Chapter 684 Question: When Mario came to Ardenweald, why was he tied to the stake?
"There is a very, very powerful Dream Tree planted in every woodland of Ardenweald, and each Dream Tree has its own name. Those big trees are very old, big enough to be the grandfather of us fairies.
Every grandpa tree was originally a seed planted by the Queen herself. They absorbed the power of the heart and grew, eventually becoming the super powerful "Tirna Scithe"!
Every Dream Tree is the core of those Tirna Scithes, and it is their children and roots that grow and spread to form Tirna Scithes everywhere.
It is said that we Night Fae fairies are the beautiful butterflies that lived among the first batch of Tirna Scithe when they were born, and were given our current form and wisdom by the Queen."
On the way to find Forest Spirit who took away his pet "Mao Mao", the Night Fae fairy named "Willow Wisp" is like a butterfly Also floating next to the shoulders of Diakum, "Giant of Light", she enthusiastically introduced the basic situation of Ardenweald to Vigilant.
She thought it was polite, even though she hadn't seen many outsiders.
Ardenweald is the most conservative area of Shadowlands. People from other countries rarely come here. Except for those powerful goblins who are appointed as "diplomats" by the queen and often travel to Oribos, the Eternal City to discuss some matters with diplomats from other covenants, most other goblins will only move in the forest of Ardenweald throughout their lives.
Of course, being conservative doesn't mean they're closed.
If you really think that goblins are stupid and easy to deceive, then you are almost destined to become Ardenweald's "flower fertilizer" the moment you start to think wrongly.
These goblins can live for a long, long time. Although their lifespans are also at an end, the goblins bear various responsibilities for Winter Queen. In addition, all the Spirit of Lifes in the entire star sea will come here, which makes the goblins' knowledge actually terrifyingly powerful.
Although they have never been to Material World, through the descriptions of Eternal Spirit from various worlds, the fairies also know many legends of Material World, and they can even be called "well-informed", although they actually don't quite understand what the things in the stories they know mean.
But that doesn't stop the goblins from knowing
Moreover, these little guys are naturally chatty and chatter endlessly, but the voices of the goblins are very nice, so it is not annoying to hear them making noise, at least Dick, who has a strong mental state, does not find it annoying.
For example, as Willow Wisp talked, he used the "jumping thinking" unique to fairies to bring the topic to Forest Spirit.
She said angrily:
"These nasty little guys are doing trouble in our garden all day long. They are so courageous that they dare to steal anything and do any bad thing.
Last month, Forest Spirit stole Archon Elios's most beloved treasure!
Those guys who didn't know how to cherish other people's treasures deliberately scattered the most precious flower of the sect master everywhere. It was the last memory Archon Elios brought from his destroyed hometown.
They successfully angered the always good-tempered Alyssia, causing the explosive bear's roar to resound throughout the forest.
It's scary."
Willow Wisp even covered her pointed ears when she said this. She was a little scared and said to Diakum who was listening to the local "customs and customs":
"I was timid and didn't dare to look, but I heard from the excited Moonberry that the angry sect leader destroyed all the Forest Spirit nests near Val Grove.
So those damn guys escaped from Shimmering Basin and came to Dreamsong Marsh. It must have been at that time that they took advantage of the chaos and captured Mao Mao. Mao Mao usually likes to catch bugs in Shimmering Basin.
Oh, poor little guy, he must be frightened."
Out of concern for his pet, the angry but helpless Willow Wisp waved his fist and said to Diakum:
"We really should let the legendary and powerful "Light Butcher" come here to teach those Forest Spirits a lesson and let them learn how to abide by the rules set by the queen."
"Oh?"
Dick, who was looking around and observing the environment, blinked and said:
"You also know "Light Butcher"? Where did you hear it?"
"Some spiritual species who came to Ardenweald in recent years said that the queen's garden has withered and they cannot be resurrected now. They can only soak in the pool near Heart of the Forest and like to chat with us when they have nothing to do.
Probably because goblins are the most chatty people in the woodland."
Willow Wisp tilted his head and said:
"Everyone else has their own work. The Sylvar have to forge and plant, the fairy wood spirits have to spin and weave, the ferocious Vokai have to patrol the forest and train every day. Only the goblins who have to take care of the spiritual seeds are idle every day.
We love chatting, and it's fun to listen to those spiritual species bragging.
When they first came, each claimed that they were the most powerful eternal spirits in their respective worlds. However, as time passed, they learned that they could always find eternal spirits more powerful than themselves in Ardenweald.
Our place is the "Wild God's Beautiful Home" in the world."
This talkative fairy proudly put her hands on her hips, letting her wings flutter and scatter shimmering dust. She looked at Diakum up and down, and said carelessly:
"You are also Holy Light Walker. I guess you must know the story of Light Butcher. Among the stories told by the spiritual species, Light Butcher is very powerful. He can kill thousands of demons by himself."
"Tens of thousands!"
Diakum corrected very seriously:
"In every battle, Light Butcher has to kill tens of thousands of demons to warm up, then kill tens of thousands more demons to boost morale, and finally kill tens of thousands more demons to complete the victory!
Other Paladin even feel guilty when they kill too many demons. They feel that they are cruel and ruthless. However, Light Butcher does not feel this way! The number of demons he kills in every battle is comparable to the number of demons that it took hundreds of years to defeat and banish in other worlds.
Every demon that dies in his hands cannot be resurrected, so the demons are simply afraid of him."
"Ah, yes, yes! Those spiritual seeds said the same thing!"
Willow Wisp clapped her hands happily and said:
"But they blow more powerfully, much more powerfully than you. Light Butcher can kill thousands of demons with just one glance. Every time Light Butcher goes to a world, the demons there will be so scared that they commit suicide to escape the fate of being purified.
Each of those spiritual species claimed that they fought side by side with Light Butcher, and some of them who were eloquent even boasted that they fought side by side with Light Butcher, killing countless demons, etc.
But actually
I know they're all bragging."
Willow Wisp squeezed his eyes, lay on Diakum's broad shoulders, and whispered to him:
"If they really met Light Butcher, they would not be killed by the demon and come to Ardenweald. Alas, I know that they are actually using this method to downplay their guilt.
I heard Archon Elios say to me before that fighting against demons in Material World is very scary. The powerful lord was the most powerful being in Ardenweald besides the queen, but she and her world also died in Burning Crusade.
She told me that no one can save the world by himself.
The same goes for those spiritual species.
They are just dreaming.
If Light Butcher had been around when the demons killed them and destroyed their world, maybe their world would not have been destroyed.
Most of them have never even seen Light Butcher, they also heard the story in the sea of stars.
But you said, does Light Butcher really exist?"
The Night Fae fairy lay on Diakum's shoulder, supported her chin with her hand, and said sadly:
"Maybe he doesn't exist, maybe it's just a "god" imagined by those poor people bullied by demons to protect themselves. In fact, there is no Light Butcher in Xinghai."
"Oh? Why do you think so?"
Dick was not angry at the speculation of this goblin who "denied his divinity". He just asked curiously:
"You've never been to Material World, how do you know Light Butcher is fake?"
"Because the number of spiritual species coming to Ardenweald has not decreased."
Willow Wisp clasped his fingers and said to Diakum:
"We count the newly arrived spiritual species every thousand years, but the statistical results of the last thousand years unfortunately show that even though the legend of Light Butcher began to spread more than 20,000 years ago to the present, the number of spiritual species that came to Ardenweald every thousand years is still hovering around that number.
This means that the demons are destroying Material World's life at a steady rate
You see, no matter how far Light Butcher's reputation spreads, he actually doesn't affect the speed at which demons destroy the world, right?
Therefore, if he who is promoted as a "god" cannot save so many worlds from demons, then wouldn't it be an illusion that so many people are looking forward to when he appears?
But if he is really one-tenth as powerful as the legend says, then he shouldn't have performed so poorly. Even if he likes to be lazy like Pianpian, he has saved many worlds for more than 20,000 years, right?
However, no."
Willow Wisp held his chin with one hand, waving a finger and said:
"I asked those spiritual species which world Light Butcher had saved and asked them to tell me the name, but none of them could tell me. Therefore, the goblins think Light Butcher does not exist!
That is just a god who is expected by all living beings but does not exist. Why do you look so regretful? You are almost crying. Did the goblin say something wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just think you are right!"
Diakum grinned, stretched out his finger and tapped on the goblin's head, and said:
"Yes, Light Butcher is just a made-up legend and myth. He thought he saved many people, but in fact, he saved only a handful of worlds, and he didn't even save his own hometown.
What is the ending of the story?
This is where it really begins!
For the cry of all those in the world who prayed for Holy Light when the devil came, but got no response, Light Butcher should embark on this journey that will never end with more humility.
Ah, we found those Forest Spirit, look! They are hanging the "Mao Mao worm" on the tree and beating it for fun.
Gee, I know why you called it "Mao Mao".
Keep bugs as pets?"
Dick flicked his tongue, gave a thumbs up to Willow Wisp who was holding the fairy fire, and said:
"Like me, you are really classy! But I am very curious. You are obviously capable of killing these Forest Spirit. Their ridiculous tricks are not a problem at all for you who are better at using charm and illusion.
I heard that powerful fairies often fight in groups with the weak Forest Spirit in Ardenweald, and occasionally they are even beaten away by Forest Spirit?"
"Can't kill them! Although they are indeed hateful."
Willow Wisp sighed and said:
"But Forest Spirit is also a member of Ardenweald. When the queen created Ardenweald, each ethnic group had its own responsibilities in the forest. Although Forest Spirit are naughty, they are also responsible for defeating those accumulated nightmares in "The Other Side".
They are noisy all day long, and their personalities that don't know what to worry about are best suited for this."
"The Other Side?"
Diakum blinked and said:
"I've never heard of this place."
"Of course you don't know. Even many locals don't know that Ardenweald has a place called "The Other Side"."
Willow Wisp felt that this lost stranger was very friendly, and this big guy exuded an aura that made her feel very comfortable, so she revealed a secret that only the higher-ups in the forest knew.
She said:
"When the spiritual species come to Ardenweald, they will also bring their nightmares before their death, but the queen's woodland cannot be invaded by those nightmares, so the Other Side has become a place to preserve those cruel and painful memories.
Only by holding the Dreamcatcher made by fairies can you enter the Other Side, but don't even think about going there, it is very dangerous, and the fairies will not make Dreamcatcher for anyone other than friends."
"Well, I probably know where the stolen spiritual seeds are hidden."
Diakum narrowed his eyes, showed a gentle smile to Willow Wisp, caught the eager goblin back, and placed her on the stone at the entrance of the valley full of Forest Spirit.
says:
"There are at least several thousand Forest Spirit in here. If you add up, even the weakest of them can hurt a goblin with weak combat power. Just stay here, I will bring your pet back, and then you take me to Heart of the Forest."
Diakum held Cross War Hammer on her back. The moment she lifted Sunstrider Warhammer, in Willow Wisp's surprised gaze, she saw the war hammer in the hands of this gentle big man igniting bright light like a torch.
The light even made the goblin's big eyes feel a little burning.
"Let me tell you a secret, my goblin friend."
Diakum grinned in the light, letting Holy Light surge into a set of "Faith Judgment" War Armor for himself. He winked at Willow Wisp and said:
"Light Butcher is real, and those spiritual species didn't lie. He did defeat thousands of demons in every battle. Of course, thousands of Forest Spirit will do just fine."
As Holy Light turned into Charge's knights of light like a waterfall, they poured into Forest Spirit's valley. When Diakum was holding a war hammer to kill those troublemakers, Willow Wisp was still scratching his head and thinking about a very important question.
So, has this big guy seen Light Butcher with his own eyes?
Judging from his tone, he must be good friends with the powerful Light Butcher! Then rounding things off, he and Light Butcher are also good friends.
Wow, fairies are so powerful!
The goblin and Sun God are friends.
"A dangerous presence has set foot on Ardenweald He is playing house with a silly goblin, but he will not always be friendly. My queen, he comes for you."
A low and mysterious voice, like a wise old man, sounded in Winter Queen's lightless Heart of the Forest palace, with a hint of nervousness.
The voice said:
"I have notified Wild Hunt!
But I guess even the bravest Warriors under your command can't stop the legendary man. The most important thing is that through the "eyes" I left on the place where he walked, he saw some things that the goblins couldn't see.
that man
He was shrouded in moonlight.
Queen, your sister has come to see you.
That person from Legend of the Star Sea is just her messenger. Alas, he is indeed White Lady. Even to choose a messenger, you have to find someone who is so powerful in the world."
Having said this, the voice was silent for a moment, and then whispered helplessly:
"Ever since you founded Ardenweald from scratch, I have been persuading you that family relationships should be maintained, and relatives should not be so hasty and embarrassed.
Look, after so many years of no contact, your sister sent a Lesser God to smash the windows of your house since she never received the letter.
Look what happened."
"Shut up! Marasmius, you are much noisier than the last time we met."
A voice as cold as winter sounded in the darkness.
On the throne of the forest, the gorgeously dressed Winter Queen said calmly:
"This is not her domain, and I have nothing to say to her. Her messenger is just as annoying as she is. It's not me who makes the mistake in this relationship!"
Withdraw Wild Hunt, don't let the warriors of the woodland risk my private affairs.
Clear Heart of the Forest, I want to have a good talk with the unreasonable messenger here. If he has life, then he will go through a cold winter."
"Okay, Queen, I will go and deliver the order right now."
The mysterious voice replied, and then, under the Queen's gaze, a purple super-large mushroom cricket pupated its body and disappeared into the Queen's palace, leaving only a beautiful mushroom ring.
Well, this guy is a mushroom.
Probably the oldest and most powerful old mushroom in the entire world, he is basically equivalent to the first creation of Winter Queen. He is currently the "Intelligence Manager" under the Queen and one of her few friends.
As for why Winter Queen made a mushroom when he first tried to create something
Uh.
What?
Isn't the Creator allowed to have an "internship period"?
PS:
Marasmius is as follows:
