When the magician, who no longer looked like a human, appeared in front of the elves again, he was still holding a living elf in his hand.
The one who was alive was so weak that he could not speak. There were no obvious injuries or signs of bleeding on his body. Then the reason why he is so depressed is that the magic rope tied to his body exudes powerful power.
Carrying the young elf's collar, Lin directly placed him in front of the old king and said: "This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. After all, he is His Majesty's biological son, and I am not easy to deal with. Fortunately, he did not He was so strong that I had to use stronger means to capture him. Therefore, this one will be left to your Majesty to make your own arrangements.——"
After saying one thing, Lin pointed to the forest behind him with his thumb and mentioned another thing.
"——Also, I want to complain. There are not just the more than 400 elves your Majesty said, but 691 people within the scope of the World Tree. Because as soon as they see me, they start talking He shouted and killed them, so I fought back. Now there is no one left, Your Majesty will not mind."
Judging from the resistance of the Shenmu Guards within the World Tree, Lin was actually vaguely reminding two things. The first thing is that the suppression of the Amelan Palace was immediately known to the Shenmu Guards stationed here. That's why when they see a human being, the elves here don't even say hello and just come over to kill them.
Regarding this point, if there is a reporting mechanism within the kingdom, as soon as something happens in the palace or royal city, various communication methods will be used to notify the Shenmu Guards stationed in the World Tree. Saying this is more like praising the other party. Respond appropriately.
After all, under normal circumstances, when the royal capital is attacked, the Shenmu Guards can become a powerful reinforcement. So reporting is the right thing to do. But if there is no good reporting mechanism, and the intelligence of the royal capital is known to the troops guarding the World Tree so quickly, then the intentions behind it are very negotiable.
But another point that was made was purely to sow discord. As far as the king knew, there were only more than four hundred elves stationed here, but there were actually six to seven hundred. If it's just a fraction of the difference, there's still something to say. But the number was nearly half the number. The extra people were stationed within the World Tree without the king's knowledge. This only proved that the royal power had been isolated.
But what happened to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Looking at the only living person brought out within the scope of the World Tree, Andre Priel's expression was quite complicated.
When he saw the rain of human heads falling, he once thought that sooner or later his child's head would appear in the pile of human heads. A sense of despair deeply eroded his soul. But when the person was brought out and saw his appearance, in addition to pity, there was also an indescribable feeling of disappointment.
But no matter what, when people come out, they still have to explain something. Looking at his sluggish son, the old king asked: "The weakness of the dog is probably caused by your magic. If it can be lifted, please lift it."
Lin didn't bargain much on this kind of thing. He just snapped his fingers and released the magic that bound the crown prince - the Immortal Binding Rope. Losing all kinds of debilitating magical restraints, the young elf jumped up, pointed at the only human present and yelled: 'Butcher! Do you know who you are offending? Elves, my subjects, kill him! Kill this human! Whatever reward you want, I will give it to you. I am the crown prince of the Kingdom of Armenia, and I can agree to any request. kill him! Revenge for all the elves! '
When the young prince saw a bunch of people with pointed ears next to him, he subconsciously distinguished them from the only human beings, and tried to use his identity to order his 'subjects'. As you can imagine, no elf paid attention to this jumping young prince.
In fact, the wood elves who were watching, even if they broke away from the enemy's position, they did not want to be enemies with the magician. Unexpectedly, the mountains of human heads are piling up, silently describing the threat of this magician. This is a sacred tree guard formed by the selection of elites from an elf kingdom, and it is also a battle that takes place in the realm of the World Tree.
The tragic situation of these elves in the Kingdom of Armenia threatens all wood elves: Even if you run back to your tribe and are covered by the World Tree, you are not safe at all.
If you were brave before, go in and take a look at the magician's methods, and maybe think about ways to deal with it. But it was due to military regulations before, so no one did it. These people all regretted it at this time.
Even if you know the opponent's methods, you may not have a way to deal with them. But the feeling of knowing nothing is very uncomfortable. Especially before, I thought that this human being was just a clown who was trying to impress people and make the World Trees happy; but I didn't expect that the other person was actually a big shot who could really stand on an equal footing with His Majesty. That feeling was all kinds of sour and refreshing, and there was also indescribable pain.
In this case, no matter whose order you follow, provoking this magician is really the same as seeking death. Not to mention listening to the orders of a son of a defeated army and challenging one of the commanders of his own coalition army.
But when the young prince saw that the elves were unmoved, he seemed to have transferred his resentment and cursed at the elves. How can anyone not be angry at such a change? It's just that the elves who participated in the coalition forces and were qualified to command the front line were not that young and frivolous. How could they care about an unarmed child.
But if these outsiders can endure it, how can the father endure it? What this stupid son is losing is his own face. Andre Purier punched his own son in the chin with a solid punch, knocking him unconscious in one blow.
After straightening his sleeves, the old king said with dignity: "Can anyone please help me tie up this stupid son with ropes or vines? I will discipline him well after I go back."
After all, it was a request made by a king. Naturally, someone among the wood elves came forward and used the vines summoned by Druid spells to tie up the unconscious Crown Prince and plug his foul mouth. . One can imagine how resentful this man's unscrupulous remarks were.
At this time, the old king lowered his head for a rare moment, and greeted Lin: "Your Excellency, thank you for your magnanimity in sparing my son's life."
Lin turned sideways and bowed his head humbly, saying: "I said, I'm not here to kill, I'm just fighting back against all unfriendly behavior. Well, I have also found the heart of the World Tree Chloe Yi. District location. Go early to liberate this person’s consciousness, and everyone should go home and rest early. Except for your majesties, everyone else can repair it in place."
After someone finished speaking, he put his hand on the old king's shoulder and said: "Since it is your world tree, it would be better for you to be here. So let's go together." Without waiting for the old king's response, a certain person The man took the king, who had no time to refuse, and left in a flash.
The heart of the world tree Chloe is not hidden in an area that uses space folding technology like the heart of Fasnas. This place is similar to the heart of the Lahti tree that Lin has been to before. Everywhere he sees is covered with magic circles used to kill gods. Evil spirits full of resentment were floating around, constantly consuming the weak consciousness in the tree's heart.
Judging from the intensity of this resentment, a blood sacrifice must have been held not long ago. After all, after following a lich for several years, even if Lin couldn't use undead magic, he still had some basic eyesight. In addition, this god-slaying magic circle had been used on World Tree, so Lin You went to find out more about it.
A closer look at the six blood pools around the heart of the tree revealed that, as expected, there were still broken limbs floating on them. As for where the blood sacrifice people came from, Lin didn't want to delve into it at all. After all, before seeing the scene here, the group of Shenmu Guards had already been slaughtered by him. We can't kill them again to avenge the dead here.
It seemed that this was not the first time the old elf king had seen such a scene, so his behavior was far more calm than when the young king Ridan III saw the heart of the world tree Lahti. But compared to Shu Xin's situation, he was more concerned about who was being sacrificed to blood by the members of the Shenmu Guards.
If the members of the Shenmu Guards had escaped from his control to such an extent, then it would be debatable whether the objects of the blood sacrifice were those they had told them about. So he tried to identify the identity, or race, of the deceased from the remaining remains.
The only people who entered following someone's flash were twenty-one holy envoys holding World Tree clones in their hands, and another king who came with the army. The tragic situation in the heart of Chloe Yishu cannot move these experienced elves. The World Trees will not have any special emotions just because of how their fellow humans are treated.
If they really cared about the situation of other world trees, all the wood elf tribes would have turned against the elf kingdom long ago. But the fact is that before someone proposes a plan to transform the land, all the World Trees do not care about each other, even if there is a Turtle Dove Alliance that becomes the link between the trees.
But since the world tree Chloe is to be liberated, the scene in front of her must be dealt with. It's just that... everyone has thought of many ways to restore the consciousness of the World Tree, but none of them is about 'what to do after a blood sacrifice ceremony'. Therefore, all the World Trees remained silent, and the Elf Holy Envoys were already outside the situation. Of course, they could only look at each other at this time.
As the magician most familiar with the God-Slaying Magic Array among those present, Lin was pushed out to take charge of solving the problem at hand. A certain magician with a home background was more interested in communicating with people, fighting, and solving magical problems, so he accepted this temporary task without hesitation.
According to Fen, the God-Slaying Magic Array is very old. Therefore, unlike the era when all kinds of magic knowledge was relatively complete, the array patterns were organized and standardized. Therefore, it is a little more difficult to interpret.
However, with the support of the computing power of the twenty-one World Trees, all the magic circles in Midland are edited in clear code according to procedural terms, without any encryption processing, so the cracking work is not as difficult as imagined. Coupled with the preparatory knowledge obtained from Fen, Lin soon understood the working principles of the God-Slaying Magic Array.
