Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 166 Dark Elves Cause Trouble!

Ding—Ding—Ding—

The curfew bells have already rung in Triumph City.

"Gentlemen, please leave the tavern!"

Inside the tavern, the tall, pot-bellied owner with a thick beard and a whip-like hairpin addressed the tavern patrons in a rough voice.

According to the laws of the Kingdom of Valant, no one is allowed to remain in the tavern during curfew.

Because people who have been drinking are most likely to cause trouble.

This is especially true for wizards after they have drunk alcohol.

In the past, there were times when wizards would cause trouble in taverns at night.

Two wizard apprentices, after drinking, got into a fight over a prostitute.

Although the magic of a wizard apprentice is not very powerful, it still has a certain destructive power.

The fight between the two wizard apprentices not only destroyed the tavern.

The fire magic they unleashed also affected the houses next to the tavern.

If it weren't for the fact that there were wizard apprentices living in nearby houses, and that they didn't want the fight to involve them, they would have joined forces to subdue the two men.

Those in the tavern, upon hearing the bell, left on their own.

Only the three dark elves remained in the tavern.

Upon seeing this, the tavern owner swayed over and politely smiled, saying:

"Gentlemen, the tavern is closed, and after curfew, no one is allowed to stay. Please leave."

Just as the tavern owner was speaking, one of the dark elves suddenly reached his hand out from under his cloak.

The tavern owner was taken aback when he saw this move.

The skin on this hand is a deep purple.

At a glance, it was clear that these three people were not of the human race.

Upon seeing this, the boss immediately kicked his feet, which were clad in straw sandals, on the ground.

The ground immediately caved in.

The boss lifted his feet off the ground, kicking up several broken floor tiles.

The obese figure was moving backward rapidly.

His ability to open a shop in Triumph City is certainly not that of an ordinary person.

He used to be a mercenary, and after cultivating to the peak of the Golden Knight realm, he found a wizard who transplanted the bloodline of the Earth Demon Bear into him.

This gave him the physique of the Earth Demon Bear.

For a knight who has undergone a bloodline transplant to continue to improve, he must either constantly cultivate to better integrate himself with the bloodline, or, after cultivating to a certain level, find magical beast bloodline materials and a wizard to continue the bloodline transplant.

Actually, he came here to open a tavern in order to make money and meet wizards.

His tavern wasn't just a place for people to drink and have fun; it also served as a middleman.

Some tasks involve hunting monsters, assassinating knights, or assassinating wizards. Others will find the knights and wizards to handle these tasks through his introduction.

He then collected a commission from this.

The purpose of getting to know the wizard was to find a suitable recipient when he was able to perform the next bloodline transplant.

The tavern owner retreated while pondering his next move.

He didn't know what species the three humanoid beings were, or what kind of people they were that had been modified by wizards.

He had heard that some wizards transplanted the bloodline of magical beasts into knights, and those knights turned into strange creatures such as lizardmen and crocodile men.

He did not intend to deal with the three of them himself.

He thought that he had paid a lot of taxes to the royal family by running a tavern in Triumph City.

He had to get the city guards on patrol to handle the matter.

The tavern owner retreated five meters in an instant, almost reaching the door. He turned around and headed out, shouting for the guards to come.

But just as he retreated, the dark elf who had stretched out his arm suddenly reached into the shadows to the side.

The shadow resembled a swamp, and the dark elf's arm reached into it.

It was already night, and rows of bronze candlesticks were placed in the tavern, each lit with a large white candle.

Even though the tavern was brightly lit by candlelight, shadows were still inevitable.

As the tavern owner stepped back, a shadow fell on his right side.

Just after that dark elf stretched his arm into the shadows beside him.

His muscular, deep purple arm immediately emerged from the shadow beneath the tavern owner's right rib.

The tavern owner was startled when he saw this.

My gaze fell upon a dagger used for opening bottles on the bar counter.

He immediately grabbed the dagger and slashed it at the arm that was extending to his right side!
A clanging sound rang out; the arm was unharmed, but the dagger had broken in two.

The tavern owner's eyes widened, and a chill ran down his spine.

Immediately afterwards, the fingernails on that arm suddenly became sharp.

With a swift movement, he reached for the tavern owner's heart.

The tavern owner hurriedly reached out with both hands to grab the arm.

The next moment, the tavern owner grabbed the arm with both hands, as if trying to control its movement.

However, the strength of this arm is astonishing.

No matter how hard the tavern owner tried, he couldn't control the arm from moving forward.

The tavern owner was startled and was about to shout, hoping that a patrolling knight would be passing by outside the tavern at that moment.

But at that moment, another dark elf stretched out his cloak with his equally deep purple arm, grabbed at the wall, and grabbed a handful of brick dust.

Then, it reached into the shadows.

In the shadows beneath the tavern owner's armpit, the arm suddenly emerged and swiftly shoved into the tavern owner's open mouth!
The tavern owner had his mouth full of brick dust, and if he wanted to shout, he could only let out muffled groans.

The next moment, the tavern owner could only watch helplessly as an arm emerged from the shadows on his right side, pierced through his chest, and pulled out his heart.

A bright red heart, radiating warmth.

pat!

After losing his heart, the tavern owner's obese body collapsed to the ground.

Steaming hot blood was still flowing from the wound in his chest, spreading across the ground.

A dark elf approached the tavern owner's corpse and whispered an elven incantation.

As the incantation was uttered, energy particles surged toward the tavern owner.

The tavern owner's corpse and blood emitted a yellow fumes.

Before long, the tavern owner's body and blood dissipated along with the yellow smoke.

Calm returned to the tavern.

The three dark elves sat in the tavern without saying a word.

They simply went to the tavern's cellar, opened their favorite wines, and drank to their hearts' content.

……

After the curfew bell rang, the streets of the city were deserted and silent.

The candles in the tavern were extinguished, but the dark elves, being allied with darkness, actually had a heightened sense of presence once inside.

No patrolling guards entered the tavern.

Originally, for a period of time after the Kingdom of Valant issued the decree that taverns could not accommodate people, guards would frequently enter the taverns to check on them.

However, after a period of time, no abnormalities were found.

Gradually, the guards stopped bothering to check the tavern. Now, only a handful of guards patrol the streets of the city.

They would only send a signal to notify other guards and the wizards on duty in the Wizard Council in special circumstances.

It was late at night, quiet and uneventful.

Let's go outside.

One of the dark elves, having finished the last sip of his drink, addressed the other two dark elves.

The two dark elves nodded and followed him out.

The three dark elves left the tavern and went out onto the street.

The streets were quiet and deserted, and even in the houses, few people had their lights on.

These three dark elves not only knew some of the elven combat magic, but also possessed extremely strong physical bodies.

This allows each of them to single-handedly kill a Level 3 official wizard or a true wizard.

If they join forces, they could very well kill a level four official wizard, or even a great wizard.

The bloodline sorcerer Sophie sent them because he believed they could cause great chaos in Triumph City.

Moreover, these three dark elves all possess elven magic that allows them to conceal their own energy fluctuations.

This is also why they were able to swagger into the city.

Although others felt that the three of them were not simple, seeing that they had no energy fluctuations, they could not predict their danger.

Three dark elves slowly chanted incantations.

It was as if the surrounding darkness was closing in on them, like a veil clinging to their bodies.

This made them appear even more secretive.

Even a true sorcerer who releases their spirit cannot sense their presence.

Then they chose a house and broke in.

They quickly killed one of the wizard apprentices and then plundered all the resources he had left in the room.

As for the magical plants and beasts of the wizard apprentices, since they had neither containers for them nor the intention to deal with them, they simply left them.

What they took with them were some ready-made cultivation materials, magic ore, and magic stones.

In fact, with their strength, they could easily infiltrate the upper city and wreak havoc.

However, Sophie, a high-ranking wizard of the bloodline who once held a high position in the Wizard Council, told them that there were many magical formations set up by the Augustus family in Triumph City.

And there are especially many in the upper part of Triumph City.

It would be best for them not to enter the upper city to fight.

They could easily cause chaos in the middle city, then lure out the wizards from the upper city and kill them.

Once the number of wizards had dwindled to a certain level, they entered the upper city. Even the remaining wizards, aided by the magic array, were no match for them.

The three dark elves continued their journey, entering house after house, killing wizard apprentices and plundering resources.

Most of the residents in the central city are wizarding apprentices, with a few being first-level certified wizards.

These wizards were naturally no match for these three dark elves.

The three dark elves had their sights set on the wizards of the upper city and did not believe that these wizarding apprentices possessed any treasures.

However, some of the items belonging to the wizard apprentices still caught their eye.

Their plan was to kill several houses, then lure the guards to discover the situation, which would then attract even more powerful wizards from the Wizard Council.

……

Triumph City within a city, single-story houses.

Ronan closed his eyes, sat cross-legged under his natal tree of immortality, and cultivated the Scripture of Immortality of Ten Thousand Trees.

The sacred light emanating from his natal tree of immortality shone upon him, increasing the affinity of his energy particles.

Ronan's divine sense extended nearly two thousand meters, perceiving everything around him.

Suddenly, a thought struck him.

He sensed that in a house about a thousand meters away, a wizard's apprentice had silently lost his life.

What happened?

Ronan was startled.

He was completely unaware of this life-threatening thing.

This means that the power of this thing is beyond his current ability to face.

In a flash of inspiration, Ronan appeared in the world of cultivation.

He used the "Seven Star Sword Escape" technique and flew to a forest in the blink of an eye before immediately returning to the Wizarding World.

He first went to the laboratory and put away all the items.

Then, upon arriving at the botanical garden, I touched the two oldest trees that were my natal trees with both hands.

Immediately, carrying the two natal immortality trees, he arrived at the forest in the mortal world of the cultivation world.

Upon reaching the forest, the two natal trees fell to the ground and took root.

Ronan didn't waste a moment. He returned to the wizarding world, took with him several magic stones engraved with extension magic patterns and the Azure Cloud Bamboo, and then used earth magic to fill the pit of his natal longevity tree. After that, he traveled to the world of cultivation.

Only in the botanical garden remain the magical plants of the wizarding world, and a natal immortal tree that is only about ten years old.

He wanted to use this sapling to investigate the state of the wizarding world.

Once the danger has passed, he will return to the wizarding world.

After all, the spiritual energy in the cultivation world is not abundant, while the mortal world has almost no spiritual energy, which is not conducive to the growth of the natal longevity tree and the Azure Cloud Bamboo.

Ronan, while in the forest of the cultivation world, kept sensing the situation of the bungalows in the wizarding world.

He could only sense that the lives of several wizard apprentices in nearby houses were dying one after another.

He still couldn't perceive anything else.

A while later, he realized that the wizard apprentice in the nearest mansion had also lost his life.

So, the next target of those strange objects should be his bungalow.

Sure enough, after a while, he could no longer sense that anyone else had died.

Immediately afterwards, he sensed that his door had opened.

However, he could not sense the wizard who opened his door.

After all, the elven magic of these three dark elves makes them undetectable to wizards.

However, they can still be seen with the naked eye.

At this moment, Ronan was relying entirely on his mental perception, and because his mental strength was not yet strong enough, he could not sense the three dark elves.

Next, Ronan sensed that the magical plants in his botanical garden were moving.

Even the youngest of the tree's natal trees was moved.

Then, it was put down.

Clearly, this thing was unaware of the origin of his natal tree of immortality.

He showed absolutely no interest in this small potted plant.

"Did this family of wizard apprentices flee?"

Suddenly, Ronan heard voices coming from the laboratory.

'This is... Elvish!'

Ronan saw books teaching Elvish in both the wizard apprentice library and the first-level official wizard library at the Kingdom Wizarding Academy.

He recorded it using HarmonyOS, converted it into speech, and learned some of it.

Although he didn't quite understand the meaning of the sentence, he could tell it was Elvish by its pronunciation.
