Chapter 145 The Dance of the Dryad
Father of Oak Tree Sifanath.
He is the only god without a clear camp and the most extreme natural balancer.
Therefore, although He prevented the disaster brought about by the destruction of the Arcane Empire, many races did not know much about His deeds. Because His past actions were too extreme and too easy to cause opposition to civilized races. The Father of Oak only cared about the entire nature, and any race was treated equally to Him. His believers could go from good to evil, as long as they were inclined to neutral camps, there was no problem. The Father of Oak looked at things differently from everyone, and even most of the gods had huge conflicts with Him in terms of values.
At present.
The remaining influence of the father of Oak is limited to druids, treemen, tree spirits and other creatures. Even before He fell, although the father of Oak has powerful divine power and the power of the church is spread all over the corners of the material plane, he still does not get much recognition within the civilizations of many races. Because whether it is humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, etc., it will inevitably destroy nature while developing its own civilization. The only thing that can gain a certain spread within the civilization is the relatively gentle doctrine of the Mother of the Earth and the agricultural development she represents.
Therefore, although the father of Oak saved the world, he was gradually forgotten by the world.
Perhaps he does not need gratitude from the world to come to the Father of Oak. Maintaining the balance of nature is His mission, and sacrificing to protect nature is only fulfilling his mission.
To be honest, Sauron had a fierce conflict with the father of Oak in both his way of doing things and his worldview.
But this did not affect his respect for the father of Oak.
Because the father of Oak is really a great elder. During the long years, the mess left by the gods' struggles again and again were finally dealt with. The material plane experienced countless disasters, and several times were no less than the disaster level of large-scale nuclear explosions, but in the end they were rescued by the father of Oak. Human beings are the race that loves to commit suicide the most. From the Neser era to the Sullien era to the Arcane Empire, if the Monster Empire and another special civilization are added, then the large-scale natural disasters experienced by the material plane may be more.
The Father of Oak and the herders in His church have been tirelessly repairing the natural environment.
As long as it is not a serious destruction of the natural balance, the Father of Oak will not easily show His anger, but if He is really angry, it is definitely a very terrible thing.
Because He is one of the few ancient gods who work part-time [barbarians]!
The father of Oak rarely participates in battles in person, but there is no doubt that his combat power can rank at the forefront in the multiverse, and he is one of the few powerful gods who have the ability to end a plane, but he shouldn't do so.
……………………
Mist forest.
Sauron looked at everything in front of him with a little confusion. The path guided by the Magic Goddess was a route he had never seen before.
Because it is covered with fog all year round, and the inside of the forest is like a maze, during the outbreak of the Saint Catastrophe and during the time after the Saint Catastrophe, adventurers were unable to fully explore this huge primeval forest. There are many lives left over from ancient times here, and relying on the natural environment of the fog forest to avoid harassment from other races.
A strange tree arch appeared in front of him.
They have now penetrated into the foggy forest. In this huge forest with an area of more than tens of thousands of square kilometers, there are many secret realms left over from ancient times.
People call it [Gate of Nature], but in fact they are all residual semi-planes.
"It's here."
Ms. Midnight stopped and stretched out her white fingers to lightly arch the tree arch in front of her. Then she saw the mist in front of her dispersing and a quiet road appeared around.
The trees around them swing slightly as if they have life, making people feel a little uneasy.
“Many of the trees here are dead.”
Ildis' expression was full of wonder. As a wizard who had not yet reached the legendary realm, everything he saw in front of him was strange to him. Under normal circumstances, he would never want to go deep into the foggy forest alone.
"Yes."
Ms. Midnight nodded slightly and said slowly: "The plague has eroded here. There are still some evil forces that affect these trees. What I need your help next is related to this."
A clear river appears in front of you.
This should be a space between the material plane and the semi-plane, and a space gap opened up by some powerful force.
"You can't pass here."
A crisp female voice sounded in front of her. Accompanied by the faint natural aura, a woman in a light green dress came out of the trees in front of her. She looked a bit like an elf because she had a pair of sharp ears, but her appearance did not represent anything. She was actually a high-level tree spirit in front of her.
even!
Sauron also saw the glory of divinity in her.
The tree spirit came to them with a light pace. Ildis's expression seemed a little stunning. From the perspective of beauty, the tree spirit should be the top of the material plane. I guess he may not have seen such a beautiful opposite sex in the past.
"Kalina."
It seemed that this was not the first time Ms. Midnight had been here. She looked at the beautiful tree spirit in front of her and slowly said, "I have to enter the interior of the temple, and there are some things inside that I need."
Kalena should be the name of the beautiful tree spirit in front of her.
She frowned slightly when she heard this. With her strength, she shouldn't be able to see the true identity of the Magic Goddess, but she could roughly see that her strength was extraordinary. This is not the first time the Magic Goddess has come here. The last time she seemed to have returned without success, and then she thought of asking for help. For a moment, even Sauron was curious about what was inside the temple that could make the Magic Goddess eager to get it.
"terribly sorry."
The tree spirit still rejected the Midnight lady in front of her. She shook her head and said, "The seal of nature cannot be opened. We need these forces to prevent the forest from being eroded."
"Please leave here."
The negotiations still failed.
The Magic Goddess didn't seem surprised. Soren, who was next to him, silently pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife when he heard this. Ildis's expression became serious, as if they were needed. They didn't mind using force to solve the problem. But the Magic Goddess stopped this behavior. There seemed to be some force here that made her feel afraid, at least she didn't want it to solve it through force.
So she looked at the high tree spirit in front of her and slowly said, "If we can help you solve these problems, can you let me enter the interior of the temple?"
question?
There is no doubt that it should refer to this eroded forest, right?
Sauron's expression was a little surprised because he didn't know how the Magic Goddess planned to solve the trouble in front of him. She was a Magic Goddess and not a God of Nature. The trees nearby were obviously special existences with life consciousness, and even they were eroded by some force. It was undoubtedly quite troublesome, and it seemed that this situation had existed for a long time. Some trees had been completely corrupted. If there was no force to suppress the place, these trees might have been corrupted into dead wood guards.
The expression of the higher tree spirit seemed a little hesitant.
She glanced at the midnight lady in front of her and hesitated: "Although you are very strong, this kind of problem is not something you can solve."
This semi-plane has existed for a long time.
Such a serious erosion should not be formed overnight. It is probably related to many factors, and the balance of the elemental pool is not right. Even Sauron does not think that the Magic Goddess can solve it.
"certainly."
Ms. Midnight nodded gently, saying that she really did not have the ability to solve these problems. Her priesthood did not include nature, and salvation was undoubtedly more difficult than destruction. But she turned her eyes to Soren and Ildis next to her, and whispered: "Since you are the priest serving Sivanas, the father of the oak tree, you should know that there is a ritual that can be used to awaken the divine powers left by Him and heal this forest, right?"
A ritual to heal the forest?
When Soren heard this, he was shocked all over, and then an idea popped up in his mind and murmured: "Can it be that ceremony?"
The believers of the Father of Oak have a large number of tree spirits.
As a companion of trees, many tree spirits once sought shelter from the father of the oak. In the church of the father of the oak, there are two sacred rituals that can be used to repair the natural environment and restore the gradually dead forest to life. There are many rituals in the church of the father of the oak, but the two most powerful and sacred among the many rituals are called [Tree Song] and [Tree Spirit Dance].
The former is an extremely grand sacrificial ritual.
A large number of believers need to chant the ancient hymns inside the church in unison to attract creatures in the forest to stop and listen. Judging from everything they see in front of you, there is no condition for a [tree song] ceremony here.
The latter is a pleasant ritual to restore the vitality of the forest. The believers need to use the sound of flutes and dance to summon the tree spirits to get out of the trees they contact, and then interact with humans and join forces.
This ceremony should have been mentioned earlier.
This ceremony does not cost much for the tree spirits, but it is a huge burden for those who have sex with them, and may even have to pay more.
"Dance of the Tree Spirit?"
Ms. Midnight's words seemed to remind the higher tree spirit in front of her. Her beautiful face showed a thoughtful expression and turned her eyes to Soren and Ildis in front of her. She was a tree spirit herself, and this ceremony should be the easiest to complete for her. She fell into deep thought and murmured: "If the [Dance of Tree Spirits] can be successfully held, it may be able to awaken the divine power left by the father of the Oak, so that it is really possible to purify the entire forest."
Speaking of this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
First, she turned her gaze to the handsome and handsome Ildis, after staring for a while, Kalena in front of her couldn't help but frown and murmured: "No. He is not strong enough, nor has enough strength, and I'm afraid he can't even support half of the ceremony."
Ildis is a little confused.
As the church of the Father of Oak gradually disappeared into the eyes of mortals, even wizards did not know much about the sacred rituals within their church.
He still doesn't know what others are saying.
The high-level tree spirit quickly turned her gaze to Soren next to her. In an instant, her eyes brightened, and her expression became bright, and her eyes were a little eager: "He can!"
"He is not only strong enough! He also has powerful strength!..."
"I can feel the glory of divinity!..."
"If he is willing to help us hold a sacred ceremony, he may be able to completely awaken the divine power left by the father of Oak, so that the entire foggy forest can be purified!"
Hearing the words of the higher tree spirit, the magic goddess immediately turned her begging eyes to Sauron next to her.
Ildis was originally the candidate she prepared.
If he doesn't do it, the Magic Goddess may only be able to improve Ildis's strength in some special ways, and then he will complete this sacred ritual.
Although this may cost her a lot of money, there is really something inside the temple of the Father of Oak that is very important to her!
Now.
Soren was able to complete this ceremony, which meant that she didn't have to pay too much, she just needed to find a way to compensate Soren as much as possible.
She is bound to win something in the temple!
Therefore, at this moment, the magic goddess looked at Sauron with a hint of prayer.
Chapter completed!
