February 1, 834, far south.

The melting snow in the western mountains has formed numerous rivers. These rivers flow eastward and end up in the central black forest. Running southward, they enter the far south, flow through many forests and plains, and finally merge into the holy land of the elves, the lake of eternal thousand islands.

The lake of eternity is large enough to be called the inland sea. There are thousands of islands in it. They are dotted like stars on the surface of the blue lake.

The land surrounding the eternal lake is the territory of the elves. Countless elves tribes and cities are distributed around the lakes and rivers. However, only the most powerful and prosperous elves can obtain an island in the lake as the most core base.

Because that's where the tree of life is planted.

Only the environment of the island on the eternal lake can make the tree of life grow. The elves without the tree of life will never be on the stage.

In the center of the lake and the largest island, there grows an incomparable giant tree, whose branches and leaves are enough to surpass the clouds. The area of this huge mother tree of life even exceeds that of a city, and the Royal Court of the elves lives here, breathing with the giant tree.

On the central island, under the shade of giant trees, a bare hill, a young elf is carrying the head of a giant beast, along a dirt road to the lonely wooden house at the top of the hill.

When you open the door, the interior decoration of the wooden house is simple, but there is a sense of freshness. However, if you look carefully, you can find that the wooden house is actually made of several big trees. In the corner of the window sill and eaves, you can see the green buds growing slowly, and even some mushrooms spreading their pileus in the corner.

The young elf carries the head of his prey and comes to the center of the tree house. An old elf with green hair is sitting in the center of the hall with his eyes closed to meditate. He is not surprised by the young ELF's visit and doesn't open his eyes. He just says, "here you are, IRA."

The elf named IRA has light blue shoulder length hair and emerald eyes. His hair is simply tied into a shape convenient for action, and his appearance is as beautiful as most elves. However, his expression and tone are not as peaceful as elves. On the contrary, he is rarely full of enthusiasm and pride: "elder! You see, my prey

As he said this, he put the head of the giant beast in his hand in front of the old man. The head, which had been treated by magic, did not smell of bleeding, and kept a fierce look. The elder sitting on the ground opened his eyes slightly, and then nodded: "a Tyrannosaurus Rex with golden peak, did you hunt alone? Not bad. "

"Yes! I think I'm good, too! " IRA boasted about himself without modesty. He tried to show his muscles, but he failed because of the ELF's inherent slender body, so he had to give up regretfully. However, the Smurf was very proud of his hard hunting: "Mr. madara, what can I get in the evaluation this time?"

"Well, it's all right."

He sighed a little for his disciple's off-line action, and the elder couldn't continue to meditate. He simply opened his eyes and scanned IRA and the beast's head in front of him with silver eyes like metal. Madada nodded and said with some satisfaction: "you have reached the Golden Peak... In terms of your age, It's very outstanding. I can probably get an excellent evaluation. "

Although the Smurf didn't speak, he was very happy. After a while, IRA calmed down, and then tried to ask, "well, teacher... How do I compare with you back then?"

When he said this, the cheerful young ELF's look was no longer the same as before. Instead, he was very serious and could see that he really wanted to know the answer.

"When did I do that?"

With a sigh, the elder madala could see that IRA was serious, so after thinking for a while, he began to say slowly.

"Elven court, the most powerful candidate of all the succession candidates of the next generation of holy wood priests, granto, you must know him."

The old man did not answer each other directly, but first asked a question. Naturally, IRA nodded her head seriously when she heard the words. The strongest one in the young generation of the Elven King court, granto garanord, of course, the young elves knew each other. In a way, because of some reasons in her childhood, IRA was even the admirer of each other.

"Granto's level today is not far behind that of me, but he has more potential than me."

Sitting in the middle of the wooden hall, the elder said to his disciples in a calm tone: "he left the lake of eternity very early and went to the place where the dragon was raging. When the dragon was the most violent, he used his own strength to break into the dragon group and shot hundreds of Dragons with a single bow, which shocked the people who were assisted. After that, he realized that although it is also the golden peak now, he has reached the edge of extreme intention. If it's a contest, you can fight with him for a long time without losing, but if it's a fight of life and death. "After a pause, the elder whispered, "five seconds, you will die."

Hearing this, IRA, who had been smiling, frowned.

"Teacher, his highness granto has the blood of the royal family, and also has the instruction of the legendary strongman. It's no surprise that he is better than me, but I am also your disciple after all. How can I be killed by him in five seconds with the same age and level?"

At this time, the Smurf showed a strong momentum all over his body. The magic of the surrounding elements obeyed the will of the young strong man and flowed in the atmosphere, converging into various mysterious natural runes, as if to condense into a bright star bow. He said with some dissatisfaction: "my strength, It's hard to find a rival among the surrounding elves, so I went hunting those monsters. "

"Just the elves."

The elder glanced at his disciple. He shook his head and said, "listen, IRA, if you live in the forest, you will never see the sky above the branches and leaves. Your vision is too narrow. You know, even the existence of granto, who can kill hundreds of wild dragons in the first world war at a young age, is only the second echelon in the whole continent of mirov."

IRA scattered the rune condensed by his own magic power. He scratched his head in disbelief and said, "His Royal Highness granto, who can kill me in five seconds and shoot hundreds of wild dragons in World War I, can only be regarded as second rate?"

Although he looked very unconvinced before, he knew that his teacher would not cheat him. As the elder of the elves, madara was famous for his accurate vision. Since he said that glendo could kill himself in five seconds, he would never be wrong.

So the young man who thought he was a genius but now he was beaten hard asked, "well, how can he be regarded as the top? Don't you count them all? "

The old man smiles and waits for IRA to ask.

"Me? Of course, I don't count. In this world, that is, second rate... Not talking about the elves, I'll talk about the strongmen of other races and forces. "

The elder changed his sitting posture a little, straightened his back a little, and then looked at his disciples. He said seriously: "the family of Western Mountain holy sword envoys, the holder of mistletoe's sword, lamot tyrnan, when he was young and on the same stage with you, he had already exterminated more than ten cults, big and small. On the way, He has killed at least ten incarnations of great demons. He is one of the top of the world

"When he was young, Israel Diamond, the emperor of the northern Empire, attacked the orc's stone rhinoceros heavy cavalry forces alone. He killed the enemy for thousands of miles in the first World War, raided the orc royal court for thousands of miles, killed three Orc generals in the encirclement and suppression of the army, and returned safely. He was one of the top leaders."

"In the eastern plain, babarosa, the fourth seat of guantian White Pagoda, was the master of elements. When he was young, he used his own strength to pull up the seabed rock shelf, which made an artificial island in the East China Sea and transformed it into his own mage tower. The three big Fishman tribes along the coast want to stop him. The result is that the vast sea area centered on Shidao is soaked with Fishman's blood. Two of the three big tribes are removed, and he is also one of the top

"Now, they are all legendary strong men and leaders of the major forces in the world. They are the top of the world and the last era."

"IRA Ellis, you're good among the elves, even if you're a genius - but that's all for the world."

The elder calmly said to his disciples, "if you want to be strong, you can't just stay in the jungle and fight with those wild dragons and beasts. You have to go out of this forest and see other strong people under the sky, wilderness, snow, desert, abyss, every place in the world. You have to witness and experience with your own eyes, Only in this way can we really understand the true meaning of nature. "

"Nature is by no means only forest, nor vegetation."

Speaking of this, the elder stood up. It seemed that the old elf was very big when he stood upright. He said to the young elf he was thinking about: "I have a place to go to the northern empire with your natural tutor. You can have a look together."

"See the style of the top of the world in your time."

March 1, 834, Moldavia, north.

At this time, the strong wind drove the black clouds, so that the deep shadow covered the mountains and plains, covered the sky, snowstorms poured down, the cold wind swept the sky and earth with dry air, freezing all the remaining water into ice, making people covered with cold.

The blizzard in March is the last and coldest blizzard in winter in northern China. The extremely cold ice wind from the boundless sea will blow through the ice fields, mountains and wasteland along the way, and finally be blocked by the Ural Mountains, forming a blizzard covering the whole northern region.And a team that is out of place with the pale world is walking in the ice and snow.

There are only less than 20 people in this team, but each of them seems to have the strength of golden rank. They are riding a dragon blood horse provided by the Imperial military headquarters, and the most central part is a simple wooden car pulled by a walking dragon.

The wooden cart is full of vitality. Even in the ice and snow days, there are still green branches and leaves spreading from the roof of the wooden car. Each leaf is engraved with a complete natural rune, and each branch can form a complete natural magic.

Just this wooden car is an extraordinary item that surpasses the gold level. Plus the strength of more than ten gold level teams around, it is enough to break through a small country.

Wind and snow blowing, so that a rider's hood was blown open, revealing the sharp ears behind.

This is a team of elves.

They are heading for the center of the great AEAS mountains in the north, the great AEAS volcano.

IRA quickly covered the hood and tightened his windproof collar. He complained in a low voice: "my God, it's been snowing for three days, isn't it? Why hasn't it stopped? "

The elder madara shook his head and said, "three days? Good boy, Beidi is the northernmost part of the world. The days of Blizzard here are calculated in months

The Smurf immediately stopped talking, but continued to drive his horse and follow the team in frustration.

Along the way, following the diplomatic team of your natural tutor, this young Genie genius really felt his previous shallowness.

The altitude reaction in the west mountain, the desert and blizzard in the northern empire are all completely different from the humid jungle in the far south. In this land that makes him feel extremely uncomfortable, IRA has to admit that his strength has been greatly reduced. If he fights with local experts of the same level, he will definitely win or lose in five seconds.

——I was a little conceited and complacent before.

After all, IRA is also a genius among the elves. He has already understood what he lacks, that is, his adaptation to the world and his understanding of nature. When this journey is over, he will surely go further, It's not hard to catch up with his highness granto, whom he revered before.

But, how on earth can be regarded as the top of the teacher's mouth? He thought curiously.

And this is the moment.

IRA suddenly raised his head and looked around in surprise. He felt a hot wind surging.

The warm air is coming, covering the whole team.

"Boom!"

The sky, which was already overcast with clouds, suddenly became darker. Lightning and thunder flashed in the clouds. Rolling black clouds completely covered all the light sources from the sun, making the world dark.

The advancing elves stopped.

The sound of Blizzard and wind gradually turned into the sound of rain, enough to cover the sky of snow, actually in a few seconds into a torrential rain.

It's not cold. It's even warm rain. It comes down to the ice sheet in the south of Moldavia. In the dark, lightning flashes past, lighting up the whole world and showing it to the public. With this light, IRA seems to see a large silver white light in front of her.

Then, the uniform sound of footsteps shook the earth.

Teams of elite armored knights, riding on strong dragon blood horses, led nearly 200 silver level steel puppets to the front of the team. They stopped on both sides of the front of the spirit team, as if to guard the team forward.

Among them, there are even Knights riding winged Pegasus. Their strength, without exception, has reached the golden level. Although they are not as strong as the golden ones in the elves, they are the diplomatic team carefully selected by the elves. Here, they are just the strength of a territory.

IRA was a little shocked to see this scene. The strength and momentum of these Knights made him feel that the royal guards were just like this. But soon his attention was attracted by other things.

For example, in the high sky, the sound of thunder is long.

It was the sound of a long and incomparable dragon, which appeared with lightning and reverberated among the clouds.

In the rolling black clouds, there is a huge thing looming in it. It seems that it is flying wantonly in the sky full of thunder, chanting loudly.

Looking up at the clouds, IRA could vaguely see a huge figure breaking through the clouds from time to time, revealing part of his body.As if absorbing all the light of the black shell, smooth and ferocious body, this black dragon with a pair of strange wings like a skeleton, carrying a huge steel ring, shuttling between thunder and rainstorm, lightning and wind, blazing thunder hit on its shell, but it was completely absorbed, leaving no scars.

The hot wind is stronger, and the weather is not like cold winter, but more like summer rainstorm. The golden spar on the black dragon's chest is shining like the sun, illuminating half of the earth under the sky.

"Oh, my God... Is it the power of this dragon that turns Blizzard into rainstorm?"

IRA Ellis murmured in an inconceivable voice. This is the first time that the young man has seen the power that can change the sky. The Golden Crystal on the black dragon's chest is like the sun. The spirit knows that the terrible energy contained in it is enough to kill him again and again in an instant.

"No

But the old man beside him shook his head seriously: "it's not this dragon."

He looked at the sky with shocked eyes, behind the black dragon.

As the existence of the supreme intention, the elder madara naturally sees it more clearly.

If the radiation of life, which is terrible enough to change the whole sky, is a burning sun.

So this dragon is just a car dragging the sun forward.

At the same time, in the sky, came a voice over the strong wind.

"Your Excellency, the natural tutor."

With a low and clear voice, he overcame the thunder and rainstorm, and said to the elves

"Welcome to the north."
