my age of magic

Chapter 1282 86. The Long-Sealed Secret
"In the beginning, there were low-level dryads dying in this war, and then the war intensified, and I don't know when, after the first ancient war tree fell in the forest, we could no longer control our hearts Our hatred and fear, our lives are so long, and all the ancient war trees are not willing to be the losers in this war."

"This war has lasted for hundreds of years on the plane of Hierro. The more powerful the ancient war trees are, the easier it is to be besieged and killed by other ancient war trees. They often die in the early stage of the war. On the contrary, the least powerful Threatening young war ancients can live a little longer."

"During that chaotic era, there were many times when I thought my life had come to an end, but in the end I was lucky enough to survive."

"Finally waited until the World Tree returned from the outer domain, and after his consciousness and power returned to the body, he saw the devastated Hierro plane, only to find that the Hierro plane had almost turned into ruins, and nearly 400 war ancients Trees and tens of thousands of dryads died in this war, and our ancient tree family also fell in this civil war."

"It's a pity that the life of the World Tree was about to come to an end at that time. He quelled the war with his last bit of strength, and imprisoned the 49 ancient war trees that survived the war on the earth with magic, and used a huge The magic circle restricts our ability to walk, allowing us to live in different corners of this forest, so as to prevent us surviving ancient war trees from fighting again."

The Ancient War Tree seemed to be telling a very old story. Obviously, he was also one of them, and was sealed in this forest by the magic of the World Tree.

"Is that World Tree dead? Then where did the wreckage of his body go after his death? Did he become the Pillar Mountain of the plane of Hierro after death?" I couldn't help asking.

In the black forest on the Hierro plane, I didn't find the remains of the World Tree.

"Those pillar mountains are only the unique landforms of this plane, and they are not transformed from the World Tree after death." The ancient war tree said to me slowly.

He blinked his huge eyes, like two searchlights flickering dim yellow light in the fog cover.

He became a little confused, and said to me uncertainly: "I don't know, it probably went to a distant star field. It is said that it has found a hiding place at that time, and it intends to hide its body in In the turbulence of time, prevent those old enemies from snatching his body after it dies."

Hearing what the Ancient War Tree said, it made me think that Xinliu Valley is in the turbulence of time, but there will be a tide of time every ten years, and it is only during that time that Xinliu Valley will be with you. outside connection.

The ancient tree of war said again: "Before it left the Hierro plane, in order to let the Hierro plane recuperate, it put all our ancient war trees into an endless sleep. Leaving the Hierro plane with the main body."

Thinking of the nine-stage floating mountain range in Xinliu Valley, I couldn't help but ask the Ancient War Tree: "Did the World Tree take away the entire mountain range?"

The Ancient War Tree became a little dazed again. He pondered for a while, and then replied: "Maybe! This place has already changed beyond recognition, and I can't remember the original appearance of this forest."

He used that thick and huge arm to lift us above the canopy. We stood on the top of the canopy at a height of [-] meters and looked around this huge shallow lake and black forest. It was just that the place too far away was shrouded in a faint mist. Under the fog, it is impossible to see clearly.

The Ancient War Tree said to me: "This is the whole picture of this forest in my eyes. I have been imprisoned in this Dustwallow Marsh for so many years, and my memory has become blank. If it wasn't for this promotion, let me peep I am afraid that I will not be able to recall those things before until now that have been sealed in the depths of my memory."

His voice was like rolling thunder, and every time he spoke, I felt as if rolling thunder exploded under my feet.

The ancient war tree continued to say to me: "I tried to use my spiritual power to wake up other ancient war trees sleeping in the black forest, and only eleven of the 49 ancient war trees that were sealed at the beginning responded."

Hearing what he said, I thought the key of power was a token of contact with other ancient war trees, so I said, "Is this the secret of the key of power?"

The Ancient War Tree held us in front of his eyes again, and said to me: "When the World Tree sealed us back then, it also gave each of our Ancient War Trees a key of power. A strong person can be born, and when he is recognized by all the ancient war trees, as long as the keys of power in the hands of all the ancient war trees are combined, it is said that we can lift our seal."

Having said all this, I did not understand the function of the key of power until now.

"It turns out that this key of power is the key to unlock the seal!" I said to the ancient tree of war: "But... after so many years, so many ancient trees of war have died, where can I find the key of power in their hands? ah!"

The ancient tree of war said that 49 ancient trees were originally sealed in this deep forest, but now he can only contact eleven of them, which means that the whereabouts of eleven keys of power can be traced according to this clue. As for the whereabouts of the other power keys I'm afraid I can only find the key slowly, but in my opinion, this is an impossible task.

"Actually, it's a good choice to just die of old age on this island in the middle of the lake." Ancient War Tree said slowly.

If an ancient tree wants to die of old age, it does not know how many years it will take. It is said that their life is as eternal as time.

"But you gave me this key of power." I looked down at the emerald green leaf hanging around my neck and said to it.

I reached out and untied the key of power from my neck, and said, "Sorry, I am temporarily unable to help you find the rest of the key of power, maybe you can wait for me to get rid of these things around you, and then I can help You seek other keys of power."

The ancient tree of war did not take back the key of power, it said to me: "I asked you to take it to the green valley forest just as a token, now you should keep it as a souvenir, Anyway, it is impossible for anyone to gather all 49 keys of power."

"..."

I was silent for a while, then raised my head and asked him: "I'm going to the Green Valley Forest, do you need me to bring any message to that Mr. Tree Weng?"

"..." The Ancient War Tree didn't speak.

"If not, then I'm leaving!" I said.

It turned out that this key of power turned out to be the key left by a world tree on the plane of Hierro long ago to unseal it.

Being able to hear the whispers of the dryads in the black forest may be one of the abilities attached to this key of power.

Seeing me bid farewell to it, the ancient tree of war put me, Katerina, and Luka the tauren on the ground of the island, and we jumped off the huge arms.

The two Hierro girls were waiting quietly on the small island in the middle of the lake, and the four Gubolai horses stood peacefully on the grass beside them with their heads bowed and grazing.

Lakeside, meadows, girls, horses...

……

We bid farewell to the ancient war tree, left the small island in the center of the lake in Dustwallow Marsh, and walked south along the path in the Black Forest.

After five nights of continuous driving, I finally saw the edge of the green valley forest on the sixth day.

I can feel the dryads in the jungle welcoming us.

Through the tree spirits, I found Kalancuo and Justus in the Green Valley Forest. They were staying in the Green Valley Forest with four hundred barbarian slave fighters and one hundred orc warriors In the eastern area, surrounded by the spider camp in the east of Green Valley, the Nibru spiders were tightly suppressed in the spider camp and did not dare to show their heads.

Another [-] Yero native warriors were also in this area, fighting together with the orc warriors of Kalantso.

The native warriors set up some traps in the dense forest. With the help of the dryads in the Green Valley dense forest, they can hunt and kill some lonely spider warriors in the dense forest with the standard military crossbow and short flying spears in their hands.

Occasionally, the indigenous fighters meet some five-member patrol teams of spider warriors, and they can also set up an ambush in the forest. Although the combat effectiveness of the indigenous fighters is not too strong, they are natives of this forest and are very familiar with the environment here. With this advantage, during this period of time, the scouting team of the spider warrior suffered a lot.

I took Katerina directly to the east of the jungle and found Kalantso's hidden camp in the east of the Green Valley jungle.

This is a very dense red pine forest. There are giant pines 80 meters high everywhere in the forest. Some indigenous warriors hide in every corner of the pine forest. After our group entered this forest area, even if we walked into their sight Among them, from time to time, some indigenous people carrying hardwood bows and standard military crossbows probed our way around the giant pine.

These Yero fighters don't know us, so they are somewhat wary of us, but they don't want to get close to us.

There was a sound of intensive hoofbeats, and a group of orc knights ran out from the depths of the dense forest, and Kalancuo ran at the forefront on horseback.

When she walked through the dense forest, she would duck her head to avoid the branches, and she rode like a gust of wind.

Kalancuo ran out from the depths of the jungle to meet me with a group of orc knights. The orc warriors have improved a lot in their riding skills through this period of battle. They are riding on horseback and becoming more and more like constructed knights. .

The camp was built on a swamp. All the tents were built on some huge old tree roots. The living conditions were very simple. Nearly half of the tents were soaked in muddy water, and the barbarian slaves were also covered with mud. , but they don't seem to care about the muddy environment, only those heavy crossbows hanging on the tree trunks have been wiped clean.

In this forest area, there are nearly a hundred trees that are hundreds of years old, so the natives of Yero strongly recommend this place as a camp.

I brought some new supplies to the orc warriors and barbarian slave warriors. I opened the portal in the camp of Kalanzo, and let the barbarian slaves move out the materials prepared in the underground warehouse, including some Supplementary weapons, arrows, corpse fire oil, first aid healing potions, hemostatic bandages and marching rations, etc.

"How long are you going to stay here this time?" Kalantso asked me, leaning on the pillar at the entrance of the camp, with his arms folded.

"Together with you, we will pull out the spider camp on the east side and I'm leaving!" I sat on the root of the tree outside the tent, watching the barbarian slaves move boxes of supplies out of the tent, and said to Kalantso.
