Chapter 7: The Tree of Life
Humans, elves, and dwarves are all the same at the original source of the bloodline, and the places where they were born were all plains without forests on the initial continent before the ancient times, which is why the three races can freely intermarry and naturally produce offspring, this is because although the lifespan and talent are different, in the deepest depths, they are the same. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Just as there are many races with humans, dwarves have several major tribes, and elves also have many branches, and the largest one is the Elves of the Far South Forest.
In folklore, the Tree of Life is the first tree in this world, it has experienced the watering of the river of fate, and bathed in the light of the initial fire, its leaves contain the power to revive all things, cure all diseases, and its fruits can make people rejuvenate, become strong and strong, and even extend the life of the dying.
Of course, these are all legends, there are some things that are not true, Joshua knows that the tree of life actually has no fruit, the so-called fruit is actually the new buds of the tree of life every year, which contains a large amount of pure vitality, eating it, can strengthen physical fitness, but also can get a supernatural ability that is [invulnerable to all diseases].
And there is not only one tree of life, every large gathering place of forest elves will have a tree of life, but only in the lake of eternity in the far south, the huge tree that is nearly a thousand meters high is the sacred tree that everyone praises.
Arriving in the courtyard of Beppu, Joshua saw the messenger who brought the fruit.
The messenger was a huge bird with a whole body of blue.
Unlike ordinary carrier pigeons, this kind of bird of prey specially cultivated by the elves, called the trade wind owl, is three meters long, has a very strong physique, comparable to the average black iron warrior, and has a child-like intelligence. They fly extremely fast, can maintain their physical strength with magical elements, only need to eat once a month, and have a long stamina, which is the perfect messenger.
The messenger had a small bag with a delicate elven pattern hanging from its feet, and it stood quietly on the branch of the tree in the courtyard, and when Joshua came, it rolled its eyes, as if it had recognized its target.
It wanted to get up, fly closer, and hand over what it was carrying to the man, but just as it saw Joshua and looked him in the eye, a terrible coercion struck the bird's spirit, making it so weak that it couldn't even grasp the branches, and fell straight down.
The warrior's aura of fear has now evolved into an attack similar to a mental shock.
Just as the trade owl stiffened and was about to fall to the ground, a hand reached out and grabbed its wings, and Joshua removed the package from its leg, then straightened it and placed it on the ground.
The Trade Wind Owl was still stiff, like a statue, and Joshua had already opened the little package.
This package, like the other storage packages, solidified the shrinkage and weight reduction spells, and contained two beautifully decorated boxes, as well as a letter.
Joshua took out the letter first.
This letter was not sent by Cleel, the elf druid is still sowing the sun vine in other parts of the Northlands, which was written by her Windsong clan after receiving the news, which roughly means that they already know what happened to Cleel in the Northlands, and as Cleel's relatives, friends and descendants, they are very grateful for what Joshua has done.
They regret the excessive wear and tear of Joshua's life, but the elves are absolutely generous to their friends, and in order to repay Joshua's kindness, they are willing to give two fruits of the Tree of Life as a token of gratitude.
In addition to this, they have prepared other gifts, but this is not something that can be delivered by a single messenger, and the follow-up team has already set off and is expected to arrive in some time.
“…… It's been almost a month, and I'm almost healing myself. ”
After reading it, he sighed slightly, Qiao Shuya knew that not everyone was like him, with the power support of the Azure Orb, ordinary people had lost their vitality, and basically looked like they were dying before they grew old, and after a month of cultivation, almost all the gray hair on his head returned to black, and it was visually estimated that as long as it took a few weeks, he would be able to fully recover his full glory.
A gentle force dissolved the stiffness in the bird's body and allowed it to regain its mobility - but to Joshua's embarrassment, the bird immediately took off like a fugitive ghost after regaining its mobility, and in the blink of an eye it was high in the air and flew swiftly southward.
He hasn't written back yet.
It's not that the warrior can't stop a bird, but he takes it too seriously for the sake of a bird, and after smiling and shaking his head, Joshua took the package and returned to Beppu.
From the window on the second floor of Beppu, Hotaru can be seen holding a brush with a worried face, brushing the sleeping black bristles, but after noticing Joshua's gaze, Hotaru looks up and smiles and waves in greeting, and the warrior nods and waves in response.
In the study, Rin was looking at a report seriously, biting the tip of his pen, and after pondering for a while, he raised his pen to annotate a paragraph of text, and then moved on to the next document.
"It's a lot easier."
With a sigh of emotion, he returned to his room, Joshua took out the two exquisite boxes from the package, and without hesitation, he opened them directly.
The magic runes flowed like water, and as the box opened, the spells attached to it were lifted, and suddenly a rich breath of life turned into a breeze, blowing across the room, making people feel like they were in the depths of the jungle, experiencing the breath of natural prosperity, Joshua took a deep breath of the suddenly fresh air, even with his strength, he couldn't help but feel refreshed, and felt a lot more comfortable.
This beautifully decorated medium-sized box was opened, and placed in it was a green bud, but the bud was unusually large, the size of a man's fist, and the blue luster flowed on it, and layers of life overflowed, even forming a circular ripple visible to the naked eye, like a treasure.
Since he had eaten the fruit of life several times in his previous life, Joshua didn't have any thoughts of appreciating it now, he simply picked it up, took a bite, and after chewing it a few times, he swallowed it, and suddenly, the rich vitality of life overflowed, and a warm current surged, spreading from Joshua's stomach to his whole body. The turbulence repaired many very minor injuries in the warrior's body, and the still gray hair on Joshua's head fell out at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then grew new thick black hair.
However, that's all, Joshua's gold-level body was already almost perfect, and it had already reached the point of being invulnerable, and some naturally occurring toxins had no effect on him, and the fruit of the ordinary tree of life would at most allow him to improve his attributes a little and heal the dark wounds in his body, only the shoots on the eternal sacred tree could significantly improve him.
However, the Tree of Life grows slowly and almost never sheds its leaves, and I don't know how long it will take to want them, especially the Sacred Tree, to grow new shoots, and this is a legendary artifact that no amount of money can buy.
“…… The taste is a little better than the previous life, mountain spring flavor, a little sweet. ”
After eating this one life fruit, Joshua knew that it was enough, his body was now full of vitality, and he even had a little urge to vent it, and the second life fruit had no effect on him, unless it was when the warrior was injured in the future and needed to replenish his life force.
However, it seemed that because of the overflow of energy in his body, Joshua felt that the Azure Orb hanging on his chest was slowly heating up.
The warrior took out the pendant of the Azure Orb from his chest, and he carefully looked at the cyan crystal that was radiating light, the fire in it no longer emitted bright light, but it was still burning slowly in the crystal, and the sacred runes were circulating around, exuding reassuring power.
Now, as Joshua's power overflows, it seems to be stimulated, equally releasing the radiance of pure order.
"......Who is the sage who left the Azure Orb and the twin blades of order?"
Looking at this tinder, the inheritance crystal that could lead him to the state of the Soul Burning King, Joshua muttered to himself, and then fell into deep thought.
Evil gods, sages, these are the existence of information that he has not heard much information in his previous life, of course, according to his guess, these should be the characters and content that will only appear in the fifth edition, regardless of whether the resistance of the human race succeeds or fails, it will only appear after the end of the abyss invasion.
And at that time, it will be a war between many legendary powerhouses, gods and evil gods, and the information of the lost sages should also be unveiled at that time.
It seems that even if you experience it once, there are still many things you don't know, and the real world is so vast that people can't help but be curious.
Sighing, Joshua laughed again, even if he didn't know the information, he didn't know the information of the Discord Continent in his previous life, didn't he also become a legendary warrior? The advantage in this life is so great, he has no worries or fears about the future.
However, as soon as he remembered the Abyss invasion, Joshua couldn't help but think of his final battle in Naya's fortress.
In the previous life, who betrayed them and gave themselves a backstab on the battlefield between humans and demons?
Putting his hand on his abdomen, where he had been pierced by the blade of mercury in his previous life, Joshua's face was solemn, his eyes were cold, and he seemed to recall the touch of ice metal piercing through his body, and countless of the most resentful curses spread, instantly stripping his body of all power.
That feeling of powerlessness and unwillingness is really memorable and impossible to forget.
He is actually more magnanimous than everyone thinks, this is the bearing that a strong man should have, but only the betrayer, the warrior will never forgive, will not tolerate, only death is their end.
Since there have been no major events recently, it is better to start looking for the betrayer of the previous life from now on the corners of Joshua's mouth with a hint of coldness as he recalled the details in his memory.
It's definitely not a comrade-in-arms of the warband, players will attack each other will have a hint, the person who stabbed the betrayal blow must be a native, and there were not many aborigines who fought with their warband in Naya Fortress at that time, Joshua believed that as long as he eliminated them one by one, he would catch this betrayer one day.
Footsteps, heard from the stairs.
After a pause in thought, Joshua looked up and at the door.
It didn't take long for the figure of the silver-haired girl to appear in front of him with the sound of light footsteps, and at this time, the warrior's eyes softened a little.
"Master."
Hotaru was still holding a brush in her hand, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she seemed to be a little puzzled: "That, the black situation, seems to be a little strange......"
