In the backyard of Cravenna Mansion, the sacred tree standing atop thousands of miles of greenery began to collapse at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The emerald green leaves were replaced by withered yellow, and they were scattered in the blue sky, like spots on dead leaves.
Wrapped in dead leaves, the numerous branches stretching into the clouds gradually shrank.
Energy flows inside the spirit tree, converging all the way to the heart of the tree.
The dense branches that looked like a web drooped down one after another, lowering the upright body, breaking, and collapsing.
The thick trunk also collapsed, and abundant natural energy flowed through the surface.
But the bark of the tree sank into the hill like pieces of falling rubble, and the dry and pale trunk was exposed to the eyes of the elves through the dead leaves.
The elves who knelt down and prayed in front of the sacred tree were stunned when they saw the scene in front of them.
His eyes widened, his body leaned back slightly, and he looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.
The sacred tree withered?
In the past thousand years, although the sacred tree has been burned once, it has never withered.
In their impression, the sacred tree should be immortal.
The elves looked at the fallen leaves, as well as the falling dead branches and shriveled bark, and felt in a daze.
It seems that only the hill where the sacred tree is located has been touched early by the autumn and winter seasons.
As more and more tree bark piled up in front of them, the elves felt powerless.
They all lowered their heads, their eyes were empty, and their tears were pouring down.
But what's the use of crying?
They could only watch helplessly as the sacred tree was destroyed.
Even if the sacred tree in front of you is not the real Ader sacred tree, that sacred tree still stands in the Elf Forest.
However, the sacred tree located in the garden of Cravenna Mansion is also their spiritual sustenance.
It is still the sacred tree that they need to believe in.
The elves were silent for a while, a storm of dead branches and fallen leaves roaring in their ears.
But suddenly, a bright green light flashed in the empty peripheral vision.
The space began to twist, slowly pulling towards both sides. Under the power of nothingness, a portal flashed out of thin air.
Ripples appeared on the surface of the emerald green magic power, and a robe covered with leaves emerged from it first.
Weniya held a slender wooden staff in her hand, with a circular ring drawn on the slightly curved staff.
She walked out of the portal slowly with light steps.
The moment those dull-faced elves saw Venia, light appeared in their empty eyes, as if they saw a ray of hope.
They all turned around and shouted respectfully to Venia:
"High Priest."
Since Kokot built a bridge between Kravenna and the Elven Forest, one can travel freely between the two worlds.
The high priest will frequently appear in the human world.
As soon as she appeared, she saw the elves on the ground in a daze in front of the sacred tree.
The emotional state of our compatriots seems to be a little bad.
After nodding to the elves, she looked around, wondering what was going on.
Suddenly, a withered yellow leaf fell on her shoulder, and Vinia was slightly stunned.
She gently twisted the leaves with her hands, and the yellow leaves turned into ashes and disappeared in her hands.
A bad premonition came into her heart, and Weniya turned around tremblingly.
This sight made her feel bad.
Her eyes widened, her fingers pointed at the huge sacred tree with its bark and branches peeling off, and her mouth trembled.
No, what is going on?
She has lived for so long and has never seen the sacred tree wither!
No wonder the elves were in a bad mood, now her mood also became bad.
Something big happened!
Alarm bells rang in Viniya's heart, and her ears stood up.
There is only one possibility for this kind of thing to happen to the sacred tree, and that is because there is no natural energy.
She quickly shouted anxiously to the elves with a trembling voice:
"Why are you still standing there? Go find someone quickly."
The elves looked at each other, looking at a loss.
Who should they go to?
The elves, who have lived in a comfortable and peaceful environment all year round, have not used their brains for a long time.
Now, even when facing a crisis, they forget who to look for to solve the problem.
Since the high priest said he was looking for someone, who should they look for?
Oh yes!
The Lady of Cravenna!
After the elves realized this, they ran towards Cravenna's mansion in a mighty manner.
…
At this time, two young girls were walking between the buildings of Cravenna Mansion.
Zola followed Liya and visited the old home of the Cravenna family.
An exquisite hollow vase stood on the table. Zola looked at the workmanship of the vase carefully and couldn't help but be amazed.
What a beautiful vase.
Zola looked around the vase, while Liya stared at her with a smile:
"This is an antique vase given by Duke Levi. It must be in good condition."
Ever since Duke Levi's daughter, Erica, became a third-level mage.
The Du Croy family often sends various rare and precious antiques or valuables to the Cravenna Mansion.
Liya knew that these were all due to Victor.
So she accepted it with peace of mind.
Zola was not surprised when she heard Duke Levi's name.
Duke Levi of the Empire also cooperates with the Chamber of Commerce.
Basically, many of the antiques sold by the Chamber of Commerce were provided by Duke Levi.
I don’t know where the Duke got so many treasures.
Liya looked at Zola who was a little lost in thought and suggested:
"Miss Zola, let's have dinner at Cravenna Mansion at noon."
"In the afternoon, we can visit the firearms factory in Blyston."
Her interest in admiring the vase was replaced by the gun factory. Zola immediately raised her head and looked at Liya and said quickly.
"Of course, I have plenty of time!"
If she talked about this thing, she wouldn't be sleepy anymore.
Suddenly, the mansion began to shake.
Liya and Zola felt the vibration and looked around for the source
The window was shaken and banged, and the two people quickly grabbed the vases around them to prevent these valuable items from collapsing and being smashed.
Immediately afterwards, the door was suddenly pushed open to both sides, and a bunch of elves poured into the mansion, falling to the floor one after another.
"Miss Liya, Miss Liya..."
"Something happened! Something big happened!"
A bunch of elves raised their big watery eyes and stared at Liya, their eyes full of sadness and grievance.
Looking at these helpless elves, Liya couldn't help but wonder, and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Don't be impatient yet. Let's talk slowly one by one."
"What happened?"
The elves, who were originally at ease and only needed to produce some natural energy, are now acting in a panic.
Even Liya panicked, fearing that something big would happen.
At this time, Zora followed Liya up.
When she saw the elves with long pointed ears all over the ground, her eyes widened.
Shocked words blurted out:
"Your family actually catches elves!?"
…
Liya followed the anxious elves with a serious look on her face.
She knew that Victor took Kokot to the sacred tree.
But now, according to the elves, something big happened at the sacred tree.
What about Victor? Will something happen to Victor?
After hearing the news, Liya felt as if her heart had been scalded by hot water, and she urgently urged the elves to go faster.
Zora trotted behind them and barely kept up. Looking at Liya's back, she became even more embarrassed.
Halfway through, she thought for a moment.
Catching elves is too weird.
You know with your butt that offending or annoying the elves will not end well.
Reminiscent of the elf that Victor held in his arms, it was said to be the elf queen.
She was not surprised that elves appeared in Cravenna's house.
But what happened to make Liya so anxious?
While she was still thinking, suddenly, the huge sacred tree came into view.
Zola couldn't help but stop, raised her head, and looked ahead with dull eyes:
"Oh My God……"
She opened her mouth wide and her language skills were a bit out of control.
In front of her were countless elves, with their backs to her.
They clasped their hands and folded their arms, facing the huge sacred tree, with their eyes closed, as if praying.
The bright green energy surged out of their bodies, rose into the sky, and gathered on the sacred tree.
Under the nourishment of these natural forces, the broken and collapsed sacred tree seemed to be covered with a layer of wonderful light.
The sun shines, and the golden branches and trunks are wrapped in light.
The sacred tree covered in golden light was now flowing with bursts of bright green color.
The tangled golden tree roots became illusory, but they still sank into the hills and turned up the soil.
Under the skylight, the golden sacred tree swayed slowly.
Venia looked serious, raised the wooden staff above her head, and recited a prayer spell.
Green light was released from the scepter, illuminating the base of the sacred tree.
Neat prayers echoed in the backyard, and the dim light above Venia's head gradually flickered, blending into the Elf Sacred Tree.
After the prayer ended, Venia opened her eyes and looked at the sacred tree that was gradually returning to life.
She could sense that the energy inside the sacred tree had been completely drained for some reason.
"This...how is this possible..."
"Hehe, nothing is impossible."
A playful voice sounded, and Vinia was a little disbelieving. She was too familiar with this voice.
She quickly followed the sound.
At some point, Victor appeared near the sacred tree.
He was holding Kokot in his arms.
But Kokot seemed to have no strength, even one of his arms drooped.
Lying in Victor's arms, he looked like a waste.
But the expression on her face looked very proud.
Weniya looked at Kokot, who had not seen him for a long time, and was very surprised:
"you……"
Kokot raised her eyes, and the golden light emitted by the sacred tree seemed to wrap around her.
She looked at Venia with a smile and asked expectantly:
"Huh? Do you notice anything different about me?"
Weniya blurted out:
"Why are you not sleeping at this time today?"
"..."
Kokot originally wanted to say that he slept for half a month, but he almost slept to death.
But Weniya didn't seem to know that she slept for half a month. After thinking about it, she still didn't say anything.
It's not that I don't want people to worry, I just think I'll be laughed at.
So she closed her mouth and said nothing.
At this time, Zola was standing on the grass illuminated by golden light, and her eyes were filled with golden light.
She was shocked into silence by the scene in front of her, and her mind was in a mess. There were huge waves in my heart.
This, what exactly happened?
Zola subconsciously looked for Liya, but found that Liya had already walked towards the direction of the sacred tree.
She passed through the elves and came to Venia:
"So, the matter is resolved?"
