Steel Steam and Flame

Without getting an answer, Pekins was already used to it on the way here. Knowing that Hillary Reilly didn't say anything against it meant that she heard what she was saying.

The two did not make any repairs and stops, and the fatigue of the journey did not reach the limit they could endure. And from shortly after entering the southern forest until this moment, the entire journey was replaced by the brown giant bear just now, and hardly any physical strength and energy were spent doing anything.

The speed is not very fast, they are more like taking a walk in a dark jungle without seeing any scenery. But in the eyes of the two, there has always been a different scene-

The surroundings were not dark, but shrouded in a smoky pale blue fluorescent light. Hazy and blurry, similar to the thin mist in the morning, it provides sufficient light source for low-light vision. The ground is no longer a large pile of dead leaves, and the ancient trees are not wooden walls covered with a piece of cracked bark. They are the source of the light blue fluorescent fog, like boiling water, which emits fog and fluorescence all the time.

The closer the ancient tree is to the ground, the stronger the intensity of the light blue light. At the root of the tree, it has become a huge dim light in the field of vision.

At the same time, these mists of fluorescent light are more regular than the tides, and they are breathing like the rhythm of life, rippling back and forth in this dead zone with only ancient trees, indicating that something is sleeping quietly and steadily here. .

Occasionally, Hilary Riley, who has enhanced perception, will see a distance surrounded by fog and fluorescent light, or at the edge of the line of sight, a spherical light group appears, and after a few breaths, it disappears backwards and disappears. . These light groups almost perfectly grasped the limit of Hillary's perception range, and never gave her the opportunity to observe more clearly.

"It's a little more frequent." Hilary Riley seemed to express her dissatisfaction and said to Pekinz, "Before the Southern Forest incident, I went to the depths to prepare various things. After staying there for several months, I only captured one The traces of the World Tree inspection core. Just capturing the traces, this is the point. Here, we only walked for more than half an hour, and we saw the bodies close to the four inspection cores."

"Because this place is very important, such protection and inspection measures are completely expected." Perkins replied casually, and also asked Hillary Riley not to think too much about such a small situation, "If you have any questions about the inspection core Interested, and when we get to the destination, there is definitely a chance for you to observe it up close.”

"I don't care." Hilary Riley said, and then talked about another phenomenon, "Is the breathing rhythm caused by you? This area has become like this, and it's all because of you? It's almost a dead area, and there are no insects. One, there is also an induction force field that is far stronger than other areas deep in the southern forest. I think this force field that lasts for a very long time is the reason for the formation of the dead zone."

As she said that, she shook her head and glanced around: "If this is not the deep forest area, the roots of the ancient trees are connected to the roots and stems of the ancient historical world tree, and the distance is much closer than the outer. Then there should not be any trees here, It's just going to be a parched land for a long time. A small desertified place is a very likely scenario."

"The current condition of your body looks much better than what you described yourself." She came to her own conclusion, but it was more of a questioning, "You definitely lied about some things. .Especially all kinds of details about myself."

Pekinz was very helpless and sighed: "If I lied to you, do you think I will take the initiative to bring you here? Without me or the New World Tree to lead the way, do you think that apart from people from the king of knights, there are also Who can take the initiative to discover this area and come in here? You can think of the nature of this place as similar to the fog country in the center of the southern forest, but there is no doubt that the quality here is a little higher."

"The frequent inspection of the core is the best proof. Because I said earlier, this place is very important. There is no specific means of passage, and this place will only be more dangerous than the country of fog, and the means of passage, except for other knight kings, can be blunt. Coming in and out, currently only me and the will of the New World Tree are in control."

"However, I admit that some of the previous descriptions were exaggerated, but they were all for the good of you and Cassia. This way you will have the motivation to not rely on me to do everything all the time."

"Then you're thinking too much." Hillary's answer made Perkins smile silently. The silence came for a while, but was still broken by Hilary.

"Your body is already in the recovery stage?" She was very interested in the rhythm of the mist fluorescence, so she asked, "It seems that recovery will not be a quick process and will take a long time. It has been more than two years. Yes, and it's still going on."

Pekinz breathed a sigh of relief at this time, as if helpless, but also as pure emotion: "This is the price of breaking away from the huge system of the Church. If I hadn't met you and found Cassia again, all I could rely on would be to be received everywhere. The will of the new world tree limited by the Black Dragon Monico Roa. Now you have also noticed that the will of the new world tree can not help me much, so I can only rely on time to slowly stack up, and finally get the desired effect. "

"In the teaching country and the Nature Association, there is a standard and feasible process for awakening and recovery. The two superpowers hold a lot of resources. This kind of thing only needs to follow the process step by step. I can get a standard answer. But it doesn't work for me. Now, the third general walks out of the polar sea vortex ahead of time, and that standard answer can be improved, faster and more perfect. As for what it will be like in the end, I can only Hope it's not much better."

"The pressure is now on our side." He finally said with some self-deprecating self-deprecation, "I add Eleanor of the empire, facing the power of the knight king class, which is close to 30 in the total number of the Church and the Nature Association, the pressure is actually It's always been with us."

Hillary Riley only regarded these words as Pekinz's complaints, and said her own words: "You seem to be in good condition, how much better than those awakened people in the Church? Your will to choose the new world tree is definitely not It's as simple as it's willing to cooperate with you. The giant whale population of the Endless Sea must also be one of the options."

Seeing that his words had no effect, Pekinz's tone returned to normal: "It's almost infinitely close to the previous me, the gap is very small. But the people of the teaching country, with the help of the third general, have become unknown. But it is not expected to be full. State, cheating time always pays a price, this is a fact that even the third general cannot get around."
