." Ryan laughed dumbly and said.
He finally understood what the girl in front of him was worried about.
Is she worried that she is not worthy of herself?
You are not Cinderella, and I am not a prince.
Ryan said silently in his heart.
Seeing Anna and Ryan snuggling together, Luther, Lambert and others did not come forward to disturb them.
However, at this time, several great druids who supported each other, wearing fern leaf shoulder armor and leaf crowns on their heads, came over accompanied by Anna's aunt Delanna.
The other party's eyes swept back and forth between Ryan and Anna. The oldest druid elder who was in the lead smiled kindly and said:
"Sir Ryan, thank you for your help to the elves this time, which saved the elves from a catastrophe! You will be the eternal friend and the most distinguished guest of the elves."
At the same time, while he was speaking, he also led several great druids behind him to bow deeply to Ryan.
"Elders, this is what I should do."
This move of the other party actually startled Ryan, who was talking to Anna.
For a moment, Ryan didn't know what to say.
And Anna seemed to be a little confused like him.
In fact, this was also the first time Anna met a big figure of the elves.
It was Drana who came to the rescue and said with a smile, "Ryan, this is our elven druid elder Auben Moonblade."
"Hello, elder Auben," Ryan said quickly.
Ryan could naturally sense that the elf elders in front of him actually had epic strength, but their injuries were quite serious.
Otherwise, they would not have been helpless in the previous battle.
"Hey, you are elder Nesha?" At this time, Anna, who was beside Ryan, looked at a female elf elder with a rather cramped but very excited look.
This made Ryan a little confused. This was Anna's relative, but he didn't seem to have heard of it before?
"Elder Nesha is the most legendary figure among our elven female druids, and she is also the teacher of my mother's teacher," Anna said quickly, as if she saw Ryan's doubts.
"Child, are you the child of Darren Hawkmoon?" The beautiful elf woman with faint crow's feet at the corners of her eyes walked forward, took Anna's hand, and smiled.
"Yes, yes!"
She didn't expect the other party's attitude to be so amiable.
As a half-blood, Anna has always been a little unconfident, even in the small town of Bashalan. After all, the elves have different attitudes towards half-elves.
"Good child, I heard from Dranna that you like the way of druids very much. Are you willing to become my disciple?"
"Ah? Can I really?" Anna was surprised and seemed a little unbelievable. She looked at Ryan beside her with her beautiful eyes.
Ryan smiled and nodded.
"But I am a half-elf, and my talent is really good enough. Is it good enough to become your disciple?" Anna said uncomfortably.
Anna's words made everyone around laugh.
Ryan naturally saw the other party's goodwill clearly.
He helped the elves a lot. It would be strange if the other party did not show any expression.
Even if Anna's druid talent was poor, there would be druid elders who would immediately accept Anna as a disciple.
Even if Anna hadn't mentioned this elder Nesha, the great elder Auburn would have proposed to accept Anna as his disciple.
"What a simple child."
Nesha Yingge smiled, and then gently stroked Anna's head. As a light green light flashed, her smile became even brighter.
"Child, don't worry, you have a good druid talent." Nesha Yingge encouraged her confidently.
"Really?"
"Great! Elder Nesha, I am willing to be your disciple!" Anna's beautiful eyes lit up after being affirmed, and she nodded heavily.
Anna has always hoped to help Ryan.
But needless to say, even the last time she returned to Meister, Ryan's strength was far beyond her expectations.
And this time, the strength Ryan showed may be something she can't catch up with no matter how hard she tries in this life.
But as for Anna, she still wants to improve her own strength as much as possible.
At least, she can't become a burden to Ryan.
But when Ryan heard the name 'Dareon Hawkmoon' mentioned by Elder Nesha in front of him, he immediately remembered the clues about Anna's mother that he had tortured from Reagan, the three brothers of the Dragon Scale Brotherhood last time.
'The Golden Age Bar on the fourth ring of the imperial capital, through a teleportation array in the wine cellar on the second floor underground' Ryan thought silently in his heart.
It was because of insufficient strength before.
But now, he thinks that he has enough strength and can start investigating.
This time, even if he faced the Second Prince head-on, he was confident enough.
At this time, a mature and feminine voice came from the side: "Ryan, do you still remember me?"
Menia, wearing a red wizard robe, walked slowly with a smile on her face.
"Your Highness Menia, hello, long time no see." Ryan bowed slightly and saluted.
"Long time no see, Ryan. Perhaps, later in the evening, we should have a good chat."
"Of course." Ryan nodded and smiled.
In fact, Menia had expected to find him.
When he decided to perform the dragon transformation, the royal family would find him sooner or later, and the 'Red Queen' Menia in front of him was the best person to communicate with.
However, at present, the other party should deal with some matters with the elves first.
"Great Elder Auben, it has been three years since we last met." At this time, Menia turned around and saluted slightly to the elders of the elves beside him, smiling.
"Yes, Your Highness Menia." Great Elder Auben returned the salute.
"By the way, may I ask, where is King Starian?"
"With such a serious enemy situation, I don't seem to see King Starian."
Menia looked around and asked.
"This..."
Elder Auburn and several other druid elders looked at each other with hesitation, but after a while, they sighed and continued:
"Your Highness Menia, we didn't mean to hide it, but King Starian specifically told us not to expose the news of his departure when he left Ferdinand Forest."
Elder Auburn looked at the fallen mother tree Andrassil and the palace that had become ruins in many places, and said with a look of loss:
"But now, there is no need to hide it."
"As early as half a year ago, King Starian took the captain of the personal guard to the legendary Silver Moon Forest to find the seeds of the mother tree."
Hearing this, Ryan on the side suddenly realized!
No wonder he seemed to have never seen the demigod-level strongman of the elves.
As an elf with a long history, even if it is weak, it is impossible for it to not have a demigod-level strongman.
In addition, Ryan figured out why the Mother Tree Cult would try every means to seduce Prince Seidelin and make him fall.
Because King Starian is not here, Prince Seidlin, who has the blood of the elven royal family, will definitely have a much greater voice in the elves.
This point cannot be avoided even if King Starian arranged for the great druids to participate in politics in advance.
As for the elves hiding the fact that their demigods are not at home, the reason is very understandable, to avoid the invasion of the enemy.
Even in the eyes of the elves, the Dragun Empire, as a human empire, is not so credible.
"Oh? Silver Moon Forest?" Menia said with a thoughtful look on her face.
"Well, it is the location of another branch of our elves, the Silver Moon Elves. After the medieval turmoil more than ten thousand years ago, they lost contact with us. This time, there is news that a passage to the Silver Moon Forest was found in the Eagle Federation, so..."
"I understand. If there is another place where the mother tree seeds exist, the most likely place should be in the Silver Moon Forest." Menia seemed to have thought of something and said.
"That's right, wise Your Highness Menia." Elder Auburn nodded and said.
Hearing this, Ryan had completely understood that the reason why King Starian was not there was to go find this so-called Silver Moon Elf and seek the seeds of the Mother Tree to solve the problem that his own Mother Tree was about to run out of life.
But Ryan felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the timing of this matter.
Because not long after King Starian left, the Mother Tree Cult began to seduce Prince Seidlin, which seemed too coincidental.
"It seems that the news King Starian got is not necessarily true." Menia said with a serious face.
And this is exactly what Ryan thought.
"This"
Hearing Menia's words, Elder Auburn and several other druid elders seemed to have figured out something, and their faces changed!
"However. King Starian's strength should not be in danger of life, but there is a great possibility that he is trapped in a secret realm." Menia thought about it and continued.
Her words made the elves feel relieved.
Seeing this scene, Ryan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Elves are still far behind humans in their schemes.
If the Mother Tree Cult's schemes were placed in the human empire, they would not be very clever, but
"By the way, why was it so easy for that person to descend on the Mother Tree of the Elves? Logically, with the strength of the Mother Tree Andrasir, it shouldn't be so easy for the other party."
At this time, Menia asked again.
"According to ancient records, whether it is the Void Mother Tree Ganisir or our Mother Tree Andrasir, if you trace their roots, it seems that they all originated from a World Tree, Teresir, located deep in the universe."
Elder Auburn thought for a while and said slowly.
"So, if the Void Mother Tree Ganisir wants to descend, the Mother Tree Andrasir, which has the same roots and origins, is its best choice, and it can almost fully exert its power."
Ryan nodded as he listened.
That's it.
No wonder the Mother Tree Cult went to such great lengths to deal with the elves in Ferdinand Forest. Not only did they plan in advance, but they also mobilized almost all the elites of the cult to implement this operation.
But it was also because of this that the Mother Tree Cult was wiped out this time!
The three popes, one chief and two vice-chiefs, were all killed.
In the short term, they should not have the energy to cause any more trouble.
Suddenly, Ryan seemed to sense something and turned around.
Others also turned around.
They saw that Prince Seidlin, whose life and death were unknown after being defeated by Ryan, was not dead.
At this moment, he was stroking his chest, staggering, and walking towards the fallen elven mother tree Andrasir, looking completely lost.
However, it was different from before.
The other party's eyes seemed to have regained clarity at this moment, at least, they were no longer as empty and lifeless as before.
In addition, the other party's breath was extremely weak, so the imperial strongmen on the side did not step forward to stop him.
As for the other pure-blooded elves, they all looked at their prince with complicated expressions, and seemed to not know what to say.
On the one hand, they all knew that their prince seemed to be tempted by the cult in order to give the mother tree a new life.
On the other hand, it was precisely because of their own Prince Seidelin that the tribe suffered such a heavy loss this time, causing the tribe, which was already sparse in number, to be reduced by nearly half.
"Plop!"
Prince Seidelin knelt down beside the elf mother tree Andrassil, crying and repenting:
"It's all my fault"
"I am a sinner of the elves!"
"I woke up, but it's too late after all! Mother tree, please forgive me"
Just as the elders of Auburn were moved and were about to step forward to persuade Prince Seidelin.
Suddenly!
Prince Seidlin exuded a rich green light, and then it turned into dots of green starlight, as if it had merged into the elf mother tree Andrassil.
"Your Highness!" Seeing this scene, Great Elder Auburn and other pure-blooded elves exclaimed.
