Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 234 The Uprooted Fairy Tree
The elven priest Gurim, residing in the southwestern province, consulted the elven god through his natal tree of immortality.

Ronan immediately conveyed his instructions to Gurim through a blessing.

The idea was for Grimm to first negotiate with the invading elves.

The elves are a powerful race with ancient magical knowledge.

Ronan, of course, would be taken over if possible.

It's better than killing them and letting them become extinct.

Upon receiving instructions, Gurim immediately took his elf companions and went to negotiate with his people.

……

The high priest of the elves, Gerjo, came here because the elven kingdom was suddenly invaded by many powerful wizards and the Elven Tree was uprooted. He wanted to find the Book of the Elves in order to know what the future of the elves should be.

He brought the elves to the Dawn Continent, and with their elven magic, they quickly broke through the defensive barrier protecting the western coast of the continent.

Then, with the help of the elven wizard, they broke through one magical array after another.

Then, they captured a human wizard and used illusion magic to try and find out the whereabouts of the elves, including Grimm.

However, not every wizard knew that the elves of Grimm had established another elven settlement in the southwestern province.

They captured a human wizard, but naturally they couldn't get any information out of him.

So they advanced while capturing wizards for questioning.

Finally, a wizard told them that Golem and the other elves were heading towards the southwestern province.

Thus, Gorjo and the other elves set their sights on the southwestern province.

These elves came in a vast and mighty procession; it could be said that all the surviving elves from the elf kingdom had come.

The number of elves is many times greater than the number that Grimm brought back.

Wherever the elves went, they left their mark.

Not only wizards and knights, but even the farmers working in the fields saw this magnificent elf procession.

As a result, the lords of the provinces took notice wherever the elves went.

Meanwhile, the Wizard Council is also mobilizing wizarding forces from various provinces to prepare for a large-scale encirclement of these elves.

The wizards who arrived first did not dare to make a move easily.

They were aware of the elves' strength.

Not only do elves possess ancient and magical elven magic and forging techniques, but they were also the dominant species in this world in ancient times.

Over the years, the elves must have left behind some amazing knowledge.

If they were to do it themselves, they would be overestimating their abilities.

Only when the kingdom's wizarding forces completely surround them can they succeed.

Even if the elves were incredibly powerful, it was still thousands of years ago.

They are now so numerous that they could practically overwhelm the elves.

Even if the elves are powerful, if there are many of them, one person can use their magic together to wipe them out.

As Gerjol led the elves forward, he naturally noticed waves of wizards gathering towards them.

Light elves, unlike dark elves, are, to some extent, a race that does not want to fight.

Gejo sensed the commotion around him and thought that if these human wizards didn't make a move, that would be fine.

If they make a move, the elves will have no choice but to retaliate and make these human wizards bleed.

Just then, Gerjoh suddenly sensed a familiar energy fluctuation coming towards him.

That was none other than Grimm, the elven priest who had taken the Book of Elves and defected.

Soon, Gurim used elven magic to create a boat from a giant tree and brought over a dozen elves.

"You traitors!"

The elves behind Gorky shouted as soon as they saw Grimm and the others.

Some who were loyal to the Elf God were deeply resentful that Grimm had taken the Book of the Elves and escaped from the Elf Kingdom.

Grimm approached Gorjo and his group of elves, put away his flying boat, and gave Gorjo a celestial salute, saying, "High Priest."

“Grimo,” Gorjo said calmly to Grimo.

Although, it was true that Grimm taking away the Book of Elves displeased him.

But after all, Grimm took the Book of Elves with him based on his understanding of its prophecies, rather than out of a true betrayal of the Elven race.

The Dark Elves, for example, were the true betrayers of the Elven race.

Moreover, ever since the priest Zul visited the Dawn Continent and saw the natal Tree of Immortality radiating holy light, he told Gjo about this place.

Gerjol also often pondered whether the prophecies in the Book of Spirits were truly as Grimm understood them to be.

In addition, the Elf Kingdom is now being invaded by many wizards.

He witnessed firsthand how numerous wizards set up magical formations and unleashed powerful spells to counter the divine power of the Spirit Tree.

Finally, when the elves saw the mother tree of the Elven Tree, they were uprooted bit by bit by the wizards.

At that moment, he felt that perhaps Gurim's understanding of the prophecies in the Book of Elves was correct.

On the continent of Dawn, let alone finding a way to restore the elven race to its former glory, it should be possible to help them escape their current predicament.

In the Elf Kingdom today, the wizards are probably still fighting against the Elf Tree.

After all, it is said that the Elven Tree Mother Tree was planted in this world by an emissary sent by the Elven God thousands of years ago.

The Fairy Tree Mother Tree possesses immense divine power.

Even if you try to pull it out, it's not so easy.

However, once those wizards uproot the Elven Tree, it's uncertain whether they will exterminate all the elves.

Gorjo stopped the rest of the hostile words directed at Grimm and the other elves, gesturing for Grimm to continue.

Gurim said, "High Priest, the prophecy in the Book of Elves is correct."

As he spoke, he took out the Book of Spirits.

Turning to the very end of the prophecy section, the last few prophecies foretell that arriving in the Kingdom of Valant will restore the glory of the Elven race.

Following this prophecy, there are several new prophecies.

This is how Gurim recites prophetic spells to the Book of Elves every day, to see if the Elven God has any new prophecies.

The later prophecies even mention the arrival of the Zul priests in the Kingdom of Valant and the suffering of the Elven Kingdom.

As Gerjol looked at the prophecies in the Book of Spirits, his mind seemed to grow clearer and clearer.

'Could it be that the Kingdom of Valant truly holds a way to restore the glory of the elves?'

Gorjo had originally thought that the elves and humans were two completely hostile races.

In kingdoms like Valant, wizards and knights would secretly enter the continent where the Elf Kingdom was located to capture elves and sell them in various countries.

He found these things disgusting and infuriating.

Moreover, the Kingdom of Valant had launched a war of invasion against the Elf Kingdom in recent years. In that war, although the Kingdom of Valant lost many wizards, the Elf Kingdom also lost many elves.

Humans have a high reproductive rate, while elves have a low reproductive rate.

These human wizards who died may be able to recover in a few decades or a hundred years.

However, the souls of the dead elves, which return to the Elven Tree, will not be able to be reborn until the birth of new elves, no matter how long.

He couldn't believe that the elves could find a way to restore their former glory in the human kingdom.

However, ever since he learned that trees similar to the Fairy Tree had appeared on this continent.

In his heart, he guessed that perhaps the Elf God wanted to help his elven race rebuild their home on this continent.

"Take me to see the Spirit Tree of this continent."

Gerjo said to Gurim.

Gurim nodded and led Gjor and the other elves toward the southwestern province.

As the elves moved, wizards from the Kingdom of Valant came from all directions, gradually completing the encirclement of the elves.

……

Gorjo, leading the elves, followed Grim to the elf settlement in the southwestern province.

From afar, they saw a great tree radiating holy light, standing tall beneath the clouds.

This tree, after all, is the second oldest natal longevity tree in Ronan's spiritual realm.

Although it cannot compare to the mother tree of the Fairy Tree, it is still quite magnificent.

When Gerjol and the other elves saw this tree, they were deeply shocked.

"This... sacred tree, can it bless us?" Gerjo asked.

“Of course,” Gurim said.

Then, Gorjo glanced at Grimm and began to silently recite a blessing incantation.

He immediately received a response from the "God of Elves".

His physical strength increased.

Furthermore, some "divine pronouncements" and knowledge about the human race flooded into his mind.

Gerjo's eyes widened slightly, his pupils gleaming in his azure irises.

He increasingly felt that the Elf God had planted the Elf Tree here, allowing them to develop in this place.

……

After blessing Gerjord, Ronan immediately went to the Wizarding Council headquarters and had them deliver a message: the wizarding forces within the kingdom should now disperse.

The people who remained at the Wizarding Council headquarters had seen "Dollyfa" before at the Wizarding Tournament.

Now, he has seen "Dorifa," and the energy fluctuations emanating from "Dorifa" are extremely strong. In the entire Kingdom of Valant, only "Dorifa" can emit such strong energy fluctuations.

Therefore, the wizard did not doubt Dolifa's identity much and immediately sent a message to the other wizards.

Immediately, the wizards cast flight and speed spells to notify the group of wizards who were surrounding the elf settlement and preparing to take action.

……

After Ronan finished sending the message, he used his natal Tree of Immortality to sense the conversation between Grimm and Gorjo.

At this moment, Gerjol was telling Grimm in detail about the wizards' invasion of the Elf Kingdom.

Ronan couldn't hear Gerjoh's words, but he could sense the vibrations of the sound waves.

He used Hongmeng to first convert the vibrations of the sound waves into elven incantations, and then into a language he was familiar with.

He immediately realized that the main purpose of the wizards who invaded the Elf Kingdom was the Elf Tree.

Moreover, judging from Gerjo's words, the fierce magical combat style of these wizards, as well as their ranks, most likely came from the Wizarding Islands.

From Gerjo's words, he initially judged that in addition to the Supreme Wizard, these wizards should also have a Dominator Wizard.

It seems that these wizards most likely come from the central area of ​​the Wizarding Islands.

The wizarding organizations to which these wizards belong could easily destroy a first-level continent by sending out just a few wizards.

He didn't know why, after thousands of years, these wizards had come here at this very moment to obtain the entire Elven Tree.

You should know that he originally planned to go to the Elf Kingdom after his strength had improved, and use his natal tree of immortality to absorb the nutrients from the Elf Treasure Tree.

In this way, by combining the year of his natal Longevity Tree with the year of the Spirit Tree, he should be able to cultivate the Eternal Green Body.

He didn't know what these wizards, who might have come from the Wizarding Islands, wanted the Silmaril Tree for.
Among these wizards is a sovereign wizard; if he were to make a move, he would likely not fare well either.

Although he wanted the Silmaril Tree, he had to hold back and wait until he went to the Wizarding Islands. If the Silmaril Tree was still there, he would try to steal it.

If that doesn't work, he can quietly cultivate and, after some time, he can still develop the Everlasting Body.

Because the sovereign wizard was there, he suppressed even the thought of going to find out.

To avoid being discovered by the sovereign wizard and causing other problems.

As for what Gorjo said, his fear that the wizards of the Wizarding Isles might exterminate the Elven race.

Ronan, however, was wary. If the wizards from the Wizarding Islands were to invade the kingdom, then he, "Dolifa," would have no choice but to disappear.

And so, half a month later, nothing happened in the kingdom.

Ronan believed that the wizards of the Wizarding Islands had no interest in these remaining elves.

Immediately, through the blessing of the elven community, he instructed Gjor to send elves back to the elven kingdom to investigate.

Ten days later, the elf who went to investigate returned safely.

Report to Gorky and the Sacred Tree that the Elven Tree has completely disappeared.

All the wizards who had invaded the continent had also left.

Today, the Elf Kingdom is in ruins due to war and the loss of the Elf Tree, and it appears somewhat gloomy without the light of the sacred tree.

The dark elves emerged from the shadows and took over the entire elven kingdom.

Upon hearing this news, some elves advocated going back to drive out the dark elves and reclaim the elven kingdom.

But Gerjol said, "Now, the Silmaril is here, not on that continent."

"This is our home."

"Moreover, without the holy light of the Elven Tree, our power will be weakened."

"Although those dark elves are not as strong as us, we will still have to pay a price if we want to defeat them."

"Dark elves are masters of escape and concealment; even if we pay a price, we cannot wipe them out..."

After considering various factors, the elves decided to stay here.

They first rested and recuperated here, waiting for the next turning point in the fate of the Elven race.

For thousands of years, ever since the elves were driven to the point where they could only survive on one continent by the wizards, they have been left to await their fate and the instructions of the elven god.

They wanted to restore their former glory, but they knew clearly that their current strength was no match for the vast number of wizards outside.
