Although it is in ancient Elvish language, the content expressed is very simple.
But such a simple sentence immediately caused a huge reaction. All the puppets that were still entangled with the three forwards immediately exploded with a string of sparks. After the sparks, seven of the puppets were immediately paralyzed, and the remaining
Two of the six puppets were kicked down the abyss before self-destructing. The last four puppets turned around and then attacked the enemies who had densely gathered in front of the team.
So Shade and the two gentlemen from the Thirteenth Ring didn't waste any time, and immediately continued to move forward with the four puppets. With the help of these powerful constructs, the team's forward speed after starting up again was even faster than before.
quick.
The bloody massacre caused the mountain of corpses and sea of blood on the stone bridge to be forcibly separated. Two minutes later, the team finally arrived in front of the temple.
When the puppets walked out of the door just now, they had already pushed open the two giant metal doors that were tens of meters high, so the group of people entered directly into the indoor part of the temple. The purple-black air around them disappeared, and the three fortune tellers then
The anti-death barrier has been lifted, but the rest of the team still needs to turn around and kill the monsters trying to enter the temple.
Fortunately, the battle was over here. The moment the left hand of the first ghoul whose right hand was cut off by the moonlight entered the temple, the whole temple suddenly shook.
Because everyone was indoors at this time, they could not see the eyes of the two huge elf statues standing on both sides of the temple flashing at the same time. The next second, a white light lit up outside the temple. After the light disappeared, the stone bridge went up and down.
Two-thirds of the monsters exploded into ashes, and even the ancient witch didn't realize what the trick was.
Then the remaining four elf puppets pushed the door, and the temple door closed with a rumbling sound. When the last crack in the door disappeared, the hustle and bustle outside the door completely disappeared.
Only then did the people who breathed a sigh of relief have time to check the situation of the team and take care of the wounded. Shade, who turned around and held up the light ball to look at the huge hall where he was at the moment, found that the structure of the room was very simple.
More than twenty meters away, there is a fifty-meter-tall elf statue standing with his arms crossed on his chest, and there are murals on the walls between the statues.
"It seems like this is describing the ancient battle that sealed the remains of the World Tree in the Second Era."
Seeing that there was no other situation around him, Mr. Elderron also called out light to illuminate the towering murals:
"Godcaller, you know the best about the stories of the woodland. Are there any differences between the descriptions on these murals and the stories you know?"
"I want to take a closer look. The two paintings at the door should depict the original story. You see, this is the collapse of the World Tree, and the departure of the ancient gods is the beginning of the story of the woodland."
In the mural the two of them looked up at, giant trees with roots deeply rooted in the earth and their crowns passing through the clouds occupied most of the picture. Relatively small people were worshiping under the trees. From those
Judging by their human clothing and pointed ears, most of them are elves.
The belief in ancient gods is widely spread among all races, but since this is an elven ruins, the elves on the murals must be the majority.
It's just that the specific process of the ancient gods' departure was not depicted on the murals. I don't know if the ancient elves didn't witness it with their own eyes, or if the process couldn't be painted at all, or if it was simply taboo.
The next mural is a branch that fell into the forest and took root. However, the tree did not grow toward the sky, but grew toward the ground after taking root:
"The hanging tree."
There was no attrition in the team just now. Although some people were indeed injured, it was not considered life-threatening. Therefore, after simple treatment, the team continued to move forward following Mr. Shade and Elderron who were observing the murals.
.
There is no light inside the ruins, so the ring wizards can only summon light balls for illumination. The story that follows is roughly the same as what Shade knows. The trees that took root and sprouted captured many villains with their "roots", and then attracted
Troops from all directions came to attack.
The scenes of the war are depicted in eight huge murals on the left and right. The facial features and details of the armor of many of the characters that are obviously highlighted are lifelike, and there are even a few angels among them. They are probably from that ancient battle.
The "protagonist" in it is the hero of that era.
It's a pity that even if they were recorded in this way, later generations would not know their stories and legends at all.
"I know this. This Elf King once held the crown in my hand. I knew who he was when I saw his face."
Emilia whispered, but now is not the time to talk about ancient legends, so the group continued to move forward.
The subsequent murals depict banquets, meetings and scenes similar to medal ceremonies after the war. In the penultimate mural, a group of people stand together with solemn faces and look at the shape of the modern Vista woodland.
It's a very similar map, except that the map in the mural has a huge gap through it.
As for the last mural, the five chairs that Shade was very familiar with stood on the edge of the open space, and the elves were singing and dancing in the open space to celebrate their victory.
At the end of the story, the narrative is obviously not smooth, and some important information seems to be missing in the middle. After seeing the last mural, continue forward, which is the end of the palace.
When everyone looked there, before the various colored light balls illuminated the darkness, the darkness took the initiative to light up.
The green color outlined the shape of a tree. As the light became stronger, they also saw that it was a big luminous tree planted on a high platform.
The roots, trunk, and crown of the big tree are all green and translucent, and the light is flowing inside the tree. If the "watchmaker" hadn't been standing in front of the green tree, Shade would probably have observed it more carefully.
It clicks.
"You are finally here. It seems that my mission in this boring night is coming to an end."
The woman with a glass bead embedded in the dial in her left eye and thirteen hands tied to the ends of her hair seems to have been waiting for the group here for a long time. She did not take advantage of the ruins to suppress everyone's perception and launched a surprise attack just now. Now she is facing everyone
His gaze didn’t mean to call out the life ring:
"I originally thought that those ancient elves left such a large area of ruins and would have put some valuable things inside, but I didn't expect that they actually just used this place to record history."
She leaned against the trunk of the big glowing tree, not nervous at all because she was facing more than twenty people by herself. The real eye on the right looked at Emilia in the crowd, and then remembered the last time she
Using the word of sublimation to make a sneak attack and then being killed by the big elf.
Emilia was not afraid of her at all, but pretended to be fierce and glared at her.
Then the woman in front of the tree smiled and said:
"The only valuable ones here are the constructed creatures. Ms. Paavo from the [Truth Society] originally said that they would be very reliable after modification, but now haven't you incited them to rebel with just one word?"
She said to Emilia, and then continued to complain about her allies:
"If you ask me to say that the [Truth Society] is more famous than our [Tree Hole Association], it's just that they are very good at promoting themselves. Everyone is an illegal organization in the eyes of the church. Why can they be revered as 'Truth' if they conduct illegal experiments?
"Professors of the Association', our research on time travel can only be called the 'group of people from the Tree Hole Association'?"
If it hadn't been for the wrong occasion, Shade was pretty sure he would have laughed.

"There are also those lunatics from the [Crow Club]. If it weren't for the guarantee of the Ancient One this time, I wouldn't cooperate with these people at all. If you cooperate with the devil, you will be unlucky for a long time;
[Blood Spirit School] Not to mention, 'Bloodweeper' Hermons is beaten by you every time he appears. Now he gives me the impression that besides being seriously injured and recuperating, he is the only one who can run very fast.
Soon;
On the contrary, the ring wizards of [Tyranny Club] are very ambitious and seem to be good partners, but it is a pity that their current focus is not on the Vista Grove."
She probably had to wait here for a long time, so she couldn't hold back what she wanted to say. After she finished nagging her words, she pointed to the tree she was leaning on behind her:
"This beautiful tree was also left by ancient elves. I don't know what kind of tree it is, but in short its only function is to carry memories. As long as this tree is alive, the memories contained in it will always exist. It's a pity that
Normally, this is something that can only be used by elves, and it probably contains content related to that ancient war."
She stood up straight so that her back was temporarily away from the tree, and then waved to Emilia perfunctorily:
"Then let's get started, elf. But this time, isn't the other you here?"
"What? Another what?"
Amelia still didn't understand. Just when Shade was about to speak, the "watchmaker" smiled and said:
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Although you have brought so many people, due to the rules of the Time War, this is a fair one-on-one showdown between the two of us."
As she spoke, the thirteen life rings finally appeared behind her. Because the witches had shared information, the church and the academy also knew that she had been promoted to the thirteenth ring, so they did not appear surprised.
Just when Shade and others were retreating from behind Emilia, Miss Olanold stepped forward and stood beside the elf:
"Sorry, I think it's not one-on-one this time. As for whether it's fair or not, I will evaluate it after we finish the fight."
The elegant and intellectual half-elf witch gives people a very different feeling from ordinary people. Brienne Olanold has the ability to attract people's attention even if she stands silently in the crowd. And when she said this, she stood up,
It looks even more different.
