Abyss Domination

Father of Oak - Sivanus.

He is the only deity without a clear alignment, and he is also the most extreme natural balancer.

Therefore, although he prevented the disaster brought about by the destruction of the arcane empire, many races did not know much about his deeds. Because his past behavior was too extreme, and it was too easy to arouse the antagonism of civilized races. The father of the oak tree only cares about the entire natural world. All races are treated equally to him. His followers can be from good to evil, as long as they lean towards the neutral camp, there is no problem. The father of the oak tree looks at things differently from everyone else, and even most of the gods have huge conflicts with him in terms of values.

currently.

The remaining influence of the Father of the Oak Tree is limited to creatures such as druids, treants, and dryads. Even before he fell, the Father of the Oak Tree possessed a powerful power at the level of divine power, and the influence of the Church spread throughout every corner of the material plane. , but still does not get much recognition within the civilizations of many races. Because whether it is human, elf, dwarf, orc, etc., while developing their own civilization, they will inevitably destroy nature. The only thing that can be spread within civilization is the relatively moderate teachings of Mother Earth and the agricultural development she represents.

Therefore, although the father of the oak tree saved the world, he was gradually forgotten by the world.

Perhaps for the father of the oak tree, he does not need the gratitude of the world at all. Maintaining the balance of nature is his mission, and sacrificing in order to protect nature is just to fulfill his due mission.

To be honest, Sauron had a fierce conflict with Father Oak, both in his way of doing things and in his worldview.

But this does not affect his respect for the father of the oak tree.

Because the father of the oak tree is really a great elder, and in the long years, the mess left by the battles of the gods has to be cleaned up by him in the end. The material plane has experienced countless disasters. There were a few times that were no less than a large-scale nuclear explosion, but in the end they were all rescued by the father of the oak tree. Humans are the race that likes to die the most. From the age of Nesser to the age of Thorium to the arcane empire, if you add the spirit sucking monster empire and another relatively special civilization, then the large-scale natural disasters experienced by the material plane may be even worse. many.

The father of the oak tree and the tree shepherds in his church have been working tirelessly to restore the natural environment.

As long as it is not something that seriously disrupts the balance of nature, the father of the oak tree will not easily show his anger. But if He was really angry, it would definitely be a very terrible thing.

Because he is one of the few ancient gods who double-job [barbarian]!

The Father of the Oak Tree rarely participated in battles in person, but there is no doubt that his combat effectiveness can be ranked in the forefront in the multiverse, and he is also one of the few powerful gods with the ability to end a plane, but he should not be like this do it.

………………

Misty forest.

Sauron looked at everything in front of him with some doubts. The path guided by the goddess of magic was a route he had never seen before.

Because it is shrouded in fog all the year round. In addition, the interior of the forest is like a labyrinth. During the outbreak of the Holy Havoc and the time after the end of the Holy Havoc, the adventurers were unable to fully explore this huge primeval forest. There are many lives left over from the ancient times here, relying on the natural environment of the misty forest to avoid the harassment of other races.

A strange arch of trees appeared ahead.

At this moment, they have penetrated deep into the interior of the foggy forest. Inside this huge forest with an area of ​​over tens of thousands of square kilometers, there are many secret realms left over from the ancient times.

People call it the [Gate of Nature], but in fact they are all remnants of the demiplane.

It's here.

Lady Midnight stopped in her tracks, stretched out her white fingers and tapped lightly on the tree arch in front of her. Then he saw the fog in front of him dissipate, and a quiet road appeared around him.

The surrounding trees swayed slightly as if they were alive. Faintly makes people feel a little uneasy.

A lot of the trees here are dead.

Yildith's expression was full of amazement. As a wizard who has not yet reached the legendary realm, everything he saw was very strange to him. Under normal circumstances, he would never want to go deep into the interior of the foggy forest by himself. .

yes.

Lady Midnight nodded slightly. Slowly said: The plague has eroded this place, and some evil forces are still affecting these trees. The next thing I need your help to do is related to this.

A clear river appeared ahead.

This should be a space between the material plane and the demiplane, a gap in space opened up by some powerful force.

You cannot pass through here.

A crisp female voice sounded in front, accompanied by a faint natural aura, an extremely beautiful woman in a light green dress came out of the trees in front. She looks a bit like an elf, because she has a pair of sharp ears, but her appearance doesn't mean anything. In fact, she is a high-level dryad in front of her.

even!

Sauron also saw the radiance of divinity in her.

The dryad came to them with light steps. Yierdis's expression seemed a little surprised. From the perspective of beauty, the dryad should be the top of the material plane. It is estimated that he may not have seen such beauty in the past. of the opposite sex.

Karina.

It seems that this is not the first time Ms. Midnight has come here. She stared at the beautiful dryad in front of her and said slowly, I must enter the temple. There are some things in it that I need.

Karina should be the name of the beautiful dryad in front of her.

She frowned slightly when she heard the words. With her strength, she shouldn't be able to tell the true identity of the Goddess of Magic, but it can be roughly seen that her strength is extraordinary. It shouldn't be the first time that the goddess of magic came here. Last time, she seemed to return without success, and then thought of asking for help. For a while, even Sauron was curious about what was inside this temple, which could make the goddess of magic eagerly desire it.

terribly sorry.

The Dryad still rejected the Midnight Lady in front of her. She shook her head and said, The seal of nature cannot be broken. We need these powers to stop the forest from being eroded.

Please get out of here.

Still failed to negotiate.

The Goddess of Magic didn't seem surprised by this, and Sauron next to him silently put his hand on the handle of the knife. Yildith's expression also became serious, as if they didn't mind using force to solve the problem if necessary. But the Goddess of Magic stopped this kind of behavior. There seemed to be some power here that made her feel afraid, at least she didn't want to use force to solve it.

So, she stared at the high dryad in front of her. Slowly said: If we can help you solve these problems, can you let me enter the temple?

question?

There is no doubt that it should refer to this forest that is being eroded, right?

Sauron's expression was a little surprised, because he didn't know how the goddess of magic planned to solve the trouble in front of him. She was the goddess of magic, not the god of nature. The trees nearby looked like special existences with life consciousness, and even they were surrounded by some kind of Power erosion is undoubtedly a very troublesome problem. And it looks like this has been the case for a long time. Some trees have been completely corrupted. If there is no force to suppress this place, I am afraid that these trees may be corrupted and become dead wood guards.

The expression of the High Dryad seemed a bit hesitant.

She glanced at Miss Midnight in front of her, and said hesitantly: Although you are very powerful, this kind of problem is not something you can solve.

This demiplane has existed for a long time.

Such a serious erosion should not be formed overnight. I'm afraid it has something to do with many factors, and the balance of the element pool is not right. Even Sauron doesn't think the goddess of magic can solve it.

certainly.

Ms. Midnight nodded lightly, expressing that she was indeed incapable of solving these problems. Her priesthood does not include nature, and salvation is undoubtedly more difficult than destruction. But then she turned her gaze to Sauron and Yildith next to her. He said softly: Since you are the priest who serves the father of the oak tree - Sivanus, then you should know that there is a ritual that can be used to awaken the divine power left by him, and use it to heal this forest, right?

A ritual to heal the forest?

Sauron was shocked when he heard the words, and then a thought popped into his mind. He murmured, Could it be that ceremony?

There are a large number of Dryads among the followers of the Oak Father.

As companions of trees, many dryads once sought refuge from the father of the oak tree, and in the church of the father of the oak tree, there are two sacred rituals that can be used to restore the natural environment and restore life to the dying forest. There are many ceremonies in the Church of the Oak Father, but the most powerful and most sacred of the many ceremonies are named [Tree Song] and [Dryant Dance].

The former is an extremely large sacrificial ceremony.

It takes a large number of believers to repeat the ancient hymns inside the church in unison, attracting the creatures in the forest to stop and listen. From what you see, there is no condition for the [Tree Song] ceremony to be held here.

The latter is a joyful ceremony to restore the forest's vitality, requiring believers to call the dryads out of the connected trees with the sound of flutes and dances, and then intercourse with humans.

This ceremony should have been mentioned once before.

This ceremony does not cost much to the dryads, but it is a great burden to those who make friends with them, and may even need to pay more.

Dance of the Dryad?

Lady Midnight's words seemed to remind the high tree spirit in front of her. Her beautiful face showed a thoughtful expression, and she cast her eyes on Sauron and Ildis in front of her. She is a dryad herself, and this ritual should be the easiest for her to complete. She fell into deep thought and murmured: If the [Dance of the Dryad] can be successfully performed, maybe it can awaken the father of the oak tree to stay behind. With the divine power coming down, it is really possible to purify the entire forest in this way.

Speaking of this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

First of all, she cast her eyes on the handsome blond-haired Ildis. After staring at him for a while, Karenna couldn't help but frowned, and murmured: No. He's not strong enough at all, nor is he strong enough. Strength, I'm afraid it can't even support half of the ceremony.

Eldis is a little confused.

As the Church of the Oak Father faded from the eyes of mortals, even wizards did not know much about the sacred rituals within their church.

He still doesn't know what the others are talking about.

The high tree spirit quickly turned her gaze to Sauron next to her, her eyes brightened instantly, her expression became radiant, and she said eagerly, He can!

Not only is he strong enough! He also has great power!...

I can feel the radiance of divinity!...

If he is willing to help us hold the sacred ceremony, he may be able to fully awaken the divine power left behind by the father of the oak tree, so that the entire misty forest can be purified!...

Hearing the words of the high tree spirit, the goddess of magic immediately turned her pleading gaze to Sauron next to her.

Yildith was originally her candidate.

If he can't, the goddess of magic may only be able to improve Ildis's strength through some special methods, and then he will complete this sacred ceremony.

Although it may cost her a lot, there is really one thing inside the Oak Father's temple that is very important to her!

Now.

Sauron was able to complete this ceremony, which meant that she didn't need to pay too much. She just needed to find a way to compensate Sauron as much as possible.

For one thing in the temple, she is bound to get it!

Therefore, at this moment, the goddess of magic looked at Sauron with a hint of prayer.
