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

   Chapter 220 The Duke of the Holy Tree

   Seeing the man following behind him, Ebony finally breathed a sigh of relief.

   When the other party came in, he was completely invisible, no different from an ordinary human who came here for pilgrimage, and there was no sense of oppression from the top powerhouse. Although Ebony had never doubted the revelation of the "big mother", when he saw such a person walk in, he could not help but murmur.

But when he offered his price to the other party according to the revelation of the "big mother", the huge magic power that overflowed from the other party's body almost made him feel suffocated - even in the temple of the Holy Tree and the Great Mother. Under the suppression of the ban, the other party can create a large-scale magic phenomenon, which shows that the human being in front of him is definitely not as simple as he looks on the surface.

  Ebony even felt that with the strength of the opponent, he might be able to wrestle with the **** who took his throne.

   Thinking of the woman who took everything away from him, Ebony turned gloomy again in an instant. An emotion mixed with anger and shame kept rising in his heart.

  For hundreds of years, no, it can even be said that for thousands of years, the leader of the forest elves has been the "Father of the Wild", without exception. Even after the unification war, although the supreme ruler of the forest elves must be recognized by the emperor in principle, for the forest elves, it is just one more process, and the "Duke of the Holy Tree" is replaced in front of outsiders. It's just an unknown name.

   Because the Ravenwood Forest was not like other provinces of the empire in the unification war, it was defeated and conquered by the imperial legion on the frontal battlefield. Coupled with the particularity of the forest elves' cultural traditions, and their real existence of the protection of the god-level existence "big mother". Therefore, even after Ravenwood and the surrounding areas were incorporated into the Riel Empire as a whole province, the forest elves still enjoyed very loose autonomy.

   Basically, as long as the Holy Tree City side recognizes the dominance of the Platinum Throne and pays tithes on time. In Jade Province, even in major events such as leader elections, the Empire basically has no ability to intervene.

   In Ravenwood, the supreme power is not like the human empire, which can be inherited only by birth and blood.

  Maybe the forest elves are a peaceful race as a whole, but their leaders must be cruel and powerful.

   On the blood moon astronomical phenomenon every 20 years, all tribes have to select the most powerful warriors to enter the hunting grounds, and let them fight like wild beasts in the hunting grounds until the last person.

  The victor will eat the flesh and blood of all the losers and draw the strength from their souls. At this point, it can be proved that he is the real powerhouse who can lead the entire forest elves to prosper.

   And after that, the victor must return to the tree of the world to wash himself and drink the sap of the holy tree to regain his humanity. Finally, he can complete the marriage with the incarnation selected by the "big mother", officially obtain the name and power of "Father of the Wilderness", and gain the authority to rule the forest elves and command all the wild spirits.

  Hobby Ebony was the last person to survive in the "Blood Moon Game".

  Although the "ebony" tribe he was born into was not prominent, and the great spirit who signed the contract was not powerful, he still used his strength and courage to prove that he had the qualifications to lead the entire Jade Province.

   However, it was in the last step, when he needed to complete the final step of the divine marriage ceremony with the human avatar chosen by the "big mother". That woman, who is now the Duke of the Holy Tree, waved him away from the palace.

   That scene seemed both comical and outrageous.

   "The leader of Ravenwood should not be you."

   Under the moonlight, the woman looked at him with eyes that looked like ants, and said in a very indifferent tone.

   Hearing these words, Ebony, who was fighting from the sea of ​​corpses and blood in the hunting ground, angrily called out the great spirit engraved on his body. The pride of being the final winner of the Blood Moon game made him unbearable to suffer such an insult. Even if the other party is the incarnation chosen by the "big mother" in this world, she will pay the due price for her words and deeds.

   But the result is... As the winner of the Blood Moon game, even if he didn't underestimate the enemy at all, he was easily knocked down by the opponent in a single encounter.

   I didn't even see the opponent's move clearly.

   "Give it up, you are not qualified for this."

   At that time, the woman looked at herself who was still trying to get up and said so.

   "Then who has this qualification?"

  Ebony asked with difficulty while swallowing blood.

   "Although I would like to say that everyone except you has this qualification. But I believe you will not be convinced..."

   The other party still said in a flat tone:

   "So...the one who defeated you is the one who really has the qualifications."

   "You? What qualifications do you have as a woman to be the 'Father of the Wild', to wear a crown of antlers and rule the whole of Ravenwood?"

  Ebony asked with an angry smile.

   But the other party replied indifferently:

"You can keep that crown if you love it. I don't need that kind of thing. In addition, I want to remind you that the current supreme ruler of Jade Province is the Duke of Sacred Tree conferred by the empire, not the father of the wilderness. In the past, the responsibilities of the two overlapped, so they were lumped together, understand?"

   "Then how are you going to make others agree with your delusions? Do you think the major tribes, forest druids, those dryads, and all the forest elves will believe your words and support you as king?"

  Ebony asked with blood in his mouth.

   But the other party just said calmly:

"Except for all the forest elf people, the people you just mentioned, I will go to them one by one and have a good talk. And as long as we have negotiated with them, those people will naturally accept me to come to power. Don't worry, since I said so. Well, then I will definitely do what I say.”

   What the other party said was "negotiated", that is, relying on force to make them submit. Or to put it more accurately, relying on her own force, she fought with all the forces in the entire Cuiyu Province in turn, and finally made everyone succumb to her will.

   This kind of thing sounds like a fantasy, that woman did it in less than a year.

  …

   "Just her?"

   On the way to the secret room where the reward was placed, William asked about the Duke of Sacred Tree—why a woman could serve as the ruler of Ravenwood, which should be completely impossible in the tradition of forest elves.

   And after listening to Ebony's narration, William asked in surprise.

   This kind of thing doesn't sound very real.

   Now, he roughly knows the level of power in the entire world—most people can only practice three-series spells, and the bottleneck of promotion will be blocked by the Council of Stars. The popular-faced characters who could only run around in the Mage Guild back then can be regarded as a powerhouse now.

   In contrast, the forest elves have inherited a unique and extraordinary power system based on the communication between the beast spirits and the tree spirits. The spell receding brought about by the law of the stars does not have a great impact on Jade Province. Although this power will be limited to the area of ​​Ravenwood, as long as it is within this area, the strength they can exert is still extremely impressive. of.

   If you don't consider the fact that the forest elves are difficult to mobilize for war because of their own special culture. It is extremely difficult to send troops to control Ravenwood with the power of the current empire on the bright side, and it is even very likely to overturn.

   This can be seen from the unification war 800 years ago - if Yeats and the original platinum ring couldn't play, they would set fire to the mountain directly, and the Imperial Legion of the year could not eat Ravenwood who was willing to fight.

   Therefore, according to William's estimation, even if this or that Duke of the Holy Tree has pulled all three spells to the legendary level, he will not be able to penetrate all the extraordinary forces in the entire Jade Province with one person's power.

   Could it be that the opponent has already reached the level of the gods' domain with all three spells? Or, the other party bypassed the restrictions of the law of the stars? Or…

   William's mind flashed some less optimistic possibilities.

"She was alone, although she later became involved with the imperial family because of Irene Riel, and after being there, she received a lot of support from the empire. But that was after she took the throne, At least the process of her taking the position of the Duke of Sacred Tree was done bit by bit by her own strength."

   Ebony replied.

   If you say that, it might be a tricky idea...

  William thought so, and asked casually:

   "By the way, after hearing you say it for so long, what is the name of the Duke of the Sacred Tree?"

   Hearing this question, Ebony replied with disgust:

   "Her name is Flaro, a forest elf name that is too common to see."

The name    is probably similar to the world in William's past, where the parents gave their daughters X Yang or X Li.

  William nodded, but before he could say anything, Ebony continued:

   "But she is a rare forest elf raised by humans, so her surname inherits her parents' human surname."

   "Her surname is Kane, Flaro Kane. Speaking of which, it's the same surname as the Eighth Holy Spirit worshipped by the Empire."
