MTL - For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King (1000 Years Later, Even My Weakest Follower Has Become A Demon King)-Chapter 210 Dryad
Chapter 210 Dryad
"Wrap up your headscarf so that no one else can see your eyes."
The forest elf with the wolf head tattoo on his face slightly tilted his head and whispered to the human girl he was holding, as if the sleepiness had not completely subsided.
The two people who walked out of the tree hole are walking along the air bridge formed by vines and branches, from the top of a giant tree that requires seven or eight people to hug, to another relatively low, but still can be called On the crown of a giant tree.
The sky bridge that looks wide enough to be a horse-drawn carriage is not man-made, but the product of the natural growth of this giant tree.
Yes, even if there is even a handrail on this bridge, and there is a fall prevention net woven from vines under the bridge, it is a product of natural growth.
According to the ancient contract, the forest elves living in Ravenwood are not allowed to do anything to harm the forest, which includes cutting down trees and using fire, but wood and fire are the cornerstone of civilization development.
Therefore, as compensation, even though Ravenwood does not have any buildings made of wood or stone, there is a living city that grows entirely on the power of the World Tree—Sacred Tree City.
In the forest elves belief, the will of the world tree is respected as the "big mother". According to the prayers and petitions of the forest druids, he will make the infrastructure needed for the life of its people grow, and will also let those who live in it grow. The superfluous parts of the city wither and wither.
It can be said that the city of Sacred Tree City is undergoing subtle changes every moment, every minute and every second. And if this change is extended to the scale of seasons, years, and even centuries, it can be said that this is a city that can never be accurately mapped.
It is also for this reason that Elis Homer, a young girl who bears the fate of these "eyes of God", chose this city as her crowning tour to obtain the first stop of the blessing of the seven holy spirits.
"But Mr. Quill, why did we reveal our whereabouts on the third day we were here?"
The girl named Elis, who received the inheritance of the ancient hero's surname "Homer", asked in a low voice.
"These things will be discussed in a safe place. You'd better use your own abilities to see if there are any people nearby who are so thin and sickly."
The forest elf man named Quill whispered immediately.
As he spoke, he seemed to be inadvertently alert to the residents coming and going around.
The stature is thin and sickly, which is the most distinctive feature of the Wild Hunts under the Duke of the Holy Tree. After all, the forest elves need troops who are often responsible for the execution of killings. If they cannot maintain a state of hunger all the time, their will to fight will drop to an unacceptable level.
"Um…"
Ellis nodded.
Although almost her entire face was wrapped in a turban, her eyes were completely covered. But as the holder of the rare ability "God's Eye", penetrating a few pieces of cloth to obtain a wider field of vision can only be regarded as the most inconspicuous abilities of this ability.
After looking around for a while in Elis, she pulled Quill's hand and said in a low voice:
"On the main platform on the next seven floors, there are nine forest elves with obviously abnormal stature guarding the fork, and more of them are walking up the main road. But because it is too far, I can't see the specific type of magic reaction... That Could it be the Wild Hunt under the Duke of Sacred Tree?"
Quier heard the words and looked down towards the tree trunk. Immediately, the wolf face tattoo on his face slowly detached from his skin as if it had survived, struggling to float about half a centimeter in front of him, making a low roar.
And his eyes also turned into beast pupils with ferocious beasts.
With the help of the beast's vision, Quill also saw the location of the fork. There were standing several forest elves who were carrying bone weapons and wearing animal skins, but were so thin that they were only skin and bones. Even though they were separated by such a long distance, after Quill saw them, he felt an extremely wild and brutal aura lingering around them.
The change in the tattoo on his face only lasted for about a second or two. As Quill retracted his gaze, the floating soul state of the wolf soul changed back to the previous tattoo on his face, as if everything before was just an illusion. .
"There is a high probability... Damn, that fork in the road is the only way for these trees to return to the ground. We are trapped here... We shouldn't have tried to save the trouble and chose the base on the tree."
Quier gritted his teeth.
"How about climbing down a tree trunk?"
Seeing Quill's reaction at the moment, Elis asked in a low voice.
"That way, it will be discovered by the tree spirits of this tree. Since there are so many Wild Hunts here, it must be the forest druids who lead the team. They can communicate with the tree spirits of the sub-trees of the world tree. Along the way If the trunk climbs down, it is estimated that they will block us before we get back to the ground."
"Then... how about flying down?"
Ellis asked slightly louder.
"Can you use flying magic?"
Quier asked rhetorically.
Elis shook his head with a gloomy expression on his face.
Although he has obtained the rare inheritance of "God's Eye", Elis is only an apprentice-level magic caster. Rather, it is precisely because she has the inheritance of "God's Eye" that she is completely unable to go to the Star Lighthouse to perform the promotion ceremony that resonates with the destiny constellation. Therefore, for so many years, her magic level has only stayed at the apprentice level of magic enlightenment as a child.
After being depressed for about three seconds, Elis suddenly looked at Quill with anticipation and asked:
"But I heard that forest elves can't fly? They just grow eagle wings from behind..."
Although she couldn't see the other party's expression, Quill could still feel a certain excitement in her tone.
Obviously, being able to jump from here and soar in the sky may arouse the excitement of this novice girl more than the "Wild Hunt" troops who have only occasionally heard rumors of brutality.
Really, doesn't this stupid child know that he is in an extremely dangerous situation now? Or is it all the guys who can be recognized by the "Eye of God" and can go on a coronation tour?
Thinking of this, Quill began to worry about the future of his organization.
"It's not possible... to engrave the tattoo of the Great Falcon Spirit on the body to summon wings to fly. That is the inheritance of the Eagle Feather Clan. And my words, as you can see, belong to the Wolf Word Clan."
Quier pointed to the wolf face tattoo on his face, without giving the other party room to imagine, and directly dismissed the unrealistic thoughts in Elis's mind.
He didn't even bother to tell the other party how conspicuous it would be to choose to fly out in front of the public even if he was a member of the Eagle Feather clan.
"All right…"
Iris lowered her head slightly when she heard the words. Compared with her being unable to escape the danger, she seemed more disappointed that she couldn't see the forest elves grow wings and fly.
"Those Wild Hunters are just blocking the exit. Now the forest druids should be communicating with the dryads of these subtrees. It is estimated that they will investigate the top layer by layer. If this is the case, it will be a big trouble."
Ignoring Elis, who had fallen into depression again, Quill tapped his fingers on the railing a little impatiently and said.
It was also at this time that a voice suddenly echoed in Quill's mind.
+To all voters who have made a pledge with Mother Mother, please return to your residence before sunset and wait for the hounds to check. The pests and diseases that are trying to destroy the order of the forest have come to this land, please cooperate with the work of the hounds before pulling out those pests +
That voice sounded old, but it showed some kind of vitality.
At the same time, on every platform where there were people in these giant trees, there appeared a human figure composed of countless emerald green light spots. With their feet up, they floated in mid-air, and said to the people around them with a voice as dense as a swarm of bees flying:
"Please gather the souls of all non-eldest mother voters to gather in the square outside the Canopy Temple for investigation. Those who disobey will be stamped with the mark of the Burner and banished, and they will never step into Ravenwood again for the rest of their lives. Please everyone. Cooperate."
The other races except the forest elves could not hear the voices of the tree spirits, so it summoned these split spirits to inform them.
At this moment, those split souls are like unconscious ghosts, wandering around the platforms, reminding visitors of other races to be checked in the standard language of the Empire.
Probably seeing Quill and the others still staying near the railing, a tree spirit drifted over. It floated straight to the side of Elis, mechanically repeating the previous speech.
"Please all..."
Quiere quickly pressed Elis's shoulders, indicating that he would go there soon.
Although these sub-souls are just summons used by the Dryads to transmit their voices, theoretically, their IQ will not be much higher than that of the Elemental Samurai. But they are also the eyes that the Dryads use to extend their vision. If they attract the attention of the Dryads behind them, then everything will be fine.
The floating soul turned around and left, but before Quelson could breathe a sigh of relief, a cold and slender hand suddenly patted his shoulder, causing him to stand on his back instantly.
Quier clenched his fists and turned his head sharply, and the wolf soul tattoo on his face also appeared, which allowed him to enter the best fighting state at any time.
However, what appeared behind him was not Wild Hunt or anything else.
is a stern-faced, tall human woman.
She was wearing light and delicate leather armor, carrying a precise burst of crossbow arrows on her back, and a silver rapier slung around her waist.
"I just came to Sacred Tree City today. I would like to ask, where is the Canopy Temple that the thing said just now?"
asked the woman.
Quier looked at the human woman in front of him with some doubts.
Just came to Holy Tree City today? That's impossible!
According to the rules, anyone who comes to Sacred Tree City must be accompanied by a local guide, so that those foreigners are familiar with the city's taboos and customs.
This point, even the imperial royal family will not be an exception. Before Irene Riel became the queen who ruled the empire, when she was sent to the Holy Tree City to recuperate as a member of the crown prince, the current Duke of the Holy Tree personally served as her guide.
At will, Quill asked directly:
"only you?"
"Saint... My master said he had something to deal with and asked me to wait for him here. It didn't take long for this to happen..."
Owner? In other words, is that also a human? After all, after the Unification War, Quill had never heard of any human who called the elf master.
So, is this person a... stowaways who don't understand the rules of Sacred Tree City at all?
Maybe you can use it…
In an instant, Quill had a plan in his mind to get out of trouble.
Immediately he nodded and said:
"No problem, it just so happens that I am going to the Canopy Sanctuary, so you can take me along the way... What's the name of Miss?"
Quier opened his mouth and probed.
"Nezmaar."
The woman answered directly.
"You can call me Nezemar."
