[Western Fantasy] The mystery of life and death

In the white mist, Loka was alone, walking forward in a daze.The white mist is getting thinner and thinner, and if there is anything there, it gently fills the space.How pleasant and comfortable this breath is, and the whole body becomes lighter and clearer.

Luoka remembered, this pure and nourishing breath, the sap of the Thoroya pine!The supreme sense of holiness rose in Luoka's heart.As he moved forward unconsciously, he remembered more - only in the sacred ceremony of offering sacrifices to the source of life, the refined and refined liquid will present a deep dark green divine liquid, which is placed half a person high on the grand altar in the tall golden cup.The pure-blooded high-ranking Alanti priests slowly recited the ancient secret language - "Song of Gaia" to stimulate the pure effect of the pure Soloa pine sap, so that all the Alantis who participated in the ceremony People are bathed in the precious spiritual atmosphere, refining and purifying the body and mind.

The scene of participating in the ceremony came to mind little by little. He remembered that he had just become the youngest chief priest of the Huiyue Clan at that time, and followed the ruling king Augusta to preside over the ceremony. Improve the soul power, and occasionally the talented Aranti magician can even directly improve the realm and jump into the ranks of powerful high-level priests.

The thick and pure scent of Thoreau pine sap is everywhere in the misty white mist.Loka found himself in a primeval forest. He was slowly stepping into the deep green. Gradually, he was surrounded by towering towering trees, covering the sky, and the sound of the wind wandering in the dark forest became deep and solemn.

This is the holy land of the secret land of Alandi - the ancient Soloa pine forest!

The Soloa Pine Forest is the spiritual vein of the entire Aranti Secret Realm.The Thoreau Pine is the oldest tree in the world. It is said that it comes from the source of life on the earth.The largest Solo pine in the forest stands majestically, silent forever.Loka looked up in awe at this huge creature that required 20 people to join hands to encircle it.He walked by the knotted tree roots and rubbed them lightly. The knife-like texture was engraved with endless vicissitudes of time.He walked in the forest for an unknown amount of time, and the crown of the trees above his head swayed slightly, as if there were many voices echoing in the forest.

Libetas, the high priest of the Huiyue Clan, is over a hundred years old, but she doesn't look old. The vicissitudes of a century just make her words and deeds have a kind of daunting sternness.But the events that followed in recent days made her physically and mentally exhausted.At this time, she was shocked to look at the source of the spiritual veins in this secret realm - the Thoroa pine forest.This pine forest has always been lush and vibrant for thousands of years.But the scene in front of him was actually one of decay and withering.She flew into the air again to see the whole picture.The pine forest is almost completely withered, only a small piece in the middle is still green.

Under the shock, Libertas almost lost her breath and fell from the air. The area withered yesterday was only the outer part.It was just one night, how could it be!

During her routine inspection a few months ago, she found some dead branches on the outer branches of the perennial verdant Soraya pine forest, and she has been visiting here every day since then.It was found that the scope of withering slowly expanded and gradually spread to the center.

All the Aranti people in the secret realm know that the Soloa pine forest is the spiritual vein of the whole secret realm, but even the priests in the Huiyue Temple don’t know that the center of the Soloa pine forest is the real source of spiritual power in the whole secret realm. source.That is the scope that only the ruling king, the elders and the three priests can enter.There is a deep well there, and an ancient magic circle is engraved at the bottom of the well, called "Hecate's Light", which is the real source of spiritual veins in the entire secret realm.This magic circle is maintained by three "Gaia Hearts" and 24 spiritual source magic crystals.Every ten years, the energy stored in the magic crystal will be exhausted and need to be replaced.A spiritual source magic crystal needs to consume [-] top-grade magic crystals together with the sap of the Thoroa pine tree to purify it to a suitable size.

The "Light of Hecate" is constantly running, and the spiritual energy of the secret realm is also continuous, so that the magical creatures and the Soloa pine forest in the secret realm can continue to grow, and the magic crystals and Soloa pine sap extracted from the magical creatures can be used again and again. It can purify and synthesize the magic crystal of spiritual source, and maintain the operation of "Hecate's Light"-repeatedly.Although the Arantis are the masters of the secret realm, this race also needs to live in an environment full of aura.If the aura is exhausted, the descendants will gradually be unable to awaken the power in the ancient blood.

However, since the mysterious change occurred, the energy of the spiritual source magic crystal has been consumed rapidly.It was only replaced five years ago, and now it has lost its luster, which is a state that only appears when it is close to exhaustion.The elders will immediately replace all the spiritual source magic crystals.The high priest Libertas inspected it daily and found that the luster of the magic crystal of spiritual source dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye every day.The stocks of magic crystal and Thoroa pine sap will soon be exhausted.

Originally, it was only necessary to regularly hunt some small rodent magical creatures that reproduce rapidly, such as crystal rats and ferret rabbits. Now not only need to hunt these small magical creatures in large numbers, but also need to hunt more large magical beasts to make up for the rapid Inventory consumption.The missions of the special operations team led by Loka and Altai have become more and more dangerous in recent months.

This made the high-level executives of the secret realm of Alanti fall into a difficult choice.Excessive hunting will quickly destroy the ecological balance, but if no measures are taken, the ecological environment will be overturned immediately.So they have no choice!

Libertas took a deep breath, she quickly adjusted and calmed down, and calmed down.She took off the mirror dream crystal beads on her earlobe, and used her mana to record the situation in front of her in all directions and show it to the meeting hall.She had a feeling that the sudden accelerated depletion of the Soloa pine forest might be related to the violent space shock that occurred last night.

"Your Majesty, members of the Presbyterian Church. The situation is critical! I request that the remaining Thoroya pine forest be sealed immediately!"

The white light of the moonlight stone leaf carving in her hand that was used for communication fell silent.It took only a moment for it to light up again.The ruling king Augusta's voice was heavy and firm, "Seal it now!"

The Soloa pine forest instantly froze in large chunks of crystal clear ice crystals.Huge ice crystals are like ancient boulders standing everywhere. Seen from a high altitude, they are two frozen concentric circles. The outer circle is pale yellow and bleak, surrounded by the fresh green in the small inner circle.

The ancient Soloa pine forest is connected by a magic circle, and the vitality of the entire forest is connected as one. As long as one survives, there is a chance to restore the whole.And if they all die, they will never be able to come back to life again.It is difficult to find this ancient and rare tree species on the mainland.Sealing vitality with the ancient crystal moon sealing technique of the Alandi people is the hope for the future.
