Chapter 625 The Demise of the Dead Tree
After the Holy Lord gave the order, Melina thought of secretly running over to protect Celia.

But this matter encountered great resistance.

Not to mention that her actions were being watched by the elves, even within the Holy Court and the Knights of the Law, many people opposed Melina's actions.

Because of the situation at the border, a sixth-tier mage is needed to oversee the situation, and Melina, as the Grand Master of the Knights of Law, is the most suitable candidate.

Furthermore, since she has already appeared at the border, if she were to disappear, it would certainly provoke various reactions from the Elven race.

So she spent some time making preparations at the border, and then pretended to return to the Holy Court to report for a while, but there was still resistance from within.

It wasn't until news of Celia's first assassination attempt reached her through a conversation between Celia and Benovia that she received the Holy Lord's permission to secretly enter the Elven territory.

That's right. When Celia was assassinated for the second time and her fate was unknown in front of everyone, Melina was actually present, but she did not intervene.

because--

'Celia' told her not to make a move.

Melina recalled that before Celia was assassinated, she had sent a puppet to find her in the shadows and tell her not to take action. Melina was surprised that Celia could find her, and she was also very puzzled by Celia's actions.

Only now, with the changes occurring within the Deadwood Organization, has she understood Celia's plan.

"Although we don't know how Celia caused the problem with the withered tree, the fact that the withered tree attempted to assassinate Celia in public would only severely damage the prestige of the Elven race. It's probably a good thing we didn't stop it..."

"But this time, even if Celia comes again, I can't stand by and watch."

A fifth-tier assassination attempt is dangerous enough, but now a sixth-tier one has appeared. Melina can no longer stand idly by.

"But there's a problem. Shadow mages are skilled at stealth, so how to prevent assassination attempts is a big issue."

Melina fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, she sensed something, paused for a moment, and then looked into the distance.

Following that inexplicable feeling, she directly unleashed a spell.

Under the holy light, a figure emerged from the shadows, looking in astonishment in her direction, seemingly puzzled as to why he had been suddenly exposed when he had been hiding all along and had no intention of killing anyone.

Melina flew to the other person and saw the withered figure. She raised an eyebrow and said, "It really is you, Disola. It seems that I am also fortunate to have received guidance from the gods."

The feeling was very peculiar, and Melina had no idea what it was. Then she thought of the 'divine guidance' that the saintesses often talked about.

"Only divine guidance can explain this situation, but we don't know which deity it is—the moon goddess or the goddess of fate?"

Melina thought to herself, smiling as she looked at Disola, whose rank was already showing signs of falling below the sixth rank after a large amount of her withered power had been drained away.

When Desola saw Melina, his expression changed.

"Melina, it's you! How dare you enter elven territory? Aren't you afraid of starting a war between races?"

Melina sneered: "When you assassinated our Holy Maiden, didn't you ever think that such an act would provoke a racial war?"

Desola looked at Melina. If he were in his prime, he wouldn't be afraid at all, but now, he was afraid he was no match for Melina.

Disola snorted coldly: "I see. But since you're here to protect the Holy Maiden, why are you blocking my way? Aren't you afraid of being surrounded and attacked by us?"

If a Tier 6 weapon enters another country's territory secretly without permission, it's its own fault if it gets besieged. This is a universally accepted rule, since Tier 6 weapons are considered strategic weapons, and if they were to take action, they could easily wipe out a city.

Even large cities like the Elf King's City and the Watcher's City couldn't withstand the bombardment of a sixth-tier mage.

Of course, no sixth-tier mage has ever done this before, not even a sixth-tier heretic has ever personally massacred a city.

Although this situation has never occurred before, countries must take precautions.

A sixth-tier mage entering another empire is like a nuclear bomb that could explode at any moment flying around your doorstep; no matter what, you can't feel at ease. Melina looked at Disola and said calmly, "Why should I stop you? That depends on why you came to Watchtower City. You can't be here to catch up with Monris, can you? I don't remember him being on good terms with you."

"What does this have to do with you? This is elven territory. Do I need a Holy See bishop like you to tell me where I want to go?"

Melina crossed her arms and looked at Disola's empty sleeves with amusement.

She would not take action on foreign soil unless absolutely necessary.

Fortunately, she could tell that Disola was not in good condition at all.

If we can stall for a while and wait until his rank drops below the sixth level, his threat to Celia will be greatly reduced. At that time, even if I do nothing, I'm afraid he will have a hard time threatening Celia as she slowly recovers.

"I see. I didn't say I would interfere with what you do. As long as you don't do anything to Celia, you can go wherever you want. Please do as you please."

After Melina finished speaking, she vanished in a flash.

She couldn't stay too long, or she would attract the attention of a sixth-tier elven mage.

Seeing Melina leave, Disola's expression was uncertain.

A moment later, he relayed Melina's message to the Elf King, and then said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, the mission has failed."

The Elf King replied, "Come back. I will take care of Melina's matter."

Melina didn't need to lift a finger; upon seeing her, Disola knew she had no chance to act.

Now that the other party has appeared, they will naturally not give him any more opportunities to get close to Celia.

Disola looked towards the City of Watchers, gritted her teeth, and finally turned back unwillingly towards the Elf Forest.

Of course, before leaving, he also told the other sixth-tier elves about Melina, asking them to come and search for her.

We may not be able to find them, but at least we won't let them be so arrogant in the Elven territory.

the other side.

After surviving for several more hours, the withered tree still couldn't find a solution and could only watch itself slowly disappear.

Disola returned to the dead tree's stronghold, beneath the sacred tree.

He gathered the few remaining personnel.

Everyone sat quietly around the roots of the sacred tree, silently waiting for their departure.

No one spoke, and no one lost their temper.

After using the power of withering, they anticipated that their lives could be lost at any moment.

Even though they couldn't accept the way the person died, they eventually accepted it after trying everything they could to save them.

Disola watched quietly as the last member of the Deadwood disappeared, and seeing that only his head remained, he sighed softly.

"I never imagined that a dead tree could be destroyed in this way."

The Elf King arrived here in the final moments before Disola's departure, watching Disola slowly disappear.

Finally, he waved to Desola: "Goodbye, dear Desola."

Goodbye, Your Majesty.
