Just a moment ago it was a messy battlefield, with trees downturned and soil flying, but now it has turned into a vast wilderness full of flowers and green grass.
The air is filled with flickering light spots, swaying like fireflies all over the sky. In the center of the wilderness, there is an extremely huge and ancient tree. The trunk part naturally grows into the shape of a house, forming a warm and cozy building.
Mysterious three-story tree house.
There are large and small stone statues scattered around the wilderness. These stone statues are carved into round human shapes and are covered with moss.
Yan Qishi appeared quietly beside Heather, stepped on the green grass with bare feet, and raised his head slightly: "The air is filled with a large number of 'elemental spirits'. The time and space here are very different from the outside world, and it is not the real world.
"
Heather disembodied the absolute royal power and took off her hood: "Netherworld?"
"Almost, it would be more appropriate to call it a 'narrow valley'. This is the place between the real world and the underworld."
Yan Qishi pointed to the dark woodland in the deepest part of the wilderness:
"There is the entrance to the nether world that can be entered even with the body. It can be said to be the borderland."
Heather let out a roar, as if that was the case.
Horse hooves stepped on the green grass, and the skeleton knight drove the horse slowly past them, changing his murderous appearance before, looking quiet and peaceful.
"Look, he looks more like a heartless man who came to see his old lover." Heather said quietly to Qi Shi, who nodded.
The skeleton knight in the distance glanced sideways at Heather, then jumped off his horse and walked up the steps formed by tree trunks step by step.
Look at this impatient look, hey, you are a little reserved at least, Lord Overlord!
Heather and Qishi looked at each other and walked up the steps. When they opened the wooden door, they saw a jungle-like interior decoration. There were unnamed green plants and fruits everywhere, as well as large and small fruits.
Bottles, cans and many cloth bags with names on them.
Heather picked up a small stone on the table, crushed it, and then put it back. The witch profession is very proficient in herbal medicine. They can make a variety of potions, so there are many people who are good at medicine in the witch hunting activities.
The folk doctor was captured and burned as a witch.
All the way to the second floor, the door to the main hall opened automatically.
I saw the huge floor-to-ceiling windows reflecting the sunlight, and in the center of the main hall surrounded by countless flowers, sat an old woman with a graceful and elegant figure.
She wore a simple long skirt and a headscarf on her head. Even though she was old, her youthful beauty could still be seen from her face.
The skeleton knight stood in the main hall and looked out the window, very quiet. The old woman smiled and glanced at the skeleton knight, then looked at Heather and Rong Qishi, stood up from the chair with some difficulty, smiled and said:
"Welcome to the Spirit Tree Pavilion, I am the owner of this pavilion, Flora."
"I have long admired your name." Heather and Rin Qishi bowed slightly to greet Flora.
Flora looked at the skeleton knight next to her: "This old friend of mine had a conflict with you two because he was worried about my safety. Can you allow me to apologize to you two on his behalf?"
As she spoke, she put her hands on her skirt and bowed gracefully.
"I'm not just here to find you, Witch Flora. This Skeleton Knight is also my target. It was a friendly exchange just now, and it's not about forgiveness. Am I right, [Overlord]?"
When Heather said the title 'Overlord', the witch Flora seemed a little surprised. The Skeleton Knight also turned around from the window and looked at Heather. After a moment of silence, he asked: "You know my identity."
"Garcelik, the overlord who unified the continent a thousand years ago, do you need me to explain in more detail?"
Heather found a chair and sat down on his own, Qishi stood beside him.
"Old friends, you might as well sit down and have a good chat. I'll make you a pot of good tea. I have a hunch that this will be a conversation about the future destiny of the entire world."
She smiled and clapped her hands: "Shirji?"
"Master, I'm here." A green-haired little girl with a pointed wizard hat walked out of the back room timidly. She was holding a twisted mage's staff and was wearing a witch's robe.
Bird's pink fairy looks more like a wizard than Heather just by looking at it.
"I have a distinguished guest coming to visit. Could you please prepare some refreshments?"
"Okay, okay." Shirji nodded. When he turned to look at Heather, he found that this super good-looking black-haired man blinked at him. He was so frightened that his face turned red and he ran out of the main hall.
Flora smiled helplessly: "Please don't tease my apprentice too much, this..."
"Heather, at your service." Heather put her hand on her chest and bowed slightly, then pointed at Qishi beside her: "This is Qishi, my... partner."
Qishi held the hem of her skirt and performed an elegant ladylike gesture.
Not long after, various refreshments and several cups of steaming black tea were placed on the long oak table on the open-air balcony outside the second floor.
Flora, Heather and Qishi were sitting at the table talking nonsense and sipping tea. The skeleton knight was still standing by the balcony looking towards the forest in the distance. The war horse wearing skeletal armor stayed quietly in the soul.
Beside the tree pavilion, the little witch Shirji was squatting timidly and curiously observing it.
The teacup was gently placed on the coaster made of woven long leaves. Flora looked at Heather across the long table: "Mr. Heather, you came to Lingshu Forest specifically to look for me and my old friend. May I ask why?
What's going on?"
Heather wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin and said calmly: "I came to look for you because you may be my strongest allies in the world."
"Ally?" Flora was a little confused.
Heather smiled slightly, put her finger into the teacup and dipped some tea, then drew a strange symbol on the table:
"I'm going to deal with the five guys standing behind these guys."
This is...! Seeing the symbols drawn with tea on the table, Flora suddenly became serious, and the Skeleton Knight also turned his head.
"...How did you know there were five?" The Skeleton Knight's voice was low.
"A Hand of God appears every 216 years, and a dark age begins every 1080. Thousands of years ago, your huge empire was completely destroyed overnight, and [Archangel Potter] became the key fifth Hand of God.
.And now, the [Eagle] recorded in the Book of Revelation has appeared, and this is the best opportunity."
Heather tapped her fingers rhythmically on the oak table:
"You have hunted the Hand of God, and the witch Flora is your strong backing, but in the face of the dark age that has reappeared after a thousand years, are you confident that you can wipe them all out?"
The skeleton knight folded his arms in front of his chest and said in a low voice unhurriedly: "This is a long-lasting war, outsiders. Hunting with the hand of God is definitely not something that ordinary swords can do, only in the destiny.
At this moment, there is a slight chance to inflict heavy damage on their bodies. Eliminate them all... Hey, you are quite brave."
In response to the Skeleton Knight's words, Heather shrugged her shoulders in disbelief and turned to look at Flora: "What about you, witch?"
"Mr. Heather, the Hands of God have no real body in the real world. If you are lucky enough to see them, what you see is just the reflection of their true body in the deepest part of the netherworld projected in the real world.
'.Striking the reflection of the moon on the water with a sword will have no effect on the moon hanging high in the night sky except making waves on the water."
Flora sighed softly:
"I'm glad to see that there are brave people who are willing to stand up and fight against the Hand of God, but hunting the Hand of God needs to be considered in the long term."
