Age of Arcane

Chapter 327 The Grave Digger of the World Tree

The originally noisy market was quiet at this moment, and the horn of welcome was sounded in Sunshine City.In the blowing wind and sand, the moonlight knights followed the queen in two columns and marched towards the open city gate.

They rode war horses. Although their armor was worn out, they all straightened their waists.They are the warriors who defend the Moonlight Royal Court, and the knights who are honored by the World Tree.They followed the queen, spread the majesty of the royal court, and reunited the barbarians in the western region.

Earl Ould led a welcoming team composed of nobles from the western region, and waited at the gate of the city on horseback.It was just that the barbarian warriors, including Andre, the leader of the orcs, all got off their horses and knelt down to greet the oncoming Moonlight Royal Court Envoy team with the highest courtesy.

Seeing such a scene, the nobles discovered that the revival of the World Tree had brought more serious changes to the Western Territory than they had imagined.If the Moonlight Queen is an ambitious person, then the nobles of the western region will really have to take on the task of guarding the western region for the empire.

Earl Ould, who relied heavily on the barbarians, was even more preoccupied. In the past, the barbarians were scattered, and he was able to deal with them with ease, but now... I am afraid that half of his army will immediately turn against each other when the Queen of Moonlight gives an order.

Earl Ould looked at the Moonlight King's Court cavalry marching towards the sun, and gradually saw the elf leading the black panther.

With her crown on, she must be the Moonlight Queen.

But why is the Moonlight Queen so familiar?
Earl Uld wiped his eyes...

That's right, Miss Skylight!
Didn't Her Royal Highness say that she is the head of the Oulu Academy of Raging Waves City, the head of the Oulu Academy's Mystery Department, the dean of the St. Lun City Branch of the Oulu Academy, and a member of the Raging Waves City Council?

During the siege of Jingting, she also shot and killed Silvia, the sixth apostle of the Abyss Temple.

Why did she become the queen of the Moonlight Court again?
When Earl Ould was full of doubts, the team of the Moonlight Royal Court marched to the city of Sunshine.

Qingkong smiled and said to Earl Uld: "I am Qingkong, the magic professor of Oulu College, and I am also the Moonlight Queen of the Moonlight Royal Court. The recovery of the world tree has added new responsibilities to me. I hope that we will be friendly and helpful neighbors in the western region in the future." .”

Earl Ould immediately bowed to the clear sky: "Your Majesty the Moonlight Queen! I and all the imperial lords in the western region are very happy to hear that the World Tree has been revived. The grace of the World Tree will benefit all of us.

May the friendship between the Golden Shield Empire and the Moonlight Royal Court last forever.

Her Highness Princess Agatha of the Empire is waiting for His Majesty's arrival at Sunshine Manor, and I am also very honored to show His Majesty a tour of my city.

Please……"

"is my pleasure……"

Qingkong led the Moonlight Knights to follow Earl Ould and the nobles of the Western Region into Sunshine City. It took a long time for the barbarians kneeling outside the city to stand up.

People were discussing what changes the World Tree, the Moonlight Queen, and the Moonlight Royal Court would bring to the Western Territory.The bazaar gradually became lively again, and some barbarian merchants even distributed items for free to express their feelings at the moment.

"Her Majesty is the most beautiful elf I have ever seen, and she must have a kind heart. Under the governance of Your Majesty, the Moonlight Royal Court will soon become a rich country."

"There is also the great World Tree... Yesterday I felt the World Tree's response to my pious prayers. The rain was the nectar from the World Tree. Have you noticed that today there is much less wind and sand than before, and the air is more humid .”

"Praise the Moonlight Tree King, praise the Moonlight Queen, everything will be fine!"

……

Oak looked at the Moonlight Knights who were marching into the city with bright eyes, and said loudly to Mevesman: "Teacher, I want to become a Moonlight Knight when I grow up, to defend the Moonlight King's Court and Her Majesty the Queen!"

"It's a good ambition, but if you want to achieve it, you must train harder."

Mavesman was sprinting away from Sandpaper and Kestrel as he answered Oak.

She had just noticed that when the queen was passing by, the black panther she was riding gave the two sisters a subtle look.The two sisters were also incredulously surprised when they saw the queen. They must have a deeper relationship with the queen.

This kind of farewell without saying goodbye seems to confirm Mevesman's guess. She regrets that she just underestimated the two girls and missed the opportunity to meet Her Majesty the Moonlight Queen.

"Mentor, I will definitely train hard... Huh? Where did sister Kestrel and sister Sandpaper go?"

Mavesman watched the two sisters disappear into the crowd with the Abyss Leopard, and at the same time saw a figure that surprised her.

"They left in a hurry. If there is nothing else, you take your mother back to the slave corner. I still have something to do."

Oak looked around, but did not see the Kestrel sisters, so he replied disappointedly: "Yes, mentor, my mother and I went back."

"be careful……"

Mavesman gave Oak a word, and chased after the figure.

After passing through a shop tent, the sprinting Mavesman almost collided with the person she was chasing.The person opposite was wearing an ordinary desert tribe's anti-sand robe, and his face was covered with a scarf. He looked like an ordinary westerner.

Mevesman, who just caught a glimpse of this person's appearance, immediately took a step back. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he whispered: "My lord governor! I thought you were welcoming Her Majesty the Moonlight Queen at this time."

Standing opposite Mavesman is Luke.

"Qingkong is one of us, and the reception is just a ceremony. It is enough to be received by the eldest princess. Poison Scorpion, are you at a loss now, and don't know what the future holds?"

Mavesman was surprised how Governor Meteor knew about her troubles, and she replied truthfully: "Yes...Although the lord has shown us another path, there are those in Hamm who are willing to live a peaceful life, and there are those like I have long been used to that kind of life, and I don't want to be a person who spends my life doing nothing.

I beg for your guidance. "

Luke looked at Mavesman and could feel her unconcealable sharpness.

Not all Sand Pirates are willing to be recruited and transferred to honestly do logistics, and a large part of them have the same troubles as Mavesman.This is a group of people who are full of adventurous spirit. They may temporarily compromise under pressure, but after a long time they will still choose the path that can bring them excitement.

After all, the world tree has been away for thousands of years. The once simple people of the western border have undergone environmental changes and have become modern martial arts and sturdy people of the western border.

This is incompatible with the world tree that naturally has the attribute of "Holy Mother".

"Faith is a double-edged sword. When it brings a sense of belonging to the barbarians in the western border, it will also be taken advantage of by certain things.

You want my guidance... yes!
After entering this tent, what do I ask you to do, can you do it without hesitation? "

Only then did Mavesman notice the inconspicuous tent beside him.Instead of being lined with merchandise for sale like other stalls, it has a black cloth curtain embroidered with astrological charts to block the door.

is an astrology lodge.

"My lord, may I ask why?"

"Don't ask why, what you are asked to do, what you do immediately... Hesitation is death!"

Hearing about death, Mavesman couldn't help hesitating.

But thinking of the day when I was close to death, if I didn't seize this opportunity, I would be very likely to be mediocre in the future.

"My lord, after I go in, I will listen to you without any hesitation."

"Then follow me in!"

Lu opened the curtains and entered the astrology cabin, followed by Mavesman.

It was extremely dark inside the hut.

It stands to reason that the light outside is so strong, no matter how poor the light transmission of the tent is, it shouldn't be so dark.

Mevesman spread her perception and realized that she had entered an open space, and the sense of crisis made her immediately alert.

In the middle of the space is a jujube-colored rectangular wooden table with a crystal ball on it.The blue light emitted by the crystal ball became the only light in the space, but it could only illuminate the area around the table.

A thick felt was spread on the floor facing the outside of the table. Seeing Governor Meteorite walked up to the felt and sat cross-legged, Mavesman also walked up and sat down.

The atmosphere was extremely weird, Mevesman wanted to ask, but held back his silence.

At this time, a deep voice sounded from across the table: "What do the two guests want to divination?"

The crystal ball on the table was slightly brighter, and a person shrouded in a black robe appeared opposite.He merged into the darkness, and the light could only illuminate a little edge.

Luke took out a gold coin and put it on the table: "This friend of mine wants to predict her own destiny. She has been very troubled about her future recently. Especially after the recovery of World Tree, her industry will suffer a serious blow .”

The astrologer said: "The astrology is confused, and the world is changing in a direction that is difficult to determine. The astrologer is to interpret the hints given by the astrology and find the future direction for the lost traveler.

Ask guests to choose a card that will reveal your future destiny. "

The astrologer didn't move, and a set of cards appeared on the table in front of Mavesman one by one.

All the paintings on the cards are common animals in the western region.

Mavesman didn't know what Luke wanted to do. Seeing that Luke didn't give herself any hints, she pointed at one of the cards and pushed it in front of the astrologer: "I choose the poisonous scorpion."

The astrologer stretched out a hand like a dead wood to pick up the scorpion card and put the card on the crystal ball.The card turns into a pile of crystal powder and sprinkles from the top of the crystal ball. The light in the crystal ball changes, and stars appear and form a pattern of a poisonous scorpion.

An astrology disk is unfolded with the crystal ball as the center. The astrology disk rotates with a mechanical sense, and the runes on it are constantly changing.

"You are a sand thief."

Mevsman, whose identity was pointed out at once, was surprised at first, but immediately argued: "As a Sand Pirate, I am still somewhat famous. It is not surprising that you have seen me before and know me."

"You are now facing a fateful choice. Accept a mediocre life, and you will live comfortably for the rest of your life without worrying about money. If you choose your own nature, you will die miserable, but you will also die great. "

What the astrologer said made Mevesman serious: "I'm not afraid of death, but I don't feel like I have anything to do with greatness.

Can you tell me exactly how I died? "

The astrolabe manipulated by the astrologer interpreted: "You will become the pioneer who leads the people of the western border to fight against weakness, and your death will arouse the repressed blood of the people of the western border."

Mavesman asked suspiciously: "I don't understand what you're talking about, you think highly of me, I'm just a small character."

The astrologer said: "This is your destiny, I am only responsible for interpreting it."

"Can you be more specific?"

"Sorry, astrology cannot interpret a clear destiny, it can only be used as a revelation to let you know how to choose a direction.

Is it a life of mediocrity and ease, or a life of passion and greatness.

Will you, sir, try to see your destiny? "

The astrologer turned to Luke, and a deck appeared on the table in front of him.

Luke didn't move: "Your level of astrology is a bit low, and you can't even tell how my friend died."

The astrologer asked: "Do you see more than I do?"

"Of course..." Luke pretended to look at the astrolabe, and said, "If my friend chooses to follow her nature, she will die in the battle that attacked the Moonlight Royal Court."

Mevsman said in shock: "How could I attack the Moonlight Royal Court! The World Tree is there, and my respect for the World Tree is unwavering."

Luke said: "You respect the World Tree now, but it doesn't mean you will respect it in the future. Especially after you have seen this astrologer a lot, you will regard the fraternity of the World Tree as cowardice, and turn your love for it into hatred.

You will feel that the world tree should not be revived, the dead world tree is perfect, and the things that do not exist in the world are flawless without any shortcomings.

So a group of people with the same thought as you attacked the Moonlight Royal Court..."

"No, absolutely impossible, you are..." Mavesman stood up excitedly to defend himself.

"Sit down! Don't talk!"

After hearing the order, Mavesman sat down again and closed his mouth with force.

Luke turned to the astrologer and said: "The mysterious energy that destroyed the World Tree of the previous generation has already penetrated into the land of the Western Region after thousands of years.

Those mysterious energies released by the recovery of the World Tree are only part of it, and the remaining part is floating on the edge of the World Tree, and takes destroying the World Tree as its only goal.

They can't get close to the core area of ​​the World Tree, so they influence people's hearts and control them to destroy the World Tree.Although you tried hard to cover it up, I still smelled the burnt smell coming from your body.

Poisonous scorpion, kill him! "

Mevesman's figure exploded like a spring, and a dagger stabbed into the chest of Xing Shu.Then the astrologer burns from the inside out...

The voice surrounds the space: "I have long been integrated with the World Tree, and destroying it is the only value of my existence. I should have passed away with it, but it was revived, and I have consciousness because of it.

From now on I will be its inescapable shadow, its endless gravedigger! "

The sound disappeared, the space disintegrated, and the light was projected through the tent wall.

Mevesman saw clearly what the astrologer looked like, a wooden vine in a black smock.

"My lord, what happened?"
