They are impossible to win over and difficult to control. Their true bodies are hidden in unknown places, and all attacks against them are like clowns struggling with smoke.
Fortunately, these elves-like but vicious existences that were transformed from humans are more interested in humans.
"It's time for us to leave."
Before leaving, Lu Li asked the twisted figure about Katarina's vortex treatment method.
"You will come back soon...then there will be a solution."
The answer relayed by the believer revealed that the Twisted Church will not do nothing in the subsequent arrangements, and the Twisted Figure will not allow the sister to be trapped in the whirlpool.
They bid farewell to the twisted figure, and were escorted back to Elm Forest by church members.
"If you want to know about my Lord, you can come to me at any time."
The Tentacle Cultists whispered, and retreated into the burned-out Elm Street neighborhood with their companions.
After watching them leave, Lu Li and others returned to the woods.
After stopping for a while at the tree stump where the evil fallen dead, they returned to Wanghai Cliff.
"What happened to that tree..."
The gradual change of mood in the elm forest made them relax, but when standing on the edge of Wanghai Cliff and seeing the changes in the lone dead tree, Catalina was full of vigilance.
The tree that Lu Li called "Annie" turned into a green monster.
"It's leaves!"
Exclaimed Pusius called out the name of the green monster.
"Do you know them?"
Catalina covered her eyes. She felt like she had heard the word "leaf" somewhere before.
“As plants grow, they grow leaves!”
Pusius jumped on the spot, knowing what this meant.
"Annie is growing!"
Catalina slowly lowered her arms and watched Lu Li walking towards the short tree with light green clusters on the canopy, as if it was being parasitized. She murmured in a low voice: "I have never seen it before..."
As if spring has arrived, the branches of the Annie tree grow with long, light green leaves.
That means full of vitality.
"The plants...stopped growing...that's right. Is it...weird?" Ophelia asked hoarsely.
"Um."
The waiting black crow flapped its wings and landed on Annie.
The delicate branches could not support the weight of the raven and hung down. A wave of rejection came from the tree, driving away the annoying black crows.
"It's time for me to leave."
Lu Li said to Annie.
The branches where the black crow left swayed slightly, and Annie, who had just recovered, conveyed her reluctance.
"It doesn't want you to leave." The eldest sister in the hood translated.
"We will come back if we find Anna."
Lu Li's dark eyes fell on the growing buds, and he told Annie about the approaching winter.
Annie's humanity may be enough to survive the cold winter, but Lu Li still found a few wooden boards and buried them around Annie to protect her from the cold sea wind coming from the sea.
After staying for a few dozen minutes, Annie's buds turned yellow and withered.
She is preparing for the coming cold winter.
During this period, Pusius, who was looking at the ruins of Belfast, ran back and said that the huge skeleton in the port had changed and became like the keel of a ship.
The group of pagans who had the near encounter were building ships in the harbor.
After burying the shield, Lu Li remembered something and took out the seeds he got from the dead trees in the swamp.
Losing his humanity makes it difficult for Lu Li to hatch the seed, so maybe he should plant it next to Annie.
"I need it."
The businessman rarely took the initiative to speak.
"Do you know him?"
Lu Li opened his palm, revealing the irregular tree seed.
"seed."
The merchant paused briefly, and then the last merchant chose to tell Lu Li: "The seed of the Eye of the Inspector."
That is the peripheral existence of the inner world where merchants live.
"You need it badly?"
"All the Eyes of the Overseer are dead, and seeds are needed there."
"Can you make it sprout?"
"Can."
The Eye of the Inspector coexists with the merchants. Without the merchants, the Eye of the Inspector will wither and die due to lack of care, and without the protection of the Eye of the Inspector, the world will become unstable.
After giving the seeds to the merchant, Lu Li took the raven with him and left Wanghai Cliff to the northeast of the Elm Forest.
Around the silent hills. Near noon, they arrived at the coastline, with the big ship Andrea floating not far away.
The distant sound of the whistle echoed on the sea surface, and the eldest sister in the hood stretched out her little hand and waved in response.
After climbing over the overturned wooden boat on the beach and pushing it into the shallows, Lu Li picked up the oar and slid it closer to Andrea.
Bang.
The wooden boat gently bumped against Andrea's rusty hull, and the ropes wrapped around it, rolling up the wooden boat.
"dumb!"
The black crow spread its wings to maintain balance and followed them up to the deck and into the captain's cabin.
Woo
After blowing the whistle, Andrea left the offshore and headed along the Eren Peninsula to the port of Himfast at the other end.
The seeds of the Eye of the Supervisor gave Lu Li a reward of 10,000 contribution points, which was better than nothing. The merchant with the seeds left briefly and went to the other world to plant.
Barry no longer appeared, but the merchant still chose to follow Lu Li after returning from the world and did not resume trading.
Because it is difficult to build a store using black crows as messengers outside the ice-free port of Weiner.
Most of the messengers from the old days have died, leaving only the elderly messengers or their descendants, such as the black crow who followed Lu Li and the others.
Far around the port of Rodster, Andrea approached the port of Himfast along the south coast of the Allen Peninsula.
They arrived at the port of Himfast in the evening.
It was now in ruins, and because the port was far away from Himfast, they chose to stay on the ship for one night.
Andrea caught several more large fish whose scales fell off but did not grow limbs due to pollution. They took them back to the captain's cabin and cooked them.
As night fell, the surging darkness enveloped Andrea, leaving only the captain's cabin with the light that penetrated into the fog.
tick tick tick
Lu Li, who was waiting for the fish in the cooking pot to be cooked, quietly raised his gaze and looked towards the captain's room.
The sound of dripping is faint.
The eldest sister then grabbed Lu Li's shoulders and crawled out of the hood, yawned and said, "Andrea said there was an uninvited guest on board."
Knock knock knock
Suddenly there was a gentle knock on the captain's cabin door, and there was the sound of water drops hidden in the sea breeze.
Everyone looked at each other. Everyone was in the captain's cabin. Who was knocking on the door...?
The heat emanating from Ophelia's body is no longer stable.
In the silence, there was another knock on the door.
Knock knock knock
The slow rhythm sounded strangely, and others seemed to hear the sound of water dripping.
Lu Li left his seat and opened the door.
His actions scared others, and they thought Lu Li was being manipulated by something weird until Lu Li said calmly to the shadow outside the door: "Come in."
Pusius looked up at the tall black figure wearing a top hat and dripping water in front of the door. He carefully lowered his voice and asked, "Mr. Lu Li... do you know him?"
The tall silhouette-like silhouette ignored Lu Li's invitation and silently retreated into the darkness.
The dripping rainwater seeped into the wooden boards. Lu Li closed the door again and returned to his seat, as if nothing happened.
