Chapter 179 ·dragon

The preparations for the Autumn War have reached the final stage. A large amount of supplies and supplies have been hoarded in the baron’s barracks. The halberdiers, crossbowmen, and musketeers in the barracks are all undergoing the last few days of training.

The Eternal Knights, who had expanded to fifty people, were also organized into the army, and the gunners trained by Sutersen were already ready. After two weeks of training, the gunners could fully operate the artillery proficiently and build artillery positions.

While those recruits who have just joined the army are a little nervous in their hearts, their will to fight is not affected at all. Only war can make them veterans and get a better life and a better environment. Desire, making them more united, morale visibly increased.

On the last day of September, a message came from the Wood Elf Heather, north of Draco.

“Ta~ta~ta~” A group of eternal knights of more than 20 people galloped on the road in the forest. Baron Draco and his flag-holder Adrian, headed by them, were heading towards the hinterland of the forest.

The closer you get to the heather, the stronger the vitality of the natural forest, and the environment presented to Lailun and his party is quite different from the outside world.

The towering ancient giant trees cover the whole sky, and the eye can see that there is only shade and a patch of green. Birds are singing loudly in the forest. In the depths of the forest, several groups of reindeer shuttle between the woodlands, and the woodland is turbulent. In Wangqingquan, the fish swam with their tails, and along the way, one after another huge guiding stones contained strong magic power. The vitality that has been nurtured is transmitted to the sacred tree of gold and silver.

The road between the forests is very narrow, and you can hardly see the distance. If you take a slightly cheaper path, you will fall into the fog in the forest. The baron and his party are still led by the ranger to the heathland.

After a long journey, Lailun finally arrived at the Wood Elf stronghold.

As far as the eye can see, there are only trees except for the trees. The layers of trees hugging each other, reflecting the green dark green, the huge branches cover all the sights of Lailun. Here, there is almost no trace of sunlight. , so deep that the end can hardly be seen, only the towering heather trees shimmer.

The tall and eye-catching heather tree is rooted in the middle of the glade, with red leaves, vibrant dark green trunks, and a lush top cover that almost covers the entire clearing.

The roots of the heather tree are densely covered, and every inch of the land is surrounded by huge roots. A clear spring divides the open space into two parts, north and south. It is almost impossible to see the road. The ground is covered with moss and lantern grass, and horseshoes will splash when stepped on it. Lots of juice.

The light is very dim, only the blue guide stones and the green light spots floating in the air. The light spots are the spirit of the forest, so that they will not fall into the darkness completely. There is a short distance.

The group moved towards the interior of the heather along a huge raised root, and the heather tree rejuvenated by the wood elves changed the climate of the entire forest.

took a deep breath, and the chilly moisture poured into his heart, the human knights shivered subconsciously, while the wood elf rangers were enjoying the breath of the natural forest and felt the comfort from the forest. …

Lailun said nothing, he has been observing the differences in the heather, perhaps because of the strong vitality and Lauren Loren’s special magic net, the entire forest, every grass and every tree is stained with magic The power of the tree seems to have self-awareness. The wolf **** Uric and the nature **** Tal are brothers of the same origin. Uric’s blessing power also gives Lailun an extraordinary sense of nature.

Baron Draco was keenly aware that the tall trees around him conveyed an unusual and strange emotion to him, strange, friendly, friendly, and instinctively fearful.

Not long after, a small gathering place of wood elves was in front of you.

Woodland Lord Olasif Piazza and more than 20 Eternal Guards and more than 60 Woodland Guards, they were already waiting for the arrival of Leron in front of the courtyard of the gathering place, and Baron Draco walked towards them, He said hello: “Lord Olasif, what difficulties did Ace come into in the heather?”

“…” The woodland lord stared at Lailun with a complicated expression. After a pause for three or four seconds, Olasif turned his body to his side and made a way for Lailun to avoid: “Your Excellency Lailun, please come in, Elder Council. And the priest is waiting for you.”

A group of wood elves behind the woodland lord also gave way, their expressions were serious, and they lost the easy-going feeling of the past.

“I don’t think anything good happened.” Lailun frowned, he didn’t believe that the wood elves would use black hands on him, and then strode into the heathland courtyard.

Adrian and a group of Eternal Knights followed Baron Draco and stepped forward. They were unwilling to take a step away. Adrian Gint had just stepped on the moss-covered stone steps. In the next second, more than ten The wood elf spear was aimed at him, the woodland guards stretched their bows and arrows, and fastened their bowstrings. The eternal knights in heavy black armor were not to be outdone, and quickly drew out their finely crafted rune swords, “Swish—”

The tense confrontation caused a great reaction from the Eslais.

Adrian looked at the woodland lord, his cold eyes were uncertain, and the blade of the Dawn Excalibur pointed directly at Olasif: “Wood elf, you are challenging the majesty of Baron Draco!”

“The elder has given an order that no one is allowed to approach except Lailun, including Ace Lai.” Olasif said calmly.

“Eternal knights, put away your weapons, and you, Olasif, we are allies, at least we shouldn’t face each other with swords now!” Lailun, who folded back in front of the courtyard gate of the heathland, said coldly.

“Yes, my lord!”

“as you wish.”

The eternal knights stood on the platform under the stone steps, watching Lailun step by step into the deep courtyard.

After Baron Draco stepped farther, the closer he got to the heather, the stronger the breath of life, and every breath made him feel refreshed, as if the surrounding environment was washing away the lead from his body.

The emotions that Lailun can perceive in his body are also becoming more and more obvious, most of which are a sense of intimacy, or, in other words, an emotion of gratitude.

Unlike the deep darkness when he first entered the forest, Lailun raised his head and looked up, the canopy of the heather, on the thick branches more than ten meters above the ground, a bright ray of light was constantly shining, as if feeling Lailun’s feelings. The breath, the light on the canopy became clearer. …

“The Redeemer Leron-Wald, the hero of the empire, the friend of the forest, welcomes you.” The forest breeze blew, and a wood elf female spellsinger priest floated in front of Leron.

She is tall and slender, with thin and slender features, and her face is painted with brown patterns. She has the appearance of a standard mature female elf. She is wearing a long pleated skirt of emerald green wood elf. Her slender legs are bare at the ankles. The long green hair is **** with several willow branches, suspended two or three meters above the ground: “I am Vilordis, one of the guardians of the sacred tree of gold and silver, and a subject of Queen Marist’s court.”

From the perspective of human aesthetics, Lailun did not think the female wood elves in front of him could be called beautiful: “Hello… Your Excellency Vilordis, the elders of the council and the priests mentioned by Olasif should be more than you. bit.”

“I am the priest of the cursesinger, the council elder, waiting for you right in front of you, please come with me, Your Excellency Lailun.” Vilordis floated away towards the heather tree, motioning Lailun to follow her.

Lailun raised his head and glanced at the light, and after realizing it, he suddenly remembered something.

That dragon egg that is about to hatch is in the wood elves’ heathland!

Ace, the cursesinger priest and the council elder, must have come for the dragon egg!

After taking a deep breath, Lailun calmed down and stepped onto the stone steps covered with moss and lantern grass, approaching the heather tree step by step.

In the open space at the end of the stone steps, the peaceful and beautiful natural scene was reflected in Lailun’s eyes. The colorful flowers and plants, the faint blue light, and the refreshing fragrance poured into the nostrils. At the same time, Baron Draco noticed that a tree with seven or eight A tall, tall, human-shaped oak tree stands beside the heather.

The rough and thick bark covers the outline of a complete humanoid, with large sturdy branches and roots wrapped around the whole body. The leaves on the ancient tree people are dark green, with intertwined tops, and the head can barely be recognized. Twisted and deep amber texture with a faint yellow sheen.

The female elf suspended in midair said to the tree man in a special language: “Ahksi-do-ka-koh.”

Lailun understood the meaning naturally, “Oak elder, human, here we come.”

“Wu-kah-koh, fu-du-dah-sok-man—” The tree-man’s rainbow-like amber eyes opened, and a hoarse voice like two rough bark rubbed echoed in Lailun’s ears, the tall oak tree He slowly lifted a tree leg, and the roots that were not deep in the ground brought up large tracts of soil. Very slowly, he turned around and stared at Lailun.

“I have many things to tell you, Human.” The Wood Elf Spellsinger translated for Baron Draco: “It is Elder Treant, ‘Oakshield’ Dahda-Herlock, as you can see , the elder is an oak tree, and it speaks the language of the tree people, so I will translate it for you.”

One of the functions of Ace Spellsinger is that they can communicate with the Treants, so as to understand the needs of nature. Spellsingers can even transmit information through trees.

“No need, Your Excellency Vilordis, I can understand the language of the tree people.” Lailun raised his hand, indicating that Vierodis did not need to translate for him, the female elf’s face was full of doubt: “Your Excellency Lailun, human beings are If you can’t learn the tree language, I will translate it…”

“He-can-hear-understand.” The tree man elder said, completely dispelling Vilordis’ suspicion, and the female elf was even more surprised by Lailun. …

The elder tree man opened his mouth, his voice hoarse like wood rubbing, and Amber’s eyes were full of rational brilliance: “Human, in you, I feel the blessing of God, and there is a kind of forest that belongs to the forest. Your special affinity, my clansmen, the spirits of the forest welcome you very much.”

Lailun slightly nodded towards the ancient tree person, showing his respect for the elder: “Respected ancient tree person elder.”

Lumberjacks all know that the tree can be judged by its growth rings to determine how long it has grown. Nearly ten thousand years.

“Human, a dragon egg, means – hope, forest recovery, you know its origin – history, right?” The ancient tree man did not go around the bend, its words are very direct and clear, far simpler than human language or elf language More, it is easier to understand.

“Yes, I know.” Lailun nodded, and the magic affinity shown by the ancient tree man was far beyond his imagination. Every time he spoke, the surrounding magic wind became stronger.

“Well, human, this dragon egg has absorbed the vitality of the heather tree, and the young dragon in the shell is about to be born…” The distorted face of the forest council elder Dakhda Herlock is very calm and full of reason. It was this tiny human being in front of him, with a very peaceful attitude: “The moment you appeared, I felt that the young dragon in the egg was excited…”

“I feel it too, it seems to be waking up.” Lailun knew that he had nothing to hide in front of the ancient tree people, so he simply told the truth.

“Having a dragon is a natural and pure thing, and the life energy of the heather is also guided into the guiding stone. The Forest Council is very grateful for your approach.” Dakhda Herlock paused for a while, and its speaking frequency was extremely high. Slow, it takes more than 20 seconds to finish a sentence: “In return, the Forest Council will not pursue your concealment…”

“Thank you so much.” Lailun let out a sigh of relief.

The heather land belongs to the wood elves, and how to use the heather land is also the freedom of the wood elves. Lailun put the dragon eggs on the heather tree to hatch, although it was a last resort, but he placed the dragon eggs without the wood elves knowing. It’s a very good result to hold yourself accountable.

“Elder Herlock, how long will it take for the young dragon to break its shell?” Lailun raised his head and looked up at the bright spots of light on the canopy of the heather. He was waiting for the scene of the young dragon breaking out of its shell.

“Soon….soon…” The ancient tree man’s hoarse voice was low.

A few seconds later, a layer of fine liquid oozes out from the surface of the dragon egg, flowing like liquid gold. With a scorching high temperature, the entire heather tree swayed with the changes of the dragon egg, swaying its branches and leaves, shining beams of light. Through the dense canopy, the entire forest is illuminated.

“The flame is born with the dragon, huh…” The ancient tree man’s face was full of expectations, it stretched out its twisted arm, and the end branches were wrapped around the heather tree, it was sending its own power to the heather tree. , and at the same time ordered: “Start the awakening ceremony…”

“In the name of the mother goddess Aisha~in the name of Ariel~in the name of Queen Marist~the awakening of the earth spirit~~” Spellsinger Vilodis nodded lightly, she waved her staff, Awakens the life force hidden in nature.

The plants in the whole heather field grow wildly visibly to the naked eye, from breaking out of the ground, to branching and budding, until they grow into shape. The process of more than ten years is completed in just over twenty seconds. The elves were still human, and they all watched the changes in their surroundings with amazement.

And the dragon egg on the canopy of the heather is also wrapped in a layer of life energy, and the light is getting more and more dazzling.

“Card~~”

“Kaka~~”

The crisp cracking sound of also caught Lailun’s attention.

“dragon!”
