Chapter 469 Seed of the Mother Tree
Although Prince Seidlin made an irreparable mistake this time, most pure-blooded elves, including Great Elder Auburn, did not think of making things difficult for him.
At most, they would put him under house arrest and wait for King Starian to come back and let the king deal with him.
But the scene in front of them moved them all. Many pure-blooded elves quickly ran to the elven mother tree Andrassil, where Prince Seidlin disappeared.
"The evil god's bewitching has caused great harm to people." 'Red Queen' Menia couldn't help but sigh and said.
Even someone as powerful as Prince Seidlin could be lured or bewitched by the evil god accidentally, which is why the empire's attitude towards cults is so firm.
Once the cult bewitches the people on a large scale and causes the evil god to really come, it will be disastrous.
Just when everyone felt inexplicably sad about the death of the prince, suddenly, the elven mother tree Andrassil, which should have been dead long ago, actually emitted a faint green glow.
At first, it was barely detectable, and only the epic-level masters could sense it, but then it became stronger and stronger
. Moreover, the faint light spread from the huge trunk to every tiny branch of the mother tree.
"What is this?"
This scene naturally surprised everyone in the empire, including Ryan, who was a little surprised for a moment.
Could it be that the mother tree has resurrected?
This is too magical!
The next second, all the green light suddenly disappeared.
Suddenly!
With a "click", the huge trunk actually split from the center, and a seed containing rich green light slowly rose from it.
"This is the seed of the mother tree!" Elder Auburn was so excited that he was almost incoherent!
"What! The seed of the mother tree?"
"How is this possible?"
"Hasn't the mother tree been unable to produce seeds long ago because of the incident in the Middle Ages? How could it be so sudden?" The elf elders on the side were all amazed.
"It should be the true spirit of Prince Seidlin that made up for the defects of the mother tree Andrasir before, so that the mother tree has the ability to generate the mother tree seed again." Elder Nesha, who was standing by, said her guess after calming down.
"That should be the case!"
"This is the only explanation."
"Great! We finally have the mother tree seed again."
For a moment, the elves were mixed with sadness and joy, both saddened by the death of the prince and happy about the appearance of the mother tree seed.
Including Anna beside Ryan, they all looked excited and sad.
"We need to plant the mother tree seed immediately in the appropriate soil, but because of the destruction of the defense crystal, we do not have enough energy to activate the mother tree seed in a short time."
At this time, another elf who seemed to be quite old said to Elder Auburn.
"Let's start first. In addition, there is..." Orders were issued from Elder Auburn.
Because of the appearance of the Mother Tree Seed, the pureblooded elves at the scene had a noticeable change in their aura. From the original grief and depression, they began to feel full of vitality.
For a moment, the elves, who had suffered heavy losses in this cult incident, felt like they were reborn from the ashes.
This surprised Ryan!
As long as you are not defeated by difficulties, it will eventually make you stronger.
"If it weren't for you this time, I'm afraid the situation of the elves would be even worse." At this time, a familiar mature female voice sounded beside Ryan.
Menia, who had a graceful figure and was dressed in a red wizard robe, slowly walked over.
"Your Highness Menia." Ryan bowed slightly and said.
"Ryan, last time in Meister, I felt that you had great potential, but your growth rate was far beyond my expectations."
"Remember that I gave you a dragon scale of Tassa at that time, but now it seems that it was unnecessary."
"Your Highness Menia, your concern at that time still gave me great encouragement and confidence."
"Really?" Menia glanced at Ryan with her beautiful eyes, knowing that this was a compliment from Ryan.
"Of course."
"By the way, you should know why I came, Ryan, is your ancestor..." Sure enough,
this question was asked.
Ryan was naturally prepared for this.
"Your Highness Menia, as far as I know, my ancestors are not descendants of the imperial royal family. In fact, I am also quite surprised."
"Perhaps, it is a return of blood?"
"I once read in ancient books that before the establishment of the empire, there were many kingdoms named after dragons on this land."
Ryan attributed his own extremely high dragon bloodline to the return of blood.
"Reversion of bloodline? It's not impossible, but the probability is too low." Menia looked at Ryan with her beautiful eyes, and seemed to agree with Ryan's explanation, and said slowly.
In fact, Ryan could see that Menia didn't really believe it.
But he was not worried, because sometimes, when one's strength reaches his level, unless it is treason, some things are not easy to investigate.
At this time, many people looked up at the eastern sky, and saw a large number of imperial airships, about twenty of them, heading quickly towards Ferdinand City.
Obviously, this is the follow-up support force of the empire.
"Huh? Your Highness Menia, is this the follow-up reinforcement of the empire?"
"Yes, the second batch of support forces of the empire."
Soon, as the airship docked, the 'Red Queen' Menia, as the representative of the imperial royal family and the highest person in charge of the empire on the scene, was naturally very busy, and had no time to say anything to Ryan.
"Ryan, you did a great job!"
At this time, the sect leader Moria came over, with a look of great satisfaction on his face, and patted Ryan on the shoulder.
"Sorry, sect leader, I blew up the Destroyer. That... As the school's valuable asset, I am willing to compensate." Ryan said to Moria with a guilty look.
After all, since he got the Destroyer Golem, Ryan knew very well the position of the Destroyer in Moria's heart.
It is no exaggeration to say that Moria has high hopes for the Destroyer as the foundation of the Bixiu Construction School.
"One Destroyer can be exchanged for killing a demigod-level evil god clone. It is a good deal no matter how you look at it! Ryan, you did the right thing!" Moria waved his hand and comforted Ryan.
"In addition, you are wrong about one thing! Ryan, it is you, the talent, who is the most valuable asset of the school, not the Destroyer Golem!"
Moria's words made Ryan's heart tremble slightly.
"I just went to see it. Although the golem is badly damaged, some of its structures can still be repaired."
"I think, as long as we organize people to study it carefully, even if we can't make an identical Destroyer, we can make a super giant golem with about 70% to 80% of its power."
Moria said, pointing to the location of the Destroyer's wreckage.
"That's good." Ryan's eyes lit up and nodded.
"I have sent a message to the school. It won't be long before the school will send someone over. By the way, your mentor Mogaro will also come." Moria seemed to think of the things in the Walzig ruins and smiled.
"Is mentor Mogaro coming too? That's great." Ryan nodded and said with a smile.
"Yes, your friend is here. We'll talk about it later. I have to arrange for someone to collect the remains of the Destroyer first." Moria glanced at the side and said with a smile.
"Okay, sect leader."
Luther and Lambert walked over together.
"Mr. Ryan, you have once again refreshed my expectations of your strength."
"Mr. Luther, Mr. Lambert, thank you both."
"Sir Ryan, you're welcome. I'm not just helping you. This is also a kind of experience for me. I feel that if I settle down for a few more days, I will be able to enter that realm." Lambert said with a smile on his face.
"Oh? That's great. Congratulations to Sir Lambert in advance." Ryan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and congratulated .
He was not too surprised about this.
After all, Lambert has been very close to the realm of Sword Saint since the last time.
This time, he has experienced several wars and even bathed in the aftermath of the demigod war. It is normal to have some insights.
"Sir Lambert, you..." Luther on the side obviously didn't know about this situation. At this moment, he was shocked!
"Alas! I don't know whether it is my misfortune or luck to become friends with you two. It's really too depressing!" Luther shook his head in distress.
Hearing this, Ryan and Lambert laughed.
After a while, Lambert and Luther also left.
At this time, Elder Nesha came over accompanied by Anna and said apologetically:
"Sir Ryan, there is one more thing. I wonder if I can trouble you again?"
"Oh? Please go ahead, Elder Nesha." Ryan was a little puzzled.
"Well, it's like this. There are still many elves in the surrounding area who have fallen into the hands of other cults. But in a short period of time, we are afraid that we will not be able to rescue them all, so we have just reached an agreement with the Empire to carry out rescue together immediately."
"And I heard that you came to Ferdinand Forest this time for Anna." At this point, Elder Nesha glanced at Anna beside him and said.
Ryan immediately understood.
The elves wanted him to participate in the rescue operation, but the Empire seemed to say that his coming this time was a private act, and the subsequent actions were in his own hands.
Therefore, Elder Nesha came to him in person.
"Of course, all this is not free, we will give you enough generous rewards."
At the same time, in a camp not far from Ferdinand City.
A group of people wearing black robes with black flames on their cuffs were evacuating quickly under the leadership of an old man.
"The Mother Tree Cult's action should have failed this time. We should withdraw."
"Deputy Pope, how could that be? The Mother Tree Cult has deployed all its forces this time. How could it fail?" Several subordinates nearby showed puzzled expressions.
After all, they could observe the giant golden tree in the air even from a distance of dozens of kilometers.
This is at least the strength of a demigod!
Even this failed?
How strong is the Empire?
"Just now, more than 20 large airships of the Empire passed by one after another. What do you think would happen if the Mother Tree Cult had the upper hand?" The old man did not answer directly, but asked in return.
"There will definitely be a battle!" A subordinate immediately replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, the others also showed a look of realization.
Because just now, after several airships of the Empire arrived over Ferdinand City, no battle had started. Obviously, the situation there has been controlled by the Empire.
"Sir, you are so wise."
"Retreat quickly!"
"Yes, sir."
A secret camp located dozens of kilometers away from the northwest corner of Ferdinand City.
"Sir, are we going to retreat now? There should be many scattered elves nearby. We..."
"Retreat immediately." A middle-aged man in black knight armor said in a deep voice.
"If I am right, the elves should search Ferdinand Forest together with the Dragun Empire immediately. It is not a wise decision to stay here at this time."
"Didn't we see that huge red dragon before, and it was obviously injured and fled?"
"Although that is the case, we have not received any signals from the Mother Tree Cult and the insider. There must be an accident."
"To be safe, retreat quickly."
"Yes, sir."
Similar scenes happened in various places in Ferdinand Forest.
When Ryan and other powerful men of the empire conducted a sweeping search of the cult in Ferdinand Forest, they achieved little results.
Most of the cults had already evacuated, only the members of the Plague Cult remained in the camp. They were quickly surrounded and annihilated by the strong men of the Empire and the Elves, and many captured pure-blooded elves were rescued.
When Ryan returned to Ferdinand City again, Elder Auburn and Elder Nesa came to him.
"Sir Ryan, thank you very much for your continuous help. Here are some gifts from our tribe to you." Elder Auburn pointed to a tray held by a pure-blooded elf woman and said.
There were two things on the tray.
The first was the 'heart of the ancient tree' that Ryan had seen before, but this time, there were ten of them!
The second item was a talisman.
Although Ryan did not touch it, he could clearly feel the powerful energy fluctuations lingering on it. It was obviously a rare and precious high-level magic weapon.
Anna on the side blinked her beautiful eyes. As a member of the elves, she naturally knew how valuable the gift was.
Needless to say, the preciousness of the heart of the ancient tree.
The latter, the amulet, was called the Heart of Ferdinand. It was a token given by the elves to their most distinguished guests. With it, the holder could make a request to the elves.
At the same time, it was a high-level magical weapon.
"Great Elder Auburn, these things are too precious. I think I just did what I should do." Ryan waved his hand and declined.
"Sir Ryan."
After some humility, the elves were very determined and hoped that Ryan would accept it.
"Great Elder Auburn, can I choose to change the reward?" Ryan looked at the fern leaf shoulder guards on the other party, and couldn't help but think of something, and said.
"Hmm?"
Hearing Ryan's words, Great Elder Auburn and Elder Nesha couldn't help but exchange glances.
Could it be that the refusal of this Lord Ryan just now was just an excuse, and his real purpose was to get other more precious treasures?
"Great Elder Auburn, I heard from Anna that the elves have their own unique understanding and skills in leather armor making. I think, if it doesn't involve confidentiality, can you arrange a leather master for me? I want to learn about the relevant leather armor making of the elves?"
"What?"
This completely unexpected answer made Great Elder Auburn and Elder Nesha's eyes widen, with a dumbfounded expression.
This Lord Ryan actually ignored such a precious gift in front of him, and instead wanted to learn what, leather making?
"Lord Ryan, are you talking about leather armor making?" After calming down, Great Elder Auburn confirmed again.
"Yes, I want to find a leatherworking master from the elves to learn from. As for the gifts here, I will accept the amulet, and as for the others, just treat them as the cost of learning. Is that okay with you?"
"Sir Ryan, in fact, Elder Nesha is the top master of leatherworking in our tribe. But this gift." Elder Auben continued to persuade.
Anna excitedly pulled Ryan's sleeve gently and whispered, "Ryan, do you really want to learn leatherworking from the teacher?"
In the end, Ryan, who couldn't refuse the kindness, accepted the amulet and three ancient tree hearts.
Elder Auben said that all the materials Ryan needed during his leatherworking studies would be provided free of charge by the elves.
Soon, Ryan gave the three ancient tree hearts directly to Moria.
This naturally made Moria very happy. The ancient tree hearts could be used to make radiation protection devices. In this way, when the subsequent schools go in and out to explore the ruins of Valzig, more people can enter at one time.
