Volume 4: The End of the World Chapter 84: Favor
On the other side, Flora and Ebony looked at William, who suddenly fell down silently , and they couldn't help but panic.
They didn't think that this strange alchemical potion could harm this legendary figure from more than a thousand years ago.
According to some legends, this man had eaten more than a hundred kinds of alchemical raw materials raw and tested them on himself in order to find out the hidden properties of those alchemical materials. He also invented more than 20 classic alchemical formulas. Among the five pioneering alchemists on the medal of the Royal Pharmacy Award, the highest honor awarded by the Alchemy Association of the Riel Empire every year, William Kane ranked third as a great alchemist.
Since he dares to drink like this, then nothing will happen.
But the key point is, isn't it a bit too hasty to get yourself drunk at this moment?
The legendary Chief Judge, the incarnation of the Eighth Holy Spirit of the Empire's faith, does things so arbitrarily?
Flora and Ebony looked at each other helplessly, then could only sigh slightly, and carried the unconscious William to the door of the Treetop Temple, and made him sit down with his back against the dark brown wooden door.
"According to the judge, his ultimate goal is to completely destroy the entire country you used to rule. Don't you have any complaints about this, Ms. Flora?"
Ebony settled William on the wooden door, and when he stood up, he suddenly asked the Duke of Holy Tree, whose body and soul came from two different timelines.
In the history of "Hobien Ebony", there is a big deviation between the two timelines. This timeline still retains the divine marriage ceremony between "Holy Tree Mother" and "Father of the Wilderness". The strongest warrior selected through the Blood Moon Game will marry the incarnation of "Holy Tree Mother", kill the incarnation of the Mother after the marriage is completed, and officially crown the title of Duke of the Holy Tree.
On the normal timeline, although there is a similar ritual process, after the two gods of the forest elves died in the past, this ritual basically became just a form of etiquette and would not actually cause casualties.
For this reason, the influence of the hunting tribes that believe in animal spirits has been declining over the past thousand years, while the Oak Council that believes in tree spirits has gradually gained power.
In the normal timeline, Ebony is a puppet of the Oak Council. The Council "collected" a lot of "great spirits" from the hunting tribes and tattooed them on his body, making him eligible to become the Duke of the Holy Tree. They also found Floral Cain, who had no power behind him, and planned to use her unique talent as the incarnation of the "Great Mother"...
Of course, the Oak Council underestimated Flora's personal strength, which led to the failure of all their wishes.
In the normal timeline, Ebony and the Duke of the Holy Tree had a close relationship... Although it was hard to say whether they were good friends or bad friends, both of them were trying to change Ravenwood in their own way, and they had reached a consensus on changing those old traditions. Although the prescriptions they prescribed were completely opposite, at least they had a rare respect for each other in their hearts.
But the Floro that Ebony knew was not someone who could be easily persuaded.
But in response to Ebony's question, Flora simply answered casually:
"Isn't this obvious? Or do you think that after seeing such a scenery at the end of the world, I should still try to save such a world?"
Ebony shook his head and looked at the mess in the Treetop Temple.
"But if it was you in the other timeline, you might really do it. From what I know about her, even if she knew that the timeline she was in was just an empty fantasy, she would try her best to save her home... even if the price was to sacrifice the entire world."
He originally thought that Flora, whose soul came from the other side, would make the same choice.
"Is that so?"
Flora raised her head as if with some sigh.
Although her memories and perceptions still came from this side of the body at this moment, the voice deep in her heart told her clearly that it was not the case.
"Then you must have misunderstood something... I have never had such deep feelings for Ravenwood. From the beginning to the end, my only dream was to be able to unload all responsibilities and leave here completely."
She said softly.
Fularo never felt that her soul belonged here, and her desire to protect Ravenwood was only due to her adoptive parents and the promise she made to her teacher "Nehe"...
"So now we are very willing to help you, dear Duke."
A discordant voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.
Ebony turned his head, and from his perspective, a young man with a wolf face tattoo was leading a group of disgusting stitched creatures, slowly walking up the stairs.
On this side of the timeline, the so-called "Wild Hunt" refers to the terrifying corpse-sewing beast - a beast that has completely lost its own will and will only obey the orders of its master.
As for the young man with a wolf face tattoo, Ebony had seen him in both timelines—Quell Wolfspeak, the son of Gareth Wolfspeak, the secretary of the Bone House. It is worth mentioning that in both timelines, he had a bad relationship with his father. It was just that in this timeline, he was too close to the Oak Council, and in the other timeline, he was too close to an unknown anti-imperial organization.
Flora seemed to have been waiting for them for a long time. She held up the magic medium in her hand and stared at the people who were surrounding them. She maintained her dignity as the Duke of the Holy Tree and said:
"What did you mean by that? Son of Gare."
Quill saluted in a pretentious manner, then said:
"That's exactly what it means, my Lord. The Oak Council has taken control of your Wild Hunt, and the Imperial Embassy has now clearly turned to support us in regaining the ancient faith of the Mother Goddess... Since you are eager to get rid of your responsibilities as a ruler, your dream can now come true."
Then he tiptoed slightly, looked past Flora to see the tragic scene in the Treetop Temple, and then said with great regret:
"But unfortunately, the first thing you will do after leaving office is to return to the Holy Tree Great Mother Temple to be investigated. You will be charged with the crimes of disrupting the Great Mother's descent ceremony, slaughtering innocent forest elves, and using fire..."
Flora did not reply, but simply tapped the magic medium in her hand. The space between her and the stitched monsters was instantly filled with countless sharp ice spikes.
You can give it a try.
She looked at the other person and said silently.
Regardless of which timeline it is, Flora's power as the Duke of the Sacred Tree comes from her unrivaled strength in Ravenwood. If the other party thinks that she can be captured by relying on the advantage of numbers, then she is happy to let the other party know how wrong they are.
The surging magic power weaved a large spell in Floro's etheric domain that could freeze all the small fry present in one blow.
Although it has not been released yet to cover reality with her will in a small area, its strong intention has already made the people present feel a cold sensation like phantom pain.
A careful spell cast by the Divine Realm Mage is definitely enough to freeze everyone present.
However, Quill on the side continued to sigh with his previous pretentious attitude, and then slowly said:
"Lady Flora... Do you still think that you are still blessed by the Great Mother? Or do you always think that your god-like power really belongs to you?"
After he said that, he took a step back, and two figures appeared behind him, one on the left and one on the right.
In Floro's perception, it was a tree spirit made up of countless green light spots, and an imperial ambassador dressed in Platinum Palace style clothing.
It is still difficult to call it an "opponent" although it takes more effort to deal with them than those small fry.
In Ebony's vision, two people suddenly appeared. One was a high-level undead with blood all over his body, and the other was a monster with the lower body of a spider and the upper body of a beautiful girl, and his body was filled with dark miasma.
"Just because of them..."
Flora didn't get to finish her mocking words. Almost in an instant, she felt that the surging magic power that had filled her etheric domain disappeared instantly like a balloon that had been punctured.
The huge magic power that he could originally control according to his will was now like the Wild Hunt troops that had betrayed him, and it was out of his control in an instant.
She was decapitated...
Although his will was able to completely construct those complex magic formulas, without magic power as fuel, those formulas were nothing but vain fantasies.
"It seems that some people are no longer under the care of the Great Mother. It seems that your legend of suppressing the entire Ravenwood alone is about to be ..."
Looking at Flora's shocked eyes, Quill said so.
At this moment, his expression was very happy.
And this pleasure lasted until another sudden sound was heard.
"But she is under my patronage now."
A slightly hoarse voice came from behind the door of the Treetop Temple, and an unknown man with gray hair walked out.
The person who came was a human, wearing a complicated and gorgeous wizard robe, holding a heavy lead-gray magic medium in his hand. His eyes swept over the crowd, lingering for a moment on the "Imperial Ambassador", then he looked at Flora and said:
“Thus, the legend of Floral Cain is destined to continue.”
