Chapter 176 World Tree and Mera
The World Tree didn't hang Merlin, it seemed to answer, but it didn't seem to answer and said to Merlin calmly:
"Every life has its own obsession in its heart, doesn't it?"

Merlin was silent, and did not answer World Tree's words, and World Tree was not angry, but continued:

"Can you promise me one thing, Merlin?"

"What?" As if he had a premonition, Merlin didn't show any surprise, but asked calmly.

"I know the purpose of your coming here, at the cost of my branches, I hope you can protect my family."

World Tree didn't seem to care about his life or death at all, it broke off a branch on its trunk and handed it to Merlin.

"I can't bless too many. In fate, they are also the lives that the world wants to eliminate together."

Merlin's eyes changed back to that ancient well without waves, and he said this to the World Tree.

But this is already the best answer World Tree wants.

"That's enough, just leave them a spark. This group has begun to decay, and extinction is inevitable. With your blessing, maybe they can continue."

He even changed the address to you in his tone.

Merlin put the World Tree branch in front of him into his magic space, and didn't continue to say anything to the World Tree, but turned around and walked slowly towards the elf village not far away.

It seemed that there had been no outsiders for a long time, and he was still a half-elf. A group of elves circled around Merlin in amazement.

It is worth mentioning that most of these elves are old men with gray hair.

This is what the World Tree said was decayed. They were creatures favored by nature, but not bound by human relationships.

At the same time, due to their overly sacred and holy cognition of love, few of them will follow the desire to mate and reproduce if they are satisfied with spiritual love.

Over time, it has even developed to the point that if one mates with one's loved one, it is blasphemy and infidelity to love.

So it has led to the current appearance, the population is aging, and the young population cannot keep up. In the long run, extinction is the only way.

The World Tree also warned them that although they agreed with all their mouths, they still went their own way, because in their cognition, there will always be others who will be born if they don't give birth. This kind of thinking is not terrible, but if most people It's scary to think so.

Merlin told those old men about his intention of coming, and he told them that he would take some elf children as apprentices.

At first, the elders looked embarrassed and unwilling, but after Merlin showed the world tree branch, their attitude changed 180 degrees in an instant, and several young elves from the village were brought out.

Those were four or five young girls who seemed to be only seven or eight years old, and the entire elf clan had only four or five juvenile elves at this moment!
What a horrible thing, but they seemed to be completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter, and they lived what they thought was a happy life on their own.

Merlin didn't say much, but took those children away silently, and slowly left the continent under their happy eyes.

……

The day after Merlin left.

When the sun was rising, a gigantic meteorite flew from nowhere. The meteorite pierced the sky, rubbed against the atmosphere, formed a huge fireball, and fell straight to the continent of Ozhou.

boom! !

There was a terrifying tremor, and the whole world seemed to tremble because of the impact of this meteorite. What is surprising is that after the meteorite hit the earth, it did not affect the rest of the place except the Australian continent, and even the dust did not rise. rise.

The forests of the Australian mainland were covered by raging flames at this moment. The flames seemed to carry some kind of powerful force, and they could not be extinguished at all, as if they would not give up until they burned everything on this continent.

The animals on the mainland and some humanoid creatures were shrouded in flames, howling in pain.

In the center of the continent, the branches and leaves of the World Tree were all ignited with raging flames. The heat of the flames was enough to burn the soul and did not make the World Tree feel any fear.

There is a revolving lantern before a person dies, and the World Tree is no exception. Feeling that his body is gradually being burned by the flames, the memories of the past flash before his eyes involuntarily...

That was more than 1000 years ago. At that time, the World Tree didn't regard the elves as its own family members. At that time, it was very young and proud, and it didn't even bother to talk to other creatures.

The elves, on the other hand, regarded the World Tree as their mother and worshiped it every day, and even sent an elf girl who claimed to be the high priest to come to it.

"Are you our mother god? Hello, my name is Meera, and I will take care of you from now on."

This is the first sentence that the immature girl said when she saw the World Tree.

[Oh, take care of me?Take care of yourself first, ridiculous. 】

This was World Tree's first reaction when he heard this sentence.

The World Tree did not respond to Meera, but Meera was not discouraged, but repeated the same thing every day when the sun rose, watering the World Tree and telling stories.

In the eyes of World Tree, this is just a meaningless thing, but the girl has been persistent day after day, year after year.

The World Tree also gradually began to talk to Meera, and after Meera arrived, it would always ask such a question.

"Meera, what story do you want to bring me today?"

But suddenly one day, the girl didn't come on time, and for some reason, World Tree, who seemed to ignore everything, suddenly became a little irritable.

In the evening of that day, the sky was overcast and it was raining heavily. The girl ran to the World Tree and knelt down and cried bitterly.

"Mother God, I'm sorry, I may not be able to take care of you anymore, I'm leaving, and I may never come back."

The girl cried for a long time under the World Tree and said a lot, but the World Tree remained silent and did not reply.

I don't know how long it took, the girl left, but World Tree didn't notice it, and didn't even care about it. At this level, it never cared about these trivial things.

The sun rose as usual the next day, and the World Tree followed the sun to wake up from sleep as usual. Vaguely, it seemed to have seen an elf girl walking away slowly not far away. Subconsciously, he said:

"Meera, what story are you going to tell me today?"

But as soon as it opened its mouth, it froze, because there was nothing in front of its eyes, and it was just its own illusion just now.

It is silent, it has a very weird feeling now, this feeling is both strange and uncomfortable, it hates this feeling, but it doesn't do anything.

In this way, day after day, year after year, the high priest of the World Tree has changed generation after generation, but the World Tree is still repeating this sentence and calling that name every morning.

Although he was puzzled, almost every priest would change his name to Meera for the sake of the World Tree.

……

The fire burned more and more violently, and World Tree's consciousness became more and more blurred. In a trance, it seemed to see the usual figure again every day.

"Meera, what story do you have for me today?"

Afterwards, the World Tree was completely swallowed by the sea of ​​flames, and gradually became nothingness...

　The main thing is to wrap up the last seven monsters, and then the protagonist will come out in the next chapter... probably
