Soul of Burning Steel

Suddenly, a dull thunder sounded in the sky.

Urken and others raised their heads. In their eyes, the heavy clouds above their heads were quickly dissipating, as if they were spreading spontaneously to welcome some existence. At the same time, a burning meteorite was on the horizon. Dragging the long red light strip across the sky, flying towards the distance.

The falling firelight of the meteorite is as dazzling as the sun, and there is more than one. The firelight brought by the continuous falling of the meteorite even makes the black clouds turn dark gold. Lightning is in the sky, and the meteorite falls, and you can still see it not far. The huge tornado column.

"The stone demon also landed nearby, I need to speed up..."

After being silent for a while, Urken lowered his voice and said solemnly to all the guards behind him: "You are optimistic about the airship here. If there is any accident, then leave quickly. If you wait for the tornado to approach, you will not be able to leave. ..."

"But my lord, how about you?"

A guard standing at the back couldn't help but ask. He looked worried: "You can take us with you for whatever you are going to do. As long as it is to protect you, we are not afraid of any danger."

He said so sincerely that even the other guards couldn't help but nod in response, but Urken shook his head: "This is not something you should know."

The red-haired elf's voice was cold, and he was not moved by the loyalty of his subordinates. He only gave a brief order: "Stay here and wait for me to come back. If you encounter danger, don't hesitate to retreat. This is an order!"

The guards looked at each other. They did not understand the meaning of this command at all. However, due to the majesty of the commander over the past 70 years, they did not dare to violate such a clear command. The head of the guard looked at the red-haired elf's solemn eyes. Can gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, commander!"

After getting a clear answer, Urken walked quickly towards the center of the ruins, and all the guards stayed at a loss. If they didn't protect the adult, they would not know the meaning of their existence. But faced with such direct orders from the adults they serve, they don't know how to defy them, and they can only fall into a dilemma.

And after a while, Ulken had come to the center of the city ruins.

This is the capital of the last elven dynasty. Seventy years ago, the final battle between the Federation and the dynasty was fought here. The fierce battle surpassed all the battles in the past millennia. The rebels who fought for freedom and survival fought hard. The impact broke through the imperial army's defenses and invaded the capital, but when the imperial palace's defense line was about to be breached, the imperial family ignited the city's fire and set everything to flames.

In order to avoid the fire, the insurgents had to leave the battlefield temporarily, but because Urken was on the forefront of the charge, he did not immediately withdraw. He had to hide in a basement of the palace, and the fire caused it. The collapse of the building buried it even more.

At that time, Urken believed that he was bound to die, but everything was worth it. The dynasty was destroyed and his dream had been realized. Although the ending was somewhat unsatisfactory, he was still able to accept it, but he hadn’t waited for him to die safely. At that time, the basement suddenly cracked a big mouth, where there was a natural underground crack enough for one person to walk. After being surprised, the red-haired elf naturally walked into it to see if he had any hope of surviving.

At this moment, Urken, who has become the chief of the Federation, once again returned to the basement.

In order to excavate the remains of the Elven Dynasty, after the war, the Federation conducted a collective excavation of the capital of the dynasty, and the entrance of the basement was naturally excavated, but under the operation of Urken, no one found the natural crack. All this has become a secret in his heart that only he knows.

Fragments of buildings and countless pieces of charred objects were scattered around, and the relief sculptures and broken statues that had become charred were scattered around. Among the piles of ruins full of traces of the dynasty, he saw the one that was excavated. Out, a small passage entrance.

This is it.

Taking a deep breath, Urken walked into it step by step. He looked around the small basement and quickly found a place hidden by slabs.

After strenuously removing the slate, the red-haired elf panted heavily, looked at the cracked hole that had not changed, and laughed at himself: "After years of pampering, my physical strength has deteriorated to this point."

But he didn't hesitate at all, but immediately entered the cave, and walked along the dry stone wall toward the bottom.

Along the way, there was a darkness and silence without any sound. The blast from the outside, the roar of meteorites, and the shock of lightning across the night sky had nothing to do with him. Everything was like a bottomless abyss. Ulken was walking in the dark. In the silence, it seemed to be isolated from the world.

All this is so terrifying. If ordinary people are in it, they will definitely be overwhelmed by the endless darkness and loneliness. The oppression brought by the narrow stone crevices is even worse than this, which is always frightening. When the crack closes, he will be crushed into a piece of flesh.

But Urken's heart did not waver at all, not to mention that he had already walked once, knowing where the crack led, even if he was here for the first time, the red-haired elf would not hesitate at all.

Because behind him are the lives of thousands of elves, the weight of a race, a country, and even a civilization.

And he shoulders all this, although he is heavy, but he will never be crushed.

A light appeared in front of his eyes.

After a long or not long walk, a faint light appeared in the darkness in front of him. A wave of light appeared in Urken's heart. He knew that he was about to arrive, and the underground air was still fresh and not turbid. He took a big breath. Then, reaching the end of the crack, the red-haired elf walked out quickly and came to an open platform.

suddenly see the light.

Looking at the scene in front of him, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Urken couldn't help but squinted his eyes to cover the tears that almost overflowed. Because of the long-lost sight in front of him, he couldn't help it when he saw it for the second time. Feeling shocked and surging.

A huge and magnificent tree, as if supporting the sky and the earth, appeared before the eyes of the red-haired elf.

In the center of a huge underground cave that is so vast that there is no end in sight, stands a huge stone tree. It supports this underground world and is surrounded by turquoise light. The stone tree seems to be breathing, driving it all the time. A fresh wind spread in all directions, even at the edge of the underground cave, Urken felt a breath of familiarity, nostalgia, and kindness.

Although the last elven dynasty used all means to destroy all the books and inheritance, and wanted to bring the past of the elves into the grave of death with itself, there are always some legends and myths in this world that can never be forgotten, just like After tens of thousands of years, the inheritance of fire and steel still exists. There is such a big tree in the memories of all the elves.

A big tree that breeds everything, represents the origin of elves, and ignites the fire of their civilization.

Tianyuan sacred tree.
