Chapter 1134 Chapter 56. Ancient Tree of Wisdom
"Where did you search?"

"The battlefield of Aldo Forest, the lost well, the old land..."

"What are you talking about..." Annan frowned deeply: "You guys are taking it for granted."

"As if it were so?"

"I told you that the murderer is a human, so we have to start from a human perspective. Do humans know the place names you mentioned?"

Kael'thas thought thoughtfully.

"The Land of Disputes... must be a place known to humans and where there is dispute."

"Ancient Tree of Wisdom." Kael'thas uttered something in Elvish.

"what is that?"

"During the war a thousand years ago, the Kingdom of Paem presented an ancient tree of wisdom to the royal court. After the tree was sent to Evanas, Lord Emerald discovered that the tree's will had been tampered with, and healed it to its original state, thus thwarting the conspiracy of the Kingdom of Paem."

"Afterwards, the Kingdom of Paem asked for the Ancient Tree of Wisdom, but was rejected by the Council of Elders."

"That should be it... Let's go!"

Annan forgot to look at the sky. It was still early and there was still some time before dusk.

"stop!"

The elf elder who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke up: "Humans are not worthy of trust."

"I've already told you the clue."

The elf elder drooped his wrinkled eyelids: "How do I know that you are not another trap to lure us to death?"

Compared to Annan, the surrounding elves clearly believed in the elders more. There was a hint of hostility in their eyes towards Annan, and only Kael'thas hesitated to speak.

Annan did not fall into the logic trap of the elven elder, but said word by word: "You can continue to be arrogant, but the price is the lives of other elves. The more you go against me for the so-called pride of the elves, the more elves will die at the hands of the attackers!"

"Remember, they died because of you..."

The elf elder was silent for a moment: "Can you take responsibility?"

"If you can take responsibility, I can do it."

Annan and the elven elder were on the verge of a fight. Kael'thas stepped forward and said, "Lord Seran, we can't afford the gamble..."

The elf elder gave in a little: "But if there is nothing there... I will report it to the Council of Elders."

"If there's anything there, I'll also tell Taidel how pedantic and ignorant you are," Annan shot back.

Faced with the only clue at present, the elves quickly turned around and rushed to the area where the ancient tree of wisdom was located.

……

The ancient tree of wisdom stands quietly in the heart of the green city.

Compared with its hundred-meter-tall body, the most eye-catching thing is its thick trunk covered with deep wrinkles, revealing a weathered but kind face.

The arrival of the crowd caused its lush branches to sway.

"It's alive?" Annan asked in surprise.

"The Ancient Tree of Wisdom is equivalent to your human wizard tower, and it was given to us by you humans."

The Paem Kingdom had a great idea. They wanted to let the Ancient Tree of Wisdom penetrate the inner court of the Elven King. If it succeeded, it would be a legendary epic in human history. Unfortunately, it failed.

“Children, your expressions tell me that you are very anxious…” The ancient tree of wisdom showed a gentle smile on its face.

"Master Ancient Tree, we have traced the attack case here. There are clues pointing to you as the target of the next attack." Kael'thas said loudly: "Have you found anyone suspicious?"

"No……"

The elf elder looked at Annan and was about to speak, but Annan said first: "Magic scrolls are usually buried underground? We will know after checking around."

The ancient tree of wisdom did not stop the elves from digging around the roots, but just watched them with indulgence and curiosity... Not long after, the first exclamation was heard.

"Here is a magic scroll!"

The elf elder was stunned, and Annan breathed a sigh of relief. A bunch of dangerous magic scrolls that had not yet been activated were hidden in the gnarled roots of the ancient tree of wisdom. It could be predicted that when the magic scrolls exploded, the ancient tree of wisdom would suffer heavy damage.

As the elves were celebrating their survival, they were on guard outside. An elven figure was standing on the top of a tree, overlooking the ancient tree of wisdom.

"What a shame... I thought we wouldn't be enemies..."

He looked at Annan's figure and said softly. Instinctively, he pressed the shortened scepter handle to activate the magic scroll.

"So…we can narrow it down to the Kingdom of Paem?"

Annan's words made him pause.

"Why do you say that?" The elf elder's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Who could have buried so many magic scrolls next to the roots of the Ancient Tree of Wisdom without the Ancient Tree of Wisdom noticing? If the murderer is a human, I can't think of any other reason except that he is from the Kingdom of Paem and knows the shortcomings of the Ancient Tree of Wisdom."

"Interesting……"

The elven figure in the treetop loosened his grip.

"Are you doing this for your allies or for her..."

"Kael'thas, take your men to control Prince Aidan!" the elven elder immediately gave the order.

"and many more!"

Annan stopped him: "It has nothing to do with Prince Aidan."

"how do you know?"

In view of the clues discovered by Annan, the elven elder appropriately restrained his arrogance.

"He has been with me all the time and has no time to do this kind of thing." Annan suddenly paused, "Besides, if you do this, it will easily alert the enemy... Leave Prince Aidan to me."

When it comes to Irilanze's safety, Annan doesn't want to take the risk.

"Can you find the source of production with the help of the magic scroll?" he asked.

"Can you find out which tree a fallen leaf comes from by looking at it?" the elf elder asked.

"Well, I overestimated you." Annan counterattacked, "Look again, there should be more trailers here."

The searching elves did not find the preview, but instead discovered a second magic scroll.

How many magic scrolls did the murderer bury?

Annan looked up at the Ancient Tree of Wisdom. It seemed that he really wanted to destroy it...

"found it!"

At some point, an elf shouted.

Annan thought he had found the third magic scroll until they ran up carrying a stone tablet.

"The shadow of death looms over the crown of the past..." Annan read out the elven language above, "What is the crown of the past?"

"Are you talking about the Moon Well...?"

"What is that?" Annan asked.

"The birthplace of the elves..." The elven elder spoke before Kael'thas, recounting the past of the elves with nostalgia and memories.

In the early years of the Elven calendar, the core of the elves was not the high elves, but the moon elves. Their homeland was not the World Tree, but the Moon Well. Later, something strange happened, the Moon Well dried up, and the Moon God lost his power. The elves found a new totem ten thousand years ago, and the World Tree and the God of the Elves - the Moon Elves lost their original status and were replaced by the high elves.

It was the first time that Annan heard these inside stories.

"Don't blame Lord Seran. His three children all died at the hands of humans." Kael'thas suddenly whispered in Annan's ear.

"No wonder……"

Decades of prejudice and stubbornness can make the nobles not treat the poor as human beings, but what about hundreds of years?
Hatred will never fade away, it will only become more unforgettable as time goes by.
