For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King Chapter 214

  Chapter 214 The Temple of the Holy Tree Mother

  7,800 naturally grown wooden ladders winding upwards around the sturdy trunk of the World Tree—it's more like a winding mountain road than a ladder leading to the canopy.

   In the past, William has also been here.

   In other words, he fought here.

  In those days, due to the influence of the seven calamities, the shell that protected the world became extremely fragile. The emptiness kings of the moon realm shredded the curtain one after another, created cracks in the moon realm, and directly projected their power into the world.

Most of the locations that create the cracks in the moon realm will have a mystical connection with the corresponding void king in the moon realm. Camilla, the rotten lady of the year, was able to get through by corrupting the most vibrant Ravenwood Forest in the entire Vic Continent. The connection between the lake of entropy and the present world.

  The main storyline of the Ravenwood map in the game is to remove the local curse of corruption and expel the pollution of the moon. At that time, Camilla planned to completely corrupt the World Tree, turning it into a breeding ground for corrupt power, so that her body could cross the obstacles of the world's shell and enter the present world.

   It can be said that, apart from the three nihilistic kings who successfully entered the world in the ending of the waning moon, Camilla is the one closest to the goal of entering the world.

   Of course, Camilla's plan was ultimately blocked by the End Watcher.

   At that time, in addition to William and his tribunal partners, there were two powerful "god"-level existences who thwarted Camilla's conspiracy.

  The will of the world tree "little mother", and the co-owner of the wild spirits "wilderness father".

   Outside the game, the main thing the Watchers of the End do is to run errands around the entire Longmei Longmei area and tell him about the originally scattered forest elves. At the very beginning, I used the power of the whole family to summon the "Little Mother" and "Father of the Wild", the two gods of the forest elves, who resisted the erosion from the Lake of Entropy at a critical moment, and defeated Ka for William. Mira's virtual incarnation, closing the lunar rift to buy time.

   In a sense, the power of those two "gods" to resist the direct shot of a virtual king is already very amazing.

   And that was the main reason why William wanted to be able to form an alliance with the forest elves.

  Based on the peculiar tradition of the forest elves, William never expected us to bring him any military support. After all, war is too cruel for that race.

  If you want to fully fight against the Moon Realm, the low-end combat power in the present world is still a little more. Although there is no split between the virtual kings, William can put all his hopes on the other side's infighting, and he can defeat it one by one. It depends on luck.

   It is a taboo to place hope on the foolishness of the enemy for one's own failure.

   But then again, the essence of the gods that the "Little Mother" and "Father of the Wilderness" two forest elves have been talking about for generations is also a very difficult question to answer.

Scholars from the Church of the Holy Spirit believe that the "little mother" and "father of the wilderness", like the few myths and legends in the small land of Vic, are the reflections of mortals' broken memories of the creation of the Holy Spirit. The "little mother", which symbolizes the will of the world tree, is a fragment of the "mother" of the Holy Spirit, while the "father of the wilderness", who symbolizes kingship and hunting, may be a mixture of the prototypes of "father" and "years".

   That is the more authoritative official statement, but William thinks that is the standard answer.

   "Father of Wilderness" is unlikely to be similar to Oka, the god-king in Whitewater mythology, who imitates myths and legends through ritual magic to gain authority with weak power. After all, every "Father of the Wilderness" must hold a "divine marriage" ceremony with the World Tree in order to gain weak power. That is very consistent with the principle that when the authority is born, it needs to imitate the myths and legends of the past, and obtain power through resonance.

   But "little mother" is like that.

   It has a personification without a personification, and a spokesperson without the power to act, and it will make decisions by itself. From those points, "Little Mother" is more like a running program than a god.

  William guessed that it was a driver that could control the unleashed power of the World Tree.

   And my guess is not groundless

A very crucial piece of evidence is that the ancestors of the forest elves were colonists from Awa. If the "little mother" is really people's vague memories of the creation of the Holy Spirit, then the forest elves who came from here would not be at all. Is there any original collective memory of the belief in the "little mother"?

  After the emergence of the Church of the Holy Spirit, myths and legends were extremely regional. Early magic—or what should be called "witchcraft" based on these myths—would be somewhat robust, or even completely ineffective, before leaving the confines of its spellcaster's culture.

   Therefore, the ancestors of the forest elves from Ava Continent directly relied on the common collective memory to shape the "little mother" into a god, which is almost possible under no current theory.

   Of course, in reality, William is not concerned about the origin of the "little mother", anyway, as long as he originates from the moon realm, and will become his enemy in the future.

  What I really care about is how I should make good use of the power of the "little mother" to fight against the moon realm.

  Since the other party has personality or not, this is the possibility of negotiation. In other words, the "little mother" is only a weak colored force, but it is only controlled by the forest druid class.

   Therefore, as long as I control the priest group of the forest elves, I can indirectly grasp that power.

   In the past, there was occasionally no profound conflict between Jade Raven's priest system and the tribe's warrior class. Only relying on the "divine marriage ceremony", the strong interest relationship is barely maintained.

   Come to think of it, even after a thousand years, the essence of the contradiction will not change too little.

  In that case, before William passed the "Wild Hunt" mode of conduct, Xiaozhi found out the governance level of the Duke of Sacred Tree. I ended the consideration if I should turn to the group of priests who believed in the "little mother".

   Of course, it's just a matter of consideration. In comparison, these priests are more human beings?

   "Yes... The current Duke of the Sacred Tree is actually a man. Does that mean that the ceremony of the 'Father of the Wild' has been abolished?"

  William muttered as he went down the steps at a rapid speed of eight and two steps—after all, there are 1,400 steps. If it was because he wanted to attract the necessary attention, William might have chosen to use the transformation spell to fly down.

   Back to the topic... It is possible for men to inherit the power of the "Father of the Wild" through ritual magic.

  What is the reason for this current one to sit firmly in the position of the Duke of the Sacred Tree? You must know that although the forest elves are willing to kill themselves, we, who are in the company of beasts and forests, are also a race that values ​​the weak and the concept of the strong and the weak.

  In the forest elves, it is possible for the strong to conquer the crowd, and strength is the foundation of everything.

  Why exactly…

   It wasn't until William had climbed all the steps and came to the door of Ash's Gate that I thought of a possibility.

   Difficulty is successful, the real backer behind the Duke of Sacred Tree today is the Riel Empire?

   Recalling what the Wild Hunt said one after another - we were sent out to hunt down anti-Imperial elements. It made William even more hesitant about the idea that just came up.

   Before thinking about that possibility, William's first reaction was actually a slight sigh of relief.

   "If that's the case, it's easier to deal with..."

   William muttered to himself.

  If the current Sacred Tree Duke is a hesitant imperial faction who needs to rely on the support of the empire to secure his position, this would be the best thing for William.

   The other side lacks both hard power and no small righteousness. This one's own choice can simply be a negotiation, directly seize power, and then support a subordinate who is willing to obey.

   In the end, not as an ally, but as Baishui Province, he directly brought Longmei Province under his control.

   If that's the case, he can even deal with the empire's expedition to Ava Continent. After all, Wood Province is equivalent to the real "small front" of the expedition, with a strategic depth.

   If you bring Longmei Province up by yourself, the war of the expeditionary army will even spread to the mainland of Awa.

   And he has the resources of two provinces in his hand, and before forming an alliance with Avazhou, he can try to challenge the empire directly.

  Thinking of that, William, who felt a little excited, directly pushed open the small white door.

   If that is the case, then his priority is to retreat and contact the priest group who believe in the "little mother". See if we are a lower-ranking force worthy of our own support.

And just as I was thinking about it, on the other side of the door, a maid-like forest elf man seemed to be waiting outside for a while. Before seeing William open the door, he immediately went to me respectfully. A gift.

   "Little mother's listeners learned of your arrival after a long time. I have been waiting for you in the temple for a while now."

   said the maid.

   Hearing that sentence, William was stunned for a moment, and then immediately became vigilant.

   On that trip to Long Mae Province, he should have done a good job of keeping secrets, at least in Sacred Tree City, no one should know that he would come.

  Is that what you say to everyone who comes on pilgrimage?

   Waiting for William to ask questions, he continued:

   "The little mother told you that you saved the great cause of Avazhou in the moon realm after a long time. Therefore, please also save the jade Ruiwen who has fallen into a huge crisis."
