Steel Steam and Flame

The huge underground cavity fell into silence after the brief conversation between the two, and it was not broken by Stant's words until the coke-shaped fragments of the ancient historical world tree under the dim fluorescent lights in front of them began to breathe red again. see

"The frequency of breathing has increased several times, should this be good news?" He asked, his eyes fell on the fragments, and then he was attracted by the entangled roots breaking through from the ground. It is a tiny part of the root network left by the ancient world tree, attracted by the trunk fragments of this world tree. But every time you see it, you can still feel the shock from the brown-black bark.

Stant still remembered the information he had read, which roughly said that when the Holy See explored the underground ruins and discovered this fragment, rhizomes that had not yet had a root network broke through the rock formation from extremely deep underground. Hundreds of years later, when occasional vibrations became more frequent, the members of the Holy See at that time inspected the surroundings, and finally found that the source of the vibrations was caused by the movement of rhizomes breaking through the rock formations.

Several precautionary measures were planned, but all failed. Until now, under the feet of Stant and Novissa, there are still several layers of thick alloy steel plates that have been completely destroyed by the rhizomes of the root system.

The alloy steel plates have been twisted and decayed, and the earliest ones have turned into rust, and even become the nourishment for these roots.

At that time, it should be said that until more than ten years ago, the action to stop these rhizomes was still going on. From the initial defense, to the use of various tools to cut and destroy the roots that have been wound up, etc., they have been repeatedly used as feasible methods in the long history. But none of them worked, even temporarily, and it never happened.

Hundreds of years ago, these rhizomes proved themselves to be comparable to the vitality of the gods, and left a similar deep impression on the popes of the Holy See. And they who have been in the root network of the world tree for a while, of course, can better understand the strength of these rhizomes.

The root system network is a terrifying life form that exists deep underground, but it has always been sleeping. All kinds of life that stepped on the Three-Phase Continent were more like stepping on this terrifying sleeping life body. Fortunately, the action of "stepping on" is very small, not enough to wake it up. see

"Expectation is good news. As for the changes and differences between the six red stars and the past, we can only wait for time to reach the established node. However," Novisas turned around at this time, Throwing one-third of the trident to Stant, "For me, it has no clear meaning. The fragments have new changes again, and maybe a new sprout will be bred. The benefits it brings It will be you who accept it, not me anymore. Although the position of Pope is not long, it is a long time to count from being a member of the successor list."

"I feel tired, especially in the current era, when there are new things to pursue, the pleasure brought by power is no longer fascinating."

Stant held the trident firmly, looked at the approaching Novissa and said: "With a longer lifespan, you have more possibilities. Compared with the rights in a short period of time, there is no advantage at all. .”

"But no one can guarantee the so-called possibility. Even the third general, who has been eroded by time, will take the initiative to avoid this topic." Novisas smiled, "In time, it is truly similar to immortality and immortality. Yes, only the root network of the world tree. Without the confinement under the extreme sea vortex, the third general would also become a dead bone under the deep sea."

The stone door was pushed open, and Stant stared ahead, recording the gloomy scene, then turned around and followed Novissa up the stone spiral staircase, step by step steadily approaching the exit on the ground.

"I'm not worried about the arrangements on the Houxiang mainland. How are the preparations inside the Theocracy? At present, remember to leave nearly half of the surgeon's force. While maintaining stability, focus on taking care of the extreme areas and the entrances and exits of the underground world. And around the hatchery of polluting dragons, it has become a concentrated area of ​​power." Novissa said flatly, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"The war on the mainland of Houxiang will definitely become a protracted war. At least on the eve of the end of the war, when we are already fighting for opportunities, the internal environment of the Theocracy needs to be maintained. After all, this is our logistical support. Resources, personnel, War machines, etc., all need a large area of ​​industry to support, and then produce qualified and satisfactory output. Any party in the extreme area and the entrance of the underground world is negligent, causing a fall, which will bring disaster in a large area , a disaster more dire than climate impacts.” 覉

Stant replied in a serious tone: "The preparations are complete. If there is a possibility of falling, completely destroying the entrances and exits of the extreme areas or the underground world is a matter that has been approved by the meeting and has been prepared."

"It's the best way to not think about saving what is the most correct idea to have at the moment."

Did not answer, Stant and Novissa walked one after the other, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com silently walked on the spiral stairs, the movements became more and more mechanical, as if they had forgotten the time.

Not long after, probably at the middle of the spiral staircase, Stant said, "The awakened members of the Nature Association will arrive at the Flame Alliance at about the same time. It's just as a deterrent, and their current target of action is temporarily unclear. And according to the third general, the person who will replace Miss Letitia of the Natural Society, Miss Lavia Watrainier, her condition should have stabilized."

"Three years,,, you only spent a little more than two years?" There was a sense of lightness in the voice, and Novissa seemed to be happy because of it, "My own words are also less than Miss Letitia's." It takes a few months to complete the stabilization of the state. However, they will have more time, all because they want to help their second-type creatures complete the evolution. This is an advantage that we do not have."

"But don't worry, either Miss Letitia or this Miss Lavia Watrainier will be our allies in the future. Compared with them, what I am most interested in now is The person Miss Letitia mentioned was the third-generation knight king of the Saint Dorag Empire, Elinor Kira Andi.

She said that the third knight king of the Saint Dorag Empire had a shorter and faster stable state. And on the evolutionary route of the second type of life, it has gone further than us. In fact, one can draw conclusions from the connections in the spiritual world that have been pulled in several times. This third-generation knight king does have something special. "覉

"Looking forward to meeting her." Novissa smiled. "You should understand that if you don't move your body for decades, even we will degenerate mentally."
