Great Nobleman.

Chapter 2088 Get it! At all costs!
The next morning, on the terrace of Morning Flower Castle.

While eating breakfast, they listened to the conversation between Virianna, who was on the empty screen next to them at the site of Frost's sacrificial ceremony, and Brand from the simulated world.

Catherine pondered:
"Young master, Viriana wants to establish a kingdom of grey elves, so she should be the queen of the grey elves in the future?"
Just like the Elf King of the Elf Forest, Lord Clement?

After swallowing the delicious food in his mouth, Brand nodded and said:

"That is certainly true on the surface."

However, she, the Grey Elf Queen, is certainly no match for Lord Clement of the Elf Forest.

Of course, in the Eternal Night Kingdom, which is dominated by the undead, powerful forces like the [Tower of the Dead Night], which is mainly composed of gray elves, are rare. There is almost no other force that can compare with it.

Therefore, once Virianna publicly establishes the Grey Elf Kingdom, all the Grey Elves in the Eternal Night Kingdom will likely be drawn there.

Therefore, their future development prospects are quite promising.

However, this situation will inevitably attract the attention of many forces in the Eternal Night Kingdom, and the existing power structure of the Eastern Alliance of the Eternal Night Kingdom will certainly undergo some changes.

Not all forces want to see this happen.

This is why Viriana sought our help.

Sonia began to speak:

"This isn't too much trouble for us. We can just have the Nine-Headed Mosasaurus take a look around."

At this very moment, the Abyss's deterrent power is at its strongest.

I imagine these forces will come to terms with reality and calm down.

By the way, according to intelligence from the Imperial Intelligence Department.

The Radiant Holy Dragon and the Magical God clashed again in the northeastern sea area of ​​the Osia Continent a few days ago.

Although they still haven't determined a winner, the situation on the naval battlefield is increasingly tilting towards the continent of Osia.

As far as I know, the [Radiant Hall] fleet seems to be transferring large numbers of its personnel to land.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, I believe the war on the naval battlefield of the continent of Osia will come to an end in a little while.

Brand nodded and said:
"It was somewhat expected, but it doesn't really concern us."

The Knight Golem has settled down in the Land of Ten Thousand Rivers.

It's relatively peaceful over there; the [Radiant Fire Palace] shouldn't be able to reach it anytime soon.

"And if this continues for a longer period, the situation on the continent of Osia won't be so dire."

At the end, Hedy Lin interjected:
"I've been asking around these past few days."

I don't know about the Dwarf Village, but it seems that the Elf Forest does have some undisclosed secret agreements with the continent of Osia.

It's not just the Elf Forest that has been providing war supplies to the continent of Osia.

After the two fleets from the [Radiant Hall] appeared.

In the Elf Forest, some powerful members from various branches have begun to disappear without a trace.

It's entirely possible they changed their appearance and went to support the continent of Osia.

Hearing this, Ivy asked curiously:

"Someone actually went to join the war?"

Chris casually explained:

"The Elf Forest came into contact with the continent of Osia earlier than we did."

They might have discovered that some elves, like the lord's knight golem, had infiltrated the official upper echelons of the Osia continent.

Going further, it's even possible that they also acquired properties there.

In this situation, war would inevitably harm their interests.

Therefore, it can be inferred that they certainly wouldn't stand idly by.

At this point in the conversation, Brand suddenly patted Hedy Lin's arm and asked:

What is the "Pale Tree of Life"?
What is its connection to the Tree of Life in your Elf Forest?
Could it be a subspecies of the same plant as our "Fruit of Life"?

Upon hearing this question, Hedy Lin shook her head and replied while eating her breakfast:

"No, the Pale Tree of Life is the Mother Tree of Life for us elves."

In past eras, the appearances of the Mother Trees of Life from different continents differed significantly due to various external factors affecting their growth. Scholars from other cultures then gave them different names to distinguish them.

The mother tree on our mainland has been referred to by some scholars as the "Ancient Tree of Life".

Compared to the Mother Trees of Life on other continents, the Mother Trees of Life growing on our continent are generally larger and more lush, and they also appear older.

But that happened many eras ago, why are you asking about that?

No sooner had she finished speaking than Celine, standing beside her, suddenly urged excitedly:
"Brand, get it, at all costs!"

Upon hearing this, Heidi Lin followed Celine's gaze blankly to the image on the empty screen.

After seeing Virianna carefully holding a box containing an irregularly shaped 'wooden ball' about thirty centimeters in diameter, its surface covered with dry, wrinkled wood, placed in the center of a soft cushion, surrounded by a special barrier, I realized that Virianna was holding a box.

Heidi Lin was taken aback at first, then her pupils constricted involuntarily, and she said in shock:

"How is this possible? How could the mother tree's seeds have dried up like this!?"

As she said this, Hedy Lin put down her cutlery, stood up, and then jogged to the empty projection screen.

At the same time, her eyes also shone with a magical light, as if she were carefully observing it.

Meanwhile, at the same time, a sacrificial ceremony was being held on the simulated world, on the planet Frost.

Virianna explained to Brand in a bad mood:

"More than half a year ago, a group of gray elves from the western part of the continent came to seek refuge with me and brought this tree seed."

Their tribe has always kept it as a sacred object and guarded it in secret.

However, they have always had a very difficult time surviving, and they often need to migrate their territory. They also do not have enough resources to support their normal growth.

This led them to plant it multiple times, only to have to turn it back into a tree species shortly afterward.

Through repeated cycles, its vitality is constantly weakened.

Finally, they came to me and offered it to me.

But during this time, I have been unable to revitalize it through various means.

If I hadn't been able to sense that faint trace of life in it, I would have thought it was already dead.

I wonder if Mr. Bernard has any way to save it?

If you have a way to plant it, how about you take it and plant it?

Upon hearing this, Brand hesitated for a moment before carefully speaking:

"The Tree of Life is indeed a rare thing."

If you ask me if I can save him, I'm not sure; I can only say I'll try.

Of course, I could also ask the Elf Forest on the continent of Farns.

But... are you giving it to me?

Viriana nodded, then stated frankly:
"We have tried everything, but none of it has been able to save it."

Few powers or groups understand the Pale Tree of Life better than we do.

If there's anyone who still has a chance to revive it, it's almost certainly the Elf Forest of the Farns Continent, where the Tree of Life still exists.

I don't know them well, nor do I trust them.

However, you have a certain relationship with them, and your status and strength are enough for them to take you seriously.

Furthermore, in many eras of our Rios continent, the Pale Tree of Life was destroyed in the constant struggle between various forces before it could fully mature.

I think it would be good if it could thrive in Frost, under your protection.

If you are willing to nurture it, allow it to grow steadily, and permit me to check on its progress occasionally, I am happy to offer it to you!

After learning about the convoluted origins of the story.

Although they were already incredibly impatient, Celine and Heidi kept urging them on from behind.

But Brand always maintained the mysterious and great image that Virianna had always had of him.

After a symbolic moment of contemplation.

He nodded, then responded in a flat tone:
"I agreed."
