Necromancer: A New Era

In the remote and mysterious tribe of natural elves, the Ancient Tree of Life is the source of all things. Its luxuriant branches and leaves and deep roots seem to carry the past, present and future of the entire tribe. Today, a solemn and grand sacrificial ceremony is being held under the Ancient Tree of Life to express gratitude and awe to the God of Life, and to commemorate the deceased tribesmen, praying that their souls can return to the embrace of the Ancient Tree of Life.

The sun shines through the branches and leaves, and shines on the altar. The golden light blends with the surrounding green, creating a sacred and solemn atmosphere. The granddaughter of the old patriarch, wearing a very dignified and elegant dress, slowly walks up to the altar. Her eyes are firm and deep, as if she can see through the mist of time and have a conversation with her ancient ancestors.

At the center of the altar, there were several remains, all of which were elves who had made outstanding contributions to the tribe. On the chest of one of the remains, there lay a beautiful brooch, which was the favorite ornament of the old patriarch's lover. The brooch seemed to carry a deep affection that transcended time and space, witnessing the unswerving love between the old patriarch and his lover.

The elf girl came to the altar barefoot, her eyes lingering on the remains, especially when she saw the brooch, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. But she quickly calmed down, because she knew that today's sacrifice was not only to commemorate the past, but also for the future of the tribe.

Below the altar, countless elves knelt around, their eyes full of solemnity and awe. With the change of horn and drum sounds, the sacrificial ceremony officially began. The girl took a deep breath and began her sacrificial dance.

Her dancing posture is light and graceful, like a fluttering butterfly, flying freely under the protection of the ancient tree of life. Each of her movements contains profound meaning, a sincere prayer to the God of Life, and a deep remembrance of her deceased tribe members. Her fingers dance lightly, as if drawing beautiful patterns in the air. That is the unique language of the natural elves, and their ode to the God of Life.

As the dance progressed, the girl's mood gradually became more excited. Her steps became faster and faster, spinning, jumping, leaning... every movement was full of power and beauty. Her eyes flashed with a firm light, as if she was telling the God of Life about the group's firm belief and indomitable spirit.

The elves around were deeply moved by the girl's dance. They closed their eyes, as if they could feel the mysterious power from the ancient tree of life washing their souls. At this moment, all the elves seemed to merge with the God of Life, feeling the wonder and greatness of life together.

The dance reached its climax, and the girl suddenly flew into the air, her body drew a perfect arc in the air, and then slowly landed. At the moment she landed, countless green light spots suddenly emerged in the air around the altar, and these light spots gathered into a powerful energy that rushed straight into the sky. Under the influence of this energy, the branches and leaves of the ancient tree of life became more luxuriant, as if they were also cheering for this sacrificial ceremony.

As the energy dissipated, the girl's dance slowly came to an end. She stood in the center of the altar, breathing slightly, but her face was filled with satisfaction and pride. She knew that she had completed her mission and conveyed the voice of the tribe to the God of Life.

The elves around stood up one after another, clapping and cheering for the girl's wonderful performance. The old chief looked at his granddaughter, his eyes full of satisfaction and pride. He knew that his granddaughter had grown into a qualified priestess, and she would continue to lead the tribe towards a more prosperous future.

At the end of this sacrificial ceremony, the souls of those deceased tribesmen seemed to rest in peace. Their remains gradually turned into dust under the protection of the ancient tree of life, but their spirits will be forever engraved in the memory of the tribe, inspiring future generations to keep moving forward. And the exquisite brooch seemed to be shining with new light, witnessing the eternal faith and heritage of the natural elves.

Amidst the warm applause, the girl smiled and bowed to thank everyone. At this time, the old patriarch came forward and handed a treasure in his hand to the girl.

"This is the heirloom of our tribe - the Flute of Life," the old patriarch said solemnly, "Now, I pass it to you, hoping that you can use it to protect our homeland and continue our faith."

The girl took the Flute of Life, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. She knew very well that this treasure was of great significance, and she was determined not to disappoint her grandfather and the tribe.

As night fell, the girl played the flute of life beside the bonfire, and the melodious sound of the flute echoed in the forest. Accompanied by the music, the elves held hands and danced happily around the bonfire. They were grateful for the favor of the God of Life and prayed for their future life.

Under the moonlight, the brooch on the girl's chest shines with a faint light, as if silently telling the story of the natural elves. And this beautiful night will become an eternal memory in their hearts.

After three days of non-stop travel, Tang Yue and his companions finally arrived at the edge of the mysterious and ancient town of the elves. They were almost dusty and exhausted, but they had no time to care about their fatigue. As soon as they arrived at the city gate, Tang Yue eagerly said to the guarding elves: "Go quickly and inform your old patriarch that Tang Yue is back and has something important to discuss."

Not long after, the familiar figure of the old patriarch appeared in their sight. He walked over quickly, his face full of surprise and disbelief: "Tang Yue, benefactor, it's really you! You're back!"

Tang Yue smiled slightly, his eyes revealing determination and confidence: "Yes, I'm back. And I brought good news. I have found all the conditions needed to resurrect Ariel."

The old patriarch heard this and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He clearly remembered that the most difficult of all the conditions was the Ten Thousand Years Life Crystal. That was a treasure that could only be nurtured by a Ten Thousand Years Life Tree, and its rarity could be imagined. Moreover, it was extremely difficult to find it in such a short time.

However, Tang Yue's next move shocked him completely. Tang Yue slowly stretched out his hand, and a crystal clear gem that exuded a strong breath of life appeared in his hand. It was the legendary Ten Thousand Years of Life Crystal!

The old patriarch, with an extremely pious attitude, trembled as he reached out and carefully stroked the legendary gemstone. Every line seemed to be telling a mysterious story from ten thousand years ago. The breath of life, pure and powerful, slowly flowed out of the gemstone and filled the air.

"This... this is actually true!" The old patriarch was so excited that his voice changed, as if he couldn't believe the miraculous scene before his eyes, "You really found the legendary Ten Thousand Years of Life Crystal!"

Tang Yue's eyes flashed with determination, and he nodded heavily: "Yes, now everything is ready, just waiting for the final east wind. I also ask the old patriarch to help me arrange the mysterious resurrection ceremony. I have already notified the semi-god-level elves, and they will come at dawn tomorrow."

The old patriarch took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down from the shock and excitement. He knew very well how great a responsibility he was shouldering at this moment. "My benefactor, please relax." He said solemnly, "I will start preparing for the ceremony immediately, and everything will go according to plan. You can go with my granddaughter to rest, she will arrange everything for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old patriarch turned and hurried away. His back looked particularly firm in the afterglow of the setting sun. Tang Yue and his companions stood there, watching this admirable old man.

At this moment, a subtle and timid voice broke the brief silence: "You...are you Tang Yue?"

Tang Yue turned around and saw the face of a pretty and slightly shy girl. He remembered this girl. When he rescued her, she was still in a confused state. He didn't expect that she had recovered now.

"You've recovered?" Tang Yue's tone revealed a hint of surprise.

The girl nodded, her eyes sparkling with gratitude: "Thank you for saving my life, and thank you for helping my tribe find this precious crystal of life!"

"This is just an exchange between each other. You don't need to be so polite." Tang Yue said with a smile.

However, the elf girl didn't seem to care about his modesty. She walked forward and bowed deeply: "Benefactor, my name is Elena. Grandpa has prepared a place for you to rest. Please follow me!"

Tang Yue looked at Tiffany and Minglong beside him, and a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes. Then he nodded and said to Elena: "Okay, then I'll trouble you to lead the way." After that, he followed the elf girl into the city. We haven't had a good rest for a long time.
