He Ming had many imaginations about how the Morrowind Elf return ceremony would be held.
But moments before the ceremony, these imaginations were all wrong.
"You want me to choose a tree?!"
Lela Rey looked at the messenger assigned by the Heavenly Cavalry King in surprise.
This is an elf priestess wearing a white robe and a headband of thorns made of gold.
Her name is very long.
According to Andegrien, this is because he was given many names because he was responsible for certain important sacrificial tasks.
No matter what the reason was, the name, which was too long to be read in a short period of time in a language that humans can understand, was eventually shortened to a simple name.
"Kuisi."
Such a coincidental name gave He Ming some visions.
I couldn't help but take another look at this elf priestess, and my mind couldn't help but feel a little wandering.
"Fortunately, the other party is not with twin tails, and he has a calm temperament."
"Yes."
The elf priestess named Kuisi didn't know that He Ming was a little distracted because of her name, but she solemnly explained the following precautions to Layla Rey, who was the chosen one.
Earlier, a group of people led by Andergrin left Taixing and came to the "Forest of the World Tree" located in the core area of ​​the Morrowind Elf family's home star through an exclusive passage.
This is a mysterious forest related to the origin of the Morrowind elves.
According to legend, the first Morrowind Elf on the Star Sea was born in this mysterious forest.
Next to the place where it was born, a huge mysterious tree, the World Tree, also sent blessings to the Morrowind elves when they were born, granting the Morrowind elves the first ray of morning wind in the world.
From that moment on, the Morrowind elves were named after that wisp of morning wind.
Since then, as the Morrowind elves stepped into the star sea under the call of the prophet, after experiencing several catastrophes, the legends related to the Morrowind elves, especially the World Tree, have become more and more mysterious and mysterious.
The land is complex.
But in the eyes of the Morrowind elves, these so-called legends and secrets are just rumors spread by the outside world.
The only thing that can be recognized by the Morrowind elves is that the World Tree may be closely related to the towering tree rooted in the mysterious sea shown in a certain picture when the prophet issued a call to the many civilizations in the star sea.
It can be speculated from this that the World Tree, regarded as the origin by the Morrowind elves, is most likely a branch of the towering tree based on the mysterious sea.
certainly.
This is not conjecture.
But there are many cases that can provide proof.
Among these cases, the most obvious one is the "tree selection" that Layla Rey is participating in at this moment.
Every lost race that is found by the Star Sea Civilization or the Super Dimension Fortress, once it successfully completes the "Tree Selection" under the gaze of the World Tree, then this lost race can be regarded as a member of the Morrowind Elf Tribe.
One member.
In the past long years, many lost races have successfully completed the "tree selection", but there have also been many more lost races and impostor "lost races" that have failed.
For Xinghai, every time "tree selection" appears is a hot topic.
However, in this regard, the "tree selection" of the Jirel people is unusually low-key.
Except for Tai Xing, there is almost no hot topic about this "tree selection" in Star Sea.
"I have finished explaining the matters that need to be paid attention to! Your Excellency Lela Ley Lelu, do you understand?"
After the elf priestess finished explaining, she confirmed again.
"Yes! I understand! Thank you, Lord Priest, for your guidance!"
Leila Rey said respectfully after thanking Girel.
"This is my duty. You're welcome!" The elf priestess Kuisi nodded slightly and looked at Andegrien on the side.
"What is your name, Your Excellency?"
The latter nodded and asked He Ming.
"Laila Rey, come on! Don't put any burden on yourself! We are waiting for you here."
Following He Ming's statement, Myrenir and Misela, who were not qualified to choose the tree, stepped forward, hugged Leila Rey and encouraged them, and then retreated behind He Ming.
"Let's get started!"
Layla Rey gathered her mood and said seriously.
As her voice fell, the door to the "Chosen Tree" slowly opened.
At that moment, everyone saw a corner of the space where the "Selection Tree" was located.
Behind the door, there is a huge white circular platform.
Then, there are countless straight or winding paths connecting many circular platforms of different sizes, extending to the huge white circular platform behind the door.
What caught everyone's attention was that among the platforms of different sizes, there were trees of different heights, either lush or sparse.
"Those are the trees owned by various races after completing the "Tree Selection". They are all descendants of the World Tree."
As Andergrin's voice sounded slowly, he also noticed that everyone seemed to be paying more attention to the trees with sparse branches.
He smiled slightly and said.
"Don't worry. Those trees will not die. Once the "Choose a Tree" is completed, these trees will not wither unless the World Tree withers. Of course, there is another possibility. That is to complete the "Choose a Tree"
"The entire race of the people has withered away."
"So, after completing the "tree selection", the fate of the race will be bound to the tree?"
He Ming asked curiously.
"No, it won't. But the prosperity of the race will be reflected on the tree."
Andegrien pointed to the trees with lush leaves.
"Those are the trees selected by races that have spent a relatively long time after completing the "tree selection". Judging from official reports and the lushness of the trees, these races have escaped the fate of extinction and are thriving again.
stand up."
He Ming and Leila Lei looked at each other, and the latter took the first step with firm eyes and began the "tree selection" ceremony.
The next second he stepped in, the door slowly closed, completely isolating He Ming and others from Layla Rey.
"The length of time it takes to choose a tree depends on whether the participant can connect with the tree in a short period of time. So, how about we go to the rest room next to us to take a break now?"
Andergrin politely made a suggestion.
He Ming exchanged glances with his companions and nodded.
"That's fine! Waiting is not an option. Thank you, Your Highness."
"You're welcome!"
But just as everyone took steps forward, there was movement from the closed door.
Amidst the rumbling sound, Elf Priestess Kuisi's face was instantly filled with shock.
"This, this is...the World Tree?!"
Amidst the roar, behind the opened door, a big tree with a huge crown quietly appeared behind the door.
At this moment, everyone had the feeling that "they are being watched."
Chapter completed!
