"That's right." Elena nodded.
"The reason why that area is classified as a restricted area by the elves is probably because of the existence of this mother tree of life." The old man Wind King stepped forward and said word by word: "I know your life experience, and there is no magic heaven." Being divided is a great shame to the elves. They expelled you from the tribe for this reason. Their arrogance makes them unable to agree with the path you choose from the beginning to the end, even as the Sword King. The identity returns..."
"I know this." Elena said and clenched her fists involuntarily: "Their vision is so narrow, they are unwilling to explore and have no tolerance. Even though they all know that the bloodline they cherish is not pure, they still refuse to Let go of the arrogance in their hearts. They guard the evergreen tree of life and cultivate it day after day while taking and asking for it without restraint. If they could realize earlier that the reason why the tree of life no longer bears fruit is because Due to our own greed, the tribe will not be declining like it is now."
Looking at the other party's profile, Barong said calmly: "So you betrayed."
"They did not expect that Elena's return was to steal the nutrients from the Mother Tree of Life in order to realize their own interests and resurrect the two people who died on the battlefield. They will not let you do this, so you join forces with the Ice Witch and their guardians A conflict arose. The result is self-evident. You have received nutrients from the mother tree of life, but you have discovered that life allows the container to collect and dissipate consciousness, and you need to pay an equal price in exchange." Baron looked into Elena's eyes, hers His vision averted slightly.
"Elena, you are no longer an elf, right?"
Baron's words made Artolis's heart tremble. She noticed that there was a touch of sadness in the air. She could feel the pain in Brettorik's heart without seeing it. On the contrary, Elena herself was so unconscious. , it doesn’t matter.
"Why do you do this...?"
Looking at Elena's current appearance, Artolis felt a little uncomfortable. Her and Villafa's death had nothing to do with Elena, but the other party ended up being responsible for it all. This was completely unreasonable.
"The war is not over, and the world has not yet ushered in true peace. If the savior hero falls here, the people who have gathered together will inevitably be shaken." Elena took a deep breath and faced Artolis He looked at me and said affectionately: "Although I really want to say this, in fact, I am just a selfish person, and I don't have the sentiment and courage to have the world in mind."
"I only know that you are my precious friends!"
"Elena..." Artolis choked up.
"Don't look like this. Although I am no longer an elf, the price is just to lose the connection with the elf corridor and lose the blessing of elf immortality. My body has not been affected at all. He still has a life span of hundreds of years, just like changing from an elf to a human, and he lives longer than ordinary people. What can be seen as a problem for the time being is his appearance that is getting older with age. .”
"This... what kind of aging method is this?"
"Probably after seventy years, when you see me again, I will already look like an old lady." Seeing Artolis' confusion, Elena explained.
"Then it doesn't seem like it's a problem."
"Right!" As if to comfort everyone, Elena smiled and nodded.
"But this is indeed a heavy price for the elves." Villafa said seriously, knelt down on one knee and gave a high salute to Elena: "No matter what, Villafa Ni Dedonua is considered a favored person by you, and I will keep this kindness in mind so that I can repay you twice as much in the future."
Seeing Villafa like this, Artolis also put her left hand on her right breast and expressed her sincere gratitude to Elena. At the same time, Artoris also strengthened her determination to take them out of this world.
"Speak of it!" Artolis suddenly remembered something, and then turned to look at Barong.
"When I sealed the Final Beast, I accidentally came into contact with its consciousness, and I got some potentially useful information from it."
"Oh?" After hearing this statement, not only Barong, but also several people around him were interested.
So Artoris sorted out what she saw and heard when she came into contact with the Final Beast, as well as the final information that the Final Beast conveyed to her, and then recounted it without reservation.
After listening to Artolis's story, everyone fell into deep thought for a moment. After a few seconds, Baron opened his eyes and then looked at Artolis.
"The "finality" it practices, in my opinion, is a kind of judgment, both an end and a completion. It is completely opposed to civilization and is a countdown. "Baron analyzed.
"The Final Beast knows my identity, which means that either it can observe reincarnation, or it exists between reincarnations. Thinking about it now, every time I fail, a trial will open up a new world for me. I'm afraid the so-called" "Reincarnation" is not a projection of consciousness in my imagination, but a "completion" based on "destruction". "
"What does it mean?"
Elena and others obviously did not understand what Baron was talking about, but Villafa, who learned the truth about the False Sky from Baron's memory, did not.
"Master means "multiple and unique"? "
"That's right." Baron nodded: "The Final Beast has probably existed in every reincarnation I have ever experienced. It was born with the failure of the brave, destroying the current civilization, and serving as a wedge to push the trials downwards. A reincarnation. This should have been the case originally, but a third party intervened to change the result. It seems that the awakening of the Demon King's memory is not a coincidence or an accident."
"Ba Long wants to say that the mastermind behind all this will be more dangerous than the Demon King?" After hearing this, Artolis was shocked.
"This may be the case in the original world, but here there is no doubt that the Demon King is more threatening."
"But, with Gretel gone and without the power of the hero, how should you deal with the Demon King?" At this moment, the girl who had been sitting in the corner came over worriedly with her staff in her arms.
Atoris had only noticed the girl at first, but it was not until the other party came closer that she saw the person clearly. She was the only survivor in the brave team. She had had a chance encounter with Atoris and others, and was known as The "genius magic girl" - Senise Fola. It's just that she looks very haggard now, and it's obvious that she hasn't gotten over the haze of the death of her friends.
"I remember Final Beast mentioned that the key to defeating the Demon King is the Demon Soldier." Artolis said.
"The message that the brave Gretel risked his life to convey to me also mentions this, and it is consistent with our current goal."
"The goal is the same?" Artolis was a little surprised: "Speaking of which, I haven't even asked yet, where are we planning to go now?"
"Remember, in order to invite the Ice Witch to join the crusade against the Final Beast, we made a deal with her, and now is the time to fulfill the agreement." Elena explained here.
"I plan to recover the last magic weapon, and that magic weapon is now in the hands of Sabatos Ryder. In order to deal with the necessary conflicts, Joseph and others are naturally unreliable, and I need powerful helpers." Bingxue The witch clasped her white hands on her chest and responded with a cold tone.
"So we are now?"
"We are on our way to the Time and Space Tower. We should be able to arrive in a short time." Barong said and looked at everyone present. If we can reach an agreement with the Dharma Saint on this trip, then the matter of recovering the magic soldiers will be much easier, but still The witch's statement will most likely conflict with the other party.
You must prepare for the worst and prepare to conquer the Space-Time Tower!
"Being an enemy of a saint-level powerhouse...?"
At that time, Artoris looked into the distance. The Demon King's army in Kelenia was invading in large numbers. Everywhere they went was devastated. Only the towering tower that reached the sky was still standing on the edge of darkness, exuding an indescribable energy. Violation of the divine light.
