Chapter 998 The Excited Old Patriarch
At the end of last year, the wood elf mages headed by John, including Locke, who was now a royal mage, had withdrawn from the front line.
After all, their current identities are still members of Zhou Xu's personal regiment. After the war is completely over, there is no reason to stay on the front line for a long time.
John and the others went directly back to the palace in Black Moon City without going to the New South District...
After a night's rest, Locke took the initiative to find Zhou Xu.
"Subordinate Locke, please see Your Majesty."
It has been some time since he officially joined the Great Zhou Dynasty. Locke is undoubtedly already familiar with this set of procedures.
After a simple salute, Locke directly stated his purpose.
"Your Majesty, it has been a while since I came out this time. I don't know what the situation is in the village now. I hope your Majesty will approve and let me go back to the village."
Unlike John and the others, Locke has another identity, that is, the leader of the wood elves.
Under this premise, it was naturally impossible for Locke to leave their village alone and stay at the palace.
On the way back, he was worried a lot. Now, he wished he could just put on his wings and fly back.
“Of course there is no problem.”
Looking at Locke who was eager to return home, Zhou Xu agreed directly without even thinking about it.
“As for the Guards, you just need to put your name on it. If you want to stay in the village, it doesn’t matter. After the waterway is opened, you can basically reach your village directly by taking a boat from the Black Moon City port. Yes, the transportation is very convenient. If you need anything later, you can just leave.”
He is so tolerant to Locke not only because Locke is one of the three extraordinary mages in their great Zhou Dynasty, but also because after understanding him, Zhou Xu no longer has high expectations for Locke's future.
To be honest, Locke has already entered the old age. In a few years, he may have symptoms similar to Alzheimer's disease like the elder of the prairie elf.
With this as a premise, Zhou Xu and the others have already had some internal discussions. At this age, it is difficult for Locke to improve his strength.
Let alone entering the Saint Realm, according to Locke's current situation, it is no longer realistic to cultivate to the peak of the Transcendent Realm. Locke himself knows this very well.
It is the same for any living thing. As he continues to approach the end of his life, his energy will continue to decline with his remaining lifespan. Even the mage is no exception.
Locke has not reached that point yet, but it is unlikely that he will improve again. Even as the years go by, his strength will decline in the future. All this is inevitable.
After Zhou Xu readily agreed, Locke, who was eager to return home, immediately wanted to resign.
I never thought that at this moment, Zhou Xu’s voice sounded again.
"Oh, by the way, there is a lake island on Qingshui Lake deep in the mountain forest. We discovered a large number of life spirit trees..."
"Life spirit trees? You said you discovered life Spirit tree? ”
At that moment, with completely uncontrollable excitement, Locke's voice suddenly rose several decibels, and his entire face turned red at this moment.
Due to being so excited, he even forgot the etiquette, but Zhou Xu was not surprised by this and just smiled and nodded.
“Yes, I have ordered people to surround the mountain, and now it has been directly converted into a breeding ground for the Life Spirit Tree. Next, I am going to collect a certain amount of materials to provide for my army. The mages here are making staffs..."
"Please leave this matter to me!"
If Locke was only thinking about returning to the village just a moment ago, So now, all the things in his mind have become the tree of life. Compared with the Life Spirit Tree, returning to the village suddenly became less important.
In response, Zhou Xu smiled slightly.
“Of course.”
The method of making the Life Staff is also recorded at the back of the ancient scroll that originally recorded the cultivation methods of the wood elf mage.
However, in the production process, a special mantra method of the wood elves needs to be used. This mantra method is contained in the blood of the wood elves.
In other words, other races really cannot make this life staff.
This is also the biggest reason why Zhou Xu raised this matter at this point in time.
“I will send an elf knight to take you there.”
Although the life staff is important, the matter itself does not require Zhou Xu to make this trip himself. Send an elf who knows the route clearly. The knight leads the way and that's it.
The group of people moved quickly. They took a boat at the Black Moon City port and headed straight for Qingshui Mountain.
This journey has undoubtedly been easy, but for Locke, his nightmare has just begun.
In the complex and densely forested mountains, there are no conditions for a hot air balloon to land, so they can only climb up with their legs.
Not to mention that he has entered old age, even in his prime, for Locke, a wood elf mage, he did not have a strong body.
After less than ten minutes of climbing the mountain, Locke was already breathing heavily.
Seeing this, the accompanying elf knight couldn't help but put forward his own suggestions again.
"Chief Locke, I think you should give up. This mountain road becomes more and more difficult as you go further back. People will be sent to collect the materials for the Life Spirit Tree later. There is no need for you to go into this deep mountain forest."
Obviously, this is not the first time he has said this.
The Elf Knight originally thought that after experiencing the severe beating on this mountain road, Chief Locke would be able to come to a complete enlightenment and turn around.
But the result was not what he expected. The character of the old wood elf clan leader was even more stubborn than he expected.
“No! I must see the tree of life with my own eyes!!”
Locke's face was full of excitement when he said this, and he also had a strong persistence.
Before setting off, Zhou Xu had told him that due to the special environment of the mountain forest, it would be very difficult to transplant the Life Spirit Tree.
At the same time, even if they can be transplanted, there is no guarantee that changing the environment will affect the growth of the life spirit trees. Therefore, these life spirit trees have basically been determined to be maintained in the mountains and will not be transplanted. .
In other words, if he does not enter the mountain, he will never be able to truly see the Spiritual Tree of Life in his life.
They didn’t have the Life Spirit Tree before, so he naturally had no idea.
Now that we have it, you tell him not to look at it?
Then he may not die in peace!
With this thought in mind, Locke has already made up his mind, even if he climbs the mountain and dies! Before he died, he must also see with his own eyes the tree of life that he had longed for! Even if he dies, he will die under the spiritual tree of life!
