The huge underground cavity fell into silence after the two people's brief conversation. It was not until the charred fragments of the ancient historical world tree in front of them under the dim fluorescent light began to glow red again like breathing that they were broken by Stant's words.
"The breathing rate has accelerated several times. Is this supposed to be good news?" he asked, his eyes falling on the fragments, and then he was attracted by the entangled roots that broke out from the ground. It was the root network left by the world tree in ancient history.
A tiny part of it is attracted by this fragment of the main trunk of the 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 without a root network broke through the rock formations from the extremely deep underground. Hundreds of years later, when there was an occasional earthquake
It became more and more frequent. At that time, members of the Holy See explored the surroundings and finally discovered that the source of the vibration was caused by the movement of roots breaking through the rock layer.
Several preventive measures have been planned, but they all ended in failure. Until now, under the feet of Stant and Nowisas, there are still several layers of thick alloy steel plates that have been completely destroyed by the root network of rhizomes.
The alloy steel plates have been twisted and decayed, and the earliest ones have turned into rust, and have even become nutrients 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 subsequent use of various tools to cut and destroy the entangled rhizomes, etc., it was a long history.
They have been used repeatedly as possible methods. However, none of them have achieved results, even if it is only temporary, it has never happened.
These roots had proven themselves to be as vital as gods hundreds of years ago, and had roughly the same deep impression on successive popes of the Holy See. They had originally spent some time in the root network of the World Tree.
Of course they can better understand the strength of these roots.
The root network is a terrifying life form that exists deep underground, but it is always sleeping. The various lives that step on the Three Phase Continent are more like stepping on this terrifying sleeping life form. Fortunately, "
The movement of "step" is very small and not enough to wake it up.
"Expectation is good news. As for when the six red stars arrive, what changes will there be? How will it be different from the past? We can only wait for time to reach the established node. However," Nowisas turned around at this time,
Conveniently threw a third of the trident to Stant, "To me, it has no clear meaning. The fragments have new changes again, which may give birth to a new sprout. The benefits it brings
It will be you who accepts it, not me. Although I have not been in the position of pope for a long time, it has been a long time since I became a member of the candidate list of successors."
"I feel tired, especially in the current era. When there are new things to pursue, the pleasure brought by power is no longer fascinating."
Not long after, probably reaching the middle of the spiral staircase, Stant said, "The awakened people of the Nature Association will arrive at the Flame Alliance at the same time at a similar time. It is just as a deterrent, and their current target of action is not yet clear.
According to the third general, the person who will replace Miss Letitia of the Natural Society, Miss Lavia Waterenier, her condition should have been stable."
The stone door was pushed open, and Stant stared ahead, recording the gloomy scene, then turned around and followed Novizas up the stone spiral staircase, steadily approaching the exit on the ground step by step.
Stant caught the trident steadily, looked at Nowisas who was approaching 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."
.”
"The war on the Prime Minister's Continent will definitely become a protracted war. At least until the end of the war, when we are already competing for opportunities, the internal environment of the Theocracy needs to be maintained. After all, this is our logistics support, resources, and personnel.
War machines, etc., all require large areas of industry to support them, and then provide qualified and satisfactory output. Any negligence on the part of the entrance to the extreme area and the underground world, resulting in a loss, will bring disaster to a large area.
, a disaster more terrifying than climate impacts.”
"I'm not worried about the arrangements on the Prime Minister's Continent. How are the preparations within the Theocracy? At present, remember to leave nearly half of the surgeons behind. While maintaining stability, focus on taking care of the entrances and exits to various extreme areas and the underground world.
And around the hatchery where polluted dragons breed, it has become a concentrated area of power." Nowisas spoke calmly, as if it was a matter that had nothing to do with him.
"It's best to not think about saving, which is the most correct idea at present."
"But no one can guarantee the so-called possibility. Even the third general, who has been eroded by time, will actively avoid this topic." Nowisas smiled, "In time, it truly maintains something like immortality and immortality.
Yes, there is only the root network of the World Tree. Without the confinement under the whirlpool of the extreme sea, the third general would have become a withered skeleton under the deep sea."
Without answering, Stant and Novizas walked one behind the other, silently walking on the spiral staircase, their movements becoming more and more mechanical, as if they had lost track of time.
Stant replied with a serious tone: "We are fully prepared. If there is a possibility of being lost, completely destroying the entrance to the extreme area or the underground world is a matter that has been voted on by the meeting and made preparations for."
"Three years,,, you only spent a little more than two years, right?" There was a lightness in his voice, and Nowisas seemed to be happy because of it, "My own words, it is less than Miss Liticia."
It will take several months to stabilize 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 we do not have."
"But don't worry. Miss Laetitia and Miss Lavia Waterenier will all be our allies in the future. Compared with them, what I am most interested in right now is
The person Miss Letitia mentioned was the third-generation knight king of the Saint Drag Empire, Eleanor Kiraandi.
She said that the third knight king of the Saint Dolag Empire had a shorter and faster stable state. And on the evolutionary route of the second type of life, he was further than us. In fact, from several times
The connection between him and the spiritual world can lead to the conclusion that this third-generation knight king does have something special."
"Looking forward to meeting her." Nowisas smiled, "You should understand that even if we don't move our bodies for decades, we will suffer mental degradation."
