Chapter 312: Saving the Ancient Tree of Life

Lorne did not want to see these beautiful elves become Dark Elves who only knew how to kill, so he asked, “There should be a way to expel this dark power, right?”

“Is it possible to expel the dark power?” Elwyn muttered to herself as rich black energy spread from her body.

Her eyes were extremely scarlet, and her fingers could not help but dry up like dried corpses that had been completely weathered.

“Mother!” Aisha ran up and quickly transferred her energy.

However, she was rejected.

“It’s okay, Aisha. This dark energy can’t threaten my life for the time being, but you have to remember that if you want to lead the race in the future, you cannot let any elf touch this evil energy again. Otherwise, you will also completely fall to the dark side.”

Elwyn was not too emotional. Even death was an understatement to her.

Regardless, she still wanted to place her hopes on Lorne.

With that in mind, she looked at Lorne and said, “Adventurer, now that more than two hundred of the Night Elves have been corroded by the power of darkness, these people are not qualified to accept your invitation. However, the remaining hundred or so young Night Elves have not been infected. Therefore, I promise you on their behalf that these hundred or so people will all join the Cold Desolate Dragon City. I hope you can bring them to the path of light.”

Ding!

“Game Announcement: The leader of the Night Elves, Elwyn, has sent you a request: Save the Night Elves!”

“Mission Description: As an abandoned race, the Night Elves are facing a life and death situation. Leader Elwyn, who cannot see hope, has decided to let the remaining Night Elves join the Cold Desolate Dragon City and seek protection!”

“Mission Requirement: Protect their safety and maintain their dignity. You will receive the approval of all the Night Elves.”

A system notification appeared.

Looking at the reluctant mother and daughter in front of him, Lorne made a decision. He first accepted this mission, then looked at Elwyn and said seriously, “If there’s a way to expel the dark power, perhaps I can give it a try. As for the Night Elves, I want all of you to survive. Cold Desolate Dragon City lacks strength, and you are assassins that I value.”

“Adventurer…” Elwyn stared blankly at Lorne for a while, then said, “In that case, I’ll leave it to you. Originally, this mission had a very high requirement, but we don’t have time to wait anymore. Moreover, I completely trust you, Mr. Tyrant. You can definitely complete this mission.”

“In fact, we elves can rely on ourselves to drive out the dark energy, because we are elemental bodies and have a very high resistance to dark power. However, because we have tacitly approved or even borrowed the power of darkness, this power has already taken root in our bodies. Just our own strength is no longer enough to drive it out.”

“However, we still have the Ancient Tree of Life. It has the purest life essence. As long as we have the help of this energy, we can expel the corrosion on our bodies and recover our pure elemental bodies.”

“However, our Ancient Tree of Life has already begun to wither because it has been transporting too much energy and the Water of Life that it has been watered with is insufficient. It can no longer treat any elf unless you can bring the Water of Life and the Soil of Life to quickly recover the tree’s vitality.” Elwyn explained seriously to Lorne.

Ding!

“Would you like to accept the hidden mission: [Save the Ancient Tree of Life]?”

Another mission appeared.

Without thinking, Lorne agreed.

Even if it was for Aisha, he had to complete this mission, because the quest for the second chapter of the ‘Holy Angel’s Resurrection’ was to rely on the Ancient Tree of Life to help Aisha obtain a complete Elemental Body.

Perhaps because of Lorne’s synthesis or other factors, the current Aisha did not have a complete elemental body. Such a body definitely did not meet the requirements of the Holy Angel Gabriel, which was why such a mission appeared.

“Thank you for your generous help, Mr. Tyrant. The Water of Life is near the Moon’s Reflection Lake. Every evening, for ten minutes, the center of the Moon’s Reflection Lake will absorb the light of the stars and produce the Water of Life.”

“However, the Water of Life needs to be collected by elves, and there are powerful monsters around. I think you need some help. How about this, Mr. Tyrant? I’ll send a powerful elf team to accompany you to the Moon’s Reflection Lake to collect the Water of Life.” Elwyn said seriously.

“Are there many monsters in the Moon’s Reflection Lake?”

Lorne did not want to bring too many people. After all, more people affected his speed.

However, Elwyn looked at him very seriously and said, “Many. The Water of Life is extraordinary for elves. When the Water of Life is condensed, the energy gathered will have the effect of increasing the strength of many monsters, so they will definitely gather in the lake. At that time, you will face the attacks of dozens, or even hundreds of powerful monsters.”

“In addition, the Water of Life can only be collected by pure elves, so we who are infected cannot help you. The strength of those young elves is very limited, so this team might have to lose 80% of its members to collect enough Water of Life.”

With that, Elwyn sighed again.

For the sake of these infected elves, letting those children rush into the dangerous Moon’s Reflection Lake was practically suicide. This filled Elwyn with guilt.

However, they had to go. After all, Mr. Tyrant was willing to help them like this. How could they give up? Other than fighting once, there seemed to be no other choice.

“I see.” Lorne pondered and asked, “If the reason for sending so many young elves to participate in the operation is that their strength is limited, then what if they are powerful? Will they only need one or two elves to complete the harvest of the Water of Life?”

“Of course, but we can’t raise their strength in the short term. Other than using numbers to fill the gap, there’s no other way.” Elwyn shook her head. If she could do that, how could she make such a suggestion?

As she sighed to herself, Lorne took out a new herb and said, “What if we use this?”

“Dragon Blood Grass?!” Elwyn’s eyes lit up, and she said in surprise, “Does Mr. Tyrant have enough Dragon Blood Grass?”

“There are still more than ten thousand stalks,” Lorne said casually.

“That’s great!”

Elwyn hugged Lorne happily. She was so excited.

Lorne, on the other hand, felt a little satisfied. ‘Young’ was not as satisfying as ‘Voluptuous’, especially the feeling brought about by such a beautiful elf.

“With these Dragon Blood Grass, we can immediately raise a few powerful Phantom Assassins. The crisis of the race can be temporarily resolved.”

Elwyn smiled, then looked at Lorne and said, “It will take a few hours to raise the elves. Please wait a moment.”

“Yes, no problem.”

Lorne nodded and checked the time. It was already night time, and he could go offline to rest. He was indeed tired from running for several days.
