After mixing the power of the deep sea with the magic power of the trident, Reina can now easily turn the magic power into water. Although it is not drinkable, it is very convenient when taking a bath.
"Stop! What are you doing!!"
But Songlin was jumping up and down anxiously.
"Ah! This! This is??"
The Guoguos on the side were also shocked, they had no idea what Reina was planning.
Reina easily filled the Well of Life with water created by magic. She clapped her hands, took out a dark red bead from her arms, and threw it into the water tank with a pop.
"It should be okay now."
She looked at the red beads that quickly sank to the bottom of the water, clapped her hands and said. The two Komori people also lay on the Well of Life, looking at the Heart of the Sacred Tree in the water with Reina.
As time went by, the dark red stone at the bottom of the bubbling water did not change at all.
"Moving!"
Rena suddenly made a surprised sound.
"Idiot! That's the water moving." Song Lin cursed, then he frowned and looked at this strange stone.
"Guoguo, come here."
It suddenly took Guoguo away for a distance, then it leaned close to the other person's ear and said, "Do you feel like you have seen this thing somewhere?"
Songlin's question coincided with Guoguo's doubt. It also felt that this red stone seemed a bit familiar, but it just couldn't remember where it had seen it before.
"Hmm...I feel a little bit like this too, but what exactly is it?"
Guoguo started to think.
"How about asking her?"
"You are stupid, that guy will definitely not tell us."
"What are you two whispering about?"
At this moment, a huge face appeared next to the two of them.
"ah!!"
"No! It's nothing!"
The two of them were shocked. Reina frowned with a suspicious expression. Then she sighed and said, "It still doesn't work. Are you lying to me? This is not the Well of Life at all."
Hearing this, Songlin clenched his fists and protested: "This is the Well of Life! Forget it if you don't believe it!"
Guoguo smiled bitterly, flew to Linna, and said, "I guess what you are looking for is the nectar of the sacred tree, which is the sacred water that originally appeared in the Well of Life."
"Yes! This is what I'm looking for! Is there any way you can get some for me?"
Reina asked bluntly. If she had been asked this question more than a hundred years ago, the small forest people like Songlin would have kicked her out without hesitation.
But not now, because they don't have either.
"Before answering this question, please answer me a question first."
Pine Forest suddenly became serious. It raised its head and looked at Reina, pointed at the wet dark red stone in her hand, and said, "What the hell is this?"
"This? This is a very important thing. It seems to be called... the Heart of the Sacred Tree."
When she said these four words, Song Lin and Guo Guo's faces suddenly turned dark, and the two of them became quiet. Mr. Qiu, who was silently observing on the side, noticed their changes and silently came to Linna's side.
forward.
"Then do you know an elf named Isabella?"
Songlin asked in a low tone.
"You're talking about the Elf King? This is what she gave me. How did you know?"
Hearing this, Song Lin and Guo Guo slowly backed away and looked at Reina with hostile eyes.
"That means you are from the elves! You are our enemy!!" Pine Forest roared, its eyes wide open, showing an angry look.
"Ah? Why? Aren't you and the elves friends?"
"They were before, but they committed an unforgivable crime! Now they are our enemies!"
Guoguo also showed an angry expression.
Rena frowned.
offense?
"They, what did they do?"
"Unforgivable! They committed a heinous crime! It is absolutely unforgivable!! You actually helped those sinners! You are the bad guy! Get out of here! We don't welcome you!" Songlin cursed, but under Mr. Qiu's glare
, it took two steps back, gritted its teeth, turned around and ran away.
But another Komori, Guoguo, still stayed here. It looked at the leaving pine forest with complicated eyes, and then turned around.
"Aren't you leaving?"
Reina was also in a bad mood. She frowned and sat on the ground in distress.
Now she doesn't know what to do, all clues are gone, maybe she should go back and ask Lynchard.
Guoguo flew to Linnai's side, stood on the ground, and then sat on the stairs like Linnai.
"Actually, there is a reason why Songlin is so angry. The rebellion more than a hundred years ago dealt a serious blow to us Xiaomori people. Songlin's wings were also broken at that time, and many of our companions were also in that disaster.
Die."
Guoguo lowered her head and Linnai glanced at her.
"Can you tell me something?"
"Well, if you are willing to listen..."
So, it told the whole story.
Thousands of years ago or even longer ago, a race looking for immortality found the legendary tree of life. This race was the ancestor of the elves. At that time, the Komori people were already the guardians of the sacred tree. They expelled
All those who are looking for the sacred tree, including the ancestors of the elves.
But unlike all the people who came to look for immortality, those people were more perseverant. They settled directly outside the sacred tree. You know, the appearance of the sacred tree cannot be seen in the outside world, but they are still determined
Believe, the sacred tree is here.
It is unknown how many years have passed, and the people living outside the sacred tree have reproduced from generation to generation. As for how many years have passed, the Komori people do not know. During this period, the lives of this group of people have been watched by the Komori people.
In the eyes, the Komori people are also being influenced subtly, and their appearance is becoming more and more human-like. At first, the Komori people had different shapes, like various creatures, and finally evolved into this appearance.
Later, the Komori people were moved by their simple life and honest character. Finally, they decided to make a request to the sacred tree to let the ancestors of the elves stay...
The sacred tree promised, and the final result was for the ancestors of the elves to send a representative to make a contract with the top of the sacred tree. Only the Elf King and the sacred tree knew the content of the contract.
The Well of Life was born from this. The one who accepted the contract was the Elf King, who had the power given by the sacred tree. The power of the sacred tree obtained by the Elf King could give his people immortality and life force.
Spirits evolve from the power of life, and all this comes at a price. The elves, except for the Elf King, are not allowed to enter the forest of the sacred tree. They can only live outside. And they must protect the gods from generation to generation.
Tree, use the power given by the sacred tree to resist the enemy.
This power makes the elves become a major force comparable to humans and demons. Humans envy their lifespan, and the demons envy their power. There is a glorious moment in history that belongs to the elven empire.
But that was short-lived. Times are changing. The elves who rely on the power of the sacred tree discovered that humans will continue to develop new weapons and new magic. For them with long lifespans, it is like an acquaintance who changes every time they meet.
The same appearance, and the kind that gets better and better, watching the other party gradually surpassing itself. And the demons also have unprecedentedly powerful demon kings. They even defeated the human army, and even the elves had to look down on them.
of human alliances.
This thorn has been piercing the heart of the elf, and the Komori people also know that during that time, the elf king often prayed to the tree of life to give them stronger power to resist the enemy.
"However, the Tree of Life refused. The decline of the elves was not because they were too weak, but because they did not want to make progress. Unfortunately, they would only blame the tree for not giving them enough power. Just over a hundred years ago, a
The great defeat caused the elves to panic, and under the pressure, the new Elf King committed an unforgivable crime."
Guoguo looked back at the sacred tree. It sighed and said helplessly: "During the ceremony, the Elf King Isabella used evil magic and let the power of darkness taint this land. We Komori people and
The elves fought a war, and we lost the battle. We Xiaomori people never expected that the elves would betray the sacred tree. Song Lin, the king of the forest, was also seriously injured in that battle. And the power of the sacred tree was destroyed.
Taking away most of it, the heart of the sacred tree in your hand is the magic stone made by Isabella with evil magic to imprison the soul of the sacred tree."
Reina was stunned. She would not have thought that those elves would do such a thing. She thought of Isabella who was one with the sacred tree. Are they all lying?
If it's like what Guoguo said, then isn't she helping bad people do bad things? However, although the elves do make her a little annoying, there are also good people like Kekeli and Sister Dodolo among them.
Suddenly Reina felt goosebumps in her heart, her stomach tightened, and she felt extremely disappointed.
Guoguo suddenly grabbed Linnai's hand. She smiled bitterly, showing a helpless expression and said, "I believe you know nothing. You are a kind human being."
"But, what should I do?"
Reina looked at Mr. Ball, who closed his eyes and shook his head. Then she looked at the dark red ball in her hand. At this time, she felt that the ball exuded a foul smell and was very heavy.
She still lost her image, but she remembered what Isabella looked like before she died.
Are people who sacrifice themselves for their people like that really bad people?
She couldn't figure it out.
Suddenly, she felt a sense of fear in her heart.
What if the person she is looking for is a bad guy in the eyes of others?
Reina suddenly retracted her hand, lowered her head, and crossed her arms.
confused.
She was desperate to find her memory, but she suddenly felt confused. She felt that her eyes were hazy, as if there was a layer of mist, making her unable to see what was ahead.
"Are you... okay?"
Guoguo saw Linnai's strange behavior and asked worriedly.
"Leave her alone."
Mr. Qiu suddenly spoke, and Guoguo showed an uneasy expression, wondering if he shouldn't tell her so much.
"Okay, be careful, there are some nasty bugs here."
After leaving these words, Guoguo also left.
The water in the well of life has also dried up, and Reina is still sitting on the steps with her head lowered.
Mr. Ball didn't say any words of comfort, it just stayed by Reina's side silently.
The sun rose to its highest point in the sky, then set towards the western mountains, and finally the sky turned light red.
Renai sat there all day. Just when Mr. Qiu was hesitating whether to light a fire, Renai suddenly said: "Mr. Qiu, I want to know something. Can you answer me?"
Mr. Ball looked at Reina. It had no heart, but he felt that his heartbeat seemed to be speeding up and he became nervous.
Don't think too much, little princess.
"Well, as long as I can say it."
it replied.
If it could, it would tell everything it wanted to know. It wanted to tell Reina who the person she was looking for was and tell her everything about the past.
But it couldn't speak.
"What would you think if I did something very bad one day?"
Reina suddenly asked a question that Mr. Qiu couldn't answer for the moment.
Mr. Ball looked at Linnai, knowing that Linnai was in a very dangerous situation at this time.
"From the moment I was given life and consciousness, my duty was to protect you. No matter what you did, I would also protect you. This is the meaning of my life. If you ask me what I would think, I would just
It can be said that I have no human concept of good and evil. No matter what you do, it doesn't matter to me. But if that makes you sad and painful, then I hope that will never happen."
Mr. Ball said.
Linnai smiled bitterly, touched Mr. Ball's round head and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
Then she sighed and looked at the half-night, half-twilight sky.
"Then what is the meaning of my life?"
She couldn't help but sigh.
"Forget it! I'll think about the things I can't figure out later! I have to go back quickly and find Brother Lynchard! Ask him what he's hiding from me!"
Rena regained her energy.
"By the way, Mr. Ball, can you help me get this?"
She said while holding the Heart of the Sacred Tree, Mr. Qiu took it without hesitation.
"certainly."
Later, Reina left the Well of Life.
When we returned to the exit, it was already night, the sky was full of stars, and the surroundings were filled with the sounds of insects.
"Brother Lynchard!! Where are you?!"
Rena's shout broke the chorus of insects, and the surrounding area became quiet. Only a figure and a ball were seen walking from the forest carrying a lantern.
"Strange, I clearly remember it should be around here."
She looked underground. As a road addict, she would leave marks on the road to avoid getting lost.
At this time, there was a piece of wood stuck in the ground at her feet, which was her entrance mark.
Suddenly, she saw a white strip of cloth tied to the wood. She took it off and found some words written inside:
"Our mission has been completed, and the rest is up to you. Although I want to say this, you must have fallen into a dead end now. My suggestion is that since the Elf King has chosen you, it also proves that
She is willing to accept your choice. No matter what, you are not a bad person.
Maybe you have noticed that we have met before. I don't deny this, but the person you are looking for is definitely not me. Maybe you shouldn't worry about the past and should look forward. If you want to find someone anyway,
Go back to your memory, then go to the Ika Empire.
Goodbye and wish you a safe journey.
——Lynchard”
The writing ends here.
For some reason, Reina felt a sting in her heart. She felt that she might never see him again in this life.
At this time, two days' walk away from here, in a burning forest, Lynchard was holding a sword and Lilith and others were looking ahead. A strong man with a giant sword in his hand and an evil look on his face was floating in the sky.
Among them, he looked down at everyone with a contemptuous smile.
"It's time to pay back the money you owe me, Auro!!"
