Chapter 3052 Ancient Memory
Although the ancient Elvish language was used, the content expressed was very simple.
But such a simple sentence immediately caused a huge reaction. Sparks burst out from the inside of all the puppets that were still entangled with the three vanguards. After the sparks, seven of the puppets were immediately paralyzed. Two of the remaining six were kicked into the abyss before they exploded. The last four puppets turned around and attacked the enemies that had already gathered in front of the team.
So Xia De and the two thirteenth ring gentlemen didn't waste any words and immediately continued to move forward with the four puppets. With the help of these powerful constructed creatures, the team's forward speed after starting again was even faster than before.
The bloody massacre forcibly separated the sea of blood and corpses on the stone bridge. Two minutes later, the team finally arrived near the temple.
When the puppets came out of the door just now, they had already pushed open the two metal doors that were tens of meters high, so the group directly entered the indoor part of the temple. The purple-black air around them disappeared, and the three fortune-tellers revoked the anti-death barrier, but the others in the team still had to turn around and eliminate the monsters that tried to enter the temple.
Fortunately, the battle ended here. When the left hand of the first zombie whose right hand was cut off by the moonlight reached into the temple, the whole temple suddenly shook.
Because everyone was indoors at this time, they could not see the eyes of the two huge elf statues standing on both sides of the temple flickering at the same time. The next second, a white light appeared outside the temple. When the light disappeared, two-thirds of the monsters above and below the stone bridge exploded into ashes. Even the ancient witch could not figure out what this trick was.
Then the remaining four elven puppets pushed the door, and the door of the temple closed with a rumbling sound. When the last crack of the door disappeared, the noise outside the door also disappeared completely.
The relieved people now had time to check the team's situation and take care of the wounded. Shade turned around and held the ball of light to look at the huge entrance hall where he was at the moment, and found that the structure of the room was very simple. On the walls on both sides, every twenty meters or so, there was a fifty-meter-high elf statue standing with its arms crossed in front of its chest, and on the walls between the statues there were murals.
"It seems that this is describing the ancient war that sealed the remains of the world tree during the Second Era."
Seeing that there was no other situation around for the time being, Mr. Elderon also called out light to illuminate those towering murals:
"Godcaller, you know the most about the stories of the woodlands. Are there any differences between the descriptions in these murals and the stories you know?"
"I need to take a closer look. The two paintings at the door should depict the original story. You see, this is the collapse of the world tree, and the departure of the ancient gods is the beginning of the story of the forest."
In the mural they looked up at, a giant tree with roots deep in the earth and a crown that pierced the clouds occupied most of the picture. Relatively small people were bowing under the tree. Judging from their clothing and pointed ears, most of them were elves.
The belief in the ancient gods is widespread among all races, but since this is the remains of the elves, the elves on the murals must be the majority.
However, the murals do not depict the specific process of the ancient gods' departure. It is not known whether the ancient elves did not witness it with their own eyes, or the process could not be painted at all, or they were simply avoiding the topic.
The next mural shows a branch falling into the forest and taking root. However, the tree does not grow toward the sky. Instead, it grows toward the ground after taking root:
"The upside-down tree."
The team had not lost any members just now, and although some people were injured, their lives were not in danger. Therefore, after a simple treatment, the team followed Mr. Shade and Mr. Elderon who were observing the murals and continued to move forward.
There was no light inside the ruins, so the only way to illuminate it was by the light balls summoned by the ring magicians. The following story was roughly the same as what Shade knew. The trees that took root and sprouted used their "roots" to capture many villains, and then attracted armies from all directions to come and attack.
The war scene was depicted in eight huge murals, and the facial features and armor details of many prominent characters were vivid, including several angels. They were probably the "protagonists" in the ancient war and the heroes of that era.
It’s a pity that even though they were recorded like this, later generations are completely unaware of their stories and legends.
"I know this, the Elven King who once held the crown I hold. I saw his face and knew who he was."
Emilia said in a low voice, but now is not the time to talk about ancient legends, so the group continued to move forward.
Subsequent murals depict banquets, meetings, and medal-awarding ceremonies after the war. In the penultimate mural, a group of people stood together with solemn expressions, looking at a map that was very similar in shape to the modern Vestal Woodlands, except that there was a huge through-hole on the map in the mural.
The last mural showed five chairs that Shade was very familiar with, standing at the edge of the open space, with elves singing and dancing in the open space to celebrate their victory.
The story is obviously not smooth at the end, and some important information seems to be missing in the middle. After viewing the last mural, continue forward and you will reach the end of the palace.
When everyone looked there, before the colorful balls of light illuminated the darkness, light automatically lit up in the darkness.
The glowing green color outlined the shape of a tree. As the light grew stronger, they could see that it was a large glowing tree planted on a high platform.
The roots, trunk, and crown of the tree were all green and translucent, with light flowing inside the tree. If the "watchmaker" had not been standing in front of the green tree, Xia De would probably have observed it more carefully.
"You are finally here. It seems that my mission in this boring night is about to come to an end."
The woman with a glass bead with a dial in her left eye and thirteen hands tied to her hair looked like she had been waiting for the group for a long time. She did not take advantage of the ruins to suppress everyone's perception and launch a surprise attack just now. At this moment, she did not intend to summon the life ring when facing everyone's gaze:
"I originally thought that the ancient elves left behind such a large ruin, and they should have placed some valuable things inside, but I didn't expect that they actually just used this place to record history."
She leaned against the trunk of the glowing tree, not at all nervous about facing more than 20 people alone. The right True Eye looked at Emilia in the crowd, and then remembered the last time she used the Word of Sublimation to attack, and was killed by the Great Elf.
Emilia was not afraid of her at all. Instead, she pretended to be fierce and glared at her.
Then the woman in front of the tree laughed and said:
"The only valuable things here are the constructed creatures. Miss Pavo from the Truth Society originally said that they are very reliable after being transformed, but now they have been turned against you by just one sentence."
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 Association. It's just that they are good at promoting themselves. We are all illegal organizations in the eyes of the church. Why can they who conduct illegal experiments be honored as 'Professors of the Truth Society', while we who study time travel can only be called 'the people of the Tree Hole Association'?"
If the occasion wasn't wrong, Xia De was sure that he would laugh.
"And the group of lunatics in the Raven Club. If it weren't for the guarantee of the Ancient One, I would never have cooperated with them. Cooperating with the devil will bring long-term bad luck.
[Blood Spirit School] Not to mention, every time the Blood Weeper Hermons appears, he is beaten by you guys and runs away with his head in his hands. Now, besides always being seriously injured and recovering from his injuries, the only impression he leaves on me is that he runs very fast.
On the contrary, the ring warlocks of the Tyranny Club are ambitious and seem to be good partners, but it’s a pity that their current focus is not on Vista Forest.”
She must have been waiting here for a long time, so she had a lot to say. After she finished talking, she pointed to the tree behind her:
"This beautiful tree was also left by the ancient elves. I don't know what kind of tree it is, but its only function is to carry memories. As long as the 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. Maybe it contains content related to the ancient war."
She stood up straight, temporarily freeing her back from the tree, and waved to Emilia perfunctorily:
"Then let us begin, elf. But this time the other you is not here?"
"What? Another what?"
Emilia still didn't understand. Just as Shade was about to speak, the "watchmaker" smiled and said:
"It's okay if you don't understand. Although you brought so many people, due to the rules of the Time War, this is a fair one-on-one duel between the two of us."
As she spoke, the thirteenth 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 thirteenth ring, so they did not seem surprised.
Just as Shade and the others were retreating from Emilia, Miss Orlanod stepped forward and stood beside the elf:
"Sorry, I don't think it's one-on-one this time. As for whether it's fair, I'll judge after we're done."
The elegant and intellectual half-elf witch gave people a very different feeling from ordinary people. Even if Bryony Olanord stood silently in the crowd, she had the ability to attract people's attention. And when she stood out and said this, she was even more different.
