As for Neh's ending, William had already known it from the Iron Widow Elle and the captured Tacoma member.

  After William left that year, Neh first returned to Ravenwood Forest, and left sadly after his request to return to the ranks of Forest Druids failed. The last record of him that can be found on Vic Continent is that he bought a sailboat in Green Water Harbor and sailed into the misty sea and disappeared off the coast.

  According to the iron-hearted widow Elle and the members of the Tacoma Order, Neh went to the Ruins of Ossis in the west after leaving the Vic Continent. There, he had a fierce conflict with the Tacoma, and eventually died because he was outnumbered, with no bones left. The "Judgment Three" symbolized by the members of the Tribunal in Neh's hands also fell into the hands of the Tacoma Order, and became a bond and bargaining chip for them to cooperate with the Iron Heart Widow in the future.

  If these things are true, then Nehh should be the first member of the Tribunal to actually leave the court besides William. Because the age is too long, coupled with the deliberate destruction of the Star Council's Book Burning Movement, there are basically no more records about him in the documents that can be found today.

   Even if William continued to interrogate the captured Tacoma member, the last battle at the Ruins of Ossis happened about a hundred years ago before the other party joined the Tacoma order. No matter how William was sentenced, the other party could only tell himself helplessly, because of the intelligence control principles within the Tacoma Sect, he only knew the final result of that battle.

  Because there is too little information that can be confirmed at present, William has always been reluctant to guess the reason behind all this. This is to prevent himself from acting because of his preconceived impressions, as he did in the Jackdaw Coles incident, and then almost causing disaster.

In retrospect, Neh, who always claimed to be a sinner and only wanted to sprinkle his ashes around the World Tree, would really return to Ravenwood Forest in vain for the reason of "hoping to become a forest druid again". ?

   Besides, why did he go to the Ruins of Ossis alone across the sea? And why did they meet so many members of the Tacoma order there, and there were endless conflicts? And the most important thing—the phylactery that was thrown into the sea by William along the underground river, why did it appear here?

Thinking of this, William pressed his hand again on the barrier that had been strengthened by [Anti-Entropy], and took a deep breath—no matter how many doubts he had right now, he still got the phylactery first. .

  …

  When Ebony ran to the tree hole, he happened to see the barrier that the truth should never be able to pass through, and it shattered in that person's chant.

   And the fragments of the enchantment did not retrace, but dissipated directly. At the same time, the huge magic power contained in the enchantment turned into a biting cold wind and swept the entire tree hole. He involuntarily raised his arm to cover his eyes, and after a while, he felt that the wind had subsided before he put his hand down.

   "You should have told me this earlier."

  The man's voice, as if he was holding back some emotion, came from the tree hole.

  Ebony seemed to hear his teeth chattering.

   And the reason he shivered was definitely not from the cold.

   "But how...how do you do it?"

   It took a long time for Ebony to recover from his shock or fear, and he asked dumbfounded.

  The outermost two of the three seals were added by himself after he chose this place as the base for gathering the rebel forces. It's purely as an early warning.

   But the innermost barrier is the real guardian system that has been passed down in this big tree hole for more than a thousand years. Except for the listeners who have served as the "big mother", no one should have permission to open it.

  The man didn't answer his question, just turned his head and glanced at himself, and then walked into the deepest part of the big tree hole without looking back.

   Ebony who was standing outside immediately followed.

   It’s important to know that this tree hole is not just a place for him to store things, but more importantly, to protect that…

   However, since the other party is the one predicted by the "big mother" in the revelation, the chosen one who will save the entire forest elves family. Then he certainly won't hurt the one inside...

   An ebony tree of indescribable fear suddenly surged in his heart, comforting himself in this way.

   Until now, Ebony seemed to realize what he was doing before - he actually let an outsider who had just met not long ago come to this place.

   came to the place where the core of the World Tree was placed.

  Compared to the importance of this place, the conflict between himself and the Duke of Sacred Tree, and even the conflict between the forest elves and the empire, is a trivial matter.

  No, in the final analysis, he is still too confident about the third barrier that absolutely no one can break, but only as a "big mother" listener.

   That is the absolute barrier that no one can break through in the entire world. It is the last thing that the former sinner did for the entire Ravenwood before he exiled himself in order to atone for his sins.

   But today, the barrier imposed by Neh the Frost Witch himself was broken... Who is this man? Could it be that he is Neh himself?

   Yes, it seems that there is only this possibility, only he can break his own seal. And that excited attitude after learning that his phylactery was here...

   But according to the records, isn't Neh a forest elf?

   Even if the opponent is a lich, he can't change his body without a phylactery...

When Ebony walked nervously to the deepest part of the tree hole, he happened to see the man standing in front of the shrine at the end of the tree hole and picked up the black box full of corrosion marks - that thing, It is one of the rewards that Ebony promised to the other party earlier, the phylactery of Frost Witch Neh.

But the other party's eyes were not looking at the black wooden box in his hand, but at the shrine not far away—it may not be quite right to say that it is a shrine, at least this is an imported word from human society. There is no place in the forest spirit culture to enshrine the gods and gods. Because anyone can see the towering World Tree as soon as they look up.

   All in all, in the deepest part of the tree hole, in the reflection of the man's eyes, an ordinary acorn was supported by two spirally entangled branches.

   One of the two branches showed a bright green color that had just budded, and the other was a dry and cracked branch.

   "I should have recalled where this place is..."

  William turned his head to look at Ebony who was standing behind him.

   "This is where the core of the World Tree is placed, isn't it?"

   asked William.

   "You...know what that thing is?"

  Ebony asked nervously.

  If the other party is really Neh...a blasphemous lich, then bringing a lich here is already a capital crime.

   "More than knowing... Did you see the withered root?"

  William ignored the subtle expression on the other's face, and instead pointed to the dry branch holding the oak fruit and asked.

   Ebony nodded subconsciously.

   "I killed that one."

   William replied.

"what?"

   Thought he had just heard it wrong, Ebony just made a monotonous questioning sound.

"The 'Blooming Calamity' based on the Holy Spirit's 'Mother' started to spread from the World Tree in Ravenwood. In the end, I was stabbed with the poisonous blade of the rotten lady. The incarnation of the disaster—that is, the personification of the 'big mother' you believe in, or the personification of the 'mother' in the words of the Holy Spirit Church. In the end, the spread of the disaster was successfully prevented, and afterwards, the World Tree The core of it also withered away."

   Seeing that the other party was stunned, William continued to explain.

   The huge information in the other party's words made Ebony feel dizzy for a while. He had to take a few steps back, holding on to the wall made of twisted roots to stabilize his vain footsteps.

   After being silent for a while, he said with great difficulty:

   "Then your name is..."

  Even before the other party was on the road, Ebony had asked the other party's name many times, but the other party just replied, and he would not tell himself until he confirmed that the reward was true.

   And now, the other party kept his promise.

   "William Kane, in your prophecy, will save twice and destroy the people of Ravenwood twice."
