My Magic Age

"At first, low-level tree spirits continued to die in this war. Later, the war intensified. I don't know when it was. After the first ancient war tree fell in the forest, we could no longer control our hearts. Our lives are so long with hatred and fear, and all ancient trees of war are unwilling to be losers in this war."

"This war has lasted for hundreds of years on the Hierro plane. The more powerful the ancient war trees are, the easier it is to be surrounded and killed by other ancient war trees. They often die in the early stages of the war. On the contrary, those who are least able to Threatened young ancient war trees can live longer."

"In that chaotic era, there were many times when I thought my life was coming to an end, but in the end I was lucky enough to survive."

"Finally, when the World Tree returned from the outer realm, and his consciousness and power returned to his true form, he saw the devastated Hierro plane, only to find that the Hierro plane had almost turned into a ruins, with nearly four hundred war warriors. The ancient tree and tens of thousands of tree spirits died in this war, and our ancient tree clan also declined in this civil war."

"It's a pity that the life of the World Tree was about to come to an end at that time. He used his last bit of power to quell the war, and used magic to imprison the forty-nine ancient war trees that survived the war on the earth, using a The huge magic circle limits our ability to walk and allows us to live in different corners of this forest to prevent us surviving ancient trees from fighting again. "

The Ancient War Tree seemed to be telling a very ancient story, and he was obviously one of them, sealed in this forest by the magic of the World Tree.

"Is the World Tree dead? Then where are the remains of his body after death? Did it become the Pillar Mountain in the Hierro plane after death?" I couldn't help but ask.

In the black forest of the Hierro plane, I did not find the remains of the World Tree.

"Those Pillar Mountains are only the unique landforms of this plane, and are not transformed into the World Tree after death." The Ancient War Tree said to me slowly.

He blinked his huge eyes, like two searchlights flashing dimly in the fog.

He became a little confused and said to me uncertainly: "I don't know, it probably went to the distant star field. It is said that it had found a hiding place at that time, and it planned to hide its body in In the turbulent flow of time, prevent those old enemies from snatching his body after his death. "

Listening to the ancient war tree say this, I suddenly thought that Xinliu Valley is in the turbulence of time, but there will be a tide of time every ten years, and it is only during that time that Xinliu Valley will be in the same place as time. External connection.

The Ancient War Tree added: "Before it left the Hiero Plane, in order to allow the Hiero Plane to recuperate, it put all our Ancient War Trees into an endless sleep. I feel that it should follow us after we fell asleep. He left the Yero plane together with his body."

Thinking of the nine floating mountains in Xinliu Valley, I couldn't help but ask the Ancient War Tree: "Did that World Tree take away an entire mountain range?"

The Ancient War Tree became a little confused again. He pondered for a while, and then replied: "Maybe! This place has long been changed beyond recognition. I can no longer remember the original appearance of this forest."

He used his thick and huge arms to lift us above the tree canopy. We stood on the top of the 100-meter-high tree canopy and had a bird's-eye view of the huge shallow lake and black forest in all directions. It was just that the places that were too far away were shrouded in a faint haze. Under the fog, it was impossible to see clearly.

The ancient war tree said to me: "This is the whole picture of this forest in my eyes. After being imprisoned in this dusty mud swamp for so many years, my memory has become a blank. If it hadn't been for this promotion, let me take a peek Those things that have been buried in the depths of my memory, I’m afraid I can’t even remember those things from the past.”

His voice was like rolling thunder, and every time he spoke, I felt as if rolling thunder was exploding beneath my feet.

The ancient war tree continued to say to me: "I tried to use the power of my spirit to awaken other ancient war trees sleeping in the black forest. Only eleven of the forty-nine ancient war trees that were sealed at the beginning responded."

Hearing what he said, I thought the Key of Power was a token of contact with other ancient trees of war, so I said, "Is this the secret of the Key of Power?"

The ancient tree of war once again brought us to his eyes and said to me: "When the world tree sealed us, it also gave each of us a key to power. He hopes that one day in the future, the ancient tree of war will reach the world of Yero." A strong man can be born. When he is recognized by all the ancient trees of war, as long as the keys of power in the hands of all the ancient trees of war are gathered together, it is said that our seal can be lifted. "

Having said so much, I didn't understand the function of that key of power until now.

"It turns out that this key to power is the key to unlocking the seal!" I said to the ancient war tree: "But... after so many years, so many ancient war trees have died. Where can I find the key to power in their hands? ah!"

The Ancient War Tree said that there were originally forty-nine ancient trees sealed in this deep forest, but now he can only contact eleven of them, which means that the whereabouts of the eleven keys of power can be traced according to this clue. As for the other I'm afraid I can only find the key to my power slowly, but in my opinion this is an impossible task.

"Actually, it would be a good choice to die on this island in the middle of the lake." The ancient war tree said slowly.

If an ancient tree is going to die of old age, it is unknown how many years it will take. It is said that their life is as eternal as time.

"But you gave me this key of power." I looked down at the green leaf hanging around my neck and said to it.

I reached out and took the key of power off my neck and said, "Sorry, I don't have the ability to help you find the rest of the keys of power for the time being. Maybe you can wait until I deal with these things around me. At that time, I can help you find other keys of power."

The ancient war tree did not take back the key of power. It said to me, "I asked you to take it to the Green Valley Forest just as a token. Now you can keep it as a souvenir. Anyway, it is impossible for anyone to gather forty-nine keys of power."

"..."

I was silent for a while, then raised my head and asked him, "I am going to the Green Valley Forest. Do you need me to bring any message to Mr. Tree Man?"

"..."The ancient war tree did not speak.

"If not, then I will leave first!" I said.

It turns out that this key of power is actually the key left by a world tree in the Hiero plane a long time ago to remove the seal.

Being able to hear the whispers of the tree spirits in the Black Forest may be one of the abilities of this key of power.

Seeing me say goodbye to it, the ancient war tree put me, Katarina, and the minotaur Luka on the ground of the island, and we jumped off its huge arm.

The two Hiero girls were quietly waiting on the island in the middle of the lake, and the four Gubolai horses were standing quietly on the grass beside them, eating grass with their heads down.

Lakeside, grass, girls, horses...

...

We said goodbye to the ancient war tree, left the island in the middle of the lake in the Dust Swamp, and walked south along the path in the Black Forest.

After five nights of continuous travel, we finally saw the edge of the Green Valley Forest on the sixth day.

I can feel that the tree spirits in the dense forest are welcoming us.

Through the information transmitted by the tree spirits, I found Kalancuo and Justus in the dense forest of Green Valley. They were staying in the eastern area of ​​the dense forest of Green Valley with 400 barbarian slave warriors and 100 orc construct warriors. They surrounded the spider camp in the eastern part of Green Valley and suppressed the Nibru spiders in the spider camp.

In addition, there were 3,000 Yelo native warriors in this area, fighting together with Kalancuo's orc warriors.

The native warriors set up some traps in the dense forest. With the help of the tree spirits in the dense forest of Green Valley, they could hunt some lone spider warriors in the dense forest with the standard military crossbows and short flying spears in their hands.

Occasionally, the native warriors met some five-man patrol teams of spider warriors, and they could also set up ambushes in the forest. Although the combat effectiveness of the native warriors was not too strong, they were the natives of this forest and were very familiar with the environment here. They relied on this advantage to make the scout team of spider warriors suffer a lot during this period.

I took Katarina directly to the east of the dense forest and found Kalancuo's secret camp in the east of the Green Valley dense forest.

This is a very dense red pine forest, with giant pines of 70 to 80 meters high everywhere in the forest. Some indigenous warriors are hidden in every corner of the pine forest. After our group entered this forest area, even if we walked into their sight, some indigenous people carrying hardwood bows and standard military crossbows would occasionally look around the giant pines to explore us.

These Yero warriors did not know us, so they were a little wary of us, but they were unwilling to get close to us.

A burst of dense horse hoof sounds rang out, and a team of orc knights ran out from the depths of the dense forest. Kalancuo rode a horse and ran in front.

When she passed through the dense forest, she would lower her head to avoid the horizontal branches. She rode on the horse like a gust of wind.

Kalancuo ran out from the depths of the dense forest with a team of orc knights to greet me. The orc warriors have improved a lot in riding skills through the battles during this period. They are riding on horseback and becoming more and more like constructed knights.

The camp was built on a swamp, and all the tents were built on some huge old tree roots. The living conditions were very simple. Nearly half of the tents were soaked in mud and water, and the barbarian slaves were also covered with mud, but they didn't seem to care about the muddy environment. Only the heavy crossbows hung on the tree trunks were wiped clean.

There are nearly a hundred old tree spirits that are hundreds of years old in this forest area, so the Yelo natives strongly recommend choosing this place as a camp.

I brought some new supplies to the orc warriors and barbarian slave warriors. I opened the portal in Kalancuo's tent and asked the barbarian slaves to move out the supplies prepared in the underground warehouse, including some additional weapons, arrows, corpse fire oil, first aid treatment potions, hemostatic bandages and marching rations, etc.

"How long are you going to stay here this time?" Kalancuo leaned on the pillar at the entrance of the tent and asked me with his hands around his chest.

"I'll work with you to wipe out the spider camp in the east before I leave!" I sat on the tree roots outside the tent, watching the barbarian slaves carry boxes of supplies out of the tent, and said to Kalancuo.
