Chapter 1134 56. The Ancient Tree of Wisdom
“Where did you search?”
“Aldo Forest Battlefield, the Lost Well, the Old Land...”
“What’s going on? What..." Annan frowned deeply: "You take it too much for granted."
"Take it for granted?"
"I said, the murderer is a human, so we have to start from a human perspective. Do humans know the names of the places you mentioned?"
Kael'thas was thoughtful.
"The Land of Dispute... must be known to humans, and there is a place of dispute."
"The Ancient Tree of Wisdom." Kael'thas spit out an Elvish language.
“What is that?”
"In the war a thousand years ago, the Kingdom of Paem gave the royal court an ancient tree of wisdom. After the ancient tree of wisdom was sent to Evanus, Lord Emerald discovered that the will of the ancient tree of wisdom had been tampered with, and treated it as before, frustrating it. The conspiracy of the Paem Kingdom."
"Then the Paem Kingdom asked for the Ancient Tree of Wisdom, but was rejected by the Council of Elders."
"It should be it... let's go quickly!" br>
Annan forgot to look at the horizon. It was still early and there was still some time before dusk.
“Stop!”
The elf elder who had always been silent suddenly said: "Human beings are not worthy of trust."
"I have told you the clues."
The elf elder lowered his wrinkled eyelids: "How can I Do you know that you are not another trap that leads us to death?”
The surrounding elves obviously trust the elders more than Annan. There was a hint of hostility in Annan's eyes, but Kael'thas was hesitant to speak.
Annan did not fall into the logical trap of the elf elders. He just said word for word: "You can continue to be arrogant, but the price is the lives of other elves. The more you go against me for the so-called pride of elves, the more The elf died at the hands of the attackers!”
"Remember, they died because of you..."
The elf elder was silent for a moment: "Can you be responsible?"
"If you can be responsible, I can."
< br>Annan and the elf elders were at war with each other, and Kael'thas stood up and said: "Lord Thran, we can't afford to bet..."
The elf elders relented: "But if there is nothing there... I It will be reported to the Presbytery.”
"If there is something there, I will also tell Tedder how pedantic and ignorant you are." Annan shot back.
Faced with the only clue at present, the elves quickly turned around and rushed to the area where the ancient tree of wisdom was located.
……
The ancient tree of wisdom stands quietly in the heart of the green city.
Compared with its 100-meter-tall body, the most eye-catching thing is the weathered and kind face revealed by its thick trunk covered with deep wrinkles.
The arrival of everyone made it sway its dense branches and leaves.
"It's alive?" Annan said in surprise.
“The Ancient Tree of Wisdom is equivalent to your human’s mage tower, and it was given to us by your humans.”
The Kingdom of Paem thought very well. Let the Ancient Tree of Wisdom penetrate into the Elf King's Court. If it succeeds, it will be a legendary epic in human history. It is a pity that it failed.
"Children, your expressions tell me that you are very anxious..." A gentle smile appeared on the face of the ancient tree of wisdom.
"Lord Gushu, we are tracking the attack case here. There are clues pointing to you as the target of the next attack." Kael'thas said loudly: "Have you found any suspicious people?"
"No. ..."
The elf elder looked at Annan and was about to speak, but Annan said first: "Magic scrolls are usually buried in the ground? Just check it around and you will know."
The ancient tree of wisdom did not stop it. The elves were digging around the roots of the trees, just looking at them with indulgence and curiosity... It didn't take long before the first exclamation sounded.
“There is a magic scroll here!”
The elf elder was stunned, and Annan breathed a sigh of relief. A bunch of dangerous magic scrolls that have not yet been activated are hidden among the knotted roots of the ancient tree of wisdom. It can be expected that when the magic scroll breaks out, the ancient tree of wisdom will suffer heavy damage.
When the elves were feeling lucky to have survived the disaster, outside the alert area, an elf figure stood on the top of the tree overlooking the ancient tree of wisdom.
"What a pity...I thought we wouldn't be enemies..."
He looked at Annan's figure and said softly. Instinctively press the truncated scepter handle that activates the magic scroll.
"So...can we narrow the scope to the Kingdom of Paem?"
Annan's words stopped his movements.
“Why do you say that?” The elf elder’s eyes suddenly became sharp.
“Who could bury so many magic scrolls next to the roots of the Ancient Tree of Wisdom without even noticing it? If the murderer is a human, except that he comes from the Kingdom of Paem and knows about the Ancient Tree of Wisdom shortcomings, I can't think of any other reason."
"It's so interesting..."
The elf figure on the treetop let go of his hand.
"Are you doing it for your allies or for her..."
"Kael'thas, lead people to control Prince Aidan!" The elf elder immediately ordered.
“Wait!”
Annan stopped him: “It has nothing to do with Prince Aidan.”
"How do you know?"
In view of the clues discovered by Annan, the elf elder moderated his arrogance appropriately.
"He has been with me all the time and has no time to do this kind of thing." Annan suddenly paused, "And if you do this, it will be easy to alert the snake... Leave Prince Aidan to me."
It concerns Yi Ruilanze’s safety, and Annan doesn’t want to gamble.
“Can you find the source of production with the magic scroll?” he asked.
"Can you find which tree it comes from using a fallen leaf?" the elf elder asked.
"Well, I think highly of you." Annan countered, "Look again, there should be a notice here."
The searching elves did not find the notice, but instead found Got the second magic scroll.
How many magic scrolls did the murderer bury?
Annan looked up at the Ancient Tree of Wisdom. It seemed that he really wanted to destroy the Ancient Tree of Wisdom...
"Found it!"
At a certain moment, an elf shouted.
Annan thought he had found the third magic scroll until they ran up carrying a stone tablet.
"The shadow of death hangs over the crown of the past..." Annan read out the Elvish language above, "What is the crown of the past?"
"It is talking about the moon well... ?”
"What is that?" Annan asked.
"The birthplace of the elves..." The elf elder spoke before Kael'thas, recounting the past of the elves with nostalgia and memories.
In the early years of the Elven Calendar, the core of the elves were not high elves, but moon elves. The clan land is not the World Tree, but the Moon Well. Later, a change occurred, the moon well dried up, and the moon god lost his power. The elves found a new totem thousands of years ago. The world tree and the god of elves, the moon elves, lost their original status and were replaced by high elves.
This is the first time Annan has heard these inside stories.
"Don't blame Lord Thran, three of his children died at the hands of humans." Kael'thas suddenly whispered in Annan's ear.
"No wonder..."
Decades of prejudice and stubbornness can prevent nobles from treating the poor as human beings. How about hundreds of years?
Hate will never fade away, it will only become more unforgettable as time goes by.
