Soul of Burning Steel

After a moment of silence, Galannord sighed slightly—she had already sighed many times when talking to Joshua today—naturally, the instructor said helplessly: "Radcliffe, your way of speaking will People don’t know how to respond.”

But she doesn't seem to mind, it seems that there are similar people around her who don't look at the surrounding situation and talk casually. As if recalling his friend, the teacher naturally shook his head and said directly: "Then let me just say it, the matter is still about the World Tree."

"World Tree?" Joshua asked in confusion, and he didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with his way of speaking, and he didn't realize his EQ: "That tree species?"

"Yes, it is the tree species that was reawakened by the father of nature in the great Ajax volcano."

Galan Nord said patiently: "I think you should have heard of the recent discord among the elves, all of which started because of the World Tree."

Joshua nodded at this. He came to the Lake of Eternity to meet with the nature teacher this time, so he had done his homework. Of course he knew the internal situation of the elves. Generally speaking, the nine largest elves The tribes were dissatisfied because the royal court monopolized the world tree, but they did not directly confront the authority of the elf queen because of this, they just protested silently and expressed their non-cooperation with actions.

In these few months, cracks have gradually appeared in the originally monolithic elves. The royal court's decree cannot leave the city circle of the Eternal Lake, and the nine major tribes cannot get the core resources support from the royal court. The two sides are in a stalemate. All elves feel uneasy about this, and in this cold war atmosphere, conflicts seem to be on the verge of breaking out.

"Speaking of this, I also find it very strange, why don't you open up the inheritance of the father of nature to those people?"

Since he is not an elf, Joshua has nothing to do with him, so he asked in his heart, he shrugged and said, "Father of Nature must not wake up the tree species of the world to make the royal family dominate—and according to my impression of you, ma'am , I don’t feel like someone who keeps secrets.”

Of course, Galan Nord is not a person who hides selfishness. In fact, the reason why she is called a natural teacher is because she has a good understanding of all intelligent life, whether it is an elf or a human, whether it is a dwarf or a dwarf. Seriously teaching without discrimination, she is the existence with the most disciples in name in the entire Mycroft continent, because theoretically, any druid and mage related to the earth element has listened to the public lectures of this legendary powerhouse.

"I don't know the explanation either."

But now, when faced with Joshua's doubts, such a mentor who is famous for teaching without discrimination can only smile wryly and shake his head. Galannord didn't seem to know how to answer for a while. Finally, she said softly: "Radcliffe, what do you think is the World Tree?"

is a good question. After thinking for a while, Joshua replied, "The perfect version of the Mother Tree of Life? Or, in a sense, the offspring and copy of the Father of Nature."

"Yes and no."

Galan Nord did not deny Joshua's answer. She raised her head and looked at the nine giant trees standing on the lake of eternity. The natural teacher's eyes reflected the image of the giant trees standing between the sky and the earth. Later, she Lowering his head, he looked at Joshua again: "The World Tree is indeed a higher-level existence than the Mother Tree of Life. It has many miraculous effects, and even contains His Majesty's complete inheritance, but besides that, there are many other things. ..."

After frowning and thinking for a while, the teacher naturally found a suitable word: "information."

"Her Majesty and I analyzed the essence of the World Tree Seed, and we were surprised to find that the World Tree Seed is not so much the seed of a supernatural plant, but rather a large-scale 'biological database'. Its core Most of the inheritance and information of the elves in the 'ancient times' are stored in it."

Speaking of this, the tone of the nature teacher gradually turned calm, and she explained to Joshua in detail what she had discovered with the Elf Queen in a tone without emotional fluctuations.

The world tree species is a clone of the father of nature splitting itself. It is his heir and a test product for him to enter the void world. Its core contains enough information for a team of elves to build an extraordinary civilization from scratch. The library contains all-encompassing content, from building cross-boundary portals to how to plant land to grow plants, you can find all kinds of knowledge.

"In the late period of the Glorious Era, the ancestors of our elves had carried out many foreign colonization experiments. The solar ship carried the mature mother trees of life and the elites of the elves to other worlds for tentative colonization, but because they could not transform the local natural , all alien colonies need the resource assistance of the Mycroft Continent itself, otherwise it will be difficult for the colonies to survive for a long time."

The teacher of nature lowered her eyes, she did not meet Joshua's eyes, but looked down at the new buds of flowers and plants: "Your Majesty has collected the data of the colony, and then created the world tree, and the plan for it has not yet started The expansion ended because of the final battle, but it recorded the information of those outside colonial elves...they broke off the connection with the Mycroft world before the final battle, and now...should have been lost in the depths of the endless void. place."

Almost impossible to survive.

Hearing this, Joshua couldn't help but sighed slightly. The memories he got from the black mist emerged in his mind: the black shadow covered the light of the multiverse, and the all-devouring evil swept across all worlds and heavens. Under the mopping up of hordes of evil gods, even the "Sanctuary Civilization", a great civilization that spanned many worlds and was allied with the world of Mycroft in the Era of Glory, collapsed and perished, leaving only the black fog lingering on.

Even if the Mycroft world has defeated the enemy, it has become what it is today because of the drastic regress of civilization. Although the Starfall Era has touched the shadow of the original Glorious Era, there is still a long way to go to make up-the civilization matrix This is the case, not to mention those scattered branches.

Having said that, Joshua probably understood the purpose of the natural teacher.

"So, you plan to join the empire's foreign expansion plan? You plan to use the information in the world tree to find those wandering elf colonists?"

Joshua shook his head: "Welcome, whether it's Israel, Nostradamus or me, you are definitely welcome to join, but with all due respect, those colonists who lived thousands of years ago... may have long since become Dust."

What Joshua said was quite pertinent. After all, if it was swallowed by the evil gods and their families, there would be no ashes left.

"From a rational point of view, even if those colonists died, the relics they left behind are a great harvest, which can provide us with a lot of experience in alien colonization. From an emotional point of view, these colonists Leaving their hometown, and then the former elves abandoned them, so now, as successors, we are obliged to let these pioneers go home."

The natural tutor nodded, and she calmly said: "I will discuss the franchise plan with Israel personally. The elves are willing to provide technical and personnel support, but this time I just want to ask you alone. If Radcliffe Count Husband next time you go out, I hope you can pay attention to the world of these space-time coordinates, the elves will not be stingy with rewards."

"Yes, but yes... If you have the opportunity, look for these ancient ruins and help these pioneer explorers go home. It's not difficult."

Joshua took over a large number of space-time coordinates sent by the natural teacher through spiritual communication, and he frowned: "But why do you ask me alone?

"After all, in the entire Mycroft Continent, only you go to the void the most times and gain the most, don't you?"

The soldier thought about it carefully, and there was really no way to refute it—since he came to Mycroft Continent, he had to go to another world almost every few months. How much time is there in the other world... The current him, in the eyes of other legendary powerhouses, might have already had the identity label of 'expert in void exploration'.

After all, other legendary powerhouses have their own forces or races to be responsible for. The greater the strength, the greater the responsibility, and the greater the power. They are the leaders of a group of people, and naturally they can't run around like soldiers.

"However, you still didn't explain why you didn't openly pass it on to the other nine major tribes... Although it's a private matter between your races, I've met the Father of Nature after all. He definitely doesn't like the way the elves look like now."

Since it was an internal conflict among the elves, it was difficult for Joshua to continue asking, but the natural teacher had no intention of hiding it. She sighed and said slowly, "Joshua, don't you understand?"

"The core of the world's tree species is the database of elves from the 'ancient times'."

Once again emphasizing the prefix 'ancient', Galannord closed his eyes and shook his head: "The inheritance of the elves is incomplete. Since the beginning of the Starfall Era thousands of years ago, we have been groping for it from scratch. The road to the extraordinary, so all the elves are very eager for a complete set of inheritance from the gods——I understand the dissatisfaction of the nine tribes, because that is what I really thought in my heart when I was groping hard."

"But things like nature are ever-changing, not static."

Opening his eyes again, the teacher of nature said in a firm tone: "The way of nature thousands of years ago is not applicable today at all. The way of nature passed down by your majesty can greatly inspire legends like me in some profound places. , but for those who do not even know what they are practicing, it is a complete dead end!"

Galan Nord's tone was extremely firm and confident, and she didn't feel that she had made any mistakes at all. Even in the face of the inheritance from the father of nature, the creator of the elves, who she admired very much, she still dared to criticize: "The nature taught by your majesty Divine arts, most of the time, need to rely on the power of a great being called 'the world'. According to his inheritance, that great being seems to be a will to treat all things gently, but now, this The will disappeared, and even worse, it began to hate us—so from the very beginning, His Majesty's divine arts cannot be applied today!"

It is Mycroft the Steel Serpent, the will of the world.

The moment Joshua heard this sentence, he knew the true face of that great existence. He didn't know if the teacher of nature knew that the will of the world was being sealed deep in the heart of the earth. The soldier felt that she should know, but he didn't think he knew it. I know, so I explained it to him in a more tactful way.

"So I can't make this inheritance public. On the contrary, I want to completely erase it and bury it."

Ending with such a decisive sentence, the teacher's tone gradually softened, and she seemed to have noticed that her previous attitude was a little too aggressive: "Your Majesty is not wrong, what is wrong is this world, the world changes, so we have to change accordingly, You can't blindly follow the ancient inheritance."

"It's very bold, but why don't you explain it to those tribes? According to your prestige, even if they doubt it, they will believe it."

Joshua understood what the teacher of nature did. Indeed, if the inheritance of the ancient natural magic is related to the steel python, then the best way to deal with it is to completely eliminate it without leaving any traces. No one knows about the steel python. Will Mycroft have any backhands that can escape from the fluctuations of natural magic? After all, it is the will of a world, and it can't be too cautious to treat it.

However, there is no problem with the general direction strategy of the teacher of nature, but the details are too rough. As long as the elf royal court, who also knows the truth, needs to deal with it a little bit, it will not cause trouble to the point where the elves are about to fight among themselves.

"Because many elves don't understand what is 'nature'."

Regarding Joshua's words, Galannod just smiled lightly, and she said leisurely: "Many elves, including you outsiders, may think that nature is synonymous with the world, and the ecological circle is equal to the world you and I live in. But in fact, this is not the case. Without the interference of that great being, the force of nature has long been converted into a brand new, different power, but most elves are not aware of this, so I say they 'I don't know what I'm practicing'."

While speaking, the teacher of nature turned around slowly. She turned her back to Joshua and opened her arms towards the Lake of Eternity. A wave of light green light streaks began to surge up and down Galanod's body, and it gradually moved towards the lake of eternity. As the outside world spread and turned into a warm breeze, Joshua raised his head and watched the light green wind sweep across the lake and the surrounding forests. He felt that the surrounding nature began to tremble slowly, as if A huge life is shaking the lung cavity, taking a deep breath.

"Nature, not the world, is, on the contrary, a symbol of the triumph of life over the world."

Galan Nord said softly. At the beginning, her voice was very peaceful at first, but as she spoke later, it became heavier and heavier. As if she wanted to prove something to someone, she said loudly with an extremely resolute attitude: "The current elves' understanding of nature is completely wrong. The ecological circle was not born to protect the world from the very beginning, but life was created to protect itself!"

"The world is eternal, and the birth of natural life is to conquer this eternity. We will multiply on this land until the end of this world, or the end of our race!"

The teacher of nature turned her head suddenly. She and Joshua looked at each other. The warrior could sense that this legendary powerhouse was very emotional. She took a lot of deep breaths before calming down.

"The concept of the father of nature is outdated. I must reverse the elves' cognition of nature in a positive way. There can be no compromise. This time I invited the leaders of all the tribes to show them the true way of nature. "

After a long silence, Galannod said in a faint voice: "Joshua, you are the only human being who has seen the Father of Nature."

At this time, there was a trace of indescribable confusion in her tone: "Tell me, is His Majesty's way suitable for elves, or is my way more suitable?"

Asking this question must be a great torture for Galannord.

Joshua let out a sigh of relief. He knew that for this lady who had always revered the Father of Nature and regarded her as the origin of elves, and a loving protector, it would be a very painful thing to deviate from her path. The reason why she asked Joshua to come here may not be for the gift of the Mother Tree of Life, nor for joining the development plan. The purpose of Galannord is very simple: she just wants to learn from Joshua, the only one who has seen nature. From the human mouth of the Father, get a yes or no answer.

She is firm in her attitude towards the outside world, but in fact, she is still confused

The warrior is very clear that the confusion of the natural teacher is because she is too powerful. Galannord has gone too deep and too far on the path of nature, and even the father of nature cannot guide her forward. Now, she has come to a fork in the road that no one has traveled, but she doesn't know which road is more suitable for today's elves.

Legends, all legends, are walking on a road that has no predecessors. They are the pioneers of the road, and naturally there are many confusions and choices that newcomers do not know.

"I don't know, ma'am."

Looking at this scene and hearing Galannord's question, Joshua didn't know how to answer at first, but then he laughed: "But, I think, you shouldn't doubt yourself."

The soldier recalled what he had seen and heard in the world of Ilgna back then. He recalled the disdain and anger of the steel python Ilgna for the Father of Nature—the world hated this god for transforming his body for his own people, but In order to allow their own people to live in a different world safely.

For the sake of the spirit, he changed his course.

For the elves, she chose this path.

Vaguely, the wrinkled tree face of the Father of Nature coincides with the beautiful face of Galannord in front of him. The two are completely different, but they are completely the same. The starting points of the two are completely different, but they end up very different. The road is the same.

Therefore, Joshua bowed slightly to Galannord, and he said sincerely, "Because you are a well-deserved teacher of nature."
