Chapter 3005
Although Ancient Elf Language was used, the content expressed was very simple.
But it was such a simple sentence that immediately caused a huge reaction. A series of sparks exploded inside all the puppets that were still entangled with the three vanguards. After the sparks, seven of the puppets were paralyzed immediately, two of the remaining six were kicked into the abyss before self-destructing, and the last four puppets turned in place, and then attacked the enemies that had densely gathered in front of the team together.
So Xia De and the two Thirteen-Ring gentlemen didn't talk nonsense, and immediately moved forward with the four puppets. And with the help of these powerful construct creatures, the forward speed after the team restarted was even faster than before.
The bloody slaughter caused the mountain of corpses and sea of blood on the stone bridge to be forcibly separated. Two minutes later, the small team finally reached the front of the temple.
Just now when the puppets walked out of the gate, they had already pushed open the two metal giant gates tens of meters high, so the group entered the indoor part of the temple directly. The purple-black air around disappeared, and the three Diviners then revoked the Anti-Death Barrier, but others in the team still needed to turn around to eliminate those monsters trying to enter the temple.
However, fortunately, this battle ended here. The moment the left hand of the first ghoul whose right hand was cut off by moonlight reached into the temple range, the whole temple vibrated suddenly.
Because everyone was indoors at this time, they could not see the eyes of the two giant elf statues standing on both sides of the temple flashing at the same time. The next second, a white light lit up outside the temple, and after the light disappeared, two-thirds of the monsters on and under the stone bridge exploded into fly ash, and even the Ancient Witch didn't see what kind of move this was.
Subsequently, the remaining four elf puppets pushed the gate, and the temple gate closed amidst the rumbling sound. When the last trace of the door crack disappeared, the noise outside the door also disappeared completely.
The people who breathed a sigh of relief finally had time to check the situation of the team and take care of the wounded, and Xia De, who turned around holding a light ball and looked at the huge entrance hall where they were at the moment, found that the structure of the room was very simple. On the left and right walls, there was a fifty-meter-high elf statue standing with arms crossed on the chest every twenty meters or so, and there were murals on the wall between the statues.
"It seems that this is describing the ancient war of sealing the remains of the World Tree in the Second Era."
Seeing that there was no other situation around for the time being, Mr. Eldron also summoned light to illuminate those towering murals:
"God Caller, you know the most about the stories of the forest. Are there any differences between the descriptions on these murals and the stories you know?"
"I need to take a closer look. The two at the door should be the initial stories. Look, this is the World Tree collapsing. The departure of the Ancient God is the beginning of the forest story."
In the mural that the two looked up at, the giant tree with roots deep in the earth and canopy piercing through the clouds occupied most of the area in the picture. Relatively speaking, the small people were kowtowing under the tree. Judging from the clothing and pointed ear characteristics of those people, most of them were elves.
The belief in the Ancient God was widely spread among all races, but since this was an elf ruin, the elves on the mural must be the majority.
It's just that the mural did not depict the specific process of the Ancient God's departure, and I don't know if the ancient elves did not witness it with their own eyes, or if the process could not be drawn at all, or it was simply avoided.
The next mural was a branch falling into the forest and taking root and sprouting, but the tree did not grow toward the sky, but grew toward the underground after taking root:
"The inverted tree..."
The team did not suffer any casualties just now. Although some people were indeed injured, it was not life-threatening. Therefore, after simple treatment, the team continued to move forward, following Xia De and Mr. Eldron who were observing the murals.
There was no light inside the ruin, so it could only be illuminated by light balls summoned by Ringed Shushi. And the subsequent story was generally about the same as what Xia De knew. The rooted and sprouted trees took away many little people with "roots," and then attracted armies from all directions to come and crusade.
The scene of the war used eight huge murals on the left and right to depict it. The facial features and clothing details of many characters who were obviously highlighted were vivid, and there were even several angels among them. They were probably the "protagonists" in that ancient war, the heroes of that era.
It's a pity that even if it was recorded like this, the latecomers didn't know their stories and legends at all.
"I know this one. This Elf King also held the crown in my hand. I knew who he was when I saw his face."
Emilia said in a low voice, but now was not the time to talk about ancient legends, so the group continued to move forward.
The subsequent murals were depicting scenes such as banquets, meetings, and scenes similar to knighting ceremonies after the war ended. In the penultimate mural, a group of people in the picture stood together with heavy expressions, looking at a map very similar to the shape of the modern Vista Forest, but there was a huge penetrating crack on the map in the mural.
And the last mural was the five seats that Xia De was very familiar with standing on the edge of the open space, and the elves were singing and dancing on the open space to celebrate the victory.
The narrative of this story was obviously not smooth at the end, and some important information seemed to be missing in the middle. And after looking at the last mural and continuing to move forward, it was the end of this palace.
When everyone's eyes looked there, before the light balls illuminated the darkness, light actively lit up in the darkness.
The greenish color outlined the shape of a tree. As the light became stronger, they also saw that it was a glowing big tree planted on a high platform.
The roots, trunk, and canopy of the big tree were all glowing in a greenish translucent manner, and the light flowed inside the tree. If it weren't for the "Clockmaker" standing in front of that greenish tree, Xia De would probably have observed it more carefully.
"You are finally here. It seems that my task in this boring night is also coming to an end."
The woman with a glass bead embedded with a watch dial in her left eye and thirteen needles tied to her hair tips seemed to have been waiting for the group here for a long time. She did not take advantage of the ruin to suppress everyone's perception and launch a surprise attack just now, and at this moment, facing everyone's eyes, she had no intention of summoning a life ring:
"I originally thought that those ancient elves left such a large ruin, they should put some valuable things inside, but I didn't expect that they really just used this place to record history."
She leaned against the trunk of that glowing big tree, not nervous at all because she was facing more than twenty people alone. The true eye on the right looked at Emilia in the crowd, and then remembered the last time she used the Language of Sublimation to sneak attack, and then was killed by the Great Elf.
Emilia was not afraid of her at all, but pretended to be fierce and glared at her.
So the woman in front of the tree smiled:
"The only thing here that is still considered valuable is those construct creatures. That Miss Pawo of the 【Truth Society】 originally promised that they would be reliable after modification, but now aren't they turned against you by a word from you?"
She said to Emilia, and then continued to complain about her allies:
"If you ask me, the 【Truth Society】 is more famous than our 【Tree Hole Society】, it's just that they are very good at promoting themselves. Everyone is an illegal organization in the eyes of the church, why can those who engage in illegal experiments be respectfully called 'Professors of the Truth Society', and we who study time travel can only be called 'that group of people in the Tree Hole Society'?"
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Xia De was sure he would laugh out loud.
"And those lunatics in the 【Crow Club】, if it weren't for the guarantee of the Ancient One this time, I wouldn't cooperate with these people no matter what. Cooperating with demons will be unlucky for a long time;
The 【Blood Spirit School】 goes without saying, 'Weeper' Hermons is beaten by you and runs away every time he appears. Now, besides always being seriously injured and recuperating, the only impression he gives me is that he runs very fast;
On the contrary, the Ringed Shushi of the 【Tyranny Club】 are ambitious and seem to be good partners, but it's a pity that their focus is not on Vista Forest now."
She had probably been waiting here for a long time, so she had a stomach full of words. After finishing these nagging words, she pointed to the tree she was leaning on behind her:
"This beautiful tree was also left by the ancient elves. I don't know what kind of tree species this is, but in short, its only function is to carry memories. As long as this tree is alive, the memories contained in it will always exist. It's a pity that under normal circumstances, this is something that only elves can use. Probably what is inside is also related to that ancient war."
She stood up straight to let her back temporarily leave the tree, and then waved to Emilia very perfunctorily:
"Then let's start, elf. However, is the other you not here this time?"
"What? Another what?"
Emilia really didn't understand. Xia De was about to speak, but the "Clockmaker" smiled and said:
"It's good not to understand. Although you brought so many people, because of the rules of the Time War, this time it is a fair one-on-one duel between the two of us."
As she said, the Thirteen-Ring life ring behind her finally appeared. Because the witches had shared information, the church and the academy also knew that she had been promoted to the Thirteen-Ring, so they were not surprised.
It was just that when Xia De and others retreated one after another from behind Emilia, Miss Oulannuode stepped forward and stood beside the little elf:
"Sorry, I think this shouldn't be one-on-one this time. As for whether it is fair, I will evaluate it after we finish fighting."
The elegant and intellectual half-elf witch gave people a feeling very different from ordinary people. Even if she stood in the crowd silently, Brittany Oulannuode had the ability to attract people's attention. And when she stood out like this, she looked even more unique.
