"Just tell me what you want!"

The beautiful woman said, "Once you advance to the Saint rank, you will soon become an elder of the tribe. As an elder, you will have access to most of the tribe's resources."

"However, some rare resources are not even available in the tribe."

"Only those who make extremely significant contributions can receive allocations from the royal family."

"Perfect timing, I also have some connection with royalty."

Wendy did not doubt the truthfulness of these words.

Among the dark elves.

The Dark Tree of Life holds a revered position.

Not to mention royalty, even the Dark Elf Queen would have to show her respect.

Wendy speculates...

The "relationship" that the mother mentioned should be related to the Mother Goddess Tree in the royal city.

That Mother Tree is the oldest Tree of Life among the Dark Elves. It is said to have lived for thousands of years, existing even before the elven empire was destroyed.

Some speculate that the Mother Tree has been upgraded to the level of a divine tree.

Because it broke the lifespan limit of intelligent races.

Nowadays, almost all of the Tree of Life of the Dark Elves are planted from seeds cultivated by the Mother Tree.

In other words.

This mother of their tribe also has to call the Mother Tree "Mother".

If we consider blood ties among humans, these dark elves would even have to call the Mother Tree "Grandma."

Of course, this title does not exist among the elves.

You can simply address your mother as "Dear Mother" in your normal way.

Furthermore, the dark elves born from the Mother Tree are the so-called royalty. Compared to 'ordinary' dark elves, these dark elves possess greater talent.

Wendy said, "Mother, the Holy Water of Life is a rare treasure that surpasses most cultivation resources; its effects are extraordinary."

"You're right."

The beautiful woman nodded.

The holy water of life is a treasure for spiritual practice.

Under normal circumstances, no one would be willing to exchange the Holy Water of Life for other cultivation resources; that would be putting the cart before the horse, losing the watermelon to pick up a sesame seed.

The beautiful woman sighed inwardly.

After hearing what Wendy said, she felt that she was probably destined to miss out on the Holy Water of Life.

But at this moment.

Wendy spoke up, "Mother, I do have some Holy Water of Life left. Although it's not much, I can give it to you free of charge!"

Upon hearing this...

The beautiful woman's eyes lit up immediately.

Unexpectedly, things could take a turn for the better.

The beautiful woman said gently, "Wendy, the Holy Water of Life is incredibly rare. You'll need it even when you advance to the demigod realm. I can't take something so precious from you for nothing. I can exchange it with other treasures."

Wendy said, "Mother, I don't know what I need..."

After a brief pause.

Wendy added, "If we're really going to make a trade, I'd like to exchange the Holy Water of Life for a few seeds of the Dark Tree of Life for my tribe!"

"..."

The beautiful woman raised her eyebrows slightly, her face showing reluctance.

She never expected her child to be so outrageous, wanting to exchange for the seed of the Dark Tree of Life, something extremely rare even in the royal city.

Currently, only the Mother Tree can nurture the seeds of the Dark Tree of Life.

Once a seed is successfully cultivated, it will be controlled by the royal family and will not easily be leaked out.

the most important is.

Wendy actually wanted a few more.

This would require a whole vat of holy water to obtain.

"Wendy, you're a good girl."

"but……"

The beautiful woman had a headache.

Wendy exchanged the Holy Water of Life for the seed of the Dark Tree of Life, her purpose being to strengthen the tribe. She was very pleased with this selfless dedication and consideration for the tribe.

But things are a bit tricky.

If it were anything else, the royal family would definitely give her face.

This is also one of the privileges of their Dark Tree of Life.

They rarely use it, but once they do, the royal family will do their best to satisfy them.

But the seeds of the Dark Tree of Life...

Even seeking help from royalty won't get you this.

The only options are to find the Mother Tree or the Dark Elf Queen.

There's only one way...

The beautiful woman pondered for a long time before saying, "I need enough Holy Water of Life to help me advance to the level of a demigod. Once I advance to demigod, I can apply to the Mother Tree for the seed of the Dark Tree of Life."

Wendy's heart skipped a beat, and she asked, "What's the maximum number of these that Mother can apply for?"

"At most, you can only apply for two seeds."

The beautiful woman said, "If you want more seeds, you must exchange them for a lot of resources."

"But that's not worth it, because it takes hundreds of years for a seed to grow to the point where it can nurture elves. In that long time, the resources would be enough to cultivate multiple Saint-level powerhouses, or even demigods."

"All right."

Wendy looked helpless.

But inside, I was incredibly excited.

She found a way to obtain 'more' Dark Tree of Life seeds.

She didn't even need to go to the capital in person.

There's no need to worry about losing your life due to your identity being exposed.

She only needs to help her mother advance to the demigod level to obtain two seeds. Then she can look for opportunities, or try to exchange the Holy Water of Life for more seeds.

Of course, this kind of thing still requires the mother to step in.

Wendy thought to herself, "Helping Mother ascend to demigod status isn't dangerous. Given the relationship between me, Mother, and the tribe, the chances of Mother betraying me are slim."

"The danger lies in what happens next..."

"Even if Mother has no intention of harming me, the royal city will still send people down to investigate."

"Never mind."

"Getting two is better than nothing!"

Wendy then looked at the beautiful woman.

While mentally simulating a small bucket several tens of centimeters tall, she asked, "Mother, is this holy water of life enough for you to advance to demigodhood?"

The beautiful woman glanced at the small bucket and then said, "At least three buckets of this amount of Holy Water are needed."

Upon hearing this, Wendy was immediately relieved.

The large wooden tub that His Majesty the Elf King gave her was four meters high and two meters in diameter.

The container was filled to the brim with the holy water of life.

The little bit of holy water that her mother needed was just a drop in the ocean for her.

Wendy said to the beautiful woman, "Although I don't have much of my Holy Water of Life, I'm willing to contribute if it can help Mother ascend to demigodhood and bring a more prosperous future to the tribe!"

"Wendy, your wish will come true!"

The beautiful woman, deeply moved, said to Wendy, "The tribe will never forget your contributions. If you're willing, I will help you become the tribe's next chieftain!"

Wendy's expression froze for a moment.

She then said with immense excitement, "It is my honor, Mother!"

"good!"

The beautiful woman nodded and said, "I will talk to Casey about this."

Wendy asked, "Mother, how long will it take to advance to the demigod realm?" The beautiful woman smiled and said, "I reached the peak of the Saint rank hundreds of years ago, and my understanding of the laws is already very profound. Now, I only need a boost, and I may be able to directly master the laws and advance to the demigod realm."

"If everything goes smoothly, I should be able to emerge from seclusion in three to five days at the shortest!"

Wendy breathed a sigh of relief.

Three to five days is nothing.

She can't wait a year or two.

Even if she could wait, His Majesty the Elf King would probably grow impatient and think she was incompetent.

Wendy said, "Mother, you have accumulated enough experience, and you will surely be able to advance to demigod smoothly! In that case, please wait a moment, Mother, I will be right back."

"OK!"

The beautiful woman nodded.

Wendy then left the consciousness space.

Then she returned to her treehouse, where she first crafted a small bucket three times its original size, and then filled it with the holy water of life. She dared not show this process to her mother.

If her mother were to see that enormous wooden barrel in her spatial storage, she might actually get envious.

She simply couldn't explain it.

Looking at the bucket filled with the holy water of life before him, Wendy thought to himself, "Compared to going to the royal city to find another way, it is safest to make a deal with Mother."

"At least I don't have to worry about being double-crossed."

"Furthermore, having Mother standing in front can greatly reduce the risk of alarming the royal family."

As they spoke, Wendy returned to the Dark Tree of Life once more.

The holy water of life was handed to the beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman was clearly excited and said to Wendy, "Once I advance to demigod status, I will do everything in my power to help you grow. The entire tribe will never forget you!"

Wendy said, "Mother, it's what I should do!"

"Okay, then you'll have to wait for my good news!"

The beautiful woman then returned to her original body with the holy water of life.

Wendy also turned and left.

Back in the treehouse, she pondered to herself, "The seed of the Dark Tree of Life is sorted out. Once I get it, I'll hand it over to His Majesty the Elf King immediately. As for Mother and the tribe, it won't be difficult to find an excuse to delay, such as wanting to study the mysteries of the seed. The tribe won't force me to plant it immediately..."

"Now all that's left is the magic circle diagram for the warship."

"The tribe built a warship for the capital many years ago, but we don't know if any blueprints of the magic array have been preserved, even if they are incomplete, they could be given to Sera for reference..."

"I'll go to the tribe's secret vault tomorrow to search."

"I have already advanced to the Saint rank and am about to become an elder of the tribe, so I should have the authority to enter the secret vault."

At that moment, Wendy took out a pink petal from her personal spatial equipment.

This is a remote communication magic device that she got from Ifra.

After hesitating for a moment.

Wendy then put the pink petals away.

"Let's wait until we have definite news about the seeds before contacting His Majesty the Elf King."

"So that things don't fall apart and disappoint His Majesty..."

Without thinking further, Wendy took out a cup of holy water and drank it, quickly entering a state of deep meditation.

the other side.

The beautiful woman also began her seclusion.

The dark tree of life, with its lush foliage, radiates a shimmering glow from every leaf.

……

The Demonized Forest.

The five elven legions set up camp in the nearby mountains and forests.

There were a large number of elven huntresses setting up magical traps around them.

There were also Saint-level experts setting up magical restrictions and barriers containing various elemental mysteries.

This move has only one purpose: to build a defensive line.

After a long day of fierce fighting, the elves also needed to rest.

Throughout the day, the elves on the battlefield were almost constantly fighting, without even time to eat or drink. Although the Holy Water of Life and the elven spring water could restore their condition, they were still mentally exhausted.

The most important thing.

At night, evil and dark forces erode the entire world.

The monsters will become extremely frenzied, and their combat power will double.

It would be unwise to engage in battle with a tidal wave of monsters under these circumstances, since the monsters in this demonized forest far surpass those in the swamp area in both number and strength.

In addition, the battlefield in the rear also needs to be cleared.

Today, the elven army slayed a massive number of monsters and beasts; countless undead creatures will surely be transformed out tonight.

Clearing out those undead creatures is also a huge undertaking.

So the elven army simply built a defensive line and focused on clearing the rear, deciding to continue their attack tomorrow.

……

"Your Majesty~"

"Roughly estimated, our army has killed at least six million monsters today, and has collected more than twenty million energy crystals, as well as nearly one million three hundred thousand magic cores."

"Elves and high-level undead creatures are still cleaning up the battlefield."

"The total harvest of energy crystals is estimated to exceed 27 million..."

At the army camp, beside a blazing campfire.

Lin Yi was roasting animal legs, while Secretary Anna stood to the side giving a post-battle report.

Lin Yi was very happy after hearing this.

The plan to attack the Demon Forest was indeed correct; the spoils gained in one day were almost equivalent to the elven army's gains in the previous two or three days.

Lin Yi asked, "What are our losses?"

Anna replied, "Thirteen thousand elves perished, over two thousand treant warriors were killed, and more than two hundred hippogriff riders were also lost..."

"good!"

Lin Yi nodded.

Compared to the results and gains, this loss is nothing.

Upon returning to his territory, he resurrected the fallen elves and hippogriff riders, granting them more powerful classes as compensation and reward.

As for the fallen treant warriors...

Just have the elven priests convert them again.

There are also many ancient trees in this demonized forest, so there is no shortage of materials to transform into tree warriors.

Lin Yi said, "Have the elves clean up the battlefield as soon as possible. I will be returning to my territory shortly."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Anna respectfully complied.

After Anna left, Lin Yi continued to roast the golden-brown animal leg over the campfire, sprinkling various seasonings on it, and the aroma immediately filled the air.

After Lin Yi had satisfied her appetite, the battlefield was basically cleaned up.

Lin Yi took the two pieces of spatial equipment handed to him by Anna and instantly teleported back to his territory hundreds of kilometers away.

Almost at the same time.

Lin Yi received a message from Medusa Daphne.

Daphne returned to the Mermaid Islands in the afternoon and found that none of the mermaids had any marks on them.

This infuriated Daphne.

I have a feeling of betrayal.

She informed Lin Yi.

She was preparing to make her move against the mermaid clan leader, who was currently in seclusion.
