Chapter 647

"It seems that besides providing favorable conditions for the rapid growth of plants, the God Tree doesn't seem to have any other function? Right?"

Lin Cheng's question made Valkyrie Ailin's little head a bit confused; what did he mean by "besides providing favorable conditions for the rapid growth of plants, it has no other function"?

The God Tree was clearly very important.

Although that was said, Valkyrie Ailin suddenly thought that the God Tree had always been passed down by everyone as very important, but where exactly was it important?

At this moment, she really couldn't say.

"In short... the tree is very important." Valkyrie Ailin puffed out her cheeks and pouted, stubborn.

Looking at her like this, Lin Cheng had already guessed roughly.

"Then let me ask beforehand." He took out a small notebook to record.

"Hmm? Can the God Tree be eaten? Does it bear any special fruits?"

"It can't be eaten; every hundred thousand years, the God Tree produces a seed that can grow another God Tree."

"Fine... that's like saying nothing." Lin Cheng rubbed his forehead in speechlessness.

"Continuing to ask you."

"Okay!"

Valkyrie Ailin nodded quickly, like an elementary school student called by the teacher, standing straight, inexplicably nervous and expectant.

"Does the God Tree produce any special items? Like some Life Water condensed from rich vitality?"

"No... but the sap of the God Tree does possess very rich vitality."

"Can it be used to treat injuries?"

"Never tried; the God Tree is very important, no elf dares to treat the God Tree like that, and there's no need; elf priests possess powerful healing magic. If one priest isn't enough, then ten, a hundred, a thousand; it is said that a thousand Seventh-Order elf priests can perform divine arts. It is rumored that they resurrected the first elf empress, allowing her to successfully escape from the Underworld, but the cost was also very high."

"Understood."

Lin Cheng listened and quickly recorded the rumor Valkyrie Ailin mentioned in his small notebook.

Rumors of resurrection and such... it sounded like it had been exaggerated.

However, if it were the elf race at its peak in the past, it might really be possible.

As for now, it was a question whether the elf race even had a hundred Seventh-Order elf priests. Lin Cheng casually wrote "The truth remains to be verified" in his small notebook.

"Then besides the characteristic of accelerating plant growth, does the God Tree have other functions?"

After thinking for a while, Valkyrie Ailin drooped her head, full of frustration, and said stubbornly.

"The God Tree is very important!"

"Right! We will pray to the God Tree!!!" This was a certain elf girl's last stubbornness. But it was still useless.

"Hmm, spiritual faith as expected." Lin Cheng nodded calmly; in fact, it was just that. He thought Lin Cheng would have a reaction, but Valkyrie Ailin could never have imagined that Lin Cheng would be so indifferent after hearing about praying to the God Tree.

Did he not have faith?

The Empress once said that people without faith are like lonely travelers lost in the forest, and elves without a lifelong love are truly too terrible.

Valkyrie Ailin thought terrifyingly, silently clenching her fists to cheer herself on; she would definitely make Lin Cheng find his faith.

The fact was, Lin Cheng, coming from modern life, did not need faith; he believed in science, or rather, his faith was himself, and wise sayings like "nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets their mind to it."

Valkyrie Ailin wanted Lin Cheng to have faith like her, but instead, she was persuaded by Lin Cheng, who was firm in his scientific beliefs; even Valkyrie Ailin didn't expect that she would have a day where she would give up useless prayers and believe in science instead. Of course, that is a story for another time.

After recording, Lin Cheng closed his small notebook with an unsatisfied look and threw it into his system space.

Valkyrie Ailin on the side looked confused; if you didn't know, you would think Lin Cheng had some special hobby. In fact, Lin Cheng was lamenting that Valkyrie Ailin knew too little.

As an heir to science, he was serious about research; even if it was just a tree, as long as this tree had value, and had value to him, he would study it seriously.

For the elf race, the spiritual significance of the Faith God Tree was greater than its physical significance; from Valkyrie Ailin's mouth, it could be learned that the God Tree actually only had the factor of rapid plant growth within a range, and others were either unknown or simply could not attract attention.

But when the human race talked about the elf race's God Tree, all the colleagues in the Blacksmith Guild believed it was a god-level material that contained time, which could be used to forge divine artifacts, but they didn't know what specific divine artifacts could be forged.

There didn't seem to be any famous divine artifacts within the elf race either; it was estimated that even if there were, Lin Cheng didn't know about the human race's divine artifacts, and Lin Cheng hadn't heard of them either.

Inexplicably sad, his seniority was too low; he wasn't even qualified to know about divine artifacts.

The Emperor Tianwu Empire had no divine artifacts; Lin Cheng absolutely didn't believe it, but divine artifacts wouldn't appear easily, or divine artifacts with self-awareness couldn't be studied by blacksmiths, so it was normal that he hadn't heard of them.

He should have a chance to come into contact with them in the future.

It was a pity that there was no perfect equipment here, and he wasn't a student majoring in botany; it was a pity, but even so, a conclusion could still be drawn. ===== CHAPTER 1384 =====

The elf race's God Tree was not as magical as rumored; most of it was exaggerated facts, and whether it had the value of a forging material remained to be verified.

Even for magic wands, it would be better to use metal materials with better magic conductivity; wooden staffs and the like were just shoddy work by a group of laymen in forging.

What serious blacksmith would forge a wooden staff? No matter how awesome the wood, it couldn't change the fact that it was afraid of fire.

After everything was made clear to Valkyrie Ailin, including how to tell the other elves, Lin Cheng told her everything.

She nodded in understanding.

"Go." Lin Cheng patted Valkyrie Ailin's shoulder with approval.

Valkyrie Ailin was, after all, more reliable than Qian Hui; at least she wouldn't let him down. He once suspected that it wasn't that Qian Hui had become stupid, but that she had become lazy.

Lazy to think, so she became more carefree; she looked like a fool, but it also had a bit of cute charm.

This was also related to her original personality, and coupled with the current environmental factors, it wasn't that she relied on him too much, but that the status of being Lin Cheng's lady gave her a sense of security, and she instinctively no longer needed to care about some things.

He believed!!

But if Qian Hui could have an opponent, then she would have to pick up her clever brain again.

At the entrance of the blacksmith shop.

Valkyrie Ailin appeared again, instantly attracting the eyes of all the elves; their eyes were filled with expectation.

But Valkyrie Ailin didn't dare to look at them, and didn't even dare to meet their eyes.

The elves were a bit confused as to what was wrong with Valkyrie Ailin.

Immediately, she explained the ins and outs of the matter to the other elves, telling them Lin Cheng's original words truthfully. The elves were very angry and unconvinced by Valkyrie Ailin's change; she was as humble as a slave at the mercy of others, having lost her freedom and her own will.

"Valkyrie Ailin, did that human threaten you?"

The eldest of the four elf sisters, who were the leaders, immediately associated it with Valkyrie Ailin's change; the evil Lin Cheng behind the scenes must have threatened Valkyrie Ailin, and the kind-hearted her couldn't bear to see her compatriots persecuted. Thus, she heroically sacrificed herself, suffering under the demon, just so they could escape smoothly.

However, the era of the elf's decline had passed; as long as they found the Faith God Tree, they would inevitably be able to restore the elf race to its former glory. ===== CHAPTER 1385 =====
