Ronald's eyes tightened and he immediately retreated, and the flame of [Juehai Lantern] was instantly extinguished under his control.
This darkness and nothingness is not an attack, but a certain characteristic of the world itself. In fact, the existence of thorn vines is not to trap people in the Songzhonglin, but to protect the Songzhonglin within it.
The threat Ronald faced at this moment was as if the diving bell where the diver was located had been destroyed, and a deep-sea torrent carrying huge pressure was coming towards him!
Alarm bells rang in Ronald's mind.
[Instinct] The danger prediction of the spell has almost reached its limit, and it is only one strength lower than when encountering a great existence.
Bang!
At the critical moment, Ronald stepped hard and jumped backwards.
Just as his body was floating in the air, a strong wind suddenly appeared.
The air flow wrapped around Ronald like a tornado, dragging his body and flying backwards, making his already lightning-fast movements even faster, almost running out of super electricity!
It's Costat.
The maid faithfully carried out Ronald's orders.
The next moment the crisis came, Costart used magic from behind to help Ronald leave the dangerous edge of Songzhonglin.
"..."
Ronald thanked Costat in his heart, but he did not dare to look away from the void outside the singing forest.
He was thinking about how to save the two of them, or how to deal with this phenomenon in the future.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
In the distance of Ronald's field of vision, the thorny vines that had just been burned by the flames of [Endless Sea Lantern] grew again, quickly surrounding the Songzhong Forest, and completely cutting off the outside void in just a few seconds.
After the structure is complete, the hiding effect of the thorn vines also appears again.
The illusion of a quiet and peaceful forest appeared on the edge of the world, blocking out all terrible things. At this time, the forest in the song was completely back to the way it was when Ronald and the two came in, as quiet as the world in the song.
Snap——
Watching the scene in front of him, Ronald fell to the ground again.
Before he could turn around, Costart rushed forward and began to check Ronald's physical and mental condition:
"Sir, are you okay? I just saw the situation outside the forest..."
Ronald waved his hand to indicate that he was okay:
"It's okay. You did a good job just now and helped me a lot."
Thanks to his faster reaction speed, Ronald was naturally not injured.
After Kostat finished his inspection and felt relieved, he walked towards the edge of the Song Forest again. This time the maid followed closely behind, unwilling to leave Ronald's side.
The two came to the edge of the Song Forest again, and thorns and vines reappeared in front of them.
For this extremely fast-growing vine, the destruction just now seemed like a dream. At this moment, Ronald could not see any signs of brokenness or signs of being burned in the things in front of him.
Until his eyes noticed where thorn vines grew from the ground.
"This position is shorter than before?"
Before setting the fire, Ronald carefully observed the situation here, and kept in mind the boundaries of the thorn vines.
At this moment, he seemed to realize that after the danger just now, the area of Ge Zhonglin had actually shrunk by a circle!
The situation leaves little room for redundancy.
Ronald was certain - this land was swallowed up by the void!
If you don't want to continue to squeeze the space for yourself and Costat to move, it's better not to attack these thorns and vines until you are sure.
With this analysis in mind, Ronald took Costat back to the depths of the forest. During this period, the maid took the initiative to ask:
"Sir, what should we do next?"
Ronald's turning back action indicated his intention, so Costat did not ask about the reason for leaving the edge of the forest, but directly asked for instructions on the next action.
"I have no idea at the moment." Ronald simply admitted that he was now helpless and continued, "Anyway, for now, the edge of this forest cannot be destroyed. Let's look for clues from these trees, maybe
You can gain something. If it doesn’t work..."
Having said this, Ronald raised a smile on his lips:
"If it really doesn't work, it should be time for my [Original Sin of Greed] to continue to be used - the problem will naturally be solved."
"..."
Hearing this answer, Costart was silent for a moment.
The maid followed Ronald and continued to turn back. She paused frequently on the road, her eyes showed contradictions, and she was ready to speak several times, but she finally closed her mouth.
Until the two of them arrived at the center of Songzhonglin.
When Ronald was about to split up and continue exploring the forest, which was almost the same as the outside world, Costat couldn't help but speak:
"Sir, based on my understanding of your cognition - can this behavior be understood as choosing not to take any intervention measures when facing a problem and letting things develop to the bad side?"
"..."
This time it was Ronald's turn to stop and be silent.
He turned to look at the curious Costate, controlled his facial expression, and waited for a while before he could speak:
"Costat, when did you learn to talk in such a roundabout way? I understood what you just said. What you meant was that you were asking me, is this kind of behavior called showing off?"
"Sir! I'm not..." Costat immediately became nervous.
However, Ronald did not let the topic continue to spiral out of control, but immediately spoke to characterize the matter:
“If you don’t act when things are predictably bad, that’s what you call messing up.”
"And now? We are taking active actions, and we also have magic as a predictable solution. So Costate, this is by no means a bad attitude, we are working hard to solve the problem!"
After such a forceful explanation, Ronald immediately issued the order, and the two of them split up to explore the forest.
Except for facial congestion after turning around, both Ronald and Costat's steps were steady, quick and powerful.
…
As a result, the two men's exploration yielded nothing.
They understood everything here in detail. The Songzhonglin in front of them was exactly the same as the Songzhonglin in the outside world. There was no difference except for the birds and animals that inhabited it.
Even if the two of them were extremely careful, they could not gain any information.
In the end, one can only accept the low morale.
At the predetermined time, that is, the time when [The Original Sin of Greed] could be used again, Ronald and Costart returned to the center of the Song Forest.
"..."
The master and the maid looked at each other, and with just one look they understood that the other was the same as themselves.
Ronald scratched his hair to hide his embarrassment, and then followed his previous idea and locked the [Original Sin of Greed] on the forest in front of him again.
Then, [The Original Sin of Greed] showed a completely different reaction from before.
Through this spell as a medium, a few lines of beautiful and smiling singing came to Ronald's ears:
"Songs surround the forest, here and elsewhere."
"The unchanging voice, the unchanging person, the road to the atrium extends from here..."
[Well, my work is not over yet, but I updated it today.
Why?
Because I worked late at night for more than ten consecutive days, I had a gout attack, so I could only rest, and then I could code and update...
I had thought about this kind of thing, but the reason was infection and fever.
The world is really wonderful...
Anyway, I wrote a chapter before going to bed and posted it, and when I get up tomorrow I will think about how to write it later.
I haven’t coded for so long...
To be honest, I forgot the plot I originally prepared...]
