The researcher's first reaction was to suspect that he was dazzled.

Not long ago, in the process of watching the screen recording a few times back and forth, he had been studying the small piece of mother tree trunk leaking from the window for a long time.

But no matter how he looked at it, he always felt that it was just a common sight after the trunk of the tree became knotted, and there were more or less things on every tree that didn't look neat.

The traces of magic runes that can be seen from it may just be the effect of poor vision, all due to his good choice of angle at this time.

I just don’t know if the room that is too empty and nothing will give people a sense of oppression. Out of subconscious resistance to the severely damaged walls and floors, I have looked at the room with monotonous colors many times. Looking at the blurred magic runes on the screen at this time, the researcher really felt that the God of Nature in the past might really leave the message on the mother tree.

...After all, compared to the room in front of me that has experienced a devastating disaster and has been thoroughly swept back and forth by the gods, the mother tree that appeared in the Tremer era and is said to be connected to the life of the god of nature in the past is more reliable , can even leave traces of the God of Nature.

The researcher picked up a pen, recorded the magic rune on the screen as it was on the paper, and then took a screenshot. Starting from the perspective of "this may be a magic rune left on purpose", he thought about what Tremer wanted at that time. What stays.

Based on the knowledge of other worlds they have access to so far, it shows that in the hands of magicians in other worlds, magic runes have only two functions: one is to form a magic circle with other magic runes and connection circuits, and the other is to form a magic circle with other magic runes. Magical runes are written together to form sentences, and the language used to express thoughts is formed by the function of words, which is spread among magicians.

The researcher is a little confused about the role of the magic rune discovered so far.

He compared the information in the database currently calculated, and wrote down the meaning of this magic rune on paper.Since there are no other magical runes found on the mother tree for reference, the researchers immediately continued to study the role of this rune from other aspects.

For example, its location in space.

Whether it exists as part of a magic rune or as a certain text in a message, if it is really a magic rune and not an illusion caused by visual aberration, then there may be other places in the mother tree. Under the premise of magic runes, it always has its own place among them.

Dozens of magic runes plus circuits with different patterns can form tens of thousands of different magic circles.

Dozens of magic runes are randomly arranged in reverse order, and a dozen sentences with completely different meanings can be formed.

Should the magic runes be arranged according to their position on the mother tree to form a sentence, or should they be arranged with the castle as the center and from distance to distance...Under the premise that the current understanding of elf culture is still unclear, and there is no other magic at hand Using runes as a reference, it is really difficult to pay attention to the arrangement of characters.For the time being, the researcher put aside this conjecture that is difficult to confirm the authenticity in the current situation, and turned to study another possibility that is easier to confirm the result, and observe whether there is a magic circle hidden on the mother tree.

Compared with those difficult-to-determined text sequences, the connection loops of the magic circle are much easier to identify than the former. Even if there are no other magic runes for reference, researchers can still identify them.

It is such a simple tree, even if it has the name of the elf mother tree at the same time, as a tree, the lines on it are very poor, and there are not many things that can be regarded as magic circuits, except for the gnarled trunk. , and only the leafy canopy remains.

The researcher found the previous video related to the mother tree, and began to compare and trace the layout of the branches and leaves of the crown and the direction of the texture of the trunk.Just halfway through the comparison with the not-so-complicated branches, he discovered something was wrong——

Without him, after these overlapping and staggered branches in space are compressed onto a piece of paper, it can be found that the growth of these branches is too regular.

There are not too many complicated branches and knots that make the branches distorted and ugly. They seem to have been specially trimmed by the owner, and they show a particularly regular beauty when compared with the drawing on flat paper.

It's like a carefully constructed magic circle.

The researcher looked at the appearance of the mother tree on the screen belatedly.Most of its well-developed root system is exposed outside the land, and the edge of the root system is almost equal to the width of the crown.According to the spatial position, recall the position of the magic rune on hand corresponding to the branch plan, it is just at the end of a certain loop.

"I finally know what the God of Nature left in the past. He left a magic circle for his descendants." Seeing that this desperate job was finally coming to an end, the researcher almost uttered in surprise Greet his colleagues.

Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.They followed around and looked at the researcher's screen.

"This can't be a coincidence." After listening to the other party's general description of the entire discovery process, someone in the room looked at the lines drawn on the paper according to the direction of the branches, and hesitated. He said aloud, "The conditions it discovered are really harsh. Rather than sorting out what it knows and leaving it to future generations, it is more like a carefully crafted puzzle to embarrass future generations."

Seriously speaking, no one would think that those textures on the trunk were the magical runes deliberately left by Tremer. Even if they suddenly saw the shadows of the runes, they would only think that these were their own illusions.

As long as they didn't deliberately observe this ruined laboratory with the intention of "must find something left by Tremer from this laboratory", they must have seen this so-called magic rune At that moment, he would feel like the God of Nature who witnessed all the destruction with his own eyes, thinking that these were just his own illusions, and so far he has not been able to find anything from the severely damaged research room.

The researcher who first discovered all this insisted on his own point of view: "But if it can be easily discovered by others, it is impossible for these things to survive the siege back then?"

"Although it's hard to find, it's a bit harder to find, but compared to the ending where all the hard work was destroyed in the hands of other gods, at least this way can pass things down."

"It makes sense. Compared with the research room with nothing, this mother tree that is said to have been left over from the beginning of the gods is indeed more reliable." Someone beside him couldn't help but echoed, but he looked at the paper. Looking at the magic circle with only lines, I don’t know where to associate it with a sense of familiarity, "And to be honest, I must have seen this magic circle before, and I always think it looks very familiar."

"I think so too...but it's normal."

... Their job is to sort out and record the information in the screen recording. For them, on the premise of dealing with so much work every day, it is really not uncommon to see the familiar magic circle.

More than a dozen pairs of eyes stared straight at the magic circle that was still drawn on the paper.

In the crowd, who was inspired by the non-standard lines drawn by hand, suddenly said: "Wait, is this the incomplete magic circle I saw from Francis last time?"

"I remember that in order to prevent mistakes, I checked the screenshots back and forth more than a dozen times, just for fear of something going wrong."

Different from other regular content, because of the importance of the incomplete magic circle in the follow-up plan, even they and others also spent a lot of thought on the magic circle.Those who have a better memory remember the general direction of the circuit after uploading all the content.

Although it has been a long time since the conversation between the two sides to cooperate and exchange information with each other, these researchers still have such a little impression of it now that someone can combine the two together at this time.

"It seems to be a bit like..." The computer next to it was caught by the mouse with quick eyes and hands, and opened the files that had been sorted out in the past.

The page quickly jumped to the incomplete magic circle obtained from Francis. Compared with the magic circle on the paper, which seemed to have only lines and loops, the two looked surprisingly consistent.

Researcher: "In that case, it's no wonder that the God of Nature at that time was besieged by the gods."

By now, the seemingly coincidental things on the mother tree should be confirmed to be the things that the God of Nature in the past really wanted to keep.

……

On the western coast of the empire, above the sea, after a not-so-short period of air travel, Borg finally arrived here in a hot air balloon with the player.

In fact, if these players hadn't suddenly become keen on collecting materials halfway, they might have arrived at the Fallen Ruins earlier.

On the gondola of the hot air balloon, Borg reluctantly stood in the only small space left in the big gondola, watching with some embarrassment the other players on the hot air balloon held the ropes and tied the strangely shaped raw materials on the side. One piece was tied to his feet, and he asked with difficulty: "Then what, is there really that 'sacred place' that you said is hidden below that will not be peeped by the gods?"

"Of course, it's hidden under the sea. As long as you encounter a dying person under the sea, you can successfully reach the 'Holy Land'." Between casual and outsiders revealing the information of the fallen relics, they will die and return to the birth point directly. , now most players also use "sacred land" to describe the fallen ruins.Hearing Borg's questioning voice of distrust again, considering the fragile heart of all NPCs that need to be cared for, the speaking player tied the ropes tightly bound with various materials to his feet, while patiently explaining to the other party .

"There are really legends hidden under this seabed. We have been on the same road for so long, you must believe us."

...Different from living humans, in order to prevent accidentally catching any garbage in the fallen ruins, Francis cannot accurately transfer the materials deliberately collected by the player to the fallen ruins at the moment they fall into the seabed.It is for this reason that nowadays players rely on ropes to completely bind the materials to themselves when transporting materials. The scene once looked like they were tired of work and wanted to commit suicide, which caused many nearby fishermen who occasionally saw all this to sigh .

Borg didn't dare answer aloud.

After all, the current appearance of the player really looks like those crazy people who jump into the river with a stone in their arms and keep trying to commit suicide because they are afraid that their death is not enough.

If he still remembered that he was bound by the transparent silk threads of the gods, not those Scientologists, he would have felt that it was these people in front of him who were stimulated by the evil deeds of the gods to want to die.

However, these players seemed to be unable to understand his anxiety. Seeing that he was silent, they greeted each other more actively: "My dear friend—Borg, don't just stand here, let's go together! Look for the 'Holy Land' that is not corrupted by the gods."

Looking at this creepy and enthusiastic appearance, he looks very much like those cultists who persuade people to die.

This frightened Borg subconsciously to use the self-created magic that allowed him to see the essence of the world clearly, and uncharacteristically ignored the silk thread tied to his body, and looked at the top of the players' heads in his first reaction, confirming that these Scientologists Have you been blinded by the false lies of the gods?

——These players are really normal.

After confirming this fact again, Borg finally held his trust in these players, turned his sights to the sea, and hesitated on the edge of the gondola.

The players on the side watched him dawdling for a long time, and couldn't hold back seeing this, for fear that the NPC in front of him would retreat and go home at such a time.Seeing that Borg stood there for a long time but didn't move, taking advantage of Borg's inattention, he quickly grabbed the opponent's arm and was about to jump down.

The ropes on the other end of his feet tied those precious materials and made them fall like people who fell to the bottom during bungee jumping. After a brief pause in the air for a few seconds, other players on the hot air balloon helped to lift them With the action of throwing the material out of the hanging basket, it fell straight to the bottom of the sea with the splash of water.

"Damn, I was tricked!"

Borg felt a sense of suffocation on the verge of death, and for the first time in his life, the elegant archmage imitated the tone of those Scientologists and burst out a curse in his heart.

Before the expression of grief and indignation could emerge from his face, the scene in front of him suddenly changed at this moment.The squeeze brought by the sea water completely subsided, he raised his eyes, and happened to meet a strange-shaped deep-sea fish not far away.

There has always been no light on the bottom of the sea, so these deep-sea creatures grow very casually.But now, even if the fallen ruins that glowed in the deep sea appeared on the bottom of the sea, their appearance was still weird to this great magician who had never seen these scenes.

Borg, who was still in a trance at first, was awakened from his trance by the strange fish not far away, and turned his head to look at the miraculous underwater town in front of him.

"Welcome to the Fallen Ruins."

With a long stack of contracts appearing in front of his eyes, the players who entered the Fallen Ruins next to him gritted their teeth at Borg and welcomed the quest NPC to his destination.

……

It is different from the situation where players sign their names directly without even looking at it. Although the current situation seems to have no other options for him to choose, Borg still, under the enthusiastic urging of other players, carefully After carefully reading every regulation on every contract, he finally signed his name at the end of the contract.

...Although the contract in the fallen ruins stated that "provide suitable magic power for this every day" after it actually acts on him, under the magic that can see through the truth, there is also a "transmission channel" like a transparent silk thread ", but there may be something that I have been notified in advance. At this time, Borg is not panicked.

He followed other players transporting materials to the square outside the city, where Francis happened to be putting together the dream mecha in the players' minds.

Unlike the previous square which was only piled up with large pieces of messy materials, now there are already small prototypes of mechas in the square.Even if Francis deliberately wanted to delay the production progress, after such a long time, the Bard, who couldn't hold it back, still stingily produced some results to deal with the players.

But even so, players who have seen real mechs for the first time in their lives can't help but be surprised by the picture in front of them when their dreams come true.

The parts of the mecha are visited on the ground piecemeal and regularly, and their shapes are made according to the cool drawings drawn by the players in the game after generating electricity for love. Many gold-type players and fire-type players are nearby Help Francis make parts, part-time blacksmith.

To be honest, in this fallen relic, there is actually a more efficient method of making parts.But considering that the plan to kill the gods has not been fully implemented, Francis is almost coldly watching these players struggling to figure out "magic blacksmithing".

Borg happened to bump into this scene when he came here——

The player who worked so hard to make a part came to Francis and asked Francis hopefully whether the part in his hand was qualified, but he was ruthlessly rejected in the end.

The appearance looks very cold, and I always feel that this person is very powerful.

For the aborigines in this world who have learned to read and write, Francis' name can still be considered famous on this continent.

Reminiscent of the previous players asking me about the fallen ruins, and finally thinking of the "Epic of the Empire" written by Francis. At this time, I heard this familiar name, and I didn't expect to see the legendary hero Borg. I was a little excited He casually grabbed a player beside him: "Francis, is that the legendary Francis?"

"It's been so long, and he's still alive?!" Because he was so excited, the words he said at this time sounded so straightforward that they were almost curses.

At this moment, the player's attention is all on the half-assembled mecha. The cool appearance made by other big players has already attracted his attention. Hearing Borg's question, he also He just replied perfunctorily, "Yes, that's right, it's him, he's still alive."

Borg didn't even bother to distinguish the perfunctory words from the outside, and only cared about being excited.

He turned his gaze to the semi-finished mecha on the ground. The cool appearance from the aesthetics of another world has already made him unable to recognize the essence of this so-called mecha: "It turns out that this is the case, no wonder you are so confident in saying that you want to kill me. God. With the help of this legendary bard, the goal of killing the gods is indeed no longer illusory."

"And those should be the god-killing weapons that you Francis specially designed for you. With such a huge and mighty body, they must be able to win us victory on the battlefield."

Borg praised sincerely, and his extremely excited words of praise finally made the player who was looking at the mech wholeheartedly turn his head to look at him, and said to himself in a particularly ostentatious tone: "Of course, just a few gods, then A Gundam that can beat science."

"Gundam?" Borg asked after hearing this for the first time, "Is this the name of the artifact?"

"It sounds really powerful."

"Of course it's amazing, that's Gundam." As soon as this was mentioned, the player became excited.

He talked endlessly about the power of Gundam, but he didn't notice that Borg's face looked more and more strange.

After the excited voices of the players stopped, the great magician's voice came out in surprise: "So this is Gundam... Why do I feel that this is a bit like the steel giant in gold magic."

"Besides, staying in the giant's chest during the battle will not guarantee the safety of the operator. Wouldn't it be more dangerous?"

Iron giant - this is a high-level magic that is still passed down in records.

Although this magic looks really complicated, and it is estimated that there are not many gold-type great magicians in the world who can use it, but it is impossible to use it to kill gods in vain.

The player whose dream was slandered fell into a rage: "You know what, don't reduce our Gundam to your third-rate magic."

"That's Gundam, that's the dream of men all over the world."

"...Is that so?" Borg said a little in surprise, obviously he didn't think how powerful this "dream of men all over the world" was.

This appearance looked almost provocative, and the player was so angry that he thought he had dictated a few episodes of the Gundam War with Borg before finishing.

The great magician who didn't even have a specific concept of the universe in his heart was shocked.

He took it all seriously.

……

The main battlefield of Agada, the flames of war were once again ignited from here.

It just looks a little different from the previous city battles. Compared with the chaos and violence of the past, this time the city battles can be called "harmonious".

While seeing the city wall of Agada from a distance, the commander of the monster army raised his hand to signal the army behind him to stop.

They stared at each other from a long distance away from the humans at the gate of the city, and did not make a move for a long time.

This seemed particularly untimely quiet on the battlefield, making the demons who came to help even turn their heads to look at the monster commander in doubt.

Then, the demon saw similar doubts on the face of the monster commander.

Devil: What are you doing in a daze, you rush up and fight? !

Monster Commander: What are you doing in a daze, why don't you rush up and fight? !

…Having learned from the experience of the demons being defeated by the Scientologists several times in the past, the monster commander found that the so-called decisive game can actually be decided in a short time, so he made up his mind and wanted to wait for this in the air. After the three parties in the melee decide the winner, they will then consider whether to start a war based on the final result.Otherwise, at the end of the fight, it was discovered that the Scientologists won the melee again, and the humans won. Wouldn't their fight be the same as fighting for nothing? !
