Before Fang Yu's hand touched the ball of light, a deep voice first sounded in his mind: "Get legendary inspiration - the realm of life and death." Then the light fell steadily on his hand, which made him stunned.
I was so surprised that I almost lost my grip on it.
Legendary inspiration? How could there be legendary inspiration? He remembered that the last time he got legendary inspiration was almost half a year ago. It was still underground in the Blood Thistle Grove. When he touched those fragments, the legendary inspiration was also the same as now.
Just as spontaneous.
But those fragments came from the same holy sword as the Annihilator in the hands of the big cat man. They were once used to forge one of the five dragon-slaying holy swords. They can be said to be a incomplete part of the artifact. And the piece in his hand
It was an ordinary piece of wood. No matter how you looked at it, it was just an ordinary piece of dead wood. He could even see rows of fine, withered woody tissue on its edge. Could it be that it was also the material of a divine weapon?
Munyarit seemed to see his doubts: "Telaka, the World Tree, this was once part of a World Tree, the heart of the giant tree."
"The Heart of the Giant Tree?" Even Alice was so surprised that she lost her voice: "Is this the Heart of the Giant Tree? The Holy White Tree Terraca, the Hill of the Giant Tree? But I heard that the Heart of the Giant Tree rests in the Holy Tree.
The core of the temple, why is it here?"
A trace of surprise flashed in the big cat man's eyes, but he suddenly remembered something, and his silver-gray eyes returned to calmness. But Fang Plover was finally well-informed in the community, and he suddenly reacted:
"Wait, this is..."
There was a hint of certainty in Muenyarit's voice: "You guessed it right, young human."
"Wait a minute," Alice looked at them: "What riddles are you playing?"
"This is the heart of the World Tree," Jita replied softly at this time: "The World Tree, Terraca, is not a name, but a type of plant - we call it the floating giant tree. In the past, this world
There used to be many of its kind in the world, but now there is only one left, the Holy White Tree, the Hill of Giant Trees, which is the name we gave it."
Mei, who was holding her oak shield on the side, understood after hearing this, "That is to say..."
"Yes," Munyarit replied: "This Heart of Tree comes from a Telaka tree that once existed in this world. It was destroyed in the ancient war, and people only saved it.
This heart of a tree.”
"But I think it's no different from ordinary wood?" Fang Plover looked at the dead wood up and down. If it weren't for the legendary inspiration, he almost suspected that Lord Heart of the Tree was deceiving them.
Alice gently kicked him aside and used her eyes to signal him not to be embarrassed. This is the heart of the giant tree. It may look ordinary - but isn't that how it is described in many stories?
It is the ordinary things that are actually the most amazing things.
But Munyarit smiled: "Your feeling is not wrong, because it has withered. The heart of the tree and Telaka are both miracles of life and the power of nature. But without life, they will become the same thing."
No different than dead wood.”
Alice coughed slightly after hearing this. Fang Plover turned back to look at her. Miss Nightingale quickly pretended not to know and moved her eyes aside, pretending to look around at the scenery.
But this is too unreliable. No matter how much it is boasted and its origin is extraordinary, it is just a piece of dead wood after all. Alice always feels that the old tree man is taking advantage of the idiot for fun, and she is also involved.
Shameful.
But Fang Yu was not dissatisfied. Probably because of what he had learned, this piece of dead wood seemed to him more like a precious specimen, which recorded the glorious past of an endangered plant population. Others might think that this tree
He was deceiving them, but he actually got a legendary inspiration from this dead wood, which is enough to explain everything.
Mei Yi was also looking at the piece of dead wood in Fang Plover's hand in a daze. After all, she also came from the Hill of Giant Trees, which was considered a second hometown for Papal people like them.
"Aren't you dissatisfied at all, young human?" Munyarit suddenly asked.
"No," Fang Yu shook his head and looked at the dead wood in his hand with some emotion: "Everything is subject to birth and death. The glory of the past reflects the decay of today. The so-called eternal World Tree cannot escape the judgment of time. The relationship between life and death
Is there any limit between time?"
Alice turned back and looked at him slightly surprised.
Munyarit let out a deep laugh, somewhat satisfied: "All things are subject to birth and death. Life and death are indeed boundless. New shoots also sprout from the ashes. Today's death symbolizes the glory of tomorrow. Young humans, it seems
The goddess's favor for you is not without reason."
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and wanted to say that he was indeed the chosen one of the goddess, but it was not Amaya, but Marlan. The mark left by the forest lady on him was better said to be a coincidence.
But he thought for a moment and felt that there was no need to explain anything. After all, it was not a big deal. Muenyarit then said: "Although the heart of the tree is dead, it once gave birth to Telaka, a young human being."
, you can feel what it contains."
Fang Plover was startled, and then he understood what the Lord Heart of the Tree was talking about. He put his hand on the dead wood, closed his eyes, and sank into the world of stars. This was the craftsman detecting this
Regarding the methods of the world, although other professions also have methods for detecting magic, and some such as magicians are simpler, but they are not as deep into the essence of this world as alchemists.
A bright starlight appeared in his eyes, and those shining light points were connected with each other in the darkness, forming this wooden structure. But Fang Plover had never seen such a tight and detailed connection. It was far better than what he had imagined.
Every metal I've ever seen is tighter and stronger, not to mention wood and rock.
But more importantly, he felt the vast magic power contained in the endless starlight, which was boundless and better than the vast ocean.
Fang Yu's hands trembled slightly and he opened his eyes. There was a faint silver light in his eyes, which gradually faded as time went by. Others did not notice the radiance of magic power, but Mu En
Ariet saw it clearly.
It smiled: "See?"
Fang Yu nodded with some shock.
The heart of the withered giant tree still contains the magic left behind by it during its lifetime. After all, it once floated in the sea of wind, absorbing the endless elements and ether. It is like a huge source of magic, even if it is just a piece of dead wood.
, but it also contains vast power.
This is not just a piece of dead wood, this is simply the raw material that alchemists dream of.
Even if its origin itself is ignored, just relying on the magic power contained in it, it can already be called an artifact. It is worthy of being Terraca, the heart of the world tree.
It is definitely not just an ordinary gift. In a sense, it is not inferior to May's Oak Shield at all.
It’s no wonder that Munyarit would say that this gift is most suitable for him, because of all people, he is the only one who is an alchemist, and he is the only one who can discover the extraordinary features of this dead wood.
"Those majestic giant trees once described the history of this world, but ancient disasters destroyed everything. They once drifted at the end of time and were buried in the dust of history," Muenyarit said slowly at this time
, "Few people remember the past glory of those legendary things, but I think that a person who can hear the reincarnation of nature may also be able to hear the ancient sounds contained in it——"
"Young human being, maybe one day you will give this heart of a tree another life."
Fang Plover looked at the dead wood in his hand and didn't understand whether turning it into an alchemical work meant giving the heart of the giant tree another kind of life.
But that is actually still a bit far away for him.
This material was of too high a level for him, and at his current level, it was basically impossible to use it. But he still nodded slightly. If he couldn't use it now, it didn't mean he wouldn't use it in the future.
…
When leaving the forest, Fang Yu suddenly remembered something. He stopped Alice and asked, "Speaking of which, you were also involved in that battle, right?"
Alice brushed the hair beside her ear, tilted her head and replied: "Me, what's wrong?"
"I mean without you, we may not have time to take back the Heart of the Mountain. Although Miss Mei is also there, she may not be the opponent of those in the dusk alone. Did Master Muenyarit give you to me?"
forget?"
Mei thought for a moment and nodded. She has always been fair and takes what she wants.
"So you are trying to defend me," Alice blinked slyly, "but you are wrong, it has already given us a reward."
"Really?" Fang Yu was slightly stunned.
"Have you forgotten that I am a member of the Holy White Stone Guild? Just like it is a gift to you, not to you, the big cat and Jita each have a gift, the rewards I receive are naturally given to the team.
of."
Fang Yu then remembered this incident and looked at her a little surprised: "Speaking of which, do you still want to stay in the Holy White Stone Guild?"
When mentioning this matter, Alice also seemed a little confused and shook her head: "I'm not sure. If the Holy White Stone no longer cooperates with Dusk, then there is no point in my staying here. Let's look over there for details.
How should I put it, although I think there is nothing wrong with staying in the Holy White Stone Guild."
Fang Yu suddenly fell silent. He felt that the other party was not so free and could not even decide whether to stay or go. In fact, when they met again this time, he felt that the twin sister had changed a lot compared to when they were in Fenris.
, although it may be that she originally had such a personality and just showed that way when she was in Fenris, but it is undeniable that all this may be related to the other person's experience during this period.
To put it bluntly, it was because of the things that happened in Fenris that she shouldered unnecessary responsibilities. And the instigators are still at large. Isn’t this why they tracked the whereabouts of the dark believers along the way?
He suddenly understood Alyssa's original intention of joining their team. The so-called gratitude and having nowhere to go might be just an excuse.
"Then the mission given to you by the military is to lurk in the Holy White Stone Guild. Then there won't be any problem if you leave the mission without authorization, right?"
"Where are you thinking? The people over there are not hard-hearted. The matter of Heart of the Mountain is more important. I handed over the communication crystal to the guild at that time and could not contact them. However, I have reported it to them afterwards.
Okay, then we just need to go through an investigation process."
"It really doesn't matter?"
"It doesn't matter," Alice shook her head and said to him in an old-fashioned way: "Please have some confidence in your country. Although things there are a bit rigid and they have to report every big thing, they still have a very sense of justice.
.”
Although she spoke in a free and easy manner, Fang Pultru could still hear Miss Nightingale's yearning for freedom.
He thought for a moment and said, "Your sister... is actually very worried about you."
"Why are you helping her preach to me?" Alice laughed: "If you want to use this method to impress me, it would be too old-fashioned. You might as well ask my sister for advice. She has
There are many ways to teach you how to please a girl."
Fang Plover trembled when he heard this and almost fell down. The big cat man laughed loudly and said with a smile: "I think it's okay. When it comes to women, you have to tame them like a lioness."
"What about Mr. Big Cat Man, where are your lionesses?" Fang Plover tore off the vines wrapped around his feet, and said angrily.
Now it was the Lion Paladin's turn to cough heavily, and he replied seriously: "Little guy, you have to understand that I am already half a Sanshak. I have sworn to stay away from the wilderness of Lotao."
A better life.”
"You might as well tell this to Miss Attila."
"What does it have to do with Miss Saint? She doesn't care about it either."
"Speaking of which, is Miss Attila really a unicorn girl?"
"That's a long story..."
In the next two days, Fang Yu reported the situation to the Seven Seas Traveler as planned. It was said that they successfully completed the mission and exceeded the target by a large margin - although Tu Yuanjing was actually just Fang
Plover only needed it alone, but Miss Elf still expressed her congratulations to him warmly.
Having such a sister-like person who cares about him, Fang Yu always feels warm in his heart. He sometimes feels that the Seven Seas Traveler is like a big family, and everyone is an indispensable part.
It was hard for him to imagine that this team would be scattered one day in the future, but he was determined that as long as he stayed in Etalia for one day, the Seven Seas Brigade would not be easily disbanded no matter what.
Alyssa also spoke to her sister. Although the sisters had each other's communication IDs, the feeling of being far apart was naturally not as good as the feeling of being so close to each other at this moment. The Seven Seas Traveler was not far away from each other at this moment.
Far away, and this may be the first time in half a year that the two of them have been so close to each other.
That sense of spiritual connection, even if it just feels a little close, is enough to move people. It is difficult for outsiders to understand the feeling. However, this is the first time that Fang Yu saw Alice wiping her tears. Although she did not cry, she still felt moved.
After the two sisters finished talking, her eyes were red and swollen.
As for Alyssa, I'm afraid it's about the same.
Even so, the twin sister still thanked him. Even though he helped the other party so much last time in Fenris, the other party did not thank him seriously. But this time it was completely different. Alice
Rarely serious.
Tianlan held the communication crystal and chattered to her new friend, Ai Xiaoxiao, about what happened in the past few days. The latter was stunned for a while and regretted it, saying that she must not miss it next time.
Such an opportunity for adventure.
However, this played into Tian Lan's hands, but Fang Piao didn't know that this little girl was actually evil-minded and just wanted to show off her experience. Ai Xiaoxiao's reaction greatly satisfied her little vanity.
So our poet lady patted her little breasts and assured her that she would definitely take her out on an adventure next time. I don’t know where she got the confidence from.
However, Tang Xin was far less polite and directly urged Ai Xiaoxiao to see if she had reviewed and completed the homework assigned by her - yes, Ai Xiaoxiao's holiday homework was finally completed successfully after going through many hardships.
, but this does not mean that she is out of the sea of suffering.
Who told her to have a responsible best friend, and she also had full authorization from her parents.
Ai Xiaoxiao was so angry that she muttered: "Tangtang, you are becoming more and more like my mother!"
"Then you stay in this world for the rest of your life, just like my idiot cousin."
"Hmph, I wish I could. My eldest cousin is so nice."
As a result, Fang Plover received several vicious eye rolls for no apparent reason.
But not long after, Tang Xin found him again worriedly, and asked a little seriously: "Brother, am I getting old?"
Fang Yu glanced at her. He didn't quite understand where the other party's meaningless question came from. He just thought that if you are getting old, wouldn't I have half a foot in the grave? But he thought about it for a moment.
, decided to answer his cousin’s question seriously in order to establish his authority as his elder brother:
"Maybe you are older in mentality, ouch——"
Not long after, people discovered that their captain was covering his feet with cold sweat on his face.
Baggins on the ship also rarely asked a few questions about their eldest lady. Sylvide smiled and apologized to the boatswain. She and Siesta had sneaked out after all. Baggins, as her
Her father's deputy and half of her guardian, although the relationship between the two parties is master and servant, they are still responsible for her.
Our noble lady has always been sensible——
However, it was rare for Fang Yu to apologize seriously.
Finally, Luo Hao and Luo Yu informed them of the sailing status of the Seven Seas Traveler in the past few days. Generally speaking, it was going smoothly. Although the changeable weather on the side of Mount Piriede near the rainforest made it difficult for the Seven Seas Traveler to sail,
This caused a lot of trouble - especially when there were few people on board.
However, every loss has its own gain. The complex climate conditions also make it impossible for the fleet pursuing them to go deep into the foothills of Mount Piriede to search for their whereabouts. After all, their glorious achievements are still there, no matter what
No one dares to underestimate it.
It can be imagined that the most likely possibility for the opponent is to set up an ambush at the big pass where Kellan'ao is located, which is the only way to the Ladder of the Old World from Mount Piried.
However, they may not have thought that the Seven Seas Traveler was currently anchored in Mount Piriede and had stopped moving forward. Luo Hao did not respond to Fang Plover's request that they stay there for two more days and wait for them to go to meet up.
Express any difficulty.
Maybe even after they hide here for two more days, the other party will lose patience and think that they have not taken this road and turn to another place. Although Fang Yu thinks this hope is slim, it at least shows that stopping is not a problem.
bad thing.
He asked the Seven Seas Traveler to maintain communication, and soon, as he expected, support from the major guilds began to arrive in the Ash Forest.
This also means that it's almost time for them to leave this place.
