Chapter 101 Hidden History
Merlin couldn't laugh or cry at Richard's answer. From the time he saw Richard, he was a person, when had he ever seen a large number of people? Moreover, in the sea of forests, a large number of people is not necessarily useful, and the will of the forest has obvious suppression of outsiders. Richard didn't explain to Merlin, but asked her to take her to a wooden house to rest, prepare some water and fruit, and make dinner that night.
That night, Richard's heart was so busy that he couldn't calm down to meditate no matter what. Many dusty memories came to my heart, and my heart was full of indescribable tastes. It was now certain that the Eternal Night Tribe was inextricably linked to the Silver Moon Elves in the Eternal Night Forest, and that the Great Elder was an acquaintance of Gordon and Elani, and that there was no real hostility towards ZÃ i, otherwise she would have killed Richard with her strength.
Richard originally thought that the Great Elder was just an ordinary legend, so he dared to come to see her alone. But now, it seems that the Great Elder is much stronger than ordinary Legends, between Super Powerful and Legendary. However, when they met, Richard also smelled a rancid stench. That smell could only emanate from the Great Elder, and it seemed that she was indeed seriously injured, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to control the rancid smell. So who could hurt her like this?
In a barrage of unanswered questions, Richard ushered in a new day.
Early in the morning, he went to see the Great Elder. The Grand Elder was still sitting in his living room. In front of her was a long table, on which stood her spear and Richard's elven knife side by side. When Richard walked in, she still let Merlin leave, then looked at Richard and said, "You must have guessed that I have something to do with your parents." To be exact, Ilani is my best sister, but I haven't seen her since her father broke through the Eternal Night Forest. My name is Akane ......"
The Great Elder spoke eloquently, and Richard listened with bated breath, and an unknown secret history unfolded in front of him.
Back then, after Ilani and Akane separated from Gordon, they returned to the historical night forest hidden in Yongzhang 101. At that time, Gordon, the rugged man, had quietly settled in Illani's heart. But Elani is the sacrifice of the moon god Elucia, and the next high priest who is determined. She must be pure, both physically and spiritually. So Illani buried this matter deep in her heart, but when she was extremely depressed, she once mentioned it to Akane once. At that time, both Akane and Elani thought that they would never see the young man who had brushed the stables many times.
With the concern in Illani's heart, her progress in the moon power became slow. At that time, in the Eternal Night Forest, the Elven Court still nominally ruled the entire forest, but in fact, several Great Elven Kings went their own way, and the Royal Court was actually in a state of division. There are many contradictions between the elven tribes, arrogance, prejudice and short-sightedness, and many elves have even put forward the lie of recovering the lost territory and rebuilding the elven empire. At that time, all the High Elves in the Eternal Night Forest together did not exceed 100,000, and the population was not as large as the standing armies of the three major human empires.
At that time, the young Akane was not used to the chaos of the Elven Court, and she was also depressed, so she left the Eternal Night Forest and went to other planes to hone her martial arts.
Little did they know that Gordon had returned, and that he had met Illani in such a way. Fate is cold, and even if it is a joke once in a while, it will only make people smile bitterly.
When Akane returns to the Forest of Eternal Night, she sees the aftermath of the apocalypse. The Elven Court was breached, the Tree of Life was cut down, and it was dragged to the Eternal Dragon Hall as a sacrifice. The Eternal Night Forest is also dotted with many surviving High Elf tribes, who have finally gathered together and prepared to travel through the Sacred Tree Dynasty and the Great Plains of White Sand, and finally go to sea in the western part of the continent to the Elven Qingcang Continent. After Gordon broke through the elven court, he quietly withdrew. Perhaps because of the loss of pressure, during the assembly, several surviving Elven Kings quarreled over the leadership, and even started a civil war.
In fact, when Gordon attacked the Eternal Night Forest, these elf kings did not resist together, and some even deliberately did not send reinforcements, so as to use Gordon's hand to destroy their old enemies. Gordon's sense of war is extremely keen, and when he is about to make a plan, he will defeat several of the most combat-effective elven tribes one by one, and when the elven kings realize that the shape is wrong, it is too late.
Akane was disappointed in these elven kings, and she was tired of the never-ending infighting and wars, so she decided to lead a group of elves of her tribe on a plane expedition to the plane that her ancestors had discovered, and open up a new life. That plane is Ousen. However, at that time, the Silver Moon Elves were no longer as strong as they were in the Elven Empire, and the dimensional passages opened up were fragile and unstable, and the elders of the tribe all fell in order to resist the erosion of the power of time, and in the end, the entire tribe reached the Ousen alive only a hundred people.
As the most gifted warrior of her time, Akane inherited the position of Grand Elder, and she demanded that all members of her clan never mention Norland's past, so that when a new generation was born, they would think that they were the elves of the Orimori. Nearly twenty years have passed in Norland, and more than 100 years have passed here. The tree of life planted by Akane herself has now become a mid-level tree in the mature stage, more mature than Richard's tree of life. And this Living Tree was transferred from the Elven Royal Court, and even if it is not very adaptable to the Orimori Plane, it has the potential to grow into a World Tree. And Akane has also changed from a girl back then to a legendary samurai today.
More than 100 years have passed......
Looking at his mother's sister back then, Richard was in a trance. He smelled a faint putrid smell in his nose again, and couldn't help asking, "Great Elder, no...... Aunt Qian, what's the matter with your injury?"
Akane sighed and said, "I've fallen under the curse of Iscara, the demon god from the Plane of Annihilation, and the power of the curse is far beyond my ability to bear, and I won't live long. â
"Demon God of the Annihilation Plane?" was a name Richard had never heard of.
Akane said, "The Plane of Annihilation is a world located near the deepest part of the world, which is full of the power of destruction and annihilation, and it is difficult to maintain even a single physical form. But there is life there, very few in number, but all extremely powerful. When each individual matures, they have the power of a demon god, and can even maintain a short-term survival in the turbulence of time. Soda, the nemesis of Elothea, the patron saint of our Silver Moon Elves, is a demon god of the Plane of Annihilation, and its name is Sixteenth Night. Therefore, the plane of annihilation has always been the great enemy of our elves. â
"That...... Iscara, he's coming to Ousen?" Richard asked. If it were, it wouldn't be fun.
Akane shook her head and said, "He can't come...... I only spelled out his projection in the interdimensional temporal storm, and that's when I fell under the curse. â
At this point, she coughed heavily for a while before continuing, "Iscara, seems to specialize in lies, deception, and curses. It was not by chance that it appeared near Oumori, but someone summoned it. The one who summons its will...... is a guardian spirit of the World Tree. â
Richard frowned and asked, "Didn't you say that the Demon God of Annihilation is the great enemy of all elves?
Akane shook her head and said, "I don't know either, but you have to be careful of the World Tree here." I suspect that its will has been twisted. â
Richard keenly noticed that Qian was using you, not us, and immediately panicked, and hurriedly said, "Aunt Qian, don't worry about your injury. I can take you back to Norland, where the High Priests of the Eternal Dragon Temple have a good relationship with me. They must have a way to save you!"
Richard was confident in this. If none of the priests of the Eternal Dragon Temple could save anyone, then there was no other way.
Hearing Richard's words, Akane chuckled a few times, but regained some of the vitality of her youth. She was not yet two hundred years old, and among the powerful Silver Moon Elves, she was equivalent to twenty-three or four years old as a human being, which was supposed to be the peak of her strength. Looking at Richard's confused look, Akane shook her head and said, "Richard, you don't know the demon god of the annihilation plane. Once targeted, there is no way to escape this plane. As soon as the plane teleport is performed, it will immediately know where I am going, and thus cut off the plane channel. Anyone who teleports with me will be lost in the Dimensional Storm, and I won't be able to hold out for long, and you won't be able to hold out for a few seconds. â
"So......" Akane smiled and said, "Anyone can go, but I can't." Also, I'll show you my curse, I'm afraid it will scare you. â
As she spoke, Akane slowly took off her mask, and Richard froze.
Under the mask, there is no incomparably delicate face of the High Elves, but there is a face that is almost like a skeleton. All the flesh was shriveled like zombies, clinging to the bones. Just after listening to Akane's girlish voice, and seeing such a face again, Richard didn't know what to say for a while. And he could also see that wisps of gray breath kept coming in and out of her mouth and nose as Akane breathed. This is the power of the curse of the demon god, which is already so powerful that it is visible to the naked eye.
"How's it going, do you see the power of the curse?" With Akane's voice, a large cloud of gray gas erupted from her mouth again. But Akane opened her mouth and sucked it back again, not letting it spill out.
The face is like this, and the body must be almost the same. Akane slowly put on the mask and returned to a state where her whole body was wrapped up and down.
"Iscara needs to drain its Origin Power to sustain my cursed state, so the longer I hold on, the greater its loss. Even if it is an annihilation demon god, it will take at least a hundred years to recover. Akane's calm voice revealed imperceptible pride. Her gaze fell on Richard's face again, and she said, "Now, let me see how far your Silver Moon bloodline has developed." âvīŧīŧīŧ
