After a moment of silence, Garanod sighed slightly—she had sighed many times during her conversation with Joshua today—and the natural mentor said helplessly, "Radcliffe, the way you speak will make people not know how to answer. ”

But it seems that she doesn't mind, it seems that there are people around her who don't look at the surrounding situation and talk casually. As if recalling his friend, the natural mentor shook his head and said directly: "Then I'll tell you directly, the matter is still about the World Tree." ”

"World Tree?" Joshua asked in confusion, and he didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with his way of speaking, and he was unaware of his emotional intelligence: "That tree seed? ”

"Yes, the same tree that was reawakened by Father Nature in the Great Ajax Volcano."

Garanord said patiently: "I think you should have heard about the recent discord within the elves, all because of the World Tree. ”

In this regard, Joshua nodded, he came to the Eternal Lake this time to meet with the nature master, naturally he had done his homework, of course he knew the situation within the elf clan, in general, the nine largest clans of the elf clan were dissatisfied because of the royal court's monopoly of the world tree, and they did not directly confront the authority of the elven empress because of this, but only protested silently and expressed their non-cooperation with actions.

In the past few months, cracks have gradually appeared in the originally monolithic elf race, the royal court decree cannot get out of the city circle of the eternal lake, and the nine major tribes have no core resources from the royal court to support, the two sides are deadlocked with each other, all the elves are uneasy about this, in this atmosphere of the Cold War, the contradiction seems to be on the verge of breaking out.

"Speaking of which, I also find it strange, why don't you open up the inheritance of the Father of Nature to those people?"

Since he was not an elf, Joshua had nothing to do with himself, so he asked in his heart, and he shrugged his shoulders and said, "The Father of Nature is definitely not awakening the World Tree Species to make the royal court family dominate - and according to my impression of you, Madam, I don't feel that you are a person who hides secrets. ”

Of course, Galanod is not a hidden person, in fact, the reason why she is called a nature teacher is because she seriously teaches all intelligent beings who are determined to follow the path of nature, whether they are elves or humans, whether they are dwarves or gnomes, and she is the existence with the most nominal disciples in the entire Mycrof continent, because theoretically, any druid and mage related to the earth element has ever heard the public lectures of this legendary powerhouse.

"I don't know the explanation."

But now, such a mentor, who was famous for his teaching, could only smile wryly and shake his head in the face of Joshua's doubts, and Garanord didn't seem to know how to answer for a while, and after a short silence, she said softly: "Radcliffe, what do you think the World Tree is?" ”

That's a good question. After thinking for a moment, Joshua replied, "A perfect version of the Mother Tree of Life? Or rather, the Father of Nature is the heir and copy in a sense. ”

"Yes and no."

Garanord did not deny Joshua's answer, she raised her head and looked at the nine giant trees towering on the surface of the Lake of Eternity, the eyes of the natural mentor reflected the image of the giant trees standing between heaven and earth, and later, she lowered her head and looked at Joshua again: "The World Tree is indeed a higher order existence than the Mother Tree of Life, with many magical effects, and it even contains the complete inheritance of His Majesty, but in addition, there are many ......"

After frowning and pondering for a while, the natural mentor found a suitable word: "Information." ”

"Her Majesty and I analyzed the essence of the World Tree Seed, and we were surprised to find that the World Tree Seed was not so much the seed of a transcendent plant as a large 'biological database', and its core contained most of the inheritance and information of the elves of the 'Ancient Period'."

At this point, the Nature's Mentor's tone gradually turned calm, and she explained to Joshua in detail her discovery with the Elven Empress in a tone that did not fluctuate emotionally.

The World Tree Species is a doppelganger of the Father of Nature, his heir, and an experimental product for his entry into the Void World, and its core is a database that is enough for a team of elves to build a transcendent civilization from scratch, and its content is all-encompassing, all-encompassing, from building cross-border portals to how to farm and grow plants, any knowledge can be found.

"In the late Age of Glory, the ancestors of our elves have carried out many foreign colonization experiments, and the solar ship carries a mature mother tree of life and the elite of the elves to other worlds for tentative colonization, but because it cannot transform the local nature, all the otherworldly colonies need the resources of the Mycrof continent itself, otherwise it will be difficult for the colonies to survive for a long time."

The natural mentor lowered her gaze, she did not look at Joshua, but looked down at the new flowers and sprouts: "Your Majesty collected the data of the colony, and then created the World Tree, and the plan about it ended because of the final battle before it began, but it contains information about those colonial elves from the outside world...... They had cut off their connection with the world of McCrove before the final war, and now ...... It should have been lost in the depths of the Endless Void. ”

It's almost impossible to survive.

Hearing this, Joshua couldn't help but sigh slightly, and those memories obtained from the black fog appeared in his mind: the black shadow obscured the light of the multiverse, and the all-devouring evil swept across the heavens of all worlds, and under the sweep of the hordes of evil gods, even the 'Sanctuary Civilization', a great civilization that spanned many worlds and was allied with the Mycrof world of the Glorious Age, collapsed and perished, leaving only the black fog to survive.

Even if the world of Mycrove defeated the enemy, it has become what it is today because of the great regression of civilization, although the Starfall Era has already touched the shadow of the original Glorious Era, but there is a long distance to make up for - the mother civilization is already like this, not to mention those scattered branches.

Having said that, Joshua also probably understood the purpose of the natural mentor.

"So, you're planning to join the Empire's foreign expansion plans? Are you going to use the information in the World Tree to find the wandering elven colonists? ”

Joshua shook his head: "Welcome, whether it is Israel, Nostradamus or me, you are definitely welcome to join, but with all due respect, those colonists from a thousand years ago ...... I'm afraid it will have turned to dust a long time ago. ”

Joshua's words were quite pertinent, after all, if they were devoured by the evil gods and their families, there would be no ashes left.

"From a rational point of view, even if those colonists die, the relics they leave behind are a great gain, and can provide us with a lot of experience in otherworldly colonization now. Emotionally, these colonists left their homeland for the sake of the race, and then the elves of yesteryear abandoned them, so now, as successors, we are obligated to let these forerunners go home. ”

The natural mentor nodded, and she said calmly: "Joining the plan, I will personally talk to Israel, the elves are willing to provide technical and personnel support, but this time I just want to ask you alone, if Count Radcliffe you go out next time, I hope you can pay attention to these space-time coordinate worlds, and the elves will not be stingy with rewards." ”

"Yes, yes...... It's not hard to find these ancient ruins when you have the opportunity to help these pioneers get home. ”

Joshua received a large number of space-time coordinates from the natural master's spiritual transmission, and he frowned: "But why do you ask me alone?"

"After all, in the entire Mycrof Continent, only you have traveled to the Void the most times and gained the most, aren't you?"

The warrior thought about it carefully, and there was really no way to refute it - since he came to the Mycrof continent, he had to go to the other world almost every few months, and it is estimated that he will not spend much more time in his own territory than in the other world...... Now, in the eyes of other legendary powerhouses, he may have already had an identity label like 'Void Exploration Expert'.

After all, other legendary powerhouses have their own forces or races to be responsible for, the greater the strength, the greater the responsibility, and the greater the power, they are all leaders of a group of people, and naturally they are not like warriors who can run around casually.

"Still, you still haven't explained why you don't openly pass it on to the other nine tribes...... It's a private matter between your races, but I've met the Father of Nature after all, and he certainly doesn't like the way the elves look like now. ”

Because it was an internal conflict between the elven clans, it was difficult for Joshua to continue to ask, but the natural mentor had no idea of concealing it, she sighed and said slowly: "Joshua, don't you understand?" ”

"The core of the world's tree species is the elven database of the 'Ancient Period'."

Emphasizing the prefix 'Ancient' again, Garanord closed his eyes and shook his head: "The Elven Clan's heritage is incomplete, since a thousand years ago, since the beginning of the Starfall Era, we have been groping for the transcendent path almost from scratch, so all the elves are very eager for a complete set of divine inheritance—I understand the dissatisfaction of the nine tribes, because that is what I really thought when I struggled to find out." ”

"But nature is ever-changing, not immutable."

Opening his eyes again, the natural mentor said in a firm tone: "The way of nature thousands of years ago is not applicable to today, the way of nature passed down by His Majesty can greatly inspire a legend like mine in some profound places, but for those who don't even know what their own cultivation is, it is a complete dead end!" ”

Garanord's tone was extremely firm and confident, and she didn't feel that she had made any mistakes at all, even in the face of the inheritance of the father of nature from the elven creator, whom she admired abnormally, she still dared to speak out: "The natural magic taught by His Majesty, most of the time, needs to be done with the help of a certain person called ' The power of the world's great being, according to His lineage, seems to be a will that is gentle to all things, but now, that will is gone, or even worse, it has begun to hate us—so from the beginning, His Majesty's divine magic cannot be applied to this day! ”

It is the Cybora Microf, the will of the world.

The moment Joshua heard this, he knew the true face of that great being, he didn't know if the nature mentor knew that the will of the world was being sealed in the depths of the earth, and the warrior felt that she should know, but he thought he didn't know, so he explained it to him in a more tactful way.

"So I can't make this legacy public, instead, I'm going to wipe it out and bury it completely."

With such categorical words as the end, the tone of the natural tutor gradually became softer, and she seemed to notice that her previous attitude was a little excessive: "Your Majesty is not wrong, what is wrong is this world, heaven and earth change, so we must also change with it, and we can't follow the ancient inheritance in a blind way." ”

"It's bold, but why not explain the tribes? According to your prestige, even if they doubt, they will believe it. ”

Joshua can be regarded as understanding the approach of the natural master, indeed, if the ancient inheritance of natural magic is related to the steel python, then the best way to deal with it is to completely eliminate it, leaving no trace, no one knows if the steel python McCrof will have any back, can get out of trouble from the fluctuations of the natural magic, after all, it is the will of a world, no matter how cautious it is, it is not too cautious.

However, there is no problem with the general direction and strategy of the natural mentor, but the details are too rough, and the elf royal court, which also knows the truth, only needs to deal with it a little, so that it will not make trouble to the point where the elves are about to fight now.

"Because many elves don't understand what 'nature' is."

To Joshua's words, Garanod just smiled lightly, and she said leisurely: "Many elves, including you outsiders, may think that nature is synonymous with the world, and the ecosystem is equal to the world in which you and I live, but in fact, this is not the case. Without the interference of that great being, the force of nature would have been transformed into a new, different kind of power, but the vast majority of elves were not aware of this, so I say they 'don't know what they are practicing'. ”

As she spoke, the nature mentor turned around slowly, she turned her back to Joshua, facing the eternal lake and opened her arms, Garanord's body began to surge with bursts of light green light streaks, it gradually spread to the outside world, turning into a warm breeze, Joshua raised his head, watching the light green wind sweep across the lakeside, sweeping the surrounding forests, he sensed that the entire nature around him began to tremble slowly, as if a huge life was shaking the lung cavity, breathing deeply.

"Nature, not the world, is a symbol of life's victory over the world."

Galanod said softly, at first, her voice was very calm at first, but the more she talked about the back, the heavier it became, as if she wanted to prove something to someone, she said loudly with a resolute and abnormal attitude: "The current elves' perception of nature is completely wrong, the ecosphere, from the beginning, was not born to protect the world, but life was created to protect itself!" ”

"The world is eternal, and natural life was born to conquer this eternity, and we are to multiply in this land until the end of this world, or the end of our race!"

The natural mentor turned her head sharply, she and Joshua looked at each other, and the warrior could sense that the legendary powerhouse was very emotional now, and she took many deep breaths before calming down.

"The idea of the Father of Nature is outdated, I must reverse the elves' perception of nature head-on, and I cannot compromise in the slightest, and this time I invite the leaders of all the tribes to show them what the way of nature really is."

There was silence for a long time before Garanord spoke in an imperceptible voice, "Joshua, you are the only human who has ever seen the Father of Nature. ”

At this time, there was a hint of indescribable confusion in her tone: "Tell me, is Your Majesty's path suitable for the elves, or is my path more suitable?" ”

Asking this question must have been a great torture for Gallanord.

Joshua let out a breath, he knew that for this lady who had always revered the Father of Nature and regarded the other party as a fairy origin and a loving protector, it was a very painful thing to deviate from the path of the other party, and the reason why she asked Joshua to come over may not be to give some Mother Tree of Life, nor to join the development plan, but the purpose of Garanord was very simple: she just wanted to get an acknowledgment or no answer from Joshua, the only human who had seen the Father of Nature.

She is firm in her attitude to the outside world, but in fact, she is still confused

The warrior knew very well that the Nature's confusion was due to the fact that she was too powerful, and that Garanod had gone too far and too far on the path of nature, and that even the Father of Nature could not guide her forward. Now, she's at a fork in the road that no one has ever walked to, but she doesn't know which path is more suitable for today's elves.

Legends, all legends, are walking on the road without predecessors, they are the pioneers of the road, and naturally there are many latecomers who do not know the confusion and choice.

"I don't know, ma'am."

Looking at this scene and hearing Garanord's question, Joshua didn't know how to answer at first, but then, he laughed: "But, I think, you shouldn't doubt yourself. ”

The warrior recalls what he had seen and heard in the world of Irgena, and he recalled the disdain and anger of Ilgena the Cyborda against the Father of Nature, who hated the god for modifying his body for his people, just so that his people could live in the other world unharmed.

He changed His course for the sake of the elves.

For the sake of the elves, she chose this path.

Vaguely, the wrinkled face of the Father of Nature coincided with the beautiful face of the Garanod in front of him, completely different, but identical, the two had completely different starting points, but in the end they had the same path.

So, Joshua bowed slightly to Garanod, and he said sincerely, "Because you are a well-deserved natural teacher. ”
