When he came closer, Colin wanted to observe Shutel carefully, but he was almost involuntarily attracted to the ancient tree of life on the far left side of the mural.
At the same time, a noble name quietly emerged in his heart——
"Anilase!"
This is the language of high elves, which means the eternal mother tree that gives birth to everything, that is, the tree of life.
The sudden information made Colin secretly frightened, and he couldn't help but take another look at the mural.
The ancient tree of life on the mural is tall and majestic, and its entire body is pure gold.
I don’t know what kind of paint was used. Although it is a large area of gold, it does not look tacky at all, nor is it cold and sacred...but there is a faint hint of bright green, giving people a sense of vitality, as if seeing
It is seeing life!
'Such a mural would be of immeasurable value to a wizard who specializes in studying the elves!'
Colin carefully reached out and touched the mural, and a warmth suddenly came from it.
Although the Ancient Tree of Life has always been believed by the elves and is their eternal totem, the Ancient Tree of Life is not a cold god, but a magical creation of nature!
The elves believe in the ancient tree of life as their mother and totem, not as their master...
Withdrawing his gaze, Colin moved his gaze to the ancient tree of life.
Under the Ancient Tree of Life, two high elves wearing gray, black, and gold-patterned armor stood on both sides of the trunk.
'This armor is indeed very similar to the one on my body, but the differences can still be clearly seen...the gold patterns are more gorgeous and bright, and the gray and black armor is more exquisitely crafted.'
After carefully observing the armors of the two high elves and comparing them with his own, Colin came to a conclusion.
He shook his head. Although the elf armor on his body was already the most gorgeous and exquisite thing he had ever seen, compared with the armor on the mural, it immediately paled in comparison and was obviously inferior.
Continue to view the mural.
In front of the two Shutel, there were three high elves standing in the shape of a cross with their heads raised, wearing gorgeous sacrificial robes.
‘These should be the three kings of the high elves…’ Colin understood.
The ancient tree of life gave birth to the eight great spirits, and the three kings watched the ceremony separately, which has been passed down for a long time.
If he remembered correctly, among the eight elves, only the tree elves had three kings watching the ceremony at the same time, demonstrating their status second only to the high elves.
'It's just that, in the pictures of the ancient tree of life giving birth to elves that are usually circulated outside, the three kings who are watching the ceremony are basically blurred, and even their gender cannot be seen...
But in the murals here, although the faces are still unclear, the gender and clothing of the three kings can be distinguished!'
Upon realizing this, Colin was a little frightened, but he did not think deeply and continued to look at the murals.
The three kings watching the ceremony seemed to be two men and one woman at the moment. The queen stood at the front, while the other two kings were one position behind.
They all looked up at the tall ancient tree of life.
There, the leaves of the ancient tree of life faintly revealed a trace of emerald green, and the appearance of the tree elf was emerging.
If there were not two armor-clad Shupils under the Ancient Tree of Life, and if the appearance of the three kings was so blurry that the genders could not be discerned... then this would be the most common picture of the Ancient Tree of Life giving birth to elves.
But now... Colin looked back, feeling a little shocked.
‘What on earth is this alien space?’ His eyes flickered.
An extremely bold speculation vaguely emerged in his mind.
Phew~
The wind howled, and the dark red wind spread all over the field of vision. Even if it was already in a tree hole, it still could not be completely avoided.
Colin turned his head and looked around the deserted and lonely sacrificial tree cave again... his heart sank slightly.
‘No…not sure yet!’ He gathered his thoughts, shook his head, and continued to look at other murals.
Not long after, he had browsed through all the murals in the tree hole.
In fact, he knew the content of the rest of the murals, and they probably talked about major events in the tree elves, such as the first appearance of the flower elves.
Just like the mural just now, the other murals have many more details than those circulated by the outside world!
Colin stopped at the stone platform in the tree cave, frowning and thinking.
Except for the mural that gave birth to tree elves, there is no figure of tree elves in the other murals...
And just by looking at the mural depicting the birth of tree elves, you can't get any useful information at all.
I only know that Shutel may have a special status.
In addition, although the elf armor on his body was different from the one on the mural, he still felt that this armor was not simple... The reason why the pale golden barrier no longer blocked him now may have something to do with it.
However, the wind has not stopped yet, so there is no condition to test it.
After reading the mural, Colin ignored Naxi, who was in deep thought for no apparent reason, and went straight to find a relatively clean corner to sit down.
The dark red wind keeps blowing. I don't know where it comes from, and I don't know where it is going. I only know that the field of vision is always covered with a faint dark red, flowing rapidly, as if it wants to wash away the entire alien space.
Colin closed his eyes quietly and looked no further.
He was attacked by the dark red wind just now, but he was not unscathed... and the magic power in his body was not that much.
Even though the wind here has eased a lot, it is not that difficult to survive the wind.
"Tree Elf...Flower Elf...Shutel...Anelasai..."
In front of the mural, Naxi lowered her head in thought, her lips moved, and she kept mumbling.
When she noticed Colin sitting down, she subconsciously turned her head and looked over, with doubts still on her face.
After thinking for a moment, she slowly flew to Colin's side and suddenly asked:
"Good giant, do you know where they have gone?"
"them?"
Colin opened his eyes, and Naxi's downcast face suddenly came into view, which made him startled slightly.
Since meeting the elf Naxi, he has never seen her face look so depressed.
"Those tree elves, flower elves... good giants, do you know where they went?" Naxi raised her head and asked, with lingering confusion in her eyes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I don't know either." Colin slowly shook his head.
There were no corpses in the sacrificial tree cave, and there were no traces of fighting... The tree elves obviously did not become extinct because of some crisis.
There was nothing on the sacrificial stone platform, and coupled with the dark red wind that was constantly attacking in front of me...
Colin deduced that the tree elves here should have evacuated collectively to another place. As for where...there is no way of knowing.
"Little Naxi can't remember..." the red elf continued, his voice low and weak, "Little Naxi can't remember where they all went..."
Colin was silent.
It can be inferred from the traces in the tree hole that no elves have existed here for at least several decades.
If the entire alien space is like this, then I don't know how long the elf in front of me has been living here alone.
Maybe five years, maybe ten years...even, decades.
"Little Naxi, can you really remember nothing?" Colin asked again.
Naxi shook her head silently, and she didn't know what she thought of. Her expression suddenly became even lower, and even the wings behind her were drooped.
"What a giant..." Naxi was silent for a moment, then flew to his head and collapsed and sat down. It took a while before she asked aloud.
"Do you know why they left me alone as an elf here?"
Colin's lips moved, but in the end he said nothing.
There was silence in the tree hole, with only the sound of the howling wind.
Colin closed his eyes again, silently resisting the ubiquitous dark red wind.
………………
In this way, the day passed quietly.
At a certain moment, the dark red wind gradually weakened and finally stopped abruptly, and the world became quiet and desolate again.
The dark red color in front of his eyes quickly dissipated, and his vision returned to clarity.
Colin slowly opened his eyes and breathed out a breath.
The dark red wind that lasted for a day and night suddenly stopped, which was still a bit unaccustomed to it.
Resisting the urge to go out and test some ideas, he took out the magic release ring and took the lead in restoring his magic power.
After a hard day and night, even if the wind intensity in the tree hole is low, the magic power in the body has bottomed out.
After a while.
After Colin recovered his magic power, he wanted to stand up directly, but as if he thought of something, he paused slightly in his rising movement and stretched out his mental power towards the top of his head.
At some point, the elf Naxi above her head had quietly fallen asleep.
I have to say... the elf's resistance to the dark red wind is really high, and he can actually fall asleep in such a situation...
He moved the elf from the top of his head to his hands, and activated the flying and diving technique to fly forward.
"What a giant..." Naxi woke up, rubbed her eyes and looked around, "Where are we going?"
"Go take a look around." Colin replied briefly.
He came to the bushland at the edge of the tree cave forest.
According to his memory, Colin stopped after passing through the invisible barrier that now disappeared.
After removing the elf armor from his body, he turned around and tentatively reached forward.
Sure enough, that hard-as-steel touch came again.
"What a giant..." Naxi watched his movements, suddenly froze, and murmured: "Yes, there is a shield here... you can see it every time the wind blows."
Colin was slightly startled. Now that he thinks about it, the barrier will appear every time the wind blows...
"Naxi, how often does the wind blow?" he couldn't help but ask.
"Little Naxi remembers it!" Naxi replied with her fingers, "There will be a blow every seven sunrises and sunsets outside!"
'Once every seven days, with such a frequency... Naxi didn't even remember it.'
Shaking his head, Colin called out the Elf Armor again and tentatively stretched his hand forward.
The same action, but this time there was no hindrance.
Looking down at the gray-black armor on his body, Colin became more and more doubtful.
After a moment, he temporarily gathered his thoughts and flew high into the sky.
Passing through the dark red branches, the view soon becomes wider.
Lakes, mountains, grasslands, swamps...
As before, the terrain in this vast alien space is complex and changeable, with sharp boundaries.
There is almost no transition between different terrains and the lines are clearly defined.
Looking at this scene, Colin's bold idea came to his mind again.
His lips moved and he murmured:
'Could this be the legendary place where the nine great elves lived together - the ancient land of elves?!'
Even though he had deduced this result, Colin still couldn't believe it.
After all, the reason why the Ancient Elf Land is a legend is because no one knows whether it really exists, and no elf has ever publicly acknowledged the existence of the Ancient Elf Land.
The reason why such legends spread is because wizards found that elves would always disappear inexplicably, but they didn't know where they went, and then they would reappear after a period of time.
And the two elves who are strangers to each other on weekdays may become familiar with each other after disappearing like this...
In the past thousand years, the elves...especially the high elves, have gradually disappeared together with the dragons and orcs.
Wizards generally believe that the elves have returned to the legendary ancient land of elves...
All wizards want to have a glimpse of the ancient elven land. Legend has it that there are all kinds of elves here, and even the ancient tree of life lives here...
But no wizard has really arrived in this country belonging to the elves... Maybe there is, but at least he has never heard of it, and it has never been recorded in the classics.
The thoughts in his heart were complicated and turbulent, and Colin's face gradually darkened. The surprise and excitement of finding the elven kingdom faded away, and only uneasiness and... faint fear remained in his heart.
It goes without saying that the elves can be allies of the wizards together with the giant dragon orcs in the great war thousands of years ago.
If this is really the ancient land of elves...then what kind of crisis did they encounter that made the elves abandon their hometown and be forced to move away?
‘Is it the dark red wind?’ Colin raised his head and glanced at the deep purple sky.
This scenery, which I thought was magnificent at first, now looks weird and scary when I take a closer look.
"call--"
He took out a long breath and shook his head slightly.
All of this is just his inference, and he cannot easily draw a conclusion before finding the next place where elves live like the tree cave forest.
Colin looked up and looked into the distance.
Now that he was high in the sky, he could easily see that in the approximate center of the different space, there was a mountain that was incompatible with everything around it.
Light green mountains, or mountains that have not been completely soaked in dark red glass.
Withdrawing his gaze, Colin thought, and suddenly used the miraculous magic that he had not used for a long time - Anandu's Dice!
The golden dice fell from the sky and started spinning rapidly.
Colin waited silently for the results.
After learning so much information, he did not forget his original and most important purpose——
leave here!
In other words, it is to find a way out of different spaces.
The way out of the different space will naturally not be at the edge. When you don't know any information, since you want to find a way out, the first thing to consider is naturally the special features.
The so-called special thing...the high mountain in the distance is undoubtedly one of them.
As for the rest of the places, perhaps we can rely on Ananduo's dice to judge.
While thinking about it, the golden dice gradually stopped rotating and settled at two o'clock.
'Some bad luck.'
The dice turned into golden light and fell into his chest.
Two pieces of location information suddenly appeared in Colin's mind.
One of them, no surprise, is the mountain in the distance.
And the other one... Colin frowned and looked at the grassland not far away.
‘On the edge of the grassland, close to the mountain...is there a treasure?’
