Chapter 3 The Sacred Spring of Life
Ainsell is an ancient wood elf, a member of the “Burning Stars” Branstar family. Previously, Verafia’s old friend, Rafnos, served as her older sister, assisting the Saint Elf Queen in the entire Elf Sky City, a position that was clearly not low.
Logically, as an ancient wood elf, who could be considered a noble, and born into an ancient and grand elf family, Ainsell, who was doted on like a little princess, should have known many secrets of the elf world.
However, Ainsell was not very old. She had only been born from the ancient wood of the elves for a little over ten years. Since her birth, the entire elf world had already fallen into the tide of the Black Moon.
Furthermore, according to the elf maiden’s own words, the old guys in her family wanted to spoil her into a naive and sweet young lady, afraid that she would know any secrets, so they didn’t tell her anything.
Moreover, although Ainsell had secretly run away from home to see her sister, she was chased by dark elves soon after escaping. Because of “Niya,” she came to the human world.
Ainsell only had a vague understanding of some of the true reasons for the “Black Moon Tide,” and she was not much better than Ig.
However, on the contrary, Irene, who was a Silver Moon Elf…
Ig shifted his gaze to the Silver Moon Elf, who was slightly lowering her silver pupils.
In the tide of the Dark Moon, many elves degenerated into Dark Moon Elves… Just from their names, one could imagine that this was almost a rebellion of the Silver Moon Elven against the Sky City above the Sacred Tree. Moreover, the time when Irene was rescued almost completely coincided with the time of the elf great封印 (Great Seal).
Coupled with Irene’s reason for wanting to return to her homeland, which she confided to Shiel, Ig naturally did not believe for a moment that she had nothing to do with the tide of the Dark Moon.
As Ig was thinking to himself, Irene’s hair slid down her face, and she raised her silver eyes: “Ig, in the past, my surname was called ‘Morning Moon’.”
Not only was Ainsell enlightened, but even the Dwarf King, resting his chin on his hand, grinned and smiled, “So it’s the little girl from that family… No wonder she ran away to this place. However, that old immortal is not to be trifled with now…”
The Dwarf King’s words were quite obscure, but Ig could still guess the general content.
After a slight thought, Ig raised his pupils: “Elder Mu De, in that case, do you know about the elf world now…”
“Hmph, back then, the Elf King sacrificed himself to completely seal the entire Elf Forest. However, at the request of the Sky City, a secret realm connected to the Mountain Royal City was opened, and it was maintained by my power.”
The Dwarf King said with an uncertain expression, “At least for the Sky City, this is the only passage for the elves to connect with the outside world. However, a year ago, this king was ambushed by that bastard Fatter… A year is enough time for many things to happen.”
Ig also frowned.
“However, since I have awakened again, it will not be difficult to reopen that passage… Whether it is Fatter or some other guy who interferes with me like this, of course, I cannot let these bastards have their way.”
The Dwarf King suddenly looked at the black-haired young man below the throne: “By the way, kid Ig, you came here wanting to go to the Elf Forest to borrow the Sacred Spring of Life from the Sacred Tree?”
“Yes, Elder Mu De, that is something very important to me.”
Ig replied.
During the burning flames of last year, on the frozen plains, Ig used the flame fragments returned by Herafir to reborn Verafia through his Creation Divine Spark… However, what appeared was a phoenix egg.
As a legendary phoenix born from a divine spark, even incubating it required unimaginable energy, and even Kasleite, who had already merged with the law of ice and was the goddess of ice, could not afford it.
In addition, Verafia’s phoenix egg was itself born from a creation divine spark and contained the spring water of the law of life, which was naturally the best choice.
So, upon receiving Ainsell’s suggestion, Ig did not hesitate much, and after a simple discussion with Ophi, he embarked on the journey to the Elf Forest again.
“The Sacred Spring of Life of the elves is, in legends, the manifestation of their goddess’s power and the origin of the Sacred Tree.”
“In the eyes of the elves, the Sacred Spring beneath the Ancient Tree of Life is a sacred place, comparable to the Golden Tree that supports the sky… However, since the little princess of the Branstar family is by your side, it is not impossible to borrow it.”
The Dwarf King said, “In recent years, the Sky City has gifted me quite a bit of Sacred Spring of Life. If you truly need it, Ig, I can transfer them to you.”
As his voice fell, the Dwarf King waved his hand, and a dark silver ancient spatial ring landed in his hand. Ig’s spiritual power quickly scanned it, and surprise appeared on his face.
Even before the elf world was sealed, the spring water from the Ancient Tree of Life, which contained the law of life, was incredibly precious, far more valuable than gold of equal weight. At that time, a handful of Sacred Spring of Life could be exchanged for a noble’s territory.
And what the Dwarf King gave him was more than just a handful, it was almost a small spring eye…
One must know that the spring water of the Sacred Spring of Life originated from the laws and the origin of life within the ancient tree. According to Ig’s guess, the entire spring water that the Sacred Spring could produce in a whole year might not be comparable to what the Dwarf King gave him.
King Mu De’s gift was more than priceless… Ig vaguely guessed that these were the elves’ thanks to him for his help over the past decade.
However, at this moment, Mu De gifted it all to him.
Perhaps, it would be enough to bear the energy required for Verafia to hatch.
“No need to thank me, this is considered your reward… If it weren’t for you, those magic maniacs might have succeeded in their conspiracy, let alone standing here talking to you.”
“Besides, this spring water that this king keeps is only for making tea or bathing, and it’s not of much use, so it’s better to give it to you.”
Looking at the excited gaze of the young man, Mu De smiled heartily. He stood up from his throne and gestured to stop Ig from trying to bow and thank him.
However, the Dwarf King’s gaze fell on Ig again.
“By the way, I just heard that ice dragon girl say that Ig, you want to borrow the Sacred Spring of Life because of that guy Lothel?”
Ig was startled and suddenly raised his eyes. Ophi, who was drinking tea in the corner, shrunk her little head. The slender eyelashes on her frost-blue eyes fluttered, and she stuck out her small, fragrant tongue, looking very innocent.
Mu De stroked his beard with his palm and said thoughtfully, “Could it be that Lothel is not dead? Or, are you planning to borrow that spring to revive him?”
“This, ha ha ha…”
Ig was momentarily speechless. He lightly touched the shell of the phoenix egg in his arms, raised his head, and pretended not to know anything, laughing heartily.
Lord Lothel is, of course, not dead…
However, Ig couldn’t say that Lord Lothel was now a proud and cute beautiful girl, and she had turned into an egg!
