Banner of the Evil God

The mechanical creature "Du'erden" ran very fast and had great strength. It pulled the bus carrying thirty or forty people and ran away. Seeing the scenery outside the window quickly retreating, it stopped and started along the way, and passengers got on and off. Soon, it passed through the long street with houses on both sides and came to a huge square.

Because the vision was limited in the car, Cambronne could not see how big the square was for the time being, but he at least knew that the car stopped twice in the square. It was not until the third time that they arrived at the first stop of their trip, Central Square North Station.

Du'erden would announce the station name at each stop, but it used a brief name. For example, "Central Square North Station" was called "Square North". This statement is really strange, but not difficult to understand.

When the bus arrived at the station, Cambronne got off the bus with his still confused wife and came to the same green platform.

After leaving the bus with poor vision, the central square of the Void City suddenly came into his sight.

"It's so big!"

At this moment, Cambronne could only say this.

Yes, it's really big!

The central square of the Void City is really too big!

How big is this square? He is currently standing on the bus stop on the north side of the square. At a glance, the area he can't see clearly is the scope of the square.

Of course, this is also due to Cambronne's myopia, but even so, the size of this square is enough to make him dumbfounded.

Such a huge square certainly cannot be empty. There are many pools, flower beds, and small and medium-sized amusement facilities. There are also many artists performing in the open air, some singing, some reciting, some performing acrobatics, and some performing magic... He even saw several extraordinary adventurers performing.

For example, a female ranger not far away, she set up several targets about fifty steps away from her, and shot arrows at the targets one by one, and the arrows were all shot at the targets.

Near the target, a swordsman in leather armor was practicing swordsmanship. His swordsmanship was not fast, but each sword was steady and sharp. Cambronne secretly calculated that if he could not gain an advantage by strength, then he could only last about ten rounds.

On the other side of the target, a topless barbarian was also performing. His performance method was very crude, which was to let ordinary tourists hit him with thick wooden sticks. I saw tall men struggling to hold wooden sticks thicker than their arms and hit him hard again and again. Although they often hit him backwards, they did not hurt him at all.

This scene was probably just interesting to ordinary people, but Cambronne's eyelids jumped.

(Oh my god, am I seeing things? That should be the Barbarian's special expertise, 'Damage Reduction'. To be able to cultivate damage reduction to this level, this person must have already entered a high-level level, right? A high-level adventurer actually performs on the street? I think my eyes really need treatment...)

When he saw the performers on the other side, Cambronne even wondered if there was something wrong with his brain and he was hallucinating.

They were several mages, casting spells of at least mid-level.

Unlike adventurers of the martial arts direction, spellcasters generally have a comfortable life and a stable income. They don't need and can't go to the streets to perform, especially those mages who have passed the most difficult low-level mage era and entered the middle-level.

Every mid-level mage has at least the equivalent of a low-level noble, and many mid-level mages have wealth that exceeds most knights, and may even be close to the level of a baron. Cambronne could never imagine that a baron would go to the streets to perform - and judging from their expressions, they seemed very happy.

Why is this happening? Shouldn't mid-level mages be building or preparing to build their own magic towers? No matter how poor they are, they will at least have their own magic lab!

Why would a mid-level mage walk out of the lab and go to the streets to perform?

"There must be something wrong with this world..." Cambronne muttered in a low voice, no longer bothering to look at anything more, closing his eyes, and leaning weakly on the pillar of the bus stop.

As a resident of the Secret Tower Federation, he was taught from childhood that "everything is inferior, only mages are superior." Now he witnessed with his own eyes that several respectable mid-level - or even higher-level - mages were performing on the streets like downtrodden wandering adventurers. This scene dealt a heavy blow to him mentally.

Because of the blow, Cambronne seemed a little dazed when he took the next bus to Shenshu Station in the direction of the North Square. He walked as if he was walking on cotton, swaying and unsteady.

If he was alone, he might have tripped over his feet, but fortunately Jane was by his side and cared about him.

With Jane's support, he finally got over the dizziness and regained his composure.

"Every place is different. The wild vegetables that can be found everywhere in the south may be delicacies in the north; the schools of fish in the ice lakes in the north can be sold at a high price in restaurants in the south... If food is like this, what about people?"

Cambronne talked to himself and slowly regained his composure.

Of course, this is also due to the green light in the sky.

After getting off the train at the Shenshu Station, the first feeling was cool and comfortable.

This cool feeling does not come from the skin, but from the heart. What makes the heart cool is the green light all over the sky.

They come from the lush tree canopy above the head that almost covers the sky. And not far ahead is a huge tree trunk that requires at least 20 or 30 people to hold hands to form a circle around it.

When he saw the giant tree, Cambronne's heart seemed to be washed by clear water, and all kinds of chaotic thoughts were washed away, and the whole person completely restored his usual calmness and stability.

He turned his head to look at his wife. The confusion on his wife's face had disappeared. Although her eyes were still a little confused, she looked much more energetic.

"Jane, is this the tree you just felt?" he asked.

"Yes... no..." Jane nodded first, then shook her head, frowned and thought for a long time, then said uncertainly, "Inside the tree... what attracts me is inside the tree."

Cambronne was stunned for a moment, holding his wife's hand, and came to the front of the sacred tree together.

He looked carefully at the thick trunk, but could not find even a crack on it, let alone a place to hide things.

"Are you feeling wrong? This tree should be intact." He said.

Jane shook her head vigorously: "No! Not like that! Inside the tree! Something inside the tree is calling me!"

She suddenly became excited, shook off Cambronne's hand, clenched her hands into fists, and slammed heavily on the trunk: "Open! Open quickly! Open for me!"

Cambronne was startled, and hurriedly hugged her arm and dragged her back with force. But Jane, who was usually weak, burst out with amazing strength at this moment. Even as a knight, he could not stop her action. Instead, she shook her hand and staggered back several steps, almost falling to the ground.

"Jane! What's wrong with you?!" He was shocked and frightened, and shouted, "What happened?"

"Nothing, she was just affected by some unnecessary influence." Another voice answered him, and a green jellyfish appeared in front of them, stopped Jane with its tentacles, and rolled her up, sending her back to Cambronne.

Cambronne hurriedly saluted and greeted the great Majesty of the Void Mask.

"I'm glad you came so quickly." Sui Xiong said with a smile, "Her situation is actually very simple, but I really don't know how to explain it to you... Or, I can tell you the truth, but are you really sure you need to know the so-called 'truth'?"

He smiled, looking at Cambronne with a face full of doubts, and Jane who was still trying to move forward and smash the sacred tree even though she was wrapped by the tentacles.

"Behind the truth, it is often extremely heavy. Cambronne, are you mentally prepared to bear that weight?"

Cambronne was startled, looked at the smiling Majesty of the Void Mask, and then looked at Jane who seemed to be crazy and desperately trying to move forward, and fell into deep thought.

He thought for a long time, and finally let out a long breath, saying, "I've decided that I don't want to ask the truth."

"Who was Jane in the past? What was her origin? What grudges did she have? Or what mission did she carry?... Of course, I want to know all of this." He said, "But I know one thing very well, the past is over after all. For us, it is really important to grasp the present and strive for a better future."

"If the 'past' will become a burden to us, then let it pass completely. I don't want to ask anything, and I don't want to know anything."

After saying this, he felt relieved, and the worries that had been weighing heavily on his heart disappeared.

In fact, he has been worried and afraid for these years.

Who is his wife? Why did His Majesty the Void Mask suddenly come to find him? What did he say again?

He didn't understand why, but he knew that there must be an amazing secret behind it.

The fact that his wife has been in a coma for more than ten years is probably related to this secret. The legendary wizard Master Tuyan suddenly changed his attitude and was willing to help him, probably because of this secret. Even His Majesty the Void Mask came to him again and instructed him to come to the Void City to see the sacred tree, probably because of this secret.

What exactly is this secret?

Of course he would be curious and want to know this secret, but compared to curiosity, he wanted to restore his stable and peaceful life in the past.

He was just an ordinary mortal who just wanted to live an ordinary life. No matter what secrets Jane had, it was not worth destroying the stable life that was about to be restored for it.

For their stable and happy future, let the secrets go with the wind!

I actually got the chapter name wrong before, which is shameful!

There will be double monthly tickets at the end of this month. If you want to vote for monthly tickets, you might as well wait until the end of the month...
