God seal

Saran'deil is back.

The moment he entered the center of the sea of ​​trees, oaks, birds, and beasts of the woods ran to announce the news.

Run, that brat is coming to pluck our tail feathers again!

He will pull out my teeth.

He'll still eat our meat.

The old oak tree shook its branches, as if it was afraid that Sell would climb up the branches again to strip its leaves.

The animals in the forest fled away one after another.

Of course, there are also small animals who don't know Searle but are confused by his appearance.A long-tailed squirrel that was looking for food stared blankly at Searle, and even forgot to chew on the acorn in his hand.Searle passed by its branches and stroked its furry tail.

"grumble!"

The squirrel screamed, and fell down happily holding the acorn.

The cheetah Taya gave the little guy a disdainful look, followed Seer and wrapped his tail around his hand, as if announcing to all the creatures in the forest - this is mine!

Like a demon king in chaos, Searle felt very relieved: "This place is still the same as before."

A few people behind me muttered.

"What's going on, I feel like the animals in the forest are avoiding us."

Since there was no one else to chat with, Monte had no choice but to talk to Neil.But the cold quarter bard still refused to pay attention to him.Monte could only grind his teeth at him.At this time, an unexpected person spoke up.

"Because they know His Highness Salanduil." Fici said.

Monte and Neil were let in by the cold-faced head of the royal court guard after repeated guarantees and pleadings from Searle. Even so, the head guard sent more than a dozen young elves to watch them all the time.Fei Xi was also one of the watchers because he happened to be by the side, but he was familiar with himself, and he had already opened his mouth to answer at this time.

"The animals in the sea of ​​trees are not ordinary, and their group has signed a contract with druids." Feixi explained, "This makes their lifespan longer than ordinary animals, and also allows their memories to be passed on through the contract. Even They die, and the next generation can still inherit their memories and experiences. For example, Taya, I think His Royal Highness Salanduil has seen the 'Taya' of previous generations."

Monte still has a good impression of this young elf who took the initiative to talk to him.

"Are all the animals in the Elf Tree Sea like this?"

"Yes."

Therefore, even though the Taya that Salanduil knew was no longer the one in front of him, this group of cheetahs still remembered him and passed on this memory from generation to generation.Of course Searle also heard the conversation behind him, not only that, but at the moment Physi explained to the half-bloods, he thought of Bethian.

They are also connected by blood, and the memory is also passed down. Isn't the relationship between Berthian and Olivier very similar to these animals that have been passed down from generation to generation?It's just that the only difference is that Searle understands what the animals are thinking, but he can't always understand Olivier's mind-no matter which one it is.

"arrive."

The elf who was leading the way stopped.

In front of them, a group of ancient oaks surrounded a huge tree that covered the sky.Monte gradually opened his mouth wide, because the giant tree was so huge that he couldn't see the edge and top of the crown when standing here.Estes walked in the forefront, turned around at this time, his blue eyes were shining, he said to several outsiders as if he was introducing his most proud treasure.

"Welcome to the realm of the Goddess of Nature, the Green Forest."

……

The lower grades of Van En Academy of Magic are taking a history of theology class.The so-called history of the gods is just like recording the life of a king, telling about his birth, his battles, and his death.

"The first god to die was Aixi. His body turned into a river to nourish the earth, and his soul became the sustenance of the world." The mage who taught the class read this and closed the book, "This is what believers say. Of course, I am not criticizing them, but as seekers of knowledge, we need to think more rationally and comprehensively."

A red-haired female apprentice stood up in front of Archie: "Then teacher! Is Essie's death real?"

"He did die, there are traces to follow. The oldest elves have recorded it, and they have always held sacrifices for Aixi."

Elves live so long.Archie couldn't help but sigh.

"However, I think the idea that gods will feed back to the world after death has yet to be considered." The lecturer said, "We all know that the basic principle of alchemy is the conservation of energy. In the same way, the world is also conserved. The energy of the world is Limited. When an individual's power is too strong, then it has relatively grabbed too much nutrients from the world. Its death is not so much a kind of dedication as a kind of repayment."

Archie was a little bored. He thought it was time to change the ranking of the course he hated the most. At this moment, he inadvertently looked out the window, and a black robe flashed by.

Archie froze for a moment, then looked up at the teacher in the stands.After a while, he bent down, made a silence gesture to his seatmate, and slipped out of the classroom quietly.

There are too few mages wearing black robes in the academy!Archie thought he was following Bethien, but he didn't realize his mistake until the other party walked into the sunlight.That wasn't Bethien, but another black-robed mage.

Archie was a little disappointed and was about to leave when he saw his grandfather appear from around the corner.Instinctively, he stayed and carefully concealed his whereabouts.Probably because they had let down their vigilance in the academy, neither Archmage Bailey nor the strange black-robed mage paid much attention to their surroundings, and they started talking directly.

"This is the last chance. We can't put all our chips on Olivier. If he makes another mistake, we will completely lose our most important ally."

Archmage Bailey comforted him: "Bothian knows what he's doing."

The black-robed mage sneered: "I'm afraid he is still dreaming. He cares too much about that elf."

Elf? !Archie pricked up his ears.

"It just so happens that Salanduil is also in the Sea of ​​Trees now, maybe we can do it once and for all!"

The conversation did not go on, and the two mages changed places in the next conversation.But Archie had heard enough, he knew it was a conspiracy!A plot against Saran'dil involving Mr. Bethion, and his grandfather was also involved.

"Impossible..." the young man murmured, "Why would grandfather do this."

After the shock, he made a decision.

The Holy City, Iranpur.

At this time, it has been a month since the farewell red dragons left.Iranpur returned to his usual calm, or boredom.At least, Eddie felt that the daily patrols and tasks could no longer satisfy him.When he first realized this, his devout belief in Dui, the god of light, made him confess himself.When this thought came up one after another, Eddie began to miss Saran'dir.If Lord Sarandeer is here, the holy city will be more interesting.

The paladins finished their day of patrolling, and Eddie was about to go back to rest, but was stopped by his colleagues stationed at the station.

"Eddie, there's a young man looking for you!"

"Looking for me?" Eddie was surprised, "Who is he and where is he?"

"I don't know, a foreigner. I came to the door this morning and said that it was your partner who went out on a previous trip."

Eddie suddenly thought of something and ran excitedly.The colleagues behind him shouted at him.

"He's waiting for you at the door!"

At the door, Eddie saw the back of a slender young man from a long distance away, and he couldn't help shouting expectantly: "Red!"

The boy turned around and said helplessly.

"It's not him, did it disappoint you?"

Eddie stopped walking.

"Archie?" he apologized. "I'm sorry, I thought it was Red, because he made an appointment with me to come back to see me when Direll woke up. What did you come to see me for?"

Archie quietly pulled him aside.

"A very important thing."

From making up his mind, to stealing the teleportation scroll, and then sneaking to Iranpur, it only took half a day to make this series of actions.The apprentice mage with excellent mobility glanced at Eddie, as if he was judging whether the paladin was trustworthy.

"If you had a choice, who would you choose between Dui and Sarandir?" he asked.

Eddie replied without thinking: "Of course it is Lord Sarandeer! The Lord is alive, and Dui cannot touch it!"

Archie's eyes changed, and he opened his mouth just now as if he wanted to say something, when a voice interjected beside him.

"what are you doing?"

"Captain Yvonne." Eddie looked at the person coming, "It's nothing, it's..." He turned his head, only to find that the Kung Fu Master apprentice had disappeared after just a while.

"What is it?" Yvonne asked him.

"It was a friend from my hometown who came to see me." Eddie looked towards the empty street, and for some reason subconsciously chose to lie, "We chatted for a few words, and then he left."

Yvonne patted him on the shoulder.

"Then look for him another day. Come with me, the Holy One of Light has something to ask for you."

Archie hides on the street corner and watches Eddie being taken away by Yvonne.At that moment he chose to avoid, even he himself couldn't explain why.Perhaps it was the discovery that his grandfather, who had always been revered, was conspiring against Sarandir, which greatly impacted his worldview.Now Archie doesn't know what kind of people he can trust.The thought saved his life.

Archie glanced at the gate of the Paladin's garrison for the last time, and disappeared into the crowd of the Holy City.

Can't contact Eddie, he has to find someone else.But who else could pass the news to Sarandir?The sorcerer's apprentice wandering in the street was thinking melancholy, his arm was grabbed by someone in a daze.

The force was so great that it almost broke his arm, and Archie jumped up in astonishment, meeting a pair of black eyes.The blackness was like a layer of haze, which made the boy's heart sink instantly.

Bethian looked at him, mocking in his gloomy eyes.He spoke, and the voice seemed to come from the abyss.

"Archie Bailey. What are you doing here?"
