Chapter 395: Dragon Slayer
"Your Highness, is what we are looking for really the World Tree?"
This was not the first time I heard similar doubts, but this time, even the determined Silver Moon Elf Princess Fulian could not help but be shaken by it at this moment.
She raised her hand and looked at the back of her hand, which was as white as jade. There were unusual changes in the delicate skin texture. They were extremely light scales that appeared at an unknown time.
That was a change that was easy to ignore. As a soul-level mage, her understanding and control of her body was beyond the scope of ordinary understanding, but she could not prevent this change from happening.
This is like a change that she should be born with, rooted in her blood and soul. If she wants to change it, she must veto everything about herself, which is the foundation of her existence, so it is impossible to do so. to things.
Gently raising her hand, she touched the scales on the back of her hand. The feedback she received was not delicate and soft, but tough with a rough and frosted texture. It was as if what she touched was not her own skin, but an extremely thin layer. scales.
As an elf princess, she was like this, and the other elves were in even more miserable conditions. Fulilian turned to look at the wood elf elder who asked.
In fact, just looking at the other person's life form, it is no longer accurate to call it a wood elf. It is more appropriate to call it a dragon.
Because there are two sharp dragon horns piercing out from both sides of the forehead, and green scales grow on the cheeks and exposed skin.
That is definitely not the biological structure that an elf with pure bloodline should have. It is a dragon-like characteristic that only dragon creatures with a high bloodline level can possess.
But now, such characteristics appear in a wood elf elder with pure blood.
The most unacceptable thing is that this change is not an isolated case. Similar changes have occurred in the group of elves who are pursuing the World Tree.
Not only the wood elves, but the silver moon elves with higher bloodline levels also cannot escape the almost ubiquitous dragon infestation.
When Fulilian, the elf princess with the strongest strength, the highest status, and the most noble bloodline, was also unable to escape and was not spared, the decision she made at the beginning was naturally questioned.
"Of course it is the World Tree, but this World Tree does not belong to us elves, but is controlled by the dragon clan. That's why we have such changes."
The hesitation that appeared in Fulilian's eyes was erased by herself for just a moment. She firmly believed that the giant tree standing between the sky and the earth must be the World Tree.
The source of such abnormal changes in them was not the World Tree, but the sun that suddenly appeared among the tree crowns shortly after the World Tree showed its true form.
It was the light emitted by the sun that caused such an unusual change between heaven and earth. Even her bloodline could not escape it and was forced to assimilate.
"How could this happen? How could the seeds of the World Tree fall into the hands of the Dragon Clan?"
Fulilian's words made several wood elf elders lament. They could more or less guess what happened that year, and they could even boldly speculate how the dragon king started his career.
"Maybe this is fate!"
"Your Highness Fulilian, do you think we have a chance to take back the World Tree?"
Rumble——
A bolt of lightning flew out and struck the elf elder who was asking the question, sending the scaly wood elf flying away. He fell heavily onto the sand dune and created a pit several meters deep.
"This World Tree has never belonged to us elves!"
Fulilian looked at the Elf Elder who staggered up with an indifferent expression. She had to admit that after being corroded and corrupted, the Elf's resistance to the elements had increased to a particularly outrageous level.
"When you speak, please use your brain to think carefully about where we live? What changes are happening to you? Do you want to bring disaster to the ethnic group?"
"Your Highness, I made a mistake!"
There was a faint smoke coming from the scales on the chest and abdomen, and the elder, who couldn't see any signs of injury on his body, apologized quickly.
"You'd better pray that His Majesty, who rules here, doesn't notice the stupid things you said."
The expression of this elf princess at this moment is particularly terrifying. She can tolerate her people being lazy and unwilling to make progress, even if they are willing to degenerate, she can ignore it, but she can never tolerate them being stupid where they should not be. Act stupid because it will implicate her.
"Your Highness, since this world tree has been controlled by the Dragon Clan, what's the point of our pursuit? Shouldn't we seek opportunities to escape from here?"
Other elves expressed confusion.
Although there are many creatures and races that admire and pursue the power of dragons, not all races like it, and the elves are one of them.
Almost all elves are repelled, disgusted, and even afraid of the dragon-like characteristics that appear on their bodies.
"Why do you think I haven't tried?"
Looking at these whimsical and innocent guys beside her, Fulian felt helpless and also wanted to laugh. They thought the earth-shattering change not long ago symbolized something.
"We can't go back, this is our home."
"What?"
"What are you surprised about? Don't you have any guesses and preparations?"
Flynn sighed.
"But we could go back to..."
"You also said that, that was before, now everything has changed."
"What will we become in the end?"
A Silver Moon Elf who followed couldn't help asking, his voice trembling, there was a fear that could not be hidden, because he couldn't accept his appearance of wearing scales and horns.
"I don't know."
Flilian shook her head, she looked again, between the towering treetops, the sun shed billions of rays of light, then turned around, facing the world tree that could never be touched,
"Go back to the First Tree City."
"Your Highness, we don't..."
"Wait for the sun to wake up, without permission, we will never be able to get close to the world tree."
Flilian has already recognized the reality and no longer has any fluke.
Seeing the princess like this, the other elves who have already shown dragon characteristics have no choice but to stop and follow the elf princess all the way back. When going forward, the road is tortuous and difficult, but the return journey is particularly fast.
That is, after the elves were defeated by the unacceptable reality and could only settle down unwillingly, Kalimdor basically settled down.
After all, under the shining of the sun, humans and free-range dragon creatures will only feel joy, without any dissatisfaction.
In the crown of the world tree, Diriel's consciousness is immersed in the endless ocean containing many laws and powers, and all things are in it.
Because of the guidance and protection of the world tree, Diriel's consciousness is like a fish entering the water at this moment, with an indescribable sense of joy and comfort.
He roams wantonly, absorbing everything he can touch, and in this process, his spirit, soul, consciousness, everything is transforming, crossing the obstacle that cannot be crossed, and smashing the invisible but real barriers.
However, what Diriel can now touch is the complete laws of a small material world, the two medium-sized worlds where the world tree is rooted, and many small material worlds.
For a top legend who has only been promoted to the Dragon King, the laws he can comprehend are too vast.
Not to mention that there are complete world laws in it. Even if his consciousness is not at risk of being lost, he still shows signs of being immersed in it and unable to extricate himself.
During this process, the World Tree could not help Di Ruier at all, because according to the World Tree's concept of time and growth scale, the time that Di Ruier sank was nothing to it.
Moreover, in the eyes of the World Tree, the longer you sink in it, the more benefits you can gain, and your own King of the Divine Tree will be stronger, which is more beneficial to its growth.
As for the loss of some peripheral benefits, in the eyes of the World Tree, it is even more insignificant.
"No, that's not right, I'm too greedy!"
After an unknown period of time, Di Ruier, who was immersed in it and even felt a little exhausted, suddenly realized that he was in a wrong state. His posture of comprehending the laws was absolutely not advisable.
His current goal is neither to become the master of the world nor to ascend to the legendary realm of the creator in one step. His current goal is to become the Dragon King.
To become the Dragon King, it is enough to comprehend the power of the law that he, the Dragon King, should master, and it would be good enough to be able to break through the realm barrier. It is not a good thing to be greedy.
"Alas, I still have no experience. It would be great if I could have the guidance of an elder. Unfortunately, the Dragon God is not reliable at all."
Di Ruier, who finally reacted, was both annoyed and a little unsatisfied.
"But the only ones who can have experience and give guidance in this realm are probably the legendary Titans. Unfortunately, I am not a Titan."
Some distracting thoughts passed by, Di Ruier suppressed them, and then searched all thoughts and began to comprehend the field he was really good at.
Storm, Ocean, Life
Only the gods who gather the power of faith of all living beings, ignite the divine fire, hold high the throne, obtain the godhood, and exercise the divine duties can pry the power of rules and show the great power of the gods.
Di Ruier does not follow the path of gods, nor does he rely on the power of faith. Instead, he is prepared to use the power of rules with his own strength. Naturally, he must understand the relevant rules thoroughly, otherwise he cannot master them.
This is also one of the biggest barriers for ordinary beings to advance to epics, because only by becoming gods can one see the true laws, but before being promoted to epics, one needs to contact the laws, which is equivalent to an unsolvable cycle.
However, there has never been a truly unsolvable thing in this world, and it is difficult for all living things to do it, but there are always a few, or particularly lucky guys, who can touch the laws before being promoted.
Di Ruier is one of the lucky ones. He used the power of the world tree, so he was able to comprehend the laws. Otherwise, with his background, he really didn't know how to do this.
Even if he asked for help from the platinum dragon god Bahamut, it would probably be difficult to get a response, after all, the other party is both the Dragon King and the Dragon God.
Rumble--
As Di Ruier chose the direction of the laws he comprehended, the light emitted by the sun he incarnated also changed.
Some extremely gifted creatures will suddenly have certain insights in their minds when they look up at the sun. These insights can bring them strength and spiritual growth, or allow them to create some breathing or meditation methods that have never been used before.
Some new paths and schools emerged from this, and on land and in the ocean, there were also new dragon creatures that evolved and mutated under the sun's rays.
The promotion of the Dragon King has affected countless creatures before he was born.
Fortunately, the influence of this has been blocked by the World Tree and has not been perceived by the creatures in the world of Carlos.
In their vision, the dragon clan, which had the potential to swallow the world, suddenly stopped after a powerful ancient dragon was ambushed and the unknown Hades was assassinated.
The border line, which was constantly expanding under the sweep of the completely unreasonable number of dragon beasts, actually showed signs of shrinking and returning to defense.
This made many forces that struggled to support, or even hesitated, and didn't know whether to surrender, see the dawn of victory in resisting the dragon clan and even defeating the dragon clan.
No ruler of any country wants to be ruled. When resistance is hopeless and even more brutal suppression will be ushered in, surrender is naturally an option.
But when they found that the terrifying and invincible enemy was not as strong as they imagined, and was even weaker than they imagined, then they naturally had another idea and plan.
Especially the most terrifying Dragon Emperor, who suddenly fell silent for some unknown reason. When his generals and the most powerful relatives were assassinated, they did not show up. Rumors inevitably appeared, and even some outrageous speculations were rampant.
There are rumors that the Dragon Emperor was also assassinated and had to sleep because of his serious injuries, so he could not show up. There are even rumors that the emperor has fallen, but his relatives and relatives are unwilling to lose their existing interests and choose to block the news.
No matter what the reason is, it is an indisputable fact that the Dragon Emperor did not show up when the situation was most dangerous. So
The Dragon Slayer Alliance
an offensive and defensive alliance with the purpose of resisting, subverting, and even severing the rule of the Dragon Clan appeared.
Under the intervention and guidance of external forces, this alliance almost obtained the participation of most of the kingdom-level forces in the Carlos world in a very short time.
