Make the dragon great again

Chapter 144 The Legend of the Fairy Forest and the World Tree

When there are still goals that must be accomplished right now, it seems unrealistic to think about these too long-term and vague issues. Adrian quickly adjusted his mentality.

After all, let alone whether a conscious body can reach the end of everything and witness the ultimate, for Adrian at present, there are still a lot of problems to be solved urgently, just a "alienated angel" with a bad attitude who is about to get out of trouble , is enough to give Adrian a headache.

Adrian's next destination on this trip is [Forest of Silver Elf].

Since the end of the second era, after the Gaia species completely took over the dominance of the Sirias continent from the immortal species, the immortal species such as elves, Naga, giants, and treants have withdrawn from the continent one by one for hundreds of years stage.

Some of them retreated into the calm waters off the coast of the mainland, wandering around the violent border of the [Continental Barrier] all year round, as if they were looking for or guarding something;
Some have penetrated into the intricate underground space under the earth. Today, thousands of years later, they have mutated into underground races that are almost isolated from the world and are regarded as mysterious and evil creatures by surface people;

Some escaped into the [Roaring Mountain Range] that occupies the vast central area of ​​the continent, where they guard some holy relics passed down from ancient times, never leaving for thousands of years, and rejecting the approach of all outsiders;

There are also those who choose to try their best to break through the [Continental Barrier], wanting to go to this ideal land outside the storm barrier covering the four sides of the mainland, which is described as "the land promised by the gods" in some ancient records. ...

Originally, Adrian couldn't understand why the long-lived species, who were far superior to the Gaia species in terms of lifespan and extraordinary talent, would eventually be taken away by the short-lived and weak Gaia species from the dominance of the continent. After confirming the existence of [Legendary Shackles], this question has been roughly answered:
In the face of the [Legendary Shackles] that even fantasy species cannot avoid, there is no difference between Gaia species and longevity species.

When 5000 years ago, the godhead fragment was detonated by an ancient dragon who reached the ninth level [Havoc] and established the [Continental Barrier], [Legendary Shackles] locked all living beings to a higher level;

In the following thousands of years, the fantasy species above legends could not leave the mainland and gradually withered, and after several generations of changes, no new legends were born. Coupled with the low fertility rate of the longevity species, Gradually catching up with the fast-growing Gaia species within 1 years is completely unavoidable.

However, Adrian has always been skeptical about the statement in the history books that "the Gaia species defeated the longevity species and won the dominance of the continent".

After all, no matter how bad it is, the long-lived species will not be completely defeated by the Gaia species. In terms of the probability of giving birth to an extraordinary person above level four, the Gaia species will never be able to truly defeat the long-lived species.

There must be other reasons for these long-lived species to give in or quit, other than the "over-breeding" of the Gaia species...

Adrian went to [Forest of Silver Elf] this time, in addition to announcing the existence of [Dragon Clan], he also wanted to inquire about the reason behind this problem from these long-lived species...

[Forest of Silver] is located on the east coast of the mainland, south of the cape where the tall tower forest is located, and southeast of the Principality of Griffin. Like other longevity species, the silver elves live a near-reclusive life in this corner of the mainland.

However, unlike most other long-lived species who completely escaped from the world, although the society of the Silver Elves in the forest is also very closed, their clansmen often travel around the continent, and they are willing to communicate with the Gaia species during the journey.

Therefore, compared to other immortal species, the Silver Elves are the only immortal race that the Gaia species can often come into contact with.

Of course, from another perspective, this is probably the reason why half-elves are so common on the mainland that they can almost form a group independently...

It is not far from High Tower Forest to [Forest of Silver Elf].

Adrian led the dragon group, and it didn't take long to enter a vast forest area that was more lush than other forests seen along the way.

Using the knowledge of Adrian's previous life, this forest is obviously a temperate deciduous broad-leaved forest, mainly composed of deciduous trees and woody plants, with dense branches and leaves on the canopy, while there are fewer shrubs and herbaceous plants on the ground .

There is a kind of maple-like tree growing in this forest, which is generally more than 15 meters high, and some can even grow to tens of meters. At night, the whole forest will be lit up by dots of colorful fluorescent light, which is a famous and magnificent sight on the mainland.

There was a Gaia subspecies businessman who was greedy for the commercial value of these [Silver Forest] unique trees and tried to transplant them, but found that these silver maple trees did not survive at all after leaving this forest;
Later, a certain daring nobleman ordered people to cut down the edge of the [Silver Forest] for enjoyment, and wanted to build a manor here, which attracted the expulsion of the [Forest Guardian] in the forest;
In a fit of rage, the great nobleman directly launched a war against the [Forest of Silver], and even hired a hero-level adventurer, but in the end more [Forest Guardians] were attracted. Then he drove all the intruders back to their hometown, and let the world clearly recognize once again that these seemingly mild-tempered long ears are a group of longevity races with extraordinary talents far surpassing the Gaia subspecies.

For the above, in addition to the science popularization from Anna, there is also an introduction from the fifth seat of the council, [Forest Guardian] Shana from Gaotalin.

"I didn't expect these silver elves to take the initiative to invite me to visit."

Adrian recalled the previous communication with Shana in Gaotalin. At that time, after all the important things were said, Shana sent Adrian an invitation from the [Forest of Silver] as a [Forest Guardian] .

It just so happened that Adrian already had the idea of ​​meeting these immortal elves, so he readily agreed.

"In the past few years, these elves have shown an indifferent attitude towards my appearance, why are they suddenly becoming active now?"

[Forest of Silver] is different from the tall tower forest, there is no large-scale magic barrier as a protection, although it looks beautiful, but in the case of being surrounded by the kingdom of Gaia on the west, north and south, this is not a problem. It's not like a big environment that can be away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

However, after entering this "sea of ​​silver maple trees", Adrian instantly understood with his sharp perception as a giant dragon: every silver maple tree here is a part of the forest enchantment.

"Let the roots of the trees form a whole below the surface, so that their vitality can communicate with each other, and at the same time, they can also absorb and accommodate a large amount of free magic power. After special cultivation with special magic methods, an invisible magic covering the entire forest can be formed. The technique... is really an interesting form of power. Although human magic is said to have originated from elf magic, the two sides have gone in completely different directions."

While Adrian was commenting on this beautiful but mysterious forest, the owner of the deep forest had already come to the guests.

It was a group of "Pegasus" smaller than the Griffin. On the backs of the white as snow Pegasus, each had a silver elf with the same white hair as snow sitting sideways on it.

Compared with the attitude of the Griffon Knights when they passed by Gryffindor before, although these silver elves were unavoidably nervous, they were obviously more friendly and cheerful towards the visitors.

I saw these elves bent down and said something in the ears of their Pegasus companions. After these spirited Pegasus neighed a few times, they drew beautiful white arcs around the slow-moving dragons. , and some even interspersed among the dragons, appearing harmonious and friendly.

And the elves sitting on the back of the Pegasus also hummed their own different tunes, but at the same time, it didn't look chaotic, but revealed a nice tune that made people feel relaxed and relaxed, so that even if they were disgusted with humanoid creatures like Smaug, at this time, was not offended by the "little white bug" circling around him, and even revealed a curious look in his eyes...

This is obviously the welcome ceremony for the silver elves.

Ever since he left the dungeon for the first time at the age of 118, Adrian’s emotional memories when he came into contact with intelligent creatures are not the vulgarity and cunning of adventurers, the conspiracy and calculations of nobles, and even the dungeon he built himself to cut leeks. The system, in a sense, can also be regarded as a "despicable and shameless" behavior...

But these silver elves made Adrian's heart accustomed to the "dirty world" once again see a glimmer of beauty.

——Although his mental power perception told him that the behavior of these elves contained traces of fluctuations of superhuman powers that soothe the soul, he did not want to destroy this rare harmonious atmosphere...

Anna was also infected by this atmosphere, and temporarily came out of the troubled heart.

"This is the singing of the silver elves. It is just like the rumors. It makes people feel healed physically and mentally... It is said that only those who are accepted by the silver elves can hear their singing from the heart. It seems that Baiyin The elves really welcome you, Mr. Ed."

Adrian didn't speak, he suddenly couldn't understand, these elves really welcome him so much?Then why haven't they seen me in the past few years?

For Adrian, who was used to thinking about problems from the perspective of "interest relationship" and "cause and effect", he really couldn't figure out why these silver elves welcomed him so much.

The silver elves do not have the red tape of the human race. Amidst the leaping of the Pegasus and the singing of the elves, the dragons were led to a plain with sparse trees deep in the forest—or, in other words, this land in the middle of the forest There is only one tree on the plain.

This is a giant tree that is really enough to be called "towering".

The [Supreme White Tower] in Gaotalin is already the most magnificent building in the entire continent, but it still looks too "slender" in front of the giant dragon Adrian. However, Adrian, who has been reincarnated as a dragon for 122 years, once again felt the insignificance of being a human being and facing giants in his previous life.

"Is this the tree of life?"

Adrian looked at the towering giant tree with a height of nearly a thousand meters and a canopy diameter of nearly a thousand meters in front of him, feeling a little absent-minded.

Anna also said with emotion:

"The tree of life 'Isana Tower', this giant tree called the mother by the silver elves, is the largest living entity on the continent. The extracted juice is enough to bring a centenarian back to his prime, and, in the myths and legends of the silver elves, Isanata is just a higher life form called the "world tree" by the elves sons of..."

"world Tree……"

Adrian recovered from his absence.

'World Tree' is a familiar term to Adrian, not only because there are similar legends in the Nordic mythology of the previous life, but also because in this life, in Adrian's incomplete inheritance memory, it is the same as being called Among the first gods born in the same era as the "God King" [Primitive Dragon], there is also a god named "World Tree" who controls part of the authority of [life]...

The elves on flying horses greeted the team, and they had already landed on the ground in front of the giant tree. There were already several elves standing there who were obviously the real greeters. Adrian also led the dragons to land slowly. A gust of wind blew up on the surface.

I have to say that these silver elves are worthy of being synonymous with the enduring "beauty and elegance" in the legends of the Gaia species. Indeed, each of them is extremely beautiful, and even the strong wind caused by the dragons landing, It doesn't seem to detract from their elegance and poise.

In human society, Adrian's half-elf form can already be regarded as the type that can cause young women to scream, but when facing these pure-blooded silver elves, it still seems a bit inferior...

Silver elves are used to wearing loose robes, so for ordinary humans, the gender of elves is really difficult to distinguish.

A silver elf who couldn't tell the gender stepped forward and said to Adrian:

"Your Excellency Dragon Adrian, I am [Forest Guardian] Vanya, and I welcome you on behalf of all the silver elves."

Adrian slightly reduced his size to about ten meters high to facilitate communication, and responded:

"Hello, Vanya, the silver elf... I learned about your invitation from another [Forest Guardian] Shanna in the High Tower Forest, and I also have the idea of ​​visiting, so I took advantage of this This time, I brought some younger generations of the family to visit."

While responding to Fan Ya, Adrian also added in his heart: Listening to this voice, it turned out to be a man...

With a gentle and polite attitude, Vanya greeted Fay, Smaug and other giant dragons or flying dragons behind Adrian, and got a messy response from these dragons who were not used to communicating with people.

However, the silver elves such as Vanya did not get angry or showed strange eyes, and they all seemed very tolerant.

Adrian went straight to the point and said:
"Okay, you elves are not used to these trivial human etiquette. Let's get straight to the point. Why did you invite me here?"

Fan Ya smiled slightly and replied:
"Our patriarch and queen, due to some physical reasons, cannot leave the heart of the tree in Isana Tower. Please, Lord Adrian, shrink your body further. I will take you to the interior of Isana Tower, where, Her Majesty the Queen will personally receive you and answer your questions."
