Richard didn't answer and asked, "Are you the tree of life?"

"Yes, I'm talking to you through the Guò Guardian Warrior. ”

Richard reconnoitred the elven warrior floating in mid-air, and saw that his vitality was rapidly disappearing, and it was obvious that the incomparably large will of the tree of life had far exceeded the limits of this elven warrior.

If you want to communicate with an extremely large life form like the Tree of Life, you first need strong strength to withstand the impact of the will, and secondly, you need to have the support of talent, so that the intensity of the impact of the will can be greatly reduced. Individuals such as elven warriors, who do not have either of these conditions, can only carry the will of the tree of life in the form of overdrawing their vitality.

So Richard said, "However, I don't think you value the lives of these guardian warriors either. ”

"Their vocation is to protect me and die for me. "The Tree of Life is rightly spoken, and the elves have no intention of objecting in the slightest.

Richard smiled and said, "So don't talk about destruction and killing, we have different principles and perspectives." And I'm not here to reason with you. Since it seems that you have a wisdom that no other Tree of Life can match, you need to convince me now how I can cut off the heart of your Tree of Life without cutting you down and taking it away. This stuff has a lot of value to us. ”

The Tree of Life was silent for a moment and said, "What do you have to say?"

"It's up to you what you can do for us. We get your Life Tree Heart, and we can get a lot of things, such as power, powerful artifacts, extra lives, and so on. ”

Speaking of this, Richard's heart was relieved, and Nereth also showed a slight joy. This tree of life does have extraordinary wisdom, but the more wisdom it is, the more it cherishes life. The Heart of the Tree of Life is indeed a rare offering, more than is required for ordinary high-level sacrificial rituals, but it is clear that a living Tree of Life is more valuable.

At this time, the elven warrior in the air had run out of life, and the Tree of Life did not hesitate to throw him down, grabbed another captured warrior, and reloaded his will on it. The whole process took several minutes, but it was actually time for the tree of life to think and weigh up.

"Can I know what you're here for?" asked the Tree of Life slowly.

"It is for the conquest and exploitation of resources, not for the destruction and endless plunder. Richard replied.

The Tree of Life fell silent again, and Richard reminded it, "Those elves are no longer your guardians, but my captives, and they belong to me. So if you want to consume their lives endlessly, then I'll just take your tree. ”

The Tree of Life could no longer be silent, and said in a deep and gentle voice: "If you live on my body, you can absorb the breath of life that I naturally release, so that you can increase your strength faster. In addition, I will gather the breath of life that permeates the forest and condense it into a spring of perpetuity, which can sustain life and ensure that life that is originally extremely infertile will give birth to offspring. The Fountain of Eternity is newly generated every year, enough for ten elves to give birth to offspring. Of course, if it is a more powerful life, it needs more fountains of perpetuity. ”

The hearts of many people present moved slightly, and Nereus immediately rushed to ask the crucial question: "What is the range that the Fountain of Eternity can use, and is there an upper limit to its power, for example, can it be fed to some kind of holy beast?"

The Tree of Life replied gently, "As far as I know, there are no restrictions on the use of the Fountain of Sustainability. Even if it is a holy beast, it will have an effect, but the amount required by a true holy beast may be too much, and maybe the eternal fountain accumulated in ten or even decades will not be enough for it to use. ”

Richard's heart moved, and he attached himself to Neris's ear, and asked softly, "What do you want to do with it?"

Nereus replied, "Let the she-dragon lay eggs!"

When Richard heard this, he was equally impressed, but continued to quietly say to the Tree of Life: "This is not enough, what else?"

The Tree of Life seemed to have decided to compromise after hearing Richard's purpose of conquering and using resources, and his tone became softer and softer: "Every ten years, I can bear a fruit. This fruit contains a full breath of life, and if you take it, it will increase the natural life by about ten years. ”

Richard and the others were immediately moved. Fruit of the Tree of Life!

This is also a legendary treasure in Norland, extremely rare, and gradually forgotten by people as the elven tribe withdrew from the Norland continent. So much so that standing in front of the tree of life, no one thought that there was such a thing as a legendary zài.

In fact, in Norland, the ordinary Living Tree inhabited by the small elf tribe is unable to produce the Life Tree fruit. It seems that it is the unique environment of the Green Forest Plane that allows such a tree of life to produce the fruits of the tree of life.

It can be said that the Fountain of Sustainability and the Tree of Life Fruit are already more valuable than the cut Heart of the Tree of Life, because they can be produced continuously. If you want to take the heart of the Tree of Life as a sacrifice, you must divide it in order to pass through the Guò plane portal. The Book of Time of Quicksand can be used as a temporary altar, but the strengthening of its body is far from being in place, and the loss of divine grace is very large, so it is better to cut the heart of the tree and transport it back to Norland to sacrifice.

"What else?" asked Richard.

The Tree of Life says, "My delicate shoots are an excellent material for making the staff of nature." But don't pick too much, those special branches, you can only pick two at most a year, otherwise it will damage me. ”

This was an added bonus, and Richard remembered something again, and asked, "Can you free us from the oppression of the will of the forest?"

"Yes. As long as you take a leaf of mine, you will be recognized as a green forest life by the will of the forest within the scope of my ability, and it will not be affected again. This range is about a hundred kilometers. If I want to expand again, I need to grow again. ”

Richard quickly sketched out the scope in his mind. The Tree of Life and the Plane Gate are about two hundred and thirty kilometers apart, and if each is a hundred kilometers away, it means that there is still about thirty kilometers of danger zone in between. Unless he brought his sacred unicorn with him, even Sher would not be able to safely cross the thirty-kilometer strip.

"The range is a bit small. Is there any other way to narrow the scope of the forest's will?" asked Richard.

“...... Deforestation. After being silent for a moment, the Tree of Life actually gave such a proposal. "When forests are cut down, the will to forests shrinks accordingly. If you can cut down a one-kilometer-wide passage, then in the middle of the passage, it will be a safe area. In addition, those who have taken my leaves will also have a much greater resistance to the will of the forest. ”

Richard nodded, feeling that this was indeed the solution. Then he asked the last question: "How many living trees are there in this forest, and are there any world trees?"

"There are still thirty-five Trees of Life, and as for the Great World Tree, I can only feel that it exists in distant places. But I don't know where it is. ”

"Can you mark the location of these living trees?"

The Tree of Life was silent for a moment, and actually refused: "I'm sorry, this is beyond the limit of my life instincts. If I name their location, they will immediately wither. All the trees of life are intangible, and I have to follow the rules. All I can say is that there are three trees of life around your city, and I am one of them. ”

Richard also stopped forcing it, saying, "Okay, that's enough for that." Is there a tree of life fruit now?"

The trunk of the Tree of Life shuddered slightly, as if it were going through a painful process, and a moment later a branch fell from the depths of the canopy and fell in front of Richard. At the end of the branch, a fist-sized cyan fruit fell from a cluster of verdant leaves. The peel is nearly transparent, and the inside can be seen filled with emerald slurry. It has a faint fragrance that makes you feel refreshed when you smell it.

This is the Tree of Life fruit!

Seeing it is like seeing ten years of extra life.

Richard was the first to come to his senses, and when he looked around, he saw that some of the people were still gazing at the fruit of the Tree of Life, while others were thoughtful, and even Scheer was a little eager to try. Pamir's face was a little gray, and he shook his head helplessly, his magic power had gone to the ground, and he was powerless even if he wanted to do something. Lina is looking at Richard, the dragon mage and the red dragon can be summoned, which will be Richard's biggest hole card now.

In the blink of an eye, Nereus and Agamemnon also came to their senses, and they glanced at Richard, who shrugged and said, "Richard, put this thing with you first! ”

Nereus had already taken a stand, and his men naturally put out other thoughts. Richard didn't shirk either, took out the magic sealing box inlaid with shadow diamonds, gently plucked the fruit of the tree of life, and put it in the magic sealing box. When the fruit was plucked, the tree of life trembled again and seemed to be in pain.

When the fruit was plucked, the Tree of Life did not retract its branches, but shook it, saying, "This branch can be cut off as a raw material for the staff of nature, and the leaves on it have the ability to isolate the will of the forest as I just mentioned." ”

Richard picked the leaves, gave everyone a slice, and then took off a few hundred leaves, put them in the sealing box, and prepared to give them to the elite warriors when he returned.

At this point, Richard's trip can be said to be fruitful, he looked up at the tree of life, and said, "If the other green forest elves know about your situation, will they come to snatch you back, or destroy you directly?"

"They won't ruin me, that's not in line with the rules. Rather, I will do everything in my power to destroy you, so that I will naturally return. What I can promise you is that I will be there to help you in the battle until your warriors stationed here are completely wiped out or retreat on their own initiative. ”

Richard smiled and patted the trunk of the Tree of Life and said, "Very good! I'm glad we were able to come to an agreement." ”
