My Magic Age

Now the Dust and Mud Swamp has become a vast shallow lake. Perhaps because of the rainy season, the green grass by the lake extends into the clear water.

The shallow lake is like a magnificent sapphire inlaid in the black forest. Walking out of the dense forest and standing by the lake, the view is suddenly open. The clear water, blue sky, gray clouds and the dense red pine forest on the shore form a quiet and beautiful picture.

A blue-tailed Beibei bird flew across the lake quickly. Its light body was like a flash of lightning piercing into the clear lake water, and light water splashed up. It held a white-scaled sharp-beaked fish in its mouth. The fish kept struggling in the mouth of the Beibei bird, trying to escape back to the lake. The Beibei bird flapped its wings on the lake and flew up with a "puff puff".

The moment the Beibei bird left the water, crystal water droplets splashed everywhere.

The indigenous girl had never seen such a large diving lake in her life, and looked at the lake with joy.

They patted the neck of the Gubolai horse affectionately, then jumped off the horse, took off their leather boots and cotton socks, stepped barefoot on the soft grass, rolled up their trouser legs with both hands, revealing a section of snow-white calves, and stepped into the shallow lake with a look of joy.

Katarina and I stood on the shore. This shallow lake area did not seem to have any traces of the Nibru spider people.

The minotaur Luka sat on the grass and panted heavily. He hadn't run at full speed like this for a long time. He was sweating profusely after running all the way from the Trum camp to the lake.

A Gubolai horse stepped into the lake and lowered its head to drink the lake water.

Katarina stood beside me on horseback and whispered, "I have been thinking about why I didn't choose to build the town of Trum by the lake. The scenery here is so beautiful."

I turned my head and looked at her delicate face with a smile like a flower, and couldn't help saying, "If you want to change your mind now, it's actually not too late."

"Really?" She looked at me with a smile and asked.

"Just kidding." I said quickly.

Watching Katarina run away angrily, I shouted at her: "We can build a camp smaller than Bitrum Town by the lake, or simply build a lakeside manor here..."

...

Four Gubolai horses ran on the lake like the wind, and the tauren Luka ran as fast as he could behind us.

In the shallow lake, there is a sand island not far away. These sand islands are covered with reeds and water celery, and some sand islands have one or two water willows. These sand islands are the habitats of water birds. They live on the sand islands and can almost completely avoid their natural enemies on land.

We have already entered the center of the shallow lake, and we can see the ancient war tree in the center of the lake from a distance. It is like a green hill standing in the center of the lake.

We rode Gubolai horses for a long time, but we still felt that we were far away from it.

After more than a month of absence, the ancient war tree has grown a lot taller. I think it has grown to at least 150 meters, and I can't even see the leaves on the crown.

The rough face on the trunk is clearer than before. It is clearly the face of an old man, with long beard and eyebrows, and a smiling face. There are even two arms growing on both sides of the trunk. It looks a bit funny, like a broken dead branch, but these two hanging dead tree arms are at least 60 to 70 meters long, and there are branches and leaves growing from the dead tree arms.

We came to his feet, and he looked as tall as a pillar mountain that pierced the clouds.

This made me wonder if the pillar mountains in the Black Forest were transformed from giant trees of higher levels than the ancient war tree.

The ancient war tree shook its crown slightly, slowly opened its huge eyes, and the wooden eyes were actually glowing.

The face on the tree trunk showed a smile, and a deafening voice came from above my head: "Welcome, my friend!"

Seeing the deafening sound of the ancient war tree, the two native girls knelt on the roots of a giant tree very devoutly. They almost put their whole bodies on the roots, as if they were whispering, and as if they were praying to the ancient war tree.

The Yero natives regarded these ancient war trees as their patron saints. Facing an ancient war tree that could speak, the two girls showed the most pious appearance.

"Mr. Big Tree, you look taller again, and you look a little different from before!" I raised my head and shouted to him with some difficulty.

"Hahaha!" The ancient war tree burst into laughter, and even the gray clouds in the sky caused a wave of fluctuations, just like a stone thrown into the pool and causing ripples.

Then, the arm of the ancient war tree began to move slowly, and the giant tree actually looked like a real arm, and it came across in front of me with a 'creaking' sound.

Only then did I feel how thick the arm of this giant tree, which was more than 60 meters long, was. It took at least ten people holding hands to surround it. It was like a tall tree wall in front of me.

Katarina took me to jump onto the five-meter-high tree wall. I stood on the arm of the ancient war tree, as small as an ant in front of an elephant.

Luka followed closely behind, using his hands and feet, and using all his strength to climb up the tree wall and stand side by side with us.

Suddenly, a violent tremor almost knocked me off the tree wall. This giant tree actually carried us up and lifted us up to the front of the ancient war tree before slowly stopping.

I didn't expect that the two arms of the Ancient War Tree could move at will, which means that its combat effectiveness has doubled. It is quite important to me to have such a powerful helper lurking in Dustwallow Swamp. .

I even think that a small town should be built on the island in the middle of the lake, which is almost completely protected by the ancient war tree.

The ancient war tree's tone softened, and he said to me: "In recent days, I have recovered some of my previous memories while sleeping. I want to thank you for your drop of life essence that allowed me to unlock the memory seal and let me remember. It happened a long time ago, when I was still a very young ancient war tree."

I didn't expect that the 'essence of life' would have such a powerful effect.

"I'm glad that drop of 'life essence' can be of such great help to you!" I said to the ancient tree of war.

Then this ancient war tree said to me: "By the way, through the spiritual world connection between the tree spirits, I know what happened in the Green Valley Jungle. Those powerful warriors did a great job in the Green Valley Jungle!"

I said to the ancient war tree: "If it weren't for the tree man in the Green Valley Jungle and the tree spirits in the forest who were trying their best to help us, my barbarian slaves and orc warriors would not have been able to win. Of course, I would also like to thank the Green Valley Jungle. The Hierro people and their warriors are very brave!”

When he blinked his eyes, the huge wooden eyelids were like a wooden sliding door, and one eye of the ancient war tree was as big as a small house.

The ancient war tree said to me: "I thought you would wait until the moment of complete victory in the Green Valley Jungle before you would come back here!"

I looked at him in astonishment, and he continued: "Actually, even if you don't come at that time, I will call you through the tree spirits in two days, because I have something to tell you."

It paused for a moment, and then asked me: "It's just that you came to me at this time. Did you encounter any problems?"

I shook my head, stood in front of the ancient war tree, picked off the green leaves from my neck, placed it in front of its eyes as much as possible, and then said to him: "I came to see you for this pendant!"

I continued to say to it: "I know it must be very important to you. It also helped us a lot when we first arrived in Green Valley."

The ancient war tree looked at the key of power in my hand with a serious face, but did not say anything. It just listened to me quietly: "And when I put it on my neck, I passed the spiritual power. I can hear the breathing and conversation of the trees that have grown into tree spirits in the surrounding forest. It is a wonderful feeling. I feel that I can also talk to those tree spirits. "

The ancient war tree's eyes widened again and asked me: "Are you here specifically to find me for the 'Key of Power'?"

I nodded heavily towards the ancient tree of war. I wanted to know the secret of this key of power.

The Ancient War Tree completely focused his attention on me. He said so many words, and I even got used to his deafening voice: "Okay, actually I was about to tell you about this matter. Do you want to talk about it?" Want to hear a long story?”

I nodded to him again. In fact, I felt that since we were telling a secret story, it was okay to have some spiritual communication with me.

It's just that the ancient war tree didn't seem to have this idea at all, and he directly entered a state of memory.

A green tree leaf appeared in the sea of ​​my spirit. A layer of green light appeared around this floating leaf. Then this layer of green light continued to expand, appearing like a halo in my spirit. in the sea.

The rolling muffled thunder came from above my head, and the voice of the ancient war tree rang in my ears: "Actually, this key of power is the second seal on my body!"

"..." I opened my eyes wide and looked at the ancient war tree speechlessly, a little unable to believe my ears.

"Remember that was a long time ago. This forest in the Hierro plane was at least five times larger than it is now."

In fact, I'm not sure how big this black forest is until now. I didn't expect that the black forest was even wider before.

The voice of the Ancient War Tree was very deep. It said: "At that time, there was a World Tree in this forest. It was the true master of the Yero Plane."

"Did another World Tree exist here before?" I thought in my heart.

As if knowing my thoughts, the Ancient War Tree continued to tell me: "The World Tree has extremely powerful power. It is the protector of this forest and also our master."

"It rules all the trees in this forest. There were at least 500 ancient war trees in this forest at that time, and the tree spirits in the forest were unable to count their number."

"Not to mention the big lizards with wings above the clouds who don't dare to come out of the clouds easily. Even the dragons in Dragon City don't dare to run to the Hierro plane easily."

"Until one day, this World Tree realized that it was almost at the end of its life, so it worried that after it died, it would attract powerful monsters to plunder its remains and destroy the entire Yero Plane, so it began to wander around Find a secret place for yourself to hide your body after death.”

"It puts most of its energy into traveling to the outer star realm in search of secret realms, but in this way it ignores the black forest in the Hierro plane."

“The ancient war trees guarding the Black Forest realized that the World Tree was about to die, and a new World Tree would be born in the Black Forest. So a group of extremely powerful ancient war trees began to gather their tree spirits and launched a protracted war in the Black Forest. This war involved almost all the ancient war trees in the Black Forest…”
