Chapter 1056

"I finally found it!" Elder Ceo stated as she held up a seed that is as large as a baseball.

Levin Cloud's face when he saw the seed immediately became noteworthy. That seed is a special seed that could be said as a way for the dryads or leshies to be reborn. It is not a rebirth where they are dead one revives but a new dryad or leshy will grown from them when planted by another of their race.

One can even say that it is something called a graft of the dryad or leshy. It can only be done when the dryad or leshy has reached at least a thousand years old and they can only do the process one time. This is a reason why some dryads or leshies have children even though they do not have partners.

"Is that the will that the previous guardian left that you have been raving about?" Levin Cloud asked.

"Yes! The guardian said that this will provide us with new hope as long as we plant this and give it lots of love." Elder Ceo but Levin Cloud does not know how can a none Leshy or Dryad make it bloom. One of the requirements for it is their blood.

"That is not just a will, but one could say that is the seed that will grow into a dryad or a leshy. One would need assistance for it to truly bloom though." Levin Cloud stated which made the others get shocked.

"If that is the case, can the esteemed guardian help us grow our next guardian?" Elder Ceo stated.

"I do not mind but you must bear in mind that the leshy or dryad that grows from this seed will have resemblance to your deceased guardian. You must also bear in mind that the one that grows from this seed will not have the memories of your deceased guardian. You must treat the being that grows from this as a new entity and not mistake it with the previous guardian." Levin Cloud stated with a firm tone as he is serious.

"I promise! This child is the one that the previous guardian has left us. The child will be protected by us even if it means our lives." Elder Ceo stated as she wants the guardian that grows from this seed to have as much of their life to themself as possible. She wants to pay the gratitude that the previous guardian has given her.

"If that is the case then I will gladly help you." Levin Cloud assured them.

"We found the documents! It is written in a language that is unfamiliar for me though." Creepysoo stated as he presented the written history of the Elven Rider.

"It is written in our older language that we use. I can read it to all of you if you want but do not expect an exact translation as we rarely use this tongue anymore." Elder Ceo stated as she got the documents and started to transcribe it.

"An archer with an arrow that seeks it target despite the distance. She holds the mist itself in her body and uses it as a weapon to apply detriments to the enemies. The mist that once plagued her kin is now used upon those that wished them harm.

The mist that is said to have been plagued by the energy of death that brings strife is used as her greatest weapon. She used it to destroy the invaders from afar that wanted to destroy the forest filled with mist. It was she that first drove them away with just her arrows filled with great might.

She took the call of the numerous gods from outside the forest to defend her people. In the end, she was betrayed by those that seek her aid as the light from the gods also hid a darker side. To our descendants that reads this, do not trust those beings that are said to be the guiding light."

[You have unlocked the hidden content related to the Rider of the South.]

[You have found a part of the trace regarding the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.]

[You have found two of the four parts. Find the other two in order to complete the trace.]

The document's letters then glowed in a golden light and became imprinted on the air. All three of them suddenly got a copy of the document in their inventories. They rejoiced as they have completed the mission that they went to the south for. Although it took a bit of time, they still got the part of the trace within a short time.

Upon reading the document, Elder Ceo immediately knew that the light that they are saying here is the Church of Light. It was them that recruited their ancestor to battle against the forces of the dark gods, yet it was also them that betrayed them in the end. It seems that their grudges against the Church of Light members are not unwarranted.

Upon getting what they needed and even getting all the documents that are still readable, the group returned to the village. They had an easier time returning because the death of the Corrupted Mist Mane Lion also disrupted the monsters that wanted to go to the ruined settlement.

The mist elves had a longing look when they were about to leave their first settlement. They knew that they cannot move back to this location as it is now in ruins. All the documents in the hidden room are also brought back with them. They bid farewell to their ruined settlement as they know that the young mist elves could never live back in this dangerous location.

They returned to the settlement with tired expressions as they also needed to be wary. Elder Ceo then presented the seed to Levin Cloud as he led them to the center of the settlement. The large tree that was destroyed back then is the real body of the deceased guardian. It seems that the seed also wanted to be planted at the center of the settlement like its parent.

"We trust you esteemed guardian. This will be a great favor we are asking of you. Please remember that we Mist Elves will be at your call whenever you are in the Misty Forest." Elder Ceo stated.

[You have gained the absolute trust of the Mist Elves.]

[You can get aide from them whenever you are inside the Misty Forest.]

[You can mobilize up to a hundred mist elves at a time when inside the Misty Forest.]

"Do not worry about it. Our kind is also in the decline which is why my elders will also be glad that another of our kind will be born. I shall now start the process. Guardian of the Forest!" Levin Cloud stated as he once again activated his skill that transforms him into his true form.

The mist elves gathered among them and are at awe at the form that Levin Cloud has taken. It was as beautiful and terrifying to them even to those that have seen it for the second time. Levin Cloud then took the seed and carefully dug the ground as if he was the gentlest being that came to life.

When the hole was deep enough, he placed the seed in a gentle manner and cut out his arm that looks like a trunk. A vibrant green liquid came out of the cut and had the same consistency as sap, but it is actually Levin Cloud's blood. A few good drops of his blood also permeated into the ground and made the entire forest surrounding the settlement glow in a beautiful green hue.

Just as the rumors say, the blood of the Guardians of the Forest could easily grow back or heal a diseased forest. The enchantment that the willows provided became stronger while they also became enhanced. The life energy that Levin Cloud is also so potent that the grass and flowers that grew inside the settlement became bigger and more beautiful.

Levin Cloud closed the hole with his hands in a gentle manner as he made sure that seed has been reinvigorated. The forest that made up the settlement suddenly made an atmosphere that is very pleasant as if it is welcoming someone new. The ground suddenly trembled as a small tree suddenly sprouted from the location where the seed is planted.

The small tree was only a meter tall at first, but it suddenly grew bigger and bigger until it was at least three meters tall. The tree that grew from the seed resembled a pink willow tree as well as it has the appearance of the ones that surround the village. A few leaves dropped down from the tree itself and a humanoid child is generated from it.

The humanoid child looked like a small female child at the age of ten. She curiously looked at the world around her and her vision then locked onto Levin Cloud.

"Dada!" The small dryad shouted with glee.
